Chapter 250: Sheng Jing (2)
An ordinary two-wheeled carriage with a shed, four horses, and eight people went on the road lightly.
Zheng Quqi had already agreed with Wei Yao and them to meet in Shuilu Town, which was about five miles away from Shengjing, and then they would enter Beijing together after everyone had gathered.
Since Yuan Xingzhou's injuries had not yet healed, Zheng Quqi didn't dare to rush too hard, after all, the carriage rented from Fuxian County ran like a rocking car, in order to make his butt feel better, he basically moved forward at a constant speed.
Sometimes she got bored sitting inside, and would run out to ride the same horse as Blue Moon, although it slowed down with the speed of the carriage, but at least the air and environment outside were much better than in the enclosed space.
On the way, if you happen to meet a village, you will go to borrow a homestay for a night, if you pass through the town to stay in a hostel, of course, it is more comfortable, but more often they are green and yellow, not in front of the store and not in the village, temples, Taoist temples or caves are good choices.
But there will also be times when there is no shelter, at this time you can only camp in situ, fortunately, Wei Yao is very powerful, and she usually organizes the luggage such as bedding, pillows, fire folds, washing and other utensils are usually stored properly.
This night he had to sleep in the wilderness, Zheng Quqi returned to the carriage and planned to move out of the futon to lay outside, but was stopped by Yuan Xingzhou.
He's seeing something wrong these days, too.
"You didn't tell that person about me?"
During the day, he had always pretended to be deep and did not smile, but now that there were only the two of them left in the carriage, Yuan Xingzhou's expression was a little different.
Zheng Quqi glanced at him a few times and said, "Well, for the time being, it's better to have more than one thing, and when we get to Shengjing, it's not too late."
Yuan Xingzhou turned his head, relaxed his body and leaned on the carriage, he glanced outside: "Are they your eldest brother and younger sister?"
He accentuated the word "pro", which made Zheng Quqi a little strange.
"yes, isn't it?"
She feels that she is quite similar to Sister Sang's face and mouth, and her eyes are similar to Brother Sang, and the three brothers and sisters are all seed players with high-quality appearances as a whole, but their lives are not good, one has been harsh and tortured since childhood, resulting in a weak physique, one person is lame with one leg and one leg, and the other is stupid.
Yuan Xingzhou didn't answer her question, and after confirming that they were biological brothers and sisters, he asked, "What did you take them to Shengjing for?"
Shengjing at this time can be described as an eventful season, with all kinds of cows, ghosts, gods and snakes infested, and he doesn't believe that she doesn't know.
Zheng Quqi saw that he seemed to be going to have a long talk, anyway, it was still early, and she couldn't sleep for a while, so she simply sat down and chatted with him: "Give my brother and little sister a doctor."
The poisoning of my sister is not good for the outside world, her clear eyes are slightly drooping, and her round little face is quite hidden.
The problem of her eldest brother's leg, Yuan Xingzhou saw it at a glance, and it was just a chronic illness, but what her demented little sister wanted to see should not be her brain.
"But she's not sick." He said suddenly.
Not sick?
Zheng Quqi raised his eyes, his expression pretending to be confused: "Who do you say is not sick?"
His eyes were as bright as cold stars, and he broke through the words: "Your little sister."
「…… Do you know something?" The silliness on her face faded at once.
Seeing her like this, Yuan Xingzhou pursed his thin lips, he hooked his finger at her, and when she leaned over her eyebrows, he was next to her ear, as if handing over a secret, and whispered: "Zheng Quqi, she has been hit by Gu, once the person who has fallen under Gu wants to kill her, she will have no way to live."
Boom!
Zheng Quqi's heart seemed to sink into a bottomless ice lake for a moment.
Although he was shocked by his words, Zheng Quqi still said calmly, "Gu? Do you think I'll believe me if you say it?"
"Wasn't your little sister stupid when she was a child? But one day people suddenly become more and more stupid, and lately, people seem to be smarter?"
She didn't know what was going on, but what was going on next...... She did feel that way lately.
"She had an illness when she was young, and it was a stupid ...... to burn."
Yuan Xingzhou intercepted her hesitant words and said
"You don't believe me, but you should also suspect that she is not simply burned stupid, otherwise you will not take her to Shengjing at this time, when she is more normal, it means that her condition is worse, and when she completely recovers one day, then her life should come to an end."
Zheng Quqi's hand grabbed the placket of his clothes and pulled the person closer: "Yuan Xingzhou, you'd better not lie to me."
