The fox minister in the late Tang Dynasty

Chapter 344
"Splendid purse, mandarin ducks playing in the water, chrysanthemums all over the yard, everything you want is on it, buy one for your daughter-in-law or lover"

"Agate tofu, pearl white jade soup. Passing by guest officials, smelling it will definitely make you energetic and travel thousands of miles every day!"

The Bazhou market was bustling with noise. The peddler carrying a rattle yelled loudly and teased the children who came running. On the noisy long street, several people hurried past him and surrounded a well-wrapped young man. Under the door plaque that says 'Jishan Medicine Hall', greet the doctor inside.

"Here doctor, hurry up and see a doctor, my young master catches the wind and cold while traveling at night!"

"Then you have to lie down in it quickly."

The doctor was about fifty years old, and the gray robe was simple and clean. He reached out and touched the young man's forehead, and quickly asked him to put the patient on a wooden couch in the inner room. Following the tall and thin figure who came all the way, he glanced around , no different from ordinary drugstores, the inner halls are mostly equipped with sick beds, and outside there are stoves under the eaves, boiling herbs, and the unpleasant smell of herbs permeates everywhere in the sound of boiling.

Over there, the doctor took the young man's pulse, closed his eyes slightly and murmured, "This disease, it looks like it's been a while, the evil cold enters the liver and lungs, causing the fire to burn, fortunately, you also have medicine to suppress the disease."

The doctor chattered about a lot of pathology, this type of typhoid fever actually has to be cured a lot every year, but there are also people who are not in good health, or poor in their families, have minor ailments and serious illnesses, or get tired of the root cause of the disease, or die, as a doctor, What he should say must be clearly stated in person.

"The doctor can just use the medicine." The tall and thin figure had a cold voice, but his eyes never left the doctor and the young man on the couch.

"But you must suffer in this inner hall."

The meaning is obvious, it is to tell the doctor not to leave his field of vision. The former has seen countless people in curing diseases and saving lives. He has seen all kinds of scenes more or less. When the family members of the patients said these words, they probably thought they were just caring for the patients. Not suspicious, the doctor got up, put the young man's hand back under the mattress, got up and stood by the window, spread out the paper, considered the condition, and slowly wrote down the pharmacy to the pharmacist in the shop.

Not long after, a few herbs were weighed on the scale, and brought to the back hall for the cold man with his hands behind his back to look over, compare the prescriptions, smell the smell of the herbs, and then let the medicine boy in the shop boil the medicine juice in a small stove outside the eaves .

Here, the doctor was not idle, he gave the young man an injection, and went to see a few patients while he was free, and it has been an hour since he came back.

After using up the medicine, several people paid the consultation fee and medicine fee, and after asking for a few more medicines, they hurriedly left behind the medicine hall with the young man on their backs, got out of the alley and followed the way they came, and quickly left the city. The same tall figures came galloping from the official road in front of them on horseback, and passed by the team leaving the city. As soon as they entered the city gate, the leading knight suddenly let out a 'wheeze', pulled the reins to stop the horse, and looked back. The backs of a few people who have gone away.

"What's the matter?" A companion urged the horse to follow his gaze, "It's just a few people, suspicious, didn't the group of Yong troops retreat to the north at this time?"

"That man." The doubtful knight frowned, and just passed by, and after a quick glance, one of the other people seemed familiar to him.

After he urged the horse to move on, when he came to the intersection, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and shouted at his companions on the left and right: "That's them. I recognized one of them on the battlefield that day. This man is very skilled in martial arts. Hurry up and report to him." Ask for envoys! I will follow these people!"

Those cavalry were not suspicious, nodded immediately, and galloped to the government office.At this time, in Bazhou City, Wang Zongkan was still recovering from his illness. In fact, there was nothing wrong with him. Apart from being frightened, it was because he left the city without face after being defeated in the battlefield, and Wang Jian was seriously injured and died. Get drunk all day.

Hearing the orders from his subordinates to ride a flying horse to report, he instantly sobered up, and walked back and forth in the hall holding his wine glass.

"Is it really visible?"

"It was Li Dalang who said that he recognized the opponent during the battle at Quezuiling." Na Lingqi carefully recalled the appearance of the opponent when he met him at the city gate. He came to the city to see a doctor, so he is probably an important person."

Bah!
The wine cup fell to the ground from someone's hand, and the fragments splashed with wine stains. Wang Zongkan's face was still red with drunkenness, and he laughed: "There are always soft persimmons to pinch, you go and call someone, take it." , I will go there myself!"

If one of them is captured, although defeat is unavoidable, the appearance will not be too ugly after all.

