Chapter 20: The General Returns Home
Beijing, Xuande Street, General's Mansion.
Cai Rongrong in the hospital.
"Mother, what's wrong with you? Looking at Cai Rongrong, Guo Lin looked panicked and overwhelmed, after all, Guo Lin was only ten years old, and his heart was not yet mature, and he suddenly encountered a big event, so he didn't know what to do.
Cai Rongrong, who was originally graceful and luxurious, has changed greatly at this time.
Not only are the clothes messy, but the long hair is not combed.
His face was still stupid, and there was saliva on the corners of his mouth.
Regarding Guo Lin's interrogation, Cai Rongrong didn't seem to hear it, but kept licking her fingers.
"Young Master Lin, Doctor Zhang from Renxin Hall is here. Li'er ran in panting, dragging an old man behind her. In the General's Mansion, all the subordinates know that Guo Lin must not be called 'Second Young Master', otherwise Guo Lin will definitely not give him a good face.
"Quick, quick, help my mother take a look. ”
Guo Lin seemed to grasp the life-saving straw and said loudly.
The old man who was dragged by Li'er was Jiang Jiuzhen, the attending physician of Renxintang, and his acupuncture technique can be described as superb, as long as the patient has a breath, Yan Luo will not accept the nine needles after they go down, and he is nicknamed 'ghost sorrow'. Although Jiang Jiuzhen has a good reputation among the people, he didn't dare to put up a shelf when he entered the General's Mansion, so he hurriedly opened the medicine box and took out the tools to help Cai Rongrong diagnose.
Looking, smelling, asking, cutting, all means were used.
But the 'ask' naturally has no effect.
Cai Rongrong can only say 'ah', 'ah', 'hey', etc., some simple words.
As the examination deepened, Jiang Jiuzhen's brows were wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
"Doctor Zhang, how is my mother?"
Guo Lin naturally sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
Jiang Jiuzhen's face turned bitter, he withdrew his right hand that cut the pulse, hesitated, and said, "Mother Ling's body is normal, but her face is stupid, she can't see people, and she acts like a baby." Judging from the old man's experience, most of the mothers were suddenly frightened, which led to ...... Lost Soul ......"
"Lost soul?"
Guo Lin couldn't believe it.
There is a folk legend since ancient times that human beings are composed of souls and **.
The soul is composed of three souls and seven spirits.
The so-called loss of soul is the loss of a soul or a soul.
But legends are legends after all, and there is no written source to confirm them.
"The old man is ashamed, ashamed, the sick old man of Ling Mother really has no choice, and the old man will leave. Seeing that Guo Lin's expression was not good, Jiang Jiuzhen packed up his tools and said goodbye directly. Who knows how Cai Rongrong got lost soul, the life of nobles has never been a gentle drizzle, conspiracy and trickery will always be the main theme of it, Jiang Jiuzhen doesn't want to be involved in it.
looked at Jiang Jiuzhen, who fled like a plague.
Guo Lin was furious, grabbed a porcelain vase and threw it out.
"Bastard...... Roll ......"
Seeing the delicate porcelain vase, it was about to fall on the door and fall apart. A big hand suddenly reached in from outside the door, grasping the porcelain vase with unmistakable accuracy, and at the same time, a majestic voice also came in, "Lin'er, what's the matter? How many times have I told you, no matter what time it is, you have to hold your breath." ”
"Father... You're finally back..."
Guo Lin was stunned for a moment, and knelt on the ground with tears on his face.
A cold wind blew in, and there was already a middle-aged man in the room. The man was eight feet tall and covered in glittering golden armor, which was covered with scratches, and was obviously experienced in a hundred battles. A pair of tiger eyes stared at Guo Lin fiercely, and scolded, "Get up, how can the men of our Guo family kneel down easily, even if you die, you will stand for me." ”
was rushed by the middle-aged man's anger, Guo Lin's face turned red.
But it's hard to even exhale.
Where did he dare to resist the middle-aged man's order, and stood up with a trembling body.
The middle-aged man is none other than Guo Shengze, the general of the Qi State, and also a viscount of the Qi State.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Guo Shengze's eyes, and he turned his head to look at Cai Rongrong. With just one glance, Guo Shengze's face changed, Fang Zheng's face immediately darkened, and he asked in a cold voice, "Lin'er, what's going on?"
