So, as the dust settled after a few days, Jiang Tian was able to return. There were also two new residents in the small house in Qingqi Garden.
One of them is the blind girl Ayun who was brought out of the underground ghost market. After leaving the ghost market, she basically had nowhere to go; although she said before that she just wanted to die outside the ghost market, but the ghost really
After the city was destroyed, Jiang Tian couldn't just let her die.
Therefore, he took advantage of the situation and proposed an exchange condition to Ayun who saw the light of day again, which was not a request; that is, he would be a slave for three years as a corresponding reward. Then, whether she wanted to end her life or join another
Others are left to their own devices.
Of course, Jiang Tian didn't really expect a blind girl to do things for him; he just gave her one as much as he could under the occasional overflowing sympathy, so that he could calm down in the gap between great sorrow and great joy and make a new choice for the rest of his life.
It's just an opportunity.
Anyway, according to Ayun herself, during those days in the ghost market, she had developed the ability to take care of herself by listening to voices and identifying positions, so she didn’t have to worry too much about making arrangements; on the contrary, it was her good skills.
Pipa and singing skills may be used as a pastime while studying.
In contrast, the one who is more troublesome is another one. That is, Jiang Tian impulsively rescued Concubine Ming from the underground secret sacrificial place. I thought someone would come to take over afterward, but the result seemed to be
Everyone had forgotten about it and treated her as if she didn't exist.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tian knew the specific reason, but he could only shout that he was unlucky; because neither Xiantai nor Jinwuwei wanted to get involved in this big trouble, so he actually became the target of being dumped. But before
The medical officers who were called in took turns, and the results were not optimistic.
It is said that he was poisoned by several mixed and strange poisons, and while his consciousness remained awake, his whole body was paralyzed as if frozen to death; he could not move or speak, and he could only slowly nurse himself back to health and maintain fluids like a vegetative state. Then,
Just leave it to fate and see if you can recover on your own.
At least, in the absence of a specific antidote for the disease, the medical officials can only prescribe some prescriptions that warm and strengthen the essence, soothe the blood and activate the collaterals; and specific massage and stretching techniques can prevent long-term stiffness and immobility.
, resulting in sequelae such as muscle atrophy and bedsores;
In other words, Jiang Tian invited a living Bodhisattva back for himself out of a temporary impulse. However, he really couldn't throw it away even if he wanted to. After kindly rescuing the person, he casually abandoned it and left it to fend for itself.
, that is really too ghostly and despairing.
However, fortunately, the new blind girl Ayun did not hesitate to take on the tedious daily care of feeding, cleaning, massage and medication. This can be regarded as greatly sharing Jiang Tian's troubles. Next, he
Just ask someone to prescribe the medicine according to the prescription, boil it and then take it.
"What about the Yufan Xiao family? There really is no one who can..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Tian asked Guo Chongtao, who personally escorted him to the door and explained the follow-up matters:
"The imperial family of the Eastern Capital has already replied. With Long Yan of the Tian family furious, I am afraid that there will be no more Yufan Xiao clan in the future. If something like this happens, even if the imperial court does not directly eliminate the vassal, the entire Xiao clan will pursue them.
I have taken away my writings since I was born and submitted them to the judicial department for discussion and punishment."
Guo Chongtao sighed and said:
"If the imperial court is determined to eliminate the vassal, and the vassal council has no objections, it will be the first vassal family to be expelled from the country in the past thirty years. Even the smallest vassal family is still a vassal family.
ah."
Jiang Tian was silent in his heart. He vaguely remembered the record of the last vassal removal in the country. It was a vassal family that was angered for disobeying the Empress Dowager Ruizhen during the turmoil related to Zhenzhuji. However, the country was expelled (
After the Spyke), the most basic national title fiefs were still retained, and the descendants and successors were selected from the side tribesmen.
Therefore, it is far less decisive and severe than this time to remove the country, remove the nobility, and pursue the characters since the family was born. However, compared to the time when the vassal family was expelled due to the incident of Princess Zhenzhu, the current Yufan Xiao family is also
Because of this, he was expelled from his country because of his continued pursuit of the relationship. This is like a reincarnation of history.
"Then do you really believe that the Xiao clan master is the real master of the ghost market behind the scenes?"
Jiang Tian then asked again:
"What's the use of whether I believe it or not? It depends on the princes in the court and the Tian family in Ouchi, whether they need him to be the master of this ghost market, or in other words, the matter ends here..."
Guo Chongtao laughed at himself, but he felt extremely calm in his heart:
"..."
Jiang Tian didn't say anything, but picked up the tea soup that Shun Qing had brewed and filled his empty cup.
"In the following days, I was ordered to go to Xia Suiyan to patrol the border. If nothing happens to Zheng Jinwu and the others, they will also transfer their meritorious service to the Eastern Capital to take charge of the stationed guards."
Guo Chongtao then took a sip and said with relief:
"Therefore, if you need help with something urgent, you can take your credentials and go to the Xiantai Palace. Although they can't show you mercy outside the law, they can still do it for you.
