Crazy! Crazy batch of chief ministers reduced to subordinates

Chapter 46 New sprouts from dead trees
  It's snowing again outside, and the buds of the ginkgo trees in the yard that have grown out in the cold wind are covered with snow again.

The curtain on Lang Zhuo's bedroom was hung up, the door was open, and even the fire cage in the room was put out.

The room was as cold as a cellar, but Lang Zhuo was wearing thin clothes, and his whole body was soaked like water.

The two poisons were in a sword fight in his body, and his insides were on fire.

He rolled off the bed and lay on the cold floor for a long time, like a lone goose in the strong wind, swaying on the edge of life and death.

Beisheng didn't tell him that the medicine was so powerful, maybe he was teasing him on purpose.

Now I am so exhausted that I can't even breathe.

Using his last bit of strength, he got up from the ground and crawled toward the table like a worm. He wanted to drink water before his heart and lungs burned out, but the tea pot was already empty.

Both Ao Feng and Qing Yang were not in the house at the moment, and the old servant outside would never enter his house without being summoned. Now even if he died in the house, no one would be able to find him.

Lang Zhuo suddenly felt angry at Bei Sheng. If she were by his side right now, he would definitely drag her with him to death.

His dry throat squirmed, and Lang Zhuo closed his eyes in despair, lying on the ground quietly waiting for his soul to leave his body.

The copper drain in the corner had been ringing for an unknown amount of time. It seemed that a strange force emerged from the abyss like spring water, and the heart began to beat vigorously like a war drum.

The fire in the body is gradually extinguished, the pain is gradually fading, and the body seems to be replaced by another calm force.

Lang Zhuo opened his eyes and smiled with his chapped lips. His bet was right, Xu Beisheng was the one who could save his life.

When Orfeng and Qingyang came back from abroad at the end of Youshi, Lang Zhuo had already been sitting in front of the tea table for a long time.

Wearing clean and comfortable floral blue clothes, with long hair tied up with silver hairpins, Yuan Ting Yue Zhi, except for his pale face, showed no trace of having struggled on the edge of death.

Seeing them coming in from the outside, his pale and feeble face slowly raised, and he murmured: "Have you found it?"

Qingyang and Orfeng looked at each other. They didn't know who Master Lang was asking. Ofeng was going to investigate the affairs of Tuoba Zhao Yudang, so Qingyang decided to answer first.

He said: "Sir, the villain stopped Yan Qing who was next to Miss Xu Er and asked him. He said that Miss Xu Er had no special preferences and seemed to be indifferent to everything. The villain was afraid that he was not telling the truth, so he asked again I asked the other servants of the Duke's Mansion, some said that the second girl likes to read, some said that they heard the second girl play the piano, and they said all kinds of things, but none of them were accurate. How about asking Xu Er in person some other time? girl?"

He was asking about this outside the Duke's mansion like a thief, which was really not the behavior of a gentleman.

"Qin?" Lang Zhuo raised his eyebrows and murmured in his heart: Does she know how to play the piano?
  He calmly took a sip of tea, then turned to ask Ofeng: "What about you?"

Orfeng cupped his hands and said: "There were only two people who came to the capital with Tuoba Zhao. One was named Qianyi and the other was named Changyu. They were both his confidants. They were both at Baijin Smith Shop before. Tuoba Zhao did not return last night, and they were worried. Out of suspicion, Changyu went to Zuixianlou this morning to look for Boran, but Boran left him behind, and Qianyi disappeared without a trace."

"I don't know where to go...80% have already left the city." Lang Zhuo's long, knuckled fingers gently rubbed the ear of the cup for a moment before he said: "You secretly released the news and said that Yan Mo fled to Xuandewei. By Leping With the king’s hands, Tuoba Zhao’s people will be captured in one fell swoop, and they must not be allowed to return to Shengle!”

"Yes," Orfeng's expression became more solemn and he said cautiously: "If King Shengle discovers that Tuoba Zhao and his party have disappeared, will they become suspicious of you?"

Lang Zhuo smiled evilly, "Why do you doubt me? Wasn't it King Leping who killed them? If King Leping can recover Ren Yuanzhi's lost food and grass, it will be a great achievement for him. I am only a civil servant and have no military power. , what can King Shengle blame me for?"

