The driver was Chu Zhong. Aunt Guo and Jiang Yanyi were sitting in the carriage. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly whipped his whip and shouted: "Protect the young master and young lady!"

The speed of the horse pulling the cart has reached its limit, and it cannot be completely avoided when the carriage in the alley hits it.

Jiang Yanyi also broke out in a cold sweat, she reflexively pushed Chu Yangui towards Aunt Guo: "Auntie, go out with Yangui!"

The rushing carriage knocked all the stalls at the entrance of the alley into the air. If this inertia hits their carriage, the people in the carriage will be injured if not killed.

Chu Yangui's face was pale, he reached out to grab Jiang Yanyi's sleeve, but he couldn't, at that moment his eyes were full of pleading and fragility: "Sister!"

Before she had time to say a word, Aunt Guo jumped out of the carriage with Chu Yangui in her arms. She knew martial arts and rolled around on the ground twice to relieve Chu Yangui, but she still broke her arm.

Jiang Yanyi was in the carriage, because Chu Zhong tried hard to turn the horse's head and tried to avoid the carriage as much as possible, so that she only felt that the whole carriage was spinning. If she hadn't firmly grasped the crossbar at the window, she would have been almost killed. Just throw it out of the car.

Seeing that the carriage rushing out of the inclined alley was about to crash into it, the horse pulling the carriage was suddenly cut off with a knife, and the horse's head fell to the ground, blood gushing out, and the horse fell straight on the street. superior.

The carriage behind him dragged for a certain distance due to inertia, and stopped when it ran over the horse's corpse.

The driver of the car lost his center of gravity, leaned forward and fell, and fell into the blood of the horse, his face and body were in a state of embarrassment.

Click, click, click.

The tip of the horizontal knife in Feng Shuo's hand was still dripping with blood, his stern face and the ink robe embroidered with dark red panchi patterns were all splattered with a lot of blood, his eyes were more splattered than his hands The sharp killing intent on that knife.

After he noticed the abnormality, he immediately cut off the reins of his carriage and drove the horse to catch up to stop the assassination.

The coachman was obviously stunned, his legs trembled, his eyes looked at Feng Shuo in horror, he couldn't even stand up, and he backed away with both hands and feet.

Feng Shuo took a step forward, stabbing down hard with the horizontal knife in his hand, and hit the coachman's thigh. The coachman hugged his leg and screamed in pain, the veins on his neck were bulging.

Xing Yao rushed over with a few guards, Feng Shuo said coldly: "Take it back, torture to extract a confession."

The coachman was quickly tied up and dragged away.

Only then did Feng Shuo walk towards the carriage where Jiang Yanyi was. When he opened the curtain, he saw that Jiang Yanyi was still holding onto the crossbar of the window tightly with both hands, his face turned pale, obviously he hadn't recovered from the shock Come on.

He felt as if his heart had been stabbed by something, and he tried to ease his tone and said, "It's all right."

Jiang Yanyi nodded, her hands and feet were still a little weak, and when she saw Feng Shuo reaching out to her, she passed it over.

When she got up, she staggered and just threw herself into Feng Shuo's arms.

Feng Shuo firmly pressed Jiang Yanyi's back, and repeated that sentence in a gentle tone: "It's okay."

I don't know if he is talking to Jiang Yanyi or to himself.

Jiang Yanyi also regained her strength. Her stagger just now was purely due to her normal weak legs after sitting in the carriage for a long time and the road was bumpy.

Feng Shuo has always been a person who is happy in front of outsiders, but at this moment she can clearly feel his panic.

Jiang Yanyi only felt that her heart was soft in a mess, and she returned him: "I'm fine."

Feng Shuo still didn't let go, and directly hugged her from the car.

Aunt Guo folded her arm and couldn't help Chu Yangui, so two guards from Fengfu brought him over.

The wound on his leg is healed, but the bones inside have not grown well. He has never stood up on weekdays. When he stood up for the first time, his knee hurt like a needle prick. After walking a few steps, his forehead was covered with cloth. Full of fine sweat.

