Chapter 9 Orchid Lapel (5)
I don't know how long later, there was a sudden "click" outside the window, and the snow crushed a dead branch and broke it.
Bai Yixue's body trembled, came back to her senses, gently put the paper back on the bookcase, and pretended to smile easily: "Sister, do you know who I met last night?"
Shen Lingshan didn't dare to look him in the eyes, only lowered his head, and said, "Who?"
Bai Yixue said happily: "Brother Yang Caoyang." ”
Shen Lingshan sighed secretly in his heart and said, "Oh, I haven't seen Brother Yang for a long time. How's he going?"
Bai Yixue sighed and said, "Dong Xiechuan is as cunning as an old fox, Brother Yang has been looking for him everywhere, and he finally found him yesterday, and the result is ...... As a result, he slipped away again, and really blew up his lungs, and dragged me to a drink. ”
Shen Lingshan said: "Wine is to forget worries, tea is to cleanse troubles, presumably you all drank this wine last night." ”
Bai Yixue said with a smile: "You can laugh a few times in your life, and you must get drunk when you meet in a wine fight." Brother Yang's drinking, where can I accompany him? But last night I sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman, and I am still drowsy, walking with my feet still fluttering. ”
Shen Lingshan went to make a cup of hot tea. Bai Yixue took a sip, put down the teacup, and suddenly laughed out loud. Shen Lingshan glanced at him and said, "Look at you, what's the good thing, don't tell me about it?"
Bai Yixue smiled: "Good thing, great good thing." Sister, Brother Yang and I got married as Jinlan brothers last night. ”
Shen Lingshan exclaimed, "Really?" Bai Yixue smiled and nodded. Shen Lingshan said with a smile: "Gold is easy to get, but it is difficult to find a confidant." Brother Yang is upright and has a bold temperament, and the little sister likes it in her heart. I'm so happy that you can marry Jinlan, and my little sister will set a table of wine for you another day to celebrate together. ”
Bai Yixue smiled: "Then I thanked the girl first." ”
Shen Lingshan smiled and said: "You are my big brother Bai, he is my big brother Yang, now that you have become brothers, little sister, I have to change my words." Well, he's still my big brother Yang, are you...... It's mine...... My ......" At this moment, someone outside the window suddenly smiled and said, "It's your love brother!"
Shen Lingshan was taken aback and asked, "Who?"
The man smiled again: "It's my brother and my sister again, it's so affectionate!" Bai Yixue was stunned for a moment, recognized the person's voice, Huo Di pushed open the window, and saw Mo Lingsha wearing a scarlet veil, standing in the heavy snow, with a graceful demeanor.
He looked at it stupidly for a moment, and was about to open his mouth to ask, when Mo Lingsha hurriedly approached the lotus step, and suddenly turned over and jumped onto the wall. She smiled coquettishly in her mouth, and the laughter gradually faded away, until she finally didn't hear it, and it was already a dark fragrance of laughter.
It was nearly noon, the snow gradually stopped, the sun showed its face, and Shi Zhongmo still did not return. Bai Yixue was uneasy in her heart, and said to Ling Zhaoxu: "I'll go out to meet Mr. Shi." ”
Ling Zhaoxu advised: "Be careful on the road. Bai Yixue walked out of the Shi Mansion and walked in the direction of Enping Palace. He walked slowly along the street, the air was fresh after the snow, and in a moment the feeling of dizziness and swelling was gone.
Passing by an intersection, a thin figure flashed by on the corner of the street, and his heart moved, only to feel that this figure seemed familiar, and his curiosity rose at the moment, and he hurried up. Turning the corner, I saw that the man in front of me was short and thin, apparently a child, walking alone with his head bowed. He was startled, and suddenly remembered someone: "Is it him? I'll follow, and see what the hell he's doing?"
It turned out that the person was none other than the Seven Poisonous Child Beggars who had set up a trick in Langzhou City and almost killed him and Shen Lingshan.
