Chapter 103 A Man with Many Hearts
A dream, so long that it seems to have no end. In his dreams, there was always a woman's quiet eyes, and the hands that were grinding ink and paper for him, sewing clothes and mending clothes.
Behind the woman, there was a vast expanse. Faintly, in that dark and distant place, there was a golden iron horse, and there was whistling beacon smoke. There is a figure that is gradually moving away, but it never disappears.
The name choked in his throat, but he couldn't scream, and those distant sharp smokes, within reach, could not be touched in any way. All that was close in front of me was the woman's gaze, the woman's call.
"East Fence, East Fence!"
Wanzhen, Wanzhen, the wife he misses and can't forget.
In the dream, his thoughts were vague and vague, and he knew that he must have forgotten something important and neglected something important. Far away, who is the figure in the darkness, why is it so painful that my heart is broken, but I can't remember the name.
He can't think, he can't remember. He couldn't remember what he had forgotten, and his hair-tied wife was right in front of him, just a stone's throw away, her brows and eyes dark, her face emaciated, and the traces of life passing away from her little by little.
Wanzhen ......
He stretched out his hand, but he didn't know what he was trying to hold. Wanzhen, in this life, I owe you deeply.
And in the midst of the chaos, the woman just smiled. Such a gentle smile is always quiet and warm.
"East Fence...... East Fence! ”
The dream gradually dimmed, and the mind was still dim. Who is calling, who is supporting? Who is still staying together in such deep darkness and so thick blood?
The voice seemed far and near, clear enough to seem to be in the ear, and vague to the point that it seemed to be far away at the end of the sky.
"East Fence...... East Fence! ”
Wanzhen's eternally gentle female voice is distorted and transformed. In a trance, it was already another almost unfamiliar, but obviously familiar male voice, full of care.
He was dazed for a long time, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he finally really woke up, and only then did he notice the breath of the person next to him.
Winding roads!
The voice called him sober, and it was a long way off.
"You've finally woken up." Feng Jinjie breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm already a little worried, maybe it's too heavy when I click on your sleeping hole."
The voice was a little happy, but Lu Dongli was distracted.
No wonder this dream is so long that it seems to have no end. This is not normal sleep. Instead, he was forced to sleep......
Why?
Lu Dongli would not suspect that this crooked path would harm him, but his mind moved, and he immediately thought of Su Wanzhen. Could it be that Su Wanzhen had an accident, and Qu Daoyuan didn't want to know about it......
When I think about it like this, my face has changed color.
Feng Jinjie knew that he was a wise and versatile person, although he was discouraged and lazy. I don't care about anything outside of my body. But when it comes to caring things, his reaction must be keen, so he doesn't let him think about it more, hands him the dry food and water bag, and sighs: "You haven't eaten for more than a day, so let's eat a little first." You can rest assured, and the good news is that you can rest assured. Mrs. Lu is safe. ”
Listen to the words of the Wind Festival. Lu Dongli was confused at first. Then he shook all over his body, and his face froze. And then suddenly.
His eyes were half crippled, and in the darkness of the night, he was no different from being completely blind. However, the dirt beneath him, the insects in his ears, the damp coolness of his cheeks and feet, and the peculiar smell of rotting leaves in the dense forest in his nose, all of them could be judged by him, and they were fleeing for refuge. So what kind of accident could have happened before and after?
Feng Jinjie secretly rejoiced in his heart. After all these years of suffering, this person's insight has not been wiped out: "That's right, the bad news is that the news that you are still alive is afraid that it will be leaked." The so-called serious illness of Mrs. Lu is actually a trap that lures you into an ambush. ”
Lu Dongxi's eyes were flustered, Feng Jinjie knew what he was worried about, and hurriedly gave him a reassuring pill: "Don't worry." Although I haven't met Mrs. Lu yet, so I can't know the details, but I can be sure that before I catch you, Mrs. Lu, the most useful bait in the world, will definitely be fine. ”
Lu Dongli put down the water in his hand, stretched out his hand and touched it in the void, and reluctantly withdrew his fist. It's night, and it's wild, and they can't light a bonfire and expose their targets right now. So in the dark, he is scribbling, how can he see Qu Daoyuan.
