Chapter 36: A Trip to Huzhou

The carriage from Shangjing City walked on the official road in the spring breeze, and the bell jingled.

Inside the carriage, Shen Yanbai lifted the curtain and looked at the road ahead, and Changfu turned his head just to meet his gaze. He smiled and took out a white-flour steamed bun from his baggage and handed it to him.

"Your Highness is hungry, right? Eat some steamed buns first, pad your stomach, and we'll go to the front post station in a while. ”

Shen Yanbai didn't take the steamed buns, shook his head, and said, "You eat, I'm not hungry yet." How long have we been around? ”

"It's been four hours, and there is a post station in the suburbs of Beijing in front, and we still have to take the waterway after the post station, and it will take some days to get there."

Shen Yanbai sighed and retracted his hand. After a while, he poked his head out again.

"Changfu, stay at the post station tonight."

"Your Highness, it's a waste of time to live in a post station, didn't His Royal Highness King Yong let us go to a divine doctor to save people's lives?"

"You really think that the miracle doctor is so easy to find!"

Changfu was puzzled, and Shen Yanbai continued: "Li Jingwen must still have a back hand, I don't believe that he really trusts to leave this matter to me." ”

"Your Highness, you're thinking too much."

"You know what, listen to me."

Changfu said a word, and hurried to the post station.

Huzhou City.

At night, Huzhou fell into a dead silence. There was not a single figure in the streets, and it was even more desolate and desolate than in the daytime.

Eleven slipped into the Huzhou granary in a night suit, and directly put down the guard at the door and cut the lock.

The granary was full of half-warehouse rice bags at the moment, and Eleven's eyes widened, the scene in front of him was not like what Zhou Zhenzhen said anyway.

She stretched out her hand and touched the rice bag in front of her, took out a dagger from her sleeve and cut it open, and all that flowed out of the bag was white rice.

Eleven couldn't figure out what was going on in the middle, so she didn't dare to stay any longer and immediately withdrew her dagger and left the granary. When the door was locked, there was a sudden creaking sound of carriages at the intersection outside the warehouse, and she could clearly hear the number of people and the distance after training in the building all year round.

At this point, it was impossible to run, so she quickly dragged the two guards lying on the ground and quickly hid.

As soon as she dodged a troop of soldiers and horses, she led a wagon full of goods and stopped outside the granary.

"My lord, the brothers have brought it back. You point points, if you are short of two subordinates, you will kill back! ”

"No, let's go into the warehouse."

Huzhou General Soldier Tian Qiu waved his hand and immediately ordered his subordinates to unload the goods into the warehouse.

Eleven poked out of her hiding place, and she saw officers and soldiers hurrying inside with things on their shoulders, and when she looked closely, it turned out to be bags of white rice.

Eleven is even more skeptical.

"My lord, this is already the third batch of goods, and the entire General Military Mansion has no extra money to spend on the account, and even the things in the armory have been ......" The deputy general next to him sighed, "My lord, it is not a way to do this in the long run, where is the disaster relief food of the imperial court!" ”

"Two days ago, I have already repaired a letter to send to King Yong, as long as His Royal Highness King Yong can see the letter, I believe he will definitely find a way."

"But we can't always pin our hopes on a Yongwang! My lord! The people of Huzhou can't afford to wait for a long time! ”

Tian Qiu's brows were tightly locked, knowing that he was no less anxious at the moment than the deputy general beside him.

"Wait for news, if the imperial court does not open new relief food next month, we will take the last step." He turned his head, looked resolute, looked at the deputy general, and said, "We must not let the people of this city in Huzhou be starved to death." ”

The lieutenant didn't speak again, just nodded at him.

……

In the city of Huzhou, the wind suddenly rose. Liang Rushi fled on the road in embarrassment, and the two men behind him chased after him with knives.

The killer behind him suddenly stopped and immediately raised his crossbow.

The first arrow passed through the ear, piercing the air next to the ear, roaring like a flute. Liang Rushi subconsciously covered his ears and continued to run forward. But the second arrow hit the thigh, and he fell to the ground with a painful cry and grinned in pain.

The two behind him put away their crossbows and ran forward, and Liang screamed truthfully and dragged his injured leg forward.

"Liang is truthful! Obediently die! ”

The person behind him screamed, and Liang listened truthfully, and the fear of sudden death enveloped his whole body. When the sharp long knife slashed at him, he felt as if his bones were frozen, and his mind went blank for a moment.

