Antidote
Duan Baiyue frowned slightly. Before that, he didn't know there was such a thing.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the man waved his hand impatiently: "I won't talk to you little brat, go and find your father."
Duan Baiyue cleared her throat and said, "My father has been dead for many years."
It was quiet all around.
The man was shocked, but he opened his mouth, but did not make a sound for a long time.
Duan Baiyue asked again: "Senior was poisoned?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that man's body softened and he fainted.
There was no other way, Duan Baiyue had to take people out of the forbidden area first, put them in the guest room of the Southwest Palace, and invite a doctor to treat them.
Duan Yao was lying at the door, showing half of her head.
"Come in." Duan Baiyue said.
Duan Yao felt extremely guilty: "I really hurt him?" It shouldn't be, it's just a slap, don't you say that this person is very evil
"All right, what are you doing there?" Duan Baiyue had a headache.
"I didn't mean to rush." Duan Yao said honestly, "I saw a seven-step green in the back mountain, so I chased after it, and I didn't notice that it was already in the forbidden area. He suddenly rushed out later, indiscriminately. When I was about to make a move, I blocked my palm in a hurry, and then ran away." After that, he added, "I didn't hit very hard."
"Forget it, be careful in the future." Duan Baiyue said, "Go back and rest."
"Is he okay?" Duan Yao glanced into the bedroom.
Duan Baiyue said: "The doctor said that it was a rush to attack the heart."
"Just because I slapped him?" Duan Yao couldn't believe it.
Duan Baiyue shook his head, in fact, even he didn't understand what was going on.
"Why is that?" Duan Yao asked deeply.
Duan Baiyue roughly said the conversation in the forest just now.
"This can also make you faint." Duan Yao diverged his thoughts, "Could it be that this person has a crush on his father?"
Duan Baiyue patted his head fiercely.
"My lord!" Aunt Jin just happened to come in with the soup medicine, and complained after seeing it, "How many times have I said it, don't hit the little prince, and you can't hit the head if you want to."
Duan Baiyue calmly withdraws her hand.
"Auntie, do you know this person?" Duan Yao reached out and pointed into the room.
"I don't know, but I know." Aunt Jin said, "He was originally a martial arts master in the Central Plains, his name was Tu Bujie, he had nothing to do with the Southwest Palace, but one day he killed the four sides and broke in, saying that he wanted to make three The princess took it away and shouted that she wanted to compete with the prince."
At that time, the third princess was pregnant, and Duan Jingchong was too late to hold it in the palm of his hand, but this time he met such a lunatic, and naturally he would not have a good attitude. There are worms.
Tu Bujie couldn't bear the humiliation, and the Liangzi between the two naturally became established. After that, every three years, he would come to the door to provoke him. Although he was beaten away every time, he never gave up. Even if the third princess came out to comfort her with the little prince Duan Yue, she could not persuade him. Later, when Duan Jingshen contracted a serious disease, he knew that he would die soon, so when he last came to the door to compete, he knocked him out and locked him in the forbidden area in the back mountain. Tu Bujie was also imprisoned for more than ten years.
"It's weird." Aunt Jin said, "Hou Shan has neither a cage nor an iron chain. It stands to reason that even a small child can leave easily, but he stayed for thousands of days. I don't know why."
What else could be the reason.
Duan Baiyue and Duan Yao thought at the same time.
Must have been duped.
"Someone!" Tu Bujie shouted from the room.
Duan Baiyue got up and walked in.
"Your father is really dead?" Tu Bujie got out of bed.
Duan Baiyue nodded.
It's true that no one would joke about this kind of thing, so Tu Bujie clasped his fists: "Thank you, nephew, to detoxify for the next time."
Duan Baiyue smiled calmly: "...Senior, don't be polite."
"If that's the case, then I'll leave." Tu Bujie said, "I don't know where the little man is? I want to say goodbye to her."
Zhao Xiaoxiao is Duan Jing's third concubine. She was originally a singer in the southwest. It was because of this that Tu Bujie thought of her as a confidante.
Duan Baiyue said: "The third aunt died a few years ago."
Tu Bujie was shocked when he heard the words, and his eyes were very sad: "What about Xiaoyu?"
