Chapter Eighty-Nine: Recovery
Wen Zhen hides his face - you look like you are the one who is ready to rob the one in the back.
But he immediately stopped, and then one of them cried: "Don't hit me, don't hit me, it's me!" β
Wen Zhen listened to the voice as if it was strange and familiar, and in the darkness opposite, someone dismounted and walked out slowly.
It's a scholar, it's the one who was in Yun County during the day today, borrowed books to clean up, and later persuaded her not to offend the county order, and finally jumped out and stopped Jun Moxiao.
When Jun Moxiao looked at him, his expression relaxed, and he jumped off the lane: "Hey, what are you chasing after in the middle of the night?" β
Wen Zhen was looking at the horse behind this person, this year's horse is a high-level means of transportation, not something that a poor scholar can afford to ride.
The man shook his head and said, "In Xia Shi Wensheng, I have met the three of you today." Chasing after me at night is really a last resort, because ...... Because ......," his voice suddenly choked, "the Minute Repeater Book House has been burned!" β
Wen Zhen's surprise was not trivial, and he hurriedly jumped out of the car, and Shi Wensheng barely held back his tears, and told her that as soon as she left, the county master said that he would go back to the government to do things and ignore it. Zheng San was also taken away, but it didn't take long for him to be put back, and the shopkeeper of Jianghu Lao also went back to business as usual, and he didn't know if he was angry or something, and he also engaged in an activity of eating 100 and getting 100 free. It caused a lot of people to flock to it. After Zheng San came back, he went to the Sanwen Book House, scolded, kicked and beaten, and still called the rivers and lakes to send the table, this time with Erlang, set up two tables in the Sanwen Book House, because the crowd was too crowded, the hot pot was tripped again, and the book next to it was lit.
Zheng San didn't put out the fire, so he took his own people to the rivers and lakes to fish, saying that the Samwen Book House was on fire, and another banquet was opened, and a group of people continued to enjoy the fire in the Samwen Book House while drinking. The rivers and lakes also sent people to fight the fire, but somehow, the more the fire was put out, the bigger the fire, and the people who were eating in the rivers and lakes were supposed to go to fight the fire, but the shopkeeper said that as soon as the person left, it was not easy to check afterwards, and if he wanted to go to fight the fire, he had to settle the bill at the original price and then leave, and he did not enjoy the discount. When everyone heard that they didn't enjoy the discount, anyway, there were people from the rivers and lakes to save them, so naturally it wouldn't be much trouble.
When their group of scholars heard the news, the books in the book house were almost burned, they tried their best to grab a small number of books, and a companion was almost kicked into the fire by the guy who pretended to be fighting the fire, everyone fought for a long time, tired, angry and sad, and wanted to go back with the book, but was stopped by Zheng San, who held a grudge, and made all kinds of troubles, he didn't see it well, so if he went on like this, these poor scholars would sooner or later grind these gangsters to death, so he rushed to a relative's house to borrow a horse, and asked Wen Zhen and others about the direction of travel from someone who was familiar with the city gate, After Yunxian went out of the city, because the official road was too winding, he had relatives of Orion in the mountains, who were familiar with the terrain, copied the shortcut, and finally caught up.
His tone was choked, he always lowered his head when he spoke, and he seemed very frightened, and the courage to stand in front of Jun Moxiao before seemed to have been shocked by this reversal.
Wen Zhen found that his hair was long and short, his clothes were curled with scorched edges, and his face was covered with black ash, and he really looked like he had come out of the fire.
Wen Zhen heard that some officials in Dongtang were like this, they were good at fooling, anyway, Shangguan didn't come easily, even if he came, he would do whatever he wanted, put on a positive attitude, and let Shangguan return satisfied. But after Shangguan is gone, only God knows whether he will do it or not.
I didn't expect to meet myself now.
Jun Moxiao was already so angry that his eyes straightened, and it took a long time before he scolded, "!" Book House! How much effort I put into collecting those books! β
"My lord......" Shi Wensheng held back his tears and shook her again, "Please save us." Zheng San is a man who will be avenged, and his subordinates are black, we scholars really can't stand their harassment and beating for three days......"
