Chapter 3: Wandering in the Village
Yun Siyue held the hilt of the sword tightly, obviously trembling a little by the scene in front of her, why did the matter between adults have to involve children? Why has it been four months, everyone thought that the ghost snake guard was dead, but he chose to come out at this time to intercept and kill them, causing the young son to suffer, and the life and death of the two people are also unknown, at this moment Yun Siyue was anxious, and used light skills to walk on the bank of the Luoshui River like flying on the ground, begging to be able to find the traces of the three people, Yun Xingyan did not have as much ability as her, so she had to go to transfer troops, even if there was the slightest hope, the two of them were never willing to miss it.
So I searched for an afternoon, everyone found nothing, such a big movement on the bank of the Luo River naturally reached the ears of Emperor Wu, in the Qianyang Palace, Long Junxian reported all the affairs outside the palace to 1510, and Emperor Wu listened to it and asked with concern: "The emperor and grandson of ...... me"
Long Junxian: "Marquis Xuanping has sent someone to look for it, but there is still no news about it!" ”
"Hey, everyone envies the brocade clothes and food of the emperor's house, but who can predict the hidden murderous motives here? Do you know who did it? ”
"According to Xuanpinghou, it is said that it is the old ministry of the great prince, claiming to be revenge for the Lord"
"That's ......"
Emperor Wu thought for a while and smiled: "Then do you believe it?" ”
Long Junxian shook his head and said: "If they take revenge, they don't have to wait until now, if Xuanping Marquis wanted to attack the eldest prince before, he doesn't have to wait until the court meeting to be a gun for others, so this should be a means for someone to eradicate dissidents in the name of the eldest prince!" ”
"Not bad!"
Emperor Wu nodded, glanced at Long Junxian approvingly, and then said: "These rabbit cubs see that I am old, and they can't hold knives anymore, and they are all tiger and wolf, mutilating brothers, forming parties for personal gain, privately opening iron mines, and even wanting to kill the king!" What can't they do......"
Long Junxian said: "If this is the case, then should your subordinates go and remind Xuanping Hou?" ”
Emperor Yunwu shook his head and said: "It's not necessary, Yun Xingyan is talented and intelligent, it is impossible not to see this, it should be a test for him, I said that I would treat everyone fairly, I hope he will not disappoint me in this matter......"
"Then the general will retire first!"
Long Junxian walked out of the main hall after speaking, and Emperor Yunwu looked at the jade seal placed on the desk, picked it up and weighed it, and said to himself: "The first emperor died violently, I ascended the throne at the age of six and was in power at the age of twenty...... Danqing scrolls, the road is not endless, the years are fleeting, the bright moon is reunited, I don't know what year and night......"
At night, located on a shoal in the lower reaches of the Luo River, Xu Crazy woke up slowly, the severe pain made his already weak body more unbearable, the wine pot was still there, poured two mouthfuls into his mouth to go to the cold, and saw about ten steps in the distance, Chu Xiangling and Xiao Shizi were lying not far away, Xu Mad was overjoyed, and immediately went over to check the condition of the two, Shizi was just asleep, but Chu Xiangling's forehead was bruised, although the wound had long been scabbed, but the half of his face was bloody, which made people feel shocked, but fortunately, there was still breathing, There should be help, Xu Mad first used the silver needle he carried with him to prick several of her acupuncture points to dissolve her bruises, and then picked up the wine jug and poured two sips in her mouth, only to see Chu Xiangling suddenly began to cough, and then woke up and saw Xu Mad holding himself and wanted to push him away, but the severe pain and the silver needle on her head made her give up this idea temporarily......
"What about the son?" Books.com
Seeing Chu Xiangling's weak question, Xu Crazy replied: "You protected him very well, but he just fell asleep, but we have to continue to stay here, I'm afraid that the prince will not be able to stand the cold, can you leave now?" Let's find a place to make do for the night! ”
"Hmm!"
