Rank One Princess Douxian Wang: Phoenix Palace Brocade

Chapter 247 Calling for help and self-help

The concierge boy's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he and the steward got into a carriage and were about to go back to the Western Capital.Bi Shui was afraid that things would go wrong this time around, so he asked to take five or six servants from the embroidery village back to the village first, and the servants and the steward would report back to the city.

As the morning light dimmed, Zhao Yuanshen didn't sleep well that night.These few days were supposed to be resting in the mansion, but they actually went to the border between Datong and Min Kingdom. The journey was very dangerous. After picking up two strong generals and their remnants, they made arrangements before they were able to return. .After resting overnight, Zhao Qiyun came to report again, and Zhao Yu summoned him.

Zhao Yuanshen changed out of his regular clothes as usual, and put on the silver wide sleeves he wore when he entered the palace for an audience. He was about to call Pang Tai in when Zhao Qiyun came in again.

"You're coming in and out this early in the morning, it's dazzling." Zhao Yuanshen didn't know why, this early in the morning, his heart seemed to have grown grass, he was very bored, and no one was pleasing to his eyes.

"It's not good, master, something serious happened." Zhao Qiyun slapped his thigh, hurriedly got behind him, pushed him and walked out, "The fourth girl was plotted by her family, and she was surrounded outside the city and walked westward for twenty In a village in the village, there are a few wretches bullying her, and the game is about to end."

Zhao Yuanshen frowned, obviously feeling exaggerated: "Oh? A few servants surrounded her? It's too useless."

"No, not all of them. There were killers before her. There were dead and wounded around her, and there were only two servant girls left." Zhao Qiyun looked at him with a sad face.

Zhao Yuanshen was startled, and his footsteps had already moved away. He said as he walked, "Why didn't you report that she was out of the city? Why didn't you send someone to follow?"

"You didn't say to let people follow, but the people on the embroidered village have already passed, so there should be still time." Zhao Qiyun quickly followed up, his guts turning green with regret. Zhao Yuanshen should have thought of this kind of thing even if he didn't mention it.

As far as the master's eyes are concerned, his fists, feet and blades are all there. How could he forget important things?He didn't save enough for his coffin, and he didn't want to be tortured to death by Zhao Yuanshen.

"The people in the Dai Mansion need to be dealt with more and more." Zhao Yuanshen looked at him with a sullen face and a sword-like gaze.

"Master, the horse to enter the palace is ready, and the villain will escort you into the palace." Pang Tai walked out with a diagonal stab.

"Go and tell the old master, I'm out of the city to hunt, and I will enter the palace later to greet you." Zhao Yuanshen took the reins of the horse, turned on the horse neatly, and turned the horse's head in the direction of the city gate.

Zhao Qiyun waved his hand at Pang Tai, and he went forward, although his body was a little unstable, he still wanted to speak clearly: "Master, there seems to be something wrong with Miss Si's eyes. Clear."

The next moment, Zhao Yuanshen lashed the horse with a whip, and did not even give the two of them a cold look, leaving only a cloud of dust behind them.

"This...is ruining the affairs of the court for a woman. If the old master finds out about this, it will be okay? This is simply outrageous. It has been outrageous since the appearance of the fourth girl. I'm talking about chess. You don't have to say anything to the master, just like this matter, you tell me, I will go and save the man, and there is no need to alarm the master." Pang Tai said dissatisfied.

If Zhao Yuanshen went out of the city like this, he would definitely see blood, but the person who killed Xu Jiatong was probably not an ordinary bandit, and the involvement was wide-ranging, especially when it involved the person of Marquis Ding'an.For a woman, the loss outweighs the gain.

"What do you know, you reckless man? If the master made a mistake because of the fourth girl, it would be just one or two things. If the fourth girl really made a mistake, it might be a lifetime mistake." Zhao Qiyun glared at him. , shook his hands, "Aren't you going after the master? I'll explain it at the other end of the palace."

"Okay, you go, you go, I see people in the palace are tongue-tied." When Pang Tai heard that someone entered the palace for him, he immediately got on his horse and walked away.

He wasn't that displeased that Zhao Yuanshen had delayed the "big event" because of Xu Jiatong. He said that just now, and he said it more seriously when he thought of entering the palace and his head would become two big.

Let him and Zhao Yuanshen clean up those villains together, what he wished for, this is much better than talking to those people in the palace who have been talking about ten or eight times...

It is said that after the clear water slipped down the cliff the night before, the three of Zhao Ma returned to Zhuangzi and began to fumigate those herbs.While fanning the palm-leaf fan, they wanted more medicinal smoke to enter the house, and at the same time, they thought that if they smelled too much, they would get sick.

After smoking for a while, they hid outside the Zhuangzi, and did not enter the yard until more than two hours later, when the smoke from the medicine was almost gone.

It was already midnight, and there was no sound in the surroundings, only a few cicadas were chirping loudly.But it was too cold, and the cicadas could not dance for a few days, and their calls at this time were not as energetic as they were in midsummer.

"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss?" Zhao Ma called out twice from the door, and then reached out and slammed on the door twice.

After a while, Xu Jiatong hummed twice in a rage, and Ah Xiang's voice didn't sound as energetic as before: "The fourth girl has a fever, and she's burnt out and can't speak. Bi Shui went out to invite the doctor." Why haven't you come back yet? I asked when I went to the village, and although there isn't a decent doctor, there are some, and there is also a pharmacy, why haven't you come back now?"

