Reverse Junhou

Chapter 26 Watching the sea [4]

Wen Xuechao didn't hear Zhao Yancheng's chatter, and his ears were finally cleared.He closed his eyes and rested for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he found that the carriages and horses hadn't set off yet.He rubbed his eyes and found that the seat beside him was empty.

Before Zhao Yancheng could wait for Yang Shuyue to approach, he opened the curtain and got out of the car.Bai Wan stood not far away to count the people and horses, and when he heard the movement, he turned his head and saw His Highness the Fourth Highness falling on all fours.

It turned out that Zhao Yancheng's vision at this time was all in the fog, and he couldn't see clearly. When he got up, he didn't see the wooden plank under the car's feet, and his feet fell into the air.

Yang Shuyue covered her forehead, turned around and walked back.

He doesn't know this person.

Seeing Yang Shuyue turn around, Zhao Yancheng left, ignoring the severe pain from his ankle, and shouted loudly: "Yang Shuyue, stop!"

Yang Shuyue stopped and stood on the spot without looking back.

Zhao Yancheng waved away the plainclothes guard who came to help him, stood up slowly with his knees propped up, and stared at Yang Shuyue's back.The two confronted each other silently for a long while, Yang Shuyue seemed to finally accept her fate, she sighed deeply, and turned around: "Get on the sedan chair, I'll apply the medicine for you."

Wen Xuechao pulled Zhao Yancheng up, and just opened his mouth to ask something, but Zhao Yancheng stopped him with his eyes.Zhao Yancheng pulled Wen Xuechao over, and quickly said something into Wen Xuechao's ear.

"..." After listening, Wen Xuechao was a little speechless, "You really want to do this?"

"That's natural." Zhao Yancheng's face was full of inscrutability, "You tell Bai Wan to do what I say, and this time I will treat it as if I owe you a favor."

Yang Shuyue opened the curtain and walked into the car, just in time to see Zhao Yancheng and Wen Xuechao getting together, the two were whispering, not knowing what they were talking about.

Wen Xuechao smiled at Yang Shuyue, his eyes were full of kindness, and then got out of the car, leaving the two of them alone in the compartment.

He walked up to Bai Wan who was leading the team, and said with a smile: "Master Bai, can you take a step forward and talk."

After hearing what Wen Xuechao said, Bai Wan was dumbfounded: "Fourth Highness... really want to be like this?"

Wen Xuechao patted Bai Wan's shoulder sympathetically.

Yang Shuyue glanced several times in the direction Wen Xuechao was leaving, and stared at Zhao Yancheng suspiciously: "What were you two talking about just now?"

Zhao Yancheng had already been lying straight on the soft couch like a corpse, closing his eyes and waiting for the medicine to be applied.

Yang Shuyue: "..."

Seeing that Zhao Yancheng pretended to be dead and said nothing, he had no choice but to put down the medicine box, rolled up his sleeves, and began to give Zhao Yancheng an injection.Different from before, this time he deliberately avoided physical contact with Zhao Yancheng, he just raised his wrist high, found the right position, and stabbed it directly.

After the needle was done, Yang Shuyue dug out a jar of ointment from the box and threw it on Zhao Yancheng: "For bruises, apply it yourself." After finishing speaking, he ignored Zhao Yancheng and lowered himself Start tidying up the medicine cabinet.

"Both eyes are healed?" Zhao Yancheng asked.

Yang Shuyue closed the medicine box: "Ten days and a half months without hindrance, if you feel blurred after that, just follow the prescription and make it four times a day——"

His voice was interrupted abruptly, Zhao Yancheng did not know when he found a bone whistle, and the sharp whistle pierced the air.

In a blink of an eye, the car suddenly moved.There was a tidy sound of horseshoes ahead, and the driver was pulled by the horses and galloped forward, leaving the rest of the caravan behind.

Yang Shuyue couldn't stand stably for a while, her body tilted and fell on the soft couch.He managed to stabilize his body in the turbulence, raised his eyes and glared at Zhao Yancheng, but saw Zhao Yancheng lying lazily half-lying on the soft couch, his eyes sparkling after recovery.

