In the past few days this summer, most of the effort is to return the gifts sent by officials of all sizes for Lu Yi, after Lu Yi's screening, which people's gifts can be received and which people's gifts can not be received, one by one, she drove the carriage around the whole Yangzhou City, and estimated that the horse's legs and stomachs were about to cramp.

Just after noon, she hurried back, thinking about the meal, and just parked the carriage and entered the corner gate of the backyard of the official post, she was pulled into the carriage again.

"My lord? What's wrong? She looked at Lu Yi and said strangely.

"Did you bring the medicine that Mrs. Shen gave you last time?" Lu Yi got into the carriage first, and asked her in a low voice after lowering the curtain.

This summer nodded.

"Out of the west of the city, I'll take you to meet someone." He said.

"Who?"

"You'll know when you arrive."

This summer, he didn't ask any more questions, drove to the west of the city according to his instructions, and finally stopped outside the lush bamboo forest.

Walking through this bamboo forest was Mrs. Shen's residence, and she thought in surprise: Isn't it Mrs. Shen that she is back?

followed Lu Yi to the bamboo forest, I don't know what method Mrs. Shen used when she left, there were many fewer snakes in the bamboo forest, and occasionally I saw one or two, and they were also interested in the high place, and they didn't pay attention to the pedestrians below.

Straight into the depths of the bamboo forest, Lu Yi went straight into Mrs. Shen's house.

This summer followed him, seeing that the house was still empty, obviously Mrs. Shen did not come back, and went straight to the room, only to see a person lying on the bamboo bed, with a confused face, and when she looked closely, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"He, he...... Is he Rui? ”

Lu Yimian sank like water and nodded.

This summer said incredulously: "How could he ...... Turned out like this? ”

In front of him, Ah Rui, who was lying on the bamboo bed, was covered with Lu Yi's robe, and there were many scars on his face just by looking at it, which was already red, swollen and ulcerating.

Lifting his robe a little this summer, Rui also had multiple wounds on his body, all of which were as festering as his facial wounds, and although they had been cleaned, they were still terrifying and difficult to look at. She frowned, squatted down □ to carefully examine the wounds, and found that the wounds were not deep, there were no fatal injuries, and the most important thing was that the wounds were poisonous.

The people who wounded him were simply deliberately teasing him, slashing all over him, but none of them took his life, intending to make him slowly fester, torture to death.

"This is the poison on the sword in the pocket of the Oriental, the same poison you had in the previous time, but there are so many wounds...... Could it be that he has met an enemy? This summer was incomprehensible, and took out the medicine left by Mrs. Shen from her arms, and was about to give him medicine, but was stopped by Lu Yi.

"I'll come." He took the medicine, "Mrs. Shen is saying that this medicine is to be taken internally and externally, right?" ”

Jinxia nodded: "Yes." ”

"You go boil some water."

Lu Yi sent her out, only then did he lift his robe and give Ah Rui the medicine, during which Ah Rui was in a coma. By the time the water was boiled this summer, Rui's injuries had already been medicated. This summer, I melted the pill in warm water and fed him little by little with a small wooden spoon.

After everything that could be done, this summer took a long breath and asked Lu Yi, "My lord, what's going on?" ”

Lu Yi frowned deeply: "When I found him, he was already like this." ”

"Could it be that there are Orientals around here? Didn't clear it last time? "Guess this summer," but with Rui's kung fu, if there were only one or two Orientals, they shouldn't be injured like this...... My lord, you said you found him, have you been looking for him? ”

She was really very keen in some things, and surprisingly slow in some things, Lu Yi looked at her and said honestly: "I talked to him once, and then I thought he would come to me soon, but he never came, and then I heard that Shangguan Xi was also looking for him......"

