Chance encounter

Wu Ying thought they would set off after the Chinese New Year, and the prince would take his bandit prince brother and monk prince uncle to join Qin Guan and capture the capital to rescue the emperor. , stay in the mountains well, and be his master well.

Wu Ying was ready to leave at any time, but no one had the intention of leaving. The village owner spent all day with Hua Jin, as if he was just a bandit, and everything had nothing to do with him when he left Daguanling; He didn't talk much, and when the imperial concubine was not around, he began to meditate, making people think that he was still a monk, giving people a look of being at peace with the situation; I have no interest; the prince is even more leisurely. Those who don't know think he is out for an outing. There is no sense of urgency to get rid of the fake prince and regain his identity.On the contrary, Zhang Shuo wanted to leave quickly because he was anxious to seek justice for his sister, but it was useless for Zhang Shuo to be anxious.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the first lunar month, and Wu Ying watched the three heartless princes happily finish setting off the firecrackers, thinking whether to remind the three of them that their emperor's relatives were still alive or dead in the palace. Move faster.Wuying has always felt uneasy recently, he thought that he must have been out for too long, and he must stay in the valley when he goes back, and never come out again. When he came out this time, he met all strange people.

The village owner disappeared after firing the cannon. Wuying wandered around the cottage seemingly casually, trying to find the village owner and tell him when to leave, but Wuying turned around and couldn't find the village owner.When he returned to the front yard, he found that the village owner had changed his clothes and was counting the number of people in the yard. Wu Ying thought that the village owner was preparing for the departure, so he happily wanted to go back to get the baggage he had packed earlier, but when he turned his head, Seeing other people standing under the eaves looking at the village owner, Wu Ying walked over and asked Liu Wuyan, "Why are you standing here, aren't you going to prepare?"

Liu Wuyan said: "It's fine for them to go, I'm really not suitable for fighting with people."

Wu Ying thought, could it be that they only sent the village master to find Qin Guan, and then asked: "Then you have been waiting here all this time? Are you going to the capital?"

Liu Wuyan said strangely: "It has nothing to do with whether we go to the capital or not. The village owner said that someone had entered the mountain, maybe it was a spy. He said he would arrest a few people to relieve everyone's boredom, otherwise this Chinese New Year would be no fun. of."

Wu Ying was a little disappointed after hearing this, and thought to herself, a few spies can be killed if they are killed, why do they have to be caught, if they run away accidentally, it will be more troublesome.

That night, Wu Ying saw the spies the village owner mentioned. Their luxurious clothes were already stained by mud and water. Two of them were unconscious with their heads down, and the other also bowed their heads.The village owner said to Wu Ying: "You are a genius doctor, can you make him speak?"

Wu Ying thought to himself, so Liu Wuyan insisted on pulling him over for this purpose, he said: "There are many ways to make people speak, but I don't know if it will work for him."

After hearing this, the village owner said: "Then let him use one or two to see the effect."

Wuying walked to the side of the man, and when he heard the man whispering something, he bent down, only to hear that the man seemed to be begging, and kept saying that he was a businessman, just passing by, and they could fight for money. , hoping to let him live.The man kept repeating these words, as if he was really just a passing businessman.

Wu Ying circled around the man, and he nodded at the village master, who smiled triumphantly.Wu Ying said to the man: "You are not a businessman, I can see that you grew up practicing martial arts since childhood."

That one raised his head with difficulty, and said with difficulty, "I have been weak since I was a child. Practicing martial arts is just to strengthen my body, and I don't know how to fight with others."

Wu Ying shook his head and said: "I said I can see it, so I'm not mistaken. You are good at using swords, and they are left-handed swords, and what you are best at is hidden weapons." After Wu Ying finished speaking, he immediately supported the man Grab the palm of his left arm from the top, grab the man's hand, squeeze it hard and then push it up, use the other hand to gently pull out a thin needle from the middle of the caught finger, Wu Ying smiled Looking at the man's face that had become expressionless, he suddenly twisted the man's hand, the man's brows were tightly knit together, sweat broke out from his forehead, Wu Ying's palm was pushed up to the man's elbow, back and forth from side to side As soon as he twisted it, the man couldn't bear it any longer and let out a yell.

The village owner next to him looked at it and said: "You are so disjointed, I never thought that someone would do this."

Wu Ying said with a smile: "I'm not splitting the tendons and bones, it's called splitting the muscles and eroding the bones. In less than an hour, the bones at his elbows will be completely broken."

At this time, I saw that the man had twisted his body in pain, and even the wooden stake tied to him was shaken loose by him.The village owner asked him again: "This time you still say you are in business?"

