Chapter 384
The Roche brothers did not return
Sometimes think about it, people are indeed such complex psychology. When everyone thinks that it is a very serious outcome, and you easily resolve it, no one will think that you are a good doctor, but that you are a liar.
On the contrary, some tricky liars, vigorously tossing around, and then getting some "magic prescription", even if it is the last to give people a cup of footwashing water, some people will find it effective.
Su Jinyao is also well versed in the hearts of the world, so she can make such a hand, but in fact, it is also a helpless move.
Knowing the specific reason, Gu Shangqing also felt bored, occasionally chatting with Su Jinyao, and occasionally fiddling with Li Lichen's things.
It's not that the two of them are rare, what treasure hasn't Young Master Gu seen? Su Jinyao was even more lazy to be tempted by these things.
Just by looking at a person's ordinary objects and furnishings, it is easy to understand what kind of personality the person is.
After Su Jinyao looked around, she came to the conclusion that this Li Lichen should be a person who has no knowledge and is a little stubborn, but feels that he is righteous.
It's almost time to see it, and it's time to see it, Su Jinyao released her Divine Gu King and bit Li Lichen's neck.
Then Su Jinyao pulled out one by one the golden needles that had been tied to Li Lichen (shēn) before.
Su Jinyao said softly to Gu Shangqing: "The reason why he sealed his (xué) Dao with a golden needle is not just to prevent the invasion of toxins. The main thing is to make him completely unconscious, so he doesn't know anything about what we just said or did. ”
Gu Shangqing suddenly, smiled slightly, and gently scraped the tip of Su Jinyao's nose.
Then, Gu Shangqing cleared his throat and said loudly: "Jin Yao, are you okay?" It's taken so much energy, so I'll have to rest for a while before leaving. ”
After speaking, he squeezed his eyes at Su Jinyao and made a pretending to be weak (qíng).
Su Jinyao smiled when she saw it, nodded cooperatively, and put away all the golden needles. Go out with Gu Shangqing.
When he came to the door, Gu Shangqing held Su Jinyao's shoulders with one hand and her (shēn) with the other, and took her out half-supported and half-hugged.
The Luo brothers, who had been anxiously guarding the door, saw it and hurriedly greeted them.
Luo Xiang wanted to know how Li Lichen was doing, and asked, "...... is he in charge of Li Da?"
Ron hit him hard with his elbow and said, "Little junior sister, are you okay?" You don't look good. ”
Only then did Luo Xiang understand that on the one hand, he was a friend who had known each other for many years, and on the other hand, he was a disciple of his own master who worshipped his brother, so he couldn't favor one over the other. What's more, Su Jinyao is the one who contributed, they should ask first.
Su Jinyao shook her head, and deliberately leaned on Gu Shangqing's (shēn), and said in a low voice: "It's okay, the poison of Li Da's family has been solved for the time being." However, his poison (rì) is too deep, and it will take a long time to recover. ”
Luo Xiang nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, I know, you also promised Ming Jue's nephew that you would send the antidote one after another." Now that Brother Li is fine, we are also relieved. ”
Ron said sincerely: "Little junior sister, I thank you on behalf of Brother Li." ”
"It's okay, since I am a friend of the two eldest brothers of the Luo family, I should heal with all my heart. Li Da has not woken up yet. But at most an hour will be fully awake. ”
"Alright, let's arrange for you to rest first." Luo Xiang thought about Su Jinyao this time, and said: "Look at it, we came here overnight, and at this time, I didn't sleep all night and didn't eat breakfast." ”
Su Jinyao waved her hand and said, "Forget it, we are really in a hurry, so we won't rest here." I'm really hungry, though. Second Brother Luo, please ask them to prepare some porridge and snacks, and my brother and I will eat a bite and go back first. You two stay here and wait for Master Li to wake up before leaving. We'll meet at the inn when we get back. ”
In fact, Su Jinyao insisted on leaving, but left the Luo brothers behind, so that the Luo brothers could persuade Li Lichen after he woke up.
Maybe Li Lichen can understand his truth, and it is simple to return to himself.
But if Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing stayed here, the Luo brothers would have some things that were not good to say in front of them, but they couldn't leave her aside, it would be more difficult.
