Chapter 9 The Cabin in the Back Mountain
[Chapter 9 - Houshan Cabin] Don't scream so disgusting
There were heavy guards inside and outside the small courtyard, and after the two left, Sixi's father-in-law helped Chu Yuan back to the room. Although Fang didn't say a few words, he was really angry enough, and he was fat, holding on to the table and panting.
Chu Yuan smiled when he saw this: "Beware of getting sick, there are no herbs here to recuperate for you." β
"These traitors really want to rebel against the sky." Sixi's father-in-law sighed, "It's just a pity that General Shen is not here, otherwise how can it be their turn to jump rampant." β
"Ren had a thorough plan before, but he didn't expect Zeng Xuan to join the Liu family." Chu Yuan shook his head, "One hundred secrets are sparse, and it can be regarded as another lesson." β
"Then what's next for the emperor?" Sixi's father-in-law asked, "A little butler dares to act so recklessly, he must have been ordered by the superiors, and I don't know what is happening in the royal city now." β
"Wang Cheng doesn't need to worry too much, I have already made arrangements." Chu Yuan said, "Besides, there is Duan Baiyue, the king of the southwest, presumably he will not watch the Liu Mansion act recklessly." At most, tonight, someone will come to the rescue. β
"Yes." Sixi's father-in-law first nodded, and then knelt on the ground and cried, "I'm afraid that the old slave will no longer be able to serve the emperor in the future." β
"Why?" The corners of Chu Yuan's mouth raised, "Don't you want to stay and follow the Liu family?" β
Sixi's father-in-law was still sighing and weeping, but before he finished his sadness, he suddenly heard such a sentence, and he was shocked and waved his hand again and again: "Your Majestyββ"
"I know, who said I was going to leave you." Chu Yuan interrupted him and bent down to help the person up, "When I was a child, I lost my father-in-law, how many times did I block those who had ill intentions for me." This time is not only to save the driver, but also to save you. β
ββ¦β¦ This. Sixi's father-in-law was embarrassed, and looked down at his bloated body and big belly, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a burden.
If I knew this, I should have eaten two bowls of rice less on weekdays.
In the alley behind the yamen, Ye Jin was carrying a vegetable basket, and Shi Shiran walked over.
A group of guards stood with swords in hand, their faces solemn and majestic, and they looked like iron walls from a distance.
"No way! Get out of here. Before Ye Jin got close, he was already waved away by a fly, so he raised his head and turned around angrily and walked back - if it was normal, he would definitely fight back, and there could be medicine all over the sky! But now there is still a person trapped in this mansion, whether it is evil or auspicious, there must be a way to see it.
Walking around the mansion, there was no gap to sneak in, Ye Jin's heart was tight, sitting in the corner teahouse drinking tea and extinguishing the fire, by the way, he paid attention to the movement on the other side, planning to see if there was a chance to fish in troubled waters at night.
Time passed little by little, the teahouse was about to close, Ye Jin turned over on the roof, hid in the dark and yawned. Finally, in the middle of the night, before the guards on the opposite side were handed over and changed, a team of black-clothed people had already quietly descended from the sky, with knives in their hands and neatly, and put people down on the road.
Ye Jin: "......"
"Someone! There are assassins! Someone in the yamen noticed something strange and shouted.
The blazing torches were instantly lit, and half of the sky was illuminated, and the sound of swords colliding was endless, and some of the people around were awakened by the noise, and they also hid in the quilt and did not dare to go out, not knowing what was happening outside, only shivering and waiting for the silence to return to all around.
"Let's go!" Chu Yuan dragged Sixi to turn over and get on the horse, and under the escort of the man in black, he killed all the way out of Liu's mansion.
"Someone! Give me chase! Liu Man was angry and ordered. The matter has come to this point, and everyone knows what kind of consequences they will have if Chu Yuan is allowed to return to the royal city, so Zeng Xuan personally led people to chase him out of the city, with murderous intent in his eyes and a hideous face.
The black-clothed man who came to rescue Chu Yuan was the palace shadow guard, each of whom was personally selected by Shen Qianfan, and all of them were secretly sent to Jiangnan Sun Moon Villa to learn light skills, and they were very skilled. He doesn't show up on weekdays, and only comes to the rescue in an emergency. Rao is rebel no matter how many there are, he will also kill a group of people and protect Chu Yuan firmly in the middle.
