Chapter 14: Seriously Wounded

However, it was said that the assassins at the banquet had been killed, but everyone no longer had the heart to drink the banquet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhang Jun was very sorry for Yue Fei at this time, he really didn't expect such a big mistake in the good banquet. He was furious, scolded the people in charge, and ordered them to investigate immediately to see what was wrong, and so many assassins had mixed in. On the other hand, I would like to thank Liu Qingzhou's master and apprentice, if it weren't for their master and apprentice, there might be some big mess today.

At this point, Yue Fei couldn't say anything to blame, besides, Zhang Jun was still his boss, what could he say? At that moment, Yue Fei comforted Zhang Jun, interceded for a few stewards, and then took the generals to say goodbye and went out of the city and returned to the camp.

Liu Qingzhou and Dugu Sword Master and Apprentice helped a lot this time, and the generals under Yue Fei couldn't stop thanking them. Yue Fei even took Liu Qingzhou's hand and said with emotion: "Master Liu, five years ago, after being summoned by you to warn, Yue was able to prepare early and block the Jin soldiers' attack. Five years later, you saved Yue's life under the edge of the sword, and you are grateful for your great kindness, and you will definitely entrust the affairs of Master Liu to the Holy Lord, and ask for credit for Master Liu's master and apprentice!"

"General Yue, Liu does things, one is not an official, and the other is not a name, but he just keeps in mind the teachings of the ancestors of the Hengshan faction in the past dynasties, and hopes that the world will be peaceful and the people will no longer suffer. If General Yue really has a heart, please ask the emperor for an order to exempt the people of Dongting from taxes. Yue Fei said: "Master Liu, Yue has been taught, and Fei will definitely ask the saint to exempt the people here from paying taxes for three years, so that they can recuperate." ”

"In this case, Liu Moudai has thanked General Yue on behalf of the people here. As he spoke, Liu Qingzhou bowed to Yue Fei. Yue Fei hurriedly supported Liu Qingzhou, "Master Liu, what are you doing here, Yue really can't bear it, please hurry up." ”

"General Yue, although the people here were forced to rebel, the general was able to not pursue it, not only to send rice and grain, but also to ask for tax exemption, Liu must not fail to thank him. ”

At this time, Yue Fei and Liu Qingzhou's feeling of sympathy for each other became even stronger, although the two were more than 20 years apart, they admired each other very much.

Liu Qingzhou looked up at the sky, "General Yue, it's not too early, Liu's master and apprentice have already completed their merits this time, so I will leave here, and we will meet again and again!" Yue Fei kept repeatedly, but Liu Qingzhou was anxious to return to Hengshan, how could he stay for a few more days? Yue Fei had no choice but to take the generals out of the camp gate, and the two sides said goodbye again, Liu Qingzhou took the Dugu sword and rode a fast horse and returned to Hengshan. Yue Fei and the others watched them leave until they could no longer see ......

Here, the master and apprentice hurriedly whipped up their horses and did not stop at all. After a short time, it bypassed Tanzhou City and went straight to the south. When it was close to evening, they were almost there, and they could already faintly see the peaks of Hengshan.

Suddenly, Dugu Jian suddenly reined in his horse and shouted loudly to Liu Qingzhou: "Master, something is wrong! Liu Qingzhou hurriedly stopped the horse and turned to look at Dugu Jian. "Master, today's group of assassins, their kung fu is obviously very common, and they are definitely not masters in Manichaeism, if they really want to assassinate General Yue, how can they send such a group of people? Liu Qingzhou thought about it carefully, what Dugu Jian said was very reasonable, and asked, "Jian'er, then you mean that there must be some conspiracy in this?"

"Yes, Master, do you think that if there are three or five masters hidden in this group of people today and drag us down, how can General Yue retreat with his whole body? It means that Xiang Zhuang dances the sword to attract our attention. ”

After listening to what Dugu Jian said, Liu Qingzhou thought about it carefully, and suddenly felt that with the ability of the Manichaean people, it was impossible to arrange such an assassination that had no return and no successful grasp, and there must still be a backhand. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and the more he felt that there was such a possibility. "Jian'er, you're right, so in your opinion, when will they strike again?"

