Chapter 194: Nightshade
As night fell, the fog in Chengdu did not dissipate, and seemed to be thicker.
Through the faint mist, you can vaguely see the twinkling stars in the dark blue night sky. The footsteps of winter, as if blocked by the stretch of Bashan outside the Sichuan, walking on the quiet street at night, strolling, Lu Heng actually found a small grass that was still growing tenaciously under an earthen wall on the side of the street. This little grass stood so stubbornly in the cold wind at night, and the green blades of grass made Lu Heng, who was used to seeing depression in winter, couldn't help but light up.
"Childe, do you want to take it off!" Beside him, Ah Gui saw Gongzi squatting there, looking at this little grass obsessively, and he was puzzled, thinking that Gongzi liked this weed. He stepped forward and asked respectfully.
Lu Heng squatted there and reached out to touch a piece of dew on a blade of grass. After gently reciting this slightly cold dew in his hand. Stand up and shake your head gently.
He turned around, reached out and patted Agui on the shoulder, and said lightly: "If it is pulled up, it will not be grass!" ”
After saying this, Lu Heng smiled meaningfully at him, put his hands behind his back, and walked leisurely forward.
It's not grass, it's what!
Ah Gui scratched his head a little dazedly and muttered in a low voice.
When he raised his head and saw that Gongzi had already walked away, Agui woke up and hurriedly chased after him.
The master and servant walked aimlessly on this silent street, and in the night sky, the bright moon with white spots exposed, like a dignified swan, walked in this faint sea of clouds.
In the middle of the night, the night in Chengdu is so charming.
Lu Heng stood on the street, looking at the empty and silent street, raised his head, looked at the bright moon roaming in the light mist, and after taking a deep breath of moisture, he couldn't help but admire in his heart.
On both sides of the street, the lanterns hung by large families swayed slightly in the gentle evening breeze.
Look at the dim light, illuminating the corners.
Lu Heng stood there for a long time.
Just quietly looked at the lantern hanging on the broken demolition door, and sighed slightly in his heart.
It's been so long since you've been away from home, Qingqing, are you okay?
In front of him, a woman like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, a face like a lotus blooming in spring. Lu Heng, who was in a foreign land, realized that he missed him so much.
I think of the crystal-like, pure, bright and fragile heart.
Lu Heng sighed deeply, staring at the lanterns swaying in the wind in the hazy mist for a long time, and finally had a long sigh in his heart.
Turning his head, he smiled faintly at Ah Gui: "Let's go!" ”
Ah Gui answered in a muffled voice, and was about to raise his feet to move forward. Suddenly, he keenly saw the door of the firewood, and a black shadow flashed by.
Agui is one of the best hunters in Miao Township, and his eyes are naturally not bad. In just an instant, Ah Gui recognized that the black shadow was a person.
Ah Gui was shocked, hurriedly grabbed Lu Heng's arm, and then reached out to hug Lu Heng extremely rudely, hugged Lu Heng horizontally, and disappeared into the darkness next to the street with a whoosh.
"Agui, warn you, you can't do this again in the future!" This is already the third time. Although he knew that Ah Gui was a loyal protector of the Lord, he was afraid that he would be hurt. But, ahem, it's a shame to act like this.
is a big man, so he was picked up by Agui like holding pork, and ran to the shadows. Lu Heng, whose self-esteem was seriously injured, was extremely depressed and scolded him angrily.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Agui smiled innocently and scratched his head. It seems to be embarrassing.
Lu Heng shook his head weakly in his heart, seeing Ah Gui's expression, he also knew that this was purely for nothing. I guess he'll forget it all after a while.
This can't be blamed on Ah Gui, mainly because these days, Lu Heng seems to have offended the immortals all over the sky, and wherever he goes, he will encounter assassination. Especially the one that happened ten days ago!
After the meeting ten days ago, after coming out of the governor's mansion. Lu Heng was about to wander around, and then asked Bai Miao where he lived by the way. But. Just walked out of the corner. I heard a sharp sound in the air.
