Chapter 2: A Laugh Falls

Steward Li rode a horse alone, Gu Qingcheng sat in the carriage with the two girls, and the handlebar-style Lao Liu of the Gu Mansion drove the carriage.

The carriage ticked and went, and at noon it came to a wide area with a tea house on the side of the road.

Steward Li asked Gu Chengcheng if he was thirsty, and if he was thirsty, he would stop and drink water, and take a nap by the way.

Gu Tingcheng said okay, everyone was also tired, and they happened to rest in the tea house.

When you get out of the car and look around, you can see that the official road is winding, and then you will enter a short mountain road, with lofty mountains and green jungles on both sides.

There are vehicles and horses parked near Chaliao.

Although there was an endless stream of vehicles coming and going, Gu Tingcheng had a flash in his mind:

With such a terrain and appearance, he ambushed and attacked in the jungle in front of him, and intercepted and killed at the tea house.

Whether it is to attack from the front first, or to attack from the tea house, it is the most suitable place to rob the road.

These subtle observations came from Grandpa Tie's teachings, including some of her martial arts for self-defense.

So he smiled indifferently and asked Steward Li: "Steward Li, how long will it take us to get to Pingcheng?" ”

Steward Li was leading the way to the tea house, and said without looking back:

"It's almost over, let's rush to Shuozhou Town in the evening and rest for the night. I guess I can go to Pingcheng tomorrow afternoon, and I can eat in the house in the evening! ”

They came to the tea house, where seven or eight tables of guests were sitting.

There were men and women at five tables, and men in plainclothes at three tables, who seemed to be ordinary passing guests, including the boss and his buddies, and there were twenty or thirty people, so it was not lively.

They were dressed in different clothes, but their eyes were shining, and they were blatantly carrying swords and crossbows.

The Great Wei Dynasty established the country with martial arts, the people were simple and brave and ruthless, and it could be called the strongest country in the world.

After last night's accident at the inn, Gu Qingcheng was almost full of soldiers.

A seemingly unintentional glance swept over them, and they were all in the looks.

They are not like bandits and robbers, who are a rabble and not so well trained.

Yes, it's well-trained.

Trained, not robbers, but killers.

They sat separately, not as if they were not a group, but they were clearly a group, as if they were sitting and waiting for the fish to catch.

Gu Qingcheng's heart froze, and his eyes drooped: Are we their fish?

But his party only had simple bags and no valuables, so he wouldn't work so hard for himself.

Even his slightly valuable phoenix blood jade jue was snatched away by the gangster last night, and now he has no long things, only the waist card of the Royal Forest Army that is close to him is still worth some silver taels.

Gu Qingcheng remained silent and waited for the changes.

Steward Li casually sat at a table by the road.

"Boss, some tea packs." Steward Li shouted to the shopkeeper.

"Great! Wait a minute, I'll send it to you right away. The boss glanced at Gu Chengcheng with a sneer.

"Miss, are you tired? I'll help you rub your shoulders. Zhiruo walked behind Gu Qingcheng and wanted to rub her shoulders.

"No need to ......" Gu Qingcheng quickly pulled Zhiruo to sit down, "I have only walked for less than three days, you have all walked back and forth for a few days, you are more tired than me, sit down and rest." ”

"Miss Allure is really a bodhisattva, and she can also sympathize with us slaves." Yun Jin sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"What kind of young lady slave and maid, we are all human beings, in my eyes, there is no distinction between high and low." Gu Qingcheng smiled, her tone was soft, and what she said was from her heart.

Zhiruo's neck had an ink-colored cool character on it, while Yun Jin's neck had a swallow character on it.

They were all slaves who destroyed the country, and they were bought back by the Gu Mansion to be slaves and maids.

They listened to Gu Qingcheng's words, looked at each other, and couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

The slave aristocracy of the Northern Wei Dynasty was divided into distinct races, and the prisoners of war or the people who died were all slaves.

Gu Tingcheng and his master went to the doctor's hospital, and they couldn't bear to see the scene of slaves being abused.

They were eating refreshments, and Gu Chengcheng smelled them before eating, but they didn't take any medicine.

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and a group of about fifty people galloped on horseback.

Each of them carried swords, bows, crossbows, and quivers, and some horses also had pheasants and hares on their backs, indicating that they had returned from hunting.

After passing through the tea house, I didn't plan to rest.

Gu Tingcheng had a premonition that the fish of those tea guests were coming, and when he looked at the tea guests, he saw that everyone's expressions had changed sharply, and they had a sharp blade in their hands.

In the next moment, something happened abruptly, perhaps as she expected.

Suddenly, I saw that in the jungle on both sides of the official road, there were countless arrows raining down on the people and horses on the road.

