Volume 1: The First Signs Chapter 63, Dan Xin's Holy Hand Calls for Spring
"I can wait!"
Xia Pei sat back at the banquet and smiled at her, "My third brother is talented, I sigh to myself, and it is also because of this that I can't stand you being too intimate with him." β
"Your Majesty's heart, the minister's heart has been understood." Lu Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and looked slightly condensed, "But in Your Majesty's palace, there is already a Cai Guifei ......"
"I've never touched her!" Xia Pei said firmly.
Lu Zhaoyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This is Your Majesty's private matter, Your Majesty doesn't have to explain!" The minister didn't mind. β
"That's just my father's ploy to win over the Sergeant Guan. I don't have half affection for her, but I am sincere to you. β
"Really?" Lu Zhaoyi forced a smile, "The minister is not born with a good skin, Your Majesty does not need to be so obsessed." β
Originally, when Wu Gong was alive, he always wanted to take the opportunity to arrange for her to meet Xia Pei, but considering her status as a strategist at that time, she did not arrange a chance to get acquainted.
After that, the troubled times calmed down, and Wu Gong planned to make her appear in a new identity, but her condition deteriorated and she passed away, which was even more impossible.
Xia Pei still wanted to quibble, but she didn't give any chance.
"If Your Majesty has nothing else important, the minister will retire, and when Li Taishou's condition improves, he will come to visit again!"
"Wait!"
He still stopped her in time.
"I have something to ask you." He regained his former calm and calm imperial appearance, "Judging from the notes you once handed to me, the poisonous boil should have come from the hands of the big clans of Danyang County and Yue County, I treated them well, and I didn't follow my father's example of slaughtering the people of Jiangzuo, why did you make such a decision?" β
Lu Zhaoyi gritted his teeth and responded, "This matter is about to come to light, and there is still one last clue!" β
"Oh?" Xia Pei seemed to be very puzzled.
When she was about to explain, suddenly, a maid in the backyard of the county government rushed to the front yard in a panic and shouted, "Oh no, someone in the backyard has stabbed her!" Li Taishou, he, he, it's almost gone! β
As soon as they heard this, Lu Zhaoyi and Xia Pei's faces changed greatly, and they rushed out of the hall instead, and saw that the maid's hands were full of blood, and they couldn't tell whether it was her own or someone else's.
As soon as the voice sounded, I looked at her state again, and suddenly, the entire county government exploded, and everyone immediately ran towards the backyard.
"Quick...... Call the Imperial Doctor! β
Hearing the change in color, Lu Zhaoyi's heart tightened, and without hesitation, he immediately turned around and rushed to the door with Xia Pei, and saw the panicked appearance of everyone in the courtyard.
"Protect Your Majesty's evacuation."
There was chaos in the county office, and the disguised guards quickly gathered in and protected Xia Pei in it.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoyi stopped in a panic and shouted at the guards: "Escort Your Majesty back to the army first." β
The guards were ordered, moved their pace a little, and fled from the county government with Xia Pei.
Watching the emperor and the guards leave, when she panicked, she suddenly remembered something, so she rushed out of the county office again, ordered Xia Pinglang to find some objects, and then returned to the county office and went straight to the backyard.
Li Qian, the protΓ©gΓ© of the fifth Langya, judging from his style of acting in the past two months and his intelligence, should not fall into the trap so easily.
When I came to the main room in the backyard, there were already many people gathered at the door outside, and inside, Ding Rong, the county governor, Ran Feng, the county magistrate, and Chen Zhong, the county commander, were all surrounded by the bed.
Lying down was an elegant man in his thirties, who was not very old, but his eyebrows were full of fortitude, but now his face was pale and weak, his lips were chapped, his forehead was oozing sweat, and his chest was violently undulating.
Seeing this, Lu Zhaoyi rushed over and asked everyone in a panic.
"Isn't the Imperial Doctor here yet?"
Zhang Shu sighed, "I've already found someone to invite." β
Looking at Li Qian's injury, it seems that he has lost too much blood, and if he doesn't rescue him, I'm afraid he will really die.
In just a few moments, it should be a quick decision.
In a hurry, Lu Zhaoyi was desperate, hurriedly rushed in, lay on the edge of the collapse, lifted his cuffs to treat Li Qian, and at the same time asked the accompanying black armor guards to drive everyone out.
It just so happened that Xia Pinglang arrived in time and handed over the things she had just told her to need, and then withdrew and sent someone to guard the outside of this courtyard.
"Li Taishou, Qi Niang has offended, wait for you to bear with it." Lu Zhaoyi comforted softly, raised his left hand, and picked up the pliers knife and clamped it in front of his chest, three inches behind the arrow of the arrow.
