He Lianzhu's illness came and went quickly, he only lay on the bed for one night, and he was able to go to the ground the next day.
He and Ruan Jiu went to visit Mr. Liu outside Xiyuan City.
Mr. Liu heard what happened in Shangjing City, and nodded in approval to He Lianzhu, thinking that it really is the emperor's talent I taught, the kind that happens once in a thousand years, but he still kept his mouth very reserved: " good."
Then he looked at Ruan Jiu: "Before I left, did you finish the homework I asked you to do? Can you speak harsh words now?"
So Ruan Jiu performed a jingle that Zhuang Xian taught him on the spot.
Old Mr. Liu stayed where he was: "Why do these words sound so familiar?" He came back to his senses: "Don't change the subject, what about homework?"
Ruan Jiu looked up at him: "The homework... fell into the fire."
Mr. Liu froze again: "What?"
"It fell into the fire." Ruan Jiu smiled, "It was all burned, the person who burned my homework - he is now another teacher of mine, he asked me to tell you that these homework are really boring. "
In the blink of an eye, Mr. Liu suddenly thought of a person.
He squeezed the two words out between his teeth: "Zhuang, Xian."
Ruan Jiu nodded: "Well, that's exactly the title of respected master."
Mr. Liu came back to his senses after a while: "So you didn't do your homework?"
Ruan Jiuli nodded confidently: "Yes."
Mr. Liu slapped the wall angrily: "He robbed my apprentice, he is shameless."
Ruan Jiu said: "Teacher, anyway, you don't like me all the time, and you still hate that I shaved off your beard, or you..."
"No." Mr. Liu resolutely refused, "I was the one who accepted you as a student first, and I was in front of Zhuang Xian. He must have seen your true and pure nature and robbed me."
He put his arms around Ruan Jiu's shoulders, scaring Ruan Jiu into shock.
"Your Majesty has already graduated as a teacher. The teacher will concentrate on training you for the rest of your life. You study hard. If you start learning now, the teacher can teach you to be a prime minister or something. How about it? Do you want to be a prime minister or a minister?"
Ruan Jiu wanted to cry but had no tears, so he shrank his neck: "No, I don't want to..."
"It's been a long time." Mr. Liu patted his head, "This is the only one in the world. Zhuang Xian and I teach a person at the same time..."
Ruan Jiu hurriedly said, "Little Pig too."
He Lianzhu said at the right time: "Little pig is not."
Mr. Liu held down Ruan Jiu: "Don't worry, you just say, who do you mainly learn from? Learn from Zhuang Xian, his crooked ways, easy to go crazy, I am a decent school, which one do you want to learn? Or both schools? build?"
Ruan Jiu shook his head vigorously: "I'm not, I haven't."
"Okay, when are you going back to Shangjing?"
Ruan Jiu refused to accept the fact: "Are you going with me too?"
"Naturally." Mr. Liu glanced at He Lianzhu, "The king is here to see you at this time, isn't it just to invite me over?"
Ruan Jiu tremblingly covered He Lianzhu's hand, and shook his head instead of him: "No, I just came to visit."
Helen Zhu nodded.
This time it was Mr. Liu's turn to refuse to accept the reality.
"Don't you need me to make suggestions for Ji Wu?"
He Lianzhu smiled lightly and nodded: "No need, the teacher should take care of his life, so let's teach Ruan Jiu by the way."
Two people with conflicting ideas can teach Ruan Jiu, but they can't teach Ji Wu, and there will be troubles.There is already a Zhuang Xian, if there is another Liu Changsheng, it will be messed up.
Mr. Liu naturally understood this truth, so he didn't say anything else.
Ruan Jiu finally escaped from Mr. Liu, ran outside the door, and saw Liu Changming feeding the sheep.
It was Liu Changming, a soldier of Liang State, who was picked up by old Mr. Liu at the door of his house.
The other Liang soldiers living in Jiwu had already been sent by Liang Guo to take over, and he was the only one.
There are too many secrets about him, and they cannot be exposed to others.
And Ruan Jiu did get some letters from He Liancheng last time, and he kept those letters by himself, without showing them to anyone.He wrote to his elder brother Ruan He, and his elder brother only said, let him put away all the things first, don't send them over first, the mountains and roads are far away, if he loses the letter on the road, it will be over, and don't leak the news , so as not to cause trouble.
Of course Ruan He was worried that he would continue the investigation by himself, so he said that whenever he waited, he would come over and take the things away in person.
So there is no need for Ruan Jiu to do anything.
And before Ruan Jiu left Xiyuan, he left a doctor for Liu Changshou, who treated his illness for more than a year, and he seemed to be getting better.
At least he was dressed neatly, his clothes and hair were clean, and he stood beside the sheep pen feeding the sheep, and his movements looked very skilled.
Ruan Jiu stepped forward and greeted him: "Do you still recognize me?"
He was still talking in a low voice, afraid of scaring Liu Changming, but he didn't want Liu Changming to drop the fodder with a swipe of the ground when he saw him, clap his fists again, and finally knelt down on one knee for him.
Ruan Jiu was frightened by him and jumped back a step, startled: "What are you doing?"
Liu Changming didn't speak, he probably didn't know how to speak yet, and just knelt on the ground straight up.
Ruan Jiu tried to move to the side, and he followed Ruan Jiu, making sure to salute Ruan Jiu upright.
Ruan Jiu turned around in front of him, and he turned around on the ground.
Ruan Jiu tried to ask him: "What are you doing?"
But he might not be able to understand or speak, so he just followed him like that.