"Save, naturally save!" Before Wen Zhen could speak, Jun Moxiao had already said quickly, "Let's go back." Finish everything you can't do because of that bastard before you leave. β
She pulled her legs and left, but Wen Zhen said, "Don't worry. β
Jun Moxiao looked back at her and said hurriedly, "What are you still rubbing?" These scholars have caused unwarranted disasters because of us, and if one or two accidents really happen, how can you and I have a good conscience in this life? β
"Naturally, we can't ignore it, but there are three of us, what can we do when we go back? Do you want to listen to the county order again and fool around? If we want to demolish him, if he is annoyed and angry, can the three of us still fight with the officials of the county? β
Jun Moxiao was suffocated, and said angrily: "Then go back to Tianjing and report directly to Taiwei!" β
"Not really. It's just that I don't go to the prefectural order. Wen Zhen looked at Shi Wensheng, "You said you are familiar with a shortcut mountain road?" β
"Yes, I can take you down that path and save half the time."
"Let's go find the county lieutenant." Wen Zhen said, "The county lieutenant is in charge of the local army and controls all military affairs in the county. Let's go directly to the county governor, and you go with me, there must always be a bitter master. β
Shi Wensheng nodded hurriedly, and let him get into the carriage, bolted the horse he rode to the carriage, and turned back according to Shi Wensheng's instructions.
Soon got into a small road, Wen Zhen didn't sleep, and he didn't let Jun Moxiao doze off, the two of them left and right, closely monitoring the movements around them.
In the summer night in the mountains, there is no extra sound except for the soft chirping of night insects, and there is no wind tonight, and the winding road between the mountains seems to be cramped and stuffy, Jun Moxiao is soon so hot that she wants to roll up the curtains, but Wen Zhen stops her.
The curtain was rolled up, and the two were exposed, and if there was any ambush, a long arrow would be able to skewer the two of them.
Jun Moxiao laughed at her for being too careful, everything today was personally involved, Shi Wensheng also watched his series of performances with his own eyes, a weak scholar, who came through the mountains and wilderness in the middle of the night to ask for help, there was really nothing to guard against.
It's just that Wen Zhen insisted, and she had to listen, obviously her force value was higher, and Wen Zhen looked soft, but for no reason, several people naturally centered on her.
The carriage is rolling on the mountain road, only the creaking sound is heard in the quiet night, which makes people a little irritable, after a day of exposure on a summer night, the smell of humidity and heat is steaming between the plants and trees, some astringent and some dry, there is a yellow light in the distant woods like a ghost fire, Wen Zhen knows that it is a firefly.
Outside the car, Yi Renli was vaguely heard chatting with Shi Wensheng, and suddenly there was a light flashing outside the carriage, and Wen Zhen immediately asked, "What's wrong?" β
"Nothing." Yi Renli replied, "I'll light a fire and look at the road ahead, I feel that it is always going down, but I don't want a cliff ahead." β
Wen Zhen hummed, and then the lights went out, and it seemed that it was fine.
The swarthy scene of the same regression was very hypnotic, Wen Zhen closed his eyes, but felt that Jun Moxiao beside him was a little abnormal, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that her ears were pressed against the wall of the car.
Yi Renli also suddenly turned over and said, "There is someone behind him." β
Wen Zhen also felt a slight vibration on the ground at this time, as if someone was chasing after him.
This surprised her a little, she thought that even if there was an ambush, it should be in front, why did this chase from behind?
"Speed up."
The whip crackled in mid-air and threw out a sharp whip.
The car jerked even more violently. Wen Zhen prepared his own bottles and cans.
Suddenly there was wind.
Cool on the face.
Wen Zhen was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had gone out of the mountain road and Shangguan Road, but it was not, but he had arrived in an open place ahead.
