On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times
Chapter 163: Mistake
This time, Xiao Xiao really guessed correctly that the carrier pigeon was released by Master Chen.
He had been poisoned and injured before. Even if he was young and had good bones, he would not be able to recover without lying down for ten days and a half.
Although he is still young, he still cherishes his body and bones, so he is recuperating at home these days.
At first, County Magistrate Chen and Mrs. Chen were eager to invite famous doctors from both inside and outside the city to treat their son.
However, when they thought that the true cause of their son's illness would not be widely known, they could only invite Mr. Jiang, Mr. Liu from Qingrentang, and Mr. Zhou from Huichun Hall.
These three have good medical skills and a good reputation. They are older and have seen more things. They know what can and cannot be said.
Therefore, the public opinion is that the second young master is frail and sickly.
And secretly, County Magistrate Chen also sent people to inquire about the situation of the guardhouse from a distance, and only received the exact news today.
After the father and son discussed it, not only did they use the carrier pigeon brought back by Chen Erlang, County Magistrate Chen also sent his confidants to deliver the message.
Of course, Chen Erlang's carrier pigeon was to report to his immediate superior.
County Magistrate Chen personally wrote the letter and asked his confidants to send it to Yuhang.
He didn't hand it over directly to Shangguan because he was afraid that Shangguan would belong to the wavering group of people.
But because of his treason, he has already stood on the big ship of King Jin'an.
Fortunately, Uncle Jiang Yu is still in Yuhang and is familiar with the palace chief and stewards, so he can help deliver the letter to the prince.
Otherwise, how can we say that there is no barking dog in front of the house of a noble family?
The father and son thought they had left all the embarrassing things to superiors, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Who would have expected that not long after, Jiang Yu came to ask for a visit, saying that he was bringing a puppy and came to visit the 'frail and sick' Mr. Chen.
When Chen Erlang heard that the boy said that Jiang Yu was here, he was still lying on the couch and said with a smile: "We have been separated from Yu Hang for a few days, and we meet again."
He also joked: "Is it possible that you don't trust your grandfather's medical skills? Did you come here specifically to diagnose my pulse?"
Jiang Yu smiled bitterly: "Second Young Master is joking."
He gritted his teeth and finally revealed his purpose: "We had nothing to do. When we were practicing archery, we accidentally shot a homing pigeon."
Nowadays, ordinary people are not allowed to have swords and weapons in their homes, including bows and arrows.
However, for a large family like the Jiang family, having guards, bows, arrows, and even swords was reported to the government and allowed in private.
Therefore, in order to provide cover for the Xiao sisters, he still brought himself along.
If a few months ago, he would have scoffed at the suggestion that he would fall in love with a girl at first sight.
But now he understands that fate and fate are really magical things.
He took out the dead pigeon from the basket with a worried look on his face: "Unexpectedly, I unexpectedly discovered that this is not an ordinary pigeon, but a homing pigeon."
Chen Erlang was also very depressed. He was not a full-time breeder of homing pigeons.
But his companion who was good at raising homing pigeons has died. He was deeply afraid that the homing pigeons would starve to death, so he fed the homing pigeons three meals a day plus snacks.
Who would have thought that this homing pigeon is also a glutton. It has only been a few days and it has gained a lot of weight.
"I opened one side and found the message on it was very serious, so I sent it here specially."
Jiang Yu asked cautiously: "Second Young Master, have you been delayed?"
What he wanted to ask was: Do you have any more reliable homing pigeons?
Anyway, after this incident, he has a shadow on homing pigeons and will no longer keep homing pigeons. Who knows if the homing pigeons will become someone else's meal after spending money. He felt that it was much more reliable to send messages by people than by carrier pigeons.
Chen Erlang's face felt a little hot after hearing what he meant, and he pretended to be calm and said: "It's okay, I will make other arrangements."
Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment and then asked him: "Then do you think there will be chaos here?"
Fortunately, the Jiang family and the Chen family are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If something happens, no one can escape, so he dares to ask this question.
Chen Erlang was silent for a while, and then he said ambiguously: "The world is not peaceful, and there is a possibility of chaos everywhere."
If there is really a rebellion at the guard station, Wuning County will be the first to bear the brunt.
But this news cannot be spread, otherwise it will make people panic, and they may think that the guards have not rebelled, but they themselves are in chaos.
If people flee in all directions, no one will cultivate the fields and crops, and no traders will do business. Where will the tax revenue and food supply come from?
It can be said that if Wu Ning is in chaos, his biological father will be unable to eat and walk away.
Therefore, Chen Erlang stared at him and said seriously: "The Huichun Hall must not be closed."
If the medical center closes, doesn't it clearly tell everyone that this place is no longer safe?
Jiang Yu also immediately promised: "Second Young Master, don't worry, today's incident will never be spread, and the Huichun Hall will not be closed."
"That's right." Chen Erlang looked at him again and asked, "Did anyone else besides you see the carrier pigeon thing?"
Jiang Yu was afraid that his lie would be exposed, so he did not dare to conceal it. He could only say: "In addition to me, there were also the Xiao sisters who had previously helped the second young master."
I was deeply afraid that he would embarrass the Xiao sisters, so I quickly added: "They didn't even see what was written clearly. I noticed something was wrong and put it away quickly."
When Chen Erlang heard what he said, he felt extremely aggrieved.
He couldn't deny that it was indeed thanks to the Xiao sisters' help.
However, none of them knew that the Xiao sisters were not prepared to save themselves at first. Instead, they disliked themselves for being in the way and wanted to drag them to the side.
But for the sake of face, he couldn't tell the truth yet.
But now when he heard Jiang Yu mention the Xiao sisters, Chen Erlang thought again of the girl who dragged him away.
He also thought of the moment they loaded him into the car, the girl's breath sprayed on his face...
Suddenly, he wanted to see her again and see how she would react if she knew her true identity.
He coughed lightly and said seriously: "It's a serious matter, so I'd better tell them personally, right?"
Jiang Yu felt a chill in his heart, suspecting that this was another person trying to poach someone.
But the He family is easy to deal with, but this one is difficult to deal with.
He had a sense of urgency in his heart and felt that he should discuss it with his family so that they would agree to come to ask for his hand in marriage.
Jiang Yu forced a smile: "Didn't you say that there are still people watching you secretly? It's not appropriate for you to meet them, right? Why don't you tell me and I can tell them?"
On the day of Chen Erlang's accident, there were people who fled with bandits and stole important tokens of Xin'an City, so they all went into the city to search.
Until now, those people have not evacuated. Instead, they have searched more carefully. All the medical clinics in the city are being watched secretly by them.
Fortunately, Mr. Chen has spent a lot of time in Yuhang in the past few years. He is not like those domineering young men who like to fight cocks and horses. Instead, he is very low-key and deliberately dressed in a down-to-earth manner, so no one is suspicious of him.
