Section 10 The Holy One Arrives
Lingxi's finger hurts people invisibly, even Duan Shuai has suffered the loss of Lingxi's finger, and now Liu Changqing's goal is naturally not Duan Shuai, he knows that his skills can't hurt Duan Shuai, but he has another goal, he wants to solve Yang Xian's worries, even if Yang Xian hates him for a lifetime!
This finger finally shot out silently, hitting Shangguan Yue's lower abdomen, and a stream of bright red blood flowed out of Shangguan Que's legs, Shangguan Yue shouted and fell to the ground, Yang Xian didn't know what was going on, and when he was hesitating, Liu Changqing shouted: "Prince! Fast! Archery! I've solved your worries, what are you waiting for! ”
Seeing the blood slowly flowing out, Yang Xian realized that his mind was blank, and he was really frightened by this sudden scene. Shangguan Que let go of Liu Changqing, hugged his daughter, and wanted to stop the bleeding with a sad face, Duan Shuai roared angrily: "Liu Changqing, are you still a person? ”
Liu Changqing jumped up angrily and said, "I know you won't understand me, but when the prince rules the world, every one of you will think of me!" Duan Shuai looked at Yang Xian helplessly and said, "Could it be that the world is more important than your wife and children?" Are you still the Yang Xian I know? ”
Yang Xian hurriedly wanted to go downstairs, but suddenly fell down the stairs, rolled more than a dozen times in a row, and finally fell unconscious. The men under him hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but he was already unconscious. At this time, Liu Changqing had already jumped to the second floor, and shouted loudly: "Quick! Give me arrows! ”
Everyone let go of the bowstring's hand and put it on again, Duan Shuai gently closed his eyes, with his ability, it was really easy to leave alone, but at this time, he would never let go of Shangguan's father and daughter, and his brother-in-law. The wind grew tighter and tighter, as if death was constantly calling them. Suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, and the gates on all sides were opened, and a jade-faced tiger general rushed out of the south gate, with fish scales and gold armor, a tiger helmet, and especially the snow-bright silver spear, which was particularly dazzling in this cold moonlight.
This person is really their old friend, Yu Wenlin! Yu Wenlin's sudden appearance surprised Liu Changqing, he seemed to feel that he couldn't do this today, and sure enough, what appeared behind Yu Wenlin was the dragon chariot of today's saint! No one would have thought that in the middle of the night when the night was dark and windy, the saint would actually come to the backyard of the prince's mansion in person, and the fist in Liu Changqing's hand clenched even tighter.
Yu Wenlin scolded: "The Holy Lord has arrived!" Don't wait for a quick ride! When everyone heard this, they hurriedly put down the crossbow bowstring in their hands, and knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to raise their heads. What came out of the sedan chair was indeed the current emperor Yang Zhong! Yang Zhong looked around, only to find Shangguan Yue lying in a pool of blood, and his father-in-law, Shangguan Que. He hurried a few steps forward, and was about to ask, when Shangguan Que's vicious look immediately dispelled this thought.
Yang Zhong saw Duan Shuai standing aside, he seemed to understand everything in his heart, he sighed lightly, and said: "Engong has only been here for a few days, and the child is so lazy, he is a widow who has no way to discipline him!" Duan Shuai and Yang Zhong had no grudges, and happily responded: "Your Majesty is serious, but Miss Shangguan's injury is too serious, please ask Your Majesty to summon the imperial doctor quickly!" ”
Yang Zhong waved his hand, and someone under him immediately rushed out, he took two steps back and forth, and sighed: "Today's incident, I didn't expect it at all, if I knew that things would be like this, I would not indulge Xian'er in such nonsense, and now... Shangguan Que interrupted: "Now Yue'er's life and death are uncertain, I am a countryman, I don't know what the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, if Yue'er has something, even if Your Majesty intercedes, I will never give up!" ”
Yang Zhong was a little stunned, but he had the strength to do so, and said slowly: "Don't panic in the family, Yue'er is also my child, how could I let her suffer any damage!" You can rest assured, someone will definitely take responsibility for this matter! As he spoke, he glanced at Liu Changqing, who was lying on the ground on the second floor.
Liu Changqing is a person with vision, when he bumped into the emperor's eyes, he knew that something was wrong, so he quietly retreated towards the door step by step, and everyone set their eyes on the seriously injured Shangguan Yue, and under the great change of the situation, no one found that he had disappeared unconsciously. Shangguan still had a miscarriage at the end of the month, and the child was already six months old, and it was still the first successor bloodline of the Yang family.
Yang Xian was unconscious, Shangguan Yue was also blind, Yang Zhong sighed for a long time, and decided to devote the whole country to arrest Liu Changqing. Liu Changqing has already run away without a trace, such a martial arts master, and with a clever head, ordinary people really can't catch him. Naturally, he would not obediently stay in the north, and he had already taken advantage of the chaos to cross the south of the Yangtze River in order to plan for the future.
