Chapter 47 Chapter 47: The Truth in Adversity

In the dark night, the river rushed in, Qi Changzheng and Shui Roujing grabbed each other tightly and swam downstream with the current. This section of the waterway is particularly inclined, and there was a heavy rain not long ago, and the streams on the mountain flowed into the river, so the water flow was very fast. Fortunately, there were not many rocks, but it was enough for the young people who were both internally and externally injured. Amidst the screams, the two found themselves being carried by the water to a place where there was no force in the void. It turned out to be a great waterfall.

"Peng!" The two hugged each other and fell into the water two feet down. Just as they were in shock, they encountered another waterfall, which made them dizzy. Suddenly there was a dark shadow ahead. Qi Changzheng yelled loudly, tried his best to turn around with his arms around Shui Roujing, raised his remaining strength and arched his back. "boom!" His back hit the corner of a rock outcropping with boulders. Qi Changzheng spat out a mouthful of blood, almost passed out, his limbs were limp. Shui Roujing knew that he was going to sacrifice herself to save her, and cried out: "What's wrong! You fool!"

Amid the yelling, the water flow took them down a distance of several miles, showing the turbulence of the water flow. Qi Changzheng whispered in Shui Roujing's ear: "Don't be afraid! I have a burden on my back, and you don't, so I...I'm not a fool." Having said that, if Shui Roujing hadn't supported his body desperately, this young master would have sunk into the bottom of the river long ago. "Peng!" The two of them followed another waterfall and fell to a pool about Zhang Xu down. The river widened and the water flow slowed down. Shui Roujing was worried about Qi Changzheng's injury, and when she floated to the river, she grabbed a branch of a big tree extending from the bank with one hand, and hugged Qi Changzheng's thick neck with the other hand, leaning towards the bank.

After untold hardships, Shui Roujing dragged Qi Changzheng onto the lawn beside the bank.His body went limp, and he fell beside Qi Changzheng, unable to even move his fingers. He was extremely tired, even though the enemy would come at any time, he still couldn't bear it and passed out. I don't know how long it took before Shui Roujing woke up suddenly. Fortunately, the surrounding area was quiet, only the sound of insects and water flow, and no dogs barking or people. She suddenly thought of something, touched the cloth bag in her arms, and the little spirit disappeared. I don't know if he drowned in the river.

Shui Roujing endured her grief and got up, only to be comforted when she saw that Qi Changzheng lying beside her was still breathing. She put her pretty face next to Qi Changzheng's, and sighed in her heart: I didn't know why I did something stupid, I betrayed the teacher who cultivated me painstakingly since I was a child, just because I still didn't know each other a few days ago man. Is it the evil of the previous life? But she didn't regret it at all, and she still had a sweet sense of fulfillment. Qi Changzheng's breathing was surprisingly slow and slender, not at all like a seriously injured person.

Shui Roujing was amazed, and stretched out her hand to check his wrist veins. Except for the slightly weaker spleen and heart veins, the other pulses were strong and powerful, showing that the current frightening situation was caused by too much physical exertion and excessive blood loss. As a result, I couldn't help but wonder if this person was cast out of iron? Looking at the rough face of the other party, thinking of his sunny smile, thousands of tender feelings surged in his heart, and he whispered: "Oh! You are a villain!" Qi Changzheng seemed to be aware of it, he groaned, his eyes trembled, and he was about to open them.

Shui Roujing was taken aback, wondering if the other party heard her passionate complaint, her heart jumped wildly. Qi Changzheng groaned again, opened his eyes, saw Shui Roujing, and laughed. I don't know if the wound was affected, and the smile suddenly turned into a painful grin. Shui Roujing said urgently: "Where do you feel the pain?" Qi Changzheng shook his head, expressing that he was fine, and said weakly, "How long have I been unconscious?" Shui Roujing was stunned and said: "I just woke up too." Qi Changzheng looked at her hair that was still dripping water and the wet clothes clinging to her body, and said, "It won't be more than two quarters of an hour, otherwise why would you and I still be like two pairs of water ducks? I'm going to lose my life."

