teardrops

Zhan Zhao and Rui'er were about to salute to everyone, Shi Kong looked at Rui'er, his eyes flashed, but he said nothing.The Eighth Prince said: "Guard Zhan, Miss Qin, you don't need to be too polite at this time." Turning to Rui'er, he said: "Madam, can you be sure to cure the emperor?"

Rui'er said: "My lord, the little girl has little talent and learning, and she is entrusted by the prime minister, so she dare not accept orders. Whenever a doctor cures a disease, he has a medical relationship. The little girl dare not speak nonsense here."

The Eighth Prince didn't say any more after hearing this, he just raised his hand and made a gesture of please.Rui'er nodded in greeting and came to the emperor's bedside.She stretched out a small hand like white jade, and dexterously tied a white silk thread on the emperor's wrist. On the surface, it seemed to be for the emperor to start the pulse, but in fact, a spiritual force sneaked into the emperor's body along the silk thread. , and quickly found the Dragon Ball location.

After discovering the situation of the Dragon Ball, Rui'er's complexion changed, and his hands trembled. Feng Yi hid the Dragon Ball in the emperor's twelve meridians, at the beginning of the Heart Meridian of Shaoyin in his hand, and fixed it here with magic.It's not difficult to take it out, just break Feng Yi's restriction.But once the dragon ball is taken out, all the meridians are destroyed, which will inevitably cause the eight extraordinary meridians to go retrograde, damage the emperor's heart, and the emperor will undoubtedly die.

Ruier's heart suddenly became chaotic, it seems that Feng Yi did it on purpose.If he forcibly took out the dragon ball, once he regained his strength, he would be able to break through the clouds and leave without being afraid of what happened here.But the emperor is innocent, and if he dies, the world will be in chaos, and the people will be devastated, how can we bear to see it?If you don't take out the dragon ball, after Feng Yi recovers, the Yellow River will flood, and the emperor's brother will be in danger...

The Eighth Prince who was closest to her saw that her complexion was cloudy and he didn't know what the situation was, so he carefully asked: "Miss Qin, how is the emperor's situation?" Ruier looked at Zhan Zhao's figure, sighed secretly, and made a decision in her heart .

"My lord, the emperor's disease can be cured by a little girl." She raised her head and said.

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.The Eighth Prince asked again: "How does the girl need to be treated?"

Rui'er replied: "Your Majesty, please don't worry." He took out a spell from the kit, and recited the spell in his mouth silently, only to see that spell turned into a golden light, pierced into the emperor's chest with a whoosh sound, and disappeared.This is a banning talisman, which seals all the power of the dragon ball, and will not leak a trace.The emperor's illness was cured naturally, but Rui'er could no longer take out the natal dragon ball.

Everyone was surprised when they saw her move, Rui Er said to the Eighth Prince: "My lord, this is not a sorcerer's art. The little girl has practiced Taoism under the seat of Master Zhang Tianshi taught by Zhengyi since she was a child, and she has expelled all the evil forces from the emperor. .The emperor is fine."

Everyone saw that although the emperor hadn't woken up, he was breathing evenly, and the high fever had receded. They summoned the imperial physician to take the emperor's pulse, and they said that there was no problem. After a night of rest, they would wake up.

The Eighth Prince felt Daan in his heart, and said he wanted to thank Rui'er, but Rui'er's expression was gloomy, and he refused to accept the resignation.Zhan Zhao was at the side, seeing this situation, he had already guessed the truth to eight points, and felt sad.

Seeing that the emperor had fallen asleep peacefully, the eighth prince went into the harem to report the good news to the queen mother, and everyone also asked to resign.Out of the palace gate, Bao Zheng bowed to Ruier and said: "Miss Qin, Bao Zheng thanked you on behalf of the subjects and people of the Great Song Dynasty." Ruier hurriedly returned the salute: "My lord, please don't be too polite, and the little girl must never dare Accept." Bao Zheng said again: "Miss Qin, several murder cases in Kaifeng City are still unresolved, and I hope that the girl will come back with us to investigate the case together." Rui'er said: "My lord, please forgive me for not being able to follow orders. The little girl's elder brother is still in the hands of the gangster, and her life is in danger at any time, so the little girl must go to the rescue." After speaking, he glanced at Zhan Zhao, his eyes full of anxiety.

Zhan Zhao understands her thoughts, and doesn't want others to know her identity.But she didn't get the Dragon Ball, if she ventured into the Shui Mansion alone, it must be a disaster, so she also stepped forward and said to Bao Zheng: "My lord, please ask your subordinates to accompany Miss Qin to save people. After you rescue Miss Qin's brother , this subordinate and Miss Qin will return to Kaifeng Mansion."

