Sixty-fourth
The horse neighed, its front hooves soared, and it rushed forward, a movement so great that it almost overturned the cart that was being dragged behind.
The carriage galloped like madness along the long street, frightening the passers-by, and hurriedly scattered to both sides, watching the horses gallop wildly, but no one dared to stop them.
At this time, more than a dozen horses appeared at the left side of the street in front, and the king of Anyang and the guards were passing by on this street, and they saw chaos in front of them, "Lord Wang, it seems that two groups of aliens are fighting in front, Lord Wang, get out of here quickly, the arrows are not long, and they are all coated with poison." The guard reminded.
Zhao Shijiao reined in his horse and looked at the official road to the north, and there were passers-by running from north to south along the official road, shouting as they ran, "It's terrible, it's a fight." "Pass in front of you.
Zhao Shijiao knew that during this period of the Dao Festival, there were many foreign people who met the Son of Heaven and worshiped Nagong.
Dayan is a big country, adjacent to a small country, bowing down to the vassals, and paying tribute every year, even if the Xita tribe in the northwest has fought several times, they have also handed over the surrender table, and they are willing to stop the army from now on and form an alliance forever.
However, there were many discords among the foreigners, and there was civil strife and fierce battles for the throne.
Zhao Shijiao thought, I don't know if there is another internal strife among the people, and the officers and soldiers will come after a while to stop this fight, and before they figure out the situation, they will still remain neutral, so they are ready to turn the horse's head and go back along the same road.
Just about to turn around, suddenly, from the south of the official road flew a carriage, passers-by did not have time to dodge, one after another several people have been knocked to the ground, but the horse did not stop, crazy to run forward, the carriage is unmanned, the dead car owner has long been thrown off the car.
At this moment, Zhao Shizhen was surprised to find that a figure flashed through the window of the speeding carriage, and a woman poked her head out of it, as if asking for help, and disappeared again in an instant.
At this time, the situation was even more critical, the frightened horse panicked, leaned on the right side of the road, the car suddenly hit the roadside tree, the car fell to the side, almost rolled over, but the horse did not stop, continued to run forward, the car behind was about to fall apart.
"Lord, the car looks like the second young man of the Zhan Mansion......" Before the guard could say the word, he saw a horse flying out of his side, and everyone looked at the carriage.
The mount of the king of Anyang did not touch the ground on all fours, and it flew towards the frightened carriage, and the pedestrians on the road stopped and looked stupid.
I saw the king of Anyang galloping over, the horse approached the carriage for a moment, the king of Anyang jumped and flew out, everyone didn't figure out what was going on, he was sitting firmly in front of the carriage, tightly pulling the reins, the horse was suddenly tied, but the castration was a little slow, but did not stop, inertia rushed forward.
Then they saw that the startled carriage had slowed down, and when it had forked in the road ahead, it had turned to the left, and it was out of sight.
Zhao Shijiao forced the horse to turn into a sparsely populated secondary road, and then turned a corner, and the carriage entered a narrow alley with no one before slowly stopping.
As soon as the carriage stopped, Zhao Shizhen hurriedly jumped off, anxiously walked to the car door, as soon as the car door opened, Shen Wanzhen was in the car When the carriage hit the tree, she was thrown out, her head hit the fence of the car wall, and she was thrown back, fell heavily on the floor, was dizzy, leaned against the car door and did not move, Zhao Shijiao suddenly pulled the car door, she suddenly lost her body, and fell down, Zhao Shijiao didn't have time to think about it, so he naturally stretched out his hand, caught her body that was about to fall, and held her firmly in his arms.
Shen Wanzhen was dizzy and saw the face of a handsome man above, the deep pupils shining like stars were staring at her, very close, each other felt the warm breath from each other, the arms that supported her were strong, and the chest that was close to her was solid and warm, Shen Wanzhen was a little dizzy, flustered, Zhao Shijiao's chest was beating vigorously and rapidly, Shen Wanzhen woke up suddenly, broke free from his embrace, but as soon as she left, her feet hit the ground, and her body slipped straight down, her legs seemed to be floating, she couldn't stand, and the moment she touched the ground, it hurt heartwarmingly.
Zhao Shijiao gently put her down when she struggled to leave his embrace, saw her slide down, hurriedly hugged her, and asked softly, "Are you hurt?" β
Shen Wanzhen leaned softly on his shoulder, and said in a weak voice, "It's okay." β
Zhao Shijiao's concerned tone, Shen Wanzhen listened, and wanted to cry, she moved in his arms, her eyes looked around, this small alley is secluded and uninhabited, the heart is a little calm, men and women hugging each other on the street, in ancient times, it was a big thing, even if he was the prince, but everything could not be carried away, this is a big offense for men and women, if the body of an unmarried woman touches the body of a man, she will marry him.
