Chapter One Hundred and Three: The Four Great Generals
Ye Suiyunqi said: "Didn't you say that the 'Jade Head Golden Dragon' was a poisonous snake before?" What do you want this thing for? ”
Tang Xiao nodded and said: "Yes, everything in the world is born and restrained by each other, all have yin and yang sides, although the poisonous snake looks terrifying in ordinary times, it is not all without benefits." This is the case with the jade-headed golden dragon, although its venom can kill, it is not a great poison, so it is only ranked twentieth in the poison scripture, but this venom has a special blood clotting function. ”
Ye Suiyun didn't know why, and asked, "What's the use of this?" ”
Tang smiled: "When I open the bones of Xiao Mengzi, I will inevitably bleed profusely, which is very dangerous, so I need the venom of the Jade Head Golden Dragon to blend a medicine to stop bleeding, so it can be successful." Ye Suiyun suddenly realized.
The two returned to the governor's mansion and told the story of the incident. Gong Qing said: "If you save Xiao Mengzi, then the key kept by the second elder will not be a problem." ”
Tang Xiao said: "I have only heard Master talk about this method, but I have never implemented it, in fact, I am not sure at all. I'm afraid just in case ... In case of.. ”
Gong Qing held her hand and encouraged: "This time, even if you don't help Xiaomengzi, this kid won't last long, you should muster up the courage to give it a try, what the result is, we can only do our best and obey the fate of God." ”
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "Thank you, I'm going to think about it alone." Chao Ye Suiyun said: "Brother Ye family, you find me a basket of grapes, and I need a quick knife, I can use it." After speaking, she returned to her room, thinking that she wanted to meditate on the matter of opening her bones, but the two of them knew that she must be under a lot of pressure, so they didn't bother.
Gong Qing said to Ye Suiyun: "The second elder Fulu doesn't care about it for now, and now we have to think about how to get the other two keys." Ye Suiyun naturally agreed, and said: "Miss Qing, I don't know the situation when I first arrived, so let's say it, which one should I find first?" ”
Gong Qing said: "I have been thinking about it alone for a long time, so I should start with Cao Gaisi first." Zhang Shanshi's martial arts are not high, so it is easier to deal with. Ye Suiyun thought that he might not be afraid, but it didn't matter, he couldn't avoid it anyway, and asked: "How should I proceed exactly, is it stealing or robbing?" ”
Gong Qing said: "No, no, no matter what you do, it is bound to attract attention in the White Emperor City." So get your hands on it outside. Ye Suiyunqi said: "Outside? ”
Gong Qing said: "Cao Gaisi has to go to Gushan every half a month to go to the mansion he placed to have a tryst, in fact, it is more accurate to say that he robbed the "**", it is said that as many as a dozen people are raised in it. And the next time he goes out of town will be tomorrow morning. Ye Suiyun secretly wondered that most of the girls in the White Emperor City were taken captive by this villain, so why did they still have to be kept outside. Gong Qing guessed his mind and said, "The people in the city don't have the courage to move. ”
Ye Suiyun didn't want to dwell on this matter more, anyway, he made up his mind in his heart, sooner or later he would notify Leng Xiaoxiao to lead the troops to rescue them all, and asked, "You mean that I will follow him to Gushanji tomorrow and find an opportunity to steal the key?" ”
Gong Qing shook her head and said, "It's not stealing, but taking, I hope you can take this opportunity to get rid of this evil murderer." Ye Suiyunqi said: "Kill him?" ”
Gong Qing said: "Cao Gaisi is a close confidant of the Yuwen brothers, if he can take this opportunity to kill him, it will also be a weakening for the Yuwen and the others. "Ye Suiyun is not stupid, he knows that Gong Qing wants to do it himself, and the punishment is secondary, and the more important thing is to fight the forces of the Yuwen clan. Gong Qing looked at him in his eyes, naturally understood, and said: "This is not just for my brother and sister to plan for you to do this, Cao Gaisi is ruthless, has killed countless people, and how many unjust souls sink at the bottom of the river are all from him, shouldn't such a person die?" ”
Ye Suiyun was reminded by her words, remembering the scene he saw on the Jia Gong boat, if Zhang Shanshi had to stop it, I was afraid that that the vote would not survive, and people like Cao Gaisi really died innocently, thinking of this, he nodded violently and said: "That's it." "At the same time, I also thought that I was looking for the 'Jade Head Golden Dragon' by the way.
