Chapter 32: Avoiding Death by All Means
And this time, if Lan Yu was involved with another woman, Ma Xiuying might be forgiven, but the woman who was framed for having an affair with Lan Yu was Chu Liuyan, which made Ma Xiuying almost fall into a desperate situation. Emotional matters are originally very mysterious. If two people love each other, they can "have no edges in the mountains, and the heavens and the earth are together, so they dare to be with the king", but once someone is desperate, it is also very decisive, and even the heart is like ashes, and they no longer love.
Ma Xiuying's situation is undoubtedly like this. Lan Yu and Chu Liuyan, she didn't have no doubts, but in front of the thunderbolt on a sunny day, all doubts were replaced by despair and sadness, and she didn't have time to think too much. Lan Yu's affairs, she didn't care anymore, she didn't want to love this person anymore, she even said to herself, never see this person again.
"Zi is not a fish, you don't know the pain of fish." Chu Liuyan is not Ma Xiuying, so she doesn't know what Ma Xiuying is thinking at this time. She came to ask Ma Xiuying to help Lan Yu intercede at this time, which made Ma Xiuying think that there was indeed a personal relationship between Lan Yu and Chu Liuyan, and it also made Ma Xiuying even more desperate, even more unwilling to care about Lan Yu's affairs, and even more concerned about Lan Yu's life and death.
"Miss Chu, I'm tired, please go out first. If there is anything to talk about tomorrow, please talk about it tomorrow. Ma Xiuying unceremoniously ordered Chu Liuyan and Xu Biyi to expel the guests. Although Chu Liuyan was anxious, seeing that her words did not make Ma Xiuying believe, but seemed to make her more depressed. Rather than that, let's talk about it after dawn. Chu Liuyan thought so, so he and Ma Xiuying said goodbye and retired.
Xu Biyi pulled Chu Liuyan to her room, put her hands on her cheeks, and asked Chu Liuyan with some worry: "Sister Chu, the eldest lady doesn't care about Lan Yu's life and death, what do you say?" ”
Chu Liuyan lowered his head and pondered for a while before he said: "The so-called karmic encounter between people is probably like this. I saw that Miss Ma probably wouldn't care about Captain Lan's life and death anymore, but I didn't expect her to be so ruthless. Biyi, we have to think of another way. Lan Yu must be saved, if Lan Yu can't be saved, Lao Chang will not give up. ”
Xu Biyi echoed Chu Liuyan and said, "Sister Chu, what you said is very right, but how to save Vice General Lan?" ”
Chu Liuyan felt upset, and couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he said to Xu Biyi: "Sister Biyi, let's rest first, and keep our spirits up and think of saving people." Xu Biyi thought about it and had no choice but to agree.
Chu Liuyan returned to the room, lay on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. She knew in her heart that if Ma Xiuying was willing to save Lan Yu, Lan Yu still had five points of hope of survival, but now she had no half of it. If you want to save Lan Yu from Guo Zixing's prison, with the strength of these people, I am afraid that it will not be possible.
She thought about it again and again, until it was dark, and she felt a little heavy in her head, and before she knew it, she fell asleep. After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, she was woken up in a daze, she opened her eyes and saw Xu Biyi standing in front of the bed. Xu Biyi's eyes were a little red and swollen, presumably she didn't sleep well last night.
"Sister Chu," Xu Biyi hugged the wine jug in her arms hard and said, "Let's go visit Vice General Lan now." If you don't go now, you won't be able to see you at noon. ”
"What? Vice Admiral Lan is going to be executed at noon? Chu Liuyan jumped up from the bed, got dressed, and said to Xu Biyi: "Sister, we should still think long-term." Miss Ma may not be so ruthless ......"
"Sister Chu, don't mention Miss Ma again. I heard the news that Vice General Lan was beheaded at noon early this morning, so I immediately went to tell Miss Ma, who knew what Miss Ma actually said, 'It's okay to be dead, it's clean after a hundred', sister, you said that Miss Ma is usually elegant and dignified, I really can't see that my heart is so hard......"
Chu Liuyan waved his hand to stop her from continuing, and asked, "Have you gone to see your brother and them?" And what do they say? ”
"I've seen it. My brother and they are also at a loss, and Brother Chang yelled to rob the prison, but was stopped by Brother Chong. Xu Biyi said a little sadly, "Sister Chu, let's go visit Vice General Lan, send him a pot of good wine, and let him go all the way." ”
"What?" In an instant, Chu Liuyan seemed to have thought of something, but she didn't feel so clear, she said to Xu Biyi: "Sister, you say Fang Cai's words again." Xu Biyi stared at her a little strangely, but she still repeated what she had just said.
"I see. Wine is wine! Chu Liuyan smiled: "There is only one thing that can save Vice General Lan now, and that is wine." ”
"Wine?" Xu Biyi was puzzled.
"It's wine." Chu Liuyan said: "My mother likes chivalrous very much, and when she didn't leave us, she wrote a lot of chivalrous stories. I still remember that one of them was Wang Chongyang, the Quanzhen sect leader who wrote about the Song Dynasty. One day, the sect leader was sick and about to die, and he was afraid that the wicked would come to the Quanzhen Sect to make trouble, so he first pretended to be dead and lured the wicked man, and then broke out of the coffin and shot the wicked away. The frightened man didn't dare to come again, and Wang Chongyang died peacefully. When Sister Fang Cai Biyi talked about wine, she reminded me. I have here a kind of 'resurrection of a hundred dead souls,' and if you drink it in wine, and your whole body will be cold for twenty-four hours, it will be no different from death. When twenty-four hours had passed, the man would be alive again. ”
"Sister Chu, is there really such a medicine in the world?" Xu Biyi's eyes widened.
"Naturally, there is. This was made by my mother and her parents according to the recipe in the book. It's just that I haven't tried it to work. The so-called life and death have a fate, wealth is in the sky, until now, I can only try, and the dead horse has the right to be a live horse doctor. We secretly put a pill in the wine and let Lan Yu drink it. If he succeeds, he will be saved. If it doesn't work, there's no way around it. ”
Xu Biyi was very happy to hear this, she clapped her hands and said, "Sister Chu, you really have a way, no wonder my brother likes you so much." Chu Liuyan's face turned crimson again, but she didn't say anything.
The two of them discussed it, crushed the pill and put it in the wine, and then went to visit Lan Yu in the prison together.
When the guards guarding the prison saw Chu Liuyan and Xu Biyi, they immediately stopped them. Chu Liuyan said with a smile: "Two eldest brothers, we are here to send a pot of candied wine to Vice General Lan on the order of the eldest lady. Please be accommodating to the two eldest brothers, and we will definitely tell the eldest lady when we go back, and accept the love of the two. As she spoke, she took out a few taels of silver and put them into the hands of the two guards.
The two guards also heard a little about Ma Xiuying and Lan Yu, they knew that Ma Xiuying was Guo Zixing's pearl, how dare they not give Ma Xiuying face? can get silver taels again, and please Ma Xiuying, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it? What's more, Chu Liuyan and Xu Biyi are just two weak women, and there is no way for them to save people from this heavily guarded prison. So, the two guards immediately put Chu Liuyan and Xu Biyi in prison.
