[Xiye] Sword Bearer

At this time, not long after dawn, Lu Xiaofeng untied the horse that was driving, and rode to Hefangzhai.Hefangzhai didn't have a single customer yet, so he called the shopkeeper first, and quietly handed him the prescription, which also contained a letter from Ximen Chuuxue to arrange various affairs.The shopkeeper is the old family of Ximen Chuuxue, so after reading it, he will naturally understand it.Even the shopkeeper didn't know about it, so the shopkeeper stuffed the note into the stove in the back kitchen, destroying the corpse and obliterating all traces.

During this interval, Lu Xiaofeng ordered a set of assorted snacks according to the menu, the quantity of snacks was not much, but he ordered the biggest food box.

Lu Xiaofeng said: "The medicines for internal and external application must be done as soon as possible, and put them in a snack box. I will pick them up in the afternoon."

Then Lu Xiaofeng needed to go to the coffin shop.

There are many coffin shops in the capital, and people avoid taboos, so no plaques are hung, and they are called mast factories or wood factories, and they also serve as shroud paper figurines.Most of the boards in the wood factory are southern wood, which are transported to Beijing by water along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

This kind of shops are all opened in remote places, Lu Xiaofeng only arrived after half an hour's horse riding.

At this time it was already daylight, Lu Xiaofeng wanted to let people know, so he was picky and selective in the wood factory, this plank was not good, that painter was not good, and he tossed and tossed the coffin shop for a long time.Lu Xiaofeng first called for gloomy wood, and then golden nanmu, but there is no such rare material in stock in the shop, and in the words of the staff: "Use golden nanmu, are you really not afraid of overstepping?"

It should be said that this thing was originally produced in the south, and the rich and powerful families in the southeast really wanted to use it, and they could afford it, but it was only used by the royal family when it was shipped to the capital, and the rich might not dare to use it.

In the end, according to the standards of the dignitaries in the north, I picked a pair of ready-made fir thirteen rounds. This material is made up of thirteen fir trees, which is liked by people in Beijing.Lu Xiaofeng was also acting on the spot, and he didn't really want to bury people in it, the cedar is just the cedar.The surface is painted with black faded lacquer, which is a cliché of Fu Lu Shou painted by the goldsmith, and the inside is painted with red silver vermilion lacquer, which is called black face red.That's what Lu Xiaofeng decided, and asked the shop to arrange carriages and horses to take them to the inn where they stayed the next day.

Lu Xiaofeng started picking out the shroud again, bought everything inside and out, packed it up and carried it with him.

It has been more than an hour, and he rode to the clothing store again, this time he really wanted to buy practical clothes, after all, Ye Gucheng couldn't be covered in blood all the time, and Ximen Chuuxue couldn't be shirtless all the time.

According to ordinary people's perception, plain clothes are too unlucky, so the plain clothes that Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng often wear are not easy to buy in clothing stores, and they are all made by their own tailors.Lu Xiaofeng went to three tailor-made clothing shops to get three sets of clothes inside and outside, and made another bundle, and let the horse stun together with the shroud.

It was not early, and Lu Xiaofeng came to Hefangzhai as agreed, it was already noon, he himself had been busy since last night, and he ate a set of Soviet-style dim sum given by Ximen Chuuxue before the decisive battle (Let Lu Xiaofeng take the order with him before the battle) The Cantonese-style dim sum sent to Ye Gucheng has been eaten by the hungry Ximen Chuixue, he not only bears the sword of two people, but also bears the appetite of two people), he can't wait to get the new dim sum right away.

The snack box was heavy, Lu Xiaofeng knew that there was medicine in it, so she didn't think it was strange at all, thanked the shopkeeper, and took the box out of the store.

Not two steps away from leading the horse, he heard someone shouting "Daxia Lu".

Hearing this voice, Lu Xiaofeng's heart sank.

Although his heart sank, he still had to put on a social smile on his face, Lu Xiaofeng turned his head to look, and saw that Mr. Yin Xian, one of the four masters in the university, was walking towards him.

Yin Xian saluted Lu Xiaofeng when he saw Lu Xiaofeng bowed his head, Lu Xiaofeng felt a little embarrassed.

