In the mountainous terrain with complicated terrain, Duofu waited and waited.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves in the distance, she hurriedly ran up the hillside. When she saw the shadow of snow that was so white that there was no trace of color, she was so happy that she waved desperately: "Miss!"
However, she did not wait for a response.
The white horse ran closer and gradually slowed down. Duofu rushed down the hillside, only to find Mingwei lying on the horse's back, unconscious.
Hou Liang hurriedly stepped forward, checked Mingwei's breathing, took her pulse, and said, "I'm afraid Miss Ming has suffered internal injuries. Hurry, help her down."
When I woke up Mingwei, I felt a tight pain in my chest.
"What a blessing." She opened her mouth, her voice weak.
Duofu heard the voice and hurried over: "Miss, how are you?"
Mingwei found that there was still a residual taste of medicine in his mouth, so he asked, "Have I taken the medicine?"
"Yes! Mr. Hou said that you suffered internal injuries, and he was afraid that your internal organs would be damaged, so he collected the medicine and asked me to cook it for you to drink." Duofu was a little surprised, "How come everyone has medical skills? Miss, do you want me to take it?"
study?"
Mingwei smiled weakly: "You can learn if you want." She used her internal energy and found that her breath was stagnant. She knew that she was seriously injured this time. Fortunately, she knew that there was a big problem when she ran for her life, so she took a pill first.
In addition, Hou Liang's emergency response was good, so his life was saved.
Duofu blames himself: "It's all my fault. I knew the lady was going to do such a dangerous thing, so I should have gone with you."
Ming smiled and shook his head: "This is not possible. Just because of the danger, you can't take risks with me. Before returning to Beitianmen, we must retain one's combat power to deal with possible accidents."
Hou Liang came over with cooked wild vegetable soup: "Miss Ming, let's eat something first."
All the food they brought has been eaten on the way. Now the only dry food is dried meat and fish, and wild vegetables are still picked.
Mingwei was a little surprised: "Sir, you know a lot."
Hou Liang smiled a little sheepishly: "I left my hometown in my early years and had nothing to live on. I couldn't afford to eat. I could only eat wild vegetables."
While Mingwei was eating, Hou Liang said consciously, "I'll go find some water so that the two girls can wash themselves off."
Watching him leave, Duofu said: "I used to think that Mr. Hou was very unreliable and might sell us out at any time. I didn't expect that it's thanks to him now."
Mingwei lay back on the haystack and said, "It's too early to say now. There is still a test. He must pass it."
Duofu didn't understand: "What test?"
Ming smiled and shook his head: "You'll know later." Then he said, "Duofu, you can't be idle yet, you have to prepare quickly..."
The resting place was not far from the water source, and Hou Liang quickly reached the stream.
He filled several large water bladders, took off his robe, tied it in a knot, and carried it to the campsite.
As soon as I took a step, I felt a chill on my neck, and at the same time, a hoarse voice sounded: "Don't move."
Hou Liang, who has been in the den of thieves for many years, knows very well what this feeling is.
Knife, someone held the knife to his neck.
He slowly raised his hands and spoke carefully: "Hero, I have money on the right side of my belt. It's a bank note issued by a treasure house in Beijing. If you recognize the note but don't recognize the person, just take it. There are a few gems in your arms. The best grandmother
Green, worth thousands of gold, I’ll give it to you as a reward for your hard work. Could you please let me go and spare my life?”
This reaction is quite sensible. Based on Hou Liang's experience in dealing with bandits and bandits, as long as the other party is not determined to kill him from the beginning, the probability of survival is very high.
But the man did not come to search, but said: "You are here to get water, which means you have an accomplice. Take me to find your accomplice!"
Hou Liang thought of Mingwei who couldn't move, and a layer of sweat broke out on his forehead: "Hero, we are going to Hu Di to do business. I am the owner. I have the money and goods with me, and the other two are clerks. You can take it out.