With a little force, Li Qian's scream became a little louder, and she was still calming down while cutting off the arrow.
When the tongs knife was put down, she immediately picked up the scalpel again and placed it in front of the candle flame to roast.
At this time, Li Qian, who was on the couch, opened his mouth and said in a weak voice, "There is no one here, Li wants to ask you, should I call you Lu Niangzi, or should I call you Gou Chenzi?" β
Lu Zhaoyi only paused for a moment, changed hands after baking the knife, tore the clothes of the wound on his chest forcefully, took out the anesthetic and applied it to the wound, and waited for a while before preparing to go under the knife.
"Did the fifth tell you? Or did you guess? β
Li Qian gritted his teeth, and responded after a "hiss" in his mouth, "Master has never told me this, but in the past two months, what you have done makes me suspicious. I'm afraid that in the future, some people in the court will make a big fuss about you. Shhhh......h
The knife cut half a minute along the perimeter of the wound, drawing a blood mark, Lu Zhaoyi saw the opportunity, picked up the clip and pulled out the arrow that pierced his lungs.
She raised her arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and chuckled: "Gou Chen, I want to hear about it!" With that, she took out a fine needle and intertwined it with the thread and sewed up the wound.
"Hahahaha......" Hearing her call herself "Gou Chen", Li Qian couldn't help laughing,
"Two months ago, after you left Luojing, you went straight to the three counties of Huainan. These days, the two guards of Heijia and Shadow Moon have been transferred extremely frequently, and they have established a contact point in Lujiang County, which is indeed Gou Chenzi's style of doing things so quickly. β
"However, since then, Gou Chenzi, who was supposed to be in Luojing, seems to have lost his ability overnight, doing nothing, and even such a major event as mobilizing the Qingzhou Army must be sent to Anfeng County through your hands before it can be executed."
Speaking of this, the movements in Lu Zhaoyi's hands seemed to pause, sew up the wound, and then picked up gauze and herbs to stop the bleeding.
This matter was Gou Chen's negligence. At that time, the situation was urgent, and Gou Chen didn't think too much about it, thinking about moving quickly, worried about what would happen afterwards. β
"Gou Chenzi, Li has thought of a way for you, and when you go back to Luojing in the future, you can block the mouth of Youyou!"
As he spoke, the wound had been bandaged, and then he said, "I'm afraid it's not needed, right?" With your resourcefulness, you should have figured out a solution, right? β
Li Qian lay on the couch, gently touched his bandaged wound, and smiled.
"As everyone knows, Yunhua Divine Doctor is a rare famous doctor since ancient times, and he has a set of dissecting knife medical methods, which are now lost in the rivers and lakes. And that's what you just used, right? β
His eyes were misty, but he could see that his eyes were full of appreciation.
Lu Zhaoyi frowned slightly, not admitting or denying it.
"Yunhua's closed disciple, Gou Chenzi, really lives up to his name! No wonder you have been hiding your identity all these years, and if your set of medical methods falls on the rivers and lakes, it will definitely cause an uproar. Li Qian was full of emotion.
After the operation, she got up, took a few steps back, breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned to the side, "You are too weak now, you still need to recuperate." Later, I will order someone to boil you some blood-tonifying medicinal soup, so that you can rest for a long time. β
She turned, trying to leave, but didn't take a few steps before turning back, "You know who's going to kill you?" β
Li Qian, who was on the couch, did not move, and looked at the beam of the room for a long time before speaking slowly.
"The county official in my county has a spy!"
As soon as the words were settled, Lu Zhaoyi was still expressionless, and nodded lightly, "I also guessed this matter." This assassination of you was supposed to be aimed at me, but I was unable to act because of my previous illness......"
After a pause, she continued, "Now that the disease is fading away, their plan has come to naught, so they want to kill you to vent their anger." β
"The Qin family? Is it so hateful? I just ordered someone to shoot a few servants of the Qin family......"
Before Li Qian finished speaking, she immediately continued, "I'm afraid it's not the Qin family, right?" From beginning to end, they were only seeking money, and they didn't think about killing them, and the six major families of Jiangzuo were also like this, so I am afraid that the real people behind the scenes will surface. β
"Who could that be?" On the sickbed, he seemed to talk to himself.
Lu Zhaoyi didn't answer, but he was thinking in his heart that if he could find the woman named He Lijun, the truth should be revealed.
It seemed that after a long time, neither of them spoke, one lying quietly, and the other standing by the door, each with his own thoughts.
Suddenly, Li Qian's weak voice came, "What are you going to do with the spy among the county officials?" β
