Chapter 3: Early Cold (Part 3)

I slept soundly.

When the light appeared in front of him again, Lei Wanchun struggled to turn his head to look around, but found himself lying on a very luxurious big bed, covered with a thin but extremely warm brocade quilt. At the foot of the bed, a woman in snow-white clothes was sleeping soundly with her arms under her forehead, her dark hair falling from her shoulders to her kneeling heels.

"How could I sleep here?" He was taken aback, rolled over and tried to sit up. There was a sudden sharp pain in the shoulder socket, and the strength up and down the body was immediately drained.

"Are you awake?" Yang Yuyao, who was asleep, was awakened by the violent shaking of the bed, raised her face, and her tired eyes were full of joy that could not be concealed. "Don't move, that arrow on your shoulder is fed with poison, and it took the mad monk more than an hour to clean up the wound!"

"Mad monk?" Lei Wanchun frowned, not remembering that he had ever known such a person. The wound on his shoulder was in sharp pain, followed by a tingling that made him believe that Yang Yuyao had not deceived him. But why did he run back to Mrs. Qiuguo's house again? Did the pursuers discover their identities? Everything was like a dream, and the chaos didn't make any sense at all.

"The master of the Temple of Mercy and Grace is proficient in the art of Qihuang and often treats people for free. You were injured last night, and there was no Lang Zhong in my house who was good at dealing with wounds, so I sent someone to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to invite Master Nianzhi. Because he lives very close to me, and he always likes to say things that don't look for margins to cheat me out of money, so everyone calls him a crazy monk. Seeing that Lei Wanchun's eyes were full of confusion, Yang Yuyao smiled and explained in a low voice. But although others are insane, the means of curing diseases are really good. The poison that my family was helpless with, he dealt with it in three or two strokes. ”

With a smile, her tired face suddenly became more charming. Lei Wanchun saw that her eyes were bloodshot, and guessed that she must not have closed her eyes in the middle of the night. Grinning, he said very apologetically, "Now, really, really troublesome for you." Alas, I can't do anything else, but I have the ability to make trouble......."

"What are you talking about, Brother Lei!" Yang Yuyao glared at him lightly, stretched out her hand to cover his lips, "Big brother once saved me once, I will save big brother again this time, won't it be smoothed?" What's the trouble? Besides, if you hadn't drunk too much at my house last night, I guess you wouldn't have been plotted by others halfway! ”

"The people who shocked your car that day were all my friends. I stretched out my hand to restrain the startled horse, it should be! Lei Wanchun shook his head and interrupted in a low voice. He wanted to tell the other party that he was not intercepted and killed on the road last night, but visited Xue's house at night, and accidentally saw a huge secret, so he was injured by the servants of Wannian County with poisoned arrows. But for a while, I didn't know where to start, and under hesitation, my tongue became more and more clumsy.

Yang Yuyao stood up with a smile like a wife who knew cold and warmth, "If the eldest brother feels that he can't go, it's good to find another opportunity to save me in the future!" Anyway, you may not be able to leave the capital for a while. You're hungry, I'll order someone to bring you a bowl of chicken soup!" ”

"Wait!" Seeing that Yang Yuyao's figure was about to walk to the door of the house, Lei Wanchun shouted anxiously, "You listen to me finish speaking." I accidentally got into a big problem last night. I didn't run to you on purpose, I was just groggy ....... at the time. ”

"It's okay!" Yang Yuyao stopped, smiled and turned around, "I've seen a lot of troublesome things." Who can see you running to my house, who is blind in the dark? Besides, there are probably not many people in Beijing who dare to come to my house to arrest people! ”

The more she said this, the more uneasy Lei Wanchun felt in her heart. He remembered that after he jumped off the wall last night, he noticed that the arrow had been smeared with poison. So he struggled to get on his mount, grabbed the silver medal in his hand and ran. At that time, I only thought that the other party's power was too big to lead the disaster to Zhang Xun, and I couldn't let the little boy Wang Xun get involved again. Unexpectedly, he fled halfway and lost consciousness in a drowsy state.

