Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 2

[chapter 2]

Thinking back to Teng Yuyi’s eyes just now, Bai Zhi secretly pinched her sweat. With the temperament of a lady’s revenge, she could not guarantee that she would not settle the account with the servant girl.

“Ma’am, do you know the master of that servant girl?”

Teng Yuyi ordered Bai Zhi to light the lantern, and she knew more than she knew. Three months later, Duan Ningyuan, the eldest son of Duke Zhen Guo, suddenly came to her and quit her relationship, precisely for the sake of the people in the cart. Dong Erniang.

I remember that everyone was surprised when they heard the news, and the father was even more frightened and angry, and the old man of Zhen Guo couldn’t bear his face, so he tied his son to plead guilty.

“If Grandpa doesn’t feel relieved, add another hundred to make it.” In the

foggy rain, the young man in the dark-colored t-shirt knelt upright in front of the court, posing as if he would rather die than look back.

Duke Zhen Guo was so angry that he was so angry that he grabbed the whip and personally gagged.

“This old man will kill this man today!”

Father watched coldly, until Duke Zhen Guo beat Duan Ningyuan half to death before opening his mouth: “It’s not my son’s fault to break off the marriage for no reason. If the story goes out, it will inevitably lead to street discussions, but if I hear half a sentence of accusing Yuer, don’t blame me Teng Shao for being ruthless!” After that, he

tore up the “Intermarriage Letter” and “Marriage Answer Letter” in public, and expelled the dying Duan Ningyuan. the government.

When it was mentioned in the public at first, everyone was surprised that Duan Ningyuan would do such an unethical thing, but as time went by, other explanations gradually came out.

Duan Ningyuan is recognized as a virtuous gentleman, and he is willing to carry the world’s infamy to do this, it must be because Teng Shao’s daughter has a bad virtue.

I heard that this little lady has a different appearance, with a face like a flower, but her temperament is extremely cunning.

This set of rhetoric intensified, and it didn’t take long for it to reach Teng Shao’s ears. How important a woman’s reputation is, who would dare to propose marriage to the Teng family in the future.

But before Teng Shao came back from Huainan Road to do it himself, General Duan Xiaojun was caught by someone because of his rendezvous with Dong Erniang.

It was an autumn shooting ceremony, and the banquet guests were almost all princes and nobles. The place was in Leyouyuan, and there was a long-abandoned Buddhist temple nearby. I don’t know who said that there were strange flowers in bloom in the temple, which aroused everyone’s interest at once. .

Everyone went to have fun, but unfortunately, General Duan met with the two thousand gold members of Dong Mingfu in Wannian County.

Dong Erniang wore a man’s beard for the convenience of traveling, but she couldn’t hide her tenderness.

Dong Erniang burst into tears, Duan Ningyuan comforted her warmly, but the two were respectful, but everyone could see Duan Ningyuan’s admiration and care for Dong Erniang.

This incident caused an uproar, and the two made plans, showing that they had long been in contact. General Duan’s character was praised by everyone, and he broke up the marriage contract because he fell in love with another woman.

There were so many rude speculations about the little lady of the Teng family earlier, but General Duan did not defend a word, even if it was not affectionate, after all, she had signed a marriage contract, and only cared about the person she loved, but let the little lady of the Teng family be slandered by others. heart.

For a while, people made excuses, some disgusted what Duan Ningyuan did, some accused Dong Erniang of being frivolous and flirtatious.

That night, Teng Yuyi was lying on Hu’s bed, calmly drinking Shi Dongchun from the wine cup.

She has no interest in who Duan Ningyuan wants to fly with, but because of her own selfishness, she is trying to compensate her, which is too deceiving.

Duan Ningyuan is a very cautious person. In order to set up this situation, she did not know how much thought she had put into it. Finally, when the day came when the two of them were ruined, how could she not drink too much.

***The

servant girl saw that Teng Yuyi and the others entered smoothly, and also stepped forward to discuss it, but all the noble servants just stopped outside the forest and would not let them go no matter what.

The servant girl’s voice is not small, Bai Zhi listened to a few words in front, only then did she know that the servant girl was the steward’s wife of Dong Ming’s house in Wannian County.

Although Baizhi is in Yangzhou all the year round, it is also known that Chang’an City is divided into two counties, Dongcheng belongs to Wannian County, and Xicheng belongs to Chang’an County.

The magistrates of the two counties are only on the official rank of the fifth rank, but they are located in Gyeonggi and hold real power.

Negotiations were all in vain, the middle-aged servant woman was so embarrassed, she heard a call from the person in the cart, the woman got on the cart and lifted the curtains out, and angrily ordered the coachman: “Second mother is worried about the old lady’s illness, In a hurry to go back to the city after the banquet to serve, don’t waste your time here, and make a detour.” The

driver answered, and the incense chariot drove further and further away.

