There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

Shi Zhongzhu calmed down and looked to the shore. Three well-dressed people were fighting with Master Dong. Master Guo drew the dagger from his shoulder with his backhand and joined the battle circle.The three of them were fighting while looking at him. Shi Zhongzhu knew that the target of the three was himself.

Shi Zhongzhu didn't go ashore to help out of self-control, their goal was himself, Shi Zhongzhu swam to the depths of the river, swam two steps, saw that Ji Mudan was still in a daze, swam back a few more times, and asked, "You don't know how to swim?" ?”

"Ah, huh? Yes, a little bit."

Seeing his frightened look, Shi Zhongzhu said, "Lie on your back, lie on your back, oh, don't dawdle, turn your back to me, turn your back to me, I'll put my arms around your neck, make sure your mouth and nose are on the water, I'll take you You swim to the depths."

Shi Zhongzhu instructed Ji Mudan to adjust his posture, and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, the two masters are very skilled." He dragged Ji Mudan to swim deep.

To put it bluntly, in fact, Shi Zhongzhu did not go into the water for more than 3 minutes to swim to the depths. He swam to the middle of the river and kept a safe distance from the river bank. Shi Zhongzhu dragged Ji Mudan's back and waist to prevent him from sinking. Look at the situation on the shore.Thanks to Guangyuan's strict control, the three of them only have short weapons such as daggers, no long knives, long swords, and no long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows. A standard.

"Lie on your back, lie on your back, don't jump on me, it's easy to choke on water, lie on your back, don't worry, I won't let you go, paddle with both hands, paddle, don't try to catch me, paddle." No Swimming, or people with poor water skills, subconsciously grasp objects to fix themselves when they enter the water. Shi Zhongzhu kept ordering Ji Mudan to lie on his back to ensure the support. Water, Shi Zhongzhu was much more relaxed holding her up.

The assassination on the shore did not last long. There were also many guards patrolling the Lantern Festival today. Most of the guards were Master Dong. When they saw three people besieging Master Dong, they immediately stepped forward to help. The situation became clear in an instant. , and fight while retreating, looking around for a week and found that there is no way out, and directly committed suicide.

Master Dong couldn't stop him, and watched the three die.

When Shi Zhongzhu saw the guards coming, he knew that there was no danger, and began to swim back with Ji Mudan.Master Dong handed over the three corpses to the guards, asked Master Guo to lean on one of the guards, and ran to the river to meet Shi Zhongzhu by himself.

"It's on the shore, the river is very shallow, you can step on it to the bottom, you can step on it to the bottom, Mu...Ji...you come down, step on the bottom," Shi Zhongzhu first directed Ji Mudan to step on the waist-deep water, and said, "You Hide in the water first." Shi Zhongzhu ran ashore with a few big strides, and asked, "Is Master Dong injured?"

"Second young master, no, it's just that Guo Li injured his right shoulder and there are some scratches." Master Dong replied.

"It's good that he wasn't fatally injured, what about the gangster?"

"Dead, suicide."

"Master Dong, let's send Master Guo to the shop of Ji's house for Mrs. Ji Jing's diagnosis and treatment. The corpse of the gangster will be handed over to a servant. Mmm...Master Dong, please take off your coat for me."

"Ah?" Master Dong thought he had heard wrong, and took off his clothes at such a serious moment.

"Ji Mu is a woman, and her clothes were wet." Shi Zhongzhu explained.

Master Dong understood in seconds. He took off his coat and handed it to Shi Zhongzhu. Master Dong turned his back to the river and walked to the middle of the guards. Seeing that no one was paying attention to the river, Shi Zhongzhu shouted, "Come on."

Ji Mudan crossed her arms and went ashore. It was probably spring, and she was wearing quite a lot of clothes. In fact, she didn't show her figure. Shi Zhongzhu handed her the dry coat, "You can put it on."

Ji Mudan didn't speak, took it with one hand, turned her back, put Master Dong's clothes on her shoulders, followed Shi Zhongzhu with her head down, and walked among the guards.

