Chapter 66 Chapter 6: Visitors from the East China Sea

The third part of Seizing the Inheritance Chapter 6 The visitor from the East China Sea In the second year of Tongtai in Southern Chu, Zhe was traveling at night in Chang'an. On his way, he met Ye Tianxiu, a close guard of King Qing, and Fang Yuanxin, a brave general under the command of Jiang Yong, Marquis of Donghai. ——"The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties."The Legend of Jiang Suiyun" Xiao Shunzi raised the curtain of the car, and saw that the twelve bodyguards protecting me had already held the handles of their knives and protected the carriage, while Zhou Wuzhou's bodyguard who was clearing the way in front was pointing at the two people who collided with the car and said: "You guys Who dares to stop me from waiting for the car to drive."

I looked through the curtain of the car and saw two men standing in front of the car. One was handsome in gray and wore a long sword. The other was in black. Although he looked good, his complexion was bronze. Holding Zhou Wu's rein with both hands, I saw faint scars on his palms at a glance, and my heart moved.Turning his gaze, he saw that the gray-clothed man was holding a six or seven-year-old boy in his arms. He was dressed in rags. Although his expression was excited, he didn't have much fear. At this moment, I heard Zhou Wu sternly say: "It's late at night, even though we gallop our horses, it's hard to hurt anyone. Although this child appeared suddenly, I'm confident that I can stop the horse in time, so why bother meddling with other people's business. "

The man in black said angrily: "No matter when, how can you ride a horse and gallop in the city. If you don't have me to stop the horse, I'm afraid this poor child will be injured by the horse's hoof." Zhou Wu was about to argue, when Jing Chi walked around from behind, glared at Zhou Wu, and said coldly: "During the night, I didn't expect there to be people on the street, it's our fault, Jing is acting on behalf of my brother Apologies, since the two of you have the guts to meddle in your own business, you must be good fellows, do you dare to come with us?"

The two men looked at each other, and they both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes. Although the carriage surrounded by this group of people was very simple, but it was well-made, and it was not affordable for ordinary people. But they are all very imposing. Just seeing their postures on the horses, you can tell that they are soldiers, and all of them have extraordinary martial arts. Such a team of guards is absolutely not available in the family of the princes. Their identities are all hindered. The two exchanged their hearts, and the man in gray said calmly: "Since you have already apologized, that's all. We still have something to do, so don't bother."

Saying that the two were about to leave, Jing Chi smiled loudly and waved his hands. Eight guards rushed up from left and right, and quickly surrounded the two. The expressions of the two changed drastically, and the man in gray frowned Wrinkled, but the man in black showed murderous intent. At this time, Jing Chi said: "Jing has been in Chang'an for a long time. I saw that the two are foreigners. This is at the foot of the emperor. In the imperial capital, it is the bandit who murdered and robbed from other places. You have to follow the rules, few dare to walk at night, after all, if you encounter the imperial guards who are watching the night, you will be in trouble, the two are so bold, it must be because of their high martial arts skills, it is not a problem to come and go."

The man in gray said coldly: "Why, there is no night ban in Chang'an, and it is our business to walk in the dark, just because we are meddling, are you going to make use of it, but do you want to send us to the government?" Jing Chi smiled and said: "That's not true, I just invite you two to visit us. If both are innocent people, Jing will not only apologize to you, but also make friends with you. No matter what is difficult, as long as Jing can help, there will be no problem." The man in gray was lying on the hilt of his sword with a dignified expression, and the man in black also put his hands on his waist, and he was about to strike, but they saw that the guards were all staring at each other, and Jing Chi's eyes were fierce, with a murderous aura soaring to the sky The two of them have been shrouded in it, and I can't help but feel very uneasy. Even if I can break out of the tight encirclement, I'm afraid it will be fully exposed, and I am hesitating.At this time, the curtain of the car was lifted, and a young man leaned out. He was wearing a black cloak to cover up his clothes. stop."

Their hearts moved, and they both looked at Jing Chi, their eyes flashed with disbelief, but they looked at me with doubts, and I felt that my judgment was right, so I smiled and said: "Xiaguan, under the command of King Yong, , Sima Jiangzhe of Tiance Commander-in-Chief's Mansion just now has offended many of his subordinates, and Jiang apologizes to the two of them on their behalf." Saying that, I cupped my hands and saluted. The two men also bowed to return the salute, and the gray-clothed man had an inexplicable light in his eyes, and said, "So it's Mr. Jiang, I've heard about it for a while, and I've committed the crime of driving, please forgive me."