"It was said that I wanted to go out and explore the rivers and lakes. Now I should be in the middle of Shu." Duan Baiyue said, "It's also my brother who didn't take good care of him."
Tu Bujie let out a long sigh, raised his legs and wanted to walk out, but stopped: "I don't know what kind of poison I was in before, why do I have to stay under that red tear tree to save my life?"
Duan Baiyue said calmly, "Seven-leaf Begonia."
Tu Bujie nodded, then without looking back, he strode out of the palace.
It wasn't until his back disappeared that Duan Yao asked, "Is he really poisoned?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Naturally not." But at the moment, if you don't make up one, I'm afraid this person will go to the Duan family's ancestral grave. After all, it is not shameful for people in the world to be beaten and imprisoned for more than ten years. It is shameful that they were deceived for more than ten years without any reason.
"It's true, the old man." Aunt Jin was also helpless. Before her death, she only said that she would deliver meals to the back mountain on time, so that the rest of the people were fine not to provoke him, but there was no other will. If it wasn't for the little prince to catch the snake by mistake, I don't know how long this unfortunate martial artist will be imprisoned.
"How mysterious it is for me to be a forbidden place." Duan Yao rubbed her nose, but it turned out that it was for this reason.
Duan Baiyue was not surprised at all.
According to his father's way of doing things, this is already considered merciful, and it is estimated that the other party was able to save his life because of the three aunts who dealt with it.
However, no one took this matter to heart. After all, this Tu Bujie was not familiar to everyone, so he left as soon as he left, and he could save three meals a day.
"Your Highness! Your Highness!" the servant shouted and ran in this afternoon, "Master Nan has emerged from the grave again! This time he is very clean!"
…
Duan Baiyue rubbed her temples in the study, came back from Qionghua Valley
"Master!" Duan Yao also jumped off the roof.
Nan Moxie took him in his arms: "You raised the fat worm in the tank in front of you?"
"Well." Duan Yao was triumphant.
"Not bad." Nan Moxie patted his head.
"Master." Duan Baiyue stood at the door of the study, "Why didn't you send a letter back in advance." I wanted to leave early.
"Master has something to tell you." Nan Moxie entered the study.
Duan Yao also wanted to follow, but was blocked by Shengsheng.
…
Duan Baiyue patted his head, turned around and followed in.
Duan Yao was indignant and squatted in the yard to play with worms.
Why!
"What's the matter with Master?" Duan Baiyue poured a cup of tea for him.
"In a few days, the Gu worms in your body will wake up." Nan Mo said evilly, "If Chensha has not been found today, if you want to survive this calamity safely, you'd better be able to retreat with your teacher."
"Master's words are serious." Duan Baiyue shook his head, "Just a few Gu worms."
"I raised the worm, and what the consequences will be, of course I know better than you!" Nan Mo evilly said, "In short, this matter is not negotiable."
"Thanks to the rumors spread secretly by Master, everyone in the Central Plains martial arts is now saying that Yao'er has practiced the Bodhi Heart Sutra." Duan Baiyue reminded coolly, "This month alone, more than a dozen people have come to the Southwest Palace to join him. Getting married. If you and I are in retreat here, I am afraid that not only will Yao'er be taken away, but maybe even a son will already be there."
Nan Moye: "..."
"Teacher has his own measure, so don't worry about master." Duan Baiyue said.
Nan Moxie did not intend to compromise, and left the house overnight.
Although Duan Baiyue didn't know what he was going to do, he had some ominous premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Nan Moxie ran back by himself, and he also brought someone along the way—Gu Yunchuan, the head of the Ranyue Building in the Gefang of Wangcheng.
"Brother Gu?" Duan Baiyue wondered, "Why are you here?"
"I want to go back to Jiangnan and come to the southwest to buy a batch of medicinal herbs. I originally planned to visit King Duan again the day after tomorrow." Gu Yunchuan said, "Who knew that I happened to meet Master Nan on the street this morning, and I couldn't help but pull me over. "
"Yao'er." Nan Moxie called out.
"Master." Duan Yao jumped and ran over with a fat worm in his hand, "Are you going to buy something on the street and come back early?"
