Cui Xie grabbed the arm that was strangling him and pulled it out with force. The kidnapper turned the handle of the knife upside down and slapped him hard on his collarbone, telling him not to struggle. Seeing him being beaten on the ground, Peng Yan cried out "Big Brother", wishing he could rush to save him, Cui Yuan also rushed from the front of the car and knelt on the ground to save him.
Those Jin Yiwei dressed as idle men had already drawn out their sabers and pointed at the robbers, and slowly forced them to come up, but in the end they were worried that the son of Tobu Langzhong was being held hostage, so they didn't do it directly.
The man in Tsing Yi who jumped down upstairs stood about ten steps away from them, holding an embroidered spring knife, and said to the robber with a light expression: "Master Xu, the four kings of your White Lotus Sect have all been arrested, and Wei Ti in Jin Yi is riding now. Copy the pier where you are hiding, where else do you want to go?"
White Lotus Sect! Isn't it the famous cult that specialized in uprising and opposed which dynasty in which dynasty!
Cui Xie couldn't help turning his face and glanced at Xu Zushi. Xu Zushi was full of resentment, his right hand tightly restrained his neck, and whispered in his ear: "I just want to escape from here, I don't want to hurt people's lives, are you the son of a high official? If you want to survive, call those Jinyiwei guards. Make way, get in the car with me, and give me a ride!"
Jin Yiwei, who stopped the car earlier, immediately stepped forward and reminded: "Sir Qianhu, this is the son of Cui Ju, the secretary of the Ministry of Housing, Yunnan, and was about to leave Beijing for Qian'an, when he ran into our Jinyiwei office, and his subordinates stopped them. ."
Xie Qianhu nodded, stood there, holding the knife and said: "Don't say that he is just the son of a rank official, even if Cui Langzhong himself falls into your hands, you will have to be loyal to the country. You kill him, but it's not enough. If you add another crime, you can't escape death. Isn't your White Lotus Sect claiming to save the world and help the people, and will you commit murder when you are about to die?"
His expression was slightly cold, but he had a pair of naturally upturned lips, and he spoke softly, as if he was chatting with this ancestor Xu.
It's a pity that Xu Zu Shi didn't have such leisurely desires, so he tightened Cui Xie's arm muscles and shouted: "Saving the world and helping the people? Killing you dog officials and eagle dogs will save the world and help the people! We are all chanting Buddhas and worshipping Bodhisattvas. Layman Renshan, the court wants the lives of our good people for no reason, should we bow our heads and let someone kill you? If you dare to come up, I will cut off this puppy’s arm first!”
Xie Qianhu sighed: "It's a pity. Cui Xiaoguan, don't worry. After you are martyred, this official will go to the table to ask for your credit. The Son of Heaven is kind and wise, and he will give credit to your father, Cui Langzhong."
Cui Xie coughed twice, then said with a wry smile, "Then thank you very much for your kindness. But can you please give me a favor and ask the emperor to honor my biological mother?"
Xie Qianhu's gaze finally moved to his face, the corners of his lips curved deeper, he nodded and said, "It's rare that the son has a deep understanding of righteousness, Xie should answer, and he will definitely ask for it for you." He said with his right hand holding the knife, he waved his hand. , with Jin Yiwei and rushed forward.
Master Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you are not afraid of death, I will kill you first and pay for my brother's life!"
In order to facilitate dragging Cui Xie, he used his arm to hold his neck, and the tip of the knife pointed outwards. Now that he wanted to kill, he turned his hand and wanted to cut people in a comfortable position. Just as he was turning the knife, Cui Xie suddenly looked up at the roof and shouted sharply, "Our Lady of the White Lotus!"
Xu Zushi looked over subconsciously, and his hand paused in the air. Cui Xie took the opportunity to grab his arm and pushed it out, his head slammed back, and he didn't know where he hit it. Anyway, the pain was so painful that his mind was dazed, and even the wound on his leg was involved, and his feet were soft. , The whole person piled on the ground, and even the arm of the ancestor Xu fell.
