Married Thrice to Salted Fish

"Odds change and even remain the same... Odds change and even remain the same..." Xiao Teng silently recited the so-called Xixia code words, and for a while had no clue. "It's been a while since you've seen the playbook." Xiao Teng said, "If you have an idea, just say it."

The prime minister thought deeply: "'Odd' is also the opposite of 'even'. 'Odd' changes, but 'even' remains the same... I think this is alluding to the time when the Xixia army marches: march on odd days and stop on even days .”

Minister of the Ministry of War thought carefully: "The word 'changing' is especially questionable. I think that this is a change in formation, and Xixia may use a changeable formation to attack our army."

The prince Xima pondered: "The theory of odd and even is often used in mathematics. I feel that this sentence is alluding to a certain method of mathematics."

The servant of the household department disagreed, and questioned: "What does the law of mathematics have to do with marching and fighting?"

……

Several people discussed for a long time, and everyone's statement was a little far-fetched, and they couldn't completely convince others.Xiao Cheng watched the group of officials arguing calmly, and when they calmed down, Fang said slowly: "Is it finished?"

The Prime Minister asked respectfully: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness what is your opinion?"

Xiao Cheng slowly blew the mist on the teacup, and said: "Gu Fuzhou said that this is the code word of Xixia, do you believe it?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.It is a serious crime to deceive the emperor by lying about the military situation. How could General Gu do such a thing?

The Minister of the Ministry of War probed: "What does Your Highness mean?"

Xiao Teng put down the teacup: "In the past three months, Gu Fuzhou's temperament has changed drastically, and his behavior has been suspicious. A while ago, he was arguing about going back to Beijing, and today he came up with an inexplicable code word from Xixia." Xiao Teng Eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm just wondering if this code word has something to do with his reason for returning to Beijing."

The prince Xima said: "Your Highness said this, and I also feel that there is something inappropriate. If the five characters of 'odd change and even change' are really confidential secrets of the Xixia Army, how can they be 'widely advertised'. Even in the The capital city under the emperor's feet will inevitably have enemy secret operations. General Gu wants me to do this, so I'm not afraid to scare the snake."

"General Gu is a warrior after all. He is eager to win, so it is normal for him to make omissions." The prime minister said, "His Royal Highness, the battle in the northwest is stalemate. I'd rather believe the secret words than believe them. In my opinion, This code word still needs to be solved.”

Xiao Cheng curled his lips and sneered: "Naturally, I have to solve it. After all, I really want to know what kind of medicine is sold in Gu Fuzhou's gourd. But I can't solve it according to his wish." Xiao Cheng thought for a while, and said, "'Guang Er Tell me, it’s waived, go find the gang of academicians from the Imperial Academy, let them slowly solve it in the side hall of Qinzheng Hall, and stay there if they can’t solve it. In addition, I don’t want unrelated people to know this A code word, do you understand?"

The academicians of the Hanlin Academy are all talents selected from a thousand miles. If they can't figure it out, how can ordinary people know.Minister of the Ministry of War praised: "Your Highness is wise."

The next day, there was not a single scholar in the Hanlin Academy located at the west gate of the palace, and no one knew what they were doing except themselves.The Tai Hospital, which stands opposite the Imperial Academy, is in business as usual.

Most of the people who came to the imperial hospital to invite imperial physicians were maids and eunuchs from various palaces.Just by looking at their clothes and postures, one can see their master's status in the palace.For example, a court lady who came here today is not particularly well-dressed, but she has a generous posture and a lot of temperament. The eunuchs of the imperial hospital are also very warm to her.It turned out that this person was a maid from Fengyi Palace, with a green waist.

As soon as the green waist entered the door of the imperial hospital, Chu Zhengde stood up: "The girl with the green waist is here, but the queen's phoenix body is ill? Wait for the old man to tidy up for a while, and then go to Fengyi Palace immediately."

"Emperor Chu, don't bother." Among the many on-duty imperial physicians, Lu Yao saw the most eye-catching one at a glance, "The Empress called for Imperial Physician Lin to check her Ping An pulse."

Chu Zhengde flicked his head and looked at Lin Qingyu suddenly, his beard shaking with anger: "He? How can a seventh-rank medical officer who just entered the imperial hospital take care of the queen's phoenix body?!"

Lin Qingyu glanced at Chu Zhengde and picked up the medical kit.

Also no brains.The Queen must not be looking for him for Ping'an Mai, if he guessed correctly, it should be for Lu Wancheng.

The green waist said indifferently: "I don't know about that. Doctor Lin, please follow me to Fengyi Palace."

Chu Zhengde stared at Lin Qingyu's leaving back, his beard was about to smoke: "Disrespect senior!"

Lin Qingyu arrived at Fengyi Palace and greeted the queen.He knelt on the ground, and was about to open the medical box when he heard the Queen say: "Don't bother, I didn't come to you today for this purpose—to save your life."

Lin Qingyu stood up, the queen looked him up and down, and said comfortingly: "You look good in this official uniform."

Lin Qingyu lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty is too famous."

"How are you doing in the Tai Hospital?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern."

"I have read Wan Cheng's suicide note." The queen looked disappointed, "He never left you every word, and earnestly begged me to return you to freedom. How could I, an aunt, refuse. Of course, it is true. You have the ability, otherwise you wouldn't be able to enter the Tai Hospital."

Lin Qingyu didn't have much interest in talking to the queen, so he stood still.The queen sighed, and said: "Wan Cheng should be very pleased to see your current appearance in the spirit of the sky. After all, it has been more than three months since Wan Cheng left."

Lin Qingyu's eyelashes trembled slightly: "Yes. There are still three days left, and it will be a hundred days."

