Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing
Chapter 42
After Tan Haoran finished his narration, his eyes were flushed. Although he was exhausted, he held Qi Zhongyu's clothes tightly and said, "Fortunately, it was you, you saved my life. I... Thank you, really thank you!"
Qi Zhongyu said: "You and I are best friends, so why bother to thank you, not to mention that you yourself were quick-witted and decisive and thought of breaking the medicine bottle to save this life, and you were determined and escaped from the burning yard , and finally met me to help you, which means that God is helping you, and after you recover from your injuries, you will still be the leader of the New Sun Sect, and you can command thousands of troops."
Tan Haoran smiled wryly, shook his head and said nothing.
After a long time, he asked: "I don't know what the pills in that medicine bottle are, can you give me another bottle?"
There are still a few small bottles in Qi Zhongyu's purse, but the pills given to Tan Haoran to restrain Song Deliang have been used up. If Tan Haoran wants the same one, it will take time to prepare it.
She said: "Although there are no pills like the one before, there are still two bottles of pills with similar properties. I can give you both."
She took out two medicine bottles and handed them to Tan Haoran. The medicine bottles were only about the size of two thumbs put together. When she was in the Western Regions, she found a local craftsman with a high reputation and specially fired them with local red clay. There are many medicine bottles in the purse, and it doesn't look obvious.
Tan Haoran accepted it with thanks, and heard Qi Zhongyu explain: "The pills inside are all extremely poisonous pills, no matter whether the opponent is a commoner or a martial arts master, you only need one, and it will seal the throat with blood."
Tan Haoran's hands shook, and he stammered: "This, so powerful."
Qi Zhongyu nodded, these pills were made by herself, basically mixed with her own blood.
She was originally poisoned by the most poisonous poison in the world, and then she went to Miaojiang in the Western Regions to stay for a few years, doing random experiments on herself, and even her blood was infected with severe toxicity.
Fortunately, she has also learned how to detoxify, and carries pills that can detoxify blood with her. As long as the other party doesn't swallow her blood in big gulps, and if she accidentally swallows a drop or two, she can still be rescued, and the other party will have no sequelae of.
Tan Haoran was terrified in his heart, he didn't expect this pill to be so poisonous, if he fed it to the right protector, the other party would definitely...
After what happened last night, Tan Haoran became more grateful to Protector You in his heart, and made up his mind that as long as the other party didn't do anything too outrageous in the future, he would not feed the other party these pills.
He put the pills on the cabinet next to the bed, and wanted to ask something else, but Qi Zhongyu said: "Lie down and rest first, I will go outside to check the situation, and discuss what to do next when I come back."
Tan Haoran responded, and he also hoped that there are still disciples who survived, especially Guardian You and Xie Xinghe, he has been best friends with them these days, but these two are the main force to stop the two masters, they should be the murderers. Dorje is less.
He sighed in his heart, lay flat on the bed with Qi Zhongyu's help, and said, "Thank you."
Qi Zhongyu waved his hand, turned and walked out of the room.
Tan Haoran originally thought that he would not be able to fall asleep, but it didn't take long before he felt his eyelids heavy, and a sense of tiredness swept over his body, and he fell asleep completely with his head tilted.
After about a few breaths, a tall man pushed open the door, looked at Tan Haoran who had passed out, and murmured: "It's really fate, such an injury can't kill you, it's interesting."
Hearing what Qi Zhongyu said just now, he knew that he had gone out to inquire about news and would not be back for some time, so he sat on the stool leisurely and contentedly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
The sunlight came in from the window, and his handsome and extraordinary facial features could be seen at a glance. It was Xie Xinghe.
Xie Xinghe was unscathed, and he was thinking about what to do next...
Originally, when he was sentenced to leave the yamen and join the Xinrijiao, he wanted to do a great job.
He used to be a beggar with no father and no mother. He grew up relying on scheming methods. He accidentally practiced martial arts and was lucky enough to be on duty in the Yamen.
.
Occasionally, he would accompany the county magistrate and communicate with the upper class people in the county, and thus saw the world of the rich and powerful, and became more and more dissatisfied in his heart. He wanted to stand higher and see farther, but he didn't It is difficult to have a bright future if you have connections in your background.
It takes a lot of time to study the imperial examinations, or to join the army in the frontier. He asked himself that he is not a patient person, so when he found that the right guardian and leader of Xinrijiao appeared in the county, he immediately realized that another person who could stand out The opportunity has come.
He is a very decisive person, knowing that the new leader is in trouble at this time, if he gets along with him for a while and works hard for him, he will definitely be valued by the other party, and he will be able to occupy a high position and be popular in the future.
So without any hesitation, he killed the yamen servant who discovered Tan Haoran's identity with him, and he didn't care about the shock and despair of the other party before his death. I can only let him go to the underworld first.
Holding the head of the opponent, he proved himself to the New Sun Sect and seized the opportunity to join them.
However, after really following the new leader of the New Sun Sect and becoming familiar with his temperament, Xie Xinghe began to regret it in his heart.
There is no other reason, but the new leader is too soft-hearted and indecisive.
The right protector is the same, he looks shrewd and capable, but he doesn't know how to examine Duodu, and he has to obey the orders of Tan Haoran, a yellow-haired kid, which is really blinding him, who is under one person and above ten thousand people.
He suddenly understood why the Xinri Church's rebellion failed, because their leaders were too muddy and had no potential to do great things.
He clearly knew that the court officials and people in the rivers and lakes were looking for their whereabouts everywhere, and he even dragged a few seriously ill disciples to not let go. He even stayed in the small county of Siyuan County for nearly a month, just to make these things irrelevant His disciples recuperated.
If it weren't for the dragging of these disciples, they would have left Huainan Road long ago, and now they have regrouped in Shannan Road.
Every day he stayed in Siyuan County, the more he hated him, and the stronger his desire to kill Tan Haoran and You Hufa to take over himself.
Finally, he couldn't bear to release the news and leaked it to his former friend Han Lin.
Han Lin's original sphere of influence was nearby, so he hurried over after hearing the news.
They agreed to kill Protector You and several other disciples. At that time, Han Lin took the most famous Song Deliang to the government to exchange reward silver.
On the other hand, he pretended to desperately rescue the loyal servant of the leader, and took Tan Haoran, who had been cut off and lost his legs and was completely disabled, to leave Siyuan County and head for Shannan Road.
He is sure that when the two of them walk together and rely on each other for life, Tan Haoran can completely trust him and become a puppet of his right to ascend to the top.
However, he overlooked one point, that is, the person Han Lin brought had a deep-rooted hatred for the Xinri Cultists. With a playful attitude, the person scratched Tan Haoran dozens of times.
If Han Lin hadn't stopped the opponent in time, that person would have killed Tan Haoran.
Xie Xinghe was so angry that his teeth were itchy, he hurriedly searched for the wound medicine in the house, so as to save Tan Haoran's life, but just for a while, when he walked out of the room with the wound medicine, he saw Han Lin and the master he brought, and it was overwhelming. On the ground, blood dripping from his chest, and he was already dead.
His pupils constricted violently, thinking that there were other masters who came to cut him off when he saw the movement, so he didn't bother to step up to check carefully, and ran away in a hurry. After running a certain distance, he realized that something was wrong. Tan lying in a pool of blood Hao Ran disappeared.
He frowned, went back to check it himself, and confirmed the news, and not only Tan Haoran, but also the right protector was gone.
That old slippery man, relying on all kinds of life-saving means on his body, was lucky enough to survive and even escaped.
He clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths to calm down his anger. Following the traces of blood, he found Tan Haoran who was hiding in the dark corner of the alley. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw clearly that he was standing near the alley. Zhong Yulang.
