Chapter 89 Poisoning
Zhao Wumian got the holiday and the elixir, and left the hall contentedly.
Chang Mao came out, clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I..."
Zhu Biao waved his hand to stop him and looked at him: "What? You don't accept it? Don't you understand your father-in-law's painstaking efforts? I have told you so many times in the past, but you never listened! You practiced the "Heavenly Dragon Art" forcefully, but you couldn't suppress your vicious nature, and you fell into depravity, killing surrendered soldiers indiscriminately, and abused your power and broke the law! If it weren't for your father-in-law, and if the emperor hadn't made a decision, you, the Duke of Zheng, would have been replaced long ago!"
"..."
Chang Mao's face turned pale.
Chang Yuchun had three sons and three daughters, and Chang Mao had two sons who could inherit the title.
Zhu Biao was furious: "Look at Wumian again. He has the blood of Taotie, the leader of the four evil spirits. No matter how evil the dragon blood is, can it be more evil than Taotie? How did he do it? He kept himself clean and made great achievements. His true energy is as pure as water. Even if he got the essence of his father-in-law's dragon blood, he is still calm as before! Well, even if he is a genius, don't look at him, look at brother Wenying, he is also a Taotie, also obsessed with greed, but he is mature and cautious, which is why he has achieved what he has today. What about you?"
Chang Mao lowered his head and dared not speak.
Zhu Biao warned him solemnly: "Don't make trouble with Wumian in the future, you can't beat him! Don't forget what your father-in-law said, if you go crazy in the future, he can use the rolling cloud spear to destroy your power! Your father-in-law is better at judging people than you are. Wumian is already in the third realm, and the "Cang Tian Hua Long Jue" has also been perfected. You are not his opponent now, and you will be even worse in the future! Don't treat him as an enemy, remember what Confucius said, when you see a virtuous person, you should strive to emulate him!"
"Yes."
Chang Mao bowed and saluted: "I understand..."
"I hope you really understand."
Zhu Biao softened his tone, "Let him transport grain with you this time. Even if you can't change his impression of you, at least you can't push him out. Chang Sheng and Chang Sen have just grown up, and they have two younger sisters. The Chang family depends on you now. You don't want the Duke's Mansion to decline and end up with a bad father and a bad son, right?"
"Yes."
Chang Mao said seriously: "I understand."
"Do you really understand?"
"I really understand."
"Just understand, go ahead."
"Wei Chen retire."
Chang Mao wiped his sweat and slowly walked out.
Zhu Biao sighed.
Yun Qi comforted him, "I see that Duke Zheng has repented. I think the actions of Prince Kaiping this time have touched him. It would be a blessing if he could turn back."
Zhu Biao shook his head: "I am afraid that he will start something but not finish it. He will be exposed to the sun for one day and cold for ten days."
Yun Qi said, "Even so, Marquis Jingyuan has received great favor from the King of Kaiping, and he is a man who values friendship and loyalty. If something happens in the Duke's Mansion in the future, I think he will not sit idly by."
Zhu Biao hummed: "I have to say that my father-in-law made a good move. This is also the luck of the Chang family."
Yun Qi smiled and said, "I thought Your Highness would introduce other people from the Duke's Mansion."
Zhu Biao shook his head: "You are too eager. It's really a spoiler. Let's take it slow. It's a pity for Zhen'er. Why didn't I think of it earlier... How far have Wumian and Miss Shen progressed?"
Yun Qi thought for a moment and said, "According to the news sent back by the security guards, this Miss Shen is very much liked by Bai Liuli."
Zhu Biao understood: "As expected of a wealthy businessman, he has a keen eye for talent. Forget it, adding icing on the cake is not as good as helping someone in need, so let it go."
……
Zhao Wumian bought some wine and food and went home. He accidentally glanced at the Bailu Medical Clinic and found that in addition to the two drunkards Zhao Qi and Zhang Hua who were always there, there was also an old man with white hair who was teaching Zhang Yan medical skills.
Zhang Yan looked very serious as she was testing Zhang Hua's needle. There was a faint flickering light on the needle, but the light was purple.