Besides, Su Jinyao left first, leaving the Luo family brothers and the Li family father and son to talk, which could be regarded as a matter between them (qíng).
Even if the conversation accidentally collapsed, it was not Su Jinyao's business, she and Gu Shangqing went back first, and they could save a lot of trouble.
It can be said that Su Jinyao's mind is meticulous, and she has already thought about everything before and after (qíng) clearly.
Although the Luo brothers couldn't fully understand what Su Jinyao meant, they were still the apprentices of Tianshan Zhisuo after all, and their brains were not too bad, and they could understand Su Jinyao's concerns, and they secretly felt that Su Jinyao, a little girl, was open-minded.
Therefore, after preparing a simple meal, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing hurriedly ate and left Jinwu Mountain.
The horses of the two people were fast, and it didn't take much time to go back.
When they arrived at the post house, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing, who had been tossing for two days and one night, breathed a sigh of relief.
They asked Xiuning and Dongzi to prepare bath water, and both of them washed up and lay down to make up for sleep
Before going to bed, Su Jinyao specially instructed Xiuning: If the Luo brothers come back, they must wake her up.
However, after sleeping for about two hours, Xiuning did not come to wake up Su Jinyao, but Su Jinyao woke up by herself.
She looked at it and saw that it was already sunset. Then he put on his shoes and shouted, "Xiuning? ”
"Master, I'm here." Xiuning's voice came from the outhouse, and then she ran in, poured warm water into the copper basin, and sent a wet towel to wipe Su Jinyao's face, while saying, "The two masters of the Luo family have not returned, and I have not called the master to rise (shēn). ”
"Where's my brother? Did he get up? Su Jinyao wiped her face and asked about Gu Shangqing's (qíng) situation.
Xiuning nodded and said, "I'm up too." But the master was just a little earlier, and just now I heard Dongzi and Gu Gongzi talking in the next room. ”
Su Jinyao said: "Then you go over and take a look, and if it's convenient, ask him to come over and talk." Then he asked Dongzi to prepare dinner, and by the way, he prepared dry food and went on the road. ”
"Yes." Xiuning agreed and went out.
But as soon as she went out, she saw Gu Shangqing walking out of the next room, and asked, "Xiuning, did I hear you talking to Jinyao?" ”
Xiuning nodded and said, "Yes, my master just got up." He also asked me to come over and ask Gu Gongzi to come over and talk. ”
Gu Shangqing also instructed (shēn) to follow Dongzi to prepare dinner, and Xiuning added: "The master said, and let me prepare dry food for the road by the way." ”
Meet Autumn Shadow
"Road?" Gu Shangqing frowned slightly, and said, "Jin Yao said that she had to travel overnight?" ”
Xiu Ning shook his head and said, "I don't know what the master means. () I don't dare to guess, it's better for Gu Gongzi to go over and speak. ”
Su Jinyao also heard the movement at this time, pushed the door out and said, "Brother, come in and talk." ”
Gu Shangqing agreed, and told Xiuning to pack up his things, Dongzi to prepare dinner and dry food for the road, and he followed Su Jinyao into the house.
Su Jinyao said: "We don't have to wait for the Luo brothers, let's go first." ”
"Jin Yao, do you think they intend to stay in Jinwu Mountain?" Gu Shangqing thought for a while and said, "Li Lichen of Jinwu Mountain doesn't look as good as Feng Jihe of Pingba Mountain, and Feng Xianfeng is an orthodox officer out (shēn), which is completely different from Li Lichen of the bandit out (shēn). This Li Lichen occasionally makes friends who feel righteous and friends; If you get along for a long time, Li Lichen's temper is not very good, can he and the Luo brothers work together for a long time? ”
These are all conclusions drawn by Gu Shangqing and Su Jinyao fiddling with things in Li Lichen's house, and finally analyzed.
Therefore, Gu Shangqing felt that this Li Lichen was a typical violent bandit, and he did not have the style of a general.