He had also been in the arena, so he had heard of Zhong Yulang's reputation, and he knew
Knowing that the other party's martial arts are unfathomable, if he bumps into him now, even if he is covered in mouths, he can't explain why he is unscathed.
He could only avoid it far away, hoping that Zhong Yulang could save Tan Haoran's life.
He paid attention to the little girl next to Zhong Yulang, she looked pretty good, but her temperament was too weak, she didn't look like anything special, but she was Zhong Yulang's wife, her status was already extraordinary.
He was thinking whether he should catch Lu Dongfu and control Zhong Yulang, but he was cautious after all. After his feverish mind calmed down, he hurriedly threw away the thought. He didn't want to risk his life against the moody Zhong Yulang.
Fortunately, Tan Haoran has a certain status in Zhong Yulang's heart. The other party didn't even care about his wife, so he took him to another alley that was more secluded. Xie Xinghe watched from afar, not daring to get too close. exist.
After that, he saw Zhong Yulang carry Tan Haoran back to an uninhabited courtyard, and went out for a while, but he didn't know what he did. He was afraid that the other party would return soon, so he waited patiently and did not act rashly.
It wasn't until Zhong Yulang returned to the courtyard and went out to buy breakfast the next day that Xie Xinghe seized this opportunity, sneaked into the bedroom next to the guest room where Tan Haoran was, and lay down under the bed.
Although his martial arts are mediocre, he is extremely good at concealment. He can not make a sound, making the aura on his body as safe and harmless as stones and plants.
And here, even with a thin wall, he could hear the conversation next door clearly.
After hearing what Tan Haoran said, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that although Tan Haoran suspected that there was an inner ghost among them, he did not suspect him, because he had risked his life before. Protect his posture.
Tan Haoran rolled his eyes under the bed, since his scheme has not been exposed, he has to weigh again what to do next.
The reason why he entered the house while Qi Zhongyu was out to inquire about news was because he wanted to check Tan Haoran's injuries himself. He knew a little about medical skills and knew that the other party was indeed as Qi Zhongyu said, as long as he took care of him for a while, he would be fine.
Now that the matter has come to this point, he must think of a practical way to return to Tan Haoran's side again and make him trust himself more.
Anyway, the opponent has obvious personality flaws, even if his legs are healthy, he is definitely not his opponent.
He turned around and left the house, and hid in a nearby courtyard, keeping a close eye on Qi Zhongyu and Tan Haoran, to see what happened next, so he could take the opportunity to act.
And after Qi Zhongyu walked to the East Street, before he got close, he saw the burnt black broken walls, not only the third courtyard where Tan Haoran lived, but even the courtyard next door was not spared, and a dozen rooms were burned in a row. The fire was finally brought under control.
Moreover, not only the disciples of the Xinri Sect, but also a few of the surrounding residents were burned to death. It was already late at night when they started, except for those who went to the night market during the Lantern Festival, some people on the East Street lay down and fell asleep early. up.
Therefore, they did not have time to escape before the fire spread, and their bodies were all charred.
There were more than a dozen corpses, covered with white cloth, placed in the open space in front of the ruined walls, and the weather was a bit gloomy recently, which made the surroundings tinged with solemnity, and some people even cried softly.
Qi Zhongyu frowned, everyone was burned like this, and the yard was also burned, it seems that there are no more clues to be found.
She originally wanted to use the number of corpses to find someone who survived like Tan Haoran, but with so many corpses, she couldn't judge, so she could only leave the scene to avoid attracting the attention of the government.
She thought about it, and thought that Tan Haoran would sleep a little longer, so she went to Qi Anye's house on West Street.
When she passed, it was mid-morning, and she heard from the porter that Lu Dongfu had just left her second brother's house not long ago, and she should have reached the gate of the city at her speed.
She was worried about Lu Dongfu, and hurriedly ran towards the city gate. She also realized that her attitude last night was too strange. I don't know how to think about it.
Even if she can't tell the truth, tell her part of the truth,
In case she thinks more and more, and accidentally gets into a dead end.
She was very fast, and she saw Lu Dongfu in front of the city gate. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lady."
Lu Dongfu froze for a moment, turned around to look at him, and asked doubtfully, "Sir, why are you here?"
Qi Zhongyu stood in front of her and said, "I'll take you home."
"But..." Although Lu Dongfu was happy, there was a look of hesitation on his face.
Qi Zhongyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll tell you about it after I get out of the city gate."
Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly. Only then did Qi Zhongyu realize that her eyes were black and blue. Lu Dongfu's skin was fair. Although there was only a faint shadow under the corner of her eyes, it was still very obvious. It seemed that she thought well. Lu Dongfu Fu did not have a good rest last night.
She was a little distressed, and worried that this was the gate of the city where people come and go, so she didn't make any gestures of getting too close, but she grabbed Lu Dongfu's hand tightly and said, "Let's go."
Lu Dongfu responded, and the two came to the city gate. Today's guard inspection was a little stricter than before, but Qi Zhongyu was already familiar with that person, so he secretly handed him a few pennies, and the other party waved his hand, Let her walk out of the city gate smoothly.
After walking a certain distance and there were no other passers-by around, Qi Zhongyu said: "Sorry, I was in a hurry last night, and I lied, which made you uneasy all night."
Lu Dongfu was stunned, she didn't expect her to admit to lying so straightforwardly, she couldn't help showing a sweet smile on her face, and said, "I know, my husband must have some difficulties to hide from me."
She was very well-behaved and caring, Qi Zhongyu couldn't help but dragged her from the main road back to the village to the small path between the villages, and when there were no one around, he lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
She met Lu Dongfu's round eyes, and said, "The person I met in the alley yesterday was not a passer-by I had never met, but a former friend of mine."
Lu Dongfu thought: Sure enough, it made sense in this way. She said that based on her understanding of the husband, the other party is definitely not a character who helps passers-by for no reason. That person must have an old relationship with the husband and have a very good relationship. , Xianggong will help him.
But, why did Xianggong lie?Could it be that the other party's identity is a secret that even he can't tell?
Lu Dongfu moved her lips, her expression aggrieved, and Qi Zhongyu continued to say: "A few days ago, I learned that he was temporarily staying in Siyuan County, and he visited twice. The reason why I kept it from you is because The other party has a special status, he is a person in the Jianghu, and he is wanted by the court, I don't want you to be involved, so I specially drew a line with him."
The wanted?
Lu Dongfu's eyes widened. No wonder the husband didn't tell her. This is indeed an unspeakable secret. Coupled with his embarrassing status, it's normal that the husband doesn't want to reveal it.
Lu Dongfu let go of the grievance in her heart, and persuaded: "Since that person is a good friend of my husband, it means that the other person is a good person. Maybe the court wanted him because of a misunderstanding."
Qi Zhongyu couldn't help laughing, pinched Lu Dongfu's soft white cheeks, and said, "Young lady is so cute, things in the world are not black and white, and he is indeed a desperado, and the people around him He is even more ruthless, maybe he will catch you to threaten me, I will not let you have a chance to contact, you are my most important treasure, I will not let anyone hurt you."
Lu Dongfu's eyes suddenly turned red. She believed what Xianggong said. Ever since she married Qi Zhongyu, Qi Zhongyu had been protecting her, and even her older sisters.
She was grateful in her heart, and there was a sweet and sour feeling spreading. She couldn't help stretching out her arms to hug him tightly, and said, "Sir, I also...you are also the most important person in my life."
Qi Zhongyu's heart beat violently, the roots of her ears turned red, and her body began to feel hot. She and Lu Dongfu were close to each other. Qi Zhongyu continued: "My friend met an enemy last night and suffered serious injuries. If you don't treat her as soon as possible , within an hour, you will be completely cut off, so I have to send you to the second brother's house, and then go back to take care of him. I hope you don't blame me."