Bai Zhi looked at Teng Yuyi. As soon as the lady entered the forest, she was like a great enemy. No matter how curious she was, she didn’t dare to ask any more questions. She only wondered what the identities of those noble servants were, not even the magistrate of Wannian County. In his eyes, and he must have left the forest, because at first, he could hear laughter and footsteps not far away, and gradually only the bleak and bleak wind remained.

The still water is deep, and the quieter it is, the more eerie it is.

After walking for a while, she could not tell the difference between east, west, north and south. Bai Zhi only felt hair on the back of her head. Fortunately, there was Duanfu by her side. This old slave has been sent by the master to the wife since she was three years old. She is very skilled and loyal. I went out to find Du Tinglan, and now I followed them into the woods. With him by my side to protect my wife, it was finally reassuring.

The air was cold and thick, slowly infiltrating a bitter smell, and the further you went, the more pungent the breath became. The three of them were full of doubts, and suddenly there was a woman’s scream in the forest, and the treetops rustled, as if some behemoth flew over their heads.

Bai Zhi was cold all over her body and was busy trying to protect Teng Yuyi, but Teng Yuyi shouted in a low voice: ”

Duanfu!”

Teng Yuyi put on her skirt and hurriedly chased after her. Although the woman’s cry was short, it was clearly her cousin, but when the giant passed away, she was so angry that she didn’t know whether it was a human or an animal.

Thousands of thoughts ran through her mind, the murderer would not be someone from Feng Lin, if he wanted to kill, why would he make a big deal of it, blocking so many chariots in public was tantamount to telling the world that he was the murderer.

In her opinion, most of the murderers were hiding in the dark in the woods. For fear of being plotted against them, she took great precautions after entering the woods, but the sudden changes were even more bizarre than she expected.

The sharp weapon was clanging, and Duanfu had already fought against that thing. The weapon he used was made of the thousand-year-old black iron his father obtained when he was guarding the green hills.

Teng Yuyi felt a little at ease, no matter what the murderer’s background was, it was rare for Duanfu to miss.

Bai Zhi was quite frightened, but fortunately, the lantern in his hand was not thrown away. The master and servant hurried a few steps, and the trembling light and shadow were scattered forward, and a shadow lay on the ground, vaguely a woman.

Teng Yuyi pulled out the jade sword in his sleeve, and was about to run to him. He was pulled by the remaining sense of reason, and stopped to let Bai Zhi raise the lantern: “Look who that person is.”

Bai Zhi shivered and illuminated the person.

“Hong slave?”

Hong slave’s face was like golden paper, but fortunately there was still breath, Teng Yuyi squatted down to check, and asked anxiously, “Where is my cousin?”

Hong slave coughed and opened her eyes, her expression was blank for a moment, panicked. She got up on her feet: “Madam! Madam!”

The maid was so frightened that Teng Yuyi was in a hurry. She was about to get up after grabbing Baizhi’s lantern, when there was a “bang” behind her, and a heavy object hit the ground. Fu groaned: “Be careful, madam!”

Teng Yuyi’s mind was empty, how could Duanfu miss?

Before there was time to turn around, a strange wind rushed from behind, and the wind was wrapped in a thick fragrance of grass and trees.

The pupils of Hongnu and Baizhi suddenly dilated, the thing came too fast, before the two of them came to push Teng Yuyi away, Hei Ying’s palm was already on Teng Yuyi’s shoulder. two halves.

When the monster succeeded, it actually laughed strangely, with a soft and sweet tone, like a woman full of tenderness, Hongnu and Baizhi finally summoned up the courage to step forward to help, and when they heard the terrifying laughter, they both fainted in fright. land.

Duanfu got up and let out a roar, as long as this thing gathers its giant claws, the lady will have no life.

For a while, his strength was quite strong, his arm had already broken, and he forcibly grasped the hilt of the knife.

This move has the power to open up mountains and split rocks, and it will definitely make that thing bloom. Unexpectedly, when the knife peak is chopped down, it is like chopped on a rock. “Qiangqiangqiang”, splashing orange sparks, even the flesh is not chopped. break.

That thing was extremely proud, and the laughter was a little sweeter. At first glance, it sounded like a charming girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. It seemed that vines had grown under the giant claws, and slowly caressed Teng Yuyi’s neck.

Duanfu’s heart was broken, and he was about to collide with his shoulders, when the silver bell-like laughter in his ears suddenly turned into a scream of embarrassment.

I saw Teng Yuyi holding the jade sword and stabbed fiercely at the strange claw on his shoulder.

Every time it was stabbed, the monster screamed strangely, as if it was suffering from the pain of gouging out its heart, and it screamed extremely mournfully.

Duanfu was so terrified that he forgot to put his hand away, and Teng Yuyi had long forgotten his fear. Before he came, he had imagined it thousands of times in his mind. If he could catch the murderer of his cousin on the spot, he would definitely slash that person with a thousand cuts. In the hands of this thing, she strikes hard and fast.