Nan Moxie raised his hands and fell, knocking him out with a neat palm.
Gu Yunchuan: "..."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
So naive, but also willing
"You need to take care of Shaoxia." Nan Moxie put the person in his arms. "Someone wants to trouble Yao'er recently. Please take it back to Wangcheng for a while, and someone will come to pick him up in three or five months."
Gu Yunchuan wanted to withdraw his hand very much: "I just said that I want to go back to Jiangnan."
"Then take it to Furong Garden." Nan Moxie didn't choose, "It's fine, it's fine."
Gu Yunchuan turned to Duan Baiyue for help.
Duan Baiyue rubbed his temples and sighed: "Brother Lao Gu."
Gu Yunchuan felt that he was at a loss.
Who doesn't know that the little prince of the Southwest Palace is fierce, good in kung fu, and loves to poison people.
Originally, I just wanted to buy some spices to take home, but I didn't expect to cause such trouble.
But the matter had come to this point, and it was too late to regret it, so he had to sigh and take the unconscious Duan Yao on the road together, heading for Chiba City. I just want to find a chance to throw people to Sun Moon Villa, and I want to be clean.
As soon as Duan Yao left, the Southwest Palace became even quieter. Duan Baiyue would go to the stone room to meditate every morning, waiting for when the Gu worms in her body would wake up, and then go to the tomb to retreat.
After another half a month, the fire-like rosy rosy blossoms bloomed all over the mountains and plains in the southwest. The petals were taken off and used to make wine. Even the wine was red, and the aftertaste was long in the mouth.
Dozens of fast horses worked tirelessly all the way day and night, and sent a large cart to the king's city, which was called tribute.
Chu Yuan was used to being diligent, thrifty and self-disciplined, and he hardly drank a drop of alcohol on weekdays. Therefore, most of the dozen or so jars of Feixia were given to the ministers, leaving only one jar in the palace.
This is the wine sent by the King of Southwest... All the ministers were uneasy, no matter what they thought, they felt that they would definitely be poisoned. Chu Yuan didn't care, he drank a cup by himself, and there was warmth on his cheeks.
"The emperor likes this wine?" Father Sixi added another glass for him.
"It's a little light." Chu Yuan said, "but the aftertaste is sweet, which is different from the Feixia sent last year."
"No, the person who brought it said that this year's dozen or so jars of wine were brewed by the King of Southwest China." Sixi said, "Naturally, it's different from the ones bought outside."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Um
So half an hour later, a large number of the Imperial Forest Army was sent out of the palace, and the wine jars that had been sent to the residences of the adults were brought back to Huan Huo.
Luckily, I haven't drunk it yet... The ministers are very fortunate, it is indeed poisonous.
Probably because of drinking, Chu Yuan rarely got a good night's sleep that night, and when he went to the morning the next day, his mood was much better.
Liu Dajiong, who was standing in the front, thought to himself, seeing the emperor with a majestic face on weekdays, he laughed occasionally, but he was really handsome and good-looking.
I really want to talk to the media.
Day by day, time passes slowly or slowly, but also fast, in a blink of an eye, from summer to autumn, and in a blink of an eye, the mountains are already dyed with red maples.
"Winter is coming soon." Duan Baiyue said in the Southwest Palace, "The days have passed, and I think that this year the Gu worm will not wake up again, so Master doesn't have to work hard to clean up my inner strength."
"There are still four months." Nan Moxie shook his head. "Before the new year, don't take it lightly, let alone leave home for half a step."
"But if Yao'er is not brought back, Brother Gu's belongings should be demolished by him." Duan Baiyue reminded.
"You are a dignified prince, and you are afraid that you can't afford a brothel?" Nan Moxie stared.
Duan Baiyue was speechless.
Fortunately, the guard just came to report at this time, saying that there was a letter from the palace.
Nan Mo's evil eyes had a special meaning.
Duan Baiyue turned around and left, just asking not to be held back, and to teach some... how to have sex with men.
These masters really want to be buried in the grave again.
There were only a few secret letters, but Duan Baiyue frowned slightly after reading it.
