As she screamed, He Lingchuan rushed forward on horseback. Just as the Fusheng knife flew back to its owner, He Lingchuan caught it with one hand and killed two people in a row.
The second person reacted quickly and rolled around to avoid the blade.
Before he could get up, He Lingchuan threw the gun with his backhand, and with a whoosh, his palm was pinned to the ground!
The robber was in pain but could not move away. Before he could scream, He Lingchuan turned the horse's head, and four hard horse hooves trampled over him!
The horse added Lingchuan's weight and deliberately slowed down the pedaling, and others heard a few crisp "clicks", like small firecrackers.
The spine, arms and legs were all broken.
This time, the howl went up to the sky.
He Lingchuan then pulled out his spear and calmly chased down the remaining bandits.
As soon as the robbers heard the sound of horse hooves, they saw three of their companions dead. They couldn't think of resisting, so they ran away with a cry.
He Lingchuan pointed to a few figures from behind and said to Dong Rui: "How do you keep these guys in check?"
"Okay, okay." The good job was out of his turn. Dong Rui shook his horse's reins angrily and went to catch up.
After a while, the screams coming from there became louder, more panicked, and more prolonged, and they didn't stop until it was time to drink tea.
By the time the two of them returned to the forest, the blood on the tip of He Lingchuan's spear had finished dripping and it was as clean as water. The green-skinned monkey on Dong Rui's shoulder had its mouth open and was picking its teeth.
Lingguang had already untied the people on the ground. When Jin Bai and others brought the child over, the woman rushed over and hugged her son, kowtowing to He Lingchuan and the others.
Everyone who was rescued saluted He Lingchuan and called him their benefactor.
He Lingchuan waved his hand: "If you don't take the main road, why go to this small road?"
"We just took the main road." The boy's father said with a bitter look on his face, "My wife was worried and went to relieve herself in the forest, but she was kidnapped by the gangsters. We went in to rescue her, but we couldn't save ourselves."
Another person said: "We also hired a guard, but as soon as the guard entered the forest, he ran away and left us to the robbers."
Jin Bo asked: "Isn't this guard hired in a serious way?"
"They were hired at the market. I saw that they were strong and strong. They also said that they had been on the battlefield and fought..."
He Lingchuan understood that in a place like this, if you want to save a small amount of money, you will probably suffer a big loss.
He and the Shadowfang Guard are back on the road.
"Mr. He is also eager for justice and justice."
He Lingchuan smiled: "The human heart is made of flesh."
There used to be sand bandits on Hongya Road in the Panlong Desert, but when He Chunhua became the county guard, he imposed strict restrictions. He only robbed money and materials but did not hurt anyone. Offenders were suppressed. After a few times, the surrounding bandits became much more honest.
Otherwise, it would be fishing in a dry lake. How could anyone dare to take the Hongya Road in the future?
Unlike here where there is no law and official patrols are ineffective.
…
The incident on the road didn't waste much time. In the evening, the outline of Xuncheng, the capital of the Kingdom of Wei, appeared in everyone's sight.
Shadow Tooth Guard told He Lingchuan and the two of them: "Don't go to the fly restaurant here. It's easy to get upset. Several of us here have experience... Also, wandering around outside at night can easily cause trouble."
But neither He Lingchuan nor Dong Rui looked like people who were afraid of trouble, so Jin Bo didn't remind them to pay attention to their safety.
Everyone went straight to the city gate.
There is trade between the Yangshan Islands and the Gold Flash Plains. Several important ores are transported from the Gold Flash Plains to the archipelago by sea. They are indeed transited in the country of Wei and shipped at Julu Port, so He Lingchuan has a formal business in his hands.
Logically speaking, getting in and out of the capital is not a problem.
Under the city gate, there was a lot of hustle and bustle.
He Lingchuan thought there were too many people queuing up to pass the inspection, but when he got closer, he realized that there were only a few people passing the inspection at the city gate, but more than ten feet away, the shack under the wall was packed with people!
The shacks here stretch for two miles, and the people who live here are civilians who have fled elsewhere. In terms of rags, they are as shabby as the beggars at the Julu Port Pier.
But they were all excited at this moment, stretching their heads and grabbing the broken bowls and pushing forward because someone was giving alms in front of them.
He Lingchuan never liked to go to crowded places. When he passed by, he only took a quick glance and saw several large cars parked in the open space in the middle of the shack. Some people were carrying thick-faced steamed buns from the cars, and some were in charge of distributing them. People lined up to come forward.