Although poor Lu Heng was made a wise and almost demonic demon by Zhang Wenshan and others, he was still a weak scholar. Although in his previous life, he practiced some body-strengthening boxing techniques such as tai chi. It's just a fist embroidered leg.
At that time, Lu Heng heard a sound jumping behind him, which seemed to be the sound of a bowstring shaking. Startled, he hurriedly spread his legs and ran towards the dense crowd in front of him.
However, his assassin is clearly a good player. Such a great opportunity is impossible to pass up.
As soon as Lu Heng lifted his foot, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back. With a thud, the sharp feather arrow, with an extremely strong penetrating surname, shot directly through Lu Heng's body, and arrows emerged from his chest.
In his throat, a hot fishy liquid rushed up. Lu Heng's feet were unstable, and he fell to the ground with a thud. His throat was sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a wow.
Damn, are you going to hang up?
Lu Heng lay on the ground, trying to stand up. However, he clearly felt that the heat was running out quickly. His body became unusually cold. The front of me has begun to blur, and I can vaguely see the panicked crowd in front of me, running around.
Jump. Behind him, the urging voice sounded again.
Lu Heng sighed slightly in his heart, but his heart suddenly became calm. Liu Qingqing, who had not been seen for a long time, couldn't help but appear in front of him, a stunning face that was unparalleled in the world. Shaking his head with a wry smile, a hint of apology and remorse welled up in his heart.
However, just as the bowstring remembered, three rapid bowstring chirps suddenly sounded behind him again.
At the same time, the roar of Agui's beast blood boiled behind him: "Damn, Lao Tzu slaughtered you dogs!" ”
Oh, he's finally found the heart of the tiger!
Lu Heng wanted to look back, but his eyelids were too heavy. I can't open my eyes. When the last glimmer of light faded, it was dark in front of my eyes, and then I didn't know anything.
Boundless darkness enveloped him, and his body seemed to be a night boat floating in the stormy waves of the inky night. Thrilling fight against the monstrous waves.
I'm so dizzy that I want to throw up!
An extremely uncomfortable feeling pressed against his chest. Lu Heng suddenly opened his eyes, his head tilted, and he spit out with a wow.
In the hazy sight, there seemed to be several figures, all lying in front of him, looking at him strangely.
In my ears, I remembered Zhang Wenshan's voice that seemed to be very distant, and in the trembling voice, there was a thunderous rage: "The whole city is under martial law, kill them, and Ling Chi will be executed!" ”
Then, as if I heard someone humming something again, but then, there was a crisp sound of a glass being slammed.
Then, Zhang Wenshan's gloomy voice was extremely gloomy: "Huang Zhutou, do you want to disobey?" ”
"Something's wrong, the old man is on top!"
This was the last sentence Lu Heng heard!
When I woke up again, I saw Zhang Wenshan, an old man, sitting on the chair next to the bed, napping with his back against the chair.
After a few days, the old man's hair was no longer black, and the shining silver looked particularly kind.
Maybe it was when Lu Heng flipped his body, he made a slight noise, which alarmed Zhang Wenshan, who was asleep. The moment the old man woke up, as if he knew something, he opened his eyes.
His eyes were full of surprise, stunned, and excited. Sitting there, he just looked at Lu Heng like that. Under the pursing of his lips, he couldn't say a word.
The morning light shone into the room. The old man turned his back to the beam of light behind him, and his silver hair shone brightly. The sunlight shining on his back reflected a hazy light on his somewhat gauntlet body.
The old man looked at Lu Heng quietly, and then raised his hand. wiped the corners of his eyes, and then, in Lu Heng's smiling gaze, the old man suddenly raised his head and laughed.
Laughing like crazy, slightly moist eyes, in this warm sunlight, refracted the light that belonged to a man.
Lu Heng smiled with difficulty, shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Old man, when did you become Wu Zixu?" ”
Zhang Wenshan trembled and stretched out his hand to support the armrest of the chair, wanting to stand up, but found that his legs were numb. I couldn't help but swing up.
After a long time, the old man took two steps and suddenly stopped. Tears glistened in the old eyes, blaming the fire of anger and blaming it.
