Chapter 115: The Mohist II
The two of them were sticking to one side of the door, listening carefully to the movement outside.
The leading guard slapped the door indiscriminately, and ordered to his subordinates: "Search carefully, and catch alive."
Ruan Linzhou walked out of the room slowly, pretending to be sleepy, and asked them what happened in shock: "My lords, what happened?"
The guards ignored him, and rushed directly into the lighted room, searched carefully, but found no one, turned their heads and asked: "Two assassins have mixed into the harem. This place is remote, have you ever found anything unusual?"
Ruan Linzhou was confused, shook his head and replied: "No, the night wind made the leaves rustle, now that I think of it, it sounded like the sound of people walking on the road, but I didn't see anyone coming out of the forest, maybe you can go and search. "
The leading guard looked Ruan Linzhou up and down, and ignored the appearance of his clothes and embroidered pillow, and prepared to continue searching in the woods.
But a guard threw it over and reported: "No trace of the assassin has been found, only one warehouse is locked, with a door but no windows. I don't know what happened."
The leading guard thought for a while, and said to Ruan Linzhou, "Please open the warehouse and conduct a routine search, for your safety."
Ruan Linzhou looked troubled and remained silent for a while.Chen Chrome and Yuan Jiawen immediately put their hands on their weapons, ready for an encounter with each other at any time.
However, just as the guards were about to break in, Ruan Linzhou's expression suddenly changed, as if he summoned up the courage to rush forward.
The orange fire hit his face, Ruan Linzhou subconsciously stretched out his hands to block it, put it close to the ear of the leading guard, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the medicinal materials in the warehouse are precious, but... yes, for the Queen Mother, take care of them." physical."
When he was speaking, he put the emphasis on the words "rehabilitating the body", and secretly looked into the eyes of the head guard, a certain unspoken secret was about to come out in the eyes.
The guard in the lead was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Ruan Linzhou's words, and quickly made a calculation, saying: "It is locked, and the warehouse has no windows, and even assassins can't enter. If you bother me, let's go."
The guards didn't have any trouble, but they obeyed the order and ran towards the woods.
Ruan Linzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and after sending everyone away, he wiped his sweat and went back to the room. He didn't care about the two of them, and only looked at the wooden slips for a while.
Sure enough, after a while, the team turned the whole forest upside down, and the assassin was nowhere to be seen.On the way back, I passed by the medicine garden, searched again "Ping Ping Pong Pong Pong", said hello to Ruan Linzhou, and finally left completely.
"Professor Ruan is very smart, and he even taught me how to make small pills." Chen He is simply a loyal "Ruan Chui". Waiting is boring, and the two of them are not nervous. He holds Yuan Jiawen's ear and tells him repeatedly. Professor Ruan is so smart.
The mother gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and her family was poor when she was young. She was admitted to university at the age of ten and graduated with a doctorate at the age of 15.The young genius decided to dedicate his entire life to scientific research. At the age of 20, he made a major breakthrough in the research and development of g virus antibody. This year, he is 35 years old...
"Small pills?"
Yuan Jiawen suddenly remembered something, but because Chen Ru was bragging like a long river bursting a bank, he had to cover his ears and complained, saying: "He is too thin! He looks like a flat-chested girl, not my type. I like pectoral muscles Big, rough, the kind named Jiang Yunlang."
Chen Rubai was the same as him, the door "creaked" and was pushed open from the outside.
Ruan Linzhou's face was covered with sweat and his skin was pale. Holding a wobbly lantern, he stood at the door and waved to them: "The guards are gone, come out, it's very stuffy inside."
Chen Rue thanked her repeatedly, and was very curious: "Is Zhao Ji very good? Why are they afraid to come in and check if they say it's the medicine for her?"
Yuan Jiawen nodded to Ruan Linzhou, and said as he walked, "There must be some hidden secret hidden in the medicine, Professor Ruan, why did you become a royal pharmacist in Qin's palace?"