"Three Fire Needles?"
Zhao Wumian took a serious look at it and thought to himself that something was wrong: "The color is dark purple, it is the 'Xianghuo Needle' from Baihua Valley."
The "Xianghuo Needle" is the unique acupuncture method of Zhu Danxi, the genius doctor of Baihua Valley. This time, he was invited to Beijing to treat Deng Yu's lung disease, and he unexpectedly came to the Egret Medical Clinic...
Zhang Yan is blessed with good fortune.
Zhao Wumian withdrew his gaze and pushed the door open.
In front of the clinic, Zhang Yan looked normal, picking up the needle and preparing to drop it, when the old man suddenly smiled: "Is it him?"
laugh!
Zhang Yan's hand was unstable and stabbed into Zhang Hua's laughing point on the waist.
Zhang Hua suddenly laughed uncontrollably, attracting the attention of others. Zhang Yan hurriedly untied the acupoints for her father, which made Zhao Qi's eyes twitch.
Zhu Danxi took a sip of wine calmly: "What a pity. I wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch."
Zhang Yan's hands froze in mid-air, her face pale.
"My dear disciple, follow me back to Baihua Valley."
Zhu Danxi said seriously: "You are very talented. You can withstand the invasion of Yin Qi with the Ghost Gate Needle and your technique is very steady. You are just right for studying the art of acupuncture. When you have learned it, there will be plenty of young talents for you to choose from. Why bother..."
Zhang Yan suddenly clenched the silver needle in her hand.
Zhu Danxi sighed and shook his head and said no more.
The more she argued, the more worried Zhang Hua and Zhao Qi became.
In fact, even if Zhao Wumian was not the Earl of Jingyuan, having three wives and four concubines was nothing in this era. The problem was that Zhang Yan did not want charity, and what she wanted was not just status, which made it difficult to deal with.
Even if Zhao Qi could force Zhao Wumian to get married, he couldn't force him to like someone.
Zhao Wumian really had no feelings for Zhang Yan, and that couldn't be forced.
Zhu Danxi rolled his eyes and said, "My dear disciple, I know a little bit about Ma Yi's physiognomy. I just took a quick look and saw something. I probably know why you can't win his heart."
So mysterious?
Not only Zhang Yan, but Zhao Qi and Zhang Hua also became interested.
Zhu Danxi said slowly: "Look at the eyebrows first. If the eyebrows fly into the temples, it means the person is talented and intelligent." The three of them nodded.
Zhu Danxi continued, "Look at the eyes again. They are like dragon eyes and phoenix eyes. They will surely enjoy great fortune."
The three of them continued to nod.
Zhu Danxi wanted to talk about the nose, but found that he had forgotten it. He was too lazy to make it up, so he said directly: "In short, this person has a face of great wealth and honor, well-proportioned bones and flesh, and extraordinary intelligence. The person he likes must be graceful and generous. My good disciple is good in every way, but he is too young and beautiful, and lacks aura! When you learn medical skills and acupuncture from your master, and become a great doctor in the world, as the saying goes: living in a place changes the spirit, nourishing the body changes the body, how great is living! You will naturally have aura, and are you afraid that this kid will not look at you differently?"
"Eh?"
Zhao Qi and Zhang Hua looked at each other and it seemed to make some sense.
Zhang Yan began to recall Shen Weiyang's appearance. As far as she knew, Zhao Wumian was only close to this person.
indeed.
Shen Weiyang was extremely beautiful, with red hair, red clothes and red skirt, like a ball of fire. Compared with the women in the Central Plains, she was even brighter than other women, more beautiful than all the other women, and had an imposing aura. Wherever she was, other women would feel ashamed of themselves, including herself. It was a unique aura that came from her status, wealth and strength.
It turned out to be like this...
Zhang Yan understood a little.
"Master."
Zhang Yan asked the last question: "Can the medical skills of Baihua Valley bring immortality?"
Zhu Danxi was stunned for a moment: "Master is 102 years old this year."
puff!
Zhao Qi and Zhang Hua spat out the wine in their mouths, their faces filled with shock.
