Chapter 112: Deliverance
Ma Liu recognized the identity of the other party and belonged to the people on Li Yifeng's side, which made Chen Jianchen suspicious - the matter was too coincidental, could it really be as the old saying goes, "no coincidence is not a book"?
For a moment, he couldn't think about it, because Jiaona's eyes around him were already on the fiery red fox on horseback, which was bound by hemp rope.
No need to ask, it must be the emperor's grandfather.
Outside the emperor who showed his original form, his body was injured in many places, and he could see that he was bloodstained, and he was clearly seriously injured, and he drooped his head, and he didn't know if he was unconscious, and he didn't move.
Chen Jianchen grabbed Jiao Na, who was about to go crazy, signaled her not to act rashly, turned to Ma Liu and whispered: "Ma Liu, you quickly find a reason to go up and keep the other party." ”
With the current situation, it has not yet reached the point of directly "drawing the knife against each other", if Jiao Na is allowed to act, she will definitely kill the other party as soon as she makes a move, and there will be no turning back from this killing.
Ma Liu didn't know why, but Chen Jianchen spoke, and Miss didn't say anything against it, so she should do it as ordered. He quickly ran to the official road and shouted, "Shihuyuan, my young lady is invited." ”
Although he is a coachman, he has a strong ability to deal with randomly.
Hearing this, Chen Jianchen immediately thought of a way, and said something to Jiao Na with his ear, Jiao Na wanted to attack desperately and snatch back her father, but when she met Chen Jianchen's eyes, she saw the firmness in the other party's eyes, so she agreed-or, Mr. is right, in the world, you should rely more on wisdom to do things in the world, and if you just rely on force, it will only make a mess of things.
Aren't these things what Daddy longs for him to learn?
Ma Liu blocked the way, the other party really reined in the horses, the three of them were all guests under Li Yifeng's door, with some kung fu, they became the Li family's guard, bodyguard, and the leader's surname was Shi, so Ma Liu asked him to be a stone guard.
Seeing that it was Ma Liu blocking the road, Shi Huyuan was a little impatient and shouted: "You coachman is so reckless." "He is a member of the Li family, and he has always been used to flying and domineering, if it weren't for the background of the Huangfu family, he would have thrown a horsewhip earlier.
Ma Liu smiled and said, "I don't know where the stone nursing home is going? ”
Miss Huangfu?
The three of them swept their eyes into the Storm Pavilion and saw Jiao Na and Chen Jianchen standing side by side, and they didn't wonder in their hearts: He had heard of the delicate lady of the Huangfu family, but why did she look for herself for no reason?
However, the other party was the daughter of the Huangfu family, and they didn't want to be invited, so they dismounted, walked over, and greeted him: "Shi Hong has seen Miss Huangfu, I don't know what Miss Huangfu commands?"
The Huangfu family is one of the top big families in Suzhou, with a head and a face, the Huangfu is black and white, and his ability is not small, and he has done business in several state capitals, and he also has a lot of business dealings with Li Yifeng. Shi Hong is just a guest of the Li family, so he is naturally polite to Miss Huangfu.
Jiao Na suppressed the impulse in her heart and asked according to Chen Jianchen's instructions, "Where did Shi Huyuan go hunting early in the morning?"
Shi Hong replied: "Tell Miss Huangfu that I am not going to hunt, but on the order of my family's senior officials to search for the corpse of the big snake in the Nanling Canyon of Dongshan. ”
"The corpse of the serpent?"
Jiao Na was suspicious.
Shi Hong explained: "Recently, there is a big snake that has caused trouble in Dongshan, and the young lady must have heard about it, so the big officials of my family specially unveiled the official list and asked Zhang Tianshi to set up an altar to kill the big snake with a flying sword. Last night, when the Heavenly Master succeeded in his practice, the official ordered me and the other three to rush to the mountain early in the morning to find the corpse of the big snake so that I could be a witness. ”
-- The matter of Zhang Tianshi's practice of setting up an altar has long been spread, and it has spread throughout almost the entire township near Suzhou, and it has reached the point of becoming a household name.
Chen Jianchen next to him heard this, and frowned--things didn't seem to go as expected.
Jiao Na took a deep breath and asked, "In that case, shouldn't the Stone Guardian Courtyard carry the corpse of the big snake back, and why are there roe deer, rabbits, foxes, and other prey tied to the horse?"
Shi Hong said abruptly: "We didn't find the body of the big snake, but we saw a mess in the canyon over there, and the trees were broken and violent, but we didn't know what happened." As for these prey, we caught them on the way back, and this red fox was picked up halfway. ”
Speaking of the task assigned by the big officials, Shi Hong and the three of them were originally very resistant. You must know that although the Heavenly Master's method is said to have been successful, it is all a one-sided statement, and who knows what is going on? If a big snake does not die, does it not mean that they are killing themselves?
Therefore, they were very cautious in this operation, and they touched the camp step by step, and they saw the fierce battlefield last night, and they were surprised, could it really be that the Heavenly Master flew with a sword and flew over to fight a big battle with the big snake? But in this case, where did the big snake go? Could it be that he did not kill, but ran away?