Refugees can take two and leave after taking them.
The reason why the refugees were able to line up honestly and did not rush to grab anything was because there were more than a hundred guards on the side with weapons in hand to maintain order. If they found anyone messing around, they would slap them twice.
There was a scrawny old man who was so anxious that his hand shook and the bun fell to the ground.
Someone on the side picked it up, dusted the dust off the steamed bun, and handed it to him again.
The old man held the steamed buns in his arms, bowed several times to the other party, and was about to retreat, but the man said: "You can eat on the side, and then leave after eating."
At the same time, Dong Rui also said wow.
This is actually a beauty surrounded by pearls and emeralds. The fox fur cloak hides her figure, but cannot hide her heavenly beauty.
The beauty of Songyang Palace Master Li Qingge was bright and majestic, and Sun Fuling's beauty was gentle and elegant, but this woman's beauty was completely different from them, and different from all the beauties He Lingchuan had seen before.
It is a kind of fragile delicacy, like thin porcelain that a spotlight can shine through, like peach blossom jellyfish floating in spring water. While people carefully care for it in the palm of their hands, they also have an impulse to destroy it severely.
It, crush it!
This woman was obviously busy distributing supplies, talking to refugees, and didn't even look at passers-by, but all outsiders' eyes were only focused on her.
She used her cloak and hat to cover up half of her beauty, but it still shone brightly in the sunset.
This woman only needs to stand there, possessing her own contradictory and seductive magic power, and does not need to show off at all.
He Lingchuan's first impression when he saw her was that a narcissus suddenly grew out of the muddy pond. It was tall and graceful and was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Dong Rui also stared at her, in disbelief: "How can there be such a beauty in the country of Wei?"
Let's see what it does and it won't cost any money.
He Lingchuan said with a smile: "It's bleeding out, please wipe it off."
Dong Rui wiped it smoothly and found nothing. He glared at He Lingchuan fiercely, but also looked away.
"They came from the palace." He Lingchuan nodded to the guards with his chin, "Have you seen these guards?"
If there is no one to guard her, such a beauty may not be able to walk a hundred feet on the streets of Fanguo.
But on the other hand, if she dared to appear in the refugee camp outside the city, she naturally had full confidence.
This disaster relief team is obviously headed by her.
He Lingchuan looked at the team distributing food and organizing the refugees to line up in an orderly manner, and he knew that this was not the first time this beauty had done this.
People are beautiful and kind-hearted, huh?
At this time, a caravan suddenly jumped in front and entered the city first. Other civilians and traveling merchants had to wait for a while.
He Lingchuan and others are not in a hurry, just wait in line.
After another two-quarters of an hour, it was their turn to clear the customs.
He Lingchuan took out the documents and the road guide and handed them over. The city gate guard looked at them a few times: "A businessman, um, this is your first time here?"
"yes."
"Then you don't know the rules." The guard pointed to the monkeys on their shoulders, "Family pets are not allowed in."
The word "rules" has an accent.
The two of them had traveled countless places and had never heard of this rule.
Dong Rui retorted: "This is not a family pet, this is a demon companion."
"Then you can't enter!" The guard glanced at him and said seductively, "How can we allow monsters to invade this important place in the capital?"
Jin Bo and others came from behind, took out two broken pieces of silver, and stuffed them into the document:
"Actually, their demon companions are also registered on this road. They are innocent and harmless. Can you take a look?"
They've been here once or twice and know what's going on.
"Let me take a look." The guard took it and put the broken silver directly into his arms. "It's really there. Then you can go over."
Although He Lingchuan and others were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were well-built and their clothes were clean and unpatched. The city gate guards were very jealous. They could see that they were living a good life and thought they had money, so they had to ask for it.
He Lingchuan has traveled all over the country for many years and has seen people asking for money, but never such an upright and open person.
This is the south gate of the capital, right at the feet of Jun Jun!
How dare the soldiers guarding the city openly ask people for money?
Seeing that their leaders were all sitting at the back, they heard it without even raising their eyebrows.
This is a nest of snakes and rats.
After everyone cleared the customs and entered the city, they found a place to stay, which was called Rulin Inn.
Then, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui went to Xuncheng for a stroll.
The area of Xuncheng is only half that of Yuandu, and the houses are more crowded. The advantage is that the living density seems to be higher, and it is not like Yuandu with ten rooms and three empty spaces.
