Although he was holding the holy medicine mentioned by Su Hou, Xiao Jiulang did not immediately explain his purpose because he could see a faint worry in Wu Xuan's eyes. Wu Xuan is the nephew of Mrs. Yin's natal family. Although he has no substantial relationship with the Yin family, he is still Mrs. Yin's nephew.
And from the court level, if it involves Zhu Lian, it will be difficult for the Wu family to be spared. But there are not so many taboos in the world, but facing the behemoth of Xiaoyao Sect, Wu Xuan, who was born in the Wuyi family, did not dare to feel proud. You must know that the Xiaoyao Sect not only won the respect of Emperor Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty, but was also a famous sect in the world.
When he didn't know Xiao Jiulang's intention, Wu Xuan was inevitably worried, and it was reasonable. Thinking that Xiao Jiulang scared away the Yin family's biggest enemy with just a few words, one can imagine that the Xiaoyao sect is more difficult to deal with than the Kunlun Immortal.
Xiao Jiulang was quite sociable, so there was nothing he couldn't understand when he saw Wu Xuan's expression, not to mention Ma Yun standing aside with an unhappy look on his face. Xiao Jiulang didn't want to scare Wuxuan or mislead Ma Yun, so he took the initiative to bow his hands to Wuxuan and said: "I heard some noises here. I don't know what's going on with the old lady. The elders asked a certain family to come over and take a look."
Hearing Xiao Jiulang's words, Wu Xuan was obviously relieved. It seemed that Xiaoyao Party had no unpleasant thoughts about the Yin family's affairs. Naturally, she felt much more at ease in her heart. Before she could reply, Ma Yun took over the conversation and continued: "The old lady's condition is very bad, and they didn't dare to go ashore to find a doctor. Now they can only vent their anger! "You can hear the helplessness in his tone. Wu Xuan on the side also knows the situation and cannot refute Ma Yun's words.
Xiao Jiulang also saw Mrs. Yin's condition at that time, saw the bleeding from her mouth and nose, and knew that the injury was extremely serious. But what he didn't know was that the fight between people in the arena and the injuries that looked like this on the outside were nothing to mention. Mrs. Yin's injuries were really serious internal injuries.
I thought about the words in my mind for a while, thinking about the instructions my master gave to my uncle, so I didn't dare to delay any more time, for fear that if I had too much time, Mrs. Yin would die, and she would have let down the Xiaoyao Sect and myself.
So Xiao Jiulang immediately said: "The elders know that the old lady is not in good condition, because they don't understand the situation of the matter, and besides, our sect is also a cultivation sect. We have always been indifferent to the world, and it is not easy to come forward. Mediation and intervention. However, the elders couldn’t bear to see the old lady still taking on the important affairs of the family despite her old age, so they asked a certain family to send a copy of Jiuzhuan Zhudan and medicinal wine. Can I see the old lady? "
"Nine-turn Zhu Dan! Nine-turn Zhu Dan of Xiaoyao Sect!" Chen Xuan on the side said in surprise. Hearing Xiao Jiulang's quiet words, he immediately took over the words. Wu Xuan saw that Chen Xuan's voice was trembling and couldn't help but She looked at his eyes looking at Xiao Jiulang in surprise, waiting expectantly for Xiao Jiulang's answer. Although Chen Xuan didn't know why he was so nervous, he had no choice but to wait.
"It's our holy medicine Nine Turns Zhu Dan! I wonder what's wrong?" Xiao Jiulang himself didn't know the effect of this medicine. Seeing Chen Xuan so nervous, he couldn't help but feel a little unsure. Looking at Chen Xuan, he didn't know what to do. we have a deal.
"Great, great!" Chen Xuan actually grabbed Wu Xuan's arm and said excitedly: "Uncle Wu, great, the old lady is saved, Nine Turns Zhu Dan, Nine Turns Zhu Dan! It's my nephew who has been I mean, it can be compared to the holy healing elixir of the Shangqing Sect, the Nine-turn Divine Pill’s Nine-turn Zhu Dan!”
Xiao Jiulang felt relieved when he heard what Chen Xuan said. Wu Xuan was naturally overjoyed. It turned out that at night, Mrs. Yin's injury became more and more serious. Although Wu Xuan and Chen Xuan both carried medicine with them, it obviously did not help Mrs. Yin's injury.
