Kill me if you can (4)
Shen Tang nodded, then followed her cheap father with light steps. When she passed by the maid who was beaten to death, she stopped for a moment and glanced at her. It was all her own fault, and Shen Tang did not sympathize with her. As for where Father Jiang would send this maid in the future, that was not something she could control.
The young man in fox fur followed the owner of Yaoge and boarded a carriage at the gate of Jiang's house. Shen Tang, who was sitting in the carriage, felt the vibration quietly, and her chest felt a little stuffy, but she just reached out and rubbed her chest gently, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, and with her other hand she lifted the curtain on the side and looked at the constantly changing scene outside.
The carriage was moving slowly and unsteadily. It was unknown how long it had been moving before Shen Tang realized that it was gradually coming to a stop. The new maid temporarily replaced the previous maid and was responsible for taking care of her.
"Little, young master," when Shen Tang got off the car, the new maid Lu Ya carefully reached out her hand to pick her up. Her movements were very proper, which made Shen Tang look at her a few more times. It was better this way, so as to avoid any trouble in the future.
"Remember, people outside have to call me Young Master," Shen Tang lifted his coat slightly and stepped on the ground in his black-soled green boots. His dark eyes slowly looked towards the drugstore in front of him, and a huge plaque was hung right above the drugstore.
"Cures all diseases," Shen Tang couldn't help but twitch his lips as he read it out loud. This name is really easy to understand.
As Shen Tang got off the carriage, everyone's eyes gradually gathered in her direction. After all, she was the son of the owner of the Medicine Pavilion, and the Medicine Pavilion occupied a considerable position in the capital. This time she came to one of the medicine stores under the name of the Medicine Pavilion, and naturally she would attract attention from all sides.
"Look, isn't that Mr. Jiang? He's so handsome!"
"Yes, yes, I don't know which young lady will be lucky enough to be favored by the future master of the Medicine Pavilion."
A group of girls gathered behind her to discuss something, but the noise was so loud that Shen Tang could hear it clearly. She stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, she took the last step steadily, and then she reached out and gently wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.
"Master, Young Master, please come in." A middle-aged man walked out of the pharmacy quickly and led the two of them into the house. This allowed Shen Tang to avoid the "covetous" gazes from all sides outside.
"Tangtang, the place where our pharmacy refines secret medicine is located right here," the old pharmacist stroked his short white beard earnestly, and while explaining to Shen Tang in a low voice, he raised his hand to signal her to follow. Although the people working in the pharmacy were still talking with the merchants around them, their eyes were full of awe when they looked at the old pharmacist and Shen Tang.
Is this the influence of the Medicine Pavilion? Shen Tang thought to himself, and followed the slightly hunched back in front of him. Walking from the exhibition stand where various medicinal materials were placed to a room where a huge medicine cauldron was placed, Shen Tang was wondering why the so-called Medicine Pavilion base should not be so small, when the old Pavilion Master in front of him took a step towards the medicine cauldron, stretched out his wrinkled hand and bent down a corner of the medicine cauldron.
"Boom——"
As a loud noise was heard, the huge medicine cauldron in front of him began to move, gradually revealing a door that was originally close to the cauldron.
Shen Tang subconsciously looked in the direction they came from. With such a big commotion, someone would definitely notice it, right?
However, the cheap old man seemed to see through her doubts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there must be a reason why the Medicine Pavilion has existed for so long. How could I let others know the location of the secret medicine brewed in the Medicine Pavilion so easily?"
Shen Tang chuckled and didn't point it out in the end. The medicine pavilion was not discovered, but Yun Sheng caught Jiang Mo refining the medicine. Otherwise, the other party would not have come specifically to assassinate him.
"The soundproofing around this giant tripod is excellent, there is no need to worry about any sound coming out," the old owner said proudly, and the next moment he walked into the newly opened passage. Shen Tang raised his eyes nonchalantly and followed the old man into the passage.
To Shen Tang's surprise, the place connecting the pharmacy where the members made medicine was quite far from the pharmacy itself, so it was truly remarkable that such a long passage could be built.
At the same time as the other door was opened, light slowly shone into Shen Tang's eyes. The sound of "puffing" of flames echoed in the huge space, and a group of medicine pavilion members in gray robes were processing medicinal materials in different positions in an orderly manner. The dense crowds of people made Shen Tang stunned. She seemed to have entered a large factory full of people!
Seeing the appearance of the head of the Medicine Pavilion and Shen Tang, the members of the Medicine Pavilion surprisingly stopped what they were doing and looked over there in unison.
"I have met the Pavilion Master and the Young Master!"
Jiang Jiutang and Jiang Mo always appeared in men's clothing, so even the members of the Medicine Pavilion did not know their true gender and always regarded them as young masters. They were not surprised when they saw Shen Tang, but just thought that their young master was much more handsome, and they did not suspect that the "son" of the Pavilion Master in front of them had been replaced a long time ago.
