Jinghong Tower

The men who went to Wang Hao for help were ambushed before they reached the Han palace. Under the moonlight, the leader recognized who ambushed them.

"You are Dayanling"

Before he could finish speaking, a sword pierced his throat.

He knew this person. He was a subordinate of the big leader's uncles.

The battle was short and bloody, and within moments the ground was covered with corpses.

More than a dozen Jin Yiwei and the people from Dayanling teamed up to carry out the killing.

The three brothers, Nong Lao and Nong, never thought until their death that their uncles not only broke up with them, but also all turned to Nong Liu Niang.

This killing was the certificate of surrender that Dayanling handed over to Nong Liu Niang.

In the military camp, a shrill scream broke the tranquility of the night. Immediately afterwards, screams came one after another. The soldiers were awakened by the sound of trumpets for a temporary gathering. When they rushed over with weapons, what they saw was an ongoing battle. An elevated mountain of corpses.

Some people are still throwing corpses on the mountain of corpses.

Next to the mountain of corpses are dozens of burning torches surrounding a man.

Someone recognized it and shouted: "Sixth Lady, that's Sixth Lady!"

"Sixth Lady, are you healed?"

"Bless you, Sama, the Sixth Lady is back!"

Before that, Tan Acai asked his daughter Nong Cuidan to pretend to be Nong Liuniang. Worried that the secret would be revealed, he announced to the public that Nong Liuniang was ill. Although it was later revealed that Tan Acai and his son killed the old cave owner, Boss Nong and the others still had something in their hearts and insisted that Nong Liuniang was ill. Liu Niang is sick.

Some of Nong Liu Niang's cronies have died, and some have been transferred to garrison in remote places. The generals who are still here are either from Boss Nong or have just been promoted from low-level officers. They were not familiar with Nong Liu Niang.

However, this army was formed by Nong Liu Niang from the beginning, and they respected Nong Liu Niang.

Now, seeing the living Nong Liu Niang standing in front of them, the soldiers were excited!
"Sixth Lady, Sixth Lady!"

Nong Liu Niang waved her hand and said loudly: "Brothers, I am not sick. I was framed by Boss Nong and others through cunning tricks and lost my freedom. They, like Tan Acai and her son, are the scum of our Dong people. They colluded with Wang Hao. They killed my father and want to kill me, they are the sinners of Dongxi!"

The soldiers suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Sixth Lady suddenly fell ill. No wonder that after the Sixth Lady "fell ill", many people in the army suddenly disappeared!

From the first day they joined the army, these soldiers followed Nong Liu Niang to fight Wang Hao. In the war with Wang Hao, they lost their dear comrades and their brothers. Wang Hao was their common enemy.

But now, Boss Nong and the others have colluded with Wang Hao. They are no longer the enemy of Nong Liu Niang alone, but the enemy of all of them.

They have clearly seen that the corpses on the mountain of corpses are the people brought here by Boss Nong.

"Sinners, Sama will punish them!"

"Kill them!"

The crowd was indignant, and the woman in the fire was so powerful.

A smile appeared on Zhong Yi's lips, which was hidden in the dark. This time the mission was finally completed.

The next day, Zhong Yi and his entourage said goodbye to Nong Liu Niang. Nong Liu Niang called Mu Ling and said to Zhong Yi, "Let Mu Ling go to Beijing with you and express my gratitude to Master He Da on my behalf."

Zhong Yi frowned slightly but didn't ask any more questions.

From Guidi to the capital, it would take half a year for ordinary people to come and go, but Zhong Yi and his party only took three months.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there was a banquet in the palace. He Ran invited Feng Jueying, Nie Chen, Lao Guanghuai, Li Jinxiu, and Lu Pingnan's mother and son to the palace to drink and admire the moon with King Zhao.

In the middle of the banquet, Yuan Xiaodong quietly came in and whispered a few words in He Ran's ear. He Ran said "Oh," with a hint of unnoticeable joy in his expression.

After the banquet was over, everyone said goodbye, and He Ran left the palace and went home.

Zhou Jian looked at the palace where silence had returned to normal, and said to Chunwang: "Who do you think my sister wants to go back to see in a hurry?"

Chunwang was startled: "Does the Master want to see anyone? I see that the Master drank a lot of wine and will fall asleep as soon as he gets home."

Zhou Jian curled his lips: "Yuan Xiaodong came in. My sister looked very happy."

Chunwang didn't dare to answer. He knew Yuan Xiaodong had been here, but he didn't notice the boss's expression.

The boss is not a person who looks happy, but this time, King Zhao saw it.

Maybe what Yuan Xiaodong brought was indeed good news, and the boss couldn't hide his joy.

Zhou Jian sighed: "Zhong Yi didn't come today."

