Chapter 127 Yongding Pharmacy

As the New Year approaches, the wanderer returns home, the wanderer returns home, and all the people in the road are cut off.

When the rooster crows, it is particularly quiet.

However, under the elm and poplar trees next to the official road, where leaves had fallen and only twigs of dead branches remained, there was a gathering of dark people, each wearing swords around their waist, dressed in strong attire, and with a serious face.

Although there were many people, they didn't make any sound.

Everyone's gaze more or less fell on the person at the forefront.

The thick fog crossed the mountains and spread out, covering most of the city of Tongzhou on the plain ahead. Therefore, even if the distance was only a few miles, the outline of the city was blurry.

Xie Wei is still dressed in white.

His tall stature, sitting tall on a jujube red steed, although he did not see any swords or swords, he shed a third of the scholarly aura in the court and instead had an unusual sharpness, towering like a sword hidden in a scabbard.

The cold mist rushed onto the person's face, but it exuded a sense of solemnity.

The swords, qin, and books are all behind him.

At present, although no one drew their swords and swords, all of them were facing the Tongzhou City, staring closely at something.

The east has now turned fish belly white.

Almost as the first ray of light rose from the ground in the morning, breaking through the mist, a faint white light rose from the edge of the city into the sky, like a white line, disappearing in an instant.

The sword, qin, and book suddenly shook all over.

A good game has been planned for a long time, and it is the perfect time to close the net.

But he had no joy in his heart.

Xie Wei also brought this faint white flame into his eyes, and the deep condensed pupils darkened at the end. However, there was no expression on his face, which was as ruthless as a god that could not be reached. He raised his hand and gently waved forward, and lowered his eyes, saying, "Let's go."

What does the capital and court mean to her?

At the moment of getting off the carriage, Jiang Xuening stared at the inn across the street and pondered for a long time.

The mist gently floating in the city, along with the cold winter wind, rushed towards her face, wetting her simple dress, making her hang her head and couldn't help but look at herself at the moment.

There is no fully pressed hairpin ring.

An unbound silk.

There is no need to consider secular customs, but in the city of Tongzhou, which is only a few tens of miles away from the capital, no one knows her identity. Having seen her appearance, naturally no one knows that she is the unlucky second daughter of the Jiang family and the accompanying reader of Princess Leyang in the palace.

All the burdens were lost in an instant.

If a person has not experienced it, they will never understand what is most important to themselves based solely on their childhood fantasies.

In the previous life, Wanniang told her that women were born to deceive men, and that they were born to seek glory and wealth. The most prestigious and successful woman in the world should sit next to the emperor, holding the phoenix seal, and let other women in the world live their lives by her eyes.

She was fed up with those snobbish and cold words in the countryside.

Later, upon returning to the capital's Jiang Mansion, upon learning of her true background, she was filled with a sense of injustice and displeasure. Thinking that the high and mighty Heavenly Lord owed her, she climbed to the top of the ox horn and worked tirelessly to climb to the position of the Lord of the Six Palaces.

Glory has arrived, wealth has arrived.

But with these people, they will covet them, and life will not be peaceful in the countryside. Entering and leaving the palace was even more of a dream. If she wanted to watch a lantern festival, she begged Shen Jie. This elegant and cowardly Nine Five Lord couldn't take her to the market to experience the true flavor. Of course, it was a surprise for her to have a lantern festival in the palace, but it fell into the mouth of the Minister of Clear Water and became a luxury for her, frivolous and superficial.

This is wrong, and that is also wrong.

If she had followed her wild temper back then, she would have picked up a stick and knocked one by one at these nonsense old scholars, not letting go until she hit her head and broke her blood.

But she happened to be the queen.

I regret wanting to throw away the Phoenix Seal, but the powerful officials who were attached to her refused, and even the favored concubines in the Six Palaces were watching closely, not allowing her to cross the wilderness with her feet. Moreover, there was Shen Jie who did not agree before, and Yan Lin who conspired to rebel and put her under house arrest later.