Gong Qing said again: "Cao Gaisi has four major generals, namely Meng Zhuangyuan, Qiu Dazui, Qiu Saisai and Jia Yituo, every time he goes out of the city, he must bring two of them as guards, the surname Cao is not in charge of the affairs on weekdays, all of them are in charge of these four people, if he does not show up for a few days, it will not attract attention, but if one of the four generals disappears, it will immediately cause alarm." ”
Ye Suiyun asked, "Which two people will accompany you tomorrow?" ”
Gong Qing said: "This time it's Meng Zhuangyuan and Qiu Saisai, you have to find a way to trap these two people, but you can't hurt their lives." ”
Ye Suiyun frowned, he didn't know what to do for a while, if the two of them were restrained by points, wouldn't they still have to show the stuffing when the acupoints were solved, let alone tied with a rope, and asked, "What are the weaknesses of these people?" ”
Gong Qing said approvingly: "Your brain is really flexible, and you are on the point." I also know that things are difficult, so I have to start with the personalities of a few people. Qiu Dazui thought he was brave and invincible before, but I heard that Gong Wei had also been punished badly in recent years. Jia Yituo is extremely greedy, and as long as he sees food, he loses his resistance. But this time it has nothing to do with them, so there is no need to worry. Ye Suiyun thought that Qiu Dazui didn't get along with him badly, if it was him this time, maybe things would be easier.
Gong Qing continued: "That Meng Zhuangyuan boasts that he is the most wise person in the past and present, what do you say about Qimen Dunjia, the art of war is all excellent, in fact, his qualifications are mediocre, and his martial arts are even more common, but this person has a nerdy spirit, and his temperament is very stubborn, and he has to say why he encounters anything, otherwise he will never give up." And Qiu Saisai's nickname is 'Sai Xi Shi', and he is most proud of his beauty. She is the most capable of the four generals. ”
Ye Suiyun thought hard for a long time after listening to this, and was worried that he couldn't use force, and what way could he make these two people not travel with Cao Gaisi on time, could it be that he would persuade them to help him, wouldn't it be a fantasy?
Gong Qing said: "In the past, no matter who was the guard, the four generals would wait on the dock in advance, as long as they couldn't arrive on time, Cao Gaisi would definitely leave first." Ye Suiyun said smoothly: "Unless they oversleep... Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around to look for a few flower pots beside him, and sure enough, he saw a small pinch of fluorescent gray powder on the flower soil of one of the pots, which was the 'Tianxing powder' that Tang Xiao poured before.
Ye Suiyun was overjoyed, carefully collected the medicinal powder again, and saw that it had been mixed with a lot of soil, and secretly thought that it was not for himself anyway, and it didn't matter if it was dirty or not.
Gong Qing stepped forward and said strangely, "What is this?" ”
Ye Suiyun said: "It's a long story, but Miss Tang said that if these powders are eaten by people, they can cause this person to fall asleep for a day and night, as if he was drunk." Gong Qingxi said: "This is really whatever you want." ”
Ye Suiyun was also very excited, and said: "I'll go and prepare two pots of wine, and keep the two of them sleeping until the third day before waking up." Gong Qingyi stretched out his hand to stop and said, "There is another important matter that needs to be reminded of you." Ye Suiyun looked at her with a rather solemn expression and asked, "What is it?" ”
Gong Qing said: "Cao Gaisi's nickname is 'Black Yama King', and his martial arts are strong, if you fail to capture him and he escapes back to White Emperor City, then the Yuwen clan will definitely be shocked that not only you and Miss Tang will be in danger at that time, but even Huanghua, Luwu and others, and even me and my brother will be in danger." Although Tang Xiao swore before, after all, Gong Qing had never seen Ye Suiyun's martial arts with her own eyes, but she was very clear about Cao Gaisi's methods, coupled with Ye Suiyun's age, it was inevitable that she would be a little lacking in confidence.
Ye Suiyun understood her worries, smiled, and threw her right palm in the air, Gong Qing only felt a strong force sending herself into the air, and she couldn't help screaming in fright. She is dignified and has never lost her temper like this, but she is already above the roof, and the majestic whole picture of the entire White Emperor City can be seen at a glance. But in an instant, it fell vertically and descended. Gong Qing let out a long scream again, and just when the thought of falling to death flashed through her mind, she realized that her feet had firmly stood back in place. I only heard Ye Suiyun say: "Don't worry." And there was no shadow.
Tang Xiao and Jia Luwu were also summoned by the shouting she had just made at this time and asked what was going on. Gong Qing was stunned, just looking at the two of them speechless, she felt her chest pounding, and she recalled the exciting feeling just now in her mind, which seemed to be a little fun.