Shui Roujing seemed to realize that she was being hunted down at this moment, she sat up and said, "Can you still walk?" Qi Changzheng stared at her blankly for a long while. Although it was still in the dark night, Shui Roujing looked ashamed and said in a low voice, "What are you looking at?" Qi Changzheng said: "Didn't your little baby who understands your words come with you?" Shui Roujing said sadly: "I'm afraid I'll drown when I fall into the water." Qi Changzheng said: "No! Before jumping into the river, I felt it jump out of you, otherwise I would have saved it."

Shui Roujing didn't expect others to be so careful, and knowing that Xiaoling was not dead, she became emotional, stood up and said: "Let's go!" and stretched out her hand to help Qi Changzheng. Qi Changzheng stood up with some strength, looked at himself, and wondered: "Look! My clothes are almost dry. Yours are still so wet, why is it like this?" Shui Roujing opened her beautiful eyes and said: "I once heard Pang Ban say that people who have entered the innate realm of qigong have the ability to automatically heal their wounds. Judging from your current situation, you may have entered the pre-condition from the post-condition."

Qi Changzheng took a deep breath, unexpected ecstasy welled up in his heart, and he asked after a while, "How's your injury?" Shui Roujing said: "It's nothing serious, but if you wash it with the river, the hidden flavor medicine will no longer be effective. If you don't hurry up, the hounds will find us." Qi Changzheng picked up her jade hand, placed three fingers on her pulse, and said, "Don't lie to me, your meridian has been concussed, and it will never recover after a few days of recuperation. Come! Change into dry clothes." Seeing that Qi Changzheng cared about her so much, Shui Roujing was extremely happy, and said slightly annoyed, "Where does he have dry clothes?"

