Although Ximen Duohong is the chief palace lord of the Demon Palace, he is free and unrestrained by nature. He is also a man in the world, and he doesn't care about the details of life. He often goes to the land of Fengyue just to relieve his desires. He has never enjoyed it quietly. Such unspoken tenderness.
Looking at Hua Jingxiang again, her appearance is overwhelming, but she doesn't show a trace of seductiveness.The movements were smooth and gentle, and Ximen Duohong's unrepentant heart couldn't help but move again, and suddenly smiled and said: "Hua Jingxiang, your name is so beautiful, I have seen countless people in this palace, but if you talk about the real beauty, you are the only one worthy of the name.”
As soon as these words came out, Ximen Duohong felt a little regretful, secretly thinking when did he become so menglang, although it was unintentional, but such teasing words should not be said, especially for a strong-tempered person like Hua Jingxiang, How can you like these words?
Unexpectedly, Hua Jingxiang wasn't upset, he just lowered his head and straightened Ximen Duohong's belt, and said with a faint smile: "Why did the palace master say that? Don't talk about others, but those famous celebrities in the restaurant, I will It’s not comparable, the reason why the old bustard used methods to force me to submit was because I saw me submissive and thought I was easy to bully.”
"No." Ximen Duohong saw that Hua Jingxiang was able to talk about this topic without changing his face, obviously he had wiped out the shadow of the past, and he was also happy in his heart.
Immediately he laughed and said: "In terms of appearance, although you are extremely beautiful, you are not the most beautiful one. However, the so-called beauty should take flowers as their appearance, the moon as their god, jade as their bones, ice and snow as their skin, and poetry as their heart." , other people have this and lack that, only you, all actions and behaviors are beautiful, so I say you are a real beauty."
When the words fell, Hua Jingxiang couldn't help but smiled again, shaking her head and said: "This praise, really, how can people bear it? My Grand Palace Mistress, what you said just now, although the words are extremely beautiful, but it is true. Ladies, don’t you think that villain’s demeanor and speech are also full of makeup?”
Ximen Duohong was taken aback, and quickly clarified: "I can't say that, I don't think you are sissy, I just think you are beautiful, and the beauty is just right, who stipulates that a beautiful man must be feminine, if so , the ancient Pan An Song Yu is not so loved and praised by so many people."
While the two were talking, they had already tried on all the clothes, they were all very suitable, and they looked very elegant and elegant, Hua Jingxiang was quite satisfied, and said to herself: "Those tailors are very careful, These clothes are really nice."
Ximen Duohong smiled and said: "In this case, you can go down and give a reward. I heard from the manager that because I am too busy these days, I have assigned a few things to you. Everyone praises you for doing a good job. After waiting This year, I will ask the manager to assign you some things to take care of. You have to do your best. The manager is getting older. I want him to retire in the next year or two to enjoy the happiness. Choose one of the stewards to succeed him."
Hua Jingxiang's heart moved, knowing that Ximen Duohong was hinting at herself.He raised his head and glanced at the other party, then lowered his head suddenly and said quietly: "The palace lord has given me the grace of rebuilding, now I can be in this palace and not have to live a life of flesh and blood leaning on the door, I am already very satisfied, how can I do it again?" Dare to expect anything else. Moreover, since you are the Chief Palace Mistress, you should be somewhat defensive. After all, I am an outsider, so how can you entrust this person to me."
Ximen Duohong laughed loudly. While watching Hua Jingxiang put all the clothes into the box, he sat on the chair and said, "After trying on the clothes for a long time, my hair is a little loose. Can you comb it? If not, I will Let someone else come over, and if you can, please give me a hairpin, the so-called one guest does not bother two hosts."
Hua Jingxiang was angry and funny, she shook her head secretly, thinking that the palace master is also a person with both civil and military skills, why sometimes people laugh when he speaks.
While thinking about it, he stepped forward and put Ximen Duohong's hair down, and combed it carefully for him, but he heard Ximen Duohong say: "You said that I am not defensive, I will not admit it, I have no defensive heart Can I live to this day? It’s just that you and I are very close. To put it bluntly, you are the one who saved my life and redeemed my life. You must be extra careful when you do things. You know how to repay your kindness, hehe.”
Hua Jingxiang said seriously: "Palace Master's words are not bad. You gave me my whole life, not to mention that this magic palace is my home now. If the home is good, I will be fine naturally. There is no reason not to take care of it." .”