He couldn't remember the rest. But since I have thought about not causing trouble to Zhang Xun and Wang Xun, I am afraid that the only person who can fight with the gang of people who chase and kill him is Mrs. Qiuguo. Even if he didn't sincerely lead the troubled waters to Mrs. Qiu's mansion, I am afraid that similar thoughts were moved in my heart at that time. Otherwise, the black horse that has the same heart as the master will not run to Yang Yuyao's mansion.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more ashamed. Struggling to stand up half of his body, he said with a wry smile: "You better listen to me!" I don't know how much trouble I'm getting into this time. I have an acquaintance, the little guy who startled your carriage that day. The one called Yuwen Zida. He didn't know which immortal he offended recently, and he was arrested and put in the Wanneng County prison in a daze. Then because the answer did not conform to the meaning of the Wannian County Order, he was beaten very badly. On my way back last night, I thought that Xue Rongguang, the head catcher of Wanneng County, might know some hidden secrets, so I temporarily prepared to visit him at his house. Unexpectedly, there was a group of people in his mansion who were gathering, as if they were plotting something shady. I was curious, so I couldn't help but lie on the roof and listen a few more times. As a result, before I could hear the words clearly, I was discovered by the other party! ”

"And then they'll shoot you with poisoned arrows?" Yang Yuyao is also a person who has experienced some ups and downs, and only half of what she said is done, she slowly walked back and knelt beside Lei Wanchun. "No wonder early this morning, the officials of Wanneng County stirred up the entire Chang'an City like they had lost their ancestors, but they refused to say what they were looking for. It turns out that the roots are here! Have you ever seen who are in the house? ”

Lei Wanchun thought about it and recalled in a low voice, not noticing that Yang Yuyao seemed to be another person in her body at the moment, "There are fifty or sixty servants, and there are many helpers and gangsters." The person in charge is not Xue Rongguang, but a fifth-grade official, with a long face, a short beard under his chin, and he looks like he is in his early forties. ”

"Zheng Wupin, that should at least be a Langzhong! Long face and short beard, how tall is it? Fat or not? Yang Yuyao continued to ask in a low voice, her fingers flexed and stretched, and the sunlight shining through the window, her nails looked extremely slender and sharp.

"Slightly chubby, medium height, about seven feet three inches, and the corners of his eyes are a little drooping." Lei Wanchun paused, looked at Yang Yuyao's sharp fingers, and responded in a low voice.

He found that the other party had changed back to the lady of the kingdom. There are all kinds of styles, but there is a faint ruthlessness in the depths of the soul. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do. Dreams are meant to wake up, no matter how heavy you sleep or how warm your dreams are.

Finding that Lei Wanchun was looking at him, Mrs. Qiuguo's face turned unnaturally red. smiled and explained softly, "If the eldest brother doesn't want to tell me, you can not say it." My little sister will never force you! ”

"I'm afraid the sooner you know the situation, the better!" Lei Wanchun sighed lightly and added in a low voice, "That five-grade supervisor was very ruthless, and in less than half a column of incense, I saw that he ordered someone to suffocate two lazy officials to death with mulberry paper. Immediately after, the other two were beaten half to death! ”

"That five-rank official should be Wang Kun, he is the younger brother of Jingzhao Yin Wang Jie. Both brothers are notoriously ruthless. Obviously, Mrs. Qiu Guo was not curious about the method of smothering people with mulberry bark, so she smiled and analyzed in a low voice, "Xue Rongguang is Wang Jie's henchman, and the servants and helpers you see are probably all lackeys raised by the Wang family." It's a good thing that you ran to my house yesterday, otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to hide anywhere else! ”

"I, I didn't mean to run here!" Just like being exposed to his face by someone who lied, Lei Wanchun blushed when he got there.

"The eldest brother can think of the little sister at a critical moment, and the little sister is too late to be happy!" Mrs. Qiu Guo obviously misunderstood Lei Wanchun's words, smiled, and comforted softly. "You can rest assured that you are recuperating at my house, I sent someone to visit secretly yesterday, and no one nearby should have seen you flee into my house. Even if you find out, don't be afraid. What they are plotting will surely not see the light of day. So no matter how much they heard, it had already scared them out at this moment. ”

"Hmph, the one who dares to hurt me!" She gritted her teeth and frowned, "They're really tired of living." The eldest brother is worried that he won't be able to catch them. Didn't they send it to the door themselves? ”

'yes, I almost forgot that you were Yang Guozhong's sister. Lei Wanchun smiled and thought silently in his heart. I've never been a good strategist, but I fled in a daze last night, but I escaped in the right place. Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu were evenly matched. And Jingzhao Yin Wang Ji is precisely Li Linfu's henchman. He inadvertently overheard the conspiracy of Wang Jie's brother Wang Kun, and then fled to Mrs. Qiu's house, which is equivalent to sending the handle of the Wang brothers directly to Yang Guozhong.

