I walked in a snowy field, when did it snow in the capital? I shouted that it was cold, but no one paid any attention to me. I didn't have thick clothes to wear over my body, and I didn't have a pair of boots on my feet. I was barefoot, with only thin clothes.

"If you don't wake up, I'll be gone."

A deep male voice came, and I looked around and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"You don't even know me anymore?"

"Where are you?"

"I'm right in front of you."

My body gradually warmed up, I no longer felt cold, at that moment I clearly felt that I was in a dream, so I opened my eyes and finally saw the owner of the voice in the dream.

Xuan Xiao looked at me with lowered eyes and said, "Finally woke up, you lie down first, and I'll go out and call a doctor." ”

In fact, even if Xuan Lonely asked me to get up, I would lie down, because there seemed to be something very heavy hanging on my body, and I couldn't get up at all.

The doctor finished checking the pulse and said slowly: "I have recovered a little, after all, I slept for three days." ”

"I slept for three days?"

"Do you think these days are a worrying death. Mrs. cried vigorously, Ah Yan persuaded herself to cry too, the two women hugged their heads and cried, and others couldn't persuade them at all. ”

"I'm tired of you, and now they don't have to cry anymore."

"Bothering me? You saved my life. Originally, that dart was coming towards my heart, and if you hadn't blocked it, the toxin would have killed me. ”

"It's just a gesture, you just let me rest for three days."

Xuan Lin frowned and looked at me, and said, "You are really a strange person, obviously it is a matter of life, but you are so lightly said by you, it seems that it is not your life at all. ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Anyway, I'm fine now, I'll get better after the injury, and I don't have to suffer any more if I die." ”

Xuan stood stunned for a while, not saying anything. The doctor had already prescribed the medicine and said, "According to this prescription, take it twice a day, and let me see the situation in ten days." ”

"Thank you, doctor." Xuan Xiao said.

"This is what a contemptible person should do, Master Xuan doesn't have to be polite." After saying that, the doctor took his leave. I sat up slowly, only feeling sore, not having much strength, and I didn't know how many days I would have to rest for this injury, after all, toxins are not easy to excrete in the body.

"You still don't go to the yamen to do business? There are so many prisoners waiting for you to arrest. ”

"Some people do the affairs of the yamen, and I am not the only one who catches the head in the capital. Madame, please let me take care of you, how dare I disobey, besides, I am the person you saved, and I should take care of you too. ”

"Strange, the dignified son wants to take care of me! You're welcome. ”

Xuan Xiao said angrily: "Don't forget, we have already caught Shen Kan, if he confesses to you, I can report it to the emperor, and let the emperor personally order you killers to be killed." ”

I smiled and said, "I'm not afraid, I don't believe it, Xuan Gongzi is so kind-hearted, how can he harm me." ”

Xuan Lin wanted to say something but couldn't say it, just frowned and looked at me, completely helpless against me.

"Alright, I'll get you some medicine."

Xuan Lin picked up the medicine bag and went out, and after a while, Madame and Ah Yan walked in, and when they saw that I was awake, they began to cry again.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm not fine."

I can't see a woman crying the most, and when a woman cries, I am easy to soften my heart, which can easily destroy my mind.

"The doctor said you were a hundred forgetful drugs...... You will forget a lot of things, and my wife and I are afraid that you will forget our ......," Ah Yan said and cried again.

Forget the poison? Shen Kan usually smears poison on hidden weapons that kill him directly, how can he apply such chronic poison?

But fortunately, I don't seem to have forgotten anything.

My head is still dizzy, it is almost impossible to get out of bed, and I have no strength in my body at all, originally Ah Yan said that I wanted to help, but Xuan Lin insisted on taking care of the work and bringing water and food, saying that this was what he should do, and Ah Yan continued to serve Madame.

It was late autumn, and the weather was getting colder and colder, and I would soon be able to walk on the ground, often walking a little farther and practicing in a small courtyard in Changfu, fearing that my original skills would be wasted. At first, I didn't dare to practice for too long, I only dared to stay for half an hour, and then I was able to practice for an hour and a half without interruption. In just half a month, I was almost completely recovered.