Su Jinyao listened, nodded and said, "Because of this, I think the Luo brothers may not be able to drive us in a short time." If you think about it, he wanted the Luo brothers to follow him, but the Luo brothers insisted on refusing. Now if Li Lichen wakes up and learns that we are going to plot against his Jinwu Mountain, will he be willing? ”
Gu Shangqing sneered and said, "Naturally, I am unwilling. So, do you think he's going to hold the Roche brothers? ”
Su Jinyao said: "Based on my calculation time, Li Lichen should have woken up early, and if he was willing to let him go, the Luo brothers would have come back early." The reason why he hadn't seen anyone at this time was because he had forced people to stay, or he was hard to go, in short, he refused to let them leave. ”
Gu Shangqing said: "Then let's leave the Luo brothers alone?" Or do you want us to go back and save it? ”
Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Leave them for a few days, so that he can recognize what kind of person Li Lichen is, and he won't always feel guilty and feel that his elbow is turned out." According to preliminary estimates, when my first batch of antidote is delivered, Li Lichen should release him. Because he would be afraid that the antidote I had in my hand would not be given to him. ”
In fact, people like Li Lichen are actually typical villains, and they can't do anything big at all.
Su Jinyao is now employing people, so this kind of person is also under her umbrella. If there is a choice in the future, a place like Jinwu Mountain can be used, but she will not use it.
If Li Lichen is obedient to the arrangement in the future, if he has different intentions, Su Jinyaosuo (xìng) really accepted this Golden Crow Mountain.
Gu Shangqing also understood what Su Jinyao meant, leaving the Luo brothers there for the time being, there would be no danger, and it could also make them die for Li Lichen, and follow Su Jinyao more wholeheartedly in the future.
After the two of them finished talking, Dongzi and Xiuning also returned. said that the post house had already prepared a meal, and asked Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing to go down to the big living room to eat.
Su Jinyao said: "Let's go together." When you're out and about, don't be too formal. We're done eating, and we're on our way. ”
Xiu Ning said: "Yes, the things have been packed, in fact, there are no big items, it is today that the master went out, and I also went to the street early in the morning to buy a few clothes for the master." The weather is getting colder and colder, and the master's cotton robe is afraid that it is not thick enough. ”
Su Jinyao knew that Xiuning was intimate, smiled slightly, and nodded at her.
Dongzi said again: "Not only does the master have new clothes, but my young master and I also have them." ”
Su Jinyao listened and glanced at Gu Shangqing. I sighed in my heart.
Gu Shangqing is more casual, the person he doesn't have in his heart, even if he is ****, his mind will not move a little.
Dongzi was full of joy, thinking that he also had Xiuning's thoughts, what an upright stupid boy.
The meal is simple and hearty, and there are two (rè) soups, one thick soup and one clear soup, which are warm to drink no matter what flavor you like.
When I was on the way to eat, someone sent a small package, wrapped in oiled paper, saying that it was honey fruit, and it was a snack for the female Klook to relieve her boredom.
Su Jinyao took it and handed it to Xiuning casually, letting her eat it in the carriage.
Gu Shangqing explained to the officials of the post house: "If two guests surnamed Luo come over, tell them to go directly to the capital." Go to the post station that must pass through the capital to find us. ”
After that, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing Ma and Xiuning got out of the car, and Dongzi shook the little whip and took advantage of the afterglow of the sunset.
Although it was almost dark, there was no longer any time to delay.
Moreover, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing both slept all afternoon and recovered their spirits, and it was impossible to lie down and sleep for another night.
It's better to rush to the next place now, and it's too late to put in the store in the middle of the night.
In this way, slowly adjusting the time, the road tried to go as fast as possible, and after walking for two days, Su Jinyao found the mark left by Qiu Ying. In other words, Autumn Shadow has already arrived nearby with people.
That night, Su Jinyao went out alone and dispatched a dozen people brought by Qiu Ying to a team of three people to investigate the distribution (qíng) of large and small cottages and bandit dens along the way.
Any big cottage with more than fifty people that monopolizes an entire mountain can be left to Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing to solve.
The bandits in some other small places are also bandit dens of more than ten or twenty people, either ignore them, or the people under Qiu Ying can be picked directly, and there is no need to say hello to Su Jinyao.
