Chapter 51 "Assassins"

Shu Lang led the convoy and finally arrived at the princess' mansion. Shen Guangming probed it curiously and found that it was very quiet and the road was clean and spacious.He could tell at a glance that this was a place where rich families lived together, and he couldn't help but feel a little eager to try.

After the concubine got out of the car, Shu Lang carried her into the red lacquered gate with the Chinese character "wooden" lantern hanging on his back.A group of people took their luggage and walked in one after another.Except for Shen Guangming, the rest of the people were familiar with this place. He was very curious, but unfortunately no one communicated with him, so he had to look at the dead leaves hanging on the branches and pass by in silence.

After everyone packed up, they stood in the corridor one after another.Shen Guangming didn't know what they were waiting for, so he also stood upright at the end of the line.After standing for a while, Shu Lang came out and saw it, frowning greatly.

"What are you doing standing there, come and take care of the concubine mother." He said to Shen Guangming, "Do you still want to go back?"

Shen Guangming ran towards him and asked curiously, "Go back?"

Shu Lang led him zigzag inside, and told him how to resettle these people.

Because these Di people don't understand Chinese, it's not easy to be treated in Lingyong City, so after sending Mindal here, they will return to the grassland, like this every year.This mansion was Mindal's home before she got married, and now her relatives are gone, only one cousin lives here to help take care of it.There used to be servants in the mansion, so there was no need for other people to serve them.

"I understand what Concubine Mother means. She is homesick, so naturally she also thinks you are homesick." Shu Lang walked a few steps, turned to look at Shen Guangming, "Or do you want to go back to the grassland?"

"No return, no return." Shen Guangming said quickly.

Shu Lang snorted and laughed: "Yes, I bought you as a slave, so you naturally hate me, why are you still willing to go back?"

Shen Guangming shook his head and said, "How can the young one hate the prince. It's all because the prince is not on the grassland, the desert is desolate and the winter grass is withered, and the young one can't follow the prince when he goes back. What's the point?"

He stared intently at Shu Lang, with a pair of bright eyes that he dared not blink to show his sincerity.

Shu Lang: "..."

He was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and coughed, then roared ferociously: "Get out! Serve the concubine mother! Don't use your tongue to deceive people!"

Shen Guangming bowed repeatedly, suppressed a smile and rolled in.

The concubine's cousin who lives in the mansion is a scholar, sitting in a wooden wheelchair.He came in calmly, said a few words and went out again.

When Mindal returned to the city, his complexion improved a lot, and he was able to stand up reluctantly.Seeing that Shen Guangming was curious about the wheelchair under the man, she explained it to him.

The scholar's name was Xu Zichuan, he failed many times, and later returned to Lingyong City due to the death of his parents. Since then, he has been teaching Shu Lang to study and never left.His legs were not what they used to be. More than ten years ago, he didn't return home for a few days. His family thought he was determined to get promoted and make a fortune, so he went to rush for the exam again, and didn't look for it carefully.As a result, a few days later, he was found outside the city by the city guards. His bones below his knees were all broken, and he could never stand up again.

"He really couldn't leave, so Lang'er has been learning from him. My cousin doesn't like Mu Le, and I don't know why, but fortunately he still loves Lang'er." Mindal recalled, "He I don’t know who beat him like this, but he was blindfolded for a few days and didn’t know anything.”

But Shen Guangming asked: "A big living person disappeared, and the family didn't even look for it carefully? Are his pen and ink and materials for the exam still there?"

Mindal took a deep look at him: "It's all there. His clothes are also there, and he didn't take away his shoes, socks or money."

Shen Guangming: "...Then it's unreasonable. This shows that people definitely didn't leave by themselves."

"Okay... Actually, he was having a hot fight with a lady in the city at the time, and that woman disappeared after her cousin disappeared, so everyone thought the two of them had eloped." Mindal's tone suddenly changed into gossip, " That woman is very beautiful, she was the most beautiful woman in Lingyong City back then."

Shen Guangming flattered at the right time: "It's impossible to be more beautiful than you, the princess, right?"

He said it casually and then laughed.Mindal and the maids beside her laughed when they saw how unreasonable his sycophant was.It's just that although he knew that he was flattering himself, Shen Guangming was clever and handsome. He flattered him, as if he was joking with others openly, without any trace of shyness or embarrassment. On the contrary, it made people feel more frank and interesting.

Mindal laughed and continued: "I'm already married, that's incomparable. The strange thing is that my cousin didn't leave with that girl. He said he was taken away outside the house. He didn't know why he left. The girl hasn't been found yet."

Shen Guangming listened with gusto.Since he was a child with Fang Dazao, he has developed the habit of listening to stories, and now Mindal casually talks about gossip that he has never heard of in Lingyong City, so he is even more interested.