Soon after, the government started to move, and the masters of the government took dozens of people and rushed straight to the outside of the city. After a while, the military camp stationed outside the city received Wang Zongkan's military order, and more than 100 riders rushed out of the gate and rushed to the south of the city. outskirts.

Walking among the sunny and quiet clouds, slightly tilted to illuminate the nearby hilltops, the muddy road below, a group of people walked very fast, as if aware of being followed, and some people looked back from time to time.

Then, he turned to a fork in the official road and entered a small path in the mountains. In the distance, the galloping horse stopped nearby. With the help of the passing merchants, the following rider got off his horse and held the saber on his waist. The footsteps rushed to the forest not far away.

The sky was dimmed among the dense tree cages.

The man holding the knife head pushed aside the bushes in front and continued to move forward. The next moment, the sound of piercing sound came flying, he subconsciously tilted his head, and a stone hit the trunk of the tree behind him, and the bark shattered , the stone was firmly embedded in the wood.

"Who?!"

That Lingqi drew his sword and shouted, the sound stopped abruptly in an instant, his body flew out like a cannonball, and hit another tree heavily, causing the trembling branches to shake wildly.

Half a step in front of where the man stood, Jiuyu, who was tall and thin with a cold face, looked at the commander of the Shu Army who was bleeding from his mouth and nose, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

After leaving this forest and meeting the companions waiting in front, Zhao Biao and others inquired about the situation. They probably knew that most of their whereabouts had been discovered at the moment. It is too close to Bazhou now, so there is no better way. After all, here Most of the mountains are occupied by people, and there are reclaimed fields everywhere.

Sure enough, he turned around and took a shortcut to Jianzhou in the west. On the way to Jianzhou in the west, a group of Bazhou government officials and policemen were already searching around. Checkpoints were set up along the road to check the passing pedestrians and traders. If the accent is wrong, they will be arrested immediately. .

This journey was sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and most of them had to take care of Geng Nian who was sweating just now. At this time, he was much more relaxed, but his bones still hurt a little, his skin felt like needles were being pricked, his legs were weak, and he needed someone to carry him on his back.

In addition to the yamen servants and police officers who were already hunting thieves, there were also military scouts who searched around, and they were quite handy in searching for a group of people.

After several pursuits and evasions, at last in the morning of the second day, at a place called Xujia'ao, more than a dozen policemen came across them. As soon as they saw the number of people here, they directly drew their bows and shot towards the sky. Arrows rang out, and then one after another drew their swords and trawled the net, jumped down a gentle slope to meet them.

The arresters and servants in the yamen only have superficial martial arts skills, which is not good. The moment they approached them, they were hacked and hacked by three of them. The arresters in the back hurriedly stopped and did not beat them hard. When the opponent rushed over, they turned around and ran, and when the opponent stopped, they stopped and continued to follow.

After being chased and killed by Jiuyu, they were hanged at a safe distance of more than ten feet.

"Being followed by them like this, we will definitely not be able to leave, Chief Manager, you take your son and leave, and the few of us stay behind to block them!"

This was said by Zhao Biao, Jiuyu nodded in agreement, and was about to take Geng Nian on his back. The latter was struggling weakly, and he didn't want to see them stay behind. You don't need to think about it, what will happen next .

"Uncle Biao. Tell everyone to go together. We can't lose any more people. You have been with my father for many years, so you can't just leave him like this."

During this moment of conversation, in the distance, the sound of horseshoes and people's footsteps became more and more loud, and they all heard the sound of arrows shooting into the sky.

Zhao Biao took a look and saw that there was a lot of dust, and a group of more than a hundred cavalry was approaching quickly. He shouted: "The cavalry in the army go on the mountain road!"

From behind, yamen servants, police officers, and military scouts rushed forward one after another, and began to spread and gather towards this side, and then burst into words such as "kill—" and "catch spies!" When the battle came together, Jiuyu slapped one person flying with his palm, and walked back while protecting Geng Nian.

The young man resisted the discomfort in his body and got off Zhao Biao's back, holding the steel knife and waving at the pursuers indiscriminately.

Dangdang~~
Dangdang! !
The sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly sounded non-stop, chasing the direction of escape, under a large bluestone, there was a strong figure in green clothes and white robes, a long sword with a white sheath and silver handle was leaning against the rock, the tall man was lying on his side and dozing, Hearing the movement of the fight, he slowly opened his eyes, stood up, raised his toes lightly, and the sword on the ground flew into his hand and was carried behind his back.

The mountain wind blows.

His hair mixed with white traces was gently stroked, and the red jade pendant on his waist fluttered and danced along with the sleeves of his robe. Looking at the group of figures retreating to the heights here while fighting, he frowned thickly.