Ximen Duohong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "That's it, so you said, I will let you be the manager in the future, isn't it appropriate?" Before they finished speaking, both of them smiled.
After the fifteenth day, several sub-masters of the Demon Palace also arrived, and Ximen Duohong was very happy. Since everyone built sub-palaces in various places, the brothers could no longer spend time studying martial arts together day and night like before.
It's just that I was happy in my heart, but my mouth refused to relax, and said coldly: "You guys, now that this year is over, why are you here? Are you going to celebrate February [-]?"
February [-] is the last festival during the Spring Festival period. As the saying goes, "After February [-], the long line is released." That is to say, after February [-], you have to wait another year to celebrate the Spring Festival.
Nangong Jiangdu and the others all responded with a smile, but Ximen Yanran didn't say a word. Ximen Duohong looked at his appearance like a living dead, couldn't help sighing, shook his head and said: "Awesome, now it's a The lord of the palace is now, the expression on this face should also change."
Ximen Renran naturally didn't listen to him, and everyone didn't care.While the brothers were chatting and laughing, they saw a person walking in from the door, and said salutingly: "Prince Chief, ladies and gentlemen, the banquet is ready, please move to Qinmeixuan for dinner."
As soon as Hua Jingxiang spoke, everyone's eyes fell on him, and they all praised: "Scholarly family, what a beautiful person, it's rare to have such a generous attitude, Duohong, you are becoming more and more knowledgeable now." It’s possible.”
Hua Jingxiang smiled slightly, lowered her head and said nothing, but Ximen Duohong smiled and said: "Of course, you are all overlords now. As the chief palace here, I have to come up with some decent people. He called Hua Jingxiang was taken into the palace by me last year, regardless of the frailty of life, it might be done, and after a few more days of experience, I will let him take over the position of chief steward."
When Hua Jingxiang heard the word "weak and weak", she couldn't help wrinkling her nose quietly, her movements were very cute.When Ximen Duohong said that he was going to take over as the manager, he couldn't help being surprised and his eyes widened, thinking what's going on?
Didn't you hint a few years ago that you would compete with a few other candidates?How come this year has passed, and I have become the default choice. Did I do a few wonderful things during the Chinese New Year?I didn't realize it either, it was nothing more than trivial things.
Therefore, the fate between people is really amazing. Although Ximen Duohong and Hua Jingxiang did not fall in love at first sight, they hit each other at first sight. There are quite some tricks, even if they are a little procrastinating, in the eyes of Chief Palace Master Ximen, they are also very perfect.
Winter is coming and spring is coming, and in a blink of an eye it will be the days when the spring breeze and flowers are fragrant.The old butler in the palace who had served Ximen and his son for decades finally retired and went to the residence specially arranged by Ximen Duohong to entertain his grandchildren. It fell on Hua Jingxiang.
Although Hua Jingxiang became the chief steward at a young age, he is fair, gentle, and extremely intelligent. After several major events have been handled, no one in the entire palace does not admire him.Coupled with his natural frailty, he was naturally more lovable when he was mixed among the martial arts masters in the main palace, so he was very palatable.
Ximen Duohong was also very surprised by this phenomenon. Where there are people, there are always selfish desires, and when there are selfish desires, there will be fights. His Demon Palace General Palace is no exception. He thought that Hua Jingxiang's qualifications were still inexperienced, so he accepted the position of chief manager There will be criticism, and someone will secretly trip him up, so he has already made preparations to protect him.
Unexpectedly, these plans were useless.
So one day when he met the spring-faced Manager Hua in the garden, the Grand Palace Mistress couldn't help but "indignantly" said: "I only know that you have become the manager. I don't know how many people will hate you, but now it seems that you have cleaned up the flowers." I really don’t understand, you are a frail scholar, what kind of tricks do you have, I think in a year or so, the whole palace probably only knows you but not me.”
Hua Jingxiang also knew that Ximen Duohong was joking, so she quickly bowed and said with a smile: "Although the palace master's words are a joke, they are not nonsense. , if you have a different heart, call me God..."
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by Ximen Duohong, and he said with a smile: "What are you swearing, I still don't believe you? What's more, even if you have the heart to seize power, you take What snatch? You can’t even take a horse’s step.”
Hua Jingxiang nodded and said: "This is serious and reasonable. I also wanted to learn it, but Brother Xu said that my skeleton is already formed. At most, I can only strengthen my body, and I can't become a master. Then I squatted for half an hour Mabu, it's really hard work, and there are many affairs in the palace, so I put it down."
The two talked for a while in the garden and then separated.