Lu Dongfu shook her head and said, "I won't blame my husband,
It's just that I'm worried, and I can't sleep because I toss and turn at night. "
Qi Zhongyu said: "It's my fault, I will explain the truth to you next time."
Lu Dongfu smiled softly, and said, "No need, I know that my husband must have your reasons for doing things. I understand everything, and I will also understand your difficulties."
If there is a wife like this, what can the "husband" ask for.
Qi Zhongyu fell in love with this gentle and considerate little girl in front of him more and more. He heard Lu Dongfu ask: "How is the friend of the husband now? It shouldn't be a serious problem. After all, there is a doctor with excellent medical skills present. Can be rescued."
Qi Zhongyu was so flattered by her that she couldn't laugh or cry. She said helplessly, "I'm not a god, but I happened to bring medicine for the wound on his body, so I can heal it. He has fallen into a coma now, and then he just needs to take care of himself." After a period of time, he will be able to recover and walk on the ground like a normal person."
Lu Dongfu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, it's fine."
Qi Zhongyu said: "Although the other person is fine, there are still many troublesome things to deal with, so I plan to send you home, and then go back to the county to help him solve his predicament. I will not be at home for a long time. , you have to take good care of yourself alone, put the matter of moving on hold for now, you live in the current yard first, and we will talk about it after I come back."
Lu Dongfu had a look of disappointment on her face. For a long time... I don't know how long, she was used to staying with Qi Zhongyu, and when she thought of being separated from him, she felt as if she was being pricked by a needle.
Qi Zhongyu didn't realize it, and still told her: "As for the second uncle, if you ask about my whereabouts, you can say that I have gone far away. In the past, I would go out every once in a while. Second uncle also Knowing this, he won't ask more questions, and I don't want him to worry."
"If you encounter any problems, just go to the next door and ask your second uncle and aunt, they will definitely help you..."
She babbled a lot, not letting go of even the smallest things. Lu Dongfu never knew that Xianggong was such a talkative person.
Thinking that it was all because of her, that her husband was worried about her, she felt a sweetness in her heart, and even the original sadness of parting faded a little.
She also couldn't bear to interrupt her husband's chatter. As they walked home, Lu Dongfu listened to Qi Zhongyu's chatter. When they finally got home, Qi Zhongyu went to the kitchen to split a lot of firewood, which was enough for Lu Dongfu to use for a month. up.
Not only that, but she also took care of all the tasks that she could think of that were not easy to do.
Seeing her busy up and down, Lu Dongfu stepped forward to stop her, but the other party went elsewhere in the blink of an eye.
She watched and couldn't help but her eyes were red. When Qi Zhongyu finally finished everything, the two stood together, reluctant to part.
After a long time, Qi Zhongyu pursed his lips and said, "Then I'm leaving."
She said so, but didn't move her feet. Lu Dongfu finally shed tears, choked up and said, "Master, I'll wait for you to come back at home, you must be careful."
Her tears fell like broken beads, Qi Zhongyu nodded slowly, stepped forward to wipe her tears, and said: "I promise, I will solve this matter as soon as possible, and come home to reunite with you. When the time comes Let's move to the mountain, and I'll take you to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, okay?"
Lu Dongfu nodded, but couldn't stop crying.
Qi Zhongyu lowered his head and kissed her eyes. His cold lips touched the hot eyelids, but the effect was very obvious. Lu Dongfu finally stopped crying.
Qi Zhongyu put a kiss on her lips and said, "Wait for me to come back."
Lu Dongfu responded, watched the other party turn around quickly, and walked to the gate of the courtyard in a few breaths, paused, then opened the gate and walked out.
Lu Dongfu walked to the bedroom in a daze and sat down. The room seemed to be filled with a faint cold fragrance, which was the familiar smell of Qi Zhongyu.
She couldn't help hugging Qi Zhongyu's pillow in her arms, the cold scent became stronger, she took a deep breath, and said in her heart: Mr. Xianggong, you must come back as soon as possible, and come back safe and sound.
Qi Zhongyu was afraid that once he hesitated,
, I didn’t want to go to the county seat anymore, so after closing the gate of the courtyard, Yun Qinggong came to the woods outside the county seat, walked out of it, and entered the city gate.
She returned to the empty courtyard, and found that Tan Haoran was still lying on the bed, sleeping deeply.
After thinking about it, she went to the pharmacy and bought some medicinal herbs for nourishing blood and nourishing qi.
She didn't have a lot of money on her body, and Tan Haoran was a wealthy man. Although she was seriously injured, she still had her purse, so there were tens of thousands of taels of silver bills and a dozen taels of silver in it, which was enough for her to squander.
Anyway, she spent the money for Tan Haoran, and the other party would not mind if she was unstable and took his money.
After she returned to the yard, she went to the kitchen to light a fire and decoct the medicine. This medicine was worth dozens of taels of silver.
She bought ten pairs in total. Seeing that it was a big deal, the pharmacy gladly gave her a discounted price, but it cost more than 500 taels.
After decocting the medicine, she went back to her bedroom to wake up Tan Haoran and asked him to take the bowl of medicine.
The taste is a bit weird, it can't be said to be bitter, but it's definitely not delicious...
Tan Haoran's handsome face was wrinkled into a ball, and he quickly drank the cold boiled water that Zhong Yulang handed over to him before he regained his strength.
He glanced out the window, the sky had already dimmed, and hesitantly said: "You, you stay here, are you okay? Your family..."
He lowered his eyes to hide his disappointment, and pretended to be calm and said: "You should be worried, you should go back as soon as possible..."
Qi Zhongyu interrupted him, and said: "Don't talk about those nonsense, I know you want me to stay here, and you want me to help you, you said it yourself before. We are friends, if you have someone to help you before That's all, now you are seriously injured and helpless, I will not let it go."
Tan Haoran's cheeks were flushed with shame, but he couldn't say anything against him. He really needed Zhong Yulang's help, from the beginning to the end.
The other party rejected him resolutely before, but he didn't expect that when he was on the verge of death, his wish was fulfilled and he was rescued by the other party. He didn't dare to expect too much, but he couldn't help it.
He raised his head, looked at him expectantly, and admitted: "You are strong in martial arts and powerful. With your help, I will definitely be able to accomplish great things."
Qi Zhongyu twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hands and said: "Forget about the great cause, I don't have that much ambition, I just want to live my own life in the countryside, but I won't just ignore you, so I'm going to wait for you to cultivate two years. On this day, I will personally send you to Shannan Road to join the branch forces of the New Sun Sect."
Tan Haoran said in surprise: "Really?"
Zhong Yulang alone is more effective than his previous disciples, Protector You, and Xie Xinghe combined, heck, to put it bluntly, he can fight.
Qi Zhongyu rolled his eyes and said: "Really, but I'm ugly to say the least, I'm only responsible for sending you there, and you still have to go down by yourself for the rest of the way."
Tan Haoran was a little disappointed, but it was already a great favor to get the other party's help and leave Huainan Road.
He said happily: "You really are my best friend. Don't worry, I won't force you. In the future... I will definitely repay your kindness."
Qi Zhongyu snorted, and suddenly thought: "You don't have to wait until the future, you can repay me now."
Tan Haoran was taken aback when he heard the words, he has nothing now, except for the 1 taels of bank notes, there is nothing he can use in return.
He is rich and powerful, he is the third young master of Xinrijiao, and he used to be in charge of the money exchange in the church, so he never took 1 taels seriously.