After all, this is the capital city, and the main street has all kinds of hotels, restaurants, restaurants, teahouses, and even places for sensuality and pleasure. Business seems to be good, the buildings are brightly lit, and there are often people in luxurious clothes coming in and out.
When the wind blows, the woman's laughter and the fragrance of makeup are carried out.
But when you go back to the main street, you only cross two streets, and it gets dark on both sides of the road.
Few households had lights on, debris and garbage were everywhere, and the stench of defecation hung in the air.
The distance between two streets is like two worlds separated.
Sometimes there will be a few people sitting at the intersection, crossing their legs and burning paper money in the middle of the road. No matter who passes by, they have expressionless faces.
Several pieces of paper money were blown to He Lingchuan's feet by the wind. He looked down and saw that there seemed to be a big-headed doll drawn on the paper money. His expression was distorted by the fire, and only his eyes, which were larger than almonds, were still glaring.
After passing a few houses burning paper money, He Lingchuan and his wife took a shortcut back to the main street, intending to buy some cooked food and bring it to the inn for drinking.
After a few dozen breaths, the two of them passed an old locust tree, where someone was also burning paper money under the tree.
The two appeared and seemed to startle each other.
The men quickly grabbed the tablets on the ground, threw them into the fire barrel, and cast a warning look at the two of them:
Don't meddle in other people's business.
The memorial tablets were also made of white paper, and when the tongue of fire licked them, they burned to the ground.
However, He Lingchuan had good eyesight, and he could see clearly by the light of the fire. The tablet was half buried in ashes, but a few words were exposed:
...Master Mai’s spiritual tablet.
Soon, the flames consumed these words.
He Lingchuan was too lazy to look further, so he and Dong Rui continued along the alley, and soon returned to the main street.
For someone like him who loves visiting fly restaurants, he didn't dare to look for a small shop after Jin Bo's advice. Instead, he walked into a braised vegetable stall that looked clean and hygienic, and ordered some chicken feet to try first.
Then he pointed at the remaining braised vegetables and said:
"Wrap them up, we want them all."
There are seven or eight kinds of meat and vegetables here. In addition to braised goose, there are also chicken offal, smoked rabbit, smoked bamboo rat, and various small cold dishes. In terms of variety, it is far inferior to Sodin Island.
Before they came, the boss didn't sell much all afternoon and night, and almost fell asleep while lying on the chopping board. He was so happy when he heard this, he quickly got up and chopped meat into pieces for the generous guests.
He Lingchuan went to the wine shop next door and ordered a few jars of wine, put them all in the storage ring, and headed back home with Dong Rui.
￥￥￥￥￥
The people in the capital all knew about the great joy of the royal family, because King Wei ordered that for two days of celebration, each person could receive two kilograms of grain, two taels of meat, half a kilogram of dates, and ten candies.
So during the day, Xuncheng is as lively as the Chinese New Year.
Several shacks were opened outside the city to provide food and porridge to beggars and homeless people. As expected, everyone was happy.
When you first arrive in a foreign place, the hardest thing to find is connections. He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui to go to the land of fireworks to collect information. It would be best if any of the benefactors come from the palace or the homes of high-ranking officials, so that they can easily place the Eye Spider.
All information must be collected bit by bit, and the key is to follow the clues one by one.
The key is to touch the right vine, and then there will be melons behind.
But before Dong Rui took the money and set off, clues came to him first——
Ahao from Julu Port rushed to Xuncheng in a hurry.
Dong Rui stared: "Is there news so soon?"
He hasn't had time to go out yet!
"Yes, yes." Ahao, who had been riding a horse all day, was covered in sweat, "I got the news that the two gentlemen wanted! I treated the two guards to a feast of feasting and drunkenness.
I just asked..."
Dong Rui interrupted him: "Have you found out the origin of Ming Dengzhan?"
"No, no, that's not the case. This can't be found out!" Ah Hao shook his head like a drum, "But there is a new trend in the palace. Doctor Chen just received a reward not long ago, a huge reward! It's only less than ten
Let’s go to heaven.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Mr. Chen?"
"Ah, yes, the Imperial Medical Bureau has not been easy to work in the past two years. The imperial doctor even had his head chopped off by the king. I heard that it was all because of poor treatment that the second prince's condition worsened." Ahao licked his chapped lips, and He Lingchuan said
He was handed a glass of water, which he picked up and drank in one gulp.
He has been poisoned by others, and there is no need to poison the water.
