Chapter 32: Windfall
Inside the ashram.
The thick walls of black rattan bricks cut off the outside world, and it was difficult to hear anything except a few vibrations.
Four female secret guards, holding blades, stood in front of the sealed door stone and waited for it, paying close attention to all the wind and grass in the stone gate.
Dongfang Liren, who was dressed in a python suit, paced back and forth in the room with an anxious face, and sometimes came to the door, using the Tianhe knife method to listen to it, but except for a little noise, he couldn't hear anything.
The Empress of Great Wei had already changed into a red dress and sat upright on the bed, because her perception was far beyond ordinary people, she knew what was happening outside, and her eyes were complicated.
If it is said that the last time Gonggong Cao entered the palace, the night terror hall suddenly jumped out to rescue, it was out of chivalrous spirit and drew a sword to help him, then this time he defended the Dragon Gate alone and vowed not to retreat, it was out of outright concern for her and the people.
Since the empress sat on the dragon chair, she was destined to become a lonely person, except for her sister and master, she couldn't trust anyone, because she didn't know whether the courtiers in front of her who were respectful to her would secretly be the spies of the Northern Liang, the secret stakes of the Pingtian Sect, and even the assassins sent by the kings.
But after knowing Night Terror Hall for so long, these concerns have been slowly dispelled, and Night Terror Hall has countless opportunities to assassinate her, and she can also rely on her and Liren's trust to try to seek a position of power and do greater things.
But all the behaviors of the Night Terror Hall are a pure ranger in the rivers and lakes, and he is also the first in the world in the rivers and lakes if he is ambitious, he doesn't like fame and fortune to drag him down, and he only recognizes love and righteousness in everything.
And desperately protecting her and leaving people, obviously not because of their identity, but because of the people who treat them as friends, or people who are one step closer than friends.
is such a man, the empress doesn't know how to be jealous if she wants to be jealous, if the night terror hall is the hidden pile of a certain force, it is also the most incompetent hidden pile in the world......
The empress was wandering for thousands of miles, and after being silent for an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly sounded in the silent quiet room:
Knock knock - knock -
It was the secret word of someone knocking on the stone door.
After the four female secret guards turned around and inquired about the empress's intentions, they quickly pulled out the iron bolt that was stuck in the door-sealing stone, and then the door-sealing stone shook, and then a gap appeared below, and the sound of shouting came from outside:
"One, two, threeβ"
Dongfang was full of anxiety, and directly half-squatted on the ground, turning his head to look out.
The garden outside was in shambles, and there was still a lot of fire smoke, and more than 40 wrestlers covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, held eight iron chains in their hands, and dragged them up with all their might, gradually pulling up the thousands of boulders.
Beyond the sealing stone, there stood a man with a saber hanging from his waist.
The man was dressed in a black official robe, and the jade belt hanging from his waist looked neat and majestic, as if nothing had happened.
But the red blood marks faintly oozing from the gauze on the man's hands, and the slightly reddened face, still revealed how tragic the melee outside was just now.
"Night Terror?!"
Dongfang has known the Night Terror Hall for so long, it's not that he hasn't seen him injured, but the last time he defeated the Xuanyuan Dynasty, he didn't see the Night Terror Hall fall into this situation, as soon as the stone gate was raised, he galloped out from below and came to him:
"You ......"
Dongfang Liren wanted to give the Night Terror Hall a pulse, but when he walked in, he found that the Night Terror Hall was not even under the robe, and there were some bandaged marks everywhere, so he didn't dare to touch it, but looked at it anxiously:
"How are your injuries?"
Night Terror raised its hand to protect the side of the gate from getting in the way, and his expression was as calm as possible:
"I suffered a little flesh wound, the situation is not serious, Lu Jieyun and other thieves have been subdued, and the brigade of soldiers and horses has reached the foot of the mountain, and there is no major problem at present. It was just when the thieves attacked, I was suppressed in front of the door, someone used a hidden weapon to sneak attack, the Queen Mother helped me block the hidden weapon, and I was imprisoned by the dragon miasma......"
"Huh?"
Dongfang Liren's face changed suddenly, and he held the night terror hall that was a little shaky, and asked:
"Did you call Imperial Doctor Wang? And that Zhang Jinglin......"