Qi Zhongyu gritted her teeth and understood what he meant. She felt inexplicably resentful of the rich, and she said, "Master, please give me 5000 taels of hard work."
She opened her mouth and asked for 5000 taels directly, but in Tan Haoran's eyes, it was just drizzle.
He frowned and said, "It's not right."
For his life, the government offered 10 taels of silver. Zhong Yulang had already saved his life before, and now he would risk his life to send him to Shannan Road. He could not fool the other party at will.
5000 taels of silver, too little, seems to be sending
Hanako.
Seeing that Qi Zhongyu had a tendency to get angry, he hurriedly said: "How about this, I will give you 20 taels as a repayment after the Xinrijiao is assigned the helm."
Two... 20 taels.
Qi Zhongyu almost wanted to cover his chest, and suddenly understood why there is a saying that is so popular in modern times, that is, to be friends with local tyrants and embrace golden thighs.
She now has a local rich friend, who casually gave 20 taels, which is really rich and powerful.
Qi Zhongyu was a little powerless, and said: "If you are not in charge, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Since you want to be the new leader of Xinrijiao, you can't be so extravagant. Just give me 1 taels, and return 20 taels. Are you dissatisfied?"
Tan Haoran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart felt warm.
After he lost his crown, he helped his father manage the church's finances, and finally discovered his talent in business. In just a few years, he multiplied the money he plundered from everywhere by several times.
20 taels is just a month's income of the Xinrijiao. Although it is indeed a lot, it is nothing compared to his own life.
He explained to Zhong Yulang in detail, after Qi Zhongyu finished listening, he took a few steps back and sat on the stool to stabilize his body so as not to be too shocked and fall to the ground.
Ever since she crossed over to this different world, she has been a poor person. Although she occasionally got rich suddenly, she got it through improper means. She has no savings in time.
When he had the most money, it was only about 1 taels, and Tan Haoran just told him that the wealth accumulated by Xinrijiao over the years was as high as tens of millions of taels...
Really, a real local tyrant, more than 1000 million taels, Qi Zhongyu dare not even think about it.
She looked at Tan Haoran, as if she was looking at a gleaming vault, Tan Haoran was terrified by his look, and said: "How about it, I will give you 20 taels as a thank you gift, it's not too much."
Qi Zhongyu shook his head blankly, and then said with a smile: This is really the first time I have encountered someone who tried hard to persuade people to collect money.
She still felt that 20 taels of silver was too hot, so she hesitated and said, "For a discount, just give me 10 taels, and I will be able to eat and wear for the rest of my life."
Tan Haoran thought for a while, and nodded with a smile. He never thought of giving Zhong Yulang a sum of money to cancel his kindness and friendship.
He gave the 10 taels to the other party. When the power of Xinrijiao grows stronger and enters the troubled times as expected, no matter whether Qi Zhongyu is willing to help him conquer the world, he will leave a place for the other party and his relatives to settle down. Place.
However, it is too early to say these things now, he was sweating after drinking the medicine, Qi Zhongyu went to boil hot water to scrub him and change the dressing, of course Tan Haoran did it himself in the private place, she only wiped the injured wound nearby.
After taking the good medicine, Qi Zhongyu fed him a few more pills to heal the internal injuries. After taking the medicine, Tan Haoran became sleepy and soon fell asleep.
In the next two days, while treating Tan Haoran's injuries, Qi Zhongyu went to the city to collect dry food and supplies, and went to the market to buy a carriage. When she was ready, she went to a tailor shop and bought a few sets of clothes.
Inadvertently caught a glimpse of a women's dress, she had an idea, and suddenly had an idea.
So, on the morning of the third day, he drove towards the gate of the city as soon as he drove the carriage. Qi Zhongyu sat on the carriage and drove the horses. .
But after thinking about it, the county magistrate ordered that every carriage must be strictly searched. He showed an apologetic expression again, opened the curtain to check, and saw a young pregnant woman with a big belly sitting inside, about twenty At his early age, he looks gentle and beautiful.
He was a little dazed, thinking that although Qi Zhongyu was married, but the wife is a delicate girl in her teens, when...
Thinking of a possibility, he smiled narrowly. Qi Zhongyu had no choice but to hand him another two coins, and said in a low voice, "I hope you can keep it secret for me, brother."
The guard blinked at her, and said, "Don't worry, I understand. That's fine, there is no demon sect hidden in the carriage, let's go out of the city gate."
Let's go. ”
Qi Zhongyu cupped his hands in thanks, jumped into the carriage and gave a "drive", and the horse pattered forward.
It wasn't until a long distance away that the city gate was invisible that a faint sigh sounded from inside the carriage, and the man's gentle and deep voice sounded a bit embarrassed, and said, "When can I change back into men's clothes?"
Qi Zhongyu thought for a while, and said: "The identity of a woman is safer, and you are thin and thin, not as rough as ordinary men, and with my disguise makeup, even the right protector can't recognize you, let alone other people Don't worry, you can change back to men's clothes when you leave Huainan Road."
Tan Haoran also knew that this method was excellent. When he discussed with Guardian You before, he never thought that there would be such a good method. Zhong Yulang is indeed a ghost, and when he dressed himself up, Tan Haoran looked at the glasses. He also couldn't recognize that the beautiful woman in the mirror was himself.
Although he looks a bit more handsome, he is not so feminine, so this is all due to Zhong Yulang.
What a wonderful man.
Tan Haoran sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he was glad that he had such a friend, that he could have such a confidant in this life, and that he would die without regret.
He took out a snack from the small cabinet beside him, moved it to the side of the car curtain, stretched out his hand and handed it to Qi Zhongyu, saying: "After walking for such a long distance, be hungry, let's have a piece of pastry."
Qi Zhongyu thanked him and said, "Now that we have a good way to hide our identities, there is no need to take the side road. Let's take the main road and leave Huainan Road in an open and honest manner, which can save us a lot of time on detours."
Tan Haoran nodded, calculated in his mind for a moment, and said: "If you take the main road, it will only take a few days to leave Huainan Road, and then..."
He was a little sad. When he arrived in Shannan Road, he was about to be separated from his good friend. He said goodbye today, and he didn't know when he would see him again.
Qi Zhongyu's next sentence dispelled the sadness in his heart, and the other party said: "Don't forget my thank you."
Tan Haoran couldn't help laughing, knowing that the other party was not a money lover, but he didn't want to make himself think too much, so he responded with a gentle smile.
Qi Zhongyu said: "You took the medicine powder from the cabinet, rubbed it on the wound and bandaged it, and then took the medicine again. In the evening, when we arrive at the next county, I will decoct the medicine for you to nourish your body."
When Tan Haoran thought of the taste of the tonic, his face wrinkled unconsciously, but he also knew that taking the medicine was good for his health, and it was specially fried by Qi Zhongyu, so he couldn't be too picky.
He gave himself medicine, and after taking the pill, he felt sleepy, and he lay down in the car and fell asleep.
The first day was uneventful.
The next day, he was safe and sound.
On the third day, everything was calm.
On the fourth day, although it rained heavily and delayed for half a day, the journey after that was still smooth sailing.
On the fifth day, it was only a day's journey from Shannan Road, and it was also the most critical road, because anyone with a brain knows that if the remnants of the Demon Cult want to leave Huainan Road, they will be surrounded by heaven and earth, and they can only escape to Xinri. Only Shannan Road, where religious influence is widely distributed, has a glimmer of life.
Therefore, when the carriage was driving on the road this day, Qi Zhongyu keenly sensed many malicious gazes.
Even several times, they were blocked by officials to check the contents of the carriage and saw a young pregnant woman hiding inside. They couldn't help being disappointed, but the pregnant woman was so beautiful that they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Then he snorted coldly at Qi Zhongyu a few times, expressing his jealousy.