The man shook his head and said, "I said, I'm not a businessman, quick, untie it for me."

Wu Ying said: "Anyway, you won't be able to use a sword with this hand in the future, so tell me everything soon, otherwise if you drag on, you won't even be able to hold a handkerchief with this hand in the future."

The man quickly revealed his identity after hearing this, and the prince also asked about the situation in the capital. After the man finished speaking, he looked at Wu Ying anxiously. Wu Ying twisted the man a few times, and his elbow returned to its original position.The man was just relieved, but Wu Ying nailed all the thin needles he took out from between his fingers into the wrists of his hands, Wu Ying said: "If you want to take out these needles, you should tell all you know."

Liu Wuyan looked at them from a distance, this dark and damp dungeon made him feel a little depressed, he always wondered if his father was also locked in such a dungeon back then.

Wu Ying felt that it was quite fun to capture these three people. Finally, he didn't have to wait and look forward to setting off every day. He followed the advice of the empress dowager and used all the torture methods he knew that could be used here. on them.

Wu Ying didn't have many medicinal materials in his hand, so he took Zhang Shuo to the back mountain. They dug through the thick snow and looked for usable medicinal materials under the snow.

Zhang Shuo looked at Wu Ying looking for medicinal materials carefully, and remembered the book of Herbs that he was carrying with him. He didn't know what kind of medical book it was. He hadn't even read it before. There are a lot of people, and he doesn't know if people like Wuying have ever thought about getting this book. In his opinion, this book is harmful, and he wants to end his business as soon as possible and send this book to the doctor's school Well, he didn't want to care about what the genius doctor would do with this book, that was no longer something he wanted to think about.

Wuying was pulling the stones under the snow. Since the soil was frozen, it was difficult for him to find the roots of some medicinal materials. He pried open a stone and thought, he was really asking for trouble. I need to go out to find these medicinal materials by myself, the weather is so cold, my hands are frozen, Zhang Shuo can't help himself, he will just stand there in a daze.Wu Ying glanced at Zhang Shuo, but found that there seemed to be someone not far away.Wu Ying pretended to be nonchalant and continued digging while complaining that Zhang Shuo didn't help her.Suddenly he picked up a small stone and threw it at Zhang Shuo's back. Zhang Shuo was startled and thought to himself, Wu Ying knew that he had this medical book on him, so he couldn't snatch it.By the time he reacted, Wu Ying had quickly rushed behind him and arrested the man.Wu Ying grabbed the man who was grinning, and seeing Zhang Shuo was covering his chest and looking at him vigilantly, Wu Ying said: "It's not a girl, why cover it, you are as thin as ribs, I have no interest in you."

Zhang Shuo quickly put down his hand and wanted to explain, but Wu Ying had already dragged that person away.

Wu Ying learned from the person who was caught later that he was also sent to investigate. He was not caught that day. He wanted to rescue his companions but was caught. They lost interest, and it was almost the Lantern Festival. Wu Ying went to find Liu Wuyan and asked Liu Wuyan to urge them to leave quickly. He said that he missed his Yaowang Valley very much.But Liu Wuyan told him that the departure date was really uncertain, because the brothers in the village who went home for the New Year had not returned yet.However, Liu Wuyan was getting impatient with waiting, mainly because the village owner cooked all the pigeons that sent him letters into dishes, and ate his loyal messengers with Hua Jin in front of him.

A few days later, the village owner cautiously wandered around the fragrant kitchen while praising his cook. The village owner said: "After you came back, I felt that what I ate a few days ago was pig food."

The cook said calmly after hearing this: "The pigs I feed are better than what you ate a few days ago."

The village owner nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and whispered to the cook: "Stop cooking for a few days, and don't go out to wander around. Don't let those people see you, especially that shrew."

The cook said, "There are three women in the village, which one should I hide from?"

The village owner said: "It's the one who looks the most powerful and cruel, the one who hugs the monk all day long. If she knows your cooking skills, she will have to take you to the capital, and you won't be able to come back. .”

The cook nodded and said, "Then what would you do if she knew you said that to her?"

After hearing this, the village owner seemed to be known by the imperial concubine. He shivered and said, "I will avoid her too." After speaking, he picked up the pot with roasted pigeons and hugged her tightly. In front of his chest, he quickly left the kitchen, and when he went out, he was still saying: "Why didn't I think it was so delicious before."

The village owner sneaked into the room, and then quickly closed the door. When Hua Jin was about to ask what door to close in broad daylight, she smelled a scent, which made her stop all movements. The village owner put down the pot and whispered Said: "Didn't I say that the cook came back in the morning? I just caught another pigeon and let him roast it."

