The purple poisonous mist spread across the snow-covered land as if it were alive.
Wherever the poisonous fog passed, vegetation withered, ice and snow melted, and the ground cracked.
On the original site of the wine house, there were still a lot of broken bricks and tiles.
The purple poisonous mist spread here, all the wood dissolved and rotted, and all the rubble and debris turned into dust.
Gao Gong was horrified to see it!
Chen Yiqin even reminded nervously: "This is a master of poison in the Hedao realm, everyone, be careful!"
In fact, there was no need for him to remind him. Gao Gong and Yin Shidan had seen the power of the purple poisonous mist and could roughly estimate the enemy's strength.
The Hedao realm is not scary, the three of them are in the Hedao realm.
But the enemies hidden in the dark are always scary. Attacks may be launched at any time and from any angle, making it difficult to guard against!
"He Fang Xiaoxiao?"
Gao Gong roared angrily.
"The Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty and the Grand Scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion are here."
"You dare to make a sneak attack, but do you have the guts to show up to meet me?!"
The roar spread throughout the countryside, but no one responded.
In an instant, a dozen acres of land were covered in purple poisonous gas.
Gao Gong and the other three had no choice but to fly into the air and use their senses to search for the possible location of the enemy.
"Old Gaoge!" Yin Shidan said calmly and after a moment's thought, "I'm afraid the realm of this person is below us. He only possesses a rare treasure and is able to use such a strange poisonous attack."
"Hmph! You're a bastard!" Gao Gong gritted his teeth.
He is already at the eighth level of Hedao Realm, and is only one step away from Dzogchen.
In the ordinary Hedao realm, Gao Gong doesn't take it seriously at all.
"I'm afraid it's a heaven-level spiritual treasure." Chen Yiqin also said.
Chen Yiqin was erudite and knowledgeable, and he was one of the greatest treasure appraisers in the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing what he said, Gao Gong and Yin Shidan's faces became even more ugly, knowing that they were probably right.
"How many Hedao realm medical cultivators are there in our Ming Dynasty?" Gao Gong asked angrily.
There is no separation between medicine and poison.
Even practitioners who are addicted to poisonous skills must have a superficial identity as a medical practitioner, otherwise they will not be tolerated in the world.
The laws of the Ming Dynasty were strict and all medical practices had to be registered.
After hearing Gao Gong's question, Yin Shidan pondered for a while.
"The strongest medical practitioners in the Ming Dynasty are all in Taiyuan Hospital, and most of them are members of the Qingliu Party."
"Even if there are a few strict doctors, they can't reach this level."
Ministers of the Ming Dynasty, no one in the Jiajing Dynasty has reached the Mahayana realm.
The Hedao realm is Mingchen's limit.
During the Ming Dynasty, imperial examinations were emphasized and Confucianism was promoted.
In the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty, medicine was a minor path, a side door to the left.
Most of the truly talented practitioners devoted themselves to Confucianism and Taoism, while a few were martial arts practitioners, such as Hu Zongxian.
Medical masters are really rare among the rare.
Yin Shidan said this, but Gao Gong disagreed.
He said coldly: "The most powerful medical practitioner in the Ming Dynasty has already left the Taiyuan Hospital! Have you forgotten that there is a guy named Li Shizhen?"
Chen Yiqin shook his head after hearing this!
"Don't accuse good people unjustly."
"Li Shizhen was a miraculous doctor of the generation who helped the world cure illnesses and save lives. He was the most loved by the people of our dynasty."
"Mr. Gao Ge, when did you ever hear that Li Shizhen poisoned people?"
Chen Yiqin originally meant to remind him, but Gao Gong snorted coldly.
"snort!"
"Just because he didn't harm anyone before, doesn't mean he won't harm anyone in the future!"
"People's hearts are separated from each other by their stomachs. They know people and faces but don't know their hearts!"
"Perhaps he has been bribed by the Yan Party, but we don't know?"
This kind of groundless presumption of guilt gave Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin a headache.
