The hair is like goosegrass, and the face is as yellow as beeswax.
Liu Carpenter lay in bed for several days, barely eating any water or rice, and relied on a bowl of old ginseng soup every day to keep his energy up.
At this time, the wind, heat and poison were gone, the muscles and tendons all over the body were fully open, and the eyes were full of energy. Immediately recalling the various situations where Wang Bing had been treating them with all their strength and everyone in the Qin family had been taking care of them in the past few days, I couldn't help but get excited and struggled to get up.
Thank you.
Acting leader Wang Bing knew what he was thinking and hurriedly held back: "Brother Liu, there is no need to be polite! Yang Shaoxia used to be my Zoroastrian friend, and now he is my Zoroastrian guest and protector. The brothers he brought will naturally be my Zoroastrian disciples."
My brother! Besides, I have been practicing medicine for many years, how can I bear to see someone die without saving him?"
Shuangyue Dharma Protector Li Xiaoman also followed and said: "Brother Liu, you can rest assured and take care of me here. Once you apply for it, you will be supported by the Qin family. Xiaoman has some academic affairs to take care of recently, so I can't come to see you all the time. How about you?"
Don’t be surprised!”
Carpenter Liu's chest heaved, his eyes were red, and his voice was hollow: "Liu is very lucky to have made good friends and met a good doctor... Even though he is not a religious person, if he is called upon one day, he will definitely die in repayment!"
Wang Bing nodded slightly and was about to say a few more words, but he heard the sound of a woman crying from outside the guest room. He couldn't help but look at Xiaoman and said: "Shuangyue, go and see what happened? Which female family member of the Qin family is crying in sadness?"
We, the family members, have been very troubled by living in the Qin Mansion for a long time. If brother Tianji and his family are in trouble, if we don't care about it and don't ask, wouldn't it chill people's hearts?"
When Xiaoman heard this, he put his hands together and saluted: "Magu!"
Without hesitation, he ran out of the room.
In front of the Qin Mansion Hall, under the parasol tree, a maidservant with muddy hair was kneeling on the bricks, waving her sleeves to wipe her tears. Opposite the maidservant, Yuexi Zi Qinqing looked worried but at a loss for the moment.
The maid cried and said: "Miss Qin! Please think of a way to save my sixth lady! Well, that bitch from Yuan Mansion has gone too far... They had surrounded the Cui Mansion a few days ago. Except for Master Cui Lu,
There are only a limited number of people including Cui Da, the chief steward, and almost no one in the house is allowed to come and go at will!
Xiao Ping... Xiao Ping still took advantage of the slackness of those dogs and took advantage of the opportunity to go to the toilet. She found a dog hole and managed to get out... Xiao Ping first ran to Yongtai Fang and then found out that Miss Qin's house was
Up and down, everyone moved to the old house, and then turned around again, and even lost one of their shoes... Wuwu!"
Qin Qing hurriedly helped Xiao Ping up, took out the fragrant handkerchief, wiped away the mud and tears on her face, and then said softly: "Sister Xiao Ping, don't be anxious, please speak slowly. Why are the eagles and dogs of Yuan Mansion surrounding you?"
Qin Mansion, aren't the two surnames about to become in-laws?"
Xiao Ping also knew that she was being disrespectful, so she hurriedly bowed and said with sobs: "My master actually loves Miss Sixth the most... A few days ago, my master went to see Yuan Xiang and wanted to delay the marriage.
Then I tried to find a way to get the two families to break off the engagement.
Perhaps Yuan Xiang discovered his intention, and then more than a dozen heroic troops came, leading Yuan's servants to guard the courtyard, and forced their way into Qin's mansion... Not only did they guard several side doors, they were also slightly shorter.
There are also manpower arranged under the courtyard wall.
Now the entire Qin Mansion is surrounded like an iron barrel. Especially Miss Six's courtyard is more like an iron prison... Taoist Priest Yuan Yizi has come here several times before and had long talks with him in the teahouse.
I'm worried about the lady.
Since the house has been surrounded, even regular visitors such as Taoist Priest Yuan Yizi are not allowed to enter. For fear that they will cooperate with each other and rescue Miss Six... Miss Six might as well be looking at Xiao Ping these days. She has already committed suicide several times. If
If this continues, I don’t know how many days she can survive..."
