In the early morning, Qiaotou is the noisiest time of the day, and the boats are full of fish and shrimp, and the buyers are either dragging carts or daring. As soon as the fish owner opened the market, there was a bargaining sound of buying and selling everywhere, and the smell of fish permeated the entire bridge.

A green bamboo oil cloth umbrella was pressed low, and the people under the umbrella passed through several fishmongers, went straight to a wave boat, and got into the cabin, and the green bamboo umbrella was closed and hidden in the bamboo curtain.

He entered, and the boat slowly swung away.

Shangguan Xi in the cabin had obviously been waiting for a while, and when he saw the comer, his face was not surprised, nor was he the slightest warm.

"A boat entered Yangzhou the day before yesterday," she recounted lightly, "from the north, and the people on the boat, although their true identities have not yet been found, but Jin Yiwei has been in and out three or four times in one day, with a respectful attitude, and should be from the official family." ”

"Respectful?" The visitor asked.

"Once on board, change your boots on deck before entering."

"Do you recognize the Jinyi Guards who come in and out?"

"The envoy of the punishment is Lord Li, and the commander of the Jingwei is Lord Wang......" Shangguan Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "There are also six or seven people who have been sentenced to the deputy envoy of the probation, and so on." When such a big man arrives in Yangzhou, no one knows you? ”

The slender fingers slowly adjusted the sleeves of his coat, and came to say: "Fortunately, there are not many people like this, I think I probably know who he is...... Did the little guy who sold fish find it? ”

"Not yet, I'm afraid this person is not a fishmonger at all."

"Even if he is not a fishmonger, as long as he is on the boundary of Yangzhou, you should be able to find out."

Shangguan Xi's face sank, and he frowned: "The boundary of Yangzhou is already mixed with snakes and dragons, and my Wu'an Gang is only in charge of waterways, and the affairs on the shore are only three points thin, so it is not good to meddle too much." Is it easy for you to inquire about stalking? Besides, there was an accident in the gang the day before yesterday, and there were not enough people. "The dead brothers were all sent, but the wounded brothers were getting worse day by day, and the doctors who invited her were helpless, and the many helpers really made her anxious.

"The day before yesterday, I heard a little about it, you met the Orientals, and several people were killed and wounded."

"It's a matter of the gang, and I don't bother you." Shangguan Xi said coldly, "I'm doing everything I can do, when will you be able to release people?" ”

The people who came were not annoyed: "Is the master of Shangguan Hall in a hurry?" ”

"It's not in a hurry, but since it's a deal, we should show sincerity to each other." Shangguan Xi accentuated his tone and leaned forward slightly, "I came from a reckless background, I can't get the crepe of the text, if you want to trick me, I promise, my double knife is only afraid that I won't agree." ”

"It's serious!" The visitor smiled slightly, "It's okay, I also like to work with refreshing people." Within three days, I will arrange this matter, but there is one condition, you must let your young helper come in person. ”

Shangguan Xi said vigilantly: "Why do you have to him? ”

"Shangguan Hall Master, don't get me wrong, I'm just helping people and helping the master a favor. If the young helper doesn't come, I'm afraid that this person will not be able to take you away. ”

At this time, the hull shook slightly, and it landed again.

The visitor didn't say much, leaned over and took the green bamboo oil cloth umbrella leaning aside, opened the bamboo curtain, opened the bamboo umbrella, and Shi Shiran got off the boat.

Listening to the sound of soapy leather boots gradually moving away on the bluestone road, Shangguan Xi frowned deeply and sighed for a while.

The boat slowly swings away.

Shen's Medical Center, a small courtyard in the back compartment.

"How's the boss?" Remembering Yang Chengwan, he came over early this summer.

Probably because he didn't sleep at night, Yang Yue's face was slightly haggard, he fetched a bucket of water by the well, took a handful of cold water and threw it on his face, rubbed it vigorously before saying: "I have a fever early in the night, and I don't retreat until dawn, and if you sleep more steadily, you won't go in." ”

Jinxia nodded and asked again, "What about the legs?" What do you think? ”

"It's swollen like steamed buns."

"Huh? Does it matter? What did the doctor say? ”

"Dr. Shen said that swollen legs are normal and can disappear in two days; Fever is also normal, but Daddy is old and should be taken care of. Yang Yue looked at her and said with the same concern, "Are you okay?" Have you taken the pills? Are there any discomforts? ”

"It's been a long time since I got rid of it."

This summer waved his hand aggressively, signaling that he had nothing to do, thinking in his heart whether to tell him about Lu Yi's speculation last night, and hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't want Yang Yue to worry any more, so he was silent.

"You go to sleep for a while, I'll take care of you." She said.

Yang Yue shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, you still go back to the official post." Now the enemy is in the shadows, so you must be careful in everything. ”

"So are you."

Because he had other plans in his heart, he was not reluctant to leave the hospital this summer. At this time, the rain had gradually stopped, she turned over and sat down on her horse, took out the Qianhe Dan given by Yang Yue yesterday from her arms, looked at it again, seemed to have made up her mind, put the medicine bottle back into her arms, clamped her legs, and the horse ran towards the west city gate.

Seeing this peach blossom forest again, it is very different from yesterday's state of mind.

"The peach is dying, scorching its bloom. The son is home, and it is appropriate for his family...... I'd like to see who the man and woman are! Yesterday and summer were stricken with miasma, but the scene was vivid, and she never believed that it was her hallucination, so she decided to take the risk of going into the forest again, and she had to find out.

Before she reached the peach forest, she dismounted and found a remote place with abundant grass to tie her horse.

