Notes on Evil Fox

"There is poison in the knife." Pei Ming took Rong Shiyin's pulse and said to Lu Fanan who was holding him, "Master Rong should recuperate at this time, and it is not appropriate to go on the road with the army."

"Then let's quickly find a place where we can stay, so you can get a diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible." Lu Fanan said and was about to stand up with Rong Shiyin.

Pei Ming hurriedly stopped him: "I have to give Mr. Rong an injection first to prevent the toxin from spreading."

As he spoke, he took out the silver needle from the medicine box and winked at Feng Ningxiong beside him.

The latter was unknown, so Pei Ming gave him a gouged look helplessly, and then said to Lu Fanan: "Master Rong's poison is not a difficult poison to cure, but it is quite complicated and troublesome to cure. Now that you have agreed to temporarily manage the army It is not a gentleman's style to leave the armed forces behind like this."

When he turned around to borrow the silver needle, he gave Feng Ningxiong another sideways glance. The latter finally understood and echoed, "Yes, there is no general in the army, just like a pile of loose sand. All the soldiers have just gone through a big battle now, and they have been severely injured physically and mentally." , if there is no person in charge at this time, I'm afraid... Besides, Dr. Pei's medical skills are praised by everyone in the army.

"What's the matter? Are you still afraid that if I eat your face, I won't succeed?" Pei Ming joked with a feigned lightness.

Lu Fanan frowned and thought about it for a while, before finally compromising.After sending Rong Shiyin, Pei Ming and the others to a farmhouse, and after repeated exhortations, they finally set out on their way.

After Lu Fan'an left, Pei Ming took Rong Shiyin's pulse again and frowned.He called a soldier who stayed here to protect them, whispered a few words, and sent him out with a solemn face.

……

When they arrived at the capital, Lu Fanan became more and more uneasy. For these few days, Rong Shiyin hadn't contacted them, and he didn't know what was going on with his health.

That night, the night before entering the city, Pei Ming caught up with the team with a burden in his arms.

Looking at the other party's dusty look, Lu Fanan said: "Why did you come back alone, where is Mr. Rong?"

Pei Ming's face was full of heaviness, and he handed out the bundle in his hand. Inside, there seemed to be something in the shape of a plaque.It was the same burden as the blind old man they met in Wuma City.

Pei Ming said in a low voice, "Master Rong, he is gone."

Lu Fanan didn't reach forward with the hand that was stretched out to pick up the burden. He took a step back and staggered.

It seems that at that moment, the world has quietly lost its vitality.

"Impossible, I'm going to find him, how could he abandon me?" Lu Fanan ran out of the tent like crazy, "You all lied to me, right?"

"I'm sorry, I'm incompetent, I can't cure the poison." Pei Ming pulled him back, "The journey is long, if you bring a corpse with you, it will definitely rot. So, before Mr. Rong died, let me bury his corpse in the water. "

Lu Fanan's eyes darkened, and a fishy sweetness welled up in his throat.

He grabbed the spiritual tablet that Pei Ming was holding, opened the bag tremblingly, and when his hand brushed the name of the spiritual tablet lightly, he felt a little unusual touch underneath.

A thought flashed through his mind, making him a little ecstatic.But now, he can't reveal it, and can only try his best to maintain the original state and not move.

But in the eyes of everyone, it became a grief that was nothing greater than death.

……

The palace, the imperial study.

Xia Changming leaned numbly on the chair. Under the sloppy dragon robe, he was so thin that almost only a handful of bones remained, and he murmured: "I am the Son of Heaven, and the world belongs to me." , I can kill whoever I want, and I can do whatever I want. Don't let anyone stop me."

Wang Bao looked at Xia Changming with disgust, and said to Wang Cao: "It's all like this, why don't you just kill him. Once and for all."

Wang Cao glanced at him, and said in his tone that he hated iron and steel: "Although Rong Shiyin is dead now, the military power is still in Feng Ningxiong's hands. If Xia Changming dies now, we will become murderers." Jun."

"But he has been tortured like this, what else can he do?"

"He can't do anything, but his life is still very useful." Wang Cao said, throwing an apple on the table high towards Xia Changming like teasing a dog, and said with a grinning face, "Let Feng Ningxiong do it himself." If you kill His Majesty, let alone military power, you won’t even be able to keep your head.”

"But the six kings?"

"Rong Shiyin should have long wanted to usurp the throne, otherwise why did he keep supporting Xia Changjin?" Wang Cao looked at Xia Changming, who was still swearing just now and now holding an apple, and said, "It's a shame that idiot Xia Changming believed him." .But now that he is dead, the Six Kings are naturally not enough evidence."

Wang Baoyin nodded, Wang Cao turned his head to him and asked, "Where's Lu Fanan?"

