Episode 5: The two sides of the strait are separated, and the ugly slave travels with him in the dark 6
At the main gate of the county government, it was not Zhou Chang who pushed the door out, but the county commander Zhou who was wearing an official hat with a big belly, this person is this virtue on weekdays, he will never wear an official uniform when he travels in civilian clothes, but this official hat never wants to take it off, and he is never afraid of provoking right and wrong, with his identity, right and wrong? All of them are buttoned up with his official hats, where is there any right or wrong to dare to come forward?
Liu Wu and Duan Yifeng bowed their heads sideways, watching Lord Zhou walk towards the teahouse opposite, Duan Yifeng's eyes swept away, and saw a beautiful woman standing by the window on the second floor of the teahouse opposite, constantly scratching her head and making gestures to Lord Zhou below, and the rest of the picture even a veteran like him didn't dare to look at it anymore, for fear that he would spit out three buckets of sour water and vomit to death here!
"Why are you so unlucky to meet the county lord?"
"I don't know, sister-in-law and I should wait at the side door, if we can't wait, let's go back, don't stay here for a long time."
"It's just my uncle."
The two squatted behind the stone poodle, and after a while, they only heard the side door squeak, and when the two turned around, they saw the black-faced man walking out of the side door with Zhou Chang, which surprised the two who were waiting.
Duan Yifeng said: "Why did you come out of the side door?" ”
Zhou Chang smiled and said: "It's inconvenient for Dong Mingsa to come out of the main gate, so I have to follow him to the side door, and besides, which door is not the door of my Zhou family, what does he do with so many rules?" Are you going to come in with me or are you going to walk through the main entrance? ”
"You can make fun of me, don't talk about the side door of your Zhou Mansion, I can also walk through the back door!" Duan Yifeng looked at Zhou Chang and said with a smile.
"Miss Liu, we're meeting again." Zhou Chang smiled at the catkins and made a gesture of please. Liu Fu smiled and returned the salute.
Liu Wu and Duan Yifeng followed Zhou Chang into the county government, Dong Ming Sa held the wooden basin and looked at the back of Liu Wu, and sighed, the mistake has been committed, how to remedy it now? He had no choice but to continue to wash his clothes, but it was useless to think too much, and he limped out of the city.
"Zhou Gongzi, is that person really the laundry worker in your house?" Liu Wu entered the door and chatted with Zhou Chang as he walked.
"You're talking about Dongming Sadu, right? He is indeed in charge of washing clothes in my house, but don't underestimate him, he is the best at raising horses, and he used to walk in the army, but he fled here after the defeat of the army, and was taken in by me. ”
"So powerful? Was his leg lame during the war? ”
"Lame?" Zhou Chang stopped his footsteps and frowned and thought.
Seeing Zhou Chang stop, Liu Wu asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Zhou Chang said: "It's okay, Dongming has always been fine before, but when I saw him this morning, I fell like this when I wanted to do something, and I didn't say anything." Oh, by the way, is there something wrong with Miss Liu coming to me today? If you don't come to me to drink when you fly, you will be tripped at home, and you will not be able to leave. ”
"Zhou Gongzi can laugh and laugh, where will I care about him, but something did happen yesterday, we were attacked at home outside the city, Meng Zhao was seriously injured, and now he is still lying unconscious in the pharmacy in the east of the city."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Chang's brows furrowed even tighter, and he asked, "Are you okay when you fly?" But what weapon was he wounded by? ”
"Meng Zhao is still safe now, but he still hasn't woken up, he was injured by an arrow, and one of them was almost shot in the heart!"
"Arrows? Can the arrows be left? ”
"But there's one on me."
"Okay, you two, please come in with me and talk to each other." Zhou Chang welcomed the two of them in, and said to the doorman: "Guard the outer door, if someone comes to block the outside, if my father asks, he will say that I am studying, and it is inconvenient to disturb." ”
"Yes, Childe." The doorman answered, and went to the doorway outside the cloister to stand guard.
Zhou Chang turned around and closed the door, walked to the table and poured a glass of water for the two, and said: "Since the last time Miss Liu was trapped in the fire, I have paid attention to the situation in Xunyang City. ”
"Berton, the two of us are not here to investigate the case."
"Huh?"