"It's all called, the Queen Mother's current situation is quite stable, but she must be detoxified as soon as possible. Imperial Physician Wang, Zhang Jinglin, and a sorceress from the Western Sea tribes discussed two methods, one was to find the golden scale diagram and the dragon elephant diagram; One is to go to the Western Sea Tribes to find the poisoner to find the antidote, and he may have to set off immediately......"
Dongfang Liren didn't know anything inside, and he must have been a little confused when he came out to face such a big pile of news.
Seeing that the atmosphere of the night terror hall was very chaotic, he helped him to the side of the dormitory, which was still intact:
"You sit down and say. Where is the Queen Mother now? β
"...... down the mountain"
β¦β¦
The Empress of Great Wei came out under the protection of the Secret Guard, and when she saw the appearance of the Night Terror Hall, she actually wanted to ask a few questions.
But as an emperor, the situation is so chaotic that the courtiers still have to rest assured, so he still walked out with the secret guard first......
ββ
At the same time, Yamashita.
On the calm river, a white shadow flows down like ghostly water, with a long white trail on the river, and passing ships hear the movement, and when they turn their eyes to look past, there is only a blurred white spot at the end of the field of vision.
Xuanji Zhenren left Sanhe Town and quickly turned back, just after traveling for many miles, he received a message from the flying pigeon of Yutan Villa, knowing that something big had happened, so he rushed back at full speed at all costs.
Sanhe Town is more than two hundred miles away from Yun'an, but it didn't take long for Xuanji Zhenren to see the majestic mountain villa by the river, and the demons dancing inside had not yet ended.
Running at full speed like this, Xuanji's real consumption was also very great, and the sweat almost soaked through her underwear, and when she found that the turmoil had subsided, the empress was secretly relieved to meet the generals who rushed from the city to stabilize the morale of the army outside the villa.
Xuanji Zhenren landed outside the villa, and wanted to go to the empress, but Yu Guang found that among the buildings under the mountain, Imperial Doctor Wang and Zhang Jinglin were standing in the courtyard and talking something, and they were all frowning.
Xuanji Zhenren secretly said that it was not good, thinking that something was wrong in the Night Terror Hall, so he hurriedly flew down in the courtyard and came to the door with the lights on to check.
It turned out that Fan Qinghe, who was wearing a red gauze skirt, was standing on the small case outside the screen, with various bottles and cans in front of her, and was concentrating on dispensing medicines, and the bag she left in the inn in Guantou Town was also sent over and placed in Fan Qinghe's hand.
Looking inside, on the bed behind the screen, the Queen Mother in a red dress was lying silently, her face was a little pale, and she was visibly weak.
"Huai Yan?"
Xuanji Zhenren's face changed suddenly, and after a moment's pause, he came to the bed, pressed the wrist of the Queen Mother with his hand, and his expression, which had been calm in the past, gradually turned into anxiety.
Suddenly there was a familiar sound of breaking wind from behind, which scared Fan Qinghe, who was already used to beating, and shook his shoulders, and he was almost ready to jump out of the window.
In a blink of an eye, I found that the sweaty demon girl was half-squatting on the edge of the bed, and Fan Qinghe's new hatred and old hatred poured up, naturally her willow eyebrows were upside down, and she said coldly:
"Get out of here!"
The tone is very fierce!
Xuanji Zhenren is not a doctor, and he also knows that Fan Qinghe can make all kinds of poisons and is proficient in medical pharmacology.
As a family member visiting a patient, being yelled at by the attending doctor, Xuanji Zhenren naturally didn't dare to get angry, and was even a little nervous, so he quickly got up and stayed away, turned his head and asked:
"What kind of poison did the Queen Mother get?"
Fan Qinghe saw that Xuanji was really instigated, so she naturally stood up, and said with a frosty face:
"I'm discussing countermeasures with Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhang, what are you rushing in for? Knowing the situation, what can you do but be anxious? β
Xuanji Zhenren felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he nodded lightly, came to him and asked softly:
"What is the current situation of the Queen Mother?"
Fan Qinghe turned around, handed the medicine pestle to Xuanji Zhenren, and asked her to help make the medicine in response:
"I've been imprisoned and the dragon miasma, but it's not completely impossible to ...... at the moment"
Fan Qinghe seriously talked about the situation just now, as well as the countermeasures discussed by several people, and the various methods and difficulties were explained very clearly, but the part of the compatibility of the sexes was omitted, after all, she herself felt that this road was too much, and she didn't dare to rush to the doctor until she was unable to return to the sky.