Ruan Jiu was a little scared, called "Come here" twice, and ran outside, Liu Changming also followed him, just following behind him, keeping a distance of two or three steps, even if he couldn't shake him off.
Just at this time, the doctor Ruan Jiu left for Liu Changming arrived in time, stood in front of Ruan Jiu, coughed lightly, and patted Liu Changming three times to calm him down.
Ruan Jiu hid behind the doctor, looked at Liu Changming, and saw that he really calmed down, and the expression on his face also became calm.
He praised the doctor: "You are really rejuvenated."
The doctor waved Liu Changming to continue feeding the sheep, and looked back at Ruan Jiu: "Did the young master offend him? He is a sick man, and he can't bear to be teased. The young master should find someone else to play with."
"I didn't mess with him." Ruan Jiu said seriously, "I just went over to say hello to him, and then he..."
"Really?" The doctor thought for a while, "I asked him when I gave him the needle that night, maybe he remembered the young master."
"Okay." Ruan Jiu went out to find someone else to play with, rubbed his chin, recalled Liu Changming's performance just now, and always felt that his behavior at that time was not as if he wanted to beat him, but more like a little trust, and There is a little reverence.
Ruan Jiu smiled, so he didn't save a person in vain.
In the evening, before dinner, Ruan Jiu watched the doctor give Liu Changming an injection.
The doctor said that Liu Changming had been poisoned for too long, and the poison had penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Ordinary herbal medicines could no longer detoxify him, so he had to rely on silver needles to scrape off the poison bit by bit.
Ruan Jiu felt very painful when he thought about it, and the doctor also said: "Young master, if you want to see it, you should look at it at a distance. Every time you give him an injection, he is very irritable, like giving a tiger a needle, it is really painful. He can still smash things. The first time he smashed the whole room, several people held him down."
"I see." Ruan Jiu said, then stepped back, squatted on the ground, and looked up.
Then the doctor took out a three-finger-thick hemp rope and tied Liu Changming firmly to the chair.
And Liu Changming seemed to be used to it, so he didn't respond, just sat like that and let him do it.
I don't know if it was Ruan Jiu's illusion, but he always felt that Liu Changming was looking at him.
Maybe he really remembered Ruan Jiu.
The doctor tied the man up, and even a tiger couldn't break free, so he pushed out a row of 64 silver needles, lit a candle, and began to administer needles.
Ruan Jiu had never seen such a scene before, and he felt pain even before the needle was inserted.
He covered his eyes, and after the doctor inserted the first needle, Liu Changming howled like a tiger roaring, scaring Ruan Jiu so much that he fell back onto the wall.
Hearing the sound felt very painful, and Ruan Jiu couldn't bear to listen anymore, for fear that the doctor might not hold the needle firmly and the next needle would stick on his body.
He got up to leave, and took a last look at Liu Changming, only to find that when the second and third roots were planted, Liu Changming stopped shouting.
His hands clasped the armrests of the chair tightly, almost breaking them off and crushing them.Blue veins popped out on his hands and foreheads, he gritted his teeth tightly, and the blood vessels on his neck were also extremely obvious.
It can be seen that he suffered no less than the first injection, but he was enduring it and would never cry out again.
Ruan Jiu was going to leave, but seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but stop.
The doctor gave eight needles and was already sweating profusely.
He stopped his movements, picked up the towel at hand, wiped his forehead and hands, turned his head and said to Ruan Jiu, "I'm afraid he really recognizes the young master, and he usually shouts every time an injection is given, but today he just shouted." It stopped immediately."
Ruan Jiu touched the tip of his nose: "Then should I stay here? Or should I go out?"
The doctor looked at Liu Changming again: "Young master, stay here, maybe he will feel better."
"Okay." So Ruan Jiu stepped forward, took the towel from the doctor, and helped him wipe his sweat and hands.
After all the 64 silver needles were pierced, and then all were pulled out, it was already an hour later.Liu Changming still maintained his sanity, the doctor's back was soaked, Ruan Jiu raised his hand to wipe his face.
"what should I do now?"
The doctor approached Liu Changming and asked in a low voice, "Do you know Mr. Ruan?"
Liu Changming couldn't speak, he could only let out a "hoho" sound, and the doctor reminded him: "Nod or shake your head?"
Liu Changming didn't move, and the doctor had no choice but to give up, clapping his hands in front of him three times: "Go to sleep."
Liu Changming really fell asleep as promised, Ruan Jiu blinked: "Is this all right?"
"Well, the needle is inserted every half a month." The doctor untied the rope on his body.
"Then he will be more awake after getting the needle?"
"Yes, I just wanted to give it a try. After the first piercing half a year ago, I had a reaction." The doctor lifted Liu Changming up and put him on the bed, "He said to me: 'Thank you doctor. '"
Ruan Jiu helped him make the bed.
"Another time, I saw that he was screaming so badly, I thought that I should do the piercing for the last time, and then try another method. After that time, he told me not to give up. , he still has important things to do."
Ruan Jiu thought to himself, it should be something in the barracks, and he still wanted to take revenge, to catch the moth who colluded with the inside and outside of the Daliang court.
So we can stick to it until now.
Ruan Jiu sighed, shook off the quilt, and covered Liu Changming.
After a few days of delay in Xiyuan, Mr. Liu finally followed them on the road and returned to Shangjing as Teacher Ruan Jiu.
Liu Changming naturally went back with him.
I didn't take him back before, because I felt that the situation in Shangjing City was complicated, and it would be bad for him to go back.Now that the dust has settled, Ruan Jiu feels that it is more reassuring to keep this person under his nose.
