Yamazaki and Shandai changed horses all the way and hurried on, changing horses for a full round, and ran for two hours before stopping to rest.
Yamazaki had already taken the ginseng tablets, sat down and meditated to regulate his breathing.
Shandai feeds the horses and eats, drinks and rests herself.
Yamazaki sat for a moment, then stood up, "Let's go."
"Brother, you are sweating like this, are you okay?"
"No problem, let's go!"
…
We set out on the road again and encountered a checkpoint about an hour later. We passed the checkpoint on the pretext of going to Beijing to treat an injury.
Of course, money is indispensable.
Both the man and the horse were counted, and they asked for ten taels of silver, saying that this was the price if they were released at night.
I have no choice but to give it.
…
On the road again, we approached the capital without stopping.
At dawn, we arrived at the city gate and waited in line to enter the city.
The problem is, they are not the first one, there is already a caravan in front of them, and the queue is more than 20 feet long.
I'll check the merchandise later, I don't know how long it will take.
Yamazaki rushed to the front to negotiate, showed his wound, and successfully persuaded the other party to let him go forward on the pretext of going to treat the injury.
Shan Dai couldn't hold back her laughter. She was hurt, but this was the good thing.
If I really caught up with the second aunt's grandfather's memorial, it would be all due to this injury.
…
Soon after, the city gate opened.
Yamazaki gave the money to pass the customs, and the city gate official did not hesitate and let the two people in.
There were already people moving in the city, so the two of them did not dare to ride wildly, but it was still possible to walk quickly on horseback.
I trotted all the way to the second aunt's grandma's door. When I saw the second aunt's grandma escorting a man in official uniform out to the sedan chair, I immediately knew it was the second aunt's grandpa Duan Shi and Duan Chenggang.
"Wait a minute."
The second aunt's grandmother was surprised, "Hey, why are you back again?"
"Who are these two?" asked the second aunt's grandfather.
"The great-nephew and great-niece who wrote to me before."
"oh."
Yamazaki dismounted and said, "My grandnephew Yamazaki is here to see my second aunt, grandpa. Please lend me a moment to speak."
"No need to be polite. I still have to go to court at this time. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it after I get back."
"Wait a minute," Yamazaki leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "I dare to ask my second aunt, grandpa, but he was ordered to participate in the Tsing Yi Sect?"
"Ah, how did you know?"
"Please forgive my grandnephew for offending me."
After Yamazaki handed over his hand, he pointed on his head.
"What are you doing!"
The second aunt's grandmother was shocked and immediately slapped Yamazaki with her palm.
The palms were full of wind and extremely powerful. It was obvious that she had not lost her martial arts skills.
Yamazaki cleverly pushed the second aunt's grandfather over, but she could only stop and catch her husband.
"Get him!"
The second aunt and her husband retreated, their hands and feet were idle, but their mouths were not idle.
Yamazaki exposed his back and said, "Second aunt, please take a look."
"This!" The second aunt's grandmother was stunned, and the housekeeper and servants did not do anything again.
"Second aunt, grandma, and grandnephew came here day and night. They drove all night even though they were injured. They didn't come here to hurt second aunt's grandpa. There is indeed something big going on."
"What on earth is going on?"
"This matter is of great importance. Please allow my second aunt and grandnephew to come in and explain it in detail slowly."
"Okay, if you can't explain why, I won't let you go."
…
Main hall.
Yamazaki whispered, "Second aunt, please take a look at the memorial in the sleeve of your second aunt's grandpa. My grandnephew just asked, and it is true that my second aunt's grandpa has an order."
The second aunt's grandmother dug out the memorial and read it over.
"Tsing Yi Sect? There are no false accusations in this."
"My second aunt has been away from Jianghu for a long time. I'm afraid she has forgotten how ruthless the people in Jianghu are."
"You mean, the Qingyi Church came to kill them because of this? They dare to kill officials in the capital?"
"They have gotten involved with the King of Southwest and are preparing to rebel. Do you think they dare to kill the fifth-rank official?"
"What! You can't speak nonsense."
"This matter is our personal experience. A group of elite soldiers from the Southwest King, armed with powerful crossbows and steel shields, penetrated thousands of miles into the capital. With the cooperation of the Tsing Yi Sect, they hunted down the Flying Tiger Escort who was transporting the treason letters."
The second aunt took a deep breath, "Seriously!"
"It's true. My second aunt must have heard that Master Yunxiao Pan Yunxiao, who has been absent from the world for twenty years, has appeared."
"I have indeed heard of this, and this matter..."
"It was he who saved the Flying Tiger Escort, and it was not just a coincidence. The emperor invited him to go. He is the emperor's son-in-law."
"Wha, what!"
Yamazaki handed over his hand, "Second Aunt Grandpa's memorial was arranged by the emperor. He wanted Shanjiabao to be involved."
"Of course, Shanjiabao is not worth mentioning. What he wants is Lengmei Palace behind Shanjiabao."
The second aunt's grandmother laughed, "What a joke, Leng Mei Gong won't do anything for Shanjiabao."
"How will you know if you don't try? If it doesn't succeed and a mere mountain castle is destroyed, who cares? The emperor doesn't care anyway."
"Well……"
The second aunt's grandmother had nothing to say against Yamazaki's words.
Yamazaki handed over his hand again, "Second aunt, grandma, the world seems to be peaceful now, but in fact it is already in turmoil."
"Shanjiabao was put on the chessboard all because of my second aunt, so my grandnephew had no choice but to cut his salary and let him resign due to injury."
The second aunt's grandmother perked up and said, "What did you do to him?"
"Just fainted."
"Have you fainted? Didn't you touch his acupuncture points?"
"No, this time I just want to prevent him from going to court. The next step is to poison him."
"What! No, no, this won't work, absolutely not."
"Grandma Second Aunt, we have to go through the test of being an imperial doctor. I didn't have a solution before, but now I have."
"Poisoning is what you said is a good idea?"
"Yes, this is the poison in my body. I promise it will not be fatal. It will only continue to cause hallucinations for my second aunt."
"ah?"
"For example, when I look at this house now, it looks like a wriggling monster." Yamazaki raised his hand, "And my fingers are like big radishes."
"Pfft!" Shandai laughed.
"Oh my God!" The second aunt's grandmother stroked her head. It was hard to imagine what it would be like for an upright husband to live in such a twisted and weird world.
Yamazaki held up his hand and said, "In short, this is the only way for Grandpa Second Aunt to survive, and it is also the only way for you to survive. As long as Grandma Second Aunt and you are safely out of this troubled place, Shanjiabao will be safe."
"Okay," Second Auntie nodded, "I'm just going to ask you something. What's the matter with your poison? Do you have an antidote?"
Yamazaki told the truth, "This was the fault of the bandits we met on the road. We were in a hurry to leave, so we didn't look for an antidote. I believe there will be no antidote."
The second aunt's grandmother slapped the table, "How dare you give it to him without an antidote!"
Yamazaki held up his hand, "This should be snake venom and scorpion venom mixed with the poison of exotic flowers and plants. What I gave to my second aunt's grandfather was my poisonous blood. The poison will be much weaker, and he will definitely be able to withstand it."
"That's it." The second aunt's grandma couldn't make a decision.
"Second aunt, grandma, and grandnephew promise that the second aunt and grandpa will not be in danger. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
"That's all, wait until he wakes up, and then..."
"No, we can't let him know. I forgive my great-nephew for speaking out boldly. If my second aunt is pedantic, I'm afraid he will immediately be accused of deceiving the emperor."
"this……"
The second aunt thought about it again and again, and felt that it was indeed possible, so she gave up the plan and let Yamazaki do it.
