"Boom!" The sound of horse hooves was rapid, and a gorgeous carriage came galloping on the avenue. There are officials in front holding whips to clear the way and shouting; behind there are light-armored cavalry guards, whose iron cavalry is as powerful as a dragon. The people gave way one after another, as they all knew that the person in the car had great power in the government and the public and should not be underestimated.

In the carriage, Shen Qin saluted Yelu Lie, her gratitude beyond words: "Thank you, General, for your timely help, otherwise what happened today would be unimaginable."

At noon, Empress Dowager Xue ordered Shen Qin to perform massage. He felt something was wrong, so he sent Xiao Zitong to teach Yelu Lie. If the general hadn't arrived in time, he wouldn't have known how to respond.

Yelu Lie looked sulky and glared at Shen Qin, "You're not a good guy either. If I had come a step later, I'm afraid you would have already..."

"Absolutely impossible!" Shen Qin interrupted him, "Although my nephew loves beauty, he still abides by filial piety and integrity."

After hearing this, Yelu Lie seemed to believe it but not believe it, and said bitterly: "This slut, if it weren't for the sake of the late emperor and the little emperor, I would have dealt with her long ago."

Shen Qin sighed softly, "However, my nephew understands her difficulties. Thinking about how the late emperor was so indifferent to Bai Jie, how could he favor her?"

After hearing this, Yelu Lie's eyes flashed with suspicion, "You are so concerned about the past, do you want to get information from me?"

Shen Qin smiled and didn't take it seriously, "I heard that the late emperor was a virtuous king. How could I not be curious about his life?"

Yelulie was silent for a moment and then slowly spoke: "The late emperor had a deep affection for your mother, so although he could not resist the advice of his ministers and took in concubines, he did not favor them. Until one day, Concubine Xue congratulated the late emperor on his birthday and carved a wooden painting with her own hands. Engraving. He accidentally injured his hand and it bled profusely. The late emperor felt pity and went to visit. Concubine Xue specially dressed up as a Han Dynasty woman and performed a dance for her. He had just finished his birthday party and was a bit drunk. I miss your mother so much that I acted impulsively..."

He paused and then said, "Afterwards, the late emperor regretted it and thought that Concubine Xue was too scheming and unfit to become the future queen mother, so he summoned the quiet and virtuous Concubine Ma Xian to stay with her every night. But in the end, it didn't go as he wanted. Hopefully, Concubine Xue will still be the first to arrive."

Shen Qin nodded slightly, "I see, sleeping every night is not as good as being drunk all night."

Mentioning the past, Yelu Lie was full of emotions and sighed, "Yes, I never thought that the late emperor would pass away suddenly. Before his death, he entrusted me with heavy powers to check the dictatorship of the Queen Mother, and asked me to assist the young emperor to become a true king. , how can I live up to his high expectations?"

Shen Qin sincerely praised: "The general's loyalty to the late emperor can be seen from time to time. I believe that if the late emperor is alive in heaven, he will definitely feel gratified."

After hearing this, Yelu Lie seemed to be touched. He looked out the window into the distance, "The late emperor had great ambitions in his early years and hoped to expand the territory with me, until he met Bai Jie..."

He sighed, "The love between children is really misleading. I am getting old. I would rather die on the battlefield and leave my name for eternity than live the rest of my life in mediocrity."

Shen Qin clenched his fist slightly after hearing this. He knew in his heart that it was almost impossible to persuade Yelu Lie to cease the war.

Yelu Lie took Shen Qin back to his residence, and confided Shen Qin in the General's Mansion, setting up guards to guard him, euphemistically calling it "protection." However, facing Ye Lu Lie's defense, Shen Qin calmly dealt with it without any objection.

Day and night changed, Shen Qin was reading books, writing medical books, or treating people in the mansion, and his life was quite fulfilling.

However, late at night a few days ago, Shen Qin's heartache returned. She sat up from her sleep. He covered his chest and reluctantly got down to the ground to take the pills.

