Chapter 20: Assassination in the middle of the journey
"This ...... Your Majesty, this person has a withdrawn personality, and the people who go to seek medical treatment start from the door, and they have to kneel three times and knock nine times until the inner hall, and then pass his test before he can appear. "Doctor Liu returned.
"Does he dare to resist the decree?"
"The minister is afraid that no one will see him, so how can he pass on the decree." Doctor Liu returned.
The room fell silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to take the nobles to Mount Tai and personally ask Sehuatuo to heal the nobles." Heber hurriedly spoke.
"You mean to take the nobles out of the palace? I am afraid that the body of the nobleman will ......" The emperor held the hand of Orange Creek, and was a little worried in his heart.
"Please rest assured, if that Saihuatuo can really cure the nobleman's illness, the minister will send the nobleman back safely, and ask the emperor for permission." Heber said confidently.
"Okay, I approve it, tomorrow you will secretly take the noble out of the palace, you must keep the noble person safe, you, follow the noble person to take care of her." The emperor pointed to Yu Lan who was standing aside.
"Minister, leader, thank the emperor for his grace." Heber bye-shee.
"Grandpa Chen, go and call the queen in."
Gonggong Chen quickly opened the door, "Queen Mother, the emperor let you in!" Gonggong Chen followed behind the queen, and the two entered the house together.
"O Queen! Tong Guiren is crazy, what does the queen think about this? The emperor asked the queen.
"There is no precedent for this, it's okay to be curable, but it can't be cured, let the nobles mess around like this, I'm afraid it will damage the emperor's face......" The queen returned cautiously.
"Okay, then the nobles of Tong will be grounded in the Smoke Wind Palace, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and Queen Lao will take care of the mouths and legs of the harem concubines." The emperor interrupted the queen.
"The concubine must do her best to supervise it." The queen returned.
The emperor handed Heber a token, grabbed his hand, and nodded, and Heber nodded wisely back. And they all departed from the Temple of the Smoked Winds.
The next day, Heber took the token given by the emperor and easily left the palace without investigation. During the day, Heber hurried non-stop, and at night, he was worried that Orange Creek would not be able to bear it, so he found a nearby inn to stay. "Come, Yu Lan, help Miss down! We'll stay here tonight. ”
The two of them helped Orange Creek into the store, the shopkeeper was snoring on his back, Heber put the sword in his hand on the counter, and patted the counter hard, "Stay in the store"
The shopkeeper woke up violently and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, "Staying in the hotel?" Yes, yes, how many do you want? ”
"I want two upper rooms, the adjacent ones, and some food, and find a place to settle the carriage." Herb took out a silver ingot and placed it on the counter.
"Okay, little two, take the guests upstairs, go upstairs and turn left to the first and second rooms." The shopkeeper accepted the money and instructed the second child in the store.
"Okay! Guest, please come with me. Xiao Er led the way in front and led them upstairs, "These are these two rooms, and the food will be delivered in a while." Xiao Er pointed to the two adjacent doors and turned around and went downstairs.
The two helped Orange Creek in and let her lie on the bed, "Later, after you take care of Miss after eating, you will rest early, and if there is any movement, call me, I will be next door." ”
"Okay, don't worry, general, Yu Lan will take good care of your ...... Miss. Yu Lan returned.
After a day of running, the three of them fell asleep quickly after eating.
In the second half of the night, a few people in night clothes sneaked into the inn and pried open the room where Orange Creek slept in, perhaps because it was too dark in the house, one of them accidentally knocked down the copper basin behind the door, Yu Lan woke up, "Who?" ”
The assassin was about to kill Yu Lan with the knife in his hand, but Yu Lan shouted: "Help! General, help! There are Assassins ......"
Hearing this, Heber quickly got up, and after a long struggle, all but one of them jumped out of the window and fled, and the rest died.
Yu Lan was also stabbed in the arm because of the protector's heart, Heber bandaged the wound for her, and then looked at Orange Creek who was scared and curled up there, "The big road seems to be unable to walk, we will change to the path at dawn, I will carry the young lady down first, and you take the baggage." ”
