Chapter 42: The Masked Man
Resting on Wu Sangui's tent was a red-crowned carrier pigeon. It can be seen that this is a high-level secret letter.
Wu Sangui took down the letter and nodded as he read it, with a confident expression on his face.
"Your Excellency?" Hu Wei looked at Wu Sangui on the side, wanting to know the content of the letter.
Wu Sangui didn't speak, he moved his fingers and beckoned Hu Wei over, Hu Wei went over with his ear, Wu Sangui muttered something in his ear, Hu Wei nodded while listening, and the corners of his mouth showed an imperceptible smile.
After Wu Sangui finished explaining, Hu Wei walked out of Wu Sangui's big tent, and the sky was already dark.
At this time, outside the Shanhai Pass, under the cold moon of the lone star, a white horse holding a person approached the pass step by step, it was Feilu and Zhu Qing.
"Report! A white horse was found outside the gate. A guard came to the White Tiger to report.
When the white tiger Suzaku heard this, he hurried out of the customs to greet him. This time, the ambassador of the capital did not stop him, he leisurely drank hot tea, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.
"Green Dragon!"
"Green Dragon!"
The white tiger Suzaku helped Zhu Qing, who was lying on horseback, at the pass, and called out worriedly.
Zhu Qing didn't answer, and White Tiger and Suzaku hurriedly carried him back to the post station. It has been looted by bandits and bandits and other strongmen from all walks of life, but fortunately, when the White Tiger Suzaku led the army in the afternoon, those rats had been driven away, and now this post station is mostly full of brocade guards. But there is only one guest room where there is a guest, and the white tiger and the red bird can't be driven away, and the ambassador of the capital can't be driven away. Because the man designated to wait for the green dragon, take a look and leave.
So when the White Tiger Vermilion Bird was carrying the Zhuqinghui Station, they all glanced at the guest room.
"Green Dragon!" Under the illumination of the post station lights, Suzaku suddenly screamed. She touched the wound on Zhu Qing's waist! Hands covered in blood!
"Qinglong hold on!" When the white tiger saw the blood on Suzaku's hand, he picked up Zhu Qing and ran to a room.
"Quick, medicine box!" Although they are all brocade guards, Suzaku's medical skills are the best among the four people, after all, she has been the first female shopkeeper in the capital. At that moment, she called, and one of the guards brought the medicine box over.
Without thinking, the white tiger tore apart Zhu Qing's clothes, and Zhu Qing was lying on the bed with his upper body, with strong muscles and a green dragon tattooed on his chest.
"What are you doing? Hurry up! Seeing Suzaku holding the gauze and being embarrassed, Baihu urged.
"Oooh." Only then did Suzaku remember Zhu Qing's bleeding wound.
"Since Qinglong last said that he was 'talking endlessly', he is now more and more prone to injury, and the bleeding is becoming more and more difficult to stop." Suzaku finally enters the role of a doctor. Said worriedly.
"Hmph, I didn't expect Manchu to have such a powerful poison! It's a pity that Zhu Qing only told us how to deal with the wound, but never told us what medicine to use. The White Tiger echoed.
Suzaku carefully debrided Zhu Qing, and then exposed the wound to the air as Zhu Qing had told them before. The bleeding stopped, but perhaps because of excessive blood loss, Zhu Qing remained unconscious. Just when the white tiger Suzaku was worried, someone pushed the door in. There should be only the ambassador of the capital who enters this room without knocking, but the person who comes is not the ambassador, twenty-one young men wearing masks.
"Now that you see it, you can go." The white tiger said to the man. It seems that they know each other.
The masked man didn't speak, walked straight to Zhu Qing's side, quietly looked at the unconscious Zhu Qing lying on the bed, and didn't say a word. After a while, the masked man took out a small bottle, which turned out to be medicinal powder, and was about to sprinkle it on Zhu Qing's wound, but was stopped by Zhu Que, "Don't mess around, the 'endless' poison in Qinglong's body is not completely clear, leaving hidden dangers, what kind of medicine are you putting here?" ”
The masked man glanced at Suzaku and let out a sneer, then sprinkled the powder on Zhu Qing's wound.
"Huh? ......" Suzaku wanted to stop it again, but it was too late, as soon as the medicine powder touched the wound, Zhu Qing immediately moved. The pale face gradually turned rosy.
"Well, I say, when did you know about this 'talking' antidote? It seems that Dongfang Bai is good to you. Seeing that Zhu Qing was gradually getting better, the white tiger patted the masked man's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Hey, you better take off your mask, wear a mask, how hot it is." White Tiger continued to tease.
"That's right. Take it off and take a look, if you want to look pleasing to the eye, this girl will take you. Suzaku also accosted him.
"Go and go, take it at every turn, shameless." The white tiger glanced at Suzaku, and the two quarreled.
"Tut, tsk, keep arguing, if you can wake up Qinglong, you are amazing." At this time, the masked man finally spoke, listening to the voice, there was a cynicism in the mystery, that kind of character should not be hidden under the mask, but why he never took it off, it is unknown.
Hearing the masked man mention Zhu Qing, the White Tiger Suzaku stopped arguing.
"Hey, when are you leaving?" White Tiger asked the masked man.
"Right now." With that, the masked man literally turned and walked out of the room.
"Hey, hey, how do you say just go? You don't have to be that serious, do you? Don't wait for Qinglong to wake up? The white tiger shouted after the back of the masked man.
"Hey, it's not that you don't know his temper, you can leave if you want, stay if you want, how like you." Suzaku said to the white tiger.
"Hey, what's wrong with me?" The white tiger boy quarreled with the Suzaku bird.
"Ahem, cough, cough......" At this time, Zhu Qing coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes.
"Hey, you're awake?"
"Awake?"
Seeing that Zhu Qing finally woke up, the white tiger Suzaku was overjoyed. Outside the door, the masked man didn't go far, and when he heard Zhu Qing's cough, he stopped, and was about to turn back, but hesitated, exhaled deeply, and continued to move forward. When passing by the corridor, he saw Zhang Fa drinking alone in the room, looking unwilling. He only glanced at it, then turned around and returned to the door of Zhu Qing's room, but this time he didn't go in.
"Be careful, there's someone outside the door!" Although Zhu Qing had just woken up and was still lying down, he had already noticed the movement of the masked man. Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Qing's words fell, a dart flew towards the three people in the room. The white tiger said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, and he stood up and took the dart, which was higher than the heads of the three people who were sitting, and the force was not fast, so it could be seen that it was not a life-seeking dart.
"Heh, if you have something to come in, don't you just say, what kind of darts are you passing on?" The white tiger got the dart and muttered.
"What's the situation?" Seeing that the white tiger was holding the note on the dart, Zhu Qing asked.
"Be careful ...... Zhang Fa?" The white tiger said suspiciously.
"Be careful? Who's out there? Zhu Qing felt a little strange.
"Xuanwu!" Suzaku echoed.