Ruan Linzhou locked the door, took the two to his room, poured water, took out some dry food, and asked them to sit down and eat first.Then he found two black clothes worn by guards for them, and threw the clothes they had changed into the stove that boiled water and incinerated them.
Seeing these things turned into ashes, he sat down completely and began to speak: "A few years ago, Qin Wang Yingzheng found out that Zhao Ji and Lai Ai were having an affair. He couldn't do anything to his mother, so he secretly put a restraint on her. ...that medicine. The guards have been in the palace for a long time, and they have privately speculated that if they find something in the warehouse, they will spread the word every two days."
"That would be embarrassing." Chen Rue was not hungry at all, but he was happy in his heart. He couldn't help but gnawed a piece of air-dried meat, and asked, "Professor Ruan, you are really amazing. You have traveled back to ancient times, and you can still be a senior civil servant." , is the monthly salary high?"
Ruan Linzhou looks shrewd, but his personality is just the opposite, with a slightly nerd temperament.
"The salary is not bad." Before he spoke, he couldn't help pointing his second finger on the bridge of his nose, making a movement of pushing up his glasses, and replied: "My rescue capsule landed in a small town in the very west. , is the border of Qin State. After resting in the town for a while, the army came in to ask the people for help.
"You know, I did a clinical practice when I was in college and successfully revived him. They thought my medical skills were miraculous, so they decided to take me with them. When I arrived at the Qin Palace, I cured a batch of them one after another. People’s diseases, so I was left to be a doctor, but Chinese medicine is still too difficult, I have been learning.”
Chen Chrome nodded, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "It's amazing, Professor Ruan, you are the pride of future human beings. The only one among us who can make money is you."
Yuan Jiawen burped after eating and drinking.
He didn't know Ruan Linzhou very well, and he didn't seem to have the intention of further communication. He felt that the room was dark and dull, and was smothered by the fire. After saying something to Chen Chrome, he walked outside and leaned against the door frame to blow the air.
The sky is full of stars, blinking at the earth in the dark night.
Cheers and laughter came from the room, no matter what the character of the other party was, Chen Chrome could always make others laugh.He talked with Ruan Linzhou for most of the night, picked up interesting places, and introduced to each other his various experiences after time travel.
"So, I'm really helpless." Chen Ru said dryly, and poured down a full glass of boiled water, feeling that Professor Ruan's boiled boiled water was more noble than other people's, "We are obviously a team. Fighting and supporting each other, why did Danzhu suddenly turn his face? The Jin Dynasty is an enemy, he tortured me, I don’t think it’s okay. But Danzhu is my friend.”
The flames jumped, Ruan Linzhou's eyes flickered, and his dark green pupils were shockingly beautiful.
He hesitated and stretched out his palm, touched Chen Chrome's head, and comforted him: "I still think that before the truth is thoroughly found out, one should not arbitrarily characterize a person or a demon. Who would have the heart to hurt you? Xiaoer."
Chen Chrome was stunned by him, his head shook, he didn't dare to show it, he nodded with a smile, and asked: "By the way, Professor Ruan, after time travel, has your body changed in any way?"
Ruan Linzhou shook his head: "Everything is normal, nothing has changed."
Chen Ru rubbed his chin: "But we all have changes. Think about it carefully. Will you be like Li Xinglan, able to get out of your body? Or like Sukla, able to dance to the master? Maybe your IQ will improve But I'm too smart to see it."
Ruan Linzhou laughed loudly, and then broke out into a violent cough.
Chen Chrome quickly patted him on the back with concern and asked, "Are you sick?"
Ruan Linzhou pushed Chen Chrome away, waved his hand, and said, "I was stabbed in the lung by a tree branch when I fell to the ground, and I managed to survive with a little sequelae. It doesn't have a big impact, don't worry."
The two of them got tired of it for a while, and finally they just slept on the same bed, and slept with their feet on their feet like the ancients, and talked vernacular all night.
