Donor, You Are Persistent, a new work is coming, and Coke novels will be updated first on the entire network!
West Lake is full of freshness and vitality in the morning light.
The morning glow spreads soft light on the lake, and the water ripples like thousands of silver scales shining.
The distant mountains are like smoke, and Leifeng Pagoda is standing quietly in the morning mist. Together with the weeping willows and curved painted bridges on the shore, it creates a fresh picture.
Chen Jin and Bai Suzhen were walking slowly side by side on the lakeside path.
After Qiantang fought the plague together and Rare Treasure Mountain fought side by side against the enemy, the vague tacit understanding and trust between the two became like the vines growing quietly by the lake, entwining themselves deeper and deeper silently.
They didn't say much, but occasionally chatted about the scenery of the lake and mountains. The atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
If a man and a woman can fall in love at first sight, then many things will happen naturally.
"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Mr. Chen." Bai Suzhen tilted his head, with a faint smile in his eyes, which was particularly moving when reflected in the light of the lake. "If the young master had not founded Medicine King Valley in Qiantang and spread the benevolent arts, this beautiful scenery of West Lake would have been shrouded by epidemics and clouds of sorrow."
Chen Jin glanced at a few strands of her hair that were blown by the evening breeze, and said in a calm tone, "Ms. Bai is over-reputed. Helping the world and saving people is what I should do. Besides..." He paused, as if thinking of Medicine King Valley's future blueprint, but too much copper odor ruined the atmosphere at this time, so he changed his words: "It is a good thing to be able to stabilize one party with this."
Before he finished speaking, a burst of loud crying and rough scolding broke the tranquility.
I saw a team of wolf-like officers escorting dozens of prisoners staggering forward.
The prisoners were all dressed in ragged clothes and looked haggard. They wore heavy wooden shackles and iron chains around their necks and wrists. The chains rattled with every step they took, which was particularly harsh.
Some of them still have straight spines, with lingering military courage in their brows, while others look like scribes, but now their faces are covered with dust and their eyes are numb.
"Quickly go! What are you waiting for!"
A guard with a sinister face yelled sternly, and the whip with water in his hand mercilessly hit the back of an old man who was staggering at the end.
"Pah!"
The shadow of the whip pierced the sky, and the old man grunted in pain. The old wounds on his back were instantly torn open, and the blood soaked into the worn single clothes.
"Master Li!"
Next to him, a burly man who was also in shackles, his eyes wide open, struggled to step forward, but was kicked in the crook of the leg by the officer behind him, causing him to kneel down heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
"Hey, do you still think that you are an elite soldier under Marshal Yue?"
The officer who kicked the man sneered and slapped the man on the back with another whip, "Now he is just a prisoner awaiting death! If you are wise, hurry up!"
The shadows of the whip were like poisonous snakes, falling one after another, not only hitting the man and the old man, but also affecting several prisoners around him who were trying to support them.
Cries, curses, and the menacing laughter of the police officers were mixed together, which was incompatible with the beautiful scenery of West Lake.
Bai Suzhen's footsteps stopped.
Her clear eyes quietly stared at the cruel scene, and an imperceptible coldness gradually formed between her originally gentle brows.
She didn't make a sound, nor did she make any big movements. She just secretly pinched a magic trick with her slender fingers hidden in her wide sleeves.
The next moment, something strange happened.
When the officer with a sinister face raised his whip again and struck a woman and child hard, the tip of the whip bent strangely in mid-air and rolled back at an even faster speed!
"Ouch!"
The officer was caught off guard and was hit hard on the face with his own whip, leaving a bloody mark and burning pain.
He covered his face, shocked and angry.
Almost at the same time, the guard who kicked the man also felt his foot slip, and he lost his balance. He fell down in a panic, his front teeth hit the bluestone, and blood flowed out.
"Evil! What a damn evil!"
The officers looked at each other with horror on their faces.
They looked around and saw that the sky was getting brighter and the wind was cold by the lake. Except for a pair of men and women with outstanding temperament not far away who seemed to be looking at the scenery, there was no one else.
"Mo, could it be that you hit a ghost?"
"Come on, hurry up! This place is not clean!"
The officers were so upset that they no longer cared about abusing the prisoners, so they put away their whips and ran away in a hurry.
After the servants walked away, Bai Suzhen slowly stepped forward.
With a flick of her bare hands, the heavy wooden shackles and iron chains on the prisoners fell off silently.
The prisoners looked at all this in astonishment, and then they all knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Suzhen: "Thank you fairy! Thank you fairy for saving your life!"
The old man known as "Master Li" raised his head tremblingly, with tears streaming down his face. "Fairy's great kindness, I will never forget it..."
Bai Suzhen gently raised his hand, and a gentle force stopped everyone from bowing.