Xu Zushi's body followed him forward, and the knife in his hand was almost unsteady. The sloping blade slid across Cui Xie's shoulder, opening a shallow blood opening. But at this time, his butt hit the bluestone pavement, and the wound was so painful that he couldn't feel the slight wound on his shoulder.
This series of reactions had exhausted his strength and patience, and even if Xu Zushi raised his knife and slashed at him, he would not be able to move.
Xu Zushi was knocked sour, his eyes were sore, tears were streaming down his face, and the knife almost dropped. It was hard to blink away the tears, only to find that the Jinyiwei outside had been surrounded by layers, and Xie Qianhu's embroidered spring knife had been handed to him.
He knew that he had absolutely no hope of escaping, and he hated Cui Xie to the bone, and he didn't care about the long knife that pierced his chest, he pulled the knife straight at Cui Xie and slashed it.
But before the blade fell, there was a slender embroidered spring knife in the air, fighting with his Japanese sword, making a crisp sound of hitting Jin Zhenyu, swinging the Japanese sword away. The Xiuchun Dao was handed forward, wiped down the hilt of the Japanese sword, slashed into flesh and blood, and with one more twist, abolished his right arm.
The small flags on the left and right came up to tie Xu Zushi, Xie Qianhu put the knife into the sheath, leaned over and pulled Cui Xie, the corners of his mouth were still hooked with a smile that was not a smile, and he said warmly: "It seems that I don't need to ask for the honor for the son. Today, I will report the merits of your helping Jin Yiwei to capture Xu Yingzhen, the founder of the White Lotus Sect, and I will not let you be frightened in vain."
The wound on Cui Xie's leg was broken just now. At this moment, his trousers were all wet, and because of the loose clothes, he was not soaked, but he was unconscious from the wound and could not get up.
Xie Qianhu pulled him but didn't pull it, it was a little strange at first, and then he thought that he was a scholar, and he would be paralyzed when he encountered such a thing, so he squatted down and supported him, stood up, and said with a smile, "You weren't very daring just now. Why, even the Patriarch of the White Lotus Sect dares to deceive, and now you are afraid again? I only heard that the White Lotus Sect believes in Maitreya Buddha, so what is the Lady of the White Lotus, and where did you hear it?”
Don't the white lotus religions in the movie have the Virgin Mary? Otherwise, he remembered wrongly, it was actually a saint
Cui Xie was not sure, he glanced at Xu Zushi, who was tied into zongzi on the ground. Seeing that his face was also a little confused, he lowered his eyelids and said with a guilty conscience, "I don't know if they have any, I just think that everything is yin and yang. , there is a patriarch who has to be matched with a virgin, just say it casually."
Jin Yiwei all laughed, but only rushed up with the inkstone, hugged him and cried: "Big brother, big brother, your wounds are all open! Please let my son enter the store to rest first, let us find a gentleman for him. Bar!"
Xie Qianhu followed the hand holding the inkstone, only to find that there was blood on his hem. His legs were not frightened, but he couldn't stand because of the serious injury. The corners of his upturned mouth pursed slightly, glanced at the inkstone, and asked with a frown, "Your son is the son of Tobu Langzhong, how could he be hurt like this? Who would dare to torture the official's son indiscriminately in Beijing? Your masters are also confused, you didn't know to sue the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, but instead let your son leave Beijing with injuries."
Ping Yan then remembered that he was afraid, and said in a trembling voice: "No... This is my master's order to beat the son like this. Just because the son pushed down the second son in the garden before, my master thought he had no brotherly love, so he Tell someone to beat him and drive him out of the capital..."