"Shoot the arrows!" Zeng Xuan led the people to climb the high post in front first, trapping Chu Yuan and his party at the bottom of the valley.
The blade of the arrow that flashed with cold light pierced the wind and roared, and Chu Yuan drew his sword out of its sheath and left Sixi behind him.
"Escort!" Someone in the shadow guard was injured by an arrow, and seeing that the other party had a new batch of archers, he could only use his flesh and blood to block the front in a hurry, buying Chu Yuan more time to escape.
The fire oil bomb rolled down the steep slope with thick black smoke, and Chu Yuan's war horse injured its right eye, and it neighed and threw the two off the horse. Sixi lay on the ground and said urgently: "The emperor is leaving, don't worry about the old slave!" β
Chu Yuan swung his sword to sweep away the fire in front of him, stepped forward and pulled him up, and broke through with him. Zeng Xuan saw it in his eyes, spit on the ground fiercely, and took the bow and arrow from the hands of his cronies, intending to put Chu Yuan to death.
"Be careful!" Seeing this, Ying Wei exhaled, Chu Yuan only felt that there was a sharp sound of breaking wind behind him, and he only had time to push Sixi away, but there was a sharp pain in his back.
"Your Majesty!" Sixi's soul was scattered, and he climbed forward to support him.
"Kill me!" Zeng Xuan rushed down the mountain with a knife, and was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but a cloth bag flew in front of him, and the powder in it was overwhelmingly pasted on his face, and when he landed, it was like being stared at by mosquitoes for thousands of bags, which was painful, numb and itchy.
"Not dead yet, are you?" As soon as Ye Jin arrived, he saw Chu Yuan being hit by an arrow, and hurriedly rushed to his side.
"Chivalry, chivalry save the emperor!" Sixi's father-in-law seems to see the dawn.
Ye Jin was about to cry when he heard this, I am still a chivalrous warrior with this little kung fu, why are your eyes still so bad after so many years.
Seeing that Chu Yuan was already unconscious, Ye Jin didn't have time to care about the surrounding situation, so he cut his clothes and treated his wounds for him. The shadow guard was still fighting fiercely with the rebels, and the other party was killing round after round like a tide, and seeing that he was about to be overwhelmed, Ye Jin looked up to the sky and roared angrily: "Wealth for nothing!" β
The roar was too shocking, and Chu Yuan shivered in his sleep.
An old man jumped down from the treetops, rolled on the spot, and slew at the rebels, seemingly without any weapon in his hand, but wailing everywhere he went, and in an instant, more than half of them were disarmed.
"Chivalry, is the emperor okay?" Sixi's father-in-law asked tremblingly.
"I don't know, if you're dead, you're dead." Ye Jin gritted his teeth and replied.
Sixi's father-in-law almost knelt on the ground again.
Hurriedly helping him bandage his wounds, Ye Jin stood up and said hurriedly: "Stop fighting!" β
With wild fruit in his mouth, Bai Laicai kicked the last group of rebels down the mountain, and then got a carriage out of nowhere.
I don't know how many rebels there are in the city, and at this time, it is obvious that they are looking for a quiet place, so Ye Jin immediately made a decision and took Chu Yuan and Ying Wei into the deep mountains - there is a small house there, which was originally built to hide from the rain and stay overnight when collecting medicine, and it happened to be used at this time.
"Chivalry, is the emperor okay?" Along the way, Sixi asked seven or eight times without saying anything.
If it weren't for the fact that he hugged himself when he was a child, Ye Jin really wanted to knock him out.
Chu Yuan's face was pale, his clothes were mostly stained with blood, and his fingers were cold. Fortunately, there were a lot of medicinal herbs in the wooden house, Ye Jin boiled hot water to scrub and change the dressing for him, and Bai Laicai returned to Yunshui City to bring a lot of clothes, bedding and dry food, and worked together for several hours before finally finishing everyone's injuries.
Ye Jin stayed by Chu Yuan's side, and from time to time he helped him test his pulse, and was sure that he would not die for a while, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sixi's father-in-law saw the opportunity and said, "This chivalrous man ......"
"Won't die." Ye Jin was exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to blow up his hair.
"No, no, no, the knight misunderstood, this time I want to ask the knight's name." Sixi bent down and gave a big salute, "Thank you to the two knights for saving me this time." β
"It's a trivial matter, I'm just in a panic." Ye Jin pouted.
