"Brother Feiying, there is no need to be polite! We all serve the imperial court. In this situation, we should help each other. And I have always admired your brother as a person. This time, brother Dugu was in trouble because he was protecting King Wei. How can I stand by and watch?"
In the bedroom, Li Junxian stretched out his hand to support Dugu Feiying and said in a weak voice.
This was not said out of politeness. Although the two brothers Dugu Feiying and Dugu Xin came from aristocratic families, they did not have the stubbornness and arrogance that were common among the clan members. Instead, they behaved in a chivalrous manner. The knight-errant style in the Tang Dynasty was at its peak. Li Junxian, who was an official in the same dynasty, had more or less favorable impressions of Dugu Feiying and Dugu Xin, at least he didn't have any bad feelings!
In addition, Baiqi and the Forbidden Army often performed missions together in the past, so Li Junxian and Dugu Xin were old acquaintances!
"Hey! I'm not as stupid as you!"
Gongsun Liang pointed at Li Junxian and smiled, then looked at Dugu Feiying and said seriously:
"I only charge medical fees, not favors. It's troublesome to keep track of the debt, but it's not as good as the money! I treated the general in the morning because I owed the head of the Wang family a favor. If you take action for the sake of me, I won’t ask you, little general, to collect the medical fees. But tonight, if the general can escape from danger, I will take all the credit, but I should get half of the credit, right? This diagnosis It’s free, I’ll give it to you at half price!”
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was a little surprised. No one thought that Gongsun Liang would refuse to accept Dugu Feiying's favor and instead ask for money! Things like favor, sometimes it is true that there is no money, but that also depends on the situation! How can the favor of the Dugu family be measured by money? Although the current Dugu family is no longer as prosperous as it was before the Sui Dynasty, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Not only do many of its descendants serve in the court, but the Dugu family still maintains subtle ties with the royal family. How dare you underestimate me! Therefore, Dugu Feiying's promise and the favor of the Dugu family cannot be exchanged for money!
Hearing this, Dugu Feiying was also stunned for a moment, and then he quickly reacted. He clasped his fists politely as usual and said, "I wonder how much the consultation fee Mr. Gongsun thinks is appropriate?"
Gongsun Liang stretched out three fingers and said: "Three thousand strings!"
Having said that, as if he was afraid that Dugu Feiying would think that the price he was asking was too high, Gongsun Liang hurriedly explained: "Young general, don't be too expensive. In order to cure the poison and injury of the great general, I have tried my best. And the general’s life is not worth even three thousand guans no matter what, right~?”
"Mr. Gongsun, there is no need to say more. My Dugu family can still afford three thousand guan! This time, I didn't bring so much cash to escort the teachers and students of the academy to the north. But Mr. Gongsun, don't worry. When the crisis in Taiyuan City is resolved, I will go there immediately. Among the Xin clan, ask the family to send someone to send the five thousand yuan of medical fees to Huichun Hall!"
Dugu Feiying interrupted Gongsun Liang's words and said seriously.
"Okay! I can certainly trust the little general's credibility! I will give the big general a shot now!"
Hearing that Dugu Feiying took the initiative to increase the consultation fee to 5,000 yuan, Gongsun Liang smiled so much that his eyes narrowed and said quickly.
Having said that, the old man leaned down and started to give Dugu Xin the injection. After all, with Li Junxian's current physical condition, he definitely didn't have the energy to continue taking the needle for Dugu Xin!
"Squeak~!"
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside, and a forbidden soldier walked in quickly, cupped his fist to Dugu Feiying and said: "To General Feiying, Zhao Erhu and Master Han are back~!"
"Oh~? Did they catch Wang Kui~?"
Dugu Feiying's eyes lit up and he asked.
When he came back, he had heard from the Imperial Army who stayed at the posthouse that Zhao Erhu and Han Li were leading people to capture Wang Kui in a mysterious villa in the south of the city.
The forbidden soldier replied: "Back to General Feiying, only Mr. Han and Zhao Erhu came back with a small number of people. I heard that the rest are still behind!"
"Okay! Go out with me and take a look!"
Dugu Feiying nodded and was about to go out.
Tiedan said hurriedly: "General Feiying, I'm going too!"
He was naturally concerned about Han Tianhu's safety and wanted to go out to see if the latter was injured!
"Um!"
Dugu Feiying understood Tiedan's mood, he nodded and said nothing more. The two of them went out one after the other.
"Dad! Are you injured?"
A moment later, the two of them happened to meet Han Lizheng, Zhao Erhu and others on their way to the front yard of the post house. Seeing Han Lizheng dressed in blood, Tiedan immediately became anxious and ran as fast as he could. He came to Han Lizheng and asked anxiously.
"Your dad, I'm fine! This is someone else's blood!"
Seeing that his son was safe and sound, Han Li was a little relieved. He patted Tiedan's head. Then, he looked at Dugu Feiying, who was about to walk in front of him, and asked: "General Feiying, are you back? I just said When I came over, I saw signs of fighting in the post house, but something happened? By the way, where is His Highness?"
At this point, Han Lizheng realized that Li Tai was not among the visitors. A bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart, because he had told Tie Dan to protect Li Tai at all times, and now Tie Dan The egg came out, but Li Tai was not there, which means something might have happened to Li Tai!
Could it be that his previous guess came true
"Your Highness... Your Highness was captured by Turkic spies!"
Dugu Feiying's face darkened, and the trace of good mood he had just gained because Dugu Xin turned the corner into safety disappeared instantly, and he said in a low voice.
"What~? Your Highness was captured?"
Hearing this, even though Han Lizheng had been prepared, he couldn't help but be shocked.
Dugu Feiying gritted his teeth and said: "After two groups of us left the post house, the Turkic spies took advantage of the empty defense of the post house to launch a night attack and kidnapped His Highness. My eldest brother was also seriously injured because of this! By the way, Han Master, why are you the only ones back? Where are the others? Also, did you catch that old man Wang Kui during this trip?"
Strictly speaking, Li Tai's kidnapping and Dugu Xin's serious injury had something to do with Wang Kui. Of course Dugu Feiying had reason to hate Wang Kui to the core!
"The rest are still behind!"
Han Lizheng still hadn't recovered from the shock, but after hearing Dugu Feiying's question, he still replied: "Wang Kui didn't catch it, but we caught Wang Kui's son Wang Hong! We defeated him before After killing Wang Kui's killers and learning that Zhao Deyan had not sent anyone to pass on the news in advance, I felt that something was wrong and hurried back with a team of light cavalry, but I didn't expect that I would be a step too late!"