Qi Zhongyu said: "You and I are best friends, so why bother to thank you, not to mention that you yourself were quick-witted and decisive and thought of breaking the medicine bottle to save this life, and you were determined and escaped from the burning yard , and finally met me to help you, which means that God is helping you, and after you recover from your injuries, you will still be the leader of the New Sun Sect, and you can command thousands of troops."
Tan Haoran smiled wryly, shook his head and said nothing.
After a long time, he asked: "I don't know what the pills in that medicine bottle are, can you give me another bottle?"
There are still a few small bottles in Qi Zhongyu's purse, but the pills given to Tan Haoran to restrain Song Deliang have been used up. If Tan Haoran wants the same one, it will take time to prepare it.
She said: "Although there are no pills like the one before, there are still two bottles of pills with similar properties. I can give you both."
She took out two medicine bottles and handed them to Tan Haoran. The medicine bottles were only about the size of two thumbs put together. When she was in the Western Regions, she found a local craftsman with a high reputation and specially fired them with local red clay. There are many medicine bottles in the purse, and it doesn't look obvious.
Tan Haoran accepted it with thanks, and heard Qi Zhongyu explain: "The pills inside are all extremely poisonous pills, no matter whether the opponent is a commoner or a martial arts master, you only need one, and it will seal the throat with blood."
Tan Haoran's hands shook, and he stammered: "This, so powerful."
Qi Zhongyu nodded, these pills were made by herself, basically mixed with her own blood.
She was originally poisoned by the most poisonous poison in the world, and then she went to Miaojiang in the Western Regions to stay for a few years, doing random experiments on herself, and even her blood was infected with severe toxicity.
Fortunately, she has also learned how to detoxify, and carries pills that can detoxify blood with her. As long as the other party doesn't swallow her blood in big gulps, and if she accidentally swallows a drop or two, she can still be rescued, and the other party will have no sequelae of.
Tan Haoran was terrified in his heart, he didn't expect this pill to be so poisonous, if he fed it to the right protector, the other party would definitely...
After what happened last night, Tan Haoran became more grateful to Protector You in his heart, and made up his mind that as long as the other party didn't do anything too outrageous in the future, he would not feed the other party these pills.
He put the pills on the cabinet next to the bed, and wanted to ask something else, but Qi Zhongyu said: "Lie down and rest first, I will go outside to check the situation, and discuss what to do next when I come back."
Tan Haoran responded, and he also hoped that there are still disciples who survived, especially Guardian You and Xie Xinghe, he has been best friends with them these days, but these two are the main force to stop the two masters, they should be the murderers. Dorje is less.
He sighed in his heart, lay flat on the bed with Qi Zhongyu's help, and said, "Thank you."
Qi Zhongyu waved his hand, turned and walked out of the room.
Tan Haoran originally thought that he would not be able to fall asleep, but it didn't take long before he felt his eyelids heavy, and a sense of tiredness swept over his body, and he fell asleep completely with his head tilted.
After about a few breaths, a tall man pushed open the door, looked at Tan Haoran who had passed out, and murmured: "It's really fate, such an injury can't kill you, it's interesting."
Hearing what Qi Zhongyu said just now, he knew that he had gone out to inquire about news and would not be back for some time, so he sat on the stool leisurely and contentedly, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
The sunlight came in from the window, and his handsome and extraordinary facial features could be seen at a glance. It was Xie Xinghe.
Xie Xinghe was unscathed, and he was thinking about what to do next...
Originally, when he was sentenced to leave the yamen and join the Xinrijiao, he wanted to do a great job.
He used to be a beggar with no father and no mother. He grew up relying on scheming methods. He accidentally practiced martial arts and was lucky enough to be on duty in the Yamen.
.
Occasionally, he would accompany the county magistrate and communicate with the upper class people in the county, and thus saw the world of the rich and powerful, and became more and more dissatisfied in his heart. He wanted to stand higher and see farther, but he didn't It is difficult to have a bright future if you have connections in your background.
It takes a lot of time to study the imperial examinations, or to join the army in the frontier. He asked himself that he is not a patient person, so when he found that the right guardian and leader of Xinrijiao appeared in the county, he immediately realized that another person who could stand out The opportunity has come.
He is a very decisive person, knowing that the new leader is in trouble at this time, if he gets along with him for a while and works hard for him, he will definitely be valued by the other party, and he will be able to occupy a high position and be popular in the future.
So without any hesitation, he killed the yamen servant who discovered Tan Haoran's identity with him, and he didn't care about the shock and despair of the other party before his death. I can only let him go to the underworld first.
Holding the head of the opponent, he proved himself to the New Sun Sect and seized the opportunity to join them.
However, after really following the new leader of the New Sun Sect and becoming familiar with his temperament, Xie Xinghe began to regret it in his heart.
There is no other reason, but the new leader is too soft-hearted and indecisive.
The right protector is the same, he looks shrewd and capable, but he doesn't know how to examine Duodu, and he has to obey the orders of Tan Haoran, a yellow-haired kid, which is really blinding him, who is under one person and above ten thousand people.
He suddenly understood why the Xinri Church's rebellion failed, because their leaders were too muddy and had no potential to do great things.
He clearly knew that the court officials and people in the rivers and lakes were looking for their whereabouts everywhere, and he even dragged a few seriously ill disciples to not let go. He even stayed in the small county of Siyuan County for nearly a month, just to make these things irrelevant His disciples recuperated.
If it weren't for the dragging of these disciples, they would have left Huainan Road long ago, and now they have regrouped in Shannan Road.
Every day he stayed in Siyuan County, the more he hated him, and the stronger his desire to kill Tan Haoran and You Hufa to take over himself.
Finally, he couldn't bear to release the news and leaked it to his former friend Han Lin.
Han Lin's original sphere of influence was nearby, so he hurried over after hearing the news.
They agreed to kill Protector You and several other disciples. At that time, Han Lin took the most famous Song Deliang to the government to exchange reward silver.
On the other hand, he pretended to desperately rescue the loyal servant of the leader, and took Tan Haoran, who had been cut off and lost his legs and was completely disabled, to leave Siyuan County and head for Shannan Road.
He is sure that when the two of them walk together and rely on each other for life, Tan Haoran can completely trust him and become a puppet of his right to ascend to the top.
However, he overlooked one point, that is, the person Han Lin brought had a deep-rooted hatred for the Xinri Cultists. With a playful attitude, the person scratched Tan Haoran dozens of times.
If Han Lin hadn't stopped the opponent in time, that person would have killed Tan Haoran.
Xie Xinghe was so angry that his teeth were itchy, he hurriedly searched for the wound medicine in the house, so as to save Tan Haoran's life, but just for a while, when he walked out of the room with the wound medicine, he saw Han Lin and the master he brought, and it was overwhelming. On the ground, blood dripping from his chest, and he was already dead.
His pupils constricted violently, thinking that there were other masters who came to cut him off when he saw the movement, so he didn't bother to step up to check carefully, and ran away in a hurry. After running a certain distance, he realized that something was wrong. Tan lying in a pool of blood Hao Ran disappeared.
He frowned, went back to check it himself, and confirmed the news, and not only Tan Haoran, but also the right protector was gone.
That old slippery man, relying on all kinds of life-saving means on his body, was lucky enough to survive and even escaped.
He clenched his fists and took a few deep breaths to calm down his anger. Following the traces of blood, he found Tan Haoran who was hiding in the dark corner of the alley. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw clearly that he was standing near the alley. Zhong Yulang.
He had also been in the arena, so he had heard of Zhong Yulang's reputation, and he knew
Knowing that the other party's martial arts are unfathomable, if he bumps into him now, even if he is covered in mouths, he can't explain why he is unscathed.
