Early in the morning, the team to Qinling finally set off.

In the team, poor Xiao Han was yelled at by Lao Dao with his head, and his excitement had already been scolded at all, and he watched pitifully that a lot of the materials he had prepared were intercepted by Lao Dao.

There was still some distance from the paddy field to the Qinling Mountains, so Ren Qing specially sent a carriage to send Xiao Han and them to the mountain pass.

Into the mountain, this is into the mountain. If you don't go into the mountains again, the sun on a June day will dry them out!

Looking up at the sky, Xiao Han tugged at his clothes and tried to breathe. This hellish weather is so hot that it's hard for hot people to breathe! Not to mention that in order to deal with the insects and ants in the forest, they wear long pants and long sleeves. After a while, the clothes were as if they had been fished out of the water!

"Everyone speed up, it's cool when you enter the mountains!" The big bull walked in front, carrying a medicine basket on his back and hurrying away, God knows how trees don't grow at the foot of this damn mountain! so that they don't even have a place to shade.

The mountain road is rugged, but under the scorching sun, no one can complain! When Xiao Han plunged into the dense forest, he finally felt that he had picked up a life.

"Cool! Refreshing!!! ”

At first, I thought that the cool that the big cow said was just to quench the thirst of the plum, but I didn't expect that this forest was really cool! Especially when you first come in, it's like crashing headlong into an air-conditioned room from a sauna! So much so that Xiao Han couldn't help but open his arms and scream. As a result, he was so frightened that the medicine hoe in the hand of the big cow in the front was thrown out, and he quickly picked it up, and then looked at Xiao Han with resentful eyes.

"Xiao Han, don't be surprised, beware of attracting fierce beasts!" In the team, Sun Simiao was quite calm. took a sip of the tea brought from the water bladder, and turned his head to educate Xiao Han.

just shouted, but it caused so many people to be dissatisfied, but Xiao Han didn't care, but opened his mouth wide and laughed: "Anlaan!" There are so many of us, and there are weapons, and the beast is just a dish! ”

"Then you can't suddenly cry wolf......

"Ahem, who said I was a ghost crying wolf?!"

“…… The weather was really nice today......"

Looking at the few guys in front of him who pretended to be nothing, Xiao Leng snorted. While shaking his clothes and fanning the wind, he looked around.

It was said that this place was completely different from the post road they had taken before, there was only a small path under their feet, which led to the depths of the dense forest.

"That, Daochang Sun. What's our first destination? Taking a deep breath of cool air, Xiao Han shook his head and asked Sun Simiao, who was sorting things out. Unlike Sun Simiao, people are here to collect medicine, while Xiao Han is purely for distraction.

Sun Simiao put the things away, and then said, "There is no destination, this time I am here to find a medicinal herb." ”

"Herbs?" Xiao Han's eyes rolled, and he leaned over and asked, "What medicinal herbs?" I even want you to find it yourself! Tell us about it, and we'll watch it for you! ”

Sun Simiao glanced at Xiao Han, straightened his waist, and shook the soil on the medicine hoe and said, "It's a medicinal herb called basil!" I've heard that someone has found it in Qinling before. So take advantage of this season to find it. ”

"Basil? How does this name be the same as a foreign name? Xiao Han was a little stunned when he heard this name, it stands to reason that he was forced by Old Man Hua to memorize a lot of medicinal materials, but he had never heard such a strange name.

"What foreign country?" Sun Simiao glanced at Xiao Han, and then said as he walked forward: "Basil is said to be quite common in Shudi, but it is still rare to find it in Qinling. If I can find it in Qinling this time, I can try to cultivate some. ”

"Oh, that's not very valuable! Ay? Wait for me! Xiao Han sighed a little disappointed, and was about to say something more, but found that Sun Simiao had already walked some distance forward. Hurriedly shouted, and led the people to hurry up.

Just as Xiao Han entered the mountain, Ren Qing also welcomed several special guests at home.

Ren Qing went out in person for the first time and welcomed the kind-looking old man into the house with a few of his servants.

After watching the seat and letting people serve tea, Ren Qing confessed his guilt, took the letter held by the old man, inspected the fire paint seal, opened the envelope, and carefully read the letters inside. Especially the seals of Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui at the signing office have been carefully identified for a long time.

Confirming that the letter was genuine, Ren Qing closed the letter with a strange expression, and asked the old man in front of him, "What is the matter that the master suddenly came here?" If there is something, but command! ”

It is very strange that Ren Qing used the word master to address this elder.

Teacher, puzzle solver also!

In the ancient times when the teacher was respected, it was not so cheap that the fortune tellers of the stalls could be called the masters! Counting up, only a few high-ranking monks and grandmaster-level people will be named as masters, so it is indeed a little strange for Ren Qing to call this person a master at this time.

The old man, known as the master, smiled at Ren Qing, didn't hurry to speak, and took a sip of tea first. was about to put down the teacup, but suddenly he sighed lightly, and then picked it up again and carefully observed the tea inside.

"This tea seems to be a little different from what we drank before?" The old man looked at the tea in his hand, looked up and asked Ren Qing.

Ren Qing nodded, then got up and poured tea again for the elder, sat down again and said, "Don't hide it from the master, this tea is made by a county called Xiao Han here, and it has the effect of condensing qi and refreshing the mind." ”

"Oh? Hehe, that's good stuff! The elder listened to Ren Qing's explanation, looked at the teacup in his hand thoughtfully, and said, "Then I don't know where this Marquis Xiao is now?" Can I see one? ”

"This ......" Ren Qing hesitated, and then said: "It's unfortunate that the master came, Xiao Hou was not here today, and he went out early in the morning." ”

"Got out early in the morning?" The elder was a little surprised by Ren Qing's answer, but he didn't suspect that Ren Qing would lie, but asked again, "I don't know where he went?" When will I be able to return? ”

"Xiao Hou followed Sun Simiao and Sun Daochang to Qinling to collect medicine, and it is said that he will not come back in three or five days." Ren Qing replied thoughtfully.

"Sun Simiao?! But the real person in Taoism? ”

Suddenly, a slightly harsh voice sounded in the room, not from the old man, but from a handsome servant beside him. There was some surprise in the words, and there was also a little disgust.

Silent, Ren Qing glanced up at the person who spoke lightly, but didn't say anything. Now this is a very formal conversation, how can a servant interject?!

The old man only looked at Ren Qing's expression, and knew that the servant had already caused Ren Qing to be dissatisfied just now. glared at the servant fiercely, the old man stood up and said to Ren Qing: "The discipline is not strict, please bear with me, I still have something to do, so I won't bother much, and when we get to Chang'an in the future, we will talk about it." ”
