Chapter 19 Turning Danger into Safety
The patrol guards who had been standing still still still did not say anything, as if they had not seen the imminent murder. The others hid or hid, and no one dared to squeak.
When Ji Ying regretted falling short, when Duanmu Lingfeng was sure to die, and when the nomadic field blamed himself and couldn't do anything, he shouted, "Stop!" "Break the deadlock. Strangely, the young man's voice made everyone present stop moving, Han Wei let go of Ji Ying, and the guards immediately let go of Duanmu Lingfeng and Nomad Ye.
Duanmu Lingfeng and Nomad Ye broke free of control, and rushed over one after the other to check Ji Ying's injuries.
The air finally entered her lungs smoothly through her nose and throat, Ji Ying curled up on the ground and coughed violently, and her eyes gradually became clearer, but the blood in her whole body seemed to be coagulated and could not flow normally, so she had to sit slumped in place, unable to move.
Duanmu saw that Ji Ying's body was covered with skin injuries, but his neck was red and swollen, although he was angry, he was also at ease. Nomad felt guilty, he had never done anything so shrunken. But compared to the whole family, these friends who have just met are still not enough.
Ji Ying's life-saving benefactor is Jiang Yuanqing. He jumped off his horse, his plain white robe was embroidered with pale cyan bamboo, and the whole person was reflected in the morning light, with a sense of fairy beauty.
Jiang Yuanqing walked in front of Zhou Rukang, knelt down respectfully, and called loudly: "The child Yichen meets his uncle!" ”
The guards on the side, including Han Wei, all bowed their heads to Jiang Yuanqing.
The passers-by who were watching had never seen such a big etiquette on the road, and they all guessed the identities of Zhou Rukang and Jiang Yuanqing, but they didn't dare to announce it because of Han Wei's fierce gaze.
Zhou Rukang's color was a little pale, and he said, "It's Yichen." Your father sent a letter a few days ago, saying that your kid was in trouble, and he was afraid of being beaten, so he ran out, and maybe he would come to the capital to wander around, but I didn't expect you to really come. I haven't seen you for so many years, I ...... I really don't recognize you yet. ”
Jiang Yuanqing jumped up from the ground, looking a little embarrassed, he leaned into Zhou Rukang's ear and replied, "When did the child get into trouble?" Uncle, you also know that my father has a hot temper, and he has to ask for family law at every turn. The child couldn't bear it anymore, so he came out secretly. Please, please, please don't tell my father, if he knew that I was in the capital, he would have to let his brothers who eat people and don't spit out bones tie me back, and then cramp and peel the skin, and pull it out to feed the dogs! ”
Jiang Yuanqing exaggerated, but Zhou Rukang felt sorry for this nephew, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you stinky boy has a lot of tricks." Let's go, follow me back to the palace. ”
"Good!" Jiang Yuanqing didn't take the horse anymore, and made a gesture to follow Zhou Rukang. The patrol guards also evacuated the scene.
Ji Ying and the others seem to have been forgotten, and the warm corpse lying on the ground also seems to have been forgotten.
But someone will always remember.
"Master," Han Wei bowed his body, pointed to the three people on the ground, and asked cautiously, "How do you deal with these people?" ”
Zhou Rukang glanced back and was undecided.
"Uncle," Jiang Yuanqing put on a serious appearance and said, "These people are all rushing to take the exam this year, and they live in an inn with their children, and they originally had nothing to do with this case, but they just happened to catch up." That skinny little child, who had just fought hard to save his sister, should have been grateful, but who knew that he was regarded as an assassin accomplice by General Han, and he suffered an unjustified disaster in vain, and he was wronged when he said it, so he begged his uncle to see what was going on and let these people go. ”
Zhou Rukang already felt that these children were not accomplices of the assassins, but they were just frightened and wanted to get angry, but when he heard Jiang Yuanqing say this, he responded happily: "That's right." Let Han Wei interrogate him again later, and let it go. ”
Han Wei received the order, and Jiang Yuanqing thanked him on his behalf.
Zhou Rukang pulled Jiang Yuanqing into the carriage prepared by the guards, and arranged for Zhou Ran to get into another carriage.
Han Wei briefly interrogated Ji Ying a few words, then carefully examined Duanmu, and watched his subordinates carry away the bloody corpse and follow the carriage.