"Getting drunk every day, he's depraved to the extreme. His father's death has never seen such pain." Wang Baoyin said contemptuously, "However, there are people guarding that courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing, and our people can't get close to him."

"I've been fighting with Lu Kun for so many years, but I didn't know that his son was a broken sleeve, and he was looking for a life and death for his father-killing enemy. It really gave Lu Kun a face."

Wang Baoyin suddenly had an idea, and said: "Since we can't enter that courtyard, we can let him come to us."

Wang Bao offered advice in a low voice, and Wang Cao finally seemed satisfied, and nodded with a smile.

……

Suburbs of Beijing.

Lu Fanan was sitting drunkenly in the backyard, holding Rong Shiyin's spirit tablet in his arms, looking at the frozen lotus pond, crying and laughing madly.

Standing far under the corridor, Pei Ming looked at Lu Fanan's extremely desolate back, and couldn't help but remember that night.

……

Most of the peasant households go to bed early, especially in winter when the night comes earlier.However, amidst the darkness, there was a little light disturbing the tranquility.

"I don't know how to cure this poison." Pei Ming looked at Rong Shiyin who was lying on the bed with a solemn expression.

"Is there really nothing you can do?" Feng Ningxiong asked with a frown.

Pei Ming shook his head, sighed again, and said, "I gave him an injection today, but I could only control the speed of the poison. Logically speaking, it's almost time to wake up, but for some reason, he didn't see him." Awake."

The two waited silently until almost midnight before Rong Shiyin woke up.

After Feng Ningxiong briefly told Rong Shiyin what happened, he looked at him regretfully.Even Pei Ming, who had always been at odds with him, turned his head a little bit unbearably, and it was rare that he didn't say much to add to his troubles.

Under the eyes of the two as if they had already seen him go to the funeral, Rong Shiyin slowly took off a pendant from his waist.With force on his hand, the jade pendant was split in two, and a small white pill fell into his palm.Without even thinking about it, Rong Shiyin raised his head and swallowed the medicine.

The movements are done in one go, leaving no room for others to react.

Feng Ningxiong looked at him in panic: "Master Rong, what kind of medicine are you taking?"

"The antidote." Rong Shiyin didn't even lift his eyelids.

"How is it possible? There is obviously no cure for this poison." Pei Ming sat by the bed and checked his pulse, unable to believe it.

"If you don't know how to solve it, don't say you can't solve it." Rong Shiyin choked back.

Rong Shiyin remembered that when Ruyi bid farewell to him the day before he left, he wanted to return the Jade Spirit Pill, but Ruyi only said: "I hope you will never need it. But if it is really dangerous, please let it go." Help me one last time for you."

Didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

"Master Rong, don't be a fool, what's going on?" Feng Ningxiong asked anxiously.

"The witch doctor saint is an old acquaintance of mine, and this medicine is the witch doctor clan elixir she gave me." When Feng Ningxiong was not present when he said goodbye to the Falcon Crossbow envoy that day, Rong Shiyin briefly explained, and then said "There is no other person who is so anxious to kill me now, except the Wang family. Pei Ming's medical skills are superb, but he has never seen the poison in the Central Plains. And the Wang family has long colluded with the falcon crossbow. After all, the poison probably came from there. This witch doctor clan elixir is exactly right for it."

Feng Ningxiong rejoiced for a long time, and then said: "When will Lord Rong return to the team?"

"Now the antidote only controls the toxicity. It will take some time for the medicine to take effect and eliminate the remaining poison." Pei Ming returned to his usual hated appearance, "If he is really asked to go, maybe You have to make arrangements in advance.”

Rong Shiyin was a little tired, so he didn't bother to talk to him, so he cheered up and said, "Since the Wang family wants me to die, let's play a play with them."

The Wang family may have been driven to a dead end now, first impatiently sending people in a vain attempt to gather military power, and then secretly assassinating him.

If they were really allowed to succeed, wouldn't it be true that this Dachang country would really change its surname to Wang.

Rong Shiyin briefly told Feng Ning Xiong about his plan, and then said: "Please tell General Lu that I am fine, so don't worry him."

Feng Ningxiong hesitated and said: "This matter is dangerous, why not inform General Lu temporarily, so as not to cause further complications."

"No matter how loving you are, it's not at this moment." Pei Ming also said coldly from the side, "If something goes wrong, everyone will inevitably suffer. If it's really for his own good, don't drag him into this mud."

Feng Ningxiong was listening to this, coughed twice uncomfortably, Rong Shiyin knew why he was embarrassed.But he didn't explain it. After all, the habit of breaking sleeves is always different in the eyes of the world.But as long as they please themselves, that's enough.

