Chapter 41: Go to the capital
Zhang Yuxi had tears on her face, but said angrily: "Mr., you are so seriously injured now that you still have the heart to joke."
Bao Zheng smiled and said, "I'm not kidding! But this time I was so seriously injured, I'm afraid I can't obey the imperial edict and go to the capital."
Zhang Yuxi and Dong Xianxian said in unison: "Let's stay and take care of you!"
Bao Zheng's eyes were moved and said to Dong Xianxian: "I have lost my memory. It can be said that it is completely different from Bao Zheng before. Don't you think it's worth it if you are so kind to me?"
Dong Xianxian said, "In my eyes, you will always be my Bao Lang!"
Bao Zheng was speechless. Facing such a infatuated woman, Bao Zheng couldn't bear to hurt her heart. She sacrificed her life several times, but Bao Zheng had already regarded her as the closest person. Zhang Yuxi was originally the best sister to Dong Xianxian, and Dong Xianxian saved Bao Zheng several times. He was still a third party. Although he had some grudges in his heart, he had no complaints about Dong Xianxian's feelings for Bao Zheng.
The three of them said something about their own body in the room. Before they knew it, it was almost dusk. Bao Zheng was seriously injured and woke up, and he couldn't help feeling a little tired. Seeing that Bao Zheng was in trouble, the two women told Bao Zheng to have a good rest. The two women had not closed their eyes for several days. When they saw Bao Zheng wake up, the stone in their heart finally fell. The two women retreated to the outer room to rest. Dong Xianxian was afraid that Lan'er's witch would come to be unfavorable to Bao Zheng, but at this time, the sword was forbidden.
Bao Zheng was pondering the story of this serious injury in bed. There seemed to be many important things in Lan'er's words, which she couldn't remember. When Lan'er assassinated herself, she mentioned what was the important thing she wanted to hand over? Why did Lan'er lurk by her side? And she heard that she had been feeding her poisons all the time, but now she had no signs of poisoning? Bao Zheng thought about this, and his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of anything, so he simply didn't think about it carefully, rested, hoping to get better soon.
Bao Zheng was resting until the third day, and it had been six days since he received the imperial edict. Zhang Yao and Bao Lingyi felt that as long as Bao Zheng was meticulous and cultivated, there should be no serious problems, so they began to prepare to set out to the capital to report. Bao Zheng was so seriously injured at this time that he obviously could not accompany him. Zhang Yuxi and Dong Xianxian stayed to take care of Bao Zheng.
Zhang Yao and Bao Lingyi's carriage team followed Li Yiran's team to the capital. With two masters Fang Lingmei and Chen Shuangxue, as well as hundreds of masters in the Dragon and Tiger Hall, their team was foolproof.
After everyone went to the capital, the Zhang Mansion became deserted. Days passed day by day, and Bao Zheng's body began to slowly heal. Bao Zheng and the other two lived together day and night, and over time seemed like a family. After a month, Bao Zheng had healed his wounds and was able to get out of bed and walk. After this month, Lan'er and the people from the Motian Society did not appear again. Maybe they thought Bao Zheng was dead, maybe they had withdrawn from Luzhou. Bao Zheng carefully searched for various items from the past and tried to find what Lan'er mentioned, but he couldn't find them. Bao Zheng smiled bitterly. If it was so easy to find by himself, Lan'er would not have found nothing after lurking for a year!
Bao Zheng walked in the yard this day, and the two girls followed behind him. Bao Zheng said, "Yu Xi, Xian'er, I'm in good health now. It seems that we can also start going to the capital and meet with them."
Dong Xianxian pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Since that's the case, you can start going to the capital! I won't go!"
Bao Zheng was a little surprised and asked, "Xian'er, your father is also in the capital. Don't you want to see him?"
When Dong Xianxian heard Bao Zheng mention her father, she couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "Xian'er doesn't want to see him in this life. He has been convinced to abandon him in Luzhou since he was a child and let me and my grandfather depend on each other. I can't even remember what he looks like in my mind. He used to write to me and my grandfather and I are not allowed to look for him in the future. It's better not to have the father you want."