Qi Changzheng unloaded the small burden on his back, untied it, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, there is a wax tape to prevent rain in this small bag." Shui Roujing watched him take out a slightly damp men's suit, took it happily, and took off the wet clothes like that behind his back. Qi Changzheng saw her infinitely beautiful and smooth naked back with his eyes, and thought that this girl was bolder than the young lady in the brothel, but he didn't feel anything wrong.Her waist is particularly slender, and it is surprisingly soft and beautiful, which is unforgettable at first sight. Shui Roujing put on his clothes, folded up the sleeves that stretched a palm, although it was a little looser, but still couldn't hide the delicate and charming posture, turned around and said: "It's much more comfortable!" Qi Changzheng took her hand and said, "Come on! I'll take you to two friends, alas! If it weren't for you and me, both of whom have internal injuries, I wouldn't bother them like this when I died, but now there is nothing else. chosen." The official ship carrying Chen Lingfang, Han Bai, etc. is moored by the wharf of a small town on the shore. Four Yangtze River Navy warships that have been escorted by Jiujiang are moored in front of the official ship and on the opposite bank. The lights are brightly lit, illuminating the river water Like thousands of writhing golden snakes. The pier was guarded by city guards dispatched from nearby military camps. Unless one encountered a first-class expert in such a battle, it was impossible to pass through such a security net without being noticed. A feast was set up in the main cabin, besides Chen Lingfang, Han Bai and Fan Liangji, there were also Fang Yuan and guard Ma Xiong. During the banquet, Chen Lingfang and Han Fan sang together and talked about the affairs of the Goguryeo Fengyue court. After hearing Fang Yuan and Ma Xiong's suspicions about Han Fan, the two counterfeit people, they also got rid of them. How could they have colluded with Chen Lingfang to deceive them? of. When the banquet came to the middle tour, when the wine was hot, Ma Xiong said: "Just now, the general received a message from Hu Tong, the commander of the Shenwu Navy stationed in Poyang..." Chen Jinfang, Han Bai and Fan Liangji's heart skipped a beat when they heard this, and all three pairs of eyes focused on Ma Xiong. Ma Xiong felt very unnatural, and said: "Weijiang's articulate is still not as fluent as Fang Counselor, it is more suitable for Fang Counselor to speak." Fang Yuan coughed dryly, and declined: "This is a matter for the army. How can a subordinate officer be as good at guarding horses as horses? It's better to talk about guarding." The three of them saw that these two people were pushing each other, and they all knew that Hu Jie's request must be unreasonable. Chen Jinfang had his own way of dealing with these little pilgrims, his face turned cold and he said: "Since the guard raised this matter first, it's up to the guard to talk about it." Ma Xiong sighed and said: "Mr. Chen is always our own family, and we dare not hide it even if we are not generals. Commander Hu sent his deputy commander Duan Muzheng to come here in person, hoping to kill the eight daring rebels who assassinated Mr. Chen." Take it away for interrogation, and hope to meet the hero who captured the thief, to express Commander Hu's appreciation for him." Chen Lingfang laughed, and said: "So that's the case?" Then the old man's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "It's not that Duanmu Zheng doesn't know me, Chen Lingfang, why didn't he come and tell the old man personally?" Ma Xiong stammered: "Don't be offended by Mr. Chen if you haven't said it. Mr. Duanmu said that you haven't officially taken office yet, and you are still a civilian. The person in charge of this ship should be Mr. Weijiang, so..." Although he didn't say the rest of the sentence, everyone knows that Duanmu is using the big to suppress the small, forcing Ma Xiong to hand him over, this move is not harmless. Chen Lingfang shook his head suddenly and said with a smile: "It's no big deal if you want a few people. The guards can take them as you like. As for the hero who captured the thief is just a commoner, it's better for everyone not to see him." Ma Xiong was overjoyed, his tongue immediately turned sharp, he stood up and bowed, and said: "Mr. Chen is so considerate, it's really a bright cloud, please ask Mr. Chen to inform the nobles who are guarding the bottom cabin, and use Lord Rabbit Duanmu There was a misunderstanding when I came to pick someone up." Chen Lingfang said: "When Duanmu is coming, my people will leave by themselves, don't worry." Ma Xiong thanked him again and again, and left happily with Fang Yuan. When these two people left, Han Bai and Fan Liangji laughed together, and Chen Jinfang couldn't help but smile, sharing their happiness sincerely. Rourou stepped into the hall, seeing the three people so happy, she smiled and said: "The matter has just begun, and the eldest brother and the young master seem to have won a big battle, I am really worried that you will lose your composure and let people know your identities. " Chen Lingfang showed the demeanor of cherishing flowers, stood up and opened the chair for Rourou to take a seat, and said with a smile: "There are special envoys and chief guards here, I don't know how even this timid old man is not afraid anymore, and I think I can have a good time field, it’s really a happy event in life.” Fan Liangji stopped laughing and asked Rourou: "How is the secret operation going?" Rourou said in a low voice: "Mrs. Chen and Xiao Baozi took advantage of the fact that Ma Fang and Ma Fang were here, and left in a car. Hero Lang personally followed the car to cover, but he hasn't come back yet." Chen Lingfang sighed: "With the help of the hero Lang, I don't have to worry about the future anymore, so I fight to get rid of my old bones, and the emperor... Oh! No! I will deal with that kid Zhu Yuanzhang to the