Chapter 64: The Man in the Middle
Due to the high terrain where they were, Wan Linggen raised his eyes and saw the scene below at a glance, and sure enough, at the back of the mansion, hundreds of carts full of grain bags were neatly lined up.
"Isn't Lu Qigong in the house?" Wan Linggen asked after observing for a moment.
Yang Zizai said: "It shouldn't be there, this time is chaotic, they went up the mountain very early, and Lu Qigong rarely lives in the town." β
Wan Linggen nodded, "That's good, Mrs. Zun is not in the house, she should go up the mountain, let's go down first." β
Yang Zizai said strangely: "General Wan can see the situation inside? β
Wan Linggen nodded.
Yang Zizai's face changed, and he suddenly said: "General Wan, today I also ask General Wan to stand up for me, it is naturally good to be able to get rid of this group of animals, if not, take my family away, I Yang Zizai will be crushed to pieces!" β
Wan Linggen smiled and said: "That's nature, but it's not necessary!" So saying, he beat his horse and rushed down.
Yang Zizai showed a look of relief on his face, and followed with a horse.
"Gu Lao, I still think we are too impulsive, and we can't make trouble for the children!" Wang Bodang sat by a fire and said worriedly.
Gu Lianting was adding charcoal to the furnace, and when he heard this, he raised his head and said, "Elder Wang, that 200,000 stone grain is genuine, right?" That's enough! He threw charcoal into the fire, stirring up a spark.
"Old Gu, the food is in our hands, but we have to transport it!" Mei Fenglin frowned and clasped his hands, shook his head and sighed.
"Aren't Wang Xian's people already out? Xiao Yangzi is your proud protΓ©gΓ©, can he still stand by and watch? Fan Dongyang leaned back on a chair indifferently, squinting in the sun.
Gu Lianting's face changed several times, and finally sat down and said: "Xiao Yangzi's character is indeed good, and his wisdom is also first-class, but it's a pity that he is not a lady, how could he have a relationship with that King Lu Yan?" β
At this moment, a man on crutches walked in from outside the door, it was Wang Xian, one of his legs was wrapped in cloth, swollen like a stake.
"I said a few masters, don't you care about my sister? Besides, I don't think it's useful for anyone to come, unless...... Unless my family is handsome, those rogues will have to go crazy to the sky! β
"What's wrong with Pur?" An anxious voice rushed in through the door with a gust of wind.
"Dashuai!" Wang Xian's body was crooked, and he almost fell to the ground, but was firmly grasped by a strong arm.
The four old men also stood up involuntarily and looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of them in disbelief.
"Dashuai, is it really you?" Wang Xian was still in a trance.
"Tell me, what's wrong with Pur?" Wan Lingen grabbed his arm and shook it non-stop.
Two lines of tears flowed from Wang Xian's eyes, "Dashuai, my sister is fine, but she was in a hurry and fell ill again." β
Wan Linggen relieved his heart at this time, turned his head and nodded to the four elders, "You are really my father!" What do you think? You okay? β
The four old men's faces were red and white for a while, they looked at each other speechlessly, and turned their heads away.
He was so distracted, Wang Xian in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, he quickly pulled him up, looked at his swollen thighs, and asked, "Brother Wang, what's wrong with you?" Hurt? β
Wang Xian reluctantly stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Dashuai, it's not a big deal, but when I came back, I was accidentally stabbed by a stinger on the side of the road." β
Yang Zizai, who had not spoken at this time, spoke: "This ...... This general, if he is pricked by a wild branch on the side of the road, it is terrible, and he must use medicine immediately! β
Wang Xian glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about it, the old man Yang in the house has already helped me deal with it." β
Yang Zizai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took a step forward and knelt down respectfully on the ground, "Mr. Gu, the student is late, so Mr. suffered!" β
Gu Lianting glanced at him and said with a smile: "Zixu doesn't have to be like this, you ...... Your father-in-law didn't embarrass us, he just didn't let us go. β
Wan Linggen was concerned about Wang Po, and he interjected: "Wang Xian, where is Po'er now?" β
Wang Xian hurriedly said: "Dashuai is coming with me." As he spoke, he walked out, and Wan Linggen hurriedly followed and held him by the hand and walked forward together.
The two had just walked a few steps, but they heard Yang Zizai ask, "Mr. Gu, have your father and mother ever met Mr.?" β
Gu Lianting said: "I've seen it, they have been taking care of us for the past two days, but just now your wife came back and said that you were waiting for them on the mountain and took them up the mountain." β
"What?" Yang Zizi was shocked, his body shook, and he held on to the table so that he didn't fall down, and he asked with a blank face, "When did they leave?" β
Gu Lianting said curiously: "Zisu, what happened?" They've been gone for a while. β
Yang Zizi finally sat on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes.
Wan Linggen turned around and said, "Lord Yang, if your lady really wants to harm them, you don't have to take them to the mountain. β
Yang Zizi was stunned for a moment, immediately woke up, and stood up, "Yes! Right! They shouldn't be in danger, hehe...... I...... I'm really in a hurry. β
Wan Linggen ignored him and followed Wang Xian outside.
In an elegant side room, Wang Po lay on the bed with a pale face, breathing fast and slow. In fact, she didn't really have any disease, but she was in a hurry, and she hadn't recovered from a serious illness before, so she fell down again all of a sudden, not only didn't think about tea and dinner, but also hallucinated from time to time in front of her.
The door was gently pushed open, Wang Xian hesitated at the door, but still retreated, and Wan Linggen appeared in front of her bed.
"Brother, I don't want to eat, don't bother me anymore!" Wang Po didn't look at the people around him, twisted his head, and turned his body sideways.
"Pur!" Wan Linggen looked at the delicate woman in front of him, and his heart rolled.
Wang Po's body trembled, and he sat up suddenly, staring at the person in front of him with his eyes, "Xianggong? She slowly reached out and carefully touched his face, muttering, "Xianggong? Isn't this another hallucination? β
Wan Linggen grabbed her hand, "Pur, it's really me, not an illusion!" β
"It's really not a hallucination! Messire! Wang Po let out a cry of sorrow.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, Wang Po's illness was cured, and after a short reunion with Wan Linggen, he appeared in front of everyone with him.
It was indeed because of the urgency of time, after Wan Linggen made sure that she was okay, he immediately came to the main hall and gathered everyone together to discuss countermeasures.