The two of them and Gao Gong were both prince officials in the past, and they also knew Gao Gong well as a human being.
This old man is talented and ambitious, but he believes that human nature is inherently evil, and treats outsiders who are not his comrades as enemies.
Today, Yin Shidan and Chen Yiqin agreed to come to help. Mostly because they did not want to antagonize Gao Gong.
This time, Gao Gong helped Gao Gong, but the two of them couldn't get any benefit at all.
But if you dare to refuse, you will be treated as a hostile bandit by Gao Gong from now on!
"That's it, Zhengfu." Chen Yiqin whispered to Yin Shidan: "As long as the person who uses poison in the dark is discovered, the doctor Li can naturally be cleared. Don't make Gao Huzi angry because of the dispute of words, otherwise you and I will come here. , isn’t it self-defeating?”
Yin Shidan thought for a while and had no choice but to nod.
He sighed deeply, clasped his fists at Gao Gong and said: "We don't know whether Hu Zongxian is alive or dead at the moment, so important matters cannot be delayed. The three of us need to work together to disperse the poisonous fog. It is best to find Hu Zongxian's body and take it back to Mr. Xu Ge."
"Hmph! When you see Hu Zongxian, you can kill him with one sword. Why do you need to return to someone?"
It seems that Gao Suqing doesn't want to live under Xu's rank for a long time?
After hearing what he said, Chen and Yin had this idea in their minds at the same time.
"Do it!"
Gao Gong used a commanding tone and took the lead in clapping his hands.
The huge palm shadow condensed with spiritual energy was carried by the strong wind and moved towards the poisonous fog.
Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan also took action, using their palm power to disperse the poisonous mist.
The three combined Taoist realms have indeed achieved immediate results!
The poisonous mist that covered a huge area around them dissipated immediately, revealing that the soil and official roads that were originally covered in snow were in a scorched earth state.
The vegetation was all rotten, and there were even some skeletons of hibernating animals lying at the entrance of the cave or lying on the roadside.
The three of them gasped!
What a powerful poisonous fog!
"Look, Hu Zongxian!" Chen Yiqin said suddenly.
The direction he pointed in was exactly where Hu Zongxian lay down just now.
At this moment, there is a complete skeleton!
The three people hurriedly landed to check, only to see a few accessories scattered around the skeleton that had not been corroded by the poisonous mist, which were exactly what Hu Zongxian was wearing.
"Hu Zongxian is dead?!" Yin Shi said in shock.
He had been seriously injured before and was swallowed by the poisonous mist, so it was reasonable for him to die just like that.
But the three of them were all important officials of the Ming Dynasty and well-educated people. How could they not suspect that this was a clumsy contract swap?
"Use poisonous fog to cover up the audition, and use a dead skeleton to replace Li Zong?"
Gao Gong sneered again and again.
"Two of you, I suggest we split up and search around, how about you?"
"If we find anything, we will send a message."
"If nothing is found, come back here in an hour."
Although he asked, he had no intention of discussing.
Before he finished speaking, Gao Gong had already chosen a direction and flew out like a thief.
Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They had no choice but to choose a direction and search like headless flies.
Time passed quickly.
An hour later, the three of them returned on time.
Seeing each other's empty hands, they both know that the other party has missed.
Gao Gong said angrily: "What's going on? I don't have one there, so you two should find the thief! Could it be that you were unwilling to work hard and let the thief escape?"
Even if he is a clay figure, he should still have a certain amount of anger.
Yin and Chen had been annoyed by Gao Gongyi for a long time, and they could no longer suppress their anger.
Chen Yiqin said angrily: "How do you know that Master Yin and I are not working diligently? There are many strange people and strange things in the world. They may have left long ago after releasing the poisonous fog. How do you ask us to find them?"
Yin Shidan also said angrily: "Perhaps Hu Zongxian's former enemies came here specifically to take revenge today. Mr. Gaoge, what evidence do you have to prove that this skeleton is not Hu Zongxian's?"
