Chapter 113: The Return
Xu Liang woke up slowly, his head was heavy, and he felt a faint pain, carefully looked at the surrounding environment, and saw a vermilion lacquered wooden door at a glance, and the sunlight scattered through the carved gaps on the door, leaving swaying light and shadow on the indoor ground.
Not in prison!
Xu Liang breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and touched the tightly bandaged white cloth on his head, and the smell of Chinese herbs wafted into his nose. Xu Liang was relieved. It seems that his little life has finally been saved. Think about it, if the emperor really wants to kill himself, why bother to bandage himself?
Xu Liang looked at the sunlight shining in from the window, thought for a while, and heard the sound of the wooden door.
A little eunuch in Tsing Yi, who was about twenty years old, tiptoed in, saw Xu Liang awake, and couldn't help but shout happily: "Lord Xu, are you awake?" I, I'm going to sue the prince. With that, the little eunuch turned and closed the door again and walked away.
After a while, Wang Chengen brought two cronies and eunuchs to Xu Liang's bed. Wang Chengen looked at Xu Liang, nodded, and said, "Lord Xu, how do you feel now?" ”
Xu Liang stroked his forehead and frowned, "My head is a little dizzy." ”
Wang Gonggong smiled, "Anyone who hits such a thick pillar will get dizzy." It's good that Lord Xu can wake up. ”
Xu Liang was ashamed and said: "It made my father-in-law laugh." ”
Wang Chengen waved his hand and said with emotion: "Our family doesn't mean to make fun of Lord Xu. You've hit it well, and you've hit it well. The emperor has already spoken and pardoned your crimes. Go back and recuperate in peace. ”
Xu Liang was surprised, and then said happily: "So, I can leave?" ”
Wang Gonggong said: "Lord Xu is now free, so he can naturally leave." ”
Xu Liang got up happily, hurriedly bowed his hand to Wang Chengen with his shoes, and walked to the door with a twist. After roughly looking for a direction, he was impatient to leave.
Wang Chengen saw that he was struggling to walk more than ten steps, and beckoned to stop: "Lord Xu? ”
Xu Liang paused. turned around and said suspiciously: "Does my father-in-law still have orders?" ”
Wang Chengen walked slowly to Xu Liang. With his hands behind his back, he asked: "The inner courtyard of the palace of our Ming Dynasty is several miles longitudinal and horizontal, and it is like Lord Xu walking like this, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave the palace even if it is dark." ”
Xu Liang touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment and said, "This...... Hehe......"
Wang Chengen straightened his chest and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grace is vast, and he understands Lord Xu's suffering, and specially prepared a sedan chair to send Lord Xu out of the palace." ”
Let's talk about it. Wang Chengen raised his hand towards the southeast corner of the palace, and the soft sedan chair carried by four Han generals walked over under the guidance of a eunuch.
Xu Liang's eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed to the soft sedan chair and said, "This, this is for me to sit on?" ”
Wang Chengen smiled and nodded, and made a gesture to Xu Liang to please get on the sedan chair, "Lord Xu, please." ”
Xu Liang saw that Wang Chengen's expression did not seem to be fake, so he sat in with confidence. The soft sedan chair lifted up and walked a few steps, and then heard Wang Chengen call behind him: "Lord Xu? Stay. ”
I saw Wang Chengen follow up again, opened the sedan curtain and handed Xu Liang a small porcelain bottle. Said: "This is the wound medicine carefully prepared by the Tai Hospital, which has a miraculous effect on all kinds of trauma, you can take it." Go back and change the dressing on time, and you will be cured in a few days.
When Xu Liang heard that this was the medicine produced by the Tai Hospital, he couldn't help but be moved to tears, and clasped Wang Gonggong's hand and said: "My father-in-law treats the lower officials so kindly, and the lower officials are really unrecompensable." ”
Wang Chengen chuckled, approached the soft sedan chair and whispered, "Lord Xu doesn't have to meet our family. Our family's surname is Wang, and Wang Xian is our family's nephew. ”
Xu Liangdeng suddenly realized, and took out the excited expression of being an undercover agent for many years and finally found the organization, and shook the hand of the prince vigorously. "It turns out that my father-in-law is Brother Wang's own uncle, and Brother Wang has mentioned you many times. Today, I finally saw a real person. It would be too much to say thank you again, so what. In the future, if my father-in-law has a place to find my Xu Liang, just open your mouth, don't be polite. ”
Wang Chengen smiled, pulled out Xu Liang's aching arm without a trace, and said: "My nephew is not very promising, in the future, Lord Xu will be developed, please don't forget today, take care of him more." ”
Xu Liang hurriedly patted his chest and swore to the sky that he would unite and help each other with Wang Langzhong and make progress together.
Bidding farewell to Wang Chengen, Xu Liang sat in a soft sedan chair and was led out of the palace by a small eunuch leading four Han generals. When he came to the street through the noon gate, the little eunuch woke up Xu Liang, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, "Lord Xu, where do you live in your hometown?" Where are we going? ”
Xu Liang pondered, remembered the address given by the iron head on the road, and said: "This little father-in-law, you take me to the outer city near the Fahua Temple, and find a carriage and horse shop called Tongtianxia, where the person in charge is my relative." ”
When the little eunuch heard the location, he couldn't help but secretly complain, he knew about this Fahua Temple, and it was not close to the noon gate. Four or five streets apart. However, Xu Liang is the person who was told by Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, to be sent to the place safely, and it seems that the background is quite deep, so it is not easy to offend.