"Thank you all the guards for your help." Shi Zhongzhu came over, dripping wet, and thanked all the guards for their help first, and then asked everyone to send the Buddha to the west, and then send them to Ji's shop.

Master Dong took over Guo Li and let Guo Li lie on his back. The four of them walked in the middle, the guard who carried the corpse walked at the end, and the one next to him was holding a knife empty-handed. Go to Jijing.

Seeing that the people who saw the big event didn't stay away from the place where the incident happened, they hid in a place where they could see clearly, and pointed and pointed along the way.

When Shi Zhongzhu and his party arrived at Jifu, Nanshan and the eleven guards were already waiting at the gate of Jifu. The news had already come, and they were afraid of running away again, so they just waited at the gate.

When Nanshan saw Shi Zhongzhu came back, he immediately stepped forward and said in a hurry, "Master, whether you are injured or not, it is all my fault, you should be by the master's side."

"Okay, Nanshan, I'm fine."

While Shi Zhongzhu comforted Nanshan, the guards had already stepped forward to salute, "Second Young Master!"

"Masters, you don't need to be too polite. Come two people and escort Master Guo to the inner hall, ask Mr. Ji Jing to treat him, and divide them into several people and go to the county government to report the case with the guards. Quick, quick." Shi Zhongzhu quickly ordered.

The guards moved separately automatically, Shi Zhongzhu grabbed Wang Tai who was walking last among the guards who accompanied the guards to the county government office, and whispered, "Check carefully, try to find out the identity." Wang Tai nodded slightly as a signal, and followed without stopping.

Ji Jing also knew the news a long time ago, prepared the tools to treat the trauma, waited at the door of the room, watched Master Dong come in with Master Guo on his back, and said to the two guards who followed, "Two strong men took the wounded to the hospital. Come down, besides the back shoulder, where else is he injured?"

"There is a knife wound on the left arm." Master Dong replied.

"Okay, put him down, lie down, don't touch the wound, count carefully, lightly." Ji Jing ordered Master Guo to be placed on the bed, Ma used scissors to cut off the clothes next to the knife wound on the back shoulder, and the color of the blood was normal. Said, "Fortunately, the knife wound is not poisonous."

"Fortunately, fortunately." Shi Zhongzhu traveled all the way, thinking about various assassins and various ways of death. If it is just a simple trauma, it will not be fatal.

Ji Jing concentrated on treating Master Guo's injuries, Shi Zhongzhu stretched out his hand to check Master Dong's body, it wasn't because he made a fuss, Shi Zhongzhu remembered that when people are extremely excited, they will subconsciously shield their own body from being hurt. It was only when he was out of danger that he realized that he had been seriously injured.

Master Dong has been in the martial arts all year round, and he also knows that there are such "killed stunned" people on the battlefield. Ren Shi Zhongzhu checked it once and comforted him, "Second Young Master, I'm fine."

"Second Young Master, Guo Li has us here, go and change your clothes first, the water is cold in spring, don't get sick." Master Dong suggested.

"Don't worry, I'll wait for Master Guo to bandage up before going."

"Brother Zhu, this Master Guo is fine, but he has lost too much blood. I will sew up his wound and take good care of it. You should go change and wash first, and the disease will pass. Don't get typhoid fever again." Ji Jing Persuade.

"What Shi Weng said is true, then I'll go first. Master Dong, if Master Guo wakes up, call me." Shi Zhongzhu knew that he couldn't help here, so he and Nanshan retreated first.

When Shi Zhongzhu came to the guest room, Nanshan had already put clean clothes on the bed, Shi Zhongzhu took off the wet clothes, and Nanshan shouted from the outside, "Master, Nanshan brought the hot water."

Shi Zhongzhu soaked in the river water, covered in cold and hot sweat, but he didn't dare to delay, took a battle bath, put on his clothes quickly, and Nanshan wiped his hair with a dry cloth.

