Chapter 25: The Dust Settles
The snow flew like catkins, slowly falling on the corpse with its back against the pedestal.
A few passers-by stopped in a daze at the far end of the street, not knowing whether they were frightened or afraid to move, and they didn't see movement for a long time.
The spear of the Night Terror Hall pointed obliquely at the snow surface, and the blood beads dripped down the tip of the spear, and the sweat was steaming all over the body, forming a circle of white mist visible to the naked eye around the body, and the breathing sound was as heavy as a brute bull.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Pedal Pedal –
The injury gradually left and She Long, who came out of the hole that came out, found that the broken silence had been out of breath, and after being relieved, he lost his strength, and sat on the ground with his ass gasping for breath.
Soon after, the general arresters scattered everywhere came at a gallop, and under She Long's order, they showed signs to clear the scene and guard the periphery:
"The black government is doing things, and the idle people are scattered!"
When Fan Qinghe jumped out of the Night Terror Hall, he had already followed out, and he had been on guard on the periphery, so as not to have a master ambush and sneak attack from the shadows.
After determining the safety of the perimeter, Fan Qinghe came out from behind the roof, and several ups and downs came to the Night Terror Hall:
"Night Terror, how are you doing?"
"Hoo ......"
Night Terror went down three times in a row, and the burden on his body was too great, and the left half of his body turned blood-red, and a pool of blood flowed from the ground under his feet, and his heart was beating like thunder, and he even felt dizzy after making sure that he was dead and silent:
"I'm okay, find a safe place to rest first......"
Fan Qinghe held the arm of the Night Terror Hall, and was about to check the injury, but saw the Night Terror Hall take a few steps and shook down, and the spear was on the ground before standing firmly.
Boom~
Seeing this, Fan Qinghe was in a hurry, and hurriedly got under his arm, and walked out with his shoulders supporting the Night Terror Hall.
She Long and the injury gradually separated and was also embarrassed, but compared with the night terror hall covered in blood, it was stronger after all, and when he saw this, he hurriedly turned it up and ordered a few chief arresters not far away:
"Come and help."
Seeing this, several chiefs quickly came to the front and helped the Night Terror Hall with weapons and resist the corpses.
Night Terror Hall put his arm on Fan Qinghe's shoulder, after the bloody battle, he was a little out of strength, She Long and the others did not have any combat power, if they were in distress at this time, it was really troublesome, so he took out a gold medal from his arms and threw it to the injured gradually left:
"There must be a helper in the city, let's go to the yamen to settle down, let people take the sign to find the county guard here, and transfer the soldiers and horses of the military battalion in the city to prevent the thieves from taking risks."
Seeing this, he hurriedly asked a chief arrester to find the county guard to transfer troops, and followed him to the yamen in the city......
——
The sudden turmoil made the entire Jinyang City fall silent.
Everyone walked out of the room and looked in the direction of Dongshi, even the most popular Jianghu guests, at this time, they all maintained the most basic sense of awe, and watched from a distance of half a mile, not daring to cross the thunder pond for half a point.
On the Golden Street, Wang Ning, the county guard, and some officials came to the window to watch.
Seeing the turmoil, Wang Junshou wanted to send someone to capture the thief who made trouble, but after finding that the two of them had smashed a few streets in the blink of an eye, he silently shut his mouth again, and was hiding behind the guards to watch, when a servant walked upstairs quickly, holding a sign in both hands:
"My lord, go back to the yamen, it seems to be the night terror in the capital......"
Wang Junshou was slightly shocked when he heard this, and turned his head to see the gold medal of 'Ru I came in person', and he was directly stumbling again.
Wang Ning can be the county guard at the gateway of Yazhou, and he must have a great relationship with Wang Yin, the commander of the Yazhou army, and Wang Yin is the empress's maternal uncle.
Recently, the empress intends to seal the night terror hall as the Duke of Wu'an, although it has not yet been officially announced, but the decision related to the situation in the world will definitely be discussed with the ministers such as Zhenguo Gong, and Wang Ning also learned the news in advance.
