Chapter Eleven Wanted Criminals
Chapter 11 Wanted Criminal
Huang Jian smiled heartily and said, "Little brother cured my hand and wanted to pass on my indestructible mental method. Even if I have ten lives, I will not be enough to repay such kindness. Whether it is a sword or a hundred swords, I will hand over all my iron-raiding career in the second half of my life to my little brother!"
Fang Ling smiled slightly and then began to teach him the Vajra Heart Method. Fang Ling's understanding was extraordinary. After hearing this Vajra Heart Method, he had a preliminary understanding of the method of cultivation. Like other martial arts, this Vajra Heart Method starts with body training, and then to Qi training, and finally the Qi is integrated.
However, the method of practicing the body of the Vajra Heart Method is different from other martial arts. It emphasizes the tempering of the body. The best way to use is to stand under the waterfall, and the waterfall constantly impacts the body, and then cooperate with the mind method to practice day after day.
Moreover, in order not to affect the treatment of his arms, Fang Ling just taught him the mental methods first, so that he could understand these things in his heart, and then start practicing after arriving in the stone city.
Although Huang Jian is a blacksmith, he has a very good memory. He listens and remembers it, and he will be memorized in a short while.
After half of the Vajra Heart Method was passed on, Fang Ling began to refine Peiyuan Pill. Refining this shallow pill was already easy for him. It only took one incense stick to clean the medicinal materials, and it took one hour to refine. After refining one pill, he handed it to Xiao Xue first.
Then he began to refine the other two, one for himself and the other for Huang Jian.
Fang Ling knew very well that Huang Jian was of great significance to him. If he wanted to unify the Chu State in the future, the army would be indispensable, and the weapons of the armed army would definitely be the top priority.
If Huang Jian refined weapons and equipment better than Qingshuiguan Saber, the power of the entire army would be increased to a higher level.
Therefore, Huang Jian is also the object he must cultivate, healing his arms, the Vajra Heart Method, and this Peiyuan Pill, he will create the strongest blacksmith!
At the same time, Fang Ling also discovered that this alchemy was actually a process of cultivation. Every time when fire was burned, the sun fire power and moon ice power in the body were stimulated to varying degrees. When they wandered in the body, the three alchemy took four hours. After the refining, they not only did not feel tired at all, but instead felt energetic.
Compared to Fang Ling's progress every day, Xiao Xue's progress can only be described as slow. She even occasionally thought about whether to let Fang Ling refine better elixirs, but when this thought came to an end, she immediately cut it off. With Fang Ling's understanding and memory, she was afraid that she would give the prescription to her.
Moreover, seeing that he actually improved Huang Jian's useless hands in a short time, he became even more alert to this guy and did not dare to leak the prescription.
The next day, the three of them continued on the road and began to go to Zou County.
Zou County is one hundred miles away from Qingshui Pass and is located on a bustling commercial road. Although it does not produce supplies here, it has become one of the important trade distribution centers near Qingshui Pass because of its convenient transportation. There are many business trips.
However, when the three of them came outside the city, they suddenly realized that something was wrong. They were not for anything else, just because there were portraits of the three people posted on the gate of the city!
The portrait is very appropriate to the appearance and description of the three people. Huang Jian’s portrait is a bearded man with a mole on his eyebrows. Although he is not well drawn, his characteristics are very obvious.
Fang Lingze painted a young man in white, with a handsome outline of thin lines, but Xiao Xue had an outline, with only a few words written below, and the country's beauty is beautiful.
Fang Ling couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and even speculated that the portrait was written by Wu Tianbao, because among the people who had seen him, except for the strong men and the post station owner, only Wu Tianbao might even be able to draw.
The crimes of the three were also exaggerated. Huang Jian was the murderer who killed a family in the county, while the two were accomplices.
The three of them quickly retreated to the side, and Huang Jian hurriedly said, "Little brother, what should I do now? I didn't expect Wu Tianbao to use such a vicious move."
Fang Ling smiled faintly and said, "Just shaved your beard, then put your hunter hat down and cover your brows, so that it will be inconspicuous. Then we will go in separately, and it should be no problem."
Huang Jian praised his good idea and quickly picked up the hatchet and shaved his beard.
Fang Ling looked at Xiao Xue at this time and said, "Only Miss Xiao, you really can't hide it. You can see that you are a beautiful country."
There is obviously a bit of praise in this sentence. If others praise this, Xiao Xue would not take it seriously. However, when this annoying person said this, Xiao Xue couldn't help but feel a little proud and said, "What do you want to do? Will you make me ugly? Or should you dress up as a man?"