"Father... Dear, last night, a thief attacked the mansion, knocked Li'er unconscious, killed Steward Guan, and my mother woke up like this. Just now, Dr. Zhang from Renxintang also came to see him, and he said that his mother had ...... Lost souls. Guo Lin wiped a handful of tears and cried, "Father, you must catch the thief and avenge your mother." ”
"Okay, what does crying look like?"
Guo Shengze waved his hand and asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"
"Offend people...... No......"
Hearing Guo Shengze's question, Guo Lin lowered his head and thought about it.
"Oh, yes...... A month ago, the eldest brother moved out of the mansion and took over the pharmacy business in Dongcheng. Except for this incident, there are no other major events happening in the mansion!" After thinking about it for a long time, Guo Lin didn't come up with a reason, so he had to answer truthfully.
"Good, good, really my good lady. ”
Guo Shengze's tiger eyes popped up with a gleam.
But he guessed Cai Rongrong's calculation in an instant, but the wood was already in the boat, and Guo Shengze couldn't change it.
Looking at the stupid Cai Rongrong, Guo Lin pretended to be bold and asked, "Father, what about my mother?"
"Hehe~" Cai Rongrong ignored the others, just sucked her fingers, looked at the screen in the corner of the room and smirked, her fingers slid on the flowers on the screen from time to time, obviously very interested in the colorful embroidery on the screen.
Seeing Cai Rongrong become like this, Guo Shengze's anger also dissipated a lot.
After all, she has been a husband and wife with Cai Rongrong for decades.
"Wolf soul, you let me in. Guo Shengze shouted.
Step, step, step...... With the sound of running......
A silver-armored young man entered the room and saluted Guo Shengze, "General, I don't know what to order?"
"Take my personal guards, give you three days to find out the murderer who attacked the General's Mansion, and arrest him to see me, preferably alive. By the way, the murderer can kill Guan Yun, at least he is a strong man at the level of a general, and you are allowed to carry an armor-piercing crossbow, and you can shoot it directly as a last resort. Guo Shengze opened his mouth and ordered, not at all worried about whether the silver-armored youth could complete the task, obviously very confident in the ability of the silver-armored youth.
"Yes, General. ”
The silver-armored youth said loudly.
"Okay, you go out!" Guo Shengze waved his hand.
Step, step, step...... Seeing the silver-armored young man turn to leave, Guo Shengze turned his head to Guo Lin and said, "Help your mother, let's go out and find someone to help your mother see a doctor." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Guo Lin to ask, he took the lead out of the house.
Guo Lin had to suppress the doubts in his heart, and commanded Li'er to help Cai Rongrong walk out together.
It's just that Cai Rongrong is not happy, and she originally studied the screen well.
Now he was forcibly pulled away, and he immediately made a big fuss.
"Wow~Wow~Wow......"
High, high-pitched cries, no smaller than a baby's.
While crying, his nose was not idle, and two snots flowed out.
Looking at Cai Rongrong's appearance, Guo Lin wanted to cry without tears, but he didn't dare to let Guo Shengze wait for a long time.
Guo Lin and Li'er had to set up Cai Rongrong and forcibly dragged her out.
・・・・・・
When Guo Lin and Lier took Cai Rongrong and appeared outside the house.
There was already an extra carriage in the courtyard.
A carriage drawn by four tall horses, the carriage was wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk on all sides, the carriage, the carriage cover, the wheel, etc., were all exquisite, and the curtains that covered the windows were inlaid with gold and diamonds, the standard aristocratic travel tools. The laws of the State of Qi stipulate that only nobles can sit in a vehicle driven by two horses, and a vehicle driven by four horses can only be owned by the viscount family.
Guo Shengze stood beside the carriage, holding a white horse in his hand.
The horse was snow-white, with four hooves that were fiery red, and there was no other variegated color all over the body.
Behind Guo Shengze, there were ten soldiers riding horses.
All of them were full of evil energy, and they were obviously elite soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead people.
Without Guo Shengze's instructions, Guo Lin and Li'er helped Cai Rongrong to board the carriage.
Guo Shengze kicked the ground suddenly, and the person was already sitting on the white horse.
"Let's go. Guo Shengze raised his horsewhip and spoke.
Under the protection of ten soldiers, Guo Shengze and his party disappeared into the courtyard......
