Chapter 179
Seeing Xiaoyue's intact face, Yi Xiaochuan felt relieved, most of the original guilt disappeared, and then he thought of Princess Yushu in the palace, and said in a heavy tone: "The plague broke out in the palace these few days, and the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless. It is too cruel to suggest that His Majesty set fire to the side hall, and burn all those who are infected or those who may be infected to death. It is too cruel. Enter the palace to save people."
Xiaoyue covered her mouth and exclaimed, looked at Yi Xiaochuan worriedly, and said with a frown: "Master Cui has not shown up these days, does little **** know where he is now?"
Yi Xiaochuan shook his head, and said bitterly: "I went to the restaurant to look for him, but he wasn't there, so I rushed to the restaurant and asked Lao Gao to help him find it."
"This is a matter of life and death, my brother will definitely help."
After listening, Xiaoyue took Yi Xiaochuan's wrist and walked towards Gao Yao.
When Yi Xiaochuan heard the familiar title of 'Old Brother', he glanced at Xiaoyue in surprise, and when he looked up at Gao Yao, he found that he was having a good conversation with Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew. Go to the wing room on the second floor.
The two rushed up the stairs, Xiaoyue bowed to Xiang Yu, then pulled the corner of Gao Yao's clothes, signaling that he had something to say.
Gao Yao smiled apologetically at Xiang Yu, turned his head to look at Xiaoyue, and gave him a puzzled look.
"Brother, Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi has business with you~"
Yi Xiaochuan told Gao Yao about the outbreak of the plague in the palace again, and the smile on Gao Yao's face gradually subsided.
To be honest, he doesn't care about the situation in the palace. Compared with how many people will die in the Palace of Jade Beauty, Gao Yao is more worried about Yi Xiaochuan not finding Dr. Cui, or what will happen if Dr. Cui fails to cure the plague. as a result of.
But things have come to this, and he can't allow him to think so much.
Gao Yao explained the reason to Xiang Yu and nephew Xiang Liang, apologized repeatedly, and asked the staff to get them a table of high-quality wine and food, and then hurriedly left.
The nephew and uncle of the Xiang family are not ignorant people either. Hearing that Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan were in a hurry to find someone to treat their illness, they looked at each other, and Xiang Yu patted his chest and wanted to say help.
Yi Xiaochuan and Gao Yao persuaded them to come down with some kind words, and then took Xiaoyue and Susu to divide into two groups.
Xiang Yu stared at Xiaoyue and Yi Xiaochuan's leaving back from the window, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
Just now when he passed by on the street, he fell in love with this girl named Xiaoyue at first sight. Unfortunately, this girl was obviously closer to Xiaochuan, which made him feel very disappointed.
"You don't have to worry, Yu'er. In my opinion, this girl Xiaoyue and Xiaochuan are just close friends, and there is no relationship between men and women."
What kind of person is Xiang Liang?
Back when Yi Xiaochuan wanted to leave, he planned to ask Xiang Yu to kill Yi Xiaochuan during the duel to avoid future troubles. Now seeing Xiang Yu's distraught appearance, he couldn't help laughing, "The future is long, you still have a good chance."
"A gentleman does not take what others like. Xiao Chuan and I are close friends, and he is also my best friend. Does uncle say this to make me feel sorry for Brother Xiao Chuan?" Xiang Yu turned away with an ugly face, and said displeased : "I, Xiang Yu, will never do such an unjust act."
Xiang Liang opened his mouth and sighed helplessly.
This nephew of his is brave and courageous, emphasizing love and righteousness, but sometimes he is paranoid and stubborn. In order to deter one party and achieve great things, he lacks a bit of the scheming city that a superior person should have.
On this side, Yi Xiaochuan and Xiaoyue spread out the selected buddies and searched the restaurants and restaurants in the city in groups.
And Gao Yao sent Su Su to Liuli Workshop, and told Zhou Ji and Lu Zhi what happened today.
Even though he was quite confident in Lei Fa, who had practiced painstakingly for a hundred years, Zhou Ji still felt tense when he heard that Susu was almost killed. Susu's heart warmed with her gaze, she patted the back of Zhou Ji's hand lightly, and said softly, "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I'm fine."
"How can it be all right? My husband is not here, my sister must bring a guard when she goes out, and she must not go out alone again." Lu Zhi looked at Yan Susu with some distress, and glanced at Gao Yao, and there was a trace of blame in his eyes. mean.
Gao Yao smiled awkwardly.