Chunwang was startled again, Zhongyi didn't come? Yes, he didn't come. Since when did King Zhao care about Zhong Yi so much?
Chunwang still remembered that King Zhao was somewhat afraid of Zhong Yi.

Every time he saw Zhong Yi before, King Zhao would be so nervous that his palms would sweat.

However, Zhong Yi is indeed quite scary. No one is not afraid of Zhong Yi.

Zhou Jian seemed to be saying to Chunwang, or to himself: "Zhong Yi hasn't appeared for a long time, three months."

In Laomofang Alley, Zhong Yi, who had disappeared for three months, appeared.

He reported the situation in Guidi to He Ran, and told He Ran that Mu Ling was also here to thank He Ran for Nong Liu Niang.

He Ran was excited: "Okay, invite her in."

When Mu Ling walked in, she held a palm-sized box in her hand. Zhong Yi's eyes fell on the box. It turned out that Nong Liu Niang had asked Mu Ling to bring a gift.

Mu Ling followed the example of the Han people, bowed to He Ran, and kowtowed three times.

Although she is Han, she grew up in Dongxi since she was a child and has never formally learned Han etiquette. Although this set of movements is unfamiliar, it is full of sincerity. Before Xiaoli has laid the mat, she kowtows and raises her head. When I arrived, my forehead was red and swollen.

Xiaoli hurriedly went out and asked the kitchen to cook eggs for reducing swelling.

But no one expected that after Mu Ling kowtowed, she would look at Zhong Yi who was sitting beside her.

"Master Zhong, can you go out? What the Sixth Madam asked me to bring to the Head of House, please don't let others know."

Zhong Yi's voice was cold: "As the commander of the Imperial Guard, I have the responsibility to protect the master."

Mu Ling: "I don't know what responsibilities you Han officials have. I only know that this is the sixth lady's order."

Of course Zhong Yi refused to go out. Although Mu Ling was Han, she was similar to the Dong people. Even though He Ran was kind to them, the Dong people were still Dong people after all.

Those who are not of my species must be guarded against.

What else did Mu Ling say? He Ran smiled and said to Zhong Yi: "The moonlight is very beautiful tonight. Xiaodong, go with Commander Zhong to enjoy the moon. Xiaoli, arrange a midnight snack. I want to drink more with Commander Zhong." A few drinks.”

Zhong Yi was helpless, glanced at Mu Ling, and walked out expressionlessly.

Zhong Yi can no longer remember how many years it has been since he admired the moon. In his previous life, since He Jinghong left, no matter whether it was the Mid-Autumn Festival or New Year's Eve, there was no discussion of palace banquets in the palace, and he never appreciated the moonlight again.

He also remembered that He Jinghong liked to celebrate festivals. In addition to the well-known ones, she also celebrated some weird festivals.

It was the summer of the second year after he met He Jinghong. Early in the morning, He Jinghong told him that a cat had come and described the cat's beauty in detail.

He was so happy that he ran to the place where the cats were kept to see the cats, but there was no cat at all, and there was a big mouse inside!

He was most afraid of mice, and he burst into tears in fear.

As a result, He Jinghong told him that it was April Fool's Day.

But he refused and kept crying. He had no choice but to take him everywhere to look for cats. He found a house with a cat, gave the family ten cents and let the cat play with him all afternoon.

Zhong Yi raised the corners of his lips. He still remembered the appearance of that cat. It was a particularly beautiful calico cat.

He likes cats, and he knows He Jinghong also likes them, but they wander around and He Jinghong says cats will suffer if they follow them, so they can't keep cats.

At that time, he had a wish that when he grew up, he would build a big house and raise two cats, one for his sister and one for him.

But when he grew up, he forgot many things and his childhood wish.

At this time, he felt something fall on his head, and then he heard a mean voice: "I haven't seen you for a long time, where have you been?"

Zhong Yi frowned: "Get off my head."

Sure enough, Xiaoba left his head and landed on the railing. A pair of black bean-like eyes looked at him disdainfully: "See what you can do. I am just pretending to have a good temper. If I get angry, I will kill you."

Zhong Yi suddenly had an idea: "Xiao Ba."

"Call me Ba instead of Ye, the eunuch has no father!"

Zhongyi is just a bird.

"Master Ba, do you like cats?"

Xiao Ba screamed, flew up to Lao Gao, and shouted at Zhong Yi: "Come here, there is a fool here!"

As soon as He Ran came out, she heard Xiaoba's shout. She shook her head with a smile, walked to Zhong Yi and said, "Sorry, Xiaoba disturbed you."

Zhong Yi said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter, it's just a bird."

Xiaoba: "The sword is not sharp and the horse is too thin. I don't want to fight with you yet."