Zhang Wenshan just looked at Lu Heng like this, looking at the other party's pale face, a smile as calm as water as usual. His anger suddenly turned into nothingness.
He sighed deeply, looked at Lu Heng with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "You know what? You're fucking scared to death! ”
This is the first time since I met Zhang Wenshan, this talented man who is usually famous for his elegance and humility in Da Zhou, has said dirty words.
In a short chat, Lu Heng also knew that he was behind an arrow through his chest. It's basically hung at the door of the Hades Palace. Lang Zhong, who was invited, shook his head with regret after seeing his own situation, and said four words to Zhang Wenshan very succinctly: "I can't go back to the sky!" ”
After hearing this, Zhang Wenshan's beard turned white overnight. Sitting in Lu Heng's room in a daze, looking at the scholar on the bed, his vitality gradually disappearing. My heart went blank.
Sitting quietly, Zhang Wenshan's calm and terrifying eyes were gradually replaced by crazy killing intent. In the middle of the night, Zhang Wenshan summoned the Chengdu garrison outside Lu Heng's room and issued an order to block the city gate and search for the whole city.
And just when Zhang Wenshan was outside the room, his voice was extremely low and gave orders. In the room, Agui, who had been guarding Lu Heng's side. Crying and crying, he has been using the local methods of his hometown to save Lu Heng.
However, just as he reached out to press Lu Heng's chest, he suddenly touched something strange. When I took it out, it turned out to be a bottle of medicine.
Ah Gui is a person, although he usually says that he is a little honest. However, honest people are often more persistent. It is precisely because of his dedication to life that he saved Lu Heng's life!
When he saw this bottle of medicine, his eyes were happy. Hurriedly opened the medicine bottle and tore the clothes on Lu Heng's chest in three or two strokes. Picking open the medicine bottle, he poured the golden potion into the chest that had been shattered by the spiral arrow.
Then, in Agui's tearful, expectant gaze. And so it happened.
I saw that Lu Heng's chest, which was already blurred with flesh and blood, actually began to heal rapidly.
The wound healed rapidly, and the blood gushing out stopped in the blink of an eye. In just a few breaths, the originally hideous and terrifying wound had healed and only a plum blossom-shaped pink dot.
After seeing this scene, Agui suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little terrifying.
In the past few days, he can often hear Lord Zhizhou call Lu Gongzi a demon, or directly a monster.
Now, after seeing this scene, Agui suddenly felt gloomy.
He looked at Lu Gongzi, whose face had recovered some blood on the bed. In my heart, I am afraid of joy.
However, I remembered that since I met Lu Heng, there was more food and more cloth in my house. After my sister went out, she was finally able to wear a beautiful dress.
After thinking of this, Ah Gui's heart gradually let go.
He used a very simple, but also effective sentence to convince himself: how can there be such a good monster in the world. I think Lu Gongzi is more like a fairy!
With that, Ah Gui sat down again and began to pour the few remaining potions from the bottle onto the pink dots.
…… When Lu Heng woke up again, it was already morning.
From the angry voice of Zhang Wenshan in the room, Lu Heng also knew that the assassin should have been caught.
However, because the body is too weak. He only heard a few words before falling into a coma again.
Now, wake up again.
When I saw Zhang Wenshan, the old man, his beard was already white. The tears in his eyes, and the concern on his face. Lu Heng couldn't help but think of his father who died early in his previous life.
"Is it An Peng's man?" Lu Heng forced himself not to look at Zhang Wenshan's silver hair, and turned his head, but his heart was sour. After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes and looked at the draperies overhead. asked lightly.
"Well, that's the old thing!" Zhang Wenshan nodded, and replied with a heartfelt laugh.
"Thanks!" Lu Heng smiled slightly, raised his hand, hugged his fist at him, and said lightly.
Zhang Wenshan smiled, looking at Lu Heng's calm appearance, after thinking about it, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, thank you for this, I'll take it!" ”
The next day, Lu Heng finally learned from Ah Gui why Zhang Wenshan was so angry. Oh, it turns out that the culprit turned out to be because of a person.