"Sister..." Seeing Feng Shuo holding Jiang Yanyi, Chu Yangui thought she was injured, and his eyes were extremely painful.

Chu Zhong knew that Chu Yangui's leg was injured and he couldn't stand up, so he hurriedly took out the wheelchair from the carriage and let him sit on it.

Jiang Yanyi was embarrassed to be intimate with Feng Shuo in front of his younger brother, and squeezed Feng Shuo's stiff arm, motioning for him to let him go down, but Feng Shuo turned a blind eye, and only said to Chu Yangui: "She is not injured."

Jiang Yanyi hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then asked Chu Yangui, "Are you hurt?"

His complexion was so bad that he didn't look like he was uninjured.

Chu Yangui shook his head: "I'm fine, but Aunt Guo broke her arm to protect me."

Ruyilou couldn't go, so the group went back to the mansion, because there was a ready-made doctor in the mansion, Jiang Yanyi didn't sweat the cold sweat on his forehead when he watched Chu Yangui in the carriage, and worried that he was forced to stand up At that time, she hurt her bone again, and Aunt Guo needed to see a doctor for her hand, so they went to Fengfu together.

The doctor of Fengfu first set Aunt Guo's bone, and then treated Chu Yangui's injury.

The doctor asked Chu Yangui to lift up his trouser legs, Fengfu has earth dragons to keep him warm, so he doesn't worry about the cold.

Seeing that Jiang Yanyi didn't intend to avoid suspicion, the doctor didn't say anything because he thought they were siblings, but Chu Yangui seemed a little embarrassed: "Sister, go outside and wait for me."

Men and women are not at the same table at the age of seven, even their own brothers and sisters, and they need to be taboo on weekdays. Chu Zhong has been changing the "medicine" for the wound on Chu Yangui's leg. Except for the time when his wound festered, Jiang Yanyi had never seen it on his leg. injury.

She still trusted Jiang Yanyi, the doctor of the Fengfu, seeing that Chu Yangui was very reluctant to have her in the room, she got up and said, "I'm just outside, just call me if you need anything."

Chu Yangui nodded, and Chu Zhong also said, "Miss, don't worry, I watched from inside."

Jiang Yanyi just left the room.

Feng Shuo went to interrogate the coachman himself, she looked at the gray sky and the heavy snow falling to the world like goose feathers under the eaves, feeling a little lost.

There must be a mastermind behind this accident, but I don't know if it is the emperor or who.

in the room.

After Chu Yangui lifted up his trouser legs, the doctor in Fengfu knew why he let Jiang Yanyi go out.

The wound is healed, but the knee is full of hideous scars, just looking at it makes me feel sick.Moreover, his calf showed signs of muscle atrophy, which was completely out of proportion to his thigh.

The doctor pressed Chu Yangui's area below his knee and asked him, "Does it hurt?"

Chu Yangui shook his head, his eyes darkened.

He had discovered earlier that he was almost unconscious below his calves, and knew that he would undoubtedly be a useless person in this life. He was afraid that Jiang Yanyi would be sad, so he kept telling Jiang Yanyi about his unconsciousness in his legs.

It's just that the two calves have become significantly smaller due to muscle atrophy, and he feels disgusted looking at it.

The doctor took a silver needle and stuck it there, and Chu Yangui's leg twitched uncontrollably. The doctor continued to ask, "What about now?"

Chu Yan replied: "It hurts a little."

The doctor nodded, and when he pressed the acupoint on the inner upper side of his knee, before he could ask, Chu Yangui groaned: "It hurts."

The doctor's expression was serious, and he pulled out the silver needle below his knee: "Many tendons in Xiao Langjun's legs have been necrotic, but he has not completely lost consciousness. The muscles and bones have been injured for a hundred days, and the bones have grown longer. Well, don't put any more effort on your front legs, as for walking like a normal person, I'm afraid there will be no hope in this life..."

Chu Yangui interrupted the doctor: "Just tell me if these two useless legs will kill me or not."

