"Old General, he..." Min Qiu said hesitantly, wanting to ask what was going on inside, but he didn't know what to say. Now even if Xue Ziqin lowered his head, he could see the surprise and astonishment on his face.
"I don't know." Xue Ziqin said after a few breaths of time, then he raised his head and stared at the empty sky with no clouds and no sun, as if remembering something, and hurriedly said: "Zhong Yi… Where is Yi? Did Zhong Yi come back with him?" He said, turning to look at Min Qiu, very anxious.
Hearing the words, Min Qiu pondered for a while and said, "... Yes! Outside the city, in the garrison."
"South of the city or north of the city?"
"None of them. At that time, he said that he had an old acquaintance in Xiangcheng, so he stayed with his friend." Min Qiu said, "Zhong Yi has a close relationship with the old general, so he went."
Xue Ziqin eagerly put his hands on Min Qiu's shoulders and asked loudly, "Where is he? Where is his friend?"
"The medical center in... the south of the city, it's called... it's called..." Min Qiu said halfway through, and he couldn't remember the name of the medical center that Zhong Yi mentioned. But Xue Ziqin lost his patience and turned around and left.
"General?!"
"You stay here!" Xue Ziqin strode away without turning his head.
Min Qiu followed and took two steps, stopped again after hearing the words, and could only watch Xue Ziqin's back disappear into the corner. He had followed Xue Ziqin all these years, and from what Xue Ziqin said, he always thought that Xue Ziqin was just trying to "repay his kindness" to Xue Changfeng and had to obey. More often, Xue Ziqin disobeyed the old general's orders. Although he didn't cause any major trouble, he could see that he was dissatisfied.
But now, seeing him so anxiously going to find Zhong Yi, his previous guesses seemed to have gone wrong. Maybe Xue Ziqin, no matter what happened, would treat this foster father as a family member, but he couldn't see it on weekdays.
He looked back at Xue Changfeng's closed door again. He was used to seeing life and death. Now that people are still there, there is always too much sadness in his heart.
Not to mention that Min Qiu, who had little contact with Xue Changfeng, thought so, even Xue Ziqin himself thought so at first. For so many years, when talking about his relatives and family, he would think of Director Song, and only Director Song treated him as lovingly as his own son.
At that time, he felt that if he could stand out in the future, he would definitely perform filial piety for this person who was not his biological father but was better than his biological father. It's a pity that things didn't go according to people's wishes. When Director Song died, he was only eight years old, and he couldn't do anything. He even thought he was going to die of famine.
Then Xue Changfeng rescued him. Although he saved his life, he was miserable in the barracks. It was not until he made a name for himself that he became the Xue Ziqin he is today.
Xue Ziqin thought that he was just reluctantly calling Xue Changfeng his father because of his life-saving grace that day.
Today, when Xue Changfeng is suddenly in danger, he realizes that maybe his relationship with Xue Changfeng is not as indifferent as he imagined.
Xue Ziqin frowned, hurried to the stable, led the horse, and headed towards the gate of the General's Mansion. Cen Liyun was outside anxiously arranging the big and small matters in the mansion - Xue Changfeng is probably not going to do it now, Fu Yang is taking care of it, the affairs of the mansion should be presided over by the general's wife, especially Xue Changfeng's funeral, she also has to prepare.
She was talking to her servant when Xue Ziqin pulled the reins and hurried out, just passing by her. Cen Liyun called her subconsciously: "General!"
But Xue Ziqin didn't seem to hear, and his footsteps didn't stop for half a minute. She followed and took a few steps forward, only to see Xue Ziqin fly out of the house, get on his horse, and leave without any hesitation.
There was some pain in his heart, and Cen Liyun shook his head to himself, just as Xue Ziqin was so anxious that he could not help ignoring her without thinking too much.
There are only two major medical centers in the south of the city. Since I don’t know which one is, I just ask them one by one. He rode his horse fast, startling many passers-by, and he didn't ask any questions. When he arrived at the first hospital, Xue Ziqin dismounted and re-entered the inside, slapped his palm on the counter and shouted, "Zhong Yi! Zhong Yi! Come out for me!"
