Chapter 43 Befriending the Prince of Pingxi

After Yang Li finished speaking, he closed his eyes. Suddenly he coughed violently, and spat blood from his mouth.

Bao Qianqian's face turned pale with fright, and her clean official robe had already been dyed red and black. Unable to wipe away the tears that had already hung on her cheeks, she covered Yang Li's chest with both hands, and helplessly shouted for help around her.

The two assassins had already sent someone to find Langzhong, but they were not seen for a long time. Seeing that Yang Li's breathing gradually weakened, his hands began to droop...

A figure from the audience ran up.

The crossbowman quickly handed one of the pills in the box to Bao Qianqian.

Bao Qianqian hurriedly took it, and before she had time to think about it, she put the pill in her mouth and kissed the blood-coagulated man's lips.

After Bao Qianqian crossed the whole pill into Yang Li's mouth, the crossbowman shouted to the audience: "Brother Xiao, hurry up, come to the stage to help." ”

Two figures immediately rushed up from the audience, it was Brother Xiao and Swordsman Lu.

The three of them worked together to lift Yang Li onto the table brought by the guards. The crossbowman began to take his pulse.

Bao Qianqian was about to cry again when she saw it on the side, and the crossbow man put down Yang Li's hand, took a long breath, and said: "Second Miss don't worry, this kind of injury is not fatal to a battle-hardened person like Yang Gongzi." It's just that I lost too much blood and fainted temporarily. What Xiaodao asked you to give him just now was a secret medicine, which was not a problem to invigorate blood and relax tendons, as long as he adjusted it slightly, he would probably be able to wake up. ”

After Bao Qianqian heard the crossbowman's words, she regained her calm a little, and hurriedly thanked her: "Bao Qianqian has thanked the little real person for his great kindness." After speaking, she was about to make a big salute, and the crossbow man hurriedly helped her, "Second Miss doesn't have to be like this, Xiaodao is just doing her duty as a Taoist disciple." ”

Bao Qianqian stood up at this time.

The crossbow man glanced at Yang Li lying on the table, thought about it, and said more, "Second Miss, in fact, the matter between you and Yang Gongzi may not be as you think. A lot of things just he didn't have time to explain to you, or you just didn't... Alas..."

The crossbowman was halfway through speaking, but he didn't want to say any more, so he stepped off the stage first.

The second lady of the Bao family behind her suddenly became distracted, and followed the escort who lifted the table and got on her official ship...

For the crossbowman, this rescue move was mostly out of appreciation for Yang Li. It is not to say that he was moved, let alone the duty of a Taoist disciple as he said. It is purely a man's affection for another man, even if there is no intersection between the two, and he will do the same if it were another person.

But there are many ill-intentioned people among them, thinking that his actions are for Yang Li's sudden exposure of the identity of the son. After all, a prince of Pingxi is also a son who has won a hereditary title, which means that he is the next king of Pingxi. If this good fate can be formed, then as long as Yang Li does not die this time, the benefits obtained from it are unimaginable to ordinary people.

As for why no one has come to the stage to help for a long time, it is because many people's concerns outweigh the idea of wanting to get benefits. As far as the injury suffered by Yang Li just now is concerned, everyone present can see it, basically he is not a person with excellent medical skills, and he does not dare to act rashly at all.

Then, if you take a risk, one accidentally loses the life of a vassal prince, and such a result is probably ten lives, which is not enough to compensate.

If you are lucky, you can save Yang Li's life, but if you have any sequelae, or some kind of hemiplegia, then the consequences must be not much different from the direct result of his life.

Therefore, choosing to watch or even leave directly is the best choice.

About these concerns, thoughts. As the person who shot the crossbowman, he didn't think about it, and what he thought was as he said before.

It can be said that if he thinks about it carefully afterwards, I am afraid that he will be grateful to his third senior brother Niu Er. Because the pill was taken out of the wooden box given by the third senior brother, although the third senior brother said that he could save his life with this medicine at the moment of life and death, he was probably not sure in his heart.

From this point of view, the third senior brother is not bragging...

The matter on the stage is over, and the two assassins who know Yang Li's identity have quietly entered the official ship.

The summons officer received the order and came to announce:

Today's sudden change, everyone, please leave first. Tomorrow on the Huishui River, please come again.

The crowd dispersed.

At night, at the door of a restaurant in Beibacheng. The four of them were about to go upstairs to drink.

There were official guards who drove chariots and horses, and the formation was so great that the people in the city all retreated. The guards sent a message in a loud voice, saying that the two assassins had an invitation, and asked the four of them to go to the Nanba Assassin Mansion to talk about it.