Shen Wanzhen took a step back, left his embrace, staggered, and stood still, Zhao Shijiao was a little nostalgic and reluctant at the moment when the warm and soft body left his chest, his hands were still flat, maintaining the posture of hugging her, when she suddenly left his arms, his body shook, his breath stagnated, his heart flickered, his arms were closed and he wanted to take her into his arms, but his five fingers were slowly brought together, and he suppressed this thought, slowly lowered his arms, and his breathing was inexplicably a little short.
Shen Wanzhen took a few steps back and leaned against the brick wall behind her, her head was still dizzy, her vision was unsteady, the objects and people in front of her eyes swayed from side to side, and she didn't see the soft light in the depths of Zhao Shijiao's eyes clearly.
Zhao Shijiao came to his senses and bowed his head in disguise.
At this time, there was the sound of hurried horses' hooves, and there was a shout at the mouth of the alley, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang." The palace guards chased after him.
When they came to the car, they dismounted and knelt on one knee, "Slaves and other crimes deserve death, and they can't protect the prince." β
"Get up! Fuss. β
Shen Wanzhen lowered her head slightly, and bent her knees, "The little woman thanks the prince for his rescue." Just bent her knees, her body trembled slightly, the pain came from her knees, she struggled to straighten her waist, forcibly raised the corners of her lips, and pretended to smile and smile for nothing, and these were carefully noticed by Zhao Shijiao, whose eyes had never left her, "Madame's leg is injured?" β
The concern in the voice of the king of Anyang can be heard by anyone, Shen Wanzhen thought, she is already like this, and Zhan Shaoting doesn't know what the ending is, but he can't let him take on a bad reputation in order to save himself.
Thinking of this, Shen Wanzhen smiled casually, "The little woman is not in the way, please take care of yourself." β
Let's say it, I'm going to go to the alley, but her left leg doesn't dare to exert herself, she can only slow down her steps, trying not to be seen by others, but her body is unbalanced, and her left leg is slightly bent and tilted to one side.
Naturally, not only Zhao Shijiao could see it in this way, but even the guards in front of him could see it.
Uncle Chen, the leader of the guards, said, "Mrs. Zhan doesn't seem to be lightly injured. β
"Beckon a sedan chair to come over and send Mrs. Zhan to the hospital." Zhao Shijiao commanded.
The guard rode to the mouth of the alley and stopped a small sedan chair, in which there was originally a businessman-like person, and the guard said to the sedan chair driver: "Let the people inside come down first, someone in the alley is injured, hurry to the hospital, it is convenient." β
The man dressed as a merchant stuck out his head and said impatiently to the palanquin: "Why don't you leave?" If you miss the master's business, the master will not give you the sedan money. β
The guard immediately clenched his fists, "This uncle, I am in a bit of a hurry to use the sedan chair, please get off the sedan chair first." As soon as the man wanted to have a seizure, he saw that his clothes and crown were like those of the palace, and he had a sharp blade at his waist, so he didn't dare to disobey, and muttered that he got off the sedan chair, and the sedan chair money was not paid, and he walked away.
The sedan chair man turned the sedan chair and walked towards the alley, the guard led in front, the sedan chair came to Shen Xuanzhen, and the guard bowed, "Please get on the sedan chair." β
Shen Wanzhen walked to the small sedan chair, holding the sedan door with one hand and the skirt in the other, the uninjured leg stepped up first, and the other leg tried to step up twice before going up.
Zhao Shijiao stood below, looking at her weak shoulders and struggling appearance, and wanted to step forward to help her, but she stood still and didn't move, men and women couldn't kiss each other, and this alone restrained the two.
Shen Wanzhen sat down and got up the sedan chair, this alley is narrow, and it can only accommodate a small sedan chair to walk, and Zhao Shijiao and other people follow behind the sedan chair.
Out of the alley, on the road, the sedan chair man turned around and asked, "Dare to ask where is the master going?" β
"The nearest clinic around here." Zhao Shijiao caught up with the sedan chair and rode a horse with him.
He is not familiar with this area, the sedan chair man runs every day in the streets and alleys of the capital, and there is a medical center in that place He is familiar with it, and he soon found a medical center.
The sedan chair man got off the sedan chair and said to Zhao Shijiao: "This master, it's here." β
Zhao Shijiao looked at it, the faΓ§ade of this house was not big, and there was a pretense hanging on it, with small words under the 'Zhao's Medical Hall', treating bruises and other diseases, so he nodded, "That's it!" β
The guard stepped forward and bowed down and clenched his fists, "Please get off the sedan chair Madame." β
Shen Wanzhen didn't want to go to the hospital, but the sedan chair was brought here, and if he didn't go in, he was kind, the cotton curtain of the sedan chair was raised, and Shen Wanzhen held the sedan car door with one hand, trying to land with one foot first, and the other leg followed down and slowly walked inside.
