At the end of the first month, it was the early spring season, everything was renewed, and it was the most suitable time to go out, but it was wet in the south and cold in the north, and Xie Zheng still wore a slightly thin cloak.

She took the jade branch to the former site of Dongwu Stone City, which was on Shicheng Mountain.

The mountain is not high, and the two of them climbed up, and their faces were not red or panting.

Xie Zheng was standing on the mountain, overlooking the water of the Yangtze River at the bottom of the mountain, when he suddenly heard a joke not far away: "Madame is so Yaxing!" ”

Hearing this, Xie Zheng didn't have to follow the sound to see who it was, she didn't seem to have heard it, neither answered, nor turned her head to look at him.

Shen Wenhe walked slowly from the east, and then said: "The scenery of Shicheng Mountain is already beautiful, and a beautiful woman like Mrs. is here, which is even more beautiful. ”

Xie Zheng finally glanced at him sideways, she looked at him from head to toe with disdain, and then turned around and walked to the west, Shen Wenhe was still walking leisurely, and when he saw that she was leaving, he called: "Madame, don't go, why do you see that your husband is here, and you want to avoid it like this." ”

Shen Wenhe went up the mountain alone, and Sun Wei was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain guarding the ox cart.

Xie Zheng listened to him call his wife, and stopped impatiently to look back at him, Yuzhi also stopped, and she said to Shen Wenhe: "Shen Shilang is so rude, my lady has not yet left the cabinet, let alone married you, what do you mean by calling my lady 'madam' when you open your mouth!" ”

Shen Wenhe looked careless, and said with a smile: "She is the one who greeted me with three books and six ceremonies, I don't call her 'madam', so what should I call her?" ”

"Shen Shilang can figure it out, I'm not your wife," Xie Zheng stood opposite, although his words were calm as water on the surface, but his words seemed like a rainbow.

Shen Wenhe didn't stop for a moment, still approaching Xie Zheng, he chuckled and said, "You look exactly like my wife, and even your posture and posture are the same as my wife, why aren't you my wife." ”

Xie Zheng was furious, and when Shen Wenhe walked up to her, she couldn't help but say anything, raised her hand and slapped her, and said very calmly: "If Shen Shilang insults me like today, it won't be as simple as a slap in the face." ”

After saying that, she walked in the direction of the east in a very dashing manner, following the way she had come.

Shen Wenhe received Xie Zheng's slap, and before he could recover his senses, he only felt a hot pain on his cheeks, and slowly raised his hand to cover his cheeks, but he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while.

He turned around and looked at Xie Zheng's figure as he walked farther and farther, thinking in his heart, she was also such a fierce person, and this slap fanned over, that kind of technique and strength, including feeling, were indeed exactly the same as Mrs.

Xie Zheng and Yuzhi had already walked about ten zhang away, and Yuzhi said in a low voice: "Lady, this Shen Wenhe, I insist on the identity of the lady, if he mentions it with others, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the lady." ”

"He won't mention it easily, even if he does, there is no evidence, he pointed at me and said that I am Xie Yu, who will believe it?" Xie Zheng said lightly, and didn't seem to care.

Suddenly, Shen Wenhe screamed behind him, and the master and servant turned around, only to see Shen Wenhe sitting on the ground, with his back to them, and kept moving his body back, and in front of him, two masked men in black were killing him with swords.

Xie Zheng couldn't let Shen Wenhe lose his life, so he panicked in his heart, and was about to rush over, but Yuzhi was sensible, and hurriedly pulled her back, and only said: "Don't panic, don't panic, slave go and save him!" ”

Seeing that the two black-clothed men were about to stab Shen Wenhe with their swords, as soon as Yuzhi raised his arms, two sleeve arrows flew out of his sleeves, smashing the long swords in the hands of the two black-clothed men impartially.

Seeing Yuzhi fighting with the man in black, Shen Wenhe ran to Xie Zheng and hid behind her, frightened, and only said, "Madame, you want to save me!" ”

Xie Zheng didn't bother to say much to him, so he ignored him.

The two black-clothed men are both extraordinary, and they are on par with Yuzhi, and they have been robbed of the sword in their hands by Yuzhi, one was cut by her sword and collapsed on the ground, and the other fled when he saw the situation.

Xie Zheng also walked over, Shen Wenhe was shocked, hesitated for a moment before following behind Xie Zheng and walking over in fear.

Yuzhi threw one of the swords on the ground, leaving only the other, pointed it at the fallen assassin, put the sword against his throat, and rebuked, "Who ordered you to come!" ”

The assassin did not answer, but took advantage of the jade branch's unpreparedness, flew and spun, picked up the sword on the ground, and killed the jade branch, who was unable to defend himself, and although he hurriedly retreated, he was still scratched on the cheek by the blade.

At that time, Xie Zheng came over, and in a hurry, he didn't care about Shen Wenhe watching from the sidelines, so he snatched the sword from Yuzhi's hand and stabbed at the assassin, which happened to stab the assassin in the abdomen.

