Duan You said: "Is there a possibility, Ling'er was brought here and changed her name, so others don't know." "Last night, he was in a hurry, and he had the idea of leaving early in the morning, and then he thought, since Duan Jing risked his death to summon the news, that is, it was not groundless, and since he had already come here, he had to investigate all over the city, in case he passed by Ling'er, wouldn't it be a great pity!

When Duan Bai heard this, he immediately understood what Duan You meant, and said with a smile: "You finally cleared your mind, and to tell you the truth, I have discussed with Duan Kui at night, even if we turn Yang Tho City upside down, we have to find Ling'er, we are your father's brothers, that is, Uncle Ling'er, uncle, we don't look for it, who will look for it? And you, you must move back to live in my house, don't embarrass us." ”

Duan You's heart was hot, and he said, "After dinner, the two uncles accompanied me to see the head man surnamed Duan and asked the head man to help find him." ”

Duan Kui said, "There is no need to find the leader, let's go directly to see the city lord." ”

Duan You said: "Uncle Kui bragging, the city lord can easily see us?"

Duan Kui snorted and said, "Of course, others can't easily see it, but you, Duan You, are a distinguished guest in the City Lord's Mansion." ”

On the side, Duan Bai's wife laughed and said, "Distinguished guest or petite?"

"It's a distinguished guest, and it's also a delicate guest. Duan Kui winked at him.

Duan Bai restrained Duan Kui: "Don't joke. He also said to Duan You, "You are a distinguished guest of the City Lord's Mansion, this is true." ”

Duan You was inexplicable, Duan Bai and Duan Kui just didn't say it.

After the meal, Duan You and Deng Yu'er went to the City Lord's Mansion with Duan Bai and Duan Kui.

The city lord's mansion is majestic, climbing up the stairs, the Chu red gate is closed, there are four sergeants on each side of the door, carrying a big knife at the waist, standing upright, and not squinting. When Duan Bai approached, a lieutenant walked out of the corner gate and greeted Duan Bai. The two met.

Duan Bai saluted the lieutenant general and said, "Please let the general report that Duan You, the son of Duan Zhen of Liangzhou, has visited the city lord." ”

The lieutenant looked at Duan You a few times, did not speak, and walked straight into the courtyard.

After a while, the gate rumbled open, and I saw a young man about thirty years old, with a red and black face and thick eyebrows and starry eyes, striding out, followed by the lieutenant general.

That young man is the son of the city lord Gao Qianshan, his name is Gao Yuefei, the chief soldier of Yang Tho Baa City, and the general. After going out, he hugged his fist to Duan Bai and Duan Kui and said, "Yue Fei has seen Uncle Bai, Uncle Kui." Then he said to Duan You, "You are Duan You's brother, my name is Gao Yuefei, please come in quickly, my father is waiting in the front hall." ”

Duan Youyou's party flew into the gate with Gao Yue, and the door was closed. Duan You is known, what Duan Bai and Duan Kui said is true. How majestic the city lord's mansion is, if it is not a distinguished guest, how can he open the main door to greet him. I just don't know why.

Inside the gate, however, is a large square, paved with stones. A few people walked through the square, that is, they saw a magnificent hall, and when they walked into the hall, they saw that an old man had led four or five people to greet him, first greeted Duan Bai and Duan Kui, and then looked at Duan You.

The old man is in his fifties, with a peaceful face and a smile on his face. Duan Bo hurriedly said to Duan You: "Duan You, hurry up and meet the city lord." ”

When Duan heard this, he immediately fell to the ground.

This old man is Gao Qianshan, the city lord of Yang Tho Baa City, although he is kind and peaceful, but there is a majesty that naturally reveals, which makes people feel impressed.

Gao Qianshan smiled and said, "Virtuous nephew, please hurry up, look at it, I thought it was Brother Duan Zhen, like, really like!"

Duan Youyi heard the city lord call his father a brother, and he knew that the city lord and his father were old people.

