Chapter Seventy-Two: Getting to Know Wang Sheng
The matter of the immortal ointment was dealt with faster than expected, that is, on the day Nian Ruipeng was released from prison, Zhou Yan had already settled everything.
Before leaving, Lin Xing and Zhao Jie went to look at Zhao Zhong, he was lying on the dry thatch with a depressed face, seeing Lin Xing and Zhao Jie coming, a light rose from the bottom of his eyes, but after a while, it was a little dim.
"Madam, young master." Zhao Zhong knelt on the ground and kowtowed his head firmly, "It's the old slave who can't stand you." ”
"What's the use of saying that?" Lin Xing asked him rhetorically, "You have already done the thing, you can also tell me if you have any troubles, but you are biased, it is useless to talk more, for the sake of your past twenty years in the Zhao family, we will let you out, and we will have nothing to do with it in the future." ”
Zhao Jie didn't know what to say to Zhao Zhong, he used to get along with Zhao Zhong day and night, and the other party was the person he trusted the most, but ......
Zhao Jie was full of disappointment, only glanced at Zhao Zhong, and was about to turn around and leave.
However, at this moment, Zhao Zhong suddenly stopped the two: "Madam, young master, I don't want to be released from prison." ”
Lin Xing's footsteps paused, but she never looked back.
Don't use suspicious people, don't suspect people.
Since Zhao Zhong and the Zhao family had two hearts, the past time was the most useless constraint.
After returning to Nanluoguxiang, Chunxiao came to report: "Zhongbo came out of prison, he did not receive the subsidy issued by the prefect, and left with his grandson. ”
Lin Xing nodded, but did not answer, there was a noisy sound in the courtyard, Zhao Jie bounced up from the chair, walked towards the door, and Lin Xing also followed to take a look.
Sure enough, it was Nian Ruipeng who was taken over, the wounds on his body were not yet complete, wrapped in several layers of bandaged gauze, and the moment he saw Ruan Hongsleeve, his body was stiff and his tone was not good.
"Why are you here too? It's not like Nian's house, I ......."
Before the words fell, seeing Lin Xing and Zhao Jie coming out, Nian Ruipeng struggled to kneel on the ground and said: "Thank you, madam, the young master is willing to take me in for the time being, presumably the red sleeves have also caused a lot of trouble for Mrs., Nian Ruipeng is here to compensate Mrs. ”
In less than a month, Nian Ruipeng's name for Zhao Jie has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Zhao Jie's heart was mixed, and he had no intention of mocking Nian Ruipeng at all.
After being silent for a moment, Zhao Jie still said as in the past: "Nian Ruipeng, what kind of slippery head are you kidding, you are crepe, you want my mother to train me with this etiquette, don't you?" Don't hurry up yet. ”
"Red Sleeves is a girl I hired to open an embroidery workshop in the capital, how can she get into trouble for me? In the future, when you enter the capital, enter the army, and have an establishment, we will call you a soldier when we trouble you, and will we also kneel at that time? Lin Xing asked him rhetorically.
Seeing that Nian Ruipeng shook his head, Lin Xing said, "In the future, Red Sleeves will be my person, since you are with Red Sleeves, you must not see outside." ”
Lin Xing couldn't help but tie Ruan Hongsleeve to Nian Ruipeng, and Nian Ruipeng, who was forced to do so, couldn't refuse.
What's more, Nian Ruipeng is not blind, he looked at Ruan Hong's red and swollen eyes, naturally he knew her worries these days, Nian Ruipeng was silent for a moment, and then bowed down: "Yes." ”
Just a few people from Ruipeng stepped into the house, and the Zhou banquet also came.
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Lin Xing wanted to pour him a cup of hot tea, but before she could make a move, there was a sudden heat on her wrist, and it was Zhou Yan who pressed it on it, and said, "Things have changed, we have to leave tonight." ”
In such a hurry?
Lin Xing wanted to ask something, but he could see Zhou Yan's expression, knowing that he didn't want to speak, he had to silence and simply put away his things.
The residual poison in Lin Guo'er's body was not cleared, so she could only leave with Lin Xing.
Lin Xing gave the key to Nanluoguxiang to the Zou family, only saying that if the Zou family was uncomfortable living in the Lin Mansion in the future, he could go to Nanluoguxiang.
Several people left at noon and divided into two roads at Shili Pavilion.
Zhang Ping walked from the road with a sedan chair loaded with stones, and Shuo Feng went straight to the main road with a few people.
The road was smooth, but because of Zhou Yan's identity, several people couldn't sit back and relax, Zhao Jie quietly opened a layer of window curtains and looked outside, Lin Xing sat beside him, the breeze blew up a few strands of her broken hair, which seemed to make that cold face a little more tender.
Zhou Yan's eyes fell on Lin Xing's face silently, but Lin Xing suddenly moved forward, so shocked that he felt numb, and couldn't help but sit up straight.
"Why is there a bamboo around here?"
Lin Xing approached Zhao Jie, she leaned in front of the window curtain, and unconsciously got a little closer to Zhao Jie.
"I'll see." Zhou Yan cleared his throat and squeezed over, he patted Zhao Jie's shoulder as if unintentionally, Zhao Jie stood up, and he sat down.
Zhao Jie: ......
In order to prevent the Assassins, the soil along the road was always soft and yellow, making it impossible to grow any crops.
Now the soil is firm and black, and the bamboo grows vigorously, and can even hide a few people.
Zhou Yan frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Shuofeng." ”
Shuofeng took the order, he pinched his fingertips lightly, put it to his lips, the whistle sounded, and several boomerangs slammed across both sides of the road, and everywhere he went, the bamboos were cut in half.
It was also at this time, only twenty feet away in front of him, that the bamboo squirmed, and soon, a group of killers of more than 20 people was forced to appear.
The purpose of the comer was clear and well-trained, but in the blink of an eye, he had already set up a formation and approached Zhou Yan's carriage.
There were also many caravans that entered Beijing, and when they saw the group of people and horses rushing towards Zhou Yan's carriage, they were just ordinary bandits, and they ordered the darts to raise their knives together.
Therefore, although most of Zhou Yan's men and horses were divided by Zhang Ping, they did not have the upper hand.
Zhou Yan's eyebrows were slightly cold, he jumped up from the carriage, used the folding fan as a blade, and operated light skills, and swept through the crowd in the blink of an eye, wailing everywhere. He alone was enough to destroy dozens of people.
Zhao Jie followed behind him, sitting on his horse and bending his bow and arrows, but before he could shoot an arrow, the killer in front of him had been completely pacified by Zhou Yan.
He opened his mouth wide in surprise, and suddenly threw himself to the ground, and even the dart master Wang Sheng opened his eyes wide, and rushed over: "Official, I didn't expect you to have such a ability!" ”
Zhou Yan's folding fan was already stained with blood, he swept over the corpses one by one, his eyes were gloomy, he threw the folding fan away, and when he turned his back, he had already returned to his light and breezy appearance.
He said, "It's just the work of a three-legged cat." ”
"I just saw that those people came for the officials, but the officials were not chaotic in the face of danger, and they could still fight against ten, they were really gods." Wang Sheng boasted.
Ordinary people saw his skills, but only flattered a few words.
However, Wang Sheng was in hot pursuit, not to mention that there was a caravan on his side.
Zhou Yan wanted to leave, but suddenly stood still, looking Wang Sheng up and down.
He was five big and three thick, with dark skin, several scars on his body and face, and some freshly crusted wounds on his arms, which made him look like an outlaw.