The Duke of Wu'an is the Duke of the Kingdom, from a real jue, the status is only lower than the prince and the county king, in the case of Yazhou without the vassal king, only the Zhenguo Duke Wang Yin can sit on an equal footing, and the rest of the people are standing and being trained, and he is not qualified to sit at the same table when the county guard goes to the house to eat.
Secondly, the Night Terror Hall is the deputy commander of the Black Ya, basically the number one of the Black Ya, not under the control of the six ministries, directly obeying the orders of the Son of Heaven, with thousands of spies under his command, and the power is exactly the same as the 'Nine Thousand Years Old' of the eunuchs in history.
That's it, I still have the gold medal of 'I am here' in my hand. This card can be cut first and then played, and the army can be mobilized on the top, and it is impossible for the absolute henchmen of the non-empress to hold, and there is no difference between not obeying and resisting the will to rebel.
Wang Ning, a magistrate, was named by this kind of Tai Sui Ye, not to mention offended, even if he just didn't serve well, he might be thrown to Tiannan to herd sheep in two days because he stepped into the yamen with his left foot first and was suspected of contempt for imperial power.
When Wang Ning saw the gold medal, he was frightened and woke up, and hurriedly ran downstairs with his robe, and at the same time urged:
"A few of you entertain the foreign envoys well, and the others have called all the big and small officials in the city to their own officials, as well as the cooks, singers, dancers, and golden street cards, all of them are called up and waiting......"
"Yes Yes ......"
"Slow down, adults, beware of the stairs ......"
……
At the same time, in another room at the rear of the complex.
The squire Li Si frowned on his back with his hands behind his back, and after waiting for a long time to see no new movement in the city, he asked:
"Who died?"
Shen Lin found out that Broken Silence and Night Terror were fighting, so he wanted to bring someone over to help.
But Wu Kui fought to the death, and it only took a few breaths before and after, and before he could find out how many people the Night Terror Hall had brought, the fight was already over.
Although he couldn't see the situation on the street, Shen Lin had already judged the winner just by listening to the movement, shook his head and sighed:
"The incident happened suddenly, there was no time to help, and the secret son cultivated by the national teacher was confessed in vain."
Li Si's hand behind his back tightened, and when he heard this, it was like being stripped of a piece of meat in his chest.
Broken Silence is an important person buried in the Great Wei of Beiliang, not to mention the loss of many connections after death, he just promised to give people to people, but when he turned his head, the hole cards in his hand were slaughtered, and what did Shen Lin do to layout?
"Shen Lao is ...... now What do you think? ”
Shen Lin is good at calculation, but he also has to have people available under his hands to implement the plan, seeing that the silence is gone, he also sensed the evil door of the Night Terror Hall, and felt sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, and said:
"The Night Terror Hall suddenly arrived in Jinyang, it should have been found out from somewhere the whereabouts of Broken Silence, the old man is afraid that ......"
Li Si was a little silent, but he still cheered up and said:
"Even if the Night Terror Hall knows that you are here, as long as the Southern Dynasty doesn't want to fight, he can't detain the foreign envoys without authorization, and stay by his own side, safe and sound. As for the things that His Majesty has explained...... has already sent someone to invite Hua Ling, and King Zuo Xian has also sent his elite to help, plus these people under this official, as long as they find an opportunity, it is not difficult to get rid of the Night Terror Hall. ”
Shen Lin knew that Hua Ling was only ranked below the Four Saints, and she was more powerful than Broken Silence, but he still preferred to use Broken Silence in his heart.
After all, Broken Silence is a person cultivated by the national teacher, and he is absolutely loyal to Beiliang, and he can help Beiliang get rid of his henchmen, and he doesn't care about his life.
And Hua Ling is a ranger in the rivers and lakes, no matter how many benefits she gives, she will also try to leave three points for self-protection, and if the situation is not right, she will definitely slap her ass and leave.
But now that the silence is dead, Shen Lin has no choice but to nod slightly.
While the two were talking, there was a rumbling sound in the aisle outside, and then a soft voice sounded:
"Mr. Li, what's going on outside? The classmates in the academy are all asking and want to go out to see the lively ......"