The maids in the mansion don’t have as many rules as the king of Dongyuan. Seeing the concubine chatting and laughing with this ordinary-looking little slave, they gradually interrupted, and you told Shen Guangming what Mindal didn’t know. detail.

In these old events, Xu Zichuan became a rare literary star in Lingyong City and even in the whole world, uttering beautiful articles and writing majestic wind and rain.When he was 15 years old, he chanted a poem on the city wall of Lingyong City, which immediately won the favor of the oiran and the envy of all the talents in Lingyong City.That poem is still engraved on the wall, and it has been damaged by wind and rain.

I also heard that Xu Zichuan completed thirteen volumes of "Selected Poems of Gold and Jade" by himself, and judged the poems written by all the poets in the world. The judgment was unceremonious, and it excited writers from eighty-year-old to ten-year-old prodigy , Come to the door one after another to discuss the explanation.When Xu Zichuan came to see one, he received ten coins from the person, and discussed and debated with him for half a day.Over time, Xu Zichuan slowly saved money for a house.

"So the things in this mansion are repaired by my cousin. Don't think he can't walk, but he really knows astronomy and geography. I admire him very much." Mindal praised Xu Zichuan in every possible way.

They talked so much about Xu Zichuan that when Shen Guangming saw him wandering around the mansion at night, he couldn't help but stand up straight and respectfully say "Mr. Xu".

Xu Zichuan was very lofty, his eyes quickly circled Shen Guangming's face, he nodded casually, and walked away rattling his wheels.The black cat sleeping on his lap was curled up into a perfect circle. Shen Guangming looked at the cat's fur, then at the thick mink fur on Xu Zichuan's neck, and suddenly felt chills all over his body.

As he walked towards the servant's room, he silently recalled whether Shu Lang had said that he would distribute winter clothes to the slaves.

Turning the corner, Shen Guangming stopped suddenly.

Although these days were busy and chaotic, he practiced Da Lu Gong every morning and evening without daring to give up.It's not because I'm afraid of pain, but because I want to become more powerful as soon as possible.He also brought Lin Che's spirit card, as long as he thought about the things in the raging fire, he could immediately concentrate and stop thinking about other things.

Therefore, his internal strength has indeed improved.

Shen Guangming stayed motionless against the wall.

Although there are guards with strong martial arts in the mansion, this is a servant's room, and the guards and Shu Lang are on Mindal's side, so the defense here is much looser.

He listened intently, and he was sure that there was another person's breathing on the roof tiles above his head.

The comer was also a master, his steps were light and almost silent. If it wasn't for his breathing, Shen Guangming would not have noticed it.

The man also seemed to be aware of someone below, lying on the roof without moving.

Shen Guangming wanted to call someone, but was afraid that the assassin would finish him off with a few pokes, so he had to look around to see if there was anything he could borrow.

Just as he was thinking, there was a light sound on the roof—the man got up and ran in the direction of Mindal!

Shen Guangming quickly ran after him.His internal strength has grown, and his daily work has also exercised his muscles, and his speed is not slow.He was still afraid of death, he didn't dare to scream, he just looked closely at the man on the roof, and ran with him on the ground.

The man crossed the two houses, and seemed to find Shen Guangming very troublesome. Although he kept walking, he grabbed his arms and took out several gleaming things.

Shen Guangming couldn't help but say: This guy has hidden weapons!

He happened to run into the middle of a garden, and there was no shelter anywhere, and there was no way to avoid it.

The assassin in black turned his head, and several thin hidden weapons really flew towards Shen Guangming.Shen Guangming happened to be standing under a lantern, and the candlelight reflected his entire face clearly.

The hidden weapon had just arrived in front of him, but the assassin came first and then arrived, and landed in front of Shen Guangming with a thud, reaching out and grabbing the flying flakes into his hand.

Shen Guangming was surprised when the assassin grabbed him by the collar and dragged him behind the rockery: "Shen Guangming? Why are you here?"

Shen Guangming: "...Who are you?"

The assassin tore off the mask on his face, revealing a rather handsome but unfriendly face.

"Oh!" Shen Guangming almost yelled in joy, "Master Chi!"

Chi Yebai nodded: "It's me..."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so good-looking." Shen Guangming looked at him happily.

Chi Yebai was silent for a moment, then put on the mask again: "Stop talking nonsense, people from the Shaoyi League are looking for you."

He recalled the scene when he saw Shen Guangming that day.He remembered that this young man stood behind Lin Shaoyi together with Tang Ou. Tang Ou was Lin Shaoyi's close friend, so this young man should be Lin Shaoyi's follower.Chi Yebai thought that Lin Shaoyi asked someone to draw a portrait, and made a special trip to Yingbeishe to ask for help, so he logically thought that Shen Guangming must be a member of Shaoyi League.

