Chapter Twenty-Six: Among the Beauties

I want to know you and live a long life. ------ Han Yuefu "The Evil"

It is said that Chen Long's enemy is no match for Zhang Ning, so for the sake of Peach Blossom's injury, he had to acquiesce to Zhang Ning to follow. With this big * sitting beside him, Chen Long drove back to Huanggai Mansion with trepidation, and Zhang Ning got into the carriage to untie the two unconscious people, and sat beside Peach Blossom with a big grin. Passing by the ambush site set up in advance along the road, and at a glance glimpsed Zhou Budo probing his brain there, Chen Long quickly raised his finger and made a silent gesture, waving his hand to let them retreat quickly.

The lights in the Huang Mansion were bright late at night, and Huang An and Wang were restlessly waiting for Huang Gai and Peach Blossom to return, when they heard the carriage entering the compound, they all got up and came out to greet them. Chen Long was putting the yellow cover like a dead pig under the car, Huang An hurriedly commanded his helpers to carry it over, Chen Long was afraid that they would be in a hurry, and said: "It's okay to go over, I'll wake up when the medicine is over." Then Huang An asked his subordinates to carry Huang Gai straight back to the bedroom, and Wang hurriedly followed. Chen Long took the peach blossom out again and put it on his back, Huang An saw that the peach blossom was fine, and was about to inquire about the details, when he suddenly saw a big change in the carriage, and another person came out.

This little girl didn't know where to conjure up a gauze hat, covering up a dark cloud, with a heavy veil on her face, which looked weird, and she couldn't see her eyebrows clearly in the night. Chen Long remembered Zhang Ning's preset identity, and thought that it was quite suitable among the girls, and said to Huang An, who was speechless: "This is one of the girls I specially invited to treat Peach Blossom's poisonous wounds, named Mei Niang." As he spoke, he carried the peach blossom on his back and went straight to his bedroom. Zhang Ning snorted lightly, Huang An saw Ambassador Chen Long's eyes, and knew that it was not appropriate to ask more questions now, so he hurriedly greeted Mei Niang warmly, Zhang Ning ignored it and followed Chen Long directly. Huang An remembered that he had to arrange a bedroom for the girl, hurriedly beckoned the maids to prepare the bedding, and went to Huang Gai's side to change the Wang family, and the Wang family hurried to the peach blossom side.

Not to mention the chaos in the Huang Mansion, it is just said that Chen Long returned to the bedroom with the peach blossom on his back and put it on the couch, the peach blossom was still in a coma, and he didn't know what the toxicity in his body was. Behind him, Zhang Ning followed up in a big way, Chen Long grabbed it, raised his eyebrows and said, "You hurry up and show the peach blossoms, don't play tricks anymore." Zhang Ning shook off Chen Long's big hand and said unhurriedly: "The toxicity has to be removed slowly, and you can't rush it." If you play tricks on me, I won't be able to cure it well. The angry Chen Long smoked, but he was helpless.

Outside the door, Wang's voice came one after another: "Daughter, how are you... Chen Long hurriedly welcomed his mother-in-law in, Wang saw Peach Blossom in a coma on the bed, walked to the couch and took Peach Blossom's hand, tears immediately filled his eyes, and he said distressedly: "Peach Blossom, your sin is great, how is this good... Chen Long was depressed in his heart, he couldn't hear the old woman's mother-in-law crying, and glanced at Zhang Ning, which meant that it was all your fault. Hurriedly comforted Wang and said: "Mother-in-law, Peach Blossom is fine, just wake up, don't you see I also invited a girl to treat Peach Blossom's poisonous injuries." ”

Only then did Wang notice Zhang Ning next to him, stopped his sorrowful voice, and took Zhang Ning's hand and said: "Lang Zhong, you must give us peach blossoms to treat her injuries well, the poison in her has not been a day or two, it has not been good, why did you say that the assassin killed that day was so damaged, what did you do with such a poisonous needle, I really want to cut him with a thousand knives... If my daughter has three long and two short, then she won't let people live... Then he began to cry again. Zhang Ning saw that Chen Long was puffing up on the side, deliberately took Wang's hand, and said affectionately: "Auntie, our family is an ancestral secret recipe, specializing in treating all kinds of strange poisons, whether it is a poisonous snake bite, a poisonous insect sting, or a poisonous bee sting, it is all medicine to eliminate the disease, and it is famous in our area!" Otherwise, Brother Chen wouldn't have invited me! Isn't it, Brother Chen? He looked at Long Chen with a smile.

Chen Long muttered: "Your family only allows poisonous snakes to bite, poisonous insects to bite, and poisonous bees to sting." Wang heard Chen Long muttering, raised his hand and slapped Chen Long and said, "Son-in-law, you must not bully Lang Zhong, otherwise I will turn around and let Peach Blossom clean you up." Lang Zhong, I don't know what you call it? "The affection is beyond words.

Zhang Ning took off her veil and said with a smile: "Little girl, don't worry, big brother, Brother Chen is good to me." By the way, auntie, in order to take care of Peach Blossom, I have to eat and sleep with Peach Blossom these days, and observe her situation from time to time, it should be no problem, right? When Chen Long heard this, he just glared at the bull's eye to object, and Wang couldn't wait to say: "No problem, no problem, Mei Niang, as long as you cure my daughter and live here for the rest of your life, you can open the consultation fee casually, and you will definitely not be able to treat you badly, hehe." ”

Zhang Ning's trick succeeded again, and he turned around and grimaced at the speechless Chen Long, obviously in a good mood, and his expression clearly said, you don't want to drive me away so easily. Wang praised Mei Niang's beauty and gentleness a few more words, and the more the two talked, the more affectionate they became, no less than the mother and daughter who were close in life.

