Volume 1 Wisdom Fighting the Capital Chapter 98, the slanting sun is just right
On the twenty-sixth day of January in the seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, Shen Shi, Liquanfang in Chang'an City, and Hazelnut Residence in Xufu.
Xu Ke leaned on the couch, his face was pale, his eyes were sunken, his lips were slightly blackened, and he had a handsome and good-looking face, but he was sick like a dying person. In only a pair of eyes as bright as stars, there is still such a resolute and fearless look.
"Little disease-free...... Are you feeling better?" asked Hu Yiyi softly. In these two hours, she used the silver needle to relieve the method, and gave Xu Ke more than ten needles around his body from Dadun, Xingjian, Taichong, through Zhongfeng and Ligou, until the Zhangmen and Qimen acupoints, and along the Yin and Liver meridians of the foot. Seeing that black blood juice was overflowing from time to time at the end of the needle, Hu Yiyi kept pulling out the needle, detoxifying, applying the needle, and pulling out the needle for Xu Ke...... After a few moments, the needle's tail would still spill black blood. Rao is the Bibo fairy who prides herself on being a generation of miracle doctors, and she is also secretly frightened, this "Seven Days of Soul Devouring" is very powerful......
"Sister Hu, I'm a lot...... Right now, my chest doesn't hurt much, thank you, sister......" Xu Ke said weakly. He didn't want Hu Yiyi to help her with acupuncture treatment, but he couldn't help it, so he had to lean on the couch and let Hu Yiyi be busy for him. However, under Hu Yiyi's best efforts, Xu Ke's needle stinging and burning pain and other pains all over his body were finally slightly relieved.
On this day, although Hu Yiyi tried all kinds of methods, except for relieving Xu Ke's pain a little, she was still powerless to cure and detoxify. Now, she can only sit on the edge of the couch, watching Xu Ke become more and more depressed and emaciated, no matter how worried and urgent she is, she is still helpless......
It is only one day before Xu Ke dies of poisoning.
"Sister Hu, I heard that the Kaiyuan Gate in the west of the city is Balin Plain. The scenery on the plain is very famous in Chang'an, and today the wind is beautiful, so let's go to the forest plain together, how about it?" Xu Ke asked with a smile at Hu Yiyi.
"Hmm...... It's okay! My sister will accompany you to Balinyuan for a walk. Speaking of which, my sister has been in Chang'an for a few days, can you ...... But I haven't been with my sister to ...... properly Take a good look at this Chang'an City......" Hu Yiyi replied, and couldn't help but show a choked voice in her words. She recalled that since she and Xu Ke have known each other, she really hasn't been to Chang'an City for a good visit. Just because she usually lives alone on a lonely island, she has always liked seclusion, and she doesn't like to go to the lively places in the crowd, and she doesn't want to go out with Xu Ke to enjoy the scenery today, it is the last day of his life......
After that, Hu Yiyi took off all the silver needles on Xu Ke's body and helped him get up. Xu Ke was determined to walk by himself, but Hu Yiyi had no choice but to go out and tell Dong Laifu to prepare a car. She carried Shu Hattian's cage and walked out of the house with Xu Ke, and the two got into the carriage, and then ordered the coachman to go west and go to Balinyuan.
Although Chang'ancheng Avenue is built quite smoothly, the carriage will inevitably have some bumps along the way. Xu Ke sat in the car, and with the vibration of the car, he couldn't help coughing a few times from time to time. Although his face was still bloodless, his eyes were still full of joy and smiles. Through the car window, he looked at the bustling crowd on both sides, and the neat and gorgeous shops passed in front of him one by one, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
Chang'an City is really a good place......
The carriage went all the way to the west, and after traveling for half an hour, it arrived at Balin Plain. It is a plain about ten miles wide, north by the Ba Mountain, south of the Weishui, between the mountain and the water, high and low, all planted with Qi flowers and Yao grass, famous trees and bamboo. Looking from afar, the woods are jagged, the grass is green, the wild fragrance is fragrant, the good trees are beautiful and prosperous, all year round, the scenery here is pleasant, it is a good place for Chang'an people to go out to enjoy the scenery the most.