After Duan You and the others sat down, Gao Qianshan looked at Duan You and said, "Virtuous nephew, your father had the grace to save my life back then, and then we married Jinlan, but we have never been in contact. Nine years ago, Duan Bai and Duan Kui's two brothers came from Liangzhou, saying that your father's whole family was killed, and I was also quite injured, but fortunately, God favored you, you can escape from the tiger's mouth, and you have grown up, I am very pleased. It's good that you can come here, don't go to Liangzhou, I'll settle down as soon as you take care of the matter, that's it, don't shirk, otherwise I won't be able to explain to your father. Ji'er ordered Gao Yuefei to arrange for someone to prepare meals and catch the wind for Duan You.

At this moment, a person came in a panic and whispered a few words to Gao Qianshan, Gao Qianshan's face sank, and he said a faux pas to Duan You and others, please wait, and hurriedly went out.

There was only Gao Yuefei in the hall to accompany him, Duan You saw that his face was worried, and said: "Brother Gao, if there is something in the house, I will leave first and come back to visit another day." ”

Gao Yuefei smiled: "In the future, you and I will be like brothers, so you don't have to be polite." He also said, "It's no big deal, it's just that my sister is sick, and my father loves his daughter, so I'm panicking." ”

Several people sat quietly and drank tea.

After staying for a while, the man came to the hall again, and stopped talking to Gao Yuefei, Gao Yuefei said: "Steward Lin has something to say, don't swallow and vomit!"

Steward Lin said in a trembling voice: "The young lady fainted again, the old man is angry, and he wants to cure the imperial doctor's crime, and the imperial doctor Chu wants to ask His Royal Highness to go and comfort the master." ”

As soon as Gao Yuefei heard this, he immediately said to Duan Youyou's few people: "Sit down for a while, I'll come when I go." Leaving Steward Lin with him, he strode out of the door.

Steward Lin has been pacing around the hall, sincerely frightened and absent-minded. Duan Bai asked, "What's wrong with your young lady, is it serious?"

"Seriously. Steward Lin cried with a sad face, "Miss went to Ershan for the Songkran Festival the day before yesterday, and when she came back, she fell ill, her illness worsened yesterday, and today is better than yesterday, and she fainted several times!"

"What did the Imperial Doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor said that he was poisoned, stung by an unknown poisonous insect, and could not be detoxified. Steward Lin cried in her voice, "Miss's arm was blue and black at first, and today there is a blood blister after a blood blister, it's so pitiful!"

"What are you talking about!" Duan Yi was startled and blurted out, "First it was blue and black, and then it was a blood blister?

"Exactly!"

"It's a locust snake, it's bitten by a locust snake!" Duan You said urgently, "Go and tell the imperial doctor, nine times out of ten it was stung by a locust snake!" ”

When Duan You was in Qingtu Lake, he had led the locust snake to hurt the one-eyed ghost, and used the four-legged colored snake to solve the poison of the Vedic locust snake, and then in the east of the Tumen Inn in the mountains of the "yellow mouse" poison, as soon as he heard the poisoning, the snake venom appeared in the brain, at this time, when he heard the symptoms, it was very the same as the poison of the locust snake, so he blurted out. In the eyes of Duan Bai, Steward Lin and others, it shows that Duan is reckless.

Duan You completely ignored the reactions of others, and dragged Steward Lin to walk quickly.

Steward Lin complained bitterly in his heart, so rashly leaving, he would definitely be punished by the city lord, but he was lucky, in case he hit it by mistake. Duan Bai, Duan Kui, and Deng Yu'er also followed, thinking like Steward Lin. Duan Bai thought that if Steward Lin was punished, he would take more responsibility and exonerate him.

After a while, a few people went to the outside of the young lady's courtyard, but they saw that on the bamboo building on the side of the courtyard, the figure was moving. Steward Lin asked Duan You and others to wait at the gate of the courtyard, entered the courtyard alone, and went up to the bamboo building.

Not long after Steward Lin went up, Gao Qianshan, Gao Yuefei and four or five imperial doctors came downstairs, and one of them, surnamed Chu, asked Duan You: "The locust snake that Duan Gongzi said is a locust or a snake, have you ever seen it?"