"Uncle Duan, let's talk about it, I'm here to ask for something to ask for a son."
"What Miss Liu said, what do you ask for, but if you can do it, you will not refuse."
"I want to ask for some medicinal materials from the son's house to boost qi and replenish blood and strengthen the foundation of Peiyuan, Lang Zhong said that the son's family has a standing one, can you allow me some first, and let me return it later?"
"Miss Liu doesn't need to say any more, I'll tell you to go down and send it to the medicine shop. When I fly, it is better to recuperate in Xunyang's house, and it is also convenient for me to visit. ”
Liu Wu was happy in his heart, and said: "Zhou Gongzi is very loving, the little woman will report later, I will go back to take care of Meng Zhao first, and I won't stay long." ”
"Miss Liu, slow down, this matter is very important, if it can be said to be an accident once, I am afraid that someone will target you two if there are accidents one after another, aren't you with arrows? Show it to me, and when you go back, remember not to mention that you have come to my house today, and I will have someone secretly investigate. ”
"In this way, then there will be Lao Zhou's son." Liu Wu handed Zhou Chang the arrow that Lang Zhong took out from Meng Feishi last night, and Zhou Chang didn't stay long, and asked the doorman to secretly send the two out of the house.
After Liu Fu and Duan Yifeng left, Zhou Chang took out the small handkerchief that Liu Wu gave him, which was wrapped in the cluster of arrows shot at Meng Feishi.
Zhou Chang looked at this arrow cluster at the light for a long time, and found that the craftsmanship of this arrow cluster was very rare, so he took this arrow cluster to the study, wanting to check the comparison of arrow cluster patterns in various places issued by the imperial court in previous years.
Under this investigation, Zhou Chang was confused again, this arrow cluster did not come from the army, could it be that someone dared to make armor privately? This matter can be big or small, a bad one will involve a big event, Zhou Chang held the arrow cluster in his hand, and he was confused and at a loss for a while.
A few days later, Meng Feishi woke up, Liu Fu was very happy, and asked him while feeding him porridge, "Zhou Gongzi said that he wanted to keep you in the city to recuperate, are you willing?" ”
Meng Fei was still very weak at this time, his lips were shriveled, his face was colorless, and his mouth was as low as that of an old man in the twilight, "Don't stay in the city, you immediately leave a letter and send it to him, and let him arrange a carriage to send the two of us out of the city." ”
"But your injuries haven't healed yet, Lang Zhong said you can't move lightly!"
"Confused! The person who attacked me that night didn't mention his martial arts, but his archery skills were extremely high, if I stayed in Xunyang, I wouldn't have to make things bigger and let others suffer, and then ......"
Meng Feishi suddenly stopped talking, and Liu Wu thought that Meng Feishi had fainted again, so he quickly shook him and said, "Meng Zhao, how are you?" Do you want to call Lang Zhong, don't scare me! ”
"Slow down, if you shake it any longer, something will really happen!"
"Then what are you scaring me for no reason! What do you want to say? ”
"It's okay, let me think about it again." Meng Feishi remembered Xunyang's rumors about the two of them, and deliberately avoided them.
"Can you eat some more? You haven't eaten for a few days, so why don't you eat two bites? ”
The corners of Meng Feishi's mouth twitched: "You cooked this porridge, right?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Liu Wu's face was ugly when he saw Meng Fei, thinking that the porridge he cooked was really unpalatable.
"There is progress!" Meng Fei said calmly.
Liu Fu smiled sweetly, nothing made her happier than Meng Feishi's praise, but Meng Feishi's potential meaning Liu Wu didn't hear it, although this porridge was cooked, it was still unpalatable, so that Meng Fei would rather be hungry than eat any more, which shows that Liu Wu's cooking skills are indeed terrifying.
Liu Fu took the porridge bowl away and brought a pen and paper and put it in front of Meng Feishi, looked at Meng Feishi, and said, "Your injury is not healed yet, I will write for you?" ”
Meng Fei had a surging breath of evil in his chest, and he was almost angry to death by Liu Fu! Did she forget? Even if Meng Fei was not injured, he couldn't write letters, because of him, he couldn't read! Why do you mention this stubble? It's better to let the catkins come to the door to say!
"Let's ask Zhou Chang to come over."