Although it is the middle of winter at this time, there is also an endless stream of tourists on the Balin Plain. First, it is still in the first month, Chang'an's human nature is very lively, and it is a custom to travel in a group in January; secondly, on the edge of Weishui, there is a plum forest planted, which is already full of pink and white plum blossoms, all the way is fragrant, there are more than ten miles long, attracting countless men, women and children to compete here to enjoy the plum blossoms.
The two got out of the carriage and came to the side of the plum forest, walking while enjoying the plum scenery. Xu Ke fought hard and struggled to move forward. Hu Yiyi, who was next to him, was carrying the rat cage while paying attention to prevent Xu Ke from falling due to physical exhaustion. But when she couldn't help but hug Xu Ke, she was often gently pushed away by Xu Ke......
One of them was a young man with a pale face and black lips, the other was a young woman who was as beautiful as a flower and captivated the city, one was a person who walked and shook three times as if his personality was dying, and the other was holding a wire cage with a rat in the cage. The passers-by next to him were surprised when they saw these two people so strange.
Some people saw Xu Ke's sick face and couldn't help whispering:
"Who is this? Looking at Manjun's appearance, it looks like he's about to die!"
"Could he be suffering from some kind of tuberculosis...... It's a pity! I heard that Niu Laocai in Niujia Village is lacking a son-in-law in the family. He grew so good-looking after this, if he didn't get sick, I could help him be a matchmaker! The Niu family is rich, and if he gets rich, he will enjoy endless blessings......"
Some people saw Hu Yiyi's beautiful appearance, and even pointed at them and talked about them:
"Where did a girl come from, with this look, this figure...... Could it be the new top card of Cuiyun Building? Impossible, ten top cards are not as good as her...... Pretty looks."
"Such a beautiful girl is actually holding a little white face! That little white face makes people angry when she looks at it! A white face is dead or alive, how can that girl take a fancy to him? Isn't it blind!"
......
There are even some prodigal children who can't help but walk up to Hu Yiyi, not only keep squeezing their eyebrows at Hu Yiyi, but also have some provocative and frivolous words in their mouths......
Hu Yiyi was naturally unceremonious to these people, only to see her palm open, just waved it in front of their eyes, and the eyes of those people changed suddenly, as if they had seen a ghost, and they ran away in fright. There was a young man who tripped over a stone and fell heavily on the mud of a dog, and by the time he stood up, a large bag had swollen on his forehead.
The illusion of the thousand-year-old fox demon is unmatched in this world. Hu Yiyi only punished them slightly, after these prodigal children went back, every time they saw a beautiful woman for a whole month, it would be like seeing a ghost...... Who told them to mess with Hu Yiyi?
Xu Ke smiled at Hu Yiyi and asked weakly, "Sister Hu, are you ...... Is it an illusion?
Hu Yiyi said with a smile: "These are just small skills of carving insects, my sister's skills, I can deal with some mortals who don't know how to lift, if you meet those people in the Dao, you only need to be a god."
See through ......"
Xu Ke said: "Speaking of which, that day in Xuanduguan, how could my sister be trapped in the 'Four Elephants Cangxu' by Brother Li?"
Hu Yiyi sighed: "That day, I also blamed my sister for raising it, forgetting that the Tao of the world is the nemesis of our demon world." That Li Guan is a master of profound spells, and my sister is naturally not his opponent. However, when I talked about this, my sister was angry, it was all Xiao Shu's broken idea...... What do you say, only Lord Xuandu Guan can help him untie the cage, and my sister still thinks that he has any friendship with Lord Li Guan, but they have never even seen each other!"
Xu Ke turned his head to look at Shu Hatian in the cage. At this time, the big mouse's eyes seemed to be closed, and when he heard Hu Yiyi's blame, he only opened his eyes slightly, and then closed them. Shu Hetian has been trapped in the cage for many days, although he has not eaten and drunk for a short time, but he is trapped by the spell, and his expression has become more and more difficult, and he is even more silent at this time. Otherwise, with his temperament that likes to talk a lot, how could he stay in the cage and be silent at this time?
