Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 2
[Chapter 2]
Bai Zhi recalled Teng Yuyi’s eyes, secretly pinched a handful of sweat, with the nature of the lady who would repay the favor, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not find the servant woman to settle the account.
“Mother, do you know the servant’s master?”
Teng Yuyi ordered Bai Zhi to light the lantern, and said in his heart that he knew that three months later, Duan Ningyuan, the grand duke of Zhenguo, suddenly came to the door to retire with her, precisely for Dong Erniang in the calf car.
I remember that at that time, everyone was surprised to hear the news, and the father was even more angry, and the old man of Zhenguo could not hang on to his face, and tied up his son to plead guilty, but Duan Ningyuan was stubborn and abnormal, and he would rather be flogged and retire.
“If Grandpa is not relieved, adding another hundred will also make it.”
In the dim fog and rain, a young man in an ink-colored shirt knelt straight in front of the court, posing as if he would rather die than look back.
Zhen Guogong was so angry that he took the whip and personally flogged him.
“The old man will kill this beast today!”
The father watched coldly, until Zhen Guogong beat Duan Ningyuan half to death before he spoke: “Quitting the marriage for no reason, the fault is not Wu’er.” You betrayed your faith first, Hugh wants to push the fault on Yu’er, this matter is spread out, it is bound to trigger street talk, but let me hear half a sentence of accusations against Yu’er, don’t blame me Teng Shao’s ruthless means! Saying
that he tore up the “marriage book” and the “marriage answer book” in public, he expelled the dying Duan Ningyuan from the palace.
At first, when this matter was mentioned, it was all surprising that Duan Ningyuan would do such a betrayal of morality, but with the passage of time, other statements gradually flowed out.
Duan Ningyuan was a recognized gentleman of the Faithful, and was willing to bear the world’s infamy and do this, presumably because Teng Shao’s daughter was detrimental in virtue.
I heard that this little lady has different appearances, with a flower-like face, but her temperament is extremely cunning.
This set of words became more and more intense, and it did not take long to reach Teng Shao’s ears, how important the woman’s reputation was, who would dare to propose to the Teng family in the future.
But before Teng Shao could rush back from Huainan Province, General Duan Xiao was bumped into by someone because he and Dong Erniang were in a secret meeting.
It was an autumn shooting ceremony, and the banqueters were almost all princes and nobles, the location was in Leyouyuan, there was a long-abandoned Buddhist temple nearby, I don’t know who said that there were strange flowers blooming in the temple, which suddenly aroused the interest of everyone.
Everyone went to look for fun, and happened to bump into General Duan Xiao and the two thousand gold meeting of Dong Ming Mansion in Wannian County.
Dong Erniang wore a man’s beard in order to facilitate travel, but she could not hide her delicate attitude.
Dong Erniang was full of tears, Duan Ningyuan was warmly relieved, the two were polite, but anyone could see Duan Ningyuan’s admiration and care for Dong Erniang.
This incident caused an uproar, the two were tied up, it can be seen that there had been contact earlier, and General Duan Xiao’s character was praised, and the abandonment of the marriage contract was actually because he fell in love with another woman.
Earlier, there were so many rude speculations about the little lady of the Teng family, General Duan Xiao actually did not maintain a word, even if there was no love, after all, he had concluded a marriage contract, but only cared about the beloved, but let the little lady of the Teng family be slandered, which was simply a wooden heart.
For a while, people used words and excuses, some disdained Duan Ningyuan’s deeds, some accused Dong Erniang of being frivolous and charming, and the Zhenguo Gongfu lost all its face, and the Duchess of Guo did not blame her son for only hating Dong Erniang, and would rather die than let Dong Erniang enter the door.
That night, Teng Yuyi was crooked on the bed of Hu, calmly drinking the stone frozen spring in the wine cup.
She had no interest in who Duan Ningyuan wanted to fly with, but because of her selfish attempt to lose her, it was inevitable that she would deceive people too much.