"Master, if I were to be in command, tonight would be the best time. ”

"Yes, I just experienced an assassination during the day, and no one could have imagined that I would attack again tonight. Liu Qingzhou nodded. "Not good! Jian'er, let's go back quickly, I'm afraid that General Yue will be in danger tonight!" Liu Qingzhou hurriedly turned his horse's head, galloped his horse, and returned to Yue Fei's camp, and Dugu Jian also hurriedly drove his horse to follow.

What the two of them expected was not bad at all, Manichaeism has gone through hundreds of years, and in these twenty years alone, there have been two large-scale uprisings led by Fang La and Zhong Xiang, although they were both suppressed and their vitality was greatly damaged, but the remaining masters and wise men in the sect would never arrange such a deadly assassination. Especially after Lu Guangyuan and Mu Ying returned to the sect, they informed Liu Qingzhou and Dugu Jian that they had arrived, and Yue Fei had already taken precautions, how could they go to hit the stone with an egg? Moreover, Yue Fei broke through their camp on the lake, and the Manichaean people also suffered heavy casualties, although they were eager for revenge, they would never send people to die in vain.

It is true that the assassination during the day was just a pretense, making people look very large, and there were so many assassins that they thought that the Manichaeism had done their best and went all out, but who could have found out that there was actually fraud in the middle? At that critical juncture, who would pay attention to the level of the assassins' martial arts. The people who designed this plan were well-intentioned and well-means!

That night, Yue Fei did not spend the night in Tanzhou City, but stayed in the barracks outside the city like the soldiers. In the afternoon, after Liu Qingzhou said goodbye, Zhang Jun sent someone to send the wine, meat, fruits and vegetables of the army. He also prepared a generous gift for Yue Fei to apologize for the assassin's assassination. Yue Fei was open-minded and would not blame Zhang Jun, so he returned the gift and wrote a letter to express his intentions.

The barracks at dinner was very lively, although Yue Fei explicitly ordered that alcohol was not allowed, but enough meat and vegetables still made these soldiers who only had one dry and one thin meal on weekdays very happy. The bustle in the camp lasted until the evening, when it gradually quieted down.

Yue Fei naturally couldn't sleep, he took Zhang Xian and Yue Yun to inspect the circle, sent the two of them to rest, and stood outside the handsome tent, looking up at the sky for a long time, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

At this time, Liu Qingzhou and Dugu Jian were hurrying up, anxious, and they couldn't wait to return to Yue Fei's camp in the next moment.

Time was passing quickly, and the sky was getting darker and darker, Yue Fei turned around and walked back to the tent, picked up a copy of the "Minutes of the Art of War" and read it. Unconsciously, the twilight deepened and deepened, and Yue Fei was still sitting on the main seat reading the book.

At this time, a guard walked outside the tent with tea and whispered, "General, bring you some tea." Yue Fei answered, and the guard walked in slowly with his head down. walked in front of Yue Fei, knelt down, and raised the tea tray above his head, "General, please use tea." Suddenly, a shout was heard outside the tent: "General Yue be careful!"

I saw that the guard flipped his palm suddenly, pushed the tea tray towards Yue Fei, took out a dagger from his arms, and stabbed it. Yue Fei also reacted quickly, and after hearing the reminder, he hurriedly jumped away and dodged the fatal blow. Dugu Jian dodged into the tent, and before he had time to draw his sword, he raised his palm and slapped it at the man's back.

"Good boy, it's a big thing to ruin me!" the guard was very angry, and turned over and stabbed at Dugu Sword. Dugu Jian didn't have time to change his moves, so he had to fly up, hoping to kick off his dagger. I didn't want the guard to move sideways to the left, and stabbed in the right abdomen of Dugu Jian. Dugu Jian was hit hard by this, but he still raised his breath and slapped it out with a palm, hitting the guard's shoulder, only to hear the guard's muffled snort, and he was also injured a lot. At this time, Yue Fei had already understood, and attacked the guard with his punch.

This person reacted quickly enough, and after receiving a slap from Dugujian, he hurriedly retreated outside the tent, and took advantage of the situation to raise his palm to kill a guard who rushed in. Yue Fei couldn't catch up, and saw that Dugu Jian was seriously injured, so he could only quickly support him first and put him on the couch on the side. Yue Fei was so anxious that he shouted: "Guards, send the military doctor quickly!"

The guards outside the tent had already followed Dugu Jian when he flashed into the account, but all this happened too quickly, and before they could react, they were killed again. At this time, seeing the situation in the tent, he got Yue Fei's order and hurriedly went to call the military doctor. A short time later, a military doctor ran in with a medicine box. Yue Fei stepped out of the way, "Doctor, take a look, is his injury serious?"