I couldn't see the situation in front of me, but I felt that it was a large area, and there seemed to be something like a stone torii in front of me. It's just that most of it has collapsed, revealing a miserable white stubble.
At this time, it was really strange to see this kind of thing in the mountains, but Shi Wensheng, who was sitting on the wheel, said in a voice that was not abnormal, and said: "My lord, although this road is close, it is a little bad, and you have to pass through the legendary ghost pit in Dingzhou." It is also called the pit of a thousand people. In fact, there are no ghosts, but hundreds of people from a certain family died in a certain year, and they were all buried here, and people in the mountains did not dare to pass through here. I just came by myself, and nothing happened. β
Wen Zhen listened to this kind of story of patent rights in every country and every village, and only felt a strange sense of familiarity. Seems to have heard it somewhere.
Where have you heard of it?
Except for a little scary phosphorus fire, there are obviously no ghosts, quiet, and there is no terrible wind howling to create an atmosphere, only a little mountain wind, which is always leisurely in the ears, and it sounds ethereal, but people can't feel too much wind.
It was a downhill slope, and the carriage was getting faster and faster, and it couldn't be stopped.
I look like I'm going to pass under the dilapidated torii.
The sound of rushing behind him suddenly became violent.
As soon as Wen Zhen turned around, behind him, a group of people turned a corner and suddenly appeared, all of them were fierce horses galloping fast, long as arrows, bringing smoke and dust billowing in. The person in front of him, with long hair scattered and deep eyebrows and eyes, turned out to be Yan Sui!
Wen Zhen never expected him to chase after him, and rarely saw him with such a look, he was stunned for a while, and before he could react, Yan Sui had already flown up, swept to the side of the carriage, and dragged her out.
It's really dragging, Wen Zhen flew in the air as weak and helpless and pitiful as a kite, crossed a miserable arc, slammed his face to the back of his butt and fell to the respected horse.
De Gao almost had a veneer with her, but he jumped up in fright and landed on the radiant horse behind.
With a snort, Jun Moxiao also flew out, her posture was a little uglier than Wen Zhen's - she smashed face down on the radiant horse, just when she was radiant and unwilling to squeeze a horse with virtue, she also moved back, leaving virtue and respect, and greeted Jun Moxiao's face with her chest.
A moment later, Jun Moxiao's scolding covering his nose and the grumbling of holding his chest with respect resounded at the same time.
"Your bones (nose) are as hard as stones!"
This happened only for a split second, and a moment later there was a thud, and the carriage drove into the archway in front of the fierce ghost pit.
Wen Zhen: "Hey! With a sigh, I remembered that Shi Wensheng and Yi Renli were still in the car.
She looked over to see what was going on, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere around her was different, and when she looked around, all the guards were staring at the archway, and their faces were very ugly.
Looking ahead again, Yan Sui did not come back immediately, standing a stone's throw in front of the archway, his black hair and robe flying in the wind at the same time.
Obviously it was just his back, but Wen Zhen somehow felt that his heart was blocked, and he only felt that this sultry summer night was suddenly cold, and his back was lonely like a cliff of ice and snow for many years.
She was a little uneasy, thinking that nothing really happened to the ghost pit, but then she heard the shouts of Yiren.
"Wen Zhen! Wen Zhen! Jun Moxiao! β
There is also the voice of Shi Wensheng calling the adult, listening to the sound has already reached a distance, the carriage should have passed directly through the fierce ghost pit with the momentum of this downhill.
Wen Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, and then became angry.
Since there is no danger, what is he chasing after him?
Before she could speak, Yan Sui had already turned around, and with a move of her hand, she flew from the respected horse to his horse again, and faced him face to face, Yan Sui stretched out her hand and pressed it on her shoulder, Wen Zhen couldn't move.
Then he conjured two pieces of silk cloth like a trick, and one Huo Huo wrapped around her mouth, and blocked her question in time.
The other went down from her ears to her waist and around the horse's neck.
In a blink of an eye, she was tied to the horse's head like a rice dumpling by Yan Sui.
