In Kaifeng Mansion, the weather is good, and the pedestrians on the street are bustling and noisy. Although he had already arranged to get off the car and separate from passers-by, Gu Changming still walked slowly and unhurriedly while riding on the snow.
The person who was even more anxious in front of him should be Situ An, who was looking forward to it at the gate of the palace, and it was definitely not the two of them. Gu Changming happened to take advantage of this time on the road, thinking about how many details of his father's whereabouts might be told by the Queen Mother.
The last time I promised to tell you in detail, Gu Changming got the news in hand, but it was in a fog. The Queen Mother said that her father was still safe, but it was just one side of the story. How much to believe, how much to suspect, Gu Changming has a scale in his heart, and two catties will appear.
Liu Zhuxue was in the carriage, thinking about something else. It is normal for the Queen Mother to see Gu Changming, why did she mention that she wanted to see her! You must know that the Queen Mother's bedroom is like a nightmare for her, and it takes a few days to calm down. This time, I didn't know who I named and asked her to enter the palace, and forced her to show up. She really doesn't want others to be difficult, if she changes the fruit, she will definitely say that she can't go if she doesn't want to go.
The Queen Mother knew very well that she was temporarily living in the Gu family, and she couldn't affect Gu Changming.
"There seems to be an accident ahead, and everyone is blocked." Gu Changming stopped with the snow in his hand, and for some reason there were at least three circles of people in front of him watching the excitement. This road leads to the palace, and there are many shops on both sides, but it is a little difficult for the carriage to pass.
"This place should be not far from the palace, I'll get out of the car and walk over." Liu Zhuxue lifted the curtain and glanced at it, "Brother Gu, you can't let the Queen Mother wait too long, after all, there is still a request for her old man." β
Gu Changming simply dismounted and handed over the snow to the coachman at home: "It's really strange, the people in Kaifeng Mansion haven't seen the world, and watching the excitement can block the road." If something really big happens, you won't even be able to remember the official errand. β
The two of them didn't want to mix in the mood to watch the play at all, and when they walked to the front, they faintly heard someone shouting, saying that someone had an emergency, and they were afraid that something big would happen when they were lying there.
Gu Changming frowned, he should call the doctor if he has an emergency. There are no less than dozens of traditional Chinese medicine shops and medical clinics in Kaifeng Prefecture, how can these people just watch the excitement, huddle together but don't come forward to help.
"The sick one, there are still two guards next to him, the fierce one can't do it, and he doesn't speak human words, he can't understand a word." The aunt who was crowded in front turned her head and replied, "Just now, a kind Samaritan invited a doctor to come over, and I was almost knocked to the ground by those two." When encountering a fierce god and evil, who would dare to step forward. β
Gu Changming stopped Liu Zhuxue: "I'll go in and have a look, do you want to follow?" β
"Let's do it together." Liu Zhuxue looked delicate, with a serious martial arts body, and she still practiced the mental method of the Emei faction. Those people unconsciously made way for the two of them, and soon squeezed to the front.
Sure enough, there was a man lying on the ground, his eyes closed and his face pale. In front of him were two strong men, with a strong appearance, holding a scimitar in their hands, and talking in their mouths.
"I really don't understand it at all." Liu Zhuxue asked more reasonably, "They are not from the Central Plains, they sound like they are from the north." β
"You are knowledgeable, they speak Da Liao." Gu Changmingxin said that if the fruit is here, I am afraid it will be better and easier to communicate. But fortunately, he has a little study of the Da Liao dialect, and there is no problem with simple communication.
"In the past, in order to receive the envoys of Da Liao, my father repeatedly practiced a few daily greetings at home, although I don't know what it means, but it sounds somewhat similar." Liu Zhuxue saw that the person on the ground was motionless, "These two people are really, but they can't understand the official language, and that is also important to save people." β
Gu Changming took a step forward and made the simplest salute to the two strong men, but the other party didn't appreciate it at all, and the scimitar slashed down towards his faΓ§ade, causing an exclamation all around. However, how could Gu Changming's skills be hacked, the other party looked at him as if he was motionless, but the blade of the scimitar hit the void from the gap.
"You don't really want to hurt anyone, but you're afraid that someone with ulterior motives will approach this one on the ground." As soon as Gu Changming opened his mouth, he said in Da Liao, "Who are you?" β
When the other party heard that there was finally someone who could talk, his eyes showed surprise and he hurriedly replied. They did come from Da Liao, and the one on the earth was their master, Xiao Zheng. Fang Cai walked on the road dignifiedly, saying that he fainted and fainted, and they suspected that someone had done something to poison him. So I didn't dare to let anyone approach, I wanted to save people but didn't know who to go to, and I was in a dilemma, just when Gu Changming appeared.
"I'm a little bit of a doctor, can you let me get it checked?" If it weren't for Gu Changming, he would have expected that the two of them didn't want to hit him, but instead thought that it was just a bluff, and they wouldn't have opened this mouth easily.
The two looked at each other, as if they were still hesitating. Gu Changming saw what the other party was worried about, and turned slightly sideways to let Liu Zhuxue behind him: "Then let this girl come, can you rest assured?" β
Liu Zhuxue didn't know what Gu Changming asked her to do, if she wanted to check the emergency for the people on the ground, where would she have such ability. But there was no mountain dew on his face, and he quietly listened to Gu Changming's orders.
The other party saw that it was a delicate young woman, and his vigilance was greatly reduced, but he doubted that Liu Zhuxue had the ability to heal?
