In her scream, He Lingchuan rushed over. Just as the floating knife flew back to the master's side in a whirlwind, He Lingchuan caught it with one hand and killed two people in a row.

The second reacted quickly, and a donkey rolled around to avoid the blade.

Before he could get up, He Lingchuan threw the gun with his backhand and directly nailed his palm to the ground with a whoosh!

The robber was in pain but couldn't leave, and before he could scream, He Lingchuan turned the horse's head, and four stiff horses' hooves trampled directly on him!

The weight of the horse Kaga Lingchuan was deliberately slowed down and trampled, and everyone else heard a crisp "click", like a small cannonball.

The spine and arms and legs were broken.

At this moment, the miserable howl went straight to the sky.

Only then did He Lingchuan pull out his spear and calmly chase down the remaining bandits.

As soon as the robbers heard the sound of horses' hooves, they saw that three of their companions had died, and where did they still have the heart to resist, so they fled with a shout.

He Lingchuan pointed to a few backs and said to Dong Rui: "These few, are you Bao Yuan'er?" ”

"Okay, okay." If it's a good job, it won't be his turn, Dong Rui shook the reins of his horse and went to catch up.

In a few moments, the screams were louder, more panicked, and more prolonged, until the tea was ready.

By the time the two of them returned to the woodland, the blood on the tip of He Lingchuan's spear had already dripped out, and it was smooth and clean, and the green-skinned monkey on Dong Rui's shoulder was picking his teeth with his mouth open.

Lingguang had already untied the ropes for the people on the ground, and when Jin Bai and the others brought the children over, the woman rushed over and hugged her son, and kowtowed to He Lingchuan and the others.

Everyone who was rescued saluted He Lingchuan and called Engong.

He Lingchuan waved his hand: "If you don't go on the big road, why do you enter this small road?" ”

"We are the way to go." The boy's father looked bitter, "My wife was in a hurry, and she went to the woodland to relieve herself, but she was robbed by bandits." We went in to rescue us, but we couldn't save ourselves. ”

Another said: "We also hired guards, but as soon as they entered the woods, they ran away and left us to the robbers." ”

Kimber asked, "This guard wasn't hired by a serious person, was it?" ”

"I saw that they were hired in the bazaar, and I saw that they were born stout, and said that they had been on the battlefield and fought, so they ......."

He Lingchuan understood, in this kind of place, if you want to save a little money, I am afraid that you will suffer a big loss.

He and Shadowfang returned to their main path.

"Mr. He is also anxious for justice and righteousness."

He Lingchuan smiled: "People's hearts are flesh and blood. ”

There were also sand bandits on Hongya Road in the Panlong Desert in the past, but He Chunhua imposed restrictions when he became the county guard, only robbing money and property and not hurting people, and the violators were suppressed. After a few times, the surrounding gangs were much more honest.

Otherwise, it will be dry and fishing, how can anyone dare to take the red cliff road in the future?

Unlike here, where lawlessness is the absence of official patrols.

……

The hiccups on the road didn't delay much. In the evening, the outline of Xuncheng, the capital of the Hun Kingdom, appeared in everyone's field of vision.

Shadow Tooth Guard explained to He Lingchuan and the others: "Don't go to the fly restaurant here, it's easy to eat bad stomachs, and several of us here have experience...... Also, wandering around outside at night can easily get into trouble. ”

But He Lingchuan and Dong Rui didn't look like people who were afraid of trouble, so Jin Bai didn't remind them to pay attention to safety.

The people went straight to the city gate.

Yangshan Islands have trade with the Shanjin Plain, and several important ores are transported to the islands by sea from the Shanjin Plain, and they are indeed transited in the Hun Country and loaded in Julu Port, so He Lingchuan has a regular trade route in his hands, and it stands to reason that it is not a problem to enter and exit the capital.

Under the city gates, it was bustling.

He Lingchuan thought that there were too many people queuing up to pass the inspection, but when he got closer, he found that there were few people who passed the inspection at the city gate, but the shacks more than ten zhang outside and under the walls were crowded!

The shacks here stretched for two miles, and the people who lived here were civilians who had fled from other places, in ragged clothes, and had a fight with the beggars at the docks of Julugang.

But they were all excited at the moment, and they grabbed the broken bowl and squeezed forward, because there was someone in front of them who was giving alms.

