Chapter 47: The Deception of an Honest Man
Zhong Liyi was about to go crazy, and he had already hurried for four or five days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The daughter-in-law of the Xiang family was seriously ill, and Yu Wa'er actually said that she wanted mung beans to make medicinal materials, but he kept asking around, but no one knew what it was.
He just thought that no one had heard of the small city of the lower minister, and he was dizzy for a while, and rushed towards Shouchun, the capital of Great Chu, but when he arrived at Shouchun, he hesitated again, the old lord had already led the army to go out, and the eldest prince was still in the army, and he was most jealous when he marched against him, and Zhong Liyi didn't dare to find anyone, so he had to rush around the city, like a headless fly.
Tian Pitian saw that he finally heard a useful news, when he heard that when King Xiang made the army to kill Yelang, there was a local thing named Lang, which was very similar to the mung bean that Yu Zhou said, Zhong Liyi was suddenly deflated, Yelang was still in the southwest of Qin, not to mention how to cross the Qin State and enter, a few months or more than half a year, and it was too late for him to come back.
Zhong Liyi was in a hurry, one accidentally collided with someone, it was very stiff, the other party was like an iron plate, he was already angry, Zhong Liyi, as a martial artist, instinctively went to draw the sword, who expected to draw two pumps, but he didn't move at all, only to see a giant hand on the hilt of the sword.
Zhong Li raised his head, the other party's tiger arm probed lightly, bent his elbow and smashed his armpit, Zhong Li stepped back to avoid the other party's momentum, but he didn't want that arm to be extremely long, pulling a belt, Zhong Li could no longer stabilize his body, only heard the other party's soft shout like gold and iron: "Get up!" ”
Zhong Liyi only felt that the world was spinning, and he was suddenly thrown by the other party.
After suffering a loss, Zhong Liyi did not get up, but put the sword in his hand, sat on one knee and said, "The eldest prince forgives his sins!" ”
"Haha, I felt familiar just now, sure enough, it's you, Zhong Liyi, you don't stay at home, why did you come to Shouchun, you can't do it now, you are so unaware, if you are on the battlefield, your Liuyang leader is not on your neck for a long time!"
It was none other than Xiang Ji's father, Xiang Yan's eldest son Xiang Chao.
"The eldest prince forgives the ......" Seeing Xiang Chao at first glance, Zhong Liyi felt that the boredom in his heart suddenly had a place to pour out, he couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep in the past few days, which can be described as haggard. The daughter-in-law of the Xiang family is still waiting for good medicine to save her life, and he has come up with a solution, but he is helpless, this torment makes him want to wipe his neck, if the daughter-in-law has three long and two short, he will have no face to return to the Xiang family.
When he looked up, Xiang Chao's armor was full of fatigue, and Zhong Liyi's words in his heart were blocked in his throat again.
"What the hell is wrong, it's not like you, you're sitting on the ground."
Sitting on the ground is Xiang Chao's private name for Zhong Li, Zhong Liyi is not very old, but he is steady at the age of twenty Lang, and Xiang Chao joked that he was like a three-legged copper tripod when he was drunk, and gradually the entire Xiang family called him so.
On the bright side, everyone didn't dare to call it that, because Ding Duo is a ritual vessel, plus there is an allusion to King Chuzhuang winning the title before, this is to be avoided, but the word Ding is enough to show his own character and the importance that the Xiang family attaches to Zhong Liyi.
Now this Ding is staggering in Shouchun, how can Xiang Chao not be in a hurry, he is in a hurry, and his nickname comes out casually: "Get up quickly, don't pretend to be on the ground, is there something wrong at home?" ”
Xiang Chao said this, Zhong Liyi calmed down instead, got up and hugged his fists and said: "Back to the eldest son, everything is fine at home, it is Zhong Liyou who suddenly fell seriously ill in his hometown and urgently needs a taste of medicinal materials, so I lost my sense of proportion, please forgive my son." ”
Xiang Chao felt a lot more relieved when he heard this, because Zhong Liyi, a square person, never deceived people, at least never deceived him, but just asked: "Startle me, what is the illness of your fellow countryman, and what medicinal materials do you need?" The Great Chu Kingdom has everything, I'll help you find it. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Liyi said: "Hui Gongzi, it's a pox, and you need to use beans in medicine." ”
Xiang Chao thought for a long time: "Oh! Acne, isn't that a common disease in children, it seems to be very dangerous, otherwise it wouldn't have made you like this, but your life is in danger? ”
Zhong Liyi said vaguely: "Yes, it is my fellow countryman's son who is sick and in critical condition, so he needs extremely rare medicinal materials." ”
"Randou, but I've never heard of it."
"Back to the eldest prince, Zhongli inquired about the whereabouts of this thing, but ...... But he was really powerless, so he was anxious. ”
"Tell me, one person counts short, and two people count long."
Zhong Liyi didn't dare to reveal the situation at home, so he had to start talking nonsense: "The person who treated that child was an alien, and he only said that he needed mung beans to detoxify and clear heat, and no one heard of it when I searched everywhere, so it was easy to find out a news, saying that there was a thing named Lun in the Southwest Yelang State, which was very similar, but it was ......."
Xiang Chao suddenly understood, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, just heard that similar things can make Zhongli anxious like this, it seems that the child he said is either close to him, or the situation is quite critical.
Xiang Chao no longer hesitated, waved his hand and called a team of sergeants: "Pass my military order, search for all the news of Yelang slaves inside and outside Shouchun, and report it within one day, there must be no mistakes!" ”
"Whoa!"
"Don't worry, Zhongli, you can describe what that mung bean looks like......"
※※※
I have to say that more people is more powerful, and soon all kinds of news will come back.
"Back to the general, there is no ...... found in Yelangnu in the south of the city"
"Back to the general, there is an old slave in the west of the city who said that there is indeed this thing in Yelang here......"
"General Mingjian, his subordinates searched all over the city and outside, only hearing his name but not seeing it......"
Xiang Chao Zhongli and the others were anxious, only to see a rider flying in the distance: "Report - General, there is news!" ”
Xiang Chao hurriedly stepped forward and called for a halt to the war: "Drink saliva, say it quickly, how about it?!" ”
The knight poured his saliva and said breathlessly: "General Hui, my subordinates have found out that there is a family of Yelang old slaves in the west of the city, and there may be such a thing at home!" ”
"Or is there? Why not bring it! ”
"General Xiang Rongyu, that family has moved out of this place two days ago, and I heard that it was because of the pain of repairing the city, so they fled to the southwest......"
Xiang Chao quickly went through the surrounding terrain in his mind: "Southwest, it's been two days, and further west is the place where the Qin army is fighting, how can this be a good ......?"
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhong Liyi's eyes full of anxiety, Xiang Chao gritted his teeth: "Zhongli, I can't leave without permission now that my military life is in my body, I will give you thirty sergeants, you lead the army to chase, and the rest depends on the destiny of heaven......"
Zhong Liyi looked at him with complicated eyes, Xiang Chao still didn't know that his daughter who was sick was born in Jiangmen, even if he knew that he couldn't go back to visit, there were too many such helplessness in the military gate, there were those who saw their sons fall off their war horses and be trampled into flesh, and there were fathers and sons who guarded the east and west of the city but were separated forever.
Joining the army, every time I go out, I am ready to turn around and say goodbye, now my father licks the blood from the knife, and my daughter is in danger, maybe my own little deception will make their father and daughter regret for life, Zhong Liyi is like a fish in his throat, so he has to take a strong breath and promise loudly: "The last general will take the order!" If it is useless, Zhong Liyi will come to see him! ”
