I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Chapter 122

Feng Yiwei was attacked and poisoned, and Pei Xiang planned to visit her.

She didn't get up immediately to go to the main courtyard, but picked a Ximenshen to visit when he was also present.After all, she is now a man, so she should be careful to avoid suspicion.

Ximenshen was preparing a prescription for Feng Yiwei, when he saw Pei Xiang, his eyes were slightly warm.

"Brother Pei, are you still used to being in the mansion?"

"The mansion's arrangements are comprehensive and the care is meticulous. I'm almost reluctant to leave Wanmei Villa."

Feng Yiwei came out from the cubicle, said with a smile:

"Since you can't bear it, why bother to mention leaving. Brother Pei, you must stay for a long time. Let us, husband and wife, show some friendship as landlords and show our heart."

Pei Xiang looked at Feng Yiwei's expression, and asked with concern: "How are you doing now, why didn't you rest in bed?"

"It's nothing serious, Brother Pei. It's just a superficial scratch. My husband is very good at medicine. After taking the medicine, I feel much better."

Ximenshen handed the newly written prescription to a maid, and seriously explained the details that should be paid attention to when brewing the medicine twice, and then turned to explain to Pei Xiang:

"This kind of poison in her should not lie still for a long time. She needs to walk back and forth to help detoxify."

Pei Xiang smiled and said, "It's because I'm ignorant."

Ximen shook his head deeply, looking at Pei Xiang very brightly, with some eager anticipation.

"Brother Pei, I realized that you are good at the art of disguise after listening to my wife tell about the experience of the two of you along the way. I am more interested in this aspect, but I have never had the opportunity to get in touch with a real expert. Now I am lucky enough to meet you." Brother Pei, can I ask you a question or two?"

Pei Xiang said calmly: "Excuse me, owner Ximen, if I can tell you, I will know everything. However, please forgive me, some secret methods of disguise involve the inheritance of the master, and I really can't talk about it to people outside the master. .”

Ximen nodded in understanding, and opened his mouth to ask questions, but Feng Yiwei interrupted him:

"Husband, now is not the time to discuss the art of disguise. Have you forgotten the news we just received? Cousin Ning'er is still trapped halfway, and we need to send someone to bring her back safely. And her body ...Those villains poisoned her cousin to delay her on the road in order to pretend to be Ning'er's cousin. Now that so many days have passed, I don't know if Ning'er's cousin is healthy or not."

Ximen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that such a thing happened, so he repeatedly ordered the housekeeper to make arrangements.

Feng Yiwei hesitated a little, she tentatively suggested:

"Husband, Cousin Ning'er was implicated by our couple this time, she was trapped and poisoned, and now the news has finally spread, do you want... you take someone to bring her back yourself?"

Ximen shook his head deeply: "The people who are sent to pick up people are all masters in the village. Their martial arts are not inferior to mine, and they have more experience in Jianghu, so they are more useful than me."

Pei Xiang took a sip of tea, thinking how could this be the same.There is a big difference between the cousin and the strange subordinate of the cousin.

After these few contacts, she probably figured out a little bit about the personality of the owner of Ximen.

To some extent, the owner of the estate is probably a very self-willed person.For the people or things he is interested in, he will devote great enthusiasm and attention, even to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.But he is extremely indifferent to people and things outside of his interest.

Sure enough, Ximenshen said quite naturally:

"I still have an ancient recipe to verify today. If I didn't stay and observe the effect myself, the previous few days of preparation would have been wasted. Yiwei, you know me best. If Cousin Ning'er has any complaints, please help me explain Two sentences."

Feng Yiwei was familiar with Ximenshen's temper, so she stopped persuading her deeply. After smiling helplessly, she turned her head and begged Pei Xiang:

"Brother Pei, I'm scared by what happened before, and I want to ask you something."

Pei Xiangdao: "Madam Feng, please tell me."