With this judgment, the three of them did not dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly retreated, but in order to win the trust of Li Daguan, they took some prey, and found a big fox with fiery fur in the grass on the side of a mountain road, where was lying in a coma with injuries.
It's a door-to-door gift.
Shi Huyuan could think with his toes that this fox was probably the one who was harmed by the pond fish, and immediately tied it with a rope, ready to take it back and sell it, and make some money to spend, which can be regarded as the reward of this frightened mission.
Looking at the fox tied up on horseback, Jiaona was so excited that she blocked her throat in the next sentence and couldn't say it several times.
Seeing this, Chen Jianchen on the side hurriedly took a step forward and arched his hand: "Shi Huyuan is polite, Xiaosheng is Miss Huangfu's new teacher, in fact, this is the case, Miss Huangfu saw that this fox's fur was a little unique, so she wanted to ask Shi Huyuan if she was willing to cut her love and sell it to us?"
Seeing Chen Jianchen's clothing and temperament, he knew that he was a scholar, Shi Huyuan didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the courtesy, and heard that Miss Huangfu was going to buy the fox, and he was even more overjoyed-
A fox with red fur is also strange and valuable. It's just that this one is covered in blood, with many injuries and scars, and its value will be greatly discounted; if you take it out and sell it, it is estimated that it will not be easy to sell, and now that Miss Huangfu has taken a fancy to it on the way, it will naturally be a good business if you can sell it to her.
At that moment, he said: "I see, since Miss Huangfu has taken a fancy to it, but please just make a price." But in my heart, I thought that if the other party let me make a price casually, then it would be better to dare to be affectionate......
In fact, Jiao Na opened her mouth to say this, all because she had never made a living, where did she know how to distinguish between high and low prices and money. Fortunately, Chen Jianchen reacted faster and said first: "Shi Huyuan has worked hard, this price is indispensable, how about a hundred?"
This price has exceeded Shi Hong's bottom line, and he was overjoyed, and he glanced at the two companions, and immediately agreed: "No problem." "Quickly take the fox from the horse and hand it over, as if she was afraid that Jiaona would regret it.
Unexpectedly, Jiao Na immediately took it, loosened the tie, and held the fiery red fox tightly in her arms, her eyes were red, and even tears fell.
This performance is a bit unusual.
Chen Jianchen hurriedly explained: "Don't hide it from you, Miss Huangfu is immature and kind-hearted, and she can't get used to seeing small animals being injured and bleeding. When they see it, they will have compassion and try to save it. ”
Shi Hong suddenly felt remorse in his heart: I knew this, I shouldn't have killed them ruthlessly when I hunted those roe deer rabbits and the like before, if I had left a breath and left more blood, maybe Miss Huangfu would also be merciful and buy it together, although the price would not be too high, but at least it was much better than stewing and eating......
Over there, Ma Liu heard Chen Jianchen's words, and Zhang Er King Kong was confused: Miss is caring? This seems to be a bit false. However, in the current situation, where is it his turn to intervene as a groom, even if he can speak, he will not tear down his family's platform.
Chen Jianchen said again: "Shihuyuan, we don't have enough money now, why don't you go to the village with the car to withdraw it, I don't know if it's convenient for you?" ”
Shi Hong said "convenient" in a loud voice...... I also have some doubts in my heart: whether this Mr. Karma's performance is too "out of line", it is simply that he is making decisions in charge, and Miss Huangfu has no opinion at all.
Could it be ......
Looking at Chen Jianchen's appearance, he suddenly had a guess: Could it be that the emperor's husband invited a gentleman outside, and it was true that he recruited a son-in-law? Otherwise, where in the world would there be such a young gentleman.
After figuring it out, he was relieved, and he no longer dwelled on this issue, anyway, as long as he got a hundred yuan, it didn't matter who paid for it.
One hundred yuan is equal to one hundred silver ingots, which is equal to his five-year nursing home's remuneration, even if it is three parts, it is a windfall. Hehe, it seems that this trip was not in vain, and after returning to the village, Li Daguan has another reward.
Soon, Jiao Na and Chen Jianchen got into the carriage and began to drive back to Huzhuang, while the three of them followed behind on horseback, laughing and talking loudly.
In the carriage, he was at a loss for his father Jiaona, who was covered with wounds, and looked at Chen Jianchen like a help.
Chen Jianchen asked, "You haven't learned any spells that can heal?"
Jiaona shook her head: "No. ”
"Do you have any external medicine with you?"
Jiaona shook her head again.
】
Chen Jianchen sighed, it seems that he has to be a "veterinarian" temporarily, hugged the emperor's staff, carefully examined it, and saw that most of the injuries on its body were skin injuries, which were not serious, and there might be internal injuries that could not be seen, so he had nothing to do but return to Huzhuang first and then make plans.
After a while, when they returned to the village, Jiao Na came forward to ask the account office to withdraw the silver to Shi Hong and them, and the three of them took the heavy money and went away with a smile.
Jiao Na and Chen Jianchen entered the room outside the imperial palace to find medicine to treat them.
