chapter 126 true disease

After entering the city from outside the gate, the Heavenly Sect had already found an inn to settle in.

Zhang Zhe and Feng Mingyu arrived earlier and were already sitting in the hall.

Huang Qian entered with Jiang Xuening, but his expression was somewhat strange, especially when his gaze caught sight of Zhang Zhe.

Both sides exchanged a few pleasantries, and Feng Mingyu looked left and right, feeling that Huang Qian's gaze at Zhang Zhe was not right. He gave him a wink and called the person aside, frowning and asking him, "What's wrong with you? We're just suspecting him now, how could you be so obvious? If he weren't an insider and you let him know that we suspect, wouldn't even Mr. Du Jun have offended him? Did you ask something?"

What did you ask?

Don't mention this, Huang Qian's whole body is not good.

He said to himself that I don't want to look at Zhang Zhe like that either.

But who would have thought that looking at such a dignified and strict gentleman outside, there would be such a thing happening with one's own sister inside!

It's simply not as good as a beast!

Although Huang Qian is a person from the martial arts world, he also knows the word "etiquette and law". After enduring it, he couldn't help but say, "Mr. Feng, please listen to me..."

The two of them muttered to each other.

Feng Mingyu's face changed several times.

Jiang Xuening, on the other hand, had no burden at all. Recalling the expression on Huang Qian's face when he heard him say "brother sister elope" just now, he couldn't help but laugh.

She clapped her hands and looked at the inn with ease.

It's already late at night entering Tongzhou City.

When they walked through the city, most of the shops were closed, and only a few were still braving the cold wind, peddling Wonton dumplings. The journey was very deserted, except for the bustling Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion in the distance, which could not be compared to the capital city.

This inn also exudes a hint of poverty.

The paint on the door has fallen off quite a bit, and the decorations are all very old. There are no other decorations hanging, except for the sight of it approaching the end of the year. The lintel and stairs are all pasted with bright red blessing paper, but it exudes a warm and enthusiastic feeling in this cold winter.

Tongzhou is obviously an important stronghold of the Heavenly Cult. After entering this inn, the people of the Heavenly Cult have obviously relaxed a lot, sitting down to eat wine and talking.

The shopkeeper warmly welcomed them without asking their identities.

Fortunately, there were very few guests during this season and no one else noticed.

Zhang Zhe is not blind. When he met everyone again after passing through the city gate, he felt that Huang Qian's gaze was not right, but on the contrary, Jiang Xuening looked ordinary.

At this moment, Huang Qian and Feng Mingyu went over to talk, and he pulled Jiang Xuening over.

The expression on his face became somewhat serious.

Zhang Zhe frowned and asked her, "What did Huang Qian ask you on the way?"

Jiang Xuening put her hands on her back and looked obedient, saying honestly, "What is the relationship between Mr. Zhang and me? Why did Mr. Zhang take me with such a dangerous action?"

This was as expected by Zhang Zhe.

He asked again, "What do you say?"

Jiang Xuening became shy and bit her lips lightly, but secretly looked at Zhang Zhe's expression. She saw that Zhang Zhe's strict and rigid demeanor was no different from the previous life, but instead aroused more and more teasing and teasing thoughts. She blinked her eyes and whispered, "I'll tell Huang Xiangzhu..."

She finished speaking.

Zhang Zhe's mind went blank for a moment.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, unable to react.

Jiang Xuening thought he didn't hear clearly, so she leaned over and wanted to repeat it. Her voice was louder than before, saying, "I just said we're siblings."

Before the word "Ben" could be spoken, Zhang Zhe's face had changed. As she was very close to her, she raised her hand and covered her mischievous mouth. The two long eyebrows were already cold and solemn, with a hint of anger, and she scolded, "Nonsense!"

On a cold winter day, his palms were warm.

Jiang Xuening's slightly cool cheeks absorbed his warmth, while her moist lips clung vaguely to his palm. For a moment, she wanted to extend her tongue to lick him and see if he dared to cover her mouth.

But Zhang Zhe, this old antique, is afraid to be scared to death by her.

So this idea took a deep turn in my heart, but ultimately it was not put into practice. She just stared at him with a seemingly innocent wink.

Zhang Zhe then realized that his actions were inappropriate, and immediately wanted to let go of her. However, before letting go, he warned her with a stern face, "Don't talk nonsense anymore." When he saw her blink and agree, he finally let go.

Jiang Xuening pretended not to know what she had done and said, "Am I wrong?"

Her expression appears to be fake at first glance.

Zhang Zhe looked at her without any hint of joking and said, "Miss Er is going to get married in the future. The reputation of her daughter's family is not bad. What kind of nonsense is it?"

What style do you want?

Anyway, she doesn't want to marry anyone else either.

