The Infinite Journey of the Sage

Chapter 077 Eight Tigers

Since Eunuch Liu left, he has never visited Kelal again.

Kelal was not surprised at all.

The eunuchs grew up in the imperial city and are extremely short-sighted. When they need you, they beg you and coax you. Once they no longer need you, they will even turn a blind eye to you.

This is common. They are so snobbish, so they are annoying in all aspects. If you have a friend who only contacts you when he needs you or asks for your help, such a person can be regarded as your friend?

Of course not, the other person is just using you. You are just a tool. When he needs you, he will come back to you, and when he is done with it, he will put it back.

It's that simple.

Kelal doesn't mind being used as a tool, and anyone who uses him as a tool will eventually be controlled by him.

Momentary interests cannot influence Kelal's thoughts. Kelal is like a fisherman who puts down his food and slowly waits for the other party to take the bait.

Eunuch Liu has never been to Keilar's medicine hall since he got the "prescription" for sugar water and his own "recipe" from Keilar.

That's the way it is, who is going to the hospital if there is no disaster or illness? Hospitals are not a nice place to be.

After getting Keilal's "secret recipe", as the manager of the imperial kitchen, it was easy for him to get special treatment.

After getting Keilal's prescription, he changed it almost every day. He didn't know whether it was a hint from his heart or because the recipe was really effective. He slept more recently, his hair fell less, and he even leaked urine. There has been some improvement.

He is really a capable person - he thought in his mind that it is a pity that he is a foreigner. It would be great if he was a Chinese. It would be a good idea to get him into the palace to serve him like this.

He had a "good intention" and wanted to give the glory and wealth in the palace to others, but he never asked others if they were willing to be stabbed.

But fortunately, Keilar is a foreigner, so his coercive methods will not be used on Keilar.

Now he only thinks of Keilal occasionally when eating.

Because of Keilal's sugar water, the emperor is now healthier and favors him more, and because of the emperor's favor, his adoptive father also values ​​him.

He is not the only adopted son of his adoptive father. In fact, he is like a figure on the level of his adoptive father, the Eight Tigers. I don’t know how many little eunuchs want to be his adopted son, and every time he accepts an adopted son, he will work hard to help the adopted son. Become the head of a certain department.

Whether it's in the garden room, in the royal kitchen, or in charge of health, maids, logistics, or warehouses.

These are all fat vacancies, but they can all be taken in to show filial piety.

And after these adopted sons become managers of these departments, they are worth less than eight people and more than ten thousand people.

In fact, the positions in the palace are not enough for these disciples and disciples. There are only two eunuchs in the palace who insert their adopted sons into various departments, while the influence of the other six eunuchs is actually outside the palace. The Royal Horse Eunuch The great eunuch of the imperial palace controls the imperial guards of the palace, and the great eunuch of the imperial study reviews memorials in the name of the emperor. Compared with these two, the other four may be less powerful, but they are still more powerful than the two in the palace. Eunuchs are more powerful.

But the advantage of the palace lies in its proximity to the emperor.

The wealth and honor of the eunuchs were all given by the emperor.

Therefore, no matter how powerful you are, it is better to stay close to the emperor.

As Eunuch Liu, he held an important position in charge of the emperor's diet. Apart from the palace maids, he was the only person the emperor had to come into contact with every day.

Therefore, Eunuch Liu was recently praised by the emperor for his change in diet, and his adoptive father praised him for the emperor's praise, which immediately made his bones lighter by several kilograms.

It's just that he had previously thought of letting Kelar attack to diagnose the emperor.

But that was just a fleeting moment. The political risk was too great. Not only him, but also his adoptive father might be implicated.

What's more, the emperor's complexion is getting better day by day, so there is no need to take such a risk.

So this matter just appeared in his mind for a while and then he never thought about it again. However, his adoptive father's expression has become worse recently.

Looking, hearing and asking, first of all, these eunuchs are much better at the word "look" than others.

They must learn to observe words and emotions from an early age.

Not only your adoptive father, but you need to carefully look at the face of anyone with a higher status than you after entering the palace, otherwise you may be killed at any time.

