Chapter 443: Rush to Gangneung City
Late at night in the town of Sheshan, the torrential rain poured, as if the Tianhe River broke the embankment, the rain pillar connected the sky and the earth, in the dark, the heaven and the earth were almost one, suddenly, a man and two horses galloped wildly, breaking through the rain curtain, and the sound of horses' hooves suddenly broke into the town ravaged by the wind and rain.
A light was lit in the backyard of Yu Jitang, and the restless Zhong Yu got up in his clothes, and it rained heavily in the evening, the doors and windows were closed, and the heat in July was unbearable, and the house was stuffy and wet, and even the pillows were dizzy with sweat stains.
"Master!" Zhong Yu was just about to raise his hand to push the window, when he heard Guan Yuan's voice calling him eagerly.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Yu turned around and opened the door, if a patient came to the door so late, it must be an emergency.
"Doctor Zhong!" The soaked stone knelt on one knee and saluted with fists clenched. The rain that was pouring down from his body was on the ground, and he was wet.
"What's wrong!" Zhong Yu saw him coming overnight in such bad weather, and he was stunned, there must have been a great disaster in Jiangling City!
"Ruren...... She was injured, and asked Dr. Zhong to follow me to the capital as soon as possible. Shi was afraid that Zhong Yu would not be able to stand the blow for a while, so he gritted his teeth and endured it, and did not say anything about Du Mei's dangerous injury.
"Where is Meizi now?" Zhong Yu was shocked when he heard this, his body couldn't help shaking, and he barely stabilized and asked.
"The widow is now in the Yanwang Mansion, and the imperial doctor is taking care of him." Stone whispered.
"Guan Yuan, hurry, go prepare the medicine box and bring all the medicines!" Zhong Yu didn't have time to ask Du Mei what injuries she had suffered and why she was injured, he just wanted to rush to her as quickly as possible.
Zhong Yu hurriedly changed his clothes, and Guan Yuan had already prepared two boxes of medicines, including almost all the types of injuries in Yu Jitang.
The stone carefully wrapped the medicine box in three layers of tarpaulin and three outer layers and placed it on the horse, and he did not even have time to drink his own saliva, and got back on the horse.
At this time, the rainstorm outside the house stopped slightly, turning into a drizzle, Zhong Yu did not hesitate to turn over on the horse, turned to Guan Yuan and said, "You go to Dujiagou to pick up your Aunt Du and escort her to Yanwang's mansion." ”
"Okay, I'll go!" Guan Yuan should take a bite.
"You go later, wait until it's almost dawn, be careful when you speak, don't scare your aunt." Zhong Yu looked up at the east, where the chaos was pitch black.
"I know, Master, be careful on the road." Guan Yuan nodded again and again.
"Let's go!" Zhong Yu kicked the horse with the reins, and quickly disappeared into the darkness with the stone.
Xu's right eyelid jumped all day, and the rain and wind were fierce at night, and he slept unsteadily, and his heart was inexplicably frightened.
The sky was a little white, Xu suddenly woke up, she listened to it, outside was the sound of the wind blowing through the elm tree, not Meizi calling her mother.
Xu Shi turned his head to look at Juniper beside him, the room was too stuffy, he kicked off the small blanket, and the sweat on the small coat on his chest was wet.
Xu Shi, who was not sleepy, got up and opened the window, the rainstorm outside had stopped, the cool wind rushed in all of a sudden, Xu Shi who was wearing a thin shirt couldn't help but shiver, in the faint skylight, the courtyard was full of elm leaves, the black girl heard the sound of opening the window, hummed lowly, everything was still the same as usual.
Xu turned around and covered Juniper with a blanket, then went to see Du Tao and Du Gui, opened the window to cover them with blankets, and then turned around and went into the kitchen.
When Guan Yuan came in a carriage, the family in the second room was having breakfast.
"Why are you here so early in the morning? Have you had breakfast? Xu welcomed him in and asked casually.
"Yesterday, Uncle Zhong brought a letter to say, Du Ying missed you, it just so happened that my master was going to visit Imperial Doctor He, so let me take you together to see my senior sister." Guan Yuan lowered his head and said after her.
"This girl doesn't go out often, unlike her sister, who can't run home all day long, and doesn't want me." Xu said with a smile.
"Mother, are you going to Gangneung City?" Du Gui raised his head and asked.
"I'll go for a day or two to see your two sisters, and I'll be back soon." Inexplicably flustered, Xu Shi was not at ease in the end, and wanted to go and see.
"Mother, you go, this is the idle time, everything is okay in the fields, we can take care of the family." Du Tao stood up and said.
"Remember to find your Brother Shu and Aunt Fang if you have something, did you hear that?" Xu touched the heads of his three children one by one and said lovingly.
"Got it." Juniper said like a little adult.
Xu quickly packed a small baggage, and when he went out, he was not at ease, so he went to Fang's house next door to ask for help, and Fang naturally agreed.
Guan Yuan drove the carriage, left Dujiagou, and went straight to Jiangling City without stopping.
The lights in King Yan's mansion were not extinguished all night, although Ruyi could not enter the main courtyard, but she saw that the hot water kept being sent in, and the secret guard looked nervous in and out, she knew that her master must have something very important.
She secretly ordered everyone everywhere to be vigilant, and asked the kitchen to prepare hot water and supper, and she personally went to the gate to guard it, but everyone who came to find King Yan was led in, and the first one to find was the four brothers Lin Zheng.
