Chapter 38 Plea for Guilt
Zuo Lan was healed by good doctors, and he had the best medicinal materials to use, so he woke up at dawn, but his body was so weak that he couldn't do it, his face was as pale as paper, and he couldn't even get out of bed. Seeing that one of his arms was gone, tears suddenly welled up, and his mood couldn't be calmed down for a long time.
After he slowly accepted the reality, he called Meng Degang over and asked what happened.
Meng Degang recounted in detail what happened after he fell unconscious.
Although Zuo Lan didn't experience it, he could still feel his father's thunderous anger, and he was so frightened that his heart was so entangled that he even forgot about the pain, and hurriedly said, "Where is my father now?"
Meng Degang said: "At the gate of Qingliang City, I have been standing all night. ”
Zuo Lan hesitated: "What are you doing standing there? It's not the season to enjoy the coolness!"
Meng Degang shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
Zuo Lan said: "Take me over quickly." ”
Meng Degang said: "You are weak now, let's recuperate for a few days!"
Zuo Lan said: "Only now take advantage of my weak body to ask for sin, my father takes pity on me, maybe I can suffer less sin, otherwise when I recover from my injuries, I will definitely be disabled again." ”
Meng Degang didn't stop him anymore, so he carried him down the mountain.
When he arrived at the city gate, Zuo Jingtian was still standing there with his hands behind his back, although after a night, the anger on his face not only did not diminish in the slightest, but became thicker.
Zuo Lan shuddered, and hurriedly asked Meng Degang to let him down, supported by Meng Degang, walked over tremblingly, and whispered: "Dad-" The voice was so low that he couldn't hear it.
Zuo Jingtian snorted coldly, he didn't pity him because he was injured at all, he raised his hand to slap him, and when he heard the "pop", Zuo Lan flew out, and when he fell to the ground, his injured arm touched the ground again, and he howled like a pig in pain.
Meng Degang was a little frightened when he watched from the side.
Zuo Jingtian snorted coldly again and said, "You still have the face to see me?"
Zuo Lan was so painful that he broke out in a cold sweat, he thought that he was going to be unconscious again this time, and it was okay to be unconscious, so he didn't need to be tortured anymore, but after howling for a while, he was still alive and well, so he didn't dare to howl anymore, and knelt on the ground and cried: "Dad, I really didn't mean it, I just blame that Qingliang Hou for being too cunning." ”
Zuo Jingtian said: "Why don't you blame yourself for being useless?"
Of course, Zuo Lan didn't think he was useless, but he didn't dare to argue, and lowered his head and said, "Please punish Daddy!"
Zuo Jingtian couldn't help it, his fingers trembled a little, and he pointed at him and said, "You just keep kneeling!"
Zuo Lan didn't dare to disobey, and when he answered, he honestly lowered his head, regretting that his intestines were green, he could lie quietly at home to recuperate, but he wanted to run over and beg for hardship, and he really wouldn't die if he didn't do it.
When the sun rose and the city gates were wide open, there were many people who came and went, and when they saw a person kneeling at the city gate, they were all curious and gathered around.
Although Zuo Jingtian is the lord of the city, most of the people don't know each other, although Zuo Lan is familiar in Qingliang City, but now he is unrecognizable, and he has a broken arm, no one can recognize it, so he is not afraid, and he dares to turn his head and point at him.
If it were normal times, Zuo Lanfei would have arrested all these people and whipped them in turn with a small leather whip, but now he didn't even dare to come out, he was ashamed, and he couldn't wait to find a way to get in.
Fortunately, Meng Degang had a look, and without waiting for the city lord to speak, he dispersed these people, but the flow of people continued, driving away batch after batch, and it was not good to bring out the identity of the city lord to scare them, so he simply let people close the gate and let the people enter and exit through other city gates.
It was not until after noon that I saw three horses galloping in the distance.
Jiang Xiaobai was quite surprised to see the city gate closed from afar, so he reined in his horse and walked slowly, and when he saw Zuo Jingtian standing at the gate of the city, he couldn't help but sneer, and said closely: "Zuo City Lord, is it possible that you are also here to intercept and kill Ben Hou?"
Zuo Jingtian hurriedly put on a smiling face and arched his hand: "Little Hou Ye is punishing my heart! Even if you borrow a hundred guts from me, I don't dare to offend Hou Ye!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You are not as bold as your son at this point!"
Zuo Jingtian knew that he was mocking him, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful, so he said: "It's a shame to say! I can't raise him, my father's fault, and I have no way to teach my son, so that the son of a sinister son is bold and reckless, and he dares to offend Hou Ye behind my back, which is simply a great disapproval of the world." Although Hou Ye was kind-hearted and spared his life, he blamed himself for it, so he brought the son over and handed him over to Hou Ye, who killed him alive, and he was also to blame. ”
Zuo Lan's face became more and more pale with fright, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "Hou Ye spares his life, I won't dare next time!" was so angry that he scolded his mother, to be exact, he should have scolded his father, he had already begged for mercy once, and besides, people had already spared his life, why did he come to beg others to spare his life now? What is this? Is it his life begging for mercy?
