As a clean and honest official with outstanding political achievements, he was specially appointed as a supervisory official. From Wupin, he went to Rong'an City to investigate the flood burst and sent another imperial physician to Rong'an City to control the epidemic. "

"The emperor is holy, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

(17) Assassination

When he was about to leave for the capital, the scholar reluctantly walked out of the mansion with his luggage in his arms. It wasn't that he couldn't bear hardships, but he just didn't want to ride a horse.

After being on horseback for a day, and then getting off the horse, the scholar's legs are basically soft.

Xue Yu brushed off his sleeves, pointed to the black horse beside him: "Hurry up, we're about to set off."

The scholar walked over slowly, put the burden on his back, grabbed the saddle with both hands, stepped on the pedal with one foot, and exerted force suddenly.

bass!The scholar's foot slipped from the stirrup, he staggered, and almost fell.

Xue Yu saw that the scholar hadn't improved at all.

The scholar gave him a few dry laughs, and continued to climb on the horse's back. Fortunately, the horse was quite obedient, and even the scholar tossed around it without becoming agitated.

Xue Yu was watching from the side. Someone wanted to pass by, but he also raised his hand to signal that he didn't allow it. In the end, the scholar finally climbed onto the horse's back, and sat on the saddle, panting from exhaustion.

Due to the limited ability of the scholars to ride horses, and the fact that they still had to transport food and grass for the return journey, the speed of the entire team was still not fast.

The scholar was sitting on the horse's back, staggering here and there, holding the reins tightly with both hands, and was almost half prone on the horse's back, looking as if he was dying.

The team began to slowly march towards the capital, however, the weather was not very good, it seemed that it was going to rain.

Find a place to stay as soon as possible today.

The scholar was lying on the horse's back in a daze, while Xue Yu rode beside him, neither far nor near.

Well!A shout from behind made the scholar persevere, and when he looked behind him, his dull eyes lit up.

Someone shouted: "Be careful."

All the guards are on alert.

There were people ambushing here, all of them with long knives and long swords, and killed them from both sides.

"What are you doing?"

Xue Yu raised his hand and slapped Zhao Yuqing's head hard, waking up the scholar who was still dreaming!

This nerd must be stupid in reading!I can't even see what's going on!

The guards stood around Xue Yu and Zhao Jun, protecting them and stopping the attacking thieves, and screams came out one after another.

The scholar woke up from a daze, grasping the reins with both hands helplessly, watching the two sides fighting, the knife saw blood, and some blood spurted out, he wrinkled his nose, and his stomach was overwhelmed.

It was another bloody battle. After the screams disappeared, there were dead people and bloodstains all over the place. The pungent bloody smell made the scholar vomit slightly. He was not dizzy with blood, but he still couldn't bear the stimulation of the bloody smell.

"Are you OK?"

Xue Yu always felt that there was something wrong with Zhao Jun in front of her. Zhao Jun had always been a sincere and trustworthy person, but this time she was unusually calm, which made Xue Yu a little confused.

"What can Xiaosheng do?"

Zhao Jun looked at Xue Yu, if he had something to do at this time, he would be forced out by them.

The team walked forward slowly, leaving the bloody place, where killings were everywhere, which made Zhao Jun feel like an outsider.

It didn't take long for the originally clear sky to become cloudy.

After a while, there was rumbling thunder, and the raindrops hit the soldiers mercilessly.

And right now!

"Whoosh!"An arrow flew over again with the momentum of piercing the clouds!Xue Yu quickly blocked the arrow in front of the scholar.

"Get down!"

There were more and more people behind him, and at this moment, the scholar realized that they were being closely watched by the co-authors!

"Follow me!"

Xue Yu led Zhao Jun to run in the opposite direction. This Zhao Jun did not know martial arts, and that was what he was most worried about!

However, those assassins had already spotted their figures and followed them.

The heavy rain was pouring down, and Xue Yu didn't notice that there was a person following them behind them at all!This gave the assassin an opportunity!

When Xue Yu was unprepared, the assassin picked up a dagger and slammed it into Xue Yu's back!

Ugh!There was a scream.

Xue Yu had already turned around and kicked the man to the ground with a roundabout kick. The heavy rain made all of Xue Yu's blood flow on the ground, forming a bright red patch.

Although Xue Yu was seriously injured, he was not powerless to fight back. Finally, he gritted his teeth, pulled out the dagger behind him, and stabbed at the assassin who rushed over.

He was killed with a knife, but Xue Yu also knelt on the ground.

"Cough cough."

"Xue Yu!" Seeing this scene, the scholar hastily reined in the rein, but he was thrown off the horse because of the rein.