Moreover, he only left one doctor for Liu Changming, and returned to Shangjing. The dozen or so doctors left to him by Master Ruan were all in Shangjing. After passing, it should be better for Liu Changming.
If he wants to get better soon.
The only bad thing is——
I don't know if Liu Changming regarded him as someone else, or if he was really grateful to Ruan Jiu.
He likes to follow Ruan Jiu very much.
Ruan Jiu felt a little frightened by his behavior, and after stopping it several times, Liu Changming still had no intention of correcting it.
But he seemed to sense that Ruan Jiu didn't like his behavior a bit, and finally retreated ten steps away from Ruan Jiu.
It can't be farther away, and he will make a fuss.
And he doesn't seem to be used to riding in a carriage. He is used to running with the carriage. It was only then that Ruan Jiu discovered that his lightness kung fu is very good.
But no matter how good the qinggong is, it is impossible to run back to Shangjing from Xiyuan.
In the end, Ruan Jiu and the doctor had to use up a lot of energy to persuade him to get into the carriage.
In the carriage, Liu Changming was holding his lamb - his main job at Mr. Liu's house was to herd the sheep, so he had to take his lamb with him.
But he has two sheep, so—
Ruan Jiu sat beside him, also holding a sheep in his arms.
Liu Changming couldn't speak, so they just sat in silence like this.
He Lianzhu was very concerned about this man who suddenly appeared and insisted on following Ruan Jiu, so He Lianzhu also sat with them, sitting between Ruan Jiu and Liu Changming, also silent.
This atmosphere is too strange, Ruan Jiu touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably.
"That... little pig."
He Lianzhu responded lightly: "Yes."
"Liu Changming is quite strange. Is it because he used to ride horses in the military camp, so he doesn't like riding in carriages?"
He Lianzhu said calmly, "No."
"Huh? What's the reason for that? Are those in the barracks not soldiers or something?"
"Dark guard."
Ruan Jiu didn't quite understand: "Huh?"
"I only follow one person and never leave an inch, because I have received the death order and must protect that person. The lightness kung fu is very good, and the skill is also good, so that I can guarantee not to lose that person. Of course, the dark guard can't take a carriage."
When he said this, Ruan Jiu believed it.
"But I've never seen him before, shouldn't he be protecting me?"
"Probably not." Helian Zhu paused, "Perhaps, the person he wants to protect is very similar to you."
Ruan Jiu tried hard to recall.
Those who can use hidden guards are probably people in the palace, or they are also officials.
His appearance is the only one in Yong'an City, how can anyone look similar to him?
He thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of such a person, and finally shook his head and said, "It's definitely not, you guessed wrong, little pig."
He Lianzhu didn't answer, took out a brass-like whistle and blew it.
The whistle was very sharp, and Ruan Jiu watched helplessly as Liu Changming hugged the lamb and jumped out of the moving carriage.
When Ruan Jiu opened the curtain to look, he was gone.
"Who told you to blow it?" Ruan Jiu picked up the lamb in his arms, and let the lamb kick Helian Zhu with its hoof, "Now I have to stop and look for him again."
He Lianzhu said innocently: "Ruanjiu, he used to be a secret guard, and going out for some activities now may help him return to normal. He won't be lost, what kind of secret guard is he? If not, the carriage will be crowded."
Ruan Jiu looked at He Lianzhu, and was faintly persuaded by him.
"Okay, but is he really not going to be lost?"
"No." He Lianzhu lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced around, and pointed to Ruan Jiu, "He is on that tree now, counting to three, he will jump to another tree .”
Ruan Jiu counted silently in his heart, and it was true. As soon as the third voice fell, Liu Changming jumped over.
Ruan Jiu was amazed, and patted He Lianzhu's shoulder: "Oh, I didn't expect you to have research on Liang Guo's hidden guards."
He Lianzhu lowered the curtain: "He's fine, he can be more comfortable outside."
"Yeah." This time Ruan Jiu nodded in agreement, opened the curtain again, and gestured to Liu Changming, asking him to come and take the carriage if he was tired.
But there was one thing that Ruan Jiu really couldn't figure out.
"Who was he protecting before? Who is similar to me?"
Ruan Jiu pulled out the dignitaries in Yong'an City again, and thought again with his fingers. He Lianzhu took the opportunity to take the lamb away from Ruan Jiu's arms, and nestled himself into his arms tall and big.
Seeing that Ruan Jiu hadn't remembered it after thinking for a long time, He Lianzhu couldn't help but click him again: "Your brother."
That's right, isn't the person most similar to Ruan Jiu in the world, Ruan He?
But Ruan Jiu shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible, our family has never raised a secret guard."
He Lianzhu was hugging his waist, rubbing against his face, happily rubbing against his face, and answered casually: "Really?"
"If my family keeps secret guards, I'm afraid my father will rebel."
Ruan Jiu thought for a while, then pushed He Lianzhu away: "Stop posting indiscriminately, aren't you hot?"
He Lianzhu replied naturally: "It's not hot, Ruanjiu is cool."
"Where is it? I'm so hot that I'm sweating." Ruan Jiu stopped, "Don't come here again!"
He Lianzhu simply hugged him into his arms, anyway, he was already bigger than Ruan Jiu, so it was more than enough to hug Ruan Jiu.
"It's cool on my body, and the soft chirp sticks to me."
"I don't post!"