After hearing this, Qin Qing gritted his silver teeth and said, "This traitor! He really covers the sky with one hand and deceives others too much! Doesn't the Cui Mansion have a 'mountain feather guard'? Why not compete with those hawks and dogs?"
"
Xiao Ping said with a sad expression: "Is it Cui Jiu and the others that Miss Qin is talking about? They are indeed loyal and brave, and they came with everyone that day... It's just that I have an official position, so I don't dare to fall out with Yuan Xiang, and I don't want to offend Yingwu.
The people behind the army therefore scolded Cui Jiu and the others..."
It suddenly dawned on Qin Qing that Cui Shibo had finally turned a blind eye and tolerated it, only to be deceived by Yuan Zai.
Thinking of this, Tan Qingming's eyes darkened slightly: "Qing'er will go back to Linji Temple now, call more sisters, and rescue Sister Cui at night!"
After that, he persuaded Xiao Ping, "Sister Xiao Ping, it's not easy for you to take the risk and come out to report the news. Just stay in my house first, eat, wash and give orders to the servants in the house. Qing'er
I will protect you."
Unexpectedly, although Xiao Ping was born weak and frail, she shook her head and said stubbornly: "Xiao Ping is just a maidservant. Without the care of the six young ladies and sisters, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to live safely until today. I sneaked out today and spent a while.
, it will not be discovered.
But tomorrow morning, those losers who are guarding outside Miss Six's courtyard will definitely become suspicious if they don't see me again, and they are afraid that it will lead to another turmoil... Miss Six has almost given up her life, and if she is provoked by these losers again,
There’s no guarantee that he won’t do anything stupid again!”
Tan Qing wanted to persuade her again. At this moment, Xiao Man, who was hiding aside, finally came out and said, "Girl Tan, please don't act rashly. I think what Sister Xiao Ping said is very reasonable! Although Yuan Zai is evil,
, but he is also a very face-conscious person. It would be strange if he knew that Cui Mansion intended to regret the marriage but did nothing.
Just before, you and Mr. Yang were kidnapped by the Cui Mansion's "Shan Ling Guards". I went into the Cui Mansion with your father at night to look for the traces of you two. I am quite familiar with the pattern of the Cui Mansion. Why don't you let me follow you first?
Sister Xiaoping, how about taking a trip to find out what is going on in the Cui Mansion, and come back to discuss it with you?"
Tan Qing knew that she was good at martial arts and good at changing situations. After pondering for a long time, she nodded hesitantly: "Now it seems that this is the only way. Since my master Yuan Yizi knows about this matter, he will not sit idly by and do nothing. Qing'er should return to Lin first.
Ji Guan, so that people in the house won't talk too much. If Sister Xiaoman is gone, you can come to Lin Ji Guan to look for me."
Seeing that the stars were getting brighter and the dusk was getting darker, Xiao Man said no more, immediately took the hand of his maid Xiao Ping and went to the Qin Mansion.
The crescent moon is halfway up, and the eaves are trying to cover it up.
Outside the side courtyard of Cui Mansion, Qin Yanbiao, the Yingwu Military Colonel and one of the "Double Eagles of Nanya", leaned against the rocks on the rockery and held a wooden wine cup in his hand, taking a sip from time to time to relieve the boredom of the long night.
There were two heroic guards around, pressing the hilts of their swords with their hands, leading the yawning Yuanfu servants to guard the courtyard and patrol around the small courtyard in the west wing. Mosquitoes gradually became rampant and began to hum in the ears, disturbing people.
It was so annoying that some people even spread their anger in the pond, picked up rocks, and scattered the frogs among the lotus leaves.
The doors and windows of the west wing were closed, and the lights shone through the window screens, bringing a touch of warmth to the cool night.
However, a silhouette of Pingting was pacing back and forth in the room, looking very anxious. The beautiful silhouette was also printed on the window screen, making a group of servants swallow their saliva:
"Our third young master really has good taste! This figure, this waist... tsk tsk! Even a god wouldn't do it!"