He Lingchuan has never liked to go to crowded places, and when he passed by, he only glanced at it in a hurry, and saw several large carts parked in the open space in the middle of the shack.

The reason why the refugees were able to line up honestly and did not rush up to loot was because more than 100 guards on the side were armed with weapons to maintain order.

There was a scrawny old man who was so anxious that his hand shook, and the bun fell to the ground instead.

Someone on the side picked it up, patted off the gray sand on the bun, and handed it to him again.

The old man took the bun in his arms, bowed to the other party a few times, and was about to retreat, but the man said, "You can eat on the side, and then leave." ”

At the same time, Dong Rui also sighed.

This is actually a beauty with a ring of pearls, and the fox fur hides her figure, but she can't hide the fragrance of the country.

The beauty of Li Qingge, the lord of Songyang Mansion, is bright and magnificent, and Sun Ling's beauty is gentle and secretly heroic, but this woman's beauty is completely different from them, and it is also different from all the beauties He Lingchuan has seen before.

It is a fragile delicacy, like a thin porcelain that can be illuminated by a spotlight, like a peach blossom jellyfish that floats in the spring water, and people carefully care for it in the palm of their hands, but at the same time, there is an urge to destroy it and crush it!

The woman was obviously busy distributing supplies and talking to refugees, and she didn't look at passers-by much, but all the eyes of outsiders were focused on her.

She covered half of her beauty with her hat, but she still shone in the setting sun.

This woman only needs to stand there, she has her own contradictory and seductive magic, and she doesn't need to make a gesture at all.

He Lingchuan's first feeling when he saw her was that a narcissus suddenly grew in the muddy pond, slim and incompatible with the surrounding environment.

Dong Rui also stared at her in disbelief: "There is such a beauty in the country?" ”

See what it does, and it doesn't cost anything.

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Harazi has flowed out, wipe it." ”

Dong Rui really wiped his hand and found that there was nothing, and glared at He Lingchuan fiercely, but also looked away.

"It came out of the palace." He Lingchuan bowed his chin to the guards, "Have you seen these guards?" ”

If there is no guard, this kind of beauty will not be able to walk out of the streets of Hun country.

But on the other hand, she dared to appear in the refugee cave outside the city, and naturally she had full confidence.

This disaster relief team is obviously headed by her.

He Lingchuan saw that the team distributed food and organized the refugees to line up in an orderly manner, and he knew that this was not the first time that this beauty had done this.

People are beautiful and kind, huh?

At this time, a caravan suddenly cut in front of them, and they entered the city first, and the other civilians and traveling merchants had to wait a little longer.

He Lingchuan and the others were not in a hurry, so they lined up.

It was another quarter of an hour before it was their turn to clear the level.

He Lingchuan took out the documents and handed them over, and the city gate guards looked at them a few times: "Businessmen, well, the first time you came?" ”

"Yes."

"Then you don't know the rules." The guard pointed to the monkey on the shoulders of the two of them, "Pets can't enter." ”

The word "rules" is accented.

The two of them have traveled to many places, and they have never heard of this rule.

Dong Rui retorted: "This is not a family pet, this is a demon companion." ”

"Then you can't get in!" The guards glanced at him and said, "The capital is heavy, how can you let monsters infest!" ”

Jin Bai and the others came from behind, took out two pieces of broken silver, and stuffed them into the paperwork:

"Actually, their demon companions are also registered on this road, they are pure and harmless, can you take a look?"

They've been here once or twice and know what's going on.

"I'll see." The guard took it and took the broken silver directly into his arms, "It's true, let's go over." ”

Although He Lingchuan and the others were dressed ordinarily, they were sturdy, and their clothes were clean and tidy without patches. The guards at the city gate were very poisonous, and they saw that they were living a good life, and they thought that they had money in their hands, so they had to ask for a card.

He Lingchuan has traveled south and north for many years, and he has seen people asking for money, but he has never seen such a righteous and bright person asking for money.

This is the south gate of the capital, just at the foot of Hun Jun!

The soldiers defending the city dare to ask for money so openly?

And when they saw that their leaders were sitting behind them, they heard it, and they did not raise their eyebrows.

It's all a nest of snakes and rats.

After everyone cleared the customs and entered the city, they found a place to stay, called the Rulin Inn.

Then, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui went to Xuncheng to hang out.

Xuncheng is only half the area of Kite, and the houses are more crowded, which has the advantage of looking denser and not empty.