So Xu Madness picked up Yun Guimeng, put Chu Xiangling's arm on his shoulder, and supported each other into the distance, the nearby dense forests are thick, and there will be caves wherever the people in the rivers and lakes go as the words say, besides, this early spring is the season when animals are rampant, and I saw a lot of animals such as weasel foxes along the way, pointing to the flash of light in the eyes of the fox in the distance, Xu Madness asked jokingly: "Aren't you afraid?" ”
Chu Xiangling said very contrivedly: "Oh, I'm so scared, okay?" You're still so bored at this point! The two walked like this for a while, and then found a more leeward place, with the dry wood collected along the way to light the fire, fortunately the sealing measures of the fire fold are still passable, otherwise the two of them may freeze to death in this wilderness, the second day is not yet dawn, the three of them are almost the same, they want to get out of this dense forest, now the water and rice have not entered overnight, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that I will starve to death in this wilderness, a scholar, a proprietress of an intelligence organization, a three-year-old son, No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person who can survive in the wild, so the three of them gritted their teeth and walked for a while, and simply met a family, a simple courtyard surrounded by several earthen walls, a courtyard gate with a wooden fence, there is only one hut inside, and a few animal skins are hung on the courtyard wall outside, and there are bursts of green smoke rising out of the chimney, and the three of them saw that there was hope for salvation, so they stepped forward to call the door, and after a while, they saw a lame old man swaying out of the house to open the door for him, and said while walking: "Come on, don't knock, The door is not strong, you are breaking it for me, who are you......"
Xu Mad stepped forward and said: "Old man, we are tourists, separated from our families and left in the wilderness, water and rice did not enter the night, I want to beg for a bowl of hot rice here in the old man's house, the child has been frozen for a day, please make it convenient, we will have a heavy thanks!" ”
The old man nodded and said, "Then you guys come in, there is millet porridge just cooked in the pot, a few guests can come in for the time being!" Although the three of them were embarrassed, it was not difficult to see from their clothes that these three people were either rich or expensive, so the old man invited the three of them into the house, but the old man didn't dare to look at Chu Xiangling from beginning to end, but Chu Xiangling always felt that the old man was a little familiar......
After entering the house, the three of them looked for a place to sit down, Yun Guimeng hugged Chu Xiangling and said coquettishly: "Auntie, I'm cold ......"
Chu Xiangling hurriedly said, "Old man, can you cook a bowl of ginger soup for the child to get rid of the cold?" ”
"The stove is there, do it yourself!"
The old man limped to the kang, wiped the dagger, and sorted out the equipment needed to go out hunting today, Chu Xiangling was just about to get up when he was stopped by Xu Mad and said, "You rest, I'll come!" ”
So seeing Xu Mad tinkering in front of the stove, Chu Xiangling began to talk to the old man and asked, "Is there anyone else in the old man's house?" ”
The old man shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm just an old bachelor, otherwise I wouldn't be hunting in this deep mountain and old forest, right?" The old man used Luoyang official dialect, and Chu Xiangling asked again: "But look at the old man, you don't look like a local, you feel ...... You look like a Jinling person."
The old man coughed twice and said, "Where is Jinling?" I don't know what you're talking about, my daughter is dead, the village chief told me about my daughter-in-law, but I think I'm too poor, I haven't lived a few years and I'm running away, I can't earn a few dollars hunting every day, and I broke my leg a few years ago, hey, this day is just so good wow, if you don't hurry up, I'll die......"
Xu Yan had already boiled the ginger soup at this time, and asked Chu Xiangling to feed the prince to serve it, and then said: "Old man, Xiaosheng roughly knows some Qihuang techniques, or ...... I'll help you take a look? Xu Mad was moved by compassion when he heard the old man say so pitiful, but the old man didn't understand Shu Dao: "What are you talking about? What does Qi Huang do? ”
"Forehead ......"
Xu Mad was stunned, Chu Xiangling raised his forehead and said, "Xu Mad can you not use such literary words?" The old man is old and has lived here for a long time, so he naturally doesn't know what you are talking about" Then Chu Xiangling looked at the old man again and said: "Uncle, he means that he is a langzhong, he can cure diseases, and he will show you if there is a cure for your legs." ”
