Chapter 107: Chengdu Wu Lan
Zhao Ping'er said: "We are now in Sichuan and Shu, and when I was studying art in the Emei School, I heard the master chatting and said that there is a Tang Sect, which specializes in the study of hidden weapon poisons, which is very powerful. The disciples of the Tang Sect generally do not go out of the rivers and lakes, otherwise it will cause a bloody storm. The Tang Sect stipulated that disciples of the sect should not use poison outside in vain, so as not to cause public anger in the rivers and lakes and cause public anger. ”
Qu Ping thought for a moment and said, "This time he didn't commit public anger, but touched the scales!" ”
Zhao Ping'er was worried that Qu Ping was impulsive, and persuaded: "It's not sure if it was done by the Tang Sect now, if you act rashly, if you make a mistake, it will be difficult to stop." ”
Qu Ping said: "This is a two-day journey to Chengdu Mansion, let's go to Chengdu Mansion first. ”
Zhao Ping'er was worried: "Then what should I do, in case the emperor knows that I ......"
"If such a big thing happened, the emperor should naturally know. It's just that your identity is kept secret for the time being. Qu Ping said.
The envoy of Chengdu Mansion Road Jiedu is Wu Lan, and he is familiar with him, and it should not be difficult to use his manpower at that time, not to mention that he is still the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.
Wu Lan received Qu Ping, and when he heard Qu Ping talk about being attacked on the road, he was shocked, who ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dared to murder the prince of Yongguo and the county lord in his own territory? Except for Gao Mingchi, no one died or died that day, and no one else was spared. This matter must be investigated and severely punished.
"It must be investigated, and it must be severely punished!" Qu Ping said, "I will write a recital and hand it to the emperor, and I must personally verify the rest of the things!" ”
"If Lord Guogong has any orders, just say it, the lower officials will spare no effort!" Wu said.
"The travel route and time of the family sending team must have been leaked, and there are also people at the post station, there are also problems, don't let any of them go! wants to destroy the in-laws, and the biggest suspect is still from Dali. So, I guess it's an internal and external conspiracy! I don't need you to do anything for the time being, if necessary, please divide the troops and command with me! ”
"Guogong wants to send troops to Yunnan?"
"Not necessarily, but it's also a precaution!"
"Oh!" Wu Lan looked at the masked girl behind Qu Ping and asked, "Who is this?" ”
"My personal guard." Qu Ping said indifferently. Zhao Ping'er opened her eyes angrily behind her, fortunately, you didn't say the personal maid, otherwise I wouldn't have kicked you over on the spot!
Wu Lan seemed to understand the deep meaning: "Oh, oh! Got it, got it! Wu Lan thought to himself, Lord Guogong really pities the jade, His Royal Highness the county lord can't protect it, but his personal maid is very well protected, it's really close! Admire, admire!
"In addition, the Emei faction is the closest to here, please General Wu help me inform me, I have something to ask for." Qu Ping said. If it is done by the people of the rivers and lakes, it is indispensable to borrow the means of the rivers and lakes.
"Master Xuanqing of the Emei faction happened to come down the mountain to preach yesterday, and the wife of the lower official believes in Buddhism, and today she happens to be in the house to ask Master Xuanqing for the Tao!"
Zhao Ping'er was excited, it wouldn't be such a coincidence, I haven't seen Senior Sister Xuanqing for a long time, I don't know if the first person of the young generation in Emei will see through herself later.
It's really impossible to talk about people during the day, Qu Ping said: "Then quickly ask Master Xuanqing to come over and talk about it." ”
It didn't take long for Xuanqing to be invited over. When Xuanqing heard that it was Yongguo Gong Qu Ping, he was invited, so he didn't hesitate. Xuanqing entered the door, greeted everyone to each other, looked at Zhao Ping'er behind Qu Ping, looked at her fixedly for a few seconds, and saw Zhao Ping'er panicked. Xuanqing looked at her bare eyes, how could there be anyone she didn't know, people's eyes were the most hidden. There is a way to see through and not say it, and play with Zhao Ping'er by herself.
Qu Ping opened his remarks and said: "Master Xuanqing hasn't seen him for a year, and his skills have become more and more sophisticated. ”
"Lord Guogong has won the award, no one in the world knows your name as the supreme martial arts person, you are the hero that everyone admires in the martial arts." Xuanqing said.
Qu Ping laughed it off and said straight to the point: "Qu Mou's rash visit to Chengdu is really for a reason. A few days ago, I escorted His Royal Highness the county lord to Yunnan to get married, and was conspired by a group of unknown people, and almost all the troops were wiped out, and the county lord's whereabouts were unknown. ”
Xuan Qing glared at Zhao Ping'er faintly and asked, "Which county master is going to marry?" ”
Qu Ping replied: "The emperor asked for a secret about this matter, and I was also kept in the dark. Qu Ping motioned for Zhao Ping'er to take out the poison needle to show Xuan Qing, and said, "This is the hidden weapon that shot and injured Qu at that time, and there was poison on it. ””
Xuan Qing carefully looked at the hidden weapon: "From the poison needle alone, it is difficult to determine where it came from?" ”
"These poisonous needles are launched from a kind of container, and they can be fired into one or twenty poisonous needles in an instant." Qu Ping said.
"Could it be the rainstorm pear blossom of the Tang Gate!?" Wu said.