"He Laoba! What nonsense are you talking about again?! When this young lady passes through the door, we have to call the third young lady. If you dare to talk like this then, the third young master will kill you!"
"Brother Miao Wu, don't be so prude! Tell me, how long has it been since our brothers came to this Cui Mansion to eat meat? That chrysanthemum picker girl from Wenwenfang may not recognize you anymore, hehe!"
"He Laoba, you bitch! Don't forget that this little lady has some skills. If she hears your unreasonable words, she will beat you up, but it will be in vain! Humph!"
"Just kidding, haha! Brother Miao Wu, please don't take it seriously. It's worth waiting for. How about I treat you to a drink?"
"Yeah, that's pretty much it!"
"..."
The chatter outside the hospital naturally failed to reach the room.
Hua Xizi and Cui Wan walked around for a while, but finally her legs and feet felt tired, so she sat down in front of the desk under the window, her eyes full of sorrow and sadness:
As early as a few days ago, shortly after she used a trick to drive away the monk, Chong Lingzi and Junior Sister Qin, who were captured by her father, were finally rescued. Then one day, her father suddenly changed his mind and no longer banned her.
After leaving the house, he also said that he would find a safe way to break off the engagement with the Yuan family.
She was so happy that she immediately left the house to look for Chong Lingzi. However, she searched for several days and traveled through most of Luoyang City, but she could not find any trace of him! It was not until the first day of April that Yang Shaoxia, Chong Lingzi, came to him.
The news about the mediation between Taiwei Palace and Zoroastrianism spread rapidly in Luoyang City. After hearing the news, she went to find him again, but she came back disappointed.
I thought I would have a chance to look for him again, but it didn't last long. The treacherous prime minister Yuan Zai came to the capital of God with his wife and servants at some unknown time, and invited his father to a banquet. Who knew that the two of them were at the banquet that night?
After saying something, her father returned home disappointed in the middle of the night. At noon of the next day, those disgusting-looking heroic soldiers and servants of the Yuan Mansion forced her to stay here, and she was not allowed to leave the house again...
"Snapped!"
The lanterns exploded on the short lantern, frightening Cui Wan to the point of trembling in his heart. More than half an hour ago, Xiao Ping, the personal maid, escaped from the dog hole on the pretext of going to the toilet and reported to her Junior Sister Qin.
However, until now, Xiao Ping still has not come back. It is not known whether she was captured by the gangsters of Yuan Mansion or encountered other accidents. Xiao Ping has been with her for many years, and apart from a few senior sisters in Lin Ji Guan, they are her closest friends.
When someone is suddenly no longer around to serve you, it feels like there is something missing in your heart. It feels empty and it is hard to find peace.
The reason why she chose to ask Junior Sister Tan for help was because last time Uncle Tan Shishu suddenly visited and told her that she knew the other identity of Luocheng’s imperial merchant Tan Xiangchu - the Zoroastrian Tianji Dharma Protector. And the grudge between Zoroastrianism and Taiwei Palace, Luoyang City
Almost everyone, women and children, knew that Wang Jin, the envoy of Taiwei Palace, used ruthless tactics one after another, almost destroying the Tan family!
In addition, Wang Jin and Yuan Zai were colluding together and engaged in many exploits and raids, which caused many resentments among Hu merchants in the two capitals. Zoroastrianism was also involved, and they often fought secretly with Wang Jin and Yuan Zai's Lu Ming.
In view of this, this time Cui Mansion was bullied by Yuan Zai. If she appealed to the Qin family, she might be able to win sympathy and invite Zoroastrian masters to save her. If not, she would have to take her own life...
Just as I was thinking like this, I suddenly heard a noise in the night outside the window, and I couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that Xiao Ping had already come back, but they caught her and showed her face? If that was the case, how should I defend myself so that I could "exonerate" Xiao Ping?
And back?
My heart suddenly became a mess, and even the lights in front of me became dazzling.
"Bang!"
The window sash was suddenly knocked open, and two black shadows rolled in and fell to the ground.
This sudden change made Cui Wan take a few steps back in shock. He grabbed a feather duster, pointed at the two black figures with his hand, and shouted: "Who dares to make trouble!"
Two black figures had already climbed up, patted the dust on their bodies, and one of them replied with a cry:
