One hundred and sixty-four, gain and loss
Tian Weng hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Chen is an upright official, and Xiao Lao'er won't hide it from you. I told my lord that my family was unfortunate and I was charged with treason, and all the land and property were returned to the public. The men were almost completely dead and wounded. ”
He saw that Chen Lu listened, and then said, "The dog's daughter-in-law has negotiated with the Han master many times and wants to restore her citizenship. The two officials agreed, but the price was too high, there was no surplus food at home, and they were not good at making a living, only the skill of the little old man, earning some every year, and letting the dumb man send him home, rent the fields, and earn some rations, and it was still not enough to raise his nationality. ”
He took a breath, and then said: "This trip, thanks to the help of adults, I have made a lot of money, and I will sell the things here again, and I expect to be almost over." ”
Chen Lu said: "This is really a scripture that is difficult to read in every family. I was born into a family of eunuchs, and I didn't care much about these livelihoods. But I'm thinking, you're a family, and you should have some ancestral heirlooms. As the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, no matter what it is, just take a little bit is enough for those two bullshit masters, a sesame mung bean official, what kind of knowledge do you have?"
Tian Weng understood what he meant, and saw the Ru kiln tea set in his home.
He smiled and said: "The adults are right, they really don't have any knowledge, the little old man really sent them a pair of kiln bowls, the two of them were furious, they fell the bowls at that time, beat the dumb man, and said that I was playing with him, but unfortunately my kiln bowls." ”
Chen Lu was stunned, he didn't dare to laugh out loud, he didn't say anything anymore, and the two hugged their fists.
Tian Weng walked in front of the corpse, tied a paper horse to himself, planted a yin and yang flag on the corpse, flicked the whip three times, and shouted: "The unjust soul returns to his hometown, borrowing the way from ten directions." ”
The corpses turned forward in unison, Tian Weng had already walked ten steps away, the whip rang three more times, the bell rang, and the seven corpses jumped, jumping ten steps away, without any sound.
Chen Lu saw the real corpse chasing, he took a look at Tian Weng, walking fast. The so-called driving of corpses is actually to lead corpses. They were fast, faster than a horse-drawn carriage. Look at this rate, at least a few hundred miles a night.
Tian Weng's shouts and bells gradually faded away. Chen Lu looked around quietly, only to feel that his scalp was numb for a while, and his hair seemed to stand on end.
It really takes courage to do this. He Chen Zicheng really didn't dare to do this job. And those cottage corpse chasers are of course not afraid, there are many people, huddle together to keep warm.
Chen Lu made a whistle, the big green horse ran over, Chen Lu checked the things, pulled and stopped, turned over on the horse, the big green horse rose into the air, and landed five miles outside the city of Thurfan. Chen Lu looked at the sky, it was about four watches.
Chen Lu understood what Da Qingma meant, and at this time, many people had already gotten up inside and outside the city of Turfan, especially the civil and military officials of the palace, like the imperial court, had reached the end of the day. They walked slowly like this, and Bright Sky returned to the camp.
The big green horse trotted all the way, and when he arrived at the camp, it was already dawn. Outside the embassy station, the people of the Propaganda Department were guarding, guarding like an iron bucket. Someone had already seen Chen Lu, and someone immediately went in to report. Yin Ji and Bhasin hurriedly greeted him.
Chen Lu was very moved when he saw the two senior officials of the Propaganda and Comfort Department, who were waiting in the camp day and night. Everyone hurriedly greeted the courtesy, and it was too late to greet each other, so they walked into the conference hall together.
Chen Lu took a look at Li Da, Nalan and the others, and it was the same as when he left, he was relieved, knowing that the last time he took the medicine had an effect, and his body had not changed much.
It's been another three days, and if it's like this, it won't be too much of a problem, and it won't be a problem in a few days.
Chen Lu took out the antidote from the bag and handed it to Ba Xin. Bazin also pinched it, and he didn't feel much, and he was afraid that it would not be enough. But time and time again, he has seen Lord Chen, a civil official, and even ordinary generals can't compare.
Bhasin took it and carefully placed it in his bag.
Chen Lu said: "Arrange for someone to boil the water first, and wait for my old man to dispense the medicine." I'm so sleepy, I want to squint for a while, get it and call me, I still have a medicine here, I have to do it myself. ”
I went inside and fell asleep in a daze. He heard a sound, a burst of fire, and Chen Lu's eyes were astringent, and he opened them for a long time before he opened them. He woke up, something had happened, he hurried out and saw that the square in front of the door was on fire.
The fire has basically been extinguished, but there are still scattered wood, still burning, and the soldiers are still shouting to extinguish the fire.
Chen Lu saw that Ba Xin was also there, saw that there was nothing serious, and yawned and went back to the house. That's when Yoon Ji came in. Chen Lu asked: "Burn the fire well, why is the yard burning?"
Yin Ji said with a smile: "The house is cooking, Ba Xin asked the soldiers to set up a pot in this yard to boil water, I don't know which Qiu Ba is burning the fire, filling something into the stove, and it is blown up, the pot is fine, but the fire is blowing everywhere, and now it is fine, it is almost extinguished." ”
Chen Lu is angry and funny, these are the soldiers of the Xuanwei Division, and it is difficult for him to say anything. At this moment, Bazin ran in, his face was pale, he hugged his fist at Chen Lu, and said, "Please Lord Chen to punish the crime." ”
Chen Lu and Yin Ji were stunned for a moment, and Chen Lu said: "Such a little bit of is also worth punishing? Whose crime is it to be punished? You are not a soldier brought by my old man." The water boiled, and we went to dispense the medicine. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere outside, and a scolding came in, mixed with crying.
Chen Lu suddenly had an ominous premonition, glanced at Ba Xin, and hurriedly walked out, and Yin Ji and Ba Xin also followed.
Chen Lu saw more than a dozen soldiers kneeling on the ground, and two chief flag officers walking back and forth, holding whips in their hands, greeting these soldiers, which was somewhat similar to the scene in Macheng.
Ba Xin walked over, bowed to Chen Lu, and said, "Damn it, lose the antidote." ”
Chen Lu had already guessed that the fire was strange just now.
Yin Ji didn't expect it, he was taken aback, and asked loudly: "What's the matter? This thing can't be eaten as food, and it can't be used as silver flowers, what are you doing with it?" He saw the two flags interrogating, thinking that he had let these guys take it.
Chen Lu said: "Adults don't need to worry, you can talk slowly, what's going on?"
Bhasin said: "The lowly began to carry the bag on his back, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, and the water was about to boil, he took the bag down and put it here. I was very careful and didn't dare to take out the antidote directly, for fear that there would be too many people and something would go wrong, so I wanted to wait for the adults to come out to dispense the medicine before taking it out. Whoever thought about it caught fire, and the bag was fine, but the antidote was gone. There are only a dozen people in this courtyard, and they must have taken it. ”
After listening to this, Chen Lu drank the flag boss, and subconsciously looked into the air, but he didn't see anything abnormal, and it had nothing to do with these soldiers.
He knew what to expect, and waved his hand to let the soldiers disperse, each doing his own errand. He returned to the chamber himself, and the two officials followed.