When Xiaoyue went out in the morning, he wanted to go with him, but was rejected in various ways, so he thought of Susu who lives in Zhou Mansion, so that the two of them could go out together.
Who expected such a thing to happen?
Comforting Susu and Lu Zhi softly, Zhou Ji raised his head to look at Gao Yao, and said seriously: "Is that Mr. Xiang still in the restaurant? Anyway, he was the one who rescued Susu this time. I have to come and thank you in person.”
Seeing that Zhou Ji was not angry because of this, Gao Yao heaved a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and told Zhou Ji that he had arranged a first-class guest room for Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang, and contracted all the expenses for the two of them in the city.
Zhou Ji nodded slightly.
Gao Yao is the big shopkeeper of the first floor under heaven, these are his thanks to the other party for saving Xiaoyue.
This is Gao Yao's thank you gift.
As for Susu, she had to think of another gift.
From daytime to night, seeing that it was almost curfew time, everyone searched almost all of Xianyang but failed to find Cui Wenzi. In desperation, they had to return to the restaurant.
Yi Xiaochuan was very worried about this matter, and was hiding in the courtyard drinking.
Zhou Ji took Lu Zhi and Su Su to visit Xiang Yu and Xiang Liang's uncle and nephew, and expressed his gratitude again.
Knowing that the person in front of me is the "big boss" behind the No. 1 Building in the World, Xiang Liang is much more friendly than Xiang Yu. Zhou Ji has been in the world for many years, and Xiang Yu also has the unique spirit of the world in this era, so he can chat soon Together, we had a good talk.
During the dinner, Zhou Ji secretly observed this "Overlord of Western Chu" in the parallel world, and merged with the image in the play in his memory, he couldn't help nodding his head slightly, with some faint decisions in his heart.
"Old drunkard, you are here~ Several groups of people came to look for you yesterday."
"How can there be several dials? Just one dial~~ one dial." Cui Wenzi was already drunk early in the morning, shaking the gourd and said, propping his arms on the table and going to sleep soundly, "One dial."
Yi Xiaochuan ordered the accompanying staff to go back and tell everyone not to look for it again, then lifted the straw curtain and said anxiously: "Master Cui, where have you been these few days? The fire is burning to the eyebrows!"
Cui Wenzi raised his head slightly, saw Yi Xiaochuan standing at the door, and said with a smile: "Is that you? Where can I go? Of course I went to dispense medicine for you?"
"What medicine will you prescribe for me? I'm not sick?" Yi Xiaochuan thought Cui Wenzi was talking nonsense, stepped forward to shake him awake, and said in a deep voice: "Master Cui, stop making trouble, I really have something to ask you. "
"What's making trouble? You're sick from the beginning, or it's a heart disease!" Cui Wenzi narrowed his eyes and looked at Yi Xiaochuan in front of him, his eyes gradually moved down, and he said, "Your heart disease comes from below. Although the incompleteness cannot be filled, it is not without medicine."
Can't listen to the second half of Cui Wenzi's words at all.
Physical defects have become the most sensitive and fragile taboo in Yi Xiaochuan's heart. Once it is mentioned, there will be a resistance of being humiliated and provoked.
Noticing Cui Wenzi's gaze, Yi Xiaochuan's face became more and more serious, especially when the other party's gaze fell on him, a string of unknown fires arose, burning him to the point of losing all reason, and suddenly pushed Cui Wenzi away , The clenched fist was about to cut through the palm of the hand, bleeding out.
The plague in the palace needs to be healed after all, and Princess Yushu will be in more danger if she stays in the side hall for one more day.
Yi Xiaochuan kept clenching and loosening his fists, and his eyes were also flickering, full of mixed emotions. Finally, he breathed a long and intermittent sigh of relief, hiding the gloom in his eyes, and said coldly: "Master Cui, please stop joking. A plague broke out in the palace recently. Your Majesty invites Miracle Physician Cui to the palace for treatment, and please do not refuse."
Cui Wenzi pretended not to see Yi Xiaochuan's gloom, and shook his head with a light smile, and said with a smile: "I'm not joking, although Mr. Yi is an eunuch, he is different from other eunuchs.
As soon as these words came out, Yi Xiaochuan froze on the spot, looked into Cui Wenzi's eyes blankly, and realized that the other party didn't look like a fake. Desperately leaning forward, Cui Wenzi shrank back subconsciously due to the oncoming oppression, and looked at Yi Xiaochuan's face so close, he didn't even dare to drink wine.
