Chapter 5: The Quest (7)
This night, I slept so deeply.
When Zheng Ziming woke up from the darkness again, he found himself in the back house of the Cangzhou Thorn Shi Yamen. The rich medicinal fragrance fills the nostrils and back, and the feeling of pain and itching is like a swarm of ants gnawing.
"Two inches below the left shoulder blade, three and a half inches into the flesh. It bypassed the bones, and it shouldn't hurt the internal organs. With a hunch's intuition, he quickly made a judgment about his injury.
If it doesn't hurt the internal organs, it won't be fatal. Prior coma, mainly due to excessive blood loss. Such a diagnosis made him secretly feel lucky. Immediately, I recalled in my mind that before I fell into a coma, Chang Wanying and Tao Sanchun were two-for-tat scenes.
Where did the two of them go? Will they both leave? A panic surged in his heart, and Zheng Ziming quickly turned around and looked at the door. The first thing that caught the eye was long black hair.
Chang Wanying was lying on the side of his bed with her head pressed against her arms and sleeping soundly. Slightly thin shoulders that rise and fall with your breathing. The clothes on the back, back and waist are crisscrossed with pleats. Obviously, she didn't have the time to clean up for a long time, which was incompatible with her previous clean and tidy living habits.
"It's all my fault, I haven't thought about what to do after procrastinating for so long!" A lot of guilt instantly surged up in his heart, Zheng Ziming sighed, and raised his hand to tidy up Chang Wanying's messy long hair. Before she could make contact with her fingers with her hair, Chang Wanying, who was in a coma, jumped up. His right hand touched his waist, and his left hand quickly went up to the grid, and with a "snap", his arm grid flew into the sky.
"Ahh The wound on the back hurts the heart.
"Are you awake?" you, are you okay!" Chang Wanying realized where she was, lowered her arms, and threw herself in front of the bed again, "You can be considered awake!
As the words fell, she quickly realized that her attitude was too intimate. Quickly straightened his waist again, took half a step back, and added loudly: "Since you're awake, don't pretend to be dead anymore." I'll take the prescription that Lang Zhong prescribed, and you can see if the medicine is appropriate. Although it is said that doctors do not treat themselves, at that time, in this Cangzhou territory, I really can't find Langzhong who is smarter than you!"
"Oh, I'll watch it right away!" Hearing that she didn't say that she wanted to leave immediately, Zheng Ziming secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Nodding his head, he whispered in response. "Please call a personal soldier for me to come in, things in the yamen need to be arranged a little. β
"What if you don't arrange it......?" Chang Wanying was still angry in her stomach, and instinctively wanted to taunt a few words. However, halfway through the words, seeing Zheng Ziming's bloodless face, I couldn't bear it in my heart. Sighing, he added in a low voice, "Don't worry, the sky won't fall." Although Fan Changshi's official reputation is not very good, his ability is no worse than his brother. The Pan Mei under your command is also a good person. With the two of them here, no one wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. β
"Whew-" Zheng Ziming exhaled again. For the sake of Cangzhou's peace and quiet, and for Chang Wanying's attitude towards herself finally eased.
"When your wounds heal, I'll leave immediately. Chang Wanying immediately felt relieved, glanced at him, and shook her head slightly, "I ......"
"Don't!" Zheng Ziming was shocked, and immediately stretched out a hand and grabbed Chang Wanying's wrist. It's like a drowning man grasping at a straw.
"You, what are you doing, you, you let go!" Chang Wanying struggled in shame, but she was afraid of affecting Zheng Ziming's wound again, so she didn't dare to use her strength. I could only keep a straight face and threaten loudly, "You, you quickly let go." In case someone sees ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, the door was suddenly gently pushed open from the outside. Hu Yanyun held a bowl of decoction in both hands and tiptoed in. Hearing that Chang Wanying was talking to Zheng Ziming, she was stunned, then quickened her pace, and said with a happy face: "Brother Zheng, are you awake?
"Kill Xiang Bianliang?" Zheng Ziming's six senses had just recovered, and his mind was far less sharp than usual. At first, he instinctively asked, and then understood the truth of the matter, "The assassin was sent by the imperial court? I thought he was from Youzhou! Did you ask for a confession? Could it be a trap laid by someone else?"
As a local official of Liu Hanguo, he thought in advance that Liu Chengyou might make things difficult for him in every possible way, that he might frame him, and that he might even directly send a general to the door with soldiers and horses and a holy decree without even looking for a reason! However, he never imagined that the other party would actually choose the unpopular method of "assassination."
Not to mention that the probability of failure of this solution is more than half, even if it succeeds by luck, after the news spreads, Liu Hanguo's local generals will definitely be in danger. The prestige and influence of the imperial court are bound to plummet.
However, Chang Wanying and Hu Yanyun's next words made him completely realize the helplessness and absurdity of reality.
"Of course they were sent by the imperial court? Although the Han Kuangsi brothers are shameless, they are not idiots! Send assassins to kill you, what else can you get except to expose that they no longer have the courage and strength to fight you head-on?"
"Pan Junshi caught the county lieutenant Li of that county, and the other party recruited them all. It was the leader of the Assassins who found him, took the Emperor's edict, and asked him to assist the Assassins in their treachery. He wanted to be a loyal servant, so he told the Assassins of your whereabouts in advance. And on the day of the incident, the catchers, archers, and helpers in the city were all locked up in the county office, and they were ordered not to go out a single step!"