Ruan Jiu suddenly understood why he drove Liu Changming away, the carriage was not crowded at all, but Liu Changming was here, He Lianzhu didn't dare rub against him.
He really couldn't push He Lianzhu away, Ruan Jiu was a little annoyed, and wanted to call Liu Changming back, but He Lianzhu held him down.
He Lianzhu took his hand and let him touch his face.
It seems to be a little cooler.
Ruan Jiu turned his head away, touched He Lianzhu's face, then went all the way down, along his neck, and stuffed his hands into his collar.
It's really cool, and it's really a cool tool.
Ruan Jiu thought, wolves are not cold-blooded animals, why is He Lianzhu so cold?
He thought about it all day, but he couldn't figure out why.
Until they passed a pasture, Ruan Jiu saw a newborn piglet in the pasture.
Ruan Jiu suddenly realized that He Lianzhu was a little pig, not a little wolf.
So he stepped over the fence and went in to pet the little piggy.
Strangely, the piglet is also hot.
He looked back at He Lianzhu, not sure why he was so cool.
Seeing him looking over, He Lianzhu smiled at him.
Ruan Jiu raised the little piggy and waved at him, He Lianzhu's smile froze.
Ruan Jiu tried to keep that little pig by his side, but He Lianzhu disagreed at first, how could there be two little pigs under one roof?
And Ruan Jiu has already raised enough animals.
Counting the two lambs brought back by Liu Changming this time, there are already six of them!
He Lianzhu felt that one day his palace would become a zoo.
When there was a stalemate, it was Ulan who persuaded Ruan Jiu to come down.
"Little pigs will grow bigger and bigger. At that time, it will only be for food—" Ulan paused, and drew a huge shape with his hands, "There are so many, and then... there will be so many. This It’s not the same as raising dogs and wolves for the queen, when the time comes, the queen will shovel shit for this pig every day.”
"The queen was playing outside before, didn't she step on cow dung? If there is a pig in the palace, the queen will step on it every day if she doesn't pay attention..."
Ruan Jiu was stunned by what he said, and finally let go and put the little pig back.
He was persuaded by Ulan, and He Lianzhu watched from the sidelines, inexplicably agitated, thinking of what Ruan Jiu said earlier that he liked Ulan, he was even more annoyed, and his eyes were full of melancholy.
Thinking about Ruan Jiu being kidnapped a while ago, he gradually became suspicious.
At that time, he was only looking for Ruan Jiu, and didn't have time to think about it.
Thinking about it now, logically speaking, there are many guards in the palace, how could Ruan Jiu be taken away so easily without being noticed?
Ruan Jiu has the queen mother's dark lines around him, and the possibility of cooperating with the inside and the outside is the greatest.
He Lianzhu was thoughtful, so that night, he sent people to interrogate the captured queen dowager remnants.
He stopped and stopped along the way, and when he returned to Shangjing, it was already half a month later.
The road was too hot, so the carriage didn't stop at other places, but went straight back to Daedeok Palace.
The palace has already prepared ice cubes and fruits to cool off the summer heat, just waiting for Ruan Jiu to come back.
Originally they neglected their duty, He Lianzhu wanted to deal with them, but he didn't take care of them at that time, now seeing their affectionate and courteous appearance with Ruan Jiu, he knew in his heart that there is no way to deal with them, if they are moved, Ruan Jiu must be angry again.
Surrounded by a group of attendants, Ruan Jiu entered the bedroom.
The air-conditioning blows in, and the ice tray contains watermelon and grapes, which is cool just by looking at it.
Ruan Jiu glanced back, saw that He Lianzhu was still behind, and quickly waved to Ulan to let him come over.
He asked Ulan in a low voice: "Where did you put that letter? Go and put it away, and Helian Zhu will come in later."
"Yes." Ulan answered and entered the door.
He walked into the room, and after a while, he came out again, whispering to Ruan Jiu: "Queen, I didn't see it, the letter is gone."
This is not very good, if this kind of thing falls into the hands of others, it will be more or less a handle.
So Ruan Jiu pushed away the attendants who wanted to serve him to drink water and wash his face, and followed Ulan into the inner room.
The attendants teased in a low voice: "The queen still likes to serve Lord Ulan the most."
"Who says it's not? I just came back, and hurried in again."
Just at this time, He Lianzhu also came in, his face darkened, and he also turned to the room.
At that time, Ruan Jiu and Ulan were looking for the letter everywhere. Ruan Jiu knelt down in front of the bed and looked down at the bottom of the bed: "Here! It must have been blown down by the wind."
Ruan Jiu stretched out his hand to get it, and suddenly touched a box.
He dragged out both the letter and the box, after seeing the broken lock of the small box.
The air freezes.
Ruan Jiu remembered that he had made an agreement with He Lianzhu that he could only read it after five years, and now there were only three years left.
He Lianzhu's face became gloomy from the naked eye, and he became helpless: "Ruanjiu, I..." Then he saw the letter in Ruan Jiu's hand, stepped forward quickly, and took the letter away: "This is another What?"
Ruan Jiu was startled, ignored the box, and jumped up to take back the letter: "Give it back to me!"
He Lianzhu held up the letter, opened it, and glanced at it hastily.
When he was reading the letter, Ruan Jiu grabbed his belt and stood on tiptoe, trying to get the things back.
He Lianzhu soon knew what was written on it. Ulan was terrified and lowered his head to apologize, but He Lianzhu said coldly: "Get out."
He only looked at Ruan Jiu: "Why do you still want to help him hide such a big matter?"
Ruan Jiu was also plausible: "You'd better explain to me about the box first."