Feng Jinjie smiled, spread his palm, and handed it to his fingers.
Lu Dongli hesitated slightly, and finally wrote in his palm: "How do you know?" ”
"At the beginning, I was on a journey with you, and I was really concerned about the turmoil, and I never doubted it. But whenever I changed horses and bought food, I would also inquire about Mrs. Lu's illness in the local area, but I could not get any additional new information, and all the notices were the same, only saying that she was seriously ill, and how heavy it was but not clear. After a long time, my mind gradually settled, and I felt that something was wrong. The family attaches great importance to it and the people love it, but after all, it is not the queen mother who is first-class, how can there be a reason to alarm the whole country for the illness of one person. Even if it is a list to seek medical treatment, it should be the county, government, and county to which the Lu family belongs, and due to the aggravation of the condition, the medical treatment is ineffective, and the list is posted in turn. If the list is posted in order, the details of the content should always be different. And now it's so the same, but it can only be that the whole country is on the list for one woman at the same time. Think about it again, how can even the remote village where we were originally located send people to post the list? It's not normal. ”
Feng Jinjie said sarcastically: "Of course, this is actually just a small suspicion. It is not impossible for the current emperor to show his loyalty and conscience by using this to show his own love and loyalty. So, although I was vaguely uneasy, I was not really suspicious. When I ordered you to sleep in the cave, I just wanted to explore the situation first, for fear that you would be impatient. ”
Feng Jinjie said in a deep voice: "After I entered the town alone, I didn't dare to be in a hurry, so I went to the inn in the town to stay first." But I found that when the innkeeper registered my Lu Yin Guan Wen, he was very serious. ”
Lu Dongli's expression moved slightly.
People who go out of the house, go through the city, and stay overnight, must rely on the road to guide the customs text. Those who have no way to guide more than 100 miles away from home, once they are found out, they are regarded as chaotic parties and thieves. This was originally a policy laid down by the government for the sake of national stability and ease of managing the people.
The implementation of this kind of policy has always been greatly discounted. For hundreds of years, when registering the road guide, it may be deliberately difficult to ask for some money to buy the road. Get some extra bribes. In order to make money in business, the inn basically turns a blind eye. Even if there is a problem with people's Guan Wenlu guides, they will pretend not to notice it. Who would have trouble with their own money bags?
Now, the innkeeper actually registered this seriously, saying that it was legal and reasonable, but it was unusual.
"I was pretending to be impatient, and I had a small seizure, saying that I had traveled all over the world, and I had never seen such a troublesome inn, and the shopkeeper had to explain to me softly. It is said that recently, the government is said to crack down on thieves and gangsters. From time to time, check the inns of all parties, if the relevant local guidance documents are incomplete, or the guests cannot get out of the authentic and credible identity certificate, the inn will not be able to get rid of it. ”
Feng Jinjie sneered: "Naturally, it is the duty of the inn to carefully inspect the road guide, and it is a merit for the government to clean up local security, I really want to say it." It all makes sense. It's just that. At this very moment, and at the right time, I could not help but suspect that someone was trying to find someone who they thought would be going to fall into the trap. ”
Feng Jinjie looked at Lu Dongli's expression, knowing that there was still a trace of luck in his heart, and he refused to believe in the worst possibility.
