Chapter 696: Poison
Cangyun has been in Washington for a while, and knows that the lord of Washington is a subordinate of the city lord Podolzhu, and since the lord Hua went to see the city lord, he has not returned for several months, so when Cangyun entered Washington, only Steward Zhao had the final say, as long as Fu Lihua did not object, Cangyun could stay. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But looking at the look of admiration, it seems that Podolzhu is wary of Washington, could it be that Lord Hua broke with the city lord?
Cangyun was not interested in Master Hua and the city lord, but was very curious about the young man Yang Xindian, Fu Lihua and Yang Xindian were very familiar, why hadn't Fu Lihua and the people in the mansion mentioned this young man who was on guard for a while?
followed Fu Lihua and Yang Xindian to the front hall, breakfast had already been placed on the table, Fu Lihua was talking and laughing and eating with Yang Xindian, Yang Xindian still had a cold face, and there was always a hint of spring in the face of Fu Lihua, not like an extremely cold appearance when facing the clouds.
"Godfather, sit down, today's breakfast is particularly delicious. Fu Lihua said with a smile.
Cangyun looked at it, it was nothing more than soy milk fritters, it could only be said that Fu Lihua was in a good mood, Cangyun didn't care about the hostile eyes of Yang Xindian, and sat directly next to Fu Lihua, Cangyun is an old monster tens of thousands of years old, these juniors are not as old as Cangyun's dream, how can there be mustard.
Cangyun picked up a fritter, it was brown and crispy, it was very tempting, especially in the early morning when this kind of thing was eating, taking a bite, rattling, Cangyun couldn't help but praise: "Today's fritters are really delicious, this is,"
Poison.
Cangyun's face changed suddenly, he spit out the residue of fried dough sticks that had not been chewed in his mouth, quickly turned to Fu Lihua's back, and pressed his palms against Fu Lihua's back, with a good fortune, where could Fu Lihua's body resist Cangyun's increasingly strong strength, his stomach churned, and he spit out a lot of food in one mouthful, spraying all over the table, and the old mother standing at the table was stunned, not understanding how the usually gentle godfather Cangyun could have such a fierce reaction and bully the young lady so much.
Yang Xindian's first reaction was to draw his sword, and then he immediately realized that something was wrong, grabbed a fritter and licked it, his face changed greatly, and he flew out of the restaurant, like a white light, and went straight to the back kitchen.
Hearing the movement in the restaurant, Steward Zhao hurried over, and saw the endgame on the table, Fu Lihua, who was pale, Cangyun, who was solemn, and the old mother who was even whiter, Steward Zhao did not panic, but turned around and closed the door, walked to the old mother's side and whispered a few words, the old mother nodded frequently and bit her lip.
Steward Zhao walked up to Fu Lihua and asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay?"
Fu Lihua looked at her masterpiece, her pretty face turned crimson: "I, I'm fine," Fu Lihua turned her head: "Godfather, what's wrong with me?"
Cang Yun smiled very naturally: "This fritter is expired, and it is actually for you to eat, the cook must have cut corners." ”
Although I don't know what the relationship between the expiration of the fritters and the chef's cutting corners, Fu Lihua still said suspiciously, and Steward Zhao also said with a smile: "It's okay, miss, I'm going to punish the cook, maybe I deducted his salary yesterday, and he was unhappy." ”
Fu Lihua felt a little weak, and said, "Steward Zhao, Lao Han has been in our house for some years, and he has always been very honest, if you make a mistake, you don't want to punish it too heavily." ”
Steward Zhao responded: "Miss is kind-hearted, of course I listen to Miss." ”
Fu Lihua's face turned pale, her cheeks were unnaturally red, she covered her forehead and said, "Godfather, why am I sleepy again." ”
Cangyun secretly sent a few internal forces to help Fu Lihua detoxify, fortunately, this is not a violent poison, and Cangyun made a timely move, and the residual poison in Fu Lihua's body will be cleared soon, Rao is so, Fu Lihua's already weak body is still not lightly injured.
"Steward Zhao, you help Miss go back to the house and rest for a while. Cangyun Road.
Steward Zhao nodded knowingly, called the old mother, and helped Fu Lihua back to the boudoir.
Cangyun went straight to the back kitchen, and saw Yang Xindian holding the long sword in his arms, his face expressionless.
"What about people?" Cangyun asked.
Yang Xindian said coldly: "It's gone." ”
I don't know if it's dead, missing, or fleeing.
The situation in Fu Mansion has quietly become turbulent.
"You're not the city lord's man. Looking up at Cangyun and said in a deep voice: "No one dares to resist Podolzhu's orders, you have broken Podolzhu's plan now, and you are the enemy of the city lord." ”
Cangyun had no intention of getting involved in any disputes in Urli City, but when it came to Fu Lihua's safety, Cangyun couldn't stand idly by, and it was a big deal to take Fu Lihua to Huang Erniu.
"I can't leave Miss. Yang Xindian's thoughts turned, and he hurriedly walked towards Fu Lihua's courtyard, followed by Cangyun: "Why did someone poison Lihua's diet?"
He didn't look back: "In order to control the master." ”
"Master Hua is not a subordinate of the city lord?"
"Yes. ”
"Then who wants to control the master?"
