Chapter 39

Su Fa drank the medicine of Hua's doctor, and after a night, he really lifted his spirits.When he woke up in the morning, he saw Shu Yin lying on the table and fell asleep. A red candle on the table had been burned out, leaving a ball of wax clay. Su Fa knew that he was with him all night, and he was grateful and moved.At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the room. He was afraid that the noise would cause him to fall asleep, so he said to the outside, "Come in." The waiter pushed the door in with the medicine in hand, put the medicine on the table, and glanced at it again. Eyeing wide, he snorted, "Sleeping like a dead pig, and calling the patient to answer the door." Su Fa smiled and said, "Don't blame him, he is a son, he has never been so tired." Hearing this, he frowned again and again, squeezed his nose and snorted again, and said, "He is brother son, so you are son brother?" Su Fa thought that Shu Yin did often call him brother, but at this moment he didn't want to recognize his identity anymore. , just said, "I am not qualified to be his younger brother, I am his book boy." Xiaoer curled his lips, "Your family rules are strange, it is the first time I have seen the young master serving the book boy." After speaking, he was suspicious He took a quick look at Su Fa before going out.

Seeing that the medicine was placed far away, Su Fa had no choice but to force himself out of bed, leaning on the edge of the bed to get to the table, suddenly felt his legs go weak, and pressed on Shu Yin's body.Shu Ying was startled, saw that it was Su Fa who fell on him, and said, "It's you." After thinking about it again, he rubbed his eyes and woke up, and said happily, "Are you awake?" Su Fa agreed, "It's you. He laughed again at Shu Yin, "Xiao Er said that your family's rules are very strange." Shu Yin helped him to sit down, and asked, "Where is the blame?" , and poured water into the teapot to get rid of the bitterness.He paused for a while before saying, "Xiaoer said that it was the first time he saw the young master serving the school boy." Shu Yin said with a smile, "That Xiaoer is talking nonsense, how did he know that you are a book boy?" Su Fa said, "I said Yes." Shu Yin still smiled, "You love to talk nonsense too, when did you become my book boy again." Su Fa dipped his finger in the water in the teapot, drew a few vertical lines on the table, and said, "From now on Thinking of me being your book boy, how about letting me take care of your son's daily life and study?" Shu Yin also dipped in water and wrote two words on the table, saying, "You want to be a book boy, can you recognize these two words?" Su Fa stared at it for a long time and shook Shaking his head, he said again, "Why do you still need to be able to read and write?" Shu Yin smiled and said, "You are not acting like a servant." As he spoke, he circled the two words with his finger , Said, "This is your name." Su Fa was taken aback, and Fang said, "This is my name? Su Fa?" Shu Yin picked up his hand, pointed to a word and said, "This is Fa." Another word, "This is Er. Faer is the name I call you, have you forgotten?" Su Fa suddenly burned his face, he gritted his teeth, and then asked, "Master, you are such a humiliated and troubled rescuer. I, is it because I saved your life?" Shu Yin paused, looked at his face, and said for a while, "And for other things."

However, since Shu Yin fell off the cliff, Shu Rong sent Zhu Xiu to search the surrounding waters every day, and after half a month, he still hadn't found any trace of Shu Yin. Tell them that Shu Yin has been killed by the gangster army, and ask Zhu Xiu to tell how he was captured by the gangster army that night.All the soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and then very angry. They all put on their swords and armors, and were ready to fight the gangsters for life and death.Shu Rong had no reason to tell this lie, but he didn't think about it, but it boosted the morale of the Vietnamese army, and he was overjoyed. He prepared for the battle for two days, and on the third day, he let the front line blow the long horns and wave the banner to attack the camp of the gangsters.

Because of the shortage of food, Zhu Dian couldn't go on like this, so he also issued an order the day before yesterday, and the whole army was dispatched.Early this morning, seeing the whole front of the Vietnamese army rushing towards them, although the gangsters were shocked but not timid, they were all ready to go, and only waited for the general to give an order, they would rush to fight with their big swords.