Yuan Jiawen half-lyed on another small couch, clutching the dagger tightly, sleeping lightly all night.
That night, none of the three of them slept well. Chen He was excited, Ruan Linzhou was excited because of Chen Chrome, and Yuan Jiawen did not trust Ruan Linzhou.
Chen Chrome obtained some very important information from Ruan Linzhou.
First, Qin Wang Yingzheng, or even the entire Qin royal family, has been dispatching troops to various places for hundreds of years, specifically looking for the "elixir of longevity".
In the autumn of three years ago, spies in Miaojiang in the south received important information, and Yingzheng sent Meng Tian to lead the troops there.This trip did not bring back any longevity medicine, but brought the Jiuli Jiang family and the zombie army they cultivated.
From then on, Qin and Jiang began to cooperate.Jiang's great witch is named "Qing Nu", she sold a lot of cinnabar to the Qin State, and has been refining elixir for the royal family.Ruan Linzhou had exchanges with Qing Nv on medical skills and alchemy, and felt that the other party was a very normal and independent woman, different from ordinary people in this era.Because I don't have any offensive ability, after several conversations, I more or less found some information from the Qing girl's mouth.
Ruan Linzhou analyzed that Qin's search for the "elixir of longevity" was probably just a cover, and what they were looking for was some kind of extremely precious "meteorite from outside the sky".
The Jiang family has lived on Xuefeng Mountain for generations. Although their ancestors have raised zombies for generations, they have never gone out to do evil. It is just an "ancestral craft", and it is more used to "drive away corpses".In fact, they didn't have any black stones or anything like that, but there was a blood sacrificial pond in the blood maple forest, which kept Gu poison and zombie viruses for hundreds of years.
The Golden Feather Firebird is one of the sacrifices they most often use to sacrifice.
Combining the information given by Chen Chrome, Ruan Linzhou was more certain that neither the ancient black stone nor the black stone in Jiang Yunlang's hands fell into anyone's hands.However, the Qin State will not stop looking for it. They must be trying to use this god-given sacred object to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, just like the ancient tribes.
Second, the "elixir of longevity" may actually exist.
As a physician in the court, Ruan Linzhou had contact with Qin State several times, and learned that the other party firmly believed in immortality in the world.The longevity medicine may be a kind of potion, it may also be a method, or simply a formation.
"Immortal?"
When he said this, Chen Rue suddenly slapped his head, jumped up from the bed like a carp, and said, "Thank you anyway! Professor Ruan, the night before my trial, you actually... brought down so many Guard, come and vaccinate me, and you still want to save me."
Ruan Linzhou froze for a moment, then nodded after a while, and said, "No...it's nothing, I... like you very much, Chen Wei, I watched you grow up, just like my child."
Chen Chrome asked curiously: "What kind of potion is that? I remember you were saying..."
Yuan Jiawen interrupted suddenly and asked, "It's really thanks to Professor Ruan, otherwise, Chen Rue would be a tough little zombie now. May I take the liberty to ask, what kind of medicine did you inject him with?"
"Lighthouse jellyfish." Chen Chrome blurted out, looking at Yuan Jiawen inexplicably, "Didn't I say it before? You forgot it so quickly."
Yuan Jiawen shook his head helplessly, and told him with Chen Chrome's incomprehensible eyes: sister-in-law is playing tricks on him, understand?
Ruan Linzhou coughed twice, and replied: "Yes, the potion extracted from the lighthouse jellyfish. Do you know that the lighthouse jellyfish can live forever in a sense. They can always return to the polyp form before reaching sexual maturity. Then grow up again. In fact, there are many creatures in nature, the lower and the simpler the structure, the easier it is to live forever. It’s just that this kind of immortality may be very different from what we humans understand and imagine.”
Yuan Jiawen discovered Huadian, and said: "The simpler the structure, the easier it is to live forever, little brother."