After listening to Xuanji, Xuanji's heart sank.
If there is a dragon elephant diagram in the Night Terror Hall, then it only takes a golden scale diagram to cure the imprisoned dragon miasma, and it seems a pity that she didn't grab the golden scale diagram when she saw it just now, but in fact, it is not.
If she made a move, Jiang Zahu didn't need to fight to the death and not retreat, she would run after her after turning around, and it was estimated that she would be able to chase Liang Zhou; And even if Jiang Zahu didn't fight her, it would be impossible for her to destroy the golden fist without injury, and she would have to pay some price if she grabbed it.
In case she runs away or is injured in the fight, and the Night Terror Hall is also injured in the villa, and the empress is also powerless, it will directly become an empty city. The Queen Mother may be fine with the Golden Scale Diagram, but Broken Silence, Zhou Chiyang and others suddenly appear tomorrow to assassinate the empress, who will stop them?
After a moment of deliberation, Xuanji Zhenren spoke:
"Jiang Zahu avoided the battle and ran with his life, it was difficult to block it, only by encircling it with the Night Terror Hall could he be sure to get the Golden Scale Diagram in his hands, but the Night Terror Hall had just experienced a bloody battle, and it was difficult to recover in its heyday without a month...... The Ming Dragon Diagram can only be used as a backup method, and it can also be dominated by the Western Sea Tribes, are you sure you can find the poison master? β
"The West Sea Tribes are my territory, it is impossible to refine medicine without buying medicinal materials, as long as people are in the West Sea Tribes, I can find clues......"
Fan Qinghe was talking, and suddenly there was a sound of flapping wings outside the door:
Puff puff~
Xuanji Zhenren turned his eyes to look, but saw the bird staggering into the window, clutching a cloth bag with a hard piece the size of paper in it.
Because of the excitement, the bird did not fly very steadily, and it rolled around the table for a while, and then it jumped around the cloth bag, not knowing what it was doing.
Seeing this, Xuanji Zhenren hurriedly came to him, took out the dragon elephant diagram in the package, and felt like a treasure, after all, this can not only save the life of the queen mother, but also save the life of the empress.
For this reason, after taking a look at Xuanji Zhenren, he walked out of the door, wanting to show the empress the picture first, so that the empress could correct the wrong dragon elephant diagram now.
And Fan Qinghe is also a martial artist, saying that it is false to say that he didn't think about Minglongtu, and he originally wanted to look at the appearance of a female doctor, but he only saw a flash of golden light, and Xuanji Zhenren ran away, she hurriedly chased out the door and pulled Xuanji Zhenren away:
"What do you do? This is a life-saving herb for the Queen Mother, do you still want to swallow it privately? β
Xuanji Zhenren's footsteps did not stop: "I'll go and let people check the authenticity first, and I'll study it for you later." β
Fan Qinghe didn't understand Xuanji Zhenren's intentions, and followed behind and grabbed his sleeve and was annoyed:
"Is this still a test? The night terror hall didn't have a dragon map, and the dragon picture could pick a dozen? β
"He can, it's just that he fights harder, Wu Kui can not only drop ten times with one force, but also dial a thousand catties in four or two, and there are naturally different ways to play under different conditions......"
"You show me, and I won't rob it. If you do this again, I won't help you save the Queen Mother......"
"I'll show you, dare to touch your hands!"
"Good ββ!"
β¦β¦
The sound of talking faded away, and soon only the two miracle doctors who frowned and discussed, and Mrs. Wang, who was boiling medicine under the eaves, were left in the courtyard.
In the room, the bird shook his head for a moment, and found that no one fed it, and wanted to chase it out, but after seeing the queen mother lying on the bed, he was a little more sober, jumped to the pillow, and rubbed his face with his furry head:
"Twitter...... Ji?! β
The empress dowager, who was weak, suddenly opened her right eye and glanced into the room after her voice faded away.
The bird was stunned for a moment, and then was about to jump up and call someone, but was directly pressed by a hand, and was pinched by the bird's beak, and the cry became "Goo?" βγ
The Queen Mother was sure that there was no one in the house, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then her eyes showed a little entanglement.
