With the help of the palace maid, the snake's venom was finally cleared, and then the palace maid applied herbs to Zhou Rong's wound, bandaged it with a cloth tape, and said to Zhou Rong: "The swelling should be able to disappear in about three days, you should eat lightly in the past few days, and you should rest more." ”

"Well," Zhou Rong nodded, smiled at her, and asked, "May I ask the girl's name?"

The palace maid glanced at Zhou Rong with a little vigilance and said, "My surname is Song." ”

After all, she is a girl who has not yet married, so it is difficult to tell him the name.

Zhou Rong didn't ask much, and said to her with a smile: "Thank you Miss Song for saving your life, I hope it will have the opportunity to repay the girl one day." ”

The palace maid surnamed Song waved her hand and said: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, it should be me who thank you for giving me this opportunity." ”

Zhou Rong praised in his heart - sure enough, he had stayed in the palace, and he spoke so well.

Then Zhou Rong asked tentatively: "Since Miss Song knows how to heal snake wounds, can I come and see you again in a few days?"

The palace maid surnamed Song hurriedly said: "No need, you are fine now, just drink the medicine I prepared for three days." ”

Zhou Rong said: "In case the time is not good, can I come to you again?"

"I wasn't necessarily still here. The palace maid surnamed Song said.

Zhou Rong had no choice but to give up, turned his head to look at the man standing next to him, and said sincerely: "Thank you for this little brother's help." ”

He knew that the other party was also the one who came to monitor the movements of the plum garden, but after all, they really saved him out of kindness, so 'thank you' must be said.

Of course, the man also realized the purpose of Zhou Rong's coming here, but he didn't know what to say, so he just waved his hand lightly, and then asked uneasily: "Do you need me to carry you down the mountain?"

At this time, if Zhou Rong refused, it would definitely arouse their suspicion immediately, so he nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, then you will have to work." Then I suddenly remembered something: "What do I call you?"

The man hesitated for a moment and replied, "My surname is Ding." ”

Zhou Rong hurriedly hugged his fists at him and said, "Thank you, little brother Ding!"

Just now, Zhou Rong hid his luggage in the grass, and at this moment he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he didn't bring his luggage with him, otherwise he would inevitably be suspicious of them at this moment.

The man surnamed Ding, who was sent by Xiao Diyuan, carried Zhou Rong down the mountain on his back.

The man surnamed Ding asked as he walked, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Rong hurriedly said: "It's just passing by by accident." ”

The man surnamed Ding didn't believe it, and said, "Drilling into the grass is not necessarily so simple, right?"

Zhou Rong thought for a while and said, "I really just passed by here, but I found that there were a large number of people guarding here, and I was a little scared, so I hid in the grass to see what was going on, but I didn't expect to be bitten by a snake just after squatting." ”

The man surnamed Ding asked again: "Where are you from, and the accent doesn't look like a local." ”

Zhou Rong was slightly shocked and said, "I'm from Zhijiang Province." ”

"No wonder. ”

The man surnamed Ding didn't ask any more.

When he arrived at the side of the road at the foot of the mountain, the man surnamed Ding put Zhou Rong down.

Zhou Rong said: "Thank you, little brother, I'm waiting on the side of the road, I believe I will be able to stop the carriage soon, little brother, please go back." ”

The man surnamed Ding took his leave, turned around and walked towards Meiyuanzhou in the middle of the mountain.

When he returned to the vicinity of his plum garden in the middle of the mountain, the man surnamed Ding immediately met with his companions and told him about his previous meeting with Zhou Rong, and everyone's opinion was that he had to report the matter to Xiao Diyuan quickly, so the man surnamed Ding immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to rush back to the palace from the other direction to report to Xiao Diyuan.

Zhou Rong sat on a stone next to the highway and began to think about what to do next.

The hiding place of his luggage was not far from the west side of the plum orchard in the middle of the mountain, and if anyone had the heart to search it, they could find it quickly, and his purpose would be self-evident at that time, so he felt that he still had to go back.

It's just that his current situation is not suitable for him.

Then put it there first, he said to himself.

No, the plum garden could not help but keep an eye on it, so he slowly moved his body to a place far away from the road, and waited for it to get dark, and then he wanted to go back to the place where he put his luggage to get it, and then find a place that was more conducive to ambush and continue the ambush.

But what if the sky was dark and he was bitten by a snake again? He thought about it, and broke off a long wrist-thick branch from a big tree beside him, and then removed the leaves, and it became a simple snake-beating stick.

When the night darkened, he walked slowly up the hill along the grass with a snake-beating stick.

After receiving the letter from the man surnamed Ding, Xiao Diyuan immediately rushed to the plum garden in the middle of the mountain with Ding Cong.

After it was completely dark, Xiao Diyuan and Ding Cong arrived at a small river near the Mid-Levels Plum Garden, where they met up with the three men he had sent to monitor the movements of the Mid-Levels Plum Garden.

After a brief meeting, they went their separate ways.

When Zhou Rong finally came to his luggage place, and was about to reach out to get his luggage, a person suddenly flashed out of the darkness, and the man's hand tightly controlled Zhou Rong's hand.

Zhou Rong was shocked, but he didn't dare to make a sound, and hurriedly looked at the man.

Unfortunately, it was pitch black at this time, and he couldn't see the man's face clearly.

Just as he wanted to rub his eyes and look again, he suddenly felt a brief tingling pain in his back, and then his eyes went dark, and the whole person lost consciousness.

When Zhou Rong regained consciousness, he found himself lying on a clean bed with a lamp lit on the bedside table.

By the light, he noticed a man standing with his hands behind his back.

Just looking at the back, Zhou Rong knew who he was, but Zhou Rong must not show that he knew him, because he had changed into another face during this trip.

Zhou Rong continued to close his eyes, pretending to be still asleep.

But the man noticed it, and said coldly, "How long have you been lying in ambush near the plum garden?"

Then the man turned his face.

It is Xiao Diyuan, the second prince of Shuguo.

smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I am a villager in Weng En Village, and I accidentally injured someone when I had an argument with someone a few days ago, and I came here to avoid being chased and killed." ”

Zhou Rong's voice Xiao Diyuan heard it as soon as he heard it, he immediately retreated left and right, sat down on a chair not far in front of Zhou Rong, looked at Zhou Rong and said, "You are Zhou Rong, the secretary of Dali Temple in Zhaoguo, don't think I don't know." ”

Zhou Rong was shocked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm not at all, you recognize the wrong person, right?"

Xiao Diyuan smiled slightly and said, "I can hear it just by my voice." Last time, when you entered the palace on an errand under a false identity, I secretly let you go, and you will come again, what do you want to do?"

Zhou Rong didn't know how to answer for a while, thought for a long time, and finally said with a heart: "Since I fell into the hands of the Second Highness, then if you want to kill or kill the Second Highness, follow the Second Highness." ”