Since then, Ximen Duohong has more trust and admiration for Hua Jingxiang.Although one is the chief palace lord and the other is the chief steward, they are both busy with business, but they are all dealing with the affairs of the chief palace, so there is always a chance to meet each other every day. After all, Hua Jingxiang is only the chief steward, and many things still need to be reported to Ximen Duohong determined.
In the twinkling of an eye, another year has passed, and now even several palace masters know that there is such a steward in the main palace, who is deeply loved and appreciated by his brothers, who handles things cleanly and neatly, but is gentle and gracious. There is no one who doesn't like him, he is so hot, let's put it this way, if Hua Jingxiang knows martial arts and fights back, it is really uncertain who the loyal subordinates in the main palace will follow.
Of course, this is just a joke.Ximen Duohong heard this, and also used it to tease Hua Jingxiang, seeing how annoyed and angry he was, he couldn't help feeling relieved.
Early in the morning of this day, Ximen Duohong happily changed his clothes, and took a few subordinates with high martial arts skills to go hunting in the west of the city, while Hua Jingxiang stayed in the palace to handle some affairs.
Seeing that it was getting closer to dusk, but Ximen Duohong was nowhere to be seen, Hua Jingxiang was a little worried. The secret palace master is a very self-controlled person, hunting is just for entertainment, and he usually comes back after noon on weekdays. What is going on today? What's going on?
Thinking of this, and remembering that Ximen Duohong, as the chief palace lord of the Demon Palace, has made many enemies, not to mention that there is a forest of flowers, his brows frowned, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, he left the room and found a The captain of the guard said: "The palace lord hasn't come back yet, you send someone to look for it, don't have any accidents, it would be terrible."
The captain of the guards smiled and said: "Mr. Hua, don't worry, the Palace Master is a top expert, even the guards around him, as well as the shadow guards who never show their faces, all have extraordinary martial arts. After all, they are the Chief Palace Master. How can we Maybe you are not careful? The palace lord doesn't like these things, but this is arranged by the old palace lord, otherwise we really don't know what to do with him..."
This captain of the guard has the potential to shine like a lotus tongue.Hua Jingxiang only listened for a while, sweating on his forehead, thinking that I have to remember in the future, I can’t talk to him with anyone, who knows that a person who looks so stable on weekdays has two eyes when he talks Are they all shining outside?Could it be that you never had a chance to speak when you were young?
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly heard movement at the gate, he was overjoyed, secretly thought that the palace lord had returned, he quickly turned around and left, and the captain of the guard hurriedly followed.
Hua Jingxiang was taken aback by the sight of the entrance, and saw a few guards running in carrying Ximen Duohong, yelling to find Dr. Gong.
Hua Jingxiang knew that Dr. Gong was the most skilled doctor in Jianghu Chinese medicine, because he had a powerful enemy and was rescued by the old palace master when he was hunted down. The one who took the initiative to treat people, and now the guards called him to invite him as soon as he opened his mouth, it must be that Ximen Duohong had something serious.
So he quickly ordered someone to invite the old doctor, and this side stepped forward to check in detail.After looking at it, he couldn't help being taken aback, and exclaimed: "This is the poison of the golden thread earthworm, how...how could it be? How could the palace master encounter such a thing?" Perhaps because of nervousness, Even the voice changed.
Several guards looked up at him in amazement, and said in amazement: "Do you know what kind of poison this is? That's great, hurry up and save the Palace Master..."
Hua Jingxiang looked at the guards again, and saw that they were all covered with colors, so she knew that the two Duohongs had been ambushed, so she didn't have time to ask carefully, so she hurriedly ordered someone to carry Ximen Duohong back to the bed in the house. Then Dr. Gong also rushed over, he was indeed a quack doctor with excellent medical skills, he also recognized the poison of the golden thread earthworm, but the old doctor didn't know how to detoxify it, he just walked around like ants on a hot pot.
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. If even Gong Qingfeng couldn't detoxify Ximen Duohong, who else could the world rely on.Some old people in the palace who watched Ximen Duohong grow up thought that the chief palace lord of Invincible Tianxia would die so young, and couldn't help but want to let out a cry of grief.
A few times of crying and howling just started, when I heard an extremely clear voice saying: "Don't be sad and anxious, let me try."
Everyone looked back, only to see Hua Jingxiang, dressed in white, walking in at some point, holding a small delicate box in his hand, and his face, which was always smiling gently, was tense at this moment. Yes, it looks serious and serious.
