296 The Prelude to the Second Thorn Zheng Lujia

Li Tianmu and Black Rose walked into a dense forest. Li Tianmu stopped and said, "Miss Hei, I want to bandage the wound. There are differences between men and women. Please turn your back."

Black Rose smiled and said: "Hey, you are a grown man and you are still afraid of looking at it. My aunt is not interested in whether you bandage it or not. If you bandage it, my aunt will have to watch it today. If you are afraid of it, don't bandage it."

Li Tianmu frowned and said: "Why are you like this? How come you are not ashamed of the girl's family? What am I afraid of as a grown man? What does it matter if you show me? I am not thinking about you, I am afraid of ruining you.

reputation."

Black Rose said coquettishly: "You are not ashamed. My aunt is not afraid of bad reputation. You don't need to think about my aunt. Take it off quickly. If you don't bandage it, the blood will drain out."

Li Tianmu couldn't do anything with the black rose, so he became angry and said, "Then I'll take it off. If I ruin your reputation and you won't be able to marry in the future, don't blame me."

Black Rose said: "Why do you look like an old woman with small feet? Take it off now. My aunt can get married, but if she can't, you don't have to worry about it, Master Li."

Li Tianmu took out knife wound medicine and bandages from his arms. These are essential items for traveling in the world. He never leaves them.

Li Tianmu bit the bandage roll, turned around, with his back to Black Rose, took off his coat, poured some knife wound medicine from a small porcelain bottle into the palm of his hand, and applied it to the incision on his lower abdomen.

Black Rose walked around him and saw a large group of black heart-protecting hairs on his chest. She smiled and said, "Ah, do you still have heart-protecting hairs?"

Li Tian glanced at Black Rose and said, "What are you looking at?" He turned around again.

Black Rose smiled and said, "You won't let me see it, but my aunt insists on seeing it." She followed him around and stood in front of him again.

Li Tianmu said unhappily: "Can you not make trouble?"

Black Rose said: "Where do I have it? Who caused trouble for you?"

Li Tianmu said: "You girl, you are really shameless." He pulled off the bandage and bandaged the wound.

Black Rose said: "Why don't you sew up such a big incision?"

Li Tianmu said: "I would like to sew, but where can I find a needle and thread?"

Black Rose said: "You don't have it, my aunt does." She took out the needle and thread from her treasure bag and said, "Sit down quickly, my aunt will help you sew it up."

Li Tianmu stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the needle and thread, I will do it myself."

Black Rose said: "If you don't give it, either my aunt will sew it for you, or you won't sew it."

Li Tianmu said: "Then I won't sew."

Black Rose said: "If you love to sew or not, evil wind will enter your body. What will you do?"

Li Tianmu thought to himself: "If I don't sew it up quickly, evil wind might really get into my body, and it will be a big trouble." He pondered for a moment and said, "Then I can ask Miss Hei to help me sew it up."

Black Rose smiled and said: "That's right. Sit down quickly."

Li Tianmu was sitting under a tree. Black Rose burned the needle with a fire stick, pulled out the thread, squatted in front of Li Tianmu, and stitched his wound with stitches.

Li Tianmu gritted his teeth and endured the pain without saying a word. Big beads of sweat were streaming down his forehead.

Black Rose didn't hear Li Tianmu's cry of pain and asked, "Don't you feel pain?"

Li Tianmu smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't hurt."

Black Rose said: "It really doesn't hurt, or does it mean it doesn't hurt?"

Li Tianmu said: "It really doesn't hurt."

Black Rose said: "It doesn't hurt even if you put a needle into your flesh. You are such a tough guy." She pinched the edge of his knife as she spoke.

Li Tianmu cried out in pain, "Why are you pinching me?"

Black Rose said: "My aunt wants to see how hard you are. It seems that you are not too hard."

Li Tianmu was unconvinced and said: "You are so unexpected. Who can hold it back? Try pinching me again and see if someone complains about pain."

Black Rose said: "That aunt has to pinch her."

Li Tianmu said: "Come on!"

Black Rose pinched his wound again without daring to use too much force. Li Tianmu's face was so painful that the veins were throbbing, but he did not complain of pain and said, "You're not trying hard enough, please try harder."

Black Rose increased his strength, but Li Tianmu remained silent. Black Rose stopped pinching and continued to sew, saying: "You are indeed a tough guy." He added a little more admiration for Li Tianmu in his heart and asked: "

Has Dong Qing stitched up your wounds?"

Li Tianmu said: "It has been sewn."

Black Rose said: "Which one of us is better at sewing?"

Li Tianmu said: "Your needlework skills are not as good as Qing'er's, she can sew better."

Black Rose looked at Li Tianmu and said, "She sews well, right?"

Li Tianmu said "hmm".

Black Rose handed the needle to Li Tianmu and said unhappily: "You can ask her to sew it, my aunt won't take care of her anymore."

Li Tianmu sewed up the remaining parts by himself.

The two continued on their way, and after walking a few dozen miles, Li Tianmu saw Jinzhou City in front of him and said, "Let's go into the city and buy a horse."

Black Rose said: "Guo Suo won't let it go after he suffers a loss. If he comes to sue his teacher, we will be in trouble. I think it's better not to go into the city and go around."

Li Tianmu said: "You wait for me outside the city, I will go in by myself."

Black Rose said: "Do you insist on going to the city?"

Li Tianmu said "hmm".

Black Rose said: "Well, my aunt will risk her life to accompany you to Jinzhou City."