Qu Ping said: "General Wu knows? ”
Xuanqing affirmed: "It should be a rainstorm pear blossom, yes!" However, this kind of weapon rarely flows out of the rivers and lakes, and the Tang Sect also stipulates that its disciples are not allowed to take out a large number of people for use, unless it is a critical moment of survival. What's more, the needle is still dipped in poison. ”
Qu Ping thought for a while and said, "Obviously, someone doesn't want to keep a living mouth!" ”
"Guogong suspects that it was done by the Tang Sect?" Xuanqing said.
If this is the case, the Tang Gate is destined to disappear from the rivers and lakes.
"The forest is big, and it's normal to have one or two mouse droppings." Qu Ping said coldly.
Wu Xuan said: "What the Duke intends to do with it, let it be ordered!" ”
Qu Ping said: "Master Xuanqing, please help me in the name of the Martial Arts Association, order the surrounding martial arts sects and heroes of the rivers and lakes to rush to the foot of Mount Emei within seven days to meet, and those who come will be rewarded!" General Wu listened to the order, mobilized 20,000 elite soldiers, and sent Tang Gate with our troops! In addition, I will invite all the people from the post station where the incident occurred, I want to find out! ”
Wu Lan said: "Obey! ”
Master Xuanqing said: "The poor nun immediately returned to the Emei faction, and then sent out a hero sticker!" ”
"Thank you!" Qu Ping said.
At night, in the bedroom specially prepared by Wu Lan for Qu Ping, Qu Ping lay on the bed for a long time, and Zhao Ping'er next to him said furiously: "This Wu Lan is really true!" If it weren't for the revelation of the identity of the county lord, he would have been punished! It's obviously two people, why arrange a room? ”
Qu Ping smiled: "General Wu has a good intention, haha!" ”
"I'm playing your personal guard now, not your personal maid!"
"How can the guards have your good body as convex and backward." Qu Ping laughed.
"You're making fun of me, too!"
Qu Ping rolled over from the bed: "Okay, don't complain." You sleep here. ”
Zhao Ping'er was stunned and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Don't want me out? Well, then tonight the lonely man and widow ......"
Zhao Ping'er pushed Qu Ping to the door: "It's good to go, don't send it!" She slammed the door shut, opened it again, and said, "Stay safe!" There's really nowhere to sleep, and I don't mind you lying in the door. Then he closed the door again.
Qu Ping smiled helplessly, ready to go out for a casual walk. At night, there is little movement of the Wu Mansion, and occasionally a few are on duty. Qu Ping walked lightly in the garden and admired the strange flowers and trees of the rockery in the pavilion of the water pavilion, and under the faint moonlight, a figure suddenly climbed over the wall and went out of the house.
Qu Ping asked in his heart: "Who is sneaking around in Wu Mansion?" Qu Ping saw that there was no one left and right, and then climbed out of the wall. But after going out of the wall, the figure of the man was gone, and there was no trace of the left and right streets. "Was it discovered, or was the mystery man moving too fast and premeditated?" He thought to himself.
Qu Ping returned to the mansion, Wu Lan happened to be dancing the sword in the courtyard, Qu Ping walked over and said: "General Wu dances the sword late at night, can't he sleep?" ”
Wu Lan put away the sword and said, "Did you disturb the adults?" Xia Guan has a habit of practicing before going to bed and getting up early. There is a way to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, and I am afraid that my bones will be old by then, and I will not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of the court! ”
"General Wu is really a model of the times!" Qu Ping pulled up the family routine, "How many sons does General Wu have?" ”
Wu Lan smiled embarrassedly: "There will be dozens of sons, except for the fifth son who is exercising at his brother's place, the rest are local." Tomorrow, Japan will call the dogs to gather and meet the country. ”
"Haha, General Wu is in great health! You don't have to be so excited, and I didn't bring them gifts, haha! Do the sons all live in the house? ”
"There are four still living in the house."
"Oh, well, I'll have a good time tomorrow." Qu Ping said, "It's not too early, General Wu should rest early, farewell!" ”
On the morning of the second day, Zhao Ping'er got up and found that Qu Ping was really sleeping in the door, setting up a row of stools, and lying down wrapped in a quilt. She tiptoed closer, looking at Qu Ping's thick sword eyebrows and sharp double eyelids, and her heart couldn't help but flutter with the excitement of a girl.
Qu Ping opened his eyes, and Zhao Ping'er was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and Qu Ping said, "Are you going to eat me when you get so close?" ”
"Yes, it's going to eat you, who let you get in the way!"
At this time, the sun was on the willow tops, and Wu Ling sent people to invite Qu Ping, and the two went to freshen up.
In the hall, Wu Lan called some generals and officials, as well as his son who lived in the mansion, the youngest was only five years old, and was forcibly held in his arms by his brother, babbling and struggling. Wu Lan took everyone to Qu Ping and made an introduction, Qu Ping shook hands one by one, and when he arrived at Wu Lan's sixth son Wu Wei, Qu Ping saw that he was tired and had dark circles in his eyes, and quipped: "The sixth son read the candle night last night and was angry and strong!" ”
Wu Lan knew that his sixth son liked to play on weekdays, so he slapped him on the head and shouted: "You are not a competitive thing, where did you go last night?" ”
Wu Wei lowered his head, didn't dare to resist, and said embarrassedly: "I went to ...... drinking"
Wu Lan scolded while hitting him on the head: "Drink! Drink! I'll let you drink! You shameful thing! ”
Qu Ping grabbed Wu Lan and persuaded: "Forget it, which teenager is not frivolous, it would be good if he knew his mistakes in the future." ”
Wu Lan stopped his hand fiercely: "Let the prince of the country laugh." Then move on to introduce others.