Everyone backed away in a daze, even Gong Qingfeng looked at the young manager in disbelief.
Hua Jingxiang ignored everyone's gaze, and went straight to Ximen Duohong's bed, only to see that handsome and outstanding face was covered with ugly pale golden lines at this time, as if covered by The earthworm under the skin wriggled slightly, indescribably weird and terrifying.
Hua Jingxiang frowned even tighter, and slowly opened the delicate box with both hands.Gong Qingfeng stretched out his head to look, and saw that this exquisite needle box was very different from other needle boxes. The other boxes were filled with silver needles of different lengths and sizes.However, inside this box are thin needles of the same length and size, but of different colors, five colors of gold, red, green, blue and yellow.
At that moment, Old Doctor Gong was startled, thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and muttered: "Isn't it? This... This is the legendary Five Elements Needle, no, no, I must be dazzled." , the five-element magic needle has only appeared in the world for a short period of three years, and has been extinct for 500 years, how could it appear in the world today?"
Hua Jingxiang didn't have time to explain, his eyes focused on Ximen Duohong's face and body, suddenly he let out a "huh" and leaned over to grab Ximen Duohong's right hand. Clench into a fist, as if holding something.
Hua Jingxiang's face became more dignified. It is naturally very, very important for Ximen Duohong to hold on to the object that he refuses to let go under such circumstances.He broke it twice, but didn't break it open. In the end, two guards stepped forward and used their internal strength to open the hand.
On the palm of Ximen Duohong, there was a thin and long earthworm lying impressively. Although compared with the real earthworm, this unknown worm looks too short and thin, and its color is also that kind of glowing. It has a pale gold color, but it is exactly the same as an earthworm, and people can't help but think of that kind of little creature that just rolls in the soil at the first moment.
Ximen Duohong's palm was already bloody and bloody, but the blood didn't touch the earthworm's body at all, so the light golden thing was particularly eye-catching.
Hua Jingxiang took a deep breath, eyes filled with surprise and awe, looking at Ximen Duohong whose life was hanging by a thread on the bed, after a while Fang Changchang sighed and said: "Now I finally know, ruthless character, Palace Master, You really are a ruthless character."
Everyone couldn't understand what he said. He was about to ask, but Hua Jingxiang's dignified face relaxed again, and a soft smile appeared. It was like the clouds blooming and the moon and snow disappearing flowers in an instant. After a moment of suffocation, they all secretly thought that the flower manager's smile was too lethal.
Of course Hua Jingxiang didn't know what everyone was thinking, he twisted out five red thin needles from the needle box, picked up the little thing in Ximen Duohong's hand, and said with a smile: "With the corpse of the golden thread earthworm , the Palace Master will be saved."
As he spoke, he stuffed the golden thread earthworm into Ximen Duohong's mouth in full view, and then ordered the guards around him to help him with internal force, so that the palace lord could swallow the earthworm.
The faces of the two guards who were named turned pale, staring at the beautiful young man in horror, tremblingly said: "Mr. We helped you get this thing into his stomach, he... he will definitely kill us..."
Hua Jingxiang's delicate sword eyebrows were about to stand up, and she scolded in a harsh tone never before: "Confused, is life more important or cleanliness is more important? You just do it. If the palace master blames me, I will naturally bear everything. What's more , do you have to let the Palace Master know that this thing has entered his stomach? There are so many people here, as long as everyone doesn’t tell, who will know?”
All the guards looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking in their hearts that although Mr. Hua's remarks were really bold.But it is indeed very reasonable, as long as everyone does not tell the Palace Master, the Palace Master will not know.If someone tells you, hehe, I'm sorry, but you were all standing in this room that day. Of course we were guilty of helping, but you who watched were also accomplices. If you dare to sue, everyone will be slaughtered together.
The more the two guards thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense, not to mention that the palace lord's life was indeed important.Therefore, even though he was still panicking in his heart, he still reached out his hand firmly, and helped Hua Jingxiang lower the earthworm into the belly of Chief Palace Mistress Ximen.
Then Huajingxiang moved his fingers like flying, and quickly inserted five-element needles into several acupuncture points around Ximen Duohong's body. Strange to say, after one needle was inserted, Ximen Duohong's terrifyingly distorted face seemed to recover a little. Even the hideous and terrifying lines have also been reduced.
Everyone was amazed.
The old doctor Gong also couldn't help but admired: "It's hidden, it's really hidden. Who would have thought that the soft and weak little brother Hua, his medical skills are already superb. , but I don’t know who you are from?” Because of the old doctor’s age and seniority, he is called Hua Jingxiang instead of the manager, and only Hua Xiaogeer.
