Chapter 79: Stopping the sedan chair and shouting grievances
Following the smell of blood, Chu Lixue came to the corner of the bathroom, where a man in black was curled up and shivering.
"Who?" The man in black lowered his voice.
"Who are you? How can you hide here? Chu Lixue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.
"Hmph, you're bold enough to not be afraid of me?"
"Why should I be afraid of you, as long as I shout, some guards will rush in and kill you, not to mention that you have lost too much blood now, I'm afraid you don't have the strength to kill me."
"Hmph, you're a bold woman." The man said weakly.
"Anyway, who are you? Why are you hiding in my room? ”
"Hmph." The man snorted and took out a brocade box from his body, and the moment the brocade box was opened, it was full of light, and the whole room was like daylight in an instant.
"Shenwu Zhu?" Chu Lixue blurted out.
"Good eyesight, I actually know that this is a Shenwu Pearl, and it is for this that I will be injured." The man said lightly. immediately closed the brocade box in his hand and threw the brocade box into Chu Lixue's hand.
Chu Lixue took the brocade box and shook it at the man, "This is a treasure from Fanbang, are you going to steal the Great Inner Treasure Pavilion?" ”
"Hmph, Ouchi Treasure Pavilion?" The man sneered, as if he had heard something funny, and then said lightly: "I stole this from King Jing's Mansion." ”
Respect the King's Mansion? Chu Lixue was extremely surprised, this King Jing was the one she saw in Yunshui Villa? How could he have the treasures of Fanbang's tribute, could it be that it was rewarded by the emperor? The emperor may not be reluctant to give up such a precious thing.
I remember that the old medicine king told her that the Shenwu Pearl is not only brighter than the ordinary Night Pearl, but its preciousness lies in the fact that it can bring people back to life who are on the verge of death. If all this is true, the emperor will definitely not give it to others easily.
Thinking of this, Chu Lixue said lightly: "Respect the Wangfu? I'm afraid that the three thousand soldiers of the palace can't hurt you! You've infiltrated my room, haven't the guards of the Dingguo Mansion discovered you? It can be seen that your martial arts are not comparable to these government soldiers. ”
"The county lord...... Are you okay? The maidservant outside the door noticed that something was wrong, and she couldn't go in directly, so she had to ask softly at the door.
Chu Lixue glanced at the man in the corner, and said to the door: "Xiangzhi, I'm fine, you go and rest." Looking back, I saw that the man's cold sweat had soaked his back.
Chu Lixue walked quickly to the dressing table, took out a pill from a box and pinched it in the palm of her hand, returned to the man, pinched his jaw, stuffed the pill in, and then closed his jaw and swallowed the pill into his abdomen.
"Ahem, ahem, you...... What did you give me to eat? ”
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a five-poison pill."
"What? Five poison pills? You are from the Valley of the Medicine King. ”
"Yo, it's not easy, knowing that I am from the Medicine King Valley, since you know my identity, you must be very familiar with the Five Poison Pills. As long as you follow my orders, I will give you the antidote regularly. Chu Lixue smiled evilly.
"Obey your commands? I mixed Yuan Six Swords Li Ping categorically would not be coerced by a woman, isn't it the Five Poison Pill? There's something terrible. ”
"Mixed Yuan Six Knife Li Ping? The name is quite loud, this five poison pill is indeed nothing terrible, but it is just a rotten stomach and death, and the process is more painful. Chu Lixue said with an indifferent look.
"Are you really giving me the Five Poison Pills?" Li Pinghu said suspiciously. The woman in front of him didn't look like the kind of person who likes to kill, and he didn't feel sick after taking the pill, but his body wasn't as painful as he was. Could it be that this girl is cheating on herself?
While he was thinking about it, Chu Lixue was already holding a small porcelain bottle, sprinkled some medicinal powder on his wound, and carefully bandaged and fixed it with gauze, which was more like a doctor who saved lives and helped the wounded.
"Since the county lord is willing to save me, then I, Li Ping, am not ungrateful, I promise the county lord to do three things for the county lord, but these three things cannot be against morality."
"Don't worry, this county lord will never do anything that violates morality, and you, who took my five poison pills today, will be my person from now on, and you will be sent by me, as for the three things you promised to do for me, this county lord will only use them at critical moments."
"You ......"
"You don't have a choice, or I'll have someone catch you and send you to the government right now." Chu Lixue coldly threatened.
Li Ping rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Okay." ”
Hearing this, Chu Lixue smiled, and then turned around and walked out of the bathroom. Back in the room, Chu Lixue didn't feel sleepy, this Shenwu Bead is a treasure, King Jing actually seized the tribute for himself, and now that it was stolen, it should be secretly investigated. I was thinking about it, and when I heard the sound of the watch outside, it was already the third watch.
In the early morning of the next day, Chu Lixue called Xiangzhi and asked her to bring a set of men's subordinate clothes and give it to Li Ping to change into. Li Ping felt very awkward wearing short clothes, he was also a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, but now he was going to be coerced by a little woman to be her follower, if this was known, it would be a shameful thing.
