Chapter 18: Li Jing fell from his horse
Outside Yi Feng Pavilion, Li Jing led two guards to cross the long street, his face cold. The guards next to him saw it, but they didn't dare to speak.
Suddenly!
Li Jing raised the whip in his hand violently and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely.
"Hiss~"
The black-haired horse was in pain, and the man stood up and let out a cry of pain.
Li Jing pulled the reins of the horse with his left hand, pressed down with his right hand, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and knocked the horse's belly hard with the stirrup, and the high-headed horse jumped out with a 'whoosh'.
The guards on the left and right were shocked.
"Be careful, sir!"
"It's not good, the horse is scared, protect the adults!"
The two guards hurriedly chased after them.
However, they were still a step too late.
The black horse that Li Jing was riding was already a divine horse, which would be painful, and the speed was extremely fast, rushing dozens of feet in one breath, until it hit a fence, then stopped its four hooves and tripped to the ground.
And Li Jing on horseback was directly thrown out a few zhang, and rolled on the ground for a zhang or two, before his face was covered with blood, and he lay on the ground with his eyes closed, motionless.
"My lord! My lord! ”
"Quick, find a doctor!"
On Chang'an Street, Li Jing fell from his horse, and the frightened two guards turned pale, and cold sweat soaked their clothes.
In Yi Feng Pavilion, Yi saw that Zong Xiu was sleeping with his legs in a drowsy manner, with a little entanglement in his starry eyes, and finally he used his hands to help Zong Xiu up and walked to the big red tent inside.
After settling down Zong Xiu, Yi poured affection and left quickly, returning to his room.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a woman sitting in the room, playing with the jewelry box on the table, as if she had been waiting for her for a long time.
The woman is in her early thirties, with a graceful physique, dressed in a red and green satin palace dress, and her head is full of golden hairpins and jade hairpins, showing grace and luxury.
Yi saw each other and was obviously stunned: "Why is Mom here?" ”
This woman's name is Yan Chengcheng, and more than ten years ago, she was also a strange woman like Mrs. Li Jing's red whisk girl, and she was stunning in the world.
After the world returned to the Tang Dynasty, Yan Chengcheng did not find a lover to marry like the Red Whisk Girl, but after disappearing for a few years, he mysteriously appeared in Yifeng Pavilion and became a mother.
Yan Qingcheng pursed his lips and smiled, reached out and took out a yellow album from his sleeve, and said, "Daughter, my mother is also helpless, I just received the news that Lord Wei Gong has fallen off the horse." ”
Yan Tingcheng said while pretending to sigh: "Hey, Lord Wei Gong has been in battle for a long time, and his riding skills are superb, this time he went out from our Yifeng Pavilion and fell off his horse after drinking, His Majesty must not blame." Mother thought that instead of waiting for His Majesty to ask, it would be better to record today's events in a book and take the initiative to send them, so as not to be punished by His Majesty. ”
Saying that, Yan Tingcheng stretched out his hand and took Yi Tingqing's hand: "Daughter, you are alone in Duke Wei's private room tonight, how to write this fold and what to write, my mother will hand it over to you." ”
Yi took a deep breath and said, "Mom, don't worry, my daughter will save it." ”
"Hehe, my daughter is doing things, and my mother is still relieved. Remember to write it and let Xiaocui hand it to me. ”
Yan Chengcheng left with a smile, and in the room, Yi Chengqing picked up the brush on the table and couldn't put it down for a long time.
Early the next morning.
Zong Xiu was sleeping soundly, and the door was kicked open with a 'bang', and then he saw Cheng Biting Jin, Cheng Huailiang and his son hurriedly breaking in.
Next to him, Yan Chengcheng also pretended to block: "Cheng Ye, Cheng Ye, you are so unruly, the guests are still sleeping." ”
Cheng Biting Jin rolled his eyes: "What! Who in the entire Chang'an City doesn't know that I Lao Cheng is the most unruly, you get out of the way for me. ”
Cheng Yanjin pushed hard, pushed Yan Chengcheng out of the room, and said to Cheng Huailiang: "Go and guard the door, I won't go out, and no one will be allowed to come in." ”
"Yes, father."
Cheng Huailiang was burly, and stood at the door, his big eyes were round.
Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Yan Chengcheng sighed, and smiled at the other individuals who were woken up: "It's okay, it's okay, Gong Lu is coming to find someone, let's disperse." ”
When those dignitaries who were woken up heard 'Cheng Biting Jin is looking for someone', they instantly retracted into their rooms, closed the door tightly, and didn't dare to show their faces.
In the private room, Cheng Yanjin saw that Zong Xiu was still sleeping, he blew his beard angrily and glared, walked quickly to the bed, stretched out his big hand to lift Zong Xiu's clothes, and grabbed Zong Xiu.