At this time, Dugu Jian's face was like white paper, and he was unconscious. The military doctor took out the cotton cloth and the golden medicine, and said to Yue Fei: "Please also ask the marshal to hold him down, I will pull out the dagger first, and then apply the golden medicine to stop the bleeding first." Yue Fei nodded, pressed Dugu Jian's arms, pulled out the dagger with military strength, threw it aside, and hurriedly applied the medicine to the wound with a cotton cloth to stop the blood flowing out.

Dugu Jian was woken up again, Yue Fei saw it, and said softly: "Little brother Dugu, do you feel better?" Dugu Jian smiled reluctantly, "It's okay." General Yue, did the thief run away?" Yue Fei nodded. "That's good, as long as General Yue is fine. Don't worry, general, my master will be there in a moment. Yue Fei was very moved in his heart, and gently patted Dugu Jian's shoulder, "You have a good rest first, and you will talk about anything when your master comes." Then he turned around and asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with him now?"

"Dashuai, fortunately, the wound is not deep, and this little brother has no worries about his life for the time being. However, he lost too much blood and needed more rest, so I will prescribe a few prescriptions for conditioning. After the military doctor finished speaking, he went down with the medicine box. Yue Fei lowered his head and said to Dugu Jian: "Little brother Dugu, you have a good rest first, I will guard on the side, waiting for your master." Dugu Jian stopped talking, closed his eyes and began to silently heal his wounds.

After a short while, Liu Qingzhou finally arrived. Why did you ask why Dugu Jian arrived first, and Liu Qingzhou was so late, just because Liu Qingzhou's horse was exhausted halfway and fell to the ground, so he ordered Dugu Jian to go first on a horse, and he performed light skills all the way and came on foot. Therefore, Dugu Jian hurried along the way, one step faster than Liu Qingzhou, and rushed to Yue Fei's camp. The guards at the gate of the camp saw Dugu Jian go and return, so he wanted to ask each other, but he didn't have time to answer, jumped off the horse and ran to the tent, and saw a guard enter the tent halfway, he saw that the guard was walking very steadily, and he was definitely not an ordinary soldier, so he guessed that there was fraud in it, so he hurriedly reminded Yue Fei that he had escaped a catastrophe.

Liu Qingzhou entered the tent and saw Dugu Jian lying on the couch, Yue Fei sitting on the side, and was shocked. Hurriedly asked, "General Yue?" Yue Fei saw Liu Qingzhou coming in, hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Master Liu, I am really ashamed that Gao was stabbed by a gangster in order to save Yue. But fortunately, there is no worry about my life, I have ordered someone to pull out the dagger, and I have also applied the golden medicine, so there is no major problem for the time being. After Liu Qingzhou heard this, he couldn't care so much, hurriedly walked closer, looked at Dugu Jian with a pale face, and called softly: "Jian'er." ”

Dugu Jian slowly opened his eyes, "Master, don't get in the way, it doesn't matter if the disciple is injured, the master is tired." Liu Qingzhou's eyes were tearful, he nodded, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and poured out a pill, "Jian'er, come, take this 'Spring Flower and Winter Snow Pill', you can exercise and breathe again, and then rest." With that, he fed the pill into Dugu Jian's mouth.

"It's just that Yue is careless and has affected Ling Gao's disciples, otherwise how could this be?" Yue Fei stood aside and said with great annoyance. Liu Qingzhou stood up and said with relief: "General Yue doesn't need to blame himself, he only hates thieves for being treacherous and cunning, and he can't prevent it." I also ask General Yue to be more vigilant in the future and be more careful in everything. ”

The two looked at Dugu Jian, who was sleeping deeply, and stopped talking, and sat quietly on one side until dawn.

Two or three days later, Dugu Jian's wounds had begun to heal and his body was no longer so weak, so Liu Qingzhou planned to return to Hengshan and let Dugu Jian recuperate slowly. And Yue Fei was also ordered to prepare for the return of the class. So, everyone began to pack up and prepare to go their separate ways.