Li Tianmu smiled, and the two of them walked into Jinzhou City and inquired about the mule and horse market. Black Rose was a horse thief and knew how to look at horses. He could tell the quality of horses at a glance. After looking around, he found a horse dealer in his hand.

There are two good horses. When I asked about the price, it was quite fair. I wanted to buy both horses.

Li Tianmu said: "Why buy two horses? One is enough."

Black Rose said: "Two people ride on one horse. Do you want to take advantage of my aunt?"

Li Tianmu said: "Whoever wants to take advantage of you, I don't need to ride a horse, just buy one and you can ride it yourself."

Black Rose said: "If you don't ride a horse, you insist on holding your legs. Are you stupid?"

Li Tianmu also knew that his legs were tired, but he was short of money. He didn't keep a single ingot of gold given by Luo Sigong, and let Dong Qing take it away. It cost a lot of money to buy a horse, so he couldn't afford it.

He said: "It doesn't matter if you are a little tired. Some people are not afraid of being tired. They just think of it as practicing."

Black Rose said: "Then it's up to you." So she only bought one horse.

The two of them left Jinzhou City. Black Rose got on his mount and said, "Li Tianmu, do you dare to compare your feet with your aunt?"

Li Tianmu smiled and said, "Why don't you dare?"

Black Rose said: "Then come." She pinched the mount with her knees and shouted "Drive!" The horse spread its hooves and galloped forward, running hundreds of meters in the blink of an eye. Black Rose looked back,

Seeing that Li Tianmu was still standing there, he reined in his horse and shouted, "Why don't you run?"

Li Tianmu shouted: "I'll let you run for a while, so run quickly. I'll chase you later."

Black Rose let out a "hum" and shouted, "Let's see how you can catch up to my aunt." Then she urged her mount to gallop forward.

When Li Tianmu saw that Black Rose had disappeared, he started to use the Wind Chasing Technique and ran forward. After a while, he caught up with Black Rose and said with a smile: "How is it? Is the Qinggong of a certain family acceptable?"

Black Rose thought to herself: "Although this horse is not a thousand-mile horse, it is almost the same as a thousand-mile horse. With the distance of this horse and my riding skills, Li Tianmu can catch up with him. His lightness is really amazing."

"Although I had already accepted defeat in my heart, I was not convinced in my mouth and said: "My aunt doesn't believe that your endurance can match it. Let's run a few dozen miles and take a look."

Li Tianmu said: "Come on then." He kept pace with Black Rose's horse until sunset. Black Rose kept urging the horse, making the horse gasp from exhaustion, but he still could not get rid of Li Tianmu.

A few days later, the two left Shanhaiguan and entered Beizhili. They traveled for a few more days and stayed at the foot of Wuling Mountain. Li Tianmu caught a pheasant, lit a bonfire, roasted it, and shared it with Black Rose.

, Li Tianmu sat by the bonfire and said while eating: "We can enter Beijing tomorrow. I don't know when I can kill the old thief. You can find an inn to stay first. After I finish my work, I will

Look for you."

Black Rose said: "If you can't kill the guy named Zheng in three to five years, my aunt will have to wait for you for another three to five years. I don't have the patience. I'd better lend you the spray gun and kill him quickly."

"

Li Tianmu smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

After Black Rose finished eating, she rolled up her sleeves, took off the spray tube, threw it to Li Tianmu, and said, "Put it on quickly, I'll teach you how to use it."

Li Tianmu took the spray gun in his hand and saw that it was similar to a quiver and was tied to his left arm. Black Rose asked him to take the antidote and taught him how to use the spray gun.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Tianmu left the black rose in the forest and returned to the capital alone. He saw Dongchang guards checking in front of Anding Gate. He expected that there must be checks at other city gates. He couldn't enter through the city gate, but it was not difficult.

Live him.

Li Tianmu bypassed Anding Gate and walked more than a mile toward Desheng Gate. Seeing that there was no one guarding the city, he came to the city and performed the cloud climbing technique. After a while, he climbed to the city, passed through the military road, and jumped down.

Go down and jump into the city.

There were many people in the city, and they were afraid of encountering Dongchang's eyes and ears, exposing their whereabouts, and causing serious problems. They passed by Qianfo Temple and bought a bamboo hat at the roadside market. They put it on their heads and lowered the brim of the hat very low.

.

Crossing the street and alley, I came to the outside of the uncle's house, climbed over the wall, jumped over the ridge, and flew to the courtyard where Zheng Lujia's bedroom was. Seeing that there were no guards guarding the courtyard, I guessed that Zheng Lujia must have gone to the Cabinet Office, so he left

Go to the uncle's residence and go to the Cabinet Office.

The Cabinet Office is located in the Forbidden City. Walking in from the Meridian Gate, there is Huiji Gate on the right. After passing through Huiji Gate, there are three offices side by side. From west to east, they are the Imperial Palace, the Cabinet and the Imperial Palace.

Li Tianmu couldn't go through the Meridian Gate or Chengtian Gate. Both the Forbidden City and the Imperial City had to climb over the wall to enter. He came to the north of Dong'an Gate, inside Baotaifang, strolled to the bottom of the city wall, and waited until there was no one around.

, leaped into the imperial city, crossed the Jade River, jumped all the way from the South Shanfang to the ridge, passed by the Mingqi Factory, Shangshanjian, Guanglu Temple, Medical Study and Reading Center, came to the billiard room, and used the wave-walking technique to cross.

Moat, climb over the wall and jump into the Forbidden City.
