Chapter 152 The best episode
elder:"……"
He was silent for a moment, his expression became strange.
The miracle doctor in front of them was indeed right. The plague in Songcheng alone was indeed not enough to warrant an audience with His Majesty. They did prepare a backup plan, but this plan... was indeed not as bold as what the miracle doctor said. He actually used the "immortality" drug as bait.
This genius doctor's wild words even seem more like he is mentally ill than the emperor! Is he almost certain that he will take her in?
The old man's folded hands moved slowly, the gentle smile on his face disappeared, and the unpredictability and arrogance unique to people who have been in high positions for a long time appeared. His slightly sharp eyebrows, under the expressionless softness, highlighted a bit of condescending and harshness.
This miracle doctor...how much did he guess?
Although he thought so in his heart, and even though he still had the shock he felt when he first heard it, the old man kept a stern face.
The air was filled with dead silence, like a beast sizing up its prey.
The elder brother of the Zhang family in front of him changed his expression. Just by looking at the other party's performance, the old man who had been in the officialdom for decades could see what this person was thinking.
This elder brother is obviously not as talented as his younger sister.
If his sister had not taken action, this incompetent brother would probably have died in the ghost plague in Songcheng.
The old man ignored his brother's face turning pale and he refused. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the real boss with gray eyes and a smile.
He said cryptically, "Aren't you afraid of being charged with deceiving the emperor for making such a boast?"
Liuwei laughed twice: "They are not as useful as me. The indentures of those Taoists are not in your hands. If you bring them to Zhongzhou, aren't you afraid that the past events in Nanzhou will happen again?"
The old man, whose vitals were cut, narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his hands for a moment: "..."
How did she know!
Something was wrong. He realized it instantly. This miracle doctor was hiding deeper than he had imagined. Why would she help them?
The Taoist priest sold his body to the Taoist God. How did this kid know the secrets of Taoism? This is not something that a mere merchant in Nanzhou can know. There is a lot behind this.
The old man quickly thought of several candidates in his mind, but he still couldn't figure out who sent the miracle doctor in front of him.
The timing of the appearance of this young miracle doctor was also very clever. It happened to be at this critical moment, when the imperial teacher had just had a big quarrel with the emperor and there was a vacancy beside him.
The sharp hyenas in the court immediately saw the opportunity. The undercurrents beneath the calm surface of all kinds of people with ulterior motives were enough to crush ordinary people to pieces. Any smart person would definitely avoid it. Why bother to get involved in such things?
There must be someone else behind this miracle doctor. Who is it?
The old man felt a chill on his back.
He and his accomplices put a lot of effort into the caravan matter, trying to avoid anyone's attention. They thought they had succeeded, but it was obviously not the case. There was a pair of eyes secretly watching them. Could it be that the plague in Songcheng, Nanzhou was created by someone just to send this miracle doctor to him?
The old man would never dare to ignore the details and calculations.
There are people with such strength and scheming in Nanzhou. Could it be that a certain state religion in Nanzhou intends to invade Zhongzhou? Is he trying to show goodwill during this sudden change and find a way out? Or is it that the young emperor of Nanzhou is helping to promote the civil unrest in the neighboring country?
The old man suddenly felt a little regretful that he had taken on the task of recruiting the miracle doctor, otherwise he would not have to face this situation.
Should I agree or not?
But soon, the old man discovered something even more terrifying. He suddenly found that from beginning to end, the blind doctor had never shown any sign of panic.
With his years of observation and observation, the old man could only draw a picture of an extremely calm person from Liuwei's various movements, as if he knew everything about the situation, and even...
He felt that he had been completely seen through! So even though he was blind, even though he was brought here and might be threatened, this person was sure that nothing would happen to him!
The old man's eyebrows twitched.
I suddenly felt panic in my heart.
It is better to ask how much the people behind the miracle doctor know! Do they have a backup plan? Will they reveal all this to the Qilin Emperor?
The answer seems clear.
Liuwei held his chin with one hand, leisurely responding to the old man's seemingly oppressive silence.
A deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
Let him measure for his other self, what the situation has become...
He moved his eyes with interest.
What kind of decision will this lord make for himself and Zhongzhou?