So, it doesn't matter how much I heard or what I heard last night. Even who you are, dead or alive, has nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as Yang Guozhong hinted that the person who infiltrated Xue's house last night was assigned by him, it was enough to force the Wang brothers not to dare to act rashly. As soon as the Wang brothers flinched, it was equivalent to cutting off one of Li Linfu's arms. Regardless of whether he won or lost the previous battle, after laying down these few wonderful pieces, the situation of the Jingshi has been completely tilted towards Yang Guozhong.

It's just that becoming a chess piece is definitely not what I want. This vicious battle in Jingshi had nothing to do with him, whether it was Yang Guozhong or Li Linfu, they were all raccoon dogs in their eyes. But I accidentally got involved, and I fell deeper and deeper, deeper and deeper, and everything was out of my control.

Thinking of this, Lei Wanchun sat up from the bed with difficulty, ignoring the dizzying pain in his shoulder, and said with a smile: "When I hear you say this, I am relieved." I didn't return all night, and at this moment, Lord Zhang must be worried about my safety. I need to go back to him quickly, lest he look for me everywhere!" ”

With that, he lifted his boot with one hand and bent down to try to put it on his foot. Mrs. Qiu Guo was furrowed, and the smile on her face slowly solidified. "If the eldest brother doesn't like it, I can not tell you what you said today, my brother!" As if pleading, she squatted down and reached out to hold the back of Lei Wanchun's hand.

Lei Wanchun's arm immediately trembled, and then stiffly let her hold it, "You better inform Lord Yang as soon as possible." The surname Wang is ruthless, he doesn't dare to break into your mansion during the day, and he secretly sends someone to touch you at night, and you can't guard against it. I'm not blaming you, I really have to go back! ”

Mrs. Yu Guo sighed and wanted to explain a few more words, but finally said nothing. just stood up slowly, exited the door, and called in a few little maids to serve Lei Wanchun to change clothes and put on boots.

The clothes on his body are all freshly changed, including underwear. Even if Lei Wanchun reacted slowly, he found that the texture of the clothes was very different from what he was wearing. It is a Tianzhu cotton cloth that has only become popular in Beijing in recent years, which is much thinner and softer than kudzu cloth and linen, and does not have the unique coldness of silk. This set of intimate clothing alone is enough for him to spend all the year's income. Of course, there is no exception to returning to the old business to rob the rich and help the poor.

The handmaidens were very slow in their hands and feet, and they stopped several times to peek at Mrs. Qiu's face. However, no matter how slow it is, there is a time when the clothes will run out. Mrs. Qiu Guo refused to say more, and they could only help Lei Wanchun put on the outermost coat, take the sword she was wearing, and tie it around her waist.

"This!" Lei Wanchun grabbed the saber with one hand, slowly untied it, and handed it to Mrs. Yu Guo with a smile, "I'll give it to you." It is also made by a famous artist, and it is very sharp. In the future, if you need my help, wherever I am, you call someone to come with a sword, and I will definitely rush there!" ”

"Hmm!" Mrs. Qiu Guo took the sword and clutched it in her hand. Because of the excessive force, all five fingers suddenly lost their blood. It hurts a little, I haven't hurt this in years. But she knew she couldn't keep it. Last night's obsession and madness were just a dream, and when I woke up, the days had to go on. He is Lei Wanchun, and he is Mrs. Qiuguo.

Seeing the other party's silent appearance, Lei Wanchun's heart has been numb. He wanted to say a few words to comfort him, or tell Yang Yuyao that in his eyes, she was a very good woman. But I found that all the words were either too pale or too easy to misunderstand.

Let's not say more, Lei Wanchun nodded, said goodbye to the master with a smile, and strode out. Walk through the road covered with maple leaves, walk through the zigzag corridor, walk through the second gate, and walk through the wall. Yang Yuyao silently followed behind him, silently sending each other off, silently watching him climb onto the horse's back with difficulty and release the reins.

"Be careful!" Finally, she opened her mouth and made an extremely low voice. Before I knew it, tears were already flowing all over my face.

"Be careful, too!" Lei Wanchun actually heard it, turned his head on horseback, and the room behind him was full of sunlight. "If there is something, send someone to me with a sword. Anything, anything. ”

With that, he knocked the horse's belly and galloped away along the street sprinkled with maple leaves.

The autumn wind rolls up the fallen leaves, blowing one after another, blocking people's vision. Chang'an, which is as beautiful as a dream, who is awake in and out of a dream?

Note 1: Before the Tang Dynasty, cotton was not a mainstream clothing item in China. Indian cotton was long and soft because of its velvet, so the cloth spun was regarded as a luxury at that time.