The man in black looked surprised and happy, but he didn't speak. I glanced at him and smiled, "Brother Ye, Brother Fang, you have to be careful in Chang'an. Your Highness has no ill intentions towards the two masters, but if Brother Fang's whereabouts Leaking, my Highness will not be merciful, although Chang'an is good, but it is difficult to live for a long time, please leave as soon as possible." I just said "Brother Fang", the two of them shook at the same time, their whole body skills had gathered, and they were about to make a move, but what I said next made them heave a sigh of relief.The man in black hesitated for a moment, then bowed down and said: "Master Jiang, it was only by chance that Fang entered Beijing. I wonder if Sir can take a moment to speak."

I was taken aback. It was accidental to see through the identities of these two people. Ye Tianxiu was originally a subordinate of King Qing, and he had secretly entered the capital many times. I had seen his pictures, so I should have recognized him. But I guessed it. This person has a special complexion, which is obviously caused by being exposed to the sun all year round. Bye, there are marks on his hands that have been drawn by ropes for years of reefing sails. Based on the factors of friendship with Ye Tianxiu, I guessed it. his identity.Originally, I wanted to say a few good words and let them leave after expressing goodwill, so as to avoid some uncontrollable variables. I didn't expect that Fang Yuanxin would talk to me. If this matter gets out, Jiang Yong is still rebellious after all. Emperor Yong didn't want to embarrass him at all, but he didn't treat me very well after all, but seeing his pleading eyes, I softened my heart and said: "Brother Fang, please go to the car and tell me."

Fang Yuanxin took a look at Ye Tianxiu and said in a low voice, "Go back first." Ye Tianxiu also asked in a low voice: "He is a close friend of King Yong, you have to think carefully." Fang Yuanxin said with a wry smile: "The young master's life is important, so I can't take care of it. King Yong will never take advantage of others' danger." Fang Yuanxin stepped into the carriage, Ye Tianxiu gave me a worried look, saluted and said goodbye, and was about to leave with the child. I raised my voice: "Wait a minute." Ye Tianxiu's heart shuddered, and she turned around and said, "What are your orders?"