She glanced at the overlapping old and new scars on their bodies and the tiredness on their faces. She frowned slightly and said in a gentle voice, "You don't have to be polite. You are seriously injured and your vitality is greatly damaged. If you don't get treatment and recuperation as soon as possible, you may leave the root cause of the disease and shorten your lifespan."
Chen Jin received her gaze and without any hesitation, he took a step forward, faced the group of prisoners, and issued an invitation. "Not far ahead is Peace Preservation Hall under the name of Medicine King Valley. If you don't mind, you can follow us, treat your injuries and rest for a while."
When the prisoners heard this, they looked at each other with gratitude on their faces, but there was also hesitation and wariness.
Their identities were sensitive and they were prisoners of the imperial court. On the one hand, they were afraid of harming the extraordinary couple in front of them. On the other hand, they were also worried that these men and women were the executioners who came to seek their lives.
For a while, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
At this moment, a child in the crowd who was tightly held in his mother's arms, perhaps because of hunger, pain and fright, finally couldn't help but burst into tears with a loud "Wow".
This cry seemed to break the last barrier of hesitation in everyone's hearts.
The woman holding the child had red eyes, and looked at Bai Suzhen and Chen Jin with pleading eyes.
The leader Mr. Li exchanged glances with several other people who seemed to be leaders. Finally, Mr. Li sighed and bowed deeply to Chen Jin and Bai Suzhen:
"That's all, since it's like this... I'm so embarrassed to bother you! I won't thank you for your kindness. If you can..."
Chen Jin waved his hand, interrupting the promise he might have made, "It's more important to treat the injury first."
The group of people then supported each other and followed Chen Jin and Bai Suzhen, walking staggeringly but with a clear goal in the direction of the Peace Preservation Hall.
On the way, through a brief conversation, Chen Jin and Bai Suzhen learned that among these people were soldiers from the old ministry who had fought bloody battles under Yue Fei, civilian officials who had been dismissed from office and exiled because they had written letters to vindicate Yue Fei, and their family members.
They are regarded as an eyesore by the Chancellor Liang party,
This time, Qiantang County was deliberately driven to Qiantang County, which was regarded as a "death place". Its intention is self-evident.
Bai Suzhen Hearing this, he shook his head slightly and explained, "Mr. Li, and everyone else, please don't worry too much about Qiantang the plague."
She turned sideways, pointed her hand at Chen Jin beside her, and spoke highly of her, "This Mr. Chen Jin Chen is the master of Medicine King Valley."
"Qiantang County The plague that was raging before has been cracked by Medicine King Valley led by Mr. Chen, and a special prescription called "Peace Preservation Decoction" has been developed. Now the epidemic has been brought under control, and most of the people who were infected have recovered."
Her words were like spring breeze, blowing away the gloom in everyone's hearts.
The originally dead eyes of the exiles suddenly burst out with incredible light, and they all looked at the man in blue shirt who had always looked calm.
"Is this... is this true?!" Mr. Li's voice trembled, and he was so excited that he could hardly stand still.
There was even a repressed cry from the crowd, and they were happy to have survived the disaster, and they cried with joy.
"What Miss Bai said is true. Peace Preservation Hall is just ahead. Your injuries and illnesses caused by the fatigue along the way need to be dealt with as soon as possible."
Hope was rekindled, and the instinct to survive overwhelmed all worries.
While everyone was in high spirits due to the good news, Bai Suzhen slowed down and stood side by side with Chen Jin. His voice was low and a little apologetic. "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. I saw how miserable they were just now, so I acted impulsively and made an opinion on your behalf. I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you and Medicine King Valley."
"It doesn't matter. If we have a lot of debt, we won't have to worry about it, and if we have lice, we won't be itching. We have a lot of troubles in the first place."
"Now that we have met, we can't really watch them die on the road." He paused, "Besides, Medicine King Valley is a place that treats diseases and saves people. It is only natural that we treat the injured."
Bai Suzhen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a light and genuine smile appeared on his lips. The previous worries quietly dissipated in this understanding and sharing of responsibility.
Chen Jin himself doesn't have much identification with this Fruit, but he still has a lot of respect for the heroes who protect his family and country. Even if Bai Suzhen doesn't take action, he will do so.
Just seeing Bai Suzhen's choice, he couldn't help but feel that he was becoming more and more compatible with him.
At this moment, a stream of cyan light came quickly and landed in front of the two of them, revealing the figure of Xiao Qing.
"Sister! Chen Jin! It's not good!" Xiao Qing was panting, with a look of urgency on his pretty face, "Peace Preservation Hall A beardless old eunuch came over there with a large number of people, saying he had brought an imperial edict from the government! Xu Xian'er is dealing with it in front, let me come back to you quickly!"
Chen Jin Hearing this, a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. "Oh? Did you reward me for saving the people from fire and water? Let's go back and receive the order."