After the tragic death of her cousin in her previous life, her aunt was also severely injured and fell ill. In just half a year, she lost her two most important relatives one after another. It turned out that all the disasters were caused by this monster. She wished she could eat its flesh and sleep on its skin. .

It wasn’t enough to plunge into the flesh, Teng Yuyi let out a grin, like pounding sauce, the tip of the sword stirred back and forth in the back of the monster’s claws.

The screams of the monster were raised a little bit, but he couldn’t move, and the heavy object fell to the ground.

In Teng Yuyi’s mind, it seemed that a string had been plucked.

“Cousin!”

“It’s cousin! Quick, Duanfu!”

Duanfu didn’t wait for the order, rolled on the spot when he saw the opportunity, took Du Tinglan into his arms, jumped up and down, and took her away from the monster’s feet.

Teng Yuyi was about to stab again, but with this distraction, the strength on his shoulders suddenly lightened, and in the screams, the monster actually tore off his giant claws.

In an instant, blood flowed like a column, and the foul smell shot straight into the sky.

The monster wailed miserably, like a woman with a broken heart.

The fire was shining outside the forest, and the footsteps were cluttered. Mrs. Du rushed over with her servants in a hurry, “Laner, Yuer!”

Then came the group of noble servants who had just set up the curtain outside the forest.

When everyone saw this situation, they all showed surprise. They didn’t know what kind of illusion the monster used. In this earth-shattering fight, Lin Wai didn’t hear the slightest sound. A servant squatted

down and picked up the stump left by the monster. Without looking at it, it turned into a pile of black dust. The man’s expression changed: “Go and tell the prince.”

The key is lost outside the pavilion, and there are so many people in the field, how can I send him news?”

“The Prince of Chun’an is also by the river tonight, why don’t I go and ask His Royal Highness to find the prince, the origin of the monster is unknown, let it be Someone will suffer.”

Teng Yuyi was frightened, and hurriedly picked up her cousin to take a look, still in a coma, but fortunately her breathing stopped evenly.

Teng Yuyi’s nose was sore and her eyes were hot. In front of her was a beautiful face with fresh vitality. It was not the lifeless, swollen and gray face she saw when she came from Yangzhou in the last life.

She has been trapped in the boat from Yangzhou to Chang’an for several days, and she has been planning day and night to avoid the same tragedy. Now that her cousin is alive in front of her eyes, she has a feeling of the rest of her life.

Madam Du’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly pushed the maid away and grabbed the front: “What happened?”

Teng Yuyi smelled the familiar incense on her aunt’s surcoat, as if a cotton ball was stuck in her throat, but she calmly said when she raised her head: ” My cousin and I made an appointment to play here, but who knew that I ran into something evil.”

Why her cousin came out of the nunnery is still a mystery to her. There are too many people around, so she has to be cautious.

Mrs. Du’s thoughts turned very fast. Seeing that one of her daughters passed out and the other daughter was terrified, she was frightened for a while, and hurriedly hugged the two into her arms: “Good boy, don’t be afraid.”

She looked around with lingering fears. A series of voices instructed the servants: “Hurry up and carry Yi Niang to the calf, and go back to the city to find a medical worker.”

Teng Yuyi was greedy for her aunt’s embrace, but she still had a lot of things to do at the moment, so she got up to check Duanfu’s injury, and only From the right shoulder down, the whole arm is bloody. Duanfu remained silent, Teng Yuyi was so anxious, and asked the old coachman to help Duanfu

: “There is a golden medicine in the car. Stop the bleeding first.”

The horse’s hoofs fluttered and fluttered, and the group of servants just left and returned, followed by the palace servants in yellow shirts.

This group of people hurried to the front: “I dare to ask if it is the chariot of General Teng’s mansion, the villain is the long attendant of the king of Chun’an County, His Highness heard about the matter just now, in case anyone else suffers, let us rush to block it. Bamboo forest.”

“Prince Chun’an?” Mrs. Du opened the curtain, she had found her daughter’s lips black, and her heart was boiling.

“Not only a few people in the mansion, but the calves of Dongming Mansion in Wannian County were also bumped when they passed by. They were all injured by evil things, and ordinary medical workers couldn’t see it. It just so happened that the Taoist priest was also playing in Qujiang tonight, the king of the county. We have already gone to invite the Taoist priest, and let us send the injured person to Ziyun Tower.”

Teng Yuyi was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Madam Du’s hand: “Aunt, follow the words of a few palace servants and carry Hongnu Baizhi. Get in the car.”

My cousin was so angry, and Duanfu’s face was covered with a cloud of black energy. You don’t need to think about it and know that it has something to do with the monster.

If she is not mistaken, the Taoist priest who can freely enter and exit the Ziyun Tower is the Qing Xuzi who has a solitary temperament, but is regarded as a mentor by the current sage.

This humanistic technique is so high that it is unparalleled in the world.