He and Ruan Jiu went to visit Mr. Liu outside Xiyuan City.
Mr. Liu heard what happened in Shangjing City, and nodded in approval to He Lianzhu, thinking that it really is the emperor's talent I taught, the kind that happens once in a thousand years, but he still kept his mouth very reserved: " good."
Then he looked at Ruan Jiu: "Before I left, did you finish the homework I asked you to do? Can you speak harsh words now?"
So Ruan Jiu performed a jingle that Zhuang Xian taught him on the spot.
Old Mr. Liu stayed where he was: "Why do these words sound so familiar?" He came back to his senses: "Don't change the subject, what about homework?"
Ruan Jiu looked up at him: "The homework... fell into the fire."
Mr. Liu froze again: "What?"
"It fell into the fire." Ruan Jiu smiled, "It was all burned, the person who burned my homework - he is now another teacher of mine, he asked me to tell you that these homework are really boring. "
In the blink of an eye, Mr. Liu suddenly thought of a person.
He squeezed the two words out between his teeth: "Zhuang, Xian."
Ruan Jiu nodded: "Well, that's exactly the title of respected master."
Mr. Liu came back to his senses after a while: "So you didn't do your homework?"
Ruan Jiuli nodded confidently: "Yes."
Mr. Liu slapped the wall angrily: "He robbed my apprentice, he is shameless."
Ruan Jiu said: "Teacher, anyway, you don't like me all the time, and you still hate that I shaved off your beard, or you..."
"No." Mr. Liu resolutely refused, "I was the one who accepted you as a student first, and I was in front of Zhuang Xian. He must have seen your true and pure nature and robbed me."
He put his arms around Ruan Jiu's shoulders, scaring Ruan Jiu into shock.
"Your Majesty has already graduated as a teacher. The teacher will concentrate on training you for the rest of your life. You study hard. If you start learning now, the teacher can teach you to be a prime minister or something. How about it? Do you want to be a prime minister or a minister?"
Ruan Jiu wanted to cry but had no tears, so he shrank his neck: "No, I don't want to..."
"It's been a long time." Mr. Liu patted his head, "This is the only one in the world. Zhuang Xian and I teach a person at the same time..."
Ruan Jiu hurriedly said, "Little Pig too."
He Lianzhu said at the right time: "Little pig is not."
Mr. Liu held down Ruan Jiu: "Don't worry, you just say, who do you mainly learn from? Learn from Zhuang Xian, his crooked ways, easy to go crazy, I am a decent school, which one do you want to learn? Or both schools? build?"
Ruan Jiu shook his head vigorously: "I'm not, I haven't."
"Okay, when are you going back to Shangjing?"
Ruan Jiu refused to accept the fact: "Are you going with me too?"
"Naturally." Mr. Liu glanced at He Lianzhu, "The king is here to see you at this time, isn't it just to invite me over?"
Ruan Jiu tremblingly covered He Lianzhu's hand, and shook his head instead of him: "No, I just came to visit."
Helen Zhu nodded.
This time it was Mr. Liu's turn to refuse to accept the reality.
"Don't you need me to make suggestions for Ji Wu?"
He Lianzhu smiled lightly and nodded: "No need, the teacher should take care of his life, so let's teach Ruan Jiu by the way."
Two people with conflicting ideas can teach Ruan Jiu, but they can't teach Ji Wu, and there will be troubles.There is already a Zhuang Xian, if there is another Liu Changsheng, it will be messed up.
Mr. Liu naturally understood this truth, so he didn't say anything else.
Ruan Jiu finally escaped from Mr. Liu, ran outside the door, and saw Liu Changming feeding the sheep.
It was Liu Changming, a soldier of Liang State, who was picked up by old Mr. Liu at the door of his house.
The other Liang soldiers living in Jiwu had already been sent by Liang Guo to take over, and he was the only one.
There are too many secrets about him, and they cannot be exposed to others.
And Ruan Jiu did get some letters from He Liancheng last time, and he kept those letters by himself, without showing them to anyone.He wrote to his elder brother Ruan He, and his elder brother only said, let him put away all the things first, don't send them over first, the mountains and roads are far away, if he loses the letter on the road, it will be over, and don't leak the news , so as not to cause trouble.
Of course Ruan He was worried that he would continue the investigation by himself, so he said that whenever he waited, he would come over and take the things away in person.
So there is no need for Ruan Jiu to do anything.
And before Ruan Jiu left Xiyuan, he left a doctor for Liu Changshou, who treated his illness for more than a year, and he seemed to be getting better.
At least he was dressed neatly, his clothes and hair were clean, and he stood beside the sheep pen feeding the sheep, and his movements looked very skilled.
Ruan Jiu stepped forward and greeted him: "Do you still recognize me?"
He was still talking in a low voice, afraid of scaring Liu Changming, but he didn't want Liu Changming to drop the fodder with a swipe of the ground when he saw him, clap his fists again, and finally knelt down on one knee for him.
Ruan Jiu was frightened by him and jumped back a step, startled: "What are you doing?"
Liu Changming didn't speak, he probably didn't know how to speak yet, and just knelt on the ground straight up.
Ruan Jiu tried to move to the side, and he followed Ruan Jiu, making sure to salute Ruan Jiu upright.
Ruan Jiu turned around in front of him, and he turned around on the ground.
Ruan Jiu tried to ask him: "What are you doing?"
But he might not be able to understand or speak, so he just followed him like that.
