Chapter 18 of the Treacherous Volume of the Jingshi Resentment

Wang Dingbian finally withdrew with his subordinates, and a turmoil temporarily dissipated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But it is difficult to harvest the water, and what has been done can no longer be undone, and the seeds of separation have been planted, and they will eventually sprout and bear fruit. Su Zhuo stood alone in the middle of the street, looking up at the sky. The sky was overcast, and his mood was the same as the situation in the capital now. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the mountain rain is about to come, and it has become a black cloud pressing the city.

Su Zhuo returned to Zhuge Mansion with a heavy heart. The housekeeper was slightly surprised to see him return alone. Su Zhuo noticed his inquiring eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" Brother Zhuge hasn't come back yet?"

The housekeeper said: "This morning, the master and the son left together, and they never returned." ”

Su Zhuo frowned, remembering that he found some toner in the rouge box in the Xianglou at that time. So Zhuge Zheng followed this clue to see if there was a breakthrough. However, it was already afternoon at this time, and even if the case was investigated, there was no need to forget to sleep and eat so much. He asked the butler, "Where in the city are there more shops selling rouge gouache?"

The housekeeper said: "A small big man doesn't buy rouge gouache, it's really not clear." However, most of the businesses in the capital are in the east and west cities, and most of the other small stalls sell some fruits or something, and I haven't heard of anyone selling rouge. The East Market is full of expensive gadgets, and I think the shops that sell this kind of stuff should be concentrated in the West Market!"

Su Zhuo nodded, asked the location of the West Market, and went out again, wanting to meet Zhuge Zheng. The road was not close, but he did not ride a horse, but walked slowly alone. As you walk, ponder the facts of the case. originally thought that following Yuechan's clue and finding Zhao Yan, the problem should gradually become clear. Who knew Zhao Yan's personality, which made Su Zhuo think that he was not a murderer. The trail seems to have been broken.

Everything has to start all over again. Although Su Zhuo still can't fully know the truth of the matter, he always feels faintly that he has been led by the nose by others. It seems that the man hiding in the shadows wants him to do whatever he wants, and he has to do it. First found Chen Pingyuan, and then Chen Pingyuan was killed. then found Yuechan, and Yuechan was also killed. Finally arrived at Zhao Yan, so Wang Dingbian followed closely and led troops to surround the palace, almost causing a conflict. It is absolutely impossible for the wild goose to have done so many things without leaving a trace. Su Zhuo faintly guessed the person behind the scenes, and sneered, want to use me as a pawn? I will never be someone else's pawn!

It's almost time since he's come to the West Market. The market is still very lively, with people coming and going, and the cries of street shops are endless. However, the increasingly overcast sky also made many people speed up their pace, wanting to go home before the rain came. Su Zhuo suddenly realized that he was looking for Zhuge Zheng so aimlessly, and he looked a little stupid. He smiled bitterly for a while, and suddenly saw more than a dozen people gathered at the mouth of an alley in front of him.

These people huddled there, not knowing what they were looking at, pointing and pointing. Su Zhuo's curiosity aroused, and he also squeezed over, wanting to see what was going on. He looked through the cracks and saw that the alley had turned out to be an alley of miscellaneous items, no more than three feet wide. Because there were not many people walking, nearby businesses dumped some garbage, causing the alley to be filthy and messy.

However, in the middle of the alley, there was a man lying on his stomach, motionless. Looking at the clothes on his body, isn't it Zhuge Zheng?! Su Zhuo was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed over and picked up Zhuge Zheng. I saw that his face was pale and bloodless, and his body was a little cold. Su Zhuo never thought of this situation, and in an instant, he was already at a loss. He trembled his hand and stretched out the tip of Zhuge Zheng's nose to touch his snort. However, at the touch of a button, Su Zhuo's heart sank to the bottom.