Both armies are fully prepared for battle and are determined to use this battle to determine the outcome.The Vietnamese army is tragic, and vows to kill the enemy to sacrifice the spirit of the prince; the gangster army has no way out, and this is a last stand.For a while, I saw only the environment of Hushan Mountain, with rolling yellow sand and gunpowder smoke everywhere.The gangster and Vietnamese armies fought for three days, with more than half of the casualties, but it was still impossible to tell the winner.The soldiers of Yue State proposed to Shu Rong for a truce.Shu Rong commanded the battle, and after three days of exhaustion, he also had the same intention, so he ordered the troops to withdraw for the time being.Although Zhu Dian wanted to pursue him, the hooligan army suffered heavy losses and needed time to rest, so he set up camp on the spot and was ready to attack the Vietnamese army at any time.

When Shu Rong saw that the gangsters hadn't retreated from the front line, he couldn't rest easy and was worried day and night, fearing a sneak attack by the gangsters.One day, a soldier standing guard in the front came to report, "The hooligan army stopped their flags and drums since last night, and they have retreated from the front line in large numbers this morning." Shu Rong was overjoyed, and asked, "Do you know why?" There are a lot of them." Shu Rong clapped his hands and said, "God helped me!" So he quickly summoned soldiers and dispatched elite soldiers to chase down the remnants of the gangsters.

Although Zhu Dian had indeed retreated for food and grass, seeing the Vietnamese army chasing them in a big way, he cursed angrily, "Now they are chasing them again. It can be seen that he is also a bullying little thief!" Go up and lead the troops in person.It's just that the hooligan army couldn't resist the Vietnamese army, and they retreated steadily after fighting for half a day.When Shu Rong saw this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and sent out the remaining soldiers in the camp, and ordered them to "definitely capture the general of the gangster army alive."Shu Rong believed that he had the chance to win, so he had no taboos, singing and singing in the camp every night, eating and getting drunk every day.

Zhu Dian saw that the war had collapsed, so he thought of a trick.He singled out a few people with high martial arts skills from the army and ordered them to sneak into the camp of the Vietnamese army.Zhu Dian said, "It's really a last resort. The entire Vietnamese army is dispatched at this moment, and there may not be many people staying in the camp. As long as you capture the command of the Vietnamese army, we still have a chance of winning. The victory of the gangsters Defeat, honor and disgrace are all on you." Hearing what Zhu Dian said, those people were all very proud and agreed.

Na Shurong saw that the hooligan army was routed, so he relaxed his guard a long time ago, ordering the soldiers in the camp to drink with him all day long.In the middle of the night, Shu Rong was in a hurry to urinate, so he went outside the tent to urinate, and saw that the night watchmen were all dozing off and standing in disarray.Shu Rong let out a chuckle, but he didn't wake them up, he only took two steps when he was punched in the neck, before he could yell out, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

According to the Nahuashen medicine prescription, Su Fa took the medicine three times a day, and after five days, the black energy in his right hand really disappeared.Su Fa said to Shu Yin, "Now that the corpse poison in my hand is gone, we don't need to waste money here." Shu Yin also wanted to know how Li Wencheng got rid of the demon as soon as possible, so he settled the fee with the inn and Su Fa cut away.

There was still two taels of silver left, Shu Yin wanted to use it to buy clothes, but Su Fa said he needed to keep it for food.Although Shu Yin is unwilling, he also knows that food is more important than clothes.Su Fa saw that he was unhappy all the way, and also saw that the two of them were dressed in rags, so he thought that he was poor and humble, and he didn't care about wearing this kind of clothes, but that was a quote from Xiao Jinyi, who wanted to force him to wear rags on the street Let's go, I don't know what kind of thoughts he has in mind.Seeing a shop in front of him, he dragged Shu Yin to go there.Shu Yin said deliberately, "I'm very hungry, and I have to save a few taels for food." Su Fa laughed at him, "If what you said is what you think, then let's go buy buns." He wanted to go to the bun shop, but Shu Yin hurriedly begged him to stay.

The two bought two pieces of coarse cloth clothes, and bought dry food with the remaining money.

Shu led the way, "I don't know where this place is, we will go back to Hushan to meet Li Daochang first."

Su Fa was puzzled, "Why cooperate with that Taoist Hui?"

Shu led, "He saved your life, you don't want to thank him and bow down."