"My lord." Duan Nian brought the soup and entered the door, "Aunt Jin has just cooked it, and told the lord to eat some snacks to support his stomach before taking the medicine."
"Thank you." Duan Baiyue picked up a piece of cake, "Come in with Lu Feng."
Duan Nian probed: "General Lu?"
"Otherwise?" Duan Baiyue smiled, "Why, you have to ask this?"
"My subordinates don't dare." Duan Nian said, "It's just that both Master Nan and Aunt Jin have said that for the remaining few months, it is best for the prince to not do anything." .
"Go." Duan Baiyue shook his head, "I want to meet someone during a cup of tea."
"Yes!" Duan Nian clasped his fists and strode out of the study.
Duan Baiyue leaned on the back of the chair and looked outside thoughtfully, but there was a smile in his eyes.
At the same time, on the official road, a carriage was bathed in starlight. Father Sixi poured a cup of tea and presented it with both hands, "Your Majesty."
"How many more days to go?" Chu Yuan returned to his senses.
"Back to the emperor, in about thirty days, we will be able to arrive at Huantian Village." Si Xi said fair, "Then Miss Li's competition will be on the twenty-eighth of the next month, and the time is just right."
Chu Yuan nodded and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
This time, he secretly left the king's city, and only said that the dragon's body was not healthy. He went to Cheng'an Villa to rest for a while, and temporarily let the Taifu represent the affairs of the DPRK, but the ultimate goal was the southwest, or Mobei.
Frankly speaking, Duan Baiyue's suggestion is indeed feasible. First pretend to let the Chu army and the southwest army conflict, and when the Mobei ministries think that the two sides have already started a war and can't help but want to take advantage of the opportunity to get a share of the pie, and then catch them all by surprise, they can be justifiably beheaded and expelled, forever. No aftermath.
Three days ago, Shen Qianfan had already received a secret order to ride horses from the northwest and head all the way to Huantian Village in the southwest.
Recruiting relatives in order to...
"Competition to recruit relatives?" Nan Moxie took the secret letter from Duan Baiyue, read it hastily, and then said, "No!"
"Why not?" Duan Baiyue said.
"Why do you want to do it?" Nan Moxie's eyes widened, "Is this battle good for you?"
Duan Baiyue said: "Yes."
Nan Moxie's nose was crooked: "What's the benefit?"
Duan Baiyue said: "I'm in a good mood."
Nan Moye: "..."
Duan Baiyue continued: "After this battle, Emperor Chu gave me the whole southwest."
Nan Moxie wanted to take off his shoes and pat him on the head.
"In short, this trip to Huantian Village, I have to go." Duan Baiyue said, "Even if Master wants to stop it, I'm afraid it will be useless."
Nan Moxie circled the room with his hands behind his back, then stopped and said, "Aren't you afraid of the gu poison attack?"
Duan Baiyue replied: "With Master here, naturally I'm not afraid."
Nan Moxie sat on the ground: "I won't go, and I won't leave the Southwest Palace!"
Duan Baiyue regretted: "Then the king will only die in a foreign country."
Nan Moxie's eyes darkened.
Duan Baiyue said: "Please also ask Master to take good care of Yao'er."
Nan Moxie felt that if he died again this time, it must not be because of the Bodhicitta Heart Sutra, but because of his anger.
A dignified prince from the Southwest Mansion, going to a martial arts contest to recruit relatives
Even if it's just an excuse, it's really shameful to spread it out, and it's estimated that the old prince can be exhaled from the grave.
However, Duan Baiyue didn't take it seriously. After a month, he took five cronies and went to Huantian Village.
Nan Moxie was so angry that he packed a small burden and followed him.
If it is placed in the Central Plains martial arts, Huantian Village is naturally not a sect. But if it is in the southwest, it can be regarded as a certain scale, and Li Tieshou has always been generous, so many people from all corners of the world came to join in the fun, and it was very lively for a while.
The young lady who recruited relatives by martial arts was named Du Zheng, a singer who was redeemed from the Qinhuai River in Huantian Village many years ago. It is said that her appearance is very elegant and refined. Usually rich households redeem themselves to be concubines, but Li Tieshou took it home and adopted his adopted daughter, which was also rumored at the time.