Yin Xian said: "Last night's matter, thanks to Lu Daxia's ingenious calculation, timely rescue is equivalent to saving the lives of my brothers and several people. I came here to find Lu Daxia on the order of Your Majesty. There are still many things that need to be deliberated about last night. Your Majesty ordered I invite Daxia Lu to enter the palace for a talk."

Of course Lu Xiaofeng did not dare to enter the palace. Once the box containing the medicine is found, it is difficult to explain. Even if he is not found, it is not known how long the emperor will keep him. If it takes a long time, what will happen to the two people in the inn? In critical condition, Ximen Chuuxue couldn't leave - it wasn't that he couldn't come out, but he was worried that there would be no one in the room during this period, and Ye Gucheng would be discovered.

Lu Xiaofeng said politely: "I still have something to do, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to enter the palace."

Yin Xian had already seen the burden on his horse's back, and said, "Daxia Lu is helping Ye Gucheng with his funeral. It's not too late. Your Majesty's time is much more valuable than your gold, so I will leave you for a while at most." carve."

Yin Xian looked at the food box in Lu Xiaofeng's hand again: "Maybe Lu Daxia hasn't eaten his lunch yet, his superiors have already ordered him to wait for his own wine and meat when he enters the palace."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled: "I bought this snack for Ximen Chuuxue, if he sees that I won't go back..."

Yin Xian said: "Then Ximen Chuuxue is a three-year-old child. He is a big man with hands and feet. If you don't go back, won't he know how to buy something to eat? Hero Lu wants the emperor to come and not board the boat."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't think of any explanation for the moment, if he confronted Yin Xian hard, it would attract suspicion instead, so he nodded and followed Yin Xian to the palace.

When the eunuch of Yuyuan stopped Lu Xiaofeng and asked him to open the box to check, Lu Xiaofeng regretted carrying this snack box from Hefangzhai to death.

Lu Xiaofeng stretched out his hand to press the lid of the box: "Eunuch, don't worry, it's just Hefangzhai's dim sum."

The eunuch didn't buy it: "What place do you think this is? Inside the palace! Everything that comes in from outside will be strictly investigated!"

Lu Xiaofeng really wanted to drop the box and run away, but if he really did, he would only feel guilty even more.

The little eunuch at the side lifted the lid of the snack box, Lu Xiaofeng squinted his eyes and peeked at it secretly, thinking in his heart that it was impossible, he could only say that Hefangzhai had packed the wrong things, and he hadn't had time to look at it——

Under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, the box was covered with a layer of cakes, and there was nothing else.

Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the box has a sandwich.

The father-in-law who was interrogating was not good at letting go, and motioned to investigate the lower levels.

Lu Xiaofeng's heart was in his throat, if the medicine was found in the interlayer, no one would believe the reason that He Fangzhai had packed the wrong thing, or else, say that Ximen Chuuxue was injured——

When the upper layer is opened, there are several sweet soups with dim sum, such as red bean paste glutinous rice rice cake soup, white fungus and lotus seed soup, eight-treasure tea and so on.

The little eunuch moved these small porcelain bowls, but he couldn't find anything else, he searched Lu Xiaofeng's body and found no iron objects, and with Yin Xian leading the way, the gatekeeper eunuch motioned him to go in.

Lu Xiaofeng was holding a snack box full of snacks and desserts, dumbfounded.

No, no—what about the medicine that you promised me to bring?

Ximen Chuuxue was anxiously waiting for the visitor at the inn.

Ye Gucheng was still unconscious, his body was cold, his breath was weak and short, his pulse was faint, and the wound that had been bandaged indiscriminately on the road did not really stop the bleeding.

Suddenly there was a commotion downstairs.

A guest who came from a long way, with a burden on his back, was travel-stained, spoke a foreign dialect, and couldn't move anymore. He dropped a coin and insisted on staying in the shop.

The shopkeeper of the inn said: "Guest officer, it's not that the money you gave is not enough, nor is it that we have money and do not make money, but that the inn has been booked down for funerals. There are dead people in this shop, so it is inconvenient to stay others. The sign of closing has been put up, and we also collect money from people and do things for them..."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, the guest had already rushed upstairs, and happened to grab the door next door to Ximen Chuixue, the shopkeeper followed behind, Ximen Chuuxue was sharp and sharp, grabbed a coat and put it on, and pushed the door out in a blink of an eye .