"you!?"
Gao Gong felt angry.
He still wanted to have an attack, but he remembered that in the Ming Dynasty, Yan Song and Xu Jie were already overpowering him, and recently the young junior Zhang Juzheng was also overpowering him.
If this continues, in what year and month will he be able to take the position of chief minister of the Ming Dynasty?
At least he has some friendship with Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan. If he gets into trouble with them today, he won't even have a helper in the court in the future.
Gao Gong thought this, and then he finally cupped his fists and said, "I am obsessed with anger. Please calm down, two brothers. Don't be as knowledgeable as me."
How rare!
This was the first time in their lives that Chen and Yin heard Gao Gong speak softly. Both of them were gentlemen with open minds, so they naturally took advantage of the situation.
"cough."
"Mr. Gao Ge is dedicated to serving the public good. The two of us have nothing but admiration. How dare we anger Mr. Gao Ge?"
"Well... let's take a look at this skeleton. Is he Hu Zongxian?"
After Yin Shidan finished speaking, he squatted down, endured the faint stench of the bones, and moved closer to examine them carefully.
A gentleman likes to be clean.
Scholars in the Ming Dynasty have always stayed away from jobs such as cooking and housework.
The three of them endured the stench and checked for a long time, but it turned out that they were just laymen pretending to be experts.
They stared at each other, but they couldn't see why.
"His height and body shape seem to be similar to Hu Zongxian's?" Yin Shidan said hesitantly.
"The frame is thick and tall, at least it can be identified as a man." Chen Yiqin also said.
The two of them talked to each other, and the more they talked, the more confident they became, as if they concluded that the skeleton was left by Hu Zongxian.
Gao Gong listened for a long time, always feeling uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"That's right!" Chen Yiqin slapped his head and said in surprise: "Where are the three young adults who came from the capital? Why are they missing? Could it be that they were melted by the poisonous mist?"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!?"
Gao Gong was shocked when he heard this.
Although he looked down upon Yang Jisheng, Shen Liangcai and Tan Lun, the three young men, they were all officials.
If you fall here, as a superior officer, you must bear the responsibility!
Gao Gong has not yet sat on the throne of chief minister, how can he stop in the middle?
"Look for it quickly!"
Fortunately, the discovery was made quickly.
Yang Jisheng, Shen Liangcai, and Tan Lun, together with the thirty-six sword and shield soldiers of the Nanjing Military Department, were placed beside the official road not far away like corpses.
"Still alive!"
Yin Shidan stepped forward to investigate, but saw that all three of them were snorting, and there were no injuries on their bodies. Only their lips were purple, as if they had been poisoned?
The thirty-six sword and shield soldiers were the same, unconscious.
"Is there a letter?!"
There was a letter stuffed in the collar of Tan Lun's clothes who was unconscious.
Chen Yiqin took the letter and was about to check it, but Gao Gong snatched it away.
"Let me see what the thief wrote in the letter?"
He was so domineering, Chen Yiqin almost got angry again.
Thanks to Yin Shidan secretly tugging at the corner of his clothes, he could barely endure it.
The letter unfolded, but there was a crooked and ugly line of words: Millions of soldiers would rather die than retreat, how can a governor who has lost his land survive alone?
Yin Shi was stunned and said, "What do you mean? Could it be that Yunzhou City was defeated, and they hated Hu Zongxian for failing to live up to the court's expectations and losing the city and territory, so they came here specifically to kill him today to vent their anger?"
Chen Yiqin nodded: "At least, that's what it means literally."
Gao Gong sneered: "This is obviously written with the left hand, are you afraid of exposing the handwriting? Pretending to be a defeated soldier in Yunzhou, it is actually an acquaintance who committed the crime!"
In terms of knowledge alone, both Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan were inferior to Gao Gong.
But in terms of experience in political struggle, the two well-educated scholars are indeed inferior to him.
Gao Gong has been in the cabinet for several years and has been at the forefront of the struggle against the strict Party. How sensitive is he to conspiracies and conspiracies?
