Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

——Zheng Mansion

A strange figure approached the wall and approached a courtyard guarded by soldiers.

There are quite a lot of people here. It seems that Zheng Huan still has some consciousness and values ​​his life very much.

But in the end, man proposes, God disposes, and his fate had long been calculated by the civil servants in the court.

A gust of wind blew down the remaining leaves that were just clinging to the edge of the flower bed, as if someone had just brushed past it.

His figure was so fast that it could not be seen with the naked eye.

"Ache, did something just pass by?" This speed doesn't seem like that of a human at all, it seems like that of some small animal.

"What's there? I think you've lost your mind. The general's courtyard is almost surrounded by iron barrels. How could anything get into the inner courtyard? Do you really think all his personal soldiers are vegetarians?"

"Yeah, I was just too tired and my eyes were blurry."

"You knew you were on duty at night, but why didn't you rest well during the day? If the general finds out, you'll be punished."

The person being talked about didn't dare to talk back, but he made up his mind that if he was on duty at night in the future, he would definitely get a good rest during the day.

inside the room.

Although there were no footsteps or breathing, Zheng Huan was still alert.

There must be another person in the room. Zheng Huan never lets anyone into his room. The guards always shout at him outside the door. If anyone approaches, they will be taken away immediately.

Relying on this intuition, he avoided many assassination attempts on the battlefield.

Zheng Huan, who seemed to be sleeping soundly, quietly reached out and touched the short blade under the quilt.

A hand suddenly pressed down on his hand. "Is this how General Zheng treats guests?"

Zheng Huan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him, still marveling at the man's great strength.

He had marched and fought in battles, but he had never seen anyone with such great strength.

Jingzhuyuan is heavily guarded, even on the roof there are people guarding it, and the shift changing times are different every day. How did this person get in?

Could he be a member of the Jianghu? These top-tier masters usually hate to interact with the imperial court, so how could they possibly come to murder him?!

Could it be that he was hired by those people in the capital to kill him?

If the other party has such ability, why should he obey their orders? If he obeyed, wouldn't it be better to kill him directly?

Isn't this just a waste of time?

Chen Xuyan chuckled under the mask, "General, there's no need to overthink it. I'm here to save your life."

He gestured for Zheng Huan to sit up.

Zheng Huan, wearing pajamas, walked over barefoot

Chen Xuyan poured himself a cup of tea, as if he was the owner of the room.

"sit."

Zheng Huan sat opposite him, puzzled.

"What on earth did you mean by that?"

Chen Xuyan said seriously, "I heard that General Zheng has invited many famous doctors to treat his illness, especially those who are good at detoxification."

"It's just that you invited the famous doctor under the guise of your mother, saying that he was treating your mother."

"That's true." Since this person entered and exited Jingzhu Courtyard as if it were no one's home, he was not surprised to know this.

Zheng Huan was just a little curious about what his purpose was and who sent him.

"General Zheng, there is no need to think so much. I am actually here to save you. You are not infected by poison, but by a parasite, so ordinary antidotes are naturally of no use to you." Chen Xuyan talked to himself again and pulled up his hand.

A black line had spread along his left wrist towards his internal organs.

How could it spread so quickly in such a short time?

"You should have vomited blood more than ten times. This poisonous insect is very unusual. The elixirs you took will only fuel its growth. The bigger it grows, the more pain you will have to endure. It seems that this person really hates you." This person was the prime minister of the current dynasty and also his old rival.

"Do you have a way to save me?" Zheng Huan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard about the poisonous insect. Isn't this something that the alien race is good at using? These people can even get the poisonous insect. No wonder they are not afraid of him searching for a famous doctor everywhere.

I'm afraid she's hiding in some dark corner, mocking his stupidity.

Zheng Huan looked at Chen Xuyan with a pleading look.

His life is not important at all, but the world cannot be destroyed in the hands of people like them.

The lives of ordinary people cannot be trampled upon by them in vain! As for the current Houyun City, we can no longer wait.

If anything happens to him, the spies hiding in Zheng's mansion will definitely be unable to sit still. His current physical condition is no longer able to deal with these people.