Feng Yiwei hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother Pei, I am a little worried about the authenticity of Cousin Ning'er. I think, I want to ask you to help our husband and wife to observe whether Cousin Ning'er has disguised herself, is it someone else? Fake."

"I'll do my best," Pei Xiang replied cautiously without talking too much, "There are a lot of talents in the Jianghu, and the methods and skills I know are just superficial."

Feng Yiwei smiled slightly: "I believe in Brother Pei."

When things related to medical skills were not involved, Ximenshen obeyed Feng Yiwei's words. He held Feng Yiwei's cool hand, feeling a little distressed for her hurt.

"I don't know who is behind the reward list. If I find out, I will definitely not let that scourge go."

At this time, the housekeeper came over to report that a patient who had made an appointment before had arrived and asked Ximenshen how to arrange it.

Seeing the name on the greeting card, Ximen suddenly said, "It's Chief Chang. I almost forgot about him. Today is his last acupuncture..."

As he spoke, Ximen let go of Feng Yiwei's hand, then cupped his fists towards Pei Xiang, and hurried out.

Feng Yiwei was a little unhappy, and complained: "Brother Pei, I quarreled with my husband before and ran away because of his temper. I always put medical skills and patients first, and then family members."

Pei Xiang bowed his head and took a sip of tea.She knew that the other party said these things at this time, not because she wanted to hear her words of consolation, but just to confide in them.

Sure enough, Feng Yiwei continued: "To tell you the truth, I was confidently waiting for him to pick me up on Feixian Island, partly because I was pregnant, and partly because there are some special herbs in the South China Sea. Interested. I just want him to leave Wanmei Villa and run around for me in person. Even if it’s not all for me, I can still pretend not to know the truth and be happy.”

Pei Xiang always kept in mind his identity as a man, so when he heard these words, he couldn't complain about Ximenshen with Feng Yiwei like a good girlfriend and sister, so he could only say simply:

"Mrs. Feng, I believe that owner Ximen cares about you. On the day we came back, the concern in the owner's eyes was not fake. He was really afraid and worried. You see, owner Ximen didn't care about the chores in the villa before. He didn't pay much attention, and he never asked more questions about things that could be handed over to the housekeeper. However, after hearing that someone had intercepted the letter, he personally investigated all suspicious links, and quickly caught the pretending Miss Cousin killer."

When mentioning the matter of investigation, Feng Yiwei's smile became a little sweeter, and she said softly:

"I didn't expect my husband to act so quickly. I saw that he never asked much about the affairs of the village, and he thought he was incomprehensible. I didn't expect that he just didn't want to intervene. He was like a mirror in his heart. When it’s critical, you can grasp the key right away.”

Pei Xiang smiled and said nothing, which was one of the reasons why she was unwilling to talk and persuade.

It's better for her, an outsider, to be less involved in matters between husband and wife.

Feng Yiwei obviously loves Ximenshen deeply, if she points out Ximenshen's inappropriateness in front of Feng Yiwei, she might be blamed.

"By the way, Mrs. Feng, after that lady cousin arrives at Wanmei Villa, I plan to bid farewell to you and the owner of Ximen Villa."

Feng Yiwei was startled: "Brother Pei, is there a place in the village where the hospitality is not good? You must stay longer."

Pei Xiang shook his head: "I received a letter from my family the day before yesterday. My wife is pregnant. I have to go back to take care of her as soon as possible."

This reason made Feng Yiwei unable to keep the guests. She sighed regretfully, and then said happily:

"It turns out that Brother Pei is married and his sister-in-law is pregnant. That's great. Brother Pei, I don't know where you live. If it's convenient, our two families must visit each other frequently."

Pei Xiang knew very well that if he settled in a nearby town, he would definitely not be able to hide from Wanmei Villa's news network, so he said openly:

"I have some conflicts with my brothers and sisters at home. I went to Feixian Island to relax and relieve my boredom. I didn't expect so many things to happen later. This delay made me leave home for a long time, and my wife was also very worried. I just thought, after I go back this time, I can take my wife out of the family and set up another small family, so that life will be more enjoyable."