This is also the promise that the teacher asked me to give you."
"Thank you."
Jiang Tian said sincerely: Compared with those all-encompassing guarantees, this kind of incomplete promise is particularly precious sincerity.
"Although your name is not mentioned in this court announcement, your actions have already been seen by some people."
Guo Chong then glanced at the side room and hesitated to speak:
"Therefore, I would like to give you some advice, whether it is people from various provinces, Wude, or the clan, it is best not to be contaminated if you can. Especially after you have taken in and sheltered the surviving one.
"
"Then I saved it, so I would like to congratulate Xiantai."
Hearing this, Jiang Tian smiled and said: Because according to the practice of the country, when a procuratorate censor of his age patrols the border, it is basically a prerequisite for promotion and transfer.
After all, the country is now surrounded by nine barbarians. They are basically all feudal princes that have been suppressed and protected by the past dynasties. It can be said that except for some barbarians who have been driven deep into the mountains, or small and medium-sized pastoral tribes who are affected by disasters every year and cannot survive the winter.
Outside of the travel tents, there are actually no decent external troubles or threats.
Therefore, what the censors who patrol the border have to face, in addition to security problems such as bandits who take risks for money, mining lords who gather in groups to illegally mine, etc., are also the wind, frost, rain and snow that are much harsher in the border areas than in Gyeonggi.
.But no matter what, after this friendship, Jiang Tian still gave corresponding blessings.
However, the next moment, Guo Chongtao stood up and said goodbye knowingly; because he had already heard the familiar drake voice. It was also someone he could neither afford to offend nor be liked; therefore, every time he saw him, he would inevitably feel bad.
The face is affected.
"Sir, are you okay?"
"Sir, I heard that you showed off your skills in the ghost market and saved many people."
"It is said that a powerful man appeared in public and killed all the rats in the ditch..."
"It was a fire dragon and it rained down swords. It's a pity that I couldn't witness it with my own eyes; it's really a pity!"
Ke Ke Ya, who was the first to catch everyone's attention, blurted out a series of barbs almost as soon as he stepped in the door. Then after seeing Jiang Tian, he looked around and suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret for your safety."
"This has nothing to do with me. I happened not to be at the scene, and I heard about it afterward. It may not be that there is no spreading of rumors."
When Jiang Tian saw this, he couldn't help but smile:
"Yes, sir, you are right."
Kodakya rolled his eyes when he heard this, and immediately echoed: He was inexplicably excited in his heart. Apparently, this great swordsman had entered the world and experienced the secrets of the mortal world, and he was the only one who knew about it.
"Sir, could you please tell me the specific situation at that time, so that I can..."
"Ajiu, don't want Meng Lang."
At this time, a cold and somewhat soft female voice suddenly came in and said: Seeing Ke Ke Ya with a face full of admiration and fascination, almost lying on the case, he immediately sat up with a grunt.
.
Then a slim figure wearing a hood appeared in the corridor of Tingliu Xiaozhu. He also rejected the maidservant who came with him, and then elegantly took off the hood that covered his face, revealing his plump lips.
She has a beautiful nose, thoughtful eyes and soft brows, and she greets softly:
"Well sir!"
"Sister."
Only then did Kodakya say hello, and then he patted his head and said quickly to Jiang Tian:
"Sister, I came here with me this time to thank you personally."
"oh……"
Jiang Tian suddenly understood: Could it be that Xiaoyao's family members came here? Sure enough, he saw this sister, who seemed to be more radiant and cheerful than when they met by chance before. She continued to speak:
"My wife's relatives are close friends of the whole family who have an important relationship with me. Thanks to my husband's generous rescue, this unfortunate incident did not cause irreparable regrets."
"Both my wife's family and my family are deeply grateful for such kindness. I am here to deliver a message. I hope that after everything is over, my husband can ask me and my family to express my gratitude in person."
The gift."
"It's overly praised. I just happened to meet him, and I can't stand it..."
Jiang Tian could not help but admire in his heart after hearing this: She is truly worthy of the upbringing of a high-class family; even a few simple words, through her mood and words, can make people feel like a spring breeze, very comfortable and at ease; neither
I don’t think Shengfen is too eager. Therefore, I don’t mind telling the siblings more specific details:
"Actually, the person you really want to thank is Pingting who snatched her out of Yi Tower."
"If she hadn't suddenly decided to risk her life to save her, and she was injured and took Xiaoyao with her, and happened to run all the way to us, then everything would have been over."
"It was precisely because of her courage that she saw the connection between me and your family on the spot, and that's why she sacrificed her life for her... and now we have become friends in adversity together."
"It turns out that it is so gratifying and congratulatory."
When the elder sister heard this, she couldn't help but feel moved; this was an inside story that Xiaoyao's family had never told. However, she looked at the man's calm and selfless expression and words that did not take any credit; but she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, such a beautiful scene,
With a mind as clear as a mirror, he is indeed an extraordinary person who transcends the world.