The phrase "If others don't marry me in the future, you can marry me" was on the tip of my tongue, and I was about to say it out. However, in the end, I was afraid that he would become even more unhappy if he was provoked by me, so I endured it.

Standing in front of Zhang Zhe, she lowered her head in grievances and softly defended herself, "What can they say? I can't think of any other excuses for a while. What if something goes wrong?"

Zhang Zhe knows how clever her brain is.

At present, knowing that she was pretending to be wronged, Zhang Zhe held his breath in his heart and couldn't come out for some reason. He only forced himself to swallow it, but instead felt a burning pain in his heart.

For a moment, he looked at her without saying anything.

Jiang Xue stared at her tiptoes calmly, waiting for him to get angry, but didn't hear any sound for a long time. She looked up and met a pair of clear and slightly restrained eyes, her heart suddenly froze, and she remembered when her past life had disappointed him.

She has always been heartless, but she suddenly became a bit flustered.

The thought of teasing him suddenly dissipated, but she was a bit scared. She carefully reached out and grabbed his hem, admitting her mistake in a soft voice, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I won't say anything from now on. I'll say whatever you ask me to say!"

Zhang Zhe remained silent for no reason.

The hand that tugged at the corner of his clothes seemed to tug at his heart.

He thought, how could he get angry with her?

He lowered his eyes and paused for a moment. He just said, "They're starting to suspect me. I'm going to the branch tomorrow. You'll pretend to be sick tonight and go to the Yongding Pharmacy to see a doctor at dawn. There should also be someone looking for a girl in the capital, and the court will send someone to escort you."

Pretend to be sick tonight and leave tomorrow morning.

Jiang Xuening was stunned for a moment, holding onto the corner of his clothes and unwilling to let go. Subconsciously, she wanted to ask, "So what do you do?"

At this moment, Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian had already walked over.

She had no choice but to give up.

Obviously, he had already learned something from Huang Qian. Feng Mingyu's originally worldly smile was a bit forced, and a pair of eyes looked at Jiang Xuening and Zhang Zhe. Unexpectedly, they found that they were also very talented and beautiful.

Unfortunately

Surprisingly, they are siblings.

Right now, one is holding onto the other's hem, and it's too close. Isn't that a bit of a conclusion?

It's a waste of him to come all the way and still think that Zhang Zhe is indeed a righteous person. Unexpectedly

One cannot judge by appearance.

However, compared to the nonsense that Zhang Zhe said, "My younger sister happens to be going to Tongzhou City," it is obvious that "siblings elope" is more convincing.

Feng Mingyu naturally didn't want to be picky. He assumed that Zhang Zhe also had a hard time expressing himself, so he just bowed his hand and asked Zhang Zhe to come to the upstairs guest room to discuss the matter together.

Zhang Zhe agreed.

Just on the way upstairs, I remembered Jiang Xuening and Huang Qian talking nonsense, unwilling to damage her reputation. It was inevitable that I had to clarify a few words with Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian. However, both Feng and Huang said, "It's okay, I've never misunderstood. Your siblings are innocent and innocent." They looked very understanding of Zhang Zhe, but on the contrary, they left Zhang Zhe completely speechless. They understood that no matter how much they said, it was useless, and they would only get darker and darker.

In the end, we can only remain silent again.

Jiang Xuening couldn't follow them up to discuss the matter. She only watched Zhang Zhe's figure disappear around the corner downstairs before turning around and wanting to order something to eat at the inn.

===Kunning Section 164===

Just that little treasure with a towering braid seems to have already looked at her.

As soon as he saw her turn around, he quickly waved to her at a table, smiled and called her closely, "Sister, come here, there is hot soup and Roast squab!"

Jiang Xuening only felt that this child had taken good care of herself all the way.

Sometimes handing water and sometimes dry food, although I always felt that the dark ink in the other person's hand on the night I first met was somewhat suspicious, it was not easy to refuse. So I sat over and thanked him, "Thank you."

The cold star is in the sky, and the north wind sobs.

Duke of Dingguo Xiao Yuan led a massive team of people and horses to hurry and finally arrived outside the city of Tongzhou.

The vanguard is stalling outside the city and coming up to report.

Young Xiao Ye also wore a sword and rode on a horse, looking at the dark city nearby. He couldn't help but laugh and feel proud, saying, "It's still my father who is wise. As the saying goes, wealth moves people's hearts, and the rich push the wheels. What kind of righteous person in the Heavenly Sect can even spit out his own nest position without giving him a hundred and eighty taels of silver! This time we have so many people, taking these chaotic gangs is like catching a turtle in a jar, easy to catch!"

"Hahaha..."