After all, it is the capital, and there are inns, restaurants, teahouses, and even places with dogs and horses on the main street, and it seems that business is good, the buildings are brightly lit, and there are often people in luxurious clothes coming in and out.

As soon as the wind blew, the woman's laughter and the aroma of fat powder were carried out.

But after going back to the main street, after only two streets, the road became dark on both sides.

Few houses were lit, there was debris everywhere, and the stench of feces wafted in the air.

The distance between the two streets is like separating two worlds.

Sometimes there will be several people sitting at the fork in the road, cross-legged and burning paper money in the middle of the road. No matter who passed by, they were expressionless.

A few pieces of paper money were blown to He Lingchuan's feet by the wind, and when he looked down, there seemed to be a big-headed doll painted on the paper money, and his expression was distorted by the fire, and only the eyes that were bigger than almonds were still staring.

Just walked past a few families that burned paper money, He Lingchuan and the two took a shortcut back to the main street, ready to buy some cooked food and bring it into the inn to drink.

After dozens of breaths, the two passed by an old locust tree, and there were also people burning paper money under the tree.

The two appeared, as if startling each other.

The men quickly grabbed the tablet on the ground, threw it into the fire bucket, and threw a warning look at the two of them:

Don't meddle with things.

The tablet is also made of white paper, and when the tongue of fire licks it, it burns on the ground.

However, He Lingchuan had good eyesight, and he could see clearly by the light of the fire, and the tablet was half buried in the ashes, but a few words were revealed:

…… Mai-sama's spiritual position.

Soon, the flames ate these words as well.

He Lingchuan was too lazy to look at it, and continued to walk along the alley with Dong Rui, and soon returned to the main street.

People like him who love to visit fly restaurants didn't dare to look for a small shop after listening to Jin Bai's advice, but walked into a braised vegetable stall that looked clean and hygienic at the door, first asked for a chicken paw to taste, and then pointed to the rest of the braised vegetables:

"Wrap it up, we've got it all."

In addition to the braised goose, there are also chicken offal, smoked rabbit, smoked bamboo rat, and a variety of small cold dishes. In terms of the variety of tricks, it is far inferior to Sodin Island.

Before they came, the boss didn't sell much in the afternoon and evening, and he was about to fall asleep on the board.

He Lingchuan went to the wine shop next door and asked for a few jars of wine, put them in the storage ring, and went home with Dong Rui.

￥￥￥￥￥

The people of the capital all knew about the great joy of the royal family, because King Hun ordered that each person could receive two catties of grain, two taels of meat, half a catty of dates, and ten caramels for two days.

So when it comes to daytime, Xuncheng is as lively as the New Year.

Several sheds were also opened outside the city, and porridge and food were given to beggars and homeless people, and it was really a great joy for everyone.

When you first arrive in a different place, the most difficult thing to find is a relationship. He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui to go to the land of fireworks to collect news, and it was best for any benefactor to come from the palace or the homes of high-ranking officials, so that it would be convenient for them to place eyeball spiders.

Intelligence has to be collected little by little, and the emphasis is on one thing.

The key is to touch the right vine, and then there is a melon.

However, Dong Rui didn't leave with the silver yet, and the clue came to the door first-

Ah Hao of Julu Harbor rushed to Xuncheng in a hurry.

Dong Rui glared: "There is news so soon?" ”

He hasn't had time to go out yet!

"There you have it." Ah Hao rode his horse for a day, sweating all over, "I asked for the news that the two uncles wanted!" I asked the two guards to eat and drink a lot of food, and they got everyone drunk......"

Dong Rui interrupted him: "Have you found out the origin of the bright lantern?" ”

"No, no, no, this can't be found!" Ah Hao's head shook like a wave drum, "But there is a new trend in the palace, Imperial Physician Chen just received a reward not long ago, a large reward!" It was less than ten days ago. ”

"Imperial Physician Chen?"

"Ah yes, the Taiyi Bureau has not been easy to do in the past two years, and the Taiyi Cheng was even cut off by the king. I heard that it was all because of poor treatment, and the second prince's condition worsened. Ah Hao licked his chapped lips, He Lingchuan handed him a glass of water, and he picked it up and drank it all.

He fell into other people's Gu, and people didn't need to poison them in the water again.

