Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 74 It's Zhongli's Turn
The candlelight in the room was flickering, and the skilled ghost doctors of the two clans were surrounding Pei Shixi, holding their breath, carefully removing the dead flesh from his leg bones.

There was a basin full of blood in front of the bed, and the changed gauze was thrown on the ground. It was shocking to see. It is not difficult to imagine how much Pei Shixi has suffered!

But he just leaned against the head of the bed, clenched his teeth, with a pale face, even though his forehead was dripping with cold sweat, he didn't say a word.

It wasn't until the new gauze wrapped around the wound again and again that he let out a long breath, and the few strands of black hair hanging down were soaked with sweat.

He obviously found that there was one more person in the room, and he knew who was coming to see him, but he didn't say anything, he just waved his hand and ordered the two skilled ghost doctors to step back, and then said:

"That kid Xiaomo became more and more disobedient. He ordered him to stay outside the house, but it was in vain. He still let you in. Do you think I should punish him?"

There was even a hint of joke in the weak voice, obviously wanting to comfort the person under the cloak.

"You shouldn't come, this bloody mess, how ugly, you will have nightmares at night, why bother?"

While the candlelight was flickering, that slender figure walked forward tremblingly, opened his cloak, his face was already covered with tears, I felt pity for it, it was Concubine Rou who was supposed to be sleeping in the palace.

"Big, my lord...how did you get hurt so badly?"

She was so distressed that she could hardly breathe, she sat down on the edge of the bed trembling, tears came out of her eyes again.

However, Pei Shixi stretched out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Don't cry, I cut it myself with a knife, and intentionally deepened the wound, but it just looked scary on the face, it's nothing serious."

"He also said that it's nothing serious, it's already so serious, I heard from Ah Weng that you can hardly keep your leg!"

Concubine Rou, who had always been gentle, caring and quiet in front of Pei Shixi, spoke with anger for the first time, and the "A Weng" she mentioned was also Pei Shixi's adoptive father, Eunuch Pei.

He served the first emperor all his life, and climbed to the highest position of eunuch step by step, but he still has another secret identity, which is Concubine Rou's——

biological father.

For the great cause of the family, some people can give up their lives and become eunuchs in the palace;

This road is too difficult, who doesn't work hard and give up everything?
Under the flickering lights, Pei Shixi smiled, still indifferently said: "Didn't I keep my leg? Don't cry, if you don't make it more realistic, how can you fool that dog emperor Kuang? "

"Then, my lord, your forehead...why did you get hurt?"

Concubine Rou still had tears in her eyes, pointing at the bandaged wound on Pei Shixi's forehead, her heart ached again.

"The dog emperor smashed it."

Pei Shixi lowered his eyelids, and said casually: "He called me to the imperial study room, and before asking a few words, he became very angry, grabbed the inkstone and threw it at my head. Naturally, I couldn't dodge it, so I took a hard hit and fought hard. After his head was bleeding, he let out a little breath."

"But it's okay, I finally told him to vent his anger. This is also the most important purpose of my setting up this game."

"I, I don't understand, my lord...why bother?"

"I know what you want to say, Ah Weng has already told you, this is my deal with Chinu people, but there are many ways to let Xi Yuehan go, you can pick yourself clean without leaving a trace, But I chose the stupidest one, which made Longyan furious, you don't understand, do you?"

Pei Shixi stared at Concubine Rou's light-colored eyes, and smiled faintly: "I have to make this mistake, so that the dog emperor can have a reason to deal with me. I will preside over the investigation alone."

When Concubine Rou heard this, her long eyelashes trembled, she suddenly understood something, Pei Shixi also sneered and said: "The dog emperor hasn't had a peaceful sleep for a long time, right?"

"Well, he has a bit of conscience, but not much. He tosses and turns day and night about the Yue family's affairs, and he feels guilty. If he can't get out of this foul breath, he has to find someone to take care of it."

"And I am the best candidate for him to express his anger. After all, even the death penalty of Marquis Yue was supervised by me personally. Although I made the murder knife for him, but in his heart If you are not happy, you will naturally have to write me down, if I don’t take the initiative to hand myself up, will I still wait for him to come and break me severely?”

