Chapter 169 Do not imitate
At the same time, on the border of Qin State, hundreds of miles away to the northwest of the Great Wall.
In the Tuan tribe located in the wild and barren land, a man dressed in Tuan costumes, but his appearance was not similar to the others, ran to the haystack like crazy, shouting, "Come~! Come!"
The surrounding Tu’an people didn’t know what to do, and looked at the more and more slave workers with some novelty, with a little disdain in their eyes, as if they were watching a monkey show.
"Why are you arguing?" Behind the haystack, Liu Bang pulled the withered grass and leaves on his head, sat up on the turf, looked at the slave workers around him, and frowned, "Why are you all surrounding me? General Jin is watching us closely, aren't you afraid that he will take the opportunity to come and arrest people?"
"Hey, how can he have the time to watch us right now?" One of the slave workers said happily, "Did you forget the pavilion chief? A few days ago, the tribe gonged and posted a notice, saying that the chief of the Tu'an clan wanted Princess Yushu Send it to Xianyang to marry His Majesty."
Liu Bang froze his hair, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Is someone from the imperial court here?"
"I heard that the team was led by General Meng Tian himself, and it has already entered the big tent." The slave worker nodded repeatedly, "Patriarch Tu'an called General Jin to the big tent early this morning. That's right."
"Great, great~! Then can we go home?" Another slave worker in the crowd said happily.
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became noisy.
Liu Bang looked around calmly, and saw some people looked happy, some were blank, and some people were flinching. He frowned slightly, got up and climbed up the haystack, motioned for one person to watch the wind from a distance, and waved for everyone to be quiet.
"Brothers! Listen to me, brothers."
Liu Bang showed bitterness, and said with compassion, "I know that the brothers present here are all conscripts sent to build the Great Wall in northern Xinjiang. They were robbed by the Tu'an tribe before, and they were lucky to save their lives."
"Living is not easy. I know some people don't want to leave, but have you ever thought about it? Staying here, we are slaves, we can only beg for mercy every day, and life and death are in the hands of others." Liu Bang said with tears in his eyes. He said, "Would you like to see your children born as slaves, treated as pigs and dogs by these barbarians?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.
"What's more, everyone can see General Jin's hostility towards us. In the past, Princess Yushu was watching over him, and he would find excuses to kill us. If Princess Yushu married Xianyang and stayed in Tu'anyan Is it fate?"
Liu Bang waved his arms, and everyone echoed. Seeing the momentum, he was relieved, led the people back into Qin country clothes, and hid near the tribe's entrance and exit, waiting for Meng Tian to pick up his relatives and return to Qin.
On the other side, although Yi Xiaochuan from Xianyang has made up his mind to climb up, he has never had any suitable opportunities.
Although it is possible to climb up to Hu Hai through various new dishes, Hu Hai at this time is only a prince after all, and has no foundation in the palace. If he really wants to climb to a high position, he still has to try to get close to the imperial power.
In desperation, Yi Xiaochuan had no choice but to stay in the Household Registration Hall to wait for the opportunity while opening up the relationship in various places.
If he had studied hard back then, he could have made any globes, flintlock guns, etc., and offered them as treasures to Yingzheng, but what map of the world does he remember? Even if it is a map of China, he may not be able to draw it completely.
As for gunpowder, he remembers mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal, but as for the specific ratio, he can only experiment slowly.
Xiaoyue noticed that the little father-in-law had been frowning all this time, as if he was worried about something, so she often took time to chat with him to relieve boredom.
On this day, after finishing work in the weaving and embroidery workshop, Xiaoyue rushed to the household registration hall and said mysteriously: "Did you know that there is a tribe in northern Xinjiang called Tu'an who wants to present beauties to His Majesty, that is their Where is the princess next to her~~ It is said that she is very beautiful."
"At most she is the daughter of the patriarch, where is the princess?" Yi Xiaochuan fiddled with a simple scale and said casually, "At best she is a village girl."
"Village girl?" Xiaoyue chuckled, cast a blank look at Yi Xiaochuan and said, "How can you say that about her?"
The two chatted and laughed for a while, Xiaoyue noticed the stone toon medicine grinder on the table, and found that Yi Xiaochuan was tinkering with something mysteriously, so she pestered him for help.
Yi Xiaochuan was so entangled that he couldn't help it, so he handed the small stone hammer and stone toon to Xiaoyue, asking her to help crush the charcoal, and he used a simple small balance to adjust the ratio of sulfur and saltpeter.
Xiaoyue hugged Shi Chun, smashed it and asked curiously, "Little eunuch, what are you busy with? These things don't look like they can be used as medicine?"