"Imperial Physician Chen, who took over as Imperial Physician Cheng two months ago, was originally just a medical attendant, and no one was optimistic about him. The guards in the palace also opened a handicap, betting on how long he could last, but he didn't expect him to rejuvenate and the second prince's condition improved significantly. Ah Hao said again, "I heard that Imperial Doctor Chen has recently become a celebrity in the palace, and he frequently goes in and out of the second prince's bedroom to see a doctor. Two days ago, in front of everyone, the king rewarded him with a few delicacies and a few tributes, which was really envious of others. ”

Dong Rui sighed twice: "So powerful, why did you only work as a doctor before?" ”

He Lingchuan followed these words and asked, "Why was Imperial Physician Chen directly promoted from the Attendant Doctor to the Imperial Physician?" There is no other trick in the Imperial Medical Bureau? ”

That's a few levels of jumping in a row.

"Ah......" asked three questions in a row, and Ah Hao was directly confused.

He remembered what the guards in the palace said, and he really didn't think about these questions.

Yes, why did the doctor suddenly become the head of the Imperial Medical Bureau?

He Lingchuan looked at him at a loss, and knew that he had no answer, so he turned to say: "So, is it really Mrs. Chen who cured the second prince's madness?" ”

"It's not announced yet. When the second prince recovers, Imperial Doctor Chen will soar. ”

"Yes, yes." He Lingchuan patted Ah Hao on the shoulder, "Can you inquire about Imperial Doctor Chen's residence?" ”

"Yes, great, please give me a day!"

Dong Rui threw him a pill: "If you take it, you can delay the Gu poison for seven days." ”

When Ah Hao swallowed the medicine, he listened to He Lingchuan and asked, "By the way, how is your accomplice?" What tall one? ”

"Click!" As soon as the pill stuck in his throat, Ah Hao coughed a few times and poured a few mouthfuls of water to ease up.

"So excited? What happened to him? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Ah Hao waved his hand, "He didn't say anything when he woke up, so he scolded him for being unlucky." It's not the first time he's come across an idea. ”

"That's good." He Lingchuan said slowly, "I thought he wouldn't give up with you, it seems that you settled it yourself." ”

The listener was interested, Ah Hao's heart was cold, and then he looked at He Lingchuan's flat expression, and he didn't know if the speaker had a heart.

He hurriedly retired.

Waiting for Ah Hao to leave, He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui: "Did you really cast Gu for him?" ”

Will this guy still use Gu?

"Of course!" Dong Rui was complacent, "I have to do what I say." ”

He couldn't wait to go out, with He Lingchuan's silver in his arms, and he was about to go out to spend some money.

Oh no, it's a business trip, a business trip!

After a tiring journey these days, he Dong Ye wants to relax and relax.

The Fengyue place in Hudu is really prosperous, which one should he go to?

Dong Rui has an attitude of studying and seeking truth, and plans to visit more of them.

But as soon as he stepped out of the inn gate with his front feet, he "whew", and two people galloped by, almost colliding with him.

I didn't see my face clearly, I just knew that I was running fast, and I was cultivated.

Da Da, the two of them disappeared into the alley diagonally behind them in a blink of an eye.

Flee for your life, what is this? Dong Rui scolded secretly.

The people on the road didn't make a fuss, they were all indifferent, what should they do.

But Dong Rui had only gone out for more than a dozen steps, and more than 30 officials turned out of the street corner and strode here.

At first glance, he came to chase people.

Dong Rui finally understood why the two of them ran away.

He bowed his head and walked his way, but when this group of officials was about to run past him, the leader suddenly turned to look at him, and then stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's him!" ”

Who? Who do you say?

Dong Rui saw him pointing at him, so he looked left and right, but there was no one around.

He took two steps to the left, and the fingers of the people followed suit, still pointing at him.

As soon as the leader gave the order, dozens of his subordinates rushed up, and the shackles came to take the people.

The violent ape lying on Dong Rui's shoulder squeaked twice, and wanted to get off the ground.

Dong Rui covered it: "I can't help it." ”

The demon ape made a big fuss, and he didn't want to mess with this trouble.

He was extremely agile in his position, and two or three guards were in the air.

Dong Rui shouted: "I'm a visitor from other places, you have recognized the wrong person!" ”

The leader only said, "Kneel! If you're not a fugitive, what are you afraid of? ”

This is very reasonable, but after Dong Rui saw the virtue of the local servants, he had no confidence in their level of investigation and people, and made up his mind not to go to prison.