Ruan Jiu was a little scared, called "Come here" twice, and ran outside, Liu Changming also followed him, just following behind him, keeping a distance of two or three steps, even if he couldn't shake him off.
Just at this time, the doctor Ruan Jiu left for Liu Changming arrived in time, stood in front of Ruan Jiu, coughed lightly, and patted Liu Changming three times to calm him down.
Ruan Jiu hid behind the doctor, looked at Liu Changming, and saw that he really calmed down, and the expression on his face also became calm.
He praised the doctor: "You are really rejuvenated."
The doctor waved Liu Changming to continue feeding the sheep, and looked back at Ruan Jiu: "Did the young master offend him? He is a sick man, and he can't bear to be teased. The young master should find someone else to play with."
"I didn't mess with him." Ruan Jiu said seriously, "I just went over to say hello to him, and then he..."
"Really?" The doctor thought for a while, "I asked him when I gave him the needle that night, maybe he remembered the young master."
"Okay." Ruan Jiu went out to find someone else to play with, rubbed his chin, recalled Liu Changming's performance just now, and always felt that his behavior at that time was not as if he wanted to beat him, but more like a little trust, and There is a little reverence.
Ruan Jiu smiled, so he didn't save a person in vain.
In the evening, before dinner, Ruan Jiu watched the doctor give Liu Changming an injection.
The doctor said that Liu Changming had been poisoned for too long, and the poison had penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Ordinary herbal medicines could no longer detoxify him, so he had to rely on silver needles to scrape off the poison bit by bit.
Ruan Jiu felt very painful when he thought about it, and the doctor also said: "Young master, if you want to see it, you should look at it at a distance. Every time you give him an injection, he is very irritable, like giving a tiger a needle, it is really painful. He can still smash things. The first time he smashed the whole room, several people held him down."
"I see." Ruan Jiu said, then stepped back, squatted on the ground, and looked up.
Then the doctor took out a three-finger-thick hemp rope and tied Liu Changming firmly to the chair.
And Liu Changming seemed to be used to it, so he didn't respond, just sat like that and let him do it.
I don't know if it was Ruan Jiu's illusion, but he always felt that Liu Changming was looking at him.
Maybe he really remembered Ruan Jiu.
The doctor tied the man up, and even a tiger couldn't break free, so he pushed out a row of 64 silver needles, lit a candle, and began to administer needles.
Ruan Jiu had never seen such a scene before, and he felt pain even before the needle was inserted.
He covered his eyes, and after the doctor inserted the first needle, Liu Changming howled like a tiger roaring, scaring Ruan Jiu so much that he fell back onto the wall.
Hearing the sound felt very painful, and Ruan Jiu couldn't bear to listen anymore, for fear that the doctor might not hold the needle firmly and the next needle would stick on his body.
He got up to leave, and took a last look at Liu Changming, only to find that when the second and third roots were planted, Liu Changming stopped shouting.
His hands clasped the armrests of the chair tightly, almost breaking them off and crushing them.Blue veins popped out on his hands and foreheads, he gritted his teeth tightly, and the blood vessels on his neck were also extremely obvious.
It can be seen that he suffered no less than the first injection, but he was enduring it and would never cry out again.
Ruan Jiu was going to leave, but seeing his appearance, he couldn't help but stop.
The doctor gave eight needles and was already sweating profusely.
He stopped his movements, picked up the towel at hand, wiped his forehead and hands, turned his head and said to Ruan Jiu, "I'm afraid he really recognizes the young master, and he usually shouts every time an injection is given, but today he just shouted." It stopped immediately."
Ruan Jiu touched the tip of his nose: "Then should I stay here? Or should I go out?"
The doctor looked at Liu Changming again: "Young master, stay here, maybe he will feel better."
"Okay." So Ruan Jiu stepped forward, took the towel from the doctor, and helped him wipe his sweat and hands.
After all the 64 silver needles were pierced, and then all were pulled out, it was already an hour later.Liu Changming still maintained his sanity, the doctor's back was soaked, Ruan Jiu raised his hand to wipe his face.
"what should I do now?"
The doctor approached Liu Changming and asked in a low voice, "Do you know Mr. Ruan?"
Liu Changming couldn't speak, he could only let out a "hoho" sound, and the doctor reminded him: "Nod or shake your head?"
Liu Changming didn't move, and the doctor had no choice but to give up, clapping his hands in front of him three times: "Go to sleep."
Liu Changming really fell asleep as promised, Ruan Jiu blinked: "Is this all right?"
"Well, the needle is inserted every half a month." The doctor untied the rope on his body.
"Then he will be more awake after getting the needle?"
"Yes, I just wanted to give it a try. After the first piercing half a year ago, I had a reaction." The doctor lifted Liu Changming up and put him on the bed, "He said to me: 'Thank you doctor. '"
Ruan Jiu helped him make the bed.
"Another time, I saw that he was screaming so badly, I thought that I should do the piercing for the last time, and then try another method. After that time, he told me not to give up. , he still has important things to do."
Ruan Jiu thought to himself, it should be something in the barracks, and he still wanted to take revenge, to catch the moth who colluded with the inside and outside of the Daliang court.
So we can stick to it until now.
Ruan Jiu sighed, shook off the quilt, and covered Liu Changming.
After a few days of delay in Xiyuan, Mr. Liu finally followed them on the road and returned to Shangjing as Teacher Ruan Jiu.
Liu Changming naturally went back with him.
I didn't take him back before, because I felt that the situation in Shangjing City was complicated, and it would be bad for him to go back.Now that the dust has settled, Ruan Jiu feels that it is more reassuring to keep this person under his nose.