Gu Dingbang's voice became lower and finally disappeared in a long silence.
He gritted his teeth, a familiar feeling of powerlessness surging from his heart. He finally looked down at Liu Wei, only to see that this man was still calm and composed, and was hardly moved by the high-ranking officials above him. Gu Dingbang, who had already begun to understand this seemingly pure and innocent leader, immediately recognized Liu Wei's current state.
——This guy is watching the show.
Gu Dingbang was instantly deflated.
The powerlessness in my heart slowly turned into helplessness.
He should have known who this cult leader was long ago. It couldn't be a simple person for someone to be able to train evil spirits like dogs in a cult full of evil spirits!
All the passion and worries were immediately gone.
When Gu Dingbang thought of Shi Yuan's words, the balance of trust in his heart began to waver. He originally firmly believed that whether it was the accidental appearance of the Right Protector or the title of Songcheng Miracle Doctor, they were all made by Liuwei by accident. After all, he really was very much like the protagonists in those popular storybooks in Nanzhou. He was blessed by heaven, and everything went smoothly no matter what he did. Finally, with a little wisdom, any problem could be easily solved.
Moreover, no matter what his background is, it fits the description very well. He was born with a disease, was taken away by a ghost, and his special abilities were used, so he became the leader of the mascot cult. However, with his diligence, he finally trained countless evil ghosts in the cult. Even if he planned for the evil ghosts to escape, the evil ghosts would chase after him miserably, not wanting to or daring to do anything to him. Occasionally, he was used to balance the balance of another pursuer...
Wait, wait, Gu Dingbang started to slack off with his eyes wide open, full of disbelief.
This template is more like a villain than the protagonists!
Then he who follows the villain...
Huh?
Gu Dingbang lowered his head in confusion.
The beautiful woman sitting in the wheelchair looked calm and composed, as if she was planning something, and she raised the corner of her mouth to the senior official opposite her. In a trance, Liuwei's aura even overwhelmed the senior official. Gu Dingbang seemed to see a thin layer of sweat on the forehead of the senior official opposite him.
He raised his voice slightly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Sir, no one can refuse immortality, just like this proposal, you can't refuse it, and you don't have to refuse it."
The adult's eyes widened and the muscles on his face trembled, as if he had mistakenly thought that Liu Wei was blind. A hint of struggle gradually emerged on his face, but quickly disappeared.
"Because," Liu Wei put his hands together, very confidently: "This is obviously a win-win situation."
The old man closed his eyes slightly.
“…”
"make a deal."
After a long time.
In the dim mansion.
Listen carefully to the sound of the wheelchair moving over the stone slabs.
The straight back finally collapsed like a crushed mountain.
"I agree to this matter, is it good or bad..."
He sighed deeply.
Only then did the old man realize that cold sweat had already soaked his back.
***
Inside the inn.
Gu Dingbang was puzzled: "What on earth happened?"
Liu Wei tapped the table lightly: "Do you know him?"
Gu Dingbang shook his head: "Who knows? I'm not from Zhongzhou."
Liu Wei quickly revealed the answer to Gu Dingbang. He whispered, "That guy is Han Zhang, a loyal minister of the Zhongzhou court. He has served in two dynasties and was once a minister. On the surface, he is a lone minister of the current Zhongzhou emperor."
"On the surface?" Shi Yuan immediately grasped the point.
Liuwei nodded. He certainly knew this man. After all, he was once the "Emperor of Zhongzhou". Moreover, he had not listened to the books in Zhongzhou these days in vain. Sometimes certain rumors in the capital could also reflect something.
This guy showed up at the mansion today. It was obvious that Han Zhang was not as supportive of the emperor as he seemed. No, it would be better to say that he had already surrendered to certain people in Zhongzhou. Perhaps, his coming in person today to meet and recruit the miracle doctor was also a way to express his sincerity to the people behind the scenes.
On the surface, the Jiantian Division is guarding the capital of Zhongzhou, but in secret, whether it is monitoring or protecting, the boundary is not clear. According to the appearance of another him, those who have ulterior motives may be under close surveillance and control, which is why other people need to come forward.
