Xie Family Annex. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The guest room of the Xie family is more luxurious than the main room of many ordinary rich and noble families, not how to be splendid, but every place is extremely ingenious, the whole set of tables and chairs of fragrant sandalwood, on the table is the furnace bottle of the Great Chu official kiln, which is burned with the agarwood incense cake made during the period of Da Zheng Shenzong, and there are also hanging pictures of recreation and candle night tours next to it, which are all authentic works of the previous dynasty.

There is another bookshelf next to it, on which there are many books, not limited to Confucianism, but also three religions and hundreds of schools, and there is even a lack of rare books. On both sides of the bookshelf is a pair of huge Ru kiln vases, and a little farther away on the small leaf red sandalwood table table is a very rare Western table clock, inlaid with gold and jade, extremely exquisite.

The ground is covered with a carpet of the Western Regions, the foothold is silent, and the outside is a gold-painted eight ladies screen, eight fans and eight women, each is different, obviously it is also from the hands of famous artists, only the guest room can be so, the main hall of the main house is even more unimaginable, the so-called wealthy family, but so.

At this time, Xu Beiyou was lying on the carved bed, his face was pale and colorless, unconscious.

On the edge of the bed sat Her Royal Highness the princess Xiao Zhinan and the little county lord Xiao Yuanying, and the sick tiger Zhang Wuxian stood aside, and the three maids such as Silver Candle, Autumn Light, and Picture Screen were guarding the outer room, and there was no one else.

Xu Beiyou's sword box was placed vertically leaning against the head of the bed, stained with blood.

Xiao Zhinan stared at Xu Beiyou for a long time, with an undisguised look of worry on his face, and asked, "Governor Zhang, how is Xu Beiyou's situation?"

"It's not optimistic, the Southern Ghost Emperor made a very vicious move, not only punched the corpse poison into Xu Beiyou's body, but also broke his spine, although Her Royal Highness the princess hung his life with six Nanhua Dan, but it was only maintained in a state of immortality, and if you want to recover, you still need the Nine Turns Golden Pill of the Daomen. ”

Zhang Wuxian's face was solemn, and his voice was even heavier. In fact, there are still a few words that he has not spoken, not to mention how precious and rare the nine-turn golden pill that can live the dead, and the ordinary real people in the Daomen may not be able to have one, even if he really uses the nine-turn golden pill for Xu Beiyou, it is just to save a wasted person, such a loss-making deal, is Her Royal Highness the princess willing to do it?

Her Royal Highness hummed softly, and after a slight hesitation, she was about to get up and leave.

Xiao Yuanying suddenly reached out and grabbed her sleeve, lowered her head and whispered, "Sister, just ask me." ”

Xiao Zhinan turned his head to look at her, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to save it, but I don't have a Nine Turns Golden Pill." ”

Xiao Yuanying's fingers were like hooks, clenching her big sleeves tightly, raising her head to look at her, her lips trembling slightly, "I remember that you have one, on the 60th birthday of the imperial grandmother, Mrs. Murong sent a golden pill as a congratulatory gift on behalf of the Daomen, and later the imperial grandmother left Yizhi to leave all her private treasury to you, and the golden pill was also among them." ”

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "Yuan Ying, do you remember that your aunt had a serious illness three years ago?"

Xiao Yuanying was stunned for a moment, and then muttered: "The imperial doctors all said that my aunt was the root of a heavy illness that fell in her early years, and there was almost no cure, but then she got better inexplicably, could it be that my sister sent that golden pill over?"

Xiao Zhinan said calmly: "You are still young, when you remember, your aunt's body is not very good, and she rarely shows up on weekdays, so you may not have much impression of your aunt." I am different from you, my aunt has no children and no daughters, and she lost her husband early, so she sees me as half a child, and although she lives a very hard life, I still don't want her to go so early. ”

Xiao Yuanying slowly loosened Xiao Zhinan's sleeve, a little dazed.

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "Now I can only wait for Mr. Ping An to come back, if he can't do it, then it is really a lack of skills." ”

Until dusk, Zhang Baisui finally arrived late and met Xiao Zhinan in the main hall of the annex.

This powerful eunuch was somehow full of weather, but he still didn't forget the etiquette, and after completing a complete set of etiquette in front of Her Royal Highness the princess according to the rules, he asked unhurriedly: "I don't know what is important for His Highness to urgently summon the old slave?"