He didn't know whether the person in front of him had the ability to save him.

Chen Xuyan smiled and said, "Of course I have a way, otherwise I wouldn't come to you, right?"

Although Zheng Huan was old, his eyes were still as clear as ever. Although he didn't know the origins of this young man and what he would ask of him after saving him, it didn't matter now.

"What do you want me to do for you?"

"Let me be frank. If I still had some strength a few years ago, I would have helped you with anything you wanted. But now I am a fallen phoenix, worse than a chicken. My life is the most valuable thing to me, and they are trying every possible way to kill me." His wife and children are no longer alive, having been murdered.

He secretly gave away his only youngest child for adoption.

Sooner or later, he will have to return his life to the Zhou Dynasty.

Chen Xuyan put down the teacup with a bitter face. After all, he was the boss of Houyun City, but he actually drank such low-quality tea.

"After I save you, I may not look for you for a long time, but when I find you, you must help me do something." Chen Xuyan took out another cup and poured a glass of water from the pot next to him.

Zheng Huan opened his mouth to say something.

Chen Xuyan raised his hand and said, "You are not qualified to make any demands. You must do everything I say, otherwise, forget it."

He was just saying something like not violating principles, but Chen Xuyan was not negotiating with him. If he wanted to live, he had to promise him one thing.

The new dynasty is bound to overthrow the old one, and it cannot be changed by one or two loyal ministers or a group of self-righteous people.

Zheng Huan will see the truth sooner or later, whether he admits it or not.

"Okay." If I don't survive, then everything I say will be in vain. As for the rest, I'll just take it one step at a time.

"Lie down on the table and hold out your left hand."

......

Chen Xuyan put away the surgical instruments with sweat all over his forehead.

Zheng Huan was startled by the giant insect wriggling under his feet. "How can such a large insect move inside my body?"

No wonder he died young.

It's unheard of that even so many doctors didn't notice it.

He had been in the army for many years and had indeed seen some soldiers die of illness, with small bugs crawling out of their bodies after death, but it was hard not to be surprised by such a big one.

"Of course, it will continue to devour your flesh and blood until you die. At first, you'll just feel weak and listless, but gradually you'll start vomiting blood. You won't be able to take in ordinary food, but you can take in all kinds of rare medicinal herbs.

In a few days, you won't even be able to eat any rare medicinal herbs. The parasites will begin to feed on your flesh and blood until you are emaciated and die suddenly. He felt a little tired after the operation. It took him a full three hours to drive the parasite to the right position and remove it whole.

"What the hell is this?" Zheng Huan had never heard of such a way of death.

It seemed these people were determined to kill him.

"It's called a flesh-eating insect, also known as a man-eating insect. The only way to keep it alive is to let it live in human flesh and blood. Once a person dies, it must be immediately replaced with a new host." Its vitality is also very tenacious, and few people know how to deal with it.

Zheng Huan's expression was filled with disgust. "Who on earth could have raised such a harmful creature? I'm going to kill them sooner or later!"

Chen Xuyan nodded and said, "You will have this opportunity."

The murderer was the concubine of the prime minister's son, who was born into a different race.

There was quite a bit of noise in the room, but he opened the protective shield, so the elite soldiers outside could not detect anything unusual inside.

Although Zheng Huan felt a little weak, he did feel much more relaxed. He squatted on the ground and carefully examined the long worm, which looked like a black flesh worm.

"How do I kill this bug? With fire or salt?" He cut the bug a few times with a knife, and the bug was broken into pieces but was still moving.

It's a bit like an earthworm, both ends can survive, and this thing can also survive in several parts.

Why did he feel that by chopping the insect into several pieces, he was actually fulfilling the insect's wish?

"It needs to be exposed to the scorching sun for three months, then stored in a jar and sealed at night. Remember not to let it touch water during these three months, otherwise it will survive." Chen Xuyan sprinkled a handful of unknown powder on it, and the worm began to struggle violently and slowly shrank until it turned into several small red worms.

Zheng Huan remembered his words carefully.

"If it falls into the well and reproduces, won't it harm the people who accidentally drink the water?" This is what he is most worried about.

Fortunately, the old man didn't do that.