At this moment, a goshawk suddenly landed on the window sill, poked its head into the house, and opened its mouth to sing. Shen Qin hurriedly covered its mouth and whispered: "Qingxuan, don't make any sound, there are still people sleeping in the house. "

It turned out that Asa was also temporarily staying in the house. He was in a foreign land with no relatives and often had nightmares. Shen Qin took pity on him and let him sleep on the couch next to her bed.

Qingxuan spread his wings and flew in, rubbing his head against Shen Qin, with a secret message tied to his leg.

Shen Qin opened it and looked it up, and found Liu Qingyan's handwriting on it, saying: "The spy has visited the imperial chef at that time and learned that the late Emperor of the Kingdom of Healing's daily diet and medicines were first tested by the young eunuch. At that time, the late Emperor had a cold, and the young eunuch was also infected. , the latter was not like the former emperor, who recovered after taking medicine, but the former emperor was deteriorating.

What is the source of the poison is a mystery.

Another incident was that there were five imperial doctors who treated the late emperor and the young eunuch. One of them was the envoy in charge of the hospital named Yu Jie. Concubine Xue often called him to diagnose diseases, praised his medical skills, and rewarded him many times.

Previously, Concubine Xue gave birth to a prince prematurely. Yu Jie had diagnosed the prince as suffering from jaundice and was weak and susceptible to diseases. No visits were allowed until the prince recovered after a hundred days, and then the prince's true appearance could be revealed to the public. "

After reading this letter, I combined the information I got from Yelu Lie before.

Shen Qin had already concluded in his mind, and Zhan Zhi wrote back: "Please be sure to find out the prescriptions stored in the imperial medical bureau back then, as well as the late emperor's daily diet."

After writing, he rolled up the letter, put it in a tube, hung it on Qingxuan's leg, stroked his head and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Qingxuan."

Qingxuan nodded and fluttered his wings, and went out through the window. Shen Qin watched him fly away under the moonlight. He lowered his head and looked at the golden thread on his wrist, sighing that his time was running out and his success or failure was uncertain.

……

……

More than half a month later, Yelulie returned from the military camp and urgently summoned Shen Qin to the lobby to discuss matters.

After hearing the news, Shen Qin walked into the hall slowly, followed closely by Xiao Zi, holding a tray with tea sets in his hand.

Seeing Yelu Lie's face sinking like water and his eyes cold, Shen Qin looked calm. He walked forward slowly and bowed to serve tea: "Welcome the general back home. My nephew added osmanthus to the Pu'er tea, which has the effect of warming the stomach and dispelling cold." It’s effective, please give it a try, General.”

"Crash!" With a sound, the tea cup was overturned by Yelu Lie's palm and fell to the ground.

Yelu Lie glared at him and shouted: "Shen Qin, this Pu'er is the royal tea. I let you drink it as you like. I treat you well with food and drink, but you are disloyal to me!"

Shen Qin was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile: "My nephew is stupid, please let me know, General."

Yelulie's face was gloomy: "This general has just received an urgent report that Agumo, Delhe and others of the Blackwater Tribe, together with the leaders of other small tribes, have launched a rebellion."

Shen Qin was also surprised when he heard this and asked Yelulie to elaborate.

Seeing that Shen Qin failed to investigate the case, Yelulie sent another imperial envoy to investigate. The imperial envoy actually led people to publicize portraits in the surrounding tribes to offer rewards for his arrest, thinking that there would be clues under the heavy money. However, he was ambushed on the way and no one survived. Agumo Please blame the North Road recruitment history, saying that the rebels are strong and asking for support.

Seeing that the case was of great importance, the governor personally led his troops to support him. As a result, he was surrounded by Agumo, Delhe and others. The entire army was destroyed, and all the food, grass and weapons fell into the hands of the enemy.

Yelulie stared at Shen Qin coldly: "The imperial envoy was killed as soon as he offered the reward. It seems that many people know Xiaoma's identity. I don't believe that your talent will lead to nothing!"