The doctor said: "This is not possible."

After getting this answer, Chu Yangui hooked the corners of his lips as if he didn't care: "That's enough."

Seeing him like this, Chu Zhong felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he turned his eyes away.

The doctor prescribed a prescription and then withdrew to decoct the "medicine", saying that after taking the "medicine" for Chu Yangui, he then treated his calf with acupuncture and moxibustion, which could relieve muscle atrophy to a certain extent.

There was no one else in the room, so Chu Yangui said to Chu Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, don't tell Sister."

Chu Zhong really felt sorry for the two children, he said: "It's not a good idea to keep it a secret, the young lady will find out one day."

Chu Yangui said: "Sister is already bothered enough about Ruyi Building and Noodle Shop, I don't want to add more troubles to Sister. Besides, my useless legs, the doctor can't do anything, what can Sister do?" Way?"

Knowing that what Chu Yangui said was reasonable, Chu Zhong finally complied, squatting down to help him put down his trousers.

Chu Yangui held the armrest of the chair tightly, his eyes full of paranoia and hostility: "I will avenge my mother's vengeance. I will not let anyone who harmed my sister be spared. Before those people die clean , I will live well.”

If he hadn't been going out today, he wouldn't have encountered this assassination.

Chu Yangui hated himself, and even more hated those maggots hiding in the gutter, always ready to harm others!

***

The sky was cloudy, and the dungeon of the Fengfu was even darker, only the scarlet flames spewed from the brazier.

Several pieces of iron had been burned red in the brazier. The coachman was tied to the rack with his head turned to one side, and his body was covered with scars from the whipping.

"Master, I've passed out." Xing Yao said to Feng Shuo after going up to check.

Feng Shuo looked cold, he made a gesture, and immediately a jailer poured a bucket of cold water with ice slag on the coachman.

"My lord, ask me one last time, who ordered you?" Feng Shuo's tone was a little colder than the snow in this severe winter.

The coachman looked weak, but his mouth was tight. Most of his life was gone, but he still didn't let go: "No one ordered me, I'm a little frightened horse..."

Seeing that Feng Shuo's face became more and more gloomy, Xing Yao couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat. He said, "Master, this man is begging for death, and he can no longer be tortured. This subordinate will come to interrogate him tomorrow..."

The corner of Feng Shuo's mouth smiled coldly: "Feng Shiyan's dog is really loyal. If you dare to hurt the finger of my princess for Jiang Yanxi, I will chop off Jiang Yanxi's entire hand!"

When the coachman heard the word "Jiang Yanxi", his eyelids finally moved, and there was a sneering look on his face: "A bunch of rebellious officials and thieves who plot to usurp the throne are also worthy of mentioning the princess."

Feng Shuo's eyes changed slightly. He had heard Jiang Yanyi talk about the plot of the original book, and knew that Jiang Yanxi was the former princess.

Today's Xuan Dynasty is "chaotic" enough, and he doesn't want people from the previous dynasty to get involved to further muddy the water, not to mention that Jiang Shangshu is now in the hands of the emperor Feng Shiyan, without proof of Jiang Shangshu, Jiang Yan regrets not He would definitely believe that she was the princess of the former dynasty, and she was only expected to poison the emperor Feng Shiyan. With Feng Shiyan's suspicion, the chance of Jiang Yan's success in poisoning was pitifully small.

It is the best choice to keep people in your hands and use them to contain Feng Shiyan.

The coachman dragged until now, and suddenly revealed Jiang Yanxi's identity as the former princess, obviously no longer worried about Jiang Yanxi's safety.

Feng Shuo thought about something in an instant, and told Xing Yao with cold eyes: "Lead the troops to Pipa Lane immediately!"

Apart from the big prison on the Fuya side in Xizhou, only the dungeon in the Duhufu can detain people.

The empress dowager was at the mansion, Feng Shuo didn't dare to take the risk of locking someone in the dungeon of the mansion, for fear that the other party would jump over the wall and kidnap the empress dowager.