On the stabbing Shi Mansion, when the four of them arrived, there was already a family banquet prepared.

On the main seat, the two assassins were chatting with the bandaged man on the side, and when they saw the four of them coming, everyone hurriedly got up.

As the host, Bao Thorn Shi invited the four to sit down.

After everyone sat down, Yang Li and the two of them made a asking look, got up and saluted the four of them, and said: "Yang has thanked the little crossbow for his life-saving grace, as well as the honest grace of helping me and Qian'er. As he spoke, he glanced at Bao Qianqian, who had already changed into women's clothes beside him, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Thank you again for the grace of Xiao Daxia, Lu Swordsman and Old Mr. Murong." ”

"Your Royal Highness, this has nothing to do with my old man. The old man was just stained with the light of the crossbow boy and was able to meet you. Old man Murong smiled and accosted.

Yang Li smiled awkwardly, and continued: "The old gentleman is serious, some people in the rivers and lakes are sophisticated, and Yang still understands it in his heart. ”

Old man Murong smiled and nodded, and said nothing more.

Yang Li saluted again and said, "Inviting the four of you tonight is not only a thank you banquet from the two uncles to the four, but also Yang's own wishes." If there is something that is not done well, I hope you will not be surprised. ”

The four of them nodded, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World still understands things, which not only gives the two Assassin Shi adults a step, but also reduces the opinion of others a lot. It can be said that it is a win-win situation for both parties.

If not, it is inevitable that some people will talk behind their backs, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World almost died in your Bazhou, as the assassin of the state city, he was originally the culprit, and he didn't care about the people who took huge risks to rescue, it wasn't to make people poke their backs and scold. Even if this matter reaches the palace of the capital, King Yan will ask King Pingxi for an explanation. When the time comes, the specific blame will be lowered, and most of the victims will be the two assassins.

The two thorns were busy smiling and opening their mouths on the main seat, and some of what they said was basically just what they should have said.

Yang Li waited until the two Assassin Shi Masters finished speaking, and smiled at everyone: "Don't call His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World." That's just a false name outside the body, I, Yang, said that I am also half a person in the rivers and lakes, why do you want so many cumbersome etiquette. Call it however you want, and don't look rusty. As he spoke, he raised the wine glass on the table, "This cup of little nephew has first saluted the two uncles, and thanked the two uncles for taking good care of them." After all, he raised his glass and drank heavily, not at all like a man with serious injuries on his body.

Bao Qianqian poured him another full wine glass, and then he said to the four crossbowmen: "This cup has been saluted to the four, and there are too many words of thanks, but it is not as good as the love in this wine." ”

A few people drank to each other, and it could be seen that the heroism of His Royal Highness was not pretended, it was really tempered.

After saluting a few people, Yang Li looked at the beautiful woman beside him, tenderness appeared in his eyes, he filled his wine glass, and said: "Thanks to the two uncles and everyone present, I will definitely live up to half of Qian'er in this life." ”

Bao Qianqian looked at Yang Li affectionately like this, until Lang Jun drank all the wine in the cup in front of him.

There was a cheer from the banquet, Bao Tingshi raised his wine glass, and said with a hearty smile: "The little girl Bao Qianqian will be handed over to Yang Shi's nephew in the future, everyone will drink with me, and bless this beautiful couple." ”

Tonight, if you don't find it, you can count it as a righteous face for yourself, and drink and bless with everyone.

And Bao Qianqian had already blushed and sat beside Yang Li obediently.

The rest of the sisters at the table covered their mouths and snickered.

More than halfway through the banquet, the two thorns couldn't stand the toast. Pulled the old man Murong to the pavilion of the house and said that he wanted to learn chess skills, the old man excused himself several times, saying that the wine had not been drunk yet, and finally it was Bao Thorn Shi who ordered the servants to carry a pot of high-grade Fengyangchun, and the old man left happily.

During the banquet, Gou Su, the third lady of the Gou family, also wanted to ask for advice or two, but there was a Lu swordsman on the table who she liked. The two sides weighed each other, and only sent his half-drunk father out of the door and came back.

Several people were quite interested, and deliberately let the two of them sit alone in the same seat. As for what they will say and do next, who cares.

Brother Xiao was not idle, and after talking happily with the "Brother Yang" in his mouth, he found a reason to sit in a woman's pile and began to blow nonsense, causing a lot of laughter.