"Oh, okay then, you take a rest first, I'll go to Gongzi Zhou's mansion and invite him over."
"Be careful on the road."
"Okay." Liu Wu took away the pillow behind Meng Feishi, helped him lie down, covered the quilt and gently exited the door.
When I got out, I realized that it was ten o'clock at noon, and the sun was full, but the people had already come out, so I had to go to the north of the city against the sun.
When he walked to the door of the county government, the catkins were already hot and sweaty, and stopped at the side door to look left and right.
Just when I didn't know what to do, Dong Mingsadu, who had returned from laundry, came over, and when he saw the catkins, his heart moved, and he stepped forward and asked, "Why did Miss Liu stop here?" ”
Liu Fu was startled, turned around and took a look, it turned out to be Dongming Sadu, patted his chest, and said, "Startle me, why don't you walk without a sound?" ”
"Blame me, blame me, what is Miss Liu doing here? But looking for a childe? ”
Seeing that Dong Ming Sa asked, Liu Wu said: "I did come to find Zhou Gongzi, I waited for a long time last time, and I waited outside this time, and I don't know how to get in." ”
"Come with me."
"No need to report?"
"Childe said that Miss Liu is here, there is no need to spread the word, but someone needs to guide the way to avoid unnecessary trouble."
Dongming pushed open the side door, welcomed the catkins in, closed the door casually, and closed the latch.
"Huh? Why is this door not locked? ”
"I'm the only one walking through this door, and most of the others are in the back house, going through the back door."
"I haven't thanked you for the last time, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have seen Zhou Gongzi, thank you, but I don't know what to call it?"
"The girl is polite, my name is Dongming Sadu, the girl can call me Dongming."
"Oh, yes, I heard Zhou Gongzi mention it last time, but I didn't expect it to be you, how is your name different from others? Everyone else has a name and a surname, as well as words, your name is Dongming Sadu? It doesn't sound like a person from the Central Plains. ”
"The girl is right, I am indeed not from the Central Plains."
"And where are you from?"
"I'm Haoren."
"Haoren? Where are the people of the Hao? How come I've never heard of it? ”
"Miss Liu, when you arrive, you can go in by yourself, as for my hometown, the next time I meet, I will talk to the girl."
"Ah, it's coming soon?" Liu Wu hurriedly thanked him, and Dong Mingsa smiled in return, turned around and left.
Liu Wu looked at Dongming Sadu's walking posture and said to himself: "Sure enough, he is not a natural cripple. ”
Liu Wu walked in, and the doorman led Liu Wu to the study, but it was not Zhou Chang's bedroom. When the catkins pushed the door in, they saw that the scrolls were thrown everywhere, and they didn't know if they had been robbed or what.
"Gongzi Zhou? Are you there? Liu Fu stood at the door and asked, but when he saw that no one answered, he opened his mouth and asked, "Zhou Gongzi?" Are you there? ”
Liu Fu waited for a moment and did not respond, and when he was about to leave, the book on the ground was suddenly lifted, and a hand stretched out from it, his five fingers were spread, and then he shook his fist, and a voice came out slowly, "Which Yake came to the door, but blocked me in the study, so calculated." ”
Liu Wu stopped, turned around and asked, "Is it Gongzi Zhou?" ”
The person under the book sat up all of a sudden, got up and straightened his clothes with catkins on his back, then turned around, saluted the catkins and said: "It turned out that Miss Liu was visiting, it was rude, this doorman is really eyeless, how did he bring the girl here!" ”
"Zhou Gongzi, don't blame him, I asked him to bring me here."
"Miss Liu came to fly this time, was there anything missing there?"
"No, Meng Zhao has something to discuss with Gongzi Zhou, I just came over to convey it for him."
"Oh? Woke up while flying? That's right, I haven't been out for a few days, so please stay less, and I'll go out with you when I wash up. ”
Liu Wu was taken to the living room to rest, she looked in the room, and saw that there were some calligraphy and paintings on it, these words were very beautifully written, and each pen style was unique, but for a while she couldn't see what kind of body it was, and couldn't help but say to herself: "What kind of calligraphy is this, it is written so vividly!" ”
"This is Shi Yiguan's eight-point book."
The catkins were startled and hurriedly looked back to see who was watching!