Feng Yiwei immediately said: "Since elder brother is looking for a place to live, why not look around our Wanmei Villa. In this way, our two families can take care of each other."

Pei Xiang nodded: "I went shopping in the nearby Qingqu Town yesterday, and found that there are many doctors in the medical clinic in the town, and the folk customs are very simple. Everyone lives and works in peace and contentment without any major disputes. It is indeed a good place to live. So , I already have a plan, and I want to arrange the new residence near several medical clinics, so that it will be convenient to take care of my wife's body."

Hearing Pei Xiang's explanation, Feng Yiwei sighed, "Brother Pei really cares about my sister-in-law."

Pei Xiang said calmly: "Actually, I also have my own thoughts. People say that leaving home is not easy. Although my wife and I have some martial arts skills and are not afraid of being bullied by hooligans, we don't want to spend all day working for those boring people. It was a waste of time. I just wanted to borrow the reputation of Wanmei Villa in exchange for a bit of cleanliness. Mrs. Feng, from now on we will live in Qingqu Town as husband and wife, so we need to trouble the villa to take care of it a little bit."

Feng Yiwei pursed her lips and laughed, knowing that the words were mostly polite.

With Brother Pei's kung fu and methods, how could he be afraid of being entangled by hooligans.What's more, those people also have eyesight, knowing who can be messed with and who can't be messed with, so how can they touch an egg with a rock.

As soon as she changed her mind, she understood the main reason why Brother Pei chose to settle in Qingqu Town.Most of it has something to do with several famous medical clinics here.

This person, no matter whether he is a person in the Jianghu or an ordinary person, cannot do without a doctor who heals the sick and wounded.

What's more, Brother Pei has a pregnant wife and a newborn baby in his family. He must have chosen Qingqu Town because he values ​​the health of his wife and children.

Otherwise, with the temperament of people in the world who like to be famous, how could Brother Pei, who is in his prime, choose to settle in such a stable and simple place.

Pei Xiang chatted with Feng Yiwei for a while, and then left.

In the afternoon, she met that cousin Ning'er.

"Miss Han, please be polite."

Han Ning'er, who was helped out of the carriage, nodded weakly. She leaned on the servant girl and smiled softly at everyone in the villa.

This is a girl as elegant and weak as a water lotus.

Han Ninger's physical condition was worrying, Ximen frowned deeply and checked her, and concluded:

"Cousin Ning'er was originally weak. She caught a cold while on the road, and then drank the wrong medicine, which made her condition worse. According to the preliminary diagnosis, there should be some poison in the wrong soup and medicine she drank. Strong herbal medicine, after drinking it, a strong person will at most have a few stomach troubles or a slight fever, but Cousin Ning'er's body is inherently weak, so the impact is even greater."

Feng Yiwei asked anxiously: "Can you still recover well?"

Ximen pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "If I do it myself, my cousin should be safe and sound within a year."

"That's good, that's good." Feng Yiwei heaved a sigh of relief, put her palms together and recited the Buddha's name.

A maid with a sword beside Han Ning'er rolled her eyes in displeasure, and then looked at her girl with distress.

They all knew that the reason why Han Ning'er suffered this crime was that she was implicated.

In order to set up a murderous situation, those gangsters wanted to borrow Han Ning'er's identity, so they trapped her on the road, and used medicine to poison her so that she couldn't get sick and couldn't reach Wanmei Villa normally.

In this way, the "Miss Cousin" pretended by the killer of Shaying Pavilion can be an impostor.

The maid next to Han Ning'er was disrespectful to Feng Yiwei, and Feng Yiwei didn't care because of guilt.But the people around her were not vegetarians, so they immediately asked with a smile:

"Baiqi, your lady is sick on the way, why don't you send someone to send a letter over, so that our owner can arrange someone to pick it up earlier."

