I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

Except for daily training of refugees and rotation of troops, Xiang Liang and others spent the rest of their time communicating with Xiao Xuan.On the one hand, this is due to Zhang Yao’s instructions (of course, it’s only a “strong suggestion” in name)—the research on fungi has reached a critical juncture, and Xiao Xuan may be required to cooperate with the experiment if necessary, so establishing a good relationship in advance is the most important thing Heavy; the other side is to solve Mu Chen's confusion: in the previous communication, Xiao Xuan has already articulated the ins and outs of the fairy medicine, but he hesitated and slurred about the original body of King Hengyang, consciously Talk about him carelessly.It is estimated that in the eyes of this medicine man, if he knows how to be a venerable, he is really quite emotionally intelligent and knows how to advance and retreat.But to Mu Chen, this kind of behavior of riddlers is simply disgusting...

Of course, he can't go up and blatantly blow himself up and give Xiao Xuan a clean slate of his identity as a time traveler. Instead, he has to express his appreciation for the behavior of such a riddler with high EQ, so as to show the tacit understanding between the two parties. .Even if he really wanted to inquire about something, he had no choice but to ask Xiang Liang Beiyan to make inferences and try to deduce the truth.

Since the last time he explained to Bei Yan and others, Xiao Xuan's defense against these people has also been greatly reduced. In addition to taking medicine and infusions to suppress the fungus, he is also willing to meet with Xiang Liang to chat more often.Bei Yan even went out of his way to kindly persuade him not to pretend to be sick in bed to avoid the world, but to go out for a walk.

"During Cao Wei's time, Sima Yi was bedridden and unable to take care of himself. He couldn't eat and was almost paralyzed. Cao Shuang let down his vigilance, but Sima Yi took the opportunity to usurp power." Bei Yan said calmly, "Young Master Xiao, you don't want to Do we have any doubts about you?"

Xiao Xuan stared at Bei Yan expressionlessly for a quarter of an hour, finally got up from the bed, got dressed and got out of bed.

In general, the communication between the two parties is so simple and exciting, full of tiger-wolf words that can make normal people faint.But Xiao Xuan quickly adapted to these tiger and wolf words.At the beginning, he was still trembling all over and covering his face without answering, but now he can basically remain expressionless, as if he has been tortured out of his tough psychological defense.

Today, Xiang Liang and Bei Yan chatted with him, and casually mentioned King Qi's arrangements for the past few days.After the explanation, Xiang Liang added an extra sigh:

"Our ally can really take the edge of the sword."

Xiao Xuan lowered her head and remained silent, her expression was as calm as water, but she subconsciously raised her vigilance and listened to Bei Yan's answer.

As expected, Bei Yan spoke.

"That's why they can sit firmly in that position." He said indifferently: "This is called professionalism—the first principle of political struggle, and only official denials can be trusted..."

Xiao Xuan suddenly raised her head, her face was completely distorted in an instant.Although his mentality was as firm as a rock after going through thousands of blows in the past few days, Bei Yan still pierced his defense line with a soft sentence.He stared at Bei Yan with infinite astonishment, the expression on his face changed so much that it was hard to describe, but there was only one in the center:

Ah, can this be said too? !

Although Xiao Xuan's whole body was about to be shaken into place, Bei Yan and Xiang Liang didn't care.They briefly mentioned King Qi's actions, and then talked about the details of trying medical and aesthetic medicine in Chang'an City.Of course, the safety of drugs is not a problem, but now the difficulty is how to recruit experimenters-of course, the refugees in the Middle Ages could not understand what "drugs" and what "risks" are; but conducting experiments without explaining will inevitably lead to deception Suspicion, and maybe there will be some unstoppable rumors.

Xiao Xuan silently followed behind the two, and after listening to a few words, her expression changed, and finally she couldn't help but interrupted:

"You are testing medicine in Chang'an... do you still need the consent of those civilians?"

Xiang Liang looked back at him, and couldn't help but feel a little compassion in his heart.The medicine man probably never imagined that he had the "freedom" to avoid testing medicine, so he sighed and nodded sympathetically:

"People are not pigs and dogs, how can they be treated like this?"

Xiao Xuan lowered her eyes again.After such a moment of silence, he finally spoke softly:

"His Royal Highness King Hengyang stayed in the alchemy room of the palace until he was five years old, and then he was released from the alchemy room by Emperor Xiaozhangwu of Ming Dynasty Qingjun and Deng Dabao. At that time, King Hengyang had already remembered the past. I can't forget... After he regained his sanity, he once prayed to Emperor Xiaozhangwu of Ming Dynasty to demolish the alchemy room and release all the imprisoned medicine people. At that time, King Hengyang confessed his heart and said, "Medicine people are not beasts, so you can't treat them like this '."

Xiang Liang was astonished.Xiao Xuan has always been secretive about the matter of King Hengyang, and this is the first time he has mentioned the past of the two parties frankly.But this also solved their doubts, at least they knew how Xiao Xuan left the palace and settled in Jiankang.But then came doubts:

"So that's how you got out of trouble? Then why don't you go far and fly high, but still linger in Jiankang?"

