The Journey Ahead (II) (Part II)

"You're talking nonsense, my father died in battle."

"Hahahaha, what a strange news, if he hadn't been hollowed out by your mother, drained of his blood, and didn't let him go before he went to the battlefield, so that he was out of energy, and the famous mountain tiger Li Leopard would have been shot to death with a bow and arrow on the battlefield?"

"You are talking nonsense, she is the most distressed about my father, how could she."

"Cut, it's not necessarily your father, maybe she accidentally had you when she was cultivating with a wild man."

"You talk nonsense!"

"Okay, there's no point in fighting for that, you do things well, you want as many men as you want. If you want what you like, you have to do good deeds, and the master will naturally arrange it for you. ”

"Who are you?"

Yiyan didn't answer her, but she seemed to be tired of playing with the pile of meat, covered her with a quilt in disgust, and wiped her hands on the quilt: "Wordless flowers, it's really good, a man who steals beauty in the dark moon and the wind at night, whether married or unmarried." If the unmarried are lucky, one night or several nights, the worst is to die of exhaustion, and if the married person has the act of protecting his wife and children, his wife and children will be beaten and tortured. It's just that I've done too many evil things, and it's inevitable that I'll miss, One night the eldest prince of Chengfu, who was caring for his wife, scratched his forehead with a hairpin and left a scar. It's a pity, you don't dare to tell Tang Xinjie the truth, otherwise, he is a master of healing, I'm afraid that you won't leave this scar. ”

Fang Yan looked at her with wide eyes, if it weren't for the injuries she had today, she was only afraid that the sword was out of the sheath at this moment, but what was the identity of this county lord, she actually knew everything she thought was secret.

"Don't be nervous, and don't care how I know. You are just too stupid and greedy, you can't pull Du Chong into the water with such a good opportunity today, and you have worked hard to help you play for most of the day. Anyway, you have to take down Du Chong tonight anyway, otherwise you will go to your Xinqiang cousin's bed tomorrow night. Then the men you stole in Luoyang will come out and testify against you. ”

"Don't!"

"Don't just take down Du Chong obediently, someone will pick you up in his yard at dusk, Du Chong will definitely practice with Tang Xinjie tonight, and when the time comes, someone will naturally open the door of his courtyard for you, you can do it yourself."

"Who the hell are you?"

"You don't have to worry about it, do what you have to do, and enjoy it at night on the Du Chong bed."

"And then? What other commands does the master have? ”

Yi Yan smiled, Fang Yan was smart, as long as she said the task, she would definitely be sure that she was sent by her master.

"To gain Du Chong's trust, it is best to let him marry you, if you don't marry you, you have to find ways to get close to him in the past few months. Try to check if he has any changes, and report his movements to the master at any time. You don't have to do anything else. Show your skills and trap men well. ”

With that, Yiyan clapped her hands, stood up, and floated away.

Fang Yan closed her eyes helplessly, tears kept rolling down, Brother Jie, why couldn't he accept her? If Brother Jie can accept her, why should she go to other men, who are his stand-ins. Maybe it's an injury, maybe it's the effect of the medicine, Fang Yan thought about it and gradually fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already sunset, and her girl came in to freshen up her and get her some food and medicine. I have to say that the woman of the Bai family is quite skilled in medical skills, and since she was injured in the morning, she feels that she has not only recovered a lot of physical strength. After eating, I felt more energetic after taking medicine.

After packing up everything, the big girl next to her, Lily of the Valley, asked everyone else to go out, and helped her to lie down: "Girl, let's sleep again, when Miss Cousin left a prescription in the morning, she said that this medicine is to replenish blood and qi, and you have to sleep more to recover quickly." He also left a wound medicine for the slave to change it for you every day. Just when I changed the dressing for you, the slave saw that the wound had been closed. As long as there is no big movement, it will scab over after two days. ”

Fang Yan didn't answer, she knew the hilt of her own sword, she didn't poison it, she didn't pull it out hard, the lethality was not great, and the wound was not serious. In the morning, the anesthetic effect of incense had passed, and her own strength had almost recovered. Tang Xinyang and Du Chong could see the hilt of the sword clearly the moment she made a move, but they were really not ordinary masters. If she can be with this kind of man on an ordinary day, she likes it, but as a task, it's a different matter, and this kind of master is something that Yiyan or the master behind it can easily calculate? I don't know how to get it at night. She thought about it for a while, the master can even drive the county lord Yiyan, which shows that the high status is not something she can resist. In the morning, Du Chong would rather watch her seriously injured than make a move, lest he would be unable to get out of her reputation if he adhered to her, and how could he get it at night? If she can't do it, what will be the punishment given to her by her master? To be honest, she had only seen his back in a cloak, and only once, and she didn't know anything about him. A wave of fear of the unpredictable and uncontrollable future hit her, and she trembled slightly.