Rui'er stared at him with some reluctance in her eyes, but said: "Thank you Mr. Zhan for your kindness, but I have troubled you a lot before, and I really can't trouble you anymore." Turning around, she said to Bao Zheng: "My lord, you If you can trust the little girl, after her brother is rescued, the little girl will definitely return to Kaifeng Mansion to help the adults solve the case."

Bao Zheng saw her sincerity, and thought that his brother was in danger of his life, so it was really not appropriate to force her to stay at this time.Then he said softly: "If that's the case, Bao Zheng will obey the girl's words. But you are alone in danger, it is really uncomfortable. So, how about Bao Zheng asking Zhan Wei to go with you?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Rui'er, his eyes were full of worry, Rui'er looked back at him, and replied: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, but it is related to my family disputes, and outsiders should not get involved too deeply. Master Zhan has already He has saved the little girl's life several times, but the little girl has nothing to repay, how dare he put him in danger again?"

When Bao Zheng heard the words, he still wanted to speak, but he saw that Shi Kong recited a gatha, walked up to Ruier and Bao Zheng, folded his hands together, and said slowly: "Master Bao, the Buddha said, there is a predestined relationship in the world. Qin The result of the girl's departure is already determined, so don't force it." After speaking, she looked at Rui'er with deep eyes, and Rui'er also raised her head to look at him, and felt that this monk seemed to have a penetrating power, looking straight into her heart, I can't help being surprised.But she quickly stabilized her mind and said: "It's just as the master said. The little girl will leave now."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and everyone saw that beautiful figure disappear into the night.Bao Zheng noticed that there was a trace of loneliness and anxiety in Zhan Zhao's eyes.

Back in Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng called Zhan Zhao to the study, leaving only Gongsun Ce by his side.Ask what happened after you left.Zhan Zhao hesitated for a while, unable to hide the truth from his teacher and friend Bao Zheng, he said, "My lord, what happened here is really unbelievable. Miss Qin once asked her subordinates not to reveal her real identity. I would like to keep my lord secret, so I will tell my lord, and I beg you not to spread the word." After speaking, he told Bao Zheng everything that happened before, but only concealed Feng Yi's admiration for Rui'er.Because he felt in his heart that when he mentioned it to others, he always felt a dull pain.

After speaking, he took out Zhudi Sword and handed it to Bao Zheng for inspection.Both Bao Zheng, Gong and Sun Ce were shocked by Zhan Zhao's bizarre experience.As soon as Bao Zheng received the Emperor Zhu Sword in his hand, he felt a mighty power surging in the sword, like a flying dragon about to ascend to heaven.Looking closely at the sword body, the workmanship is exquisite, which is rare in the world.Sighing secretly, he returned the sword to Zhan Zhao.

Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce glanced at each other, and Gongsun Ce said: "In the details here, my lord has already expected the identity of Feng Yi, but I don't know that Miss Qin is actually the princess of the Dragon Clan. But according to the guard Zhan, Feng Yi was repeatedly injured in Beijing. Human life is to divert the course of the Yellow River and make life on both sides of the Yellow River miserable?"

"Sir, you are right. This subordinate once broke through the water mansion of the Yellow River with Miss Qin, and fought against the evil dragon. She also told her subordinates that the God of the Yellow River has been severely injured and cannot make waves for the time being, but he can wait for him." Restoring vitality, I'm afraid it will be a catastrophe for the people on both sides of the Yellow River."

Bao Zheng said worriedly: "This matter is already related to the dragon god of the water tribe, and it is difficult for me and other mortals to get involved in it. But this matter is also related to the life and death of the people on both sides of the Yellow River, and we cannot just sit idly by. Mr. Gongsun, I will issue an official document now, writing Order the prefectures along the Yellow River in Kaifeng to send sufficient manpower to strengthen inspections of the Yellow River, and if there is a tendency to flood, report it directly to the Kaifeng government. And prepare enough food and medicinal materials for emergencies."

Gongsun Ce agreed, and immediately went to transcribe the official document.

Bao Zheng walked slowly to Zhan Zhao, and said warmly: "Guard Zhan, you have worked hard for many days, so go back and rest. If the Yellow River really floods, there will be another hard work."

Zhan Zhao agreed and backed out.But he didn't go back to his room, but came to the stable alone.Seeing that it was him, Aoshuang, the pure and white steed, neighed happily and snorted again and again. He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Aoshuang's soft neck, feeling sad again in his heart, where did she go?How to fight against Feng Yi alone?

The moon is as cold as water, and his heart is also icy cold.