At this time, Shoumei and others had already served supper in the yard. He Ran asked Zhong Yi to take a seat, while Mu Ling was dragged away by Liu Xia and others to have a small gathering.

He Ran smiled and said to Zhong Yi: "You have been working hard these days. When you first arrived in Guidi, are you acclimated?"

Zhong Yi shook his head: "I'm fine, but a few brothers have a rash."

He Ran asked: "There is a miasma over there. You should find someone in advance to make some pills to remove the miasma for you. I was negligent."

Zhong Yi hurriedly said: "This is not the negligence of the master, but I underestimated the situation over there. Besides, the pills we brought here may not be useful when we get there. Fortunately, Jin Yiwei and Jin Yiwei who went there this time The people in the Eagle Team are all strong and strong. Although they are a little acclimatized, it is not a serious problem. "

He Ran asked about the situation there in detail. Just now Zhong Yi only talked about it roughly, but now he told He Ran everything he saw and heard.

He Ran was relieved to learn that the mother's poison on Nong Liu Niang could be removed.

It would be great if she could solve it, but she was still worried about raising Wang Hao until the end of his life.

At this time, Zhong Yi said: "Zhou Cangyue's momentum is very strong. In my opinion, even if we don't rescue Nong Liu Niang, Wang Hao won't last long. In less than two years, Zhou Cangyue will reach Guidi."

He Ran's eyes sparkled: "Oh? Is he so powerful now?"

Zhong Yi nodded: "On the way back, I sent someone to inquire about the situation of the Huwei Army. They were not only fighting against the imperial army, but also suppressing bandits.

That side was different from the north. Most of the bandits there were barbarians. When fighting, they not only had bamboo spears and spears, but also used poison. One of Zhou Cangyue's generals was poisoned by the bandits, and more than a thousand people were killed. "

He Ran frowned, has such a thing happened?
Zhou Cangyue never told her.

If you think about it carefully, Zhou Cangyue's letters, except for occasionally pouring out his bitterness, always report good things but not bad things.

"Now, this bandit has not been wiped out yet?" He Ran asked.

Zhong Yi shook his head: "No, the bandits have been eliminated. Zhou Cangyue personally led the people to eliminate them. The bandits used poison during the battle. Although Zhou Cangyue was well prepared, the poisoning method was too tricky, and he still After a while, even though the Miao family's witch doctor was called in to diagnose and treat him in time, he was still in a coma for seven days. "

He Ran: "When did this happen?"

Zhong Yi said: "Not long ago, we heard this on the way back, but Zhou Cangyue has recovered from his injury."

In the evening, after sending Zhong Yi away, He Ran wrote a letter to Zhou Cangyue overnight. She originally wanted to send him some medicine, but then she thought about it, Zhou Cangyue was poisoned, and she didn't have the daily detoxification medicine on hand.

Thinking of this, He Ran remembered the gift that Nong Liu Niang asked Mu Ling to give her.

That's Gu.

Mu Ling told her that the name of this Gu was Jin Gui, not a turtle, but Gui, Gui Gui.

Because this voodoo does not die after being used once, but can be used repeatedly. As long as it is raised well, this voodoo can live forever.

As for how long she can live, Mu Ling doesn't know. She said that she heard Nong Liu Niang say that Granny Ahua has a Gu, which Granny Ahua has raised since she was a little girl, and it is still alive now.

The Jin Gui Gu feeds on insects, but it is not picky, as long as they are insects, they will do.

The Golden Gui Gu enters when it sees blood, and it can only come out when the opponent is dead.

You must pay attention when feeding, and do not do it if there are wounds on your hands.

The reason why Nong Liu Niang chose to give Jin Gui Gu to He Ran was because Jin Gui Gu was very simple to operate, there was no mother Gu, and it could be used to save lives in critical moments.

In three lifetimes, He Ran saw the legendary Gu worm for the first time. She was extremely curious.

The next day, He Ran went to the Imperial Hospital, selected some pills to replenish qi and blood, and handed them to Zeng Fu along with the letter.

Zeng Fu went out of the city to find the beggar gang's messenger and asked the messenger to send the letter and pills away together.

More than a month later, Zhou Cangyue received a letter from He Ran, in which He Ran asked about his poisoning. Zhou Cangyue was startled and looked around subconsciously.

It's so scary. Sister Ran is far away in the capital, and she even knows about his poisoning?

It is not a glorious thing to have the majestic and powerful generalissimo poisoned.

Besides, he was in the process of rectifying military discipline at the time, and there were many voices of opposition below, including some who were making small moves. Therefore, the matter of his poisoning was concealed.

The situation was very dangerous at that time. Bai Gou and others only said that he was injured, and it was a skin injury, and asked Hong Dou to pretend to be him and sit in the military tent. (End of chapter)