Jinxia glanced at Ah Rui and turned to Lu Yi: "What are you talking about with him?" ”

Lu Yi didn't want to say more: "I guess Yan Shifan found out something and attacked him." It's just that I don't understand, how can Yan Shifan have the poison of the Orientals? ”

"He, there is collusion with the Orientals?" This summer was shocked, "Colluding with the Japanese Kou, his courage is also fattened!" ”

Lu Yi was silent, staring at Ah Rui, who was unconscious on the bamboo bed, everything had to wait until he woke up to have an answer.

This summer, he supported his elbows and cheeks, and also looked at A Rui, and suddenly remembered something: "My lord, let's leave for Zhejiang tomorrow, what should he do?" ”

"Take it away."

Lu Yi had already thought that although Yan Shifan had left Yangzhou, Yangzhou still had his eyes and ears, and Ah Rui categorically couldn't stay here, so he could only take him away. He has also considered the specific arrangements: "Tomorrow, you hire two carriages, one of which is specially for those gifts, and order Yang Yue to escort the carriage, and let Ah Rui hide in this carriage when the time comes." ”

This summer suddenly understood, there are many gifts in the car, and it is a trouble to lose one, and the idle people will not approach the carriage in order to avoid suspicion, and it is more appropriate to have Yang Yue escort the car.

He ...... What if you are so badly injured and die? "There are hundreds of wounds on Rui's body and face, far more than Lu Yi's injuries before, and I am worried that he will not be able to survive this summer.

Lu Yi was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "He has an enemy in his heart, and such a person's life is always a little harder." He still has a crush in his heart, thinking about her, so he is reluctant to die. ”

Listening to this summer, looking at Lu Yi's side, he suddenly wanted to ask him: So, what do you have in your heart, my lord?

This question went around between her lips and tongue, and finally because of the difference in identity, she didn't dare to make a mistake, and she didn't ask it.

Guarding Ah Rui until the evening, he didn't see any improvement, and he was a little anxious this summer, because Xie Baili specially prepared a practice banquet for her and Yang Yue tonight, if she didn't go, it would be really inappropriate to brush Xie Baili's kindness. This summer, I hesitated again and again, and I had to explain the reason to Lu Yi.

"He's going to do it for you?" Lu Yi leaned on the bamboo chair and raised his eyebrows slightly, "How can I really treat you as a daughter-in-law?" ”

"How is it possible, he just looks at the face of the leader." This summer, I always feel that Lu Yi's tone is weird, and I can't tell what is weird.

Lu Yi didn't look at her either, and continued to himself: "Maybe he can't rest assured, and wants Xie Xiao to accompany you on a trip, this is his real intention." Senior Yang probably couldn't ask for it. ”

"How could it be ......"

"It's not necessarily impossible...... Lu Yi snorted and glanced at her, "Which one do you pick for these two family affairs?" ”

"I don't plan to pick any one, I told him everything about Xie Xiao's side." This summer is busy.

"It's strange that you can explain this kind of thing." He didn't have a good breath.

"Really, really made it clear." Seeing that the sky was darkening, and it was estimated that he would not be able to start the banquet this summer, he was really anxious, "My lord, can I go?" I'll bring you more food to eat, okay? What do you like to eat? ”

"You can do it."

Lu Yiai ignored it and waved her hand to let her go.

****************************************************

On this night, the situation in Xie Mansion was unexpected.

Originally, Xie Baili just wanted to set up a family banquet, which was considered to be practiced for this summer and Yang Yue, but he didn't expect Xie Xiao to receive a letter at noon, a letter from his master.

Xie Xiao and Shangguan Xi are from the same family, and they are lay disciples of the South Shaolin Temple. At present, Zhejiang is rampant, the people are not living, the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, went up the mountain to meet the abbot of Shaolin Temple, and the abbot sent his disciples down the mountain to protect the people, commonly known as Shaolin monks. At the same time, the abbot wrote to all the Shaolin lay disciples, asking them to come to Zhejiang to help and fight against the Japanese invaders.

As soon as this letter arrived, Xie Xiao couldn't sit still when he saw it, and hurriedly called Shangguan Xi and handed her the letter.