He could only avoid it far away, hoping that Zhong Yulang could save Tan Haoran's life.
He paid attention to the little girl next to Zhong Yulang, she looked pretty good, but her temperament was too weak, she didn't look like anything special, but she was Zhong Yulang's wife, her status was already extraordinary.
He was thinking whether he should catch Lu Dongfu and control Zhong Yulang, but he was cautious after all. After his feverish mind calmed down, he hurriedly threw away the thought. He didn't want to risk his life against the moody Zhong Yulang.
Fortunately, Tan Haoran has a certain status in Zhong Yulang's heart. The other party didn't even care about his wife, so he took him to another alley that was more secluded. Xie Xinghe watched from afar, not daring to get too close. exist.
After that, he saw Zhong Yulang carry Tan Haoran back to an uninhabited courtyard, and went out for a while, but he didn't know what he did. He was afraid that the other party would return soon, so he waited patiently and did not act rashly.
It wasn't until Zhong Yulang returned to the courtyard and went out to buy breakfast the next day that Xie Xinghe seized this opportunity, sneaked into the bedroom next to the guest room where Tan Haoran was, and lay down under the bed.
Although his martial arts are mediocre, he is extremely good at concealment. He can not make a sound, making the aura on his body as safe and harmless as stones and plants.
And here, even with a thin wall, he could hear the conversation next door clearly.
After hearing what Tan Haoran said, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that although Tan Haoran suspected that there was an inner ghost among them, he did not suspect him, because he had risked his life before. Protect his posture.
Tan Haoran rolled his eyes under the bed, since his scheme has not been exposed, he has to weigh again what to do next.
The reason why he entered the house while Qi Zhongyu was out to inquire about news was because he wanted to check Tan Haoran's injuries himself. He knew a little about medical skills and knew that the other party was indeed as Qi Zhongyu said, as long as he took care of him for a while, he would be fine.
Now that the matter has come to this point, he must think of a practical way to return to Tan Haoran's side again and make him trust himself more.
Anyway, the opponent has obvious personality flaws, even if his legs are healthy, he is definitely not his opponent.
He turned around and left the house, and hid in a nearby courtyard, keeping a close eye on Qi Zhongyu and Tan Haoran, to see what happened next, so he could take the opportunity to act.
And after Qi Zhongyu walked to the East Street, before he got close, he saw the burnt black broken walls, not only the third courtyard where Tan Haoran lived, but even the courtyard next door was not spared, and a dozen rooms were burned in a row. The fire was finally brought under control.
Moreover, not only the disciples of the Xinri Sect, but also a few of the surrounding residents were burned to death. It was already late at night when they started, except for those who went to the night market during the Lantern Festival, some people on the East Street lay down and fell asleep early. up.
Therefore, they did not have time to escape before the fire spread, and their bodies were all charred.
There were more than a dozen corpses, covered with white cloth, placed in the open space in front of the ruined walls, and the weather was a bit gloomy recently, which made the surroundings tinged with solemnity, and some people even cried softly.
Qi Zhongyu frowned, everyone was burned like this, and the yard was also burned, it seems that there are no more clues to be found.
She originally wanted to use the number of corpses to find someone who survived like Tan Haoran, but with so many corpses, she couldn't judge, so she could only leave the scene to avoid attracting the attention of the government.
She thought about it, and thought that Tan Haoran would sleep a little longer, so she went to Qi Anye's house on West Street.
When she passed, it was mid-morning, and she heard from the porter that Lu Dongfu had just left her second brother's house not long ago, and she should have reached the gate of the city at her speed.
She was worried about Lu Dongfu, and hurriedly ran towards the city gate. She also realized that her attitude last night was too strange. I don't know how to think about it.
Even if she can't tell the truth, tell her part of the truth,
In case she thinks more and more, and accidentally gets into a dead end.
She was very fast, and she saw Lu Dongfu in front of the city gate. She hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lady."
Lu Dongfu froze for a moment, turned around to look at him, and asked doubtfully, "Sir, why are you here?"
Qi Zhongyu stood in front of her and said, "I'll take you home."
"But..." Although Lu Dongfu was happy, there was a look of hesitation on his face.
Qi Zhongyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll tell you about it after I get out of the city gate."
Lu Dongfu's eyes lit up, and she nodded hurriedly. Only then did Qi Zhongyu realize that her eyes were black and blue. Lu Dongfu's skin was fair. Although there was only a faint shadow under the corner of her eyes, it was still very obvious. It seemed that she thought well. Lu Dongfu Fu did not have a good rest last night.
She was a little distressed, and worried that this was the gate of the city where people come and go, so she didn't make any gestures of getting too close, but she grabbed Lu Dongfu's hand tightly and said, "Let's go."
Lu Dongfu responded, and the two came to the city gate. Today's guard inspection was a little stricter than before, but Qi Zhongyu was already familiar with that person, so he secretly handed him a few pennies, and the other party waved his hand, Let her walk out of the city gate smoothly.
After walking a certain distance and there were no other passers-by around, Qi Zhongyu said: "Sorry, I was in a hurry last night, and I lied, which made you uneasy all night."
Lu Dongfu was stunned, she didn't expect her to admit to lying so straightforwardly, she couldn't help showing a sweet smile on her face, and said, "I know, my husband must have some difficulties to hide from me."
She was very well-behaved and caring, Qi Zhongyu couldn't help but dragged her from the main road back to the village to the small path between the villages, and when there were no one around, he lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
She met Lu Dongfu's round eyes, and said, "The person I met in the alley yesterday was not a passer-by I had never met, but a former friend of mine."
Lu Dongfu thought: Sure enough, it made sense in this way. She said that based on her understanding of the husband, the other party is definitely not a character who helps passers-by for no reason. That person must have an old relationship with the husband and have a very good relationship. , Xianggong will help him.
But, why did Xianggong lie?Could it be that the other party's identity is a secret that even he can't tell?
Lu Dongfu moved her lips, her expression aggrieved, and Qi Zhongyu continued to say: "A few days ago, I learned that he was temporarily staying in Siyuan County, and he visited twice. The reason why I kept it from you is because The other party has a special status, he is a person in the Jianghu, and he is wanted by the court, I don't want you to be involved, so I specially drew a line with him."
The wanted?
Lu Dongfu's eyes widened. No wonder the husband didn't tell her. This is indeed an unspeakable secret. Coupled with his embarrassing status, it's normal that the husband doesn't want to reveal it.
Lu Dongfu let go of the grievance in her heart, and persuaded: "Since that person is a good friend of my husband, it means that the other person is a good person. Maybe the court wanted him because of a misunderstanding."
Qi Zhongyu couldn't help laughing, pinched Lu Dongfu's soft white cheeks, and said, "Young lady is so cute, things in the world are not black and white, and he is indeed a desperado, and the people around him He is even more ruthless, maybe he will catch you to threaten me, I will not let you have a chance to contact, you are my most important treasure, I will not let anyone hurt you."
Lu Dongfu's eyes suddenly turned red. She believed what Xianggong said. Ever since she married Qi Zhongyu, Qi Zhongyu had been protecting her, and even her older sisters.
She was grateful in her heart, and there was a sweet and sour feeling spreading. She couldn't help stretching out her arms to hug him tightly, and said, "Sir, I also...you are also the most important person in my life."
Qi Zhongyu's heart beat violently, the roots of her ears turned red, and her body began to feel hot. She and Lu Dongfu were close to each other. Qi Zhongyu continued: "My friend met an enemy last night and suffered serious injuries. If you don't treat her as soon as possible , within an hour, you will be completely cut off, so I have to send you to the second brother's house, and then go back to take care of him. I hope you don't blame me."