Almost everyone has the right to live or kill the little eunuchs, and almost all the little eunuchs who are not eye-catching enough are eliminated in these processes.

Eunuch Liu was not only able to survive, but also became the adopted son of one of the Eight Tigers. It is obvious that his ability to observe words and emotions is definitely the strongest in the palace.

There was something wrong with his adoptive father's expression, he could tell at a glance.

"What's wrong with your father? Do you want your son to ask the imperial kitchen to make some tonics for your father to replenish your body?"

Perhaps the cooking skills of the Imperial Kitchen are by no means the best, but when it comes to stewing tonic herbs, they are definitely excellent.

After all, it was a tonic for the emperor, something used to save the emperor's life. How could it not be precious? How could it be bad?

Eunuch Liu had a flattering smile on his face. He was obviously in his thirties, but he lay on the knees of the middle-aged man in his fifties and gently tapped his knees with his little hands, just like a real son.

No, most sons are not as filial as him.

In fact, the relationship between the two is more than just a foster father and son. Eunuch Liu was molested by this foster father before. The relationship between them is closer than others think.

Eunuch Liu's wealth was tied up in his adoptive father's car, so he couldn't help but care about his adoptive father's body.

For someone like him who is a die-hard adoptive father, if his adoptive father falls, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive. Even if he survives, I am afraid that it will be a more terrifying torture than living. He will go from being one of eight people to one of ten thousand people. After losing his power, anyone can dominate him, and everyone's humiliation towards him is a reflection of his current prestige.

So he was actually more concerned about this matter than the emperor's body.

His adoptive father was over fifty, but because he had taken good care of himself, he looked like he was in his forties. He seemed to be only a few years older than him. His face was pale, he showed a kind smile, and raised his thin hands. Come on, wave it, and suddenly cough.

The more he coughed, the worse he felt. He felt like he was about to cough out his lungs. Liu Eunuch just felt that his face was wet, and thought it was his adoptive father's spit. However, when he wiped it with his hand, he found that his adoptive father was covering his face. Blood actually oozed from the fingers in his mouth.

At that moment, the hairs on his hair stood on end.

He wiped his face, and when he found blood on his face, he screamed like a little girl who had been raped, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming! The imperial doctor! The imperial doctor!"

…

Looking at a group of imperial doctors who were discussing matters in low voices, Eunuch Liu's bad feeling became even worse.

"What happened? Is my adoptive father's health in serious condition?" When he said this, he really wanted them to deny his words.

But as the saying goes, the less you want something to come, the easier it will come. This is probably the case with Murphy's theorem.

Things always take a turn for the worst.

"Eunuch Liu, I'm sorry, Eunuch Liu's body is already..." A group of imperial doctors looked at each other, as if to give each other courage.

"Eunuch Liu's body is already extremely ill..."

"What does it mean to be terminally ill!" Eunuch Liu grabbed the other party's collar and screamed loudly.

"That is to say... Eunuch Liu's body may not last this autumn." The other party said helplessly.

Now they are actually not afraid anymore.

Once one of the eight tigers dies, the remaining seven will not protect the tiger's body and bones, but will swarm it and eat it.

This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened in history, so once the tiger dies, the man in front of him has nothing to fear.

What's more, the imperial doctor came here because of the power and power of the Eight Tigers, not the power of the head of the imperial kitchen in front of him. Eunuch Liu was very impressive in the palace, but it was just because his adoptive father was one of the Eight Tigers. Once he lost Without his adoptive father, he, the director of the imperial kitchen, would probably have to pour chamber pots for others.

After hearing the words of this group of imperial doctors, Eunuch Liu froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

He is just a dog who relies on human power.

He knows this matter better than anyone else. Once his master is gone, he may not even be as good as a dog. Dogs can kill and eat meat, and can also look after homes and homes. Why do others want him to come? ?

Since he is useless, then he is not qualified to stay in the imperial kitchen, stay in the palace, or even stay at the feet of the emperor.

He didn't want to die, but at that point, living was more terrifying than death.

