Su San wondered: "I know a little about what happened that day. The golden dog didn't attack with fire. How could Lu Ying be burned like this?"
Lu Qing paused, his fists gradually clenched, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Lu was lucky enough to escape that day and found us immediately. He said that there was something fishy about this matter. There must be spies in the Hebei Rebel Army, so he wanted to investigate the matter thoroughly.
, but there were not a few people who knew him, so he...he jumped into the furnace and burned himself to this state."
"Brother Lu is the only one among us who is extremely intelligent, and no one can match him. It is understandable that he should investigate the spies, but Brother Lu..."
When he said this, he was so choked up that he couldn't speak any more. Su San covered her mouth with her hands and burst into tears. Although Xu Zizhen couldn't move, his body was still shaking involuntarily.
How much courage does it take to kill yourself with fire?
Lu Qing calmed down and continued talking. He had the most contact with Lu Ying, so he was the one who knew the reason best.
After Lu Ying committed suicide, he transformed into a remnant of the former Liao Dynasty. He looked like he was living in seclusion in the mountains somewhere. His original plan was to return to Zhending Mansion after his burns healed, and he could use his previous connections to remain unnoticed.
Sneaking into the Jin camp as a handyman, he slowly made inquiries, but what he didn't expect was that before he recovered from his injury, he met a person - Mo Jingxia.
Mo Jingxia had just come out of Zhending at that time. Due to his failure in hiding in Prince Yun's Mansion, Wu Shu thought it was most appropriate to let him go to Bianjing. This time, the target chosen was the fourth prince of the Song Dynasty, namely Jing Xia.
Wang Zhaoqi.
What's more coincidental is that Zhao Qi and Wang Fu came to Daming Mansion at this time. In order to prepare for the next round of peace talks with the Jin Kingdom, Mo Jingxia easily found a job under Zhao Qi with Wushu's connections.
When he was about to take office, he accidentally discovered Lu Ying in the mountains.
Lu Ying was proficient in Khitan. After chatting with him for a few words, Mo Jingxia did not suspect him, so he accepted him as a follower. This old fox was very suspicious and usually he would never use it to strangers, but Lu Ying
His acting skills are very good. From Mo Jingxia's perspective, he is just an honest, dull and hard-working remnant Khitan soldier who can be discarded at any time.
Xu Zizhen also knew what happened next. In order to confirm Lu Ying's identity again, Mo Jingxia deliberately asked him to torture Xu Zizhen all night. After three days, he finally completely believed Lu Ying, and it seemed that he wanted to bring Lu Ying back.
I will definitely take it for my own use.
Xu Zizhen understood why he didn't even know where he was being imprisoned, but Lu Qingmitang was able to know the news so quickly and carry out the rescue. Unfortunately, everything should have been fine, but it happened in the hands of Mo Jingxia, an old fox.
An accident.
Looking at Lu Ying's completely cold body on the stone, Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth and swore silently that if he could recover from his injuries, he would find him even if he spent his whole life and cut him into pieces to avenge Lu Ying!
In addition, Lu Ying's lurking was very successful, but it was a pity that he only happened to save Xu Zizhen. He did not have time to find out who the spy on Hebei Road was.
Mi Tang and Lu Qing were both in a low mood. Xu Zizhen suddenly said: "I will find this spy, and I will chop him up with Mo Laogou when the time comes."
His voice was not high and his speaking speed was not fast, but his words were filled with firm determination.
Mi Tang and Lu Qing nodded silently, but their eyes showed worry.
They had worked with Xu Zizhen before and had no doubts about his ability. However, Xu Zizhen's current situation was really not optimistic. He only said a few words, but his face was frighteningly white, and his teeth were clenched.
, clearly enduring unspeakable pain.
The two looked at each other and exchanged a few words in a low voice. Then Mi Tang suggested that Lu Ying's body should be cremated first, because the Lu family's ancestral tomb was outside Zhending City, and going to the burial site would definitely alarm the Jin people, and there was no time now.
To do this, it is better to cremate and store the ashes here temporarily, and hold a grand funeral when there is a chance in the future.
A pile of firewood was set up, and Lu Ying's body gradually dissipated in the blazing fire. Xu Zizhen lay on the stone bed and watched from a distance, feeling a breath rushing through his chest, as if he was looking for an outlet to vent.
The breath accumulated more and more, and finally, Xu Zizhen felt a sweetness in his throat, spit out a mouthful of blood, and then rolled his eyes and passed out.
I don't know how long it took, Xu Zizhen woke up leisurely, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting beside the stone bed, with three fingers on his wrist, his face solemn and silent.
Lu Qing went somewhere unknown. Accompanying him were Su San and Mi Tang. They all looked at the old man nervously, but no one noticed Xu Zizhen's awakening.
Xu Zizhen did not disturb them and listened to their conversation with his eyes slightly closed.
After a while, the old man's fingers left his veins, and Mi Tang quickly asked: "Master Zeng, how is Brother Xu's injury? Is there any way to save him?"
Master Zeng hesitated for a moment and then said: "This little brother was seriously injured internally, and he will not be able to recover after countless months of rest and recovery. And if that's all it is, he is also poisoned in the body."
Su San and Mi Tang asked anxiously: "Can that be solved?"
Master Zeng sighed softly: "I am ashamed, I have never seen this poison before, let alone say anything about the solution."
With a bang, Su San fell to the ground, her face as pale as paper, her eyes full of disbelief, and two lines of tears rolled down and fell on her clothes.
Mi Tang also sat down on the stone bed with dull eyes, unable to say a word.
Xu Zizhen heard this so clearly that his heart sank.
Is this how I died? And I can’t even die so simply, I have to wait for the poisonous hair to slowly die?
Master Zeng sighed again and said: "Although this little brother has taken the antidote, I guess he was seriously injured when he took the medicine, and the poison has penetrated deep into his organs. Therefore, the antidote can only control it for a while, but it cannot cure it."
fundamental."
Su San's expression changed, as if he heard something. He suddenly jumped up and asked anxiously: "Master Zeng, are you saying that he won't die soon?"
Master Zeng looked a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said: "Exactly, this poison is not easy to cure, so I am afraid this little brother will have to endure the pain for two months..."
Su San seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. His face was full of excitement and he said incoherently: "Two months is enough. Two months is enough. Someone can save him!"
Master Zeng and Mi Tang asked in unison: "Who can save me?"
"Princess sister...oh, it's the Tibetan princess, Zhuo Ya!"
Mi Tang and Master Zeng looked at each other, but before they could say anything, they saw Lu Qing rushing in from the outside in a hurry, shouting as they walked: "The golden dog has blocked the entrance to the mountain at the north and south ends!"
Su Santeng stood up with a determined look on his face: "Just block it, I'll hold Xu Zizhen across the Taihang Mountains!"