Since Peace Preservation Hall has eunuchs, it is not suitable for these exiles to take Peace Preservation Hall. Chen Jin ordered Xiao Qing to take them to Chen Jin's house for a short rest. Xiao Qing nodded and obeyed.
Bai Suzhen and Chen Jin stopped delaying, their bodies swayed, turned into flowing light, and returned to the Peace Preservation Hall in an instant.
I saw flags fluttering in front of the Peace Preservation Hall gate, and a group of imperial guards with bright armor standing on both sides, creating a solemn atmosphere.
An old eunuch with a white face and no beard, wearing a purple eunuch's uniform, is holding a roll of bright yellow silk satin, standing with his head held high, and his expression is haughty.
Xu Xian'er stood slightly in front. Although his expression was calm, there was also a trace of solemnity between his brows.
Seeing Chen Jin and Bai Suzhen return, the old eunuch cleared his throat and drew out the tone in his high-pitched voice:
"Medicine King Valley Chen Jin, accept--order--!"
Chen Jin lifted up his clothes and came forward, bowing politely.
Bai Suzhen, Xu Xian'er and others also saluted after him.
The old eunuch unfolded the imperial edict and read it loudly. As expected, the content was as expected. He praised Medicine King Valley for developing "Peace Preservation Decoction", which has countless lives and contributed to the country. Then he changed the subject and said that officials worked hard for the country and needed spiritual nourishment. Special order Medicine King Valley Immediately seal up the prescriptions of "Peace Preservation Decoction", all the elixirs in stock, as well as all kinds of treasures, rare treasures and curios collected since the establishment of "West Lake Gathering", and quickly transport them to Lin'an and present them to the palace without any mistakes!
After the edict was read out, the scene fell into silence.
The old eunuch closed the imperial edict and looked at Chen Jin with a smile but not a smile, "Master Chen Valley, the emperor's kindness is so great, why don't you quickly accept the edict and express your gratitude?"
Everyone looks towards Chen Jin.
However, although he expected the official to be so shameless, there was no trace of anger or hesitation on Chen Jin's face. He respectfully took the imperial edict with both hands and his tone was calm:
"Chen Jin, I have received the edict to express my gratitude. Medicine King Valley will definitely prepare all the things needed by the official family as soon as possible and send them to the palace."
He agreed so simply and neatly that the old eunuch who had prepared a speech was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face, "Master Chen Gu is indeed a wise man who understands the general situation and is sensible! Then our family will be at Lin'an, waiting for good news!"
After a few more pleasantries, the old eunuch was satisfied and left with his team of guards.
After they had gone away, Xiao Qing rushed back. When he heard that Chen Jin agreed to the imperial edict, he immediately jumped up, with a face full of confusion and anger. "Chen Jin! You just agreed like that? Then Peace Preservation Decoction was developed by us after hard work! And those treasures, we worked hard... and just gave them to that foolish king for nothing?"
"Xiao Qing, when doing business and making money in this world, it is best not to offend the government."
"If we offend them, a decree can make it difficult for us to move forward in Qiantang, and the foundation of Medicine King Valley may be destroyed in one day."
"What's more, our goal is to earn tens of millions of silver, accumulate resources, and improve our strength. If the supply can be exchanged for official certification, our Medicine King Valley will be more famous than it is now, and we can make more money."
"For this reason, temporarily bowing your head and paying for it is the necessary price."
"It's just some medicinal materials, just give them. As long as the foundation of Medicine King Valley is still there, and as long as this money-making channel can still operate, you can always make back double what you lose."
Xiao Qing stomped his feet angrily. "Chen Jin! Are you confused! They have emptied our medicinal materials and treasures! Without these things at the bottom of the box, how can we cook "Peace Preservation Decoction"? What will we Medicine King Valley sell in the future? Is it possible to drink the northwest wind?!"
Chen Jin casually picked up an extremely ordinary lotus seed from the tea table next to him and placed it in his hand.
The next moment, the shriveled lotus seed expanded and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a bit of green stuck out stubbornly. Then the stalks were lifted up, the leaves stretched, and in a few breaths, a bud quickly formed and bloomed into a crystal clear snow lotus, with petals like ice and snow, and a pale gold stamen.
The cold and fragrant fragrance instantly filled the entire hall. The graceful snow lotus standing in the blue light seemed to have condensed the essence of the moonlight on the top of the snow-capped mountains, which was extremely holy.
Chen Jin With a flick of his fingertips, the newly conceived snow lotus flew lightly towards Xiao Qing.
"Here, let's play with it." He said in a relaxed tone, "It's just medicinal materials. If they want it, just give it to them. We Medicine King Valley, what we don't lack the most is this."
Xiao Qing subconsciously caught the aura-filled snow lotus, and it instantly went silent.
"You... you..." She said "you" for a long time, but she didn't say a complete sentence. In the end, she just held the snow lotus carefully and muttered, "... you are awesome."