Xiao Xuan smiled, but her expression was quite indifferent.

"Emperor Xiaozhangwu of Ming Dynasty is a very loving father." He said softly: "At that time, King Hengyang kowtowed his head to pray, his face was covered with blood, and the emperor couldn't restrain himself from licking his calf. Satisfy Aiko's entreaties. But no matter how loving the emperor is, he is still an emperor. Of course, His Majesty cannot be without worries..."

Even Bei Yan was shocked at this moment.The implication of Xiao Xuan's words could not be more straightforward. Although the "Emperor Xiaozhangwu of Ming Dynasty" loves his youngest son, his desire for longevity is obviously as hot as the emperors of all dynasties.Sending Xiao Xuan away is just an expedient measure to appease Aizi. As long as King Hengyang forgets these sympathetic medicine men, then the elixir pharmacy that uses living people to test medicines will be restored immediately, and it may even be even more cruel—— Most of the experimental data has been lost, so it is definitely necessary to go through the experimental process again on Yaoren...

So he couldn't help feeling: "This is too disrespectful!"

In this way, it is no wonder that Xiao Xuan hesitated.The so-called scolding his father to his son is rude, and he directly pointed out that his father is a sinister and cunning hypocrite in front of King Hengyang. This is obviously extremely inappropriate in the moral view of the Middle Ages.The so-called taboo for the venerable is taboo for the father, this should never be something that the courtiers can hear and discuss.According to secular ethics, both Bei Yan and Xiang Liang should cover their ears and retreat resolutely, never having a word with Xiao Xuan from then on—or simply cut off their tongues and ears, so as to avoid the danger of leaking the secret forever.This is the principle of being loyal to the Lord.

But the two people present were obviously not willing to go through the process, and they were not even willing to pretend to be a trivial matter such as fainting on the spot after being shocked.Bei Yan simply spoke directly:

"So you were taken back by Emperor Xiaozhangwu of the Ming Dynasty?"

Much to her surprise, Xiao Xuan shook her head.

"Emperor Xiaozhangwu of the Ming Dynasty reigned for ten years, and every year he would send someone to send me a box of pastries made of mung beans, but he never explained a word to me." Xiao Xuan said softly: "But it doesn't matter if you don't explain, I also know very well that these cakes are of different shapes and colors, but they are all the favorite things that King Hengyang ate when he was in Danfang... So, as long as there is such a box of cakes every year, the Supreme Being cares about his son, so he should not act rashly. I will be able to linger on and live a peaceful life for a year."

Bei Yan couldn't help being silent.After a long time, he supported the bone conduction transmitter next to his ear, before speaking in a low voice:

"Emperor Xiaozhangwu of the Ming Dynasty was just thirty when he ascended the throne. He was always young and strong, so he was not so eager for the longevity medicine. It may not be because of King Hengyang that he let you go..."

Xiao Xuan's expression changed immediately.He raised his eyes and suddenly looked directly at Bei Yan, and in an instant, a cold light like a sword burst out from his clear eyes, sharp and fierce, and suddenly pushed Bei Yan back a step!

This person has obviously been idle on the sickbed for so long, but King Kong still has such majesty when he is glaring!

But such a hard-edged stare was only for a moment.Soon Xiao Xuan lowered her eyes, as if she was still indifferent and calm, with a calm expression.

But his tone was not calm.

"Bei Yuguan." Xiao Xuan said: "I don't know if these words are your meaning, or His Highness's instruction?"

Bei Yan was dumbfounded for an instant, he was both ashamed after being shocked suddenly, and surprised and afraid of being exposed.He instinctively wanted to refute, but caught a glimpse of Xiang Liang shaking his head slightly at him.

Seeing that Bei Yan was silent, Xiao Xuan turned to look back.But all I could see were the fluttering leaves, flowers and plants, and there seemed to be no suspicious shadows.

Mu Chen suddenly shrank down from the window sill, and subconsciously turned off the microphone in his throat.

Of course this is actually unnecessary.The location of the attic where he is located is extremely ingenious, unless one carefully looks at it from a high place after the flowers and willows are scattered, it is absolutely impossible to see the clues hidden by the trees.On the contrary, the attic is high and looking far away, overlooking the entire garden from the window sill, even the figures under the flowers and plants are clear.

This is the exquisite wisdom honed by the aristocratic family after hundreds of years of struggle with the refugees and barbarians.They have set up concealed and strong fortresses at the throats of the manor. The manor owner only needs to bring one or two hundred elite guards to guard the key points, so that he can spy on the enemy's adaptability and easily control the situation within a few miles.In order to provide long-term defense and residence, the fortress also prepared a variety of extremely exquisite utensils, which can be sent continuously from the trails.In the past few days, Muchen lived and ate here, and used headphones to listen to the real-time conversations of several people in his free time.

It stands to reason that such a hidden hiding place is absolutely impossible to be discovered, but Mu Chen is inexplicably vigilant in his heart, always a little frightened and shocked:

"...This person won't really find me, will he? Is the perception so good?"

He took off the wireless earphones, and couldn't help but scratched his arm again - the white skin on his forearm was blushing, like a symptom of allergic rash.
