The two of them escaped from the palace in one breath and entered an alley. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, Li Tianmu breathed a sigh of relief, held his stomach and slowed down. He walked through the alley, crossed the street, returned to Xichun Tower, and entered
In the guest room, Mou Rongtian lights the candlestick.
Li Tianmu was sitting on the Grand Master's chair. Due to excessive bleeding, his face was pale and there was no color at all.
Mou Rongtian went to knock on the door of Chengda's house to wake him up.
Cheng Da put on his clothes and went out of the house and asked, "Master Mou, what's the matter?"
Mou Rongtian asked: "Are there any firecrackers at home?"
Cheng Da shook his head and said: "No, it's not the New Year or the festival. Why do you keep those things at home? What's the use of firecrackers, Mr. Mou?"
Mou Rongtian said: "The third eye is injured, quite seriously. I urgently need gunpowder to help him heal. Can you think of a way to get some?"
Cheng Da said: "There is a grocery store at the corner of the street. There are firecrackers for sale there. I will buy them right away."
Mou Rongtian said: "Go back quickly."
At that time, you didn’t need a franchise license to sell firecrackers, and they were sold in grocery stores. It was late at night, the grocery store had long been closed, and the shopkeepers were all asleep. Cheng Da went to smash the door, and the door panel "cracked"
There was a loud clang, but the shopkeeper's family slept in the back house, far away from the front room facing the street, so they couldn't hear it at all.
Fortunately, there is a dog in the yard. This dog has good ears. When he heard the noise, he barked "woof, woof" and woke up the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper mistakenly thought that a thief was coming, so he picked up the door rail and went out to check. Grocery stores often come here.
Thief, it's not surprising that he would think so. Although Hanyang City is the capital of Goryeo, the public security situation is not good.
The shopkeeper walked forward to check out the front room, when he heard a banging sound on the door.
The shopkeeper was very unhappy and walked over and shouted: "Who is this? He stayed up in the middle of the night and came here to knock on the door."
Cheng Da shouted: "I am the shopkeeper, Cheng Da from Xichun Tower. I want to buy a firecracker."
They all live on the same street, and they all know each other.
The shopkeeper said: "It turns out to be you, shopkeeper Cheng. How can you say this? Why are you buying firecrackers in the middle of the night?" He opened the door.
Cheng Da walked in and saw the shopkeeper holding the candlestick in his left hand and holding the door rail in his right hand. He smiled and said, "Why are you still holding the door rail in your hand?"
The shopkeeper said: "How can I rest assured that I don't have a stick in my hand in the middle of the night?" Then he went to light the candlestick in the room, put the candlestick in his hand on the table, and asked: "How many loudspeakers do you want?"
firecracker?"
Cheng Da said: "It doesn't matter how loud it is."
The shopkeeper said: "Why did you remember to buy this thing in the middle of the night?"
Cheng Da couldn't tell the truth, otherwise he would become a fool. When the shopkeeper asked this, he couldn't find an excuse for a moment and said with a smile: "Stop asking, shopkeeper, I am useful anyway."
The shopkeeper just asked casually, he didn't care what Chengda was buying firecrackers for, as long as he paid for them, he would sell them. Even if Chengda used firecrackers to kill people and set fires, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to worry about this tasteless heart and didn't
I didn't want to get to the bottom of it, but seeing that Cheng Da didn't want to explain it clearly, I stopped asking.
After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, he took out the most expensive plate of large whips and handed it to Cheng Da: "This is from Liuyang in the Ming Dynasty. You can take it back and put it away. It's ready. It makes a rattling sound."
After Cheng Da asked about the price, he paid the money and returned to Xichun Tower with the plate of whips in his arms. He opened the door to the guest room and walked in. He saw Li Tian sitting on the Taishi chair with his eyes fixed on his upper body. He had a big hole in his stomach and was still there.
Blood was pouring out. Mou Rongtian bent over, holding a wet towel in his hand to clean his wound. There was a basin of water on the ground, which was stained red with blood. He said, "Master Mou, I bought the firecrackers."
Mou Rongtian said: "Open it and take out a bowl of gunpowder."
Cheng Da put the firecrackers outside the door, went to get a bowl, sat on the ground and opened the firecrackers. He didn't have much time, so he took out a bowl of gunpowder, brought it into the house, and handed it to Mou Rongtian.
Mou Rongtian pinched gunpowder and applied it to Li Tianmu's wound. Li Tianmu bit his back teeth in pain, and large beads of sweat trickled down his forehead.
After using less than half of a bowl of gunpowder, Mou Rongtian felt that the smearing was almost done. He put down the bowl and asked Cheng Da to pass the candlestick. Chengda handed the candlestick over and he took it in his hand. He handed the wet hand towel to Li Tianmu and said: " Third Eye, bite it."
Li Tianmu smiled bitterly and said, "This thing is so dirty. Why are you biting it?"
Mou Rongtian said: "I'm going to light the fire. It hurts. I'm afraid you can't bear the pain and bite your tongue. That's not a joke. If you bite this, you won't hurt your tongue. If you think it's dirty, I'll ask Lao Cheng to bring you another clean one."
Li Tianmu said: "No need. How painful can it be? Can I still bear this pain? There's no need to bite this thing. I can bear it and it won't hurt my tongue. Just feel free to do it. ."
Mou Rongtian said: "Then I can light a fire."
Li Tianmu smiled slightly and said, "Just order it."