Chen and Yin had to think through the lie for a long time, but he saw through it immediately!
Fortunately, the three young officials are still alive.
I have a headache. Is Hu Zongxian dead?
"Mr. Gao Ge, why don't you report this matter to your second assistant?" Yin Shidan smiled and said, "Do your best and obey fate. You and I have done our best."
Gao Gong was silent for a long time and finally nodded.
"Take that skeleton and give it to Cisuke!"
Hearing his random orders, Yin and Chen almost couldn't hold back.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Chen Yiqin pretended to cough a few times, and said with a smile: "Zhengfu and I were accidentally injured by the poisonous mist. We are short of breath and exhausted, and cannot carry heavy objects."
Yin Shidan also said: "Please take a break from your hard work and return to the capital with important evidence?"
Gao Gong glanced at the corner of his mouth, imagining the weird look of himself carrying the skeleton, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.
"It's okay if you don't want that kind of thing!"
"Let's go back to Beijing quickly. By the way, take these three boys with us."
…
…………
Daming, Home Inn.
Home Inn has hundreds of branches in Daming, covering all major prefectures and counties.
Because of its unified service standards and affordable prices, it is widely praised among the lower classes of Ming Dynasty.
Home Inn has been operating quietly for decades, paying taxes, abiding by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and never doing anything extraordinary.
Gradually, state bureaucrats from all over the Ming Dynasty almost forgot that Home Inn was actually a foreign business.
The boss behind the inn is Da Chu Fan.
In Tianzi Room No. 1, the door was slowly closed.
This is the highest-grade room in the inn, but even so, the furnishings and layout of the room are still far inferior to the standard of the Yanbo Huafang Private Room.
"The ancestors of the Fan family know how to layout." Fan Li was standing by the window, thinking.
The Home Inns that are spread all over the Ming Dynasty are not his handiwork.
These business projects, which are not very profitable and do not engage in any espionage activities, are the idle work that Fan left behind in various countries in his early years.
The function of an inn is to become a safe house at critical moments.
"Jade God Son, how is his injury?"
On the bed, the man who was seriously injured and unconscious was Hu Zongxian.
This was a sure-win bet.
As long as it is proven that there is no place for Hu Zongxian in the Ming Dynasty, he should be willing to admit defeat and surrender to himself.
Fan Li didn't expect that when Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, and Yin Shidan showed up, Hu Zongxian would actually have a death wish? !
He can understand it.
Those three people are the prince's officials, and all their actions represent the will of Prince Wanli.
If even Wanli wanted Hu Zongxian to die, he would really have no future in the Ming Dynasty.
It is a pity that Hu Zongxian actively sought death because of this and was attacked by three people.
"You don't keep your word! You really don't keep your promise!"
Fan Li gritted his teeth in anger.
Even he, a notorious treacherous minister of Chu, always kept his promise.
Hu Zongxian, the majestic governor of the Northern Territory of the Ming Dynasty, didn't mean what he said?
"Jade God Son! You must save Hu Zongxian!"
"I want to see if he has the nerve to die a second time?"
Fan Li became angrier as he thought about it.
The Jade Goddess bowed.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Lord Hu has mastered the [Spiritual Armor Skill], and the special effects of this skill have already penetrated into the bone marrow. Even if the outer armor is broken, Lord Hu's defensive power is still far beyond that of ordinary people."
"Although Mr. Hu is seriously injured, there is no problem in saving his life."
"After all, the three people who attacked Master Hu are all inferior to Master Hu in cultivation."
"only……"
Fan Li urged: "Just what? If you have something to say, say it directly."
He sneaked into the Ming Dynasty and took risks to deal with Emperor Jiajing, Yan Dang, Xu Dang and the Holy Lord of Painting. He did not want his busy work to be in vain.
"Master Hu is seriously injured, and his cultivation level will probably drop to at least six or seven levels."
Fan Li breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
He thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be so?
People who practice spiritual practice consume countless resources.
