Chapter 17 Worry-free

Heavenly Taoist is a person who doesn't pay much attention to common things. In addition to practicing Taoism for great success, his daily hobbies are quite interested in the study of medicine. When he travels around and practices, he often obliges to treat diseases and poisons for the people, and whenever he encounters strange and miscellaneous diagnoses or strange poisons, he can't control himself like a gourmet. Now when Xu Jinghong talked about such a poison that he didn't know its origin, he was full of interest.

And Xu Jinghong was also happy after seeing his attitude. He has seen the ability of this Taoist. If there is no Taoist to treat him at the beginning, I'm afraid that even if he succeeds, he may not be able to survive. So now that he mentioned that he wanted to have a look, Xu Jinghong naturally did not allow it, and he was even more hopeful: "If you can get the treatment of the Taoist priest, Lian'er will have hope."

Tianji Taoist smiled and said, "Everything has its own destiny, and the old man can only do his best. I'll go with you later."

With this relationship, Xu Jinghong was already in a depressed mood and became much more cheerful. He often toasted several old people and asked about Nagwich's identity. The demeanor of this old man is definitely not an ordinary person, and Xu Jinghong wants to know more about his situation.

Xu Zhengnian did not hide this. He pointed to Govich and said, "Brother Ge is also a legend in our Song army. At the beginning, when he was under Marshal Feng, he also made many military achievements. From an ordinary soldier, he accumulated credit and became the commander of a battalion. Later, because of a war defeat, he was blamed by the powerful in the court and finally lost everything. His wife and children were killed, and he could no longer show his true face..." Speaking of this, the old marquis's face showed a sigh.

On the other side, Govich was very calm and was not moved at all because someone mentioned his past tragic experience. After sighing for a while, Xu Zhengnian continued: "Because I had a deep friendship with him at the beginning, I tried my best to find him after the incident. Huangtian lived up to his painstaking efforts, and finally let me find Brother Ge, who was dying, and left him with me for so many years.

"In these years, he has made suggestions for me behind my back, which is why I am a loyal and brave Marquis. It can be said that without Brother Ge, I would not have the status of Xu Zhengnian today.

Xu Jinghong looked at the old man in surprise and couldn't help sighing in his heart. It seemed that everyone had their own past. What just surprised him was why Xu Zhengnian told himself all this? He just asked casually. Does he need to say everything about the other party in such detail?

Soon, Xu Jinghong's doubts were answered. Because Xu Zhengnian continued to say, "I know that my Xu family has done a lot of things todui bu qi your mother and son over the years, so I came to meet you today to formally apologize to you. In fact, everything in the past has passed, and now we still have to look forward, so Jinghong, I hope you can give up your previous grudges and return to the door wall of my Xu family..."

Xu Jinghong was also a little moved when he looked at the solemn appearance and eager expression of the old marquis. Because he knows that as long as he nod his head, he will return to the Xu family, and with the support of the huge family, his position in the court will be more consolidated. But this idea only flashed and was abandoned by him. It's not that his grudge against the Xu family has been deeply untied, but because he feels that this is not good for him.

With Govich's precedent, his matter is really not too big. The other party can even endure the hatred of killing his wife and son, and the experiences he has suffered in the past are not too much. But this is only from the perspective of resentment, but the reality makes Xu Jinghong unable to re-invest in the Xu family like this. Because his current position is a lonely minister, the emperor dares to give him such great power. Once he returned to the Xu family, the situation was completely different. Naturally, the emperor had to worry that his power was too great and threatened him, and even returned to the family to suppress imperial power. In this way, Xu Jinghong has no place to gain a foothold in the capital at all. At that time, I'm afraid that the Xu family will not accept himself.

Xu Jinghong, who quickly made a judgment, shook his head gently: "I know my grandfather said this out of concern, but I have never had a so-called family relationship with the Xu family, so there is no need to go back. It's just that I can also make a promise in front of my grandfather that as long as the Xu family will not be my enemy in the future, I will not deal with them for everything in the past.

Xu Zhengnian sighed regretfully. In fact, he knew that there would be such a result, but for the future of the Xu family, he still tried to say it. Now it seems that Xu Jinghong's return to the Xu family may be gone, but at least he has such a statement, which is also a gain.

"Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore. Our Xu family failed to make you the leader of our family's rejuvenation, which is the loss of our Xu family. After the last sigh, Xu Zhengnian was a little sad. He picked up the glass and drank a glass full of bitter wine.

After a little cold, Xu Zhengnian said again, "Although you don't want to go back to my house, I still have to remind you of some words."

"Grandfather, please." Xu Jinghong felt much more relaxed when he saw that the other party did not insist any more. So although he knew that he wanted to persuade himself not to be so anxious to be an enemy of these many courtiers, he still asked him to speak up.