Chen Long was angry, and slandered Wang's praise for her gentle belly, her beauty was real, but she was a beautiful snake. Chen Long was poking there like a light bulb, and then the maid came up to report, saying that the bed had been prepared in the ear room next to him, and Wang hurriedly asked Chen Long to go to rest, and he and Mei Niang were watching it.

Chen Long puffed up his anger and returned to the room, thinking of Zhou Budo, thinking that this kid should send someone to inform Liu Xian, tonight in Lingling City still don't know how to toss. With Zhang Ning by his side, it is really inconvenient to do anything, and the promise that he said that he would disappear is also a confused account, so he can only do it and look at it. Thinking of Huang Gai's side, he hurriedly got up and drove straight to Huang Gai's bedroom.

Huang Gai was unconscious, sleeping under the quilt, Huang An sat on the side and fidgeted, obviously waiting for Chen Long to come over. Chen Long told him about the process of exchanging hostages tonight, and only concealed the identity of Mei Niang. Huang An twisted his beard and said: "Wenlong, you can be relieved, I have already sent someone to Liu Xiangongzi to inquire about the situation, and now that Huang Gai and Peach Blossom have returned safely, you should also go and rest." ”

Where is Chen Long willing to rest, thinking about the situation of coming to Lingling these days, his heart seems to be a mess, he ordered tea with Huang An, and chatted in Huang Gai's living room. Chen Long remembered his original intention of coming to the Three Kingdoms period, and couldn't help asking, "Father-in-law, how about Liu Du's official reputation?" Whose orders are you listening to now? ”

Huang An sighed: "Nominally, Lingling belongs to the jurisdiction of Jingzhou, and the history of Jingzhou is Wang Rong, but the counties under the rule of Jingzhou, such as Han Xuan, Zhao Fan, Liu Du, Jin Xuan, and Huang Zu, are all self-respecting and self-respecting, and they are each in their own way. As for Taishou Liu Du," Huang An hesitated when he said this, obviously thinking about how to phrase it: "Wenlong, you have also seen that this person is biased in listening and believing, and he is also a person with a narrow temperament, and he is lazy and lazy, has no ambitions, and entertains himself with wine every day. After saying that, he shook his head and sighed.

Chen Long said: "The words of the righteous father, Wenlong has been taught. The public is a civil and military all-rounder, and he is only a county official under this person, and he is indeed buried in talents. However, the world is so big, who does the righteous father think can be called a hero? ”

Huang An said: "I am lonely and unheard, I dare not comment, I only heard that along the river, there is Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, both civil and military, the world is called a tiger, and the public often talks about his good name, and from time to time reveals his intentions. ”

When Chen Long heard this, he nodded silently, this Huang Gai is Sun Jian's henchman in history, and he assisted Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan's family for three generations, I don't know if I will change this history?

After chatting a few more words, suddenly the people at the door shouted that the horse was neighing, and the subordinates came in to report that it was Liu Xian who came in person, followed by Zhou Budo. As soon as they met, Liu Xian pulled Chen Long and said, "Thanks to the big brother's clever plan, Xing Daorong's mansion has been confiscated, but unfortunately Xing Daorong escaped without a trace." My father has already been reported by Liu Bayu, and has learned the fact that Xing Daorong is a yellow scarf, and has acquitted Liu Xian, and several of Xing Daorong's cronies of the Internal Guard Army have been arrested, and now they are temporarily under the command of General Liu Xian, and they are all safe and sound. Only General Liu Min and Yang Huai did not know where to go. Chen Long briefly explained the process of exchanging hostages, and seeing that Liu Xian was worried about Liu Min's safety, he said: "General Liu Min should be Xing Daorong who has taken him away, but Xing Daorong doesn't know that he has surrendered to me, so he should be fine." Liu Xian listened to Fang Jue's peace of mind.

Chen Long said again: "Liu Gongzi, when Xing Daorong returns to the Yellow Turban camp, he will definitely provoke Sun Xia to attack the city, you can go and prepare quickly." Liu Xian was shocked when he heard this, his face showed worry, and asked, "What about you, big brother?" ”

Chen Long knew that Liu Xian was worried that he would not help him, so he left, and hurriedly said: "There is no doubt that Zhou is not suspicious, although the second brother will quickly arrange the city defense, I am seriously ill because of Peach Blossom, Huang Gai has not woken up, and I am only here at any time to listen to the second brother's call." Liu Xian heard the words and went. Chen Long felt a little sorry for this second brother, but the lord of Lingling was Liu Du, not Liu Xian, Zhang Ning* was still by his side, and he really couldn't leave at this time. Suddenly I had a headache again, should I fulfill my promise to Zhang Ning to leave with his family immediately?

After Liu Xian left, Chen Long finally had time to go back to the ear room and sleep for a while. However, as soon as the sky was brightened, suddenly the drums of war outside the city were heard, and the sound of trumpets resounded through the sky.