Nomad Muye grabbed Ji Ying's wrist and dragged her up from the ground, where her fingers touched, it was cold and wet, knowing that she was still immersed in fear, and it was not easy to persuade, so he sent Ji Ying to the carriage brought by Duanmu.
Duanmu stood up with his chest, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at the direction of the carriage, was unwilling, and asked, "Who is Jiang Yuanqing?" I don't think the old man's identity is simple. ”
Nomad Muye hurriedly motioned to Duanmu to be quieter, and replied with a solemn expression: "I have seen him a doctor." ”
Nomadic Muye has been to Chang'an before, but there is only one person in the entire Chang'an who can let him see in person, and that is the current emperor! Thinking of this, Duanmu was taken aback.
"That'...... Isn't Jiang Yuanqing just ......"
"Jiang Yichen, whose name is Yuanqing, was crowned king with his father at the age of a weak crown, and the world respectfully called him King Xiaohuai. His father is Jiang Baichuan, the king of Huai'an, who guards the northern Xinjiang all the year round, and is also the emperor's brother. 's mother is the emperor's only sister, Jing'an's eldest princess, Zhou Kun. ”
"But how could he take part in the scientific expedition?"
"Maybe I want to compete with the students, and I deserve to be a young hero with both civil and military skills." "If it weren't for saving us, I'm afraid he wouldn't have known himself." ”
"In this way, I really want to thank this little Huaiwang." Duanmu generously offered his respect.
On the other side, in the gorgeous carriage, Zhou Rukang asked Jiang Yichen: "I just want to ask you, you don't want to go back to the eldest princess's mansion, but you just rob the inn with those lifters, why?" ”
"This ...... Uncle Emperor, you also know that if the child lives in the Eldest Princess's Mansion today, the letter reporting the child's whereabouts tomorrow will be placed on his father's desk, what is the difference between this and surrendering. Although the inn is crowded and simple, it is so comfortable. ”
"You are embarrassed to say, your dignified little prince of the Huai'an Wang family, what kind of imperial examination do you have nothing to do? Your dad knows, I'm afraid it's not as simple as cramping and peeling. Zhou Rukang smiled a little gloatingly.
Jiang Yichen was not timid when he heard this, and replied: "The beating is ironclad, but it will definitely not be punished heavily." In recent years, my father has been hanging on the very edge of the words, 'You kid, you can't set the country with literature, and you can't settle the country with martial arts, what's the use of Lao Tzu wanting you!'" 'When the child is famous, how can he stop his father's mouth! ”
"You're useless? Your father's old man is so old-eyed! Now in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, who still doesn't know about Jiang Yichen, the king of Xiaohuai? At the age of three, he learned boxing, at the age of four, he drew a bow, at the age of five, he followed King Huai'an to the battlefield, at the age of twelve, he had his own independent battalion, at the age of sixteen, he defeated the princess of Beidi Khansha, and captured the enemy general Dunmur alive, and so far he has participated in more than 30 battles without defeat. What does Jiang Baichuan want to do? If he stays in the capital for two days, will he pull all the soldiers under my nose to the entrance of the vegetable market and behead them? ”
Jiang Yichen smiled a little proudly, and catered gratefully: "It's still my uncle who feels sorry for me, and with my uncle's words, the child doesn't care about his father's mistakes." ”
The two laughed in the carriage.
When Duanmu Lingfeng and Nomad Ye arrived at the inn, Miao Tailor had been waiting at the door for most of the day, and she was really frightened when she saw the embarrassed appearance of the three people. Nomadic Ye is okay, Duanmu is covered in dust, his clothes are torn, his face is bruised and purple, and it is dotted with bloodstains, which makes people look shocking. Ji Ying is even more pitiful, the black and yellow face caused by soaking in medicinal solutions, there is no blood at all, there is a dazzling scar on the neck, the whole body is cold and stiff, and her eyes are dull.
Miao Judge doesn't understand, it's just that he took a test, but he was a little late in preparing for the car, why did they all become like this? She anxiously asked what was going on, and Duanmu's "hard to say" made her heart rise to her throat.
Sending Ji Ying into his house, Nomad Muye left a prescription, saying that it could calm the nerves and replenish qi, relieve cough and asthma. Duanmu was curious and asked, "Why don't you prescribe medicine without checking the pulse?" ”