"It's too reckless for you to suddenly take these many people into the National Security Division, especially when there are two backers of the prince and King Yong behind these people, which is even more unwise. Indeed, from the point of view, the emperor dominates everything. As long as your majesty trusts you, no one can do anything about you. But after all, your majesty is too old, if one day... And once the prince and King Yong succeed to the throne, I'm afraid that their officials will regard you as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of it quickly. Don't you want to prepare for the future?" Xu Zhengnian's words are very important.

Xu Jinghong listened humbly and finished his words before saying, "Grandfather's considerations are very reasonable, but grandchildren also have their own grievances. Now Your Majesty can give me such great power because I have nothing to do with the courtiers. If I act timid now, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will be dissatisfied with me. At that time, let alone the future, I can't stand in the court now, so I am really forced by the situation.

"And I am not disrespectful to those officials invited by the National Security Division. In addition to being unable to contact the outside world and losing their freedom, they still have the dignity of officials. As for what the prince and King Yong will do in the future, it is not what I can expect now.

Xu Zhengnian originally planned to persuade Xu Jinghong, so that he could open up and release all the officials in his hand, so that Xu Shihao could also give an explanation to the above. But now it seems that Xu Jinghong will not completely follow his intention unless he speaks out his intentions directly. This made the old marquis's heart bitter. After all, there are his grandchildren on both sides, and he really can't favor one over the other.

So after some meditation, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Since you have an overall arrangement and plan, I can't persuade you anymore. I just hope that you can think about some things in the long run and don't do things that you regret because of your momentary anger. For example, in the fight between the prince and King Yong now, it's not a matter for you to stay away like this. You must make a choice as soon as possible.

"Grandpa's exhortation was written down by Sun'er." He agreed very sincerely, but Xu Jinghong had some doubts in his heart. Why is it that Xu Zhengnian always speaks a little strange today, but what is the reason?

This time, several people's reunion was quite harmonious. After drinking at the beginning of the lantern, the four broke up and left Fanlou. This time, Tianji Taoist followed Xu Jinghong back to Guoansi, because he was eager to see the poison on Chu Lian'er's body.

After returning to Guoan Division, Xu Jinghong did not pay attention to other affairs and immediately took the Tianji Taoist to Chu Lian'er's residence and asked him to diagnose her.

With half a cup of tea on Chu Lian'er's wrist, Tianji Taoist let go of his hand, and the two snow-white eyebrows were tightly twisted together. This made Xu Jinghong's heart, who was watching. If he couldn't even save people, Chu Lian'er's situation would be too dangerous.

"Taoist priest, the poison on her body..." Xu Jinghong hesitated for a long time and still asked in an astringent voice.

"Well, the poison on her body was very domineering, but it was diluted because of the internal force." Speaking of this, Tianji Taoist looked at Xu Jinghong: "Is this your hand? Only the authentic skills of my Xuanmen can have this effect.

"It was my hand, just because she suffered this injury because of me." Xu Jinghong didn't dare to hide it, so he told the story, and then asked uneasily, "Why, did this hurt her?"

"That won't be enough." Tianji Taoist shook his head: "Actually, if you were poisoned, it would be fine. Although this poison is domineering, it can still be suppressed by our internal forces. As long as we try our best to exorcise the poison, it can be eliminated in a few days with your current cultivation. But now it is someone else who is poisoned. No matter how deep your internal strength is, you can't help him detoxify. However, this also has one advantage, that is, it temporarily controls the toxicity.

"But most poisons attack people's brains or internal organs to kill people, and the effect of this poison is the same. If you hadn't rescued in time and temporarily suppressed the toxicity, and later there were people who knew medicine to block the spread of the toxicity with needles, I'm afraid she wouldn't be in this situation.

"But this also has its disadvantages, that is, to let the poison stay in the meridians of her limbs, thus making the poison sick. So even now that we know the origin of this poison and even get the right antidote, I'm afraid it has no effect on her.

"What?" Xu Jinghong shouted out in shock, "Then will she be so sleepy all the time? This...it's because of me that I have become like this. I..." He said with self-reproach

"That's not so much." Unexpectedly, Tianji Taoist turned his words around and said, "Although this poison is a disease, I am still 70% sure to save her. It's just that I have to spend several days and a lot of energy to deal with it.

"Really?" Seeing that Tianji Taoist nodded solemnly, Xu Jinghong's heart suddenly rose: "If the Taoist priest can really save her, I am very grateful."

