Chapter 14: Three Days and Three Days

When Jin Mingyin and An Yi came to the firewood room, they only saw the iron cable that had been opened on the ground, and Liu Er had disappeared.

He stepped forward and looked closely at the iron chain on the ground, and he noticed that the part of the lock hole seemed to be different from the other locks.

"Ming Yin, did you design this lock?"

The general keyhole is elongated and opened by a cylindrical key, but the keyhole of the lock in An Yi's hand is bent into a crescent shape.

"Yes." As he spoke, he took out a key from his body, only to see that the key was flattened, and it was also bent into an arc, which just matched the keyhole of the lock in An Yi's hand, "But this splash is an expert in unlocking, catch a hundred times and run a hundred times, alas~"

An Yi picked up a small copper rod next to the lock, there were still blood stains on it, presumably Liu Er only used this lock to open it, he turned his head to Jin Mingyin and said: "Mingyin, catch this guy again, don't let him run away, tie him directly to my house." ”

Jin Mingyin looked puzzled, "What's the use of Brother Yi wanting to splash skin?" ”

An Yi smiled at him, but didn't answer, remembering that Lang Zhong would come to give Gao Yingshu an injection tonight, so he said: "Ming Yin, let's go to Yingshu, presumably Lang Zhong should be over." ”

"Good! Let's go. ”

When the two of them came to the inner room, Dr. Zheng had already begun to administer needles, and the maid next to him was fighting. Doctor Zheng saw An Yi coming in, and hurriedly said: "Childe came just in time, I am going to start the needle now, the girl will have a very violent reaction later, and I need a strong person to help me hold down her body and head." ”

An Yi hurriedly sat in front of the window, gently pillowed Gao Yingshu's head on his lap, wrapped his left arm around his head, and pressed his right arm lightly in front of Gao Yingshu's body, and then signaled to Dr. Zheng that he could do it.

Doctor Zheng nodded, took out four silver needles from the sandalwood clip beside him, and carefully tied them at different positions on the top of Gao Yingshu's head. Then he beckoned the maid next to him to go to the direction where a copper basin was placed under Gao Yingshu's head, and said to An Yi: "Childe is ready." ”

I saw that he twisted the silver needle in his hand, spun and pierced into the top of Gao Yingshu's head, and Gao Yingshu suddenly shook violently. Seeing this, An Yi hurriedly tightened her arms, so that her trembling amplitude would not affect the needle.

"Childe, be a little lighter, pressing too tightly will lock the blood." Doctor Zheng stared intently at the silver needle, carefully manipulating the position of the silver needle in his hand.

An Yisheng relieved his strength a little, and Gao Yingshu's eyes were still tight, and he was trembling violently.

Suddenly, she raised her hands and clasped An Yi's right arm that was pressing in front of him.

Seeing this, Dr. Zheng signaled that the silver needle was at a critical point, and he must not move. Gao Yingshu's nails tightened with the clasp of his arm, and little by little they pierced into Anyi's hands, and Anyi bared his teeth in pain, but he didn't dare to move, for fear of interrupting Dr. Zheng's treatment.

After a while, a stream of blood flowed out along the silver needle and flowed into the copper basin that had been prepared long ago. As the blood flow gradually stopped, Dr. Zheng slowly pulled out the four silver needles on Gao Yingshu's head, and Gao Yingshu's originally shaky body slowly regained its calmness, and the hand that tightly grasped An Yi's arm lost its strength and went limp.

An Yi helped Gao Ying to the middle of the bed, gently tucked the corner of the quilt, and then stood up and motioned for Jin Mingyin and Dr. Zheng to come outside the house.

"Childe rest assured, the needle application is very smooth, the bruising is relatively small, and it has not caused much damage, the old man wants to come to Miss Gao is no big problem, just wait to wake up." Doctor Zheng said slowly: "It's just that the girl may be asleep for a day or two, maybe three or five days, this depends on the girl's own physique." ”

After listening to Dr. Zheng's words, a stone in his heart finally landed, and he hurriedly thanked Dr. Zheng. After a polite sentence from Dr. Zheng and An Yi, he left.

"Brother Yi can rest assured?" Jin Mingyin on the side said with a smile:

An Yi nodded, "Ming Yin, I will ask you to take care of that Yingshu, and I will come to pick her up when I finish dealing with the affairs over there." ”

"Brother Yi said something, I have already prepared the horse quickly, and I can go on the road when I am ready tomorrow morning." Jin Mingyin said:

"That's the case, then thank you, I think I'll rest early tonight, and I'll have to get up early tomorrow to hurry."

The two said goodbye to each other and went back to their rooms to rest.