"This is a good horse, and it can travel thousands of miles a day. It's a pity that the journey is long, so I have to let Doctor Yang accompany me on the next journey." Zhao Yancheng patted the soft couch beside him, motioning Yang Shuyue to sit down.

Yang Shuyue looked at Zhao Yancheng with a deadly gaze, her eyes almost burst into flames.

Bai Wan stared dumbfounded at the carriage of the Fourth Highness driving away, and asked Wen Xuechao who was at the side with a worried face: "Master Wen, let's let the Fourth Highness go first?"

Wen Xuechao had a pleasant face: "Since Master Bai sent a Lin Wei to accompany him, His Highness will be fine this way. We just follow behind and walk slowly."

"……Yes."

"By the way, you send someone to the Qingfeng Medical Center and tell the manager that their owner may be traveling far away and won't be back for a while."

"The lower official sent someone there before, and I heard from the shopkeeper that the owner of the Yang Pavilion had already made arrangements and found a doctor to see him."

Wen Xuechao was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled slowly and said, "Interesting."

Caravan vehicles are built for long journeys and are very roomy inside.In addition to a soft couch that can accommodate two to three people, there is also a small table and two sitting couches.Ever since she was trapped in this fast-moving car, Yang Shuyue hadn't spoken to Zhao Yancheng again.When Zhao Yancheng got out of the sedan chair and rode the horse, he lay down on the soft couch to take a nap, once Zhao Yancheng entered the room, he sat in the corner with his back to Zhao Yancheng, unwilling to pay any attention to him.

Zhao Yancheng was not annoyed either, every day when his subordinates brought food, he would bring it to Yang Shuyue, and when Yang Shuyue was eating, he would just sit aside and watch him quietly.Finally, one day, Yang Shuyue couldn't stand Zhao Yancheng's scrutiny, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and said viciously, "What are you looking at?"

"There is an old folk custom of giving cinnabar to young children to open their minds, but you have a smudge between your eyebrows. No wonder everyone calls you a little miracle doctor." Zhao Yancheng said softly.

Yang Shuyue touched the center of her brow, there was indeed a small black mole there.When he was young, he thought he was disfigured and cried loudly to his father.Physician Yang said, this is a drop of ink from heaven, and there will be noble people to help in the future.

Thinking of this, Yang Shuyue glanced at Zhao Yancheng. This person couldn't carry it on his shoulders or his hands. Apart from his noble status and good skin, he was just a worthless nerd.

Zhao Yancheng noticed Yang Shuyue's disdainful gaze, chuckled lightly, opened the curtain and went out to ride a horse.

After more than ten days, the caravan will enter the border of Duling County.Seeing that Yang Shuyue had no intention of running away, Zhao Yancheng asked Yu Linwei to slow down and wait for Wen Xuechao's chariots to catch up.

Zhao Yancheng's eyes became cloudy again in the past few days, and gradually he couldn't see people clearly.Yang Shuyue took advantage of the gap between acupuncture and moxibustion for Zhao Yancheng, and asked casually: "Fourth young master, the war in the east has broken out again, and the business of pawnshops in recent years may not be easy, right?"

Sure enough, Yang Shuyue felt that Zhao Yancheng's body stiffened obviously.His eyelids trembled, and he said calmly, "It's not easy."

Zhao Yancheng didn't know that Yang Shuyue had already figured out his identity, and he was still playing the pawnbroker's role along the way.The caravan will arrive in Yincheng in a few days, and when they enter the palace, how will Zhao Yancheng continue to perform this long-term drama?

He waits and sees.

Three days later, Wen Xuechao joined Zhao Yansheng's chariot and horses at the border of Duling County.When Wen Xuechao reunited with the two, his attitude towards Zhao Yancheng was the same as usual, and there was a bit more meaning in the eyes of Xiangyang Shuyue.Yang Shuyue ignored Wen Xuechao's subtle attitude towards her, and still treated Zhao Yancheng indifferently, rather indifferently.

Wen Xuechao's trip to the south this time was a private visit in a micro-service, and no one else knew about it except Duling County Guard and General Yandong.Zhao Yancheng could have gone to the fief as the county king, but because he wanted to conceal his identity in front of Yang Shuyue, he simply pretended to be a caravan and went south with Wen Xuechao.