Chu Lin sat in the study, listening to Lin Zheng's brother talk about Mei Ji's attack and resistance, he had mixed feelings in his heart, not only admiring Du Mei's intelligence and wit in the face of danger, but also feeling sorry for her being isolated and still wanting to save more people's lives, so that he was in danger.
Obviously, the law of the change of guards he sent had already been figured out by the enemy, and they rushed to kill the guards in these two hours, and launched an inevitable attack on Mei Ji, but they didn't expect Du Mei to resist for so long, and they also lost a lot of people.
"The owner doesn't know where she was kidnapped, King Yan, I beg you, save her quickly." Lin Zheng said, knelt down, and the other three also knelt.
"Get up, she is in the palace at the moment, but she is injured, and she is still unconscious." Chu Lin's heart was like a knife, if possible, he would rather be the one who was hit by the arrow than Du Mei.
"What!"
"How so?"
"Is it badly injured?" Hearing this, Brother Lin Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief.
"No matter what, I will save her at all costs, you go and rest first, you will have to take care of Mei Ji after tomorrow!" Chu Lin stretched out his hand to help them.
"Mei Ji is still going to open, we can't miss any of us, the owner promised, she can't leave us!" Lin Dai's tears rolled down.
"No, she'll be back fine!" Chu Lin patted them on the shoulder, these people were all saved by Du Mei with his life, Du Mei was seriously injured and dangerous, it was good to have him alone, but he couldn't let them lose confidence.
The servants outside took the Lin Zheng brothers to the wing room to wash and change clothes, the four of them had just experienced the battle of life and death, and they were worried about Du Mei's injury, they did not feel sleepy at all, and sat and waited for the dawn.
When it was almost dawn, Zhao Ji'an came back and told Chu Lin everything about the situation in Mei Ji, which was the same as what Lin Zheng's brothers said.
"Who the hell did this, did you find out?" Chu Lin asked in a deep voice.
"I brought the swords and arrows of the bandits, they seem to have been prepared, swords are ordinary things, there are many in the blacksmith's shop, it is really difficult to visit, but this arrow does not seem to be used in the army, nor is it like the eunuch's house to guard the house." Zhao Ji'an presented an arrow.
"Mongolian arrows?" Chu Lin twisted the arrow feather and said suspiciously.
Most of the arrow feathers of the Dashun Dynasty are made of pigeon feathers, delicate and light, and the arrow feathers on the hands are clearly a kind of feathers of a big bird, either a big eagle or a harrier eagle, and these two birds, the Dashun Dynasty is not common, but Mongolia is common.
"It must have been the Mongol mission!" Zhao Ji'an clenched his fists angrily.
"This alone is not enough to prove that the prince of Uda is plotting against him, don't forget, this may also be a frame-up!" Chu Lin put the arrow on the table and said calmly.
"Should we arrest them first? lest they run away. Zhao Ji'an asked with a twisted eyebrow.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the post house first, there is no definite evidence for the time being, don't act rashly." Chu Lin waved his hand, and then asked, "Is there anything else you have discovered?" ”
"Those men in black are all dead, a few of them were half-dead by us, and they all committed suicide by gritting the poison in their teeth, and one of the other four people is alive with a dislocated arm, I brought him and is at the Imperial Doctor He." Zhao Ji'an whispered.
"Let's go, go and see, I'm going to interrogate him, what's going on with the Mora Black Lotus Array!" Chu Lin got up and walked out.
"Ahhh In Helian's room, the short and fat man screamed in pain.
Not only did he dislocate his arm, but he also received a sword in his chest, and there were many small injuries in other places, and he was covered in blood, he was tossed and ruthless by Du Mei, and as soon as He Lian touched his arm, he screamed like a pig.
"Are you still an assassin?" He Lian said disdainfully.
"You don't know how cunning that girl is, she relied on the oil, wine, beans, and firewood in the kitchen to kill and injure dozens of us, and then they were caught by us, and there was nowhere to escape, but I don't know what to do, so I took off my arm, and took the opportunity to let those cooks run away......"
"Ahh The short and fat man babbled endlessly, he really couldn't figure out in his heart, how could a girl beat them like this, He Lian took advantage of his inattention, and pushed his arm up with a click, in exchange for a man's howl like killing a pig.
"I think it's better for you to be honest with the Moluo Black Lotus Array." Chu Lin stood outside and listened to the man's words, pushed the door in and said.
"This is King Yan, you'd better not play tricks!" The strong man holding the short and fat man stepped forward and said sternly.
"Search him first, lest he commit suicide by poisoning!" Chu Lin sat majestically at the table.
"I searched before I came, and the strange thing is that only the four of them did not have drugs on them." Zhao Ji'an said in a low voice.
Chu Lin was a little surprised, he glanced at He Lian, who immediately grabbed the short and fat man's wrist and cut his pulse, and the expression on his face changed.
"How?" Chu Lin saw the expression on He Lian's face clearly, and knew that there must be a hidden secret.
"No wonder he didn't hide poison on his body, he was planted with Gu worms a long time ago." He Lian settled on the path of God.
"Gu worms?" Chu Lin frowned and asked, this matter is becoming more and more confusing.
"I don't know what the Black Lotus Array you are talking about, and don't try to make up any Gu worms to scare me, I won't say anything anyway!" The short and fat man was obviously frightened by He Lian's words, and he jumped up and shouted.
"Are you crawling like an ant in your chest right now? When you were about to go out, did someone give you a drink? He Lian looked at him coldly and said calmly.