Rong Shiyin frowned and thought for a while, then an imperceptible cunning flashed across his eyes, and he said, "The general also needs to do something to me."

Feng Ningxiong looked at him puzzled, and Rong Shiyin continued: "Please separate this matter from General Lu. I have a Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, let him go there."

No matter what the situation in Beijing is, at least the Xingyue Pavilion can protect Lu Fan's safety.

And he, of course, would not deceive Lu Fanan.

The purpose of what he is doing now is just to take one step closer to the peaceful world that Lu Fanan is looking forward to.Let that person no longer worry about the so-called world, and just be his romantic and noble son.

And the other party's intention to treat him is also the same.If Lu Fanan thought he was dead, how could he survive this period of time safely.

But these, Pei Ming will never know.

……

Withdrawing from the memory, Pei Ming looked at Lu Fanan's back, with some imperceptible sadness in his eyes.He glanced at the cloak in his hand again, sighed, and finally hung the cloak on the railing in the corridor, turned around and returned to the house.

Some untimely friendships should also be let go.

Lu Fanan noticed that the people behind Dao had left, and his expression returned to normal.Looking at the spiritual seat in his arms, he smiled helplessly: "I really don't think it's taboo."

He stretched out his hand and rubbed it lightly next to the name on the spiritual tablet a few times, and sure enough a thin piece of wood fell off. When he turned the piece of wood over, he saw a few small words written on it: "Everything is fine, don't worry."

Lu Fanan carefully put the wood chips into his arms, and sighed imperceptibly, if Feng Ningxiong and others knew that Rong Shiyin told him the truth behind their backs.I'm afraid they will only regard him as a person who values ​​his son's and daughter's personal relationships, and it will be difficult to establish his authority in front of everyone.

So now Rong Shiyin wants to convince Feng Ningxiong and the others, but also refuses to deceive him, which is really embarrassing for him.That being the case, then I can't hold him back anyway.

It's just a play, the kung fu of deceiving the master should still be there when I was young.

……

With a cock crow, Rong Shiyin woke up from his dream.

Since his feigned death, he has changed his residence to recuperate. This is a very remote small village in the northwest of the Central Plains.

Most of the farmers are honest and simple, they work at sunrise and rest at sunset.In addition, it is now in the middle of winter, and the villagers only stay in their own houses, and occasionally go to neighbors' houses to chat around the fire.

Such and such days actually made him ponder the meaning of the peaceful years.

It's just that the only fly in the ointment is that Lu Fanan is not around.

But it doesn't matter, he will set off to return to the capital today.When it's over, he will take him to live all the life he wants.

……

Three days later, Lu Fanan drank in the pavilion again, and the snow piled up all over the yard was dirtied by his stepping on it.

"Young Master Lu." Suddenly someone called out behind him.

Lu Fanan turned his head and found that it was a lieutenant general following Feng Ningxiong.

The man stepped forward and knelt in front of Lu Fanan, and said, "I beg Mr. Lu to save my general."

Lu Fanan asked people to stand up. According to what the visitors said, the emperor issued an edict this afternoon to summon Feng Ningxiong to the palace for an audience, and the two had a secret conversation in the study.

But unexpectedly, there was a loud noise in the study. At this time, Wang Cao entered the palace. After calling someone to open the door of the study, he saw that the emperor had died on his seat.

Now Feng Ningxiong has been arrested and is being escorted to Dali Temple.The charge is murdering the emperor and attempting to usurp the throne.

After the man left, Lu Fanan stood up staggeringly, looking decadent and sloppy.

Pei Ming stopped him and said, "What are you going to do? This is clearly a trap."

"I know." Lu Fanan didn't even look at him, and just walked out on his own, "If someone can be rescued, everyone will be happy. If they can't be rescued, then we can meet again underground. That's right. Fortunately."

As the man disappeared, he only left a sentence lightly: "Perhaps, maybe I can avenge him."

Seeing that he couldn't stop Lu Fanan, Pei Ming said angrily to the dark place, "Don't hurry up and tell you Mr. Rong, Lu Fanan's life is about to die."

……

Rong Shiyin rode his horse to the outside of the capital, and when he was about to take a small path to enter the city, he ran into Shangyue who came to look for him.

I saw the anxiety of rushing around on the face of the person who came.

Appreciating the moon secretly adjusted his breath, and briefly explained that Lu Fanan went to rescue Feng Ningxiong alone.

Rong Shiyin's face turned pale when he heard this, he was not going to save people, he was clearly going to die.Could it be that he hadn't discovered the news he secretly gave him?

Qiang calmed down and ordered: "Order, all Xingyue Pavilion troops will be mobilized to protect Young Master Lu from any danger."

And he turned around and turned to another direction outside the city.