Xiao Yuan had not led troops to war for many years, but this time he found out the attire of his own general. He comforted his beard and laughed, saying, "This time, it's not a big deal to disrupt the party. What's important is to take this opportunity to show loyalty and perform meritorious deeds in front of the Holy Master, which is why he wants to be ahead of Master Xie. It's not that I can't stand this person, it's really important. Ye Er, do you know what's outside of Tongzhou City?"

He reached out and pointed towards the southeast direction.

Xiao Ye looked in the direction of his fingers, and although he didn't see anything under the pitch black sky, he replied, "It's the Tongzhou Camp with 100000 soldiers."

Xiao Yuan's gaze sharpened with a pair of sharp eyes.

He looked in that direction, like an eagle that was devouring people. He was anxiously trying to reach out his claws and said, "When that old man Yan Mu falls down, there will be no more Brave Marquis's Mansion. There is a shortage of a general to command the 100000 troops in Tongzhou Camp, and the Holy Emperor is also considering it. But as you know, the court has some criticism towards the Xiao family, and the Empress Dowager is not too inclined to help, so there must be a reasonable reason for everything.". At present, it is an extremely urgent situation. The destruction of the Tianjiao Tongzhou Branch and the killing of those who should be arrested and killed are the first achievements made! "

Xiao Ye was a playboy, and upon hearing these words, he couldn't hold back any longer. He immediately became excited and said, "Then let's go into the city and kill him for fun?"

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "This is not urgent."

Then he waved his hand and called for the soldiers behind him to dismount and repair, saying, "Don't worry, when tomorrow the two groups of people from the Heavenly Sect and the villains who escaped from the prison gather together, let's catch them all together and do this matter well."

Xiao Ye immediately said, "My father is still very clever!"

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but think of the magnificent scene when he alone held the power of the three armies, so he laughed proudly.

Jiang Xuening's body is delicate and her meat is expensive. She is used to living a good life and has been unable to sleep well on the road for days. After arriving at this inn, she finally relaxed a bit. It was rare for her to eat more of the wine and vegetables prepared here.

After Xiaobao finished greeting her, she leaned over and played with the Tianjiao group of people.

She remembered Zhang Zhe's words just now, her mind turned, and she went upstairs to figure out a way to pretend to be sick.

When she was a child in the countryside, she had seen many wandering doctors and had memorized a lot of miscellaneous things in her mind.

A deceitful Taoist once taught her a trick.

Holding a potato under my armpit, I couldn't feel my pulse, as if I had a strange disease.

Jiang Xuening thought to herself that she couldn't bear to let go of her child. She had to pretend to be sick and act more like a wolf. She got up first, bolted the door, took off her warm coat, opened the tightly closed window, and stood on the air blowing in. In no time, her face was pale and trembling; Then, listening to the noisy and lascivious people outside dispersing, he lightly opened the door and slipped downstairs to find the kitchen behind the inn.

In the late night, the surroundings fell silent.

Although I don't know which branch of the Heavenly Sect will leave Tongzhou, those people are going tomorrow and have some reservations about it tonight. They didn't make it very late and went to rest.

Only room one with the Tianzi sign is still lit.

Perhaps Zhang Zhe is still talking to Huang Qian and Feng Mingyu.

The layout of inns in the world is similar.

Jiang Xuening cautiously touched the kitchen, held her breath, looked left and right at no one, then reached out her hand and slowly pushed open the two doors. She dodged lightly and entered, then closed the doors.

There was a hint of alcohol wafting in the air.

It's normal to have alcohol in the kitchen.

She didn't care.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, a strong force came from the back of her neck, and a strong and powerful palm grabbed her tightly. The other hand quickly covered her lips and pushed her onto the door leaf!

Jiang Xuening was scared half to death!

However, through the dim light in the crack of the door that was not tightly closed, she suddenly recognized it with a flash in her mind——

It's Meng Yang!

His eyes were gloomy, and his lips were tightly pursed, his face full of solemnity. However, the skin under his palms was slippery and too soft, which made him realize that he was a woman. His eyebrows furrowed unconsciously, and he recognized her as soon as he thought about it: "It's you?"

Jiang Xuening felt dangerous when he first saw this person in prison.

However, not long ago, when the bonfire bystander listened to this person talk about the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, he looked at him with some admiration and dared not speak at the moment, only nodding.

Meng Yang's hair was messy. After looking at her for a moment, he realized that she didn't have any intention of shouting, so he let go of her and said, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Xuening lied, "When you're hungry, come find something to eat."

Meng Yang sneered, not knowing if he believed it or not, and turned around in the dark and picked up a wine jar on the stove to drink.

Jiang Xuening knew it was a misunderstanding.

The other party was just looking for a drink in the middle of the night.

