Snake Tale

Luo Yi arranged for his soldiers to clean up the troops and bury the battlefield, while he picked out strong and good horses and led a group of elite light cavalry to gallop along the path. Under the cover of night, they finally returned to Jiangdu at dawn the next day.

However, as soon as he stepped into the vestibule of Luo Mansion, he saw the young man's panic-stricken face. "Uncle," Luo Wuxie led him to the side room, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid something has changed in the Huan residence!"

Luo Yi saw a gray-faced woman on the couch at a glance.When Ying Qi saw Luo Yi, she struggled to turn over and bow down.How could Luo Yi let her move rashly, he lightly supported her arm, and stretched out his palm to protect her wisp of gossip.It was observed that her neck was injured by the short arrowhead, but fortunately the location was subtle, and the main vein was not damaged.It turned out that after Ying Qi and Shen Yuzhu escaped from the Huan Mansion, they wanted to sneak back to the Luo Mansion to return to life, but they were injured by cold arrows on the way.Shen Yuzhu was also taken away in order to protect Yingqi, and his life and death are unknown at the moment.

Hearing the words "life and death unknown", Luo Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to inquire about the details, but Ying Qi's throat was injured, and when she tried to speak, her vocal cords were pulled, and blood gushed out, choking into her throat middle.He had no choice but to suppress his uneasiness and said: "Don't talk, self-cultivation is the most important thing!"

Ying Qi looked anxious, kept marking the word "help" in Luo Yi's hands, and still tried to get up and report to Luo Yi with a pen and paper.Luo Yi saw that her blood was gone and her breath was dying, and she refused to let her move rashly, so she said, "Huan Guo has been dealt with by us, I have other arrangements for Shen Yuzhu. You must rest in peace and recuperate. After recovering soon, there are still important things to do." to deliver to you."

His tone was calm and calm, and Ying Qi couldn't help but believe it.She was so weak that she collapsed on the bed as soon as her body went limp.Luo Yi called the medical staff to come forward for treatment, and ordered to keep Ying Qi safe and sound at all costs.

Luo Wuxie followed Luo Yi step by step to the vestibule, held his breath and waited for a while, but still did not see Luo Yi's order.He raised his eyes and saw that Luo Yi was only staring at a sycamore tree in the vestibule and remained silent.He couldn't help but reminded: "Uncle, I'm going to court in another hour. Are you...don't you go change your clothes?"

When Luo Yi came back to his senses, he realized that he was still wearing blood-stained armor.He put away the chaotic thoughts in his head, pondered for a while, and said: "Wuxie, from today on you will go to court on my behalf, and tell the outside world that I have an old attack and am bedridden."

Luo Wuxie was slightly stunned, and after a little thought, he understood.Later today, the news of Huan Guo's death will reach the court.Although the demise of Huan Guo can be said to be what the people want, rumors are terrible, and the Luo family should not be too high-profile to avoid unnecessary criticism.

"Besides that, I have other important things to plan." Luo Yi seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said, "Wu Shi, do you know what the king ordered me to destroy the Huan family for?"

"Huan Guo is domineering and arrogant, so he is naturally hated by the owner."

Luo Yi raised his lips and smiled, and said: "In terms of long-term vision, you are not as good as Aning. Is Huan Guo worth such a lot of trouble? The reason why that fellow is so arrogant and arrogant is rooted in his self-esteem The ancestors made an oath with the princes and entrusted the land to the Huanzhuang clan related to their own blood. The Wuxun old fellows are in vain, how can a public official with a foreign surname like our Luo family have a bright future? Hmph, the Marquis of Jin wants to use my hand to consolidate the throne, why don't I want to use his hand to clear the way? Huan His demise is only the first step. After his death, the fiefdoms and treasures that have been plundered over the years have attracted the covetousness of many people... How can I not make a good article and wipe out those old clansmen who have left their bodies? What? No shirt, just wait slowly!"

He sneered slightly, closed his eyes, and cast a shadow on his eyelashes.His outline is exquisite and clear, and it can even be said to be beautiful, but in those green eyes, there is a gloomy and cold expression from time to time.And his hypocritical way of dealing with the world tightly wrapped up the vitality he should have.Only when he closes his eyes like this and is too lazy to hide anything, the will and sharpness he exudes, even if it is stubborn and cold, it has to be said to be very pleasing to the eye.Especially for Luo Wuxie, who is eager to become an adult and stand on his own feet, it is simply the attraction of candlelight to moths.

