The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

Chapter 335 There is a wolf before and a tiger behind

There was one thing Yuntian didn't tell him, which was that he must not take too much of this medicine, otherwise the person would be like fainting and could not be woken up.

Now Xu Zimo is still sleeping soundly in the inn.

"Does your prince have any instructions before he leaves?"

"The prince said that if anyone comes, it's up to you."

Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "In that case, tell the guards not to stop them. As long as they can break in, they can come!"

She wrote a note and tied it to the bird's leg, and the bird flew into the mountains.

When Zheng Qi arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhang Hu stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am Zhang Hu, your humble servant. I greet the Minister of the Central Secretariat."

"Master Zhang." Zheng Qi stroked his beard. "I came to He's house in Shiya Village to read the imperial edict at the order of the emperor. Unfortunately, there were wild beasts blocking the road. My people tried many ways but were unable to drive them away. So I had no choice but to ask Master Zhang to come and help."

Zhang Hu heard this and said loudly, "Your Excellency, you may not know that since the arrival of the people from Southern Xinjiang, there have been many ferocious beasts in this village. It is very scary! I am limited in my ability and cannot drive them away. Please forgive me, Your Excellency."

Horrifying?

Zheng Qi narrowed his eyes slightly. If what he said was true, why was there no fear in his eyes?

Being able to hold the position of the second-rank minister of the Secretariat, Zheng Qi is definitely not a good-for-nothing.

"Since Lord Zhang can't get in, let the people in the village come out!"

"This..." Zhang Hu smiled a little embarrassedly: "To be honest, I haven't been able to see anyone in this village these days."

Zheng Qi saw that he was beating around the bush and was furious: "How dare you! How dare you tease me!"

"Sir, I am wronged. How dare I tease you?" Zhang Hu sighed, waved his hand, and said to the officials, "You lead the way first, and escort you into the village!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Hu turned around and walked in first.

The two tigers saw him, wagged their tails and ignored him. The officers behind him also entered smoothly. Zheng Qi was secretly happy when he saw this. Sure enough, this tiger was lying. It was obvious that the tiger knew him.

He waved his hand, and the guards behind him prepared to follow him in.

The next moment, the tiger that was lying there dozing off suddenly stood up.

He sniffed and let out a low growl from his throat.

They have the scent of a man who is ignorant of the immensity of the world.

That man was Xu Zimo.

Zheng Qi was startled: "What, what, what's going on?"

Zhang Hu pretended to be shocked: "This, this, this, I don't know either!"

"Come here!" he pointed at Zhang Hu and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Hu had no choice but to go back. This time, he walked side by side with Zheng Qi, but the fierce light in the tigers' eyes still fell on Zheng Qi, as if saying, if you dare to step into the village, I will bite you to death!

The sharp fangs are terrifying to look at.

Zheng Qi stepped back and forth, angrily asking, "Whose tigers are these?"

"Master Zheng, this is a ferocious beast, so it's naturally ownerless!"

Zheng Qi glared at him fiercely, thinking that he was fooling him. That day, the guards from the Dingwang Palace came out to reply. The two tigers were as obedient as cats. They were obviously the tigers raised by He Jingheng, and they had no owner!

Just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a group of people wearing white robes came rushing forward.

Seeing this, Zhang Hu's lips curled up slightly.

"Oh no! Sir, hurry up! The snow bandits are coming down the mountain!"

what?

Snow bandit?

The guards behind Zheng Qi drew their swords one after another, but looking at the team of several hundred people, they knew they were no match for them.

"Sir, everyone says the snow bandits are brutal, we should go back quickly!"

Zheng Qi also wanted to retreat, when suddenly a wolf howl was heard not far away.

"Ouch!"

This voice was undoubtedly a death warrant to Zheng Qi, the last straw that broke his psychological defenses.

"My lord, it's bad, there's a wolf."

Not just one wolf, but a pack of wolves.

They kept retreating, and before they had taken a few steps, they heard a tiger roar behind them.

Now, they truly understand what it means to have wolves in front and tigers behind.

At this time, the snow bandits were already approaching, and when the wolves saw them coming, they all retreated.

Liu Qin and Lin Mu had a grim smile on their faces: "Hey, a high official!"

"You bold bandits, I am an official appointed by the imperial court. What do you want to do?" Zheng Qi said in a cold voice.

"What are you doing?" Lin Mu sneered, "You look unfamiliar. Maybe this is your first time here!"

"So what?"

"Nothing." Lin Mu took a few steps forward and came close to Zheng Qi: "You must not know the hatred between us and the court, otherwise you wouldn't ask this question so calmly."

“You, you guys…”

Zhang Hu tugged at his sleeve and said, "Sir Zheng, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. These snow bandits were not wiped out when the Dingguo Palace was at its peak. You can imagine how powerful they are."

Zhang Hu's words made Zheng Qi feel nervous, but he quickly thought of a way to save himself.

He pointed to the village behind him and said, "I heard that the Ding Kingdom had surrounded you before. Now they are in this village. If you want revenge, you can rush in!"

Zhang Hu looked at him with contempt.

Lin Mu and Liu Qin looked at each other without saying anything. Zheng Qi thought his words had worked, and continued, "They have been demoted by the court. They will not be punished even if they die or become disabled."

"Charge in?" Liu Qin sneered, "What are you thinking? The Dingguo Palace can even defeat tens of thousands of southern Xinjiang troops. We are just a few hundred people, not enough to fill their teeth. You want us to charge in, isn't it just to send us to death?" He waved his long knife, and the sharp tip of the knife pointed at Zheng Qi: "You old man, you dare to plot against your grandfather Liu, you are looking for death!"

"Boss!" The Snow Bandit stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, he is an official appointed by the court. If we kill him here, the court will investigate and we will be charged with the murder of an official appointed by the court. It will not be good. Why don't we take them back to the mountain stronghold and ask them to send some silver to us." He pointed in the direction of Dingguo Palace: "The people in the village are from Dingguo Palace. If they find our whereabouts, we will be in trouble."

Hearing this, Liu Qin nodded seriously and said, "You are a smart boy. When you return to the village, I will reward you handsomely!"

"Thank you, Boss."

Their conversation was not loud, but Zheng Qi heard it clearly.

It seems that the Dingguo Palace has nothing to do with the Snow Bandits.