She also found it difficult to talk to this person, and thought about being alone next to her. She was hesitant about finding something, so she hesitated in her actions. In the extremely weak light, she touched a potato, hesitating and hesitant to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yang glanced at her in the darkness, his eyes flickering with sharp light, and he said, "Even a lady from a wealthy family knows this kind of martial arts trick. You should pretend to be sick?"

Jiang Xuening's hair stood on end!

Meng Yang, however, indulged in drinking without paying attention to others and said, "You guys all have your own thoughts and can sing big plays now. Take the potatoes and leave quickly, don't hinder the master's drinking."

Jiang Xuening's shock turned into shock.

After thinking for a moment, she realized that this person was indeed acting strangely, and it didn't seem like he was going to form a gang with the Heavenly Sect. He should be the kind of rogue figure in the martial arts world who wouldn't accept anyone. He just put this potato in his sleeve and wanted to leave.

Just before turning around, my footsteps paused again.

Jiang Xuening turned to look at the shadow in the darkness, considering the idea that had just come to her mind, but hesitated a bit.

After his wife's death, he lived like a walking corpse in the world. After killing his family, he felt no remorse at all, but was imprisoned without much alcohol.

Mr. Xie in the capital often sends people to deliver wine to him.

But Meng Yang knew that the wine given by someone who seemed like a good person was often not drinkable, so he never touched a drop.

He chuckled inexplicably and saw that Jiang Xuening was not leaving. He said, "Are you pretending to be sick to get away? So what, Mr. Zhang is your lover and we're not going together?"

Jiang Xuening said, "It's because he's not leaving that I'm wondering if I can ask Lord Meng for a favor."

Meng Yang, however, also comes from a wealthy family, but no one has called him "Meng Gongzi" for a long time.

He found it interesting and said, "You two are a bitter duck."

Jiang Xuening thought to herself that if she and Zhang Zhe were really bitter lovers, it would be worth it. There was no need for them to be reborn in vain, but for her, Zhang Zhe and others were ultimately the bright moon in the sky. Standing on the highest building, she could only touch the light with her hand.

She was feeling down, but she didn't deny that she was full of affection.

Only said, "I do have an interest in Lord Zhang. I heard that Young Master Meng was also from an excellent family back then, and committed a serious crime in order to avenge his wife. I heard what you said earlier for the Brave Marquis's Mansion by the campfire, and I don't think you are really a ruthless person. I also heard that you are skilled in martial arts, and I don't know what danger you will face tomorrow, so I dare to ask you to ensure his safety. However, I don't know what I can do for you..."

Do you actually want to invite a repeat offender like him to protect the court's officials?

Meng Yang almost burst out laughing.

However, looking at the girl in front of me with a sincere expression, I remembered someone who had treated him sincerely a long time ago. So I fell silent and remembered Zhang Zhe along the way. After a long time, I suddenly said, "You are willing to be that Zhang, but what if he hides something from you?"

His deceased wife also hid many things that she never told him.

Later on, he realized that those were all hardships.

Jiang Xuening didn't expect Meng Yang to ask such a question, only feeling confused and extremely strange.

What can Zhang Zhe keep from her?

For Zhang Zhe now, she may just be a mischievous young lady who constantly causes trouble for him. She has a headache and is not easy to say a few words. She was originally unfamiliar. She didn't know that many things about Zhang Zhe were normal, but Zhang Zhe was honest and there was no deliberate "concealment".

She said, "How could that be?"

Meng Yang gave a strange smile.

But she didn't say anything afterwards, neither agreeing nor explicitly refusing.

Jiang Xuening waited for a while without hearing back from him, so she held her breath and stomped her feet before leaving.

Carrying the potato, she slipped back upstairs and lay down with her clothes.

I had planned to sleep for a while, but tomorrow morning at dawn, I pretended to be sick according to the plan. But who would have thought that when I slept until the latter half of the night, I felt a chilly sensation all over my body, a cramp in my abdomen, and woke her up feeling uncomfortable. Cold sweat broke out from my forehead, and I felt like I had a bad illness!

Just standing in front of the window and blowing the wind, at most it was a bit cold. How could it suddenly be like this?

She stumbled up, only to find that her limbs were weak.

No

Not pretending to be sick, it's a real illness!

Jiang Xuening felt a chilling fear in her heart. She took two steps, but accidentally bumped into a cup and fell to the ground with a "snap" sound. In the silence before dawn, it spread far and wide, startling people nearby.

In no time, someone knocked on the door outside, and it was Zhang Zhe's voice: "How are you?"

Jiang Xuening wanted to speak, but her throat was hoarse.

So with a loud bang, someone kicked the door open, and three or five people walked in together. Among them was Xiaobao, who had previously called her for dinner. Seeing her pale face, Xiaobao shouted, "What's wrong with sister? What's wrong with you?"