A palace, surrounded by four high walls and ambushes on ten sides.

Gradually, I couldn't even sleep well, and it was difficult to sleep peacefully on a long night.

"It's not worth it, it's really not worth it..."

Jiang Xuening stomped her foot and finally thought it through, determined.

"I have money in my palace, and I also have Fangyin's thigh. Leaving the capital is like a fish leaping over the vast sea, and birds flying high in the sky. Where can't we live a good life? Let's fight to the death with them! I don't expect that even a weak woman like me on Mr. Zhang's side can be of any help. Why don't we take this opportunity to leave first, so as not to be caught back in the capital and feel angry!"

As soon as she realized it, she finally glanced at the inn and turned around. Instead of entering the inn, she took advantage of the early morning when Tongzhou City had just woken up in the light. There were not many pedestrians in the road, and her footsteps were light and fast, heading towards the direction of the city gate.

The silver she carried was enough for her to go to Shu.

Last night when she entered the city, she noticed that there was a shop that rented carriages along the way. She had enough money to buy a maid, a carriage driver, and even a strong guard, making the journey to Shu safer.

Winter dawn is late, and although there are fewer outsiders coming and going to the city, the businesses of the shops follow suit. They all want to sell more New Year goods during this festive season, so that they can add more bowls of meat to their homes on the day of the Chinese New Year.

So as we walk, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increases.

The carriage shop is right ahead.

A banner slanted out from the cold wind, and people were entering and exiting the gate.

Not far from the carriage, someone has set up a tea shed on the street, just boiling water to brew tea for those who have just stopped.

"It's really cold this year."

"How can this be considered cold? That's why the northern region is called cold. I just came back from the capital and heard that when the Tatar envoys came to pay tribute this year, several horses froze to death on the way..."

"Pooh, what tribute? They came to beg for peace and marriage!"

"One thing, haha, one thing..."

Jiang Xuening originally only passed by this tea shed and was about to go to the carriage shop ahead. When she heard the word "marriage", she suddenly paused and turned her head to look into the tea shed.

The people sitting in the tea house were dressed differently, rich and poor, and had unfamiliar faces.

But she looked at it but felt vaguely familiar.

I vaguely returned to the day when You Fang Yinyuan married in Shu. After leaving the capital and passing the post station, it seemed like there were similar merchants sitting in similar tea houses, and even their words had similar content.

The sky illuminated by the sun is now shrouded in gray clouds. Rows of houses and old silent city walls suddenly retreated, collapsing and collapsing into a plain covered in decaying grass.

You Fangyin's carriage tied with red silk has already departed.

The Imperial Guards approached amidst the rolling smoke and dust of their horses.

She remembered that she couldn't suppress the sorrowful impulse and asked Shen Zhiyi, "Your Highness doesn't want to stay in the palace either?"

The woman with a hint of heaviness in her graceful demeanor, clearly about the same age as herself, seemed to have blocked the accumulation of depression. However, she withdrew her distant gaze and looked at her in silence, with a faint smile as if she had opened her eyes.

Who wants it?

She said, who wants it?

Who wants to stay in the palace again?

"Give way, give way!"

On the street, a waiter hurriedly pushed a pallet truck full of goods, and saw a person standing still on the road ahead. He couldn't help but hurry and shout loudly.

The things in Jiang Xuening's mind suddenly dissipated with a loud bang.

There is no decaying grass, no gray clouds, no wilderness, nor Shen Zhiyi, only the noisy voices of people in the smoky market, and the curious gazes of those around them.

She woke up and quickly retreated.

The guy pushing the cart didn't pay attention to what she looked like, so he hurriedly pushed the cart away and muttered, "Sleepwalking on the road early in the morning, what's going on?"

Jiang Xuening watched as the person walked away, only then remembered that she was going to rent a carriage.

However, as she stepped back, she felt a bit heavier under her feet.