Look, there are 10,000 taels of silver notes, which are the rest of my stockings. The goods returned are these gems, and they can be sold for a sky-high price when they are taken back to the Central Plains..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Just leave if you are told!" The blade of the knife scratched his neck, and Hou Liang could already feel the blood flowing down his skin.
"Hero, spare your life!" He seemed frightened, his voice changed, "Don't do anything, I'm going, I'm going! Well, can you let go? Your knife is too sharp, I'm afraid to move forward.
My head just moved."
"Huh! Be honest!" The blade changed its position and pressed against his lower back, "Let's go!"
…
Yang Shu tried to bring it up several times, but was blocked by Liang Zhang.
For the last time, he said: "The banquet has been prepared. Third Young Master, please come with me! Speaking of which, your father and I are old acquaintances, so I will treat my nephew today."
"General Liang!" Yang Shu did not stand up, but raised his voice.
Liang Zhang calmed down. After a moment, he sighed and waved: "You all stand down."
All the servants in the Commander's Mansion retreated. Yang Shu pursed his lips and ordered Ah Xuan and the others: "Wait outside."
"Yes." Ah Xuan clasped his fists and obeyed.
There were only two people left in the hall, and Liang Zhang's attitude had changed drastically.
Just now, he had always been kind and amiable, just like the elders with relatives Yang Shu met in Beijing on weekdays. But now, he is distant, indifferent, and even a little arrogant.
Liang Zhang picked up the tea cup, took a sip slowly, and said, "I still think Young Master Yang is a smart man, but you don't even understand what you're hinting at?"
Yang Shu suppressed his temper and said calmly: "I can't thank General Liang enough for his kindness. But I really have no choice but to live up to it..."
He didn't say a word, but Liang Zhang already sneered: "Last resort? It's just a woman, what's the last resort?"
Yang Shu asked: "General Liang really has news about her?"
Liang Zhang was even more angry. Is this the point of what he said? This boy was really dazzled by the beauty. He didn't care about scolding. He only cared about whether the girl was okay!
"Young boy from the Yang family!" he lectured arrogantly, "I teach you this way for the sake of your noble concubine! I know your current situation in my heart. The Holy One no longer likes you, what else do you have to rely on? Go back to Gao Gao
Go to the pond and run the horse farm well. After three or five years, maybe the Holy Spirit will forget about it and call you back to the capital. Otherwise, you will live with those horses for the rest of your life!"
Yang Shu was neither happy nor angry, and continued to talk: "Since General Liang has news about her, he must know that she is in critical condition. I came here this time to ask General Liang for a way to let us pass through Beitianmen to rescue people.
.”
"Didn't you listen to what I said?" Liang Zhang said angrily, "The Beitianmen is so important, how can it be opened privately? You don't have to have any delusions. Now, when you walk out of the commander's mansion and return to your Gaotang, this commander will treat you like this
Nothing happened!"
Yang Shu was quiet and asked softly: "So, why doesn't General Liang refuse to use the road?"
"That's right." Liang Zhang looked at him with a bit of disgust, "You are no longer what you used to be. You cause less trouble!"
Yang Shu sighed: "I really don't want to do this!"
Listening to this tone, Liang Zhang felt an inexplicable chill down his back. What does this kid want to do? Why does he have a bad feeling...
His premonition soon came true.
Yang Shu picked up the tea cup and looked like he was about to drink tea, but the next moment he suddenly smashed it over.
Liang Zhang raised his sleeves to block, and just when he was about to fight back, Yang Shu rushed to him and pulled out the long sword that he had placed on the table to watch.
The power of the sword is fierce and lightning-fast.
Just when Liang Zhang was about to shout, the sword was already pressed against his neck.
Yang Shu's voice sounded faintly: "General Liang, you are really too lax. The majestic commander of the Northwest Right Army, the man who protects half of the Qi Dynasty, has actually deteriorated like this..." (To be continued)
