Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Chaos Eases (4)
As soon as Huang Lian's front foot left, Xiao Yuexi couldn't wait to say Ling Suihan's words and her own analysis this morning, and at the end, she looked at Wei Chang worriedly and sighed: "Lord Wei, look at the momentum of this mountain rain, can you still make people take a breath?" ”
Wei Chang hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does Madam Xiao really think that Ling Zheng is not credible?" ”
"He's going to do something you can trust!" Xiao Yuexi smiled bitterly, straightened her expression in an instant, and said, "How many of them haven't been smashed in the cellar?" ”
Wei Chang: "Three." ”
"It's all smashed." Xiao Yuexi said firmly. "Let them be anxious, try to force them to transfer the hostages. Let people stare at the neighborhood, it is really a large-scale activity, and it is impossible to leave no trace at all. ”
"Yes." Wei Chang responded kindly, and after a pause, he said again: "The epidemic here has basically stabilized, shouldn't Mrs. ......?"
"Oh yes!" Xiao Yuexi interrupted as if she remembered something. "Lord Wei didn't say that I really forgot, although the epidemic has been controlled, but so far I haven't found out who poisoned it or where, causing the epidemic to spread so quickly, so I still can't relax my vigilance, and those people who Lord Huang ran around and dragged in, so I bothered Lord Wei and Deputy Commander Zhao to check carefully."
"Huh?" Wei Chang was stunned for a moment, obviously what he wanted to say was to ask her to leave the epidemic center and live in Huangfu temporarily? “…… Be. ”
"Also, I wrote a letter to the emperor, don't forget to help bring it when Lord Wei hands over the excerpt, if there is a reply from the emperor in the past two days, I will bother Lord Wei to send someone to run errands."
"Yes."
After sending Wei Chang away, Xiao Yuexi sat in the courtyard and was silent for a long time, and the old monk didn't move for a long time.
The epidemic has just improved a little, Wei Chang has just seemed to have some clues, and she has just stabilized His Majesty the Emperor...... The chaotic situation seemed to finally have a breakthrough and could ease a little, but the dark clouds were still pressing overhead, as if a thunderbolt would fall on their heads and faces at any moment, and people were caught off guard as the situation continued to develop in an uncontrollable direction......
A burst of small footsteps pulled Xiao Yuexi's wandering thoughts back, and when she turned her head, she saw a familiar little boy, rubbing his feet and hesitating to step forward. Although he still looks thin and malnourished, he has not been cleaned up for a few days, and the red rash on his face has faded.
Xiao Yuexi smiled at him, beckoned, and said, "Come here." ”
The boy hesitated, but walked over obediently.
Unexpectedly, Chengfeng also took time to take care of the child in his busy schedule, and the well-fitting shoes, new and clean clothes, neat hair and cheeks all showed that the people who took care of him were very attentive.
Xiao Yuexi habitually wanted to pinch his little face, and only reacted when she touched his cheeks, his sunken cheeks had almost no flesh for her to pinch, not as round and chubby as His Highness the Sixth.
Xiao Yuexi hooked her index finger and rubbed it on his cheek, and asked with a smile: "I haven't even asked, what's your name?" ”
“…… Peaceful. The boy buzzed like a mosquito, but fortunately, Xiao Yuexi was deaf and clear-sighted, so he heard it.
The smile on her face softened: "It seems that your illness has been cured?" ”
Ping An nodded and whispered, "Thank you, Mrs. Xiao." ”
"Eh, thank me for what? I want to thank you, and I should thank the doctor who has been working all night to dispense medicine for you and save you. Xiao Yuexi picked up the fluttering little Ping'an, picked up the pears on the table and handed them to him.
Xiao Ping'an was even more cramped and uneasy, lying in Xiao Yuexi's arms, he didn't dare to breathe, and said sullenly: "Although Brother Chengfeng didn't say it, I can feel that you are really good to us." ”
Such a young child is as discerning as a torch! Xiao Yuexi thought happily in her heart, she was very happy to be coaxed by these rather simple words, and her tone became brisk: "Brother Chengfeng!" Is he good to you? So affectionately called? ”
Ping An nodded vigorously and said firmly: "We were a little afraid of him at first, but Brother Chengfeng was very patient and treated us very well. ”
"You guys?" Xiao Yuexi glanced at him suspiciously.
Ping'an: "Hmm! Brother Chengfeng found a lot of children like me, some of them are not cured, so we take care of each other, and he also teaches us to read......"
Speaking of Chengfeng, Ping'an's eyes became brighter, a little less cowardly, chattering about the experience of the past few days, Xiao Yuexi pieced together one thing - Chengfeng was cultivating these children according to the standards of Zangfeng Pavilion.
Although he didn't know if this was his own initiative or the result of discussion with Mu Yunqing, Xiao Yuexi felt that this was a good method. It can be said that it can be said that it can be the best of both worlds to settle them and make the best use of them.
The most important thing is that when Xiao Yuexi originally planned to settle these orphaned young sons, the first thing that came to mind was Zangfeng Pavilion.
"Madame!" Su Su ran in in a hurry, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the boy in Xiao Yuexi's arms, but he didn't bother to ask, and hurriedly said: "Lord Chengfeng, please hurry up, there is something new!" ”
Xiao Yuexi almost jumped up and threw out the little peace in his arms, and finally suppressed his impulse, lowered his head and said to him softly: "I still have something to do, I can't play with you, if you want to see me in the future, you can come at any time, don't be afraid." ”
Sending off Ping'an, Xiao Yuexi couldn't delay any longer, and strode to find Chengfeng.
Chengfeng was standing outside the kitchen with an iron face, facing the people who were tied into rice dumplings on the ground.
The man had very good eyes, and he was not dressed like a patient or a volunteer in the hospital. At this time, he looked unlucky and unlucky, and he didn't bother to raise his head, as if he was resigned to fate.
"Ma'am." Chengfeng first saluted Xiao Yuexi, and then said in a deep voice: "My subordinates have seen this person, as early as two days ago, he was very suspicious around the epidemic center, and his subordinates kept a heart and did not startle the snake, and sure enough, today he blocked him from drugging the big pot of rice that the cook made for the people." ”
Xiao Yuexi glanced at the people on the ground, and then asked, "What about Imperial Doctor Li?" Did you find out what the drug was? ”
Chengfeng: "I sent it to investigate, but there is no conclusion from Imperial Doctor Li." ”
If it was really the rotten bones that were close to legend, and nothing could be found without some experiments, Xiao Yuexi set his eyes on the bundle of zongzi on the ground.
The zongzi had a face that was neither handsome nor ugly, medium in size, and thin, poking at that at this time, he poked it unfazedly, with a fearless spirit of "who can take me", feeling Xiao Yuexi's sight, and smiling fearlessly.
“…… I understand. Xiao Yuexi was silent for a while, and suddenly said such a sentence without beginning or end.
Chengfeng was stunned, and looked at her in confusion, and even the face of the zongzi showed a trace of doubt.
Xiao Yuexi ignored them and said to herself: "So calm, I think your mission this time is to be caught by us, right?" ”
In a word, Chengfeng, who had been entrusted by Xiao Yuexi before, reacted instantly, but Zongzi's face changed.
"Hmm...... Let me guess. Xiao Yuexi didn't seem to notice the mood swings of the zongzi at all, and said to herself: "I accidentally found the right direction, you boss can't sit idly by, so I rushed to launch a cannon fodder to attract my attention......"
Zongzi shook his hand that was tied by the rope behind him, and he didn't know what knot Chengfeng was tying, and the more he struggled, the tighter he became.
He was about to open his mouth to argue, but Xiao Yuexi preemptively said: "Of course, a cannon fodder level person like you definitely doesn't know what your boss is thinking, and more likely, you don't even know what he looks like, right?" ”
Zongzi struggled for a while and saved his strength, looked at Xiao Yuexi with a sneer, and said, "Do you think I will tell you?" ”
The corners of Xiao Yuexi's eyes curved, and she asked very lightly: "Do you think I will believe what you say?" ”
"Ride the wind."
"The subordinates are here."
Xiao Yuexi said calmly: "If the masked person in the bandits' den is their leader and the mastermind behind the assassination of me several times, then this person may not have as much weight as the dead soldiers who assassinated me. ”
"Ahh
Xiao Yuexi naturally wouldn't be hit headlong by him, but she wouldn't be hit by a messy head in the water, and she took a slight wrong step to the side and dodged his attack. He was already tied up very strongly, and at this moment he hit it and used all his strength, and he couldn't control the momentum and threw himself directly to the ground, his face hit the ground first, and he broke a layer of skin.
"Wow! You're weirdly thin-skinned. Xiao Yuexi sneered without sympathy.
I don't know which string Xiao Yuexi inadvertently tore off of him, he threatened to kill all the people here with a fierce look in his mouth, but his body trembled very much.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuexi interpreted his meaning very "empathetically": "Oh-I understand! You bumped into my hands, it is the surface meaning, the main purpose, is to divert our attention, right? ”
The man didn't speak, just stared at Xiao Yuexi with resentment.
It's a pity that you can't kill people with just your eyes, Xiao Yuexi continued indifferently: "Look at your reaction, if you can't complete the task, what is the price?" ”
Now the zongzi was about to eat people, he squirmed twice on the spot, was stepped on by the wind and couldn't move, his neck twisted into an extremely weird angle, staring at Xiao Yuexi deadly, as if he wanted to chew her up.
Xiao Yuexi looked at it calmly, without the slightest fluctuation on her face. She said slowly: "As far as I know, they have a lot of hostages in their hands, forcing them to work hard for them. But you certainly won't be one of them, because it's easy to be recognized by the patients in the epidemic. ”