Almost at the same time, the guests of the tea house, including the boss, also flew out, and the people were in mid-air, and the arrow feather dart hidden weapon had already greeted first.

"Whew! Swish! Swish! Boom! Boom! Boom! The shot shot at the men and horses on the road.

Sure enough, it was the front and back attack she judged.

A round of hidden weapons flew out, and dozens of riders rode back and forth on the road, while swinging the sword impenetrable to block the hidden weapon.

even shrunk into a ball in an instant, protecting one of the core characters like an iron bucket.

The tea guest and a large number of killers on the mountain, seeing that the blow missed, had already flown out, and the two sides fought together.

"Ah......h

Yun Jin and Zhi Ruo were so frightened that they screamed, and Steward Li and the handlebar style were also pale with fright.

"Shhhh......h ”

No matter who they are, fighting like this, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not be harmed by the pond fish and kill them.

Steward Li was already so frightened that he fled behind the tea house. Seeing that the real tea house owner and his buddies died in the back, he didn't dare to look outside.

Gu Qingcheng also ran into the tea house, dodging, but he probed out again, paying close attention to the battle situation ahead.

They fought vigorously and fiercely for a while, and Gu Qingcheng blinked an eye, but found that the horse with the carriage was frightened, broke free from the reins, dragged the carriage around, and ran in the direction of the fight.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the frightened fleeing horse, and stomped his feet with hatred.

No, there is no carriage, how can they go back to Pingcheng.

Anyway, pull the carriage back first.

Gu Qingcheng rushed out.

The battle situation ahead is obviously a gradual division of victory and defeat.

Although the killers were overwhelming, the athletes were even more heroic and fierce, and they all intercepted and killed them.

Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself.

"Horses, come back quickly!"

Gu Qingcheng finally grabbed the reins of the horse and dragged the horse back.

Huo Ran, a blue-sharp sword, was placed on Gu Qingcheng's neck.

"I didn't see anything......" Gu Qingcheng screamed in fright, regretting his death. Even if you walk back to Pingcheng, it is better than losing your life, "I just want to pull back my carriage." ”

I couldn't help but say that Gu Qingcheng was picked up and thrown into their lost ranks.

"Catch a spy!"

"There are a few more behind the tea house, all of them are slaughtered!"

Steward Li, who was hiding behind the tea house, heard it from a distance and was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

In an instant, someone pulled them out.

The sword rested around their necks.

Steward Li and the others were even more frightened, and they were lying on the ground trembling.

Steward Li and the others distanced themselves from Gu Qingcheng in the distance.

"No...... Don't kill them, they are my family. Gu Qingcheng shook his hand, said eagerly, and turned around to look at Steward Li and them.

Steward Li and the others faintly heard Gu Tingcheng pleading for them in danger.

Seeing that these people killed killers who were several times more than them in an instant, the bright swords were chilling.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but feel a little timid, and only hoped that they wouldn't kill innocents indiscriminately:

"We're not in a gang with gangsters, we're just going back to Shuozhou, passing by here, and just want to have a cup of tea."

"Kill to prevent future troubles!" A strong general raised his sword to kill Gu Qingcheng.

"Idiot!" A guard who seemed to be the leader of the team stepped in to stop him, "Stay alive!" ”

"Under torture, I'm not afraid that this kid won't recruit." Another ruthless one.

Torture? Gu Qingcheng said in his heart, if he falls into their hands, he will be tortured to extract a confession, and if he does not die, he will lose his skin.

She quickly glanced around at them, and immediately knew that one of the young men with dense braids, cold facial features, graceful demeanor, blue brocade sleeve robe, small trousers, deep boots, and humble attire was their master.

At this moment, the man had a sword in his arm, and a large piece of white flesh turned out, bleeding nonstop.

The worst thing is that his lips have turned purple and black.

She saw the dart on his left chest, secreting black blood.

Poison darts! If you don't save it, your life will not be saved.

She straightened her waist, coughed lightly, cleared her throat, pointed at the man gently, and said calmly:

"Not only did he bleed from his sword wounds, but he was also poisonous. If you don't help in time, you will definitely die.

I am a doctor, and I can save him, and all of you.

Your wounds, though not as serious as his, are all wounded in different sizes, and I can heal you.

But you have to promise not to embarrass me and my family. ”

The noble man's eyes lit up, and his pained face seemed to be soothed.

"Let him cure!" The noble man's face was almost twisted in pain, and he gritted his teeth and forced himself to endure it.

"Your Highness," his personal guard casually addressed his master, but paused again, feeling that it was inappropriate to reveal his master's identity in front of outsiders, and still said nervously: "Could there be fraud?" ”

"Humph! Cheat? Gu Tingcheng scoffed, "Your master is about to die, and you are still worried about me being weak...... Brat? ”

Seeing that they seemed to hesitate, she said calmly:

"And to save you, and to save my own life. I don't know if you are good or bad, but the master said that in the eyes of the healer, all beings are equal, and the good and bad people are all the patients of the healer. ”

"Quick!" The boy was already in pain and shouted impatiently.

