Chapter 20 Delivery (4,000)
The moonlight was bright and the torches were like dragons. The group soon arrived at Cheng's mansion.
When you enter the door, you will see a screen wall with a map of soldiers on the battlefield. A vast and solemn aura hits you. Not only that, there are only towering trees and towering rocks in the Cheng Mansion, no flowers and plants, and there is a simple and quaint everywhere.
The Dachun Dynasty had a Tianjun army, one was Zhennan and the other was Dingbei. The Zhennan army guarded the south of Nanshan Mountain and mainly resisted invasions in southern Xinjiang. Over the past thousand years, it had fought several battles with the Southern Xinjiang coalition forces in the Huangquan Desert, with golden swords and iron horses, and was famous. Although Mr. Cheng retreated from the Zhennan army, the iron blood on the battlefield was still there, and he did not like the elegant style of many flowers and trees.
Cheng Zhai was four times, Fang Xiaonian and the other two followed Li Zheng, passing through the corridor, and soon arrived at the main courtyard of the third entrance. As soon as he was admitted to the hospital, he met an old man with a yellow sandalwood medicine box hanging on his shoulder.
Cheng Kang asked, "Doctor Wang, what's the situation of my father?"
Doctor Wang shook his head and sighed: "I am incompetent. Master Cheng's situation is getting worse and worse. I am afraid that I will not be able to pass tonight. Please feel sorry for Mr. Cheng."
He bowed his hand and walked out of the yard.
Cheng Kang turned around and wanted to stay, but in the end he could only watch Doctor Wang leave, and then suddenly turned around and rushed towards Zhou Yuan. Zhou Yuan was very focused. When he heard Doctor Wang say this, he was already wary and hid behind Fang Xiaonian. Cheng Kang looked at Fang Xiaonian, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he was soon overwhelmed by anger and was about to attack Fang Xiaonian. At this moment, an old and gentle voice came: "Kang'er stopped."
Everyone looked at an elderly woman standing at the door of the house. Her eyes were slightly red and her tears were rolling, but she forced herself to prevent the tears from flowing down, just said, "Come in and see your father."
Cheng Kang quickly stepped forward and entered the house with the woman. Li Zheng and Fang Xiaonian and the other two followed behind. In the house, an old man with frosty hair was lying on the bed, closing his eyes and asleep. It was Cheng Wenshan, the master of the Cheng family. Cheng Kang and the woman stood by the bed and asked, "Mom, are there really no way?"
The woman looked at her husband on the bed, shook her head, and still held back her tears without crying. She knew that her husband had been strong all his life and did not like to hear crying, so she forced herself to endure it.
Li Zheng sighed, and the other party Xiaonian said, "You must believe what you have seen with your own eyes?"
Fang Xiaonian looked at Zhou Yuan, and Zhou Yuan shook his head and waved his hand: "It's not my business. The medicine I prescribed is just to help Mr. Cheng relieve depression. It is absolutely impossible that he took my medicine and became like this! Don't falsely accuse me!"
Cheng Kang turned around and pointed at Zhou Yuan angrily: "Who else is it that you are not you? My father suddenly became seriously ill after taking your medicine. Do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Mrs. Cheng pressed Cheng Kang's hand and said to Zhou Yuan: "Doctor Zhou, since that's the case, please diagnose Wenshan's pulse and see what the root causes are."
"Okay!" Zhou Yuan nodded, but pointed at Cheng Kang and said, "Then let him retreat several feet away and I'll go there again."
Mrs. Cheng handed Cheng Kang a look, and Cheng Kang reluctantly stepped aside, turned his head away and stopped looking. Zhou Yuan walked carefully to the bed to take the pulse for Cheng Wenshan.
...
Just as Zhou Yuan was cutting his pulse, a servant outside the door quietly slipped away and sneaked to the base of the wall of Sijinyuan. After confirming that there was no one around, he took out a note, formed a ball, and threw it out of the wall.