Shangguan Xi didn't say anything, but asked, "Does the old man know?" ”

Xie Xiao frowned annoyantly: "I just want to discuss this matter with you first, not long after I came back, the old man will definitely not agree; You are the hall master, and you can't let go of the help, and the old man won't refuse to agree. ”

"No matter what, whether you go or not, you have to let the old man know." Shangguan Xi said to him, "Like three years ago without saying goodbye, do you think the old man can stand it a second time?" ”

“…… I know. Xie Xiao understood what she meant, "I'll go find the old man." ”

Xie Baili read the letter, kept a calm face, did not say anything, and only ordered the servants to invite Shangguan Xi's father, Shangguan Yuanlong, to the mansion. As soon as Shangguan Yuanlong came, he entered the old man's inner room, the door was closed tightly, and he didn't know what he was discussing.

The two juniors didn't know what medicine was sold in the elder gourd, so they could only wait in the outer flower hall. Shangguan Xi fell, but Xie Xiao was uneasy.

"I shouldn't have listened to you if I knew I wouldn't have listened to you, you see, I called your father too." He said annoyedly, "The two of them are together, and they must be thinking about how to keep us firmly in mind, and it is better to tie them to the waistband of their trousers, and not go anywhere, so that they can have the most peace of mind." ”

It happened that Yang Yue helped Yang Chengwan to come to the flower hall, and when he heard Xie Xiao complaining, Yang Chengwan sighed after asking the reason.

"Uncle Yang, why are you sighing?" Shangguan Xi asked.

Yang Chengwan looked at them, then at Yang Yue, and said with a wry smile: "Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, you are still young now, how can you understand, and when you have children in the future, you will understand." ”

"I'll talk about the future later......" Xie Xiao leaned over to Yang Chengwan, "Uncle Yang, you and my father have been good brothers for many years, but you should tell me, is my father willing to let me go to Zhejiang?" ”

"As a parent, who is willing to let his children go into danger," Yang Chengwan replied, "and it is still so far away." ”

Xie Xiao said frustratedly: "That is, I won't agree." ”

Yang Chengwan sighed lightly and was about to speak again, but saw Xie Baili and Shangguan Yuanlong walking out.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy......"

Xie Xiao and Shangguan Xi hurriedly stepped forward.

Xie Baili ignored Xie Xiao, walked straight to Yang Chengwan, and said with a smile: "Say that you will practice for the children tonight, and our old brothers will also have a good drink." ”

"Dad, Dad......" Xie Xiao followed Xie Baili's side, "You should give me a sentence first, don't keep letting me guess if it's okay?" ”

Xie Baili turned his head and glared at him: "Little rabbit cub!" What's the hurry, Lao Tzu won't let you go! ”

"How unreasonable are you! I'm ...... these days."

Xie Xiao was in a hurry, and before he finished speaking, he was dragged by Shangguan Xi, shook his head at him, and motioned him not to continue.

Shangguan Yuanlong saw it in his eyes, so he called Shangguan Xi to his side and asked, "Xi'er, what do you think?" ”

Shangguan Xi said truthfully: "The master has a life, Xi'er is duty-bound, but there is no one to take over the affairs of the gang, what I am worried about is this." ”

Xie Baili heard it in his ears, and said to Xie Xiao angrily: "Look at the people." ”

"What's wrong with people......" Xie Xiao didn't understand why the old man just didn't like himself, "I'm also worried about the gang, but this matter always has a priority......"

"You better stop talking, my brain hurts as soon as you speak." Xie Baili interrupted him, seeing that the banquet was ready, and there was no trace of this summer, he asked Yang Chengwandao, "Why is that kid so busy this summer?" It's a girl's house. ”

"Don't wait for her, let's eat first." Yang Cheng Wandao.

"Then how to do it, it's for them to practice today, and then wait."

As she was talking, she rushed back this summer, and as soon as she entered the door, she was scolded by Yang Cheng Wanbo, and she hurriedly asked everyone to accompany her.