Fang Ling glanced inadvertently at her bulging chest and smiled evilly: "That's a good idea, but the face can be hidden from others, but this figure cannot be hidden from you."
Xiao Xue didn't pay attention to his gaze. She couldn't help but glared at him fiercely, blocked her chest with one hand, and said viciously: "If you dare to look around, I will dig out your eyes!"
Fang Ling beat her up, not reassuring her threat, and smiled and said, "It's too obvious during the day. Let's go to the city at night. This way, it's even more like a woman dressed in a man."
So, when the lights first came on, the three of them entered the city in two groups.
Huang Jian pressed his animal skin hat underneath, and his beard was gone. It was very smooth to enter the city. As for Fang Ling and Xiao Xue, the two young men went in, there was no question.
After all, there are so many scholars these days, and there are a bunch of scholars everywhere.
After entering the city, the three of them found a small inn and stayed in, and left the horses to the waiter to take care of them.
Since parting with her mother, two days have passed, and three days have passed before the appointment to meet at Pingtan Pass. Although the plan is comprehensive, Fang Ling can't help but worry about her mother, and her hatred for Queen Song has become stronger.
It’s okay to make things difficult in the hall, but he even gave Ma Kai the assassination order, which shows that he is as poisonous as a snake and a scorpion. How can such a person be worthy of being the queen?
What's even more ridiculous is that his father was still kept in the dark and didn't know that there was such a thing. He didn't want to judge this person who had no feelings at all, but in fact he was a father because he couldn't choose who to be his father. The only thing he could do was to choose his own life path.
One day, this father will also know that Queen Song is the mastermind behind the scenes, while her innocent mother has been in the Ice Palace for sixteen years. I wonder what expression would this man at the top of the royal power at that time?
In order to avoid being exposed, Fang Ling ordered the waiter to deliver the meal to Xiao Xue and his friends' rooms, and he went downstairs to eat.
Although the prosperity of Zou County is not as good as the imperial city, it is quite good as a county. Even this small inn is crowded on the first floor, and there are many people living in the restaurants and eating.
The reason why Fang Ling went downstairs to eat was not without a reason, but just to hear some news. This is also a habit developed in the palace.
In the palace, intelligence is equal to life. Which father-in-law gets the reward of the empress, which father-in-law offends the empress, which guard accidentally makes mistakes, is punished by the emperor, and which guard makes meritorious service. All these information is a compulsory course for people in the palace. Otherwise, if you cast a wrong backer, it is equivalent to putting your neck on the blade.
The source of information is news, especially the chat after dinner. Many people can't stop talking and leak some secrets.
He Bao and his group rode war horses and dressed as soldiers. They should be very prominent on the official road. Zou County is a distribution center for merchants and travelers, and various news will also spread here. If you can get news from He Bao and others here, it will be easier to grasp their movements.
Fang Ling ordered two stacks of side dishes and a plate of braised beef. While waiting for the dishes to be served, he heard a group of people sitting next to him chatting.
One of them had a hero scarf on his head and the young man dressed in a martial arts man said enthusiastically: "Have you heard that? The day before yesterday, His Highness the Great Prince made a big splash!"
A man of the same age next to him nodded and said, "Yes, I only found out the day before yesterday that our Emperor Chu has more than one son, and there is one son who has been staying in the cold palace."
The young martial artist smiled and said, "Isn't that true? But this eldest prince is really not a big deal. His Majesty asked a hundred questions to test his problems!"
"One hundred problems? Wow!" Several people around were also attracted, and they all opened their mouths.
Fang Ling laughed in silence when he heard this. How many dozen questions spread here turned into one hundred problems, which is really an exaggeration.
The young martial artist enjoyed the eyes of everyone and said seriously: "This hundred problems were carefully selected by Your Majesty. He prepared for seven days and seven nights. They are all headaches that the court cannot manage in recent years. Your Majesty asked the eldest prince these hundred questions in turn. What do you think?"
"How many answers did the eldest prince answer correctly?" a younger man couldn't help but say curiously.
The young martial artist slapped his thigh and said, "Is this still necessary? Of course, all one hundred problems were solved!"
"Wow!" Everyone was surprised.
The young martial artist said again: "The eldest prince has more than that. After answering a hundred difficult questions, His Majesty sent another hundred imperial guards to test the eldest prince's martial arts."
Fang Ling felt a little dizzy when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the young man more. The young man was only in his 20s and looked very upright, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and just looking at his face was quite decent.