After a while, the blade that should have fallen did not hit his body, and a touch of red flashed in front of him, and suddenly the sound of weapons clashing was heard, and the two men retreated in unison, and they were invincible to the woman who suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Woman out of nowhere, get out of here! We brothers don't want to affect the innocent! ”

They let go of their cruel words, but the woman in red in front of them was still unmoved, although she was not equipped with a sword, the aura emanating from her surroundings was so majestic.

"It's a misfortune, I want to protect the two of you who are going to kill. You can't take his life tonight. ”

The two men stared at the woman in front of them, and the more they looked at this dress, the more familiar they became.

The red coat and hat, the body is elegant, and I don't see it. Isn't this exactly what the owner of Jinyu House is dressed up in?

"You? Aren't you? ”

Under the hood, Zhou Zhenzhen hooked the corners of her mouth to reveal a meaningful smile.

"I'll give you a chance. You will disappear from my sight in three counts, and the last person I see will die. ”

The two men in front of them were extremely worried, they knew that they would not take on this task, and now they had to meet the most difficult one.

They stepped back vigilantly, seeing that they were about to run, but Liang Rushi yelled at this moment.

"Kill them! Kill them! I can't let them go, they'll come back and kill me!" ”

After hearing this, Zhou Zhenzhen's whole body was speechless.

She lifted her cloak, turned and crouched down, pressing it against Liang Rushi's wound, watching him twist in pain.

"Do you know how to be a man, leave a line, and see each other in the future. I am a Jianghu person, and I am the most taboo to kill these things! ”

Liang Rushi was already at a loss for pain, where did he hear what Zhou Zhenzhen said.

Zhou Zhenzhen left enough time for the two people behind her to escape, but when they saw Zhou Zhenzhen turn around and have murderous intentions, they didn't know where they got the courage to take out their crossbows and aim them at the front.

After years of martial arts practice, Zhou Zhenzhen only felt a chill behind her.

It's not that she wants to kill people, but that some people don't understand how to survive.

"Okay, I'll take it back. If someone is looking for their own death, then I can't blame it! ”

Zhou Zhenzhen took a step ahead and pulled out the crossbow arrow on Liang Rushi's thigh. With a swing of his hand, the bolt pierced the air and missed the first arrow, piercing the throat of a man. The other person was frightened and began to shoot arrows at Zhou Zhenzhen indiscriminately in order to protect himself.

Zhou Zhenzhen's feet were light and her body was extremely fast, and she ran towards him. As the last arrow was fired from the crossbow, he grabbed the arrow, and a beautiful spin was already stuck in his neck, and the blood was killing him instantly.

Liang Rushi finally reacted, and looked at the two men who fell to the ground, and suddenly a chill rushed straight to the Tianling Gai. At this moment, he stared at Zhou Zhenzhen like a cat and a mouse.

Zhou Zhenzhen slowly walked back and opened his mouth and fed him a pill, even though Liang Rushi resisted the medicine again and was swallowed alive.

"You! What did you give me to eat! He ran his fingers to his throat and retched.

Zhou Zhenzhen deliberately made it bad and scared him.

"Seven days of broken intestines, without an antidote, you will definitely die."

Liang Rushi was stupid and looked at Zhou Zhenzhen in a daze.

Actually, it was just an ordinary hemostatic pill.

"Who the hell are you! Save me, I'm going to kill me now! What is there on me that is worth taking?! ”

"What are you anxious about, I won't kill you for the time being. But if you don't understand and keep yelling, don't blame my men for being ruthless. ”

Liang Rushi's face darkened when he heard this, and he was really silent very knowingly.

……

Beijing suburbs, post station.

Li Jingwen arrived before the post station closed, and Qin Song tied his horse and guarded the post station with a team of East Palace guards.

Li Jingwen walked in, and the little guy at the post station hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Trouble Xiao Er to prepare an upper room for us." Qin Song took out the token of Yongwangfu.

The little guy was very eye-catching, "Okay, guest upstairs, please!"

The two of them lived in the best room of the post station under the leadership of the little maid, Li Jingwen sat down by himself, and Qin Song checked the room back and forth to ensure Li Jingwen's safety.

"Your Highness, our people have lost His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."