Back in the apse, seeing that it was almost time for dinner, the people in the kitchen were busy preparing inside and out, Ye Suiyun ran to the warehouse in the backyard, picked up a basket of grapes and left, but was seen by Gong Dafei and shouted: "Jia Er, come and help, where are you going to run." ”
Ye Suiyun pretended to be helpless and said, "No, Commander, I still have to send grapes to the two deputy lords." Gong Dafei saw the big basket he was holding, and said curiously: "Why do you want so much?" Ye Suiyun replied as he walked out: "Today's guests love to eat grapes. He grabbed Jia Huanghua, who was chopping vegetables, and walked out of the kitchen. Gong Dafei looked puzzled, touched his bald head, and muttered in his mouth that he was going to cook again.
Coming to no man's land, Jia Huanghua asked, "Didn't you go to send it to the fire master?" Ye Suiyun glanced at the grapes in his arms and said, "Of course not." Let's not talk about this for a while, I need to go to Gushan Ji again tomorrow morning, and you can help me find a way to get a seal for customs clearance. ”
Jia Huanghua was surprised: "What are you going to do?" Do you think this is a place where you can walk if you want? ”
Ye Suiyun said: "I have persuaded Gong Qing to help save people together, the first step at present is to get rid of Cao Gaisi, the best chance is that he will go to Gushanji tomorrow, and I will do it there." ”
Huang Hua's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, this bad embryo should have retribution a long time ago." ”
Ye Suiyun said: "Therefore, I must have a certificate for customs clearance, otherwise I won't be able to get out." Huang Hua bit her lip and thought for a while, and said, "Okay, I'll figure it out." ”
Ye Suiyun saw that she was still holding the kitchen knife in her hand that she didn't have time to put down just now, and said, "Lend me the knife, and bring two pots of wine." Huang Hua hurriedly went into the kitchen to fill the two wine jugs, sealed the ** to Ye Suiyun, and asked, "Who is this for?" ”
Ye Suiyun said: "Meng Zhuangyuan and Qiu Saisai." Huanghua, it's up to you whether you can succeed this time. After speaking, without waiting for Huang Hua to react, he had already held the grape basket in one hand, and went straight to Gong Qing's mansion with wine and a knife in the other. When he arrived at the ground, he handed the grapes to Tang Xiao and asked, "What do you want these grapes for?" Tang Xiao picked up a grape, carefully cut the skin with a kitchen knife, took out the whole grape flesh inside, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then stretched out his hand to feed the grape to Ye Suiyun's mouth.
Ye Suiyun felt that the sweetness and sour taste in his mouth was refreshing, and he said: "The taste is really good, you can have one too." Tang Xiao sneered and said, "Brother Ye family, there is a big basket here, enough for you to eat." Ye Suiyun asked, "What do you want these things for?" ”
Tang smiled: "Practice." You must know that to heal Xiaomengzi, you have to cut his head with a knife, which is very dangerous, so you must have roots in your hands, hold it accurately, and never make the slightest mistake. Ye Suiyun suddenly brightened up and said, "Therefore, you use the method of cutting grape skins to practice the feeling in your hands." ”
Tang Xiao nodded and said, "In the end, not only must the grape skin be cut just right, but the grape flesh inside must not be damaged in the slightest, then it will be done." ”
Ye Suiyun said in surprise: "It's funny, how did you come up with such a wonderful method?" It's amazing. ”
Tang smiled so much that Ye Suiyun praised him, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, tilted his head and pretended to think: "Maybe the little girl just has some talent." Both laughed.
Tang Xiao said again: "I tried it just now, although this kitchen knife is good, it is still not fast enough, and a sharper knife is needed." ”
Ye Suiyun thought about it, and didn't know what to do, but there were more troublesome things at the moment, so he said: "You practice first, and then I will find a way to solve Cao Gaisi." Tang Xiao knew that it had no choice but to do so.
After leaving the governor's mansion, it was getting dark. In the past few days in the White Emperor City, Ye Suiyun had already been familiar with the routes everywhere, and he came to Qiu Saisai's residence after a while with wine, but saw that it was pitch black inside, and no one seemed to be there. Ye Suiyun thought that she might have gone to the apse to eat, so she would wait for a while. He opened the lids of the two flasks, took out the prepared celestial powder, and gently shook it towards it.
Suddenly, someone behind him said, "What are you doing sneakily here?" "Listening to the voice is Qiu Saisai. Ye Suiyun was already nervous when he poured medicine into the wine, and when he heard a question without warning, he shook his hand and sprinkled all the medicine powder into it. He secretly screamed that the other pot hadn't been drugged yet. When this situation was too late to think about it, he turned around and said, "I,,I,,I,," I was nervous and forgot what I had thought about before.
