Chapter 10: Creating Trouble
For the rest of the journey, the three of them walked in extreme silence, and Zhang Song kept a straight face and didn't say a word.
After returning to the hinterland of Qingsong Valley, Zhong Lei thought that Zhang Song was frightened by what happened just now, and he comforted Zhang Song and said: "Zhang Jun, don't be afraid, go back and let Yu Junjia send someone to protect your safety!" ”
"Will I be safer if Yu Junjia sends manpower?" Zhang Song looked at Zhong Lei with a smile.
"How not?" Zhong Lei's voice was very loud, but after seeing the coldness in Zhang Song's eyes, he suddenly understood, and his voice immediately lowered a lot, "You shouldn't suspect that Yu Jun did that, right?" ”
"I don't know if he did it, but so far, I've only had conflicts with Yu Xinzhi in Qingsong Valley!" Although he knew that Shi Sheng was Yu Minzhi's personal follower, Zhang Song was not afraid to let people know his thoughts, so there was no need to avoid Shi Sheng.
"How is that possible?" After thinking carefully about Zhang Song's words, Zhong Lei may have thought of something, his eyes became suspicious, and even Shi Sheng could hear the unconfidence in his words.
Zhang Song didn't speak, whether it must be Yu Xinzhi who wanted to kill him, Zhang Song was not sure, but judging from what happened after entering the Green Pine Valley, it was more likely that Yu Xinzhi would die.
After two days of observation, Zhang Song has generally understood the internal contradictions of Qingsong Valley.
Yu Minzhi should be the titular head of the Qingsonggu family, and she and her younger brothers Yu Xinzhi and Chen Jia should belong to the same faction. Judging from the conflict at the mouth of the valley the day before yesterday, Fang Tao should also belong to this faction.
Zhou Mingshu, Zhou Fang, and Li Mo should be the other faction. It stands to reason that Zhou Fang and Li Mo did not hesitate to pretend to be a flying dragon thief to plunder Zhang Song to Qingsong Valley, and after arriving in Qingsong Valley, they told Zhang Song not to cure Zhou Mingshu, let alone kill him again when Zhang Song did not agree.
The only motive is the people of Yu Xinzhi's faction, and their purpose is also very clear, that is, to secretly let Zhou Mingshu "die", and unknowingly weaken the power of Zhou Mingshu's faction.
Zhang Song suddenly thought that Zhong Lei should also be a member of Yu Minzhi's faction, otherwise he would not have been sent by Yu Minzhi to accompany him to collect medicine.
Will Zhong Lei be ordered to kill himself? Thinking of this, Zhang Song involuntarily dropped two steps.
Perhaps sensing Zhang Song's abnormality, Zhong Lei stopped, turned back to Zhang Song and said, "I don't know who wants to kill Zhang Jun, but I definitely have no ill will towards Zhang Jun." ”
Thinking back to what Zhong Lei did along the way, Zhang Song knew that what Zhong Lei said should be the truth, otherwise, Zhong Lei would not have saved him at all.
"Naturally, I won't doubt Zhong Jun, you still have a life-saving grace for me." Zhang Song said with a smile, "I still have a lot of things to ask Zhong Jun for advice, and I hope Zhong Jun will not hesitate to give advice." ”
"I can't afford to ask for advice, I don't know what Zhang Jun wants to know, as long as I know, I will never hide it." Zhong Lei saw that Zhang Song did not blame him, and somehow breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's nothing else, you can tell me about the situation in Qingsong Valley, I first came to Qingsong Valley, my eyes are black, if I don't understand the situation, I am likely to inadvertently commit a taboo and annoy people." Zhang Song smiled faintly and said, "Can Zhong Jun fulfill my wish?" ”
Zhong Lei glanced at Zhang Song with a complicated mood, Zhang Song's purpose was not to avoid it at all, judging from his performance in the past two days, he was not the kind of cautious person, and he also heard that Zhang Song voluntarily went out of the city to save his mother and friends and came to Qingsong Valley, and as soon as he came to Qingsong Valley, he dared to confront Yu Xinzhi strongly, Zhang Song's purpose must be to find out who really wanted to kill him by understanding the situation in Qingsong Valley.
Although he knew Zhang Song's true purpose, Zhong Lei didn't plan to hide anything, firstly, after getting along this day, he really liked this calm and quick-witted young man, and secondly, he himself hated the person who secretly attacked him, if Zhang Song was really killed this time, this black cauldron would definitely have to be carried by him.
"Qingsong Valley has not been established for a long time, about four or five years, when the family is Mrs. Yu Minzhi, there are three generals under Mrs., that is, Zhou Mingshu, Chen Jia, Shen You, among which Zhou Mingshu led Li Mo and Zhou Fang, and Chen Jia led me and Tao, Shen You did not have effective subordinates." Zhong Lei concisely introduced a general idea.
"Is there a contradiction between Zhou Mingshu and Yu Minzhi?" Zhang Song seemed to ask casually.
"I can't hide anything from you." Zhong Lei jokingly said, "Because Mrs. is a woman and her prestige is not enough, Zhou Mingshu relies on him as a disciple of the family, so he usually does not obey Mrs. Much." ”
Zhang Song nodded, which was basically in line with his estimate.