Followed all the way, only to see the seven poisonous beggars turning around, turning into a long alley, deep in the alley there is a big house, the big house is closed, and the door of the house is closed during the day. The Seven Poisonous Boy beggars shrank at the corner of the alley, and after a while, seeing that there was no one around, they jumped up, and they had already climbed the high wall of the mansion, and then jumped into the courtyard. Bai Yixue pondered: "In broad daylight, the Seven Poisonous Child Beggars are so sneaky, and there is absolutely no good thing. I don't know what this big mansion is for?" happened to be an old man walking by, so he pulled over and asked, the old man said, this place is called Chaoming Temple Lane, and the big mansion in the alley is the shepherd supervisor, in charge of the breeding and husbandry of horses, in charge of the good and good horses, procurement training, as well as the treatment of sick horses, the construction of saddle bridles and other things.
Since the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, due to the successive years of Song-Jin wars, the decline and consumption of horses was already very alarming, and the war horses in the Song court army were seriously insufficient. Since the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), since the Song and Jin reached the Shaoxing Peace Conference, the two countries are bounded by Huaishui and Dasanguan, because the horses are suitable for coolness and are mostly produced in the north, the supply of high-quality northwest horses of the Song army is basically cut off, and the Sichuan horses and Qin horses are extremely difficult to transport due to inconvenient transportation, and they are mostly in a state of stagnation.
In the face of the iron hooves of the Jin people, the Song army repeatedly fought unfavorably, and the south did not produce good horses and horses, and could not form a strong cavalry, which was an important reason. The reason why Yue Fei's Yuejia army was able to win successive battles made the Jin people frightened, and the elite cavalry troops under his command carried the Wei army, which can be described as outstanding and indispensable. However, the more than 10,000 horses of the Beiwei army who fought hard and galloped across the field were all captured by Yue Fei's generals Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing, who launched two surprise attacks on Liu Yu's puppet Qi army. After Yue Fei's death, the Song army, which was weakened, was no longer able to capture the war horses through conquest.
"The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, and the affairs of the army, Ma Zheng is the most important. "In the era of cold weapons, horses were not only important military equipment for destroying the front and defeating the enemy, but also an important means of transportation for transporting military rations and straw and ensuring logistics supply. Song and Jin signed the Shaoxing Peace Conference, since the two sides Tao Ge Yanwu, Zhao Gou realized the importance of good horses, vigorously developed horse administration, the court set up a shepherd supervisor, in Raozhou, Lin'an and other places, then set up a breeding horse supervisor, breeding horses, not only for the court horses, but also allocated to the garrisons in various places, in order to change the embarrassment of the serious shortage of horses in the army. However, due to redundant officials and redundant personnel, as well as the habit of greedy ink, most of these breeding horses are inferior, and it is difficult to resist the Jin people's Tiefutu and kidnapping horses.
Bai Yixue inquired and understood, and was secretly surprised in his heart: "The Seven Poisonous Child Beggars quietly sneaked into the pastoral prison, why is that?" He was inconvenient to break into the pastoral prison, pondered for a while, came to the alley, found a teahouse, sat on the seat facing the street, lazily basking in the sun, drinking tea, and waiting patiently.
After a cup of tea, I saw the Seven Poisonous Boy Beggars sneakily walking out of the alley. When he approached, Bai Yixue quietly followed behind him and said with a smile: "Little brother, farewell to Langzhou City, I didn't expect us to meet here again, don't come unharmed." ”
The Seven Poison Child Beggars were taken aback, turned around and saw that it was Baiyi Xue, and became even more terrified, and said, "You...... You ......"
Bai Yixue said with a smile: "Langzhou City, I invite my little brother to eat a warm pot in Taihe Building, you won't forget it, right? The meal is here, my stomach is so hungry that I growl, should the little brother invite me to a meal today? I heard that in Lin'an City, the wine and food in Xichun Building are good, let's go there to have a few drinks and talk about the old feelings together, how about it?"
The Seven Poisonous Child Beggars said coldly: "I'm just afraid that I will invite you to eat, but you don't dare to eat." ”
Bai Yixue pretended to be surprised, and said: "You and I are born once, and we are familiar twice, why don't you dare to have a meal between friends?"