The scholar didn't care too much, got up from the ground and ran towards Xue Yu.

"I'm fine. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go."

Xue Yu wanted to stand up, but for some reason, he fell down again, and more and more blood flowed from his body, which made him a little delirious.

The scholar picked up Xue Yu who was next to him. The torrential rain blurred their vision. They were unfamiliar with this place, so they could only stumble forward.

But Xue Yu's consciousness became more and more blurred.

The scholar also wants to know why this person always saves himself and puts himself in trouble. These are indeed unbelievable, but now is really not a good time to ask.

The scholar didn't know what to say at this time, the rain was too loud, and what he said was useless.

The scholar helped Xue Yu walk in the heavy rain, impatient, they just need a shelter.

The scholar secretly made an oath that if he could find a place to live, he would even lose his lifespan.

Unexpectedly, he only said it in his heart once, and a temple slowly appeared in front of him.

The scholar immediately muttered: "Do you want to treat Xiaosheng like this? Xiaosheng said he wanted to shorten his life, but he didn't say how long it would be. Let's say ten days, no more."

"What are you mumbling about?"

The scholar quickly shook his head: "Nothing, nothing."

After entering, I found that this is a deserted temple. Although it is relatively simple, it can still shelter from wind and rain.

The scholar put Xue Yu on an open space in the temple. Although the temple was a bit dilapidated, it could still provide shelter from the rain.

Seeing that Xue Yu hadn't moved for a long time, the scholar touched him.

"It's okay, wake up, wake up quickly."

The scholar touched it, and Xue Yu was wet all over, and there were injuries on his body, what should I do?

He took off Xue Yu's clothes first, then tore a piece of cloth from his body and wrapped it up first.

Now that Xue Yu's body was getting colder and colder, the scholar wrung out the rainwater from his sleeves, and then looked for some thatch in the temple, as there was really no fire or flint that could make a fire.

The scholar rolled up his sleeves, that's all he could do.

Cough cough cough...

The scholar wiped the water from his face, and the ashes from his hands stained his face. After working hard for a long time, smoke finally came out, and he managed to set the fire alight.

The scholar took off his coat first, shivering in the cold, and when he dried his coat, the inner coat on his body was also completely dry.

It took him a long time to strip Xue Yu naked, cover him with his coat first, and then go to dry his clothes.

(18) greedy for money

Xue Yu's complexion was not good. He was seriously injured and drenched in heavy rain. If he was alive, he was lucky. Right now, he had nothing to do. He could only stop the bleeding with Bule, and the scholar had no choice.

The scholar was only wearing his inner coat, shivering from the cold, and coughing unceasingly. The clothes on his body were all covered by Xue Yu, and he still held his wet clothes.

What kind of fate is this?

"Are you awake? Ah... ahhh!" Seeing that Xue Yu was awake, the scholar hurried over to touch her.

Xue Yu only felt a severe pain in his back, sat up, and the clothes covering his body slipped off, and he grabbed the clothes covering himself tightly.

"You took it off?"

"Well, how about it?" The scholar said and returned the clothes he had dried to Xue Yu.

"The clothes are dry."

The scholar was very cold and coughed all the time, probably because he was afraid of disturbing him, so he coughed under his throat.

Xue Yu put on her own clothes, with a gloomy expression, staring at the scholar all the time.

They stayed in the ruined temple for a while, and Han Jian and his men arrived here.

At this time, after the round, they found an inn to rest temporarily, at least they did not plan to continue on their way today.

When the waiter in the shop saw that they were all officials, they must be very distinguished guests!Can't neglect it!The group found an empty seat and sat down.

"Guest officer, what should I write?"

The waiter in the shop was very enthusiastic, and when he saw a customer arriving, he immediately came up to greet him. Xue Yu looked at the two people around him, and before he could speak, the scholar at the side answered, "Come here for two of the signature dishes."

"Got it!"

Talking quickly, Xue Yu glanced at the scholar, and said nothing, it doesn't matter what you eat, it's just...

Xue Yu sat down and said, "You will pay the silver in a while."

The scholar hugged his burden tightly, and said nervously: "Why, Xiaosheng is so poor that he can't afford it."

Xue Yu glanced at the scholar's bulging bag on the table, and asked, "What's in that bag?"

"Book." The scholar replied in one go, but before saying this, he first tucked up the brocade clothes that were exposed by the burden, so that they were all exposed.

"Oh, is it?"

The scholar said triumphantly: "That's natural, Xiaosheng is a scholar with elegant aspirations."

"This is my cloak."

Seeing that the burden was exposed, the scholar hurriedly picked it up again, stuffed the clothes inside, and said awkwardly, "Didn't you say it to Xiaosheng?"

"Yes