Wen Zhen was simply stunned - is this guy crazy?
Just because she went to find a friend to treat her like this?
She's not one of them, so why doesn't she have the freedom to go as she wants? Besides, a letter was left informing me.
Or is he still angry at what she said in front of Concubine De that day?
can be his IQ, he should know that the more she says that, the less he can treat her like this.
On the other side, Yan Sui's eyes were deep and secluded, faint and cold, only reflecting the white moon at this moment, and there was no human emotion.
She knew he was angry, chilling and unkind from every pore.
But why is he angry?
Why?
Then she noticed that he had turned his horse's head and galloped all the way back, and the direction turned out to be back.
Wen Zhen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that he would take the big road back to Yun County and solve the problem of the dog official and Zheng San and others, but when he passed through Yun County, he did not enter the city, and went directly to the mountains, which was actually the way back to Tianjing.
Her heart was cold, and she remembered at this moment that the county official was a member of the Li family, so naturally he was also his faction, how could he punish him?
How could he care about the life and death of a few scholars?
She suddenly struggled desperately. The unrestrained leg kicked him desperately, clamping the horse's belly.
She doesn't want to go back!
Even if she can't take care of the affairs of Yunxian, she still has to go to Zhangxian to find Junke!
That's the most important thing, he can't ruin her affairs by his own willfulness!
Then she couldn't move her legs anymore.
Yan Sui's body was straight on the horse, and her clothes rolled up in the wind and brushed Wen Zhen's nose, obviously just gently brushing, but in her anxiety and anger at the moment, she felt as if she was constantly being slapped in the face.
She has always been a calm and cunning person, good at laughing to hide her feelings to deal with everything, rarely emotional collapse, but at this moment it seems to be an exception - three dead friends are her biggest concern when she comes to another world, through the loneliness and helplessness of people in another world only she knows, a Tang Xianzhi who can communicate with her partially, she can feel cordial because of this, not to mention the dead friends who have spent more than ten years together, the moment she heard the news, she couldn't wait to fly to see what was going on, not to mention the long distance, Even if there are knives in the sky, she doesn't put more lids on the pot.
But now Yan Sui disrespected her will so much, so he tied her back.
Wen Zhen's blood surged, and he felt like he was going crazy with extreme anger, but he couldn't scream at the moment, couldn't move, couldn't even hear.
The fury was infinitely added to this stiffness and silence, more tiger than the wind in her ears, and she gritted her teeth at this moment and swore that she must teach him a lesson that was even more painful than she felt now!
At this time, the prince came to talk to her about cooperation, and she would agree!
If you don't put him on the ground and cry and shout aunt, grandma, I was wrong, she won't be surnamed Wen!
Yan Sui.
You're waiting for the old lady!
β¦β¦
The sound of horses' hooves snatched away, shattering the faint moonlight on the mountain road.
Yi Renli and Shi Wensheng looked at each other.
After a while, Yi Renli slowly turned around and looked at Shi Wensheng.
"How much was given to you?"
Shi Wensheng was shocked by this sudden question, and looked at Yi Renli's face in a panic, but the thick eyelashes of the beautiful young man in front of him drooped, covering the expression under his eyes.
"I'm ...... This ......"
Yi Renli suddenly sneered and said, "It seems that I don't need to ask you." β
He suddenly raised his legs, and his long legs cut a sharp arc under the moonlight, slamming into the top of Shi Wensheng's head.
The scholar snorted, fell softly, his body had not completely fallen to the ground, he had already kicked Yi Ren from a side, kicked out of the distance, and after a while, there was a muffled bang, as if he had been kicked under a certain cliff ditch.
Yi Renli killed this scholar without saying a word, sneered, and turned his head to look at the thousand-person pit that he had just broken through.
There is no pit in the pit of a thousand people, except for the archway that enters the door, it is just a bare flat land, and there are some half-cut white tombstones. There are small ugly flowers growing between the tombstones. Floating in the air seemed to be a phosphorus fire, but it was brighter and larger than a normal phosphorus fire, and on one side of the root of a tree, there was an abandoned mirror that was half covered with dirt.