"People in these villages are used to being lazy. It takes a long time to get up and put on clothes in the middle of the night. How can you be fast? Please bear with the fourth girl, and dawn will come." Zhao Ma perfunctory, thinking, Bishui will never come back.

As soon as they came back, Mother Zhao asked Aunt Wang to deliver a letter to the people waiting at the foot of the mountain, and sent someone to wait at the foot of the mountain where the clear water rolled down, and they could only leave after three days without seeing anyone.

"Mom Zhao, you'd better send someone to take a look, the girl's illness can't be delayed." Ah Xiang was very anxious, and he was a little unsteady when speaking through the door.

But there was no sound outside again, Xu Jiatong let go of the wet cloth covering his mouth and nose, and heaved a sigh of relief after smelling the smell around him.Her eyes still couldn't see clearly, and she could only vaguely see some shadows and outlines of things, but she didn't feel any pain, so it was probably only temporary.

When the man in black threw the powder at her, she hid quickly and shrank back into the water at once, so she didn't get hurt at all.

"Bi Shui probably went out, but I don't know if he was injured." Xu Jiatong said worriedly, there must be someone who knows martial arts by her side.

"The servant girl is praying for her, she must be safe, and must bring the message." Ah Xiang recited several "Amitabha Buddha" consecutively.

"In a little while, they will probably come in to see if I'm dead. You go and get some rouge, and put some on me like you did just now, so they don't dare to move too far." Xu Jiatong smiled .

The red rashes that Zhao Ma saw were all painted with rouge, and it was only because they were far away that they could not see clearly.

Ah Xiang began to draw rashes on Xu Jiatong again, but after hearing Xu Jiatong's words, she was afraid that people outside would ask to come in at any time, so she lost her composure.

"What are you afraid of? At this time, people on both sides dare not move, they just want to be more courageous than anyone else, take advantage of the opportunity, and bluff the people on the other side." Xu Jiatong said softly.

There was another movement outside the door, as if someone had entered the Zhuangzi again and said something to Mama Zhao and the others. Mama Zhao then laughed twice and thanked that person again and again.

"Ah Xiang, you don't have to wait for the clear water." Zhao Ma's voice suddenly rose, obviously she was speaking to Xu Jiatong, "Some villagers came and said that the driver who just got up early and came to the city picked up the clear water at the foot of the mountain. His shoes and torn clothes were bloody and torn, probably bitten by wild animals. Although there are not many wild animals on this mountain, there are a few or two fierce ones. Alas, this young man, He even lost his life, life is poor."

Ah Xiang was stunned, and looked at Xu Jiatong, his eyes met Xu Jiatong's eyes that didn't meet, only then did he realize that she couldn't see it.

"Girl, this..." Ah Xiang became anxious, crying a little.

"Don't panic, it's impossible." Xu Jiatong didn't believe that there were ferocious beasts on this mountain at all, and some of them were killed by those noble boys from Xidu who were hunting and patrolling the mountain. "I asked her to do that, you go, Tell Zhao Ma to send someone to invite the doctor again."

Ah Xiang understood, cried and told Bishui how kind she had been to her in the past, then begged Zhao Ma to invite a doctor, and said all the good things she could say.

Zhao's mother said impatiently: "Wait a little longer, I'll go in and see her before I talk." Unexpectedly, she didn't even want to call out four girls.

"Girl, what should we do?" Ah Xiang was completely listening to Xu Jiatong at this time.

"According to the time, the people in the embroidery village are about to arrive, but it's just in case. Can you bring in the basket of worship things?" Xu Jiatong suddenly had a plan, but he couldn't see anything, so he could only Ask her first, and see if it works.

There are two candles burning in this room, and Ah Xiang said they were mixed from incense candles used for worship.I don't know if Bi Shui brought in other things when he came back with the candle.

"No, Bi Shui was carrying a lot of things at that time, and the slave girl saw that her hands were full, and thought she couldn't carry those few baskets." Bi Shui paused for a while, then suddenly said, "Except for the basket that was made of brass wire. The twisted bodhi tree is the 'little tree' to be incinerated. Bishui said it was sharp and easy to hold, so she brought it back for self-defense. I gave it to the servants. If Zhao Mama and the others dare to come in and offend you, the servants will take it It hits their heads with melon seeds."

Xu Jiatong breathed a sigh of relief, what she was looking for was the bodhi tree made of twisted copper wire.

At this time, Xu Jiatong sincerely thanked the world. If she hadn't been short of everything when she was in the private house, she asked Bi Shui to use everything available, Bi Shui might not have thought of using a small copper tree as a sacrifice as a self-defense weapon .

If it wasn't for the fact that Xu's family was strong outside the middle, and the Lin family didn't care about her, he was only willing to do superficial work, and he was reluctant to give up money, and he would not exchange copper trees for gold trees.

You know, to show sincerity, the little bodhi tree used for incineration was for the Xu family's ancestors, so it should be made of red gold.If copper or iron is used, not to mention that it is not easy to be incinerated, if people know about it, there will be many criticisms.

The calculations in Xu Jiatong's heart were deeper, what was needed at this moment were those copper wires, if the copper wires were replaced with gold wires, it would be too soft, not strong, and not suitable.