Bao Zheng did not expect Dong Hao to be so ruthless, but Bao Zheng knew the whole story. Perhaps Dong Hao was really insincere. Bao Zheng decided to tell her what Kou Zhun mentioned in the letter, so he said, "Xian'er! In fact, your father may not be really ruthless, maybe he just encountered trouble?"
Dong Xianxian showed an indignation on her face and said, "What is more important than family affection?"
Bao Zheng took out Kou Zhun's letter from his arms and handed it to the fairy, and said, "The court has arrested your father this time. Perhaps this is why your father is unwilling to meet you. He just doesn't want you and Mr. He to be involved."
After reading the letter, Dong Xianxian's face became a little flustered. She had hated Dong Hao just now, but she was afraid that she was full of concern at this time.
Dong Xianxian said, "My father is definitely not a member of the Mutianhui. I think the court has definitely misunderstood it."
Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Kou also thinks that your father is related to the Mutianhui. Since Mr. Kou thinks so, it is obvious that this matter will not be fake, but your father has always refused to reveal any of the Mutianhui affairs. He is afraid that he will suffer in prison. The scholars who died in the past were sent by the court to investigate you and Mr. He. Your master Jingzhen Fairy came to Luzhou City because of this. However, she has been with you for a year and still trusts you very much. I think after she returns to the capital, she will definitely report to the court. I think that with Fairy Jingzhen for you, the court will not send people to make things difficult for you again. The most important thing now is to find out what your father and Moutianhui have to do, so that you can find a way to help him escape the prison disaster."
When Dong Xianxian heard Bao Zheng say that his father was suffering in the cell, she was in chaos. Although she hated her father on the surface, she was worried and anxious when she heard that he was in prison.
Zhang Yuxi stepped forward to support her and comforted her: "Xianxian, since your father is in trouble in the capital, then you can go to the capital with us to act according to the opportunity, and maybe it can really help your father."
Dong Xianxian nodded at this time. When Bao Zheng saw her agreeing, he immediately sent his servants to prepare the carriage and dry food on the road. Dong Xianxian went to say goodbye to Master He. Master He also agreed to Fairy Fairy to go to the capital, and asked Sun Ling'er to accompany Fairy. The next day, Bao Zheng and Yu Xi, Fairy Fairy and Sun Ling'er started to go to the capital in a carriage. Luzhou is thousands of miles away from Kaifeng, and Bao Zheng was recovering. He could not hurry and could only walk 200 miles a day, which would take more than ten days to get there. Bao Zheng simply followed the carriage and only let Bao Yi be the coachman, and went to the capital in dust. Bao Zheng heard a few days ago that because Luzhou Academy was suspended, they had to start going to the capital early and prepare for the spring exam in the capital. Gongsun Ce and others were in groups, so there was no need to wait for Bao Zheng to join.
Bao Zheng's carriages and horses set off from Luzhou and passed Shunchang Prefecture and entered the Central Plains with a flat horse. Shunchang Prefecture has a long history and a long history. It was inhabited by humans as early as the Neolithic Age and created a brilliant and splendid ancient culture. Shunchang Prefecture is located on the edge of the Central Plains. The important geographical location of Shunchang Prefecture makes it a must-fight place for military strategists in history. Opening the picture of history, Shunchang Prefecture has been repeatedly war-torn, and the baptism of war has left the mark of military horses.
Shunchang Prefecture has the Ying River running through the territory. The Ying River has been a severely affected area of flooding since ancient times. It is after autumn and it is the time when heavy rains are repeated. It is at this time that Bao Zheng caught up with the heavy rains in Shunchang Prefecture for several days. The heavy rain seemed to be pouring, and the horse could not move forward. Bao Yi could only force the carriage in front of him. The road surface became muddy in the blink of an eye, and Bao Zheng also jumped out of the carriage to help Bao Yi. The rain was too heavy, and Bao Zheng was already wet in the blink of an eye.
Bao Yi said: "Young Master, you should go back to the carriage to rest after recovering from serious injuries. If you have any problems, it will be a big problem. As long as we rush to Qiaozhuang Ancient Town two miles ahead, we will have a place to settle down."
