Chapter 107: Rivals
The wind and rain continued, and only two groups of people were left in the east courtyard of the post station to confront each other.
Prince Sumeng instructed the maid Xiaolian to take Princess Jin'er back to the West Courtyard, looking at the back of the two of them leaving, he felt that he couldn't be careless, and he needed to take care of Princess Jin'er.
Prince Su Meng hurriedly ordered the two guards around him to follow him to the guard of the West Courtyard, saying that if Princess Jin'er had any more accidents, the two guards would not have to come to see him, and he should know what to do.
The two guards received the order and immediately agreed.
In the wind and rain, Prince Su Meng looked at the two masters and servants of Xuanyuan Mingyu, thinking in his heart whether to play tricks, but he was worried that there were not many guards around him, and at the same time he didn't want to alarm more guards to get involved, after all, the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better, so that it would disappear in the future.
Fu Wei, the county magistrate, stood aside and looked at each other coldly, feeling that the best way at the moment was to adopt a soft policy, since the other party eats soft and not hard, his side should be more sloppy, let the other party relax his vigilance, in order to catch it all.
Master Fu is a shrewd official, watching Prince Su Meng hesitate and delay in speaking, knowing that he also feels that things are tricky, although he knows it in his heart, he does not say too much, so as not to show that he has a lot of ability.
Wind and rain, Qin Xingyi hugged Xuanyuan Mingyu's shoulder, sensing that his breath was getting weaker and weaker, and was secretly surprised in his heart, for fear that he would not be able to catch his breath and let go, so he quickly shook his body a few times and shouted: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, you have to hold on!" ”
Prince Su Meng pondered for a while, feeling that as a prince, he could not be frightened by one of the other party's personal guards, so he took two steps back and waved his hand to order the remaining four or five guards to step forward and arrest people.
When those guards received the order, they immediately pounced with their teeth and claws, thinking that it would be easy to arrest people! Because everyone could see that the third prince was extremely weak, he was sure that he was powerless, and only the personal guard Zhang Hao needed everyone to work together to capture him.
Qin Xingyi was anxious, when he heard several guards rushing towards him from different directions, he hurriedly put down Xuanyuan Mingyu's body, divided the thin tree strips he was holding with one hand to the other hand, aimed at the opportunity, and when the guards approached him, he suddenly raised his hands, and many thin tree strips suddenly turned into flying stars and shadows, enveloping several guards.
It's not a joke for the senior sister of the West Wind Building! Qin Xingyi's true kung fu was obtained after more than ten years of cultivation, and it was obtained from the true inheritance of her stepfather, the lord of the West Wind Building, which was absolutely unambiguous, so why worry about dealing with a few guards?
Qin Xingyi struck a blow and sneered: "Just a few of you?" I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick! What kind of prince is that, you have the ability to come up and do it yourself! ”
Prince Su Meng felt that he was just in the blink of an eye, and the four or five guards were all lying in the rain like toads, and he was taken aback, and he had to admire the personal guards of the third prince for their good martial arts.
Prince Su Meng immediately heard Zhang Guard's name to challenge him, understood that he was not his opponent at all, and said to the county magistrate: "Lord Fu, how is this matter good?" ”
The county magistrate had been waiting for Prince Su Meng's words, and understood that it was time for him to go out at this moment, so he bowed down and said: "Your Royal Highness, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, dealing with a small guard, you don't need to go out in person, the lower official is willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and play a contest first!" In case the official misses, it is not too late to ask His Royal Highness the Prince to save the scene again. ”
Lord Fu's words were very much in line with Prince Sumeng's wishes, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement, and said, "Lord Fu should also be careful, this Zhang guard seems to have two strokes in his hands. ”
Master Fu squinted his eyes and looked carefully, thinking unconvinced: Even if this little guard has been practicing kung fu since his mother's womb, he won't be able to practice for many years, and he has crossed more bridges than he has walked, besides, he has to deal with the three princes, and the strategy of attacking the east and west is just coming in handy at this time.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Your Highness, your subordinates know that you don't dare to underestimate the enemy."
Master Fu said, ordered a guard next to him to lend him a hat to wear, rolled up his sleeves, lifted up the placket and stuffed it into the wide belt, got out of the umbrella, walked into the rain in a big way, stretched his body, kicked his legs twice, and said: "I haven't practiced my fists and feet for a long time, and my skills are rusty." ”
At this point, the rain is lighter. Qin Xingyi couldn't bear to let Xuanyuan Mingyu lie in the rain for too long, and after subduing those guards, she quickly squatted down and grabbed Xuanyuan Mingyu's arm again, wanting to take him away.
Qin Xingyi was just about to get up, when he heard the conversation between Prince Su and Meng, he looked sideways and found something surprising about Master Fu, that is, he seemed to kick his legs casually twice, but it contained great internal force, and he actually kicked off a small branch on the jujube tree.
Qin Xingyi suddenly understood that she had met an opponent! Because the small branch swayed with the wind in the wind and rain, it was wet and damp by the rain, and it was not so easy to break, which shows that Master Fu's martial arts are both rigid and soft, and extraordinary.