Zhao Shijiao stood behind him and looked at her back, the weak delicate body staggered towards the medical hall, the tip of his heart hurt for no reason, he closed his eyes, calmed down, and followed in.
Although the faΓ§ade of this medical hall is small, it is an inside and outside room, and the inside is used as a consultation room, and the idle people stay in the outer room.
The doctor was an old man with a few gray wisps of beard, so let Shen Wanzhen sit on the couch and lay her legs flat.
Use scissors to cut the corner of the pants, revealing the wound, and when I look at it, I shush softly, "Madame's injury is not light, such a large bruise, all oozing blood." β
Zhao Shijiao heard it clearly outside, and thought to himself, this Mrs. Zhan is different from other women, if it were replaced by other ladies, she would have shouted a long time ago, but she didn't say a word, she was afraid of making trouble for herself, this woman was smart, strong and understanding.
Lao Langzhong's gentle voice came from inside, "Madam, I'll give you a medicine to rub it, scatter the blood, it can relieve some of it, you can bear the pain, if your hands are too heavy, you can say it." β
"Don't worry, I'll hold it." There was a clear voice from inside, which sounded without a trace of fear, but made people feel very comfortable and relieved.
Zhao Shijiao sat outside and listened carefully to the movement inside, even the slightest movement fell into his ears.
"Alright, ma'am, go down and try it, isn't it better?" The old man said in a relaxed tone.
After a while, the curtain in the middle was lifted, and Shen Wanzhen walked out of it, Zhao Shijiao noticed that there was a little water on her thin white face, and looked at people with a smile, as if nothing had happened, this forbearance and strength suddenly softened his heart, and instinctively avoided her eyes.
Leave the consultation fee and go out.
The little sedan chair was still waiting at the door, Shen Wanzhen turned around, lowered her head slightly, and bent her knees, "Don't thank you for your kindness, the little lady of the prince's kindness has written it down." "Say, endure and bow a few times.
Zhao Shijiao was afraid that her knee would hurt, so he stretched out his hand to help, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, he took it back and hurriedly stopped it, "Okay, Madam is polite." β
"The prince stays, the little woman has nothing to do, she can go back to the house by herself, and come to the door another day to thank you." Shen Wanzhen's visit to thank you is also a humble resignation, how can a woman enter the door of an unmarried man.
Shen Wanzhen got into the sedan chair, and her fingertips like bamboo shoots lifted the curtain, "Lord Wang, please go back." With this delicate sound, he got up and walked away.
Zhao Shijiao watched the little sedan chair go farther and farther, and for a long time, he was still standing in place.
"Lord Wang, how noble you are, how can you save people, even if you want to save it, you are a slave waiting to be saved, if this is to let the Queen Mother know the way, the slave can't afford to eat the crime." Uncle Chen, the leader of the guards, complained at night, Mrs. Zhan was in front of him, and he didn't say anything in front of him.
"Don't let the Queen Mother know." King Anyang was afraid that the queen mother would know about it, and he had to worry about the nagging endlessly.
The small sedan chair stopped in front of the Bofu Gate, Shen Wanzhen got off the sedan chair, and the little maid on the gate saw it, and hurriedly ran over and bowed, "Hello young lady!" β
One of the attentive old servants saw that her walking posture was not right, and asked: "The young lady's legs are uncomfortable, so the slave calls a soft sedan chair to come over, and the young lady waits." Running inside, the two vigorous mothers-in-law carried the soft sedan chair to the door and helped Shen Wanzhen to the soft sedan chair.
Back in the house, only Feng'er was in the upper room, looking behind her in surprise, "Sister Xiuju, Sister Qiaoshan, and Qian Mother have all gone there?" β
"I'll be back in a minute." Shen Xuanzhen didn't say what happened, there is a difference between men and women, if she said that it was King Anyang who saved her, she was afraid that others would think too much.
While speaking, Shen Wanzhen walked to the kang and sat down, Feng'er hurriedly squatted for her to take off her shoes, and moved her left leg, Shen Wanzhen lost her mouth.
Feng'er raised her head and asked in surprise; "What's wrong with the young lady's leg?"
"It's broken, it's fine." Shen Wanzhen said lightly.
Feng'er took the little girls to fetch water and waited for the young lady to wash.