The Seven Poisonous Boy Beggars said: "Last time, your fate was great, but you can't have such good luck every time." ”
Bai Yixue laughed and said, "Little brother still wants to repeat his old trick and poison my food?"
The Seven Poisonous Child Beggars said lightly: "It's a pity that I don't have time to invite you to dinner now." ”
Bai Yixue smiled: "Little brother, this is yours." Come and don't be rude, come, come, come, you and I will go to Xichun Tower. As he spoke, he stepped forward and made a gesture to grab the arm of the Seven Poisonous Beggars.
The Seven Poison Child Beggars took a few steps back, their needle-like eyes began to shrink, and they shouted, "Do you really want to go?"
Bai Yixue laughed and said, "Don't be so stingy, you really want to go!" With that, she reached out with her right arm and grabbed it on the shoulders of the Seven Poisonous Boy Beggars. The Seven Poison Child Beggars stood still, a sneer on their faces. Bai Yixue was stunned when she saw this, and thought: "Could it be that there is poison on your body?" The dark luck was full of real energy, and she smiled and said: "Have a meal among good friends, you are still pushing back, and you are also stingy!" grabbed the shoulders of the seven poisonous beggars again.
The Seven Poisonous Boy Beggars rushed out with stabs, stretched out their right hands, and grabbed a passer-by in their hands, and smiled sadly: "Good friend, I will give you a gift!" With a spit of his palm, he pushed the man towards the white-clothed snow. Bai Yixue was about to reach out to pick it up, and when she glanced at it, she saw that the man's face was pitch black, his eyes were closed, and he was poisoned by the Seven Poisonous Child Beggars in an instant. Seeing him kill innocents so indiscriminately, Bai Yixue couldn't help but be shocked and angry, worried that the person's body was already stained with poison, so she had to avoid it. The passerby fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
This startled the surrounding passers-by screaming and dodging, how fast the Seven Poison Boy beggars were so fast, they reached out and held an old man in their hands, and said with a cruel smile: "You chase after you again, I'll give you another one!"
Bai Yixue saw that there were a lot of passers-by, and he was afraid that he would hurt the innocent again, so he had to stand still and say, "Okay, you go, don't hurt people's lives again." Next time you're free, it's not too late to invite me to dinner. ”
As soon as the right hand of the Seven Poisonous Child Beggars was released, the old man collapsed to the ground weakly. He toed a little, his body had retreated a few feet away, and said with a smile: "I'm a little girl named Hanako who asks for food, where can I have the money to invite you to dinner? The feet did not stop, a few ups and downs, and the figure had disappeared into the crowd.
The white-clothed snow stared at it, the old man's face was distorted, the seven orifices were bleeding, and he had also been poisoned by the poisonous hands of the seven poisonous beggars, and he was so angry that he was about to chase after him, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that after catching up, the seven poisonous beggars would repeat their old tricks, and the safety of Shi Zhongmo was even more worrying, so he had to give up and leave the opportunity to kill this fang in the future. After hesitating for a while, he was unhappy and walked quickly towards the Enping Palace.
After walking for a short time, a yellow-faced and black-bearded old man walked in front of him, which was Shi Zhongmo. The two looked at each other and smiled, and returned to the Shi house side by side. Ling Zhaoxu was stumbling in the hall, he had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Shi Zhongmo returning safely, a large stone in his heart suddenly fell to the ground, and asked, "Mr. Shi, how is the situation?"
Shi Zhongmo smiled slightly and said, "What Jia Yin said is true, Tang Weiguo is very sick, but it's just ...... It's just ......" said with his eyes contemplative, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Ling Zhaoxu said: "Just what?"
Shi Zhongmo muttered: "I don't see that he has any frost and dew disease, but his symptoms, which are quite bothersome, and the old man has never seen it." ”
Ling Zhao smiled and said: "Mr. Shi has seen a lot, what incurable diseases in the world have you not seen? You have never seen them, what kind of strange diseases can it be? Tang Wei is afraid that he has a terminal illness, so he will not drive to the west in the future, right?"
