After taking the pulse, the Taoist priest carefully checked Princess Rui again. After learning that the old woman had wiped her body, he brought the old woman in and carefully inquired about Princess Rui's condition. Then he shook his head and sighed, and told the old woman to buy an old hen immediately, kill it and make some chicken soup.
Then he took out a very small ginseng and some medicinal materials from the tattered baggage on his body and asked her to put it in while making chicken soup. He also told the old woman how long the chicken soup should be simmered, how and when to put these medicinal materials into the chicken soup. Still a little worried, he asked the leader to send a subordinate to help or supervise.
After doing all this, he turned to the leader and said: "Her injuries are nothing. Most of them are skin wounds, which are not too serious. She was just raped many times, and two private parts of her body were injured." All parts were severely injured, causing some diseases. Although it is a bit more difficult, it is not a big problem."
"As for the current coma, it is because her body has not eaten for several days and is too weak. In addition, she was cold, starved and abused, and was forcibly strangled to faint. In fact, she is very lucky. If her body was not too weak, her breath would have been Not enough. It confused the person who did it so that he didn’t use so much force when he did it, so he was lucky enough to save his life."
"If the person who did it was even a little stronger, I'm afraid you would only get a corpse when you arrive. But now, although the body is too weak, as long as the chicken soup can be poured in, it should be It’s not a big problem. Once she calms down, Pindao will give her a few times of acupuncture. I’ll also give her a pair of trauma medicine, and she should be able to recover in a short time.”
"It's just that as a member of the Tianhuang family and a dignified prince and concubine, how could she be so mistreated? No, I heard a few days ago that King Rui failed to rebel and set his family on fire and committed suicide? How is she still alive and successful? She looked like this? Who are you, and where did you find her?"
Having said this, he looked at the suspicious eyes of the people in front of him and said with a faint smile: "Pindao asked who you are. I'm afraid you also want to ask who Pindao is and how you know this person. In fact, there is no one." There is nothing to doubt, Princess Rui herself is a sincere person. Prince Rui loves this princess very much, and the temple where Pindao lives is very close to his other courtyard."
"In the first two years after taking over the domain, I often invited Pindao to go to the palace to pray for blessings. Although the palace has stopped operating the temple in recent years, it has only been a few years. Although Pindao is old, he is not so forgetful. . After all, this Princess Rui was once the biggest benefactor in Pindao’s temple, so it’s hard to forget her.”
The Taoist priest's previous reply made the leader slightly relieved. However, he could not answer the subsequent inquiry immediately. He just said lightly: "We don't know the reason for what you asked about. We are just traveling businessmen, and we found her in a mass grave by chance. Seeing that she was still breathing, we brought her here .”
In response to his answer, the Taoist priest shook his head and said with a faint smile: "I'm afraid you are not foot traders. If the poor Taoist guessed correctly, you have all seen blood on your hands, and you are not ordinary people who have seen blood. . Young man, although you and your subordinates are trying their best to hide it, you have a strong murderous aura. A businessman does not have such bloody aura and murderous aura in his body."
The Taoist priest's words made the leader slightly stunned. But then he smiled and said: "Why did the Taoist say this? We are just a group of miserable businessmen. We only sell some porcelain to make a living. If we say we have killed chickens and ducks, that is of course. As for the murderous intention, I don’t understand, and I don’t feel any murderous intent.”
Seeing that this man didn't want to tell the truth, the Taoist priest didn't press the question further, he just smiled lightly. After the chicken soup was boiled, Princess Rui drank it little by little and took her pulse carefully. Then he said to the concerned leader: "Okay, she will wake up in half an hour, and her life is basically saved."
"However, it will take a long time to rest in bed. Since you have rescued her, it is no longer necessary to have two masters. Presumably, as long as you rescue her and send her back to the capital, the court will give you a heavy reward. So. , whether it’s true or false, there should be no harm in you staying here for a few more days.”
After hearing the Taoist priest's words, the leader's brows, which had not relaxed all this time, became even tighter. He did not reply immediately, but quietly considered something. Just when the room fell into silence, the subordinate he left behind to deal with the funeral came over. But one of them covered his arm and said anxiously: "Boss, we can't stay here any longer."
"As soon as we finished handling the rest of the matter, we were targeted. Although the identity of the person targeting us was unknown, he was obviously a veteran. We tried our best, but we still couldn't get rid of the spy behind us. . There is no other way but to kill him. That man is not weak in martial arts, and if it were any one of us alone, he might not be his opponent."
"While killing that man, I was bitten back. However, what we are most worried about is that he is not the only one who found and followed us. It is no longer safe here, and we must leave here immediately. Here We are still a little too close to the King of Shu's residence. Once they find our traces, they will definitely search for us with all their strength."
Having said this, the two men put the three wooden waist tags in their hands on the table: "These were found from the people who were following us and those two people. Judging from the style of the waist tags and the writing on them, , they should all be from the Shu Palace. We have too few people, and once they are discovered, we will not be able to fight against them."
