Chapter 327 - Two to the town
Shi Qian was frightened by the sudden attack of the Tiance army, but after several days, he didn't even see a figure of Tiance.
If he could get the news from Xia Bing'er's courtyard, not only would he not be afraid and choose to defend, but he would be more likely to lead the army to attack Shangqi City.
In Xia Bing'er's small courtyard, there are not only the original regulars Gu Xuzhang and Hua Ji, but also Xie Kaige and his wife. Gu Xuzhang, Hua Ji, Xiang Fanjuan and Qiu Hongshen sat around the stone benches in the courtyard, while Qiu Pengpai and Xie Kaige were cooking medicine on the side.
Qiu Hong buried his head deeply, and the sound of turning the scroll sounded from time to time.
Gu Xuzhang saw that there was less than one-tenth of the part that he hadn't read in the pharmacopoeia, and he still couldn't calm down: "Pharmacist Qiu, can't you even find a way to continue suppressing it?"
Qiu Hongshen's hand kept moving, his eyes were like light, and he swept over the pharmacopoeia: "No, there is not even a prescription or case that can be used for reference." ”
Gu Xuzhang slapped his thigh hard, couldn't help but get up, and walked back and forth in a manic mood: "Alas! What the hell should I do with this! There are still three days to go until the deadline of the fifteenth!"
Qiu Hongshen continued to flip through the pharmacopoeia and said quickly: "If I can catch the poisoned Yang Wu, I still have a general antidote that can be reversed, but now I can only roughly infer from the drugs configured by Che Jiaxiang, it is really too difficult!"
Hua Ji shook his head a little discouragedly: "I have sent countless spies to investigate in the territory of the coalition army, and I have broken hundreds of spies, but until now I have not been able to find any news about Yang Wu, which is my dereliction of duty." ”
"What is dereliction of duty or not, we will all see what you have done! Ah! If I learn the news of Yang Wu, I will definitely catch him and kill him alive!"
Xiang Fanjuan and Xie Kaige looked at each other quietly, and they both shook their heads.
In other areas, they may still be able to contribute, and in terms of drugs, the two of them are in a dark spot.
"Lord Gu, Lord Xia has his own natural appearance, and he will definitely turn the danger into a disaster. Hasn't the general come back yet? The general has great skills, and he will definitely find a way. ”
The news of Yang Fengqing's departure from Chiyuan City has now passed three days, and all those who pay attention know it, and Tiance is naturally no exception.
It's just that according to the date that Yang Fengqing had postponed his return before, coupled with what Yang Fengqing did in Chiyuan City, no one can be sure when Yang Fengqing will be able to go to Tiance.
And now Xia Bing'er and Li Yuhe's situation is not good, so the news has been stopped between Hua Ji and Gu Xuzhang.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Xiang Fanjuan was a little embarrassed: "That-we'll go back first." ”
Xie Kaige hurriedly came over and helped Xiang Fanjuan to leave.
Gu Xuzhang sat back on the stone bench and raised his hand to pat the stone table, but when he was about to pat it, he withdrew his hand in a sneer.
It's not that he's afraid of hand pain, it's that he's afraid of scaring Qiu Hongshen.
"Why do you think that kid can make trouble like this? After attending the funeral of the old lady of Beigong in a low-key manner, wouldn't it be good to rush back in a low-key manner? Now three days have passed, and I haven't even seen a single figure!"
None of the other three answered, even behind Yang Fengqing's back, they didn't want to discuss the rights and wrongs of Yang Fengqing's approach.
"He-"
"Don't worry, uncle, Feng Qing will definitely be able to reach Shangqiao City within two days. ”
Before the person appeared, the voice came first, but Xia Bing'er's voice was much weaker than when she went to the council hall in person that day.
Gu Xuzhang was startled and suddenly got up and turned his head to look at the door.
The door opened, and Xia Bing'er, with a red and white face, walked out of the room.
The weak color on her face couldn't hide her sparkling eyes: "Uncle, you didn't tell me so much news about Fengqing!"
Hua Ji hurriedly got up: "Lord Xia forgives his sins, and the next official-"
Xia Bing'er sat down in the position where Gu Xuzhang was sitting in front of her, and reached under Hua Ji's arm: "You don't have to accuse, I don't have to forgive your sins, and you don't have to explain." What Feng Qing did in Chiyuan City, no, everything he did since he left until he saw me again, I would let him tell me like a story. ”
Xia Bing'er's longing tone and eyes made everyone who heard it feel depressed in their chests.
Gu Xuzhang held Xia Bing'er's hand and squeezed it, and quickly let go.