"Then let me do it now!" Orfeng raised his sword and retreated.

Only Lang Zhuo and Qingyang were left in the room. Qingyang carefully took a step forward, knelt down in front of Lang Zhuo, and said hesitantly: "I bumped into someone in the Duke's Mansion today... Xu Young Master.”

Lang Zhuo's expression paused as he listened, and Qingyang continued: "Master Xu came out less than half an hour after he entered, but Miss Xu Er came out to see him off. The two seemed to be very familiar with each other. Miss Xu Er looked at Xu Er The young master’s carriage has gone far, so we will go back.”

"I checked. Your Majesty rewarded Mr. Xu with a ninth-grade official, the post of envoy of the Anlan and Ribbon Bureau. I heard that he was recommended to the court by the deputy envoy of the Angli and Ribbon Bureau. Mr. Xu thought that when An Guogong took over the eldest princess, he returned. As for the kindness of the court, I came to thank him after I got the position." Lang Zhuo drank tea and chuckled, "Xiao Xu has lived a submissive life these years, and no one takes him seriously. Now that I have got the position, I will help him as much as I can in the future. one time."

"Yes."

Lang Zhuo's eyes darkened again. The only intersection between Xu Beisheng and Xiao Xu was that he helped Xiao Xu out on the birthday of the princess. How could they become so familiar with each other?
  The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, so I stood up and said, "Go and invite Miss Xu Er to diagnose my pulse!"

"Now, now?" Qingyang turned his head and glanced at the copper leak, already pointing at the second quarter of the day. Then he turned his head and looked outside. The wind and snow were very serious.

Although Miss Xu Er was invited here in the middle of the night yesterday, it was indeed because Master Lang's injury was too severe and she had to be invited as a last resort. Today, Master Lang seems to be safe and sound.

It's not good to always invite other girls here and there late at night, and besides, it's snowy and windy today.

Besides, after what happened last night, Miss Xu Er was afraid that she would never dare to come again.

Qingyang hesitated for a while, then said: "How about we not know tomorrow? I will invite you early tomorrow morning."

"Right now." Lang Zhuo said, "Bring the handwritten "Qing Nang Book" in my study to invite her. She promises to come."

Qingyang endured his displeasure, stood up and said, "Yes."

……

The door of Duke An Guo's Mansion had been closed for a long time. Qingyang bravely knocked the door knocker. After a while, the small door next to him opened with a creak, and the guard of Duke An Guo's Mansion poked his head out from inside.

When he saw it was Qingyang, he smiled and asked, "Brother Qingyang comes to see our second girl again?"

Qingyang smiled sheepishly, walked over and said, "We adults are seriously ill and are about to die. Please ask the second girl to come and save your life."

The guard glared at him, "You can curse the master like this? You don't look like Master Lang is seriously ill. Just wait, I will go in and report."

"Wait a minute," Qingyang stopped him, handed the book in his arms to the guard, and said, "This is our lord's medical fee."

The guard took the book and ducked in, and the small door was closed.

Qingyang raised his hands and let out a breath while waiting, stamping his feet in the wind and snow.

"The Book of Green Bags" was placed on Beisheng's desk. She flipped through a few pages at random and murmured: "'Hua Tuo's immortal skills are better than those of Chang Sang, and his spiritual consciousness is like peering into a wall. The melancholy book is also extinct when a person dies, and there are no descendants. See you again!' I didn't expect Master Lang to still have the manuscript in his hands."

Wan Yue asked softly: "The guard sent word that Mr. Lang is seriously ill. Can the girl go?"

Beisheng gently stroked the "Qing Sang Shu" and said calmly: "Master Lang is fine now. You go and send a message and tell me that I have accepted the consultation fee. I will give you one pill per month in the white pottery jar. Don't forget Take it."

"Yes."

Qingyang waited in the wind and snow for a long time. The side door of Duke Anguo's Mansion opened a crack again, and the guard poked his head out and said, "The second girl said, since Master Lang is no longer in trouble, please don't forget it." Take one pill a month.”

After saying that, his head retracted and the door closed again.

Qingyang was stunned, "Didn't I say that Miss Xu Er took the "Qing Bag Book" and promised that she would come?"

Already freezing in the wind and snow, Qingyang shivered, got on his horse, and walked away in the night.