Taking out the lotus pill given by Yang Yue from her arms, she took one and put it in her mouth, and suddenly a fragrance of water chestnut lotus leaves spread in her mouth, which was very refreshing. Then take two and put them in the palm of her hand, collect the rain and dew on the tip of the grass and soak it, turn the pill into a wet cloth, wet the cloth, and cover her mouth and nose with a wet cloth towel, she straightened up, took a deep breath, and the end of her nose was full of the fragrance of Lotus Dan.

"Six pills will be sold for one or two silver, don't sell fake medicine to pit me!" She gritted her teeth and strode towards the peach forest.

The peach blossoms bring rain, and they look more and more delicate and moving.

Walking to the edge of the peach forest, the wind passed, a little peach came down one after another, and a few petals brushed on her body, one of which was stained on the back of her hand, which was refreshing, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Not allowing herself to have a chance to retreat, she didn't stop her steps, and stepped straight in, but she heard a strong wind behind her head, and before she could turn back, she was clamped on her left arm and dragged out three or four feet away......

"Death!" Someone shouted harshly.

The sound is familiar.

Her arm was dragged so painfully that she almost thought it was dislocated, so she looked up at the person in front of her in pain, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Lord Lu? How did you end up here? ”

Lu Yi let go of his hand and looked at her with a calm face: "I should have asked you this!" You didn't die yesterday, so you came here to die again today? ”

"Of course not," explained this summer, pulling down the cloth covering his mouth and nose, "I came here with all the best things in mind." I had already taken the antidote pill beforehand, and I dissolved the pill and soaked it......"

Lu Yi interrupted her impatiently: "What pill?" ”

"That's it, the detoxification...... Belch...... I can't remember what it's called. She didn't even ask what kind of pill it was, she only heard Da Yang say that it could detoxify.

He took the small porcelain bottle, poured out a pill and sniffed it on the tip of his nose, frowning: "I think this thing is at most refreshing, and it can't solve any poison." ”

"How is that possible! This thing is expensive, only six pills can be sold for one or two pieces of silver. "To refresh your mind, I'll just wash my cold face." ”

Lu Yi looked at her speechlessly.

He tied up the cloth towel and asked him in a sullen voice, "My lord, what are you doing here?" ”

"I heard you say last night that a woman died here, so I'll come and take a look."

"It's good that you ran into me, or it would have been dangerous. You wait outside, and I'll come when I go. As soon as she had said that, she lifted her foot and walked in, and then she was pulled back with great force, and staggered.

Lu Yi frowned and looked at her angrily: "How many lives do you think you have?" ”

"I think ......" this summer actually thought for a moment before he said solemnly, "Judging from the recent situation, there are always six or seven, right?" ”

Feeling that he couldn't talk to her anymore, Lu Yi took a deep breath and ordered directly: "You stay here, don't move." You are not allowed to enter the woods without my orders. ”

"Adult ......"

I wanted to speak this summer, but I was glared at by Lu Yi.

"Don't force me to order your!" He added.

Jinxia immediately silenced, took two steps back, and saw him walking straight into the forest, but he couldn't help but remind: "My lord, this miasma is very powerful, it's best to quit as soon as your throat is dry." ”

Hearing this, Lu Yi's footsteps were slightly sluggish, but he did not respond, and he walked towards the peach blossom forest without turning his head.

There was silence in the forest, and sometimes the wind passed by, and the petals fell.

The ground was damp with dirt, broken petals, and rotting leaves of dead grass. Lu Yi's sharp eyes slowly swept from above, and the stench floating on the tip of his nose made him frown involuntarily.

At the same time, Lin Wai ripped off the masked cloth towel this summer, and the originally wet cloth towel was already half dry. She thought regretfully: If she knew this, she wouldn't have wasted two pills and expensive things. But after thinking about it, after drying, you can put it away, and you can save it for next time, and it's not a waste.

So, while drying a cloth towel, she paced back and forth outside the forest, glancing in from time to time.

Lu Yi's martial arts attainments are much higher than hers, and she knows this, but with this, she doesn't know how long he can last in the miasma.

If he doesn't come out after another half an hour, shouldn't he go in and have a look?

This summer, I looked at the peach blossom forest uneasily, thinking about whether it was too long for half an hour? What if you only have to catch the corpse? If something happens to Lu Yi, Lu Bingding will not give up, and when the time comes, I am afraid that the six doors and the others will have to go around without food......

Another gust of wind passed, and she covered her mouth and nose with a cloth towel and stepped into the peach blossom forest.

The wet soil, Lu Yi's footprints were clearly recognizable, she followed his trail inside, and was surprised to find that what he walked was exactly where she had walked yesterday.

Further on, although her memories were very vague and scattered, with her professional instincts, she could still vaguely recognize the place where she saw the man and woman embracing each other yesterday.

There, empty.

She was stunned, and her hand consciously stroked the peach tree next to her, the trunk was dented in a few places, and the bark burst out, which was knocked by herself with the scabbard yesterday.

At the very least, she wasn't dreaming. So, is it an illusion?

She slowly approached the place where the man and woman were supposed to be, squatting □, the most obvious and fresh footprints in the wet mud on the ground were Lu Yi's, apparently he had been here before, and there were several mutilated marks, among which half of the footprints could be recognized......

Sole? Someone came to the peach blossom forest barefoot?

Jin Xia frowned: This paw print is slender and small, it should be left by a woman, it should be the woman who died?

There were several other marks, two of which had sunk deep into the mud, as if some kind of heavy object had been placed, and a shallow soap boot footprint, which was very blurred, could it be that the man had left it?

Since it is not their own hallucination, what about this pair of men and women?

Looking around this summer, I didn't see a man or a woman, and I vaguely saw the figure of Lu Yi among the peach blossoms.
