Chapter 36: The Wind Doesn't Stop
The group quickly left Wubenfang and left Chang'an City from Chunming Gate, where they were placed in a manor on the outskirts.
Although he experienced a thrilling adventure, after all, the person was rescued, and after resting for a while, Zhang Huan found Xin Lang.
"Let's stay for a few days, wait for the turmoil in the city to subside and then go back slowly, please tell Brother Bailing to tell everyone, this time I have caused trouble to everyone, Zhang Huan is very guilty, I will find a way to do this, and I will definitely let everyone's imperial examination not be affected."
"Go to the sick, you don't have to worry about this matter, Wei Shangshu will enter Beijing tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and he will naturally make decisions for us."
Xin Lang smiled, he didn't care about the future, but it was the mysterious old man at the end tonight who made him forget, obviously, Zhang Huan knew his identity.
After hesitating for a moment, Xin Lang couldn't help but ask, "Go to the sick, who is the old man in the end?" Can you tell me? ”
Zhang Huan pondered for a moment and said: "I'm just guessing, if I'm not mistaken, those cavalry must also be the Fengxiang Army, think about it, except for Cui Qinggong, who can command the Fengxiang Army?" ”
Xin Lang lowered his head and thought about it, and he suddenly realized, "Could it be that he is Taishi Zhang who was ousted by Cui Yuan?" ”
Zhang Huan nodded, "The predecessor of the Fengxiang Army is our Zhang family's Hedong Army, so he must be my clan uncle." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Huan couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Zhang Potian can come in time, and he must have received a secret report in advance, which shows that the Cui family's control over the Fengxiang Army is not so firm, but in this way, wouldn't it remind Cui Yuan?" ”
At this time, Song Lianyu ran over in a panic and said, "Go sick, go and take a look!" Zhao Yan seemed to have something wrong. ”
Zhang Huan was taken aback, he hurriedly ran to Zhao Yan's room, only to see Zheng Qingming dressing his head with a cold towel on the side, seeing Zhang Huan coming in, Zheng Qingming immediately got up and said: "The place where Zhao Yan was injured is a little festering, and his whole body is very hot." ”
Zhang Huan touched his forehead, only to feel that his tentacles were hot, and gently uncovered his quilt, the wound on his hips and waist was indeed a little suppurated, presumably the cell where he was lying was too dirty and a little infected.
"Qiaoqiao! Where are you? ..... Qiaoqiao! ”
Zhao Yan called intermittently, his expression was extremely painful, and suddenly, he grabbed Zhang Huan's hand and called in a low voice: "Qiaoqiao—"
Seeing this, Zhang Huan couldn't help but sigh secretly, and he hurriedly instructed Song Lianyu: "Go and get a basin of clean water and get a few clean towels." ”
Song Lianyu hurriedly turned around, Zhang Huan saw Zheng Qingming standing there in a daze, and instructed him: "You go and ask the people in this manor, are there people practicing medicine nearby?" ”
After a while, Song Lianyu brought water and towels, and Zheng Qingming also ran back, "I've already asked, there are no doctors around here." ”
He raised the packets of medicine in his hand and said excitedly, "But there are some stick wounds in the manor." ”
Zhang Huan was overjoyed, there was a stick wound medicine, Zhao Yan was saved, he carefully cleaned the wound for Zhao Yan, and applied the medicine, not long after, Zhao Yan began to calm down, his voice became smaller, and became slurred, but everyone knew that he was still calling his beloved wife.
Zhang Huan walked to the door and looked at the sky, there was still more than an hour before dawn, he immediately said to Song Lianyu and Zheng Qingming: "After dawn, let's divide the work, Lian Yu stays to take care of Zhao Yan, Qingming goes to ask for a doctor, I will pick up Qiaoqiao, no matter what, to stabilize Zhao Yan's injuries, we can't delay his scientific research." ”
Time passed slowly, the sky was about to dawn, Zhang Huan simply cleaned up, and then left the manor and walked quickly towards Chang'an City.
Chang'an City was as lively and noisy as usual, and there was no arrest warrant posted at the city gate, as if nothing happened last night, Zhang Huan hired a carriage and soon arrived at the mansion of the head of the family, but Lin Qiao happened to see that they did not return overnight, so he went out early in the morning to inquire about the news.
"Where did she go to find out?" Zhang Huan felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Lin Zhiyu shook his head, "I'm reading, she just left a message and went out, I don't know where she went." ”
At this moment, a carriage came speeding in the distance, and the coachman whipped the horses as hard as he could.
"Look! Qiaoqiao isn't coming back? Lin Zhiyu pointed to the carriage and smiled.
"No, something must have happened by coincidence."