"Okay, you bastard boy, the entire Chang'an City is about to turn over, you still have the heart to sleep! Get up! ”
Zong Xiu opened his eyes in a daze, and what caught his eye was Cheng Biting Jin's hideous old face, and he couldn't help but be frightened, struggled to stand up, brushed Cheng Biting Jin's hand away, and said, "Brother Cheng, why are you here?" ”
Cheng Yanjin hugged his arms and sneered: "Hehe, if I don't come, do you plan to hide in Gentle Township and never go out?" Good boy, I said that you refused to stay last day, it turned out that you came here. ”
Zong Xiu touched his nose embarrassedly, and sneered: "I don't know what's going on, maybe I drank too much yesterday, and I got here while walking." ”
Cheng Yanjin continued to sneer: "Hehe, you drank too much, but you asked for half of Li Jing's old life!" ”
"Huh?"
Zong Xiu was slightly stunned, and all the events of last night came to mind.
He vaguely remembered that he met Li Jing last time, and he said something to Li Jing with the strength of wine.
However, even if Zong Xiu wanted to break his head, he couldn't recall what he said to Li Jing.
"Damn, I won't get drunk, I'll tell Li Jing everything."
Thinking of this, Zong Xiu was scared into a cold sweat, especially when he saw Cheng Biting Jin's cold face, he was even more frightened, lest he and Li Jing say something that should not be said.
He's coming through time, and that's his biggest secret. If this secret is exposed, Lao Li will not be locked up in the small black house every minute, taking a small leather whip and tiger chair every day, and torturing the history of future generations.
Zong Xiu was sweating profusely, looked at Cheng Yanjin tremblingly, and asked tentatively, "What's wrong with Li Jing?" ”
Cheng Biting King Kong came out of Daming Palace in a very bad mood. Not only him, but all the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty were all scolded by Lao Li pointing his nose.
"What's wrong with Li Jing? I'd like to ask you! I heard that you and Lao Li had a drink yesterday, and after drinking, Lao Li went out and scared the horse, and almost lost his life. ”
After Cheng Yanjin finished speaking, he pointed at Zong Xiu's nose and shouted.
"Good boy, yes! Li Jing has been on the battlefield all his life, and he has never seen any battles. Even if you can come and go freely in a million-dollar army, why just meet you, you will break your arm and leg, and even hand over a fold to sick overnight. ”
Zong Xiu's brain was spinning rapidly, and he was also thinking about what he said to Li Jing.
However, I drank too much wine last year, and I couldn't remember what I said.
Looking at Cheng Biting Jin's appearance, he doesn't seem to know.
Just when Zong Xiu was in a dilemma, there was a voice outside the door.
"Lu Gong, the little woman Yi has something to say to her son last night, can you come in? When Wei Gong left last night, he left a message, saying that if the guest officer inside woke up, let me bring him a message. Wei Gong's orders were urgent, and the little woman didn't dare to slack off. ”
"Come in!"
Cheng Yanjin said angrily.
"Thank you, Duke Lu."
The door of the private room was pushed open, and Yi Xiangqing, who was dressed in a red long dress, walked in, and when the lotus step moved lightly, the long sleeves fluttered, and the strange aroma came to the nose, which was very good.
"I've seen Lu Gong."
Yi poured a salute to Cheng Biting Jin Yaoyao, and there was no joy or anger on his jade face, and he was unusually calm.
Cheng Biting Jin Gui is the prince of the country, and he is Lao Li's iron buddy, so he naturally knows the root of easy affection, waved his hand at the moment, and said with a cold face: "No need to be polite." Didn't Li Jing have something to say for you to bring him? Say it, what words. ”
"Gong Wei said that let Master Zong quit drinking in the future, otherwise he will lose his head due to drinking sooner or later."
"That's it?" Cheng Yanjin rolled his eyes.
Yi poured affection and said: "Duke Wei also said that he owes Lord Zong a favor, and if Lord Zong needs it in the future, he can go to the Duke of Weiguo Mansion to find him." ”
Yi thought about it for a while, and then took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve and folded it into a boxy square and handed it to Zong Xiu.
"Master Zong, this is also left to you by Lord Wei Gong, so that you can burn it immediately after reading it, so that outsiders don't know about it."
"Huh?"
Zong Xiu took the envelope curiously and opened it subconsciously.
Cheng Yanjin has already probed over.
"Brother Cheng, you're not authentic."
Zong Xiu put away the letterhead and hid from Cheng Biting Jin.
Cheng bit Jin pursed his mouth and said, "Cut, I want to know what is written in it, just go to Lao Li and ask." ”
Only then did Zong Xiu open the letterhead.
After only one glance, Zong Xiu's expression froze, his eyes narrowed slightly, he stared at the letterhead for a moment, directly turned on the lamp cover at the head of the bed, burned the letterhead with the candle flame, and then doused the ashes with tea and crushed it fiercely.
Cheng Yanjin muttered, "Yes, boy, be cautious enough." ”
Zong Xiu smiled, didn't explain, got up and arched his hand to Yi: "Thank you Yi for your help, Zong has written it down, and there will be heavy thanks in the future." ”
Yi Qianqing bowed slightly, and said, "My lord's words are serious, and I will retire with affection." ”