"What the old man said is true." Cui Wenzi said weakly, "Although I don't know what happened when you cleaned your body that day, it seems that the person who cleaned your body lost his hand and failed to cleanse yourself."
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky rang through Yi Xiaochuan's mind.
Except for the occasional nightmares of the experience of that day, he never dared to think about it on weekdays. Even if he just had this thought, he would feel a faint pain from below.
Since he entered the palace, he didn't even dare to look down, for fear that the haze in his heart would explode if he took another look.
Now that Cui Wenzi pointed out the key point, Yi Xiaochuan remembered that before the fat father-in-law was killed by him, it seemed that he only made one knife. It was because of that knife that he "broke free" from the rope, grabbed the knife and inserted it into the opponent's throat.
At this moment, Yi Xiaochuan couldn't care less about other things, so he hurriedly confirmed this matter to Cui Wenzi.
Hearing the crying and laughing from the hut in the backyard, the owner of the restaurant turned pale, his facial features were almost huddled together, his eyes were full of fear and shock.
No way? No way no way? No, no, no, right?
When the old drunkard came out of the hut, the owner of the restaurant was still very grateful.
Seeing the two passing by shiveringly, the owner of the restaurant was about to retract his body into the counter, and subconsciously reached out to take the money handed over by Yi Xiaochuan, and when it fell into the palm of his hand, he suddenly reacted, waiting for the two to leave the restaurant, just now He picked up the rag and wiped his hands vigorously, wishing that even the skin of his hands would be rubbed off.
The haze that had accumulated in Yi Xiaochuan's heart for more than two years dissipated in an instant, and the whole world became more lively before his eyes, and even the colors became much brighter.
The corner of his mouth curled into a twitch that he hadn't seen in a long time, and Yi Xiaochuan asked: "Old Cui, didn't you say that you are helping me dispense medicine these days? Have you prepared it?"
"Old Cui?" Cui Wenzi paused, turned his head to look at Yi Xiaochuan, shook his head, and said, "It's not that easy, we still need the most important main medicine."
"What main medicine? Is it more difficult to get than Ye Mingzhu?" Yi Xiaochuan became a little anxious when he heard it, "As long as you ask, I can find you any kind of medicine."
Cui Wenzi said quietly: "This main medicine has not yet appeared, and we need to wait for a while."
Yi Xiaochuan, who gained a glimmer of hope, has returned to his previous impatient appearance. When he saw the palace gate not far away, he grabbed Cui Wenzi who was about to go forward, scratched his ears and said, "Don't be foolish, what the **** is it? ? It’s almost killing me.”
"Sky Star." Cui Wenzi thought for a moment, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, "Only when the sky star falls and collects the sky star fragments, can I help you prepare the Huiyang pill."
"Then when will it fall?" Yi Xiaochuan asked.
Cui Wenzi shook his head, and walked around Yi Xiaochuan, "It should be fast, but unfortunately it is going to be slow now."
"What is getting faster and slower?"
Yi Xiaochuan thought about Cui Wenzi's words, turned his head to look at the figure who had gone far away, and chased after him helplessly, "In the end, you are still playing tricks."
In the restaurant, after receiving the news that Yi Xiaochuan had found Dr. Cui, Gao Yao and Xiaoyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because I was busy with this matter yesterday, so I couldn't thank Xiang Yu properly, so today Gao Yao specially set up a new banquet to invite Xiang's uncle and nephew.
During the meeting, Xiaoyue was overjoyed when she learned that the uncle and nephew of the Xiang family were descendants of the state of Chu, and quickly reported that she was also a nobleman of the state of Chu.
It's a pity that when I was young at that time, my memory of my relatives had long been blurred, and I couldn't think of memories about my hometown and family at all.
Xiang Yu took the bracelet from Xiaoyue, studied it with his uncle, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, this is indeed an adornment only for the nobles of the Chu State, but which clan they belong to, you still have to go back to Kuaiji to find the Chu State heritage. You have to inquire to find out.”
Looking up at the excited Xiaoyue, Xiang Yu's heart softened, and he clasped his fists and said, "Miss Xiaoyue, don't worry, Xiang will go back and help you find out the whereabouts of your family."
Xiang Liang stroked his beard and weighed the pros and cons in his heart. He took refuge in the eldest son to avoid being wanted and to whitewash his identity.
If they can take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Boss Gao, who is rich and powerful, it will definitely help their Xiang family to revolt in the future!
