sin of nature

After dinner, the few people left the mansion and took a walk on Yinan Street.

The street was bustling, with vendors pushing hot snacks and hawking along the street, many people surrounded the stalls selling all kinds of lanterns, and many children in front of the vendors selling masks grabbed their parents' clothes and refused to leave.

Jin Buhuan asked curiously, "Master Mingshui, how is the elixir made? It seems that none of the medicinal materials I found for you can deal with this strange disease?"

After hearing this, Huan Li couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Ming said calmly, "There is no one who is dealing with this disease, but the hair of Meng Huai can drive away ordinary evil spirits and suppress evil spirits. Usually, I just wear it in my purse for patients, but this strange disease It is really dangerous, the hair is in the human body, and it will not be digested by people, so it can work better from the inside out."

Jin Buhuan was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

Huan Li added, "I was the one who grinded the medicine coat, Mr. Huan Shui now understands why this medicine must not be chewed."

........

........

After a while, Jin Buhuan let out a real retch from the inside out.

A few people walked along the street for an unknown amount of time, and there were all kinds of novelties.

Jin Buhuan dragged Huang Li to play the puppet game, Xiao Ming had just drank a lot of wine during the banquet, and his head was dizzy, so he found a gazebo to sit down, not with them, let them come back after finishing look for him.

The gazebo is located at the intersection of the two streets, separated from the bustling lights by a certain distance, and the inside of the pavilion is somewhat unclear.

It was August, and there happened to be two sweet-scented osmanthus trees beside the gazebo. Although they could not be seen clearly, the striking fragrance seemed to penetrate into other people's senses because of the indistinct reason. Xiao Ming took a deep breath. , showing a faint smile in the darkness.

He was dizzy thinking of the snow-white white-haired dog that General Li mentioned just now, as if he was talking to himself, or like drunken nonsense, "I have... I know such a..."

Xiao Ming lay down on the bench in the pavilion, and when he raised his eyes, he could just see the half-circle moon.

After staring at it for a long time, I felt that the moonlight was too bright, so I raised my hand to cover my eyes, and fell asleep like this.

I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, the originally sharp senses became dull, Xiao Ming didn't realize that there was a person sitting in the gazebo all the time.

The man saw Xiao Ming coming in, and he didn't say a word until he lay down and fell asleep, as quiet as if he didn't even breathe.

He quietly looked at the sleeping man in the dimness, his eyes seemed to be looking at the moon beyond that day.

After a long while, he got up and walked to the lying man, scrutinized his face by the moonlight, and then sat down beside him softly, with those transparent eyes still staring at his face for a moment. .

The sleeping person seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, turned over on the bench, moved his head, and just pressed it on the sleeve of the person sitting next to him, unconsciously sniffing like a small animal. After sniffing, he closed his eyes again in satisfaction.

The man sitting still remained motionless, the moonlight quietly fell on his drooping eyelashes and piled up on the corners of his eyes, if it weren't for the slightly trembling fingertips he stretched out, no one seemed to be able to understand his mood.

Jin Buhuan's voice came from not far away, "Master Mingshui! Master Mingshui! Let's go!"

No one responded in the pavilion, Jin Buhuan took a few steps up the steps, only to find that Xiao Ming was sleeping soundly on the bench, with a scattered osmanthus flower pillowed under his head.

The next day, what Xiao Ming was worried about really happened.

The servants who thought they could relax here were busy again early in the morning.

Xiao Ming followed Vice General Zhang to check everyone's situation one by one. The strange illness stopped for one night, and then reappeared unabated.

Xiao Ming frowned and said, "This kind of symptom should be caused by someone's sorcery. According to what General Li said last night, the caster must be the boy who summoned the white-maned dog. Most of these kinds of sorcery have a certain time limit. , it can also be lifted by itself. But the time limit is completely determined by the caster at that time, and it is not known when it will end."

Lieutenant Zhang's brows were even frowned into a small knot, "Is there another way to solve it?"