Su Fa kicked the dry grass by the roadside, and said disdainfully, "If the young master didn't beg him, he would not save me. If you say prostration, you are prostrating to you, young master." After saying that, he cupped his fists and wanted to kneel down.

Shu Yin hurriedly supported him, and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to worship him at Jieshi, I will do it for you."

Su Fa grabbed Shu Yin's sleeve and said, "You don't want to worship him either."

Shu Yin said with a smile, "You are my book boy, I should thank you for you."

Su Fa shook his hand angrily, and said, "I'll do my obeisance, and I won't lose my life if I do obeisance to a stinky Taoist priest."

Shu Yinhu looked solemn again, and said, "There is one more thing to go to Hushan."

Su Fa asked, "What's the matter? Why didn't you tell me earlier, Young Master?"

Shu cited, "Do you know who is looking for me?"

Su Fa shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Shu Yin put his hands on his shoulders and asked, "Do you remember who burned your house that night?"

Su Fa said, "It's officers and soldiers."

Shu pointed out, and said, "The leader is Zhu Xiu, the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Yue Kingdom, and also my brother's entourage..." So he told Su Fa all about his previous encounters.

Su Fa listened carefully at first, but what Shu Yin was talking about was the struggle of the royal family. He was born in a peasant family, and he became impatient when he didn't understand for a while. After Shu Yin finished speaking, he said, "I don't understand you guys. The grievances between the royal family and relatives. If you want me to say, if you don't plan to kill your brother Wang, how can he send someone to kill you?"

Shu Yin said angrily, "Then what did my wife and mother do wrong? They are pure, kind and gentle people, and they are not harmed by them in the end!"

When Su Fa heard him talking about Madam, he was startled for a moment, then thought again, he is a descendant of the royal family, how could he not have a family at such an age.So instead of arguing with him about what is right and what is wrong, he just asked in a low voice, "Your Master said you still want to go back to Yue?"

Shu Yin nodded and said, "I escaped from the camp to hide people's eyes and ears. I wanted to take advantage of the gap to go back to the place first. I can ask Mr. Gong for advice on countermeasures. I just thought it would be a long journey, and it took me some time." See Su Fa bowed his head in silence, and hurriedly said, "It's thanks to this ordeal that I met you." After speaking, he took him into his arms and asked, "Are you willing to go to Yue with me?"

Su Fa leaned on his shoulder and nodded.

The two went back to Hushan to look for Li Wencheng.But Li Wencheng didn't know where he went to catch the demon, and the two walked for a few days before returning to the earthen house where the witch lived.Su Fa stopped Shu Yin, refused to go forward, and said, "Wait a minute, my lord, if the temptress is not subdued by the Taoist priest, wouldn't she come out to harm us again?" Shu Yin looked up to the sky and said, "The Taoist priest once said, Temptresses are afraid of the sun, they won't come out during the day, it's noon now, we don't need to be afraid of her." Su Fa still didn't dare, so Shu Yin went by himself.

The sarcophagus in the earthen house was still there, and Shu introduced the coffin lid to the ground, the same as before he left, so he said to Su Fa, "We have been away for ten days, and the sarcophagus has not changed since we left. She has already subdued the temptress, so she can't come back here." Su Fa said, "Since the Taoist priest has taken the temptress, the young master has nothing to worry about, let's leave this place quickly."

The two were about to leave, but one person appeared behind the shadow of the tree.It was Li Wencheng.Shu Yin was overjoyed and shouted, "Daozhang Li, we are here to find you." Li Wencheng was still wearing Taoist robes and carrying a wooden sword, but now he had a wine gourd on his waist.Li Wencheng stepped forward, and Shu Yin made a salute with both hands.Su Fa remembered what he had promised before, so he pursed his lips, looked away, and kowtowed to Li Wencheng.Li Wencheng helped the two of them up, and said, "The poor Taoist once said that after subduing the temptress, he went to find the two, but unexpectedly, the two came first." Shu led, "I don't know how to deal with the temptress?" Li Wencheng untied the wine gourd from his waist and shook it towards Shuyin.Shu Yin heard the sound of water inside.Li Wencheng stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I think that temptress has turned into a puddle of thick water at this moment." Then he asked about the situation after the two left here.Su Fa remembered that he hated him for not being able to rescue him in time, so he didn't make much sense, only Shu Yin told him what happened before and after.He also said that he was about to go to the capital of the Yue Kingdom.Then Li Wencheng said, "Poverty Daoist came from Qi Country, he practiced Taoism and eliminated demons all the way, and he also intends to go there for a visit." Shu Yin was very happy to hear the words, and immediately said, "Since this is the case, we can go with the Daoist Priest If there is any danger on Jieshi's road, we can rely on the Taoist leader." Li Wencheng nodded in agreement.

