Chapter 10: Uninvited Guests
Zhan Feiyu helped Qing Geng to sit up, sat cross-legged behind him, stretched his arms forward, his palms erected, and an invisible wave of qi covered Qing Geng's back with hot qi and seeped into his body. Time passed slowly, and the sweat on his body became more and more, even in this cold winter, sweat was pouring down on his forehead, and Gao Chang and Jiang Yi outside the house were also anxious, Jiang Yi even looked into the house from the crack in the door, but he couldn't see anything, and couldn't help but say: "It's been so long, why haven't they come out yet, this exhibition has not treated people with poison, and I don't know if it will be successful?"
Although Gao Chang was also anxious, he was not as calm as Jiang Yi, but persuaded Jiang Yi to say: "Since you have chosen to show your head, you have to believe in him, wait!"
Jiang Yi sighed: "It's really annoying!"
At this moment, a government official hurriedly stepped into the courtyard, came directly to Gao Chang, knelt on one knee, stretched his arms forward, bowed his head and arched his hand: "Qiyu Senior Vice General, Pang Zhixian heard that Lord Yushi was injured and returned, so he came to visit." ”
Jiang Yi said angrily: "Big brother can't be disturbed now, let him wait." ”
Gao Chang persuaded: "Third brother, the person who came is a guest, how can he be so rude!" and then he said to the Nafu servant: "You go first to bring Pang Zhixian to the hall to serve tea, and I will go to accompany you later." ”
The government servant said, "Yes, the subordinates retired." Then he got up and turned back and departed.
It wasn't until he couldn't see the figure of the servant that Gao Chang said to Jiang Yi: "Third brother, after you leave for your brother for a while, you have to cheer up and make sure that your eldest brother is not disturbed by anyone." ”
Jiang Yi patted his chest and said, "Second brother, don't worry, the safety of the eldest brother will be wrapped up in the younger brother." ”
Gao Chang patted Jiang Yi on the shoulder, nodded and said, "Don't be reckless in case of trouble, don't leave this door an inch." ”
Jiang Yi nodded heavily.
Gao Chang said goodbye to Jiang Yi for the time being, walked out of the backyard bedroom, and walked all the way to the front yard hall.
When I entered the hall, I saw a pot-bellied official sitting in the guest seat, and a lean man standing next to him stood on the side.
Gao Chang went straight to the pot-bellied official, knelt down on one knee, and arched his hand: "The last general will meet the magistrate!"
Pang Zhixian put down the teacup with a smile, got up to support Gao Chang's arms, helped him up and said, "Vice General Gao doesn't have to be polite. Then he put down his arm and continued: "I heard that Qing Yushi was injured on this trip to Yanjing Village, so he specially prepared some light gifts to visit, I don't know what is the current situation of Qing Yushi?"
Gao Chang knew in his heart that this Pang Zhixian was by no means so simple as coming to visit his condition, so he raised his hand and said, "Lord Zhixian, please take a seat." ”
Pang Zhixian said "politely" and invited Gao Chang to take a seat.
Gao Chang was not restrained, sat down and said: "There is the concern of Lord Laozhi County, my eldest brother has only suffered a small injury, and there is no major problem, and it will be fine to raise it for two days." ”
The corners of Pang Zhixian's mouth were slightly hooked, and there was a hint of mockery hidden in his expression, and he said: "But the rumors that this official heard don't seem to be the case! I am equal to the official of the court, why should the senior deputy general hide this official?"
Gao Chang didn't answer, but asked: "I don't know what the rumors are, the last general is willing to listen to it." ”
Pang Zhixian said: "It is rumored outside that the two deputy generals Cui and Lu are dead, and Qing Yushi has been severely poisoned, unconscious, and his life hangs by a thread." ”
Gao Chang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "It seems that the person who sent the message to the magistrate has bad intentions, and he only said one thing, but did not mention the other. ”
Pang Zhixian's smile tightened, and the hand that was about to serve the teacup suddenly stopped, looked back at Gao Chang in confusion, and said astringently: "I don't know what these two refer to?"
Gao Chang said unhurriedly: "The second is ......" He paused and continued: "On the way back, the last general and others met Zhan Feiyu, the son of the owner of the Zhan Village, and the last general and others entered the city with him, and it is impossible for the person who sent the message to the magistrate to not see it, but he hid it from the magistrate, isn't this worth investigating?"
Pang Zhixian looked at the capable man in disbelief, his eyes were sharp, as if he was blaming him, but he quickly calmed down again, as if nothing had happened, but all this was seen by Gao Chang, who was as careful as dust, and he continued: "There is a show of catching the head, and the little poison in my eldest brother has been cleaned up in three or two clicks. ”
Pang Zhixian said: "That's really gratifying, Qingyu Shi is safe and sound, it is not only the blessing of the community, but also the blessing of Li Shu, this Bo Li Gao Vice General will accept it even more, just wish Qing Yushi safe and sound, and ask Vice General Gao to accept it on behalf of Qingyu Shi no matter what." He didn't wait for Gao Chang to answer, so he coldly instructed the capable man: "Cheng Zhutou, put down the gift and go outside to wait, but remember not to move around at will, after all, this is not your own government, otherwise this official is asking for you!" Pang Zhixian said "don't move around at will" and "ask for you" more heavily than other words, as if emphasizing something.
Cheng Zhutou nodded knowingly and said "yes", left the gift, and walked out of the hall, leaving Gao Chang and Pang Zhixian to continue to greet each other.