Xiao Ming seemed to think over and over again, and said, "The caster can solve it naturally, and killing the caster can also solve it."

"Other than that, is there any other way?"

Xiao Ming nodded.

There was a hesitant look on the lieutenant general's face, which suddenly turned into anger and then into helplessness.

That Feishuang City is extremely dangerous, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost there in the past, although the twenty or so people were able to return alive, but it is still a situation that life would be worse than death.At this moment, even if you go with a full army, you may not be able to retreat completely. Do you really have to wait until the year of the monkey, when the disease will naturally disappear?Who knows how long the time limit set by the caster is?If it is one month, three months, or half a year, there is still a rest day, but what about ten years or twenty years?Before that, will the soldiers last until that day?

Xiao Ming looked at his expression, and said, "There is still room for this matter. According to what General Li said last night, the young man who performed the spell may not be extremely vicious. If Vice General Zhang really wants to solve this matter, he can enter with Xiao and others." In Feishuang City, find the young man and settle the matter clearly."

Deputy General Zhang hesitated and said: "Zhang is very grateful for the genius doctor's ability to do this, but that Feishuang is really dangerous. Zhang himself can't be saved, even if he dies, it's not a pity at all, but if the genius doctor is involved, Wouldn't it harm thousands of people who are waiting for the divine doctor to heal them?"

Xiao Ming's eyes were firm, "The lives of tens of thousands of people are fate, isn't that the life of more than 20 soldiers? It is more to fight the less, if you are willing, why not? If it fails, Vice General Zhang will have to trust me once."

Deputy General Zhang was taken aback, looking at the genius doctor in front of him who seemed to be almost ten years younger than him, feeling inexplicably reassured.

After a long while, he leaned back with difficulty, bowed to Xiao Ming, and did not raise his head for a long time, "Anyway... Zhang thanked the divine doctor first... If there is anyone who can help... At this place, Zhang Mou will not hesitate to die."

In this way, the matter of entering Feishuang has been roughly settled.Xiao Ming discussed with Deputy General Zhang, and they don't need too many people to go, just a few of them plus two attendants.

At night, the old housekeeper of the Seventh Prince's Mansion held a large banquet in the mansion, saying that it was the Seventh Prince's intention to see several people off.

Vice General Zhang asked, "Where is Your Highness now?"

The old housekeeper said, "It seems that something happened in the south of the city. His Highness rushed over. Before leaving, he asked the old servant to take care of the few. I don't know if there is time to see them off."

"His Royal Highness is busy with affairs, it is a great favor to accommodate all the soldiers, there is no need to worry about it..." As he was speaking, he seemed to think of something suddenly, with a strange expression on his face, asking the old housekeeper to take a moment to speak.

A few people didn't see anyone, they ate and drank on their own at the table.

But I always feel...the atmosphere is really weird...

Xiao Ming was a little at a loss by the strange atmosphere conveyed by the people around him.

He looked up and drank a glass of wine, and saw the maid next to him staring straight at him with a look of regret, and then looked at the others, it seemed that everyone was staring at them with this look.

?

Xiao Ming asked the people next to him strangely, "Lord Huan Shui, what happened today, these maids and servants seem to be a little strange."

Jin Buhuan glanced at the people serving them, frowned and said, "Is there any? I just think today's dishes are very rich and delicious."

Tuo Li drank a bowl of soup unhurriedly, and said in a low voice, "My lord doesn't understand this? They all think that our trip must be to die."

The other two were taken aback.

After a long while, Jin Buhuan raised his head slowly, with something stuffed in his mouth, his cheeks puffed up, resembling some kind of small animal, he swallowed the thing in his mouth, and said: "Why do I feel like I'm eating a death row prisoner? Last meal before.....”

Xiao Ming: "Lord Huan Shui, forgive me for offending me, I feel that every meal you eat looks like your last meal..."

"Ah? Is there..."

"No..."