Mou Rongtian put the candlestick close to him, and as soon as the gunpowder touched the flame, the flowers bloomed with a "chi" sound. After the bright light flashed, a puff of black smoke rose up, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
At the moment when the gunpowder burned, Li Tianmu felt an unprecedented, heartbreaking, unbearable, and even more unbearable heart-breaking pain.
He was mentally prepared, knowing that this thing was no joke and would be very, very painful. Once the big words were spoken, no matter how painful it was, he had to hold back and couldn't say anything, let alone bite his tongue.
However, things went against his wishes, and he couldn't hold it back in the end. Not only did he let out a deafening scream, but he accidentally bit his tongue. Fortunately, he didn't bite it off, otherwise he would have been in big trouble.
After the pain subsided, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and said with a wry smile: "It's really strange. There is such a big hole in the stomach, and the blood does not flow out from here, but comes out from the mouth."
Mou Rongtian estimated that he was biting his tongue. Seeing that he could still speak, he knew that the injury to his tongue was not serious, so he spared his face and did not tell the truth.
Burning the wound with gunpowder can sterilize and prevent the infection from getting worse.
Mou Rongtian picked up the needle, heated the needle, and connected it with a thread. He sewed up the wound for Li Tianmu, then applied gold wound medicine and wrapped it with white cloth. He also asked Li Tianmu to take the healing elixir.
He said: "Tianmu, please go to the kang and lie down." Then he said: "Old Cheng, you go back and rest."
Cheng Da said: "Then I will go back first. If you need anything, call me." He said and walked out.
Mou Rongtian blew out the candlestick and lay on the kang with Li Tianmu. Li Tianmu said, "What should we do next?"
Mou Rongtian said: "Now that you are injured, the two evil spirits from Guandong have joined in. It seems that the King of Goryeo cannot be killed. I plan to go to Li Yi. He and Pang Yuchun are close friends of life and death. Maybe I can persuade Pang Yuchun to come up with the antidote." .I will leave at dawn, you stay here to recuperate for a while, and then let Chengda send someone to take you back to Beijing in a car."
Li Tianmu said: "I don't need to rest here, I will return to Beijing at dawn."
Mou Rongtian advised: "You are seriously injured. Don't rush back to Beijing. You should stay and recuperate for a while."
Li Tianmu said: "Stop talking, what does such a small injury mean?"
Mou Rongtian sighed, and said with a helpless smile: "You are really a great hero, with such a big hole in your stomach, it is called a small injury." After a pause, he said: "Since you insist on going back, I can't stop you.
.I originally wanted Cheng Da to inform Mr. Luo not to attack Pang Yuchun first, and wait until I find Li Bian to see if he can convince the King of Korea. Since you want to go back, it is up to you to tell Mr. Luo."
Not long after the two lay down, there was a crowing of roosters outside, and after a while, it was getting light. Neither of them fell asleep, and they didn't want to sleep anymore. After getting off the kang, after washing up, Mou Rongtian asked Cheng Da to prepare the car.
Send Li Tianmu back to Beijing.
Li Tianmu said: "There is a horse to ride on, what kind of car do you take?"
Mou Rongtian said: "It's too bumpy to ride a horse, so we'd better take a car."
Li Tianmu said: "The train is so slow. When will it arrive in Beijing, I won't take it."
Mou Rongtian knew his temperament, he was very stubborn, and it was hard to say anything more.
The two cavalry left Hanyang City, and Li Tianmu returned north to return to the capital. Mou Rongtian traveled south to Geoje Island to find Li Bi, the general of the Goryeo Navy.
On this day, Mou Rongtian crossed the sea and landed on Geoje Island. When he came to the General's Mansion, he followed the guards to the bedroom of the inner house. He was very puzzled. He didn't know why Li Bing didn't entertain him in the living room. After entering the room, he saw Li Bing sitting with his legs crossed.
On the kang, his right leg was bandaged, and an armpit crutch was leaning against the kang.
"General, what's wrong with you?" Mou Rongtian asked.
Li Bie smiled and said: "Hey, don't mention it. I went hunting in the mountains a few days ago and unexpectedly encountered a tiger. The horse was frightened and threw me like this."
Mou Rongtian asked: "Is the injury serious?"
Li Bie said: "It's just a broken leg. It's not a serious problem. I've already found a bruiser to take it over. It'll be fine in a few months."
Mou Rongtian said: "It's okay."
Li Bie said: "Brother, why are you here?"
Mou Rongtian said: "The general doesn't know something." Then he told Pang Yuchun's story one by one.
After hearing this, Li Bie was shocked and said to himself: "Brother Pang is so confused. How could he do this? This is so inappropriate."
Mou Rongtian said: "I would like to ask the general to persuade Pang Yuchun to hand over the antidote."
Li Bie said: "Okay, no problem, let's leave now."
On this day, Li Tianmu returned to the capital and went to the Jinyiwei General Administration Bureau to meet Luo Sigong and explain everything.
Luo Sigong felt that Li Bie might not be able to convince Pang Yuchun. If Li Bie failed, he would have to exchange the head of the King of Korea for the antidote. Now that the King of Korea is protected by three masters, Yang Huan and Guandong Shuangsha, things will be difficult to handle. If Yan Shoufeng again
Sending other masters to protect the King of Korea would make things even more difficult.
Now he only has two trump cards, Pudu and Mou Ying. He has to protect Pang Yuchun and assassinate the King of Korea. It is not enough. He has to increase his manpower. If Wu Kunshan is here, things will be much easier to handle, but at this critical moment
At that moment, Wu Kunshan disappeared and could not be found, which made him feel very depressed.