Hua Jingxiang didn't wipe the sweat from her head until after the injection, and said with a smile: "I just learned these things from that weird man in my family when my family was not in the right place, and he only taught me how to use poison to cure poison." He didn’t teach me other skills, but he did leave behind the Five Elements Needle, but who he is, even the parents who took him in don’t know.”
Old Doctor Gong nodded and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that the God of Medicine of that generation actually lived in seclusion in the marketplace. It's sad, pitiful, sad..." While talking, he shook his head and sighed frequently.
Hua Jingxiang didn't have the heart to take care of the old doctor's emotions, so he took a closer look at Ximen Duohong's face, and felt that the pale golden lines had faded a bit, he breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the golden thread earthworm digests it, it will match With the guidance of the five-element needle, the poison can be completely eliminated.”
After speaking, he stood up and said: "Okay, everyone has been frightened by this, now the Palace Master is fine, let's go to rest."
After all, seeing that everyone was still lingering and refusing to leave, he couldn't help but laughed and cursed: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will kill the palace master? Before noon tomorrow, I will definitely give you back the palace master who is full of energy, otherwise you will kill me." killed."
When he said this, the guards didn't even dare to say anything, and they left with confidence one by one, and a few maidservants came to ask for instructions on how to serve and prepare for the night.
Hua Jingxiang smiled and said: "Just leave two of them outside to take care of them, and I need to give the needles two more times. I will stay here tonight, but I have to work hard for my sisters to go to the kitchen to pass some meals to eat, otherwise this hungry It's really hard."
One sentence made those maids laugh, who wouldn't want to serve the beautiful and gentle manager?After a while, maidservants came over with two large food boxes, both of which were exquisite dishes, Hua Jingxiang didn't have a lot of food, so she put down her chopsticks after a few mouthfuls, and asked the maidservants to order the kitchen to make some porridge for preparation.
There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn, after the last injection of acupuncture, Ximen Duohong slowly opened his eyes.Hua Jingxiang was greatly surprised, clapped his palms and smiled, "Scholarly family, "It really is the palace master, who wakes up so quickly, I only thought it would be around noon, but now I'm fine, my life can be saved."
"Jingxiang? How could it be you? Where am I?" Ximen Duohong seemed to want to sit up, but Hua Jingxiang hurried forward to stop him, shaking his head and said, "The poison in your body has just been detoxified, so stop it Let's have some." After finishing speaking, he shouted outside: "Go to the kitchen and bring the porridge and side dishes, it should be light."
Then he turned around and said with a smile: "Palace Master, this is your room, don't you recognize it? As for why I am here, it is naturally because I detoxified you. Fortunately, the palace lord is overbearing and unexpectedly Regardless of the severe pain, I held the golden thread earthworm tightly in my hand and suffocated it to death, otherwise the poison would not have been so smoothly detoxified."
Looking at Hua Jingxiang again, her appearance is overwhelming, but she doesn't show a trace of seductiveness.The movements were smooth and gentle, and Ximen Duohong's unrepentant heart couldn't help but move again, and suddenly smiled and said: "Hua Jingxiang, your name is so beautiful, I have seen countless people in this palace, but if you talk about the real beauty, you are the only one worthy of the name.”
As soon as these words came out, Ximen Duohong felt a little regretful, secretly thinking when did he become so menglang, although it was unintentional, but such teasing words should not be said, especially for a strong-tempered person like Hua Jingxiang, How can you like these words?
Unexpectedly, Hua Jingxiang wasn't upset, he just lowered his head and straightened Ximen Duohong's belt, and said with a faint smile: "Why did the palace master say that? Don't talk about others, but those famous celebrities in the restaurant, I will It’s not comparable, the reason why the old bustard used methods to force me to submit was because I saw me submissive and thought I was easy to bully.”
"No." Ximen Duohong saw that Hua Jingxiang was able to talk about this topic without changing his face, obviously he had wiped out the shadow of the past, and he was also happy in his heart.
Immediately he laughed and said: "In terms of appearance, although you are extremely beautiful, you are not the most beautiful one.

When the words fell, Hua Jingxiang couldn't help but smiled again, shaking her head and said: "This praise, really, how can people bear it?