The little eunuch smiled bitterly, and urged the four Han generals to carry the soft sedan chair and go to Fahua Temple quickly.
When the group arrived near Fahua Temple, they asked Xu Liang the exact location of the world's logistics, and Xu Liang couldn't say it at all, so he just blindly said that it was near Fahua Temple, and asked them to find it.
The little eunuch and the four Han generals were unhappy in their hearts, and angrily circled around the edge of the Fahua Temple, and finally found the logistics of Tongtianxia not far north of the Fahua Temple.
Yan Qi, who happened to rush back to arrange affairs, was overjoyed when he heard that Xu Liang had returned safely, and rushed out, seeing that Xu Liang had come back, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and he trembled and helped Xu Liang down from the soft sedan chair with both hands, and ordered the men who were in the carriage to carefully help Xu Liang in, and let people reward the little eunuch and the four Han generals who carried the sedan chair, and sent these people away successfully.
Yan Qi went to Weiyuan Building with a flying horse to report the news, and on the other hand, he took three steps and did two steps, and went back to see Xu Liang with a brisk step.
In the secret room in the backyard of the Weiyuan Building, the leaders of the Xu Mansion were nervously discussing the intention of the sudden holy decree. In fact, when the prisoner car escorting Xu Liang was about to enter the court, most of the Tsing Yi guards in the ambush crowd had already approached the prisoner car, and as long as Feng Suqin, who was standing on the second floor of the teahouse on the street, gave a signal to act, he could rescue Xu Liang.
At this critical moment, the sudden arrival of the decree interrupted the original plan. Feng Suqin finally gave no order to save people, and finally watched Xu Liang being taken away by Wang Chengen.
Xu Liang didn't need to go to the Dharma Field, but he didn't know where he was taken later. The people of the Xu Mansion waited near the law field for a while, and when they saw that even the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division had withdrawn, everyone understood that Xu Liang's life was temporarily saved. While leaving people to pay attention to the news, he returned to the Ajihara Building to discuss countermeasures.
"Why hasn't there been any news yet?" Feng Suqin, the young lady of the Xu Mansion, was spinning in circles in the house, anxious.
"I said Sister Feng, please stop going around in circles, I feel dizzy when I see it." Dai Yingying saw Feng Suqin walking around in place, and couldn't help but stop.
Feng Suqin stopped and complained to Dai Yingying: "Aren't I in a hurry!" ”
Dai Yingying pouted, "Our people followed those two carriages closely, and they watched them enter the palace with their own eyes." Right now, our spies are guarding the gate of the palace, and if Xu Liang comes out, they will have a letter to pass on. ”
Xing Zhongshan also persuaded him: "Young lady, the holy decree says that it will be retried, if my estimate is good, then the prince will bring people into the palace, I am afraid that the emperor will personally interrogate him." Naturally, this will take a little longer. ”
Feng Suqin listened and relaxed slightly.
Soon after, a Tsing Yi guard spy came to report that a closed soft sedan chair went out of the palace gate and was walking out, but he was not sure who was in the sedan chair.
Feng Suqin immediately instructed the Tsing Yi Wei spies to closely follow the whereabouts of the soft sedan chair.
Half an hour later, news came. The soft sedan chair went in the direction of Jinyiwei.
The hearts of all the people in the room were instantly lifted. Jinyiwei is not a good place, if Xu Liang is fine, what will he do in Jinyiwei?
Immediately, there was news that the soft sedan did not enter the Jinyi Guard, but turned in the direction of the outer city.
Feng Suqin and the others listened, sighed and said again and again that they had the wrong person, and urgently ordered the Tsing Yi Wei spies to pay close attention to the movements of the palace.
After waiting anxiously for half an hour, there was still no movement in the palace.
Dai Yingying pointed at Feng Suqin and complained with tears in her eyes: "It's all your fault, if you didn't hesitate at that time, we would have taken Xu Liang to sea on a boat." Now it's okay, I don't know if Xu Liang is dead or alive in the palace! ”
Dai Feng glared at Dai Yingying and shouted, "Yingying, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Dai Yingying craned her neck and blushed angrily, "Where did I talk nonsense!" At the beginning, he calculated well, and after robbing the law field, he went to Tianjin Wei, and took a boat to go straight down to the south of the Yangtze River by sea. Along the way, manpower has been prepared at various leading points, and the sea ships transferred by Ge Qiao have already arrived outside Tianjin Weiwai. The original foolproof plan was stillborn because of the young lady's hesitation! ”
Feng Suqin felt sad in her heart, wiped her tears, and said to Dai Yingying: "Miss Dai, you don't have to say it, if the husband dies because of this, I will never live in the world." ”
Dai Yingying heard that Feng Suqin even said the words of martyrdom, so she stopped talking angrily.
At this time, a sweaty man rushed into the secret room, dancing and shouting, "Young master, young master, he is back!" (To be continued)