Bai Qi replied somewhat depressed: "The person who sent the letter was bribed, and we just found out that the letters written before were all secretly detained by him."

"Then you should hurry up and come here in person. How can you wait for a reply and delay Miss Biao's condition in vain."

After Han Ning'er coughed a few times, she smiled at Feng Yiwei and said:

"Cousin, I have caused trouble for you and my cousin. I didn't tell my mother in advance when I came out this time. I just left a letter saying that I came to Wanmei Villa to relax. After drinking the medicine in a while, I will give it to my mother in person. Write an apology letter."

Feng Yiwei immediately said: "It is indeed time to write a letter to my aunt to report her safety. Hey, she must be in a hurry."

After Feng Yiwei finished speaking, she glared at the maid beside her, motioning her to keep silent.

"Cousin Ning'er, don't say it's troublesome or not. You can come at any time when you are a guest at your cousin's house. But, you must make it clear to your aunt and her elders in advance. As for the accident this time, it was our husband and wife who got involved. You, you must take good care of your body in Wanmei Villa. Otherwise, my aunt will be sad."

Han Ning'er smiled gratefully. She had been talking to Feng Yiwei, and when her eyes fell on Ximenshen, she just swept them away. It was so plain, and she couldn't see any special friendship for Ximenshen.

However, just as everyone was leaving, Han Ning'er suddenly stopped Ximenshen:

"Cousin, I met a strange patient on the road. The symptoms are similar to the dull headache you mentioned before, but there are some differences. I am not good at medicine, so I am worried that I may make a wrong judgment."

Ximen's deep eyes showed interest. He turned around and sat down on the chair opposite Han Ning'er.

"What is the specific situation, you and I will talk about it in detail..."

When Pei Xiang and Feng Yiwei walked out of Han Ning'er's yard, they could still hear the brisk conversation between the cousins.

Feng Yiwei's expression remained unchanged, she just asked Pei Xiang seriously: "Brother Pei, has this cousin Ning'er changed her face?"

Pei Xiang shook his head: "Judging from my current knowledge, Miss Han has not changed her appearance."

Hearing this, Feng Yiwei's eyebrows stretched: "It's fine if it's Cousin Ning'er herself."

Pei Xiang looked back at the yard behind him again, but Ximenshen didn't show any signs of coming out for the time being.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Feng Yiwei asked in a low voice, "Brother Pei, have you heard those gossips about Cousin Ning'er..."

Pei Xiang nodded slightly, with a slightly embarrassed smile on his face.

Feng Yiwei's eyes were calm and her tone was calm: "Actually, those words are true. Cousin Ning'er really admires my husband."

"But I see that you are not worried about being jealous at all, madam."

"I wish I could be jealous once." Feng Yiwei bit her lip, "My husband... I know him too well, he won't pay much attention to things other than those related to medical skills."

"It's his luck that Master Ximen can gain the trust of his wife."

Feng Yiwei looked perplexed: "Everyone says I'm lucky. Apart from being too obsessed with medical skills, my husband has never treated me badly. I'm not greedy, lustful, or rude. Compared with the marriages of my sisters at home, my luck Seems to be doing fine."

Pei Xiang couldn't help persuading him: "Some things, like drinking water, you know it by yourself."

Feng Yiwei sighed and said nothing more.

Looking at Feng Yiwei's back as she walked away, Pei Xiang stood there and pondered for a moment, with some doubts flashing in his eyes.

——Since the killer of Shaying Pavilion wanted to use Han Ning'er's identity to handle affairs, why didn't he simply kill him, instead he used a more troublesome method?

——Poisoning, trapping people, intercepting letters and blocking news, these things are really troublesome and laborious, and it is easy to make mistakes. This is not in line with the style of Shaying Pavilion.

——and Feng Yiwei...

At the same time, on the unnamed island thousands of miles away, Yu Luocha and the little old man are confronting each other.

Both of them stared at each other closely, not missing every subtle expression and every muscle change of their opponent.