Lily of the valley noticed the change in her: "Girl, is there something uncomfortable?" The eldest young master has already sent a doctor on duty in the wing, do you want them to come in and take a look at you. ”

Fang Yan shook her head: "Comb my hair and change my clothes." ”

At dusk, the brothers of the Tang family and more than a dozen children from the Tang family and their wives gathered in Xiyantang, and the old lady and Tang Lan were there, which was regarded as a dinner and practice at home after the beginning of the New Year. Tomorrow the brothers will go their separate ways, and the busy year will begin again. And this year, the palace and the capital, and even the entire Great Zhou are facing turmoil.

"We will not change to all changes, focus on the overall situation and the people, and the tens of thousands of people in the Tang Sect are your backing and responsibility. They are your strength and your loved ones who need to be preserved. Between you brothers, between husband and wife," she glanced at Lian'er and Xinjie at this point, and smiled slightly: "You must trust each other, and don't give people the opportunity to sow discord." Du Chong, Luo Cheng, Hua Bing, although your dozen or so children are not related to the Tang family, but the old woman, I can watch you grow up in this Wabao village, and it is also our fate, in the eyes of my old woman, you are no different from my own grandchildren. You must be cautious when you go out and protect yourself. This time next year, we may all be busy and will not have the opportunity to get together, but Grandma believes that there will be time for everyone to get together again in the near future, and Grandma is waiting for you to return safely. This is Chen Biyan's parting message to her grandchildren, and she got up and left. After staying for a long time, it is more of sorrow.

After the old lady left, the brothers said goodbye to each other for a while and then left one after another, everyone will leave tomorrow morning, and many people still have something to deal with.

Among these people, Du Chong and Luo Cheng are the closest, both stationed near Xianyang, and the two often come and go in Tangzhuang, but one is in Xianyang Xiying, and the other is in Yuxiwei, if it is not for the New Year's vacation, they will not be able to touch each other. The courtyard where the two lived in the Zhuangzi was also nearby, so the two walked around the Zhuangzi together, chatted, and returned to their rooms after half an hour. The courtyard of the two was in a small courtyard to the east of Zhuangzi for the disciples of the Tang Sect. Although these people are the orphans of the Tang family or the children of friends of the family, but Tangzhuang does not treat them badly, each person's courtyard is no worse than Tangzhuang's own son, each courtyard is in the middle of a hall and a study, there are three rooms on the left and right, a room and a small kitchen at the door, if you don't have a family or don't have too many children, this kind of small courtyard is enough for an ordinary family to live. When the tile fort was built, Chen Biyan thought long-term, and built three rows, each row of 20 small courtyards, and there was a large forest behind the last small courtyard. Between each row of houses are planted with various trees and vines, all of which are various spices or medicinal herbs, and are tended by special people. Even in winter, there are always some hardy flowers and plants that survive and bloom, so that people will not feel bored in winter and bring some vitality.

When Du Chong walked into his small courtyard, he felt that the smell at the door seemed to be different from when he went out in the morning. Although he has no achievements in medical skills, he still knows some common things and drugs more or less, and he is even much better than ordinary doctors in terms of self-defense. People in the rivers and lakes, anything can be encountered, the medical skills of self-defense are compulsory courses for Tang disciples, and various poisons* are also the focus of the professor. So even though there were many other medicinal vines around, he still noticed that in this cold winter, there were not many things that could hide the passion fruit, and in the cold air, the smell seemed a little too warm and sweet.

With his senses, he had already detected that there was someone in the house, an uninvited guest and a woman. He smiled slightly, "It's always time to come."

Fang Yan knew that with Du Chong's martial arts and her own skills, no matter how much she disguised it, she would still be known by him, so she didn't bother to hide her existence, but chose a pitiful posture to stand in front of the window, the moment Du Chong came in, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, as if to erase the tears that didn't exist.

Du Chong is not a person who likes to talk a lot, and when he saw Fang Yan, he didn't ask her why she was here, but looked at her lightly with a smile, waiting for the other party to speak.

This expression made Fang Yan confused. In the morning, for the sake of her reputation, and in order not to have anything to do with her, he would rather let her be injured and bleed than heal her, but now he is calm and safe when he is alone. For a while, Fang Yan didn't know what to say.

Du Chong saw that Fang Yan didn't speak, he didn't speak, but walked to the stove room at the entrance of the courtyard outside, and came back with a large pot of boiling water. In winter, as long as he is at home, the handyman on the Zhuangzi will heat the kang for him in advance at night and boil a pot of hot water for him to spare. Every day, like other brothers, even if he goes back to Tangzhuang for vacation, he goes to the martial arts training ground early in the morning to practice. After practicing, a group of brothers went to the big bathhouse to soak in the bath, washed up comfortably, and then went to their own things. When he came back in the evening, this pot of water was enough for him to wash his face, burn his feet and make tea. There was a beautiful woman who came to the door today, and he was not too surprised, since people calculated him, it was normal for anything to happen. He worked so hard in the morning, and he didn't hesitate to work hard, but at this time in the evening, the other party didn't make a move, and he went back to Xiying tomorrow morning, and he really didn't have a chance.
