Chapter 145: Love in a Fallen City (1)
Three days later, Wuxian returned to Jinyang City with Wuxian and Xiao Jiu.
In front of everyone, he didn't have a seizure, and after the people were gone, he pulled me from head to toe and looked at me several times, as if he wanted to take me apart inch by inch, and check it out by block.
"Are you okay? Why is this hand swollen? What about the feet? Take two quick steps and let me take a closer look! ”
"I'm fine......"
"Obedient, walk two laps quickly."
My explanation was directly ignored by him, so I was forced to walk around the house twice, "This time I replied, only the right hand was too hard to twist when the knife was made." I put my hand in front of Wuxian and muttered, "You touch it, the bone is not broken, and it will be fine in two days." ”
Wuxian took my hand, sighed and hugged me into his arms: "I've only been away for a few days, and something happened to you." How are you going to let me live my life in the future? ”
"It's true that I'm prone to trouble, but I can always turn evil into good luck every time! It's just that this time things are too weird, don't say that we don't know the origin of the assassin, and I don't even know who the old man who suddenly came to help. ”
"What does that old man look like?" No shirt asked.
"Well, short and skinny, with a chest-high beard and long eyebrows, all hanging here." I gestured to my face.
"Long eyebrows?" Wuxian pondered for a moment, frowned, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the old man's weapon is a short dagger, right?" ”
"How do you know that you know him?" I asked in surprise as I broke out of my unshirted embrace.
"Changmei, in the early years, he haunted Wu and Yue, and a short dagger killed hundreds of swordsmen, but everyone who practiced swords had heard of his name."
"He punched a coin straight into a man's forehead, something I've never seen before. Hongyun'er, do you think he happened to pass by Jinyang when he traveled around the world, and he just happened to save me and Yin Duo? ”
"There are so many just things in the world." Wuxian looked into my eyes and said in a deep voice, "Ah Shi, it seems that Zhiyao already knows where you come from. ”
"Zhiyao? What does this have to do with him? "I was confused by his question.
"Changmei is now the number one swordsman under Zhi Yao."
"What do you mean...... Zhi Yao sent his first swordsman to protect me in secret? ”
"Well, but I'm afraid it's not you that Zhiyao sends long eyebrows to protect, but your blood and your stomach."
I woke up from my dream, and the fear hidden in my heart seemed to have been punctured by a needle, and I fled in panic and panic, and my hands and feet were cold in an instant.
"Don't worry too much, it's just my guess. Now Zi Di of Taishi Mansion is a well-known son of God in the Jin Kingdom, and you have your father and Taishi to take care of you, no matter how arrogant Zhi Yao is, he will not dare to force you into the mansion. Just be careful in everything you do. Wuxian squeezed my hand and softly soothed me, but he forgot that when comforting people, at least he had to loosen his frowning brows.
Zhi Yao really can't do anything to me now, but if Zhao Ying is not there one day, Zhi Yao will sit in the position of Shangqing. At that time, will he still be jealous of me, the "son of God"? Since Changmei was able to save me at such a critical moment, it means that from Xinjiang to Jinyang, he was secretly following us all the way. This feeling of being stalked and prying eyes on me makes me feel like I'm on my back.
Saving people is worrying, and this murderer is even more nerve-wracking. Upon his return, he carefully examined the six corpses, and found that the Assassins' clothing and weapons were extremely ordinary, with the only thing special being that all six of them were carrying flints.
The flint is used to make fire. Wu Xian guessed that the real purpose of these six people that night was not to rob grain but to burn it, thus hindering the restoration of Jinyang City. As for why they did it? There's no way to know.
Another clue is that there were two Di people among the Assassins. But now, there are Rong Di people everywhere in the Central Plains, they are either engaged in business or slavery, and it is also very common for the Qing doctor to raise a few swordsmen who are Yi Di Rong barbarians.
Hey, in the end, I'm afraid it will become a broken line like the bandits on Monkey Head Mountain.
"Ah Shi, you've sighed a hundred and twenty-eight times, what are you worried about?" Si'er put all the herbs that had just been dried into a cloth bag and hung them on the wall, turned around and walked up to me and said seriously, "Leave the affairs of the assassins to the people of the Zhao family to worry about, the sacrifice in three days is the most important thing." ”
"You don't have to worry about the ceremony, I've arranged everything." After I finished speaking, I lay half of my body on the desk, "Hey, Hongyun'er doesn't know what he's been busy with these days, and there is no one to see all day long, and if it drags on like this, the corpses of those assassins will rot into a mess." ”
"Didn't Cheng Yin tell you? Those bodies were buried yesterday. If you don't bury it, the corpse worms will crawl out of the house. ”
"Forget it, forget it, let them go!" I waved my hand distraught, "Why can't I just have a happy birthday for a few days?" When tomorrow's sacrifice is over, I'll leave nothing at all and let them go! Si'er, you go and change Yin Duo's dressing, and I'll go see the injured. ”
"Don't bother the four girls to run away." Yin Duo pushed the door and walked in just as soon as I finished speaking, and said with a smile, "I'm really embarrassed to let the four girls run around every day, and from today onwards, I will come over on time every day to change the dressing." ”
"Sister Si'er, I can't sleep these days, do you have any medicine, bring me a bowl too!" Xiao Jiu was sent by me to follow Yin Duo these days, and when he saw Si'er at this time, he immediately smiled and posted it.