Lu Dongfu shook her head and said, "I won't blame my husband,
It's just that I'm worried, and I can't sleep because I toss and turn at night. "
Qi Zhongyu said: "It's my fault, I will explain the truth to you next time."
Lu Dongfu smiled softly, and said, "No need, I know that my husband must have your reasons for doing things. I understand everything, and I will also understand your difficulties."
If there is a wife like this, what can the "husband" ask for.
Qi Zhongyu fell in love with this gentle and considerate little girl in front of him more and more. He heard Lu Dongfu ask: "How is the friend of the husband now? It shouldn't be a serious problem. After all, there is a doctor with excellent medical skills present. Can be rescued."
Qi Zhongyu was so flattered by her that she couldn't laugh or cry. She said helplessly, "I'm not a god, but I happened to bring medicine for the wound on his body, so I can heal it. He has fallen into a coma now, and then he just needs to take care of himself." After a period of time, he will be able to recover and walk on the ground like a normal person."
Lu Dongfu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, it's fine."
Qi Zhongyu said: "Although the other person is fine, there are still many troublesome things to deal with, so I plan to send you home, and then go back to the county to help him solve his predicament. I will not be at home for a long time. , you have to take good care of yourself alone, put the matter of moving on hold for now, you live in the current yard first, and we will talk about it after I come back."
Lu Dongfu had a look of disappointment on her face. For a long time... I don't know how long, she was used to staying with Qi Zhongyu, and when she thought of being separated from him, she felt as if she was being pricked by a needle.
Qi Zhongyu didn't realize it, and still told her: "As for the second uncle, if you ask about my whereabouts, you can say that I have gone far away. In the past, I would go out every once in a while. Second uncle also Knowing this, he won't ask more questions, and I don't want him to worry."
"If you encounter any problems, just go to the next door and ask your second uncle and aunt, they will definitely help you..."
She babbled a lot, not letting go of even the smallest things. Lu Dongfu never knew that Xianggong was such a talkative person.
Thinking that it was all because of her, that her husband was worried about her, she felt a sweetness in her heart, and even the original sadness of parting faded a little.
She also couldn't bear to interrupt her husband's chatter. As they walked home, Lu Dongfu listened to Qi Zhongyu's chatter. When they finally got home, Qi Zhongyu went to the kitchen to split a lot of firewood, which was enough for Lu Dongfu to use for a month. up.
Not only that, but she also took care of all the tasks that she could think of that were not easy to do.
Seeing her busy up and down, Lu Dongfu stepped forward to stop her, but the other party went elsewhere in the blink of an eye.
She watched and couldn't help but her eyes were red. When Qi Zhongyu finally finished everything, the two stood together, reluctant to part.
After a long time, Qi Zhongyu pursed his lips and said, "Then I'm leaving."
She said so, but didn't move her feet. Lu Dongfu finally shed tears, choked up and said, "Master, I'll wait for you to come back at home, you must be careful."
Her tears fell like broken beads, Qi Zhongyu nodded slowly, stepped forward to wipe her tears, and said: "I promise, I will solve this matter as soon as possible, and come home to reunite with you. When the time comes Let's move to the mountain, and I'll take you to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise, okay?"
Lu Dongfu nodded, but couldn't stop crying.
Qi Zhongyu lowered his head and kissed her eyes. His cold lips touched the hot eyelids, but the effect was very obvious. Lu Dongfu finally stopped crying.
Qi Zhongyu put a kiss on her lips and said, "Wait for me to come back."
Lu Dongfu responded, watched the other party turn around quickly, and walked to the gate of the courtyard in a few breaths, paused, then opened the gate and walked out.
Lu Dongfu walked to the bedroom in a daze and sat down. The room seemed to be filled with a faint cold fragrance, which was the familiar smell of Qi Zhongyu.
She couldn't help hugging Qi Zhongyu's pillow in her arms, the cold scent became stronger, she took a deep breath, and said in her heart: Mr. Xianggong, you must come back as soon as possible, and come back safe and sound.
Qi Zhongyu was afraid that once he hesitated,
, I didn’t want to go to the county seat anymore, so after closing the gate of the courtyard, Yun Qinggong came to the woods outside the county seat, walked out of it, and entered the city gate.
She returned to the empty courtyard, and found that Tan Haoran was still lying on the bed, sleeping deeply.
After thinking about it, she went to the pharmacy and bought some medicinal herbs for nourishing blood and nourishing qi.
She didn't have a lot of money on her body, and Tan Haoran was a wealthy man. Although she was seriously injured, she still had her purse, so there were tens of thousands of taels of silver bills and a dozen taels of silver in it, which was enough for her to squander.
Anyway, she spent the money for Tan Haoran, and the other party would not mind if she was unstable and took his money.
After she returned to the yard, she went to the kitchen to light a fire and decoct the medicine. This medicine was worth dozens of taels of silver.
She bought ten pairs in total. Seeing that it was a big deal, the pharmacy gladly gave her a discounted price, but it cost more than 500 taels.
After decocting the medicine, she went back to her bedroom to wake up Tan Haoran and asked him to take the bowl of medicine.
The taste is a bit weird, it can't be said to be bitter, but it's definitely not delicious...
Tan Haoran's handsome face was wrinkled into a ball, and he quickly drank the cold boiled water that Zhong Yulang handed over to him before he regained his strength.
He glanced out the window, the sky had already dimmed, and hesitantly said: "You, you stay here, are you okay? Your family..."
He lowered his eyes to hide his disappointment, and pretended to be calm and said: "You should be worried, you should go back as soon as possible..."
Qi Zhongyu interrupted him, and said: "Don't talk about those nonsense, I know you want me to stay here, and you want me to help you, you said it yourself before. We are friends, if you have someone to help you before That's all, now you are seriously injured and helpless, I will not let it go."
Tan Haoran's cheeks were flushed with shame, but he couldn't say anything against him. He really needed Zhong Yulang's help, from the beginning to the end.
The other party rejected him resolutely before, but he didn't expect that when he was on the verge of death, his wish was fulfilled and he was rescued by the other party. He didn't dare to expect too much, but he couldn't help it.
He raised his head, looked at him expectantly, and admitted: "You are strong in martial arts and powerful. With your help, I will definitely be able to accomplish great things."
Qi Zhongyu twitched the corners of his mouth, waved his hands and said: "Forget about the great cause, I don't have that much ambition, I just want to live my own life in the countryside, but I won't just ignore you, so I'm going to wait for you to cultivate two years. On this day, I will personally send you to Shannan Road to join the branch forces of the New Sun Sect."
Tan Haoran said in surprise: "Really?"
Zhong Yulang alone is more effective than his previous disciples, Protector You, and Xie Xinghe combined, heck, to put it bluntly, he can fight.
Qi Zhongyu rolled his eyes and said: "Really, but I'm ugly to say the least, I'm only responsible for sending you there, and you still have to go down by yourself for the rest of the way."
Tan Haoran was a little disappointed, but it was already a great favor to get the other party's help and leave Huainan Road.
He said happily: "You really are my best friend. Don't worry, I won't force you. In the future... I will definitely repay your kindness."
Qi Zhongyu snorted, and suddenly thought: "You don't have to wait until the future, you can repay me now."
Tan Haoran was taken aback when he heard the words, he has nothing now, except for the 1 taels of bank notes, there is nothing he can use in return.
He is rich and powerful, he is the third young master of Xinrijiao, and he used to be in charge of the money exchange in the church, so he never took 1 taels seriously.
Qi Zhongyu gritted her teeth and understood what he meant. She felt inexplicably resentful of the rich, and she said, "Master, please give me 5000 taels of hard work."
