CHAPTER XVII
Xin Yao and Xiaoxue hid far behind the tree, looking at the Yuezhou City Gate, the inventory was very strict, one person and another, regardless of men and women, everyone had to compare the portrait, and look at the back of the neck.
Xiaoxue's ears are very smart, and she can hear the sound of talking at the city gate from a distance, and said to Xin Yao: "If you have a mole on your face, you have to see if it's true or not, this city guard is too strict." ”
Xin Yao knew in her heart that she was in trouble in Zhaocheng last time, and now the investigation is so tight, but how can it be good, is it really impossible to get by?
"Alas!" Xin Yao sighed and said, "It's over, if I can't get by, I might as well die." ”
"Little brother, don't be discouraged, if you die, what will I do!" Xiaoxue looked at Xin Yao's depressed appearance and was also very anxious.
At this time, an old man came out of the city gate, talking to the city guard. Xiaobai hurriedly pricked up his ears.
Shoucheng asked the old man, "I heard that Lord Thorn Shi has been sick recently, how is it now?" Okay, no? ”
Listen to the old man say, "Alas! My lord has been sick for a month, Mr. Xu rushed back a few days ago, and he was going to arrive today, the old slave hurried out of the city to pick him up, and the old lady was so anxious that she hadn't eaten well for a few days, and the fire was full of blisters. ”
The defender asked, "Didn't you invite Dr. Zhou?" That's the best famous doctor in ten miles and eight towns. ”
"Please, please, I came here early this morning, and I prescribed a prescription, saying that it was still two flavors of medicine, and I went back to find a way to get it, Dr. Zhou's prescription still works."
Xiao Xue almost laughed when she heard this: "Little brother, don't worry, there is a way." ”
"What's the solution?" Xin Yao asked.
"Let's go, stay away." Xiaoxue pulled Xin Yao up, and the two walked back for a long distance until they couldn't see the city gate.
Xiaoxue pulled Xin Yao to sit down and said to Xin Yao: "Brother, I just heard what the old man at the city gate said. ”
Xin Yao was shocked: "So far away, how did you hear it?" ”
Xiaoxue blinked: "I was born with very smart ears, and I can hear from any distance." ”
Xin Yao said: "I didn't think you still had this function, heh, what did you hear?" Let's hear it. ”
"I heard the old man say: His old man is sick, and his son-in-law is rushing back, and he will arrive today, and he will go out of the city to pick him up."
"So what, we can't pretend to be his son-in-law, right? The old man must know his son-in-law. ”
"Brother, listen to me first!"

"Okay, you say."
"The old man said that there was a doctor Zhou who gave his master two kinds of medicine in his prescription, and Dr. Zhou went back to find a way, so we pretended to go out of the city to collect medicine. Then ......"
Xin Yao answered, "Then stop the carriage of the boy and let him take it into the city......"
Xiaoxue clapped her hands: "Yes, my brother is still smart." ”
"Then we have to hurry, otherwise when the boy's carriage arrives, we will be killed before we are ready."
The two discussed what to do, and hurried to act, just as there were peasants out of the city on the road, carrying baskets, Xin Yao took out the silver and bought two, and Xiaoxue carried one by one, Xiaoxue knew the herbs, and put some in the box on the ground, and the two came out of the field and stood on the side of the road, waiting to see the carriage that looked like the son who returned to the city.
Xin Yao said: "He is in a hurry to come back, the carriage must be in a hurry, and when he encounters such a carriage, he will go up and test it." ”
"Okay." Xiaoxue replied.
There are not many separate carriages on the official road outside the city, many of them are convoys pulling goods, and the carriages sandwiched in the middle are also very slow, so they are easier to identify.
After waiting for half an hour or so, a carriage came in a hurry in the distance.
Xin Yao pulled up Xiaoxue: "It looks like this is it." ”
The two stood in the middle and stopped the carriage.