Although Yin De, the concubine of the Yin family, also had some martial arts skills, perhaps because he was born a concubine, he was not trained intensively by the family when he was a child, so the family kung fu was not truly passed down. Today's skills can only be regarded as the lowest in the world. Because after the elders and direct descendants of the family were slowly tortured to death by the Kunlun Immortal in pursuit of revenge, he was retrained, but he was already past the best age for cultivation.
As for Mrs. Yin's injury, he naturally had no help, so he relied entirely on Wu Xuan, his maternal cousin. But after seeing that Wu Xuandu was helpless, he felt a sense of despair. Fortunately, Chen Xuan, who was traveling with him, remembered that the Shangqing Sect had a holy medicine, the Nine-turn Divine Pill, but where to find it!
If Chen Xuan knew about the Nine-turn Divine Pill, he only heard it mentioned by his father Chen Dushang occasionally, because the Nine-turn Divine Pill was said to be made by Lu Qiu Fangyuan, the founder of the Shangqing Sect. Nowadays, it is in the hands of the disciples of the Shangqing Sect. Do not know at all. Suddenly hearing the good news, there was no hope. Even Wu Xuan was at a loss.
Faced with the tyranny and stubbornness of the Kunlun Immortal, Yin De naturally did not dare to go ashore to find a doctor for his mother. Although he was not the daughter of Mrs. Yin, he was now the last bloodline of the Yin family, so he naturally regarded the old lady as his biological mother. Although she wanted to go ashore out of filial piety, Mrs. Yin had already told her not to go ashore to find a doctor for herself.
If she can survive to Jinling, she can be considered as having returned to her roots. But what she didn't expect was that she fell into a complete coma in the middle of the night. Yin De could not go ashore to look for the doctor, so he could only rely on the old lady to hold on, so Yan stayed beside the old lady Yin and cried.
The shock and joy may make anyone's heart unable to bear it. Wu Xuan was relatively decisive, so he welcomed Xiao Jiulang into the cabin. As expected, Yin De stood helpless beside the bed. Mrs. Yin was already lying on the wooden bed at this moment, with her eyes closed tightly, not knowing whether she was alive or dead. Mr. Yan sat by the bed and held Mrs. Yin's hand, her eyes red from crying.
What surprised Xiao Jiulang was that the little girl was lying on the bed next to her, seemingly sleeping soundly. Hearing that Xiao Jiulang had brought healing medicine, Yin De thanked him and stepped aside. Yan's eyes were a little shy, and she thought of giving way to Xiao Jiulang. Xiao Jiulang didn't know why his heart moved. He thought of his uncle's instructions and didn't let her get up.
Seeing that Xiao Jiulang actually took out the Nine Turns Zhudan, just smelling the fragrance made people feel clear. Everyone seemed to see hope, and couldn't help but watch respectfully as Xiao Jiulang took the old lady's pulse first.
Feeling the weak pulse on that skinny wrist, if Xiao Jiulang hadn't also had experience in introductory cultivation, it would have been difficult to feel the beating of the pulse. Xiao Jiulang knew that he couldn't waste time, but when he looked up, he saw Mrs. Yan looking at him nervously, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart. Knowing that everyone around her was looking at her, she forced herself to suppress her emotions and let Mrs. Yan half-lift Mrs. Yin. First, pour a little medicinal wine into the old lady's closed mouth, then hold her chin and put the Nine Turns Zhudan in.
Xiao Jiulang didn't know how to look at injuries. Although he knew some common sense about external injuries when he received special training, he didn't know how to deal with such serious internal injuries. The current operation is just in accordance with the instructions of the uncle. However, seeing that Mrs. Yin didn't seem to be able to swallow, Xiao Jiulang poured some medicinal wine into her.
Although everyone knew that the effect of the medicine would not be too fast, and Mrs. Yin actually had only one breath left, but when they saw that the medicine had entered the old lady's mouth, everyone still looked at Xiao Jiulang who stood up eagerly. Xiao Jiulang asked Wu Xuan to guide Mrs. Yin. Wu Xuan held Mrs. Yin's wrist and sat beside the bed, but he looked cautious.
As expected, in less than a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Yin's breathing became obviously rapid. Wu Xuan's inner strength is the same as that of the old lady, so it is most suitable for her to guide the old lady. Although the old lady did not wake up, seeing the joy on Wu Xuan's face and the old lady's gradually steady breathing, even Ma Yun knew that the old lady Yin was much better.
