Chapter 189: On the Eve of War (1)

A black shadow flashed, blocking between the two, and it was Song Zhongjing who blocked it. Song Zhongjing said with a straight face: "Lu Shaoxia, those who can come here are all people with great status, a gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, how can he regret it?"

Ding Lan also coaxed: "Talking doesn't count, is it a bear?"

Lu Xiaoyuan watched the old man walk off the stage, he couldn't help but be depressed, his throat was sweet, and the cold air in the sea of qi was about to surge up again, his face instantly turned ice blue, and he fell to the ground unconscious.

There was a big chaos in the hall this time, Ding Hao and Ding Lan glanced at each other, secretly happy.

The people of Yanzhou took Lu Xiaoyuan back to seek medical treatment. Lu Xiaoyuan was sometimes awake and sometimes dizzy, and when he was awake, he was also confused, sometimes he could feel several thin fingers beating on his wrists, and he could hear the sound of talking, but he couldn't hear what was said, and the spoon was put into his mouth, and a bitter feeling flowed down his throat.

When he woke up, he saw that he was in the inn room, with two maids serving beside him, and he thought that Tang Yu had hired him. After asking a few words, I learned that Tang Yu had gone to the military camp outside the city, and it was expected that there were many martial artists from the rivers and lakes who had defected these days, and she would be responsible for arranging it.

"Squeak", the door opened, and a soldier said at the door: "General Lu, there is a gentleman who said he wants to visit you, and now wait downstairs." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan didn't know who it was, so he let him in.

After a while, a person walked into the room, only to see him wearing a long robe and a folding fan, which was the Xiushi who called himself "Little Fairy".

When Xiushi saw Lu Xiaoyuan's pale face, he stepped forward quickly and shouted, "Oh, Brother Xian, I really didn't know that you were so seriously injured, otherwise I would have come to visit you a long time ago." "I was very anxious and worried between the words.

Lu Xiaoyuan said in his heart: "I have only known him for a few days, and he cares so much about me. The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Xiushi said, "Brother Xian, I came here this time to heal you." ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said strangely: "You can also heal?"

At the mention of this matter, Xiushi had a somewhat smug look on his face, and said: "What my brother is best at is medical skills, as long as you have a breath, I can pull you back from the ghost gate." Although I am a bookkeeper, I also work as a doctor. ”

As soon as he said this, Lu Xiaoyuan thought that he was the subordinate of the strange old man, and said hurriedly: "Xiaoxian, don't rush to heal me first, my spirit head Huang Ji Zhu was bought by your master, you can help me talk to him, let him return the bead to me, okay? That thing is very important to me, no matter what conditions he proposes, I will agree." ”

Xiushi waited for him to finish speaking, folded the fan lightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you are concerned about it." You don't want to think about it, no matter how rare the orb is, it is only used to ward off poison, and if someone else wants to assassinate my master, there is more than one way to use poison. He spent 30 million taels on this bead, which was really not cost-effective. What's more, when the Lingshou Huang Ji Zhu is in hand, it has become the target of everyone, and there is no shortage of troubles, which may not be a good thing. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said strangely: "Then why did he buy the beads?"

Xiushi said: "I think he has another purpose. I'm just Mr. Bookkeeper, I can't figure out his thoughts, so let's recuperate from your injuries with peace of mind, and after you recover from your injuries, go to my master and talk to him, and he will return the beads. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan thought to himself that what he said was the same, but this strange old man laid out this game so generously, and the plotter must be not small, and he is not as good as the god master, so he may not be able to meet the conditions he proposed.

Xiu Shi looked around, and suddenly asked: "What about the county lord's mother, why is she not here?" Seeing Lu Xiaoyuan's face sank, he changed his words: "It's okay not to be there, there are many people who are most taboo when I want to hear and ask, and I may cause some trouble." Stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Xiaoyuan's wrist, put two fingers on Lu Xiaoyuan's pulse, and closed his eyes to observe carefully.

At first, he looked frivolous, but when he began to diagnose his pulse, his face suddenly sank like water, and his whole body did not move anywhere except for two beating fingers. Seeing this, Lu Xiaoyuan was secretly surprised.

After a while, Xiushi let out a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, and said strangely: "Strange." Brother Xian, your pulse is beating normally, the rhythm is not chaotic, there is nothing wrong, your face is pale in the hall today, and the cold poison is attacking, so what's going on?"

Lu Xiaoyuan smiled bitterly: "I'm not a doctor, how can I know this?"

When Hideshi asked about his symptoms, he muttered to himself, stood up, and walked up and down the room, his brows furrowed, and every now and then he tapped his hand on his skull.

Lu Xiaoyuan was secretly amused, and a little grateful, and persuaded: "Xiaoxian, life and death are fateful, if you can't think of it, don't think about it." ”

Xiushi shook his head and said, "No." If I don't want to get through the incurable diseases, I can't sleep. After pondering for a while, he took out seven blood-red pills from his arms, handed them to Lu Xiaoyuan, and said, "Take one a day to ensure that the cold poison does not occur." Within seven days, I'll figure it out. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "In three days, I will compete with that little marquis." ”

Xiushi said categorically: "Absolutely not. The cold poison in your body is inexplicable, it comes and goes, it is really dangerous, if it suddenly attacks during the competition, won't you die under the hands of that little marquis? Your own life is always the most precious, and you can't give up your life to save others, not to mention that even if you play, I'm afraid you won't be able to win Ding Hao, and you won't be able to save that lady. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "No, I have already agreed to Ding Hao's appointment to fight, even if I die, I will die on the stage." If you can't shrink out, you can survive, and it's not interesting. ”

Xiushi persuaded again, but Lu Xiaoyuan always shook his head and refused to allow it. Xiushi sighed, a look of pity on his face.

At dusk, Tang Yu flew into the room with the women's captain Shi Qingqing and Xu Peng.

Lu Xiaoyuan asked, "Have you finished handling military affairs?"

Before Tang Yu could speak, Shi Qingqing hurriedly said, "What kind of military affairs are you dealing with?" The county lord is going to Yuntai City to settle accounts with Ding Jianxun's old thief!"

Lu Xiaoyuan was taken aback, frowned, and said: "You went to Yuntai City, nonsense, it's really nonsense, that's the base camp of the Marquis of Jizhou, Yan Wangjun has a total of 5,000 people, if you really want to fight, isn't it extremely dangerous?"

Tang Yu lowered her head and was silent, like a child who had done something wrong.

Lu Xiaoyuan thought that she was going to avenge herself, her heart softened, her tone was gentle, and she said softly: "Don't take such a risk next time." ”

Shi Qingqing said: "Actually, it's not a risk. The strength of the Jizhou Hou Mansion is very unbearable. We only brought 2,000 men and horses, and then we killed the Jizhou army to the ground, and closed the city. Let's take the Shenlong Cannon and fire several shots at the location of the Hou Mansion in Jizhou, it is estimated that the Hou Mansion has long been in ruins, and they are still hiding like turtles. ”

Lu Xiaoyuan said: "It's hard to guarantee that the Marquis of Jizhou doesn't mean to show weakness and lower our vigilance, and maybe he will gather the city lords of all cities to unite and wait for the opportunity to launch a deadly offensive against us." ”