Duan Ningyuan was an extremely cautious person, in order to set up this game, she did not know how much effort she had put into it, and finally waited for the day when the two of them were discredited, how could she not drink heavily.
***
The servant woman saw that Teng Yuyi and the others had entered smoothly, and also went forward to discuss, but the rich servants only stopped outside the forest and did not let them go no matter what.
The servant woman’s voice was not small, and Bai Zhi listened to a few words in front of her, and only then did she realize that this servant woman was the steward of the DongMing family in Wannian County.
Although Bai Zhi is in Yangzhou all year round, she also knows that Chang’an City is divided into two counties, the east city belongs to Wannian County, and the west city belongs to Chang’an County.
The two county orders are only the official ranks on the zhengwupin, but the location in Gyeonggi is in charge of real power, which can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face, and it is no wonder that a steward in the palace is so stubborn.
The negotiations were all useless, and the middle-aged servant woman was so embarrassed that she only listened to the call of the person in the calf car, and the woman got into the car and lifted the curtain and came out, and she sadly instructed the coachman: “The second lady is worried about the old lady’s illness, and rushes back to the city to serve after the banquet. The
coachman responded, and the incense car reeled, gradually drifting away.
Bai Zhi looked at Teng Yuyi, as soon as the lady entered the forest, she was like a great enemy, even if she was curious, she did not dare to ask more, only wondering what the identity of those rich servants was, even the Wannian County Order was not in her eyes, and presumably it was already out of the forest, because at first she could still hear laughter and footsteps not far away, and gradually only Xiao Xiao’s wind sounded.
The still water is deep, and the quieter it is, the more eerie it is.
After walking for a while, she couldn’t tell the difference between east and west, north and south, Bai Zhi only felt that the back of her head was hairy, fortunately, she was followed by a Duanfu, this old slave had been sent to the niangzi by the old master since the age of three, and he was very loyal and loyal, he had been sent out by the niangzi earlier to find Du Tinglan, and now he followed them into the forest, and he was around to protect the niangzi, which finally made people feel at ease.
The air was cool and thick, slowly seeping into a hint of bitter smell, and the further you went, the more pungent the breath became. The three of them were suspicious, and a woman’s scream came from the forest, and the treetops clanged, as if some behemoth was flying overhead.
Bai Zhi was busy protecting Teng Yuyi, but Teng Yuyi whispered, “Duan Fu! ”
Yes!” Just listening to the sound of Zheng Ran, the blade of the blade was cold and forced, and Duan Fu drew his sword and flew out.
Teng Yuyi hurriedly chased after the skirt, and although the woman’s voice was short, it was clear that she was a cousin, but the giant creature was so angry that she didn’t know whether it was a human or an animal.
Ten million thoughts swirled through her mind, the murderer would not be the person who sealed the forest, if he wanted to kill people, why should he make a big publicity, and stop so many calves in public to prevent him from entering, which was tantamount to telling the world that he was a murderer.
According to her, the murderer was mostly hidden in the dark place in the forest, and because she was afraid of being secretly calculated, she was extremely defensive after entering the forest, and even if she knew that it was suddenly changing, it was even more strange than she expected.
The sharp weapon sounded, and Duan Fu had already exchanged hands with the thing, and the weapon used was made of the thousand-year-old Xuan Iron that his father had obtained when he was on the edge of the Green Ridge, splitting stones and cutting gold, indestructible.
Teng Yuyi was a little relieved in his heart, no matter what the murderer came from, it was rare to see Duan Fu lose his hand.
Bai Zhi was not lightly frightened, fortunately, the lantern in his hand was not lost, the master and servant two rushed a few steps, the trembling light and shadow spread forward, a shadow lying on the ground, vaguely a woman.
Teng Yuyi pulled out the jade sword in his sleeve and was about to run to the front, but he was pulled by a remnant of sanity and stopped to let Bai Zhi raise the lantern: “Look who that person is.”
Bai Zhi shivered and lit up the man.
“Red Slave?”