Yuan Xingzhou looked at her, she was actually not very old, but she had learned early to hold up a protective umbrella for her family, wanted to shelter them from the wind and rain, and wanted to bear all the harm and hardships for them.
"I don't lie to you." He replied.
Zheng Quqi gritted her teeth and let go of him, and after a long time, she exhaled a breath of turbidity, straightened her body, and looked straight into Yuan Xingzhou's eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm too excited, since Your Highness can see it, can this Gu have a cure?"
She couldn't help but have some anxiety in her eyes, she had always thought that Xiaomei was just suffering from chronic poison, but if it was this kind of treacherous and incomprehensible Gu ...... Ordinary people probably haven't heard of it, so what should she do to save her sister?
Yuan Xingzhou said expressionlessly, "This hall will not be governed."
No...... These two words disappointed the hopes and expectations in Zheng Quqi's eyes.
"You can't heal, so how do you see it?"
"I have my own way of identification, but I can see that it doesn't necessarily cure, just like people who can eat are not necessarily cooks."
There was nothing wrong with his words.
If this Gu was ordered by someone from the Mo family, then it had to be someone from the Mo family to understand it?
If yes.
Well, she will definitely go to them.
Yuan Xingzhou saw her expression condensed, and said, "But this palace knows that there is a special thing in the palace that specializes in Gu control, and it is now in the queen's bedroom, if you want to save your little sister, you only need to get that thing."
Succession to the Queen......
Zheng Quqi suddenly woke up, she remembered Yuan Xingzhou's thoughts of returning to Shengjing for revenge, and this matter also involved the step-queen...... Thinking about it again, it is unknown whether he suddenly talked to her about this matter, whether he was a kind reminder, or whether he had ulterior motives to take advantage of her.
After experiencing the Xing'an incident, she has also grown, she will not see mountains as mountains, she must always learn to see the essence through the surface.
"How do I know if what you're saying is true or false?"
Yuan Xingzhou didn't care and said, "This matter is not a secret, you can ask your people, Shenmu Meng, is it a kind of divine object that specializes in restraining all kinds of Gu poisons? If they don't understand, you can go to Shengjing and ask someone."
Hearing him say that, it didn't seem like he was fooling her with something casually.
She muttered, "Step-queen...... What is kept in her dormitory must be worth a lot, how can I get it?"
Isn't this a deliberate hard thing to put in front of her?
Yuan Xingzhou approached her and said bewilderingly, "Cooperate with this hall, I will let you get your wish."
Zheng Quqi: "......"
Your Royal Highness, your fox tail is finally revealed.
She ignored his words and asked, "How long can my little sister last?"
Seeing Zheng Quqi's attitude, Yuan Xingzhou also picked up Qiao, his expression was cold, and his slanted eyes were like moonlight in the water, revealing coolness: "You are your subordinates in the main hall, and you will answer any questions you have?"
That's what he said, Zheng Quqi immediately reflected on himself, no matter what, he had to stabilize people first.
She wiped her face, and her expression was sincere and cautious: "This matter is very important, Your Highness allows me to think about it first."
——
As soon as she got out of the carriage, Zheng Quqi put the futon on the dry flat ground, and she looked in the direction of Brother Sang, who was sitting by the fire with Sister Sang, and the four people of the exterminating group had never been with them, but were on guard and defense in the dark.
She walked over and picked up her sister and put her on her lap, she was drowsy at this time, and her little head was crooked.
Feeling that she was being picked up, Sang Yimei turned her head to look at Zheng Quqi, and muttered, "...... Two
Sister, my sister really wants to sleep."
Zheng Quqi touched her smooth little face: "Okay, my sister will sleep first, and the second sister will hold you."
She buried her head in Zheng Quqi's arms: "Second sister Xiangxiang......
After Zheng Quqi put his little sister to sleep, he looked at Brother Sang, she didn't go around in circles with him, and said directly, "Brother, I already know."
Brother Sang was stunned for a while, and after a while, he sighed: "I also guessed, otherwise, you wouldn't have taken me and my sister to Shengjing, but it's useless, ordinary doctors and doctors can't cure it at all."
It's not that he hasn't taken Sister Sang to seek medical treatment, but every time it is in vain, they can't see any problems at all.
Zheng Quqi lowered his eyes and stared at his sister's red and fluttering little face, so pink and healthy: "This is Gu, how can ordinary people be cured? But I've inquired, and there is something to save my sister in the Ye Palace."