......
Outside the bedroom in the backyard, Jiang Yi was still very anxious, but he listened to Gao Chang's words, he was not reckless, and he guarded the door in peace.
Suddenly, a black-clothed masked man broke into the backyard, and when he saw Jiang Yishou in front of the door, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately came back to his senses.
Jiang Yi saw that the person who came was dressed in black and masked, and knew that the other party was not good, so he immediately cheered up and asked sharply: "Who is coming, sneaky, what do you want?"
The masked man arched his hand and said, "I heard that Lord Yushi has been injured a little, so I am here...... Visit. He said "visitation" word by word.
Jiang Yidao: "Since you have come to visit, why don't you look at people with their true faces?"
The masked man smiled and said, "This visit is different from others, what we look for is when the poison enters the internal organs, and whether I have lost my breath!"
Jiang Yi said angrily: "Xiao Mouse, Dare to deceive me There is no one in the Imperial History Mansion, look at the knife!" As he spoke, he stepped on the ground, and the person burst out, swinging his knife and slashing at the masked man.
The masked man didn't panic, but said lightly, "It's a good time." He waved his knife to meet Jiang Yi.
The masked man's knife was fierce, and the two knives came down one by one, Jiang Yi, who was not strong in attack, was slashed back again and again by the masked man's knife, and the big knife was also buzzed, and Jiang Yi's tiger mouth was a little numb.
Jiang Yi was suddenly a little frightened, but he couldn't leave, he just stood there, his right hand holding the big knife trembled slightly.
The masked man glanced at Jiang Yi's right hand and said, "What's the matter, you can't bear this trick, so how do you protect Lord Yushi next?"
Jiang Yi pulled the shield in front of him with his left hand and said firmly: "Unless I die, you don't want to step into this room!"
The masked man said: "Why say it so tragically, in fact, you don't have to die, as long as you leave now, you will be safe." ”
Jiang Yi said categorically: "Don't think about separating our brothers, I won't leave an inch today, I will fight if I want to!"
The masked man sighed and said, "Even so, it won't help you." The voice fell, the masked man had already made a move, after all, it was still daytime, it was easy to be discovered, and too much time could not be wasted.
Between the lightning and flint from the masked man's knife, a thought had flashed in Jiang Yi's mind, "Although this person's skill is high, it doesn't seem to be much higher than that stinky woman, but his strength is a little greater, if I defend with my shield with all my might, as long as I drag someone to come, then I will win." Jiang Yi's movements in his hand did not slow down, he saw the direction of the knife slash, and moved the shield in time to block the masked man's knife.
The masked man was not surprised, and said coldly: "You can block one knife, but what about the second, third, and fourth knives, I want to see how many knives you can block?"
Jiang Yi was not timid, and said: "A few knives that can block a few knives are a few knives." ”
The masked man slashed one after another, and the speed became faster and faster, but even so, more than a dozen knives came down, but he still failed to hurt Jiang Yi, and the masked people were frightened, but also secretly thought: This Jiang Yi's defensive ability is really amazing.
At this moment, several officials in the palace heard the sound of fighting, rushed over, and without waiting for Jiang Yi's command, they directly pounced on the masked man.
Jiang Yi said coldly, "Your trouble is coming." ”
The masked man smiled: "In this case, there will be less accompaniment in the next, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, we will see you again." With that, he shook his sword, quickly withdrew from the battle, and then stepped on the ground, and the man had leapt up, his toes touching the wall, and he was gone.
The officials were about to chase after them, but Jiang Yi stopped them in time, and instructed one of the officials: "Don't chase it, you go and inform my second brother of this matter first, and the others will stay here with me to prevent others from making trouble." ”
All the officials gave up their hands and said "yes", and then went their own way according to Jiang Yi's instructions.
The official ran all the way from the backyard to the outside of the hall, and saw that Cheng Zhutou was still standing outside the door, but his breath was somewhat similar to that of this officer, and he was a little hurried. The official was so anxious that he didn't care about Cheng catching his head, and he didn't even say hello, he just glanced at him and broke into the hall directly.
Gao Chang saw that someone suddenly broke in, frowned, and said, "What's so urgent, don't you see that I have a distinguished guest?"
The official gasped and said, "High...... The deputy general is not strange, it is Vice General Jiang...... Command his subordinates. ”
When Jiang Yi heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and said hurriedly: "Isn't something wrong with the eldest brother?"
After resting for a while, the official was already much better, nodded, and said, "Just a black-clothed masked man broke into the backyard and tried to break into the bedroom of Lord Yushi. ”
When Gao Chang heard this, he ran away, but he suddenly thought of Pang Zhixian again, stopped, looked back and said: "Lord Zhixian forgive me, I will go back at the end." ”
Pang Zhixian walked over with a smile and said: "The safety of Qingyu Shi is naturally more important, Vice General Gao is busy with you, and it's time for this official to leave." ”
Gao Chang said: "Then the last general will not be sent." ”
Pang Zhixian said goodbye to Gao Chang, walked out of the hall, and walked out of the Yushi Mansion with Cheng Zhutou, who was still waiting outside the hall, got into a rather luxurious carriage, and let the coachman drive to the county governor's office.
Gao Chang ran all the way, when he arrived at the backyard, the yard was empty, but the door of the bedroom was wide open, he was anxious, three steps and two steps, and rushed in, only to see Jiang Yi and several servants around the bed, but he couldn't see Qing Geng and Zhan Feiyu, I don't know what the situation is.