"Something to be expected." Li Jingwen was not surprised.

"Your Highness has long known about it? Why not block it? ”

"It's not the first day you've known him. After a while, he ordered to go down and change to a larger carriage, and the king was to go with the four princes. ”

"Huh?!" Qin Song exclaimed.

Li Jingwen raised his eyes, "Ah, what, go and prepare." ”

Qin Song pursed his lips, hugged his sword and left the room.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Li Jingwen was sitting on the edge of the bed and was about to take off his shoes, when he heard the familiar voice outside the door, he immediately stopped all his movements and got up to open the door.

"Guest officer, the food and drinks you want have been served!"

Shen Yanbai hunched his waist with a food box, and a little dress appeared in front of Li Jingwen's eyes.

Li Jingwen turned his head slightly and glanced at him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was restrained to make way out.

"Okay, put it down."

"Alas, good guest officer."

Shen Yanbai walked in with a food box and laid out the meals in an orderly manner. Li Jingwen closed the door and sat in the main seat.

"Guest, this is the peanuts you wanted, drunken duck, Dongpo meat, fried vegetables, and a pot of good rain dew."

Li Jingwen picked up the chopsticks and picked them up in the dishes, picking faults one by one.

"Peanuts should be roasted with old dregs, the drunk duck is too old, the meat is too greasy, and the vegetables have worms, how can this king eat?"

Shen Yanbai was stunned, he didn't expect Li Jingwen's mouth to be so fast and poisonous.

He straightened up and pointed to the dishes on the table and retorted: "These are just burned in the kitchen!" ”

"So what? The king didn't like to eat it, so he withdrew it. ”

With that, he got up and left, and walked to the bed.

"Brother Zimu, did you find me a long time ago?" Shen Yanbai spread his hands and confessed.

Li Jingwen didn't speak, took off a pair of boots and put them next to the bed.

"You've already found out, if you don't demolish me, are you just waiting to see my joke!"

"yes, that's a big joke."

"Brother Zimu, Brother Zimu, you are really full of bad water, and I feel sorry for you to cook for you."

Li Jingwen glanced at the steaming dishes on the table and was surprised, "These...... Did you do it? ”

"Yes! Don't say I'm inconsiderate of you this time. ”

Li Jingwen smiled faintly, did not speak, but lay down and covered the quilt.

Shen Yanbai pursed his lips and didn't know what he was muttering. Suddenly, he had a bad heart, and quickly took off his coat and shoes and went straight to bed like a rabbit. Li Jingwen was shocked and sat up suddenly.

"What are you doing!"

"Let's sleep together, Brother Zimu!" Shen Yanbai's skin is as thick as a city wall.

"Who's going to sleep with you! Go down! ”

"I don't!" He immediately refused, and then changed his words, "Unless you tell me where the Divine Doctor has been recently." ”

"The king doesn't know."

"I don't believe it."

Li Jingwen: "......"

Li Jingwen tried to stay calm.

"Brother Zimu, I know that you all have your own eyeliner in the East Palace, and you must know where the divine doctor is."

"What if the king doesn't say it?"

"You won't. If you really want to see me die, you won't let Qin Song change the carriage. ”

Li Jingwen understood that Shen Yanbai had found out.

Shen Yanbai smiled and pressed him back, supporting his forehead with one hand, Li Jingwen turned his head-

How can two big men look so awkward in this posture.

"Shen Zhixing, it's useless for you to be a scoundrel, if this king is sleepy, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Shen Yanbai nodded, "Well, let's sleep." ”

The air fell silent againβ€”

"Aren't you leaving?"

"Don't go, unless you tell me where the doctor is."

Yes, it's coming back again.

Li Jingwen gave him a blank look, tightened the futon and turned over without looking at him.

Shen Yanbai continued to annoy him.

"Are you going to Huzhou?"

Li Jingwen did not answer.

Shen Yanbai asked again: "Do you want to find Liang Rushi?" ”

Li Jingwen didn't answer again.

Shen Yanbai continued to chase after him, "I must have been right!" Brother Zimu, don't you say that you are not tired of soaking in intrigue and trickery every day? ”

Li Jingwen finally opened his eyes, "Aren't you?" ”

Shen Yanbai said indifferently: "I have a salted fish." ”

"Tomorrow I will go to Huzhou with this king, and you will understand when you get there."