"I thought you were staying in the house, but it was cold, and you ran out." Xuan Lin came in from the door of the small courtyard, holding a bowl of water in his hand, and said, "Drink saliva." ”

I unceremoniously took the bowl and drank it in one gulp, and unceremoniously handed it back to him.

Xuan Lin took the bowl and said, "The doctor said that you should not practice so vigorously, and it will not be wasted if you practice after the toxin is completely discharged." ”

"It's easy to say, if my martial arts are wasted, there will be no one to save you on the street next time."

"What nonsense, I'm not that weak."

"Really? But then again, I haven't seen your martial arts yet, when will you compete with me? ”

Xuan Xiao snorted coldly and said, "Your injuries haven't healed yet, don't recuperate in vain." ”

"Don't use my injuries to excuse yourself, no, no."

Xuan Lin was obviously provoked by me, and said, "Okay, since you want to see it so much, then I'm welcome." ”

Xuan Lin pulled out the long knife at his waist, this is just a fine official knife, if it were to be compared with the short knife in my hand, maybe mine would be better.

Of course, the most important thing in the competition is not the weapon, but the skill, especially like me, the strength is definitely not comparable to Xuan Lonely, and I can only dodge and attack flexibly.

Without hurting the other party, I can clearly feel that I am not as strong as before, and I may have to recuperate for a while. And Xuan Lin didn't seem to let me that way, but in the end, he stopped in time and said, "If you don't fight, you will scold me if you beat the doctor again." ”

"You're interested, but I'm really a little overwhelmed, and it's not too late to fight when I'm well." I put the knife back in the scabbard at my waist and asked, "Hey, don't you know Muyang, tell me how he's doing." ”

"Muyang?" Xuan Lin glanced at me and asked instead of answering, "What kind of person do you think he is?" ”

"I don't know, that's why I asked you."

"You're interested in him."

"I just want to know how a young person with no background can sit on the third grade."

"I don't care if other people have a background or not, whether they are promoted by their own skills, I only know that Muyang is a third-grade official who completely relies on his own ability, and is deeply loved by the emperor."

Leaning against the peach tree in the yard, I asked, "What good did he do?" ”

"For a period of time a year ago, corrupt officials in many places were rampant and domineering, oppressing the people, and the ideas of the people around the emperor were inconsequential and had no effect, so the emperor summoned people from the people to find a way. At that time, among the people who were in the audience, some people were for the reward given by the emperor, and some people were for the reputation given by the emperor, in short, although there were many people who came, it was difficult for them to be sincere for the country, and the emperor was very disappointed, until the appearance of Muyang, the emperor really saw the talent. ”

"A year ago, I might have been on the run, I had no idea about it."

Xuan Xiao glanced at me and continued: "I don't know what idea Mu Yang gave the emperor, anyway, the emperor immediately adopted it and implemented it, within a month, all the corrupt officials were arrested in prison, and all the stolen goods returned to the hands of the people, when the emperor wanted to announce that this was Mu Yang's wise decision, Mu Yang refused, he said that he just wanted to help, and he didn't want any honor." The emperor gave him the official title of Zheng Sanpin, and specially let him manage the affairs of the officials, and there are many subordinates, who are not afraid of being busy at all, and they don't have to run around. ”

I looked at Xuan Lin and asked, "Then how did you meet?" ”

"We just had dinner together, my brother is a Hubu Shangshu, I know him, we only met not long ago, he said he was going to Xuzhou, I asked him to call you back."

"That's supposed to be, anyway, I don't think you're very close."

Xuan Xiao pursed his lips and said, "Why are you too close, I just envy him for being smart." ”

"You're smart too."

Xuan Ling's face froze, and he said, "What? ”

I looked at his nervous look, went over and slapped his arm, and said, "It's nothing, I'll go first, if you want to stand, just keep standing here." ”

With that, I strode away, leaving him alone, still holding my empty bowl in his hand.