Outside the wall, a pair of hands picked up the paper ball, spread it out, and then quickly left.
Soon, the piece of paper followed the man to the west of the city and entered a mansion. The plaque of the house clearly stated the two big words "Lin Mansion".
Compared with the simplicity of Cheng's house, the Lin Mansion is much more elegant, with green bamboos, rockery flowing water, and the garden scenery is beautiful. The paper picker goes forward and quickly enters the deepest hall.
The hall is decorated with precious furnishing fragrance. A man sat on his head, wearing a brocade robe, with a clear face. He gently tapped the handrail with four fingers on his right hand, but there was only a little finger missing. This person was Lin Hongyang, the head of the Lin family. The person sitting in Lin Hongyang was a famous old man with a long beard with a deep and scented spirit. He placed a long-shelf sword on his knees and raised his hand to stroke his beard from time to time. This person was Qiu Changxing, a guest minister of the Lin family.
The paper picker lowered his head and reported: "Master, Cheng Wenshan can't live tonight."
Qiu Changxing looked at Lin Hongyang. Lin Hongyang looked back at him, stopped his fingers, squinted his eyes and asked his subordinates, "Take it serious?"
"It's true." The subordinate replied.
"Get back." Lin Hongyang waved.
After his subordinates stepped back, Lin Hongyang couldn't hide his joy and stood up excitedly, walked to the door of the hall, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Okay! After waiting for so many years, this old guy is finally going to die."
There are two major families in Anyi County, the Cheng family and the Lin family, but the two families have always been incompatible, and they are even incompatible.
Many years ago, Cheng Wenshan, who was still the son of the Cheng family, was full of energy and had no intention of managing the family business. He resolutely joined the army. He had not returned for many years and lost news. Everyone, including the Cheng family, thought he was dead. The Lin family, who had been suppressed by the Cheng family, bullied the Cheng family without anyone, and wanted to take the opportunity to swallow up all the Cheng family's business, forcing the Cheng family to go crazy. When the Cheng family was about to disperse, Cheng Wenshan came back.
Everyone then realized that he had been fighting against Chunhuang. Because he was injured on the battlefield, he had to retire and return home. After Cheng Wenshan knew what the Lin family did, he rushed to the Lin family before he even stepped in. With the cultivation level of the sixth level of Qi Refining, the Lin family made the Lin family overwhelmed and finally stepped on Lin Hongyang. In order to make Lin Hongyang remember the price of being involved in the Cheng family, he also cut off his little finger.
Although the Lin family and Jingtianwei had a close relationship, Cheng Wenshan was the one who helped Emperor Chun to resist the storm. Who dared to touch his edge? Therefore, the Lin family was so overwhelmed that they were afraid to show off. They could only watch Cheng Wenshan sway and leave.
In fact, in those days, Cheng Wenshan could have beaten the dog and drove the Lin family out of Anyi County. However, Cheng Wenshan was upright and did not bother to do such things. Later, he took over the family business and did not suppress and exclude the Lin family. It was just that the well water did not interfere with the river, so he gave the Lin family a chance to survive.
Sixteen years ago, Emperor Chun was accused of colluding with southern Xinjiang and eventually died in Zhenwu Mountain. Cheng Wenshan helped Emperor Chun to resist this glorious identity, which faded. In addition, Lin Hongyang's son was successful and his talent in cultivation was not enough to enter the academy, but he was accepted as an inner disciple by the famous Fengyang Sect of Ningyuan Mansion. One was rising and the other was declining. Lin Hongyang gradually gained power. Lin Hongyang wanted to take revenge, but in the end he was afraid of Cheng Wenshan's remaining power. After all, over the years, Cheng Wenshan had long changed from the sixth level of Qi refining to the tenth level of Qi refining, which was definitely difficult to deal with.
But now Cheng Wenshan is dying of illness, and the Cheng family is about to turn into fish on the chopping board and let him slaughter.