"Ahem, Brother Shuxian has been trapped in a cage for a long time, and there is no way! How can I get him out?" Xu Ke sighed. As soon as he saw this appearance of the book fairy, Xu Ke's heart felt compassion again, he had no intention of appreciating the plum at this time, his mind was engrossed, but he was thinking about how to help Shu Haotian get out of trouble......
"Don't worry! Xiao Shu's catastrophe will always have a day of liberation...... Xiao Wuxi, you don't have to worry about him now......" Hu Yiyi comforted.
Xu Ke thought to himself: "Sister Hu listened to the words of Brother Shuxian and went to Xuandu Guan to ask for help, but unexpectedly she was trapped by Brother Li in the Four Elephants. Brother Li then gave me the treasure, and secretly begged me to save Brother Junxian. Presumably, Brother Li calculated that I would go to Xuandu to pay a visit, and he also knew that I could open the Four Elephants Cangxu. I remember a few months ago, I met an old fortune teller in Chang'an East City, who once said that everything in the world is created by karma, and there must be an effect, and there must be a cause and effect...... On that day, when Brother Shuxian casually said that the Lord of Xuandu was the master, he may have planted the fruit that I would go to rescue Brother Junxian in the future...... If you know that I will die tomorrow, why bother to relieve me of the twelve kinds of poisons?...... Since he can entrust me with the matter of rescuing Brother Jun Xian, he will inevitably calculate that I can save Brother Jun Xian from prison. Since he calculated that I could save Brother Jun Xian from prison, what will I do tomorrow...... Will you die?"
Thinking of this section, Xu Ke's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said to Hu Yiyi: "Sister Hu, don't worry, I Xu Ke has not done any major things, and tomorrow is not my death!"
Hu Yiyi was also overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Xiao Wuxi, have you come up with a way to detoxify?"
"This ...... Not yet," Xu Ke touched his forehead and said with a sigh.
"Ahem...... There is no way to detoxify, how can you ......?" Hu Yiyi couldn't help but stomp his foot and sneered at Xu Ke. But in her heart, how could she really blame him.
Xu Ke was about to explain to Hu Yiyi according to the conjecture in his heart, but suddenly heard a noisy sound not far ahead. The two of them looked forward, and saw that between the plum trees in front of them, there were two fair girls, surrounded by a group of gentlemen. These people surrounded the two girls, constantly laughing and laughing, making noise, and a few young men in brocade clothes even ran forward to move their hands and feet against the girls......
A young man said, "Girl, where did you come from? This dress doesn't look like a person from Chang'an, isn't it a Hu girl from the Western Regions?" I heard that Hu Nu is good at singing and dancing, and the girl's figure is ...... I am happy today, so how about I buy you for one night? If you are comfortable waiting for me, I have silver, ......."
Another young man in brocade clothes also coaxed: "Roar! Zhao Gongzi has taken a fancy to these two bearded girls! I said that these two girls, Zhao Gongzi's father, if you say it, you will be scared to death! That is the squire of our Great Cadre and Military Department! It is your blessing to be favored by Zhao Gongzi!"
Another young man in brocade clothes said: "Zhao Gongzi, just take the two of them back to the mansion, just find a separate courtyard to settle them first, and wait until you are finished, and let the brothers have a good time!hahaha!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but drool from the corners of his mouth......
While avoiding the entanglement of the young man, the two girls said angrily: "You guys...... Let go of your hands and tell my son-in-law when we go back, my son-in-law...... My son-in-law is not ...... I'm going to have to skin you!"
"Hey, return your son-in-law! Your son-in-law doesn't want you anymore, there are so many sons, you can pick any one of them! Guan Bao will satisfy you!" The crowd suddenly burst into laughter, and immediately four young men in brocade clothes rushed up and grabbed the hands of the two girls, dragging them to the ground. When the passers-by next to them saw this scene, although they also pointed and talked about it, they all avoided it far away, and no one dared to step forward to stop it......
"Stop!" Xu Ke shouted angrily, although his voice was not loud, but the handsome young man Zhao Gongzi had heard it clearly.
"Who is not afraid of death to be the uncle here! Call me!" Zhao Gongzi commanded.