"Xiao Jiu, you can't cure this disease." Yin Duo glanced at Si'er, who was busy beside him, and said with a smile.
"Cheng Yin, Xiao Jiu takes everything seriously, don't scare him." Si'er untied the bandage on Yin Duo's arm and turned to Xiao Jiudao, "You go and beg the sorcerer, let her cook you a bowl of calming medicine, and ensure that you sleep until dawn after drinking." ”
"Wizard, am I really sick?" Xiao Jiu walked up to me pitifully.
I nodded, and said, "You are sick, are you panicked, can't eat, can't sleep at night, and thinks about a person in your mind every day from morning to night?" ”
Xiao Jiu looked at me with wide eyes and nodded violently: "Wizard, how do you know?" My mouth is still bitter, my mouth is very dry, and my heart is beating fast. What to do? Can this disease be cured? ”
"It can be cured, as long as I marry Si'er to you, your illness will be fine." I looked up and laughed.
"If you are not happy, you will make fun of me!" Si'er grabbed a clay bowl and smashed it at me.
I hurriedly stretched out my hand to take it and smiled at Xiao Jiu: "Xiao Qinglang, your fourth sister is annoyed?" Don't hurry up and coax yet. ”
Xiao Jiu's round face turned red, and he muttered twice, tugging at the corner of his clothes to peek at Si'er's reaction. Si'er was changing Yin Duo's dressing with a straight face at this moment, and he didn't pay attention to him at all. In the end, Xiao Jiu stood up in the laughter of me and Yin Duo: "Sister Si'er, you wait for me!" After saying that, he rushed out.
"Tsk, what a stupid boy, you still want my family to wait for you without changing all your teeth?" I laughed twice and turned my head to catch a glimpse of Yin Duo looking at me with a smile on his face, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What are you doing?" Could it be that you also want to ask me for Si'er? No, Si'er has someone in his heart, and this thing can't be done. ”
Si'er took a bite of me with a red face, and carefully helped Yin Duo put on his clothes: "Cheng Yin, don't follow the fool, she hasn't seen the Zhao family's son on fire in the past few days!" ”
"What nonsense is the dead girl talking about!" I lowered my face and glared at Si'er, poured a bowl of medicinal soup from the clay pot and handed it to Yin Duo, "I heard that there was a letter from Xinjiang yesterday, but what is new in the Zhao family?" ”
"The prince of the world Bolu asked himself to give way, and the sons of the Zhao family gathered in Xinjiang, and it is expected that the Zhao family will have new movements every day. It's just that this letter has nothing to do with the dispute between the sons of the world. ”
"What did you say in the letter?"
The letter only said that Chen Heng and Kan Zhi, the two prime ministers of Qi State, had torn their faces, and there might be a war in the near future. The prime minister asked Wuxian to hand over the matter of Jinyang to the post doctor and rush back to Xinjiang as soon as possible. ”
"Chen finally couldn't help it."
"Qi Hou has favored the right minister Kan for many years, and the people of the Chen family have always looked at it. This time, it is said that Kan Zhi's clansmen angrily accused the Chen clan of despising the monarch and stealing power from the court. ”
"But what does the civil strife in Qi have to do with the Zhao family?" I asked.
"After the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan failed to besiege the Zhao clan, they fled to Chaoge, and later the prime minister led his troops to capture Chaoge, and they fled to the Qi country. I don't know about the Zhongxing clan, but Fan Jishu and his descendants are still alive, and Chen Heng takes great care of them, and they want to live a good life in the future. ”
"It's been so many years since the Liuqing Rebellion, and this Fan Jishu is still alive? Could it be that Prime Minister Qing wanted Wuxian to sneak into Qi this time and take advantage of the chaos between the two phases to wait for an opportunity to kill the descendants of the Fan family? ”
"I guess so."
"No, it's too dangerous! The Chen clan is powerful in the Qi country, and Chen Heng is ruthless, if he gets together with Kan Zhi, he will cause a military disaster. The prime minister let Wuxian enter Qi at this time, isn't he looking for death? "I suddenly became angry in my heart, where is Zhao Ying's weightlessness, this is clearly treating him as a murderous sword.
"It's useless if you say no, if the prime minister wants to go without mercy, he has to go." Yin Duo said.
"Where's Shirtless now? I'm going to find him! ”
"Maybe it's still in Xicheng, where a collapsed wooden building collapsed yesterday and killed two people. That's where I just came from. ”
"Okay." I turned and walked towards the door, only to take two steps when I suddenly became dizzy, shook twice, and almost fell.
What's going on? Could it be that I haven't slept well in the past two days and have suffered from fainting?
"Ah Shi, what's wrong with you?" Yin Duo asked.
"It's fine." I stood with my head on my back for a moment, when I suddenly caught a glimpse of the ripples in circles in the large water urn next to the door.
"Run! The ground moved—" Yin Duo exclaimed, picked me up and jumped out of the doorway.
The earth shook suddenly, the loess and millet poles on the houses all fell, and the brass rings on the doors clanged chaotically.
Yin Duo took me to the courtyard, I looked back and saw Si'er's figure, my head buzzed, and then I broke away from Yin Duo's hand and rushed into the house.