end." Fan Liangji snorted coldly and said, "Brother Chen, you'd better call that kid the emperor. The special envoy and I both have experience, but it's hard to change it when we say it smoothly. Isn't it! Special envoy?" Han Bai laughed wildly: "Of course I remember! Are you talking about that woman Yunqing? Ah! Why did you kick me again?" Fan Liangji said sullenly: "I'm sorry! I kicked you well, please don't blame the villain." Chen Lingfang solemnly thanked Fan Liangji, who teased him: "The guards are all good words, Zhu Yuanzhang... oh! No! Your Majesty... this, no! Your Majesty hates others' disrespectful words or words, wrong words or typos. A single word can also kill a person. So the chief guard's point is very important." Rourou was stunned and said: "Is the emperor really so arrogant?" Chen Lingfang said solemnly: "If you really said the wrong thing and killed him, you don't have to say it, but someone wrote a congratulatory message to praise him, "Under the light of the sky, a born sage, set an example for the world", but he said "Sheng" The monk, didn't he call me a monk? "Guang" is bald, saying that I am bald; the word "Ze" sounds like a thief, and it is half of the word thief. The person who sycophants is killed, it is wronged." The three of them were all dumbfounded when they heard it, and only then did they realize that the words that companions are like companions to tigers are indeed true. The sound of sharp footsteps approached from far away. Fan Liangji smiled at Chen Lingfang: "Your old friend Duanmu is here." Before the words were finished, a short and fat officer wearing a military general uniform with a long sword on his waist, with a face like a full moon and slender eyes rushed into the door angrily, chasing after the desperate Ma Xiong.That Fang Yuan disappeared, it seems that he deliberately stayed out of the matter. Chen Jinfang laughed, stood up, and said, "Master Duanmu, hello! It's been four years since the first meeting in the capital, and your demeanor is even better than back then. It can be seen that the official fortune is prosperous, and I am happy for you." Duanmu rushed straight to Chen Ling, focused his sharp eyes on Chen Jinfang's face, and said angrily, "Brother Chen, what kind of tricks are you using to hide the eight traitors?" Chen Lingfang's complexion changed, and he was furious: "What? You actually lost someone, how do you explain this to the emperor?" Murderous intent flashed across Duanmuzheng's eyes, and he looked back at Ma Xiong. Ma Xiong respectfully said: "Mr. Chen! The thing is like this, when..." Fan Liang's extremely sad voice sounded: "Ma Shoubei! Who is this high-ranking official who doesn't know the rules and breaks in?" Ma Xiong was startled, he hesitated, he didn't know how to answer. Chen Lingfang sat down leisurely, and said with special respect: "Master Guard, this is Lord Duanmuzheng, the deputy commander of Lord Hu Jie, the commander of the navy." Han Bai let out a muffled snort from his nostrils, and said coldly, "This special envoy is here to represent King Zhengde of our country. If my king comes here in person, how could he be insulted like this?" Fan Liangji interjected: "Such people who don't understand etiquette are either naturally arrogant or intentionally insulting us, and we are personally invited by the Son of Heaven to present ten thousand years of ginseng that can prolong life. Why is Master Mu acting so arrogantly? We obviously don’t take their emperor seriously, let us sue him when we arrive in Beijing.” Han Bai suppressed a smile and said with a cold face: "Why are you going to Beijing? This man came with a sword like this, clearly trying to intimidate us. Mr. Chen and Ma Shoubei, you two should be witnesses. The emperor can prolong life, so he deliberately wants to scare us away." Rou Rou endured a bitter smile, lowered her head, and knew in her heart that the young and old had just found out that Zhu Yuanzhang hated people who disrespected him the most, so they made a lot of fuss about this point, and the more they said it, the more serious it was, but everything said what Duanmu Zheng said The key. Although Duanmuzheng was furious, but the two of them sang together, it was like a basin of ice water poured on his head. He has been an official for many years, so how could he not know Zhu Yuanzhang's temper? Even if Hu Weiyong can't protect him, it is more likely that Hu Weiyong will make trouble, lest Zhu Yuanzhang suspect that he will rebel against him. The most serious thing is that if the two return to Goguryeo immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang will not be able to eat his beloved Yannian ginseng. Not only will his own life be lost, but the nine clans will be implicated. It's become trivial. How could I be so careless and make such a big mistake. Duanmu was sweating profusely, his power disappeared, he bowed to the tunnel and said: "Your villain bumped into me recklessly, please envoy your lord and the chief guard not to be offended, this villain is guilty and guilty, please calm down your anger." Ma Xiong quickly accompanied him and said good things. Han Bai said coldly: "Get out immediately, if I see your round face again, this envoy will return to China immediately." Duanmu was wiping off a cold sweat, he was confused and accompanied by Ma Xiong and walked out, but at this moment he was thinking about how to explain to Hu Jie. After the two left, the four laughed at each other. Chen Lingfang said: "Hu Jie is a very narrow-minded man, and he will repay him if he is wronged. If we play him a trick like this, he will definitely feel angry. I don't think he will let it go." Fan Liangji said hesitantly: "It doesn't matter whether he comes overtly or secretly, with my bodyguard, Pu, I'll let them catch one by one, or a couple, don't worry, Mr. Chen." It was the first time that Fan Liangji was so polite and respectful to Chen Lingfang. The latter was overwhelmed and quickly served Fan Liangji himself. The dinner was held in such a lively and laughing atmosphere.
