Chapter 35: Fighting with poison(1/2)
The night is as cool as water.
Wu Jingmo took Tian Zifang and a group of soldiers and rode through the ten-mile long street again, galloping all the way to Prince Mian's Xifu in the west of the city.
As soon as he entered the palace, he hurriedly reported to Prince Mian and Princess the progress of the interrogation of the prisoners, and then hurried towards Lu Chengfeng's room.
I don’t know how injured Chengfeng Xiandi is? Has he woken up?
Wu Jingmo's heart was burning with anxiety and worry.
"Brother, why are you here?"
Seeing Lu Chengfeng, he was lying on the bed leisurely, holding a small book of unknown meaning in his hand. The gloomy clouds in Wu Jingmo's heart suddenly dissipated half of the sky.
"You! You really make me anxious!"
Seeing that he was safe and sound, Wu Jingmo breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Don't worry, I'm just an invincible little strongman, a mere little killer from the Western Regions. He can't kill his grandfather and me!"
Lu Chengfeng patted his chest proudly and said.
"Hey! Junior brother is exaggerating again! You are so shameless, and you are showing off your power in front of their scholars."
While the two were talking, Zhui Feng stepped in from the door carrying a thick golden copper basin.
"Hey, Zhui Feng, I don't want to lose face."
Lu Chengfeng rolled his eyes and said.
"Okay, you can! Wash your feet yourself! Don't let me do it!"
Zhuifeng placed the golden copper basin on the ground beside Lu Chengfeng's bed, put his hands on his hips, and looked like a yaksha guarding a prisoner, fierce and serious.
"Wash your feet? I won't! Zhui Feng! Just let me go! My little senior brother..."
There were times when Lu Chengfeng was scared, and he acted coquettishly towards Zhui Feng in front of Wu Jingmo without any shame.
Wu Jingmo was so surprised that he couldn't laugh or cry, but Zhui Feng gloated and clapped his hands and said:
"Come on, come on! Put your feet in! The royal doctor said that your wound must be soaked in his herbal soup every two hours to detoxify and suppurate, reduce swelling and relieve pain. It's all for your own good. What's there to be afraid of?
Woolen cloth?"
As Zhui Feng said this, he rolled up his sleeves and grabbed Lu Chengfeng's legs and ankles, making a gesture of pressing them into the pot of steaming soup.
"Hey, hey, hey! It hurts me to death! I'll just apply the chalcedony ointment made by my master. I don't want to soak in this stuff! Just let me go, Zhui Feng!"
Lu Chengfeng's legs struggled desperately in Zhui Feng's hands, but they were still no match for Zhui Feng's strength, and his legs were heavily pulled down by him.
"You haven't even touched the water yet! You're just yelling! Are you a man? Do you want me to take a mirror and look at you to see what you look like now?"
Zhui Feng curled his lips with disdain and increased the strength of his hands.
After all, Lu Chengfeng's feet could not escape the fate of being soaked in water.
The soup seemed to have a magical effect. As soon as his toes touched the surface of the water, the steaming water in the basin suddenly seemed to be boiling by fire, steaming out.
A large cloud of water vapor soon smoked Lu Chengfeng's injured ankle red and white.
However, the water in the basin turned black and red in an instant, and there was an unpleasant smell of blood, like a monster suddenly opening its bottomless bloody mouth.
"What kind of strange soup is this made from herbs? It looks so weird!"
Wu Jingmo couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, it's the herbal medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor. It's similar to the ingredients of the golden sore medicine. However, I added a few small pills made by our Piyun Valley master sect into it."
Zhui Feng said with a relaxed expression without thinking.
"Is it Centipede Pill? I just said it feels like a needle prick and it feels burning and painful! Chai Feng, you! Hmph!"
Lu Chengfeng's eyes widened and he turned away angrily, unwilling to pay attention to Zhuifeng.
His face was grimacing in pain, and his expression was quite ridiculous.
Wu Jingmo couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"Brother Chengfeng, the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Your little senior brother must be doing it for your own good!"
"You are a sensible person!"
Zhui Feng gave Wu Jingmo a thumbs up and praised.
He turned around and patted Lu Chengfeng's shoulder hard with his big hand, winked at him and said:
"How's it going? Young Master, my method of using poison to fight poison is as effective as Third Senior Brother, right? If I hadn't added Biyun Valley's secret centipede pills, how do you think your pig's trotters could have recovered so quickly?
ah?"