I don't know what suddenly came to my mind, and with a malicious smile on my face, I approached the two of them, and said in a low voice, "I heard that if the soldiers have a life-and-death fight on the second day, they must be served by delicious food and beauties the day before the battle. The next day is the day of death. You must enjoy all the joys of the world before you can leave without regret. Those beauties are the women of the army stationed. Enter the man's tent. Now that the food is eaten, I don't know how long..."

Jin Buhuan spit out a sip of wine, and looked at Huang Li in surprise, and the maids next to him hurriedly gathered around, cleaning up the utensils, and patting their shoulders and backs.

Xiao Ming supported his forehead with a headache, and said, "When I return to Shanyang, I will definitely find out your crooked books and throw them away."

After eating and drinking enough, it was already late at night, and everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Xiao Ming opened the door, and saw the figure sitting at the tea table in the room at a glance, his heart tightened suddenly, and a thought suddenly came to mind.

Are there really beauties?

Hearing the sound, the man turned around and smiled at Xiao Ming, and there was a touch of soul-stirring beauty in that smile.

That man and Xiao Ming seemed to be about the same age, with a slender figure, a light yellow body, creamy skin, slightly powdered cheeks, and a masculine heroism between his brows, but also a woman's delicacy and beauty.

Xiao Ming was in a daze for a moment, and stood motionless on the spot.

The man stood up, bowed slightly and gave a salute, but he didn't feel any discomfort, and said, "Your Excellency must be Doctor Xiao from Ying Country."

The voice is clear and warm, but it is indeed a male voice.

Xiao Ming was startled, nodded his head and replied "yes", feeling confused in his heart.

If it is true what Huan Li said, he just chased away the beauty, but now there is a man in front of him, if he gets it wrong, wouldn't it be embarrassing.

Seeing that Xiao Ming didn't come over, the man walked up to him, "The villain's name is Fang Qiuye, so you can just call me Qiuye."

"Oh..." Xiao Ming took a step back in resistance, finding his usual composure, "Young Master came to visit late at night, I don't know why."

The man showed a knowing smile, and he took the initiative to pull Xiao Ming's arm, "The genius doctor will leave for that dangerous place tomorrow, so I won't say any more at this moment, I'll help you change clothes first, how about it?"

Xiao Ming seemed to be licked by the tongue of fire, he quickly pulled his hands away, and said in surprise, "What exactly do you want, young master?"

The man saw that although Xiao Ming escaped from the contact of the two of them, he still walked into the room, thought it was just his refusal to return the welcome, so he followed up funnyly, went straight forward and grabbed his belt.

He always had a smile on his face, and his words were frivolous, as if he was used to this kind of situation, "What do I want... Why don't the genius doctor tell me what I want first." After speaking, he loosened his hand belt.

???

Xiao Ming has lived for 1000 years, and he has never been treated like this. His neck and up are stained with a layer of pink, and his usual calmness is completely gone. His last weapon, confronting the opponent.

Although the man looked slender, he was not weak in strength. Xiao Ming was so troubled that he wanted to end the farce, so he pulled back his belt with his hands.

Unexpectedly, the man didn't let go at all, and even the belt that was pulled back hit Xiao Ming's arms, and took advantage of the opportunity to "baji—" kissed him on the face, leaving a wet mark on it.

Xiao Ming was startled, even the tips of his ears turned red.

The man burst out laughing, wrapped his arms around Xiao Ming's neck, and moved closer to his ears, his voice tinged with sweetness.

"What else does the genius doctor want? Let's...take it slowly." The last sound dragged on for no reason, making people's ears numb.

This time, Xiao Ming didn't even want the belt anymore, he just pushed the person away from his body and escaped from the room.

As soon as he opened the door and took two steps as if fleeing, he bumped into a person.

The first thing Xiao Ming felt was a kind of sweet smell like melon and fruit or flower petals from that person, sweet and a bit refreshing.

The smell somehow calmed him down.