Yuzhi had a tingling pain on her cheeks, she reached out and touched it, but she touched the blood on her hand, although she often teased herself for being a rough person, but in the end she was still a daughter, how could she not care about her appearance, she stared at the blood on her hands, and her eyes widened in shock.

Xie Zheng solved the assassin, and immediately turned around to support the jade branch, and called: "Jade branch!" ”

Yuzhi raised her eyes, looked at her in disbelief, and said with a slight cry: "Lady, the slave's face ......"

"It's okay, it's okay," Xie Zheng held the jade branch in one hand, and gently wiped the snow on her face with a handkerchief in the other, comforting: "Don't worry, I'll take you to Tao Hongjing, he has excellent medical skills, and he will never let you have a scar on your face!" ”

Yuzhi had tears in his eyes, and only nodded at Xie Zheng, Xie Zheng immediately pulled her down the mountain, Shen Wenhe didn't pity Yuzhi for being scratched in the face in order to save him, and now he still only cares about himself, he called Xie Zheng, and when he saw that Xie Zheng should not, he turned his head and glanced around, for fear that two more people would come out nearby to kill him, so he hurriedly followed down the mountain, got into the ox cart, and urged Sun Wei: "Hurry up, go quickly!" Come on! ”

Xie Zheng's car was parked a little far away at the foot of the mountain, the master and servant walked outside the carriage, Xie Zheng helped Yuzhi into the car, and he sat on the seat of the wheel, and drove to the direction of the city.

The carriage drove into the woods not far from the West Fence Gate, and Xie Zheng saw that he was about to enter the city, so he whipped again and wanted to enter the city quickly, "Drive!" ”

Unexpectedly, a man in red clothes suddenly fell from the sky in front of him, facing Xie Zheng head-on, Xie Zheng was afraid that the carriage would hit him, but the man was not afraid at all, seeing that he was already approaching, Xie Zheng hurriedly grabbed the reins and shouted: "Huh-"

The person who came was Chen Qingzhi, a lieutenant of the Northern Army, with his feet slightly open, his arms crossed in front of his chest, and a knife in his arms, looking at Xie Zheng with great interest, and said with a smile: "The county lord of Shanyin is in such a hurry, where are you going?" ”

Xie Zheng was so anxious that he naturally didn't have the heart to deal with him, but just reprimanded: "I'm in a hurry to enter the city, why did Lieutenant Chen stop me from going!" ”

"It's not too late, if you want to enter the city, you don't have to rush for a while, the next official comes, there is something I don't understand, I want to ask the county lord of Shanyin."

Xie Zheng was quite impatient, and said: "Right now, I have something important to do, and I can't delay for a moment, if there is any problem, let's talk about it another day." ”

After she said that, she pulled the reins again, wanted to wave them, and then said, "Please give way to Lieutenant Chen." ”

After hearing this, Chen Qingzhi no longer concealed it, simply held the knife, pointed directly at Xie Zheng, and said with a smile: "The lower official wants to learn from the county lord of Shanyin." ”

Although the knife was not unsheathed, the blade was pointed at Xie Zheng through the scabbard, coupled with Chen Qingzhi's sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his eyes were sharp, and Xie Zheng felt threatened from a distance of two or three feet.

She secretly clenched her fists, Yuzhi lifted the curtain, revealing half of her face, and reminded in a low voice: "Lady, you can't go, beware of letting him grab the handle." ”

Xie Zheng thought about it, and finally let go, and said to Chen Qingzhi: "Lieutenant Chen, I remember that the last Lantern Festival, you made an rude request with me, and today you inexplicably stopped me from going to the road, and I had to be an unarmed weak woman to compete with you in martial arts, I Xie Zheng asked myself if I have no grudges with you Lieutenant Chen, but I don't know why you have embarrassed me several times!" ”

Chen Qingzhi put away the knife in his hand and replied: "Oh, the county lord of Shanyin is really a noble person, on the twelfth night of the first lunar month, you once kicked the lower official, have you forgotten this matter?" ”

He wasn't a wicked person, and he didn't mean to come to Xie Zheng for trouble, but he couldn't get angry that Xie Zheng kicked him...... Kick his ...... doesn't admit defeat in the hands of a woman, so naturally I want to compete with her.

Xie Zheng naturally remembered that she was indeed ashamed of Chen Qingzhi, but since Chen Qingzhi had no evidence, how could she admit it, she said: "What kind of nonsense did Lieutenant Chen say, I only met you once, or at the Lantern Festival, as for the twelfth day of the first lunar month, I don't know." ”

Chen Qingzhi then took two steps closer to Xie Zheng, and said bluntly: "The voice of the county lord, the lower official remembers it very clearly, the lower official did not intend to seek revenge today, but just wanted to compete with the county lord and discuss whether he won or lost." ”

Xie Zheng was extremely angry, already annoyed, she reprimanded: "Chen Qingzhi! You block my way, treat me rudely, I respect you as a lieutenant in the Northern Army, don't worry about you, but you don't want to get an inch! ”

Originally, when he saw Xie Zheng talking softly and gently, Chen Qingzhi dared to talk to her more, but now that she was angry at him, he was stunned, and Yuzhi also poked his head out, Chen Qingzhi saw Yuzhi covering his face with a handkerchief, and the handkerchief was full of blood, Fang knew that Yuzhi's face was hurt, he hurriedly retreated to the side of the road, gave way to Xie Zheng, and said guiltily: "Xia Guan doesn't know that the county lord is in a hurry to enter the city this time to seek medical treatment, and he is offended by the right talent, please forgive the county lord." ”

Xie Zhengzheng was angry, so he naturally didn't want to pay attention to him, so he waved the reins and went straight to the city.