Before the village owner finished speaking, Hua Jin immediately opened the lid of the pot. She took a deep breath, then grabbed the pigeon and began to bite. .”

The village owner and Hua Jin held half a pigeon and gnawed it slowly. Hua Jin kept saying, "It's delicious, it's delicious."

The village owner told her: "Don't tell others that the cook is back, I told him not to let him cook for now."

Hua Jin asked in confusion: "Why don't you let him cook, I still want to take him with me when I go to the capital."

The village owner said: "Don't take him with you. If you take him away, he won't come back. If you want to eat the food he cooked in the future, you won't be able to eat it. So he has to wait in the village."

Hua Jin said while poking his bones: "Then I want to eat his cooking in the future, so I can only come to you."

The village owner said: "Then you will follow me from now on, so that you can eat every day."

Hua Jin thought for a while and said, "That's fine, then you can find me a job in the cottage."

The village owner said: "You can be Mrs. Yazhai."

Hua Jin said: "It's okay, Mrs. Yazhai said, the cook should be able to listen to me, then he will cook for me whatever I want."

After hearing this, the village owner felt that Hua Jin reluctantly agreed to be his Mrs. Yazhai because of the cook, but compared to the princess in his palace who ran away with others, this is already very good.

The village owner looked happily at Hua Jin wiggling his fingers. After Hua Jin swiped his fingers, he looked at the village owner's hand. The village owner stretched out his fingers. Hua Jin swallowed and said, "I want the one in your hand." .”

The village owner withdrew his hand and handed over the pigeon meat in the other hand. Hua Jin took it with a smile and said, "It seems that being your Mrs. Yazhai is also very good."

After hearing this, the village owner couldn't help thinking, does Hua Jin mean to be his wife or to be his wife so that he can eat delicious food.

After Hua Jin finished eating the pigeon meat, she still couldn't get enough of it and said: "Delicious is delicious, but this time this pigeon is a bit old, not as tender as the previous ones."

At this time, Liu Wuyan just opened the door and came in. He heard Hua Jin's words. Liu Wuyan had seen the paper roll under the paperweight earlier, and he knew that his carrier pigeon had been poisoned by the village owner again. He read the secret letter , went to the village owner, he thought that he might bump into the village owner and Hua Jin eating his pigeon again, but he didn't expect that after Hua Jin finished eating, he said the pigeon was a bit old, he opened the door and shouted: "Hua Jin, you ate my pigeons and still pick and choose. Is it easy for me to raise them?"

Hua Jin and the village owner hurriedly explained, and the village owner said that the pigeon had been flying for so long and was exhausted on the road.But Hua Jin was saying, in fact, this meat is not old, it's pretty good, I don't mean to say anything bad about it.

Liu Wuyan wanted to continue the attack, but suddenly smelled the fragrance, he thought, what did they do this time, it smells much better than before.He took another look at the bones on the ground and thought, at least leave one for me.

Seeing that Liu Wuyan didn't speak, Hua Jin and the village master thought he was really angry, so they quickly apologized.Liu Wuyan remembered that she had a business to do, so she waved her hands, made a heartbroken look, and said, "What do you say, they won't come back, I came to a business, a secret letter came from the capital, Li Yuan Dao waited impatiently, I'm afraid we have other plans, we have to hurry up to meet Qin Guan."

After hearing this, the village owner said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to leave, it's that I can't leave now, and no one has come back. Who should I take with me?"

Liu Wuyan said: "Then don't bring the brother of the cottage, the military power in the southeast is not in your hands."

The village owner laughed after hearing this, and said: "It seems that you already knew it, and I was still wondering when you would reveal it, but I didn't expect that it would be you who said this."

Liu Wuyan said: "Actually, you already knew that we didn't come for your cottage. The military power in the southeast has never been taken back. It seems that it is in the hands of local officials, but those officials are all from your palace. people."

The village owner said: "I really wanted to be a bandit these past few years, and I forgot my status as a prince."

Liu Wuyan said: "Since I have spoken out, will you help us or not?"

The village owner glanced at Hua Jin and said, "Even if I want to help you, I still have to wait for some brothers to come back, because I am not the only one who gave up the throne to become a bandit."

Liu Wuyan said incredulously, "You mean, most of the people in this cottage are local officials."

The village master nodded.

Liu Wuyan exclaimed, "They have all come to the cottage, so who is going to be the official for them?"

The village owner said: "There are people who will replace them. However, no one can replace the matter of leading the troops. So, let's wait. If we are lucky, we may come back tomorrow."