Luo Wuxie was eager to try, and said with a smile, "I would like to follow my uncle's teaching!" But he quickly thought of something, hesitated for a while, and finally said, "But uncle, what should Shen Yuzhu do?"

Luo Yi was startled, and turned to stare closely at Luo Wuxie.But the young man said: "My nephew is also a little worried. According to Ying Qi's few words, Shen Yuzhu was robbed. But Shen Yuzhu has no enemies in Jiangdu, so who will be against him? It must be Shen Yuzhu's The golden cicada's plan to escape the shell. Uncle, this person has been deeply humiliated, once he escapes, it will be a great threat to us, we must guard against it."

It was only then that Luo Yi realized that what his nephew was worried about was completely different from what he was worried about.Concerned about it, Luo Yi twisted a pair of dark eyebrows, and said slowly: "You mean, Shen Yuzhu's robbery was a bitter trick he directed and acted on his own? But if he wants to escape, why bother?" ? Why leave Yingqi alive, let us be alert?"

Luo Wuxie didn't know how to answer, so he forced himself to say: "This...the so-called truth is false, and falsehood is true. Maybe this is why he cast doubts and confuse people's eyes. People from Qingyan Mansion have always been scheming, so it's not allowed Common sense."

Luo Yi pondered and said: "What I care more about is, if this is Shen Yuzhu's intentional arrangement, then who is the person who meets him, and how did he get in touch with the other party?" Over the past two years, Shen Yuzhu's every move , all under his eyes and ears.unless--

Luo Yi frowned and thought carefully, and suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "...the fat of a swan goose is applied on the top of the head to grow hair..."

Luo Wuxie looked at his uncle's thick black hair inexplicably, then touched his own head, and asked in bewilderment, "Uncle, you...?"

A flash of light flashed in Luo Yi's mind, and he lost his voice and said, "'Swan geese are flying, let their feathers be respected*'——Fei Yu, this refers to Ping Feiyu!"

He was startled, and shouted: "Wu Shi, you send someone immediately to arrest the book dealer who sold the books that day!" After saying that, he turned around abruptly, and hurried forward.Luo Wuxie followed the order, but he didn't know why, but seeing Luo Yi's strange expression, he couldn't help but secretly startled.The two rushed to the ear room where Shen Yuzhu usually worked and rested. Luo Yi picked up the medical book that day, and turned to the "Hongyan" side, and saw that it read:

"Apply the fat of swan goose on the top of the head every day to grow hair. Take four qian of dodder and eight liang of astragalus, and grind them together for external application."

Luo Wuxie was still at a loss, but when Luo Yi stretched out his fingers to draw two lines on the two characters "four" and "eight", he couldn't help being enlightened, and said in surprise: "'Fei' is the fourth character in "Hongyan",' Yu' is the eighth character—this, this is no coincidence!"

Luo Yi turned from the beginning of the book, this medical book titled "Materia Medica Syndrome Classes" has a total of ten chapters.The first article is about the function of nature and taste of the root of Shuiludi: "Nine liang of Cangzhu, [-] liang of Cyperus cyperus, decocted together, can cure severe fever, madness and febrile diarrhea."——Shuiludi root is naturally "Jianjia" "One article, according to the gourd painting, took the ninth character and the cross; and then scrolled down, the third article was "privet".

Luo Wuxie frowned: "Ligustrum? There is no such chapter in the three hundred poems!"

Luo Yidao: "A woman's virtue is still chaste, and her speech is still quiet. This article is "Quiet Girl".

"Oh!" Luo Wuxie couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, after a closer look, he picked out the word "Bandit Ru".The two looked at each other, and translated the fourth and fifth chapters, but they found the words "door" and "person".

Luo Wuxie read the eight characters in order, and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Uncle, this—"

Luo Yi, on the other hand, had no time to be frightened. He flipped through the books intently, recited the Book of Songs silently, and translated the ciphertext hidden in the remaining prescriptions one by one. He wrote sixteen characters on the paper with a pen:

The so-called Feiyu is a bandit from Rumen.

When the rich son comes, the gentleman stays alive

"The so-called Iraqis are on the side of the water", from "Guofeng·Qinfeng·Jianjia"

"Swan geese are flying, and their feathers are respected", from "Xiaoya·Swan geese"

"The beauty of a bandit girl (you) is the beauty of a beauty", from "Guofeng · Beifeng · Jingnv"

The following texts are all scattered in other chapters of Shi Sanbai, and due to space limitations, I will not repeat them one by one.
