Chapter 9: Cinnabar Mole (6)
The blood on her hands made her and the man with his head on her knees anxious and miserable, watching his life go by and she could do nothing.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came, and she immediately looked around, and there were two horses running in her direction. The four princes and the fifth prince came down immediately, and when they saw Gu Peiqing and Hongsi covered in blood, their expressions changed. The fourth prince immediately checked Gu Peiqing's injuries and took out the hemostatic medicine, "Give him to me, and I'll bandage him." The girl took her hand away, and the fifth prince took a few steps behind them and picked up the arrow that injured Gu Peiqing. He glanced at the tail of the arrow, and said to the fourth prince as if he was about to face a catastrophe: "Fourth brother, it seems to be my arrow, what should I do, he won't die." ”
"It's okay, he's bruised, although the wound is a little deep, but we came in time, we should not worry about our lives."
"Really?" The girl's face regained a little blood, and the fifth prince's face softened slightly.
"I thought I had a big deal today."
"I told you to see clearly and then shoot arrows, there are more than wild beasts in this forest. When you go back, you will inevitably be scolded by your father again, and the scolding is still light, but I am afraid that you will not be allowed to leave your Yangxiu Palace for a month. As he spoke, the fourth prince skillfully began to bandage Gu Peiqing.
That medicine is a royal hemostatic drug, the effect is amazing, the fourth prince finished bandaging, and asked the fifth prince to carry Gu Peiqing to the horse. "Xuandao, you protect him, ride slowly, be careful that the wound is cracked again." The fifth prince nodded and wrapped Gu Peiqing in his arms, although it was a bit strange for the two old men to act like this, as long as Gu Peiqing was safe and sound, the five princes were willing to do anything.
The fourth prince pointed to Gu Peiqing's horse and said, "Feiming, is the white horse this prince's?" You can take it back with you. ”
"Feiming, who is this son? Why haven't I seen him? The fourth prince saw her worried look and wanted to talk to her for a while to relieve her.
"Gu Peiqing." Her voice was as small as a mosquito, and she was clearly exhausted. The four princes naturally knew about Gu Peiqing, although he hadn't seen it, but he remembered that he had been appreciated by the saint before, and he went directly to the city to be an official before passing the imperial examination, and on the way to the city, he also broke a case disguised as suicide, although Gu Peiqing is still in the city and is a petty official who is not worth mentioning, but if he starts to win over now, it may be of great benefit to his entry into the East Palace in the future. The fourth prince has already made up his mind after thinking about it, and he must pull him into his camp no matter what.
"What are you doing in this wood? It wasn't supposed to be hunting, so I didn't bring anything. He continued to ask.
"Come and see what Lord Qi is doing in this forest."
"Lord Qi is also here?"
"yes, but I don't know where she went."
The fourth prince stopped his horse and said to the fifth prince, Wang Xuandao and Shen Feiming, "You go back first, and I'll go find the county lord of Qi." With that, he rode his horse back.
Out of the forest, the sun sprinkled down, Shen Feiming felt a little warm feeling on her body, she and the five princes did not speak all the way, they were all frightened, until this light wrapped the three of them, the five princes saw Gu Pei Qing's lips recover some blood, more relieved, and then said: "Feiming, I'm really sorry." ”
"What do you apologize to me? You should apologize to Master Gu. ”
"When he wakes up, I will apologize to him, do you know this Lord Gu, what does he like? When I come to apologize, I can bring exactly what he likes. ”
"Probably the book of the Dream Leaf Layman."
"You have a really good relationship with him," the fifth prince looked at Gu Peiqing in his arms again, "Don't say it, he's quite handsome." I heard that he was a detective from Qingcheng. ”
"How can I be a detective, and I always thought I was a red silk girl."
