Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Dark Arrow
He Ke'er woke up from her sleep at once, gasping for breath, her heart pounding wildly, and her pale little face was covered with beads of sweat. She looked around in a daze, the piece of fabric he had given him that she had never seen before was placed not far away, and a faint light from outside the door shone on it, with a silk-like streamer, but he told Xiao Yao that it was made of wool.
After staring at this piece of fabric for a long time, Ke'er slowly calmed down, the dream just now was too scary.
Just like more than ten days ago, it was also the West Market, and it could be the East Market or which Fang City, she saw many, many people with strong crossbows lying in ambush on the roofs, and more people were hidden in the rooms on both sides of the street, they looked at the street below, their eyes were frighteningly cold, and their faces showed cruel smiles.
That Xiao Qu was sick Xiao Fuchen also took a dozen or so flying dragon forbidden soldiers to ride a horse Shi Ran came from the far side of the street, she saw these ambushed people emitting a faint light in their eyes, as if they were going to eat people, staring at Xiao Qu who was about to come over. But Xiao Quai's illness didn't notice these people at all, and he walked closer and closer to the ambush trap with a smile on his face.
She shouted so loudly that she felt like her voice was going to be hoarse, but he couldn't hear it, and rode over. The hundreds of people on the roofs on both sides glanced at each other with hideous smiles, and then pulled the teeth of the strong crossbow, and this time, Xiao Qubing did not hide from it......
Since Daddy told her about him for the second time three days ago, He Ke'er realized what a terrifying enemy Xiao Qubing had. And these two most terrifying enemies are now trying to kill Xiao Quai.
"Who is Wang Jie? Jingzhao Yin Yushi Dafu is a member of 20 envoys, and he is in charge of all business activities and all the arrangements for the dispatch of conscripts in Chang'an, whether it is public security, clothing, food, housing, or transportation. Not to mention that he happens to be in charge of Daddy, even if he doesn't have this relationship, it will be easy for him to kill our whole family! Even your grandfather's family will be implicated and bankrupt, and his idea of beating your grandfather's property is not a day or two......"
"In addition, there is also a left servant who shot the book to make Li Linfu support him, he has been the prime minister for 19 years, how many people have been completely destroyed by him in the past 19 years? At the beginning, the identity of Wang Zhonghei, who was the heir of the Four Towns Festival, was still the adopted son of the emperor, and he was not killed by him in the end. Now that the emperor ignores the government, the two of them are the entire court, and it is not a matter of one sentence who wants to die......"
"This time, Wang Ji suffered such a big loss, Chang'an Wei Jia Jilin committed suicide in prison, this is to offend him miserably, how can he give up! I've heard that he and Li Linfu are already looking for someone to frame the Marquis of Nashouchang County......"
This time, Wang Ji wantonly looted the taxes of merchants and ordinary people in Gyeonggi, Guannai, and Togi Province, and the rent adjustment increased by 50% compared with previous years, and the commercial tax increased by 60% compared with previous years. He wanted to loot money and present it to the emperor to flatter and compete for favor, but he let the Marquis of Shouchang County and the Anxi Army carry the black pot, and said that he would levy rewards for the meritorious soldiers of the Anxi Army......"
"Although the Hou of Shouchang County was favored for a while, the foundation was too shallow, and he still couldn't fight these two people. Now the entire Datang and the entire Chang'an can cover the sky with one hand...... The Marquis of Shouchang County is indeed a rare great man in the world, who has made such great achievements in the river at a young age, but how can he compare to Wang Zhonghe...... According to Daddy, it will not be long before he will be killed by these two men. Don't think about him anymore! ”
He Keer slowly sat up straight, sixteen-year-old she was originally a lively person, she didn't like to stay at home, and liked to walk outside in men's clothes. She even managed a restaurant on her own, which was given to her by her grandfather Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in Chang'an, as a dowry for her future.
But since the incident of that day, for safety reasons and not to let her contact Xiao Quai, she was forbidden to go out by Daddy. Then she began to become preoccupied, depressed all day long, and then when she heard Daddy talk about the danger of Xiao Quai's current illness, she began to have nightmares from time to time.
This is the second time she dreamed that Xiao Qu was assassinated by Wang Jie, and compared to the last time, this dream was simply real and terrifying, which made her have a strong illusion, could it be that Wang Fei and Li Linfu had already sent someone to harm him? He Ke'er wiped away the cold beads of sweat on his face with a hand towel, and gently rubbed the piece of cloth he gave him called a scarf with his other hand, which was as smooth as silk and as soft as his hand.
had to send Xiao Yao to inform him, He Ke'er suddenly had such a thought.
Xiao Qubing of Huaqing Palace didn't know that there would be a girl in Anyefang, Chang'an City, more than sixty miles away, who would have nightmares for him, and he didn't expect that this girl would think about saving herself.
Xiao Qubing has to go to Chang'an City almost twice every three days, and he is preparing to open two restaurants in Xishi and Pingkangfang. Thanks to the help of Colliers, he helped him buy two restaurants in the two most prosperous areas of Chang'an City in less than a day.