Four joys: "......"
"I'll go to the mountains to look for it, and see if I can pick red vines, which can replenish blood and nourish my body." Ye Jin stood up, "If my father-in-law is tired, let's sleep for a while, he will be fine for a while." β
"Okay, good, there are Lao chivalrous." Sixi nodded hurriedly, and said worriedly, "But looking at the sky, it looks like it's going to rain heavily." "It's inevitable that the mountains are slippery, and looking at the fighting posture of the two sides, it seems that the kung fu is not very good.
Ye Jin had already gone out with a basket on his back.
Bai Laicai didn't know where he went, and Sixi's father-in-law hurriedly asked the two shadow guards who were not injured to follow him to protect him, so that he could take care of him.
Sure enough, not long after Ye Jin went out, it rained heavily in the mountains, and lightning and thunder rumbled from the sky, making people's hearts numb. This time it was more than two hours, Sixi looked at the door three or four times, until it was completely dark, Ye Jin was covered in rain and was helped back by the shadow guard, saying that he almost fell down the mountain when he was collecting medicine.
Sixi's father-in-law was taken aback, and hurriedly boiled hot water to scrub him to ward off the cold. Ye Jin's stomach was full of fire, and he felt that he was really unlucky, after sending the master's ashes to the temple before, he should go back to Qionghua Valley by another way, what kind of Yunshui City came to, this is good, he can't get rid of the trouble when he hits it.
Chu Yuan was in a coma for two days, and in the afternoon of this day, Ye Jin sat on the edge of the bed and helped him untie the bandage and check the wound as usual.
"Chivalry, chivalry, be lighter." Sixi's father-in-law was shocked, "The emperor is a dragon body." "Rub the medicine slowly, you can't shoot it.
Ye Jin snorted and smeared his hand towel with medicinal powder.
Sixi's father-in-law gasped when he saw it.
Chu Yuan also snorted in a coma, and then opened his eyes with great difficulty.
The scene was blurry, as if someone was looking at him, but it was only for a moment, and then it was replaced by a familiar other face.
"Four joys."
"Your Majesty, you can be regarded as awake." Sixi's father-in-law almost cried with joy, but he wondered in his heart, how could the knight who was still sitting on the edge of the bed "whoosh" and ran out, and the speed was quite fast.
Chu Yuan closed his eyes and thought for a while before he said, "Where is this?" β
"This is the back mountain of Yunshui City." Sixi roughly said what happened before, and sighed, "These two knights are really good people. "It's just that the temper is a little weird, one will hum from time to time, and the other can't even see a shadow.
"What about people?" Chu Yuan's lips were chapped, "I want to thank you personally." β
Ye Jin squatted outside the door and pouted, who wants you to thank you in person.
"Chivalry, chivalry." Sixi's father-in-law went out to call, "The emperor invites you in." β
"I'm not going in!" Ye Jin stood up, and Shi Shiran got into the carriage.
Sixi father-in-law: "......"
But I can't say it in my mouth, and my pulse still needs to be diagnosed, after all, I was seriously injured. So a moment later, Ye Jin got out of the carriage again.
The shadow guard who happened to be passing by was startled.
"Look at what, look!" Ye Jin is angry!
"I didn't see it, I didn't see it." The shadow guard hurriedly bowed his head.
Ye Jin wrapped his head tightly and entered the room with only two eyes exposed.
Chu Yuan: "......"
Sixi's father-in-law was also surprised: "What does this mean by chivalry?" β
Ye Jin said angrily: "I'm dyed with wind and cold." β
Sixi father-in-law suddenly.
Chu Yuan kept looking into his eyes.
Ye Jin sat on the edge of the bed and dragged his wrist to test his pulse.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, your honorable name?" Chu Yuan asked.
"What do you call me!" Ye Jin stuffed his hand back, and Shi Shiran stood up, intending to go out to decoct the medicine.
"Yu'er?" Chu Yuan couldn't help it, and was suspicious and tentative.
"Don't scream so disgustingly!" Ye Jin was furious.
Chu Yuan exclaimed, "It's really you?" β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Ye Jin was extremely calm: "It's you." β
"Your Highness the Nine?" Sixi's father-in-law also reacted suddenly, and said that he looked so familiar.