A sense of emptiness and confusion surged in my heart. My fingers gripping the small bundle slowly tightened, and as I walked, I couldn't move for some reason. I stopped in front of an unopened shop and stared blankly at the carriage shop not far ahead.

She probably stood for a long time.

There was a commotion in the nearby pavement, followed by the sound of the door panels flipping open.

A medicinal boy in green clothes opened the door, holding a square sign with the words "Yongding" written on it. He was about to hang it outside when he looked up and saw a girl's house standing outside. He instinctively asked, "Are you coming to see a doctor?"

Jiang Xuening pretended to be distracted and turned her head to see the medicinal boy holding a sign. She realized that she was standing and obstructing someone from opening the door for business. She said "No", apologized, and walked forward.

However, after only a few steps, I realized something was wrong.

Just now, the signboard in the hands of the medicine boy flashed through her mind like lightning, leaving only the words "Yongding" on top, causing her to stop at once. She turned around and walked back, asking, "Is this the Yongding Pharmacy?"

Xiaoyao Tong just hung up the sign and saw her go back and forth, feeling a bit confused. He replied, "Yes. Are you going to see a doctor again?"

Jiang Xuening looked at the pharmacy and saw that there were many people coming and going around, but there was no sign of being heavily guarded.

She sank her heart for a moment and then asked, "Did a teenager come just now?"

Xiao Yaotong only said that she was here to find someone and said, "I haven't seen her before, but has the girl lost her relatives?"

Jiang Xuening frowned fiercely and said, "Have you never come before?!"

That little treasure intentionally mentioned Yongding Pharmacy to himself just now

She thought the other party would come for questioning!

Not right.

This is really not right!

Jiang Xuening couldn't calm down at the thought of this. Without saying a word, she stepped into the door and said directly, "Where is your doctor? I have something important to see him!"

Doctor Zhang from Yongding Drugstore is very popular in Tongzhou City. He just got up after a night's sleep. He looks healthy and energetic. He just came out of the back hall with a pair of acupuncture and moxibustion. When he saw someone looking for him, he thought it was someone who had an urgent disease to be treated. He also advised her: "I am the one. Don't worry, girl. Tell me who is sick and what symptoms you have. I will be ready..."

Where did Jiang Xuening listen to his nonsense?

Without waiting for the other person to finish speaking, he interrupted him and said, "Mr. Zhang's identity is in danger of being exposed. He has already followed the Heavenly Sect to the Tongzhou branch. Where are the reinforcements from the court?"

Dr. Zhang's eyes widened and he was confused, saying, "What..."

Jiang Xuening suddenly froze and said, "Don't you know?"

Dr. Zhang had never seen such an inexplicable person before, only suspecting that someone with hysteria had arrived, adhering to the benevolent and righteous heart of hanging a teapot to help the world. He replied, "Did you find the wrong place?"

===Kunning Section 167===

Jiang Xuening's blood cooled down inch by inch.

She asked, "Excuse me, doctor, how many Yongding pharmacies are there in Tongzhou city?"

Dr. Zhang said, "This is my family."

Jiang Xuening's mind flashed past the faces of Zhang Zhe, Xiao Bao, Feng Mingyu, Huang Qian, and others in an instant. Her figure shook and she almost didn't stop. She took a step back and barely stabilized, her face turning pale.

Yongding Pharmacy is fake.

The court's support is also false.

How could it be

Zhang Zhe, what should Zhang Zhe do?

Dr. Zhang looked at her and said, "Miss, you don't look very good."

Jiang Xuening asked in a dreamy voice, "Doctor, how can I get to the yamen?"

Dr. Zhang didn't quite hear clearly and said, "There are no patients in the pharmacy either. Why don't you sit down and take a break?"

Jiang Xuening's heart was burning with anxiety at the moment. How could she listen to this old man's chatter? Her face changed, and she showed a hint of fierce and serious killing. She only asked him loudly, "I'll ask you how to get to your mansion!"