Gu Changming's voice was extremely low: "You go over and probe that person's pulse, and then tell me." β
Liu Zhuxue stepped forward in two steps, squatted down and looked carefully, the man on the ground was quite handsome, but his face was worse than before, and his lips were slightly purple. She obeyed Gu Changming's words, rolled up the sleeves of the man's clothes, and put her fingers on the pulse, and found that the person's pulse was messy, fast and slow, not like poisoning.
"What kind of hidden ailments does he have on weekdays?" Gu Changming looked at Liu Zhuxue's every move, coupled with the changes in her eyes, he could roughly calculate what the situation was. It's not the best to be poisoned, the people of the three Great Liao Kingdoms suddenly appeared here, and it was definitely not as simple as coming to visit the mountains and rivers.
What's more, the Liao people are good at scimitars, and most of the symbols of a man's status are above the weapon. The scimitar in the hands of the two men was sharp and shiny, and two thumb-sized gems were embedded in the handles. And they call the men of the earth as masters. Gu Changming expected that he would be unconscious, and his status was noble, and he must have a lot of background.
The more such a character is, the more he can't let him have an unexplained accident in Kaifeng Mansion, otherwise when the time comes, one stone will stir up a thousand waves, and there is no room for recovery.
"Our adults have always been in good health, where did the hidden disease come from!" A strong man stepped forward angrily and wanted to pull away Liu Zhuxue's hand, "I don't think you look like a good person, don't you want to harm adults." β
That posture, coupled with the huge disparity in size between the two, is like an eagle catching a chicken. In the eyes of others, Liu Zhuxue's wrist is slender, and if she is really caught, she may break it as soon as it breaks.
Liu Zhuxue didn't think so, her right hand flipped over, and the person first fell into the air, and then the tiger's mouth was in severe pain, but it was pressed by her two fingers, and the acupoints of the tiger's mouth were sore and numb, and soon the whole arm was out of strength. The strong man was shocked and frightened, and looked at Liu Zhuxue with his mouth wide open.
"You know, if I want to harm you adults, it doesn't take much effort." Liu Zhuxue used this move lightly, and instantly suppressed the other party.
Gu Changming watched from the sidelines, smiling profusely. This move was made by Liu Zhuxue, and it was more effective than his appearance. The two of them put away their arrogance, and they didn't dare to touch the scimitar, knowing that they had met a master. A woman is so powerful, so the men who walk with her, I'm afraid they will only move their fingers if they want to kill them.
"Did he eat anything before?" Gu Changming asked suddenly, without waiting for the two of them to look at each other to think, his palm was directly pressed, and the chest of the person on the ground was pressed.
The two strong men roared and jumped up, thinking that Gu Changming had poisoned him, and it didn't matter if his martial arts were far superior to him. If something happens to an adult, they risk their lives to protect it.
Before he could pounce on Gu Changming, the man on the ground coughed violently. Gu Changming's eyebrows moved, and he said in a low voice: "Why don't you adults hurry up and help you adults up and pat your back urgently." β
The two of them didn't know what was wrong with them, but they completely obeyed, pinched and patted on the adult's back, and after another cough, the man vomited out of his mouth, rolled his eyes twice, and sat up straight.
The onlookers almost cheered, Gu Changming was funny and angry, it was not a big deal. If it weren't for so many people gathered around at once to watch the excitement, the two strong men would not have been so nervous, and even the real doctor would not let them in.
So, he pointed his hands to both sides: "This stranger is fine, everyone disperse, disperse." β
Liu Zhuxue helped shout beside her: "The cars and horses behind are blocked for a while, don't look at the excitement, let's go back." β
"You saved me?" Two strong men were kneeling at the feet of the man who sat up, kowtowing and muttering something. In the man's eyes, he only saw Liu Zhuxue's slender and beautiful back, and he almost couldn't take his eyes off it, "Okay, you two should shut up first." I would like to ask the names of the two benefactors. β
When Gu Changming heard the official words of this Liao man, he was very smooth, and he was even more sure of his previous speculation. He has never liked the Liao people, and now that the people have been rescued, he doesn't want to bother talking about it anymore. Over there, Situ An didn't know what to look forward to, and what he was in a hurry.
"It's not a benefactor, it's a gesture." Gu Changming didn't want to tell his life at all, and when he saw that person's eyes were about to stick to Liu Zhuxue's back. He staggered half a step and hid most of the people behind him, "Be careful when you eat in the future, and tell your two subordinates, the sword is ruthless, how can you wield a sharp weapon against an unarmed person." β
After saying these two sentences, Gu Changming dragged Liu Zhuxue away, and he didn't even leave a chance to look back.
"Brother Gu, what kind of person is this, you didn't ask." Liu Zhuxue felt Gu Changming's faint anger, she didn't know if she had done something wrong, or if the person had said the wrong thing.
"Don't ask, if you keep asking, his eyes will soon stay on your back, how will I go back and explain these things to the fruit." Gu Changming saw that the man's eyes were mainly appreciative, but he didn't seem to be inferior, so he didn't continue to investigate.
After the person woke up, Liu Zhuxue always turned her back to her, not knowing what was happening behind her at all, and when she heard Gu Changming say this, her face turned red and said: "It's just a plain person, maybe I want to see how a woman like me can restrain his subordinates, and I'm just curious." β
Gu Changming said in his heart, whether the man is curious or not, it is clear at a glance. However, I was afraid that Liu Zhuxue would be shy when she turned around, so she just regarded it as a passerby and didn't study it further.