The next day, the emperor recovered physically, and the affairs of the court were restored to the original state.When Bao Zheng went to court, he also invited the emperor, saying that there has been a lot of rain recently, and the embankment of the Yellow River needs to be reinforced to avoid accidents.The emperor agreed, so he passed down his decree and ordered the river affairs to do it.Bao Zheng and the others feel at ease now.

Kaifeng Mansion is busy with affairs, and Zhan Zhao is also busy with official duties every day after returning to the mansion.Regarding what happened to Qin Rui the day before yesterday, except for Bao Zheng Gongsun Ce, he did not mention it to others.It's just that the people in the mansion feel that the guard with the sword in front of the imperial court has always had a worried look on his face in recent days, and he is often silent, and the place he frequents has become the stable in the mansion, and most of his free time is spent by Aoshuang's side .People in the mansion often see a figure in a bright red dress standing in front of a snow-white horse, staring at Ao Shuang with cold pool-like eyes for a long time, or gently stroking the horse's mane, but it is a Say nothing.

Others don't know that whenever Zhan Zhao returns to his room at night, he always holds a huge and dazzling pearl in his hand and stares at it for a long time. What flashes in front of his eyes is the beautiful figure in blue clothes. Where do you think she is?Is the injury healed?Did you go to the Yellow River Water Mansion to fight against Feng Yi alone?Then I always feel anxious, tossing and turning, having trouble falling asleep.

Bao Zheng saw these things in his eyes, but there was nothing to comfort him.And Bao Zheng himself was worried about Qin Rui.Strangely, after seeing Rui'er, the majestic governor of Kaifeng felt a feeling of pity for the little princess of the dragon clan.He has always regarded Zhan Zhao as a confidant, and cared as much as his own son.He understood the thoughts of the young couple, but he couldn't think about it, so he could only sigh secretly.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhan Zhao was ordered by Bao Zheng to inspect the river affairs along the Yellow River. This was not part of his job, but Bao Zheng saw that the solar eclipse didn’t taste good and he couldn’t sleep well, so he let him go to another job to understand it. gloomy.Zhan Zhao took the order and set off immediately.He went to the stable to fetch Ao Shuang, got on the horse, and left in the dust.

Aoshuang is extremely handsome, Zhan Zhao quickly left Kaifeng City Gate, arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, galloped all the way along the river bank, but saw that the embankment along the bank had started to be reinforced.His worry did not abate. If the evil dragon really got angry and the water of the Yellow River flooded, what effect would the embankment reinforced by manpower do?

Until it was getting dark, he entered a small inn by the Yellow River, preparing to rest for the night and continue on his way tomorrow.The inn was small, but it was clean. After Aoshuang was settled properly, he ordered some food and sat down in the lobby to eat.At this time, there were no other guests in the inn, and it was very deserted.

At this time, a middle-aged man came in through the door.The waiter hurriedly went up to ask, and the man said: "If you want white pear blossoms, just fry two small dishes." His voice was low and loud, but quite imposing.

Zhan Zhao was preoccupied, turned his back to the man, and didn't turn around.

The man sat down at the table next to Zhan Zhao, but when he turned his head and saw the Zhu Emperor Sword that Zhan Zhao had placed on the table, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.Soon the food and wine he asked for came out.But the man held the wine jar in one hand and the cup in the other, walked to Zhan Zhao's table and sat down by himself.

"Young man, the weather is cold, why don't we have a drink together." After saying that, he pushed the wine jar lightly and pushed it down in front of him.Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked at the man in front of him: brocade clothes and high crown, three beautiful beards, square face, without anger and prestige, a kingly air rushed towards his face.Although the tone is a request, it cannot be refused.

Zhan Zhao was in a bad mood, but it was a good intention to see the other party, so it was inconvenient to refuse, so he took it with both hands.He said: "Thank you." After speaking, he poured the wine into the glass and drank it down.Still silent.Seeing him drinking freely, the middle-aged man smiled, and shouted to the store: "Shopkeeper, this cup is too small, take two big bowls!"Holding the wine jar in his hand, the middle-aged man poured a bowl for himself and Zhan Zhao. He lifted his own wine bowl first and drank it all in one gulp.Between gestures, an extraordinary demeanor was beyond words.

Zhan Zhao also drank the wine in the bowl, and the fragrant and mellow wine slipped from his throat into his stomach, and a burning sensation caused a sense of warmth in his body.The Pear Blossom White is brewed from glutinous rice, sweet and soft in the mouth, but full of stamina.The two of them didn't speak a word, they just drank bowls of wine.After a while, he couldn't help feeling a little drunk.