The shopkeeper had no choice but to make an apology: "My lord, you see, this customer has already paid, so he insists on staying at the shop..."

Ximen Chuuxue said coldly: "Then let him live in this room. No more people can come!"

The shopkeeper bowed again and again and hid downstairs.

The dusty guest did not open the door of the next room, and hurriedly said: "The owner, it's me!" He removed the fake beard and beard on his face while speaking, so it turned out to be the shopkeeper of Hefangzhai who received Lu Xiaofeng in the morning .

Ximen Chuuxue raised his hand and put his beard and moustache back on his face: "Okay, don't show your feet."

The shopkeeper of Hefangzhai went into the room and unwrapped the package, took out a whole set of new clothes, clean bandages, and bottled medicine, put them on the table and said: "After reading the owner's note, I ordered a few chefs The guy from my house went to buy medicine, arranged snacks for Daxia Lu, and delivered things to the owner himself."

"Lu Xiaofeng is too ostentatious when he goes out, I dare not let him bring the medicine." Ximen Chuuxue put on new clothes, as if unintentionally asked: "If a regular customer asks why you are not in the store, what would you say?"

The shopkeeper of Hefangzhai said: "I asked them to say that the shopkeeper is sick, so he can't come out to meet customers, and the guys have gone to buy medicine everywhere. Doesn't the shop still smell of boiled medicine?"

Ximen Chuuxue secretly smiled in his heart, but only nodded on his face.

The shopkeeper with the fake beard wanted to come to the bedside to take a look at the patient, but Ximen Chuuxue raised his hand to stop him: "Okay, you can go to the next room."

The emperor stayed here for another half a day, Lu Xiaofeng coped with it cleverly, when he left the palace, the night breeze was blowing and the sky was full of stars.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't know what was inside the snack box, so he still carried it with him and rode back to the inn.

When Lu Xiaofeng entered the room with a bunch of things, he received a pair of blank eyes from Ximen Chuuxue who was sitting lifelessly by the bed.

Lu Xiaofeng said anxiously: "Ximen Chuuxue, I got caught up in something..."

Ximen Chuixue's face was like autumn frost, and he said in a low voice: "He is dead."

Lu Xiaofeng was so startled that everything in his hand dropped, and the snack box made a "Duang" sound.

Although he wandered around the world and made jokes with many people, he knew that Ximen Chuuxue was not a joker.

Ximen Chuuxue continued, "I'm also starving to death."

Lu Xiaofeng immediately knew that he was joking, he pointed to the snack box, his beard was about to stand up in anger: "You lied to me, do you know what I was worried about at the gate of the palace?" He was the same He took out the already cold food and said, "I know you're starving to death, these are all yours."

Just as Lu Xiaofeng was about to take out his clothes, he suddenly discovered that Ximen Chuuxue had already put on a new set of snow-white clothes.

Ximen Chuuxue said with the same expression: "If you don't lie to you, he will really be dead when you come to save him."

Lu Xiaofeng grumbled and complained about the emperor's long-windedness, Ximen Chuuxue fell silent, Lu Xiaofeng also knew the reason not to talk nonsense.

Ximen Chuuxue looked down at Ye Gucheng, reached out to stroke his hair, and touched his face.Ye Gucheng was pale and quiet, with a slight breath, so it seemed that he was about to be put into the small house painted with golden blessings, wealth and longevity in black and red.There was no warmth at the fingertips, Ximen Chuuxue frowned slightly.

Looking at the distraught Ximen Chuuxue, Lu Xiaofeng recalled the scene in the car in the early morning, his heart twitched a few times, and he whispered: "Ximen Chuuxue."

Jianshen gave a absent-minded "hmm" and got up to get the bowl of red bean paste.

"Both of you are my friends, so I still have to say something." Lu Xiaofeng said seriously, "City Lord Baiyun is also a person of status in the martial arts, with good martial arts and good looks. You have a family and a family." , they may not be willing to be with you...Although he is in your hands now that something happened to him, you can't take advantage of his danger..."

Ximen Chuuxue didn't drink a spoonful of bean paste into his mouth, so he didn't break the spoon in his hand.

"Lu Xiaofeng, what are you thinking—"