Lu Chengfeng reluctantly shook off Zhui Feng's big hand on his shoulder, and asked Wu Jingmo pitifully for help:
"Brother! You came just in time, look at him!"
Wu Jingmo couldn't help but burst out laughing:
"Brother Chengfeng turns out to be a coquettish person! I thought you were always the young man who chases the wind and rides the wind and waves fearlessly!"
"Wrong! Master, I am chasing the wind!"
Zhui Feng couldn't help but tease after hearing this.
"Fuck you! Who doesn't know who?"
Lu Chengfeng glanced sideways at Zhuifeng and said.
"Brother, haven't you been studying hard behind closed doors in recent days to prepare for the Spring Festival? What happened to disturb you to come here? If it was just to see me, then I would be moved to tears."
Lu Chengfeng tilted his head and joked to Wu Jingmo, half jokingly and half seriously.
The eldest brother attaches great importance to the Spring Festival on February 2 this year. The emperor also has ardent hopes for him and rewarded him with a gold pen with wolf cents.
After ten years of hard work, this last critical stage was supposed to be just the last minute, and he should go all out, but he didn't expect that he would distract him from his work. What a sin!
Lu Chengfeng was thinking in his heart, so he could only pretend to be relaxed.
As a confidant, Wu Jingmo had already seen through Lu Chengfeng's thoughts, and hurriedly stroked his smart head gently, and said with an aunty smile like that of an elder:
"That's natural."
These four light words fell into Lu Chengfeng's heart, but the friendship they carried was worth two thousand catties of gold.
"This should be Mr. Xiao Wu of Jingzhao Mansion, Mr. Wu Jingmo and Mr. Wu, whom Junior Brother often talks about, right?"
Zhui Feng had already guessed who it was, so he leaned forward, cupped his fists and saluted Wu Jingmo.
"That's right! Say hello to Junior Brother Zhui Feng."
Wu Jingmo has no faults in his words and deeds, and is extremely polite and courteous to anyone outside of Lu Chengfeng.
"Hey! Brother, you still follow me and call him Senior Brother? Come on, he is younger than me! Just call him Zhui Feng!"
Seeing how humble he was, Lu Chengfeng suddenly interrupted and said with a naughty smile.
"Okay, little brother Zhui Feng, I heard that you were the one who rescued Brother Chengfeng and returned home when the crime occurred last night. Can you tell me in detail what happened at the time of the crime?"
Wu Jingmo continued what he had just said in his mouth and asked.
"It is said that the killer is a member of the cult in the Western Regions. He is highly skilled in martial arts and extremely ruthless! I just told you that when he flicked his soul-stealing scorpion whip, most people would
He lost half his life! It’s a pity that he met me, a master of the world. At that time, I just hit him like a flying star, and I beat him until his pee was all over the floor and his teeth..."
Zhui Feng touched half of his eyebrows in a sultry manner and began to show off his martial arts skills to Wu Jingmo, a scholar outside the world.
Seeing his smug and arrogant expression, Lu Chengfeng quickly interrupted:
"Fuck you! Are you still an unparalleled master? Yesterday, if Ye Wushuang hadn't suddenly appeared to rescue him and used a big move - Heavy Rain Sun Seizing Sword, I really couldn't tell who was looking for him all over the ground.
Tooth yet!"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
When Zhui Feng was exposed, he rolled his eyes angrily and cursed.
"What did you say? Wushuang? Wushuang saved you!"
When Wu Jingmo heard her name, his heart palpitated and he asked loudly.
Zhui Feng nodded honestly and recounted what happened to Wu Jingmo in detail.
"It's strange. The fourth son of the Cao Gang confessed that he didn't ask the man to kill you, but just ordered him to beat you up to teach you a lesson."
Wu Jingmo scratched the back of his head and said confused.
"Brother has caught the mastermind?"
When Lu Chengfeng heard what he said, his eyes lit up, he straightened his body and sat up, and asked hurriedly.
"Well, the fourth child said that Tang Burn asked him to do it, but because of your status as the emperor's grandson, he didn't dare to let you die on the street, nor did he dare to take action himself. He said he only hired someone to put a sack on you and beat you up.
"
Wu Jingmo recalled Lao Si's witness testimony in detail, and his sincerity seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
"How is that possible! Could it be that he just made a random excuse to get away with it! He mobilized so many troops and mobilized so many troops to chase and intercept us, just to give me a few punches? Isn't he talking about something?