"Li Ping, go and prepare a sedan chair, this county will mainly go out."
"Yes, County Lord." Although Li Ping felt a little awkward in his heart, he still did what Chu Lixue told him. What's more, now, the people who worship the king are also secretly searching, and hiding in the eldest princess's mansion is not a bad idea.
"The lord of Qinghe County has arrived, and pedestrians have avoided." Chu Lixue and Xiangzhi sat in a sedan chair, and naturally there were family members to open the way for them. The people avoided it one after another, and they all wanted to see what this Qinghe county lord looked like.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the street, and a man knelt in front of Chu Lixue's sedan chair on the street and shouted, "Wronged, wronged, begging the county lord to be the master of the grass people." ”
Hearing this, Chu Lixue didn't get out of the sedan chair, but just sat in the sedan chair and said lightly: "If you have any grievances, go to Jingzhao Mansion to shout grievances, the county lord has no official position, and he is a woman, so he really can't make decisions for you." ”
"Get out of the way, don't block the county lord's way." The guard said coldly.
"Ask the county lord, please the county lord, the villain will stop the county lord's sedan chair because he has no way to ask."
The sound of prayer outside attracted the sympathy of the people, and Chu Lixue lifted the corner of the sedan curtain and saw a man kneeling not far away, covered in blood. The man's skin was dark, the blood on his forehead had dried up, and his hands full of blood were propped up on the ground, and the anticipation in his eyes could be seen.
"Li Ping, go and ask what's going on."
"Yes, County Lord."
"If you have any grievances, just say it, and see if the county lord can help you." Li Ping said lightly. He said this very skillfully, and he could say grievances, but whether he could help or not, it was not necessarily. Even if Chu Lixue didn't help him, he wouldn't be infamous for being cold-blooded and ruthless.
More than a month ago, someone came to our village and fell in love with the mountain spring water in our village, and then said that they would be levied for their use, and no one in Tianshui Village could use the mountain spring water in the future. Everyone didn't want to, the village chief reasoned with them, who knew that they killed the village chief with a sword, and that night, they came to our village again, drove us out door to door, and finally burned our house with a fire, and my father was burned to death in the house in order to go back to save the ancestral tablet. After speaking, the man began to cry, and the people around him also wept.
In this era, people like them can only be bullied by others, and they are still terrified when people are swords and I am fish and meat.
"Do you know who is burning Sweetwater Village?" Chu Lixue said lightly.
"The villain doesn't know, but the villain picked up a waist card on the ground, which should be theirs." After that, the man took out a waist card from his arms and raised it respectfully above his head, Li Ping stepped forward to pick up the waist card and looked at it, then walked quickly to the front of the sedan chair and lowered his voice, "County Lord, this is the waist card of the Su family." ”
"The Su family? Is it the Sutong family? ”
"Exactly. However, this matter is very strange, and the county lord still left it alone. "Li Ping is a person in the rivers and lakes, so he is naturally not surprised by these things, but this person stopped Chu Lixue's sedan chair so coincidentally, which is too coincidental, and it was Jing Zhaoyin's sedan chair that passed by Chu Lixue's sedan chair. The other party didn't go to Jing Zhaoyin, but came to ask for a county lord who had just been sealed, and he couldn't tell the truth.
"Do you see the oddity, too? Since they deliberately set up a game for me, it is better to plan it so as not to produce any more moths. ”
"But ......"
"It doesn't matter, we'll ...... like this for a while" Chu Lixue whispered a few words to Li Ping through the sedan curtain, and then saw Li Ping turn around and leave.
The man was still kneeling on the ground, looking up at the sedan chair in front of him from time to time, why didn't there move at all, what did the family member who left just now do?
After a while, Li Ping drove a carriage to the front of the sedan chair, "County Lord, the carriage has arrived." ”
"Okay." The woman spoke softly. Immediately, he walked out of the sedan chair, and the people were surprised when they saw this.
"This ...... Isn't this Princess Chen? Hasn't Princess Chen been dead for more than half a year, how could she be here? A middle-aged man exclaimed.
"Yes, it's so similar, I can't imagine that there are people in the world who are so similar." Another chimed in.
"yes, yes."
The man kneeling on the ground heard the people talking like this, and he quietly looked up, he had never seen Princess Chen, but this Qinghe county lord was really a beauty who captivated the country and the city.
"Xiangzhi, you and them all go home, just have Li Ping with you. The county lord went to Sweetwater Village to have a look. Chu Lixue said lightly.
"County Lord, Xiangzhi will follow you."
"No need, you have to look at the ginseng chicken soup on the fire when you go back, that's what I made for my father-in-law." After finishing speaking, Chu Lixue got into Li Ping's carriage and instructed the man who was kneeling on the ground to take them to Tianshui Village.
Hearing this, the man smiled evilly, and the fish finally took the bait......