Chen Chrome threw a pillow at him, and continued to ask: "Then how did you get my harmonica? I know that when we were on the tarmac, both my box and my mother's box fell to the ground. In a hurry, we took wrong."
Ruan Linzhou sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Chen Chrome. At that time, most of the people in the research institute boarded the same plane. But no one knew that a very famous professor was actually a spy.
"Professor Chen had to run off the spaceship to protect Heishi. The other party sent someone to take her back again, only to find that there was only a harmonica in the box, and then...they threw her off the plane. I'm sorry, Chen Chrome. At that time we It's all under control."
For most of the night, Ruan Linzhou was always apologizing to Chen Chrome.
However, Yuan Jiawen was always picking on the thorns, and asked right away: "Professor Ruan, I may offend you by saying this, but I still have to ask clearly: spies, why didn't you be silenced?"
Ruan Linzhou smiled wryly, stretched out his hand to push his non-existent glasses, and replied, "Human beings have already fled to the space station. Intellectuals are rare, and if one dies, one less will be lost, isn't it? Besides, they are very powerful, and they don't treat us helpless at all. The researcher who binds the chicken is in his eyes."
Chen Chrome: "It's very powerful, do you know who the other party is?"
Ruan Linzhou: "It's meaningless to say these things now. We will escape from the Qin Palace together tomorrow morning."
The next morning, when the sky was getting bright, Ruan Linzhou was the first to open his eyes.
His dark blue-green eyes became as rich as oil paintings in the dim light.He got up slowly, tucked the corner of the quilt for Chen Chrome, stared blankly at his sleeping face for a while, then got up and walked out of the room.
Yuan Jiawen opened his eyes almost the moment the other party stepped out of the room, his eyes were like a falcon hunting.
This period of time is too strange, his invisibility ability comes and goes, and he recovered easily when dealing with the Jin Dynasty. After entering this medicine garden last night, he suddenly disappeared again.
It's just that invisibility is not a necessary skill for him.
The white ghost was already hidden in the darkness while breathing, leaning against a window, his eyes seemed to quietly fall on Ruan Linzhou.
I saw the other party sitting in the corridor, writing something on two sheets of extremely thin animal leather, then rolled them into small tubes, and tied them to the legs of two birds.
Ruan Linzhou patted one of the birds on the head, and the bird flew west without a trace.
After that, he began to be busy outside for a while, struggling to fetch water, light a fire, boil water, and make some simple breakfast.Although he is proficient in movements, he always feels that his surroundings are not well coordinated, and he looks clumsy.
When Chen Chrome woke up early in the morning, he saw Yuan Jiawen squatting by the window, shaking his ears, and only heard the sound of Ruan Linzhou's footsteps walking back and forth outside.
He sat up straight, lifted the quilt, and threw it on Yuan Jiawen's head, covering him, and complained in a low voice: "Professor Ruan is cooking outside, are you just watching here?"
After that, he heard the sound of the bird flapping its wings, and guessed excitedly: "Shall we eat roasted sparrows in the morning? Go help sister-in-law!"
"You don't remember what Li Xinglan said on Mount Tai?" Yuan Jiawen had a strange expression, and Chen Ru's voice was too loud, so he could only shake his head resignedly.
Chen Chrome thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Of course I remember that Professor Ruan might be a spy, but it's only possible. Let's escape with him first and then investigate slowly. Do you want to be trapped to death in the palace?" ?”
Yuan Jiawen's eyes were full of shock: "Have you lost your soul? You will be several times smarter after sleeping."
"Eat a pit to gain wisdom, and the pit I have to eat is almost as deep as the Mariana Trench." Lying on the bed, Chen Ruo kicked Yuan Jiawen's ass, and shouted in a drawn-out voice: "You help me! "
Yuan Jiawen threw back the quilt and went out, pretending to complain, "I've been their cook for so long, I can't even be lazy. Professor Ruan, what can I do for you?"