"Move him to the tea house, it will be more comfortable." Gu Tingcheng Road.

"Don't talk nonsense!" A sword was put on her neck again, "Stinky boy, it's right here, if you can't cure it, I'll let you see Hades immediately!" ”

What the hell has happened in the past two days, everyone likes to put a sword on her neck.

hasn't returned to Pingcheng yet, she has been swords and swords every day, and when she returns to Pingcheng, she hasn't been chopped into meat sauce yet?

After all, they are also for their own safety, after all, they have just been assassinated.

"Good ......," she crouched down, pulled out the dart from the man's body, and sniffed it into her nose.

All the guards drew their swords and stood by to prevent Gu Chengcheng from playing tricks.

"Quenched the seven-step snake venom." Gu Tingcheng Road.

The guards looked at each other.

Gu Qingcheng threw away the darts, glanced at them, and then looked at the mountain cols on both sides.

Then he said: "The grass here is dense, and there should be poisonous snakes." Where there are snakes, there will be antidote weeds.

Seven leaves and one flower, one flower in the middle of seven leaves, it is easy to recognize.

Lobelia, which is the herb that blooms Lobelia, grows mostly by the water stream.

Which of you can go looking for it? ”

"I know!" A guard.

"Herbs that can be understood so easily, a few more people will look for them, and some people will be left to protect them!" The guard leader said.

"Okay, since we know each other, let's find it quickly!" Gu Tingcheng Road.

Seeing that someone had rushed to find medicine, Gu Qingcheng conveniently untied the man's clothes.

The man was stunned, after all, he was untied by a young man's wide clothes, even if he was cured, he was a little unaccustomed.

If he is not careful, others will think that he has a sleeve breaking fetish.

Gu Qingcheng looked at the wound with black blood, hesitated slightly, but leaned over his chest and sucked the poisonous blood out of him.

She was so close to him, and she exhaled like an orchid between gasps, and in addition to the faint fragrance of medicine, there was also a refreshing fragrance of peach blossoms.

When her lips touched his skin, the man felt something strange except for the pain on his body.

He looked at the picturesque, handsome man in front of him.

The strange fragrance on his body is so familiar.

Gu Qingcheng took a few puffs until the poisonous blood was no longer blackened, and the blood had turned bright red.

She vomited all the blood from her mouth before wiping it clean.

Then she took out a silver needle from her cuff, and when the guards saw that she had taken out a needle, they became nervous again.

The injured man shook his head slightly, saying that he was stupid, people had risked their lives to suck poison blood on himself, and he would not treat him if he wanted to harm himself.

Gu Tingcheng didn't have time to express his dissatisfaction, so he skillfully took off his shoes and socks in his blood sea acupoint, and applied needles to stop bleeding in his Sanyin Jiao and Taichong acupoints and Yinbai acupoints on his feet.

Finally, he put a needle in his hand to stop the pain in his upper limbs.

After a while, the blood did not flow much.

The man's pain was noticeably less.

There was a gratefulness in his eyes.

"Do you know the mandala flower?" Gu Tingcheng asked them again.

"I've heard of it, but I don't know what it looks like." A guard.

The others looked at each other and shook their heads silently.

"You have a long sword wound, I need to give you stitches. If you can find a mandala, or aconite, or marijuana, you won't feel pain every time you get a needle.

Otherwise, you'll be in unbearable pain. Gu Qingcheng said softly to the man.

She has always been very gentle with her patients.

Her gentle voice was like a heavenly sound.

The man looked at her stupidly.

Seeing that everyone didn't know each other, she stood up and said, "Forget it, I'll find it myself." ”

The guards were afraid that Gu Qingcheng would play tricks, so they sent two people to go with her.

If you don't have to suffer too much pain to heal your wounds, it is of course the best.

Finally, the man had a fortune in his life, and they quickly found a seven-leaf flower, lobelia, a mandala, and marijuana.

Gu Qingcheng first asked the guards to help smash the seven leaves and a flower and lobelia, and put the poison dart on his chest.

Then he smashed the mandala and marijuana, applied it near his sword wound, and when he felt paralyzed and no pain, he plucked out a few long hairs and carefully touched his wound.

When everyone saw her plucked long hair, they all looked at this handsome young man with a little curiosity.

Only then did they realize that the young man was not only as white as snow, but also picturesque, and as beautiful as a fairy.

There are also two slender jade hands, just like a girl embroidering, carefully sewing up the wounds of their masters.