Qiu Ying received the order, and said: "Master, I have seen the prince (diàn) down." However, he can't help himself now, and there are always people watching him around him, so he can't say much. He only said that he would let you go to the capital and discuss with you to stay. ”
Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "It's impossible to go, and you must stay if you stay." Whose thing should be who's. ”
Autumn Shadow nodded and said, "Listen to the master's orders." As for the news from the Ministry of Rites, Autumn Shadow is useless and has never been able to get it. However, later the prince (diàn) also said, let me not startle the snake. ”
Su Jinyao said: "I know, it's not your problem, there must be another reason." The reason why I went to the capital this time to make such a big battle was also to make the cards in my hand a little better and more confident. ”
Then he said: "Later, all the way to the capital, the more you go, the more dangerous it becomes, after the matter (qíng) is arranged, you should try to stay by my side (shēn)." You don't have to do everything (qíng) to do it yourself. ”
Lose at your disposal
Su Jinyao asked Qiu Ying to follow her (shēn), first, Qiu Ying might be the person who directly communicated Su Jinyao and these bandits in the future; Second, the bigger the movement here, the more people in the capital will pay more attention to the situation here.
At that time, I am afraid that someone will think of Su Jinyao's purpose, and it is possible to intervene and try to stop it.
Su Jinyao didn't want to distract the other party's eyesore, Qiu Ying could solve them silently.
Qiu Ying also understood what Su Jinyao meant, and said, "Don't worry, master, Qiu Ying will definitely do her best to guard her master." In addition, there are some people who are rushing to the road, I will pick some good hands, sweep the front and back, and share the worries of the master. ”
Su Jinyao nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. She understands very well that no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible for one person (shēn) alone to defeat the whole world.
And a good team and loyal teammates are the key to her victory.
Su Jinyao went back again, and Gu Shangqing actually knew Qiu Ying.
Qiu Ying also smiled and said, "Young Master of the Gu family, don't come unharmed." ”
"How did you meet?" Su Jinyao was surprised that Qiu Ying and Gu Shangqing spoke in such a tone, it seemed that they had known each other for a long time.
Qiu Ying smiled and said, "As early as when I went to the capital to deliver medicine, I saw the eldest young master of the Gu family. ”
Only then did Su Jinyao remember that Qiu Ying went to send the antidote to the Queen Mother through the Gu family. Otherwise, there is no way to bring the folk medicine directly to the palace.
Gu Shangqing said with a smile: "It's the first time I've found out that a woman is wearing an eye patch, and she is still (tǐng) good-looking." ”
After Gu Shangqing finished speaking, Qiu Ying glared at him. Then he turned his head and stood behind Su Jinyao (shēn), silently.
Su Jinyao didn't expect that Gu Shangqing had scolded Dongzi, and now he had come to scare Qiuying again, how could he be like a fighting, and he would scold everyone on his side (shēn) again?
Since the addition of Autumn Shadow, the cottages and bandit dens of all sizes on the road have been connected to the nests.
Su Jinyao asked Qiu Ying's spies to act in a team of three, in fact, this time Qiu Ying summoned those first-class martial arts masters, as for some of the more sleek and suitable for finding out the news, they still stayed in their respective positions and did not move.
Therefore, these spies are almost equivalent to a group of killers and dead soldiers cultivated by Autumn Shadow. The three of them formed a group to deal with the kind of small village of dozens of people, and a small nest of bandits was not enough for them to fight for half an hour.
The bullies and village tyrants in some places are too ostentatious, and they have also been beaten by these people.
After coming and going, and walking for another five or six days, basically where Su Jinyao and the others passed, the wicked people within a radius of fifty miles knew Su Jinyao's name, and even some places had heard about it and had begun to prepare to escape.
There are also others, who didn't wait for Su Jinyao to look for them, and ran over to beg for mercy and surrender, as if they wanted to wagging their tails after Su Jinyao (shēn) immediately.
This situation was really something that Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing did not expect. The current situation is that there is no need to make too much effort, there are a total of twenty-four groups of people in the three cities and seven counties before and after Su Jinyao and swore allegiance.
However, there are only two teams of truly famous mountain bandits, one team is Liyun Mountain with about 300 people; The first team is more than 100 people, but all of them are strong and strong.
