Chapter 27: Hiding the Fugitives of the Nine Clans
In the stove room, there was also a bowl of chicken soup that he hadn't finished last night, Fu Xianyue was very careful and put it in a basin of cold water. In the other basin, there was a bowl of rice, Li Mu smelled it, and it was still very fresh.
Fu Xianyue is not only careful, but also cherishes food and is a good woman at home.
Li Mu sighed, there is rice, there is chicken soup, this is the most suitable, Li Mu immediately lit the fire, first boiled a pot of boiling water, and then poured the chicken soup into the pot, added a bowl of water, and slowly simmered.
Halfway through, Li Mu went to the house and saw the woman in black twice, but he didn't know if he was really unconscious, or Fu Xianyue's sleeping pills, which worked.
The woman slept very deeply, Li Mu leaned close to her ear and shouted a few times, but there was no response, but Li Mu felt her pulse and gently probed the woman's neck, which seemed to be fine.
The chicken soup was hot, Li Mu was really hungry, pulled half a bowl of leftover rice, soaked it in a small half of chicken soup, and devoured it, looking at the remaining chicken soup with unfinished eyes.
Forget it, it's better to keep it for women.
Li Mu carried half a bowl of chicken soup and entered the house, seeing that the woman showed no signs of waking up, Li Mu didn't care much, sat down directly on the edge of the bed, lifted the woman's head, and leaned on his arm.
Li Mu lifted the veil of a woman.
I saw the wonderful person who once flew with a sword and danced like a fairy.
There is no accident, it is the grandson aunt that Li Mu admires.
Her facial features are still so exquisite, her face is pale, her brows are tightly locked, her teeth are biting her lips, and her stubborn and angry expression exposes all the resentment and unwillingness in her heart.
An almost perfect middle-aged beauty, why did she do this? Li Mu is both appreciative and sympathetic.
Picking up the soup spoon, while blowing hot air, he muttered: "Aunt Gongsun, I really don't mean to offend, it's all for your good, you are tired and heartbroken, I have seen it." ”
"At this time, the wound needs to be further treated, you have to eat something to recover quickly, take a sip of chicken soup, and get better soon, how much do I want to see your amazing sword dance again?"
"Aunt Gongsun, don't blame me for being verbose, why do you have so much hatred for a talent like you? There is something that can't be handled according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, you have to kill people on the street, and then be hunted down, and it is heart-wrenching to be like this. ”
“......”
Li Mu didn't know what was wrong, he became nagging, said a lot of inexplicable words, half a bowl of chicken soup, and before he knew it, he was also fed into the mouth of Aunt Gongsun.
"Oh, Aunt Gongsun, you're really hungry, blame me for being greedy, there's only so much chicken soup left, these few pieces of chicken, you will eat them too, right?"
Li Mu nagged and fed a piece of chicken to Aunt Gongsun.
"Ahem." Aunt Gongsun suddenly coughed lightly twice and slowly opened her eyes.
Li Mu was nervous and didn't know whether to let go or continue.
"You, you're awake?" Li Mu asked.
Aunt Gongsun opened her eyes, glanced at Li Mu, and said, "If you don't wake up, can you drink so much chicken soup?" ”
Li Mu was shocked and asked, "So, you heard all the nonsense I just said?" I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really having to offend you. ”
Aunt Gongsun said: "I'm not so ignorant, you saved me?" Chicken, can you continue to feed me after eating? ”
Li Mu was pleasantly surprised and said, "Okay, you're really hungry, let's eat chicken, eat it in one go, and you'll have the strength." ”
Aunt Gongsun didn't speak, closed her eyes, and waited for Li Mu to feed her chicken, and soon, the remaining few pieces of chicken were eaten by Aunt Gongsun.
Li Mu didn't dare to hold Aunt Gongsun like this anymore, and gently put her head on the pillow, Aunt Gongsun sighed lightly and said, "Good man to the end, please bring my sword?" ”
Li Mu got up, took a step back, and asked, "In your situation, what do you need a sword for?" What you need most now is to pull out the arrow from your shoulder. Hey, you don't want to kill me, do you? ”
Aunt Gongsun held on, sat up, leaned on the head of the bed, and stared at Li Mu: "You know me?" ”
Li Mu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I don't know,"
Aunt Gongsun said: "Are you lying? Don't know you called my name? Aren't you some kind of prince? Do you think I'm stupid, or blind? ”
Li Mu knew in his heart that Aunt Gongsun was against the imperial court, and if she killed the official, she would naturally not show mercy to any prince.
