Mu Zhiming suppressed the chill in his heart: "May I ask Master Shaogu, is there a solution to this poison?"
Qu Qianning brought over the wooden tray that had just been put on the table, and handed the medicine jars on it to Mu Zhiming: "This bottle can be tested for poison, take a bowl of water, sprinkle a couple of medicinal powders in it, to dispel doubts. Put a poisonous object in a bowl, and if the water turns black, it means that the object is contaminated with ghost ivy."
"This bottle is an antidote. Take it every day, and it will be cured after 27 days. But you must remember that you must not be contaminated with poison during the period of taking the antidote, or you will lose all your efforts."
"Do you remember everything clearly?" Qu Qianning asked as she put the bottles in Mu Zhiming's arms.
"I remember it clearly, thank you Master Shaogu." Mu Zhiming was very grateful.
"Hmph, if Qiubai hadn't begged me, who would have helped you." Master Shaogu pouted, raised his chin and went out.
Now that the cold scorpion poison in Mu Zhiming's body has been resolved, and he has also obtained a way to identify the ghost ivy poison, it is urgent to return to the capital to investigate the poison.
Mu Zhiming didn't care about the injury of his arm, and after saying goodbye to Qu Qianning, the master of Shaogu, and Fu Qiubai, the county master, with Gu Heyan, he rushed to the capital without stopping.
Day and night, the two rode their horses for five days and arrived at the boundary of Jingzhou.
There are many steep mountain roads here, and it is difficult to travel at night. When the moon and stars are scarce, the two rushed to the foot of a towering mountain. Seeing that there was an inn here, they decided to rest here.
The inn was quite lively. There were three tables of diners in the lobby, and they were talking about the Taoist temple. When they approached the door of the inn, Gu Heyan said to Mu Zhiming, "Go and rest your legs first, and I will tie the horse into the stable. Feed me some fodder."
"Okay." Mu Zhiming nodded, walked into the inn, found an empty table and sat down.
The clever little Er stepped forward to say hello, Mu Zhiming ordered a few dishes, looked at the door and waited for Gu Heyan.
At this moment, a person walked in outside the door of the inn.
He was dressed in dark gray clothes and held a knife wrapped tightly in a cloth in his hand. His normal facial features were not eye-catching, but Mu Zhiming's eyes were still fixed on his face.
Because this person Mu Zhiming recognized.
He is Fu Yi's secret servant, Xiao Ren.
After Xiao Ren walked into the inn, he went straight to the counter. The shopkeeper was writing the ledger with an abacus and a brush. He felt someone walking in front of him, and he raised his head and smiled to greet him.
Mu Zhiming saw that Xiao Ren asked the shopkeeper something, and then the shopkeeper answered him a bunch of questions and pointed to the door of the inn.
Outside the door of the inn, it is the towering mountain.
Xiao Ren nodded and turned to leave the inn.
Mu Zhiming sat in his seat and waited for a while, and after confirming that Xiao Ren did not look back, he stood up and walked to the counter.
The shopkeeper was muttering: "One-way money, two-way money... eh?" He raised his head, put his hands in his hands and smiled kindly: "This guest officer, what do you need?"
Mu Zhiming: "May I ask you what the man said to you just now?"
"Is that the swordsman just now?" Jian Mu Zhiming, the shopkeeper, nodded and said with a smile, "Oh, he asked me about Xuanqing Taoist Temple."
Mu Zhiming was confused: "Xuanqing Taoist Temple?"
"Huh?" Seeing that he didn't know, the shopkeeper was surprised: "The guest official has traveled so far, but he doesn't know about the Xuanqing Taoist Temple?"
"I just passed by here by chance, and I ask the shopkeeper to answer my questions." Mu Zhiming bowed.
"This Xuanqing Taoist Temple is on the top of this Xuanqing Mountain." The shopkeeper pointed to the mountain outside.