Shi Zhongmo slowly shook his head and said, "That's not it. Tang Wei had fever and night sweats for days, abdominal pain and diarrhea, and three meals a day in the face of delicious food, but the food was unpleasant. The old man checked his pulse, but it was not because of the cold, but because he was too much of a depletion, so that he was sick and sick......
Ling Zhaoxu said: "Oh, this gentleman is greedy for flowers and lust, and he has a habit of breaking his sleeves and splitting peaches, and he will be retributed for this disease." ”
Bai Yixue pondered: "Tang Wei is seriously ill, why don't you go to investigate the situation tonight." He smiled and said, "Master Ling, your old friend is sick, how about we go visit him tonight?"
Ling Zhaoxu's eyes rolled and said, "Okay, old ......" He wanted to say, "The tiger still has time to nap", but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and said: "Lao Tzu has to work hard to see how many breaths he still has left." ”
Shi Zhongmo frowned on the side, pondering, and seemed to be deaf to what the two of them said. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and said, "This strange thing is strange, the old man went to check the medical codex." As he spoke, he got up and walked away quickly. If a person who practices medicine encounters an incurable disease, he is like a person who is greedy for a cup, and he encounters a rare wine in the world, how can he easily let it go? Bai Yixue and Ling Zhaoxu looked at each other and smiled.
After dinner, Bai Yixue and Ling Zhaoxu each meditated in the room and breathed, breathing and breathing. In winter, it got dark early, and just after the hour, the two changed their nocturnal clothes, chose a secluded path, performed light skills, and went to Enping's palace.
The two of them have done excellent work, and they are really outstanding. In the remote alleys of winter nights, there are few pedestrians, and there are occasional passers-by who return at night, only to feel two black shadows in front of them, and then look at the black shadows have long been gone, disappearing in the vast twilight, and I can't help but wonder that I have been dazzled for a while.
Ling Zhaoxu has always been quite conceited about his light skills, previously in the Tangjiabao fish catching conference, he had seen the white-clothed snow furnace light snow stunt, at this time the two of them hurried side by side, there was a heart to try, along the way just run wildly, the body is like an arrow off the string, jumping forward, feet occasionally on the snow, making an extremely subtle rustling sound.
The white-clothed young man had a heart, and when he saw him running up, he also had the idea of competing in his heart, and immediately performed the superior light skill of lighting the snow in the furnace, and chased after Ling Zhao like a galloping wind. He ran like the wind, without making a sound under his feet or stirring up a speck of snow. The two are running together, but they are very different.
However, with a stick of incense, the two walked side by side, almost at the same time under the high walls of the Enping Palace. This competition can be described as equal, evenly matched. The two of them hid in the shadows of the high walls, each admiring each other's light skills. Ling Zhaoxu saw that there was not a trace of mud and snow on the feet of the white-clothed snow, and couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "The snow in the furnace is not visible, Ling admires, admires!"
Bai Yixue smiled and said: "The spirit ape came out of the hole, and it was a thousand miles away, the little brother worshipped, worshipped!" The two looked at each other and smiled. The two of them tried light skills this time, and the distance was short, which can be said to be indistinguishable, but if they competed for a long time, they fought for the durability of endurance, and the white snow internal strength was much deeper than Ling Zhaoxu's, so they should have the last laugh.
Enping Wangfu covers a wide area, the walls are high and the courtyard is deep, and the palace is heavy, fortunately, Ling Zhaoxu has explored many times before, and is quite familiar with the buildings in the palace, tiptoeing and sneaking, leading Bai Yixue to Tang Wai's residence, the window of the wing room is showing a faint yellow light, listen carefully, someone in the house is talking.
The two of them jumped lightly from the ridge of the roof to the ground, and quietly came to the sill wall of the wing room, and when they got closer, and the sound of the conversation in the room became clear, they heard one laugh and say, "What kind of wind is blowing today, and it has blown you here." The voice was very familiar, and Bai Yixue and Ling Zhaoxu could hear that the person was Tang Xi.
