Chapter 148: The Road (2)
Although Zhang Qiang and Liu Su didn't know why Xu Zigui suddenly changed his mind, they didn't ask anything, accelerated the speed of the horse, and entered the post station before the next day
Mo Leyuan was so frightened by the expressions of Xu Zigui and Yuerong Yuexi on the carriage that he didn't dare to speak all the way, and after a few people got off the carriage and entered the post station, Mo Leyuan followed Xu Zigui into Xu Zigui's wing, lowered his voice and asked Xu Zigui
"Why did you suddenly change your mind? Is something going on? ”
Xu Zigui frowned and nodded, since Yuexi explained those words to Mo Leyuan in the carriage, Xu Zigui felt a little wrong - if Zhang Qiang and Liu Su were specially trained by Xu Ziyu and them to travel overnight, then the four or five days journey would be no problem for them at all, but when she was asking Zhang Qiang just now, Zhang Qiang hesitated for a while before he replied that it would be no problem for the two to take over
Judging from Yuexi's explanation, Zhang Qiang's answer is very suspicious
Xu Zigui told Mo Leyuan about this, Mo Leyuan looked at Xu Zigui with a frown, and asked Xu Zigui what they should do with his eyes
"Red-sleeved Yuerong Yuexi, come in" Xu Zigui was originally frowning, but when Mo Leyuan looked at him, he suddenly called the three of them in, frowning and commanding
"No one is allowed to eat the soup and rice on the table for a while, but remember!"
Everyone nodded, and Yue Rong handed a bag of things to Xu Zigui and said: "The slave maid thought of these when she came, this is a few flavors of medicine that the slave and maid deliberately went to find," said, and explained: "The slave and maid came late to find these medicines."
Xu Zigui opened the medicine bag in his hand, frowned and asked, "Is this a toad crisp?" Chrysanthemum? ”
Toad crisp can excite people's nerves, although it is toxic. However, if used properly, it can also make people who have taken drugs such as sweat pills sober up
Chrysanthemum is a coma drug, its effect is so strong that as long as people or animals smell a little, they will appear comatose symptoms, but Yuerong put it together with the toad, and its effect has disappeared a little, only to burn it, or use its petals. can make people unconscious for a few days
Yuerong nodded. smiled: "The slave has asked the red sleeves to soak the toad crisp in hot water for us, and after a while, we will have a drink before going down to eat, so that we will not be afraid to eat the food downstairs for a while." As for the chrysanthemum...... After a while, while everyone is asleep, we will light it in our house, and we will not be afraid that we have already drunk the water soaked in the toad, and when 'Zhang Qiang' and they act, they will not think that we have this in the house, and they will be unconscious when they smell the fragrance of wood chrysanthemum."
Xu Zigui nodded. looked at Yuexi and asked, "Zhang Qiang and Liu Su, have you seen them?" ”
Since listening to Yuexi's explanation to Mo Leyuan in the carriage, Xu Zigui concluded that Yuexi had already discovered that something was wrong with the two. And when Yuexi said those words on the carriage, on the surface, he was indeed comforting Mo Leyuan, but in fact, he was reminding Xu Zigui. "Zhang Qiang" and "Liu Su" have problems!
Yuexi nodded, and answered Xu Zigui's question, "We are training together"
Yuerong and Yuexi have seen Zhang Qiang and Liu Su, but these two people who pretended to be Zhang Qiang and Liu Su didn't know. Even these two people didn't even know Yuerong Yuexi's identity at all, so they had Yuexi's vague reminder on the carriage and they didn't hear about it
Mo Leyuan is also frowning, thinking about who "Zhang Qiang" and "Liu Su" are here. What kind of ability was that person, he could arrange his own people before the two of them even started to act
And Xu Zigui suddenly thought of an important question: "Haven't the other secret guards seen Zhang Qiang and Liu Su themselves?" ”
"I've seen them all," Yuexi nodded and affirmed: "The slave guesses that they just don't know who the prince sent to drive the car, and besides, 'Zhang Qiang' and 'Liu Su' didn't do anything to hurt the master, so they didn't show up......"
"I don't think so" Mo Leyuan shook his head, looked at Xu Zigui with frowns, and said his conjecture again: "The secret guards hiding in the shadows, I estimate that most of them were solved by someone......"
"I feel the same way," Xu Zigui frowned and looked at Yuerong and Yuexi, Zhang Qiang and Liu Su are similar to the other secret guards, if that person can solve Zhang Qiang and Liu Su and replace them with their own people, with that person's meticulous mind, it is very likely to solve the other secret guards......