When the crowd was neutral, six entourages in strong suits rushed over, thinking that they were all Zhao Gongzi's family members. When those family members saw Hu Yiyi beside Xu Ke, their eyes lit up, and they all said in their hearts, My son-in-law is really a beautiful blessing today! The two Hu girls just now are already a lovely person, and now this woman is even more stunning!
Hu Yiyi was about to wave his hand, but was stopped by Xu Ke raising his hand. Xu Ke smiled: "A little thing, Sister He Lao made a move?"
"But you can't do anything at the moment!" Hu Yiyi said secretly in her heart. She was anxious, but she saw that Xu Ke had taken out a black iron sign from his arms in a hurry, and his eyes lit up at the six family members, and he said in a deep voice: "Open your dog's eyes and see, Tsing Yiwei is handling the case here, don't you hurry up and retreat!"
As soon as they heard the word "Tsing Yi Wei", everyone present couldn't help but change their faces, and several family members couldn't help but stand on the spot. There were two bolder young men in brocade clothes, who ran to Xu Ke's approach, and when they saw a lifelike lion's head engraved on the black iron brand, they were even more frightened, their eyes widened, their mouths widened, and they hurriedly returned to Zhao Gongzi and whispered a few words in his ear.
Zhao Gongzi was still unwilling, he said in his heart that his father was a third-grade master after all, and he was afraid that you would not succeed in a five-grade hundred households, but he couldn't stand the persuasion of a few brocade-clothed young men next to him, so he waved his hand hatefully and led everyone away.
"Two girls, are you all right?" asked Xu Ke at the two girls. At this time, he suddenly felt that the two girls in front of him were very familiar, but he couldn't remember who they were for a while. They are dressed in strange clothes
, like hemp but not hemp, like yarn but not yarn, colorful, it looks good on the body, but it is by no means the clothing of the Central Plains women, and the two girls still faintly exude a strange fragrance......
"Ah Zhu Xie Gongzi rescues! If it weren't for Gongzi's ...... today" The girl named "Ah Zhu" was still about to say thank you, but another girl pulled her arm, and the two ran away like two little rabbits chased by hunters. The other girl panted and said to Ah Zhu as she ran: "Sister Ah Zhu, they are from Tsing Yi Wei, why don't you run away quickly?"
Seeing these two girls running away like a gust of wind, Xu Ke couldn't help laughing and said: "Sister Hu, it seems that my reputation in Tsing Yi Wei is not good, look at the ...... that scares the two of them."
"I think...... It's you Xu Baihu who has a bad reputation, you know how to capture women's hearts on weekdays, if they don't run faster, I'm afraid they will have to be your 'poisonous hands' again......" Shu Haotian in the cage finally couldn't hold back, and suddenly said at this time.
Hu Yiyi still glanced at Shu Hattian, but when she turned her head and saw Xu Ke's lonely figure in the sunset, her heart was tightened again, and her eyes, which were still smiling a little just now, were full of sorrow at this time......
At this time, it was already the right time, and a touch of sunset was slowly disappearing from the west of Bashan. The afterglow of the slanting sun renders the distant mountains, rivers, grass trees, and ancient roads into a misty dusk. From a distance, this misty dusk is like the melancholy in Hu Yiyi's heart, lingering and endless......
The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk
......
"Ah Zhu, Ah Ju, aren't they the two maids that Kang Youren carried in the Taihu Lake Demon Hunting Conference?" Xu Ke was stunned for a moment, and finally remembered the origin of these two girls.
The two maids are here, so, what about Kang Youren?
The Kangmen Strange Poison "Seven Days Soul Devouring Scattering" in his body, now, the Kang family may be by his side? If he finds Kang Youren, why worry about the strange poison?
......
Almost at the same time, in the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Li Chongsheng asked Shen Huan, the governor of the Tsing Yi Guard, who was standing solemnly in front of the hall:
"Sun Xun still won't say anything?"
Shen Huan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, no matter what method we use, Sun Xun still refuses to recruit anything except to confess that he is the mastermind of the assassination of Qincha. ”
Li Chongsheng asked again: "In your opinion, will this mastermind ...... Is that Sun Xun?"
