Chapter 149 Master Hongde
Seeing that Guard Zhou had left, the King of Yan asked:
"Didn't the master say that the prince would die in the next two days? Why is there no movement yet?"
"I just heard that the owner of Yichun Hall once gave the prince a pill that can bring the dead back to life. I never thought that there is such a strange man in Da Qi who can make a life-extending medicine. The King of Yan should recruit this man as soon as possible."
"So the prince's poison has been cured!" Prince Yan sat up straight, his voice changing a little.
"Ha! Ha! Ha! Lao Na's unique Tongsheng Gu, without the flower of feeding and the unique method, even the Great Luo Immortal can't cure it. The Shendan Pill can only let the prince live two more days. King Yan, don't worry, the prince has been exhausted and will die within two days. It's just that this Western Red Sect..."
"Don't worry, once the crown prince dies, as long as I successfully seize the throne, I will definitely make you the leader of the Red Sect in the Western Regions, making the Red Sect the only church in the Western Regions."
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Yan, for your kindness."
"Hahaha!……"
"Hahaha!……"
King Yan and Hong De looked at each other for a moment, both raised their heads and laughed. Suddenly, Hong De stopped laughing, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant. After a long time, Hong De murmured:
"How is this possible? How is this possible?!"
"Master, what's wrong?"
"The male Gu in my body is dead. Could it be that the prince's Gu has been cured?"
After hearing this, the King of Yan's hand holding the teacup trembled, and the tea splashed out of the cup. King Yan took the opportunity to pour the tea out, suppressed the uneasiness that flashed in his heart, and asked:
"The male Gu in the master's body suddenly died. Could it be that the prince is dead?"
The master shook his head and said calmly:
"This Gu is called Tongsheng Gu because the male and female Gu live and die together. The one planted in the prince's body is the female Gu. Even if the prince dies, it will survive in his body for at least 3 days. I have enough time to draw out the male Gu in his body without hurting my body. Now the male Gu suddenly died without any signs. It must be that the female Gu in the prince's body is dead."
"Didn't the master say that this was your unique Tongsheng Gu?"
"Although there are people in the Western Regions who feed Tongsheng Gu, I feed it with a rare three-color flower and a unique method. I found that three-color flower by chance when I traveled all over the Western Regions. Not to mention that ordinary people don't know about this flower, even if they know it, they can't find it without a chance encounter. Moreover, even if they find this flower, they can't draw out the female Gu in the prince's body without knowing my unique method. I am also wondering, who in Da Qi can solve this Tongsheng Gu?"
"According to what the master said, the prince will not die this time?"
"I'm afraid the prince has escaped this disaster. Your Highness, have you noticed that some strange people from the martial arts world have entered the prince's mansion in the past two days?"
After hearing what Hong De said, the King of Yan's face immediately turned pale. After a long while, he sighed and said:
"My men closely monitor the Prince's Mansion every day. Yesterday, a carriage left the Mansion and went to the other courtyard. No suspicious people were found in the carriage. No strangers entered or left the Prince's Mansion. The owner of Yichun Hall was not found either. Could it be that the Prince really had an adventure this time?"
"Who could that be? I spent a year's hard work, but I didn't expect it to fail today. If I don't see this person, I won't be able to live in shame."
"Master, do you have any other methods?"
"The mother poison in the prince's body has died. It will only take time for the prince to recover. If the poison is put in again, not to mention that it will take time, I'm afraid the prince will be on guard. Your Highness the Prince of Yan should make other plans as soon as possible. I'll take my leave first."
After Master Hong De finished speaking, he stood up and walked out with staggering steps without waiting for King Yan to speak.
King Yan looked at Hong De's back, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his clenched fists made a crackling sound.
…
Mengxi and Zhiqiu came to the room arranged by Xiaozongzi, changed their clothes, and took a nap, but they still couldn't sleep well and woke up after half an hour. They asked Zhiqiu to check, and he came back to say that Shangguan was still not awake. Xiaozongzi sent someone to bring lunch, and Mengxi and Zhiqiu had a quick bite.
Waiting is a very exhausting thing. With nothing to do, Mengxi and Zhiqiu left the house and came to the backyard. Shangguan's servants all knew that this young man was an honored guest and the savior of their master, so they dared not neglect him and led her to the backyard respectfully.
As Mengxi and his companions entered the backyard, they were greeted by the aroma of sweet osmanthus. There was a small corner door in the backyard, and outside the door was a garden. Looking up, they saw that the garden of just one other courtyard was extremely beautifully decorated, with pavilions and waterside pavilions in the distance, and the swaying sweet osmanthus trees by the pond swayed in the wind, and the fragrance wafted through the courtyard.
The two walked along the bluestone path in front of them towards the waterside pavilion. Perhaps because the master was critically ill, the servants were lazy about cleaning, and the ground along the way was withered and yellow. The deeper they went, the more desolate and lonely it was. It was really like the autumn wind rising, the white clouds flying, the yellowing of the grass and trees, and the wild geese flying south.
There was a small pavilion at the end of the waterside pavilion. The two walked in. There was a stone table and four . There was a guqin on the table. It seemed that Shangguan often played the guqin here in his spare time. Sitting in front of the guqin with dignity, Mengxi gently stroked the guqin.
Bored, Mengxi casually played the song "Piaomiao Limeng Qu" that she often practiced. She found this song by chance in a book and asked Zhiqiu to play it. Zhiqiu liked it very much, so she changed to practice this song. After several months of practice, she has played it fluently.
The song ended, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time. She closed her eyes and carefully experienced the feeling of being away from the world. Suddenly, she felt strangely quiet around her. Mengxi opened her eyes and looked back. She saw Shangguan holding Xiao Zongzi, leaning against the entrance of the pavilion, looking at her softly, with a smile on his pale face. Seeing this, Mengxi slowly stood up and called out:
"Big Brother"
"This piece of music should only exist in heaven. Second brother's piano playing skills are not very good, but he can play such a beautiful piece of music. To me, it sounds like a fairy dancing under the hazy moon. It seems real and illusory, hazy and ethereal, which makes people feel as if they are in the world and out of the world. It can be seen that second brother's knowledge of rhythm is not achieved with his hands, but with his heart. He is truly a god. I have studied rhythm for many years, but I am not as attentive and emotional as second brother. I feel ashamed."
When Mengxi heard this, her face flushed.
Han: That's fine. As for the guqin, she was a newcomer, but was rated 100 points by a master. She felt ashamed for a while.
He quickly said:
"Brother, I've told you before that this piece of music was not composed by me. I just stumbled upon it from a book. I like it and often practice it."
Shangguan listened to her words and remembered that his "Swordsman" and "Nian Nujiao" were also unheard of. He also thought of his miraculous medicine and had long believed that he was a miraculous man. He believed that this was his second brother's humble words and asked with a smile:
"What book is this? I have never heard of it before."
Mengxi didn't want to dwell on this matter, so she changed the subject and said:
"Brother, you just woke up, why are you coming out? It's cold in autumn, be careful not to catch a cold."
"I've been in a coma for more than ten days. It's great to be able to wake up. I heard that my second brother was playing the piano in the backyard, so I came here to listen. Come and sit with me, second brother."
Xiao Zongzi had helped Shangguan sit on the stone bench, shook the crane cloak in his hand, put it on Shangguan and tied it up. Mengxi also sat down in the original position.