A young woman smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Shang said that you are sick, so I took a turn to see you." Ling Zhaoxu couldn't hear this voice, but Bai Yixue immediately realized who this person was: "It turned out to be her!" That young woman was Mo Lingsha, who he couldn't figure out. Bai Yixue approached the window and thought to herself, "She really has a lot to do with the Enping Palace, but why did she want to rescue those captive women? ”
Tang Cian was silent in the room for a long time before he sighed and said, "I know in my heart that if you hadn't had this disease, you would never have come to see me in your life." I'm glad you came to see me. ”
Mo Lingsha sneered: "Don't be sentimental, I have something to see Mr. Shang today, I learned from him that you are sick, come and see you by the way, otherwise who has the spare time to come to see you?"
Tang Wei was robbed by her for a while, but she didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "If you don't make a special trip, what's the matter, anyway, Miss Mo saw that I was here, didn't ......she? It's also jolly. ”
Mo Lingsha knew the meaning of his words, but pretended not to know, and said: "I see that you are red-faced and bare-eared, is it a fever that burns you to a daze? Tang was silent. Mo Lingsha said again: "I heard from Mr. Shang that you have been sick for some time, what kind of illness did you have?"
Tang Wei said with a smile: "I haven't thought about tea and dinner recently, I must have a heart disease." ”
Mo Ling said: "Heart disease? That's not a serious illness, it won't kill you." Mr. Shang, how did you say that you have an emergency?"
Tang Wei smiled: "If your heart is very serious, it is no different from death." However, heart disease still needs heart medicine, as soon as you come, I feel that this disease has been cured for the most part. ”
Mo Lingsha sneered: "Okay, most of it, then dare to be kind, Doctor Mo is in a good mood today, and he will treat you for free, so he won't charge you for medical treatment." Since you're not seriously ill, I'll take your leave. As he spoke, he turned and walked to the door.
Tang Wei hurriedly said: "It's hard to talk, don't be in a hurry to leave." Early this morning, the chief manager had already invited the doctor to come over to take a look, and the nineteenth was suffering from the wind chill and the low-grade fever did not go away. ”
Mo Lingsha stopped and said, "Then ask the doctor to prescribe a few pairs of medicines and rest for a few days, I don't think it's a big deal." ”
Tang Wei muttered: "It's really bitter to be alone, sick and calamity, and there is no woman around you who knows cold and heat......" Bai Yixue heard this, and scolded in her heart: "Tang Wei is well versed in the joy scene, but he said that there is no woman around him, he is really shameless." ”
Mo Lingsha snorted and said, "Don't pretend in front of me, Sect Master Tang, the ...... beside you Are there still few women? I can't get cold or hot for you. ”
Tang weeping said hesitantly: "Alas, I'm just ...... It's just a show...... I can't really ......"
Mo Lingsha sneered again and again, and said: "Acting on the spot, why do I think that watching the Tang Sect Master enter the play is very deep, and I never get tired of seeing one who loves the other." Tang Wei had no choice but to close his mouth. Mo Ling said: "Sect Master Tang, how much are you Gui Geng this year?"
Tang said with a smile: "Tang is twenty-eight this year, and to this day, he has not met a caring person, so he has to be alone ......."
Mo Lingsha interjected: "You person, give you a good face, just kick your nose in the face." Sect Master Tang, if you are willing, you will only lose your fortune and lose your life, don't you understand this truth? If you keep tossing around like this, if you really can't afford to get sick one day, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, he will not be able to save you, and this is called self-inflicted sin and cannot live. ”
Tang Wei laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern...... Miss"
Mo Lingsha shouted: "Don't put gold on your face again, what do you have that I should care about? ”
Tang Wei ignored her, and said to himself: "Don't worry, I can't die for a while, if there is really that day, I will also choose to die in your hands......" Bai Yixue scolded secretly: "This person is so thick-skinned, unsurpassed, he should be the first in the world." ”
Mo Lingsha said coldly: "Are you dead or alive, what does it matter to me? You are now dead in front of me, and I don't even blink my eyes." ”
Tang Wei smiled bitterly and said, "You and I are the same...... Friends, how hurtful these words are. ”
Mo Ling said: "I have said everything I should say, whether to listen or not, that's your own business." Sect Master Tang, you are so self-conscious. ”
Tang Wei smiled: "Thank you Miss Mo...... Teachings, Tang put every sentence in his heart, don't dare to disobey it. ”
Mo Lingsha sneered: "Don't dare to disobey? Sect Master Tang is a generous family that turns poison into poison, are you still afraid of me as a little woman?"