"Ahem!" Ye Jin's eyes were sincere, "Who is the Ninth Highness?" β
"Really." Sixi's father-in-law cried with joy.
Chu Yuan also leaned on the head of the bed and stretched out his hand at him with a smile.
"Humph!" Ye Jin turned around and walked out of the wooden house, squatting on the edge of the cliff until it was dark, and then he was brought back by Bai Laicai.
Chu Yuan was eating porridge on the bed.
Ye Jin stood at the door, his eyes full of resentment.
Actually, I don't really want to save you, don't thank you, and don't pester me!
After all, everyone is not familiar with each other.
Chu Yuan lifted the quilt and wanted to get out of bed.
"Hey!" Ye Jin took a step back and warned, "Lie back!" β
"Whoaβ"
"You're big!" Ye Jin stepped on the threshold with one foot, looking like a bandit.
"Then I should always tell sΓΉ what to call you." Chu Yuan was a little funny, and there was some warmth in his heart. When he was a prince before, although there were many brothers in the palace, they were all suspicious, and no one would be like him, willing to sacrifice his life to save himself.
"Call me Doctor Ye." Ye Jin thought for a moment, and then replied.
"That's rusty." Chu Yuan frowned.
"We're already very rusty!" Ye Jin sat on the edge of the bed, "Yesterday, there were still people from the government who came to search the mountain, although they didn't find the back mountain, but staying here all the time is not a long-term solution, where are you going to go next?" β
Chu Yuan said: "There is no place to go." β
Ye Jin: "......"
Don't say that you really lied to me, as the emperor, you have to have backbone.
"I have always regarded Zeng Xuan, who has always regarded him as a confidant, can also betray, near this Yunshui City, I really don't know who else can be trusted." Chu Yuan shook his head.
Ye Jin complained: "No acquaintances? β
"This trip was originally intended to go to Chiba Castle." Chu Yuan said.
"I'm not going to Chiba Castle!" Ye Jin exploded when he heard this.
Chu Yuan was taken aback by his reaction, looking at the posture, there is an enemy in Chiba City?
"Only Chiba Castle?" Ye Jin was unwilling and asked again.
Chu Yuan nodded: "Qianye City Sun Moon Villa is Qianfan's home, he is the only one in this Jiangnan, I can trust him." β
"I told you, don't mention Sun Moon Villa." Ye Jin stood up and walked around twice, then sat back again, "Forget it, I'll take you back to Qionghua Valley, it's close, so you can continue to heal your injuries." "Chiba Castle is far away, and I don't know what will happen along the way.
"How is Old Gu Lord Ye doing lately?" Chu Yuan asked.
"I just drove to the west three months ago." Ye Jin replied.
Chu Yuan: "......"
"There's nothing to be sad about, Master is over a hundred years old, and it's a joy and mourning." Seeing that he was silent, Ye Jin pursed his lips, but his eyes were a little red.
Seeing this, Chu Yuan stretched out his hand to comfort him, but was slapped in the face.
Really, very, very, fierce.
In the palace of the royal city, Duan Baiyue was leaning against a plum tree, looking at the clouds flowing in the sky.
This is a cold palace, no one comes at all on weekdays, one day when the father-in-law of Sixi passes, he feels that the soil is quite fertile, so after that, the emperor is furious, and the plum tree will be temporarily dug up here, and it grows well.
It wasn't until it was dark that Duan Baiyue got up and went back to the brocade shop. Duan Yao was sitting at the table and smashing a bunch of poisonous weeds, and when she saw him, she snorted and frowned: "Have you drunk?" β
"It's just three glasses." Duan Baiyue said.
Duan Yao resented: "Let me go to Liu's Mansion every day to hear the news, you actually went to drink alone?" β
"What did you find?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Duan Yao replied: "I didn't find anything." β
Duan Baiyue shook his head: "It's better for me to drink." β
Duan Yao almost shoved β‘β‘ into his beloved brother's mouth.
"But let you go, I don't want to hear anything, Liu Mansion has been intertwined in the royal city for so many years, how can you see the clues in just a few days." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that Emperor Chu has not been in the royal city recently, staring at them to see if there is any change." β
"What if there is an abnormality?" Duan Yao asked, "Can you still manage it?" β
Duan Baiyue asked rhetorically: "Why can't I care?" β
Duan Yao frowned: "This has nothing to do with us, why bother getting fishy for no reason." β
Duan Baiyue shook her head: "Who is the emperor in this court has a lot to do with the southwestern tribe. β
Duan Yao lay on the table and yawned, obviously not showing any interest in this matter.