Xiao Zhinan roughly explained the cause and effect before and after, and said: "So I also asked Mr. Ping An to take action and save his life." ”

Zhang Baisui didn't rush to make a statement, but said, "The old slave wants to take a look at the young man's situation first." ”

Xiao Zhinan personally led the way and said, "Mr. Ping'an, please come with me." ”

When he came to the guest room, Zhang Wuxian was personally guarding here, and after seeing Zhang Bai's birthday, he took the lead in giving a salute, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The last general has seen Mr. Ping'an." ”

Zhang Baisui smiled and said: "Zhang Dudu, I really haven't seen you for some years, and now Your Majesty has given you the opportunity to return to the imperial court, you don't want to live up to Your Majesty's trust." ”

Zhang Wuxi was obviously a little jealous of the giant eunuch who almost took his life many years ago, so he didn't say anything, just silently stepped aside.

The atmosphere was a little stiff for a while, and Xiao Zhinan had to stand up and play a round and said: "Zhang Daban, the person in the bed is Xu Beiyou." ”

Zhang Baisui, who had a gloomy temperament, did not brush the face of Her Royal Highness the princess, glanced at the unconscious Xu Beiyou, frowned slightly, and then flicked his fingers, only to see a heavy black qi gradually emerge, swimming quickly on the surface of Xu Beiyou's body, like a living snake and insect.

These black gases seem to be messy, long and short, and they seem to be out of order when they swim away, but in fact, they are spreading to the heart and lungs along the veins of Xu Beiyou's body.

"Xuanyin corpse poison. Zhang Baisui sneered, "Sure enough, it's a trick of the Demon Suppression Palace." ”

In front of Zhang Baisui's grand engine, the Southern Ghost Emperor Xuanyin corpse poison couldn't support it at all, but after a little struggle and resistance, they began to swim away quickly, and finally were forced into a dead end by Zhang Baisui's qi machine, and there was no escape, so they could only quickly dissipate.

Zhang Baisui said softly: "The corpse poison is easy to solve, but the injury is tricky, this young man's spine has been broken, it is not too difficult to connect it, the difficulty is whether it can recover after connecting it as before, I am good at killing people over the years, but I don't save people much, if I try my best, I am afraid that I am only fifty percent sure, as for saving or not saving, I still ask Her Royal Highness the princess to decide." ”

Xiao Zhinan hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

She didn't expect Xu Beiyou's life to be held in her hands in the end.

Her Royal Highness the Princess glanced at the unconscious Xu Beiyou, pondered for a moment, then turned around and said softly: "Then there is Lao Zhang's company." ”

Zhang Baisui bowed slightly.

Xiao Zhinan walked outside, and Zhang Wuxi followed behind her.

Coming to the door, Xiao Zhinan stopped and asked without looking back: "Zhang Dudu, if I'm not mistaken, you should be ancient this year." ”

Zhang Wuxian, who looked like he was just a year old, nodded lightly and said: "The last general participated in the Taihu Red Turban Army uprising at the age of sixteen, and returned to the emperor at the age of twenty, and has been fifty years since then. ”

"Life is rare for seventy years, and after so many years, is there anything Zhang Dudu can't let go?" she said without fireworks, "You should have been in the northwest." ”

Zhang Wuxian said calmly: "I'll come to see someone, and then I'll go to the northwest." ”

Xiao Zhinan hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "When you go back to the northwest, take him with you." ”

This he, naturally, refers to the young man in the house whose life and death are uncertain.

Xiao Zhinan sighed, "In the Northeast Muwang Mansion, Gongsun Zhongmou asked me not to rush to pull a climatic Xu Beiyou into this pool of troubled water, now that I think about it, Mr. Gongsun is really prescient." ”

Zhang Wuxi shook his head and said, "The road was chosen by himself." ”

Xiao Zhinan was slightly surprised and stunned, and looked back at Zhang Wuxi.

Zhang Wuxian smiled and said: "Since he chose to take over the mantle of Gongsun Zhongmou, he should know that there will be today, and life and death are not to blame others." But then again, although this young man has a lower background and a little worse realm cultivation, he has a good heart. If he can't die this time and can survive this hurdle, he should have a place in this world in the future. ”

Xiao Zhinan also smiled, "The water flows to a low place, and people go to a high place, he is an ambitious person, I don't mind pulling him a few more times when he is down, whether it is utilitarian or has other schemes, in short, I don't want him to die in Jiangdu, a place that only talks about interests and does not talk about human feelings." ”

Zhang Wuxian said in a deep voice: "He won't die, he is Gongsun Zhongmou's apprentice, if he wants to die, he should die in the hands of Qiu Ye, what is it in the hands of a small person like the Southern Ghost Emperor!"