Hua Ji said no more, got up and stood aside with his head bowed. As for Qiu Hongshen, the speed of flipping through the pharmacopoeia was significantly faster.
The others didn't speak, Xia Bing'er didn't have much strength even if she wanted to speak, and she was thinking about a lot of things at this time.
Da Da Da –
"Newspaper—letter from Xincheng—"
Everyone in the courtyard was happy, especially Xia Bing'er, the light in her eyes spread to her face, and she looked even more beautiful and moving than usual.
"Bring the letter in!"
"Yes. ”
The soldier ran in, saw the situation in the courtyard, and handed the letter to Xia Bing'er.
Xia Bing'er didn't look unusual when she reached out, but when she held the envelope, she began to tremble a little.
Gu Xuzhang glanced at the soldiers, and the soldiers hurriedly ran away from the courtyard.
As she got closer and closer to her eyes, Xia Bing'er's hands trembled more and more. Seeing this, Gu Xuzhang reached under Xia Bing'er's hand.
His eyes had already swept over the envelope, and his face changed: "Bing'er, it was sent by your grandfather Gu." ”
Xia Bing'er's hand stopped shaking, glanced at the envelope, and the light in her eyes quickly returned to normal from Ji Sheng.
"Phew, uncle, look. ”
Gu Xuzhang was not polite, the situation in Guangwu has been very abnormal recently, and he will not miss every letter sent back from home. However, before watching it, he still comforted Xia Bing'er: "Look at you stupid, maybe what your grandfather Gu is talking about is Fengqing's news?"
Sure enough, Xia Bing'er's face was much brighter again.
Sit down to Xia Bing'er and spread out the letter on the stone table.
When they saw the first row, everyone's faces turned black in a neat manner, and Xia Bing'er and the others looked at Gu Xuzhang in unison.
Gu Xuzhang, who was the most babbling on weekdays, did not move at all, and continued to quietly look at the content of the letter.
Seeing Gu Xuzhang like this, Xia Bing'er did not relax, and tears appeared in her eyes: "Uncle-"
Gu Xuzhang folded the letter as it was when it was not opened, raised his head, and closed his eyes. He was pushing so hard that the skin around his eye sockets was wrinkled with it.
The chest is bulging, it's still bulging.
"Whew-"
Gu Xuzhang opened his eyes at this moment, giving people a feeling of ten thousand catties of eyelids.
Zhao Xia Bing'er pulled the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't pull it up after pulling it several times in a row: "Alas-Uncle can't accompany you today, Uncle will come back tomorrow." ”
"Woo-uncle-"
Xia Bing'er didn't know how to comfort Gu Xuzhang, the pain of losing her loved ones, she had experienced it not long ago, and she knew how painful it was.
Gu Xuzhang shook his head, and bowed his hand to Qiu Hongshen and Hua Ji, who were all looking up at him. The two also gave up to Gu Xuzhang, all in this simple action.
Qiu Hongshen lost Liao Yuanliu, who had been in bed with him for more than ten years, and Hua Ji lost half of his father's Han Ji. In the dead of night, they cried and cried under the quilt, they couldn't count it.
Gu Xuzhang left, leaving only a heavy breath still pressed in the courtyard.
"Lord Xia, go and see your subordinates again. ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
Hua Ji didn't say it clearly, but what he was going to do, Xia Bing'er and Qiu Hongshen could know.
Qiu Hongshen saw that Xia Bing'er's already weak body was crying sadly, and then began to tremble again, and opened his mouth to advise: "Lord Xia, you better go back and rest first, it will be beneficial for you to rest more now." ”
"Well, I'm sorry to please. ”
......
Yangan Town, that is, the town where Yang Fengqing landed in Guangwu.
The permanent population is not large, only more than 10,000 people. But don't underestimate this town, because the fishing industry in Lingnan is supported by many small towns like Yangan Town.
They are like a string of pearls lined up along the coast of Lingnan Prefecture, shining with the light of their times.
Coastal towns do business with the inland, and over time a near-one-to-one supply model has been formed. That is, each fishing town will have more contact with a specific city, and the big family of that city will send some people to maintain order in the fishing town and buy good fish products.
Of course, the choice of this supply relationship does not lie in the choice of the people in the small town, but in the competition between the wealthy families in the city.
Although the big head was taken away by the wealthy family, there are still small profits that the wealthy family does not look down on, so although there are few people living in the town, there are many business trips between the town and the inland city, and the town is very lively every day.
Today, it is extraordinarily lively.
It's not because there's anything special, but the old people in the town say that the sea won't be calm for the next two days, so they don't want anyone to go into the sea.
No one went down to the sea again for these two days, for no one was afraid of death.
