The Imperial Hospital, Ling Xiao was looking for something among the medicine stones all over the mountains, while complaining, "Ning Chen, can it work?"

"Of course, why should I find you if I don't?"

In another pile of medicine stones, Ning Chen showed half of his head and responded, saying.

"Ahem, I'm choking to death"

Ling Xiao coughed a few times, and was so suffocated that he was dying of ecstasy.

"Don't look for me next time. It's too painful. It's better to find someone to fight."

"vulgar"

Ning Chen didn't raise his head, and raised a finger behind the hill and said contempt.

"General Ling, when will you be able to enter the innate world?"

"Ahem"

Ling Xiao coughed again. This time he was not choking by the smell of medicine stone, but was scared by Ning Chen's words.

"That's the truth first. Do you think the innate is a cabbage, and you can enter it by saying that you can enter it. As far as I know, no one in Daxia can enter the innate except the dean of Tiancang Academy."

"What's your level?" Ning Chen pulled out a piece of saltpeter and asked casually.

"Eighth Grade of Post-Self-Grade" Ling Xiao replied proudly.

"I despise you"

Ning Chen raised a finger again, only eighth grade, not enough for Qingling to hit her hand.

"You know nothing"

Ling Xiao disdained to argue with him that the eighth-rank master in Daxia could already be the commander of the first army. He was in the palace, and the strong gathered, so he did not show any signs of the mountain and did not leak water.

"I've got all the first grades, I just practiced it two days ago."

“…”

Ling Xiao was speechless. He really couldn't refute this. Cang Tianlian saw that he suffered a lot to enter the first level of martial arts. Who would have thought that this guy would be able to enter this rank in a daze without knowing anything.

"You are lucky." Ling Xiao was not convinced and couldn't help but reply.

"It's also a skill to be lucky. Look, isn't this game of the messenger of the Big Bill Kingdom just fighting for luck?" Ning Chen stood up, beat his sore waist and said.

"Yes, why do you call it Big Bill Country?" Ling Xiao said strangely.

"You can't even see this. Didn't you notice that their people all have big pie faces?" Ning Chen replied naturally.

"Brother, you are such a talent," Ling Xiao gave a thumbs up and praised.

"False name" Ning Chen said modestly.

"By the way, I'll ask you, what's the use of finding these things?" Ling Xiao said with his nose covered.

"You will know in a while, General Ling, please ask you something."

"explain"

"Don't let others know what we are looking for today. Even if the Changsun... no, even if the Queen asks, you don't know. Just put the blame on me." Ning Chen raised his head and said seriously.

"What are you asking?" Ling Xiao asked with a different face.

"Don't you know the plague?"

"I know"

"The consequences of this thing being transmitted are much more terrible than plague. People are greedy and sometimes they will do anything to achieve their goals," Ning Chen sighed.

Ling Xiao was shocked, struggled for a while, and nodded. He probably understood the implicit meaning expressed in Ning Chen's words. If this is true, this thing cannot be spread.

"Thank you," Ning Chen said with gratitude. He believed in Ling Xiao's character. However, even if he took a step back, even if the things they were looking for today were known by Changsun and Xia Huang, it would not be so simple to find the correct formula.

For this reason, he took a lot of things, and even the few medicines he had asked Ling Xiao to look for were mostly useless things, with the purpose of disturbing the audiovisual of the eyeliner in the palace.

There is no certain thing in this world. In case something may happen, he has to judge a gentleman by the heart of a villain.

Of course, the only and most important reason is that he doesn't want to die, and this recipe is a life-saving talisman. As long as it is not leaked, his head can be kept.

The two of them struggled for a long time and almost turned the entire Imperial Hospital over. However, with Changsun's oral orders and tokens, several imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital did not dare to come forward to ask, so they could only let the two of them make trouble.

Changsun had no intention of asking for a jade pendant to return, so Ning Chen carried it himself. This thing was very useful. If you see him, it must be similar to the gold medal of ignoring death.

In fact, Changsun’s good intentions were not because she had forgotten it, but because she knew that Ning Chen was a troublemaker. If one day she didn’t have time to rescue him, the jade pendant could temporarily save her life.

"Ahem, it's almost done, withdraw."

Ning Chen found the last thing, snatched it a few times on a bunch of things, then got up and said.

"good"

Ling Xiao couldn't stand it anymore. When he heard Ning Chen's voice, he grabbed the things and left without saying a word.

“Where to go”

After taking two steps, Ling Xiao suddenly stopped and saw Ning Chen with a contemptuous look on his face, scratched his head and said.

"Ministry of Industry Workshop" Ning Chen despised.

"So far?" Ling Xiao said reluctantly.

"You can't go, I didn't force you," Ning Chen said indifferently. If you have the ability, you won't go.

"Haha, just talk"

Ling Xiao smiled angrily, how dare he not go? Ning Chen was easy to say, the key is that there is someone above this guy.