Moreover, he only left one doctor for Liu Changming, and returned to Shangjing. The dozen or so doctors left to him by Master Ruan were all in Shangjing. After passing, it should be better for Liu Changming.
If he wants to get better soon.
The only bad thing is——
I don't know if Liu Changming regarded him as someone else, or if he was really grateful to Ruan Jiu.
He likes to follow Ruan Jiu very much.
Ruan Jiu felt a little frightened by his behavior, and after stopping it several times, Liu Changming still had no intention of correcting it.
But he seemed to sense that Ruan Jiu didn't like his behavior a bit, and finally retreated ten steps away from Ruan Jiu.
It can't be farther away, and he will make a fuss.
And he doesn't seem to be used to riding in a carriage. He is used to running with the carriage. It was only then that Ruan Jiu discovered that his lightness kung fu is very good.
But no matter how good the qinggong is, it is impossible to run back to Shangjing from Xiyuan.
In the end, Ruan Jiu and the doctor had to use up a lot of energy to persuade him to get into the carriage.
In the carriage, Liu Changming was holding his lamb - his main job at Mr. Liu's house was to herd the sheep, so he had to take his lamb with him.
But he has two sheep, so—
Ruan Jiu sat beside him, also holding a sheep in his arms.
Liu Changming couldn't speak, so they just sat in silence like this.
He Lianzhu was very concerned about this man who suddenly appeared and insisted on following Ruan Jiu, so He Lianzhu also sat with them, sitting between Ruan Jiu and Liu Changming, also silent.
This atmosphere is too strange, Ruan Jiu touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably.
"That... little pig."
He Lianzhu responded lightly: "Yes."
"Liu Changming is quite strange. Is it because he used to ride horses in the military camp, so he doesn't like riding in carriages?"
He Lianzhu said calmly, "No."
"Huh? What's the reason for that? Are those in the barracks not soldiers or something?"
"Dark guard."
Ruan Jiu didn't quite understand: "Huh?"
"I only follow one person and never leave an inch, because I have received the death order and must protect that person. The lightness kung fu is very good, and the skill is also good, so that I can guarantee not to lose that person. Of course, the dark guard can't take a carriage."
When he said this, Ruan Jiu believed it.
"But I've never seen him before, shouldn't he be protecting me?"
"Probably not." Helian Zhu paused, "Perhaps, the person he wants to protect is very similar to you."
Ruan Jiu tried hard to recall.
Those who can use hidden guards are probably people in the palace, or they are also officials.
His appearance is the only one in Yong'an City, how can anyone look similar to him?
He thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of such a person, and finally shook his head and said, "It's definitely not, you guessed wrong, little pig."
He Lianzhu didn't answer, took out a brass-like whistle and blew it.
The whistle was very sharp, and Ruan Jiu watched helplessly as Liu Changming hugged the lamb and jumped out of the moving carriage.
When Ruan Jiu opened the curtain to look, he was gone.
"Who told you to blow it?" Ruan Jiu picked up the lamb in his arms, and let the lamb kick Helian Zhu with its hoof, "Now I have to stop and look for him again."
He Lianzhu said innocently: "Ruanjiu, he used to be a secret guard, and going out for some activities now may help him return to normal. He won't be lost, what kind of secret guard is he? If not, the carriage will be crowded."
Ruan Jiu looked at He Lianzhu, and was faintly persuaded by him.
"Okay, but is he really not going to be lost?"
"No." He Lianzhu lifted the curtain of the carriage, glanced around, and pointed to Ruan Jiu, "He is on that tree now, counting to three, he will jump to another tree .”
Ruan Jiu counted silently in his heart, and it was true. As soon as the third voice fell, Liu Changming jumped over.
Ruan Jiu was amazed, and patted He Lianzhu's shoulder: "Oh, I didn't expect you to have research on Liang Guo's hidden guards."
He Lianzhu lowered the curtain: "He's fine, he can be more comfortable outside."
"Yeah." This time Ruan Jiu nodded in agreement, opened the curtain again, and gestured to Liu Changming, asking him to come and take the carriage if he was tired.
But there was one thing that Ruan Jiu really couldn't figure out.
"Who was he protecting before? Who is similar to me?"
Ruan Jiu pulled out the dignitaries in Yong'an City again, and thought again with his fingers. He Lianzhu took the opportunity to take the lamb away from Ruan Jiu's arms, and nestled himself into his arms tall and big.
Seeing that Ruan Jiu hadn't remembered it after thinking for a long time, He Lianzhu couldn't help but click him again: "Your brother."
That's right, isn't the person most similar to Ruan Jiu in the world, Ruan He?
But Ruan Jiu shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible, our family has never raised a secret guard."
He Lianzhu was hugging his waist, rubbing against his face, happily rubbing against his face, and answered casually: "Really?"
"If my family keeps secret guards, I'm afraid my father will rebel."
Ruan Jiu thought for a while, then pushed He Lianzhu away: "Stop posting indiscriminately, aren't you hot?"
He Lianzhu replied naturally: "It's not hot, Ruanjiu is cool."
"Where is it? I'm so hot that I'm sweating." Ruan Jiu stopped, "Don't come here again!"
He Lianzhu simply hugged him into his arms, anyway, he was already bigger than Ruan Jiu, so it was more than enough to hug Ruan Jiu.
"It's cool on my body, and the soft chirp sticks to me."
"I don't post!"
Ruan Jiu suddenly understood why he drove Liu Changming away, the carriage was not crowded at all, but Liu Changming was here, He Lianzhu didn't dare rub against him.