"I don't think that's enough. So I drank in the inn, and asked about Mrs. Lu's illness, and said that I had learned a little medicine, and that I might be able to cure the disease and receive a reward. As a result, the customers in the store laughed hungrily. Originally. All the doctors who read the list and came to treat Mrs. Lu's illness. All of them have undergone strict checks, not only to scrutinize identity documents. It is also necessary to ask where to practice medicine, how many years of practice, whether it has fame and reputation, etc., and then the imperial doctor from the capital will personally examine the medical skills. After passing the customs one by one, I can go to Mrs. Lu for consultation. For someone like me, who has only occasionally learned a little bit of three-legged cat medicine, it is better not to be humiliated. ”
Lu Dongli struggled, and finally slowly wrote in Feng Jinjie's hand: "It seems to be excusable to do this." ”
"Naturally. People all over the world are greedy for heavy rewards, and they are coming one after another, in order to prevent quacks from misleading people, careful assessment can also be said to be reasonable. It's just that I can't think that some people know that I am by your side and know that I know medical skills, so in order to prevent me from pretending to be a famous doctor to visit Mrs. Lu, I have to carefully check every doctor who comes to the door? ”
Feng Jinjie snorted: "Indeed, these doubts can be reasonably explained, and no one else can see the clue now." But since I am a man of many hearts, I will not let it go lightly. So I drank and ate tea, wandered around, paid attention to the conversation in the streets, and heard another interesting rumor. ”
His eyes flashed: "The general in charge of military affairs in this county happened to be transferred to another place before the news of Mrs. Lu's serious illness came out, and now the soldiers and horses of this county are being led by the newly sent cadres of the imperial court. ”
He stared at Lu Dongli and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who the original general of this county was?" ”
Lu Dongli's expression was gloomy. He has not asked about the major events in the world for a long time, who is the official and where, and where he knows. But he is a very smart person, listening to the wind festival slowly one thing after another, where do you not know anything, his fingers trembled slightly, and finally slowly drew out: "But the old people who were far away from Dingyuan back then?" ”
The wind festival smiled happily. Such a keen Lu Dongli is the Lu Dongli he is familiar with!
"Yes, Major General Zhao Guoxiang, Dingyuan was your old department back then, and now he is a general in various places, each guarding one side. It is said that the local general still deliberately sent a letter to the imperial court back then, asking to stay here, in order to facilitate the care of his relatives for the late marshal. If one day you were born again and asked him for help, would he do his best to help? ”
At this moment, there is already a sharp battle intent between the eyebrows and eyes of the wind jinjie, and it is flying endlessly.
"Of course, if the imperial court wants to arrest a mere Lu Dongli, it only needs to use the master of Ouchi and the royal spies, and it is better if the army can or not, this general may not know about it at all. However, in order to prevent accidents, it is the most appropriate to transfer people. ”
Feng Jinjie snorted coldly: "After that, I pretended to be an idler, changed my face, and wandered around the town. Intentionally or unintentionally, I walked outside the gate of Nalu Mansion several times. Of course, I am very careful about my behavior, whether I look at the goods of the vendors, or ask passers-by for directions, or I bring wine and drunkenness, or go with prostitutes, in short, so that no one will suspect my behavior. And every time I pass by Lu Mansion, I always pay attention to the movements around Lu Mansion, and sure enough, I find that in several high-rise buildings near Lu Mansion, in the rooms with the best sight, there are always people who always pay attention to the movements of everyone around Lu Mansion. Even the few guards at the side door of the Lu Mansion seem to be ordinary, but they are extremely long in and out, and they are also hidden masters. ”
At this point, Lu Dongli no longer had the heart to be lucky, thinking that he had affected others several times, and now even his loved ones were burdened by him, and his expression gradually became gloomy.
Feng Jinjie raised his eyebrows and sneered: "At that time, I can basically conclude that my speculation is good, but after all, it is a matter of life and death for Mrs. Lu, no matter how many doubts there are, even if there is a possibility, I don't dare to make a decision." So I immediately went to find the underworld figure nearby, planning to hire a top underworld master with a lot of money, and under the pretext of asking him to go to Mrs. Lu in Lufu for me to steal a royal treasure that was actually unnecessary, and he would explore the way for me. But I didn't expect ......"