Although the Imprisoned Dragon Miasma was extremely domineering, she woke up after two quarters of an hour of coma - to be precise, she was awakened by starvation, and she consumed too much energy to continue to recover from her injuries.
According to the Queen Mother's estimate, as long as she keeps running the method of bathing in the fire diagram, gets up to eat and drink well for a day or two, she will be completely fine.
But when she woke up, she took out the fire diagram and explained it clearly, and it was really over, what did she do next?
A few people discussed, saying that the Night Terror Hall was going to leave immediately and take her to the Xihai Provinces to find a doctor.
The Queen Mother grew up in Jiangzhou since she was a child, entered the palace as a teenager, and worked as a caged bird in the deep palace for ten years, eager for the outside world, and this time she went to the Liangzhou Qianli Gobi mentioned in the secret history of Cleopatra, or the endless Pingchuan of the West Sea that Xuanji Zhenren said.
If she is okay directly, then she may not have the second chance to wander the world like this in her life.
But you can't wake up.
The Queen Mother knew that Night Terror Hall was injured multiple times, and she was more worried about the safety of Night Terror Hall than going out to play, Night Terror Hall was squatting beside her just now, and she could feel the anxiety and helplessness in her coma, and her heart was happy.
Night Terror Hall is so worried about her, she is pretending to be sick here, it is too unconscionable.
For this reason, the Queen Mother secretly pondered for a long time, and came up with a very suitable method - she secretly took out the fire bath diagram and sent it to the Night Terror Hall for treatment, and by the way, the Night Terror Hall did not have to worry that she was not saved.
She continued to be unconscious, and she couldn't learn even if she had a fire map, so she still had to get out.
After leaving Yun'an City, she woke up again, and then if the Night Terror Hall refused to take her out for a walk, she had to come back, then she would have to come back......
It shouldn't be too much to help block the knife and send the bath fire map, so that the Night Terror Hall can worry for a few more days......
But how do you give the fire map to the Night Terror, and make the Night Terror think it's not hers?
β¦β¦
After a little deliberation, the Queen Mother leaned over to the bird's head and whispered:
"Twitter, you go to the bedroom of the main palace, there is a small box under the bed, there is a piece of gold paper in it, you ......"
"Tss
Bird Bird was stunned, hearing such important news, he turned his head and was about to go to tell the court.
The Queen Mother hurriedly held down the bird and coerced and lured:
"You do what Bengong says, Bengong will reward you with a roasted camel in the northwest, if you dare to leak ......"
"Tsk!"
The bird's eyes were burning, and he was very unhappy - are you stupid to be a bird? The leaky wind roasted camel is gone!
Then he flapped his wings and flew out.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother finally felt a little relieved, lay down on the pillow again, no longer ran the method of bathing in the fire, and then soon fainted again......
ββ
Near the Dragon Washing Pond, the roof was punched out of a hole in the dormitory.
Night Terror Hall sat on the couch, his shirt peeled off to reveal the bandages on his body, and Dongfang Liren sat next to him, helping Night Terror Hall rub medicine on his strained arm, and discussing with each other the plan to go to the West Sea Tribes.
Because the life and death of the Queen Mother are undecided, the two of them are very depressed, without the laughter and slapstick of the past, and they look like a hard-working couple who hug each other for warmth in a big disaster.
Dongfang Liren was disturbed by the situation of the Queen Mother, but he was not worried about the injuries of the Night Terror.
Seeing that Night Terror's eyes were very depressed, even to the point of being in a trance, Dongfang Liren was also afraid that something would go wrong under the physical and mental exhaustion of Night Terror, so he forced a smile and showed a relaxed smile:
"Alright. There is always a solution to everything, you are the king's lucky general, you haven't missed a hand since you entered Beijing, can you still be stumped this time? β
After the bloody battle of the Night Terror, he encountered this desperate situation, and his spirit was indeed about to collapse, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he wanted to say something but couldn't figure out his thoughts.
Dongfang Liren couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw this, thought about it, looked left and right a few times, leaned forward, and picked his chin:
"Huh?"