Zhang Huanfei ran up to meet him and asked loudly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Childe, it's not good, Qiaoqiao was captured by Cui Sanevil!"
"What!"
Zhang Huan jumped into the carriage and shouted, "Where is it, take me quickly!" ”
The carriage turned around quickly, and rushed to Pingkangfang again, from Chongrenfang to Pingkangfang only separated by a Chunming Street, only a moment, the carriage rushed to the sixth inn of Gaosheng, the coachman said in a trembling voice: "Miss said that there are relatives of Zhao Gongzi here, so she asked me to bring her, but as soon as I got off the carriage, I met Cui Sanwei coming out of the inn, he, he ....." The coachman couldn't go on.
Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Zhang Huan jumped out of the car, and the onlookers in front of the inn had not dispersed, and everyone was talking and full of sympathy.
"Poor woman, she was captured by that ****, and she is more than lucky!"
Beads of sweat flowed down Zhang Huan's forehead, if something happened to Qiaoqiao, how could he explain to his master, his wife, and Zhao Yan, could he still hold on?
At this time, the shopkeeper of the inn, who was also Zhao Yan's cousin, ran out of the inn, he grabbed Zhang Huan, wiped his tears and begged: "Son, go and save Miss!" It's too late. ”
"Don't worry! I'll definitely get her back. ”
Zhang Huanfei jumped into the carriage, he restrained the anxiety in his heart, and said to the coachman: "Go to Cui Xiangguo's mansion immediately!" ”
Now that Zhang Potian has appeared last night, Cui Yuan should no longer despise this matter, and now the only way to do it is to find Cui Yuan directly and ask Cui Yuan to stop his nephew from doing evil, as for what will happen to him, it doesn't matter anymore.
Cui Yuan's mansion is not far away, in Xuanyangfang, that is, the former residence of Yang Yuhuan's third sister, Mrs. Yu Guo, the coachman took a short distance and soon came to Cui Yuan's mansion.
The gate of Cui Yuan's mansion was closed, only a few family members were sweeping the floor on the steps, and the side door next to it opened a crack, and there was a person who looked like a little butler sitting at the door to supervise the work.
Zhang Huan got out of the carriage and ran up the steps quickly, he took out a small ingot of gold and stuffed it to the little butler and said, "Please tell Xiangguo, just say that Hedong Zhang Huan should come to see him by appointment!" ”
As if hit by a pie in the sky, the little butler stood for a long time pinching the gold before he said with a smile on his face: "It's unfortunate that the son is going to the court in the morning, or you come back in the evening, find me directly, and I will report for you!" ”
"Oops!"
Zhang Huan then remembered that since the head of the family had gone to the court, Cui Yuan naturally had to go, how could he forget.
"When does Xiangguo usually return home?"
The little butler shook his head and said: "This is not certain, usually I go back to the house a little more often at dusk, but during this period of Longyou war, he will not come back until very late, yesterday is a day of rest, and today is estimated to be later." ”
"Then do you know where Cui Xiong lives?"
"Cui Xiong?" The little butler said with some disdain: "Who knows? That guy has been in the army for so long, he doesn't know where to find a woman. ”
......
"Eighteen Lang, you are their head, Qiaoqiao's safety, I will leave it to you!"
"Huan'er, Qiaoqiao is the first time to enter Beijing, you have to take care of it a little more..."
The words of the master and his wife seemed to still linger in his ears.
......
'What to do?' ’
Time passed little by little, Zhang Huan paced back and forth on the steps with his hands behind his back, he was anxious, if Cui Xiong did evil during the day, it would be too late.
"No! Go to Shangshu Province to find the head of the house. Zhang Huan finally made up his mind, and as soon as he ran down the steps, at this moment, a wide and ornate carriage came from afar, and more than a dozen guards rode to protect him.
Zhang Huan only felt that this carriage was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it, and he suddenly remembered, 'Yes! I saw it at the gate of Ci'en Temple yesterday, this is the carriage of the son of the Chu family or Cui Ning. ”
Zhang Huan saw that the car was in front of him, he flashed, hid behind the stone lion, the carriage stopped, and walked out of the car a handsome and handsome young man, it was yesterday that he saw Chu Gongzi, he was dressed properly, walked up the steps quickly, and said to the little butler with a smile on his face: "Little Brother Liu, please go and tell Miss, just say that Chu Wei is waiting for her arrival outside the door." ”
Zhang Huan was about to leave, the carriage suddenly moved, only to see it turn around and drive across the street, and stop next to his carriage, and all the guards were standing behind the prince of Chu, and there was no one on the side of the carriage.
Right here, a thought flashed through Zhang Huan's mind like lightning, and a ridiculous and bold idea uncontrollably popped up from the bottom of his heart.
