Chapter 35: Cheng Ying
Suddenly, there was a faint movement in the reeds on the shore of the lake in front of him, if it weren't for Yun Ze's nervousness, I was afraid that he wouldn't have been able to find out the situation over there.
He sneaked over and pushed aside the reeds to see a man in black lying in it, the reeds hiding his form.
It's hard to spot even in the daytime, but this person is smart.
Yun Ze saw an arrow stuck in the other party's right shoulder at this time. The man remained motionless and seemed to have fainted.
Yun Ze carefully pulled the man in black to the shore, looked at the arrow stuck in the other party's shoulder, and stretched out his hand to pull out the feather arrow.
As soon as his hand touched the feathered arrow, his neck was grabbed by a hand. A cold, crisp voice rang in his ears.
"What do you want to do......"
The hand on the neck was cold, and the grip was tight, but he couldn't feel the killing intent.
"I just wanted to help you ......"
Yun Ze looked at the man in black who was struggling to sit up.
The other party was alert, and when he just pulled this person up, she woke up in fear. Maybe it was because she didn't find the official army, so she didn't kill Yun Ze.
However, even if she wanted to be unfavorable to Yun Ze, Yun Ze had a hundred ways to break free from the other party's hands.
Hearing Yun Ze's words, the man in black looked around, saw that there were no officials and soldiers, and let go of the hand that grabbed Yun Ze's neck.
At the same time, her whole body went weak and fell down again, and Yun Ze hurriedly held her up.
Although the other party still had a face towel covering her face, from her voice and body shape, Yun Ze knew that she was a woman.
It's just that the other party has already fainted.
She had a wound on her back, and swimming to this side was extremely physically demanding. To be able to climb to the shore alive, without extreme perseverance, I am afraid that it will not be possible.
Yun Ze admired her perseverance a little.
The arrow wound on the woman's right shoulder was inspected, and the arrow was less than an inch deep, and the barb on it was hooked to the flesh, and the wound was bleeding.
Yun Ze hurriedly lit the fire fold, burned the dagger, slowly penetrated the dagger into the arrow wound, and lightly picked it out.
Not only did she pick arrows to stop the bleeding, but the woman was afraid that she would die of excessive blood loss.
The woman woke up in pain instantly, looking at Yun Ze with wide eyes, she opened her mouth to speak, and the strong feeling of weakness made her faint again.
Yun Ze hurriedly pressed the acupoint to stop the bleeding, and the position of the woman's arrow wound was a little awkward.
Yun Ze could only tear off the corners of the woman's clothes and hastily bandage her wounds.
Looking left and right, he cleaned up the marks on the ground, threw the feather arrow into the water, and carried the woman back to rush back.
If the woman's wound is not cleaned, there is a great possibility of infection. Save people and save them to the end!
When I got home, it was almost midnight. The loom was ringing. Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi looked at the door from time to time. With worry in his eyes.
Yun Ze shook his head lovingly, these two little girls said that they should go to bed early, but they were still waiting for Yun Ze.
Glancing left and right, taking advantage of the darkness of no one, Yun Ze carried the woman into the courtyard on his back, Luo Yunniang and Luo Yunxi looked overjoyed, and just wanted to speak.
Yun Ze put his hand to his lips and shrugged softly. The two girls understood and hurriedly shut up. They looked behind them and closed the door.
The main room here is connected to the side room, and when the door of the main room is closed, you can't see the outside. The people inside won't find out that Yun Ze has brought people back.
They didn't dare to sneak attack now, they were all focused so hard that no one noticed that Yun Ze brought people back.
Yun Ze carried the woman into the side room on the other side, put the other party on his bed, and he hurriedly said to the two sisters who followed:
"Don't make a noise, don't let others know about her existence, you go and boil some water, bring the gold creation medicine you bought before, and help her treat her wounds."
The other party is a woman, and he is really not good at making a move, so he can only hand over this matter to Sister Luo Yunniang. The two girls had also helped the dog change the medicine before, and Yun Ze was relieved to leave the matter to them.
Yun Ze went out to the main room and the side room next door to take a look, the female workers were working, and when they saw Yun Ze coming, they didn't notice.
Yun Ze nodded with satisfaction, and closed the door when he came out.
…………
In the official post room of Danyang Mansion, the middle-aged man who was assassinated was sitting on the main seat, and Lu Qing, the prefect of Danyang, stood in front of him.
"Governor Lu, you don't have anything to explain to Ben General about being assassinated?"
He looked at Lu Qing coldly, and his voice revealed a coldness.
Lu Qing fell to his knees, trembling with fright.
He can't afford to offend the people in front of him.
This person's name is Cheng Ying, and he is the commander of the four grades, although his official position is only one level higher than him. But behind the other party is Taiwei Gaoqiu.
If the other party joins him for being stabbed, he, the prefect of Danyang, will not want to do it, and he will be imprisoned.
"General, it's because the lower officials are not strict in governing the government, so that the general is frightened, and the bandits will be arrested......
Lu Qing smiled and respectfully handed over a wooden box.
"General, this is a small gift prepared for you by the lower officer, and please accept it with a smile."
Seeing the wooden box, the coldness on Cheng Ying's face eased a little, and he glanced at the strong man behind him.
The other party took the wooden box and retreated.
Cheng Ying looked at Lu Qing again at this time, and said lightly:
"Governor Lu, the matter of the bandits, you give Ben Jiang an explanation as soon as possible, Ben Jiang is here for the New Year's cloth, the first batch of New Year's cloth will be delivered soon, I don't know how this matter will be done!"
When Lu Qing heard this, he hurriedly said: "The delivery of the New Year's cloth is imminent, and the Ye's cloth guild will deliver it on schedule......
"Well, that's good, you must not leak the matter of Danyang in the future, if the matter of the New Year's cloth is satisfactory to the emperor, you will be promoted and make a fortune. Let's go down......"
Cheng Ying waved his hand at Lu Qing. When Lu Qing heard this, his expression was overjoyed, and he hurriedly saluted respectfully, turned around and walked out.
At this time, the strong man's voice behind Cheng Ying said with a puzzle: "My lord, how did Su Qianmo, the leader of the bandits in Longtou Mountain, know that you came to Danyang, could it be that the plan of the court to suppress the bandits could not be leaked!" ”
"Do you think that the bandits everywhere are those untouchables?" Cheng Ying glanced at the strong man under his hand lightly.
This person is Cheng Ying's confidant, called Cheng Yi, and he is the eldest of his four confidants.
"Could it be ......" Cheng Yi's expression changed slightly. I seem to think of something.
"Although the two kings of Kang and Ming failed in seizing the throne back then, they never gave up their desire to seize the throne, and the reason why His Majesty suppressed the bandits was to break their wings. lest they have any more evil intentions. ”
"Ben Jiang came to Danyang, although he came as an envoy of Sui Bu, but Jingzhong knew that Ben Jiang actually came to suppress bandits. Do you think the two kings won't know about this? ”
Cheng Yi nodded, after all, the second king is the imperial prince, and there are not a few officials in Beijing who collude with them.
Cheng Ying paused and continued:
"They want to preserve their power, the best way, of course, is to let Ben die, Su Qianmo is the knife they borrowed."
"Back then, Ben Jiang had destroyed her all over the house, if she knew that Ben would come to Danyang, she would definitely come to assassinate, why do you think Ben Jiang agreed to Huang Xiong's invitation today."