When they brushed their hair, Wang Tai had already returned.

"Second Young Master, Wang Tai asks to see you." Wang Tai repented outside.

"Master Wang, please come in."

"The clothes are disheveled, which made Master Wang laugh. It's just an urgent matter, and I don't care about politeness. Please tell me what Master Wang found out." Shi Zhongzhu's clothes are not disheveled now, only his hair is still loose and dripping.

"Master Wang, sit down and talk." Shi Zhongzhu asked Master Wang to sit down, and motioned for Nanshan to brush his hair.

"Master Xie. I took a closer look at the three gangsters. The clothes they wore outside were from a local silk shop in Guangyuan, and they wore brown shorts that ordinary people often wear. They are also popular goods. It's nothing unusual, my brother Wang. Hong has already gone to the shop overnight to inquire, to see what he can find out. The daggers they use are the military standard. This kind of dagger has just been equipped with the military. Their kung fu is also the military route. I am sure they are the military The people who came out. All three of them have some old wounds on their bodies, all from sword wounds, other than that, they have ordinary faces and figures, and they don't have any seals to prove their identities."

"Is there no mark on the weapon?"

"Yes, it belongs to the Boryeong Metropolitan Command Division."

"The commander of the capital? Could it be that Lei Ji, the former commander of the capital?" asked Shi Zhongzhu.

"I'm not sure, but Lei Ji is General Zhou's beloved disciple. He was born in the Northwest Army, and his subordinates walked in a fierce way. The three of them today are typical Shuzhong martial arts, not like it. "Wang Tai also heard Master Dong talk about today's situation, and he has no doubts about Master Dong's judgment.

"Maybe he only took weapons, and he was looking for local soldiers?" Shi Zhongzhu asked, "Well, let's find more clues, Master Wang Tai, you and Master Dong. I don't care about this. I don’t really understand, let me know the result when the time comes.”

Before they finished talking, Master Dong came and shouted, "Guo Li is awake!"

Shi Zhongzhu took the thick cloth from Nanshan's hand, took a hair tie casually, tied up his hair loosely, and walked out while doing it.

Arriving at Guo Li's room, Guo Li was lying on his stomach, without a porcelain pillow, but with a quilt on his feet. The left side of his head looked like a doorway.Shi Zhongzhu ran over in two or three steps. Both of his hands were injured and it was difficult to touch them. He just squatted down and his eyes were at the same level as him. "Thanks to Master Guo today. Mr. Ji Jing saw Master Guo's injury. There is no serious injury." It’s just resting. Master Guo will take care of you at ease, and I will stay in Guangyuan for a long time. Don’t worry about it, just rest in peace.”

"The responsibility lies, Second Young Master..." Guo Li just wanted to say a few words of modesty, but he turned his head and pulled his right shoulder when he spoke, and he couldn't speak because of the pain.

"Master Guo, don't talk too much. I know that you are my father's most trusted confidant. We are like a family, so there is no need to say polite words. You have hurt your vitality today, so take a good rest." Shi Zhongzhu comforted, and didn't bother too much. Turning around, several masters in the room arrived, "Let's leave first, let Master Guo rest."

After speaking, he took the lead and walked out.

Shi Zhongzhu came out with a few people, and said to Master Dong, "Master Dong, you are looking at the county government's investigation of the identities of several gangsters, and you can't just rely on the county government, we have to investigate ourselves."

Master Dong responded, and Shi Zhongzhu took Nanshan back to his residence.Today they are all renting at Ji Jing's house, after all there is Guo Li who is not easy to move.Nanshan was frightened and wanted to stay on the floor of the house to keep watch at night. Shi Zhongzhu wanted to talk about it, so he let him sleep on the small bed outside, and he must be called if something happened.

On a thrilling day, Shi Zhongzhu lay relaxed on the bed, wondering if there was something he didn't do, what was it?When he was about to fall asleep in a daze, Shi Zhongzhu remembered: Ji Mu is a girl!