They can't go to the sea, but it's impossible for them to stay at home if they are used to being busy. So the townspeople, who lacked everything except seafood, began to come out to sweep the goods.
A tall brown horse carrying two people entered the town from the north of the town, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Of course, the reason for the sideways glances of passers-by cannot be the man with a full beard, but the woman who is very beautiful and shows a little immaturity.
Qiu Zitong couldn't turn around and hug Yang Fengqing, so she could only squint her eyes and not make contact with those eyes that made her very uncomfortable.
Yang Fengqing doesn't have much feeling for those eyes, just look at it, anyway, it doesn't lose meat.
But everything in the world can't escape the principle of "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop".
"Which one are you from? I'm Cang Jianbi, the third son of the Cang family's business travel!"
Yang Fengqing looked at the self-confident man in front of him, and was a little stunned, he hadn't even heard of the Cang family, okay?!
However, he didn't hear about it, there were a lot of people around here who heard about the Cangjia business trip, and from their discussions, Yang Fengqing probably knew something.
First, the Cang family is the overlord of Jingshan City, that is, the wealthy clan stationed in Yangan Town; Yang Fengqing of Jingshan City knows that there is a city in the central and eastern part of Lingnan, but the city lord of Jingshan City that he knew before is not from the Cang family.
From the second thing he knew, he knew why the Cang family was not the home of the city lord, but it could be the overlord of Jingshan City.
Second, the head of the Cang family married a woman from the Song family; as for whether the woman's original surname was Song, ordinary people don't know.
The third thing was the news about the man in front of him who was blocking his way with ten guards and reported his name to Cang Jianbi.
Cang Jianbi, the third son of the Cang family, the most domineering person in the Cang family, even the eldest son and the second son of the Cang family did not dare to show face to him.
There is only one reason why he is so bullish - his biological mother's surname is Song!
Yang Fengqing smiled, and the mouth that was completely covered by the beard was revealed. As for whether his smile was sarcastic or flattering, others did not know.
In Cang Jianbi's subconscious, everyone who smiles at him is trying to please him. With one hand on his waist and a golden toad in the other, his posture seems to be very handsome.
But after all, he stood on the ground, shorter than Yang Fengqing's head, so he pointed at Yang Fengqing and said, "Hurry up and dismount this son!
Yang Fengqing smiled again, and before Cang Jianbi spoke, he suddenly pulled out the long sword hanging on the side of the horse: "If you have an idea, I will ignore it, but if you dare to say it or what you want to do, then you have to see if you have that life to enjoy!"
"Childe be careful!"
"Look for death!"
"Kill them!"
A few shouts sounded behind Cang Jianbi, but no matter how loud they were, it would only make Cang Jianbi, who was already in place, even more frightened.
"Oh!
Cang Jianbi didn't die in the end, and shouted a cliché scream.
Poof-
A human head flew up with gushing blood, Cang Jianbi's scream came to an abrupt end, and the crowd watching the play around him burst out with an exclamation that was several times higher: "Ah!"
"Murdered!"
"The third prince of Cang is dead!"
The last shout was hard to tell if he was happy or frightened.
Ten guards wanted to rush towards Yang Fengqing, but the chaotic crowd ran wildly, and they were also scattered.
After the idle people left, Yang Fengqing and Qiu Zitong's faces were: 0.0.
Only three of the ten guards were still snorting on the ground, and the other seven were trampled to death!
Yang Fengqing looked up and couldn't see anyone, but in the cracks of the surrounding houses, there seemed to be many pairs of happy eyes, and he seemed to understand something.
It makes no difference to him whether he understands it or not, Cang Jianbi, who is a giant to the people of Yangan Town, is just an ant to him.
No one will deliberately remember how many ants they have trampled to death, and in which posture they have trampled to death.
No one was in the way anymore, Yang Fengqing gently patted the belly of the Baiyun Divine Horse, and the Baiyun Divine Horse shouted excitedly and ran wildly on the avenue.
The White Cloud Divine Horse was happy, but he took pity on Qiu Zitong.
Qiu Zitong didn't talk about moving at this time, he didn't have the heart to speak. As the White Cloud Divine Pony ran, from time to time a breathing sound could be heard coming from her small mouth.
"Phew—it's here!"
The word "arrived" was like a blood medicine, which made Qiu Zitong, who was weak and tired, with half-squinted eyes, widen his eyes.
Qiu Zitong, who had never seen the sea before, was instantly full of vitality, supporting the neck of the Baiyun Shenju with both hands, and his ass didn't hurt anymore, if he wanted to stand up: "Wow - is this the sea? It's so wide, so big, so beautiful!"