"But is there any way to get them out? Look for them in the middle of the night, when we're on our way......"
The two nodded, and the red sleeves went to the small table to look at the toad crisp soaked in hot water, and saw that the toad crisp had been completely dissolved, so they divided it into five cups, and after each of the five people drank a cup, "Zhang Qiang" came up and knocked on the door, and invited a few of them to go downstairs to eat
Xu Zigui and the others glanced at each other, and Mo Leyuan shouted "Come on", and took the lead out of the room and made it at the dining table
Xu Zigui then followed Mo Leyuan's pace, and also made it at the table, picked up the chopsticks and came to eat, as if he was very hungry, and the food on the table seemed to be full of Han people, and the food was sweet
Mo Leyuan estimated the medicine in the meal, but he didn't dare to eat more, so he only ate a little bit and put down his chopsticks and stopped eating
In the end, Mo Leyuan is a golden branch and jade leaf, and it is understandable that he is not used to eating the soup and rice here, and he did not attract the attention of "Zhang Qiang" when he arrived
Several people estimated that the time was almost up, so they all put down their chopsticks and went back to the room for various reasons
After all five of them entered the room, "Zhang Qiang" and the two glanced at each other, with a greedy and obscene smile in their eyes
"After tonight, we can be regarded as having tasted the princess and county lord of the dynasty, and we can go back to show off with the brothers."
The other looked timid, hesitating: "After all, that's the person the master likes, if we ...... Will it not be ......" said, using his hand as a knife and wiping it on his neck, "Zhang Qiang" understood "Liu Su"
meaning, waved his hand disdainfully
"If you don't say it, I won't say it, those girls will naturally not say it for the sake of their reputation, this matter only God knows, you know and I know, no one will say it, how can you know?"
As he spoke, "Zhang Qiang" got up, bent his waist and walked to the room of Xu Zigui and a few people upstairs: "It's time for the effect of the medicine to attack at this time." Let's do it."
Although there was the guarantee of "Zhang Qiang", "Liu Su" still hesitated, frowning, "Ye is so powerful...... Let's ......"
"Mother-in-law," Zhang Qiang, who was walking in front, interrupted "Liu Su" impatiently, frowned and said: "If I don't go up, I will taste the taste of the two of you alone, don't say that I am not righteous at that time!" Catch up with Ming'er and take them back. If you don't do it at this time. When I think about it in the future, I will regret all my intestines! ”
"Liu Su" closed his mouth and stopped talking, and followed "Zhang Qiang" upstairs
"Lie down...... Yuexi, who had been hiding behind the door and listening to the movement, heard the footsteps getting closer and closer, and hurriedly closed the door tightly. Burn the chrysanthemum and lie on the bed as if you were asleep
"Zhang Qiang" and the two were indeed as they expected, they didn't expect that they would discover their schemes, nor did they expect that there would be such a thing as a chrysanthemum in their house. There was no defense when they came up, when they came in. It happened that the chrysanthemum had just burned, and the aroma of the chrysanthemum wafted around, and when "Zhang Qiang" reacted to something wrong, the aroma of the chrysanthemum had already rushed into their noses
Xu Zigui and the others passed for nearly half an hour. After making sure that they were indeed asleep, I was relieved to extinguish the chrysanthemum, and the two of Yuerong and Yuexi personally stepped forward to test it. Xu Zigui was completely relieved
"Auntie...... Master, how do you deal with these two people? ”
"Go and rummage through them for anything." Xu Zigui thought for a while, and instructed the red sleeves, "Smell them again."
"Hmm" Red Sleeves nodded, first flipped over the body of "Zhang Qiang", and after making sure that there was nothing there, he took out a needle and pricked it on the fingertips of "Zhang Qiang", squeezed out a few drops of blood to sniff it next to his nose, frowned and turned his head to Xu Zigui and said
"Nothing ......"
"Nothing?" Mo Leyuan looked at Zhang Qiang lying on the ground incredulously, and then pointed to "Liu Su" next to him, and ordered: "See if he has any weapons, letters, and smells like that."
Red Sleeves checked "Liu Su" again as he had just checked "Zhang Qiang", but he still found nothing
Xu Zigui and Mo Leyuan couldn't help but frown at each other, and in this way, all the clues were broken......
"Yuerong, do you want to find a way to contact the secret guards to determine if they are safe...... Yuexi drove the carriage, let's leave this place first......"