Brother Sang was taken aback: "Ye Wanggong? How can ordinary people like us get the things of that kind of place?!"
He didn't know that Zheng Quqi was no longer an "ordinary person" now, but Zheng Quqi didn't explain this matter, because she had to spend a lot of effort to explain that she had become a widow and a widow since she got married, and she had to be responsible for supporting the tens of thousands of people left by her late husband.
Most importantly, she didn't want him to worry about her condition, nor did she want him to be sad about her future life.
Without a husband in this era, it is equivalent to losing the security of life in the future, maybe he will let her marry again and inherit the old Zheng family.
"You're willing to come with me because my sister's time is running out, right?"
Brother Sang was dumbfounded for a while: "......"
"The Mo family deliberately tricked my younger sister, it must be for some purpose, the eldest brother knows something, but can't he tell me?" She was a little resentful.
Brother Sang turned his face away, didn't look at her, and said in a stiff tone, "Ruler, you don't have to worry about these things."
Even now he still refuses to tell her, either he is sure that she can't solve this matter, or it is ...... This matter has a lot to do with her.
Zheng Quchi knew that if it was really related to her, Brother Sang would not compromise even if he was killed.
But......
Zheng Quqi said solemnly as if he had sworn an oath: "Big brother, I will definitely not give up my sister, now that there is a way, no matter how difficult the road is, I will rise to the difficulties."
"Ruler!" Brother Sang exclaimed.
Could it be that she really wants to rob King Ye's palace?!
——
The next day, Zheng Quqi carefully observed the younger sister's expression and behavior, and found that she was indeed a little smarter than before.
In the past, she had slow language development, simple words, and sometimes even couldn't control her joys and sorrows, but now, if you don't look closely, you will find that she is similar to a normal seven- or eight-year-old child.
But once she speaks, she can still see that her brain and language can't keep up with others, and once she asks urgently, she will stutter and stutter.
Since knowing Sang Qimei's situation, Zheng Quqi no longer faked her to others, but took her with him personally, so that he could know all the changes in her situation at any time.
After almost half a month, they finally came to the water and land town safely, not far away is a clear ocean, dense water and grass, boats are moored on the wharf, people come and go, and it is very lively.
Zheng Quqi went out this time, it was on the road bumpy for more than ten days, in those small places, wild, deserted, broken temples and caves, she had no space at all and no heart to wash herself thoroughly, this way, she really felt that her whole person was rancid.
But before going to Shengjing from Shuilu Town, she must take a good and comfortable bath from head to toe, and then take a good sleep to make up for sleep.
People are really social animals, and after living in isolation for a while, they feel very friendly when they see a place like a city with a lot of fireworks.
"Let's go find an inn in the town first, and then wait for Brother Wei and them to come."
Horseback riding is not allowed in the town, so Zheng Quqi got out of the carriage and led it
The horse walked on foot, Brother Sang's legs and feet were inconvenient, so he stayed in the carriage with Sang Sister and Yuan Xingzhou, Lan Yue entered the town to explore the road first, and Wu Liang, Sixi and the empty officials were around the carriage, leading the horses to follow.
Walking on the street, they didn't have time to appreciate the cultural customs and urban appearance of this water and land town, but they saw that the bulletin board very close to the city gate was full of people, and they were discussing loudly and fiercely.
She was curious about what "news" these people were watching when she heard someone shout loudly, "The news has been released from the Julu Country, and they have found the body of General Yuwen!"
Zheng Quqi was suddenly shocked, and all the expressions on his face froze.
She let go of her horse and hurriedly rushed forward, only to hear another person say in a panic, "General Yuwen is really dead?!" Didn't say missing before, this ...... Won't our Ye Kingdom change the sky in the future?"
"I heard that General Yuwen is trying to steal the military layout of the Julu Country, and this is why something happened at the border pass, but who can say for sure about this, this time the Julu Country is afraid that it is not going to come to a death without proof!"
"How do they want to slander and frame, we can only eat this dumb loss?"
"They killed our general, are they justified?"
The crowd was indignant and angry.
There are also people who are more sensible, but they are also full of powerlessness and disappointment: "This matter still depends on the evidence, the people of their Julu Country said that the general intended to carry out the invasion plan, broke the alliance of the Seven Kingdoms, and took the lead in doing something harmful to the Julu Country, so they counterattacked and hunted down, the most important thing is, how dare our King Ye have the courage to ask the Julu Country to blame? If he doesn't apologize to them, it would be good if he ceded the land and compensated them."