"Do you want to fight again? Yu Luocha, you are still too young to be my opponent after all."

Yu Luocha sneered and said, "I really can't beat you, but you can't kill me either. As long as I don't die, we can keep fighting."

The little old man looked at Yu Luocha as if he were looking at an ignorant child.

"Why do you have to be so fussy, I just want to invite Madam Ling to come to the island as a guest. Madam Ling didn't like to come, so I didn't invite you a second time. Unexpectedly, you chased me to the island without hesitation."

Yu Luosha brushed off his sleeves, ignored the little old man's provocative expression, and didn't answer his words, but said slowly:

"In terms of martial arts, you beat me by relying on your age and deep internal strength, but in terms of planning, you are indeed only older but not brainy. Do you think I can't hold my breath like this?"

The little old man's expression changed, and he suddenly asked in a deep voice, "What did you do in Jiangnan?"

"It's nothing, it's just that in the past few days when we competed, the secret organizations you worked so hard to create were turned upside down."

The little old man frowned slightly, but quickly calmed down the strangeness in his expression, and said lightly:

"It's just a few small forces manipulated at will. If you blow it up, just throw it up. Take it as my apology to Madam Ling."

Yu Luocha said leisurely: "My wife doesn't care about those remnants and defeated generals. By the way, I only found four secret organizations related to you. One, two, three, four, eh, don't you feel bad? "

The little old man stroked his beard and remained calm.

Yu Luocha continued:

"I guess you are a little bit heartbroken, because it takes a lot of money to set them up. Where did the money come from? Let me guess, recently... there is a powerful killer organization in Jianghu called Shaying Pavilion, it seems quite mysterious."

The little old man tore off a beard.

"what do you want?"

"I want some truth."

"You ask."

"When you went to 'invite' my wife, did Mu Shiqing go?"

"went."

Yu Luosha thought, then she is the fourth person.

——Shuang Qing said that the fourth person escaped smoothly by taking advantage of Lei Zhenzi's deterrence.

"You provided her with those thunderbolts?"

"Correct."

"How many pieces in total?"

"Three."

Yu Luocha's heart sank. He had seen the power of the thunderbolt with his own eyes, and he knew that the explosion by the forest was almost caused by three thunderbolts.

"There are only three, you didn't give her any more gunpowder with similar power?"

The little old man glanced at Yu Luocha, suddenly figured out the reason for his madness, and immediately showed a gloating smile:

"I can clearly tell Master Yu that not only does Mu Shiqing have no similar gunpowder in his hands, nor does the killer of Shaying Pavilion."

Yu Luocha was puzzled: "Mu Shiqing used to be in power in the south of the Yangtze River, maybe he has the gunpowder of the Thunderbolt in his hands."

——Just like Shuang Qing, who only lived near the Thunderbolt Hall for a while, and then quietly bought a lot of gunpowder for self-defense.

The little old man sneered disdainfully: "Anyone who lands on my nameless island, except for the Jade Master, will not be able to hide from me what weapons they have on their bodies. This old man can guarantee this."

Yu Luocha fell into deep thought. Since neither Mu Shiqing nor the Shaying Pavilion killer had gunpowder that day, how did those explosion marks on the beach come from?

——Since Shuangqing was attacked at the edge of the forest, I have made people pay attention to the various forces on Feixian Island. When the accident happened, there was no change in the various forces.

——The Ye family also said that no suspicious masters were found.

——There is no need to use gunpowder for the hidden master who can hide from me.

Yu Luocha thought of the traces of the battle on the beach, and ruled out the possibility of being haunted by hidden masters.

——Since the gunpowder does not belong to the enemy, is it the gunpowder prepared by Shuangqing herself?

——If the gunpowder is hers, plus her swordsmanship, Mu Shiqing and the others are no threat at all.

——Who forced her to abandon her sword in embarrassment, and even lose the jade pendant hanging on her chest?
