In the dark night, a fast horse galloped out of the city gate of Seoul and headed straight for the paddy fields in the Qinling Mountains. After letting the horse go, the huge city gate slowly closed again. This is in Seoul. If it were Chang'an, no one would open the city gate for you at night!
Just when the cavalry was leaving the city, Xiao Han built the four-faced Taoist temple.
Sun Simiao sat at his desk and finished sorting out a medical book. He rubbed his eyes and took out a few fist-sized crystals from the box next to him and began to look at them carefully.
These pieces of crystal are not perfect, there are even a few strands of cotton-like stuff inside. But it has only been a few days since Sun Simiao wrote the letter. Being able to find a crystal of such quality is enough to show how powerful the Taoist sect is.
The crystal in his hand was flawed, but Sun Simiao was not surprised at all.
These were originally used for craftsmen to practice their skills and for Xiao Han to do experiments. After all, Xiao Han had already said that this thing requires many experiments to complete, and every small arc can affect the final result.
He couldn't imagine how he could see something a thousand times smaller than a hair with just a few crystals. Sun Simiao looked at it for a while and finally shook his head. Putting the crystal back into the box, he lay on the bed and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
The Buddhists once said: A grain of sand is a world, a flower is a paradise. Similarly, Taoism also has the statement that the universe is hidden in one’s sleeves. I once thought this was the ancestor's conjecture, but now it seems that all this seems to be proven.
Are there really millions of lives in a drop of water? The human body is composed of countless extremely tiny substances? Many diseases are caused by other beings invading our bodies?
Thinking of what Xiao Han said, Sun Simiao was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He wished he could catch Xiao Han and start experiments now!
Horses galloped wildly on the dark road, and the crisp sound of horse hooves could be heard far away in the silent night.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer to the paddy fields. At the intersection, torches were lit, and several soldiers holding bows and arrows stood grimly in the darkness. If a visitor arrives at the torch without announcing his name, the only consequence waiting for him is to turn into a porcupine.
As a city guard, Zhang Bao knows the rules here! So before the messenger set off, he repeatedly told him that he must sign up, otherwise his death would be in vain! So when the messenger saw that he had reached the torch, he immediately reined in his horse tightly, and before the horse stopped, he turned over and dismounted beautifully.
"Wu Laosan, a minor official in Seoul, has been ordered by the city guard to take Dr. Sun to Seoul for something important!"
Unable to see clearly what was in the dark, Wu Lao San only felt as if there were several pairs of eyes staring at him in the darkness. This made him feel like he had been on the battlefield, and he could only do the roll call loudly as the city guard said.
"I've been ordered to pick up Divine Doctor Sun?" With a whisper, Ren Qing appeared on the side of the road wearing a piece of clothing.
Seeing that there was only one person here, Ren Qing first made a gesture to ask the people around him to withdraw their defenses, then looked the person up and down, and asked in a deep voice: "Who in the city is seriously ill and can open the city gate at this time?"
Not sure whether he was frightened or tired, Wu Laosan was sweating profusely. He stretched out his hand to wipe the dripping sweat, clasped his fists and replied, "Sir, it's not a sudden illness! It's Xiao Hou who fell into the trap of a thief. Now we urgently need Doctor Sun to treat us!"
"What?!"
A thunderous shout exploded in Wu Laosan's ears! The guards who had just dispersed gathered back together in an instant, and Ren Qing, who had always been calm, suddenly changed his expression!
"What's wrong with Xiao Hou!" Ren Qing shouted loudly, and in a hurry, he stepped forward and grabbed Wu Laosan's neck, almost lifting him off the ground!
"Sir... Your Majesty..." His body suddenly lightened up, and Wu Laosan was shocked! He tried hard to break free, but Ren Qing's hands were like steel claws. Under the struggle, even the clothes on his body made a sound of breaking!
"How is Xiao Hou! Who was hurt! Tell me quickly!" Ren Qing's eyes were blood red, and he grabbed Wu Laosan regardless, as if he wanted to tear him alive! The pairs of red eyes around him made Wu Laosan feel like he was in a beast's den.
"Xiao Hou is fine! He was just hit by something like incense. The assassin ran away. The city guard started searching the whole city. He will never be able to escape!" Seeing that the struggle was useless, Wu Laosan immediately raised his hands and ran as fast as he could in his life. He told everything he knew, for fear that if he spoke slower, his life would be in danger!
"Asshole!" Ren Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Xiao Han was okay for the time being! He let go of Wu Laosan and asked the people next to him to invite Sun Simiao. Then he walked around on the ground twice, and finally decided to go there himself!
He knew the importance of Xiao Han very well. No matter who the assassin was or what his purpose was, Ren Qing had no intention of letting him live!
Wu Laosan's horse had already run out of strength after running all the way, and the guards around him led a few more fast horses. After a while, Sun Simiao, who looked very ugly, hurried over. When Ren Qing saw this, he didn't care to elaborate, jumped on a fast horse, and headed for Hanzhong.
He came with one horse, but returned with three riders.
On the dark road, Ren Qing ran at the front, followed closely behind by Sun Simiao! As for Wu Laosan, he fought hard not to be left too far behind by the two of them!
Don't worry about horsepower, just kill at the fastest speed all the way! It didn't take a stick of incense for the three of them to see the tall walls of Hanzhong City.
Under the starry sky, the city wall that should have been extremely silent is now full of people! A little light kept wandering on the top of the city wall like a will-o'-the-wisp. There was a captain on the city wall who heard the sound of horse hooves outside and tried his best to throw the torch far away.
"Who is coming? Is it Dr. Sun?!"
"Exactly!" Ren Qing's riding skills were superb and he was able to catch the torch before it hit the ground! Then he held up the torch and waved it in front of Sun Simiao, who was behind him, so that the people on the city wall could see who was coming.
"It's Divine Doctor Sun, open the door!"
The captain was specially waiting for Sun Simiao here. Seeing his arrival, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and loudly ordered the people below to open the door.
The grinding sound of the door opening gradually sounded in the dark night. The city gate was not allowed to be oiled! It is designed to make a loud noise when it is opened to alert others that the city gate is opened.
They rode straight into the city. The city was already in chaos. Countless officials and defenders were running rampant on the streets. Anyone who appeared on the streets for no reason was arrested! The originally empty Yamen prison was suddenly overcrowded, and people continued to be sent in like this.
The order from the governor and the city guard was to dig deep to find the assassin! As for whether they might arrest the wrong person, that is not within the scope of their consideration.
Through the chaotic streets, I followed Wu Laosan all the way to the brothel. The brothel that should have been very lively was now silent. Only the bright lights told others that this was not a ghost building.
After dismounting, without any time to rest, Ren Qing and Sun Simiao went directly to the second floor. Yuan Dake walked anxiously back and forth in the corridor, and suddenly saw Sun Simiao arriving. He was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.
"Daozhang Sun, you are finally here!"
"Why did you come to a place like this?!" Sun Simiao walked forward quickly and asked with a frown as he walked.