The inn is located at the foot of the mountain, and the inn is located at the foot of the mountain. At first glance, it is impossible to see the whole picture of the mountain. The only thing you can see is pitch black and boundless, and the only thing you can hear is jackdaw falling branches.
"What does this Taoist view say?" Mu Zhiming asked.
The shopkeeper opened the chat box: "This Xuanqing Taoist Temple once lived in a Taoist priest, and he claimed that he knew about the past life."
"What?!" Mu Zhiming shouted in a stunned tone, startling the shopkeeper and attracting the attention of other diners.
The shopkeeper patted his chest and said with a smile: "Guest officer, it's all rumored by others. I don't know if it's true or not, so don't be so surprised."
Mu Zhiming took two deep breaths and suppressed the strange trembling in his voice: "That Taoist priest, how is it now?"
The shopkeeper said, "He is no longer alive, he was eighty-six years old, and he was driving a crane to the west in his dream."
"Not in this world..." Mu Zhiming murmured and saluted, "Thank you for the information from the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper smiled: "You're welcome, guest officer, you ordered the dishes in that little second-hand shop, so go sit down and eat something warm."
When Mu Zhiming left, the shopkeeper lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the abacus, when he heard the cry of a baby coming from the back room.
The shopkeeper hurriedly walked to the back room, where a woman was holding a baby in her arms, shaking and coaxing softly.
Seeing the shopkeeper coming in, the woman asked, "What happened to the lobby just now? There seems to be a sudden sound."
"It's nothing, a guest official asked Daoist Xuanqing about it." The shopkeeper walked up to the woman and teased the child with his fingers, coaxing him not to cry.
"Daoist Xuanqing? I quite like his story." The woman said, she gently shook the child in her arms and smiled softly, "The baby doesn't cry, my mother will tell you a story, okay? It's a legend. , There was a Taoist priest on Xuanqing Mountain who knew about the past life and could not predict the prophet. Later, he fell in love with a woman and fell in love with her, but the woman died of a serious illness. In the rest of his life, someone jokingly said to him, you haven't met her in your previous life, so as long as you forget what happened in this life, you won't be in pain? Daochang Xuanqing heard the words and left crying and laughing, no one knew about him Where did he go? After half a year, Daoist Xuanqing reappeared in the Taoist temple. He really couldn’t remember the events of this life. , who is that?"
The woman's voice was as gentle as a spring breeze. As she spoke, the child in her arms stopped crying and fell asleep peacefully.
The shopkeeper sighed and walked out of the inner room to the counter to pick up the abacus and continue accounting.
After asking the shopkeeper, Mu Zhiming returned to the wooden table with a lot of thoughts and worries.
After feeding the two horses, Gu Heyan left the stable and walked into the inn, looked around to find Mu Zhiming, sat down on the wooden bench opposite Mu Zhiming, but at a glance, he realized that Mu Zhiming's expression was wrong.
"What happened?" Gu Heyan frowned slightly.
General Mu Zhiming told Gu Heyan about Fu Yi's secret servant just now, as well as the fact that there was a Taoist priest Xuanqing here who claimed to know about the past life.
"If you don't rush back to the capital, you must climb to the top of the mountain and go to Xuanqing Dao to have a look." Mu Zhiming said.
Gu Heyan: "I will come with you when the turmoil in the capital is settled."
Mu Zhiming: "Okay."
After the conversation, the two of them held the chopsticks and served the dishes. Mu Zhiming was overwhelmed by things in his heart, and the food tasted nothing.
Seeing his appearance, Gu Heyan put down his chopsticks, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Thinking too much is useless."
Mu Zhiming put down his chopsticks: "But it's not a coincidence that Fu Yi sent someone here, I don't know what he wants to do, so I feel inexplicably uneasy, He Yan, I haven't been able to find a chance to tell you, in fact, Fu Yi He also has past life memories."
Gu Heyan was surprised: "What?"