"Of course." But this bug is not completely impossible to defend against.

"You can still tell its size with the naked eye. Even after breeding, it's still quite large. The only worry is that people drinking the water won't take the insects seriously, thinking they're harmless and drinking it directly."

Having said that, Zheng Huan finally knew how he got tricked.

He slammed the table and broke it, "He was the one who betrayed me!"

Zheng Huan has always been on guard. Even if he is extremely hungry, he will wait for the doctor to check whether the food is poisonous. Not to mention other aspects, he almost never asks others for help. The one who helps him clean his room is the old soldier who has followed him for decades.

Unexpectedly, he was actually harmed by the deputy general he promoted.

That day on the training ground, he drank the bowl of mung bean soup handed to him by the other party without any hesitation!

Now that I think about it, the reason it was mung bean soup was because they were afraid I would discover the flesh-eating poison inside?!

Chen Xuyan raised an eyebrow. "Just for your information, that's all. Also, I'd like to remind you that a large number of refugees will be brought to Houyun City tomorrow afternoon."

"Someone told them that the people of Houyun City not only had enough food and clothing, but every household had surplus food. This has been turned into a song."

Zheng Huan was about to ask who did it, but when he looked up, he found that there was no one in the room.

He opened the door in surprise.

"What about people?"

The two elite soldiers at the door were at a loss, "What's wrong, General?"

"Didn't you hear any noise just now?" He smashed the table with quite a loud noise just now, so they didn't hear anything at all?

The two shook their heads in confusion, "Still like usual, no sound?"

"Did you find something wrong?"

Zheng Huan shook his head without saying anything and closed the door again.

The guards looked at each other, confused.

Zheng Huan ran back to the couch and leaned against it, "Could it be that there really are gods in this world?"

"Why would he help me?"

He stayed up all night.

......

——Qingshan Academy

Wei Siqi rarely stayed in the academy, and his family had a carriage to pick him up and drop him off every day.

"I feel like the teacher doesn't treat everyone equally. Look, there are some people in Class A who don't even have any academic achievements, but because of their good family backgrounds, the teacher still looks up to them. We in Class B all have academic achievements, especially you. You've always been good at studying, yet you live in such a poor environment."

"You even spent money." Master Chen Xuyan seemed to be not annoying to the farmer's son, but in fact, he had never considered his family background at all.

If Chen Xuyan hadn't been diligent and earned some money by copying books and writing letters, coupled with his family's frugal lifestyle, he would definitely not have been able to afford to go to school. In fact, they also offered to sponsor his studies, but Chen Xuyan refused.

Chen Xuyan nonchalantly sorted through his suitcases, "Don't say things like that outside. People's hearts are hidden, and not everyone can keep a secret for you."

Wei Siqi curled his lips and said, "Of course I know, you will definitely not tell anyone else! Besides, I might leave Houyun City tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so it doesn't matter if they talk nonsense." Maybe there will never be a chance to meet again.

His father said that this time he would move out of Houyun City completely and never come back.

Chen Xuyan glanced at him helplessly, "You and Hu Shizhi are exactly the same. You both think highly of me."

"The three of us have the best relationship, so of course we won't look down on you."

"Would you like some chicken legs and some snacks?" Wei Siqi enthusiastically placed the food on the table and casually moved the book to the bedside.

The world is about to fall into chaos, and he will definitely not be an official in the Zhou Dynasty.

I'd better wait until I have the opportunity in the future and study seriously.

As soon as he opened the paper package, he looked at Chen Xuyan, "Do you want to leave with my family? You can also bring your family with you. My father likes you very much and will definitely agree!"

If we really break up, when will we meet again?

Hu Shizhi has already left. This guy is so cruel that he didn't even tell him where he was going. He doesn't even have an address to send letters to. It is likely that they will never see each other again.

"No need. We have too many family members and we will probably stay in Houyun City forever." Chen Xuyan rejected his kindness.

Wei Siqi could only sigh helplessly, "Okay then, I'll write to you when the time comes."

"Anyway, you must store up plenty of food. I'm afraid they'll attack Houyun City."

"The most pitiful ones are the common people."