Time was tight, so the two of them did not dare to delay, so they rushed to the Ministry of Workshop.

In Tianyu Hall, when the palace maid came up to pour wine, Changsun "accidentally" knocked over the wine glass, scolded the palace maid, dipped his fingers in the wine, and secretly wrote the word "drag" behind the wine pot.

Due to angle issues, Zhenji Kingdom could not see anything, but Emperor Xia, who was sitting on the high dragon throne, could see clearly.

"Empress, what if I have a bet with you, what if I add another 50% of the bet? I can use Bai Ruoyuan's four and a half years to bet on the 30,000 war horses of Zhenji Kingdom."

Emperor Xia said calmly, shocking the ministers present. At this moment, even the three dukes' eyes flashed with surprise. Under such unfavorable conditions, they had to bet again. Wouldn't it be intentionally cheaper to Zhenji Kingdom?

Hearing Emperor Xia's words, the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom frowned slightly, thinking in his heart, but he couldn't figure out what Emperor Xia was thinking.

Logically speaking, when Emperor Xia raised his bet at this time, he either bluffed and forced him to give in, or he was really sure of winning.

The total reserves of war horses in Zhenji Kingdom are less than 40,000, which is obtained after purchasing from different places through various channels over the years. Taking out 20,000 to bet is the limit, and it is impossible to add more.

Although he had absolute confidence in the five people behind him, he could not gamble at the price.

"Emperor Xia, let's think about it for a moment." Zhenji Kingdom couldn't figure out what the problem was, and said with a serious expression.

"Yes," Emperor Xia nodded and said accurately.

Under his seat, Changsun sneered. The position of his standing determines his vision. The small land of Zhenji Kingdom is destined to be able to get out of this limitation no matter how smart his messenger is.

Daxia has a vast territory and is more than ten thousand miles away. It can afford to bet or lose.

When the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom was considering it, the ministers of Daxia were also trying to figure out the intentions of Emperor Xia. For the first time, they discovered that they really couldn't understand their emperor.

Time passed little by little, and Emperor Xia on the dragon throne did not urge him. The expression of the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom below was changing. I have to say that Emperor Xia’s proposal was very tempting. Bai Ruoyuan’s use rights for the past five years made it difficult for him to refuse. However, when he thought of the price he paid, it was also unbearable.

War horses are different from ordinary horses. Like Daxia, Zhenji Kingdom, they are not as sweat-blooded horses as the Northern Meng royal court, which can produce a large number of war horses. Ten thousand war horses require more than 100,000 horses to cultivate and screen.

The yield rate of war horses has never been ten, otherwise Daxia would not have been gambled with a place as important as Bai Ruoyuan.

After waiting a lot, the envoy of Zhenji Kingdom finally sighed. He admitted that he still could not convince himself to be happy to gamble. Zhenji Kingdom was ultimately not as good as Daxia. They could not afford such a huge price.

"Empress, it's OK." At this moment, Ning Chen quietly walked back and signaled.

Changsun nodded and immediately pointed at Emperor Xia, indicating that he was ready.

"Can the messenger have a conclusion?" Xia Huang asked.

The envoy of Zhenji Kingdom came out and said in a deep voice, "The Xia Emperor's proposal is very tempting, but I was ordered to come here and cannot change the king's intentions. I hope I will forgive you."

"I don't force this, and the bet is as good as before. If someone comes, I will set up the Zhengqi Palace."

"Abide by the order"

The ministers knelt down and immediately withdrew from the Tianyu Hall and walked towards Zhengqi Palace in a mighty manner.

Zhengqi Palace is a unique palace built by craftsmen in the previous dynasty. The four palace gates in the southeast, west and northeast are seemingly ordinary, but only those who have been in know that unless you mark it, it is almost impossible to come out unless you go back the same way.

The gambling game is very simple. After each chooses one palace gate and enters, just walk out of the other palace gate.

The envoy of Zhenji Kingdom sent one of the five white-robed Confucian scholars into the hall. When he arrived at Daxia, Ning Chen came out to face the thunder again without any surprise.

Ning Chen carried a big bag with dry food, water and jerky on it. This was borrowed from the imperial kitchen.

The envoy of Zhenji Kingdom sneered and didn't care. Even if you prepare ten days of dry food, the five Heavenly Hearts have calculated that if it goes well, half an hour will be enough.

"If you lose, you don't have to come out." Seeing the big bag of things Ning Chen carried, Changsun frowned and said angrily.

"If you win, let me out of the palace?" Ning Chen smiled shyly and finally tentatively.

"Let's talk about it then," Changsun refused to say anything and said lightly.

Ning Chen was not disappointed, and hummed twice in dissatisfaction. He knew that this would be the result. Anyway, he had already found another way out, and it would be too late for Changsun to stop him.