Together, they asked to move to the cabin opposite. Wu Xuan first saluted Xiao Jiulang, and then asked Yin De to salute Xiao Jiulang. However, Mrs. Yan was taking care of Mrs. Yin in the cabin and did not come over. Xiao Jiulang followed Su Hou's statement and asked everyone in a low-key manner not to spread the word. He also left a little medicinal wine left in the wine pot, and then came back with everyone's gratitude.
At a loss for words, Xiao Jiulang went straight back to the cabin and saw Su Hou sitting there meditating with his eyes closed. He did not dare to disturb him, so he could only sit on the bed and wait until dawn. It was only in the early hours of the morning that I heard someone commotion outside, but it was the boatmen who lifted anchor under Ma Yun's arrangement.
This merchant ship was not the only one to lift anchor. I could faintly hear shouts from other ships outside. Apparently everyone chose this time to set off. Xiao Jiulang couldn't sleep in the cabin, so he gently came out of the bow of the cabin.
Although the sky is not yet bright, the splendor before Tubai can already be seen on the horizon.
There seemed to be a hint of morning freshness in the air, which made people feel that the turbidity in their hearts had gone away. Xiao Jiulang stood on the bow of the boat and became full of energy. Thinking that he had actually become a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, it was really a bit baffling to recall what happened in the past two days. I couldn't help but almost wanted to shout to the vast world.
This is the intersection of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River. The water is wide and vast, and there are many ships anchored on the shore. Although the Daoguang Trading Company's merchant ship pulled over, because the ship was relatively large, there was no small boat blocking the way. After gently shifting the direction and straightening the bow, it successfully sailed out to the main waterway.
At this time, the lanterns on the ship had not been extinguished. The boatmen in charge of the main deck saw Xiao Jiulang standing at the bow of the ship. They probably knew that he and Ma Yun were brothers, so they did not come to disturb Xiao Jiulang's enjoyment.
The merchant ship's journey out and into the river mouth went very smoothly. As we neared Liusi Ferry, our genius gradually brightened.
From here, you really enter the main channel of the Yangtze River waterway. From then on, ships can travel thousands of miles down the river. But as expected, the royal navy was stationed at Liusi Ferry, waving flags to signal all ships in the river to line up for inspection.
Xiao Jiulang saw the majestic navy parking the ships in the river, and ordered the ships to pass through the waterway on the right side of the bank. On the right side, there was a large water village built against the bank. Under the early morning sunshine, you can see a general holding two short flags, standing on the five-foot-high water village supervisor platform, his eyes serious looking at each team of soldiers inspecting the ship.
There were six or seven large and small ships ahead, but Ma Yun ran out early and saw Xiao Jiulang standing on the bow. Although he was a little surprised, he was not suspicious. The two of them were polite at first, but they never mentioned what happened to the Yin family last night.
However, Xiao Jiulang saw some noise on the ship being inspected in front, and couldn't help but asked Ma Yun, slightly stunned, how could such a thing happen. Ma Yun sighed in a low voice and told Xiao Jiulang that it turned out that the territory of Zhou State was now across the river. Although the Yangtze River flow was rapid, strict inspections were still needed to prevent spies.
In particular, the imperial court was also worried about people jumping into the river, so on the way to Jinling, there were also Guleijiang (Huayang), Shuzhou (Anqing), Chizhou (Kanghuajun), Tongling, Jiangcheng (Wuhu), and Dangtu , Wujiang estuary and several water villages to guard, and finally arrived at Jinling City. Especially in Kanghua Army, which is heavily guarded, Ma Yun's tone is really helpless.
Although Xiao Jiulang was not worried about the inspection, he was worried that these people would affect the master and the head, so he wanted to go back to the cabin to talk to his uncle Su Hou. Before anyone spoke, they heard the sound of quarreling coming from a passenger ship undergoing inspection in front of them. But because we were still a little far away, we couldn't see what was going on in front of us, but the crying that came after a while made people feel a little panicked.
Faintly, he could see the command flags waving wildly on the superintendent's post. Two fighting ships approached the passenger ship. As soon as the ship approached, the two teams of officers and soldiers drew their weapons and jumped over the ship.
problem occurs!
This is everyone’s first feeling!
Maybe because the sound was louder, even people on the boat here heard it, and many people came out of the bow to watch. Many people on board the ships that had not yet been inspected came out to see what was going on. Ma Yun didn't say anything. Although his face was a little serious, his expression was still extremely relaxed, which did not worry Xiao Jiulang beside him.