Ximen Duohong laughed loudly. While watching Hua Jingxiang put all the clothes into the box, he sat on the chair and said, "After trying on the clothes for a long time, my hair is a little loose. Can you comb it? If not, I will Let someone else come over, and if you can, please give me a hairpin, the so-called one guest does not bother two hosts."

After the fifteenth day, several sub-masters of the Demon Palace also arrived, and Ximen Duohong was very happy. Since everyone built sub-palaces in various places, the brothers could no longer spend time studying martial arts together day and night like before.

So one day when he met the spring-faced Manager Hua in the garden, the Grand Palace Mistress couldn't help but "indignantly" said: "I only know that you have become the manager. I don't know how many people will hate you, but now it seems that you have cleaned up the flowers." I really don’t understand, you are a frail scholar, what kind of tricks do you have, I think in a year or so, the whole palace probably only knows you but not me.”
Hua Jingxiang also knew that Ximen Duohong was joking, so she quickly bowed and said with a smile: "Although the palace master's words are a joke, they are not nonsense. , if you have a different heart, call me God..."
Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by Ximen Duohong, and he said with a smile: "What are you swearing, I still don't believe you? What's more, even if you have the heart to seize power, you take What snatch? You can’t even take a horse’s step.”
Hua Jingxiang nodded and said: "This is serious and reasonable. I also wanted to learn it, but Brother Xu said that my skeleton is already formed. At most, I can only strengthen my body, and I can't become a master. Then I squatted for half an hour Mabu, it's really hard work, and there are many affairs in the palace, so I put it down."
The two talked for a while in the garden and then separated.
Since then, Ximen Duohong has more trust and admiration for Hua Jingxiang.Although one is the chief palace lord and the other is the chief steward, they are both busy with business, but they are all dealing with the affairs of the chief palace, so there is always a chance to meet each other every day. After all, Hua Jingxiang is only the chief steward, and many things still need to be reported to Ximen Duohong determined.
In the twinkling of an eye, another year has passed, and now even several palace masters know that there is such a steward in the main palace, who is deeply loved and appreciated by his brothers, who handles things cleanly and neatly, but is gentle and gracious. There is no one who doesn't like him, he is so hot, let's put it this way, if Hua Jingxiang knows martial arts and fights back, it is really uncertain who the loyal subordinates in the main palace will follow.
Of course, this is just a joke.Ximen Duohong heard this, and also used it to tease Hua Jingxiang, seeing how annoyed and angry he was, he couldn't help feeling relieved.
Early in the morning of this day, Ximen Duohong happily changed his clothes, and took a few subordinates with high martial arts skills to go hunting in the west of the city, while Hua Jingxiang stayed in the palace to handle some affairs.
Seeing that it was getting closer to dusk, but Ximen Duohong was nowhere to be seen, Hua Jingxiang was a little worried. The secret palace master is a very self-controlled person, hunting is just for entertainment, and he usually comes back after noon on weekdays. What is going on today? What's going on?
Thinking of this, and remembering that Ximen Duohong, as the chief palace lord of the Demon Palace, has made many enemies, not to mention that there is a forest of flowers, his brows frowned, his body trembled slightly, and after a while, he left the room and found a The captain of the guard said: "The palace lord hasn't come back yet, you send someone to look for it, don't have any accidents, it would be terrible."
The captain of the guards smiled and said: "Mr. Hua, don't worry, the Palace Master is a top expert, even the guards around him, as well as the shadow guards who never show their faces, all have extraordinary martial arts. After all, they are the Chief Palace Master. How can we Maybe you are not careful? The palace lord doesn't like these things, but this is arranged by the old palace lord, otherwise we really don't know what to do with him..."
This captain of the guard has the potential to shine like a lotus tongue.Hua Jingxiang only listened for a while, sweating on his forehead, thinking that I have to remember in the future, I can’t talk to him with anyone, who knows that a person who looks so stable on weekdays has two eyes when he talks Are they all shining outside?Could it be that you never had a chance to speak when you were young?
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly heard movement at the gate, he was overjoyed, secretly thought that the palace lord had returned, he quickly turned around and left, and the captain of the guard hurriedly followed.
Hua Jingxiang was taken aback by the sight of the entrance, and saw a few guards running in carrying Ximen Duohong, yelling to find Dr. Gong.
Hua Jingxiang knew that Dr. Gong was the most skilled doctor in Jianghu Chinese medicine, because he had a powerful enemy and was rescued by the old palace master when he was hunted down. The one who took the initiative to treat people, and now the guards called him to invite him as soon as he opened his mouth, it must be that Ximen Duohong had something serious.