Qiu Saisai also recognized Ye Suiyun at this time, and said, "Why are you?" What are you doing here? Seeing that he was holding two pots of wine in his hands, his face was flushed, and he suddenly understood something, and he couldn't stop laughing, put his hands on Ye Suiyun's shoulders, and said: "I didn't expect you to look honest, but it turned out that you were also an amorous embryo." ”
Ye Suiyun sighed, I don't know why she said this. Qiu Saisai said angrily: "The slave family has long known that you have affection for me, to be honest, is it that you can't forget it the first time you see me?" As they spoke, the tips of their noses almost touched.
Ye Suiyun had never encountered such a situation, instinctively his whole body was tense, his ears were hot, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all, but he didn't dare to push her away, otherwise he was afraid that things would not be done. His helpless appearance made Qiu Saisai more convinced of his thoughts, and he only chuckled: "I'm used to seeing those five big and three rough men, you really have an appetite for slaves like this." Pulling Ye Suiyun's collar, he said, "Come on." ”
Ye Suiyunqi said: "Where to go?" ”
Qiu Saisai glanced at him and said, "You came to my door in the middle of the night with two jugs of wine, who doesn't know what you want to do?" Ye Suiyun was puzzled, and said in his heart: "Could it be that she knows my plan, but it doesn't look like it." But he said no more, and went into the house.
Qiu Saisai lit the lamp, and the whole room suddenly lit up, and said, "Actually, Childe doesn't have to bring any wine, as long as your people come next time, it's enough,"
Ye Suiyun was completely confused, couldn't understand the meaning of her words, and thought, "How can you eat Tianxing powder without wine?" If it weren't for the fact that it was not for the sake of stopping you from following Cao Gaisi, the ghost would have come, and there would be a next time. Said respectfully: "The apse bought a lot of good wine this time, so the big fat commander ordered to give every general a taste, as the saying goes, good wine with beauty, naturally the first to send it to Commander Qiu." After a while of calmness, Ye Suiyun finally remembered the words he had prepared earlier. He remembered that Gong Qing had said that Qiu Saisai had always been conceited about his appearance, so he thought about it for a long time on the road before he came up with such a flattering sentence in order to win the trust of the other party.
How do you know that Qiu Saisai rolled his eyes obliquely, and said with a smile: "Look at how long you kid can pretend, a big man, and still make excuses like this." ”
At this moment, Ye Suiyun decided that Qiu Saisai's head might be a little problematic, otherwise why didn't he understand what she said at all, no matter what, he really didn't want to waste any more time, and asked: "The commander has a wine glass, so pour a glass and taste it." "I accidentally poured all the Tianxing powder into a pot just now, but I can't leave it all to Qiu Saisai, otherwise what will Meng Zhuangyuan do.
Qiu Saisai approached and said with a smile: "You bad boy, do you want to get me drunk?" He stretched out his hand and picked up the wine, and said, "Isn't it too uninteresting to drink slowly with a glass." With that, he tilted his head and drank into the flask.
Ye Suiyun hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, you drink slowly, keep some, keep some." ”
Qiu Saisai wiped the corners of his mouth lightly, and said with a sullen face: "Don't you still have a pot?" How can you be so petty. After speaking, he picked up the pot and poured a few sips, and immediately drank a little bit of the wine inside. Ye Suiyun looked at it in his eyes, thought about it, and sat on the chair.
Qiu Saisai saw that his face was gloomy, thinking that he was reluctant to drink, and said flatly: "If a man is too stingy and picks the door, there will be no girl who likes it." This good mood has been ruined by you, which really disappoints the slave family. ”
Ye Suiyun didn't know what mood he had ruined, but Qiu Saisai ruined his plan for sure. Qiu Saisai's cheeks were red, and he was already a little drunk, so he came over, sat on Ye Suiyun's lap, stretched out his finger and pointed at his nose and said, "For the sake of the wine you sent, the slave family will teach you a trick, and you can please the girl." ”
Ye Suiyun was looking down and thinking about what to do in the future, but when she said this, she couldn't help asking, "What move?" But he found that after Qiu Saisai said this, he had fallen asleep on his shoulder, thinking that the Tianxing powder was mixed with wine, and the medicinal effect had already worked.
Ye Suiyun shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, thinking: "I just talked nonsense when I should sleep, but I fell asleep when I should speak, and you grasped the timing just right." It was useless to think too much, so he put Qiu Saisai on the bed, blew out the light and walked out of the house, very worried. If there is no more powder today, how to deal with Meng Zhuangyuan.
Ye Suiyun suddenly had a strange feeling, and saw a person standing in front of him from afar, and it seemed that he had been waiting there for a long time. The man spoke, "You have finally come out, I don't want to disturb you, I have been waiting here for a long time." Ye Suiyun saw clearly that the person who spoke was the mysterious person who came here with Yang Guozhong.
