The ray of light on the horizon dissipated, and the fog was long, and it was already evening.
The endless surrounding mountains gradually disappeared in the heavy twilight.
Shen Zhen looked at the flames spreading in front of her eyes, her heart sank again and again.
Seeing her panic, Yang Zong quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss Shen, your lord didn't take the water."
I have to say, watching this scene, Yang Zong couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If Shizi hadn't been fully prepared, even if they survived, the hard-earned evidence would have been burned up in such a fire.
Time was running out, Yang Zong didn't have time to explain to Shen Zhenduo, he just said, "Miss Shen, we have to get on the road as soon as possible."
Shen Zhen nodded, in order not to drag her legs back, she didn't make a sound when her foot was bruised.
All the way over the mountains and mountains, they finally converged with the first dark piles.
But in such a deep mountain and old forest, Shen Zhen actually saw a sedan chair, and she rubbed her eyes.
Here... why is there a sedan here?
There are not only the sedan chairs, but behind the sedan chairs are seven or eight men dressed as bridesmaids, and more than a dozen wooden boxes with the Chinese character 囍.
Yang Zong took a step forward and took out a wedding dress with "big sleeves and skirts" from the sedan chair, and handed it to Shen Zhen together with a pair of gold earrings and hairpins.
Yang Zong explained the current situation very quickly.
Docheng is not far from Yangzhou, and the administrative office is also located in Yangzhou. To put it bluntly, this is still the jurisdiction of Zhao Chong. However, as long as they wanted to join the reinforcements, To Castle became the only way to go.
Once they enter the city, they will surely attract attention. In this way, it is necessary to dress up in disguise.
The sedan chairs in front of her were all prepared by Lu Yan in advance. And these bridesmaids holding trumpets and suonas in their hands are the dark piles who withdrew from Yangzhou ahead of time.
Tangyue is quick and quick, and she puts on Shen Zhen's wedding dress in three or two strokes.
It was not until the evening of the next day that he finally entered the castle.
Yang Zong led the way on horseback in front, surrounded by countless bridesmaids behind, whistling and beating along the way, and entered a house with firecrackers.
As soon as the gate was closed, the people in the city were isolated, and everyone's nerves could not help but tense up again.
Although they were temporarily out of danger, Lu Yan's news had not yet come back. Yang Zong first ordered people to continue playing and singing in the yard, and then sent two people to the city gate to meet him.
When Shen Zhen sat on the bed with the golden pear pattern sprinkled with peanuts, the calm that he had just pretended to have disappeared.
She raised her hand and folded her wedding dress, and panicked inexplicably. When she got up in a panic, she couldn't help staggering, but fortunately Tang Yue supported her.
"Be careful, girl."
Shen Zhen nodded and said "um".
One day passed like that.
The next night, Shen Zhen looked at the flickering candlelight in front of her eyes and the sky that was completely darkened, and there was a cold sweat on her back.
There has been no movement for such a long time, 80% of which is an accident.
Shen Zhen lifted her leg and went to the study next door, pushed open the door and said, "Guardian Yang, the time you agreed with us has arrived, but why is there no news yet?"
Yang Zong was naturally worried. If the master had not given the death order to stay by the little lady's side, he would have rushed out of the city long ago.
At the moment, I can only comfort him: "Miss Shen, don't worry. Your lord has always been scheming and has never made a mistake."
The others in the house followed suit.
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words fell, a man dressed as a servant rushed in and panted: "Shizi! The eldest son is injured!"
Everyone in the study room was shocked.
If something happened to Lu Yan, then all of their heads together would not be enough to compensate. Yang Zong frowned and said sternly, "Make it clear! What's going on!"
"Master Shizi was injured by a sword."
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the house.
Among the crowds of people, Shen Zhen saw that Lu Yan was helped in by two people. From the front, he thought he was just drinking too much and had no energy, but if he looked from the back...
Shen Zhen covered her mouth in fright.
Two huge blood holes appeared on his back. At first glance, it was caused by the sword piercing in and pulling it out. Large bloodstains flowed out, and everywhere he passed was stained with dazzling red.
Lu Yan was carried to the big red wedding bed.
Shen Zhen followed and said with a trembling voice, "Sir, he..."
Yang Zong knew Fu Man's identity. He immediately picked up Fu Qi's collar and said, "Where's Miss Bai? And his brother, can you be rescued together?"
Fu Qihong said with eyes wide open, "Don't worry about Guard Yang, Doctor Bai and the others are right behind."
It was too late, but it was fast. I saw a man and a woman running over with a suitcase. The woman Shen Zhen knew was the aunt he took in Yangzhou, but who was this man
Bai Daonian said to Fuman, "Aya, you go out first."
Fuman pulled the man's cuff and sobbed, "If it wasn't for saving me, he wouldn't have been injured so badly."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Zhen's eyes immediately turned to Fu Man.
But he said that Lu Yan was injured.
Originally everything went very smoothly. On the day of Shangyuan Festival, Fuman put a colorless and tasteless drug in everyone's food. Because they had mastered the account book and Bai Daonian's position before, they quickly got the things in their hands. , and saved people.
However, Zhao Chong, an old thief, has been immersed in the officialdom for many years. No matter how well Lu Yan hides, it is hard to beat a person who has never let go of his suspicions and vigilance. As soon as they were about to leave the city, the soldiers stationed in Yangzhou moved in an orderly manner, as if they had been preparing for this day.