I smiled and said, "Brother Ye is just passing by in Chang'an, this child should be handed over to Jiang." Ye Tianxiu felt relieved, and said, "Then please leave it to Mr. Jiang." After saying that, he quickly disappeared into the night.A guard rode forward, bent down and lifted the child onto the horse. The child struggled stubbornly and looked at the guard full of hostility. The guard laughed and patted his head. As soon as Fang Yuanxin stepped into the carriage, he saw an elegant and feminine young man sitting there, and gave him a cold look. Fang Yuanxin felt as if his whole body was being chilled by a bucket of ice water, He immediately knew the identity of this person, "Evil Shadow" Li Shun, this martial arts is amazing, but he is willing to bow himself down as a servant. Seeing Fang Yuanxin's expression on pins and needles, I gave Xiao Shunzi a wink, and the murderous aura around him disappeared immediately. Fang Yuanxin just felt relieved, and thought, Xieying is really unusual. I saw that he has calmed down. Then he said: "I don't know what Brother Fang wants to say to Jiang Mou?" Fang Yuanxin said with a sad expression: "Since Mr. Jiang knows the identity of this subordinate, he should know who is the master of this subordinate?" I smiled slightly and said, "Jiang certainly knows about it, but since General Fang knows that Guishang is still Dayong's prisoner, why did he have to discuss it with Jiang in detail? It’s impossible to let go.” Fang Yuanxin said: "Mr. Fang dared to discuss with him because he saw that Mr. Jiang was quite defensive." I recalled the whispers he exchanged with Ye Tianxiu just now, my heart moved, and I asked with a smile: "Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you?" Fang Yuanxin said: "Don't dare to lie to my lord, my lord was not confused last year and only had a little flesh and blood. Unexpectedly, the young lord went out to sea a few days ago and was injured by a sea snake called "Rouge jade" in the sea, and his life was in danger. Although I There are also famous doctors under the lord's command, but they are all helpless. They can only watch the young lord suffer from poisonous injuries every day. Although his life is barely saved, he cannot survive or die. The lord also sent his men to look for famous doctors everywhere, but everyone They all said that there was nothing they could do. In the end, the Lord only hoped to find Mr. Sang, the medical sage, but Mr. Sang has disappeared since the appearance of the dragon in Chang'an. My lord once studied medicine from Mr. Sang, and it is said that his medical skills are superb, so Fang begged his lord to use his hand of rejuvenation to save my young master, not only Fang was very grateful for this, but even my master would not forget your great kindness." I frowned and said: "General Fang, let's not talk about the positions of you and me, it is hostility, and I don't say whether I can save Young Master Jiang. Since I was assassinated, I have been very weak. If there is no His Royal Highness King Yong and my servant If I take care of him carefully, I am afraid that I will die already, if I go all the way to the East China Sea, I am afraid that I will be dying before I arrive, and now that King Yong is using me as a counselor, I cannot leave him for a moment." Fang Yuanxin knew that Jiang Zhe didn't tell a lie, regardless of his status as the master, after all, as long as Jiang Yong is willing to surrender to Dayong, he will definitely be reused by Emperor Yong. There are also many signs of weakness. If you travel thousands of miles, you may fall ill if you really can't reach the East China Sea, but no matter what, the young master can't come to Chang'an.He thought about it for a long time, but he still felt embarrassed. Originally, he wanted to think of a way to rob Jiang Zhe, but after inquiring, he found out that Jiang Zhe was a very important person of King Yong. If he blatantly opposed King Yong, even the Lord would not want to Yes, besides seeing him today, Jiang Zhe was surrounded by tight defenses, and it was impossible for him to rob Jiang Zhe out of Chang'an. I paid attention to Fang Yuanxin's expression. At first I was distressed, then there was a murderous look, and finally I was desperate. I still don't know what his thoughts are, but I can't leave Chang'an at this time anyway, if Mr. Sang hadn't already I said that I will no longer practice medicine, and that Mr. Sang’s seclusion is a secret and cannot be told to outsiders. I have already recommended him to see Mr. Sang, but at this time, I have to let his young master come to Chang’an. When he arrived in Chang'an, he might not have a chance to leave, which might make Jiang Yong very embarrassed. After thinking for a while, Xiao Shunzi suddenly reminded me: "My lord, we are almost at Suzaku Gate." When Fang Yuanxin heard this, his face was ashen. He knew that he had to leave, and he said sadly: "Fang will explain this matter to the Lord after returning. The matter is very important, and Fang cannot be the master." My heart moved, and I said: "Brother Fang, why bother to leave? Since you are willing to talk to Jiang, why didn't you see His Highness? His Highness is broad-minded and kind-hearted. Maybe he can find a way to help Young Master Ling. At least Jiang I can guarantee that if Brother Fang wants to leave, His Highness will not stop him." Fang Yuanxin's spirit was shaken. He also knew that even if Jiang Zhe was willing to heal the young master, he still needed King Yong's permission. Thinking of the kindness that the master treated him like seas, so what if he risked his life.Having made up his mind, Fang Yuanxin said: "Then I will ask Master Jiang to introduce you." I said solemnly: "General Fang, don't worry, Mr. Jiang guarantees that Mr. Fang can leave Chang'an safely." Fang Yuanxin was about to answer when Xiao Shunzi suddenly changed his expression and said coldly, "My lord, someone is following you." I