After Shen Wanzhen finished washing, she half leaned on the couch, thinking back to what had just happened, she couldn't help but be afraid, if the king of Anyang didn't save herself, she was thrown out of the carriage, and she was clean when she died, if she fell into a cripple, she didn't dare to think about it, Zhan Shaoting was even more disgusted with herself, she would only be bullied in the Bofu, and she would end up miserable at the end.
"Master, when did the master come back?" Xiuju and Qiao Shan rushed in excitedly, wiping tears from their tears with joy.
"It's okay, why are you crying?" Shen Wanzhen pretended to be relaxed, afraid of scaring a few people.
It turned out that the car of the servant woman and maid was behind, due to the large flow of people on the street, the separation was a step slower, when Xiuju and other cars rushed to the accident site and found that there was no one in front of the road, the car passed by and found
There were several corpses lying on the ground, and a pair of officers and soldiers in the distance were running towards it.
A few people were stunned, obviously saw the master's car in front, and there was no shadow in the blink of an eye, Qiao Shan poked her head out of the car window, and suddenly found Zhan Shaoting hiding in the door hole of a family next to the road, poking his head out to see the movement on the street, at this time, many pedestrians came out of the hiding place and walked on the street, Zhan Shaoting looked at the officers and soldiers of the brigade in the distance, and knew that there was nothing wrong with the road, so he dared to come out of hiding.
Several people jumped out of the car, ran over, and shouted, "Second master, second master, where is my young lady?" β
Zhan Shaoting made a false alarm, slapped the dust on his body at this moment, and said coldly, "The carriage was startled and ran away." β
"Ahh Several people were stunned for a moment, so the young lady was still in the startled carriage, looking at Zhan Shaoting together.
Zhan Shaoting ignored a few people, called a sedan chair, sat on it, and ordered to go to Zhan Bo's mansion.
Shen Wanzhen was lifting her trouser leg to look at the bandaged leg, and a few people came in.
"The master is injured, and the slaves and maids are useless, and they can't protect the master." Xiuju and Qiaoshan actually cried around the master.
"Crying for what? Nothing? Wanzhen looked at a few people sadly, and thought of Zhao Shijiao, the king of Anyang, and didn't feel very bitter if there were these people who cared about themselves in this world.
"The master is not in the same car with the master, why is the master not injured, the slaves and maids see that the master is doing well, why is the master in trouble, and the master went there at that time?" Mrs. Qian took a closer look at the master's leg injury, wrapped in a bandage, and didn't know what the injury was like, and she drew her soul in her heart, and couldn't help but ask.
"Yes! The slave and maid saw that the master was hiding in the door, and there was nothing to do, so they asked the master, and they ignored the slave and maid. Qiao Shan brought another pillow and put it under her legs to make her more comfortable.
Shen Wanzhen said angrily: "Hugh has to mention him." β
"Did the second master abandon his master and run away by himself?" Mrs. Qian looked at the attitude of the second master, and expected that this was the case, seeing that the master did not speak, she knew that there were many β‘ j, and I heard Xiuju say that the master and the uncle were awkward, and the uncle was going to divorce the girl, and I originally planned to persuade the girl when no one had time, but now this happened, the uncle did not do it authentically, he was really a lover, and the girl and he did not fall in love.
Shen Wanzhen wanted to be injured in a small matter, and Xiu Shu had to find a way to make this guy write, and today's incident strengthened her determination to leave the Zhan Mansion.
"Qiaoshan, go and invite your master." Shen Xuanzhen can't wait, people like him can change their hexagrams at any time.
Mrs. Qian saw that there were no outsiders in front of her, so she said a few words in her heart, "The old slave estimated that the master had a plan, and the old slave also saw what happened today, the second master is not a person who can be entrusted for life, it is better to leave as soon as possible, that is, if the second master insists on divorce his wife, I am afraid that the dowry silver and the money from selling Zhuangzi will not be able to get it back. "Mrs. Qian is older and more worried.
"I've thought about it, I plan to pay back the money from Zhuangzi, the Zhan family and the Shen family are relatives, my mother-in-law won't do too much, hurt the relatives and anger, if you really want to stay, let me go, the dowry is nothing valuable, if you want to stay, just stay, I'm afraid I didn't look at it, as for the way to live, I will go out of the road first."
"Is the master going back to his mother's house to live?" Xiuju asked. "Can the Shen family go back? Let's talk about it. VVwVV,,"Shen Guanzhen doesn't have anything to worry about, there are many poor people in this life who live differently, as long as they are willing to endure hardships." At this time, there was a sound of broken footsteps outside the door, and Qiao Shan came in, "The master said, the young lady should not think about it, and the master also said, I am tired and don't want to see the young lady, and the young lady will do her duty as a wife in the future."