The red slave’s face was like gold paper, fortunately, there was still breath, Teng Yuyi squatted down to check, and asked urgently: “What about my cousin?” The
red slave coughed and opened his eyes, his expression was empty for a moment, and he scrambled to get up: “Lady! Wife!
This man was already frightened, Teng Yuyi was eager to attack his heart, and the lantern that had snatched Bai Zhi was about to get up, and there was a “bang-” behind him, and there was a heavy object crashingHitting the ground, only to hear Duan Fu snort, “Mother beware!” Teng Yuyi’s
mind was empty, how could Duan Fu lose his hand?
Before it was too late to turn back, a strange wind rushed from behind, and the wind was wrapped in a thick fragrance of grass and trees.
Hongnu and Bai Zhi’s pupils dilated violently, that thing came too quickly, before the two of them came to push Teng Yuyi away, the palm of the black shadow had already cung up on Teng Yuyi’s shoulder, just a hook and a pull, it was going to tear Teng Yuyi in half.
The monster struck a blow, and actually laughed strangely, the tone was soft and gentle, like a woman full of tenderness, Hongnu and Bai Zhi had a hard time summoning up the courage to come forward to help, hearing this terrible laughter, both of them were frightened and fainted.
Duan Fu climbed up and roared, as long as this thing closed its giant claws, Niangzi Yan had a life.
For a moment, the strength was fierce, the arm was already broken, and he forcibly grasped the handle of the sword, and just like this, he rose from the ground and swooped down like an eagle.
This trick has the power to open the mountain and split the stone, it will make the skin and flesh of the thing blossom, and the knife peak will be cut down, as if it is cut on the rock, “Gong Gong Gong”, splashing a slip of orange Mars, even the skin and flesh have not been cut.
The thing was extremely proud, the laughter was sweet for a few minutes, at first glance it sounded almost fifteen or sixteen years old, and it seemed that a vine had grown under the giant claw, and it slowly stroked Teng Yuyi’s neck.
Duan Fu’s heart was broken, and he was about to bump his shoulder, and the laughter like a silver bell in his ear suddenly turned into a scream.
Only to see Teng Yuyi holding the jade sword, viciously stabbing at the strange claw on his shoulder.
With each stab, the monster screamed strangely, as if it were suffering from the pain of the heart, screaming incomparably bitterly.
Duan Fu was so frightened that he forgot to take it, Teng Yuyi had forgotten to be afraid, he had imagined it a thousand times in his mind before coming, if he could catch the murderer of his cousin on the spot, he would definitely slash the person with a thousand knives, thinking that his cousin might still be in the hands of this thing, she was both fierce and fast.
After the tragic death of her cousin in the past life, her aunt also fell ill because of the heavy blows, and in just half a year, she lost her two most important relatives in succession, and it turned out that the disaster was all caused by this monster, and she hated that she could not eat its flesh and sleep on its skin.
It wasn’t enough to plunge into the flesh, Teng Yuyi smirked, like a mash sauce, and the tip of the sword stirred back and forth in the back of the monster’s claws.
The monster’s scream was raised a few points higher, helpless to move, “pounced” and a heavy object landed on the ground, and the woman was heard in the darkness humming in pain.
Teng Yuyi’s mind seemed to have a string plucked.
“Cousin!”
“It’s cousin! Quick, Good luck! Duan
Fu did not wait for the order, saw the opportunity to roll on the spot, fished Du Tinglan into the crook of his arm, jumped up and down, and took him away from the monster’s feet.
Teng Yu was about to stab again, but it was this distraction of work, the strength on his shoulder was suddenly light, and in the midst of the screams, the monster actually ripped off his giant claws.
In an instant, blood flowed like a pillar, and the smell of filthy breath shot straight into the sky.
The monster cried out in misery, like a woman with a broken heart, high into the treetops, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
The fire outside the forest shone brightly, and the footsteps came in a cacophony, and Madame Du rushed to the scene with her subordinates, “Lan’er, Yu’er!” Along
with this, there was also the group of rich servants who had just set up curtain tents outside the forest.