Xiao Quzhi came to Chang'an lightly this time, in addition to carrying some jewelry and some gold and silver coins, only 100,000 copper coins rewarded by Li Longji. It was not enough to buy these two restaurants, and Colliers knew that he would take care of it without saying a word. instructed a few apprentices and grandchildren to help Xiao Qubing do this matter casually, but let Xiao Qubing wonder in his heart whether these two restaurants would be his property.
Listening to Sun Liu, in the entire Chang'an City and Gyeonggi vicinity, almost half of the most luxurious mansions, the best fields, orchards, and ponds were the property of eunuchs headed by Gao Lishi.
The real estate matter was solved by Gaolis, but the furnishings and decoration had to be done by themselves. Therefore, Xiao Quzhi asked Sun Liu to accompany him to build a batch of modern-sized tables and chairs. In the Tang Dynasty, it was either sitting on a cushion on the floor, or a Hu bed (maza), or a bench about the same height as the Hu bed, and the corresponding table for eating and office was also low.
After solving these things, I am busy recruiting and training the waiters of the restaurant these days, and when the chef is trained, it can be opened.
Xiao Qubing also knew about Wang Jie's rampant conquest in Chang'an City and the entire Guannei Province and Dugi Province, and the banner he played was still a reward for the meritorious soldiers of the Anxi Army this time. It's just a joke, isn't it enough to give a reward that takes an extra part of the seized?
But Wang Ji and Li Linfu also have their theories, saying that one yard is one yard, this time the Anxi Army has made such a great contribution, shouldn't the entire Chang'an and Guannei Dao Dugi Dao express their hearts? Anyway, Li Longji agreed in a daze, and there was no way to persuade Li Longji to take back his life when Xiao Qu was sick afterwards.
To put it bluntly, Wang Ji and Li Linfu still found out Li Longji's pulse, knowing that he didn't care about political affairs, but the more the better. Since the people of Dugi Province in Chang'an Guannei Province have borne most of the rewards of meritorious soldiers, can't they keep more of the seized money themselves!
From this point of view, Li Longji is really a complete faint king at this time.
However, Xiao Quzhi just sighed, he didn't expect that this incident was actually aimed at himself, and he didn't know that a framed net had pounced on him. At the moment, most of his thoughts were on training, and the most he could use was Li Qi, the king of Jianning, who was cultivated by himself as a personal disciple.
He had to make him worship himself!
At this moment, Xiao Quzhi was smearing the traditional Chinese medicine ointment on a fine linen cloth and sticking it to the place where Li Qi was injured and fractured, and he wanted to use his dark strength to directly inject all the medicinal power of these ointments into the fractured lesion.
Ordinary people apply plasters to absorb very slowly, and the growth and healing of bones requires blood circulation to complete, and the fracture is inconvenient to move, and the blood circulation is not smooth, and the bone healing is slow, so there is a saying that it takes 100 days to break the muscles and bones.
However, Xiao Qu's disease is a dark method, and the medicinal power of the external plaster is directly delivered to the lesion site, which is difficult to absorb one percent of the medicinal power compared to ordinary people applying it for a day. This method of Xiao Qu Disease can not only deliver almost all the drug power to the place where it is needed in a short time, but also stimulate the blood circulation at the fracture site.
Xiao Quzhi estimated that from today onwards, he would be treated like this once a day, and within five days, Li Qi would be completely cured and alive.
About twenty minutes later, Xiao Qu's illness stopped, and he took off the fine linen cloth stained with ointment, and Li Qi suddenly found that the original copper coin-thick ointment had disappeared more than ninety and a half, and now only a layer of scattered and thin dregs was left on the fine linen.
He shouted excitedly, "Master, you are so powerful! Did all this ointment go into my legs? I feel itchy where my broken leg is tickling now, and it's very comfortable. ”
"No matter how comfortable it is, it may itch again, maybe it moves!" Xiao Quzhi smiled, put the fine linen aside, and helped him put the splint on again: "Endure it for another four or five days, and I will come to help you treat it once a day in the future, and you will be able to run and jump in five days." When the time comes, I'll teach you standing piles and tai chi. ”
Li Qi hurriedly played the role of a rice-pecking chicken: "Then can I practice as well as Master?" ”
"Yes, as long as you are willing to work hard."
"Xiao Qi is not afraid of hardship." Li Qi laughed: "Master, can you teach me some kung fu that I can practice while sitting on the couch now?" Xiao Qi didn't want to learn arithmetic every day. ”
"Master, the foundation of all this kung fu is standing on the pile, how do you want me to teach it?" Xiao Quzhi also smiled: "Why don't you like arithmetic?" Arithmetic is very useful, many of them are used in life, not to mention anything else, let's just say that if you lead troops to fight, food and grass supply distribution, etc., arithmetic is indispensable. ”
Li Qi pouted and muttered, "I don't want to be a grain and grass official." ”
Xiao Quzhi was also funny and angry, thinking about how to explain to him that arithmetic is the basis of all science, and it can also cultivate people's thinking ability, and when the time comes, he will also teach him some simple and practical knowledge of physics, chemistry, geography and biology. This math is not a foundation, how can it be done.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of several people approaching outside the door. Xiao Quzhi poured qi and blood into his ears and listened attentively, and his heart suddenly chuckled. At that time, I couldn't wait to jump out of the window and run away, I was really afraid of something, why did Li Heng suddenly come here? Does he know he's here? Was it intentional or unintentional at this time?