Tang Daxia is helping his best friend find someone.He made sure of one more thing.

"The Shaoyi League is looking for you hard, and some people have come to Lingyong City." Chi Yebai whispered, "Why are you here?"

After Shen Guangming finished speaking in a few words, his eyes were full of excitement: he was very sure now that he could finally leave.

"Master Chi, why are you here?" he asked.

"The doctor who came to see the doctor of Princess Dongyuan, the so-called holy hand Tu Gan." Chi Yebai said bluntly, "Where is he?"

"I haven't seen him yet." Shen Guangming asked casually, "Is anyone in your family sick?"

Chi Yebai: "It's not from my family, it's Bailiji."

Shen Guangming was shocked: "?!"

On the night of the fire, Shen Guangming was unclear about many things, so Chi Yebai briefly told him about Bailiji's fate.When talking about Baili Ji killing Liu Shushu and Fang Dazao, he was surprised to see Shen Guangming biting his lower lip tightly, with tears in his round eyes.

"You, what's wrong with you?" Chi Yebai didn't know the relationship between Shen Guangming and Fang Dazao and the others, so he hurriedly asked.He had always spoken indifferently, but now his tone was as gentle as possible.

Shen Guangming lowered his head, covered his face with his sleeve, and said in a low voice that it was all right.

He said nothing, but couldn't put down his sleeves.After finally taking it back, the next moment he quickly raised his hand to cover his eyes.

Chi Yebai knew that he was crying, but he didn't know why.He raised his hand stiffly, and patted Shen Guangming's shoulder a few times as comfort.

"Are those two people familiar with you?" He asked.

Shen Guangming still didn't dare to look up, so he paused to answer.

"Bailiji didn't get any better. He fell into the Yulan River and was washed away by the river for dozens of miles. When people from the Sima family picked him up, he was only half breathed." Chi Yebai said solemnly, " But he is an important witness in this matter and cannot just die like this."

Sima Feng and Chi Yebai came with their own people that night, but they arrived a bit late.When everyone was crossing the river, they accidentally found Bailiji, which looked like a floating corpse.He was covered in blood and fell into a coma. Sima Feng immediately ordered someone to send him to the nearest property of the Sima family for placement.A doctor used medicine to hang Bailiji to death, but Bailiji was unconscious and of little use.Sima Feng immediately suggested to Chi Yebai that Chi Yebai use his intelligence network to find the legendary sage Tu Gan.It is said that Tu Gan has a magical medical book that can bring the dead back to life. If he can save Bailiji, he can naturally ask many things from Bailiji.

After Chi Yebai communicated with Lin Shaoyi, Lin Shaoyi also agreed to the proposal.If Bailiji can survive, he will be able to tell what Xin Jiabao and Xin Muyun are planning.Xin Muyun did not show up from the beginning to the end, Shaoyi League has not experienced and time to find the troubles of Xin Jiabao.

"It's not too late to let him die when you ask Shaoyimeng what he wants to know." Chi Yebai said seriously, "You may not know that the Sima family is a family of punishment, and Sima Feng knows too much about torture. too much."

Shen Guangming nodded.Chi Yebai was about to tell him about Sima Feng's methods in detail, when he suddenly remembered the business of his trip.He immediately turned his head to look at Mindal: "Is the princess asleep?"

When he said this, Shen Guangming couldn't care less about being sad, and hurriedly dragged him: "Don't catch the princess, I can help you pay attention to the news of the holy hand Tu Gan. The princess is very good, but now she is sick again, I will help you Let's be late."

Chi Yebai thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, then I won't go. Remember to pay attention tomorrow, and I will come back tomorrow night to discuss with you how to get you out."

He casually wiped the wet marks on Shen Guangming's face, handed him a few hidden weapons just now for self-defense, turned around and planned to jump on the wall and turn over - but Shen Guangming grabbed his belt suddenly.

Chi Yebai: "...let go, I hate when people touch my belt."

"I'm asking two things." Shen Guangming sniffled, "Do you know how my sister Shen Qing is doing now?"

"I've never heard of this name." Chi Yebai shook off his hand.

Shen Guangming: "Then besides the people from Shaoyi League, is there anyone else looking for me?"

Chi Yebai thought about it, Tang Ou also helped Lin Shaoyi to find him, so he should also be included in the Shaoyi League.He shook his head: "No."

Shen Guangming was a little disappointed, wiped his nose, and waved to Chi Yebai: "Okay. Be careful, Master Chi, see you tomorrow."

Chi Yebai, who jumped on the wall, paused for a moment, then turned around, and said awkwardly: "Don't be sad. Good people will have a good life, and those villains will have their retribution. You practice martial arts well, and you can avenge those two people in the future." , to comfort the spring.”