They never imagined that the old man in front of them, who looked to be in his sixties, was actually already a hundred years old!
Zhu Danxi stroked his beard and said, "It's difficult to achieve immortality, my dear disciple. I won't hide it from you. My Baihua Valley does have a way to prolong life. We even had a recipe for an immortality elixir that was passed down from the pre-Qin period, but it has been lost now. If you have perseverance, you may be able to find it among the vast number of medical secret books in Baihua Valley."
Zhang Yan nodded, glanced at the courtyard, and said firmly: "I'll go with you!"
……
Zhao Wumian took Bai Liuli out, told his father, and took her to Jinghu Villa to live for a few days.
Bai Liuli was very excited, jumping up and down, while Xiaokui stood on her shoulders, chirping.
Two people and a bird came to the villa.
Xiao Yuzheng was practicing martial arts with his guards on the large square behind the memorial archway. He had just recovered from a serious injury and was not in a position to fight, so he just gave instructions verbally. When he saw Zhao Wumian and Bai Liuli coming over, he hurriedly led everyone to salute: "Greetings, Sir, Miss."
Zhao Wumian raised his hand: "It is important to recover from the injury."
Xiao Yu's face was filled with gratitude: "The doctor said that without Miss Shen's Fire Cloud Pill, the cold poison would have invaded my internal organs and my skills would have been wasted. This is all because of you, Lord. I have nothing to repay you, so I can only do my best to protect the villa."
Zhao Wumian thought for a moment and took out two secret books from his ring: "I seized these from the bandits before. You can use them to practice. They should be of some use."
After saying that, he walked past everyone and took Bai Liuli to Mirror Lake.
Xiao Yu took it and looked at it. The names of the two books were: "Ba Dao" and "Ba Wang Jia" respectively.
The secret skills of Tiandao Sect, one of the eight major sects, are ranked at the upper level of Xuan level, one for attack and one for defense!
Everyone was filled with excitement and knelt down immediately: "We are willing to die for you, sir!"
evening.
The villa's cook prepared dinner and brought it to the Mirror Lake. The brother and sister were about to eat when suddenly the guard on duty at the door came to report that Miss Shen from Wanjing Villa had brought some soup.
Bai Liuli cheered: "Sister Shen is so nice!"
Zhao Wumian smiled and said, "Please come in. It's really unusual that you're going through the main door today."
In the past few days, he came from the place where the two villages were connected, and especially after I told her about the internal structure, he has been elusive.
soon.
Shen Weiyang, wearing a luxurious red dress and carrying a lunch box, walked to the edge of Mirror Lake and said to the two with a smile, "My lords, try the duck blood vermicelli soup I made and see if it suits your taste."
Bai Liuli took a deep breath and said happily, "It smells so good, Sister Shen's cooking skills are really good!"
Shen Weiyang's face was full of tenderness: "As long as you like it."
Bai Liuli was about to take the soup when Zhao Wumian suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
Shen Weiyang asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"
Bai Liuli quickly withdrew his hand and looked at his brother.
Zhao Wumian glanced at the fan soup and looked at Shen Weiyang in front of him: "Tell me your real name."
"..."
Shen Weiyang was stunned, looking puzzled: "What, what's your real name?"
"Then it seems that you are the one who poisoned me."
Zhao Wumian nodded and said, "I thought Shen Weiyang was deceived, but it turned out to be a disguise. You were the one who secretly spied on me last night, right? You probably didn't expect that I would break through from the eighth level of the second realm to the third realm overnight. I was careless and got closer... There are actually other people who know the "Actor's Treasure Mirror" and have practiced it quite well. It's really rare!"
Shen Weiyang's eyes flashed with panic: "I, I don't know what you are talking about..."
"You'll know right away."
Zhao Wumian opened and closed his eyes, and suddenly released two strange red lights, which followed her eyes and went straight into her heart: "Look at me!"
Just three short words, each one was like a bolt from the blue, deafening!
"Shen Weiyang" trembled all over, thinking that something was wrong, and retreated quickly.
Zhao Wumian sneered. It was too late to run now...