Xiao Jiulang saw his uncle Su Hou also coming, so he came to greet him. Although I know that Su Hou is easier to get along with, he is my elder after all. Su Hou was noncommittal about the previous matter, and actually asked Xiao Jiulang what was going on? Xiao Jiulang told him honestly what he saw.
Someone here made a coaxing noise. It turned out that on the passenger ship being inspected, a few men and women were escorted out by officers and soldiers. From a distance, they looked a little disheveled. For some reason, Xiao Jiulang asked Su Hou worriedly if he would be in trouble. Su Hou said softly that there was no need to worry.
Although this matter delayed a little time, after the passenger ship was forcibly ordered to dock next to the water village on the right, the waterway continued to be open for inspection. Everyone was worried, but after hearing Ma Yun's explanation, they realized that many of the ships along the way were transporting supplies to Jinling. It was not a big deal, and the waterway would not be blocked.
To Xiao Jiulang's surprise, he saw two middle-aged Mai Taoists, who must have been the two who boarded the boat last night. They all hold whisks in their hands and carry a sheathed sword on their backs, making them look like cultivators outside of the cultivator.
They were also looking at the people on the boat. After seeing Xiao Jiulang, their eyes paused for a moment and then passed by. However, one of the Taoist priests with a square face looked at Su Hou twice more and seemed to be thinking for a while. His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and he didn't know what he was thinking. Su Hou didn't seem to notice him here, and continued to chat quietly with Xiao Jiulang about when he would arrive in Jinling.
Soon it was Ma Yun's turn to inspect the merchant ship. Because two or three ships were inspected together, the speed was quite fast. Perhaps following the example of the passenger ship just now, there is now a fighting ship specially watching side by side. What is frightening is that a row of soldiers are actually standing on the side of the ship with bows and arrows, although the arrows are pointing downwards. The edge is enough to make people dare not move rashly.
Ma Yun was obviously familiar with this kind of battle. When he saw a captain leading people onto the boat, he immediately stepped forward and handed over his luggage. This is what the forces from various vassal towns have issued to commercial banks in various places during the past two years of traveling in the Yangtze River Basin. Of course, Ma Yun's business is not only certified by various vassals and towns, but also mainly issued by the Tang Dynasty court. What's more, the huge logo of Daoguang Commercial Bank is also well-known to the Tang Dynasty military and civilians.
The captain could not see the flaw and did not make things difficult for Ma Yun. He led the team and let Ma Yun lead the way and went into the cabin to search. Xiao Jiulang watched these soldiers with weapons go in. He wasn't nervous at all, but he was a little worried that they would harass the master and the leader. To ordinary people, those are two beauties with natural beauty.
But surprisingly, this inspection went very smoothly. Xiao Jiulang did not see anyone from the Yin family come out, nor did Wu Xuan and Chen Xuan, nor did his master or head master, but the group of soldiers came out under the leadership of the school captain.
Watching the ship slowly sail away from the restricted waterway of the water village, the people on the bow seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. When the ship passed by the detained passenger ship, it was discovered that everyone on the ship had been taken off the ship, and they didn't know where they were being taken. Xiao Jiulang looked at those nervous faces and felt a little helpless.
The boat was moving down the waterway at a faster speed, and the boatmen were concentrating on controlling the direction. Although the waterway is extremely wide, there are high mountains and rocky walls on both sides, or shoals and rocks. If not prepared early, the boat may be destroyed and people may die.
However, seeing the boatman's skillful skills, Xiao Jiulang regarded it as a kind of enjoyment. He still sat on the wooden bench near the bow of the cabin with his uncle, watching the boatman maneuver the boat down the river. However, they found that the two Taoist priests did not return to the cabin. Instead, they called Ma Yun and asked what they were talking about.
Ma Yun seemed to be extremely respectful to the two people. Although Xiao Jiulang had no intention of prying, he had heard of the Zhengfa Sect. It is said that the founder of the Zhengfa Sect is now in great power, and has gradually risen to a very high position in the Tang Dynasty. Presumably because of the reputation of the Zhengfa Sect, Ma Yun inevitably paid some compliments to the two people.
Su Hou seemed to understand Xiao Jiulang's thoughts, and actually told him calmly that these two Taoist priests were the best among the three generations of disciples of the Zhengfa Sect. The square-faced man was named Ni Chunzhi, and he usually cultivated in Qixia Cave in Mount Lu. The thin Taoist priest was named Du Chunzhu, and he followed his disciples to cultivate in Jinling City. The two people seemed to have come to Lushan because of Du Chunzhao, and then Ni Chunzhi went back to Jinling with him to do business.