Those accumulated grievances, the tightly bound heartstrings, until the day when they can't be stretched completely, it's not just as simple as making him suffer.

After many years of ups and downs and killings, the Zhenfusi only served the royal family. In the whole world, Pei Shixi must be the person who can see the Sacred Heart best.

"Just wait, the dog emperor hasn't finished his breath yet. After two days of feasting and hunting in the autumn mountains, he ordered me to go with him. I'm still hurting one leg. What can I hunt? He just wants to be in public Humiliate me, punish me in front of the courtiers and all the princes, I know it clearly in my heart, can I not go?"

Pei Shixi leaned against the head of the bed, analyzing calmly, with a faint smile, as if he was about to go to Yanqiu Mountain, and he was not the one who was humiliated.

Concubine Rou couldn't help it anymore, tears slid down her cheeks again, she tremblingly stretched out her hand to caress Pei Shixi, feeling extremely distressed: "My lord, it would be great if Ah Ying could suffer these hardships for you..."

Pei Shixi grabbed her hand, and slightly raised the corners of his lips: "What are you talking about, what's there to cry about? Are you better off than me when you've been by your side all these years, seeking skin from tigers? Don't worry, I already have Mentally prepare yourself, you will have to wade through mountains of swords and seas of fire, are you still afraid of suffering this little crime?"

-

The moon was cold and the wind was cold, and the sky and the earth were still. After Concubine Rou quietly left, another figure also came with the night wind. He visited late at night and brought medicine to visit the seriously injured Pei Shixi.

This uninvited person also wore a pitch-black cloak, with a tall and elegant figure, and a gentle and dignified male voice——

"Brother Shixi, long time no see, please stay safe."

The cloak was taken off, revealing a smiling and handsome face, under the dancing lights, it made this person's face more and more like a crown jade, elegant and handsome.

Pei Shixi leaned against the head of the bed, obviously not surprised, and raised the corners of his lips, looking at the person who came, "I knew you would come... Lan Xiaobai."

This familiar and teasing address sounded in the room, and the two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining like stars.

The "Lan Xiaobai" that Pei Shixi spoke of was none other than Lan Yubai, the fourth son of the Lan family in Youzhou and the husband of Ning Jiuniang.

As he approached the bed, he looked at Pei Shixi's injury and said with a tsk-tsk smile: "How can you be so badly injured? You don't need to work so hard in front of that dog emperor, right? What if you don't play well?" , wouldn’t it be worthwhile to put one of your legs in it?”

While speaking, he reached into his arms again, took out an exquisite and elegant small medicine bottle, and threw it into Pei Shixi's arms.

"Take it, this medicine is not exchanged for a thousand gold in Youzhou. It is a homemade prescription of the Lan family. I am not bad to you, am I?"

"Just send a bottle here, aren't you a bit stingy?" Pei Shixi took the medicine bottle, raised his head and smiled.

"That's enough for you. I'm not afraid that you'll be lame. When you go to Youzhou in the future, you won't be able to enter the Danxi racecourse of the Lan family. After all, I promised to give you a white-feathered BMW. If you are lame, , who shall I give that white-feathered BMW to?"

"Let's stop doing this. Every time we meet, I have to mention that white-feathered BMW. But after so many years of shouting, how have you ever seen you actually send me that horse? If I had known you were so stingy, I should have been in front of you in the first place." Nadanxi racecourse will lead a horse..."

"It's not too late for you to go to my horse farm now?" Lan Yubai sat down beside the bed, pressed Pei Shixi's leg lightly, and the wrapped gauze showed a trace of blood, Pei Shixi Breathing in the pain, he twisted Lan Yubai's hand bone with his backhand, "Lan Xiaobai, do you really want me to be lame?"

"How can it be? Just look at how badly you've been hurt. It seems that you've really dealt with yourself this time. You're not poisonous and not a husband. It's really your style...but you really need to get better soon. , isn't the Zhen Fusi still going to Youzhou to investigate the Lan family?"

"My father has been waiting for you for a long time, and I have been waiting to discuss and plan the next way with you. You can just take this opportunity to make a fortune with the Lan family and go directly to the Danxi Racecourse to take away ten white-feathered BMWs. No one dares to stop you, jade-faced Yan Luo, are you right?"

