Dodder Pampering Handbook

Chapter 56 Knowing that it was a trap aimed at him

After successfully sending Yu Wenyue, whose purpose was unknown, to Yangzhou, Zhong Ting was not in a hurry to do the second task.

Yao Lao asked him to rush to Shaolin Temple three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival to fetch a mature medicinal herb for him from the back mountain protected by the Arhat Guardian.

He had already handed over the method of taking the herb to Zhong Ting, and he had to promise to send the herb back to Zhaoguan within seven days. He had waited three years for this herb to practice a dose of medicine.

So between the two missions, Zhong Teng still has more than three months to accompany Su Yi'an.

They lived in Yuehua Building in Yangzhou for the time being, and before going out, Zhong Teng exchanged all the silver bills for bank notes, even if they lived in the best restaurant in Yangzhou for a year or so, it would be more than enough.

A few days before arriving in Yangzhou, Su Yi'an was curious about everything, and Zhong Teng accompanied him to visit Yangzhou City, the mountains and rivers outside the city, the famous scenic spots in the city, and the delicacies in various restaurants and alleys.

Xiaohuan has never seen such a bustling city. Yangzhou has smooth waterways, and the dynasty has a good relationship with foreigners. It can be said that in Yangzhou, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicacies of all parts of Kyushu.

The mermaids and dragons here are a mixed bag, so Zhong Cheng is naturally careful.

This day he got up early and danced sword in the backyard. When it was over, the waiter at the side handed over the handkerchief in time, and said with a smile: "Your guest has been in Yangzhou for seven days, have you ever been to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion?"

Zhong Teng shook his head. Although he had never been there, he had heard it countless times when he arrived in Yangzhou. Many men liked to talk about it, but women avoided it like snakes and scorpions.

When you think about it, you know it's not a good place.

The servant continued: "My lord, have you heard of the four famous prostitutes in Yangzhou?"

Zhong Cheng continued to shake his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked slowly towards the front hall.

"The four famous prostitutes in Yangzhou don't happen every year. This is a grand event held every five years. It is held in Qinlou. If guests have nothing to do, they can also take their friends for a walk."

Yangzhou is so prosperous, rich businessmen gather, and there are many homes of Zhongming Dingshi.I don't know when, raising lean horses has become a matter of great interest.

Since Zhong Teng would not be interested in these things, he brought the matter up with a few perfunctory words.

He didn't want Su Yi'an to come into contact with these things, so he planned to take him to the mountains these days to escape the summer heat.

He was about to go upstairs to ask Su Yian to get up for breakfast, when he passed by his door, he saw a letter nailed to the door with a hidden weapon, Zhong Teng opened it, and inside was an invitation letter from Qin Lou.

The letter was written by Yu Wenyue, why did he pretend to be this way, Zhong Teng just thought it was because he was out of his mind.

He rolled the letter into a ball casually, and Zhong Cheng knocked on the door with his fingers.

Su Yi'an had already woken up, was neatly dressed, and was reading a book at the table.As soon as he came, he went to the major bookstores in Yangzhou, and brought back a lot of sage books, as well as novels.

This little blushing, Zhong Cheng walked over and took out the book in his hand, and took a closer look, it was a history book.

"Why is Andy blushing?" He said, the back of his hand naturally pressed against Su Yi'an's hot face.

For convenience, he finally coaxed this person to call him big brother when he was outside.He called Su Yian "Andi".

Su Yi'an wouldn't tell him that he just watched him practicing sword from upstairs.He avoided it twice and said, "I'm hungry."

However, Xiaohuan has already woken up. Even if she lives in a restaurant and has food and drink, she still stubbornly wants to cook for the son herself. However, she is overwhelmed by the chef of the hotel and her skills are not as good as others. She still goes every day. It is said that it is a strike, but it is actually stealing the teacher.

Fortunately, the chef cooks breakfast and there is no exclusive secret recipe, so the restaurant will not drive Xiaohuan out.Su Yi'an knew that she would feel uneasy if she didn't do anything, so he went with her.

After staying in Yuehua Building for a few days, Su Yi'an began to think about going to Jingting Academy.On this day, he picked some calligraphy and calligraphy in the street, and he also asked the staff of the restaurant to send a visit letter to the head of the academy one day in advance, planning to visit again the next day.

When Su Yian came to Yangzhou, what he liked most was the night view. He used to hear people say that Kyoto is a city that never sleeps. As for the night view of Runan, he had never seen it before.

So every day after dinner, I would take a walk on the street with Zhong Ting.

Sometimes when he saw students wearing light blue scribe uniforms, he would introduce in a low voice: "These are all students from Jingting Academy."

Zhong Teng would take a serious look, and then think of Su Yi'an's appearance in this light blue scholar's suit, and he looked forward to it.

As they walked and chatted, Su Yi'an wanted to take a look and taste any rare things he saw.He bought a bag of chestnuts, he liked it very much, he was full after eating two or three, and Zhong Cheng took care of the rest.

Such a peaceful and beautiful day, Su Yi'an didn't dare to think about it before, and he was happy every day.

Yu Wenyue naturally knew their every move. He sat in the Qin Tower every day and sniffed when he heard the reports from his subordinates.

Is Zhong Teng playing house with the children?

Overnight in Yangzhou City, rumors spread everywhere, originally they were discussing about Qinlou's famous prostitutes in Qinlou on June and a half, so Yangzhou City has welcomed many distinguished guests in the past half a month.

Yuehua Building was also full of people.

When Zhong Cheng went downstairs, he heard someone talking: "Qin Lou really spent his money this time, and gave every beauty a treasure as a gift, that is to say, whoever wins a beauty gets a treasure."