-----------------------------

The next day at noon

Kowloon cottage

Lin Muzhi anxiously wandered in front of the village hall, originally according to the time agreed with An Yi before, he was scheduled to go down the mountain to accept Zhao'an today, and the people and horses in the village had been counted, and they were all ready.

But just now, Tanmalai reported that the army under the mountain had re-formed a situation of encirclement of Jiulong Mountain, which made Lin Muzhi very surprised.

He thought in his heart that if the situation changed, then An Yi should come to inform him, but he did not receive any news from An Yi after coming down the mountain, and now the army under the mountain looks like a great enemy, looking at the posture, this is to attack the mountain!

"Third brother!"

He was on fire, and suddenly there was a shout in the distance, the voice sounded familiar, the general bandits called Lin Muzhi the three kings, after the eldest brother and the second brother were gone, they would directly call the king, and those around the eldest brother and the second brother would call him the third brother before.

Lin Muzhi shouted towards the shout, and a thin figure hurriedly ran up from the gate of the village, and took a closer look at Li Huzi beside the eldest brother Song Zhong.

This Li Huzi is the shopkeeper who Zhou Yunlong captured together when he arrested Song Zhong in the tavern that day!

"Huzi? What are you doing here? When Lin Muzhi saw someone coming, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, "Aren't you arrested with your eldest brother?" Did Big Brother send you? How is Big Brother doing? He thought that it should be the King of Shu who agreed to his conditions, and Song Zhong, who had been released, sent Huzi to report the news.

"Third brother! I can't go down the mountain! You've fallen into the trap of the court! ”

Li Huzi ran over and bowed his head, hugged Lin Muzhi's leg and cried bitterly, crying with a handful of tears from his nose, and talking while crying.

This confused Lin Muzhi, and hurriedly asked: "Huzi, you get up and say slowly, what kind of trap?" ”

Li Huzi stood up and said, "Does the third brother know: who cooperated with Zhou Yunlong to catch me and my eldest brother in the tavern that day?" ”

"Say it."

"It's the two brothers and sisters of An Yi in Huayang County, the two of them have long colluded with Taketori!"

Lin Muzhi hurriedly said: "Brother An? It's impossible, he came up the mountain a few days ago, and helped me retreat the army of the king of Shu, and negotiated with me to take the brothers down the mountain. ”

Li Huzi said: "Oh, my third brother, you have been deceived, look at the army under the mountain now, do you have the meaning of retreating?" When I came up the mountain, the officers and soldiers of the Fenwei battalion were ready to attack the mountain! And the big brother... Big brother he.."

"What's wrong with Big Brother?"

"Big brother has already been killed by them! I took advantage of the unpreparedness of the cell boss and tried my best to escape. Third brother! Now if you take the brothers down the mountain, you will send their heads under their butcher's knives! ”

After hearing this, Lin Muzhi looked at Li Huzi in shock, "You said that the eldest brother.... He's dead? His brain "buzz~", a blank, he looked at Li Huzi who was crying bitterly in front of him, and thought of the sentinel report that the army of the king of Shu was waiting at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly the sky was spinning, comfortable, he lied to me?

But he thought about it, if the army of the King of Shu had intended to kill them, and didn't attack them three days ago, why did they wait until now? Are you afraid that you will be trapped and fighting more casualties?

Li Huzi seemed to see what Lin Mu was thinking, leaned into his ear, and softly sent him the last "explosive thunder",

"Third brother, do you know why the King of Shu besieged but did not attack, and was in a hurry to let you go down the mountain? As far as I know, the battle broke out in the northwest border pass, and the king of Shu must have received the holy decree to assemble within a time limit, and he can stay here for three days at most, three days! He has to withdraw, and if he doesn't, he has to withdraw, and he has to withdraw completely. At that time, will you rely on those people in Huayang County to kill us? ”

Lin Muzhi suddenly realized, no wonder he ran up and down the mountain, he was afraid that we would rely on the favorable terrain to resist, and we would be forced to withdraw if we could not complete the task of attacking the mountain within the time limit, and returned in vain. Thinking of this, he was really angry and angry, and thrust the green dragon big knife in his hand into the ground,

"Pass the order! Let everyone return to their original positions, close the gates, and prepare for the battle! ”

"Yes!"

Besides, in the big tent of the Chinese army under the mountain, the king of Shu is also urgently dispatching soldiers and horses, and the old prince has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, until this morning is the third day, and he still hasn't waited for An Yi and Gao Ying to go down the mountain, he knows that it is not good! At least it shows that An Yi and Gao Yingshu have fallen into the mountain, so he can't sit still anymore, and orders to re-encircle Jiulong Mountain, he doesn't want to wait until the evening, before noon he sees An Yi and Gao Yingshu come down, he is going to order to attack the mountain.

