Chapter 159: The Legend of the Flying Pigeon [Third Update]
Beijing, Zhangfu.
General Su strode straight to a mansion, and the little guy behind him couldn't keep up with his pace.
Pushing the door in, Zhang Fuling was standing on one side of the room, with a sad face on his face.
On the bed, two people were busy, and soon a basin full of blood was brought out, and after a while, a pile of tattered armor was brought out.
General Su stretched out his hand to grab the little guy, glared at him and said sharply:
"This armor can't be thrown away, and it doesn't need to be brushed, so just find a furoshiki and wrap it, and when you interrogate the case later, it's all evidence."
The little guy was so frightened that he hurriedly looked at Zhang Fuling, and Zhang Fuling nodded at him.
"Do as General Su says."
The little guy ran away in a puff of smoke, and General Su had already walked up to Zhang Fuling and asked with concern:
"What's the matter, your guard chief Zhang Wanxun hasn't woken up yet?"
Zhang Fuling sighed and saluted General Su.
"General, don't blame the inconsiderate greeting, after Zhang Mou's return to His Majesty, he just rushed back, and it has been a few hours, and this Zhang Wanxun still hasn't woken up."
General Su was a little annoyed, "Isn't it the imperial doctor who was invited?" Didn't you stitch him up? ”
Zhang Fuling shook his head slightly, "Yes, it can't be stitched up for the time being, there is a fragment of the tip of the sword, stuck in Zhang Wanxun's chest, but this thing can't be taken out, and the wounds that have been tossed for a long time have been disposed of, but this one can't be stitched." ”
General Su paced back and forth, his armor rattling with his movements, and as he walked, General Su paused and did not move.
Zhang Fuling's gaze also fell on General Su, who raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Zhang Wanxun.
"If this is in Qingping County, I think Zhou Heng will definitely be able to save him."
Zhang Fuling also nodded immediately, "I also thought of this just now, but the capital is so far away from that Qingping County, we escorted the key criminals all the way for ten days, if we send someone to send a message at this time, it will take at least twenty days to come and go, I am afraid that Zhang Wanxun will not be able to wait for ......."
General Su waved his hand, "Do you know, how did I get the news and go to answer you?" ”
Zhang Fuling recalled for a moment and tilted his head to look at General Su.
"At that time, General Su said, King Ning sent a message, let you come to answer me, it doesn't seem to say who sent the news, isn't it a post station?"
General Su shook his head, took out a small bamboo tube the length of a finger from his arms, opened the bamboo tube, and poured out a small note, which was no longer than the length of his palm, and there were fine small characters on it.
Immediately, General Su handed over a magnifying glass, this thing was asked for by Zhu Yunmo, he was older, and he couldn't see the handwriting in the near distance clearly, especially such small characters, which was even more laborious.
Zhang Fuling took the magnifying glass, followed the example of General Su just now, raised it to look at the note, and suddenly the handwriting became larger.
It is written, the time of Zhang Fuling's departure, who are the personnel with him, guess what will happen, let him receive the news, send troops to rescue as soon as possible, if he can't mobilize the generals, he will go to Ning Wangfu to mobilize, and the time of payment is the seventh day of October.
Zhang Fuling grabbed the note vigorously after reading it, but he didn't expect that this prince who only had one side of the fate would give such detailed instructions for his safety.
Judging from the date, this is issued on the seventh day of the first lunar month, that is, after a few days of thinking or discovering some clues, this judgment was made.
But when General Su rescued, it was the ninth day of the first month, how could there be such a fast way to transmit, and it was such a small bamboo tube.
Thinking of the army, Zhang Fuling was stunned, could it be ......
"Is it a flying pigeon?"
General Su raised his head and laughed, "Or you scholars are smart, guess the right thing, yes, it is the flying pigeon to pass the book, when the old man left, he left a few carrier pigeons raised since childhood, that thing is smart, it only took one day, I flew from Qingping County to the capital, and directly found my house in the capital." ”
"One day?"
Zhang Fuling reached out and grabbed General Su's arm, and his face could not hide his excitement.
"General Su, then let's pass the book to Zhou Hengfeige now, and let him come to Beijing to consult Zhang Wan for treatment?"
General Su thought about it, don't look at him as a big boss, why Zhang Fuling was assassinated, he still knows the Tao here, and raised his eyes to look at Zhang Fuling with a bright eye.