As a beauty, there are naturally many people who like it. Before this competition began, there were already all kinds of rumors spreading. From the chivalrous warriors in the Jianghu to the wealthy households in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, almost everyone had a relationship with Du Zheng. What's more, it was said that the general of the dynasty, Shen Shen Qianfan and Duan Baiyue, the king of the southwest, also admired Du Zheng, and even came to compete to recruit relatives.
When the others heard it, they were also taken aback. Although it is not uncommon to recruit relatives in martial arts, it is just people in the world to join in the fun.
"Let's just say that Miss Li's family is not ordinary!" Under the old tree on the street, the villagers were beaming and spitting, "Qinhuai's number one beauty, where can a lady from an ordinary family compare? Tsk."
The people also gathered around on both sides, and if the King of Southwest and General Shen were to come, then Du Zheng would not be able to fall into the hands of others. It just depends on who of the two is lucky and can finally hold the beauty back.
There is a house not far from Huantian Village. The owner's family name is Zhou. It is clearly a rice grain business, but secretly it is the eyeliner sent by the imperial court here.
During this trip, Chu Yuan lived in the Zhou Mansion.
Duan Baiyue sat on the second floor of a restaurant in the city, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, looking at the two big red lanterns at the gate of Zhoufu from a distance.
"Since you're here, if you don't look for it, can you still see people alive with your eyes?" Nan Mo said sourly.
Duan Baiyue smiled: "If he wants to see me, he will send someone to invite him."
Do you still want to invite people? Nan Moxie sighed sadly, for this skill, don't even think about marrying a daughter-in-law in the second half of his life, it's good to be a bachelor.
"Let's go." Duan Baiyue said, "Go back to the inn."
Nan Moxie thought that when he returned to the Southwest House this time, he would definitely find Zhang Carpenter in the city to get a golden plaque of "Love Saint" to hang in the central hall.
In Zhou Mansion, Chu Yuan was in a good mood these few days, because Ye Jin was also in Huantian Village, and even came to have a meal together - although he still hummed and looked unfamiliar, he knew that his temperament was like this. , Chu Yuan didn't care about it, and he was harmonious and happy.
"I'm too weak, and I've been staying up all night?" This afternoon, Ye Jin grabbed his wrist and tried the pulse, "Wait, I'll go to the street and get you some medicine to eat."
Chu Yuan nodded, watched him leave the house, and then turned back to the bedroom.
But someone was waiting at the table.
…
"Stay safe." Duan Baiyue put down the teacup in his hand.
"If I remember correctly, the date we agreed to meet is not today." Chu Yuan's tone was calm.
"If you have nothing to do, you can't come and have a look?" Duan Baiyue smiled, "What's more, if it wasn't for Emperor Chu, I'm afraid that this king would not be interested in the next life."
"It's just a play." Chu Yuan sat at the table.
"Although it's just a play, but if it turns out to be a real thing, what should I do?" Duan Baiyue's voice was very soft, and she leaned closer.
Chu Yuan slapped the man away and said coldly, "Then I will congratulate the King of Southwest China."
Duan Baiyue shook his head with a smile: "It's just funny nonsense, how can I marry someone else."
"There are many people in the city, if it's all right, please go back." Chu Yuan staggered his gaze, "After three days, Qianfan will lose to you, but if you really beat him seriously, I will definitely I won't forgive you!"
The room was silent and silent, and after a long time, Duan Baiyue smiled: "Okay."
Chu Yuan didn't speak either.
Duan Baiyue got up, and the moment she pushed the door out, she felt a little pain in her heart.
It's not that it didn't hurt before, but this time... it doesn't seem to be very good.
Duan Baiyue smiled bitterly and returned to the inn alone.
"How?" Nan Moxie's eyes were bright, "Can the medicine given to you by your teacher come in handy?"
"Throw it away." Duan Baiyue replied.
Nan Moxie was heartbroken: "What did you say?" That was bought at a high price, three points more expensive than gold.
"Spring boudoir can't be used, but other medicines may be useful." Duan Baiyue sat at the table with cold sweat on her forehead, "At least before the martial arts competition, let these Gu insects go dormant."