While talking, Lan Yubai picked up the medicine bottle, making a gesture to give Pei Shixi medicine, "You must try this blue jade ointment, it can heal broken bones, let alone your injury..."

"Wait, wait, it's just bandaged, don't waste this medicine..." Pei Shixi quickly stopped Lan Yubai, and raised his chin, "Several skilled ghost doctors in the clan have already seen it for me, you Don't worry, I still won't be able to lame, and I must keep my leg for the ten white-feathered BMWs you mentioned, otherwise I will be thankful?"

The eyes of the two met under the lamp, and there were smiles on their lips. It was rare to have such a relaxed moment. They didn't need to pretend to be in front of others, and they could chat freely, even nonsense was a kind of fun.

After Lan Yubai laughed, but at this moment, she approached Pei Shixi and said in a low voice: "I went to the palace and went to see Princess Zhaoyin on the pagoda. She really didn't know the inside story about the Yue family case, and she still waits for me to confide in her. I am my own person, so good..."

"I took the opportunity to give her some spices from Youzhou, and told her to burn incense before going to bed to help her sleep. The spices are precious, and they are called 'like smoke'. Old dreams, if you indulge in them, you will eventually be unable to extricate yourself, and you will never be able to wake up..."

When Lan Yubai said this, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he said gently: "Since Princess Zhaoyin can't get out of the pain, then I will help her sleep well every night, fall into the past like smoke, Soon, she should be able to meet her family's Lord Hou in her dream, right?"

Hearing these words, Pei Shixi pointed at Lan Yubai with his fingers, parted his thin lips slightly, and smiled into his eyes: "Non-toxic and not a husband, you are better than me."

"That's ridiculous. I just like to help others. Isn't she yearning for her husband and feeling depressed? I have fulfilled her long-cherished wish this time, and can reunite their husband and wife in secret. It is worthy of the thoughtful and perfect 'good' in her mouth." Son-in-law'ah, are you right?"

Pei Shixi smiled without saying a word, and Lan Yubai continued: "At the end of the year, the dog emperor will recall his nephew from Yunzhou Island, and let him spend New Year's Eve with Princess Zhaoyin. Pirates are infested, so it's not surprising that something will happen... What do you think?"

The murderous intent in the words was not concealed, but Pei Shixi raised his hand and said in a low voice: "Don't make troubles, the only thing that the dog emperor has a little sincerity towards his sister, and the reason for calling Yue Wugui back this time is for Princess Zhaoyin, He will definitely make this journey smooth and safe. If the people on your side act rashly, they are very likely to fail and be captured. Instead, they will involve a lot of unnecessary troubles. Let's wait and see what happens...Anyway, that kid has nothing You know, I went to Yunzhou Island this time and found out about him, so you don't have to worry too much."

When Pei Shixi said this, a snowy pupil and a unparalleled smiling face appeared in Pei Shixi's mind. That girl is still staying with Yue Wujiu. If Yue Wujiu is called back to the imperial city at the end of the year, she will definitely go with her Well, if Lan Yubai sends someone to do something on the road, maybe he will accidentally injure that girl, then it will be very bad.

In short, Yue Wugui's trip back to the palace on New Year's Eve, it seems that it is not a good time to do it.

After hearing Pei Shixi's words, Lan Yubai also nodded, and said calmly: "I'm worried that it's not possible, what kind of troubles can the children of the Yue family make? I just want to kill the last one of the Yue family members, so that the Yue family can do nothing. Forever."

He said these few words lightly, but there was a bit of indelible hatred in his eyes. How could Pei Shixi not understand the obsession in his heart, so he couldn't help clapping his hand, and said meaningfully:
"As you said, this kid from the Yue family can't make any waves. The Yue family has already been wiped out. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to save the last descendant of the Yue family to watch this play and witness our final victory?" something?"

"That's true. If no one cheers at the curtain call, wouldn't you be lonely?"

Lan Yubai smiled again, looked at Pei Shixi again, and suddenly said quietly under the lamp: "Speaking of Yunzhou Island, the next one...is it Zhongli's turn?"