After Duan Shuai said goodbye to Yang Zhong, he asked for a horse to gallop north, Gao Zhan also returned to his fiefdom, unwilling to get involved in the story, Shangguan Que naturally stayed by his daughter's side to take care of it, and wanted to follow Duan Shuai back to the complicated martial arts again, but in the end it ran aground. Yu Wenlin rode a fast horse to catch up with Duan Shuai, and said loudly: "When will Brother Duan return south?" As he spoke, he threw a jug of good wine over, and tore a jug of wine from his waist.
Duan Shuai was naturally skilled, and a dragonfly jumped up from the horse's back, and then pushed the cloud kick, and the whole person was sent over, catching the wine jug three feet away. He laughed loudly: "When Brother Yuwen invites me to drink again, I will definitely come here!" The two of them looked up to the sky and roared, they were both bloody people, so they naturally didn't care about so much red tape. Yu Wenlin looked at Duan Shuai who was far away, and his heart was lost, he also longed for such a life, but reality would never satisfy him, he could only follow the emperor in this imperial city for the rest of his life.
After Youzhou, the Tianshan Mountains were in front of him, and Duan Shuai's heart had already flown to his wife's side, but he only hated himself for being delayed for a long time, and he couldn't wait to fly to his wife's side immediately. Youzhou City has restored its former prosperity under the governance of Gao Zhan, and there is an endless stream of vendors coming and going, which can be described as a busy traffic, Duan Shuai is leading a thin horse that is not too tall, and walks through the crowd.
His stomach was already hungry, but he only had three pennies left in his pocket, and he never liked to carry much money with him, because he didn't have much money. A person who treats money like dung will inevitably starve when he goes out. The horse seemed to understand what his master meant, and even though he hadn't eaten for a few days, he still didn't strike.
With seven days to go, he divided the three denins into two parts, one of which was to be used to add some good fodder to the horses, and the other two to keep for himself for the seven days' food. Two pennies, in such a war-torn day, two pennies really can't buy anything, and a bun costs a penny.
But Duan Shuai naturally has a way, a poor ghost has been poor for a long time, naturally there are many ways to deal with hunger, he ripped off the belt around his waist, then took a sharp breath, and then slowly spit it out, just like this a few times, he finally tied the belt, but the whole waist was smaller.
He spent a penny on four of the most tasteless flatbreads, which no one normally bought, so the shop didn't expect to sell them, and the flatbreads had been in the store for three days, and even if they were dry food, they would always be bad if they were left like this. After Duan Shuai's interrogation, he decisively asked for these flatbreads, which were originally two flatbreads for a penny, but he bought four.
There was still a penny in his waist, and he decided not to spend it for the time being, just in case. These flatbreads could have resisted him for a while, but the blame was that he was too kind. After crossing the Hexin Bridge, it is Liujiazhuang, there are many children and old people in Liujiazhuang, but there are surprisingly few young people, even if there are, they are also retired soldiers who lack arms and legs.
There is a white-haired old man sitting on the bridge, the old man is seventy-eight this year, and his life is rare for seventy years, and the old man seems to be enough in this life. He had a blackened dry tobacco stick in his mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice from time to time, but no green smoke came out of the end of the stick, and it was obvious that there was no tobacco in it. The old man was reminiscing about the taste of tobacco in the first place.
There was also a half-sized boy standing beside the old man, this boy was born very strong, although he was only seven or eight years old, but it could already be seen that he was a coolie material, and the countrymen never lacked such material, but such a person was absolutely indispensable. Peasants depend on the heavens and the earth for their food, and it is natural that these hard-working boys can make a career in this land.
But the boy didn't wear a shirt, to be precise, he wore a shirt, but it was as if he didn't wear it, because the shirt was so tattered that it was full of holes, almost like strips of cloth hanging on his body. The kid's eyes were like dead gray, definitely not the eyes that a child of this age should have. His stomach was sunken, and it looked like he hadn't eaten a full meal in a long time. Duan Shuai touched the four flatbreads in his arms, and handed them over without thinking about it, the kid glanced at the flatbreads, and a strange brilliance immediately appeared in his eyes, but he didn't stretch out his hand, he swallowed and spit, and looked at the old man beside him.
The old man's mouth suddenly stopped, and his eyes returned to Duan Shuai from afar, he looked this strong man up and down, his mind turned a thousand times, but he didn't know what to say. The old man didn't speak, and the kid didn't dare to move, Duan Shuai had no choice but to say: "Old man, I have a few big cakes here, I see that this child is not hungry, it is better to fill his hunger first!" Anyway.. I'm not in a hurry to eat anyway. ”
When he said this, his stomach was already drumming, but in the face of such a pair of grandchildren, you will never be stingy with these big cakes. The old man seemed to be a little moved, seeing that Duan Shuai was gorgeously dressed and didn't look like a poor man, he finally nodded, and the kid immediately jumped over, grabbed the few flatbreads and was about to gnaw them, but when he was about to bring them to his mouth, he stopped, slowly walked to the old man's side, handed over the flatbread and said, "Master, you eat first." ”
Grandpa smiled, touched his little head melon seeds, and said, "If you're not hungry, you can eat first." Duan Shuai looked at this scene with relief, recalling the scene when he met Zhao Nian, this child and the old man were exactly the same as Zhao Nian's ancestors! Fortunately, there was still Zhao Nian by Lu Yu's side, which made him feel a lot more at ease.