The shopkeeper of the medical center looked at his arrogance, and his eyes widened in fright. He thought that his own medical center had caused some trouble, and said shiveringly: "Master... Young Master... You... ?"
Xue Ziqin stretched out his hand and grabbed the front of the other's shirt, pulling half of his body out of the counter and said, "Call Zhong Yi out to me!"
"Young master... I don't know what Zhong Yi is..."
As soon as the shopkeeper's voice fell, his clothes were loosened, and the fierce young man had already left the hospital. He stuck his head out, and looked out of the door in shock, but in the blink of an eye, the person was gone. The shopkeeper shivered and sighed: "What kind of person is this..."
With this momentum, Xue Ziqin went to the second medical center and followed the same steps, but still did not find any trace of Zhong Yi. He let go of the boy and stood in front of the counter
The doctor of the second hospital looked at him so anxiously, and did not care about his previous rudeness, but asked tentatively, "Is this young master in a hurry?"
Xue Ziqin came back to his senses, looked up at the doctor and said, "Does the doctor know someone named Zhong Yi?"
"You asked about this just now, the villain has never heard of it."
"Then is there a hospital nearby?"
"In addition to our hospital in the medical center in the south of the city, there is only the Furong Medical Center on East Street."
"Anymore?"
"And..." The doctor frowned and pondered, then said, "There is another very small one. You go to the first fork of East Street and turn right. There is a very small medical center called Yuanlu Medical Center. "
"Thank you, farewell." After Xue Ziqin made a hasty bow, he left as quickly as he came.
He walked over according to what the doctor said, raised his head and kept looking at the signs along the way, but he didn't see the so-called Yuanlu Medical Center. In desperation, he walked back and forth in that street twice, and had to dismount and catch a passerby and said, "Do you know Yuanlu Medical Center?"
The passerby looked at him so lost
The appearance of the ceremony is very impatient. But Xue Ziqin was tall and big, and he didn't want to answer. He was afraid that something might happen, so he pointed at him: "Isn't it right there?"
Xue Ziqin followed his hand and looked at the signboard of the Yuanlu Medical Center. No wonder he hadn't seen this signboard several times before. The signboards of other houses were hung under the eaves. Only his signboard seemed to be placed at random, leaning against the door.
Xue Ziqin rushed in before he could thank him, and then shouted, "Zhong Yi! Zhong Yi!"
Before the people inside could react to what was going on, he had already seen an old acquaintance sitting on a chair drinking tea, next to an old man with white hair and long beard.
Zhong Yi suddenly heard someone calling his name, and subconsciously replied, "Where is the bunny yelling?"
"Zhong Yi! Follow me! Hurry up!" After Xue Ziqin finished speaking, he walked two steps in three steps. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhong Yi, and then he hugged him recklessly and tucked him under his arm.
"What are you doing, Xiao Xue?! Let me down!" Zhong Yi shouted, "What are you taking me for?!"
Xue Ziqin said as he walked towards the horses outside, "The old man is critically ill."
"Wait, wait!" After Zhong Yi heard the words, he struggled even more, "Medicine box! Medicine box!"
No way, Xue Ziqin had to put him down.
Zhong Yi turned around and went inside again. The long-bearded old man smiled, as if he was not shocked by Xue Ziqin's movement at all, but said lightly, "Visit the doctor?"
"Yeah, come back to Master for tea after the diagnosis."
"it is good."
"Then Yan Sheng entrusted the master to take care of him." Zhong Yi said, and had already walked out, "He's going to find his friends to play with, and he should come over before dark."
"Be careful on the road." The elder nodded at him.
Maybe it was because of Zhong Yi's appearance, although he was faintly worried, he was not as chaotic as Xue Ziqin. He watched Zhong Yi hold things so neatly, but he slowly said goodbye to the old man, and he suddenly calmed down a lot.