Shen Huan didn't dare to look directly at the emperor's scorching gaze, and bowed his head and replied: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of Weichen, although Sun Xun is a third-grade thousand households in charge of the Bei'an Ping Division, he doesn't seem to have the courage to assassinate Qincha. But it cannot be ruled out whether Sun Xun is suspected of personal revenge, if he himself refuses to confess, who is the mastermind, Weichen does not dare to conclude ......"
Li Chongsheng was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Sun Xun refuses to say, there is no other way?
Shen Huan said: "Your Majesty, another assassin is very expensive, even Sun Xun refused to confess to death before, but now that Sun Xun has been captured, he confessed the entire process of assassination. However, as for whether there is a mastermind behind Sun Xun, Diao Degui really doesn't know anything. ”
Li Chongsheng's eyes swept over Shen Huan's head, just staring at the Panlong Pillar in the main hall, as if he was talking to himself: "Sun Xun refuses to recruit, and he has no way of knowing, so this matter is over......? Where have they gone?!"
Shen Huanzhi heard that cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, and replied in fear: "Your Majesty, after Weichen goes back, he must do everything possible to ask the truth from Sun Xun's mouth!"
Li Chongsheng waved his hand, let Shen Huan get up, and said: "Don't patronize and interrogate Sun Xun, there are a few other things, you have to hurry up!"
Li Chongsheng put down the fold in his hand, got up from the dragon chair, walked a few steps in front of the imperial case, and then said:
"The first thing, the Jingyang camp in the north of Chang'an, the martial arts cavalry camp in the west of the city, and the Shenwu army in the south of the city, have all sent people to keep an eye on the point!"
Shen Huan hurriedly replied: "Weichen immediately sent people to closely monitor these three military camps!"
"This second thing, you have to send someone to watch it carefully in the Chu Palace, and you must find out who is in and out, and report it immediately if there is any change!" Li Chongsheng said again.
Shen Huan hurriedly bowed his head and responded: "Weichen commands!"
Li Chongsheng said again: "This third piece, around the Wei Palace, you also need to send someone to watch ......"
Shen Huan couldn't help asking, "King Wei's Mansion...... Do you want to?"
Li Chongsheng said: "It's for you to send someone to protect you! The fourth child has already been in distress once at the mouth of the West Gorge, and there can't be a second time!"
Shen Huan hurriedly responded: "Weichen obeys the order! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely send me a master of the Tsing Yi Guard to secretly protect King Wei Zhouquan!"
"Hmm...... You go!" Li Chongsheng waved his hand at Shen Huan, signaling him to retreat, and when Shen Huan was about to walk out of the palace gate, he stopped him again and asked:
"Shen Qing, after this Sun Xun is arrested, you Bei'an Pingsi can't be left without an owner for a day...... Do you have a good candidate in mind?"
Shen Huan turned around and took a few steps in front of the emperor, bowing his head in contemplation as he walked, but he was still hesitant......
"Nangong is silent, what do you think of him?" asked Li Chongsheng.
Shen Huan thought for a while, and then replied, "Your Majesty, Nangong has been silently serving as my Tsing Yi Guard to inspect thousands of households for many years, and he is really a talent that can be created, but he is too young after all...... Wechen is worried that he is still young and his actions are not thorough enough, if he suddenly gives him an official, I will be the burden of the Tsing Yi Weibei Anping Division, Wechen is afraid that he will not be able to bear it......"
Li Chongsheng interrupted Shen Huan's words with a wave of his hand, and asked again:
"And who is your favorite?"
Shen Huan replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen recommends a person, his name is Yang Wenyuan, in terms of age, he is forty and two this year, and he should be in the prime of life." In terms of qualifications, he has served as a hundred households in the Bei'an Ping Division for eight years, and he is already familiar with the affairs of the health office. In terms of character and ability, he is humble and self-disciplined, meticulous in his work, diligent in his errands, and is a well-known person. What's more, this time he reported Sun Xun, he is still the first ......"
Li Chongsheng waved his hand again to block Shen Huan's reply, and said lightly: "Let's put this matter aside for a while, I will think about it again......" Then, he asked Shen Huan to retreat.
Looking at Shen Huan's distant back, Li Chongsheng's eyes narrowed slightly, no one knew what the emperor was thinking in his heart at this time...... Full Book - Free Full Book Reading Network
