If anyone pays special attention, they will find that there are carriages heading out of Chaoyang City today.
The soldiers guarding the city also brushed aside their usual laziness and straightened their bodies one by one.
Whenever a carriage passed by, they would salute early. After the carriage had gone away, an older soldier would whisper: "Who is this big shot? Please pay attention next time you see him."
"绻婷崇嬴."
In the distance, another carriage made of black wood approached.
The soldiers quickly stood at attention and saluted, and the carriage drove away without stopping for a moment, carrying billows of dust.
The veteran looked at the carriage with envy.
Some recruits were puzzled: "The specifications of this carriage are not high. Why do you look so envious, Brother Zhang?"
"What do you know?"
The veteran snorted disdainfully: "This is the carriage of Nie Wuxing, the captain of Yihui. Although he is not a high-ranking official, it is only a matter of time before he becomes famous."
"Brother Zhang, why do you say that?" The recruit was aroused with deep curiosity.
After the veteran looked around, he whispered: "This Captain Nie has found a good wife. In order to marry this wife, he divorced his three previous wives."
"So exaggerated!? Who is this new wife?"
"Daguan? Humph, she is the child of an immortal!"
"hiss..."
...
The outskirts of Chaoyang Mansion.
There is a pine and cypress forest. Because of its flat terrain and tall pines and cypresses, it has become a popular place for hunting and outings in Fucheng.
Today, the forest area is particularly lively, and crowds of people come here in twos and threes.
There are wealthy people and their families in luxurious clothes.
A dignified-looking senior official came with his children.
There were also some scholars wearing Confucian robes.
These scholars, because their Confucian robes were really thin, were turned blue by the heavy snow, but they acted as if nothing had happened and talked loudly about the situation in the world.
Whenever an official woman looked at them, she would shake her head, recite poems, and take the famous saying that "it is important to have demeanor but not warmth" to the extreme.
It's a pity that they can't go any further when they reach the outskirts of the snow forest, because there is a winter meeting held every three years in the forest, and the soldiers guard the outskirts of the snow forest airtight.
Except for dignitaries or the top three members of the former Japanese literary society, no one else is allowed to enter.
Yi Ning and his party had entered the forest with the Tianshui Lane token.
Xu Yaochen stood in the forest, looking at the scholars and sighing: "If it weren't for Brother Yi, we would also be one of these people."
"It's still early and the officials in the city haven't arrived yet. Let's go and communicate with other scribes who have been promoted?"
Someone makes a suggestion and gets other people’s approval immediately.
Just when they were about to leave, Yi Ning suddenly said: "You go ahead, I'll take a stroll."
"Brother Yi is not with us?" Xu Yaochen asked.
Yi Ning just smiled and refused, then turned and walked towards Lin Nei.
It's not that he is arrogant or unsociable, because Yi Ning is here today and has other things to do.
His ears twitched slightly and he headed in one direction.
After walking for a while, a large pavilion appeared in front of me.
"This should be it!" Yi Ning whispered to herself.
Under the pavilion, there were banquet tables with fruits and wine placed on them.
In addition, on each banquet table, there is a wooden sign with the official name written on it, quietly waiting for the patronage of the corresponding owner.
This is the seat of the officials watching the meeting today, and it is also the purpose of Yi Ning coming to the winter meeting.
There is only a thought between being a doctor and killing people. Knowing the efficacy of herbs, he is naturally familiar with how to prepare poisons.
Yi Ning is planning to travel far and wide to get to know the various schools of thought and the people in various places. It is impossible for him to stay in Chaoyang Mansion for a long time.
So he didn't plan to delay Cai'er's matter any longer.
Nie Lang didn't want to see him, but Yi Ning had many ways to see him.
For example, using the knowledge in his chest, he could become a copycat and attach himself to the more powerful people in the mansion, but this plan would take too long.
Or just wait outside the house, but even if you stop him, the other party will only talk to you in a downward attitude.
When are people most willing to listen to what others have to say?
That's when the patient faces the doctor.
Yi Ning's plan was very simple, just make Nie Lang sick and she would appear as a doctor.
There is only one reason why I chose this place instead of Nie Lang's house. There is only one person per table here and no innocent people will be harmed.
Yi Ning stood in the distance, quietly analyzing the situation under the pavilion.
"Third row from the left, Colonel Yihui."
"Because the external inspection has been carried out, there are very few guards here, which is enough for me to move."
...
It's approaching noon.
The winter meeting is in full swing.
Talented people came on stage one after another to perform.
The dignitaries gathered around the stove to make tea, exchange cups and cups, and chat about political affairs. From time to time, they would glance at the talents performing hard in the audience.
Xu Yaochen has finished his performance. Although he didn't get the applause of the whole house, he still looked familiar and allowed these senior officials to remember him.
He stood in the crowd and looked around: "Brother Yi said he was going to attend the winter meeting, why is he missing?"
Just then,
In the pavilion ahead, a noise suddenly erupted.
Xu Yaochen raised his head in confusion and saw a gallant man wearing a ceremonial uniform twitching all over, foaming at the mouth, and fell to the ground unable to wake up.
"What happened to Captain Nie!?"
"Guards! Control everyone on site!"
"Hurry and invite the Immortal Master of the Immortal Pill Pavilion!"
"It's too late! Colonel Nie's breathing is weakening!"
The crowd became noisy, horses galloped out, and rows of guards surrounded the place.
The scholars outside the pavilion were a little nervous, whispering to each other, not knowing what to do.
The officials on the stage were even more nervous, including the prefect of Chaoyang Prefecture.
There is no other way. Although Lieutenant Nie is in the eighth rank, his backstage is tough. The person standing behind him is an immortal!
The prefect could only pray for a miracle.
Then, a miracle happened.
"I can save him."
A calm male voice sounded from the crowd.
Everyone was shocked by these words. Everyone looked up and saw that the speaker was a man in white robes.
The most surprising thing is the man's long snow-white hair.
The cold wind blew by, and his white hair danced with the snowflakes, like a god!
Such a temperament gave the magistrate a glimmer of hope, and he asked: "Who are you?"
"Do not ask."
Yi Ning spoke softly, with a cold tone.
An official immediately yelled: "This is the magistrate, a bold and crazy man, and you haven't paid me your respects yet!"
Yi Ning's face was as cold as frost, and she looked at the speaker: "Do you want to accuse me?"
"???" The man didn't respond.
But some people read something, such as the prefect.
My seat?
Coupled with this white hair, thin white robe, this temperament...
Is the other party an immortal? !
This guess surprised and delighted the magistrate, and he hurriedly came forward and bowed: "Are you an immortal master?"
"Um."
Yi Ning said very little and walked to Nie Lang in a few steps, following his approach.
All the filth that Nie Lang had spit out before dissipated on its own.
This phenomenon directly confirms Yi Ning's identity.
So the magistrate pressed his body deeper and said in a respectful tone: "Prefect of Chaoyang Prefecture, I want to pay my respects to the immortal master."
No one else dared to delay or neglect: "Meet the Immortal Master!"
Yi Ning looked calm and said softly: "I am casting a spell, everyone retreats."
"I will obey the Immortal Master's orders!"
No one hesitated and retreated towards the outside of the pavilion.
In the crowd, Xu Yaochen and his classmates just felt like they were in a dream.
"The person we have called brothers for so long is an immortal?!"
"I actually had dinner with an immortal!"
"Xu Yaochen, you are so unkind, you didn't tell me earlier!"
They were excited and scared.
Xu Yaochen's lips trembled.
"I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it!"
