Chapter 68: The Eunuch
During the process, Gu Guan woke up once, but his reason was not awake, it was just from instinctive resistance, and after being held down by Cheng Liu, he fell into a coma after a while.
Yu Youkui was still a little worried, standing aside with a hot towel, at a loss, and didn't know how to help.
"Don't be stunned, pour this water and go boil another basin."
Yu Youkui went out with a basin, and after Cheng Liu re-stitched the wound, he wrapped his wound little by little with a strip of cloth.
The smell of blood filled the room, and Cheng Liu waited for the next basin of hot water to come before wiping the area around his wound.
Although Gu Guan was in a coma, he was still sweating profusely and looked very bad.
"Do you want to get a doctor?"
Yu Youkui always asked with some unease.
Cheng Liu shook his head: "I have already taken care of the wound, and when he is better, I will send him directly to my county guard's mansion, where it will be better to recuperate." You guard here first, I have to go back to Jianye first, I haven't been here for the past two days, I don't know if there is any new information. β
Yu Youkui was suddenly a little helpless.
"You're just going to leave him here and leave him alone?"
Cheng Liu smiled and asked, "What else?" You're both wounded, and I'm here to take care of you? Don't worry, I'll let the sweet potatoes come. β
Yu Yukui was a little relieved.
After riding the horse, Cheng Liu explained: "Ziqiugang is not safe, you should pay attention." β
After all the explanations were completed, Cheng Liu hurried back to Jianye.
He had a particularly bad premonition in his heart, as if something was against his throat, and no matter what he did, he didn't have any sense of security, which also caused him to abandon them so unjustly for the first time.
The cycle of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was not short, and the imperial court sent troops slightly faster than in history.
And now that the two armies have fought each other, he would like to know who has the upper hand at the moment.
Before Cheng Liu rode his horse and left Ziqiugang, he had not yet reached the outside of Jianye City, when a caravan in front of him blocked his way.
This caravan seems to be Zhang Jiao's followers, I don't know why it appeared here, but it looks a little like a refugee.
Originally, Cheng Liu planned to pass by directly, but when he passed by them, everyone in the caravan had strange expressions, and although they didn't stop directly, they all took the initiative to stop and stare at him from behind.
Sigh......~
Cheng Liu directly grabbed the reins, subconsciously rolled off the horse, and two arrows suddenly shot from the left and right sides.
This is the woods, the view is very bad, there are two groups of people hiding on the branches, with arrows condescendingly attacking.
After glancing left and right, Cheng Liu hid in a blind spot, but the caravan he had seen earlier had turned back.
Looking at the situation at this time, this is just the appearance of Zhang Jiao's followers dressed up as a caravan, but in fact it is the Yellow Turban Army.
Seeing that he was surrounded, Cheng Liu rushed out directly, and after a few arrows broke through the air, they shot towards his back.
After Cheng Liu dodged directly, he immediately exchanged hands with the caravan in front of him.
Just because these people were Cheng Liu's opponents, they all fell in less than a while.
At this time, the archers on the tree did not hide either, and jumped down directly.
Although they all covered their faces, the murderous aura in their eyes still couldn't be hidden.
"Are you a senior official of the Cheng process?"
The ancients were particular about what they said and did, and they had to confirm their names before they started fighting, as if they were worried that they would kill the wrong person.
Cheng Liu nodded: "If you don't change your name or change your surname, I'm Cheng Liu, what's the matter, which faction are you?" β
"I'm sorry you to come with us, someone wants to see you."
Cheng Liu's first reaction was Zhang Jiao, but thinking that he was still fighting in Jizhou, waiting for Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang to take him out, it was impossible to appear here.
So he asked directly, "Who is it?" β
"You don't know, come with us, otherwise although you are good, but here is inaccessible, there are still our people all around, as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, if you want to live, don't talk nonsense."
Cheng Liu snorted coldly, but the person behind this, he wanted to see it.
A short distance away from the caravan that followed them, it was also a small forest, but at this time there was a carriage parked here, and looking at the carriage, it seemed to be very exquisite, not like the Yellow Turban Army.
This was a little surprising to him, Zhang Jiao's followers could not have such a big deal to make such a delicate carriage, so this should be a member of the imperial court.
But what else can the people of the court do to find themselves? The matter of secretly entering the palace is pressed by the Queen Mother, if someone really wants to deal with herself, she should be the first not to agree with her current situation.
Therefore, the visitor greatly stimulated Cheng Liu's curiosity, and he stood outside the carriage and asked, "In the next Cheng Mou, I don't know what to do?" β
A high-pitched voice of a eunuch came from the carriage.
"Cheng Guanren, farewell from the palace, are you okay?"
This voice was very familiar, and after thinking about it for a long time, Cheng Liu remembered that this person had met in the palace before.
When he was out of the palace in a carriage, and when he reached the gate of the city, he was stopped, and the man's voice was somewhat similar to that of the father-in-law.
However, he didn't make it difficult at the time, just asked who was in the carriage, and left, but because of his voice and aura, Cheng Liu was still impressed even if he didn't see his true face.
"It's good, my father-in-law is worried, and he deliberately went out of the palace to find me, won't it just be a reminiscence?"
"Cheng Guanren is a cheerful person, our family doesn't talk nonsense, you and the Queen Mother chatted a lot of time in the palace, at that time, the Queen Mother didn't even have a close eunuch around her, our family thought about the relationship between you and the Queen Mother, and it can only be compared with the extraordinary, I don't know if it's appropriate."
This was a pun, Cheng Liu snorted coldly in his heart, but replied: "The Queen Mother and I are indeed reminiscing, what does my father-in-law mean?" Let's just say that I have to hurry back. β
"Okay, let's ask you, did the Queen Mother explain anything to you?"
Cheng Liu squinted at the carriage, and his heart was slightly clear.
It's finally time to cut to the chase, this dead eunuch, the deliberately polite clichΓ© in front of him, didn't he just want to know what he said to the Empress Dowager He that day?
"There are a lot of explanations, I don't know what my father-in-law wants to know."
"Cheng Guanren is a smart person, although the affairs in the palace are not handled by our family's hands, but at least there is a small effort, you are an outsider, it is inappropriate to enter the palace, if you forcibly bring the things in the palace to the palace, be careful to attract the disaster of killing." Our family doesn't have to say it clearly, you just need to tell our family, did you mention the issue of the Queen Mother going to stay? β