"City Lord. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know. ”
Yang Xindian obviously didn't want to talk to Cangyun at length, Cangyun couldn't hear it clearly, followed Yang Xindian back to Fu Lihua's courtyard, the two entered the boudoir at the same time, glanced at Fu Lihua, and had fallen asleep deeply, Yang Xindian bit his lip lightly, Cangyun saw the blood flowing between Yang Xindian's lips, and knew that Yang Xindian was extremely remorseful.
Yang Xindian insisted on standing at the door of Fu Lihua's room, a motionless guard, Cangyun checked Fu Lihua's pulse, made sure that the residual poison had disappeared, exited the small courtyard, and went to find Steward Zhao.
It seems that in the Fu Mansion, only Steward Zhao knows everything.
Steward Zhao was sitting in the front hall, with a teapot in front of him, and the tea was already a little cold, but Steward Zhao didn't mean to raise a glass, and his eyes were gloomy.
"Godfather Cangyun, please be seated. Steward Zhao rarely stood up to greet him.
Cangyun sat down silently and looked at Steward Zhao.
Steward Zhao personally replaced a pot of hot tea and poured a cup for Cangyun, then knelt down on his knees and prostrate, "Please ask Godfather Cangyun to help." ”
Cangyun didn't expect that Steward Zhao, who was usually quite proud, would kneel, help him up, and said, "Steward Zhao, I won't stand idly by and watch Lihua, but you have to tell me the real situation." Where is the master, who is Yangxindian, why someone poisoned the young lady, I think, you all know. ”
Steward Zhao sighed: " So far, there is nothing that can't be said, Godfather Cangyun, maybe you are really sent by God, I really didn't expect those two boys to be invited in the slums, they are really masters of the world, to be honest, Godfather, you go out over the wall every day to practice I know, seeing you climb such a steep mountain, I know that you are not an ordinary person, and Godfather, you love Miss I also see it in my eyes, and today I even rescued Miss, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he is already the enemy of the current city lord, so I can trust you. ”
Cangyun smiled: "What if this is the result of my consultation with the city lord?"
Steward Zhao smiled: "With the temper of the city lord of Bodol Zhu, how could he use such a conspiracy? The reason why he poisoned the young lady is also above board, and it is expected that no one will dare to resist." ”
Cang Yun remembered Podolzhu's methods of fighting the beggar gang, as well as the tragic situation of Zhang Baling being picked off and breaking his hamstrings and tendons, and he could guess that Podolzhu was a fierce person.
"Podolju poisoned the young lady, if I guessed correctly, in order to control the master. Steward Zhao said.
Cangyun secretly said, this coincides with Yangxindian's statement.
Steward Zhao continued: "A few months ago, the city lord summoned many subordinates in the city, some returned to the mansion after a few days, some took more than ten days or twenty days to return, and some of them, like the old man, have not returned until now. The lords who came back were all tight-lipped and did not say anything about the contents of the summons of the city lord and the situation of the lords who had not yet returned to the mansion. We can only guess that the lords who have returned to the mansion have reached a certain agreement with the city lord, and the lords who have not returned have not yet compromised. ”
Seeing Cang Yun's puzzled look, Steward Zhao explained: "The city in the Western Regions is different from the Great Yan Empire, although the city lord is the supreme leader of a city, but that is the result of the support of many families, the city lord needs the support of the big family in the city to mobilize all resources, otherwise, the city lord's family is just a very powerful family in the city, not even the most powerful family." ”
Cangyun suddenly.
"In any case, the lord of the city is the actual master of a city. The lord has never come back, and I don't know what kind of thing it is, so that the lord, who has been friends with the city lord for many years, is uncompromising. Steward Zhao was a little worried: "Since the city lord poisoned the young lady, it proves that the master has shown his heart and swears to die." It's hard that we can't see the master, and we don't know why. ”
"As for Yangxindian, this young man has a strange background, it was when the young lady was five years old, he came to apply for a guard in the mansion, the old man didn't need any guards, but Yangxindian's martial arts are strong, especially his swordsmanship," Steward Zhao fell into a wonderful memory: "Indescribable, it can be said that it is as beautiful as a flower, the old man cherishes his martial arts, thinking that he has an enemy in the Great Yan Empire, so he left him behind." Yang Xindian's love for Miss is really extraordinary, and since he came to the house, he has concentrated on protecting Miss and almost never leaving. He rarely talked to us, but after so many years of peace and quiet, Washington was used to looking up to Xindian, and the lord was afraid that the city lord would know that there was such a master in Washington who would be suspicious of the city lord, so he specially instructed us not to reveal the matter of Yangxindian. Three months ago, Yang Xindian suddenly said that he wanted to ask for leave, thinking that he had never left Washington for so many years, I just thought that he wanted to go back to the Central Plains to see his parents, and let him go without asking too much. Not long after, Miss's condition began to deteriorate, and the famous doctors were helpless, so the people went to the slums out of helplessness, and invited the famous Daxian, hehe. Steward Zhao looked at Cangyun Dao.
Cangyun still knows why he was invited to Washington.
"I never expected that God would open his eyes, and we invited a master from outside the world," Steward Zhao's eyes were moist, and he was about to kneel down, but Cangyun hurriedly held on.
"Don't worry, I will keep you safe. Cangyun said firmly, and at the same time, Cangyun secretly said in his heart: "It seems that we have to find a way to make the skill quickly complete." ”