"Hey~ Then you are wrong, this is really medicine." Yi Xiaochuan carefully adjusted the amount of sulfur, and suddenly reacted, raised his head and gave Xiaoyue a white look, "Didn't you say that? Don't call me little eunuch~"
"Yes, yes, yes, I want to call you Mr. Yi, right?" Xiaoyue couldn't help laughing, "You haven't told me yet? What kind of medicine is this?"
"This thing is called gunpowder." Yi Xiaochuan took off the prepared sulfur and saltpeter, and crushed the large pieces of sulfur and saltpeter with a medicine grinder brought by the Imperial Medical Office.
"Next, you just need to mix these things together and mash them into powder." Yi Xiaochuan poured the crushed two things into the stone toon with a proud face, reached out to take back the stone toon from Xiaoyue, and said with a smile, "It's still me bring it on."
Xiaoyue propped her chin and watched Yi Xiaochuan pound gunpowder there one after another. The clear and crisp impact sound had a certain rhythm, like a ditty, which made people feel inexplicably at ease.
Suddenly, a vague smell lingered on the tip of Xiaoyue's nose. Xiaoyue sniffed subconsciously, and found that the smell came from the stone toon, so she took a curious probe.
There was only a loud noise, accompanied by jets of smoke and flames erupting from the stone toon in Yi Xiaochuan's hand, Xiaoyue closed her eyes tightly and screamed.
There was a burning tingling sensation between the forehead and cheeks, and the whole person fell to the ground, clutching his forehead as if stunned.
Equally frightened was Yi Xiaochuan himself.
"What's going on here? I just smashed it twice, why did it explode?"
Looking at the exploded stone toon and the messy desktop, Yi Xiaochuan's mind went blank, and before he had time to think about it, he was awakened by Xiaoyue's painful cry.
"Xiaoyue, you are fine."
Yi Xiaochuan bent down to help Xiaoyue up, and before he finished speaking, he saw that Xiaoyue's forehead and cheeks were dripping with blood from the gunpowder burn.
Xiaoyue seemed to have realized something, she reached out to touch the wound on her face, but Yi Xiaochuan stretched out her hand and held it down.
"Little eunuch, what's wrong with me? What happened just now? Why can't I seem to open my eyes, and my face hurts, it really hurts." Xiaoyue's trembling voice was full of fear and anxiety .
Hearing the weeping tone, Yi Xiaochuan's heart suddenly twitched, and the emotions of annoyance and regret were constantly surging, and his distressed heart was almost broken.
"It's okay~ I'll take you to the Imperial Medical Office right now, the group of people in the Imperial Medical Office must have something to do." Yi Xiaochuan picked up Xiaoyue and ran towards the door, Xiaoyue leaned against Yi Xiaochuan in despair In her arms, tears welled up from the corners of her closed eyes.
Even if money can turn ghosts, but hearing Yi Xiaochuan asked them to treat the injured court lady to the extent that no scars are left, no matter how much money they have, they can't move them.
Or. It's not that it can't be pushed, but it can't be done.
Xiaoyue didn't speak the whole time, she just held the corners of her skirt tightly with her hands, and when she heard the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Office gave her a "death sentence", Xiaoyue's nails sank deep into her flesh, and the dark red blood seeped into the corners of her skirt. There was a dark red blood spot on the dress.
'Quack doctor! quack! '
Yi Xiaochuan wanted to yell and curse, seeing the blood oozing from Xiaoyue's hands, but he couldn't utter a single word.
At this moment, a person suddenly flashed in Yi Xiaochuan's mind, and the complicated expression flashed in his eyes.
From the first time I saw Zhou Ji, this person gave people a particularly mysterious feeling, whether it was a way of time travel that was different from him and Gao Yao, or a 'martial arts' that was incompatible with any era.
Yi Xiaochuan doesn’t dislike Zhou Ji, but he doesn’t like it very much either.
In short, they are not the same people, nor can they go together.
If it was not a last resort, Yi Xiaochuan would never want to ask Zhou Ji, but the matter has come to this point, and he can only go to the doctor in a hurry.
Holding Xiaoyue up again, Yi Xiaochuan said in a deep voice: "It's okay, it's okay, Xiaoyue, don't worry. I know someone outside the palace, he must have a way!"
Xiaoyue didn't seem to hear Yi Xiaochuan's voice, and let him hug her like a piece of dead wood, a dead person, feeling the burning pain on her cheek, full of despair.