Yi Renli stared at those tombstones for a long time before he said lightly.
"Come out."
β¦β¦
Yan Sui did not stop along the way, galloping quickly, traveling for a whole night and half of the day, and returned to Tianjing in the afternoon of the next day.
In addition to putting Wen Zhen down halfway to relieve himself, he actually kept holding the silk strip during this time, so that Wen Zhen felt that she was a dog that was walked, and he was the one who walked the dog.
So she was not polite, let her down, naturally to free her hands, she was full of good things, she found a worm on the ground, played some powder, and the worm slowly arched and climbed up to the silk cloth that would tie her hands.
Every time the insect climbed, there were a little more marks on the cloth, and the insect's body would shrink a little, and when it was about to reach the position that Yan Sui could find, the insect was completely gone.
And there is an inconspicuous transparent mark left on the cloth.
In this way, when she finished untying her hands and was tied up and carried on the horse's back again, the corroded fabric would break in a short time, and it would emit psychedelic gases while breaking, she didn't want to make Yan Sui faint, as long as he was a little sluggish at that moment, she could break free of the restraints and snatch the respected horse next to her and escape.
The abacus crackled.
As a result, when Yan Sui carried her on the horse again, she waved her hand and made a few snorts, and the silk cloth that originally tied her ears and mouth was replaced with a silk cloth that tied her hands to tie her hands, and the silk cloth that originally tied her hands was replaced by a silk cloth that tied her mouth.
Now she thought that the cloth on her mouth was the same place where the worm had crawled and buried, and she wanted to roll her eyes in disgust.
After boiling for a while, the silk cloth finally broke, and she broke the jar and thought that the plan had failed anyway, and she could get back by scolding a few words, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the broken cloth where the worm had been buried was stuffed back into her mouth.
This time she didn't want to roll her eyes, this time she wanted to vomit.
When she had easily pushed the cloth out of her tongue, and her mouth was full of indescribable tastes, she spat the disgusting spit on his sleeve.
I don't want to talk anymore, and I don't want to scold anymore, what are you talking about, Yan Sui, what do you really want to do, do you pay attention to any scolding and scolding?
She also wondered if he was a little unspeakable, and there was a necessary reason to carry her back in such a desperate way, but her anger was also hereβwhy can't you say it well? Do you understand that communication is a bridge to build feelings? Is the old lady such an unreasonable person?
Besides, she also thinks, what is difficult to hide? If there is really a problem, it must be the fierce ghost pit just now, but Yi Renli and Shi Wensheng rode through in front of her, and there was no problem at all.
He was weak and couldn't explain it, but he was willful and wanted to lose his temper, so he refused to communicate, right?
Then don't talk about it!
She vomited on his sleeve, and Yan Sui tore it off symmetrically, not angry, not too dirty, and didn't talk to her, and continued to walk with a pair of middle sleeves.
The second time she got off the horse to relieve herself, Wen Zhen didn't do tricks on the silk cloth, but her medicine couldn't be used directly, and the general poisoning methods were useless to Yan Sui, she caught an ant this time, left it in the nails, and returned to the horse, the ant slowly grew bigger in the nails, her hand kept hanging under the horse, and after the ant became bigger, she followed the trajectory she sprinkled on her body with medicinal powder in advance, and bit it all the way with the hardened jaws, biting until the silk cloth was only connected by a trace of cloth, and then climbed down the silk cloth, climbed onto the horse, and gave the horse a hard bite.
The ant has become bigger, and its jaws are quenched, although it can't poison a horse, but it is enough for the horse to go crazy in severe pain, and sure enough, immediately, the horse neighed and jumped violently, and at the same time, Wen Zhen struggled slightly, the silk cloth broke, and she immediately fell under the horse.