"You? Red Silk Girl? The fifth prince also seemed to have heard a little about the Red Silk Girl, "Lord Gu really thinks differently than ordinary people." ”
As soon as Gu Peiqing opened his eyes, he only felt that the world was spinning, and after returning to his god for most of the day, he vaguely felt that the tent was not shaking. His hand was tightly grasped, and it was Su Xian's big hand that was holding his hand over there, he quickly pulled out his hand, Su Xian had fallen asleep on the edge of his bed, this action made Su Xian wake up in a daze. He looked at Gu Peiqing sleepily, and was stunned for a moment before realizing that Gu Peiqing had woken up, and he was about to hug him when he opened his arms, Gu Peiqing hurriedly stretched out his arm to block it, "Don't come close to me, I'm an injured person now." ”
"I'm worried about death, the imperial doctor said that the wound is a little deep, but fortunately the bleeding stopped in time, otherwise it would not be saved. The saint was furious, and severely reprimanded the five princes, and punished him for copying scriptures for a month. The Holy One also came to see you, but you were still unconscious at that time, and the Holy One said that he would give you two months of rest, and that he would give you two thousand taels of silver for you to take care of. By the way, the county lord of Qi also came to see you, Xinyue and Fei Ming are here, the county lord of Qi seems to have quarreled with Fei Ming, the goddess detective Shen Feiming said that she came to take over the case of the injury of the county lord of Qi, and the county lord of Qi also told her to be nosy. ”
"Detective?"
"That's all folk rumors, that girl read the file of a decapitated case when she was fifteen years old, and put forward her own opinion, the waiter of the criminal department who was anxious about the case solved the case, and praised her for being smart and a goddess detective, what kind of goddess detective can she be, isn't it just that a blind cat ran into a dead mouse, she loves to run around, Shen Xiang doesn't care about her, let her go, she should be a female walker."
"Lord Qi is back?"
"Do you know where she went? Anyway, it was brought back by the fourth prince, and he didn't lack arms or legs, so he should be fine, and he still has the strength to quarrel with Shen Feiming. ”
Gu Peiqing didn't mention the red silk girl for half a sentence when he heard him speak, and asked a little strangely, "Who sent me back?" ”
"Fifth prince, you are quite a bird in his arms."
"Let's stop talking."
"Lord Qi is very mysterious, I heard Xinyue say, she was digging earthworms in the backyard with Cui Yan in Songxin Mansion, digging a jar of earthworms, asking her why she did this without saying anything, and brought the earthworm to the hunting ground. Is the Lord of Qi County evil, she has to find a master outside the world to exorcise evil for her. ”
Earthworm? Gu Peiqing pondered, these strange behaviors of Lord Qi really didn't make sense. Su Xian saw that he didn't speak, thinking that he was tired, and said, "You sleep for a while, I won't accompany you at night, I'm going to go to the play." ”
"Play?"
"That's the best opera troupe in the city specially ordered by the saint, Liangyou's class, to sing "The Wind Howling", have you seen it when you were in Qingcheng? It is said that there are many troupes that sing this play. However, the Liangyou class is very creative, when performing the scene of the death in battle, they put a particularly light dough in the mouth of the person who plays the soldier, and the red juice is breaded in it, and when they bite the dough when they fall to the ground, the juice will flow out of the corner of the mouth, as if vomiting blood, which makes people feel the tragic atmosphere. ”
Gu Peiqing had naturally seen it, but it was the first time he had heard of a performance like that of the Liangyou class. "The Wind Howling" is about the fighting army guarding the homeland and fighting with the enemy, but all of them died on the battlefield, but the spirit of fighting with all their strength did not die, they all turned into heroic spirits, guarded their own land, and watched the people live and work in peace and contentment again, and went to Huangquan one by one with peace of mind. Although sad, it is morale-boosting.
"I'll go to bed first, will you go out for a bite to eat or go around?" Gu Peiqing just wanted to be quiet now.
Su Xian bothered and said, "I'll go out for a walk, it's quite tiring to guard you." There is a book next to your bed, which I took from Crescent, and she said that it was given to her by the lord of the county two days ago, and that she would see it when she came to the hunting ground. ”
Gu Peiqing's heart was full of gratitude for a while, Su Xian had always treated him very well, like a brother, but his real blood brother made him feel far away. Su Xian slowly walked out of the tent with a folding fan in one hand, looking like a dashing boy.
Gu Peiqing touched the book, and his curiosity made him flip through it, all of which were poems and articles that expressed his willingness to serve the country and had great ambitions, flowing smoothly and full of personal thoughts, which were much more pleasing to the eye than those splendid articles. Wu Yueran? Gu Peiqing took a closer look at another article, Guozijian Siye can write such a good article, and it is really condescending to be a Siye.
I don't know how long I have been appreciating the article, the tent curtain was opened, Gu Peiqing cautiously turned his head sideways, and saw that it was Hongsi walking towards him. "I heard Master Su say that you are awake, I will come to see you."
"Miss Redsilk, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"If you hadn't pushed me away in time, the arrow would have pierced me, not like it is now."
"You make a lot of sense when you say that, I saved your life, you have to remember it."