Outside the gate of the camp, Yue Fei took a group of generals to say goodbye to Liu Qingzhou, "Master Liu, farewell today, I don't know when I will see you again, in the future, Yue's camp will always be open to respect for masters and apprentices, but if there is a need, as long as Yue can do it, I will not hesitate." Liu Qingzhou thanked him and said, "Then Liu is here to thank General Yue." In the same way, if the general sends anything in the future, as long as he writes a letter, Liu will inevitably bring someone to serve! ”

After the two sides said goodbye, Liu Qingzhou drove the carriage and carried the Dugu sword to Hengshan. Yue Fei also pulled out the village class teacher and returned to the dynasty to resume his life. The two of them never thought that this parting would be an eternal separation, and they would never see each other again.

In fact, the distance from Tanzhou to Hengshan is only more than 200 miles, but Liu Qingzhou was worried that Dugujian's wound would collapse, so he walked very slowly. It took two days to rush back to Hengshan.

Lu Qing and the four of them stayed on the mountain for more than ten days, only knowing that the master and senior brother went down the mountain to do errands, and the reason was not clear. Now that he saw that the senior brother was seriously injured, he was very worried. Hurriedly helped Liu Qingzhou carry Dugu Jian back to the room, Qu Xia was even more anxious, and kept asking about the senior brother's injury. Liu Qingzhou did not tell all the reasons for the matter until this time, and explained that Dugujian's injuries had stabilized and he only needed to recuperate, so everyone was relieved.

After five or six days, Dugu Jian was already able to get out of bed and walk, this was the first time in his life that he was injured, and he was so seriously injured that he had never imagined. Several junior siblings took turns to take care of him, which made him feel a deep sense of brotherhood. After more than a month, Dugu Jian's wound was completely healed, and he tried his martial arts again, but it was not affected, and the entire Hengshan faction returned to its former calm.

After Yue Fei's class returned to the dynasty, he was added to the inspection school and was enshrined as the founding prince of Wuchang County. Soon, he was promoted to Jinghu North Road and Xiangyang Fu Road, and heroes and heroes from all over the country were attached one after another, and the Yuejia army grew to more than 100,000 at once. He also made a statement to the emperor, showing the merits of Liu Qingzhou's master and apprentice, Emperor Gaozong was deeply moved, and specially sent an envoy to send a generous gift, and wanted to canonize the official position, Liu Qingzhou repeatedly resigned, and then gave up.

After the Chinese New Year, Liu Qingzhou called the five apprentices together and said: "Jian'er, Qing'er, the five of you are not young, you have been practicing kung fu with me in the mountains all these years, and the master has not taken you out to see and understand. Now, it's time for you to go down the mountain and travel a little bit to gain experience. Dugu Jian asked: "Master, what arrangements do you must have, can you talk to the disciples?" Liu Qingzhou smiled and said: "A few days ago, I received a letter from Yi Dafa, the chief dart head of the Golden Lion Dart Bureau, who escorted a batch of darts to Quanzhou after the year, and when he passed through Shaozhou, he was robbed of the darts, but fortunately, they desperately defended this batch of darts, but they ran away for the gang of thieves. Yi Dafa sent a letter to me, his darts are more important, and he has no skills, and he wants me to help find out the origin of this group. Therefore, Master wants you to take this opportunity to go to Shaozhou to investigate this matter and experience it. Lu Qing then asked: "But Master, there is no clue about this matter, and Yi Darttou has not explained the characteristics of this group of people, how can we investigate?" Jiang Xu spoke first and said: "Second Senior Brother, this is okay, when we get to Shaozhou, there will naturally be a way." Liu Qingzhou smiled, "It seems that Xu'er has already thought of it, then it's good, then you can go back and clean up, set off tomorrow morning, and take care of Xia'er on the way." "Yes, Master. Everyone said yes and went back to prepare.

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Qingzhou personally sent five apprentices down the mountain, and instructed: "Be careful in everything, the rivers and lakes are sinister, what happens, don't blindly fight fiercely, and don't easily believe the words of others, you guys have to discuss more, understand......?"

Who would have thought that from this time onwards, in the next few years, "the four sons of Hengshan, the sword Qingtao Xu, and the beauty of both the two are like clouds", this reputation will spread in Jinghu and Guangnan. The five of them are chivalrous and righteous, punishing evil and promoting good. Shaozhou captured robbers, Guizhou rescued orphans, Qianzhou investigated traitors, and Chaozhou pirates, but they did a lot of good things, which greatly increased the face of the Hengshan faction.

And Liu Qingzhou also successively accepted more than a dozen registered disciples who were about the same age as them, and the Hengshan faction gradually prospered again, and its popularity was even more than before.