ββ¦β¦β
Night Terror's eyes moved, looking at the beautiful cheeks that were close at hand, thinking about it, shaking his head and saying:
"Don't make a fuss...... I'll just rest. β
Dongfang Liren felt that Night Terror Hall couldn't rest like this, so he simply sat up straighter, gently pulled up Night Terror's bandaged hand, and stuffed it into the placket of the fat head dragon's clothes, and then stepped forward and took the initiative to take his slightly pale lips.
Kiss~
The palm of the Night Terror Hall was soft and delicate, and his fingers moved subconsciously, and after a moment of silence, he pouted his red lips, and the depression in his heart was really vented a little.
Dongfang separated his lips and wiped the cheeks of the night terror with his sleeve, and looked at each other:
"I don't blame you today, you've done your best. The Queen Mother Ji people have their own natural ......"
was whispering, and suddenly remembered the movement of 'puff~' outside the window.
Night Terror Hall turned his eyes to look, but saw the bird swaying and flying over, clawing a piece of gold paper on his paws, and began from afar:
"Twitter......"
The Night Terror Hall thought that the bird had brought the dragon elephant diagram over, so he quickly got up and raised his hand to catch it, and frowned:
"How did you rip the bag? With Zhang Minglong's picture in the market, you are not afraid of being ...... Well?!!! β
Words paused.
Night Terror Hall took the gold paper and looked at it carefully, and found that the shapes were all the same size, but the pattern of 'Turtle and Three Mountains' on the paper had become 'Golden Phoenix Bathing in Fire', and there were still some blood stains.
Night Terror Hall thought that he was in a trance, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then took a closer look by the light - it was still the pattern of the golden phoenix bathing in fire......
"This is the dragon elephant...... Dragon...... Is this a dragon? β
Dongfang Liren came to look at it, and his eyes were also stunned, and after carefully recalling the description of the Minglong diagram on the dossier, his eyes showed surprise:
"Is this a fire map?"
Night Terror Hall was a little blindsided, looked left and right, and slapped it on his face again, after making sure that it was not a dream, he looked at Bird:
"Where did you come from? My dragon elephant diagram has been dropped? β
Dongfang Liren frowned and said: "How is it possible, take the fire map and drop the dragon elephant map, unless the skull is flooded...... Twitter, where did you find that? β
The bird raised its wings and pointed out, then staggered and flew out.
Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall hurriedly followed Dongfang Liren, and within a moment, he came to the ruins on the side of the villa.
The ruins are the original verandah, the place where the Night Terror Hall and Lu Jieyun first fought, and there are many fragments of robes among the ruins and ruins all over the ground, because the situation has not yet stabilized, and no one has come to clean it up.
Night Terror followed the bird into the ruins, and the bird landed in front of the gravel pile, pointing with his wings to the broken cloak under the rubble:
"Tsk!"
ββ¦β¦β
Night Terror Hall was slightly stunned, and then said in disbelief:
"Lu Jieyun is still practicing a real bath in fire?! I'll just say that he has practiced muscles, bones, skin, spirit, spirit, and spirit, why did he only practice one...... No, he has a real bath in fire, how can he become inhuman and not a ghost? β
Dongfang Liren was quite excited in the face of this windfall, picked up the bird and rubbed the reward fiercely, and responded:
"The fire map can only heal wounds. The distortion of the body caused by the jade bone diagram is not an injury, and his use of the fire diagram will only make the bone spurs grow as soon as possible, not make the bone spurs disappear...... If you practice the fire map, as long as you don't die on the spot, you can't die at all, as long as you learn, don't be afraid of any poison in the world, this thing can save the Queen Mother. β
When the Night Terror Hall heard this, his heart couldn't help but be ecstatic, and he turned around and ran down the mountain, but after walking out of it, he frowned and said:
"The Queen Mother can only practice the bath fire diagram when she wakes up, and now she is in a coma, she can't use it when she gets this thing, and I don't know if the time is enough......"
"Go to the Xihai Ministry, or step up preparations, if the Queen Mother wakes up, let the Queen Mother learn the fire map, if she doesn't wake up, at least there are alternatives. It's much easier to wake people up than to look for an antidote...... By the way, you hurry up and learn the fire diagram and heal the injury. β
Night Terror Hall felt that this picture was a little too unexpected, and forgot about this stubble, and when he heard the words, he took the bath fire picture while walking, and learned it seriously......