Tang Weeping said seriously: "You don't understand this, as the saying goes, one thing descends one thing." When I saw you, I was like a mouse to a cat, and my bones were soft, and my heart was terrified. ”
Mo Ling smiled coquettishly and said, "Alas, the Tang Sect Master who can make people feel scared, then wouldn't I be even more powerful?" Tang cried "hehe" twice, but didn't say anything. Mo Lingsha said again: "Speaking of power, it should be your Tang Sect's poison and secret weapon. Among them, the three most powerful poisons are the white feather, the monk's eye, and the Buddha's head green, right?" Bai Yixue suddenly heard her mention the Buddha head green, and her heart suddenly "chuckled", and she pricked up her ears to listen to them.
Tang Wei said with a smile: "Although the Tang Sect is located in the southwest, when it comes to these treasures, no one knows about them. ”
Mo Ling said: "Sect Master Tang was invited by the county king this time, and came from afar, presumably with your family's baby, I am very curious, is it really so powerful?"
Tang Wei smiled leisurely and said: "It's not powerful, I don't count what I said, friends in the rivers and lakes have their own opinions." ”
Mo Ling said: "I don't know if I have been hit by the three poisons of your faction, is there still a chance to live?" Bai Yixue outside the window couldn't help but move in her heart: "She suddenly mentioned the Buddha's head and asked so carefully, is it ...... Are you talking about it?"
Tang Wei said lightly: "There is absolutely no possibility, no precedent." There was a hint of pride in his words.
Mo Lingsha said with a smile: "As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?" Sect Master Tang often deals with these highly poisonous things, in case one day he wanders and loses his hand, wouldn't it ...... Badly bad?"
Tang Wei said with a smile: "Since I can make this poison, I know its pharmacological components well, and it is easy for me to turn poison into a poison." ”
Mo Ling said: "Seeing is believing, hearing is false." Another day, I will bring a heinous death row prisoner over, and I want to try your faction's poison as an interview, how powerful it is, and how powerful the Tang sect master's kung fu is to turn poison into a miracle. ”
Tang Wei smiled and said, "Listen to it." "In fact, the white feathers, the blue eyes of the monk and the green head of the Buddha, as a highly poisonous thing, the toxicity is extremely violent, it can be said that it is to die when touched, it is because Tang Wai used the green Buddha head in Baisha Town, carefully brought the suede gloves. Although the Tang Sect has developed an antidote to the three poisons, the poisoned person must take it in time, otherwise he will have to worry about his life in an instant, and because the three poisons are extremely fierce, even if he takes the antidote to the throat, if he wants to remove the toxins in the body, he must also supplement it with other traditional Chinese medicines, slowly recuperate, and spend months of effort, how can it be easy to turn the poison?
Mo Lingsha smiled and said: "Okay, a word is a certainty, I want to see with my own eyes how powerful the most powerful poison in the world is." ”
Tang Wei said: "In fact, in my heart, these three things are by no means the most powerful poisons in the world. As soon as these words came out, not only Mo Lingsha in the room was startled, but even the white-clothed Xue and Ling Zhaoxu outside the window were also taken aback, and the three of them thought in their hearts: "The white feathers, the monk's eyes are blue, and the Buddha's head is green, all of them are the top poisons in the rivers and lakes that talk about the tiger's color change, could it be that the Tangmen Tantra has secretly developed a poison that is even more powerful than the Buddha's head in the past few years?"
Mo Ling was silent and said, "Oh, there is a more powerful poison?" For a while, both indoors and outside the window were holding their breath, just waiting for Tang Wei to say what that thrilling thing was.
After a long time, Tang Wei said slowly: "In my Tang Wai's heart, Miss Mo is the most poisonous 'poison' in the world, and the toxicity is so strong that Tang is terminally ill and there is no cure. ”