"This year's grand event is also unmatched in previous years. How could there be such a battle in previous years? Didn't you hear that everyone came?"

"But these have nothing to do with us. If you can spend 100 taels of silver to go in and see the beauty, you will have something to talk about for the rest of your life."

Another person sighed: "If I had money, I would definitely buy Yu Baihua."

"Why did you buy her? I heard people say that she has the shortest time in Qinlou, and her appearance is only mediocre among the four. She has little hope of winning the championship this time."

"It can be attached to her, do you know what it is?"

"What is it?"

"Decades ago in Jianghu, there was a King of Hades. He was called King of Hades not because he was good at killing people, but because he was good at saving people. He could save people from any difficult diseases. Later, he traveled around the world, He didn't know where he was going, and people only knew after his death that he spent 20 years in retreat in the mountains and finally made a pill that is unparalleled in the world."

His friend was aroused by him: "What does this pill do?"

"Life and death, flesh and bones, if there is no disease, why not live forever?"

"Haha, I don't believe the exaggeration."

"You don't believe it? I didn't say that."

"Who is that? Since the King of Hades is dead and only one pill is left behind, why do other people know the effect of this pill?"

"There is one person who knows the effect of this pill best. That's what Ye Weishuang passed on."

"Martial arts leader?"

"Yes, you think his age is already eighty or ninety years old, but he is still walking like flying. If I don't mention his age, how can you see that he is actually an old man?"

"That does have some credibility."

Zhong Cheng had already come down from upstairs, and sat next to them, ordered breakfast and ate there slowly.

As soon as he used a steamed stuffed bun, Su Yi'an came down, but today's improvement is not very good, and his lips are a little pale.

The two chatting next door finished their meal and left together.

Zhong Cheng supported Su Yi'an to sit down, and said softly, "How do you feel? Can you still go to the academy?"

"Yes." Su Yi'an bit his lower lip, his voice was inaudible, and the long-lost heart palpitations reappeared. He knew that his heartbeat was normal before because of the pills that Zhong Cheng gave him, which temporarily freed him from the palpitations.

But there were only three pills, no matter what the medicine boss was, he was unwilling to give more pills. It took time to refine the medicine, and it also required Zhong Cheng to complete the task.

At the beginning, he spent all his family money seeking medicine to refine three medicines, and he ate one when he first met Su Yian, and when he was vomiting blood from anger, Zhong Teng fed him another one.

Now there is only one left in the bottle.Even if Zhong Teng can complete the task and Yao honestly gives him the medicine, there are still three months in between.

Su Yi'an couldn't afford to wait.

Zhong Cheng thought for a moment, knowing that the conversation between the two people next door was aimed at him, but he still had to jump in.

As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not miss it.

Feed Su Yi'an the last pill, and after a while, Su Yi'an's palpitations finally eased, and his complexion gradually turned rosy. He smiled and said, "It's really amazing."

In the last second, he could still feel that his whole body was weak, and he had to be careful and whisper when he took a breath, for fear that he would suffer from angina if he exerted too much force.In the next second, he could feel his heartbeat become stronger, even if he breathed hard, he would not be afraid of sudden pain.

Zhong Cheng looked at him with a smile, feeling a little distressed.Rubbing his hair, "Let's eat, and take you to the academy after eating."

Su Yi'an nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"

Rented a carriage and rushed to Jingting Academy with a lot of greeting gifts. Su Yi'an was invited in to talk, but Zhong Teng didn't intend to show up.

Although he hasn't done anything bad in front of people for many years, and no one knows what he's doing, Zhong Ting is still afraid that there will be enemies like Ghost Five.He explained in this way that he wanted to wait for Su Yi to settle down at the foot of the mountain.

But Su Yi'an dragged him along: "You just think too much. No matter how powerful those Jianghu people are, don't they still have to be sent by the court? Which academy have you seen been massacred by martial arts? Don't talk about Jingting Academy. It is an ordinary academy, the killing of a student is a major event, and the county government will investigate the case very seriously, if it is known that Wulin is seeking revenge, I am afraid that Wulin will suffer."

He explained it so well that even Zhong Teng couldn't refute it, so he had to go up the mountain with him.

Jingting Academy is halfway up the mountain. Before I saw the academy, I first saw a pavilion with the inscription "Wi Le Pavilion". Not far away, there is a small waterfall with white water splashing down.

Su Yian asked him to take a rest in the pavilion, and introduced him enthusiastically: "The origin of this pavilion is based on Ouyang Xiu's "Drunkard Pavilion". Even the surrounding scenery is similar to the text. place."

Zhong Teng didn't understand, and suddenly realized while pondering, "So that's how it is."

If he is literate, it depends on whether his body can read or not.If he is physically literate, he will be literate, and if he is illiterate, don't expect him to be able to read human characters with an old stone.

In the last world, he could still pull out some famous quotes from sages, but this time he only swallowed jujubes for literacy, and he didn't have much interest in learning.

Su Yi'an really thought he understood, and was pointing his finger in the direction of the waterfall to show him the original text, but a man carrying a bundle ran down the mountain and almost hit his hand.

Zhong Teng took his hand back in time, but the man didn't turn his head back. The blue bandage tied on his hair was dangling behind his head, and he looked in a hurry, as if someone was chasing him behind him.

Su Yi'an looked at the man suspiciously for a moment, and then began to play the script again in his mind: "Is he a girl disguised as a man and came here to study in Yingtai? Was a girl discovered by a classmate?"

Zhong Teng was speechless. Although the man ran very fast, he clearly saw the protruding Adam's apple.