asked, "Several people, when did it start?" Xiao Shunzi said: "These were affixed when we met General Fang. We were far away from the car, but suddenly got closer. Oh, I see, there are guards patrolling ahead." My heart moved, and I asked, "Who is the subordinate of that forbidden army?" Xiao Shunzi opened the curtain, took a look, and said in a low voice: "My lord, General Qin led the imperial guards to patrol, and they will meet us soon." I sneered and said, "Xiao Shunzi, do you think Qin Qing will search my car?" Xiao Shunzi frowned and said, "He probably doesn't know how to check the cars of Prince Yong's Mansion." I smiled slightly and said: "According to the law, he has the right to check the drivers who travel at night. Of course, if it is about my identity, I don't need to check, but if he really wants to search, I can't stop him on the spot. Presumably those people are following Brother Ye. Brother Fang, who would have met such a big fish as me, he was determined, and wanted to use this method to frame me as a collaborator and treasonist." Xiao Shunzi frowned and said, "Young Master, it's inconvenient to refuse to search, and he can't do anything to hurt the imperial army, what should we do." I smiled and said, "Let Jing Chi deal with it first, it would be bad for me to come forward in a hurry, Qin Qing is really a pity." At this time, the imperial army had already arrived in front of them, and the leader was Qin Qing, who was very heroic. He rode forward and said loudly: "General Jing, why are you personally escorting him, who is in the car?" Jing Chi said in a deep voice: "It turns out that it is Commander Qin. The last general was ordered to protect Jiang Sima. He bears a heavy responsibility. It is inconvenient to show respect. Please forgive me, General Qin." Qin Qing smiled and said: "What are you talking about, although Qin Qing has a slightly higher official position, but the general is a brave general on the battlefield. Who doesn't know that the number one brave general under King Yong's command, and the one who is best at beheading generals and capturing the flag is General Jing. Backward, I dare not accept the general's gift, it is late at night, I don't know if I can let Qin meet Jiang Sima, Qin Qing has a heavy responsibility to protect the safety of the imperial city, dare not slack off, please forgive me." Jing Chi frowned and said: "Although it is natural to inspect people with suspicious whereabouts, but this is the car of Prince Yong's mansion, and Lord Sima is in the car. Why does General Qin have to check? The night wind is cold, Lord Sima is not in good health recently, I am afraid It's really inconvenient to see each other because of the wind and cold." Qin Qing's expression changed, and he turned around and asked a guard beside him in a low voice: "Jiang Sima is not easy to mess with, why did the princess insist that I check his car? If King Yong gets angry and tells his father, I'm afraid I will be blamed." The personal guard said in a low voice: "Don't worry, son-in-law, we didn't mean to embarrass Jiang Sima when our people saw the rebellion in his car, the general would definitely not agree to it like this, but if that person enters Prince Yong's mansion, just Fearing endless disasters, as long as the son-in-law takes the man away and says it is an interrogation, Jiang Sima will be wronged and will not dare to stop him. As long as the son-in-law does not say anything, Jiang Sima will not take the initiative to take the crime of destroying the family on his own." Qin Qing was a little hesitant, but thinking that his wife had always been more resourceful than himself, he couldn't be wrong, so he raised his voice and said, "It's just a routine, it won't take long, and it shouldn't hurt Jiang Sima's body." Immediately before raising the curtains. Two guards blocked the road at the same time. They knew that there was a person in the car who could not be exposed.Qin Qing raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, are you going to stop this commander from carrying out his official duties?" Jing Chi sneered and said, "If you searched the car driver, wouldn't the government and the public know that you, General Qin, are capable after tomorrow, and even searched the car driver of Prince Yong's mansion, and Jing will be the one who will lose face then." Qin Qing said angrily: "If King Yong is here, the last general will naturally retreat, but now it's only Jiang Sima in the car, so the last general has the power to search. If you don't have ghosts in your hearts, why don't you let me take a look at it?" What?" With a wave of his hand, the forbidden army surrounded the car, Qin Qing looked at Jing Chi coldly, and if he said no more, he would step forward and search for it. Fang Yuanxin's heart trembled, and he pressed his hands on his waist again. He was originally a rebel, and if he fell into the hands of the imperial army, he would be dead, so he felt desperate, and he couldn't help but secretly blamed himself. It's time to take the risk of having a secret talk with Jiang Zhe in the car, even if he dies, he will pay it off. If he gets involved with this young master who may be the only one who can save him, then he will die. I shook my head slightly, and pressed his hand lightly. If such a thing can't be dealt with, am I still worthy to be King Yong's chief military adviser? I took a look at Xiao Shunzi, took a gold medal from my waist and handed it to him , although there are many ways, but this one is the most simple and direct. For the sake of General Fang's heart, let's bully others once, but Qin Qing is too stubborn. Yes, being stern and selfless is not something everyone can do. It can only be said that Qin Qing is too naive. Xiao Shunzi took the gold medal and walked out through the curtain. After a while, I smiled lightly, this gold medal is really useful.It is indeed a good thing that King Yong solemnly lent me to use.
