Chapter 333 White Mountain for Help
Looking at You Ning's pale face, they can't stand the bumps of Han Baiyu at all, and there is only one official road. Their wounds are weak, and they can't stand the murderousness of the other party at all. Fortunately, Shaohua and Youning are familiar with the terrain in the northern part of Sichuan, so they decided to make a detour into the mountains. The road is not easy to walk, but at least it is safer. As soon as Shaohua put forward his opinion, it coincided with Youning's idea.
The half-day road was more than twice as round by them, and when they arrived at the city of North Sichuan, they accidentally found that the killer they had been avoiding had only arrived one step earlier than them. Seeing that they waited under the city for a moment, the soldiers at the head of the city opened the door and let them in. Shaohua suddenly became nervous: "Oh, they entered the city. What can you do? If you enter the city now, you will definitely meet them."
Lanzhi held Youning's gradually cold hand and was very anxious. She took a look at Shaohua and suggested, "Why don't you meet your brother first and come out to pick us up."
Since she found them, there is no reason to leave their share. They have already gone to the city. Can she go in, can't Youning and them?
Shaohua shook his head with a very serious expression, "No, if you want to go, let's go together. What if I go into the city and they run out?" Now that you have arrived in northern Sichuan, are you still afraid that they will not do it? The effect of the blood coagulation elixir is not long, and coupled with the travel along the way, even if you are careful, it will still tear the wound. You Ning didn't say anything, but Shaohua saw it, and the blood stains on his shoulders spread to his chest, which looked very terrible.
Youning spoke with some difficulty. He licked his dry lips and his face was very haggard. "I'm afraid I can't get in."
Hu Banniang raised her voice and asked curiously, "Why?"
Youning calmed down. Lanzhi couldn't see his expression behind him, but she still held his hand nervously. Youning smiled at the corners of her mouth and looked at Shaohua, "Do you remember what I told you? Not long ago, Lanzhi and I fled all the way outside the city of North Sichuan, but the soldiers guarding the city refused to open the door to let us in, saying that they were surnamed Mu Order that no one should approach the city gate, otherwise he will be executed as a thief. If I hadn't grown up in northern Sichuan, I wouldn't have been able to get in at all. Perhaps because of his speech, Youning's face turned slightly red and he looked a little angry. "Well, I think Youning grew up in northern Sichuan. I don't know anyone in it. As a result, he took over and became blind."
Shaohua frowned and was a little puzzled, "So what? Now it's not Mushi really has the final say."
You Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at Shaohua's doubt, and couldn't help laughing sarcastically, "Those people who just entered are chasing us all the way. With Mu Shi's real nature, if it weren't for his cronies, could he let them in so easily?"
Shaohua gasped, "You mean it's Mu Shizhen who wants to kill you?" If it really means Mu Shizhen, wouldn't Yan Kaizhi be in danger? Even Lanzhi, who is a princess, dares to do something he dares not do.
Looking at the white wall, which was originally the place he was most familiar with, but now it has rejected him outside the city. You Ning's eyes became sharp from far-reaching, like an angry wolf, and said hatefully, "I don't know. Anyway, it's not him, at least it has something to do with him."
Shaohua thought about it carefully and felt that the name was a little familiar. "I remember my husband mentioned him, and he was a person that Fang Youxin valued very much."
You Ning said too hard and pulled the wound, which made him with teeth cracked, but his eyes were full of hatred, which surprised Shaohua, "Fang Youxin, this old thief! He is a lonely minister everywhere, and he has to get everything, but I'm afraid the emperor will annoy him.
Shaohua asked, "How do you know?"
Youning glanced back at her, and the other party sneered with a letter. "Listen to what my father said, once I don't know what the emperor said in the morning. In short, I didn't feel good when I heard the letter. I refuted the emperor on the spot that I was speechless. Three sentences did not leave the former emperor's entrusting orphans, loyal ministers to assist, and several cronies were promoted to six government departments in a row. The promotion of virtuous ministers is actually to supervise the officials of various ministries. Many people annoyed him, and the emperor was also ashamed by him, but he was indeed loyal. But so what? Which emperor is willing to be led by the minister's nose? This wooden stone must have been transferred by Fang Youxin. I don't know how Brother Yan is now.
Now, even Lanzhi is worried.
If Mu Shizhen was deliberately sent by Fang Youxin as You Ning said, he must act with Fang Youxin's behavior and never let Yan Kaizhi feel better and be fine without tripping him.
Hu Ba Niang listened that everyone did not like Mu Shizhen, and she also added, "Is Mu Shi Zhen? That man is very annoying. My father is just greedy and afraid of death, but he is also a good official. Because the people below him have no vision, he offended him. As a result, he actually settled the accounts on my father and said that he would be very involved in my father's book when he returned to Beijing. But what's so great about being a student of the prime minister?
Maybe it's gathering people in groups. Hearing that everyone's views on Mushizhen were unexpectedly consistent, Shaohua couldn't help thinking, "Then, isn't it Fang Youxin who doesn't want Lanzhi to return to Beijing?"
Hu Banniang nodded hurriedly: "Well, it must be him!" Anyway, she also hates the people her father hates, so Hu Banniang doesn't care how much she can deduct from Mu Shizhen, and Mu Shi is really a trustworthy student, so she must be a member of the same group. However, after she finished speaking, she was also confused, "But why didn't Fang Youxin let the princess go back to Beijing? The princess had no grudge against him."