Qiu Changxing stroked his long beard and said, "Without Cheng Wenshan, the only one that the Cheng family can see is Li Zheng, which is not to be afraid."
Lin Hongyang turned around, nodded, and looked at his right hand that had lost his little finger. His eyes were filled with the pleasure of revenge: "We will go to the Cheng family now and give it to Cheng Wenshan."
...
...
Inside Cheng's house.
After Zhou Yuan cut the pulse of half an incense stick, he let go of the fingers that were resting on Cheng Wenshan's wrist, frowned and shook his head.
"What's wrong?" asked Mrs. Cheng.
"Strange, it's really strange..."
Zhou Yuan said: "Mr. Cheng's organs are intact, but the qi is still like a candle, as if he is about to breathe a candle. This is very abnormal. In my opinion, it is because the depression in his heart is congested and does not dissolve, which leads to poor qi and blood, and both mind and mind, which aggravates the old diseases in previous years. The medicine I prescribed for Mr. Cheng today was originally able to relieve depression and relieve some. I never thought it would be useless on Mr. Cheng. At this moment, the depression in his heart became more concentrated. You can imagine how stubborn his depression was. Mrs. Cheng, I didn't ask in detail today, and I don't know why Mr. Cheng was depressed? I hope the wife would say it clearly."
Mrs. Cheng looked at Cheng Wenshan's quiet face and took a deep breath and said, "Although Wenshan has an old disease, she has always been strong and vigorous. It was only sixteen years ago that the late emperor was accused of colluding with southern Xinjiang and finally died in Zhenwu Mountain. Wenshan once helped the late emperor fight against the silence. After learning the news, Wenshan was furious and angry, but he had no choice but to sigh to the sky. Since then, his body has become weaker and weaker."
Fang Xiaonian and Fu Yingyue glanced at each other.
Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "It should be this thing that is pressing on Mr. Cheng's heart. Every day, it is like a fire burning, and it becomes a disease."
Cheng Kang shouted: "Don't talk about the topic. My father suddenly became critically ill today because he took your medicine, so you can't argue!"
Just as Cheng Kang was about to rush towards Zhou Yuan, a sudden sound of fighting came from outside. Everyone immediately left the house. They saw that all the guards in the courtyard had fallen to the ground, trying to force themselves to stand up but couldn't get up, and the swords and torches were scattered in a mess. Two figures stood proudly in the courtyard, one of whom had a long beard and held a long sword, and the other looked cold, with a finger missing in his right hand. It was Lin Yuanxi and Qiu Changxing. Lin Yuanxi was still stepping on a guard under his feet. The guard struggled desperately, but was trampled and pressed to move.
After Lin Hongyang saw Cheng Kang, he kicked his feet and the guards under his feet rolled to Cheng Kang's feet. Cheng Kang helped the guards up and asked, "Lin Hongyang! You are so brave! You dare to come to my Cheng family to act wildly!"
Lin Hongyang smiled and said, "Your father is about to die. As an old friend, how could I not send him a trip?"
"Damn it!"
Cheng Kang was furious and rushed straight to Lin Hongyang with his fist.
"Rich child."
Lin Hongyang waved his sleeves and a powerful wind blew Cheng Kang backwards. Lin Hongyang, Qiu Changxing and Li Zheng both had the eighth level of Qi Refining cultivation. Cheng Kang, who was the third level of Qi Refining Cheng Kang, was naturally vulnerable.
Li Zheng jumped into the air, caught Cheng Kang, and landed safely. He protected Cheng Kang behind him, looked at Lin Hongyang and Qiu Changxing, and snorted coldly: "You two turtles shrank. When Mr. Cheng was in good health, you didn't dare to let one of them go. Now that he is ill, you will jump out to show off your evil spirit. It's so majestic!"