Ruan Linzhou was sweating from the tip of his nose, dripping on the ground, and shook his head: "It's almost done, you help Chen Chrome tidy up his clothes, dress up a little, and don't be recognized at a glance when walking in the palace."
Yuan Jiawen nodded, turned around and walked into the house.Unexpectedly, Chen Ru rushed out from the inside, bowed his head while walking while fastening his belt, and bumped his head into his arms.
Ruan Linzhou suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Just now I wrote a letter and sent it to the Mohist disciples in Xianyang City, asking them to meet us outside the palace."
Yuan Jiawen stepped forward and took the boiling water in his hand.
Chen Ru rubbed his head, and asked casually, "Is there another one? I heard the bird flapping its wings just now, and thought there was sparrow meat to eat."
Ruan Linzhou was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Give it to the people in the palace, the Qin Palace has strict regulations, and I can't disappear suddenly. The Mohist family has a strong foundation and great influence, so I joined them."
"All of this is too sci-fi." Yuan Jiawen shrugged, mixed cold water into the hot water, asked Chen Chrome to sit in the corridor, poured the water down slowly from a high place, washed his hair, and chatted with Ruan Linzhou at the same time: " Are you a half-breed?"
Ruan Linzhou put the porridge and rice into a small bowl, and the air was filled with the smell of grains mixed with charcoal fire, as if it was a bit mushy, and replied: "Yes, Chinese-German mixed blood, my mother is from Gansu, and my father is from Germany. But They are not married, and I have never met my father, probably a dewy love affair, my mother gave birth before marriage, and died not long after giving birth to me."
Chen chrome screamed ghostly: "Hot, hot, hot! Can you be more serious? Don't always care about other people's **s."
Yuan Jiawen shrugged, and suddenly found something, his face was extremely embarrassed, and he apologized: "Oops, are these two pots of boiling water? I thought one pot was cold water, is your scalp okay?"
Chen Chrome: "If I lose my hair in middle age and the handsome guy doesn't want me, you will die."
Yuan Jiawen grabbed his head indiscriminately, his pale palms were burned red, and his face was slightly embarrassed, and said: "It's okay, even if you are a bald-headed sister-in-law, I want you. I won't look for your elder brother, and I won't deal with any zombies. Let's make a living." Have a good time."
After breakfast, Chen Chrome and Yuan Jiawen got all dressed up.
The Xuanyi thin armor is very close-fitting, with metal-trimmed leather belts, and a bamboo hat that has been dyed with black paint is worn on each head, and the shadow is cast down, just covering the face.
Ruan Linzhou was wearing a gray linen suit with a gentle temperament. It was said that it was the uniform of a palace physician.
He asked Chen and Yuan to wait for a while, and hurried out. After a while, he came back happily with two waist cards, and asked them to tie them on his belts: "Do you know Xiaozhuan, the entry and exit certificate of the Qin Palace? Remember, don't panic when asked."
Then he searched the warehouse in a panic, packed the medicinal materials into a bag, carried them behind his back, and led the two of them out: "What I mean is that there is a shortage of certain medicinal materials in the warehouse, and we must go to the market to order. The two are guards sent to me by Qing Nu to help her find several medicines."
The two followed Yuan Jiawen, one tall and the other short looked very abrupt, walking cautiously in the palace with their heads down.
Occasionally, golden geese flew by in the sky, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Finally, he was about to approach the exit of the back door, but suddenly encountered a pair of patrolling guards.
Ruan Linzhou basically deceived the leader of the guards with the rhetoric he had thought up earlier.
However, the man's eyes flickered and fell on Chen He's face. He was very puzzled in his heart. He immediately drew out his dagger and pointed it at his chest, and asked, "The guards in the harem are not allowed to be equipped with weapons, but you have a long knife on your back?"
Chen Chrome's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously took a few steps back, and hesitated: "Dang...of course not."