Li Si's face was full of gloom, and he immediately retracted, restored the appearance of a famous teacher and Confucian, and turned around with a smile:
"There are rangers in the city who are making trouble, and it has nothing to do with us, let them stay in the house well, and if they run around at night, they will be punished ten times."
"Oh, good."
Grunt......
The sound faded away.
Shen Lin stood with his hands in his hands, secretly pondered for a moment and had no clue, then stopped thinking about it, and asked instead:
"Fang Cai's "Yunsong Order", was written by this girl? Doesn't look well. ”
Li Si closed the window and sat down next to the tea case:
"The youngest granddaughter of Mrs. Hua, she is erudite and talented, and she is known for her in Yanjing, but she went wrong in her early martial arts practice and was inconvenient to walk.
Shen Lin bowed slightly, didn't say much, and continued to discuss the next countermeasures......
——
It was already late at night, but the lights in Jinyang City were increasing instead of decreasing.
The officers and men of the brigade carried shields and guns, poured in from the streets and surrounded the government offices in the east of the city, and the nearby blocks were directly emptied, with three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and even passing sparrows had to be caught and checked.
The three doors of the government office were wide open, and the yamen dressed in black and green robes were fast, standing straight on both sides of the road with knives on their waists, and more than 40 officials, big and small, walked in quickly with their robes.
Stomp ......
"Master Li, what's going on?"
"It seems that the capital has come to visit Qincha, and he has just been assassinated in the city......"
"Mother! Even the Qin Cha dares to assassinate?! ”
……
Behind the office, there is a room facing the garden.
Outside the door, two black-clad chief catchers stood with their knives pressed, engrossed in scanning the surrounding wind and grass, while the birds squatted on the ridge of the roof to keep an eye on them.
In the house, four lampstands are placed on both sides of the screen, the bright yellow light illuminates the large room, and these cultural and calligraphy paintings are placed on the treasure shelf, and in the middle is a screen painted with a beautiful woman holding a fan.
Behind the screen, there is a dark golden Nanmu chess couch, and there are some wound medicines and dragon ring knives on the chess table.
Night Terror Hall took off his robe and bare his upper body, and sat on the couch with a slightly pale face, but his temperament was still calm.
Fan Qinghe's white hands were stained with a lot of blood, and he knelt beside him, dealing with the shocking wound on his shoulder, and asked in a low voice from time to time:
"Does it hurt?"
After the night terror hall got out of the battle, there was no anesthetic in the shoulder, and it must have hurt.
But there were people outside, and he still looked light, looking at a calligraphy and painting on the wall:
"This painting looks quite profound, which famous artist is it from?"
The county guard Wang Ning and the two officials, wearing official robes, stood respectfully outside the screen, hearing this, Wang Junshou hurriedly laughed and said:
"Lord Night has good eyesight. The mother is the uncle of the prince of the king of the capital, the prince of the red tiger, in previous years, when the official entered Beijing, he went to visit the palace of the king with the prince, and the king of Jing specially gave this landscape map. If you like it......"
"Oh, no."
Night Terror just felt that the painting style was familiar, so he asked casually, and he turned his head and got down to business:
"Let the outsiders disperse, I came here this time to investigate the smuggling case.
"Breaking the silence and collaborating with the enemy to commit treason, smuggling scaly steel to the Northern Liang, although I brought him to justice today, I did not ask other accomplices.
"The injured man has seized a dart bureau in Lanyang, there are many forbidden objects in it, and the snake king tiger in the city is also involved in this matter.
"For these things, you have to ask Lord Wang to contact the Duke of Zhenguo, carefully and thoroughly investigate the officials and border troops in Yazhou, don't leave any fish that slip through the net, and the imperial court will send someone to assist Lord Wang in a few days."
Wang Junshou hurriedly surrendered his hand: "These should be things that should be within the responsibility of the lower officials, but I didn't expect that in the past, I didn't expect that Broken Voice had such a reputation and status, and he was not popular enough to swallow elephants, and secretly collaborated with the enemy in private."
"Thanks to Lord Ye's discernment, the people of Yazhou eradicated this thief, otherwise the lower officials would still be kept in the dark......"
Born in the night terror, I am not used to these polite words, and I am really injured, so after arranging things, I sent them away.