The three of them traveled together, except for Su Fa, Shu Yin and Li Wencheng were vague about their life experiences.Shu Yin only said that he was a fisherman from the same village as Su Fa.Li Wencheng also only said that he learned Taoism under the guidance of an expert.When Shu introduced Li Wencheng, he didn't refrain from drinking and meat, he didn't look like a serious Taoist priest, and besides, he couldn't figure out his background, so he had to regret walking with him in his heart.Li Wencheng also felt that although Shu Yin was a fisherman, he couldn't carry his shoulders and hands, and he had to be taken care of by Su Fa in everything, so he also doubted his words.The two of them walked together for a few days, and they didn't want to talk to each other if they didn't talk to each other.

It was noon that day, and the three of them sat on the slope to rest.Shu Yin and Su Fa ate the dry food bought in the village, while Li Wencheng preyed on most of the wild game by himself.The three of them had enough to eat and drink, then Li Wencheng stood up and pointed to the front, and said, "After a dozen li or so, we will arrive at Xiayi County of the Yue Kingdom. If the two young masters are in a hurry to go, they can go first, and the poor will have to delay in the city." Some things." Shu Yin couldn't ask for it, and immediately said, "The Taoist priest has something to do, so we can't force him to go together. In this case, we will part in Xiayi County." Su Fa nodded after hearing this.

Just as they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes rushing towards this side in the distance. The three of them looked at each other and immediately hid in the grass beside them.Not long after, a soldier came galloping on a fast horse.Shu introduced that the other party was wearing the military uniform of the Manchurian Kingdom, and looking behind him, there was no accompanying person, and he was very puzzled.The soldier flicked his whip repeatedly, and the horse galloped away from the eyes of the three of them.Shu Yin suddenly got up and shouted, "Stop him quickly!" Li Wencheng was also feeling strange, at this moment, hearing Shu Yin shouting, before he could think about it, he quickly stretched out his right hand and pointed at the horse, and yelled. .I saw that the horse was flying like flying, but suddenly it seemed to bump into an invisible wall, and immediately neighed, and the horse and man rolled to the ground.Shu Yin immediately ran forward, before the soldier got up, he pulled out the big knife that fell to the ground, and slashed at the soldier's neck, blood gushed out immediately.Both Li Wencheng and Su Fa were frightened. They usually see Shu being gentle and gentle, but they didn't expect that they would be so ruthless.Li Wencheng even regretted that he had shot just now.

Shu Yin touched the soldier's chest and took out a letter. He tore it open and saw that the contents of the letter were beyond his expectation.It turned out that Zhu Dian had captured Shu Rong and threatened the Vietnamese army to retreat and surrender within three days, otherwise he would cut off Shu Rong's head and hang it on the battle flag.Shu Yin couldn't recover from the shock for half a moment, and didn't wake up until Su Fa and Li Wencheng stepped forward.Li Wencheng was dissatisfied, and asked, "Young Master once said that the officers and soldiers of the Yue State who burned down the houses, why did you kill them as soon as they saw the hooligan army?" Just as Shu Yin was about to answer, he caught a glimpse of something protruding from the soldiers' waists. In an instant, my heart was hit again.He had seen that thing before, and it was the forehead guard that Shu Rong often wore.Shu led his heart, it seems that what the letter said must be true.Li Wencheng saw that he was ignoring him, so he snorted and said, "If the way is different, you can't conspire with each other. It's really refreshing for the young master to kill you without explaining the reason. It's just that the poor Taoist is a person who learns the way. I don't think he will be blessed with the young master again." Let's go together." Shu Yin picked up the forehead protector in his hand, glanced at Li Wencheng, and said, "The Taoist priest recognized this as a soldier of the gangster country at a glance, so it can be seen that he is not an ordinary Taoist priest."