Lin Hongyang's eyes were cold and he said, "Li Zheng, the tree in the Cheng family is about to fall tonight. I advise you to be more aware of it. If you leave now, I will never stop you, otherwise you will not be able to leave even if you want to."
Li Zheng laughed to the sky, as if he heard a huge joke, and then said proudly: "Although I, Li Zheng, are not a member of the Cheng family, are just guests who use money to do things, they are definitely not sluts and cannot do anything to throw away."
He clenched his fists, and his joints sounded, saying, "If you two want to move the Cheng family, you must first ask if my fists agree!"
Qiu Changxing stepped forward, pushed his thumb, revealing a cold light, and sneered: "Li Zheng, since you don't know how to lift up, let me cut off your fists!"
"Shadowless!"
Li Zheng shouted: "You old man, don't shout when I pull down your beard one by one later!"
Li Zheng jumped and snatched Qiu Changxing near. His fists were like dragons going out to sea, and they hit out fiercely. The fists were so powerful that they twisted the space. Qiu Changxing floated back, and as he stepped back, his hands were split, and his sword was unsheathed. His wrists were shaking, as if he used the sword body as a paintbrush, using the sword energy as ink, drawing a circle surrounded by clouds, colliding with Li Zheng's fierce fist force and dissipated together.
Qiu Changxing's body suddenly stopped, and he rose up with everyone's eyes. His clothes fluttered, his long beards flew, and his long sword in his hand was pointed like an arm, and countless sword energy fell towards Li Zheng like rain.
Li Zheng held his fist with both hands, poured his true energy into his body, and punched him towards the sky. For a moment, there were countless shadows on his head, as if there were countless arms, and they smashed the sword energy into pieces.
The stone slab under Li Zheng's feet sank, and he soared into the sky and punched out with a punch. The fist was like a dragon and rushed towards Qiu Changxing. Qiu Changxing's body turned around and avoided it dangerously. Li Zheng's fist hit the trunk behind the tree. The big tree that the two hugged each other suddenly shook, and the leaves fell.
Qiu Changxing's figure was churning and swung his sword. The sword antelope hung its horns, and there was no trace to be found. It slashed silently at Li Zheng's back. Li Zheng felt the chill behind him and was about to turn up when a hand suddenly appeared in front of him.
Lin Hongyang's hand.
Li Zheng's face changed, and he quickly raised his fists to greet him. The fists and palms were touching each other. Li Zheng and Lin Hongyang each took several steps back to equalize the situation, but Li Zheng missed the opportunity to dodge. Qiu Changxing's sword energy swept across Li Zheng's back and brought out a string of blood.
Qiu Changxing landed on the ground, stood with Lin Hongyang, and looked at Li Zheng with a smile.
"Despicable villain!"
Li Zheng endured the severe pain in his back and gritted his teeth and cursed. He, Qiu Changxing and Lin Hongyang, were both practitioners of the eighth level of Qi Refining, rather than gangsters. No matter who he faced with, he should have one against one, but he never thought that the other party was shameless and seriously injured him when he was not careful.
At this time, Li Zheng's back was burning and everyone behind him could see Li Zheng's back had broken clothes, stained with blood, and a deep bone-scar could be seen vaguely. It was shocking from his left shoulder to his right waist.
Cheng Kang looked solemn. While worried about Li Zheng's safety, he was also desperate. His father was seriously ill and Li Zheng was injured so much. How should the Cheng family resist Qiu Changxing and Lin Hongyang? Could it be that the Cheng family is really going to overturn today?
Lin Hongyang turned to Qiu Changxing and said, "Slice off his fist."
Qiu Changxing stabbed Li Zheng with a sword.
At this moment, a figure passed from behind over Li Zheng's head and landed in front of Li Zheng. He clamped Qiu Changxing's sword tip with both fingers, twisted it hard, and the sword body was broken.
When Qiu Changxing was shocked, he was kicked by this man, his back was ripped and a footprint raised.