When Master Fu fought with others, he put on a senior posture, his face was calm, and he said humbly and politely: "Guard Zhang, I am fortunate to meet today!" Although you and I are each our own masters, this official, as the county magistrate of Puwang Border City, cannot stand idly by while a major event is happening in the city. ”
Qin Xingyi first glanced down at Xuanyuan Mingyu, and saw that his face was extremely bad, and he was very worried, and he didn't want to let go of his body to fight, and asked, "What does Master Fu want?" ”
Seeing that he had just shown his hand, he had already played the role of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, and he did not become aggressive, but his face became softer and softer, and he said in a smug manner: "Guard Zhang, this official is a civil official, and he likes to deal with reasonable people the most!" This official looks like Zhang Guardie is also a scholarly Sven person, so we can sit down and discuss the solution to this matter slowly. ”
Qin Xingyi quickly figured it out in her heart, and felt that Master Fu's words were not unreasonable, now it was difficult for him to win against martial arts masters alone in the wind and rain, and it was very difficult to evacuate Xuanyuan Mingyu safely.
Qin Xingyi couldn't help but think: It would be good if his father-in-law was here, and it would be more than enough to deal with Lord Fu with his father-in-law's martial arts, but his father-in-law was far away in Xifeng Tower, and he couldn't quench his thirst from far away, so he had to temporarily bear the void and delay time in order to find another opportunity to get out.
"Can Master Fu be specific?" Qin Xingyi picked up Xuanyuan Mingyu's body and stood in the rain in the rain, feeling that she and Xuanyuan Mingyu's heart were closer.
"Of course, this official is just suggesting, and he still needs the consent of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Master Fu said, turned his face to look at Prince Su Meng, and when he saw that he agreed to agree, he continued: "Guard Zhang, why don't we all go into the house, and while discussing a good policy, ask His Royal Highness the Prince to arrange for someone to heal the three princes, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" ”
When Qin Xingyi heard that she could immediately heal Xuanyuan Mingyu's injuries, she couldn't help but be moved, stared at Lord Fu, and asked, "Does Lord Fu's words count?" ”
"Of course, Zhang Guard, please rest assured, this official is also the lord of a city, and he has governed the border city for several years, and no one can trust the character of this official, and speaking counts is the motto of this official." Master Fu confessed himself wholeheartedly.
"Okay, for the time being, according to what you said, but this guard has one condition, you can't let the third prince out of my sight, do you agree?" Qin Xingyi felt that she could only break the cauldron and sink the boat, and the most important thing was to treat Xuanyuan Mingyu first.
"This, this official can't be the master, it depends on the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince." Master Fu pondered for a moment and asked Prince Sumeng.
Prince Su Meng wanted to overturn the car and stir up the situation, but it was not appropriate to think about it again, the longer the delay, the easier it was to leak the news, so it was better to follow Lord Fu's strategy, first stabilize the three princes and the two in the room, and then find an opportunity to break their psychological defense.
Prince Sumeng waved his hand generously and said, "Yes, this prince can understand, you two are a bit like scales now!" ”
Qin Xingyi was shocked when she heard this, thinking that Prince Su Meng had seen through that she was a daughter, because the last half of the sentence was: The husband does not leave the mother-in-law!
In fact, Prince Su Meng really didn't notice that Qin Xingyi was a fake phoenix pretending to be a man, and just made a joke casually, intending to relax Qin Xingyi's nervous defenses in order to take Xuanyuan Mingyu back into his hands!
Lord Fu's first step to delay the army has been realized, and he invited Zhang Guards into the house with Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xingyi held Xuanyuan Mingyu's body flat with both hands, followed Master Fu into the room, and placed Xuanyuan Mingyu on the bed.
There was still the fragrance of pear blossom dew in the room, and Master Fu hurriedly walked to the window, stretched out his hand to push open the window to change the air, but unexpectedly a gust of wind mixed with rain blew in, and the rain was tight, so he had to close the window again.
Prince Sumeng then walked into the house, ordered the two guards to find two sets of clean clothes, changed the clothes of the third prince first, and asked the guards to take off their wet clothes as well.
How could Qin Xingyi be willing to change clothes at this juncture? She waved her hand and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your kindness!" This guard is not in a hurry to change his clothes, as long as everything is safe with His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”
Prince Su Meng was not discouraged when he saw that the first trick did not break away from the guards, so he thought about using the second trick, beckoned a guard to immediately bring a bowl of hot soup, ready to serve Xuanyuan Mingyu, and asked: "Third prince, you were caught by the rain just now, drink a bowl of hot soup?" ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu did suffer from the wind cold, and Prince Sumeng was not wrong about this! It's just that there is a problem with the bowl of hot soup in Prince Sumeng's hand, and the hot soup is filled with hypnotic drugs, which is not just as simple as driving away the wind and cold.
Xuanyuan Mingyu's eyes were closed, and his consciousness was still there, because his long eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Master Fu found that Xuanyuan Mingyu was awake but did not reply, suspecting that he had been tapped with a dumb acupoint, and wanted to try to untie the acupoint for him, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, if you are tapped with a dumb acupoint, you just nod and tell me, and this official may be able to help you solve the acupoint." ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu lay on his back on the bed, his body had been wiped clean by the guards, he changed into clean clothes, closed his eyes and was silent, neither nodding nor shaking his head, ignoring the question of whether the dumb hole was pointed.