Look at the signboard of the Yuanlu Medical Center, and look at the place where the palm of your hand is big - if the old man is Zhong Yi's master, he may be very skilled in medicine. The so-called big hidden in the city, about that is what it means. Ordinary people will definitely be discouraged after seeing the dilapidated appearance of this medical hall, and will not come in to seek medical consultation.
"Let's go." Zhong Yi said, "What happened to Lao Xue?"
"I don't know..." Xue Ziqin stretched out his hand and wrapped Zhong Yi's waist again, and led him onto the horse. Before Zhong Yi could sit firmly behind him, Xue Ziqin's whip was already on the horse's butt, and he galloped towards the general's mansion as if he was about to fly out.
After Xue Ziqin returned to the general's mansion sweating profusely, he dragged Zhong Yi to Xue Changfeng's bedroom. The two had just walked to the door when a doctor came out with a medicine box on his back and bumped into Xue Ziqin.
Xue Ziqin hurriedly asked, "How is the general?"
The doctor looked at his eager eyes, lowered his head a little unbearably, then shook it gently, sighed and said, "It's the old man who is incompetent..."
Seeing Xue Ziqin so anxious at the beginning of the period, Zhong Yi didn't realize how critical the situation was. Seeing this doctor's attitude now, he felt that things might be more serious than he imagined. He reached out and pushed the person away from the door, snorted "quack doctor" coldly, and walked into the bedroom.
Fu Yang burst into tears beside him, holding Xue Changfeng's hand. After Zhong Yi passed, he took Fu Yang's place and skillfully picked up Xue Changfeng's wrist and began to feel the pulse. While taking his pulse, he looked at Xue Changfeng's face.
The famous general who used to be invincible on the battlefield and made the enemy feel terrified at the moment, his face is white and blue, his lips are black and purple, and it is obviously a sign of poisoning. When I checked his pulse again, the pulse was strange, and it would be interrupted for a moment from time to time, which was extremely strange.
Zhong Yi opened the medicine box, took out a needle of the thickness of an embroidery needle, and quickly pricked each of his ten fingers, and said at the same time, "General, you..."
The pierced finger clearly should have blood overflowing, but at this time, the blood that overflowed there could not drip.
Xue Changfeng said solemnly, "Forget it."
"What's the matter?!" Zhong Yi said, "Who poisoned you?"
Fu Yang, who was beside him, looked at the scene in front of him, perhaps in front of outsiders, and did not dare to show his emotions so much. She sniffed, wiped the tears from her face indiscriminately, and said in a hoarse voice: "Three years ago, when I entered the general's mansion to assassinate, the poison of the general was still unknown."
"How could it be?" Zhong Yi wondered, "Impossible, I've seen it at the time, it's just an ordinary poison. After taking the medicine after letting go of blood, it will be fine after half a year of cultivation."
Xue Changfeng coughed twice, and now he even coughed, and his internal organs were burning with pain. After finally regaining his temper, he said, "I underestimated Shang Xu."
Zhong Yi heard the words and probed him again. This poison is strange, not like the toxins that can be produced in Xuan Kingdom. If I want to say, it is more inclined to the poison of snakes and insects. The poison is so strange that Zhong Yi can't help frowning.
"The doctor doesn't need to be watching, I know what poison it is." Fu Yang said, "I have seen similar poisons when I traveled. Presumably the person who assassinated the person who was assassinated that day had two kinds of poisons. Once this poison enters the bloodline, It's impossible to find out until the attack."
"That… "
"This poison has no solution." Fu Yang said.
Hearing this sentence, Xue Ziqin's face became more and more difficult, and he growled: "Since Shang Xu is dead, I will ask his whole family to be buried with him." After saying this, he turned around and left, as if he was about to go to the former Minister of the Left. The government killed a lot of people.
"Qin'er!"
Xue Changfeng shouted, and then began to cough again.
"Foster father..." Even if Xue Changfeng usually said something, he could not listen, but now he couldn't. Hearing Xue Changfeng's extremely uncomfortable coughing, Xue Ziqin hurriedly turned his head, stepped to the edge of the couch, and called to him in a deep voice.