"When we practitioners can save people, we will definitely save them, and you don't have to pay too much attention to them. But if you really feel that you owe the old way this time, I hope you will kill less in the future. Think of those who died because of you, and their relatives and friends care about them as much as you do, and you can feel their pain. Tianji Taoist seized the opportunity to persuade Xu Jinghong in due course. In his opinion, this young man who made a lot of murders came from himself, so he has an obligation to stop him from doing such a thing.

After Xu Jinghong was stunned, Zheng turned his head: "Don't worry, I, Xu Jinghong, am not a person who likes to kill indiscriminately. From now on, as long as there are people who can not kill, I promise to save their lives..."

"Everything in the world has its cause and effect. You can kill less, which is also a help to your future destiny." Finally, Tianjidao took out a delicate box from his wide sleeve, and then took out a row of golden needles from it.

"Is the Taoist priest also going to use a needle to cure the poison on Lian'er?" Xu Jinghong is a little strange. In his imagination, Tianji Taoist should be as internal as he is to channel toxicity.

"Now the toxicity has been suppressed in the meridians of her limbs and has become a dead object. If I want to save her, I have to reactivate them with needles and then use other means. Now I need absolute silence, please go out and watch the door for me. Once it's time to get started as a doctor, Tianji Laodao will change the demeanor of the previous person and become a little domineering.

But Xu Jinghong did not dare to disove. Immediately after looking at Chu Lian'er lying in **, he exited the door.

After taking a deep breath, Tianji Taoist held the needle in his hand, and then made a dazzling move. In just a short flash, Chu Lian'er's body was full of long golden needles. And this is just the beginning. Tianji Taoist dares not slack off at all. While gently twisting the end of the needle with his hand, the needle can penetrate the straight acupuncture points and meridians of the human body, while staring at Chu Lianer's face to see if she has any further reaction.

After more than half an hour, Tianji Taoist quickly pulled away a few needles and then pointed out several acupuncture points. Then there is a needle, a needle, a needle out, a finger... Such a continuous cycle.

Xu Jinghong was outside and staring at all this at the beginning, but soon, he couldn't stand it, because the Tianji Taoist's action was so fast that he was dazzled. However, judging from this, the other party did do his best, so Xu Jinghong was much relieved and began to unconsciously figure out what to do in the future.

Even without Xu Zhengnian's persuasion this time, he could not have done it against many officials. After all, these people have a lot of responsibilities in the court. Once something goes wrong, there will be a big problem in the operation of the court. I'm afraid that the emperor will not allow him to do so.

But this does not mean that Xu Jinghong just intends to catch people and be satisfied with his prestige. He still wants to attack a few people, and the goal is people who are closest to the prince and King Yong and play a pivotal role in the court. Now he has been sure of Zuo Yunqing, the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies, and Mei Chengfeng, the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies.

One of these two people is the backbone of the prince. As an official of the Ministry of Ceremonies, he valued the ethics of the elderly and young. He also has professional knowledge to build momentum for the prince. The other is one of the keys for King Yong to compete with the prince in the court. The status of an official servant who can appoint and remove officials below the fifth grade in the court is still quite important.

As for how to find out their charges, it's easy. As long as Liu Kaiyang opens his mouth, there are several other people in the family who have been tortured and are about to collapse. It's just a matter to remove them.

Of course, convicting these two people is not what Xu Jinghong wants to think about. What he has to think about now is how to deal with the possible counterattack of the prince and King Yong after this. Judging from the situation at the court meeting, the prince could no longer tolerate what he had done and wanted to fight back. Although King Yong is still tolerant now, he obviously can't stand it for too long. Soon he will be attacked on both sides, and the situation will be very bad.

However, this is exactly what Xu Jinghong wants to see. Because otherwise, how can the emperor fully believe that he is a lonely minister who is dedicated to doing bad things for him? Therefore, the more fierce the attack on him by the prince and King Yong, the more consolidated Xu Jinghong's position in the emperor's mind will be.

Now there is only one problem that Xu Jinghong is worried about, that is, what the remnants will choose after knowing their ultimatum. If he can't force them like this, he will disappoint the emperor and cause unnecessary trouble, which does make him a little uneasy.

Just as Xu Jinghong was immersed in his own thoughts, a moan suddenly came from the room. When he woke up and looked over, he saw Chu Lianer suddenly bounce up under the treatment of Tianji Taoist, and then spit out his black blood.

Xu Jinghong's heart tightened and couldn't help asking, "Taoist priest, this is..."

The Tianji Taoist laid Chu Lianer flat again before wiping the sweat on her forehead and said, "This is a good phenomenon. Part of the poison in her body has been forced out by me. However, this is only the beginning, and it will take ten days and a half months to cure him tomorrow.

"That's hard work, Taoist priest." Xu Jinghong saluted gratefully and relaxed completely. Without this mind, he can put all his mind on dealing with the enemies outside.