The man looked at Gu Tingcheng stupidly, and Gu Tingcheng also glanced at him in his busy schedule.

The man had already passed the age of the crown, about twenty-five or sixteen, with a slender face, exquisite facial features, and a very handsome appearance.

But his face is cold and feminine, as if he is covered with an invisible mask, which is unpredictable.

It's hard to get close to.

The man looked at Gu Qingcheng in more and more astonishment, there was such a good-looking man in the world?

His voice was so gentle, and his whole person looked - could it be that she was a woman?

Gu Qingcheng was a little embarrassed by them, and his cheeks turned crimson:

"My female celebrity is not very good, I have tried my best, I hope the sewing will not be too ugly."

I saw that there were other people who were also poisoned and injured to varying degrees.

"You pull out the poison darts and suck each other's poisonous blood, and then apply the antidote herbs.

In addition, mash all the anesthetics and apply them to the wounds, and I will stitch them up one by one for you later. Gu Qingcheng said again.

According to her instructions, everyone dealt with it for the time being.

She mended the man's arm while explaining, and accidentally, the man's palm, unintentionally or unintentionally, actually touched her chest.

A soft ball.

Although his sword wound was paralyzed, his fingers were still sensible.

Gu Qingcheng's hand suddenly stopped, and his eyes involuntarily showed a touch of horror. But for a moment, she continued to sew and mend for him.

And that man did not miss Gu Qingcheng's horror. His eyes lit up, his originally cold face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.

Gu Chengcheng's eyes were even hotter.

Gu Tingcheng treated their wounds well, and then explained: "Remember, don't get water on the wound these days, and it will take seven days to remove these strands of hair." ”

I turned around and wanted to leave.

"Girl's name?" The noble boy asked behind him.

Gu Qingcheng paused in his footsteps, but did not answer him, and continued to move forward.

"Your Highness asks you something, and you dare not answer?" Seeing that Gu Tingcheng ignored his master, a guard left like this, and angrily stretched out his hand to grab Gu Tingcheng.

Gu Tingcheng heard the wind behind him, his body was crooked, and the guard actually tore off her white gauze hat and hairpin, and his strength caused her to spin around with her long hair.

The beauty of the flying hair and turning around, not only the blue-clothed noble man was stunned, but all the guards were also dumbfounded.

This woman is really beautiful!

Gu Qingcheng, who turned around and looked back, knew that he couldn't hide it, and said lightly: "Zhang Xiulian." ”

Thinking of the two days of continuous use of the name of the nurse, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Revealing fine white teeth.

The man was half-lying in the guard's arms, almost looking up at Gu Qingcheng.

The sunlight shone on her figure, reflecting layers of dazzling golden halos. Gu Qingcheng, who was smiling like a flower in his eyes, was even more like a goddess coming.

Gu Tingcheng reported his name and picked up the hat and hairpin on the ground.

The body swept back to the carriage like a fly, took Steward Li and them with him, and left the place of right and wrong quickly without delay.

"Miss Allure, were you kidnapped by them just now?" Steward Li, they finally came back to their senses.

"No, they're hurt, I'll treat them." Gu Qingcheng said lightly.

“…… Does Miss Allure know how to heal? Steward Li looked at Gu Qingcheng in astonishment.

"Where, only know a little fur. The countrymen didn't have the money to hire Langzhong, so they bumped into it, so they tinkered with some herbs and fooled around. They also had no choice, so they became a live horse doctor. Gu Tingcheng said.

"Oh, that's right." Steward Li bowed his head in relief.

"I don't give them some herbs to stop bleeding, I'm afraid we won't have a way to live." Gu Qingcheng is not visible.

"Miss Allure, we used to be in the countryside, and we didn't have the money to hire Lang Zhong, so we went up the mountain to find some herbs.

There are really bumps, and we still use the ashes at the bottom of the pot to stop the bleeding. Yun Jin deeply agrees.

After the fright just now, they have become comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe.

"Your Highness?" Gu Qingcheng remembered what those guards called their master, and said in his heart, "What kind of highness will that be?" ”

The group of people behind him looked at Gu Qingcheng's departing back, and were stunned for a while before they came to their senses.

"Your Highness, I didn't expect that kid to be a big beauty, no wonder he is so handsome." His Royal Highness's close guard said, "Compared to the Lord of Liyang, there is nothing better." ”

"Your Highness, do you need to catch up and leave her behind?" The other guard was ready to stay as he spoke.

"Bastard! This king is not a robber. The man struggled to his feet.

is still feminine and cold, unfathomable, but there is a touch of tenderness in his eyes. It's like telling his followers, and it's like talking to himself:

"A smile captivates the city, Zhang Xiulian, the land of Shuozhou projectiles, this king wants to find someone, will he not find it?"

"Yes......," the guard said respectfully.