So he quickly ordered someone to invite the old doctor, and this side stepped forward to check in detail.After looking at it, he couldn't help being taken aback, and exclaimed: "This is the poison of the golden thread earthworm, how...how could it be? How could the palace master encounter such a thing?" Perhaps because of nervousness, Even the voice changed.
Several guards looked up at him in amazement, and said in amazement: "Do you know what kind of poison this is? That's great, hurry up and save the Palace Master..."
Hua Jingxiang looked at the guards again, and saw that they were all covered with colors, so she knew that the two Duohongs had been ambushed, so she didn't have time to ask carefully, so she hurriedly ordered someone to carry Ximen Duohong back to the bed in the house. Then Dr. Gong also rushed over, he was indeed a quack doctor with excellent medical skills, he also recognized the poison of the golden thread earthworm, but the old doctor didn't know how to detoxify it, he just walked around like ants on a hot pot.
Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. If even Gong Qingfeng couldn't detoxify Ximen Duohong, who else could the world rely on.Some old people in the palace who watched Ximen Duohong grow up thought that the chief palace lord of Invincible Tianxia would die so young, and couldn't help but want to let out a cry of grief.
A few times of crying and howling just started, when I heard an extremely clear voice saying: "Don't be sad and anxious, let me try."
Everyone looked back, only to see Hua Jingxiang, dressed in white, walking in at some point, holding a small delicate box in his hand, and his face, which was always smiling gently, was tense at this moment. Yes, it looks serious and serious.
Everyone backed away in a daze, even Gong Qingfeng looked at the young manager in disbelief.
Hua Jingxiang ignored everyone's gaze, and went straight to Ximen Duohong's bed, only to see that handsome and outstanding face was covered with ugly pale golden lines at this time, as if covered by The earthworm under the skin wriggled slightly, indescribably weird and terrifying.
Hua Jingxiang frowned even tighter, and slowly opened the delicate box with both hands.Gong Qingfeng stretched out his head to look, and saw that this exquisite needle box was very different from other needle boxes. The other boxes were filled with silver needles of different lengths and sizes.However, inside this box are thin needles of the same length and size, but of different colors, five colors of gold, red, green, blue and yellow.
At that moment, Old Doctor Gong was startled, thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes and muttered: "Isn't it? This... This is the legendary Five Elements Needle, no, no, I must be dazzled." , the five-element magic needle has only appeared in the world for a short period of three years, and has been extinct for 500 years, how could it appear in the world today?"
Hua Jingxiang didn't have time to explain, his eyes focused on Ximen Duohong's face and body, suddenly he let out a "huh" and leaned over to grab Ximen Duohong's right hand. Clench into a fist, as if holding something.
Hua Jingxiang's face became more dignified. It is naturally very, very important for Ximen Duohong to hold on to the object that he refuses to let go under such circumstances.He broke it twice, but didn't break it open. In the end, two guards stepped forward and used their internal strength to open the hand.
On the palm of Ximen Duohong, there was a thin and long earthworm lying impressively. Although compared with the real earthworm, this unknown worm looks too short and thin, and its color is also that kind of glowing. It has a pale gold color, but it is exactly the same as an earthworm, and people can't help but think of that kind of little creature that just rolls in the soil at the first moment.
Ximen Duohong's palm was already bloody and bloody, but the blood didn't touch the earthworm's body at all, so the light golden thing was particularly eye-catching.
Hua Jingxiang took a deep breath, eyes filled with surprise and awe, looking at Ximen Duohong whose life was hanging by a thread on the bed, after a while Fang Changchang sighed and said: "Now I finally know, ruthless character, Palace Master, You really are a ruthless character."
Everyone couldn't understand what he said. He was about to ask, but Hua Jingxiang's dignified face relaxed again, and a soft smile appeared. It was like the clouds blooming and the moon and snow disappearing flowers in an instant. After a moment of suffocation, they all secretly thought that the flower manager's smile was too lethal.
Of course Hua Jingxiang didn't know what everyone was thinking, he twisted out five red thin needles from the needle box, picked up the little thing in Ximen Duohong's hand, and said with a smile: "With the corpse of the golden thread earthworm , the Palace Master will be saved."
As he spoke, he stuffed the golden thread earthworm into Ximen Duohong's mouth in full view, and then ordered the guards around him to help him with internal force, so that the palace lord could swallow the earthworm.
The faces of the two guards who were named turned pale, staring at the beautiful young man in horror, tremblingly said: "Mr. We helped you get this thing into his stomach, he... he will definitely kill us..."