Both the Zhou mansion and the restaurant are located in the east of the city. After leaving the imperial palace and walking along the avenue, you can go through the market to reach the residential area. Gao Yao had just sent Mr. Li Sili out of the door. open!"
Gao Yao heard the sound familiar, turned around subconsciously, and saw Yi Xiaochuan running towards here in a hurry with a woman in his arms.
Gao Yao saw that the woman's face was covered with gauze, he was a little puzzled, thought Yi Xiaochuan was looking for him, and hurriedly went to meet him, only to find that the surface of the gauze was covered with blood, and under the gauze, there was It was two **** burn marks.
"Where is Lao Zhou? Where is Lao Zhou??" Yi Xiaochuan asked quickly when he saw that Gao was coming.
"I don't know. He may be at the shop in the west of the city, or he may be at home." Gao Yao glanced at the woman in Yi Xiaochuan's arms from time to time. I've seen this woman. "Who is this?"
Yi Xiaochuan has no time to waste time here, he weighed Xiaoyue in his arms, held on to his almost broken arm, and ran forward around Gaoyao, "It doesn't matter, go to his house first and ask."
"Wait! Wait!" Gao Yao stopped Yi Xiaochuan again, looked at his impatient eyes, and asked, "Are you looking for him to heal this girl?"
Yi Xiaochuan nodded and said impatiently, "Old Gao, let's talk later if you have something to say. If you have time, help me go to the west of the city to find Xia Zhou Ji."
"No, don't worry."
At any rate, we have known each other for a year or two. Gao Yao has never heard of Zhou Ji's medical skills. Seeing Yi Xiaochuan rushing to the doctor, he quickly explained, "If you want to treat this girl, I will I happen to know a miracle doctor, and he is in the shop right now."
Gao Yao pointed out while speaking, "Go this way."
Yi Xiaochuan glanced at the direction of Zhou Mansion, then at Gao Yao who was leading the way, hesitated, followed Gao Yao into the restaurant, and found the genius doctor Gao Yao was talking about in a corner of the lobby.
"Miraculous Doctor Cui? Miracle Doctor Cui wake up, Miracle Doctor Cui." Gao Yao pushed away the scattered wine bottles on the table, reached out and grabbed the gourd in Cui Wenzi's arms, intending to take it away.
Cui Wenzi, who was very drunk, woke up suddenly, hugged the gourd and did not let go, glanced to the left and right, and waved Shinto, "Boss Gao, morning~"
"How early is it! Miracle doctor Cui is here to help."
"Help. Save whose life? Aren't you dead yet? Neither is he dead, nor is she dead."
Gao wanted to pull Cui Wenzi up, Cui Wenzi looked at Yi Xiaochuan with drunken eyes, slowly moved down, paused slightly on Xiaoyue's face, then moved down, stopped at a certain part of Yi Xiaochuan, put away eyes, muttered. "No need to save~ I'm not dead, no need to save."
"Forget it, let's go find Lao Zhou."
Yi Xiaochuan turned around and was about to go out when he suddenly heard Cui Wenzi laughing, "Tricking and abducting. He's good at it, and I'm good at treating injuries."
Yi Xiaochuan kept walking, but Cui Wenzi stood up unsteadily, showing a strange expression, "I can not only heal her wounds, but also yours."
‘Liar, what can I do? '
Yi Xiaochuan walked to the door, and suddenly stopped in his footsteps. Recalling the strange look Cui Wenzi looked at him just now, he immediately turned around and said in a deep voice, "You can really cure it?"
"Your, or hers?" Cui Wenzi took back the gourd and said with a sip.
"The two of us." Yi Xiaochuan said without hesitation.
Cui Wenzi laughed loudly, and waved his hand, "Boss Gao, prepare a guest room and make it clean."
Gao Yao led the three of them to the backyard. When Yi Xiaochuan put Xiaoyue on the bed, his arms were sore and numb. He ran from the palace to the restaurant, but he couldn't even lift it now.
Gao Yao looked away from the veil on the woman's face, looked at Yi Xiaochuan's trembling arms, and asked with concern: "Xiaochuan, are your arms okay?"
Yi Xiaochuan shook his head, looked at Gao Yao with a complicated expression, and said in a deep voice, "Old Gao, I'm sorry."
sorry? Why say sorry? Gao Yao didn't know why, so he looked at Yi Xiaochuan in surprise, Yi Xiaochuan's lips were tightened, and when he was about to say something, he heard an uncontrollable cry of pain coming from the woman's mouth.
This voice!
Gao Yao suddenly turned around, only to see a face that made him feel so distressed that he could suffocate, appearing in front of him under the veil covered with blood and flesh.
"Gao Lan!"