"This ......" I didn't expect it to be really the generals under my command who rebelled, Zheng Ziming was stunned, and he felt dizzy in front of him. "This heartless bastard. He, he's really decisive!"
Although Li Yishan, the county lieutenant, is not his hardcore confidant, he is also the descendant he brought out, and his fame and wealth come from him. However, this person decisively defected because of a warrant that was difficult to distinguish between true and false. By analogy, if the imperial court sends troops to suppress the border one day, where does the Cangzhou army have the slightest chance of winning?
"Brother Zheng, you, don't be like him. That guy is cold by nature, and the other brothers will certainly not be like him. Guessing that Zheng Ziming would not feel good in his heart, Hu Yanyun thought about it and comforted him softly. "When Pan's army led his troops into the city, he didn't encounter any resistance at all. Including the local officials, they all looked down on the surnamed Li very much, and no one refused to help him, so Pan Junshi attacked the county government without firing an arrow. β
"The assassin who led the team was surnamed Zhou, and he was the commander of the forbidden army. In the name of the little emperor, he promised Li Yishan that after the deed was completed, he would give at least one Shangzhou assassin surnamed Li to Shidang. Lest Zheng Ziming delay his illness because of depression, Chang Wanying also considered her words and added in a low voice.
"This man doesn't have much knowledge. I just think that the imperial court is the biggest. Hu Yanyun's gaze inadvertently fell on Chang Wanying's wrist. The voice paused, and continued to add, "You take him to deal with the Khitans, he is not afraid of life and death. But against the imperial court, he didn't wait for the fight, and first moved the mind of surrender. β
There is no need to look, just by her voice, Chang Wanying sensitively realized what Hu Yanyun was paying attention to, quickly withdrew her hand, and said in a low voice: "This is also the reason why you rose too fast and your foundation is unstable." If my father had been replaced, there would have been confidants who had been with him for more than three years in every city, and this kind of problem would never have occurred. Don't talk about this, you drink the medicine first! Don't let down the kindness of the Huyan girl. β
"The medicine was picked by the elder sister of the Chang family. Hu Yanyun refused to bow, blushing and emphasizing.
"It's just a passing hand. Chang Wanying smiled, looked at Hu Yanyun and shook her head gently.
Her temperament was not strong in the first place, and Hu Yanyun admitted that she was at a loss in the past few days and took the initiative to back down. As a result, the hostility between the two has declined at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
Zheng Ziming didn't know how many days he had been in a coma, and he didn't know what had happened between the three women in these days. Seeing Chang Wanying and Hu Yanyun, you say one sentence and I one sentence, and they say it tacitly. Suddenly, he secretly wondered in his heart, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Blame me, I should have thought a long time ago that in the eyes of everyone, no matter how bad the court is, it is still right." Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and no one can force them. Senior sister, Sister Huyan, I've been asleep for a few days?
It was rare to hear him speak in such a gentle tone, and Hu Yanyun suddenly turned red with shame. He lowered his head and responded in a gnat-like voice, "No, it's not hard! You, you have to deal with the Khitan bandits, but also beware of the conspiracy of the imperial court. You, you're working so hard better than all three of us!"
"Two nights, plus one and a half days!" was Hu Yanyun's little daughter, and his heart was sour. Chang Wanying glanced at Zheng Ziming and added in a low voice. "It's not hard! it's just to feed you some soup and potions, so that you don't starve to death. Most of the things are done by Huyan girls. I haven't served much since I was a kid, so I can't do these things!"
"Sister Chang has been by your side, and she hasn't closed her eyes for a day or two nights!" Hu Yanyun heard this, and his face turned even redder. Shaking his head, he continued to say in a gnat-like voice, "Although the elder sister of the Tao family is eager to immediately lead the troops to Bianliang to find the emperor to ask for the guilt, she has been with you for the past few days, until she found out that your fever has subsided this morning, and then she went to the barracks to discuss things." Yours, the crossbow bolt on your back, she pulled it out with her own hands. Medicine, medicine is also applied by her own hands. β
"It's really hard for the three of you!" Zheng Ziming didn't know what to say, so he secretly looked at Chang Wanying's face and thanked him in a low voice. "You don't have to do this kind of thing yourself. Just hand it over to Lang Zhong. β
"No, it's not difficult!" Hu Yanyun raised his head and glanced at him quickly, blushing and waving his hand, "Brother Zheng, we, the three of us all wish you would get better soon." We, the three of us, all three of us are willing to serve you!"
"It's the two of you, not including me!" Chang Wanying was ashamed and immediately turned around to leave.
"My own family, why bother to say such kind words. If I get hurt, I'm sure you'll be just as undressed!" At the door, Tao Sanchun's loud voice came, and he was careless, and he actually stood up to Chang Wanying's words.
The shyness on Chang Wanying's face quickly turned into anger. wanted to pull his legs away, but he was unwilling to cheapen the "shameless" woman in front of him. I want to stay, but I can't bear this bad breath in my heart. In an instant, he was in a dilemma.
At this moment, Hu Yanyun turned around, grabbed her clothes, and refused to let go, "Brother Zheng, Sister Chang, I don't know how many times I've cried for you in the past few days." She, although she said it ruthlessly, she always had you in her heart and heart. Me, me and my sister of the Tao family, too, are the same!"