Having such a dream, Lu Yan naturally did not dare to put the account book on the boat. So, he took the rest of his men along with Bai Daonian and Fu Man to another path.
Zhao Chong's private soldiers were not raised for nothing. After they discovered something was wrong, the first thing they thought of was to use all means to destroy the evidence.
First they set fire to the boat, and then chased them all the way.
Because Fuman's horsemanship was very poor, he fell between the cliffs on the way, and it took a long time to save her. Zhao Chong's soldiers also caught up, and they were able to escape, thanks to Lu Yan's side.
Lu Yan was only seriously injured, in addition to that, Fu Ba and the other two dark piles were killed on the spot.
It's just that Shen Zhen has no way of knowing the process of Lu Yan's injury.
Through Fu Man's words, Shen Zhen's mind only came to one conclusion - he was injured in order to save her.
Her fingernails embedded in the palms of her hands, then suddenly loosened.
After Fuman stepped back, Bai Daonian observed Lu Yan's injury, and he left in a hurry.
Although the blood from the wound has stopped now, the flesh and blood are glued together with the damaged fabric, which is quite tricky. He raised his head to face Shen Zhen and said, "Can you hold a lamp for the next one?"
This is the wedding room. The room is full of big red candles. Shen Zhen hastily lit a few more. Then he picked up a lamp and walked over.
The room was instantly bright as daylight.
The wounds on his body also became clearer. Bai Daonian took out a small knife, cut all his clothes open, and then used a needle to pick out the fabric that seeped inside...
Shen Zhen's heart twitched with his movements, and both legs became soft.
She took a long breath and said slowly, "My lord, is his life in danger?"
Bai Daonian raised his head and looked at her, "The knife edge is quite deep, but luckily it avoided the key point. If it is an inch away, even the immortals will not be able to save it. In these two nights, the adults are inseparable, and they have to check every half an hour. Find out if you have a fever."
Shen Zhen nodded, "I'll be watching over him tonight."
After cleaning the wound, he began to sew it up. When the needle and thread passed through the flesh, Shen Zhen couldn't stand it anymore, so he closed his eyes.
Bai Daonian cut the thread in his hand.
After two full hours of tossing, Shen Zhen's arm holding the lamp froze, one can imagine how tired this Doctor Bai was.
Shen Zhen whispered: "Thank you Doctor Bai."
Bai Daonian bowed deeply to Shen Zhen, and then said: "Madam, don't mention the word 'thank you'. Your Excellency has saved me a life-saving grace. At this moment, I asked Bai to pay with my life, and that's what it should be."
Hearing his wife, Shen Zhen couldn't help but be taken aback.
But after thinking about it, I didn't need to explain this, so I said lightly, "Even so, you should rest earlier, presumably... You will be busy tomorrow."
"Yes, there are some heat-removing medicines. After the adults wake up, take them as soon as possible." After that, Bai Daonian withdrew.
Tangyue walked in with a pot of hot water and a few clean handkerchiefs, Shen Zhen took it, then handed her the medicine and said, "I'll do it here, you go and fry the medicine."
After Tang Yue left, only Shen Zhen and Lu Yan were left in the room.
She slowly sat down beside him.
He lowered his head and looked at his face.
Since she met him, she had seen his arrogant and lonely back, his aggressive attitude, and his aloof expression, but she had never seen him so embarrassed.
After a while, Shen Zhen stretched out her little white hand and stroked his ear.
The moment he touched him, Lu Yan frowned and whispered her name.
Shen Zhen.
The tone is not good, it is the tone he only has when he is looking for faults.
But for some unknown reason, the golden beans in Shen Zhen's eyes fell down in large drops. She couldn't even tell herself why.
It's just that she didn't expect that when she cried, the person who was still lying peacefully on the bed was awakened by the pain in his chest.
As soon as Lu Yan opened his eyes, he saw the red candles all over the house, and the bride in the wedding dress. The bride's face had tears that made him feel distressed.
Seeing that he was awake, Shen Zhen hurriedly called out an adult.
As if one sound was not enough, he added dully, "Sir, are you awake?"
Can't wake up, can you open your eyes
The corners of Lu Yan's thin lips opened slightly, and a barely noticeable smile appeared, and she said hoarsely, "Yeah, I'm awake." If you continue to cry, don't say you're awake, your life will be taken in. …
Shen Zhen was a little uneasy, afraid that he would move, and quickly said: "The wound on the back has just been stitched up, don't move."
Lu Yan frowned, feeling his throat dry, and said, "Bring me some water."
At this time, Tangyue just brought the medicine in, Shen Zhen took it, walked to the couch, squatted down, looked at him and said softly: "Let's drink the medicine first, after drinking the medicine, I will bring you water,"
He lay on the couch and couldn't move, so he could only wait for Shen Zhen to feed him.
She scooped a small spoon, blew it, and put it to his mouth, holding it against his teeth and slowly raising it.
I don't know if it was because the spoon was not easy to use, or because the man didn't cooperate, all the concoction in Shen Zhen's spoon spilled out.
Look at each other.
The man's thin lips pursed slightly, his eyes dark and unclear, as if to say: what are you doing, you can't do anything well.
Shen Zhen held the spoon's hand for a while, and had to think of another way.