The base of Medicine Pavilion was not here during the last mission. This time, perhaps due to a bug, some of the plots in the world were different, so Medicine Pavilion was set up here. However, this group of people were still old acquaintances she had met when she used the identity of Jiang Mo. Shen Tang smiled calmly, and after the old pavilion owner spoke, she also greeted the members of Medicine Pavilion calmly.
"Young Master is here. You are indeed worthy of being the son of the Pavilion Master. You always keep in mind new prescriptions for treating diseases. I think you will be better than me in the future and develop the Medicine Pavilion."
Looking at Shen Tang, the members of the Medicine Pavilion couldn't help but sigh. Their young master really came more frequently than anyone else, coming every day to check on the progress of the new medicine. Having such a master is not only a blessing for them, but also a blessing for the common people.
Shen Tang had no idea what these old friends in front of her were thinking of her. She walked with ease to a young man who was not much older than her. In the last mission, it was this man who successfully developed a prescription for dealing with sudden illness. She couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.
"If you work hard, you will surely be able to develop a medicine to fight against the disease in the future."
The man stared blankly at the young master who suddenly came to encourage him. His eyes were instantly filled with tears and he wanted to pound his chest hard to swear.
"I will definitely live up to your high expectations!"
After saying this, he immersed himself in his work again, which made Shen Tang nod with satisfaction. This time, as long as they could survive the outbreak of the disease and prevent the old master of Qianji Pavilion from attacking the Medicine Pavilion by borrowing the prescription, they could avoid the weakening of the Third Prince's subordinates. Even if Yun Sheng found out that he had killed the wrong person, it would not prevent him from becoming the new master of Qianji Pavilion.
She let her cheap father take her around the base of the medicine pavilion where the group of people were developing the medicine prescriptions, and then she went back to the medicine store along the passage. After the two of them came out of the passage, the huge medicine cauldron returned to its original position under the action of the mechanism.
"Tangtang, you have to shoulder the burden of your sister during this period of time. Come to the medicine pavilion often to inspect. Except for the first time, if the third prince comes to see you, you must do your best to get along with him."
The old owner of the medicine pavilion was walking and talking to Shen Tang, and before she knew it, she had walked out of the medicine store. As soon as she stepped onto the ground outside the medicine pavilion, a steady voice came from in front of her.
"It turns out to be Mr. Jiang and Brother Mo." A familiar face slowly came into Shen Tang's sight. She smiled faintly, "What a coincidence, His Royal Highness the Third Prince."
Murong Jin is tall, a head taller than Shen Tang. Despite this, Shen Tang still overpowers him with his aura.
She had expected to meet Yun Sheng on the way, but she had not expected the Third Prince to appear here. She just didn't know why he came here, whether he was just passing by or had something important to discuss with them.
The third prince stared at the young man in front of him with burning eyes: "I wonder if the medicine pavilion has made a new prescription for the medicine of immortality..."
Murong Jin's voice suddenly lowered, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Tang.
She raised her eyes and looked at the other person: "Your Highness the Third Prince, I think we have made it very clear to you that there is no such medicine in the world. If you want the Medicine Pavilion to be truly useful to you, don't make such an embarrassing request."
Having said that, Shen Tang walked forward without looking back, but she did not walk towards the carriage, but walked towards the street on the side.
"Xiao Mo, how can you talk like that!" The head of Yao Pavilion cursed fiercely, but the next moment he frowned and smiled, "Third Prince, please don't mind, my kid has always been like this."
Murong Jin shook his head helplessly: "It's okay, Brother Mo has already told me about this matter. I know his character very well. I am just imagining things. Since Brother Mo has urgent matters to attend to, I will not bother you any more."
Shen Tang, who Murong Jin said had important things to do, was now strolling leisurely in the market. Lu Ya was worried that she would be beaten if she didn't keep an eye on him, so she followed Shen Tang closely when he walked away.
Just when Shen Tang thought that no more accidents would happen, a figure suddenly appeared in her sight.
A black-clothed man with long black hair on his shoulders brushed past her side seemingly unintentionally. Shen Tang looked straight at him, and his eyes were tightly closed, seemingly unintentional. However, the next moment, she raised her lips in a good mood, her eyebrows curved, and also "accidentally" fell to the ground. The two figures just happened to avoid each other, and the man did not hit her. She clapped her hands and stood up slowly with the support of Green Bud.
"Lu Ya, let's go back," Shen Tang said calmly, but his eyes glanced at the man in black without leaving a trace.
Oh, do you really think she can't see through these little tricks?
Shen Tang heaved a sigh of relief. If she hadn't seen Yun Sheng's appearance, she would have thought that he had just brushed past her. She saw the three bone needles on the man's fingertips clearly. If she had let this guy bump into her, she would probably be a dead soul now.
"Master, are you okay? That person just now was really blind and almost bumped into you!"