The corners of Xie Qianhu's mouth gradually pursed, and he instructed his subordinates: "Call someone to carry the spring stool, send Cui Xiaogongzi into the inn, and then call a smart person to take my name thorn, and go to the capital to ask the imperial physician Liu of Yonghetang to treat him. ." Then he said to him, "We don't care about your family affairs either, but Jinyiwei always has a bit of a thin face. You write a letter to Cui Langzhong, and I will ask someone to carry it for you, lest your honor will come back and accuse you of disrespecting your father's order. , and stopped in Tongzhou on the way."
Immediately, someone handed over a pen and paper, turned around obediently holding the inkstone, and asked someone to spread the paper on his back so that Cui Xie could write.
Cui Xie took the pen, held the white paper with one hand, and gestured in the air for a long time, but he didn't dare to write - he had never seen the original handwriting, and his calligraphy had not been formally learned since his parents died, that is, What if the standard of writing notices and letters of praise to schools in later generations is revealed
He was sweating on his forehead and his wrists were shaking.
Xie Qianhu was still holding him next to him, and felt his legs tremble slightly from his arms to his arms, thinking that he was too injured and lacked energy, so he took the pen and said: "Writing is also labor-intensive, I will write a post later. Send it to the mansion. You can rest in peace here, don't worry about Zun Weng's anger - this world has not helped the emperor to be convicted. "
Cui Yuan and his son stared at Xie Qianhu with wide eyes, hoping that he could persuade the master to bring the eldest young master back home. Only Cui Xie didn't want to go back, and he couldn't say it directly, so he gave the reason why he persuaded him before holding the inkstone: "Thank you Qianhu for your kindness, but Qian'an is also where my family's ancestral home is, and it is cleaner than home, so I stay there to study and take exams. more convenient."
Xie Qianhu glanced at him, saw that his expression was clear, and there was no resentment, it seemed that he really felt that the country was good, and he was quite surprised, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If that is the case, I will arrange it for you. "
At this time, the second inn came over with a spring stool, Xie Qianhu helped Cui Xie up, stepped back and looked at him and said, "I have the emperor's order, and I want to bring these demons back to pay the order, so I won't stay any longer. Young Master Cui is enjoying his life and recuperating, reading poetry and books diligently, and see you in Japan and Beijing."
Cui Xie was lying on the stool, and it was inconvenient to even hand over his hands, so he nodded to him and said, "Thank you Qianhu for taking care of me, it is inconvenient to get up from here, so I wish Lord Qianhu and you all the best of luck and a bright future."
Jin Yiwei walked away with the leaders of Bai Lian, and the inn came back to life again. The owner personally arranged the best room for Cui Xie, and even refused to accept him for the rent. He also invited a famous local doctor to prescribe medicine for his injuries, and specially set aside a small stove for him to cook medicinal meals.
Cui Xie felt bad and asked Peng Yan Rushu to pay the money, but the shop owner insisted not to accept it. He went to his bed and said, "I was oversighted in my shop earlier and let the leader of the White Lotus Sect move in. This is a deadly crime. People helped to catch the demon, and they were injured because of this. They wanted to live in my store. How could the thousand households let me wait so easily? If Xu Zushi gets away today, don’t say that my store can’t be opened. Everyone in the store has to go to the Beizhen Fusi prison to shed a layer of skin. The small officials are our benefactors, just live here, and don't mention the payment."
This store is located in a place where the capital and the North Canal are connected, and the business is so prosperous, there must be people in the government behind it. As long as it doesn't really collude with the White Lotus Sect, Jin Yiwei shouldn't arrest anyone casually.
But people were willing to take care of him, so Cui Xie accepted the kindness and settled down with peace of mind.
Cui Yuan and his son moved his luggage to the guest room, replaced the bedding and pillows with their own, and borrowed a screen from the store to block the bed. When opening the window in the morning and evening, hold the inkstone and order a home-made apricot flower fragrant pill at the window, and use the breeze to blow the lingering sweet fragrance all over the room.
Cui Xie was covered in wounds, and his nose was filled with the smell of medicine and blood. He suddenly breathed in such fresh and sweet air, and suddenly felt a little refreshed, and the wound seemed to be less painful.