Jiang Xiaobai didn't even look at him, and said to Zuo Jingtian: "The Zuo City Lord does have some godsons who have no way, but Ben Hou has already taught him on behalf of the Zuo City Supervisor." Ben Hou is not a stingy person, this matter has been revealed, as long as he keeps to himself in the future, Ben Hou will never embarrass him. ”
Zuo Jingtian's face was happy, and he arched his hand and said: "Hou Ye is magnanimous and admires him very much. He turned his head to look at Zuo Lan and shouted, "Don't you thank Master Hou for sparing your dog's life?"
Zuo Lan hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the grace of not killing!"
Jiang Xiaobai turned a deaf ear, still looked at Zuo Jingtian, and said, "Zuo City Lord, can you open the city gate now?"
Zuo Jingtian hurriedly said: "Don't blame Hou Ye, closing the city gate under Xia is not to block Hou Ye, but there are many people, I'm afraid of disturbing Hou Ye!" turned his head to Meng Degang and said, "Don't you open the door for Hou Ye?"
Meng De just replied and retreated.
Zuo Jingtian took another step forward and arched his hand towards Zhao Rucang and Zhu Qiluo: "In the lower Zuo Jingtian, I have seen two adults. ”
The two of them were expressionless. Zhu Qiluo said: "Adults don't dare to be, we are just small characters who run errands." ”
Zuo Jingtian smiled: "My lord is humble. I have prepared a thin wine in Qiuxiang Building, and washed the dust for the Lord and the two adults, and asked the Lord and the two adults to appreciate their faces. ”
Zhu Qiluo said: "You will be free from the wind and dust." Our mission has been accomplished, and we have to return to the temple to restore our lives. Since the city lord of Qingliang City is here, it also saves us from entering the city, and the safety of Qingliang Hou will be handed over to you in the future. ”
Zuo Jingtian heard that they were going back to the palace to resume their lives, his mind turned thousands of times in an instant, and he suddenly realized, it turned out that these two people were sent by the hall master! It seems that Xiao Hou Ye did not go to the palace, but went to the letter hall, and then looked at Fengyu did not come back together, thinking that it was the Lengyan Palace that was recruiting disciples during this time, his heart suddenly understood, but he was still uneasy in his heart, since the hall master was concerned about the safety of Qing Liang Hou, and specially sent someone to escort him, then Zuo Lan Xing's assassination of Qing Liang Hou was transmitted back to the ears of the hall master, would he be guilty? Don't worry, when you enter Qingliang City, I will definitely send someone to protect me, and there will never be a trace of mistakes. ”
Zhu Qiluo said: "This is very good, but we still have something to ask the city lord to do for convenience!"
When Zuo Jingtian heard that they had a request for himself, he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My lord, even if you open your mouth, you will definitely do your best." ”
Zhu Qiluo said: "We want to borrow two dragon horses from the city lord. After all, these two mortal horses have limited physical strength, and if they do not recuperate, I am afraid that they will not be able to return to the temple of faith. ”
Jiang Xiaobai glanced at them, and 10,000 grass and mud horses roared past in his heart.
Zuo Jingtian said: "This is easy to say, two adults, please come with me." ”
At this time, the city gate was opened, and Jiang Xiaobai saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he said perfunctory words to Zhu Qiluo and Zhao Rucang and entered the city.
Zuo Jingtian led Zhu Qiluo and the two to the palace outside the city.
When he arrived at the stable, Zuo Jingtian saw that there was no one around, so he took out two brocade boxes from his arms, handed them to the two of them respectively, and said with a smile: "A little courtesy, not a respect, please also ask the two adults to laugh." ”
The two opened the brocade box and saw that it was a guide bead, a box of five grains. For the monks, the Dao bead is the most desired thing, although it is not much, but it is also Zuo Jingtian has saved from between his teeth for so many years, and when he sends it out, his heart is dripping blood.
The two glanced at each other, and Zhu Qiluo said, "Zuo City Lord, what does this mean?"
Zuo Jingtian's face was embarrassed, and he said: "The dog is young and ignorant, and he has offended the waiting master, and I ask the two adults to raise their noble hands and let the dog go!"
He didn't care about Zuo Lan's safety, but about his own future and safety.
The two glanced at each other again, slowly put the brocade box into his arms, and Zhu Qiluo said: "Don't worry, Zuo City Lord, we haven't seen anything happening on the road." ”
Zuo Jingtian took a deep look and said happily: "Thank you two adults for your kindness!"
Zhao Rucang, who had not spoken, added another sentence at this time: "The city lord of Zuo can rest assured, although the hall lord sent us to escort Qing Liang Hou back, but it was also a last resort, in the heart of the hall master, the life and death of Qing Liang Hou is insignificant at all." ”
Zhu Qiluo glared at him, blaming him for talking too much, although he only said one sentence.
Zhao Rucang still looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and his face is indifferent.
Although Zuo Jingtian heard that there must be something greasy in it, after all, he hadn't seen what happened in the Xindian, so he secretly pondered for a long time, but he was still in the clouds, so he said: "Lord Xie for guidance." ”
The two didn't say anything more, each led a dragon horse, turned around and left.