"Master," Yuexi looked at the two people lying on the ground, and stopped talking, Xu Zigui saw Yuexi's hesitation, patted Yuexi's shoulder and said comfortingly
"There is nothing to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it"
“…… These two people...... Does the master want to get rid of them? Yuexi said, while making a knife shape with her hand, wiping her neck, looking at Xu Zigui, that look seemed to say that as long as Xu Zigui nodded, she would immediately solve these two people
Xu Zigui frowned and thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind to speak
"Deal with it!"
As soon as Xu Zigui spoke, Mo Leyuan looked at Xu Zigui in surprise, he really didn't expect such words to come out of Xu Zigui's mouth
Xu Zigui looked at Mo Leyuan sternly and frowned and explained: "If you don't cut the grass and don't eradicate the roots, you will leave trouble!" ”
Mo Leyuan sighed, looking at Xu Zigui's eyes with guilt: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have traveled so long to accompany me to the frontier, and you wouldn't encounter danger, and you wouldn't be ......."
"Okay," without waiting for Mo Leyuan to finish feeling guilty, Xu Zigui interrupted with a smile, patted Mo Leyuan's hand and said comfortingly: "If you weren't clamoring to go, I would have gone too...... My father, my brother, and the crown prince are all on the border, how can I feel at ease in Beijing......
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mo Leyuan and Yuexi Red Sleeves with an expression of "I understand", Xu Zigui couldn't help but shut up helplessly and ordered Yuexi
"What are you doing? Let's get rid of these two people quickly...... Let's take the big road and try to catch up with the imperial doctors who are heading to the frontier as soon as possible."
Yuexi promised to give a pill to the two "Zhang Qiang" lying on the ground, but Mo Leyuan looked at Xu Zigui suspiciously, puzzled
"Why did you suddenly change your route and take the main road? Didn't you say you were going to hurry? What are they going to do to catch up with the doctors? ”
"Let's walk and say" Xu Zigui saw that Yuexi fed the two of them medicine, and then pulled Mo Leyuan and them into the carriage, "Let's go overnight, remember to leave a mark on the road, so that Yuerong can easily find us"
Yuexi nodded "The slave knows" and sped up the speed of the car
After waiting for a while, Mo Leyuan took Xu Zigui's hand and asked, "Hurry up and explain to me, what are you doing when you suddenly change your route and catch up with the imperial doctor?" ”
"Stupid," Xu Zigui explained, poking Mo Leyuan's forehead
"'Zhang Qiang' They deliberately mentioned that path, the person behind the scenes must also know that we have to hurry as much as possible, and will definitely order most of the people to ambush there, if we still have to go to that path at this time, isn't it clear that we will send ourselves to the door! As for why he caught up with the prince and them, this is simple, that person can guess that we must go to the frontier, it must be a thoughtful person, and it will definitely not only send people to guard the road on the road, there must be an ambush on the main road, if there are only five of us, it will definitely be dangerous, but the imperial doctor is different, the imperial doctor is the imperial doctor who went to the frontier appointed by the saint, and naturally he will order a large number of brocade guards to protect it, let's follow them, and safety will naturally be guaranteed."
Mo Leyuan nodded. looked at Xu Zigui as if he didn't understand: "Are you planning to expose yourself to the imperial doctor?" ”
"......" Xu Zigui really didn't want to pay attention to her now, he glanced at Mo Leyuan helplessly, and sighed: "If you expose yourself, do you still want to enter the frontier?" Give the Imperial Doctor a few more heads, they don't dare to hide us, arrest us to the border, and they will definitely pack us up and throw us back to the capital......"
"What does the doctor do to cover us for no reason?"
Xu Zigui no longer explained, but shook his head and said: "Shanren's free plan"
"Auntie...... The master knows that he sells Guanzi" Red Sleeves poked his head in with a smile and quipped, Xu Zigui glared at Red Sleeves and said with a smile
"If you change my surname to me again, call me 'Gu Gongzi', believe it or not, I plucked your tongue"
Red Sleeves hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at Xu Zigui pitifully, Xu Zigui laughed a few times and whispered his plan
“…… Do you get it? ”
A few people nodded, and Mo Leyuan looked at Xu Zigui with a happy look in his eyes and teased: "As long as you have a lot of ghost ideas, is this method feasible?" ”
"It's not feasible, don't you know if you try" Xu Zigui glanced at Mo Leyuan triumphantly, and was about to say something more, but Yuexi suddenly stopped the carriage, leaned into the carriage excitedly, and said with a smile
"Master, Yuerong has come back with them" (to be continued)