After a while, Zhang Song asked with a smile: "So, Zhong Jun is also from Yu Minzhi's faction?" ”
Zhong Lei met Zhang Song's blazing gaze, and instantly understood what Zhang Song meant, he glanced at Shi Sheng, and said: "I don't belong to any faction, if I have to say where I belong, then I should belong to Qingsong Valley!" Of course, I usually get closer to my wife. ”
Zhong Lei did not deliberately hide his closeness to Minzhi because Zhang Song was suspicious of him, which made Zhang Song believe Zhong Lei's words a little more.
"According to you, Green Pine Valley is not a village, and you don't consider yourself a thief, so what are you coming from?"
Zhong Lei didn't speak, looking very embarrassed.
"If Zhong Jun is embarrassed, then forget it." Zhang Song didn't want to embarrass Zhong Lei, and finally made a friend with someone, and he didn't want to lose because of it.
Zhong Lei smiled apologetically at Zhang Song and did not speak.
"There is a question I have never figured out, Zhou Mingshu is sick, why don't you follow the normal method to invite a doctor, and you have to besiege Yongping County?" Zhang Song changed the subject.
Zhong Lei groaned and didn't speak, just when Zhang Song thought that Zhong Lei would not answer this question, Zhong Lei said: "None of us can see officials!" Doctors won't come to Green Pine Valley! ”
"Why?" Zhang Song asked in surprise.
"Because of where we came."
Speaking of the way forward, Zhang Song knew that this topic could not continue. At this time, the three of them had already walked to Zhou Mingshu's room.
Zhong Lei and Shi Sheng had completed the task given to them by Yu Minzhi, so they said goodbye to Zhang Song.
Zhang Song took the medicinal herbs and walked into Zhou Mingshu's room. Li Mo was left in the room, and another servant woman was serving Zhou Mingshu, and Zhou Mingshu couldn't stop moaning at this time.
"Did you get the medicine?" As soon as he saw Zhang Song coming back, Li Mo stood up with a look of hope and asked Zhang Song.
"It's back!" Zhang Songdao.
Next, Zhang Song, with the help of the servant woman, began to feed, apply medicine, and bandage Zhou Mingshu. It took a while to finish.
Soon after taking the medicine, Zhou Mingshu stopped moaning, and he fell into a deep sleep. Even if he didn't understand medical skills, Li Mo knew that the medicine used by Zhang Song had miraculous effects, and his face was full of surprise.
When joy covered Li Mo's face, Zhang Song suddenly said to Li Mo: "I won't be able to pick medicine tomorrow, whether Zhou Mingshu can get better depends on the will of God." ”
"What?" Li Mo didn't react for a while, but after reacting, he faintly became angry, "You use this medicine very well, why don't you want to pick medicine?" ”
"It's not that I don't want to pick medicine, but I don't have the life to pick it." Zhang Song said as he took out the two pieces of arrowroot cloth from his arms and gave them to Li Mo.
Li Mo took it suspiciously, and unfolded it under Zhang Song's signal, and this look at Li Mo was so gloomy that he could get out of the water in an instant.
"Not only that, I almost died when I came back from collecting medicine today." Zhang Song angrily told Li Mo what happened, and finally added, "Please also ask Li Mo to make the decision for me, if this matter is not resolved, I will not go into the mountains to collect medicine again!" ”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Song didn't care about Li Mo's reaction, and turned around and left directly.
After Zhang Song had walked a long distance, Li Mo's beastly roar came from Zhou Mingshu's house, followed by a crackling sound.
Zhang Song was stunned, although he looked angry just now, but in fact he was very calm, and his past experience told him that the more critical the moment, the more he needed to be calm, otherwise it would bring unpredictable consequences.
Although Zhang Song did not have a good impression of Xinzhi, he was even more annoyed with Li Mo and Zhou Fang, who had taken him hostage to Qingsong Valley. Zhang Song had no available strength in Qingsong Valley, so it would be more beneficial for him to intensify and superficialize the contradictions between the two factions in Qingsong Valley, and to fight.
I hope Li Mo won't be too weak, don't let himself down, and be able to go directly to the trouble of Yu Xin's faction, Zhang Song thought in his heart.
Zhang Song smiled and walked briskly towards the room where he lived.
When he returned to his room, someone had already placed dinner in his room. After dinner, it was getting late.
Zhang Song circled around the house, picked up a boulder from the back of the house, and moved into the room with great effort. He found another stone and smashed the iron lock on the door. He stood at the door and looked at Zhou Mingshu's house.
In the dark night, the torches in the green pine valley kept moving, and there was a noise from time to time.
After hearing it for a while, Zhang Song was a little disappointed and returned to the room. He moved the boulder behind the door and blocked it. Then he put the eating bowl and chopsticks and the small stone next to the pillow, and then lay down in the thatched pile with peace of mind.
Time passed slowly, it was already dark outside the house, the hustle and bustle of the day in the Green Pine Valley was gone, and there was only silence all around.
Zhang Song was beaten for a while, but he couldn't support it anymore, so he fell asleep deeply.
"Knock knock, knock knock."
I don't know how long I slept, Zhang Song faintly heard a knock on the door.
"Who?"
Zhang Song woke up, he sat up suddenly, his right hand quickly put a chopstick into his sleeve, and his left hand picked up the stone.
There was a light at the door.
Zhang Song walked briskly to the door and let out a low sigh.