He really couldn't push He Lianzhu away, Ruan Jiu was a little annoyed, and wanted to call Liu Changming back, but He Lianzhu held him down.
He Lianzhu took his hand and let him touch his face.
It seems to be a little cooler.
Ruan Jiu turned his head away, touched He Lianzhu's face, then went all the way down, along his neck, and stuffed his hands into his collar.
It's really cool, and it's really a cool tool.
Ruan Jiu thought, wolves are not cold-blooded animals, why is He Lianzhu so cold?
He thought about it all day, but he couldn't figure out why.
Until they passed a pasture, Ruan Jiu saw a newborn piglet in the pasture.
Ruan Jiu suddenly realized that He Lianzhu was a little pig, not a little wolf.
So he stepped over the fence and went in to pet the little piggy.
Strangely, the piglet is also hot.
He looked back at He Lianzhu, not sure why he was so cool.
Seeing him looking over, He Lianzhu smiled at him.
Ruan Jiu raised the little piggy and waved at him, He Lianzhu's smile froze.
Ruan Jiu tried to keep that little pig by his side, but He Lianzhu disagreed at first, how could there be two little pigs under one roof?
And Ruan Jiu has already raised enough animals.
Counting the two lambs brought back by Liu Changming this time, there are already six of them!
He Lianzhu felt that one day his palace would become a zoo.
When there was a stalemate, it was Ulan who persuaded Ruan Jiu to come down.
"Little pigs will grow bigger and bigger. At that time, it will only be for food—" Ulan paused, and drew a huge shape with his hands, "There are so many, and then... there will be so many. This It’s not the same as raising dogs and wolves for the queen, when the time comes, the queen will shovel shit for this pig every day.”
"The queen was playing outside before, didn't she step on cow dung? If there is a pig in the palace, the queen will step on it every day if she doesn't pay attention..."
Ruan Jiu was stunned by what he said, and finally let go and put the little pig back.
He was persuaded by Ulan, and He Lianzhu watched from the sidelines, inexplicably agitated, thinking of what Ruan Jiu said earlier that he liked Ulan, he was even more annoyed, and his eyes were full of melancholy.
Thinking about Ruan Jiu being kidnapped a while ago, he gradually became suspicious.
At that time, he was only looking for Ruan Jiu, and didn't have time to think about it.
Thinking about it now, logically speaking, there are many guards in the palace, how could Ruan Jiu be taken away so easily without being noticed?
Ruan Jiu has the queen mother's dark lines around him, and the possibility of cooperating with the inside and the outside is the greatest.
He Lianzhu was thoughtful, so that night, he sent people to interrogate the captured queen dowager remnants.
He stopped and stopped along the way, and when he returned to Shangjing, it was already half a month later.
The road was too hot, so the carriage didn't stop at other places, but went straight back to Daedeok Palace.
The palace has already prepared ice cubes and fruits to cool off the summer heat, just waiting for Ruan Jiu to come back.
Originally they neglected their duty, He Lianzhu wanted to deal with them, but he didn't take care of them at that time, now seeing their affectionate and courteous appearance with Ruan Jiu, he knew in his heart that there is no way to deal with them, if they are moved, Ruan Jiu must be angry again.
Surrounded by a group of attendants, Ruan Jiu entered the bedroom.
The air-conditioning blows in, and the ice tray contains watermelon and grapes, which is cool just by looking at it.
Ruan Jiu glanced back, saw that He Lianzhu was still behind, and quickly waved to Ulan to let him come over.
He asked Ulan in a low voice: "Where did you put that letter? Go and put it away, and Helian Zhu will come in later."
"Yes." Ulan answered and entered the door.
He walked into the room, and after a while, he came out again, whispering to Ruan Jiu: "Queen, I didn't see it, the letter is gone."
This is not very good, if this kind of thing falls into the hands of others, it will be more or less a handle.
So Ruan Jiu pushed away the attendants who wanted to serve him to drink water and wash his face, and followed Ulan into the inner room.
The attendants teased in a low voice: "The queen still likes to serve Lord Ulan the most."
"Who says it's not? I just came back, and hurried in again."
Just at this time, He Lianzhu also came in, his face darkened, and he also turned to the room.
At that time, Ruan Jiu and Ulan were looking for the letter everywhere. Ruan Jiu knelt down in front of the bed and looked down at the bottom of the bed: "Here! It must have been blown down by the wind."
Ruan Jiu stretched out his hand to get it, and suddenly touched a box.
He dragged out both the letter and the box, after seeing the broken lock of the small box.
The air freezes.
Ruan Jiu remembered that he had made an agreement with He Lianzhu that he could only read it after five years, and now there were only three years left.
He Lianzhu's face became gloomy from the naked eye, and he became helpless: "Ruanjiu, I..." Then he saw the letter in Ruan Jiu's hand, stepped forward quickly, and took the letter away: "This is another What?"
Ruan Jiu was startled, ignored the box, and jumped up to take back the letter: "Give it back to me!"
He Lianzhu held up the letter, opened it, and glanced at it hastily.
When he was reading the letter, Ruan Jiu grabbed his belt and stood on tiptoe, trying to get the things back.
He Lianzhu soon knew what was written on it. Ulan was terrified and lowered his head to apologize, but He Lianzhu said coldly: "Get out."
He only looked at Ruan Jiu: "Why do you still want to help him hide such a big matter?"
Ruan Jiu was also plausible: "You'd better explain to me about the box first."