Looking at Zhuge Zheng's resolute face, Su Zhuo's heart was like a knife. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound. He looked at the crowd at the mouth of the alley, asking for some help. However, these people just watched from afar, pointing, and did not dare or want to approach. They are afraid of getting into trouble and getting into bad luck. Su Zhuo just hugged Zhuge Zheng like this, and sat on the ground, the vast world, making him feel extremely lonely and desolate. At some point, his eyes had turned red, tears oozed from his sockets, and a large stone choked on his throat, making his breathing pain.

Su Zhuo held Zhuge Zheng's right hand and found that his right hand was clenched tightly, as if he was holding something. He cracked it open and found that it was a box of black carbon powder. What was he trying to tell himself? Now he knew, but what could he do?

His eyes changed several times, from horror to grief and indignation, and finally became extremely resolute, with a trace of ruthless cruelty in his perseverance. After all, he didn't let the tears flow, but suddenly put his head close to Zhuge Zheng's face, as if listening to Zhuge Zheng's words. Su Zhuo raised his head and shouted frantically, "I will definitely save you!" shouted and pointed at several acupuncture points on Zhuge Zheng's chest.

After doing all this, Su Zhuo picked up Zhuge Zheng's corpse, rushed out of the alley, and ran out of the street as if he was dead. The crowd of people who came and went looked at him and hugged a person horizontally, like a mad demon, and hurriedly flashed to the side, for fear of being bumped into by him. Su Zhuo carried out light work, and he didn't care about saving his physical strength at all, so he rushed all the way to Zhuge Mansion. The housekeeper saw Su Zhuo rushing in with Zhuge Zheng in his arms, and before he could ask, Su Zhuo had already taken someone back to the room and slammed the door shut.

The butler stood in the doorway and nudged it lightly, finding that the door was locked. He asked anxiously, "Master Su, what's the matter?"

Su Zhuo shouted in the house: "Brother Zhuge has been seriously injured, and now his life is hanging by a thread. I'm going to heal him, don't bother anyone!"

The butler was taken aback and did not dare to speak again. However, he was not at ease after all, and stayed outside the door to wait, wanting to wait for Su Zhuo to come out and ask about the situation. After more than half an hour, Su Zhuo opened the door a crack, as if he knew that the housekeeper was at the door, and only handed out a piece of paper, and said, "Follow this recipe to grab the medicine and decoction, be fast!"

The housekeeper hurriedly went out with the prescription and ran to the nearest pharmacy before he had time to take a look at the prescription. Who knew that dozens of medicinal materials were densely written on the paper, and the guy who grabbed the medicine took a look at it and grabbed more than a dozen flavors, but said apologetically: "I'm sorry, the medicine on this prescription is too rare, and the small store doesn't have it!"

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to scold a few words, but after thinking about it, Zhuge Zheng's life is now on the line, how can he still have time to argue about this, so he has to find a horse and go to a bigger pharmacy. However, the medicinal materials written by Su Zhuo are indeed rare, and some of them are hardly used in ordinary times, and they cannot be sold in pharmacies, so they naturally have fewer goods. The butler ran straight through half the city before he prepared all the medicinal herbs.

He ran back to the house sweating profusely, didn't care about resting, and went to the kitchen to decoct the medicine himself. I was so busy for a long time, and when the medicine was ready, it was dark. He brought the medicine bowl to the door of the room and knocked softly. Su Zhuo still only opened a crack in the door, only to see smoke in the room, and he didn't know what he was doing. Su Zhuo took the medicine bowl and said to the housekeeper: "Brother Zhuge is no longer in trouble, with this bowl of medicine, there should be no problem." Now that he needs to rest and recuperate, you should go back and rest too!"

When the housekeeper heard this, he was slightly relieved. This toss really made him tired, so he nodded and staggered back to his room. Su Zhuo held the medicine bowl and locked the door again. However, he was not in a hurry, and gently put the bowl on the table, without any intention of feeding the medicine. The expression on his face was even more terrifyingly calm, and although his eyes were indifferent, they faintly shone like fire. (To be continued.) )