The coachman took hold of the reins and cried, "What are you doing?" ”
Xin Yao asked, "May I ask if it is the assassin Xu Dagongzi?" ”
The person in the car replied, "It's me, what's the matter?" ”
Xin Yao: "Oh, there is something, we are Dr. Zhou's people, because there are two kinds of medicine in the prescription prescribed to Master Xu, Dr. Zhou sent us out of the city to collect medicine for Lord Xu, and now it has been picked, I want to borrow your car to go back to the city, it will be faster, please ask if Gongzi can take a ride." ”
When Xu Gongzi heard that it was his father's medicine, he opened the curtain and saw Xin Yao and the two of them wearing coarse cloth clothes and carrying a basket full of herbs, so he hurriedly said, "Come up, come up." Xin Yao pulled Xiaoxue into the car, took off the back basket, and sat in.
Xin Yao: "Thank you, Gongzi Xu, because I'm in a hurry, I really bothered Gongzi." ”
"It's okay, take the herbs back early, boil the medicine early, you are also for my father, my mother's letter mentions Dr. Zhou, and the medical skills are superb."
"Childe has won the prize."
As he was talking, he arrived at the gate of the city, only to hear the old man outside shouting: "But it is the carriage of the eldest prince Xu." ”
The coachman replied, "Yes." ”
When Xu Gongzi heard this, he got up and opened the curtain and went out, seeing that it was his housekeeper Xu Fu, and said, "Fu Bo, you are here." ”
"Yes, Madame asked me to pick up my son, now it's okay, the eldest son comes back, and the master's illness can be half cured." Fu Bo bowed to the eldest prince, which was regarded as a courtesy.
The defender of the city will come out and see that it is the eldest son of the assassin family, and he clenched his fists and said, "Xu Gongzi, I heard that the assassin is sick, Xu Gongzi will not check here, they are all their own people, Xu Gongzi go back quickly, and I am also bothered to say hello to the assassin Shi for me." ”
"Definitely, thank you, Vice Wei." Xu Gongzi replied.
"Release." The defender shouted to his subordinates.
Xu Gongzi said to Fu Bo, "Fu Bo, come up and sit, let's go back together." ”
"Okay, okay." Fu Bo opened the curtain and came up, and when he saw that there were still two people sitting inside, he pointed: "Who are these two?" ”
Xin Yao hurriedly pulled Xiaoxue up to make way for Fu Bo and said, "Fu Bo, sit down first." ”
By the time Fauber slowly sat down, the car had already entered the city gate.
Xin Yao said: "We are looking for medicine for Master Xu. ”
Fauber: "Oh, did you find it?" ”
Xin Yao: "I found it, I have to take it back and process it." ”
"That's good, Childe, why don't you take them to Dr. Zhou first?" Fu Bo said to Xu Gongzi.
Xu Gongzi nodded: "Okay, send them first." ”
When Xin Yao heard this, she hurriedly said, "No, no, Xu Gongzi just came back, so let's hurry back to the house and let the master see him, it's better than medicine." ”
Fu Bo thought about what he said for a while, and the old man was not in a good mood when he saw Childe, "It's okay, you're right, Childe, let's go back to the house first." He turned his head and said to Xin Yao and the others: "Then you should get off at the intersection in front." ”
"Okay, okay, when the medicine is ready, it will be sent to the house immediately." Xin Yao said hurriedly.
Xin Yao and the two got out of the car at the intersection, and watching Xu Gongzi's carriage leave, Xiaoxue patted her chest: "
I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak, for fear of saying something wrong. ”
Xin Yao smiled: "You have so many ghost ideas, and you're still afraid of this!" ”
Xiaoxue hadn't entered the city, she looked around curiously, Xin Yao grabbed her: "We can't go shopping today, we have to hurry out of the city, if Xu Gongzi goes back and finds out that there is fraud and chases us, we won't be able to leave." ”
Xiaoxue nodded obediently, and the two inquired about the location of the West Gate Pass, and did not dare to delay, so they walked quickly towards the West Gate.