After someone tried to rob the prison earlier, Feng Shuo changed places to detain Jiang Yanxi.

The other party has been lurking for so long, obviously to find out where Jiang Yanxi is being held, and the assassination arranged today is simply a way to divert the tiger away from the mountain!

Hearing Feng Shuo's order, Xing Yao quickly turned around and walked out, but before he could get out of the dungeon, soldiers rushed out: "Master, Pipa Lane was attacked! The prisoner was taken away!"

The coachman who was tied to the rack laughed strangely: "When the princess returns to Daqi, all you "rebellious" officials and thieves will die without a place to bury you."

There was no anger on Feng Shuo's face, he rubbed the rim of the teacup with his fingertips, and snorted softly: "There are less than [-] people from the former court, and there may be some street rats hiding their heads and showing their tails." A way to survive, to restore Daqi? It's a dream."

Knowing that there was an old ministry outside the pass, Feng Shuo would not take the initiative to provoke them, but just in case, he sent someone to investigate early in the morning to know the approximate number of people.

Hearing that Feng Shuo was able to tell the number of people in the old court, the coachman's expression changed from contempt to panic: "You...how did you know?"

Feng Shuo didn't answer his words, got up and left the dungeon, Xing Yao followed behind him and asked: "Master, what should I do with this person?"

Feng Shuo thought of the scene where he drove towards Jiang Yanyi in a carriage, his eyes filled with an infinite chill: "Sentence of cracking the carriage."

Even Xing Yao, whose hands were already stained with the blood of countless people, could not help but shudder when he heard such punishment.

***

At this time, outside Duhufu Street, a female travel doctor dressed as an ordinary woman looked at Fengfu, with a bit of pity in her eyes: "Guardian Yu go well."

The coachman used to be the imperial guard of the previous dynasty.

Relying on her excellent medical skills, the female traveling doctor has been lurking in Xizhou City for more than a month. Therefore, after Feng Shuo changed places to detain Jiang Yanxi, she quickly determined the location.

"Aunt Fang, the whole city of Xizhou will be searched again soon, the princess has been rescued, let's go back to the inn first." The man following the female doctor said in a low voice.

The female traveling doctor sighed: "I don't know if Xiao Wu got the treasure map of the imperial tomb from the bodyguard's daughter, that old fox of Marquis Xing'an can't see the treasure map, so he won't protect us all the time."

The man said: "It would be great if Aunt Fangqing was still here, she will always have a way to protect us."

Hearing this name, the female traveling doctor looked at the high walls of the Feng mansion, her eyes couldn't tell whether it was resentment or sadness: "I was selected into the palace as a palace maid back then, she was only five years old, and was later sold to the Feng family as a servant girl. Crazy concubine. When the old thief Feng Zuona rebelled, thanks to her getting the news and reporting to me in advance, the princess was able to be replaced from the palace. I thought I would see her again in this life, but she died in the hands of the King of Liaonan... ..."

Fang Qing, the eldest maid next to the Empress Dowager, her real name is Fang Qing, and she is her younger sister.

The female traveling doctor was once a court lady next to Empress Li in the former dynasty, and Empress Li was the successor of Emperor Qi, the subjugated emperor of the former dynasty.

The founding emperor of the Xuan Dynasty was appointed Zuo, that is, the first emperor. He was still the general of the previous dynasty when he did not rebel. His wife died not because of dystocia, but because of her outstanding appearance, she was favored by Emperor Qi. When he went out to fight, he was forced into the palace.

For the sake of face, Feng Zuo announced to the outside world that his wife had dystocia and left.

Feng Zuo endured the humiliation for more than ten years, and worked hard to rebel, but the news got out, and Emperor Qi sent someone to assassinate his only son.

In the same year, Feng Zuo's daughter-in-law, who is now the queen mother, gave birth to Feng Zuo's grandson, the current emperor Feng Shiyan.Feng Zuo's wife chose to commit suicide after learning that her son had been assassinated.

