Chapter 41: The Future Enemy of the Kingdom of Jin
I don't know how long it took before Xu Zizhen woke up. This was a simple cabin. Except for a small wooden bed where he was lying on and a dilapidated table by the window, there was nothing else in the room.
He sat up suddenly and found that he was naked from the waist up, his clothes were neatly folded on the bedside, and the stab wound on his shoulder had been carefully bandaged.
Xu Zizhen picked up the clothes and found that the place scratched by the knife had been sewn up. The stitches were fine and well-proportioned, obviously made by a woman. He vaguely remembered the pair of eyes he saw before he fell into coma. Was it Rong Xi?
He turned over and got out of bed, and suddenly found that the place on his chest where Hu Sihai kicked him no longer hurt, and there was only a faint purple bruise. Now he became more and more sure that it was the injury that Rong Xi treated him last time.
Adding pills allowed him to recover quickly, and it was naturally the same this time.
Xu Zizhen was so happy that he didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He opened the window and shouted outside the window: "Rong Xi! Where are you?"
There was a creaking sound, and the door was pushed open. Xu Zizhen turned his head and was about to shout out the word "Rong Xi" when the smile on his face suddenly froze.
What came in from outside the house was a middle-aged Taoist nun wearing a Taoist robe and holding a celadon bowl in her hand. She smiled slightly at Xu Zizhen: "You have just recovered from your injury, why don't you lie down for a while?"
Xu Zizhen was stunned and immediately came to his senses. He quickly pulled his clothes over and put them on, and asked urgently: "Master... Master... Where is that Taoist Priest, Rong Xi?"
He had never seen a female Taoist priest in his life, and he didn't know how to call her. He screamed incoherently, making the Taoist nun smile, but he shook his head and said: "I don't know what Rong Xi is, and there is no such person here."
.”
Xu Zizhen was anxious: "It's impossible, she was the one who saved me."
The Taoist nun smiled and said, "I'm afraid you may have remembered it wrong. It was the poor Taoist who saved you, not the Rong Xi you mentioned."
Xu Zizhen suddenly became speechless. Did I really remember it wrong? But I clearly saw those big bright eyes. Although the eyes of this female Taoist priest are not small, there are so many crow's feet there...
He secretly glanced at the Taoist nun, not believing that she had saved him. Suddenly he remembered Hu Sihai's exclamation, and he immediately realized that the bastard was so afraid of Taoist Xuanyi, could he be the one in front of him?
"Are you... Taoist Priest Xuanyi?"
The Taoist nun smiled and nodded: "Exactly."
Xu Zizhen thought for a while and then asked: "Are you very powerful?"
Xuan Yi smiled and said: "What does it mean to be awesome?"
Xu Zizhen scratched his head: "That Hu Sihai can beat me all over the place. You scared the shit out of him before you even showed up. You must be a very powerful one."
Xuan Yi heard what he said was vulgar, but he didn't mind. He smiled and said, "Young master Xu has a great talent. How can this mere trick of a poor man be so great?"
Xu Zizhen was very surprised. Recently, people keep saying that I have great talent, but where is my great talent? Why haven’t I seen it myself?
He wanted to say something more, but Xuan Yi handed over the celadon bowl in his hand: "Young Master Xu still has bruises in his body, please drink this medicine first."
Xu Zizhen took the bowl and drank it in one gulp. The concoction was bitter and unspeakable. He choked until he grinned. Xuan Yi took back the empty bowl and said with a slight smile: "Young Master cares about the suffering of the people and cares about the common people. This is a great talent. It is getting late.
It is inconvenient for me to keep you here for a long time, but I will see you again someday."
Xuan Yi issued an expulsion order, and since Rong Xi's presence was never found out, Xu Zizhen stopped staying. He asked Hua Ye's two younger brothers again and learned that they had just fainted and not died. Then he felt relieved, thanked Xuan Yi again and left here.
Just as Xu Zizhen left, the door opened and another person came in. She was wearing black clothes and a black gauze, but it was the woman in black who saved Xu Zizhen. She looked at the empty bowl in Xuan Yi's hand with a strange look and said : "Master, are you willing to give him such a good thing to drink?"