Li Mu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, your appearance is very similar to the Gongsun Auntie I have seen, so you screamed out randomly, don't get me wrong, does a prince live in such a humble place?" ”
Aunt Gongsun asked suspiciously: "I'm not a big lady, am I that old?" My surname is Song, so you are also a person who looks very similar to a certain prince? Is it really such a coincidence? What is your name? ”
Li Mu said casually: "Oh, Sister Song, it must be like this, I am called Li Sanqi, and I am a follower of the Taishi Bureau." This is Yanjing Lane, an abandoned observation point under the Taishi Bureau, which is very safe. ”
Thirty-seven twenty-one, Li Sanqi and himself are very compatible, Li Mu lied, didn't make drafts, and that's it.
Aunt Gongsun sneered lightly, at that time, she was on the side street, but she heard with her own ears that the coachman shouted the title of His Royal Highness.
And the little man in front of him is the same as the prince he saw inside and outside the hall a few days ago.
Is this a trap?
Aunt Gongsun quickly thought about the worst possibility, the prince went out, pretended to save me, and then gained my trust, and wiped out my relatives and disciples?
There is only one explanation.
Aunt Gongsun said: "Li Sanqi, the grace of saving my life, the concubine should repay herself in the future, please help me bring the sword, I am not sure without it." ”
Li Mu was depressed, it was obvious that the two were fooling each other, he was lying, because he didn't want Aunt Gongsun to vent her hatred on him because of her hatred of certain officials and the court.
Lao Tzu doesn't want to take the blame for those corrupt officials.
I'll bring you a sword, and you will kill me with a sword? Am I a stupid fork?
Li Mu said: "The sword has long been gone, the carriage entered the courtyard, I haven't seen your sword, you take a rest first, think about how to deal with the arrow, I'll go out for you to find it." ”
After Li Mu finished speaking, he hurriedly came out and sat on the edge of the porch.
Li Mu looked at the carriage in the dark, he really didn't know how to end it, the two deceived each other, how long could they hide it? This Gongsun aunt is bitter and hateful, can she tolerate me, an unknown prince?
The official arrested Aunt Gongsun, Li Mutie couldn't do it, if he left quietly, he could stay out of the matter, but Aunt Gongsun would definitely fall into the hands of the government, and there was no need to think about the end.
Li Muyu couldn't bear it.
The admiration in his heart was still there, and he was curious, Li Mu didn't want to just let go.
After sitting for a while, I heard the sound of slamming the door and scolding in the alley outside, and it was getting closer and closer from here.
It's not good, listen to the sound, it must be the yamen's fast catch, sweeping the streets and searching for it.
Li Mu turned around and came in, blew out the lights and candles, and said anxiously: "Sister Song, there is a quick arrest outside, there is a big search, you hide quickly, I will go to the house in front of me and block them, you must not make a sound." ”
Aunt Gongsun said: "Can you block it? It won't be to show them the way, will it? Anyway, today, my grandson and aunt will have a fish with you to break the net. ”
Aunt Gongsun did not hide it and reported her name.
Li Mu said: "You must not be reckless, I have my own way to block them and keep you safe, believe it or not." ”
After Li Mu finished speaking, he cleaned up the dishes and spoons, hid the medicine box, turned around and went out, and locked the door from the outside.
I quickly went to the front room, lit the lamp and candle, opened the book, spread out the paper and pen, and pretended to read and write.
"Bang Bang," a fierce knock on the door soon came, followed by a reprimand: "Open the door, the Yamen of the Criminal Department will search for the assassins, and hide the fugitives and scourge the Nine Clans." ”
Li Mu's scalp tingled when he heard this, this gang of miscellaneous people, bullying people, three watches in the middle of the night, harming the common people is similar to bandits.
Li Mu came out, opened the door, and five or six catchers, holding torches in their hands, poured in together.
Jin Zhutou, who was walking in front, scolded loudly: "Who are you? Is there a fugitive being pursued by the Criminal Department hidden in this courtyard? Say it. ”
Li Mu was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "A few officials, it's funny, this is the territory of the Taishi Bureau, I am an observer here, what a fugitive, I haven't heard of it." ”
Jin Zhutou was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said: "The territory of the Taishi Bureau, so what?" If I find an Assassin, what do you know what will happen? ”
Li Mu didn't want to reveal his identity, these little miscellaneous people, it is estimated that he doesn't know any princes, but is troublesome.
Li Mu said: "Hiding fugitives, Zhulian Nine Clans, isn't that what is going on?" ”