Mu Zhiming: "Not only that, we also know that each other has memories of past lives, and I have argued with him about this matter. I saw that Fu Yi married Xiang Shi, the daughter of the commander of the Imperial Guard, as in his previous life, and the contacts and connections that he attracted were different from those in his previous life. The power he tried to take into his pocket was more than in his previous life, indicating that he still covets imperial power in this life."
"But what's different from the previous life..." Mu Zhiming analyzed the current situation to Gu Heyan, "I changed from his staff to his biggest obstacle. If he wants to ascend to the throne, he will not only be the prince, but also the prince. Killing Ji'an is indispensable. In this life, I will fully support Ji'an, and because I clearly know Fu Yi's wolf ambitions, I am extra vigilant to him. He will definitely treat me as a serious concern and will never let me act."
As for Fu Yi saying that he likes him, Mu Zhiming never believed it.
Speaking of this, Mu Zhiming said helplessly: "I originally thought that I have memories of my past life in this life, and I don't need to worry about seeing through Fu Yi's tricks. game."
"But..." Gu Heyan said slowly, "King Su should not know that I am also reborn."
Mu Zhiming was stunned for a moment.
It was as if a drop of water fell into a silent pond, breaking the calmness of the water in an instant, causing ripples in circles.
Yea, how could I have never thought of this.
Fu Yi has made countless calculations, can it be calculated that Gu Heyan is also reborn?
He hides it from the sky, pretends to be indifferent to power and just wants to protect himself, will he think that in this world, besides Mu Zhiming, is there anyone else who knows what he did in his previous life?
Gu Heyan said: "Don't think about it, let's eat, these days are hard to travel, eat more."
Mu Zhiming nodded and picked up his chopsticks: "Okay."
Leaving the boundary of Jingzhou, the two continued on their way, arriving in the capital eleven days later.
After discussing with Gu Heyan, Mu Zhiming decided to leave for now. Mu Zhiming returned to the Hou's Mansion to find out whether the tea was poisonous, and Gu Heyan returned to the General's Mansion to deal with the military affairs of the Rongyan Army.
After Mu Zhiming said goodbye to Gu Heyan, he rode his horse and galloped to the Hou's Mansion. The doorman saw him dismount, and was busy serving him last time, and reported to the inside: "The Hou Ye is back!"
"Is A Yin there?" Mu Zhiming asked as he walked into the mansion.
"Master, I'm here! I'm here!" Since Wen Heyin heard the news that Mu Zhiming was returning to Beijing, she couldn't hold back her excitement. She had been waiting in front of the mansion every day for the past few days, and now she heard Mu Zhiming calling him , trotted over, "Master, you're back."
The two hadn't seen each other for months, and they hugged excitedly when they reunited. Mu Zhiming was thinking about the tea, and said to Wen Heyin, "Ayin, run to Dr. Kuang's house for me and let him He gave me some of the Mingqian Longjing that King Xian gave him before."
"Okay!" Wen Heyin took orders to do it, and jumped up with a light effort.
Mu Zhiming checked the mansion and sent someone to inform Mu Boren and Xian Wang Fu Ji'an that he had returned to Beijing safely and that the cold scorpion poison in his body had been resolved, so that they didn't have to worry too much.
An hour later, Wen Heyin returned to the mansion, but he was empty-handed: "Master, Dr. Kuang is not in the mansion, the emperor is seriously ill now, all the imperial physicians are in the palace, and they can't come out at all. No one knew where he put the tea leaves, so I couldn't get the tea leaves."
"What, is the emperor already seriously ill in bed?" Mu Zhiming's heart trembled.
Who now sits on the dragon chair and holds the power? !
At this time, a servant came to report: "Master Hou, His Royal Highness King Xian is visiting."
Mu Zhiming: "Quickly please!"
When Fu Ji'an saw Mu Zhiming in the inner room of the study, his face was ashen, and one sentence made Mu Zhiming fall into an ice cave.
"The emperor fainted due to illness, and the prince was in charge of the country."