He trembled all over and returned to his room in a daze. He looked at the treasure in his room with great pity. Although it was not as good as the Eight Tigers, it was still more than enough than the other eunuchs.

Eunuch Liu felt chills all over when he thought that the treasure in this room would become someone else's in a few months.

We can't let him die, we can't let our foster father die! He can't die!

Eunuch Liu was like a wolf trapped in a desperate situation. One idea after another popped up in his mind, and then went out again.

Finally, only one idea came to him.

Like a drowning man grasping at straws, he left the palace overnight.

It had only been half an hour since the news came that Liu Bian, one of the Eight Tigers, was in failing health. The imperial doctors were still detained in the palace and had not left.

After Eunuch Liu was locked up in the palace, he still had six hours, that is, twelve hours.

If it weren't for Keilal, he should actually run away, take his money and run far away, waiting for the news that his adoptive father died and was eaten clean by the other seven tigers.

But Keilar left a deep impression on him. Keilar obviously didn't display any superb medical skills, but he did have a magical medical skill that could prescribe the right medicine. He just said a few words and didn't even have a prescription. Opening made both him and the emperor comfortable. If this is the case, shouldn't his medical skills be more exquisite than he showed?

When the call came to Kelal's hospital at 11:30 in the morning, Falme opened her eyes in an instant, revealing her naked body. She took out the pistol from under the pillow and gently opened the safety. .

Keilal sat up next to her - yes, after District 11, Falme kept secret and slept in the same room and bed with Keilal.

He held Falme's hand.

Come with a brisk smile on your face.

"Is it finally here?"

"Mr. Kelar?" Falme asked in a low voice.

"I'll explain this to you later. You wait for me at home." Keilar didn't change her clothes, but walked downstairs in her pajamas and slippers.

"It's so late, who is it?" He opened the door and shouted dissatisfied.

"Mr. Kai, save me!" Eunuch Liu lay at Kailar's feet, hugged Kailar's knees, and said loudly.

"No, Mr. Kay, save my adoptive father, save this country," he screamed.

"Master Liu, it's so late, what's wrong with you?" Kailar pretended not to know anything.

"No, it's too late to explain. Mr. Kai, come with me!" He gritted his teeth. There was still a quarter of an hour before the door was closed. If he didn't leave, it would be too late.

He grabbed Keilal's arm and walked directly into the carriage. Anyone who could afford to sit in the carriage at the feet of the emperor must be rich or noble. "I'll have a detailed discussion with Mr. Kai in the car."

An ordinary person would never get into a carriage with a desperate eunuch in the dead of night.

But Keilal has been waiting for this opportunity for three months, so why would he hesitate?

He followed Eunuch Liu into the carriage generously, only to see Eunuch Liu screaming sternly at the little eunuch driving the carriage as if he wanted to kill someone: "Don't go back to the palace yet!"

"Yes, foster father." The little eunuch was so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak. As for why a foreign man from Kelar came into the palace late at night, he didn't even dare to ask.

"Mr. Kai, my adoptive father is dying. I only ask Mr. Kai's skillful hands and kindness to save my adoptive father's life!" He whispered in a low voice as he slowly moved forward with the wheels in the carriage.

"If I remember correctly, your adoptive father is..."

"To be honest, it's one of the Eight Tigers, Liu Bian, Eunuch Liu!" He looked at Keilar, his eagerness and expectation could hardly be concealed.

Kailar looked at him and smiled slightly: "According to the people of the world, the Eight Tigers bring disaster to the country and the people. The death of one of them is really a thing that the world will mourn."

Eunuch Liu's expression changed, and he suddenly became murderous.

"However, my interaction with you, Master Liu, makes me feel that the evaluation of father-in-laws in this world may be a little wrong."

He looked at Eunuch Liu and said sincerely.

Eunuch Liu's face became a little better: "Then my adoptive father..."

"As for whether it can be treated, I still have to see the patient first before making a decision." He was so calm that he didn't look like he was about to enter the most powerful political center of the empire. This complacency completely infected Eunuch Liu and made him His face slowly calmed down.

"Then I'll leave everything to you." He bowed in the car to the end.