Creating a master in the realm of gods is enough to bankrupt a small family.
As for the Hedao realm, even aristocratic families cannot support many people.
If Hu Zongxian really fell sharply, he would never be able to get back to the top without emptying out the century-old savings of a middle-class family or several small families.
But to Fan Li, this was nothing.
"As long as Hu Zongxian truly surrenders to the Jin Dynasty, I will do my best to help him return to the top and even go further!"
After hearing this, Jade Goddess was secretly envious.
Since he became a minister of the Jin Dynasty, he knew very well how terrifying Fan Li's financial resources were.
All information about Chu State is open to the public in Jin Dynasty.
Fan Li founded a country and gained power over it.
Even among the emperors of various countries in the Central Plains, he ranks first in terms of financial resources.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will do my best to make Mr. Hu recover soon."
Hu Zongxian's tenacity did not disappoint Fan Li.
Three days later, the person woke up.
It's just that the injury was too severe and he couldn't move his limbs.
He was helped to sit up from the bed, his face was as pale as paper, and he remained silent without saying a word.
Yu Shenzi cooked the decoction himself.
Every bowl of soup is filled with extremely rich water of life.
"Hu Zongxian, do you still want to stay in Ming Dynasty?" Fan Li suddenly said.
The man was as dull as a puppet, with no expression on his face.
But his eyes slowly moved and locked on Fan Li.
Eyes are also the language that conveys information.
There was no nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty in Hu Zongxian's eyes.
Fan Li was very nervous.
He found that Hu Zongxian didn't have much nostalgia for life.
This is not a good sign.
Helpless, Fan Li chanted:
"One path leads to the cloud mountains ten miles away, and the gate of heaven is high and open among the five clouds."
"Pillowing the clouds, I couldn't get enough of the wine. I went straight to the top of the mountain and stepped on the jade rainbow."
As if miraculously, Hu Zongxian reacted!
He straightened up slightly, opened his lips, and made a weak, hoarse sound.
Fan Li knew that he had something to say, so he didn't rush him and just stared quietly and patiently.
After a long time, Hu Zongxian was finally able to speak out.
"Jin Gong... No, His Majesty the Jin Emperor has also read Hu's poems?"
Fan Li nodded: "Hu Gong sang "Lanke Mountain" with high spirits. If a real man lives in the world, if he can fully display his talents and knowledge and create a great cause that will be praised throughout the ages, he will live up to his time in the world."
Hu Zongxian's eyes brightened a little more!
A confidant is hard to find!
Hu Zongxian had no ambition to be emperor.
However, if a man is walking in troubled times, if he cannot go through it with great vigor and leave behind some shocking undertakings and unparalleled achievements, then it will really be in vain!
He didn't want to waste his life in ignorance.
He reached out to Zhuoliu to ask for the power that Qingliu could not give him!
But no matter whether it is clear or muddy, power ultimately comes from the emperor.
When the emperor abandoned him, he had only one way left.
Dead end.
But Fan Li, this weird guy, actually paved a new path for him personally as the emperor! ?
"Hu Gong wants to create great achievements, so why bother with the Ming Dynasty?"
"The Jin Dynasty was founded not long ago, and although everything is still being created, the potential is unlimited."
"I sincerely invite Duke Hu as a Taiwei to train an army for the Jin Dynasty that can conquer the world."
"Mr. Hu, do you have any intention?"
I really can’t write a 5,000-word chapter.
Things like parent groups really have a serious impact on my coding.
The child who was beaten last time was transferred to another class, and the child who was hit with a nosebleed was also compensated for his medical expenses (my son was kicked a few times, but it was not serious, and he was too cowardly to fight back, but the other party did not apologize).
However, today there are a few parents who have nothing to do with themselves. Their children have not been beaten, but they are talking shamelessly in the group. It is inevitable for their children to bump into each other. There are fights and school bullying. Some parents are too sensitive.
Anyway, it smells like green tea and makes me sick, so I am not in the mood to write anymore.