Duan You said: "It is like a locust, and it is like a snake." And he spoke of the shape of a locust serpent.

Imperial Doctor Chu exchanged glances with several other imperial doctors, and several of them shook their heads, obviously not knowing what a locust snake was. Imperial Doctor Chu said: "Miss was stung by a poisonous insect undoubtedly, the symptoms are similar to the sting of a local poisonous insect in our Erhe River, but it can't be solved at all. He shook his head as he spoke.

As soon as he heard this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Duan You's mind: The one-eyed ghost has arrived and caught the locust snake!

Duan You did not break this verse, saying: "Let me look at the wound, and I will know if it is or not." As he spoke, he stepped into the courtyard and several people followed upstairs.

The smell of medicine in the young lady's room was permeated, a couch against the wall, a mosquito net was half-covered, and a woman in her forties sat on the side of the couch and wept, and two maids stood behind her. When the woman saw Duan You, she hurriedly lowered all the mosquito nets, and was about to open her mouth to ask, Gao Qianshan said: "It's okay, this is Duan Zhen's child Duan You, come to see Xin'er's injury, he will detoxify." He said to Duan You, "This is clumsy." ”

Duan Youyou called out respectfully to Aunt Gao, and the woman nodded to Duan a little, that is, she half-lifted the mosquito net, revealing the young lady's injured arm.

When Duan saw it, his heart sank, and he gasped.

When I saw that the wrist was a blur of flesh and blood, it was obviously caused by cutting the wrist and sucking poisonous blood, and the arm was full of dark purple blood bubbles, the size of millet, dense, and the place where the blood bubbles did not arise, a piece of bruising, which was the same as the new blood blisters on Wei Tuo's waist and abdomen. Duan You said: "It is the poison of the locust." ”

When Aunt Gao heard that Duan Youzhi understood, she said happily: "Can the son solve it?" Seeing Duan You's nod, she slowly took off the placket of the young lady's clothes, revealing half of her shoulder, pointed to a bruise on her shoulder and said, "Look, it's all on your back." ”

Duan You nodded to Aunt Gao again, indicating that he would definitely be able to solve it, that is, he walked out of the boudoir with Gao Qianshan, Imperial Doctor Chu and others and went to another room. Gao Qianshan was impatient and asked, "Virtuous nephew, how can this poison be cured?"

Duan You said: "Uncle, don't worry, the little nephew has his own way." "Ask the Imperial Doctor of Chu, "Is there a seven-legged colored snake here, and there is a red tumor on the top of the head?"

Imperial Doctor Chu said: "Green and brown seven-legged snakes are everywhere, but I have never seen them with red tumors. ”

Duan was stunned, and after a while, he asked again: "If you let people suck Miss's poisonous blood and then use herbs to control it, how long can Miss last?"

Imperial Doctor Chu said, "It can last for forty days." ”

Duan You asked Duan Bai and Duan Kui again: "Uncle Bai Kui, which of you two has been to Qingtu Lake?"

Duan Kui said: "I've been there. ”

Duan You pondered for a moment, and he already had a plan in his heart, so he said to Gao Qianshan: "Uncle, the locust snake venom will definitely be relieved, the long is thirty days, and the short is three or five days. ”

Gao Qianshan said: "The virtuous nephew will say it quickly." ”

"Okay!" Duan You arranged, "Sixty capable sergeants must be transferred, and there must be at least two who can catch snakes." Sixty people, each with two fast horses, went to Qingtu Lake in Liangzhou with Uncle Kui and Deng Yuer to catch seven-legged colored snakes. When you go, you leave one person and two horses every 800 miles, and the person who stays when you come picks up the snake, and you rush it for 800 miles, and pass it at one stop. It is best to leave within an hour. Seeing that Gao Yuefei was going to lead the troops in person, he hurriedly obstructed, "Brother Yuefei, don't go, you and I still have important things to do here!" and explained the location of the seven-legged colored snake to Duan Kui and Deng Yu'er in detail.
