Chapter 48: The Dawn of Darkness
Fang Qiushui, who came out of the middle hall, gave Li Xiao a set of official clothes and a corn tortilla for the inspection officer, he comforted Li Xiao a few words, asked a few more words, and saw that Li Xiao was too sad and tired, so he retreated.
After Li Xiao ate the cake, he didn't even have time to drink water, changed into his official clothes, and lay on the ground on the mattress, holding his sword and clothes and falling asleep.
Many of the officers and servants of the Inspection Department took advantage of the chaos to escape, and a few brave foreign soldiers also stole the remaining horses and burned the forage house. Murder and arson, robbery and arson, theft even set fire.
Without a thousand miles of horses, the possibility of forcibly escaping on horseback is cut off.
In the entire inspection department, only the white-armored guards are still standing guard.
After giving Li Xiao clothes and food, Fang Qiushui wanted to leave with his family, but he learned from the secret agent that the 5,000 soldiers of Yuanyangwei and the 3,000 soldiers of the city defense battalion had surrounded the Shiyang Town Market, and he, as one of the leaders of Hua Zhongxian, would definitely be severely punished. He personally killed one of Ma Baiyu's cronies, the inspector of the Shiyang Town Market Inspection Department, and Ma Baiyu would definitely not spare him for this crime.
He looked at his wife and old mother in the crowd, and couldn't help but feel a trace of fear: Will I really affect my relatives and kill my loved ones? Is it wrong for me to follow the big master? Ma Baiyu assassinated the big master, he is a person who does not abide by morality, and I, as the son-in-law of the Ping family, is also the right choice to protect the interests of the Ping family.
The eldest brother-in-law Ping Kehu and the younger brother-in-law Ping Keyu are the key to him becoming the deputy inspector. His uncle followed Hua Zhongxian, could he still follow him? Following the illegitimate son of the scholar of the palace and following Hua Zhongxian was the best choice, after Fang Qiushui figured it out, there was a kind of pride in sacrificing his life and treating death as his home.
Fang Qiushui didn't feel sleepy, he found the sleeping child in the middle hall, whispered a few words of comfort to his wife, and then walked out of the middle hall and went to the backyard to urge the servants and servants of the inspection department to bury the stove and cook. Since you can't escape, let's talk about it when you're full. When you are full, you have the energy to come up with a way to escape.
Behind the screen in the middle hall, Green Tea took advantage of the candlelight to feed Hua Zhongxian, the medicine is a first-class good medicine, Hua Zhongxian has been out of danger, he looked at the green tea and black tea with the remaining eye, and said to the green tea in a very soft voice and at a very slow speed: "Little girl, am I ugly and scary?"
Green Tea blinked, stroked Hua Zhongxian's arm and said, "Shizi, you are not a man who eats with your face?
Hua Zhongxian wanted to laugh, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his mouth was torn and painful. He had no choice but to change haha to hehe, he raised his left hand with only two fingers left, and said to Green Tea: "Is Linghu still alive without illness?"
"Probably not dead yet?"
"Go and give him a red flower elixir, you can't let him die. Green Tea poured out an elixir from the bottle and handed it to the white-armored guard outside the screen, and after a few words, the white-armored guard bowed out of the door of the central hall.
Pinkeryu outside the screen was on duty at night, and after hearing what Green Tea said to the white-armored guard, he thought: My brother is seriously injured, and he didn't see Hua Zhongxian send a pill to the chief minister, Ling Hu Wuzhi is something, he suppressed his anger through the screen, and said: "Shizi, Ling Hu Wuxian is just a dog of Zhang Yifeng, it is better to slaughter it." ”
Hua Zhongxian's only remaining eye showed a hint of ferocity, and he said sharply: "Ping Xundao, I have long wanted to kill him." The fierce light in his eyes quickly dimmed again, and he continued: "He is the apprentice of the Immortal Mountain Ancestor. In this difficult time, Hua Zhongxian no longer hides the truth from the loyal people around him.