When everyone saw this situation, they all showed a look of surprise, not knowing what kind of magic the demon had done, and this earth-shattering fight, the forest did not hear half a sound.
A servant crouched down and picked up the monster’s fallen limbs, and without looking at the thing, it turned into a pile of black powder, and the man changed his face: “Go and pray to the son of the world.”
“Shizi just went down to bow, the key fell outside the Moon Lantern Pavilion, and so many people in the field competed, how to deliver him a message?”
“The King of Chun’an County is also on the riverside tonight, so I might as well ask His Highness the King of the County to find Shizi, the origin of the demon is unknown, and if you let it go, there will certainly be people who will suffer.”
Teng Yuyi was terrified, and hurriedly picked up his cousin to take a look, still unconscious, but fortunately his breathing stopped.
Teng Yuyi’s nose was sour and her eyes were hot, and in front of her was a beautiful face with fresh vitality, not the lifeless, puffy and gray face she had seen when she came from Yangzhou in the previous life.
For several days, she was trapped in a boat from Yangzhou to Chang’an, planning day and night how to avoid the same tragedy, and now that her cousin was alive in front of her, she had a feeling of the rest of her life.
Madame Du’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly pushed the maid away and rushed to her: “What happened?”
Teng Yuyi smelled the familiar incense on his aunt’s robe, and his throat seemed to be blocked with cotton, but when he looked up, he calmly said: “I and my cousin are playing here, who knows that I have met evil things.” Why her cousin came
out of the nunnery is still a mystery to her, there are too many people around, and she has to be scrupulous.
Mrs. Du’s mind turned extremely fast, seeing one daughter pass out, and the other daughter was not lightly frightened, and for a while she was afraid and frightened, and she rushed to put the two into her arms: “Good child, don’t be afraid.”
She looked around with trepidation, and ordered the next person in a stack of voices: “Quickly carry Yiniang to the calf cart and quickly return to the city to find a medical worker.” Teng Yuyi coveted
his aunt’s embrace, but there were still many things to take care of at the moment, and he got up to check Duan Fu’s injury, only to see that from his right shoulder down, the whole arm was blurred with blood and flesh.
Duan Fu was still silent, teng Yuyi was anxious, and asked the old coachman to help Duan Fu: “There is a golden creation medicine on the car, first stop the bleeding and then say.” Out of the
forest to settle Du Tinglan, just waiting to carry the red slave and Bai Zhi to the calf cart, only to see the horse’s hooves flying up in the dust, just now the group of servants went and returned, followed by the palace people dressed in yellow shirts.
The group rushed to the front: “Dare to ask if it is the calf car on General Teng’s palace, the villain is the chief attendant of the king of Chun’an County, His Highness heard about the matter of Fang Cai, in case anyone suffers again, let us rush to block the bamboo forest.”
“King Chun’an?” Mrs. Du opened the curtain, and she had already noticed that her daughter’s lips were dark, and it was her heart that was boiling.
“Not only a few people in the government, but also the calves of Dongming Province in Wannian County passed by here and were also hit, all of them were injured by evil things, and ordinary medical workers could not see it.” It just so happened that the Dao Commander was also playing in Qujiang tonight, and the King of the County had already gone to ask the Dao Commander to send the injured person to the Ziyun Building.
Teng Yuyi was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Lady Du’s hand: “Auntie, quickly carry the red slave Bai Zhi to the car according to the words of several palace people.” The cousin’s
breath was like gossamer, and Duan Fu’s face was also shrouded in a cloud of black qi, and he didn’t have to think about it to know that it was related to the demon, and if he didn’t heal it as soon as possible, his death would only be in the blink of an eye.
If she was not mistaken, this Daoist leader who could freely enter and leave the Ziyun Building was the innocent son who was lonely in temperament but was regarded as a benefactor by the saints today.
The height of this humanism is unparalleled in the sea.
