The next day, soldiers of Sanqin Pass stepped on the muddy road and searched for Zhang Qingmeng and the others in the morning sun. Everyone knew that even a corpse or a finger bone was enough to be granted a marquis and rewarded by themselves. For this goal, even swords and seas of fire cannot resist.
The veteran Zuo Wen held a tiger's roaring in the desert gun and said angrily: "That golden-armored boy, if it weren't for the thunder that shocked my horse, how could he ask him to escape?" Qiu Fei had no choice but to laugh and persuade: "It's been done." At this point, even if you have a lot of troubles, you can't help it. The first priority is to find Zhang Qingmeng, even if it's a corpse..."
Zuo Wen sighed and walked through the quagmire along the stones. Everyone did not dare to neglect and followed the old general's path.
At this time, a barefoot soldier ran over in the mud and said in sweat: "Old...Old...Old...Old General..."
"Why are you old? If you have something to say!" Zuo Wen glared at the soldier. The soldier was frightened and trembled with his legs, saying, "Old General, although our brothers did not find Zhang Qingmeng, they found four suspicious people. The general considers it.”
Qiu Fei took over the conversation: "Now Sanqin Mountain is at the time of martial law. Who is so brave and dares to appear in the mountains? According to my opinion, it is better to report to the Prime Minister."
When saying this, several soldiers came over with long spears in their hands and escorted four commoners. Zuo Wen instructed the people beside him: "The Prime Minister has a word first, Zhang Qingmeng is tall and handsome. You should check it carefully!"
The four people happened to be a man and a woman, an old and a young man. Everyone took the lead in looking at the tall man: his face was ugly, his eyes were bloated and vulgar, and he had a few pustules on his forehead, which made people feel disgusted.
The woman said she was young, but she looked old and had a rough and wrinkled face. The most terrifying thing was that she was still a hard beard! Someone couldn't help but vomited it on the spot.
The old man and the child were normal, and even the little boy was a little pretty, which was difficult to make people suspicious. Qiu Fei looked contemptuous and sued Zuo Wen: "The man and woman looked ugly and had a tall figure, but they were so annoying, because they were early. Send them away!”
When Zuo Wen heard this, he went to examine it himself. Sure enough, he did not match what the Prime Minister said about Zhang Qingmeng. However, to be on the safe side, he still asked the old man tentatively: "You don't know that the court's ban on Sanqin Mountain is not allowed to enter and exit, so why are you traveling today?"
The old man grinned and asked, "General, this old man has been away for more than 40 years, why don't he let him go today?"
"Now, Zheng thief Zhang Qingmeng fled in the mountains. We are under the orders of the prime minister and guard against the court. We are strictly guarding the enemy. You are a vague person, so you are not allowed to enter and exit at will!" Zuo Wen yelled in dissatisfaction.
The old man pinched his fingers, calculated for a while, and then said confidently: "The general is so confused. Mr. Zhao had abscess on his back the day before yesterday. He ordered the old man to go to treat it as soon as possible. Today, the medicine is all ready, but I will not wait for it. If it is toxic, Dafa is life-threatening, the old man's life is not guaranteed!"
Zuo Wen looked confused. Why didn't he hear that Zhang Wenbo had abscess on his back? He asked the people beside him and the answer was consistent. In this way, he returned with confidence: "Since you said that, I will take you." Go to see Mr. Zhao, but if you dare to make any false statement, you will take the lives of the four of you immediately!"
"The old man has no slander, please try it out." The old man was not afraid and had a firm expression.
Qiu Fei looked at the other three people: "What's wrong? Could these three be the medicine leads?"
"The general is joking, how can he use people as a medicine guide! This man and woman are my son and daughter-in-law, and are born with intellectual defects. Although this young grandson is smart and well-behaved, he is still worried about staying alone at home, so he brings everything, so he should not let him go.
You have to be accustomed to it." The old man explained.
Qiu Fei sneered and said, "This baby is so beautiful, is it really him?" Someone said again: "These two ugly things are quite like a couple!" It made everyone laugh. The man laughed a little.
Angry and was about to rush forward, the woman quietly pulled the corner of his clothes and gave up.
Qiu Fei led the army to continue searching, while Zuo Wen brought some people and tied the four people together with ropes, and rode back to Sanqin Pass on horseback. The person who handled political affairs in Duke Zhao's mansion was Prime Minister Xiao Lu.
Zuo Wen placed the four people outside, walked in and gave a tribute to him. After saying that, he asked about Zhang Wenbo. Xiao Lu was shocked at first, and then replied incredibly: "The old general is really well-informed, and Mr. Zhao has indeed given birth to him.
The abscess, but the doctor who invited me has not arrived yet..."
After the incident was confirmed, Zuo Wen believed it seven minutes later and brought the four people to the mansion: "Report to the Prime Minister, these four people claimed to be the doctors invited. Have you seen it?"
Xiao Lu raised his chin and the corners of his mouth gradually rose: "Of course, let me meet this doctor."
Under the urging of the soldiers, the old man rushed into the mansion with a swagger, while the man, woman and the child followed carefully, nervous.
"Oh?" Xiao Lu walked down the stairs: "Why did the old doctor practice medicine, why did he bring three assistants?"
The old man brought what he said to Zuo Wen intact. After hearing this, Xiao Lu laughed faintly and walked towards the man with a hunched back.