Hua Jingxiang's delicate sword eyebrows were about to stand up, and she scolded in a harsh tone never before: "Confused, is life more important or cleanliness is more important? You just do it. If the palace master blames me, I will naturally bear everything. What's more , do you have to let the Palace Master know that this thing has entered his stomach? There are so many people here, as long as everyone doesn’t tell, who will know?”
All the guards looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking in their hearts that although Mr. Hua's remarks were really bold.But it is indeed very reasonable, as long as everyone does not tell the Palace Master, the Palace Master will not know.If someone tells you, hehe, I'm sorry, but you were all standing in this room that day. Of course we were guilty of helping, but you who watched were also accomplices. If you dare to sue, everyone will be slaughtered together.
The more the two guards thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense, not to mention that the palace lord's life was indeed important.Therefore, even though he was still panicking in his heart, he still reached out his hand firmly, and helped Hua Jingxiang lower the earthworm into the belly of Chief Palace Mistress Ximen.
Then Huajingxiang moved his fingers like flying, and quickly inserted five-element needles into several acupuncture points around Ximen Duohong's body. Strange to say, after one needle was inserted, Ximen Duohong's terrifyingly distorted face seemed to recover a little. Even the hideous and terrifying lines have also been reduced.
Everyone was amazed.
The old doctor Gong also couldn't help but admired: "It's hidden, it's really hidden. Who would have thought that the soft and weak little brother Hua, his medical skills are already superb. , but I don’t know who you are from?” Because of the old doctor’s age and seniority, he is called Hua Jingxiang instead of the manager, and only Hua Xiaogeer.
Hua Jingxiang didn't wipe the sweat from her head until after the injection, and said with a smile: "I just learned these things from that weird man in my family when my family was not in the right place, and he only taught me how to use poison to cure poison." He didn’t teach me other skills, but he did leave behind the Five Elements Needle, but who he is, even the parents who took him in don’t know.”
Old Doctor Gong nodded and sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that the God of Medicine of that generation actually lived in seclusion in the marketplace. It's sad, pitiful, sad..." While talking, he shook his head and sighed frequently.
Hua Jingxiang didn't have the heart to take care of the old doctor's emotions, so he took a closer look at Ximen Duohong's face, and felt that the pale golden lines had faded a bit, he breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the golden thread earthworm digests it, it will match With the guidance of the five-element needle, the poison can be completely eliminated.”
After speaking, he stood up and said: "Okay, everyone has been frightened by this, now the Palace Master is fine, let's go to rest."
After all, seeing that everyone was still lingering and refusing to leave, he couldn't help but laughed and cursed: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will kill the palace master? Before noon tomorrow, I will definitely give you back the palace master who is full of energy, otherwise you will kill me." killed."
When he said this, the guards didn't even dare to say anything, and they left with confidence one by one, and a few maidservants came to ask for instructions on how to serve and prepare for the night.
Hua Jingxiang smiled and said: "Just leave two of them outside to take care of them, and I need to give the needles two more times. I will stay here tonight, but I have to work hard for my sisters to go to the kitchen to pass some meals to eat, otherwise this hungry It's really hard."
One sentence made those maids laugh, who wouldn't want to serve the beautiful and gentle manager?After a while, maidservants came over with two large food boxes, both of which were exquisite dishes, Hua Jingxiang didn't have a lot of food, so she put down her chopsticks after a few mouthfuls, and asked the maidservants to order the kitchen to make some porridge for preparation.
There was nothing to say all night, and at dawn, after the last injection of acupuncture, Ximen Duohong slowly opened his eyes.Hua Jingxiang was greatly surprised, clapped his palms and smiled, "Scholarly family, "It really is the palace master, who wakes up so quickly, I only thought it would be around noon, but now I'm fine, my life can be saved."
"Jingxiang? How could it be you? Where am I?" Ximen Duohong seemed to want to sit up, but Hua Jingxiang hurried forward to stop him, shaking his head and said, "The poison in your body has just been detoxified, so stop it Let's have some." After finishing speaking, he shouted outside: "Go to the kitchen and bring the porridge and side dishes, it should be light."
Then he turned around and said with a smile: "Palace Master, this is your room, don't you recognize it? As for why I am here, it is naturally because I detoxified you. Fortunately, the palace lord is overbearing and unexpectedly Regardless of the severe pain, I held the golden thread earthworm tightly in my hand and suffocated it to death, otherwise the poison would not have been so smoothly detoxified."