The man pulled Xiao Ming quickly with quick eyes and hands, preventing him from falling on top of him.

Xiao Ming apologized, and looked up at the person in front of him.

The man was dressed in white, and his face seemed calm, like a still painting, with a few strokes, which seemed to be done at his fingertips, but he worked hard and tried his best to restrain himself, full of passion.The pair of black pupils showed a slight alienation, but did not appear cold, and the lips were slightly pursed, as if a little unhappy.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xiao Ming vaguely felt that there was a faint light on that face.

He soon realized that it was the regal air emanating from this man.

Anyone who was born as the emperor's order will emit this kind of faint light, not only that, if you look at the place where that person is in the sky, in the clouds and mists, the whole area is emitting light.It's just that this light is not what ordinary people can see.

He suddenly remembered that the last time he saw a brighter light than this was more than 1000 years ago.

Just when Xiao Ming was in a trance, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and it was the person in his room chasing him out.

The man didn't come any closer.

Xiao Ming turned around, saw the man bowed to this side, saluted, and said, "His Royal Highness Yao Guang"

It turned out that this was the Seventh Prince of Qingyue.

In my impression, he should be a sick and weak character, but from this point of view, there is no trace of sickness at all, but he is a head taller than Xiao Ming, with a tall and straight figure.

His Royal Highness glanced at the man, and then at the disheveled man in front of him.

Sensing his gaze, Xiao Ming gathered the loose clothes uncomfortably, wanted to explain, but found it difficult to speak.

As soon as I got back to the room, I found that this person had mischievous intentions towards me, so I rushed out?

Xiao Ming was ashamed and about to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, only to see that His Highness waved to the person standing at the door, saying, "You go back first, the genius doctor will get up and go to Feishuang tomorrow, don't bother me. "

The voice was cold, but there seemed to be a hint of unnoticeable displeasure.

Xiao Ming thought about it carefully, and it was even more unpleasant. In the mansion of the dignified prince of Qingyue Kingdom, there were actually two men messing around in the middle of the night, which alarmed the owner of the house, and he didn't know what the owner of the mansion thought.

Forget it, we didn't have much to do with each other at all, and we left tomorrow, so why bother.

Even though he comforted himself like this, Xiao Ming couldn't help raising his eyes to see his expression.

It happened that His Royal Highness was also looking at him, and the two looked at each other for a moment, but the other looked away first.

The prince bowed slightly and bowed to him: "Are you still used to the miracle doctor coming to Qingyue these days? Yao Guang is burdened with tedious work, and has never had a chance to visit him."

Xiao Ming hastily returned the gift, "Your Highness, you are welcome. The climate in Qingyue is pleasant and the food is plentiful. There is nothing I am not used to."

Yao Guang's interest seemed to be better than before. His voice was originally very cold, but now he seemed to be smiling slightly, which made people feel close.

"The genius doctor can just call me Yaoguang."

Xiao Ming did not dare to agree, and found that the other party was staring straight at his face, touched his chin guiltily, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Guang raised his finger and pointed to his left cheek, "Is the genius doctor injured?"

Xiao Ming raised his hand and rubbed his left cheek vigorously, looked at his fingertips that were stained a little pink, and suddenly realized that his face was burning again.

It was the rouge left behind when the person in the room kissed him just now.

He laughed embarrassingly, rolled up his sleeves, and rubbed his cheeks violently, trying to wipe out the evidence that he was ashamed to speak of.

Yao Guang looked at him quietly, without saying a word.But it made Xiao Ming feel even more embarrassed, and wanted to run away in the next moment.

Coincidentally, a gust of cold wind blew, Xiao Ming sneezed wisely and made an excuse to leave, but the other party spoke first.

"It's windy at night, so the genius doctor should go back and rest."

Xiao Ming couldn't get what he wanted, so he said "Farewell" and fled away.

Yao Guang still stood still, he looked at the leaving figure, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly pulled away, and the black eyes also turned into a very light brown, like the eyes of some kind of beast.
