The errand officer accompanying Nangong Huangyun had already finished lunch at this time, and when he saw that Nangong Huangyun was injured, he hurriedly stepped forward to help. Liu Jingxuan and others came to the gate of Chu Mansion and said goodbye to Chu Jinglian. Liu Jingxuan and Xiao Rang got into the carriage one after another. The officials gently helped Nangong Huangyun to the carriage, then rode on the horse, escorted the carriage, and returned to the yamen of Yangzhou Prefecture.

The carriage drove out about five miles, Liu Jingxuan glanced at Xiao Rang, who was sitting opposite, and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Xiao, why do you insist on asking Nangong Xuanyun to compete with that Dao Chang today." My Yangzhou Mansion has always relied on Nangong to catch heads and handle cases, and protect the safety of the yamen. Now Nangong Xuanyun is seriously injured, how can this be good?"

Xiao Rang's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice, "My lord." The student once said that this Chu Jinglian had a very close relationship with this fake third prince Zhu, and it was true when he saw it today. That Wang Shiyuan's name is just a pseudonym, and the ghost Taoist Ye Weihan beside him is ironclad evidence. Cheng Qiran and the others beside him, although the students didn't know much about it, they could be concluded that they must be the key criminals of the imperial court. That ghost Taoist has outstanding martial arts, and even Nangong Catcher is not his opponent. When I heard that these important criminals of the imperial court had just arrived in Yangzhou City, they were extremely arrogant and arrogant, and they dared to smash the gate of Yuhuangtai during the day. Today, if we encounter these court criminals, if we cower and flee, it will inevitably encourage the arrogance of these traitors. Then my lord, how will you govern this Yangzhou city in the future? Although Nangong Zhutou suffered some injuries, it was fine. After today's battle, this fake third prince Zhu also knows the power of my Yangzhou Mansion, and I believe that it will be much more restrained. Although Nangong Catcher is not an opponent of the ghost Daoists, I still have 3,000 soldiers in Yangzhou who defend the city. As long as the adults say hello to the chief soldier Morite, I believe that it will be easy to catch these thieves. ”

Liu Jingxuan frowned and did not speak.

Xiao Rang asked softly, "Isn't it that adults still have concerns, for fear of shocking Chu Jinglian?"

Liu Jingxuan nodded: "I waited for the house today, and my original intention was to hope that Chu Jinglian could stop as soon as possible." Today, he has promised in front of his official that he will dismiss the green forest heroes around him within half a year. I also want to give him a chance. After all, he is still too young, and if he arrests this fake third prince Zhu too early, he is afraid that things will be reversed, which will make him embark on an extreme road. ”

Xiao Rang's face was solemn: "My lord, now that the case of the Guo family's murder has not been solved, the governor Ah Shan has urged to solve the case many times. And the murderer has a great relationship with Chu Jinglian. If the adult is soft-hearted for a while, I'm afraid that the crown on your head will be a small matter..."Xiao Rang's second half of the words did not come out.

Liu Jingxuan's mood became heavier and heavier, and at the same time, he became more and more silent.

Chu Jinglian sent Liu Jingxuan away, and his mood was unusually comfortable. Today, Liu Jingxuan's four-grade top wore Zhu Cihuan so much that he couldn't raise his head, not only saved himself from a fight with Zhu Cihuan, but Nangong Huangyun's shot greatly killed the prestige of Zhu Cihuan's group of high-rollers. Even if Nangong Xuanyun was still not the opponent of the ghost Dao people, the rest of the princes were afraid of the prestige of the Purple Jade Mountain Villa and the Divine Catch.