The leader picked up the waist badges and looked at them, and found that the appearance of these waist badges was exactly the same. Only the writing and patterns on the top are slightly different. One has a dog pattern engraved on the front, and Mi Zhui Jiu Shi Qi on the back. On the other side, a sword and a shield are engraved on the front, and on the back are the words of Secret Guards 4 Shier and Lu Shisan.
Think about it, these two waist tags with the words "Secret Guard" engraved on them were found from the bodies of the two people who came out of the palace of the King of Shu. Lima sensed the danger, and the leader immediately ordered without saying a word: "You go find a carriage immediately, buy some bedding from the people and put it on the carriage. We are going to leave here and return to Beijing immediately."
After explaining to his subordinates, he turned back to look at the Taoist priest who looked a little slovenly, cupped his hands and said: "Originally, there were some words that the Taoist priest should not have heard, and I think the Taoist priest has heard them now. Those things that the Taoist priest should not have seen originally, The Taoist priest also saw it. We can’t stay here any longer now, we are leaving soon.”
"However, in order to ensure the safety of the patient on the road and to keep some secrets, we also ask the Taoist priest to accompany us. After the patient is completely out of danger, we will reward the Taoist priest heavily. Please rest assured, Taoist priest, We will never do anything detrimental to the Taoist priest."
After he finished speaking, facing his unavoidable tone, the old Taoist could only smile bitterly and said: "You have said so, how can I still refuse? Forget it, I will go with you. In this moment, She has been away from the capital for decades, and it’s time to go back and have a look. However, the young and old of this family should also be brought with her. After all, she is a woman, and there are some things that you men are not easy to deal with. "
Since the Taoist priest agreed, the leader naturally didn't care. Taking this family with him is just four more people for him. And what the Taoist said made sense. Princess Rui was injured. It's really not very convenient for them, a group of old men, to get some medicine or relieve their hands.
As for the young and old of the family, the leader had no intention of reasoning with them at all. After the old man and the carriage were recovered, facing the somewhat resistant family, the leader drew his sword and forcibly took the family away. It’s just that at this time, we don’t know how the mountain king plans to deal with this family of theirs. We still don’t know that it is this move that allowed their family to escape.
And while they were waiting for the Taoist priest, a major event also happened in the palace of the King of Shu, which was only more than thirty miles away. After a long night of tossing, he had just snatched away the two beautiful maids from Prince Rui's palace, and the King of Shu woke up from his pink arms and jade legs. While he was having his meal, he received an urgent imperial edict from eight hundred miles away from the capital.
After receiving the imperial edict, the King of Shu was completely angry. Even his most beloved jade bowl, which he carried with him wherever he went and was necessary for every meal, was completely carved from Hetian white jade and was smashed to pieces by him. However, when Lu Wentao arrived in response to the call, King Shu was already calmly and attentively eating his breakfast, with no trace of anger on his face.
However, King Shu's left hand holding the bowl clenched the bowl hard. Judging from the frightened expressions of the people waiting around. Although I still don’t know what the imperial edict contains. But Lu Wentao still felt that the imperial edict might be quite detrimental to the King of Shu.
Sure enough, after seeing Lu Wentao, King Shu put down his bowl and chopsticks and waved for others to leave. Although he wanted to have a calm expression on his face, clenching his teeth still made his expression a bit ferocious: "Sir, you don't know yet. I have just received the imperial decree, allowing me to return to the capital."
King Shu's words made Lu Wentao slightly stunned. Then he asked: "What about Ruijian camp? Who has it been handed over to? And the King of England, has the emperor recalled you all? At this time, the emperor is urgently recruiting you to return to the capital. Could it be that the emperor has begun to doubt you? ? No, there must be something to this."
"Ruijian Camp returned to the capital last night. When I led the army to Ruzhou, the commander of Ruijian Camp who was left behind by me in the capital, together with the military attachés who stayed behind, had already brought troops from Bianzhou, Nanyang, From Xinyang, the 7,000 guards transferred from Xinyang rushed to Ruzhou and took over the military command of Ruijian Camp again. They had already set off with Ruijian Camp last night."
"As for those people whom I have placed in Ruijian Camp, they have been taking over the defense of Ruzhou. The new Ruzhou Defense Envoy was detained until this morning and was not released until this morning. The envoy recommended by me was directly transferred to Fujian Deputy Envoy Lu Jiedu took up his post last night under the escort of people from Nanzhen Fusi."
"And in Zhengzhou, my father not only appointed that bitch with full power to deal with the aftermath of Zhengzhou. He also gave him the privilege of making decisions on the spur of the moment without asking for orders. He even left half of the Xiaoqi battalion's horses in Zhengzhou for him. He became a guard. This ninth brother of my king is now different from what he used to be."
Lu Wentao's doubts did not last long. The King of Shu gave him an unexpected reply in an extremely cold tone. Even though he thought he was very resourceful and decisive, Lu Wentao was also confused by this dazzling move. He did not expect that the emperor would do so thoroughly this time and transfer Rui Jianying away so quietly.