Her falling horse is still a feint, and she will kick Yan Sui's horse body at the same time as she falls, on the one hand, she can push Yan Sui's crazy horse farther, and on the other hand, she can use her strength to swing to the respected horse and grab the respected horse.
Virtuous and his horse: ...... Why can't you get along with us......
She would also take care of Yan Sui while falling the horse, so as not to drag her quickly with his hands and eyes - the ant was always getting bigger, and after biting the horse and sucking blood, it would double in size, and then it would fly up, bang and explode, exploding countless irregular black debris and pounce on Yan Sui.
Yan Sui, a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder and dense phobia, don't avoid this thing first, she has his surname!
What a perfect plan.
What a meticulous arrangement.
What a wonderful pit.
Wen Zhen fell down, and when he saw the black debris exploding in the afterglow, he had already sung a hymn to himself in his heart.
Then the song came to an abrupt end.
Her body stopped in mid-air.
was hooked by one of Yan Sui's fingers.
He hooked one finger at her, and with the other he waved away the sticky crumbs, distracted, and there was still a small amount of crumbs on the front of his blue lotus-colored shirt.
Then he took off his clothes, shook his hand, and made a hula.
As soon as Wen Zhen was pulled back on the horse, she spat on her own saliva under the hood, staining his robe with the ant's corpse.
And Yan Sui herself, in it is the sports vest she made......
Wen Zhen fell into a stunned state again.
After all, the respected horse was too concerned and was requisitioned again, Yan Sui dragged Wen Zhen to transition to his horse, and now, Wen Zhen and Yan Sui are still face to face, oh no, face to chest.
Because of the most adorable height difference, Wen Zhen's face is facing his chest.
Although Wen Zhen has tried to lean back, but riding on the horse and tossing around, it is still inevitable to hit his chest, it was a little better before, there are clothes separated by clothes, but now Yan Sui has taken off this ghost, the kind of camisole like vest, a large piece has been dug off in the middle and both shoulders, the beautiful clavicle line and smooth texture of the chest are exposed, Wen Zhen has to rub it up from time to time and bump into it, either the tip of the nose feels the slippery texture, or the lips sense the hardness of the clavicle, sometimes between the ups and downs of the body, You can also see a little soft red like dogwood between the narrow straps.
Wen Zhen felt that his nose was going to bleed!
But it can never be bloodshed bewildered by the beauty of life!
Obviously, he was hit by a hard bone and bled out!
Wen Zhen swore that he would never make clothes for him casually in the future, and he couldn't live if he did his own evil!
Because of this painful lesson, she will not be a demon when she goes to the toilet again. Anyway, there are many ways to settle accounts.
All the way to Tianjing, Yan Sui dressed like that and entered the city failed to attract onlookers, which made Wen Zhen a little disappointed. It's all to blame De Jong for being too diligent, sending people to the front station, and he didn't stop when he entered the city gate, and the whole way was like the wind, and no one could see clearly what the state was immediately.
It wasn't until he arrived at Yiwang's Mansion that the door to enter the main mansion lowered the threshold, and he drove all the way in before Yan Sui put Wen Zhen off the horse.
As soon as Wen Zhen landed, she felt that the atmosphere was abnormal, in fact, she also felt it all the way, although Yan Sui's guards were afraid and respectful to him, but their temperament was influenced by the master, and they were not dull, never like this Yan Sui didn't say a word all the way, and the guards also looked dignified.
What's the problem? That pit of a thousand people?
The more doubts she had, the more annoyed she became, and she dismounted without looking at anyone, turned around and went back to her room. The door slammed shut.
Yan Sui looked at her back, hesitated for a moment, and said in a respectful voice behind her: "Your Highness, you must always make it clear to Miss Wen......"
Yan Sui thought about it, and was just about to take a step, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and he appeared with a eunuch in his scheming.
The eunuch's voice was sharp: "Your Highness, Your Majesty has a will for Miss Wen, announcing that she will enter the palace immediately." β
β¦β¦
------Off topic------
Yo Xi, an important plot is coming.
Twist your fingers, I need motivation, you know.