"Lord Wang." Duan Nian said outside the door, "My subordinates just got the news that General Shen seems to have returned. β
"Sure enough." Duan Baiyue didn't have any surprises about this, "Where are the people?" β
"Sun Moon Qianzhuang has not returned to the General's Mansion." Duan Nian said, "The prince wants to go for a while?" β
Duan Baiyue picked up the saber on the table and strode out.
In the Sun Moon Money Village, Shen Qianfan was in a cold sweat, asking his subordinates to deal with his wounds. A sword wound ran through the lower abdomen from the chest, and the ground was covered with blood, which made people's hearts feel a little numb to watch.
There was a muffled sound in the courtyard, and then the sound of the sword being drawn out of its sheath: "Who! β
"General Shen." Duan Baiyue stood in the courtyard.
Sure enough...... Shen Qianfan put on his robe and opened the door to invite him in.
"The general is wounded?" Duan Baiyue was a little surprised.
"When I was about to enter the city, I was ambushed." Shen Qianfan said, "There are more than 30 people on the other side, and all of them have been killed. β
"People from the Liu Mansion?" Duan Baiyue asked again.
Shen Qianfan said: "The king of the southwest hasn't said yet, why did he appear in the royal city for no reason. β
Duan Baiyue said: "Emperor Chu didn't inform the general? β
Shen Qianfan shook his head.
Duan Baiyue said: "That king doesn't say anything. β
Shen Qianfan: "......"
"I don't know what the general wants to do next, but there's one thing I'd better tell you in advance." Duan Baiyue said, "I'm afraid the northwest border is going to be chaotic again." β
Shen Qianfan frowned when he heard this.
"In order to prevent the Liu family from being too powerful, it took 20 years for the former emperor of the Chu family to gradually recover the military power in the northeast, but he probably didn't expect that these 20 years would be enough for Liu Gong to secretly lay out and gradually control the situation in the northwest." Duan Baiyue said.
"King Duan is saying that I am the northwest garrison of Great Chu?" Shen Qianfan asked.
"It's not the Chu army, it's a foreign race." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "Shada of the Archer Country is just a puppet pawn, and the real master of the brave and warlike Northwest Cavalry is in the Liu Mansion." β
Shen Qianfan's face changed.
"Now Shada is in the royal city, and my people are watching him." Duan Baiyue said, "Emperor Chu is not in the palace, Liu Gong should be using Gu Li's death to find an excuse to attack the imperial court." β
"On the way, someone assassinated me, and Liu Gong must have already guessed something." Shen Qianfan said, "The situation is in crisis, I want to enter the palace immediately." β
"Do you want this king to help?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Shen Qianfan said: "The emperor has a decree, if King Duan is idle and has nothing to do, he should stay at home and don't run around." β
Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows: "I didn't say that I couldn't help." β
Shen Qianfan turned over and got on his horse and headed all the way towards the palace.
In the inn, Duan Yao had just fallen asleep in a daze, and was picked up from the bed again, almost crying.
"During the day, I'm still worried that I can't find someone to raise Gu." Duan Baiyue patted his face, "Be sober, take you to catch a few live ones!" β
In Liu's Mansion, Liu Fude was hurriedly saying: "Shen Qianfan came back suddenly this time, it must be aimed at Liu's Mansion, I don't know if my father has any plans?" β
Liu Gong sat on the Taishi chair, his face gloomy and silent.
Liu Fude was so anxious that he stomped his feet: "Father, now this situation is not that you and I are opposed, but that the court wants to dig roots!" β
"Panic what." Liu Gong stood up, "Go and call your third uncle to come." β
"Yes!" When Liu Fude heard this, he quickly turned around and ran out, but he almost collided with the housekeeper.
"Young master, young master, I'm sorry." The housekeeper ran out of breath, and he didn't have time to say anything else, so he only presented the letter in his hand, "The one sent by Yunshui City seems to have an accident." β
Liu Gong picked up the fire paint, roughly swept the letter, and then his face changed. After a long time, he slapped the table and said, "Someone! Come with me into the palace! β