"What's your name?" Xiao Lu stared at the man's eyes and asked tentatively. The man's eyes were dazed and tried his best to avoid it, but Xiao Lu grabbed his hand: "Why are you panic?
Not to kill you.”
The old man hurried over and explained hurriedly: "This is a dog, Li Gua. He is ill and does not know etiquette. He only has children's thoughts. I hope you don't blame me..."
"This is the Prime Minister sent by the court!" Zuo Wen shouted.
"Oh!" The old man was shocked and quickly pulled the three of them to kneel down. Xiao Lu held his hands behind his back and said with a sneer: "I guess you are also a person in the mountains. I wonder if you saw someone riding a horse into the forest last night.
, If you know, come from reality!”
The old man shook his head hurriedly: "Prime Minister! The rainstorm last night was pouring. Old man, I only care about prescriptions and medicines. How could anyone ever see someone enter the forest?"
"You don't know, right..." Xiao Lu closed his mouth and carefully looked at the man's whole body. The man was frightened, like a little rabbit hiding in his arms, afraid of being caught.
Xiao Lu always felt that this man had seen him somewhere. Although his face was so ugly, his figure gave him a familiar feeling. At this time, he was frantically searching in his mind about what prominent characteristics Zhang Qingmeng had.
"Swish!" Xiao Lu suddenly pulled off the man's sleeve and found a red birthmark on his right arm, which was Zhang Qingmeng's body! The man was indeed Zhang Qingmeng. When his birthmark was discovered by Xiao Lu,
There was a sensation of despair in my heart.
"It's over... I'm going to die here today..." Qingmeng closed her eyes and thought so. Xiao Lu smiled wickedly and said to everyone: "Oh! It's so rude. He accidentally pulled his sleeves.
I will never treat you badly. Please follow me and change your clothes!" After saying that, I walked into the inner room with Qingmeng's hand, leaving only people full of doubt waiting in the mansion.
Kingfisher chirping on the trees, and the damp smell hit the inner room with the window, mixing the fragrance of books to make people feel more anxious. Xiao Lu changed into silk clothes for Qingmeng, looking at Qingmeng, which was far taller than himself, and clicked on it.
Head smiled and said, "Mengzi, you can't hide your birthmark from me..."
"What Mengzi... I don't understand what you are saying..." Qingmeng trembled all over. He already understood that his identity was exposed and everything he did was just a cover-up.
Xiao Lu slowly stretched out his hand. What did he want to do? Qingmeng knew nothing and was at a loss that he had to close his eyes tightly to face the sudden move.
He didn't expect that his head would be gently stroked, just like a gentle and kind elder touched his head. He was in panic and didn't know why.
"Don't hide it from my senior brother. Your red birthmark cannot be changed. To be honest, are you?"
"Yes..." Qingmeng's voice was extremely low, but she was like a child who did something wrong. He always regarded Xiao Lu as his enemy, but he didn't expect that the other party would still regard him as a child, which made him feel guilty.
Xiao Lu smiled faintly: "Boy, do you really want to harm you for your brother? You and I have been together since childhood and have long regarded you as your brother. Why did you make such a fuss? Today you lost, so go back quickly
.I find a way to deal with the imperial court, go and go!"
Qingmeng really didn't expect that Xiao Lu not only did not kill him, but instead treated him like a child. Thinking about how stupid he was before, he wanted to find a place to get in.
"Senior Brother..." Qingmeng was a little embarrassed and took out something from her arms: "This... is my portable jade pendant... If you don't dislike it..."
Xiao Lu stood up slightly and pretended to be happy: "How could Brother Wei dislike me? When you see the jade pendant beside you, it's like you are by your side. Brother Wei will definitely cherish it carefully. There is not much time left, please bring that
Let the three of you go.”
Qingmeng wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded slightly, walked out of the inner room reluctantly, looking at Xiao Lu's kind expression, but just sobbing silently.
Afterwards, Li Liulang treated Zhang Wenbo and prescribed a prescription. Under Xiao Lu's instruction, he left Sanqin Pass openly and fled to Guan Lang Army's headquarters. The simple Qingmeng really regarded Xiao Lu as
Senior brother, it’s a pity that he thought the other party was too kind.
Late at night, Xiao Lu held a jade pendant and soaked his feet in hot water. The servant next to him stood and stared at the jade pendant.
Xiao Lu glanced at me with his eyes, then understood and stretched: "You have been serving me for so long. My true minister is considering how to reward you. What do you think?"
"It is really a blessing for the villain to serve the prime minister in three lives. How dare you have other unreasonable thoughts?" The servant said this, but his eyes never looked away from the jade pendant.
Xiao Lu sneered and turned his jade pendant to him without any concern: "I'm giving this little thing to you!"
The servant hurriedly reached out to pick it up and almost fell to the ground! The sudden reward made him ecstatic, but he was still worried: "Prime Minister, isn't this jade pendant the most important thing for you?"
"How important can a jade pendant be? If you don't want it, you can send it back!"
The servant quickly thanked him, bowed his waist wildly, and after receiving Xiao Lu's order, he turned around and left. Xiao Lu sat in the same place, thinking: "Mengzi is too naive. The reason why Your Majesty valued me is because of your existence.
If you die, won’t the four major families in the capital take away my foreigner who has no power and no background? Don’t worry now, let’s sell your favors for the time being, and wait until everything is settled in the back..."