Wang Jun Shou saw that Ye Tai Sui did not mean to give him a horse, but he was relieved, and hurriedly led people out of the courtyard, originally wanted to ask if he wanted to arrange a few Oiran dancing girls to serve, but when he saw that Ye Tai Sui had a concubine by his side, he still didn't speak.
Squeak~
The door opened and closed, and the room fell silent.
Fan Qinghe knelt on his side, while dealing with his injuries, he was also secretly watching the night terrors talking to the officials, and secretly pondered in his heart - waking up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, the king of Tianlang, who was famous all over the world, thought about it as such......
Waiting for outsiders to leave, Fan Qinghe still wanted to praise the night terror hall for his good demeanor, but as soon as the footsteps disappeared, the night prince in front of him was weak, and he fell straight back.
"Huh?"
Fan Qinghe was bandaging the wound, and when he saw this, he hurriedly held his back with one hand:
"Don't move."
The night terror hall didn't want to move, but the consumption was huge, and he was about to lose too much blood, and when he came back, he was a little unstable, and he talked hard here for a long time, and now he didn't even want to move his fingers, and said:
"Why don't I lie down and heal you?"
Fan Qinghe turned his head and looked, the hardwood chess couch was fine to sit on, but it was definitely uncomfortable to lie down, so he moved it inside, knelt directly behind the night terror hall, and let him pilllow on his lap.
Night Terror Hall originally wanted to lie down, but the back of his head was pillowed between the elastic legs, and a faint fragrance of his daughter came, and when he raised his eyes, he could only see the upper half of Fan Qinghe's face, and the off-duty part was covered by a semicircular outline, and it hung heavily above his head......
Night Terror raised his eyes and looked at it, feeling that the posture was not suitable, and wanted to sit up again, but he was so sore that he didn't want to lift his breath, so he spoke:
"Why don't you find a pillow, like this...... Hmmm......"
Fan Qinghe looked natural, lowered his head and carefully applied medicine to his shoulder, and said softly:
"Illness is not a doctor, why do you want to do so much?"
How can there be a female doctor who treats injuries like this......
Night Terror glanced at it, then looked away again, and looked back and forth in the room, unable to find anything:
"Hmm...... How are you doing? ”
Fan Qinghe's expression was engrossed: "I'll be fine for a long time, you care about yourself first." If you look like this, if you are seen by your fierce daughter-in-law, you will not be punished for three months......"
Murderous daughter-in-law? When Night Terror heard this adjective, he immediately thought he was talking about stupidity, but he immediately reacted again, talking about Ning'er who was spanking her, and he smiled and said:
"Ning'er is usually not fierce, but I misunderstood last time, I thought you had something to do with me, and I regarded you as my own family, so I was not so polite......"
When Fan Qinghe heard this, she couldn't help but recall that two days ago in bed, she suddenly sat up and shook her grandmother in front of the night terror.
Fan Qinghe's face turned slightly red, and his sitting posture was a little restrained, biting his lower lip and not responding.
Night Terror Hall also remembered the unforgettable Da Bai Tuan'er, and was a little embarrassed in his heart, and after saying a few words, sleepiness flooded into his mind, so he closed his eyes and slowly slowed down his breathing.
Fan Qinghe moved gently and slowly bandaged the wound.
After finishing it, she looked at it a little and saw that there was some blood stains on Night Terror's body, so she took a soft blanket from the chess couch as a pillow and put it on the back of Night Terror's head, and then quietly got up and came to the door, and asked the black guard to bring hot water and sit in front of her, wiping her cheeks, neck, and chest muscles with a towel......
Night Terror's injuries had just been treated, so naturally he didn't have a chance to take a bath, and the left half of his body was covered in blood.
Fan Qinghe carefully wiped his chest, wiped the blood stains on his abdominal muscles, and then glanced at the waist of his pants, feeling that his pants were soaked with blood, and the sticky was definitely uncomfortable.
Fan Qinghe hesitated, and in the spirit of not being a doctor, he thought about taking out the knife, preparing to cut the black pants and continue to wipe them down.
