Chapter 170 Wen Yanzhao, keep this medicine man technique safe for me (1)
After this experience in Guixi City, Xin Baicao's worldview was greatly impacted.
Although he was a genius doctor with outstanding medical skills, he devoted himself to studying medical classics and pharmacology after joining the Yaowang Valley school and rarely went out.
Therefore, they know very little about the outside world.
Apart from some people who found the Medicine King Valley by chance, and the wanderers who came to him for medical treatment and medicine, he really didn't have many friends.
If he was willing to admit it, warming a pot of wine could be considered one.
It goes without saying that Xin Baicao is a kind-hearted doctor, and he has also heard a lot about those corrupt officials who exploit the people and squeeze their fat and blood.
After this trip to Guixi City, I finally got to see it for myself.
The next morning, Wen Yanzhao and Xin Baicao left the inn early on two fast horses.
The reason was simple: the two of them did not want to disturb the villagers who surrounded them last night.
The sun climbed up from the east, and only when it was about to fall behind the mountain did the two men stop their horses and rest by a nearby stream.
The winter in Shu is relatively warm. Even when it is almost dusk, it is still hotter than the early autumn in Tianqi City.
Along the way, the two men did not delay and passed straight through the heart of Shu.
The two horses under his crotch were not some powerful horses that could travel a thousand miles a day, but were just fed some food by Wen Yanzhao.
Xin Baicao rubbed her waist and complained:
"What kind of poison did you feed the horse? It hasn't eaten or drunk anything all the way, but it's running more energetically!"
Wen Yanzhao squatted by the stream, put his fingers into the water and stirred it. Soon, a lot of mole shrimps and silver carp floated up.
He picked up a few of the larger fish and returned to shore.
In response to Xin Baicao's question, he just chuckled and said:
"Senior, you may not know that something can be refined from tea leaves and the seeds of a certain tree."
"This thing is magical. When ordinary people drink it, it can refresh their minds and curb their appetite."
"If cattle or horses accidentally eat this, they will be full of energy and won't need to be fed with grass..."
Xin Baicao frowned and said:
"If workers eat this, wouldn't they be able to work forever..."
"This isn't a good thing. I advise you not to abuse it, lest it harm others."
Unexpectedly, Wen Yanzhao built a fire and said with a smile:
"If it's abused, I'm afraid everyone will come to me to buy goods..."
"Senior, you may not know that in a certain country, the cattle and horses have to pay for a cup of this stuff every day to refresh themselves while working!"
After hearing this, Xin Baicao walked towards the fire with a confused look on his face.
Seeing that Wen Yanzhao had already cleaned up the few silver carp he had just caught (poisoned), he asked tentatively:
"Can you eat this fish? I just saw you didn't cast the net or hook anything..."
"Just stir the water with your fingers, and the fish will float up with their white bellies turned up!"
Wen Yanzhao kept adding firewood to the fire, not paying any attention to Xin Baicao's words:
"How could... the world-renowned King of Medicine be afraid of my little poison?"
"Don't you have anti-poison pills, senior? If you're worried about being poisoned, just take one after you finish eating the fish!"
Xin Baicao pinched her nose and said disdainfully:
"Hey~ How can you take poison yourself? Do you think everyone is as perverted as you?"
The old man and the young man chatted and laughed, and soon several silver carp were roasted on the burning charcoal fire.
The silver carp in the stream has tender meat, few bones and many scales.
In just a cup of tea, the aroma of grilled fish wafts from the fire.
Wen Yanzhao picked up the largest one and handed it to Xin Baicao, who was standing there in a daze.
"Senior, this biggest one is for you!"
Xin Baicao was startled, and immediately jumped to the side and shook his head frantically:
"No, no, no, I appreciate your kindness...you should just eat it yourself!"
"Although I can cure the Wen family's poison, I don't have that many anti-poison pills with me in this wilderness. What if something goes wrong..."
Seeing that he was determined not to eat, Wen Yanzhao had no choice but to shake his head and eat it himself.
……
As the night deepened, although Xin Baicao's stomach was empty, fortunately he had taken a fasting pill, so he did not feel hungry, but felt more refreshed.
Xin Baicao sat by the fire and talked about what happened in Guixi City the day before.
"Wen boy, I always feel that your failure to kill the corrupt officials and the eunuch named Jinru is a hidden danger..."
Xin Baicao looked at the starry sky and said.
Wen Yanzhao was lying on the ground with his back against an ancient willow tree, a fish bone in his mouth, and he looked extremely relaxed.
Hearing Xin Baicao's concerns, he just smiled and then slowly spoke:
"Killing them is just a matter of raising my hand, but if Guixi City is so big and there is no governor who can take charge, the power will inevitably be divided among the local nobles and powerful people."
"Anyway, I left five or six hundred soldiers in the city, and before I left, I gave them a poisonous prophecy, telling them to take good care of the people."
"I'm not afraid that the frightened governor will dare to make a comeback in the near future..."
Xin Baicao casually picked up some dead branches and threw them into the fire, nodding secretly and saying:
"Not bad, not bad. You can be considered to have a clear mind. However, this matter will soon be reported back to the palace by that little eunuch. Aren't you afraid that Zhuoqing will deal with you?"
Wen Yanzhao suddenly sat up and laughed wildly:
"Hahahaha...I'm waiting for him!"
"If I see Zhuoqing again, I will definitely not let him escape from me like last time!"
Xin Baicao had not heard that Wen Yanzhao poisoned the soldiers in Tianqi City and defeated Zhuoqing.
He didn't ask much, but just sighed:
"Alas... Yanzhao, even if you can save a city, what will happen?"
"You can't save the world by yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yanzhao put away his previous expression, walked up to Xin Baicao, bowed solemnly and said:
"What the senior said is absolutely true!"
"This is why Yan Zhao asked the senior for the medicine man technique. If Yan Zhao could obtain this technique, he would definitely reshape Beili and rebuild the world!"
Xin Baicao sat on the ground, looking up at Wen Yanzhao with a solemn expression, and was a little speechless.
In his world, apart from medical skills, pharmacology and inheritance, he doesn't seem to have any big ideals.
I never thought that this young man, who was less than eighteen years old, had such lofty ambitions...
He looked into Wen Yanzhao's deep eyes, opened his mouth, and hesitated.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Wen Yanzhao pointed in the direction of Tianqi City and said:
"Senior, do you know the power-hungry and unreasonably suspicious King Xiao Chongjing in Tianqi City?"
"The Xiao family's ancestor, Xiao Yi, was born in a commoner family and was worthy of being called a great leader!"
"Since the founding of Beili, we have worked tirelessly day and night to build a prosperous and powerful Beili!"
"But each generation is inferior to the previous one. If it weren't for the assistance of the two generals from the Xilin Baili family and the Yunxi Ye family, how could someone like him, with his limited talent and virtue, have ascended to the throne?"
"During Emperor Tai'an's reign, Beili declined further. In his pursuit of power, how many foolish things did he do, killing loyal ministers and generals and disregarding the suffering of the people?"
"These... even if you live in seclusion in Medicine King Valley, you should have heard of them!"
"Senior, you're right. Yan Zhao really can't save so many cities and towns in the world, but if I raise my arms and rally the forces of the Jianghu and the feudal lords..."
"By then, with the ability to cure people, I will be able to overthrow his corrupt and lawless Beili Imperial Family and rebuild the world!"