Listening to Su Hou's tone, Xiao Jiulang seemed a little dissatisfied with the Zhengfa Sect, but he knew that he could not transmit messages and did not dare to ask Su Hou, so he could only respond with a smile. Su Hou asked Xiao Jiulang to ignore it, but Xiao Jiulang had to ask Su Hou how long it would take to get to Jinling. When Su Hou said this, he told Xiao Jiulang that if there was no water village inspection on the waterway, he should be able to reach Jinling at night. But now that there are obstacles along the way, I'm afraid we won't be able to arrive until tomorrow.
Just as the saying goes, a thousand miles will return to Jinling in one day!
Xiao Jiulang sounded a little fascinated, but when he saw that the master and the leader had not shown up, although he was very surprised, he did not dare to interfere or ask. After a while, Wu Xuan came out. When he saw Xiao Jiulang, he came straight over without saying a loud greeting. Perhaps knowing that Su Hou would ignore him, he thanked Xiao Jiulang again and couldn't help but happily said that his aunt had woken up once.
Xiao Jiulang didn't dare to show off, so he simply responded with a few words. Seeing that there was no unpleasant look on Su Hou's face, he asked him to go back and accompany Mrs. Yin. Wu Xuan wanted to invite Su Hou and Xiao Jiulang to have dinner together. Xiao Jiulang saw that his uncle seemed unaware, so he rejected Wu Xuan's kindness. Wu Xuan probably understood, so he thanked him again and went in.
After the boat passed Gulei River and Shuzhou, it became surprisingly fast.
Firstly, it was because the water was faster and the boat speed was faster. Secondly, Ma Yun hung a bigger flag on the bow of the boat. There were basically no inspections along the way, and they passed Chizhou, Tongling and Jiangcheng smoothly. By the end of the afternoon, it was almost approaching Dangtu.
We set out at Yinshi in the early morning, and actually walked so far before midnight. Even Su Hou, who had been silent, was a little surprised. Ma Yun made an appointment with Xiao Jiulang again during lunch, and happily told Xiao Jiulang that if everything goes well, he should be able to arrive in Jinling at Youshi. However, because there may be many ships in Jinling, everyone has to wait for a long time at the port entry.
But in the afternoon, Feng Biwei called Xiao Jiulang up for the first time. Seeing the smiling faces of Feng Biwei and Geng Xiansheng, Xiao Jiulang guessed that the two of them must be happy and have a smooth journey. Naturally, he didn't know that it was because Feng Biwei had made a major breakthrough in the research on the essence and blood of the alien species, and Geng Xiansheng had also absorbed a drop of the essence and blood of the alien species, and actually made a deeper breakthrough in his cultivation.
Feng Biwei called Xiao Jiulang over, but she just told everyone that they would be at Jiangning Mansion, and asked Xiao Jiulang to go and talk to Ma Yun in advance, and everyone would get off the boat when they arrived at Wujiangkou. Because before the Zhou Kingdom occupied Huaibei, the Wujiang River on the other side belonged to the Jiangning Prefecture. Although there have been some changes now, everyone's titles have not changed.
When Ma Yun heard that Xiao Jiulang said he wanted to disembark at Jiangning Mansion, he actually looked a little reluctant, and tried his best to test Xiao Jiulang's intentions. Xiao Jiulang himself didn't know where he was in Jinling City, so it was naturally difficult for him to respond to Ma Yun. However, Su Hou took the initiative to speak out and let Ma Yun have time to go to Xiaoyao Palace to find Xiao Jiulang, which naturally made Ma Yun overjoyed.
Sure enough, when we arrived at Wujiangkou, the sky was still bright, and Ma Yun had already given instructions to let the merchant ships approach the dock and dock temporarily. Everyone loosened the straps of the carriage, and Ma Yun ordered someone to go to the back cabin of the ship to fetch the horse, and reluctantly said goodbye to Xiao Jiulang.
Seeing the two women wearing veils, the eyes of the two Taoist priests Ni Chunzhi and Du Chunzhao were a little strange, so Feng Biwei and Geng Xiansheng naturally didn't bother to pay attention. However, Wu Xuan and Yin De did not come out to see each other off. They only stood by the cabin window and held their hands as a gift. When they watched Xiao Jiulang drive away, there was a bit of worry in their eyes!
The sun shines on the pier, the river, and the boat, making the waves sparkling and peaceful.