The uncontrollable Taoist priests who were summoned, the Zhongzhou court with eccentric thoughts, the rumored falling out with the "imperial teacher", the current tense relationship between the academy and the Zhongzhou court, and the rumors that "himself", the emperor, is tyrannical and sexually abnormal.
All of this, everything, has contributed to the current bizarre and ever-changing situation in the capital of Zhongzhou.
So the question is, as an outsider, what should I do to make this muddy water even more muddy?
"Han Zhang, why was he so nervous at the end?"
Gu Dingbang asked curiously.
Liuwei touched his chin with a smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, and showed a bit of viciousness: "Maybe they think that colluding with a foreigner like me from Nanzhou and betraying the country in order to achieve their party's goals is too stressful, right?"
The room was silent.
Except for Liuwei, the two men and the cub were stunned.
The fruit in the octopus's hand fell on the table and rolled out, and was caught accurately by Liuwei.
"Collaborating with the enemy and treason!" Gu Dingbang said blankly: "Ah? No, what is this about Nanzhou again! You are not really having an affair with the Nanzhou Dynasty, are you?"
He leaned forward nervously: "You really want to stir up civil unrest in Zhongzhou so that Nanzhou can attack us!"
"Listen! We can't do such a terrible thing!" Gu Dingbang said with tears in his eyes: "What are you doing! If they really start fighting, there will be a lot of casualties!"
"No! Octopus! Pack up your things! Let's quickly grab your aunt and run! If he doesn't leave! I'll really break his legs!"
The octopus responded immediately.
Shi Yuan also hesitated and asked, "Are you really going to do this? Is there any benefit in this? Is it interesting?"
Liuwei: “…”
Does he look so funny? Huh?
Couldn't he be an undercover agent for peace and justice?
Wait! Don't come over here!
Seeing that Gu Dingbang was really going to take action, Liuwei finally panicked. He could stir up trouble with his tongue, but he was still a mortal! His legs would really break if he was hit!
He hurriedly explained: "I am an old acquaintance of the Emperor of Zhongzhou! I am here to help him!"
"Old acquaintance?" Gu Dingbang paused, then laughed angrily, "Because I believe that you, the leader of a mountainous country, and the Emperor of Zhongzhou are old acquaintances, I might as well believe that you are the Emperor of Zhongzhou!"
"Don't you even want to use your brain before lying to me?" Gu Dingbang said angrily.
“…”
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you! I have nothing to do with the Jinyiwei! I have nothing to do with the Emperor of Zhongzhou! I saw that the people behind Han Zhang were planning to take advantage of the Emperor of Zhongzhou's illness and rumors, and cooperate with Taoism to launch a military remonstration while the Emperor of Zhongzhou's power was weak, so I decided to help the Emperor of Zhongzhou! I want to be a lone hero for him!"
Liuwei's face was full of determination.
"..." Gu Dingbang held Liu Wei's hand and paused, thinking for a while, then said with a distressed look on his face: "We are not from Zhongzhou, isn't this a bit too hard for you?"
“…”
"It's not hard," Liuwei gritted his teeth, "Put me down now! I promise not to do anything else. If I leave, it will be even worse if they replace me with someone who is hostile to Zhongzhou."
After a period of chaos.
The three of them and their child were finally able to sit down and have a good chat.
"Anyway, that's it." Liuwei held his forehead helplessly.
Gu Dingbang, who was completely confused by what he heard, didn't think he could reconstruct the overall situation from those rumors and details. He looked at the smart man with a complicated expression: "So you promised Han Zhang that you would make a name for yourself as the world's number one doctor and get an audience with the emperor. You just told him to wait and see, but we are unfamiliar with the place, what are you going to do!"
"It's not like they're really talking about immortality, is it? Only a fool would believe in it!" Gu Dingbang said, touching his chin.
"No one will believe me if I start with something so difficult. I have to eat one bite at a time, and I have to do this step by step as well." Liu Wei straightened his clothes that were pulled apart during the tugging and shoving, and stared at Gu Dingbang meaningfully. "At the beginning, of course, I will make what I am best at."
Gu Dingbang was startled by being stared at and said in confusion: "Ah?"
Liu Wei's mouth curved into an evil arc: "Making the impossible come true, making the impossible appear, um... making men give birth to children, how can it not be considered a miracle? Can other doctors do it! "