After he finished speaking, he found that Shen Guangming pursed his lips tightly and his face was also wrinkled, as if he was holding back his tears.

Chi Yebai suddenly felt at a loss.He really didn't know how to comfort people, so he waved his hands carelessly, jumped off the wall and left.

Shen Guangming stood in the dark for a while before slowly walking out.Chi Yebai's hidden weapons were made of strange materials. He looked at them for a long time by the light, and found that they were made of shells, with sharp edges and smooth body.

He walked back slowly, clutching the hidden weapons made of shells tightly in his hand.

Broken branches fell on the roof tiles, making a soft clicking sound, much like the footsteps of people running briskly.

Shen Guangming stood under the eaves and listened blankly for a while.

Where's Tang Ou?Why didn't Tang Ou come?He wanted to ask, but didn't dare to ask.

Chi Yebai spent a lot of effort to find Tang Ou the next day, but Lingyong City is too big, Tang Ou is very skilled, and he mobilized all the people in Yingbeishe in Lingyong City, but he did not find Tang Ou Gull traces.

At night, he went to look for Shen Guangming, because there was no news about Shaoyimeng, so he didn't want to mention it rashly, so as not to make Shen Guangming happy in vain.

"Today I saw the Holy Hand Tu Gan." Shen Guangming excitedly unfolded a piece of paper, "This is a portrait of Tu Gan."

Chi Yebai quickly took it over and examined it carefully.

The holy hand Tu Gan is a genius doctor with an eccentric temper.Miraculous doctors in the world often value chivalrous fame, but Tu Gan is very strange, he loves money.The legend is that his family members were seriously ill and died suddenly more than ten years ago. At that time, they happened to be penniless and unable to treat any of them.Tu Gan is indeed alone, and he can help people see a doctor if he has money.He has excellent medical skills, but his reputation is not good.

The man in the portrait is about forty years old, with a full beard, not as clean and tidy as an ordinary doctor.

"He prescribed some medicine and said that he needed to use needles. I wrote it down." Shen Guangming said, "I can recite it to you."

He could draw, but he didn't know how to write, and the names of those herbs were even more difficult to pronounce. He briefly told Chi Yebai a few words, and Chi Yebai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to listen.

"These are useless to me. Bailiji's condition is different from that of the princess. Where is Tu Gan?"

Tu Gan lived in the mansion, which was arranged by Xu Zichuan.Shen Guangming was walking on the ground, and Chi Yebai followed him quietly on the tree house.When meeting patrolling people, Shen Guangming said to go to Shu Lang, and when he finally met Shu Lang, he said to go to Brother A or Brother B who was on duty at night, and the journey was unimpeded.

Tu Gan was not there.The boy in the courtyard said that Doctor Butcher went out at night, and he hasn't returned yet.Chi Yebai couldn't stay on guard all the time, so he decided to come back another day.Shen Guangming bid farewell to him briefly, and ran into Shu Lang again when returning the same way.

"Why do you keep walking around?" Shu Lang asked him suspiciously, "Are you trying to steal something with someone from outside?"

Shen Guangming: "No, no."

Shu Lang: "Then what are you doing at Doctor Butcher's place?"

Shen Guangming didn't turn his eyes, and immediately replied: "I'm not used to it, it's too cold here. My hands and feet are cold, and I want to ask Dr. Tu if it's not enough qi in the middle, or too weak yang qi and too much yin qi."

Shu Lang couldn't understand these words, he frowned and stared at Shen Guangming.Although I felt that the Han boy was very suspicious, I couldn't tell what was wrong.Shu Lang didn't continue to embarrass him anymore, and ordered the slaves directly?Shen Guangming went to fetch water for him to soak his feet and prepare for bed.

Chi Yebai, who was standing outside the wall and hadn't left yet, happened to hear his conversation with Shu Lang, and felt very sympathetic.

He went up and down several times in the night, when he passed Yangweizhai, he suddenly saw a figure sitting and drinking on the top of the tall building, it was Tang Ou.

Tang Ou has wine in his left hand and a sword in his right. In the frosty autumn air, he looks at the moon and the world at the same time.

Chi Yebai rushed to the roof, Tang Ou raised the wine in his hand to him: "This wine is too sweet, not tasteful enough."

"...Why do you still drink this kind of wine when you're here?" Chi Yebai didn't answer, "I've been looking for you all day today, and I saw Shen Guangming."

Tang Ou was taken aback for a moment, and immediately stood up.The jug rolled down from the roof with a thud, fell to the ground and shattered, and let out a continuous bark.

"I became a slave in a house of Princess Di Ren." Chi Yebai pointed behind him, "Poor thing, it's late at night, and I have to wash the feet of Prince Di Ren."