"It's not difficult for Zhou Heng to come for diagnosis and treatment, he is the person who was implicated in this case, this journey is far away, Lord Zhang is protected by many guards, and he almost can't reach the capital, isn't he going to be alone in the wilderness?"
Zhang Fuling wilted in an instant, General Su was right, he really didn't think it through, but Zhang Wanxun wanted to be treated, so he couldn't look at him and ignore him?
"General Su, according to what you said, what can I do now to save Zhang Wanxun?"
General Su rolled his eyes, dragged Zhang Fuling out of the room, and stood under the tree in the courtyard, which was empty, and the people around him were far away, but it was safer.
"Lord Zhang, you are concerned about the chaos now, in fact, there are two ways to solve the current crisis, the first way, take a fast boat from the capital, go straight to Qingping County, I remember that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through Jining, and it takes only half a day to transfer to the car in Jining, and the speed of this road is twice as fast as you take the carriage, and you can get there in five or six days."
General Su glanced at Zhang Fuling and saw that he was not interested in this suggestion, and then continued:
"The second method is to ask King Ning to return to Beijing and help escort the remaining witnesses, so that you need to go to the fold, please ask Your Majesty to send Jining Wei to be responsible for protection, but this plan can be regarded as involving King Ning, who has always been indisputable with the world, and the fastest speed of this route will not be able to reach the capital in half a month."
Zhang Fuling thought about it carefully, from handing over the excerpt to ordering the dispatch of the garrison of the guard, and then protecting the prince and Zhou Heng into Beijing, half a month is a conservative estimate.
Zhang Fuling raised his eyes and looked indoors, Zhang Wanxun was injured in thirty-two knives in his body in order to save himself, he must not give up the treatment of him, it seems a little unrealistic to ask Zhou Heng to enter Beijing, or to find a clipper to set off, this is the most effective way.
After making up his mind, Zhang Fuling looked at General Su, clenched his fists and said:
"It seems that inviting Zhou Heng to enter Beijing is really delaying time, I will go to the fold now, and ask Your Majesty to allow the imperial doctor to follow Zhang Wanxun south and go to Qingping County for diagnosis and treatment, but I don't know where to find this fast boat?"
General Su waved his hand, "Go to the fold, I'll find you a guarantee that you can get on the boat tomorrow, and you have to prepare quickly." ”
Zhang Fuling hurriedly bowed down, and he didn't know how to say the words of thanks, he knew that General Su could understand his mood at the moment, so he spared no effort to come over to help, these are all people who have experienced life and death, Zhang Fuling is no longer polite, and hurriedly walked towards the room.
Just when the imperial doctor came out, he saw Zhang Fuling coming in and hurriedly gave a salute, saying:
"My lord, the tip of the sword is stuck in the crack of the bone, and it seems to have punctured his lungs, and blood coughs up from time to time, but we have been rummaging for an hour and have not found the tip of the knife, and now I want to hear the opinions of adults, whether to take it out or treat it conservatively, and leave the tip of the sword in the lungs temporarily."
Zhang Fuling raised his hand and said, "Don't worry about the tip of the sword first, I want you to use whatever method you use to ensure Zhang Wanxun's life for ten days, is there a problem?" ”
The imperial doctor raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Fuling, seemed to understand something, thought for a while, and said:
"If you don't take it out, it's still feasible to delay the patient for ten days, but if the tip of this sword remains in the body for a long time, sooner or later it will be life-threatening."
Zhang Fuling shook his head, "You can be treated here, remember what you said, if you can't save ten days, you have also heard of the reputation of this official, I will definitely check all your ancestors for generations to ensure that your family will not live in peace, but you understand." ”
The imperial doctor was so frightened that his legs were weak, and the whole person was piled on the ground.
"Don't worry, my lord, even if I die, I can save Commander Zhang's life in the past ten days."
Zhang Fuling turned around and walked out of the room, went straight to the gate, and beckoned someone to carry out the box containing the Book of All People, as well as all the accounts and diagnosis and treatment cards of Qingping County's disaster relief, and send them to the palace with him.
General Su stood behind and watched, nodding slightly.
"I like this temper, it's an upright guy, it looks like I'm going to write a letter to the prince and that stinky boy, they have to be prepared."