There is no doubt that the assassin is An Peng's person, and he is not alone. The assassin who hid in the shadows and released cold arrows at Lu Heng. At the first time, Ah Gui, who was rushed out, fired three arrows in unison, pierced the skull, and hung up on the spot.
And other people involved in this matter were pulled out by Zhang Wenshan from all corners of Chengdu that night.
One of them turned out to be An Peng's righteous son, known as the number one general in the An family's army, An Yong!
At that time, when Huang Zhutou caught him, this person was extremely bold and messed with a group of Qinglou women in the welcome building. After seeing Huang Zhutou and his head leading people to break in, this guy pulled out a knife directly from under the sheet. Fought with Huang Zhutou and the others.
Although there are many people who hunt the head of the yellow people, this person is extremely brave.
The three Huang Zhutou were defeated and retreated again and again under the attack of this person. However, when this person was about to escape, he was surrounded by the Chengdu garrison that came later.
Facing the cold swords and guns of the army, there was no trace of fear on this person's face.
He laughed out loud and took out Anjia's waist card from his arms.
Seeing this waist card, Huang Zhutou suddenly calmed down. In his mind, in a sharp turn, he dispelled the idea of killing this person on the spot. Just let those sergeants escort him back and wait for Lord Zhizhou to speak.
However, he didn't expect that scholar would have such an important position in the heart of Lord Zhizhou.
When he told Zhang Wenshan about this, Zhang Wenshan's anger immediately exploded. scolded him with a big hand, and then said two words to him coldly: Cut!
In this way, Zhang Wenshan completely broke with An Peng's side and stood on the opposite side of An Peng's side.
After hearing the news, Lu Heng sighed slightly in his heart, and said lightly in his heart, thank you, Zhang Wenshan!
In the few days that he was lying in bed, Lu Heng was not only calculating the steps and strategies to deal with the An family, but also missing Liu Qingqing, who was far away in Jiangning.
I remembered that I had been away from home for almost a month. I don't know how the woman who is far away in Jiangning is doing now. Have you ever thought about yourself!
Now, I'm almost hanging here!
Lu Heng, who lived for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, missed the woman in his heart even more.
The efficacy of Heaven No. 1 is naturally not in doubt. On the fifth day, Lu Heng, who had been lying in bed for five days, finally fully recovered.
After getting off the ground, Lu Heng shook his head slightly and refused Agui's support.
He walked to the door and pushed it open.
With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened. The morning sun, sprinkled on the face, warm, really warm!
Two days after the incident, several fish that slipped through the net were all caught by Zhang Wenshan. Like An Peng's righteous son An Yong, none of these people escaped the fate of being beheaded.
After several bloody nights, Chengdu has finally returned to its former calm.
Tonight, taking advantage of the beautiful night, Lu Heng took Agui and walked out of the Zhizhou Mansion.
Lu Heng, who has experienced life and death, walked on this silent street, quietly looking at the interesting scenery beside the street. The fatigue in my heart that had been in my heart for a long time was finally relieved.
Oh, life, still leisurely!
Such a calm and leisurely scene, as if it was only in the first coming of this Great Zhou, on the Qinhuai River in that winter, there was once there.
It's just, ahem, helpless, Agui is too rude.
This man, in the past two days, has been like a frightened bird, as soon as there is a stir, he will directly pick up Lu Heng and run away without a trace.
Lu Heng turned his head and looked at Ah Gui, who was scratching his head beside him with a simple smile on his face, and he also smiled helplessly in his heart.
"Can you shoot?" In the night, Lu Heng, who was hidden in the shadows, pointed at the gangster who drew his knife and began to pry the door. Turn your head. Smiled slightly and asked Aguidao.
"Hmm!" Ah Gui replied angrily, and as he spoke, he unraveled these words from behind, and according to the drawings drawn by Lu Heng, he was converted into an iron-tired hard bow.
Catch the arrow and wind it, and your eyes are slightly narrowed.
After calming his breath, Gui's fingers moved slightly.
With a whoosh, the cold iron arrows that shot into the night reflected the faint silver moonlight, refracting a dazzling light.
This arrow, like a bright meteor in the night sky, flashes of cold light, illuminates this beautiful night!