She opened her mouth and asked for 5000 taels directly, but in Tan Haoran's eyes, it was just drizzle.
He frowned and said, "It's not right."
For his life, the government offered 10 taels of silver. Zhong Yulang had already saved his life before, and now he would risk his life to send him to Shannan Road. He could not fool the other party at will.
5000 taels of silver, too little, seems to be sending
Hanako.
Seeing that Qi Zhongyu had a tendency to get angry, he hurriedly said: "How about this, I will give you 20 taels as a repayment after the Xinrijiao is assigned the helm."
Two... 20 taels.
Qi Zhongyu almost wanted to cover his chest, and suddenly understood why there is a saying that is so popular in modern times, that is, to be friends with local tyrants and embrace golden thighs.
She now has a local rich friend, who casually gave 20 taels, which is really rich and powerful.
Qi Zhongyu was a little powerless, and said: "If you are not in charge, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Since you want to be the new leader of Xinrijiao, you can't be so extravagant. Just give me 1 taels, and return 20 taels. Are you dissatisfied?"
Tan Haoran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but his heart felt warm.
After he lost his crown, he helped his father manage the church's finances, and finally discovered his talent in business. In just a few years, he multiplied the money he plundered from everywhere by several times.
20 taels is just a month's income of the Xinrijiao. Although it is indeed a lot, it is nothing compared to his own life.
He explained to Zhong Yulang in detail, after Qi Zhongyu finished listening, he took a few steps back and sat on the stool to stabilize his body so as not to be too shocked and fall to the ground.
Ever since she crossed over to this different world, she has been a poor person. Although she occasionally got rich suddenly, she got it through improper means. She has no savings in time.
When he had the most money, it was only about 1 taels, and Tan Haoran just told him that the wealth accumulated by Xinrijiao over the years was as high as tens of millions of taels...
Really, a real local tyrant, more than 1000 million taels, Qi Zhongyu dare not even think about it.
She looked at Tan Haoran, as if she was looking at a gleaming vault, Tan Haoran was terrified by his look, and said: "How about it, I will give you 20 taels as a thank you gift, it's not too much."
Qi Zhongyu shook his head blankly, and then said with a smile: This is really the first time I have encountered someone who tried hard to persuade people to collect money.
She still felt that 20 taels of silver was too hot, so she hesitated and said, "For a discount, just give me 10 taels, and I will be able to eat and wear for the rest of my life."
Tan Haoran thought for a while, and nodded with a smile. He never thought of giving Zhong Yulang a sum of money to cancel his kindness and friendship.
He gave the 10 taels to the other party. When the power of Xinrijiao grows stronger and enters the troubled times as expected, no matter whether Qi Zhongyu is willing to help him conquer the world, he will leave a place for the other party and his relatives to settle down. Place.
However, it is too early to say these things now, he was sweating after drinking the medicine, Qi Zhongyu went to boil hot water to scrub him and change the dressing, of course Tan Haoran did it himself in the private place, she only wiped the injured wound nearby.
After taking the good medicine, Qi Zhongyu fed him a few more pills to heal the internal injuries. After taking the medicine, Tan Haoran became sleepy and soon fell asleep.
In the next two days, while treating Tan Haoran's injuries, Qi Zhongyu went to the city to collect dry food and supplies, and went to the market to buy a carriage. When she was ready, she went to a tailor shop and bought a few sets of clothes.
Inadvertently caught a glimpse of a women's dress, she had an idea, and suddenly had an idea.
So, on the morning of the third day, he drove towards the gate of the city as soon as he drove the carriage. Qi Zhongyu sat on the carriage and drove the horses. .
But after thinking about it, the county magistrate ordered that every carriage must be strictly searched. He showed an apologetic expression again, opened the curtain to check, and saw a young pregnant woman with a big belly sitting inside, about twenty At his early age, he looks gentle and beautiful.
He was a little dazed, thinking that although Qi Zhongyu was married, but the wife is a delicate girl in her teens, when...
Thinking of a possibility, he smiled narrowly. Qi Zhongyu had no choice but to hand him another two coins, and said in a low voice, "I hope you can keep it secret for me, brother."
The guard blinked at her, and said, "Don't worry, I understand. That's fine, there is no demon sect hidden in the carriage, let's go out of the city gate."
Let's go. ”
Qi Zhongyu cupped his hands in thanks, jumped into the carriage and gave a "drive", and the horse pattered forward.
It wasn't until a long distance away that the city gate was invisible that a faint sigh sounded from inside the carriage, and the man's gentle and deep voice sounded a bit embarrassed, and said, "When can I change back into men's clothes?"
Qi Zhongyu thought for a while, and said: "The identity of a woman is safer, and you are thin and thin, not as rough as ordinary men, and with my disguise makeup, even the right protector can't recognize you, let alone other people Don't worry, you can change back to men's clothes when you leave Huainan Road."
Tan Haoran also knew that this method was excellent. When he discussed with Guardian You before, he never thought that there would be such a good method. Zhong Yulang is indeed a ghost, and when he dressed himself up, Tan Haoran looked at the glasses. He also couldn't recognize that the beautiful woman in the mirror was himself.
Although he looks a bit more handsome, he is not so feminine, so this is all due to Zhong Yulang.
What a wonderful man.
Tan Haoran sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he was glad that he had such a friend, that he could have such a confidant in this life, and that he would die without regret.
He took out a snack from the small cabinet beside him, moved it to the side of the car curtain, stretched out his hand and handed it to Qi Zhongyu, saying: "After walking for such a long distance, be hungry, let's have a piece of pastry."
Qi Zhongyu thanked him and said, "Now that we have a good way to hide our identities, there is no need to take the side road. Let's take the main road and leave Huainan Road in an open and honest manner, which can save us a lot of time on detours."
Tan Haoran nodded, calculated in his mind for a moment, and said: "If you take the main road, it will only take a few days to leave Huainan Road, and then..."
He was a little sad. When he arrived in Shannan Road, he was about to be separated from his good friend. He said goodbye today, and he didn't know when he would see him again.
Qi Zhongyu's next sentence dispelled the sadness in his heart, and the other party said: "Don't forget my thank you."
Tan Haoran couldn't help laughing, knowing that the other party was not a money lover, but he didn't want to make himself think too much, so he responded with a gentle smile.
Qi Zhongyu said: "You took the medicine powder from the cabinet, rubbed it on the wound and bandaged it, and then took the medicine again. In the evening, when we arrive at the next county, I will decoct the medicine for you to nourish your body."
When Tan Haoran thought of the taste of the tonic, his face wrinkled unconsciously, but he also knew that taking the medicine was good for his health, and it was specially fried by Qi Zhongyu, so he couldn't be too picky.
He gave himself medicine, and after taking the pill, he felt sleepy, and he lay down in the car and fell asleep.
The first day was uneventful.
The next day, he was safe and sound.
On the third day, everything was calm.
On the fourth day, although it rained heavily and delayed for half a day, the journey after that was still smooth sailing.
On the fifth day, it was only a day's journey from Shannan Road, and it was also the most critical road, because anyone with a brain knows that if the remnants of the Demon Cult want to leave Huainan Road, they will be surrounded by heaven and earth, and they can only escape to Xinri. Only Shannan Road, where religious influence is widely distributed, has a glimmer of life.
Therefore, when the carriage was driving on the road this day, Qi Zhongyu keenly sensed many malicious gazes.
Even several times, they were blocked by officials to check the contents of the carriage and saw a young pregnant woman hiding inside. They couldn't help being disappointed, but the pregnant woman was so beautiful that they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Then he snorted coldly at Qi Zhongyu a few times, expressing his jealousy.