Xuan Yi glanced at her, with a meaningful smile on his lips, and said slowly: "The Kingdom of Jin is eyeing our Song Dynasty, and the Zhao family is afraid that there will be a disaster sooner or later. Although this son is lazy and rogue, he can speak clearly If you find out the secret, given time, you will become a powerful enemy of the Jin Kingdom in the future. If this is true, this little pill is nothing."
The woman in black was surprised: "Master, is he as powerful as you say?"
Xuan Yi smiled faintly: "Whether he is so powerful or not will be revealed in the future. When Last told me about it that day, I knew that this boy is extraordinary. If you have time, you have to help him secretly. , at least now this Suzhou city... is going to be in chaos."
The woman in black pondered for a moment and responded: "Yes, Master."
…
Xu Zizhen clearly remembered that he was rescued by a man in black, and he was sure that it was a young woman, but who could it be if it wasn't Rong Xi? With a lot of doubts, he returned to the government office and saw him from a distance. I saw a bunch of people standing outside the door, but if I looked carefully, it was Mo Lier and the Duan brothers, as well as Mr. Hua and Qian Tongzhi who were also there.
Mo Lier looked extremely uneasy with a worried look on her face. She saw Xu Zizhen coming from a distance and immediately ran over. Regardless of who was watching, she grabbed Xu Zizhen's hand and asked urgently: "Brother Xu, what's wrong with you? Tinghua I said you were kidnapped, which scared Li'er to death."
Xu Zizhen felt warm in his heart. Seeing that Mo Li'er was so anxious that she was about to burst into tears, he hurriedly coaxed her: "Li'er, is Brother Xu okay? Don't worry, I have my destiny, and I won't die."
Mo Lier hurriedly stretched out her hand to cover his mouth: "Brother Xu, don't say such unlucky words. You're not going to die. It won't bring bad luck."
Xu Zizhen laughed and grabbed her catkins with his backhand: "Okay, no more."
Duan Chen and a few others also came over and saw that he didn't seem to be in trouble. They were relieved. Hua Ye let out a sigh of relief and said in shock: "Brother, just be okay. Let those two boys come back and tell me." Something happened to you, and you scared me half to death."
Duan Chen also smiled bitterly and said: "If I had known that it would be so dangerous for you to go, Brother Xu, I would have asked you to take my two guards with you."
Qian Tongzhi even patted his chest and said, "Xiao Xu, you are so serious. You wish you had taken me with you."
Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "Old Qian, you can't even beat me, what can I do with you?"
Qian Tongzhi said seriously: "I can escape and find someone to rescue you."
Everyone laughed, and Xu Zizhen felt moved. After coming to the Song Dynasty, he always felt that he was alone and had no relatives. But now that he has Li'er and these friends, he is no longer alone. .
At this time, a person quickly ran out of the gate. It was Jin Yuxi, the young catcher. When he saw Xu Zizhen here, he was overjoyed and shouted from a distance: "Brother Xu, you are here. I am looking for you everywhere." If you can’t come, I’ll let you pass.”
What did Mr. Wen want to do with me again? Didn't he say that he would give me two days off? Xu Zizhen was stunned, but he still greeted everyone and hurried to the inner hall.
It was already dark, and the study room in the inner hall was brightly lit with candles. Magistrate Wen was sitting at the desk in casual clothes. When he saw Xu Zizhen arriving, he asked with concern: "Zizhen, are you injured again?"
Xu Zizhen was very surprised. He was injured in that broken place. There was no ghost around him. How could Mr. Wen know about it so quickly?
"Oh, it's fine now. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Seeing that his face was rosy and he really didn't look like something was wrong, Magistrate Wen was relieved. He nodded and waved for him to sit down, and then said in a deep voice: "Zizhen, do you know why so many calamities have happened in Suzhou City recently?"
Human incident?”
Seeing his solemn expression, Xu Zizhen was stunned and said: "Isn't he a human trafficker?"
Magistrate Wen sneered: "If that's the case, that's fine. The most we can do is spend some energy to destroy that gang."
Xu Zizhen heard that there was something in his words and asked curiously: "Sir, do you know what's going on?"
Magistrate Wen looked gloomy and said coldly: "This is someone who specially came to the south of the Yangtze River to collect beauties to send to the north...the Kingdom of Jin!"
"Ah!" A bright light suddenly flashed in Xu Zizhen's mind, yes, how could I forget this?