Yuzhi held on to the door frame of the carriage and sat firmly inside, thinking about what Chen Qingzhi said about the twelfth day of the first month, he was very puzzled, so he asked: "Lady, you and Chen Qingzhi ......"

Without waiting for Yuzhi to ask, Xie Zheng explained to her completely.

Not long after, the two rushed to Tao Hongjing's mansion, Xie Zheng helped Yuzhi into the mansion, it happened that Tao Hongjing was in the mansion, he recognized Xie Zheng, and hurriedly greeted him, Xie Zheng hurriedly said: "Mr. Tao, my sister accidentally scratched her face, you can take a look." ”

Tao Hongjing walked towards Xie Zheng and Yuzhi, and on the other hand, he ordered his subordinates to take his medicine box, he saw that Yuzhi's wound was slightly blackened, his brows furrowed, and he secretly thought that it was not good.

Xie Zheng was uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”

Tao Hongjing smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, the county lord doesn't have to worry." ”

"Will there be a scar?" Xie Zheng asked again, Tao Hongjing said: "The wound is shallow, I have jade cream here, if you use it well, it will not leave a scar." ”

As he spoke, he dispensed medicine for Yuzhi, Xie Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." ”

The subordinate brought clean water, Xie Zheng personally picked up a handkerchief and cleaned the wound of Yuzhi, Yuzhi was slightly painful, and "hissed", Xie Zheng was busy and careful.

Tao Hongjing also happened to adjust the jade face paste and immediately applied it to her.

The jade face ointment, Xie Zheng had used it, the ointment was milky, but Tao Hongjing rubbed it on the face of the jade branch, but it was gray-brown, Xie Zheng couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and remembered that Tao Hongjing's face was wrong, and his heart was worried again.

After Tao Hongjing put a jade cream on the jade branch, Xie Zheng immediately gave him a look, and then got up and walked outside the guest hall.

Xie Zheng walked farther, glanced back at Yuzhi again, and saw that she did not follow, so he said to Tao Hongjing: "Mr. Tao seems to have something to say to me." ”

Tao Hongjing smiled and asked, "Dare to ask the county lord, I hurt your sister, but the sword?" ”

"Yes," Xie Zheng became more and more worried, Tao Hongjing said bluntly: "The sword is poisonous, the amount is small, it is not fatal, and the county lord sent it in time, it is indeed no big problem, but it is ......."

Xie Zheng exclaimed: "Will it leave a scar?" ”

Tao Hongjing shook his head and said, "It's not enough to leave a scar, but I added a detoxification medicine to the jade face ointment, and that flavor medicine, after being applied, will leave a black mark, I'm afraid it will ......."

No wonder the jade cream is gray-brown!

Xie Zheng was stunned and said: "Mr. Tao, my sister is a beauty-loving person, she has left a mark on her face, she will be sad, not to mention that she will marry someone in the future, and her appearance will be ruined, won't she be disliked?" If you want to think about it, see if you can fade the mark, if you can cure it, Deyin will be grateful! ”

Tao Hongjing sighed and replied: "The county lord is serious, the doctor's parents are hearty, why doesn't Tao want to cure her face, but if you want to detoxify, the only way is to use this medicine, there is no other way." ”

Xie Zheng felt sorry in his heart, and whispered to himself: "They all blame me...... They all blame me......"

If she hadn't insisted on sparing Shen Wen and the dog's life, Yuzhi would have rushed up to save him, and if Yuzhi hadn't saved him, he wouldn't have been scratched in the face......

While the two were talking, Yuzhi also walked over quietly, and she heard what Tao Hongjing said, word for word.

Xie Zheng turned his head sideways, saw her standing there, and was stunned, "Yuzhi ......"

Yuzhi lowered her eyebrows, as if to hide her loss, she then raised her eyes to look at Xie Zheng, and smiled at her: "It's okay, a slave is a rough person, and he doesn't care about his appearance." ”

Xie Zheng walked over and took her hand, frowned, and said, "It's better for me to take you to Maoshan and find Mr. Sun, maybe he has a way." ”

Yuzhi forced a smile and said: "Lady, the slave doesn't care about this face, you are still worried about what to do, if someone takes a knife and cuts the slave's face twice, the slave will not say much, Zuo is just afraid of pain." ”

After she finished speaking, she smiled at Xie Zheng again, and then waved to Tao Hongjing, and then waved the small bottle in her hand, and said happily: "There is an order from Doctor Lao to save me, this bottle of jade face ointment, the slave took it." ”

Tao Hongjing smiled in his eyes and nodded, and Yuzhi pulled Xie Zheng away.