But this time the night terror hall was asleep, not unconscious, and when she noticed that Miss Fan was about to do something stupid like Shui'er, she woke up, held the hand on her waist, and looked down:
"Uh...... No, I'll just come by myself tomorrow morning. ”
Fan Qinghe, as a serious doctor, was a little hesitant, but when she saw the patient twisting, her mind naturally stabilized, and she said seriously:
"The pants are full of blood, sticking to the body, and the leg hair can be ripped off tomorrow morning. I'm a doctor, don't think so much, just hold on to a normal heart. ”
"I really don't need it, this kind of thing ......"
"Lie down!"
Fan Qinghe was as if facing a disobedient patient, his expression was serious and fierce, and then he took a knife and cut his pants.
Seeing that Miss Fan was so professional, he was naturally thinking about it, and he was calm and concentrating at the moment, trying to treat himself on the spot, and was being treated by the doctor.
But what Fan Qinghe said was an understatement, how could he not be nervous in his heart, and slowly cut his pants with a knife, but he didn't see anything, and his face was already visibly red.
Seeing Fan Qinghe's face flushing, Night Terror Hall knew that she was not as natural as she said in her heart, so she gritted her teeth and stood up on the wooden couch:
"I'd better come by myself, Miss Fan is her daughter's ......"
Fan Qinghe really couldn't get started, and he didn't pretend to be hard at the moment, so he got up silently and moved to the back of the Night Terror Hall, and found another hot towel:
"I'll wipe your back, the two of you will be quicker together, and it will be more comfortable to fall asleep after cleaning up. If you don't want to move, just talk to me and I'll help you. ”
Night Terror shook his head and chuckled, wiping the blood from his waist and legs with a wet towel:
"Thank you for your hard work."
"What's so hard about this, didn't you also help me with cupping and needles a few days ago, and help each other......
"Hehe......"
……
After the two of them worked for a while, Night Terror wiped the blood away and lay down on the lappil again.
Fan Qinghe helped rub his forehead to relax, while he closed his eyes and secretly reviewed the experience of this long trip.
With the death of silence, this trip to the West Sea can be regarded as a complete end.
Although there is still an undercurrent between the two dynasties, there are murderous intentions hidden everywhere, and the matter is far from over, but he has overdrafted too much in successive bloody battles, and even She Long's injuries are gradually leaving, and it is too risky to run again, and he must return to the capital as soon as possible to recuperate.
Just now, he had already arranged for people to dispatch the elite of the Yazhou army, plus find a few big boats, and when it was dawn, he would be able to board the boats and set off from the Lan River.
The water of the Lanhe River is turbulent, it is very slow to go upstream, but it is quite fast to go down the river, starting from Jinyang in the morning, it is estimated that it will arrive at the Lanhe Wharf in the afternoon, and then cross Yazhou from the Qingjiang River into the Yunzhou Plain, and arrive at the capital downstream, it is estimated that it only takes less than ten days.
When we set off, the mountains were full of autumn colors, and when we returned, there was already snow all over the place, and there was a lot of harvest during the process.
Night Terror Hall lay down and thought about it for a long time, and when I was half asleep and half awake, I suddenly remembered Pisces again.
Pisces is a talisman given by Hu Niuniu before leaving, and he has not been willing to wear it for fear of breaking it, and the hairpin picked up under the ginkgo tree, together with Sanniang's jewelry box.
I remember that Hu Niuniu also promised at that time that as long as she returned safely, she would fulfill his two wishes......
What do you want when you go back......
Let the Queen Mother and Shui Shui marry together in the Night Mansion......
Mommy......
??
Night Terror woke up suddenly, and looked left and right.
Fan Qinghe pressed his forehead gently, and found that the night terror hall that he had just slept in suddenly woke up again, and looked left and right, as if someone was chasing him with a knife, and couldn't help but wonder:
"Nightmare?"
Night terrors are not nightmares, but dreams of death.
He coughed lightly, suppressed the mess, and closed his eyes again:
"It's not a nightmare, it's getting late, you can rest too."
"You just experienced a fight, your heartstrings are tight, you can't sleep even more when I'm gone, rest well, I'll wait for you to sleep before you sleep."
"Heh......"