An Zhiyuan was also sad in the past two days, he sat in a small tent in the barracks, and kept sighing. An Xin walked over with a cup of ginseng tea, gently put it on the coffee table next to her, and said to An Zhiyuan: "Dad, don't sigh, you haven't rested well in the past few days, drink this tea and go to sleep, I'm watching it here." ”

"Xin'er, what do you think is wrong with this Yi'er? It's been three days, and there is not even a single message, is it possible to be trapped in the mountains? I said that this mountain bandit is a bandit, and if I tell them any conditions, alas, I should stop Yi'er. An Zhiyuan kept complaining to himself,

An Xin looked at him, feeling sorry for his father, and worried about his brother, "Dad, don't worry, brother is not a child, I am not sure that he will not go up the mountain, let's wait." ”

"Alas~" Old Man An sighed again.

Gao Yuhong was looking at the topographic map hanging behind the desk in the big tent, and a small school walked in quickly,

"Lord Qiqi, Tanma has just come to report, the Jiulong Cottage is closed at the end of the morning, and the people on the mountain are crowded, and they are in a state of combat readiness!"

He turned around slowly, and it seemed that Comfort should have failed, and the shadow was also .......

Thinking of this, in the eyes of the original Gu Jing Bubo, a touch of loss was fleeting, and a strong sense of sadness surged from the heart to the bottom of the eyes.

Gao Yuhong slowly closed his eyes, and after a moment, he suddenly opened them, and the sadness and loss in his eyes were gone, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

"Pass the order down, order the Fenwei camp to be prepared before noon, and attack the mountain at noon!"

"Don't attack the mountain!"

The little colonel was about to receive the order to leave, when he heard a shout from outside the tent,

"Lord Wang, don't attack the mountain!"

When the old king of Shu heard the voice, he saw a panting white-robed young man standing in front of the tent, that is?

At ease!

An Yi didn't care about the etiquette, and came to the case of King Shu in two or three steps, picked up the purple clay pot on the case and poured it into his mouth.

Gao Youhong hurriedly made a gesture, motioned for the little colonel to go out first, and asked An Yi: "Drink slowly, where have you gone?" What is the situation on the mountain? What about Shu'er? ”

An Yi put down the teapot, took two breaths, and told the king of Shu what Lin Muzhi said after he went up the mountain, as well as what he said later when he fell off the cliff to Jinzhu Village.

After listening to what he said about the past two days, Gao Youhong fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said to An Yi: "What Lin Muzhi said is indeed reasonable, but I can't rely on his words to order the arrest of a seven-rank imperial court official. And this morning, I got the news that Song Zhong, the eldest brother of Lin Muzhi in the Huayang County prison, had hanged himself a few days ago, and the person who was arrested with him escaped from prison last night and was missing. I don't know if Lin Muzhi heard any news, just now, the door of his fortress was closed, and he had already begun to prepare for the battle of the trapped beasts. ”

An Yi was also shocked and died? Without interrogation, the big living died like this in prison? , He said to the King of Shu: "Don't you think it's strange that Song Zhong died?" And that shopkeeper escaped from prison at this juncture? ”

Gao Yuhong said: "I also feel very strange, you two have come back again, so in order to prevent changes, I had to order the siege of the mountain." ”

"Can the prince order the guard to be lifted first, I will go up the mountain to find Lin Muzhi and ask the reason, it is best to find a compromise location, so that Lin Muzhi and Taketori can confront each other face to face."

The old Shu king shook his head, "This is too dangerous, first of all, we don't know what information Lin Muzhi has, if he has already seen the shopkeeper who escaped from prison, then he already knows about Song Zhong's death, besides, as far as I know, you also had a part in Zhou Yunlong's arrest of Song Zhong that day, right?" ”

An Yi nodded, that day it was indeed Song Zhong and the two bandits who used their brother and sister as bait to arrest together,

"Then when you go up the mountain, won't you fall into a net? What's more..."After a pause, the king of Shu said: "What's more, the old man received the holy decree, there is a change in the northwest town, I am afraid that the war will start soon, the emperor ordered the old man to cooperate with the Sichuan Chengxuan political envoy to complete the assembly of troops in Sichuan within three days, and the old man must take away more than 10,000 people under the mountain." You must know: it is impossible for the old man to leave a group of mountain bandits in our rear, even if Taketori's crime is really heinous, it will have to wait until after the war. ”

An Yi expressed his understanding that if there is really a war in the northwest, then Sichuan is bound to give full support to war preparedness, and it may be that in a rear county like Huayang County, at most only a dozen or so arresters will be left in the county office, and if there is a change in the mountain bandits at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Lord Wang, then I have the courage to borrow three more days from you, and I will definitely get things out within three days!" An Yi bowed to the King of Shu and said:

"Two and a half days, at noon on the third day, before the king saw you, he ordered to attack the mountain on time!"