You Ning sneered and said, "Because Lanzhi's surname is Yan."
Hu Banniang looked at him curiously, "So what? If something happens to the princess, she won't be afraid of the emperor and Doro. What are you talking about? I'm obviously a treacherous minister and a traitor.
You Ning looked awe-inspiring and her eyes became sharp, "That's right! If Lanzhi has an accident, if the emperor and King Doro can't find it, it will certainly cause a conflict between the two countries. Chiba was originally ambitious to see Doro and Daqing split up. Fang Youxin believed that this was simply to help Zhou abuse and act for the tiger. The more he said, the more convinced he was about his thoughts. Youning couldn't help shivering. "If Lanzhi returns to Beijing and learns the end of his mother and brother, it is impossible to do nothing. At that time, if the emperor is embarrassed, it will be even more difficult for Fang Youxin."
Fang Youxin wants to build a clean and honest world. He has no ambition to threaten the emperor to order the princes, but he cannot allow others to hinder his plan. The late emperor used him because his methods were fierce enough, and because there was no family background burdensome, as long as the emperor said a word, he dared to kill him. When the late emperor came to power, it was originally the strong support of the mother's family of Empress Duanming and Empress Dowager He, as well as the Xu family in Pingzhou. Without the strength of these families, he would have to calm down the chaos and settle down at the same time.
But because they relied on too much family power, their rights were also scattered. They were all proud of their achievements, and the former emperors had no choice. Some people say that Fang Youxin was a dog in front of the previous emperor. When he met a single army fighting alone, the former emperor let him out. When the other party was bitten, the former emperor came forward to comfort or punish him. In a word, Fang Youxin did not think it was a kind of slander. In his opinion, the ancestors did it because they trusted him. There were so many ministers in the world, but he didn't want it, and even gave him the edict. Even if it is a dog, he will make those corrupt officials and villains kneel worse than his dog.
However, Hongyi knew better than anyone about his father's starting family. He also saw Hongwen being hugged by his mother's family to compete for his position. He still remembers when he was a child, when Empress Duanming was still alive. He grew up with Hongwen and Hongfang. Hongwen is gentle. Compared with Hongfang's laziness and Hongyi's cleverness, Hongwen can definitely be called house benevolence. However, as soon as Empress Duanming died, his temperament changed greatly. Later, I don't know why the Wang family sneaked into Beijing, ambushed beside Hongwen, and began to brainwash him, which was tit-for-tat with Hongyi, and even forced him to seize the throne.
Hongyi knew that his mother's family was much stronger than the Wang family. If you look at the court, how many ministers have married the He family? It can almost be said that the He family has connected half of the Beijing officials. He doesn't want to repeat his father's path, let alone the end of Hongwen. Naturally, he will be in charge of his world.
Therefore, knowing that Yan Kaizhi had hatred for the He family and the Xu family, he didn't care and even let him disturb him. In his opinion, Yan Kaizhi was as if he had faith in the previous emperor. Therefore, Hongyi will not severely punish Kaizhi in any case. Without Yan Kaizhi, it is equivalent to breaking his arm. But he can't completely betray Fang Youxin. Hongwen was reformed into a commoner in the name of filial piety. Naturally, he has to be the opposite of Hongwen. After the death of the former emperor, he took the orphan minister of the former emperor. Even if Hongyi was cold-blooded and hard enough, he had to be pierced by the people of the world.
Suddenly, they all felt that Chuanbei was a huge blood mouth, the fierce minions of the loyal dog released by Fang Youxin. Hu Banniang swallowed and carefully looked at the other people's silent expressions: "If we can't enter the city, what should we do? Should we turn back to Liangcheng?"
Shaohua shook his head, "No, it's dark. Even if you go straight from the official road, it will take three watch days. Besides, if you go to Liangcheng, I'm afraid you will never get out again. Wei Chi and Feng Xian will not let her escape again. Duofu is also waiting for Youning, and Hu Ba Niang will probably be banned by Hu Taishou. The others are fine, but she has to go to the north of Sichuan. She can't just leave Yan Kaizhi here.
You Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go up the mountain?"
"Up to the mountain?" Shaohua suddenly became happy, with a surprised smile on his face, which made Lanzhi look puzzled, "You mean Baishan? By the way, how can I forget them? Uncle Bagg is good at picking herbs and will definitely heal your wounds, as well as Yinman and Doreen.
Hu Banniang frowned and asked, "Where is Baishan?" Who is Ma Lin's?
You Ning squeezed his lips and thought of two difficult cousins, and suddenly regretted the proposal. "Bag is my mother's brother and the next patriarch of the Rob clan. Yinman and Doreen are my uncle's daughters, that is, my cousin." However, in the current plan, they can only choose to go up the mountain, and his injury can no longer be delayed.
Since they decided to go to Baishan, Shaohua and Youning immediately turned their heads. As long as they seize the time, they can enter the mountain just before the sunset.
Hu Banniang hugged Shaohua's waist and asked carefully, "Master, how do you know so much? Didn't you grow up in Beijing?"
Shaohua almost bit his tongue and scolded Hu Ba Niang so many words in his heart, "Well, no one treats you as mute if you don't speak." Thinking that if she saw Bagh, she would definitely ask him for some herbs that made people speechless, otherwise she would be annoyed to death by Hu Ba Niang.