"Mr. Chen, who took over as the Chief Physician two months ago, was originally just an attendant, and no one thought highly of him. The guards in the palace even made bets on how long he could last. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly recovered and the second prince's condition improved significantly.
." Ah Hao continued, "I heard that Dr. Chen has recently become a celebrity in the palace and frequently visits the second prince's palace to see doctors. Two days ago, the king rewarded him with several delicacies and tributes in front of everyone.
, I really envy others.”
Dong Rui clicked his tongue twice: "If you are so powerful, why did you only work as a doctor before?"
Following these words, He Lingchuan asked: "Why was Imperial Physician Chen directly promoted from Attendant Physician to Chief Physician? Is there no other expert in the Imperial Physician Bureau?"
That's several levels of promotion.
"Ah..." These three questions in a row made Ah Hao confused.
He would remember whatever the guards in the palace said. He really hadn't thought about these issues.
Yes, why did the attendant doctor suddenly become the chief of the Imperial Medical Bureau?
He Lingchuan looked at his confused expression and knew that he had no answer, so he turned around and said, "So, it's true that Mrs. Chen cured the second prince's madness?"
"It hasn't been announced yet. Once the second prince recovers, Imperial Physician Chen will become famous."
"Okay, great." He Lingchuan patted Ahao on the shoulder, "Can you find out where Doctor Chen lives?"
"Yes, that's great, please give me a day!"
Dong Rui threw him a pill: "Taking it will delay the poisoning for seven days."
While Ahao was swallowing the medicine, he suddenly heard He Lingchuan ask: "By the way, how is your accomplice? What about the tall guy?"
"Crack!" The pill got stuck in his throat. Ahao coughed a few times and drank a few more sips of water before he could recover.
"So excited? What happened to him?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Ahao waved his hand, "He didn't say anything when he woke up, he just cursed bad luck. It's not the first time he's encountered such a tricky idea."
"That's good." He Lingchuan said slowly, "I thought he wouldn't let you go, but it seems you settled it yourself."
The listener was interested, Ah Hao felt a chill in his heart. Looking at He Lingchuan's expression was calm, he didn't know if the speaker was interested.
He excused himself hastily.
After Ah Hao left, He Lingchuan asked Dong Rui: "Did you really cast a spell on him?"
Does this guy still use poison?
"Of course!" Dong Rui said proudly, "I will do what I say."
He couldn't wait to go out. He had He Lingchuan's money in his arms and wanted to go out and spend some money.
Oh no, this is business, business!
The past few days have been tiring with traveling and traveling, and Mr. Dong needs to relax and unwind.
The romantic places in Wudu are really prosperous. Which one is better for him to go to?
With an attitude of seeking truth through research, Dong Rui planned to visit two more companies.
But as soon as he stepped out of the inn door, two people rushed past him and almost bumped into him.
I couldn't see his face clearly, but I only knew that he was running extremely fast, so he had some cultivation skills.
Click, click, click, and the two men disappeared into the alley diagonally behind them.
Are you running for your life in a hurry? Dong Rui cursed secretly.
People on the road didn't make any fuss, they all looked indifferent and kept doing whatever they were supposed to do.
But Dong Rui had only gone a dozen steps when more than thirty officials came out from the corner of the street, striding towards the place.
At first glance, it seemed like he was here to chase someone.
Dong Rui finally understood why the two people just ran away.
He lowered his head and walked on his way. Unexpectedly, when these officials were about to rush past him, the leader suddenly turned around and looked at him, then stretched out his hand and pointed: "That's him!"
Who? Who are you talking about?
Dong Rui saw that he was pointing at him, so he looked around, but there was no one around him.
He moved two steps to the left, and the other person's finger also moved over, still pointing straight at him.
The leader gave an order, and dozens of his men swarmed forward, their shackles clinking, and they came to take the man.
The ape lying on Dong Rui's shoulder squeaked twice and wanted to get off the ground.
Dong Rui covered it: "I can't do it."
The demon ape is making a big fuss in Wedu, and he doesn't want to cause trouble.
His body movements were extremely flexible, and two or three guards were thrown into the air.
Dong Rui shouted: "I am a visitor from out of town, you have mistaken me!"
The leader only said: "Kneel down! If you are not a fugitive, what are you afraid of?"
This is very reasonable, but after Dong Rui saw the moral character of the local police officers, he had no confidence in their ability to investigate cases and judge people, and made up his mind not to go to jail.