Shen Qin clenched his fists slightly after hearing this. He had originally asked Agumo and Delhe to keep Xiaoma's identity secret. Unexpectedly, the imperial envoy was so stupid that he actually offered a bounty to lure the insider into leaking the secret. Agumo and Delhe were worried about being exposed and were forced to raise troops. Putting him in a dilemma.

Before he could speak, Xiao Zi's face was already nervous, and the tea set in her hand was shaking slightly. Yelu Lie's eyes were like a knife, piercing Xiao Zi: "Say! If you dare to conceal the truth, I will kill you with your head on the ground."

Xiao Zi's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground. She looked at Shen Qin for help and heard the latter whisper softly: "Just tell the truth and there is no need to cover it up for me."

Xiao Zi took a deep breath and told Yelu Lie one by one what Shen Qin had asked her to ask about the portrait.

After hearing this, Yelulie glared at Shen Qin, with anger in his eyes: "So, you knew that Agumo was suspected of being serious, but you deliberately concealed it and didn't report it?"

Shen Qin replied calmly: "Based on the relationship between Agumo and Xiao Ma's father, it is difficult to conclude that Agumo is the mastermind behind the scenes. If my nephew reports it rashly, he may hurt innocent people."

Yelulie showed contempt and sneered: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Agumo, and you actually treat the illnesses of your clan members. With your identity, you secretly help the traitors. What is your intention?"

Shen Qin responded calmly and retorted: "It is the bounden duty of a doctor to help the world. If the general insists on charging me with collaborating with the enemy and treason, then I have no choice but to admit it. I will cut the corpse into pieces with five horses and split the car with Ling Chi. It's up to you!"

"You, you!" Yelu Lie turned livid with anger and shouted angrily, "Bring me the riding whip. I, the general, will teach your father a lesson today for this unscrupulous man!"

Xiao Zi prostrated on the ground and cried: "General, Mr. Shen has a kind heart. How can you ignore him when he is in serious trouble? Don't misunderstand him."

"If you talk more, you will be punished together!"

Yelu Lie was so angry that he couldn't hear the words of pleading, but Shen Qin looked at Xiao Zi and said softly, "I'm doomed this time. You don't need to beg anymore. Get out of here quickly."

Xiao Zi burst into tears and stepped aside.

After a while, the servant presented Yelu Lie with a riding whip. The whip was long and thin, with a leather like ink and knots. Looking at it, one could tell how painful it would be if it was struck.

"Kneel down!" Yelu Lie shook off the whip, pointed at Shen Qin and shouted.

But Shen Qin was indifferent and just glanced at him with cold eyes, showing no intention of obeying.

This made Yelulie even more angry and cursed: "You are a stubborn person, so I will beat you until you have to kneel down!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of the whip was like thunder, breaking through the air, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on Shen Qin's back.

Shen Qin groaned, and his body trembled slightly, but he stood tall and unyielding. There was an unyielding light in his eyes, like the stars in the night sky, bright and firm.

"Huh, you do have some backbone." Yelu Lie sneered repeatedly, the riding whip in his hand was flying like flying, and the sound of breaking the wind was as sharp as a knife, "However, the world is so big, no one can take three whips from me and not fall down!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of the whip started again, Shen Qin's body trembled, and a hint of red overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Xiao Zi felt pain in her eyes and opened her mouth to speak. Shen Qin looked back slightly and stopped her with her eyes.

He wiped the blood from his lips with his sleeve, his voice was hoarse and low, and there was a touch of sarcasm on the corner of his mouth: "The general is extremely powerful and capable. Back then, you made him go away in confusion, and today you whipped me indiscriminately. Isn’t that chilling!”

"Don't mess with the morale of our military by confusing right and wrong again!"

As soon as these words came out, Yelu Lie's expression froze, and then he became angry and raised his whip to beat him again.

"General, please show mercy!"