What kind of stabbing lady is that woman, ladies and daughters. His heart is really big, but he has to admire that this guy can "mingle" with a group of women with his three-inch incorruptible tongue.

It's hard to figure out.

The crossbow man sat with Yang Li and Bao Qianqian here, a little embarrassed.

Bao Qianqian seemed to guess his thoughts, and then raised her glass to him and said: "Xiao Zhenren has a great favor to me and Yang Lang" Saying that, she deliberately blinded Yang Li, "Let this guy say everything, but it seems that I don't understand anything in the martial arts county order, even if this glass of wine is the little woman who thanked the little real person alone." Xiao Zhenren must rub the sharp spirit of a certain zongzi prince, so that he dares not to say anything clearly..."

Yang Li smiled helplessly, and the crossbowman drank with affection.

Then Bao Qianqian deliberately glared at the zongzi Shizi in her mouth, and then smiled: "Xiao Zhenren will seize the opportunity tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will say a few more kind words for you in front of the two little sisters, so that you can also win the heart of a beauty." ”

After speaking, she gave the crossbowman a "you know" look, and walked towards the group of women and women who were smiling very happily, and did not forget to step on the Zongzi Shizi next to her.

The crossbowman looked at Yang Li, who had a strange face, and the two looked at each other and smiled, and sat down.

Yang Li pushed a wine jug for him, and said with a smile: "Crossbow brother... You won't be surprised if Yang calls him that, right? ”

The crossbow man replied with a smile: "Brother Yang..."

"Come on, come on... We two had a drink first. Yang Li smiled more comfortably when he heard this.

After taking a sip of wine, he continued: "Brother, it's not much for Brother Yang to see a Taoist of your age walking down the mountain. I think there should be something else hidden, so it's better to listen to it. ”

The crossbow man then took a sip of wine and replied: "Indeed, as Brother Yang said, the elder brother was driven out by the master of the mountain gate, and the reason is probably that he is not good at learning and art, and staying in the mountains wastes food, so it is better to go to Hongchen as soon as possible to experience and save more public virtue." ”

The crossbowman said it in an extremely subtle way, but it was true, but the details were not clear.

Yang Li smiled, "My brother is really an ordinary person...", and then asked, "Have you ever thought about a career in office?" Seeing the crossbowman pondering, he continued, "Looking at the entire Yanli rivers and lakes, there are actually many capable people. It's just that they are accustomed to the freedom of idle clouds and do not want to be bound by shackles. If any monarch can convince him, he will definitely make the country prosperous for a long time. ”

The crossbowman nodded and replied, "Brother Yang has a wide range of opinions, and the elder brother sighs to himself. But there are some things that must not be fulfilled by heaven. ”

Yang Li had a feeling, "What does that brother think is the solution?" ”

The crossbowman said calmly, "My brother has some ideas, which are not mature, since Brother Yang asked, let's talk about it." The crossbowman collided with Yang Li into the wine jug, and continued: "As a king's family, many things are done because they see benefits, not because they want to do it. Then ordinary people should be like this, as long as some things can be given enough benefits, it must not be difficult to accept them. The difficult thing is that some people who are overly ambitious, your interests are never satisfied, or they don't care about interests at all. This is all human nature, so when the elder brother saw this, he didn't have a solution, and he didn't dare to talk about anything again. ”

There was a hint of appreciation in Yang Li's eyes, "That brother thinks that under the existing king, how many different ministers and soldiers can be single-mindedly mastered?" ”

A burst of loneliness welled up in the crossbowman's heart, and he couldn't answer this question, so he had to ask back, "Why don't Brother Yang ask those loyal ministers and good generals who died, their hearts are emperors, and in the end they also died tragically to the emperor, and in the end they ended up with a bleak end that was blamed by the world." ”

Yang Li was stunned, this was something he didn't expect. The trail in front of him actually reacted so violently on this question, he took a sip of wine, sighed lightly, and said: "Also, if you want to come to the world, which of the many loyal ministers and good generals in the world will not become the king's victims in the end, and which of them can really retire successfully." As he spoke, he raised the wine jug, "Brother crossbow, if there is no longer a gap between the court and the rivers and lakes in the future, I hope we can get together and drink often." ”

The crossbowman raised the pot and said, "That's nature." ”

Immediately, the two touched the pot and drank, and Yang Li suddenly stopped his movements, "Crossbow brother, that crossbow general Qingzhen has nothing to do with you?" ”

The crossbowman didn't speak, and then touched the wine jug, everything was in the wine, where did there be so many problems...