"The days go by so fast." The queen said sadly, "I ordered someone to light an ever-burning lantern for Wan Cheng at the Changsheng Temple. If you have time, go to the temple to burn incense for him."

Lin Qingyu bowed and said: "This humble minister takes orders."

Two days later, Lin Qingyu took advantage of Xiumu and came to Changsheng Temple with Huantong.

The world is full of fragrance in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom.March is over, and the long winter days are finally over.Last year and today was also the time when that person was most alive.

The side hall of Changsheng Temple enshrines the tablet of Lu Wancheng.Lin Qingyu lit three sticks of incense with a light from the ever-burning lamp, bowed down three times, and placed the incense in front of the memorial tablet.

"Doctor Lin."

Lin Qingyu turned around and was not surprised to see the person coming: "Guard Shen."

Shen Huaizhi was still dressed in black, with a sword at his waist.As long as he is not by Xiao Teng's side or in the palace, he can be called magnificent. "Doctor Lin seems to have expected that I will come."

"I only guessed that you would come to look for me, but I didn't know that you would come to Changsheng Temple to look for me today." Lin Qingyu said calmly, "It seems that Guard Shen has been following me."

"I...I don't want to either." Shen Huaizhi whispered, "But it's always inconvenient to talk in the palace, I can only look for opportunities outside the palace—sorry." He walked to the ever-burning lamp and looked at Lu Wancheng's tablet Said, "Doctor Lin, is it difficult to resolve the pain of losing a husband?"

"It's okay, just find something for yourself."

Shen Huaizhi smiled miserably: "If everyone was as open-minded as Doctor Lin, there wouldn't be so many idiots complaining about women in the world."

Lin Qingyu was impatient with Shen Huaizhi in this sad spring and autumn: "You came to me because of the mark on my medical box?"

Shen Huaizhi nodded: "That's a secret code that only the people in the Heavenly Prison Gate of the Shen family know. But now, I'm the only one left in the Heavenly Prison Gate..." Shen Huaishi rolled his Adam's apple, "How did Doctor Lin know about it? "

Since these are all planned by Jiang, he has no need to hide it: "I don't know. This medical kit was given to me by my deceased husband."

"Master Lu? What about him..." Shen Huaizhi frowned and pondered for a moment, "Doctor Lin, where is that medical box now?"

"I pretty much carry it with me, right in the carriage."

Lin Qingyu asked Huantong to fetch the medical kit.Shen Huaizhi stroked the strange mark with his fingers, and asked, "Doctor Lin, can I take it apart and have a look?"

Lin Qingyu hesitated for a while, and said, "Please go ahead."

Shen Huaishi took out all the things in the medical box.After seeing several extremely fast sword lights, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the mahogany medical box, and after hearing a "bang", it cracked open.

Among the countless sawdust, a touch of emerald green was revealed.With a trembling breath, Shen Huaizhi picked up the emerald green - it was a jade tablet, and the word "heavenly prison" was engraved on one side of the jade tablet.

"How could it be..." Shen Huaizhi murmured in a low voice, "Heavenly Prison Gate is dead, and the jade tokens are all destroyed... Is there anyone still alive?"

Lin Qingyu said: "There is a line of small characters on the back of the jade plaque." Judging from the engraving of the small characters, it should have been engraved recently.

Shen Huaizhi turned over and looked: "Xuzhou, Suicheng..."

Lin Qingyu was thoughtful: "Xuzhou?"

The one surnamed Jiang wants to lure Shen Huaishi to Xuzhou to find the owner of this jade tablet?

Lin Qingyu asked: "Are you going?"

Shen Huaizhi did not hesitate: "Of course!"

Lin Qingyu sneered: "You are a shadow guard with high martial arts skills, and your mind is as simple as a child's. You trust my deceased husband so much?" Being led by the nose all the time, it's no wonder that you are so devoted to Xiao Cheng.The person surnamed Jiang probably knew this and did so.

Shen Huaizhi's chest heaved violently, his eyes were reddish and he said, "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will, will..."

"When do you plan to go?" Lin Qingyu asked, "Will the crown prince let you go?"

There was a trace of bewilderment in Shen Huaizhi's eyes, which was quickly replaced by firmness: "I will find a way."

Hell Gate...he had never heard of it before.Looking at Shen Huai's appearance of knowing his soul and not keeping his house, now is not a good time to ask the bottom line.

"You think of a way to tell me." Lin Qingyu said, "I also want to go to Xuzhou to see what my late husband is up to."

Shen Huaizhi held the jade tablet tightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

When Lin Qingyu walked out of Changsheng Temple, it was nearly dusk.The setting sun jumps like a flame, and when it burns out, the day is almost over.He was about to get into the carriage when a young monk called him: "Benefactor Lin."

Lin Qingyu remembered this little monk.The last time he came to Changsheng Temple with Jiang, it was this person who invited Jiang to see Xu Junyuan.

Xu Jun would like to...

Lin Qingyu's heart moved, and he asked, "But the national teacher is looking for me?"

"The national master is still in seclusion, and no one else is seen." The little monk said, "Before he went into seclusion, he ordered the little monk to hand over something to benefactor Lin." Then, the little monk took out a kit from his bosom, "Benefactor Lin, please. "

Lin Qingyu took the kit and opened it, and inside was a note with ten characters written on it—birthday and a name.

"This is……"

Looking at the man's familiar handwriting, Lin Qingyu's eyes were a little dry from the wind.He was still laughing at Shen Huaizhi's gaffe just now, but now, his hands are shaking no matter what.

On the ninth day of No.90 when that person left, he finally knew his name.

I didn't expect that the salted fish who couldn't get enough sleep would be called this name.