"What?" "The Immortal Mountain Ancestor is far away in Saibei, "How can Linghu be the apprentice of the Immortal Mountain Ancestor?"
Hua Zhongxian coughed a few times before he said: "Linghu Wuji of the Jinniu Town Market and Linghu Wuji of the Shenma Town Market are also the apprentices of the Ancestor of the Underworld. ”
The Stygian Mountain is located in the north of the Saibei, which was originally the immortal mountain of the Dao Sect in the Northern Regions, and was later occupied by the ancestor of the Underworld. Pinklu had heard that the Ancestor of the Underworld Mountain had raised a lot of dry mouth deer, and he was the most powerful qi refining cultivator in the Northern Regions, and he was already more than a white man, and he relied on evil methods to maintain his Changchun immortality.
Because the ancestor of the Underworld Mountain was surnamed Linghu before cultivating, most of his apprentices changed their surnames to Linghu.
Pinker said: "How did these apprentices of the Immortal Mountain Ancestor get to Yuanyang City?"
Linghu Wuji is a native of the Northern Regions, but Linghu Wuji is a native of Yuanyang City. Hua Zhongxian said: "Because I arrived in Yuanyang City." "The apprentice of the Immortal Mountain Ancestor has also developed to Yuanyang City.
Pinkeryu was angry in his heart, he and Pinkerhu were both literate and martial, and the literati were inevitably sour and rotten, his face changed color, and he walked out of the middle hall with his sleeves brushed up, and said in his heart: If you are not an official, you will be easy to provoke evil people.
Green Tea poked his head out of the screen, and when he saw Ping Keyu angrily walking out of the door of the central hall, he smiled at Hua Zhongxian and said, "Shizi, this Ping Xun's temper is so big?"
Hua Zhongxian exhaled a sullen breath and said, "It's okay, the literati are just arrogant." "Xindao: I can't help it, I want to climb up and gain more power, and I have to make friends with all kinds of forces. Pinker is a little trainer who knows about my ambitions.
Hua Zhongxian is quiet on the outside, but he is extremely uneasy on the inside. Now, I'm trapped in the Shiyang Town Market, and I can't show my enthusiasm. It's better to wait for rescue than to go out, and I have to find a way to save myself until it comes.
Green Tea muttered quietly, still complaining that Pinkeryu didn't understand humility.
Black Tea smiled silently, she was deaf and dumb, but extremely intelligent, she took Hua Zhongxian's right hand to look at it.
Hua Zhongxian understood and said to Green Tea: "Little girl, you go and let Linghu Wuxian go now, don't let others see it." ”
A true politician knows how to control his anger and how to deal with his former enemies according to the best strategy.
"Now?"
"Yes, immediately, immediately. ”
Green Tea stuck out her tongue at Black Tea, squeezed her eyes, and jumped out.
Hua Zhongxian took one of the black tea's hands and said affectionately: "Child, it's better for you to be thoughtful." ”
Black Tea put his other hand on the back of Hua Zhongxian's hand, and looked at it, his eyes rolling, and his expression was extremely concerned.
Hua Zhongxian understood and said, "My good boy, I'm completely fine. Hey, I shouldn't have brought you to Yuanyang City. Now that I'm trapped here, I'm afraid that there will be less luck. ”
Black Tea shook her head, tears in her eyes.
Hua Zhongxian smiled: "Child, don't be afraid, I have always been lucky, and this time will be no exception." ”
Black Tea nodded, barely squeezing out a smile.
Hua Zhongxian wanted to raise his hand to touch Black Tea's head, but his hand couldn't be raised, he looked at Black Tea's beautiful eyes and said, "I've asked Daoist Sunset to focus on protecting you and Green Tea." You can take care of yourself, I have my own way to get out. ”
After nodding, Black Tea gently leaned his side face against Hua Jong-hyun's chest, closed his eyes, and showed a slightly reassuring expression on his face.
