Chapter 147 Why do you know each other before you know each other?
A fleeting glimpse of Yangzhou, mist and rain hanging on the curtains, all over the grand palace, the banquet is full of flowers, but there is no tenderness, no romance.
In the summer, Yangzhou was originally a romantic and gentle town, but now it is like an armored city surrounded by dark clouds. There are few people on the street, and a few pedestrians walk nervously and speak carefully. They don't even dare to walk in the middle of the road, and they all move to the side and walk through.
In each street are teams of armored patrols with solemn faces and murderous intent.
Overnight, the garrison troops from the three provinces in the south of the Yangtze River moved into full force. The five thousand Xiaoqi battalion that arrived first moved directly into Yangzhou City and took over the Yangzhou Patrol Battalion to take charge of the security of Yangzhou City. At the same time, notices to eradicate the remnants of the White Clothes Sect were plastered all over the ten counties of Yangzhou.
The largest bandit suppression operation since the founding of the Chinese Dynasty officially began, like a tsunami sweeping across the earth. Whether they were members of the Baiyi Sect or not, they were all trembling with fear. Everyone in Yangzhou City was in danger.
News of the emperor's private visit incognito has been circulated on the streets. Linked to what happened in Liuzhuang and the actions taken by the court, the truth is about to come out.
The emperor was assassinated!
No one knows the news about the emperor, but everyone knows that the emperor was seriously injured in Shuzhong not long ago and is in critical condition. Now that he has been assassinated again, the court has taken such a big action. Is it possible?
Inside the city, there is a guard post every five steps and a sentry post every ten steps. Outside the city, there is a forest of soldiers and horses, and no trace of horses.
Another day at dusk, before the two people who went to Yangzhou to collect ransom returned to the village, another sentry went out to inquire.
He came back less than two hours after leaving the village. He only said that officers and soldiers were rampant outside and everyone was in danger. He didn't know what happened to the two brothers. They might have been arrested by the officers and soldiers, or they might not be able to get out after entering the city.
With the wind and rain outside in front of them, Kuangfeng Village had no choice but to put the matter aside. Everyone was prohibited from leaving the village, and they would wait until the news of the incident had passed before discussing the whereabouts of their brothers.
For Xia and Shang, this is not a bad thing. They can use these days to recharge their batteries and at least heal Yue Haitang's injuries first.
The only thing I'm worried about is that my wife at home doesn't know his whereabouts, and I'm afraid she will be worried for a while.
Today, Xia Shang, accompanied by two bandits, went to the mountains to collect medicine for Yue Haitang to recover from her injuries.
Mr. Zhuo had mentioned the required medicine in advance, and Xia Shang had read relevant herbal medicine books and was familiar with it.
In one day, Xia Shang and two bandits brought back many medicinal materials.
The mountains and forests here are dense, and few people come to the hinterland of Xiaoqingshan, so there are many medicinal herbs. There are also rare treasures such as ginseng and cordyceps hidden in the dangerous areas, making it a natural treasure house.
It's funny to say that Kuangfeng Village guards a treasure house without knowing it. There are many medicinal materials available in this mountain valley. These medicinal materials hidden in the deep mountains and old forests are so precious that many drug stores can't even try to collect them. It can be said that
There was real money and silver beside the pillow. But these rough guys still wanted to commit robberies.
The bandits here are not absolutely bad people, especially the big boss. Although he is rude, he is still honest and has principles.
So Xia Shang told them that they could tell the chief about the repayment of the herbal medicines and advised him not to engage in murder and swindling in the future. They could have enough food and clothing just by reselling the herbal medicines.
Let’s talk about Yue Haitang. After one day of taking the medicine, her complexion has improved significantly. However, she sat in the room with her eyes closed and rested for the whole day. She only cooperated a little when taking the medicine. When talking to her or asking her anything, she ignored her.
.
Until late at night, after everyone had gone to bed, Xia Shang felt worried when he saw that she was still sitting in a meditating position with no intention of falling asleep, so he went not far away and asked: "You were like this after talking to that person this morning. What's in your heart?"
What are the plans?"
There was no reply, only the sound of the wind outside the house was heard.
Xia Shang frowned and walked closer: "Or are you saying that you have wronged yourself in order to protect us and don't want to act in this drama? If that's the case, just say it and I will think of another way. Although I, Xia Shang, am not anything
You are a good person, but I will not take this opportunity to take advantage of you. If we can leave this place safely, I, Xia Shang, promise not to mention anything about the fake marriage."
"You dare to swear?" Yue Haitang suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Xia Shang calmly.
"Swear? Why swear?"
"I dare not swear, that means you want to pester me in the future!"
He came to care with good intentions, but was treated like this. Xia Shang felt resentful and his tone became heavy: "Nervous! A man, you will do what you say, believe it or not!"
After that, Xia Shang ignored him and went back to bed to sleep first.
Yue Haitang's expression remained unchanged. She glanced at Xia Shang's direction, and one of her eyes fell on the corner of the crescent moon hanging in the window: "I knew it would be such a stumbling block to people's hearts, why didn't I know each other in the first place! It depends on God's will this time. If God wants me to return,
Ordinary, I, Fairy Shuiyue, will accept my fate."
After thinking about it, Yue Haitang closed her eyes.
For two days in a row, Yue Haitang meditated every day, not knowing what she was doing.
Xia Shang collected herbs honestly, giving Yue Haitang a little every day and leaving the rest to Kuangfeng Village for storage.
Life in the mountains is peaceful and comfortable, and you cannot feel the passage of time, only the difference between sunrise and sunset.
At noon on the third day, a bandit sneaked up to the headmaster and whispered: "Master, there is something wrong with capturing that woman."
Zhang Tieniu was drinking and eating meat in the big tent, but he didn't care: "Woman? What's the problem?"
"That's the one named Yue Haitang. Aren't we preparing for her wedding to that kid?"
"So what?"
"Have you noticed, Mr. Master? The little lady has been meditating in her room all day long these days, and her health is getting better day by day."
"Isn't it just right that she is getting better day by day since she was injured?"
"No! The boss, I suspect that there is something wrong with that little lady's identity. I'm afraid she is a master of martial arts."
At this point, Zhang Tieniu realized something. It was not clear to others. He had heard someone say that there was another broken sword used by a woman in the cave where these three people were found. It would make sense if the woman was a martial arts master. If
It's true. She is recovering from her injuries at the moment. If her injuries heal and she can resume her martial arts...
Zhang Tieniu suddenly stood up from his seat and asked in a low voice: "Why do you think so?"
"Master, you don't know something. I passed by the thatched house today and happened to see the young lady inside with her eyes closed tightly and sitting cross-legged on the bed. There was white mist floating out of her back. She looked very weird."
"Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true, otherwise I wouldn't have come to tell the boss if I laughed so hard!"
Zhang Tieniu's scalp went numb, and he thought that the naughty bitch was hiding something deep inside!
Zhang Tieniu can also do martial arts, but he knows what his skills are. How powerful is a person who can emit white mist from behind while meditating? He can crush himself to death with just a little finger!
"What a bastard! Bring me my knife! Go and kill that little girl!" (To be continued)