Ren Ji, governor of Duling County, received the decree and knew that the governor's southward trip could not be made public, so he only brought seven or eight county officials with him to meet Xue Chao's team dozens of miles away from the city gate.

He only received the order from the governor to go south, but he didn't know that the King of the East China Sea who was supposed to go to Yincheng also got mixed up in this caravan and came to Duling with the governor.

Ren Ji had been the governor of Duling county for more than ten years, and was an important chess piece that the Wen family placed in the east from the beginning.The Wen family's private contacts with the Wushou clan were all carried out with Ren Ji's acquiescence.Wen Shizhen has promised Ren Ji a lot of benefits in the past few years, helping him to secure the position of sheriff and making a lot of money in the east.The Wen family told Ren Ji to go east, so Ren Ji never dared to go west.

Only Wen Xuechao knew about Ren Ji betraying Wushou and framing Zhao Fengci without telling Wen Shizhen.When he came to Duling as a governor, the first thing he did was to clean up this cancerous tumor that was only driven by the wind.

Ren Ji had been waiting by the official road early, and when he saw the caravan approaching, he nodded and bowed to meet them.The governor of Yandong, appointed by the emperor, is the eldest son of Wenfu, who is Wenji, the minister of internal history of the court.Wen Shizhen is old now, and Wen Yu, as a close minister of the crown prince, will be a person who can cover the sky with only one hand in the future.As soon as Wen Xuechao walked out of the car, he rubbed his hands and took two steps forward, saying respectfully: "My subordinate, Ren Ji, governor of Duling County, is here to welcome Sir Wen into the city."

The sheriff is the fourth rank in the local area, and Wen Xuechao is the third rank Beijing official, so it is natural and appropriate to call down the official.

Wen Xuechao responded lightly, and asked Bai Wan to lift the curtain behind him, revealing two figures in the room.

"My friend is going south to do business, and he's walking along with me. I wonder if we can enter the city together?"

"That's natural. Lord Wen's friends are all my distinguished guests from Du Ling. In the next season, dare to ask the names of the two distinguished guests?"

"Ruitong pawnbroker Liu Si."

"Yang Er of Qingfeng Medical Center."

The two people in the compartment didn't even bother to deal with it.

Seeing that the two of them were unwilling to talk to him, Ren Ji laughed dryly: "The mansion has prepared a small banquet to cleanse the dust for the Lord and all the distinguished guests. Please, Sir."

The gardens in the Duling County Mansion are full of brocades and surrounded by jade fences, which seem to be several times more grand than the small and medium courtyards in Beijing. It seems that Ren Ji has been rich in his own pockets in recent years.Dongjing dishes are sweet and greasy. Wen Xuechao grew up in Guangyang, so he was not used to it, so he put down his chopsticks after a few mouthfuls.On the contrary, Yang Shuyue likes sweets very much, and there are plate after plate of small dishes in front of the table.

Ren Ji didn't have much appetite either, he wanted to find out what Wen Xuechao said, but seeing that Xuechao kept silent, he could only give up.Last month, he followed Mrs. Wu's order and reported the fifth prince's defection to the court. He did not wait for the emperor's order, but waited for the governor sent by the court. How could he not be impatient.

"I don't know if today's dishes suit Mr. Wen's appetite?" Seeing that Xue Chao hardly moved his chopsticks, Ren Ji couldn't help asking.

"Du Ling's dishes are really exquisite," Wen Xuechao sighed, "especially the lotus pod tofu, which is dipped in honey, really has a special flavor. I'm a little curious about how this dish is made. The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it's very easy to roast Broken. Instead, I used this lotus pod to make a fig leaf, even if the inside is rotten, the outside is still golden and jade, which is really wonderful."

Zhao Yancheng was holding a big golden pig's trotter for Yang Shuyue, so he stopped his movements immediately.

"Lianpeng tofu is so delicious?" Yang Shuyue was a little puzzled.

Zhao Yancheng smiled, and put the pig's trotters into Yang Shuyue's bowl: "Wen Xuechao is ashamed of referring to Sang, and scolding Ren Ji in a different way."