Chu Jinglian returned to his house and came to the Xuan Hall in Chu Garden, where Zhu Cihuan and others were still waiting. Seeing Chu Jinglian coming back, Zhu Cihuan got up and left the table, clasped his fists at Chu Jinglian and said, "Outside the Chu Yuan, it's not early today, so I'll leave here and don't disturb the rest outside the staff." I'll talk about big things another day. ”

Chu Jinglian also arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Then the third master walks slowly, Chu will not be far away." ”

Zhu Cihuan's leg had just crossed the threshold, and he suddenly stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "Today, Xiao Rang insists on Nangong Bright Cloud and us to compete in martial arts, what does Chu Yuan mean?"

The smile on Chu Jinglian's face gradually disappeared, and he was noncommittal.

Zhu Cihuan smiled faintly and said, "If Zhu guesses well, this Yangzhou Mansion is only afraid that there will be big moves." Brother Chu Xian, it's better to be careful. Look, how majestic and tall your Qingtian Pavilion is, I don't know how long you can stand?"

Everyone brought by Zhu Cihuan was silent, and walked out of the Chu Mansion together. Only Chu Jinglian was left standing silently in the Xuan Hall. He knew that although this Zhu Cihuan had a bigger shelf, his city government and experience were much deeper than his own. And he himself is not a fool, now that he thinks about it, Xiao Rang's behavior is indeed abnormal, and he has to make himself think deeply.

Back at the mansion, Nangong Huangyun was helped into his house by the officials. Xiao Rang instructed the officials to hurry up and find a doctor to come and take a look at Nangong Xuanyun's internal injuries, and instructed the kitchen to prepare some smoothing and nourishing ginseng soup for Nangong Xuanyun. Liu Jingxuan was by Nangong Xuanyun's side, looking at Nangong Xuanyun without saying a word.

At this time, Nangong Bright Cloud's face was like yellow money, his lips were like indigo leaves, his teeth were clenched, and he didn't say a word. Beads of sweat covered his forehead, and the muscles on his face twitched. Just now in Chu Mansion, he relied on a mouthful of dantian true qi to support himself, so he didn't lose his face in front of everyone. But as soon as he stepped out of the gate of Chu Mansion, Nangong Xuanyun was already involuntary and could not hold himself. Back at the mansion, Nangong Xuanyun's condition took a turn for the worse, and now he is unconscious.

Liu Jingxuan gently wiped the sweat from Nangong Huangyun's head with a cotton handkerchief, and looked at Xiao Rang, who was busy coming in and out, feeling even more puzzled. Although Xiao Rang said something like that in the carriage just now, Liu Jingxuan still didn't believe it. The injury suffered by Nangong Xuanyun is not a big problem, and it is clearly serious and abnormal.

Liu Jingxuan asked a little irritably, "Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?"

At this time, Xiao Rang was also a little restless, and hurriedly waited outside the mansion.

At this time, a carriage came in the distance and stopped at the gate of the government office. After a while, a servant jumped out of the carriage, and then helped an old gentleman in his sixties from the carriage. The old gentleman, dressed in a blue-gray robe, with gray hair and a haggard face, carried a medicine box in his hand, and hurriedly followed the official to Xiao Rang's approach.

The official rushed to Xiao Rang to hit a thousand with one leg, and bowed down to salute: "Humble to participate in Lord Xiao." Mr. has brought. ”

The old gentleman was just about to give Xiao Rang a gift, but Xiao Rang grabbed him: "Mr. don't have to be formal, hurry up and please come inside!"

Xiao Rang led Mr. directly to Nangong Bright Cloud's bedroom in the backyard. Liu Jingxuan heard movement outside the door, hurriedly got up, and saw the old gentleman holding a medicine box, knowing that the doctor must have arrived.

Liu Jingxuan's expression was lifted, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, hurry up and take a look, what's wrong with him? Is he too seriously injured?"

The old gentleman hurriedly stepped forward, rolled Nangong Xuanyun's eyelids, and took his pulse again, shaking his head incessantly. In the end, the old gentleman stood up and bowed to Liu Jingxuan, and said, "My lord, according to the old man, the injury to this Nangong head catcher is not serious, but I am afraid that he has been poisoned." ”