After Fa's wife died, Feng Zuo became more determined to destroy Da Qi, and later met Feng Shuo's concubine who looked exactly like his Fa's wife, but was younger and more beautiful. not dead.

Fang Qing began to take care of Feng Shuo's mother and concubine from then on.

Emperor Qi was fatuous and innocent, and died of illness shortly after Yuan Empress, because the folks had been rumoring that he was sensual, and in order to silence the world, Emperor Qi married Empress Li, who was [-] years younger than him, as his successor. .

Empress Li's appearance is plain, and she really does not have the appearance of "confusing" the emperor.She was originally childhood sweethearts with Jiang Shangshu, but the family status of the two families was very different. At that time, the Jiang family had long since declined, and the Li family did not allow their daughter to marry. Later, they sent their daughter to the palace for the sake of great wealth.

Jiang Shangshu, who was still white at that time, was also in charge of his family and married the fourth daughter of the Chu family.

The year Empress Li gave birth to Jiang Yanxi, Feng Zuo turned against her.

On the night when Jiang Yanxi was replaced, an imperial physician entered the palace to see Empress Li. In the imperial physician's medicine box, there was a baby who was going to die instead of Jiang Yanxi, and Jiang Yanxi was put in the medicine box by the imperial physician. ‌Take it out of the palace.

Empress Li asked the imperial physician to find a good family for her daughter to adopt. The imperial physician died after leaving the palace. The old court had been looking for Jiang Yanxi for many years, but she never expected that it was Jiang Shangshu who took the child back secretly at the risk of beheading.

The female traveling doctor closed her eyes and stopped thinking about those absurd past events.

The man thought she was sad about Fang Qing's death, and said, "Auntie, don't be sad. Maybe Aunt Fangqing has been giving medicine to the mad concubine, and the king of Liaonan noticed it. When the princess returns to the country, kill the king of Liaonan and give her a hand. Aunt Fangqing's revenge is for you!"

If it weren't for drug control, the crazy concubine would not have been crazy for so many years.

The female tour doctor looked calm: "The medicine I prescribed will not be noticed by others. After taking the medicine, the crazy concubine only recognizes that girl. It is because her position has stabilized, her wings have become stronger, and her thoughts have become more... ..."

After the old Ministry of the previous dynasty escaped from the customs, it was not that they did nothing.

In the early years, after the empress dowager went crazy, she occasionally regained her sanity. They wanted to disintegrate the Daxuan Dynasty from within and make the Daxuan fight among themselves. A son who was full of hatred for the former emperor would be the best weapon.

So they gave "drugs" to keep the Great Empress Dowager going crazy, Fang Qing fanned the flames again, the late Emperor himself was nothing, Feng Shuo did not let them down, and successfully grew into a feudal lord who could threaten the emperor.

After the Grand Concubine came out of the palace, the Grand Concubine's move was actually abolished. After all, it was no longer possible to use the Grand Concubine to provoke Feng Shuo and the emperor's conflicts.

The female traveling doctor once sent a letter telling Fang Qing not to follow the empress dowager, saying that the empress dowager would obey her when she took the mad drug, as long as Fang Qing thought about it, it would not be difficult to leave.

But Fang Qing refused, at first she thought it was because Fang Qing had been serving the Empress Dowager for so many years and had developed feelings for her, but later she heard that the Empress Dowager had been going crazy, so she realized that Fang Qing had not stopped giving the Empress Dowager the "medicine" , she followed the empress dowager, obviously she had other plans.

When the female travel doctor was thinking about this, the gate of the Fengfu opened, and a large number of armored guards quickly poured into the street. The man who followed the female travel doctor obviously dodged, and panicked: "Auntie, what should I do?"

The female tourist doctor took him back with a calm face, and only whispered to the man: "Don't write your thoughts on your face."

The man nodded, but still couldn't help but secretly looked at the army.

Xing Yao personally led the troops to go to Pipa Lane. Seeing that man kept looking at them from the corner of his eye, with suspicious eyes, he immediately shouted: "Stop."

The man froze instantly.
