laughing soul

Qiu Sheng didn't stay in Weizhou for too long. He really had nothing to negotiate with Deng Qi's grandson. Seeing that this long-lasting battle would be dragged on for more than half a year, he thought about the time in his heart. The time limit on the other end was also approaching, and the decision was made to fight a protracted war, and he packed up his clothes and returned to Beijing for the time being.

He really didn't know if he didn't fight, he never thought that he would be lucky enough to meet such an enemy who was neither arrogant nor impetuous on the battlefield.Compared with Deng Qi's blunt knife-cutting style of warfare, which led tens of thousands of people to bluff and bluff, and then turned around and ran away after arousing the opponent's enthusiasm for fighting, Qiu Sheng even began to self-reflect countless times earnestly and piously. To study whether my own style of play, which is just doing nothing, has long been abandoned by the times, and now it has been updated.

It's boring to go head-to-head with such a coward. Qiu Sheng ordered Gao Li Wang Dengbie to mess up the rhythm, and just followed him back and forth for a while. The national strength of Da Yue is always slightly stronger than that of Xiao Beili. Can't stand it.

He himself drove Xue Qianli to the Huadu Station first, and asked for a long time whether the local people had a doctor here, but after all the inquiries, he only found one person, Xu Liushan.

He Lingyu's neighbor is a young man who always wears an old man's mask when he has nothing to do.When Qiu Sheng got sick and saw blood when he was suppressing the bandits in Huadu, he always came to him to bandage and treat the wound. This person can barely be regarded as the savior of Long Live Lord. Later, when he came to He Lingyu, he would definitely pay a visit. Let's take a look at this young man who endures the harsh hands and cold violence of his subordinates every day. After going back and forth, the two of them will become acquainted.

Qiu Sheng stood at the door of Xu Liushan Medical Center suspiciously for a long time, thinking: It can't be such a coincidence, can it?

If this is the case, then he may not need to go to Tianyuan Temple to see the monks to study Chu Yu thoroughly.

But if... any flower can cure diseases, wouldn't it be just for fun again, right?

Aware of her abnormal negative emotions, Qiu Sheng supported her forehead with a chuckle, calmed down her distracting thoughts a little, raised her hand and knocked on the door and said, "Brother Xu, it's me, Xiao Sheng."

There was a shout from inside the door: "Come here!"

The door opened, and it was indeed Xu Liushan standing at the door. As soon as he saw Qiu Sheng, he wiped his hands covered with herbs heavily on the gown in front of him, and then pulled Qiu Sheng's arm : "Why do you want to come to me when you have time? Are you busy in Dali Temple?"

Qiu Sheng relied on that token to conceal her identity when she went out, and she also wore the official uniform of Dali Temple.He sat down on the wooden chair carelessly, put on his legs like a disciple, and reached out to take the tea cup handed over by Xu Liushan: "Brother Xu, I'm here to inquire about someone, I wonder if Brother Xu can..."

Xu Liushan readily agreed: "You say so!"

Qiu Sheng looked up at his face, and said bluntly: "Chu Yu, or his false identity, Master Jingsheng of Tianyuan Temple."

As soon as he said the first two words, Xu Liushan's face through the bearded mask froze immediately, and he was about to turn his head to calm down and think for a while, but Qiu Sheng couldn't give him this chance at all.His crossed legs drew a circle in the air and lowered, he reached forward and grabbed Xu Liushan's sleeves tightly, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Brother Xu, you know him."

Xu Liushan's heartbeat immediately became chaotic, and he thought about it. Before leaving, Chu Yu told him not to reveal his identity. He knew that Dayue and Cui Weige had old grievances, and it was even more inconvenient to know that Qiu Sheng was an official Knowing so clearly, he should help the pavilion master to cover this matter out of reason and reason.

He was about to make up a set of nonsense to fool people first, but he happened to meet Qiu Sheng's straight eyes, and by the way, he looked at the long sword Chengying pinned to his waist.

Since he was from Dali Temple, if he opened his mouth to lie, he would not be able to fool the other party, and he might have to give him a raw beating.

As soon as he hesitated, he knew that there was no way out. After thinking about it, he thought of the dozen or so letters sent intermittently in these days and months, and considering the image and clothing of the sender, Xu Liushan couldn't help but look squarely at what Qiu Sheng meant. Unidentified eyes, from between the slightly deep brows, actually figured out some undisguised worry.

So he was the letter writer.

It was impossible to hide the truth, so Xu Liushan had no choice but to consider how to make his words more tactful and understandable, but this statement would inevitably involve the grievances and resentments of the previous dynasty, and he did not have any feelings for Qiu Sheng's disposition. Know more, I'm afraid that if you shake it out like this, it will be ruined.He is usually a clumsy person, so he would kill him if he insisted on words like this, he didn't let out a fart when he watched the time go by.

Qiu Sheng stared at him without blinking. After a long time, his eyes became sore, so he closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate, determined to give in, and said in a low voice: "Forget it, tell me about his illness, how is the treatment going? From now on. Finally, will this chronic illness cause some...unforeseeable obstacles to him? Explain his physical condition clearly, and avoid the rest first."

Let's step aside for the first time.

Hearing the words, Xu Liushan felt as if he had been pardoned, and replied with a long sigh of relief: "He was born with a poisonous bone, and he was accompanied by illnesses since childhood. This thing could make him invulnerable to all poisons in his early years. When the poison enters his body, it will be as usual. Meals enter your body as normal, and there is no danger of life. But the poison accumulated in childhood will not be truly digested or excreted from the body. It will accumulate slowly day after day, and over time, it will damage the internal organs and burn the flesh. One day, these age-old poisons will kill him by the last straw. This poison came from childhood, but I have already cleaned his blood and deboned him. No matter how well he recuperates, he will not There's no more trouble."

He raised his hand and patted Qiu Sheng's shoulder lightly, who raised his head and forced a smile.

"As for future worries, if he takes care of him quietly according to my instructions, I, Xu Liushan, dare to guarantee with my life that nothing will happen to him."

Qiu Sheng gritted his teeth and endured a convulsive heartache, and asked, "Why...why do you still need to be contaminated with poison? Now that you know about it, why didn't you recuperate earlier? You have to wait until..." He bowed his head, unable to continue .

Xu Liushan smiled wryly: "In the early years, anyone who touched a little bit of a star would not be able to escape death... Xiaosheng, there are many desperate places and helpless actions in the world. They are only young children, and they have no ability to resist this at all. Ye Xiaozhou just drifted with the tide. Now he has the courage to go against it, which is already very brave."

Qiu Sheng raised his head to look at him with red eyes, remained silent for a while, finally couldn't hold it back, closed his lips tightly, but let out a muffled moan from the depths of his throat that seemed to be extremely painful, as if he had suffered the pain of evisceration for months People are just like him.

There is still a blood-stained cloth towel on the table, Chu Yu’s handwriting on the rice paper in the corner of the small case, and the smell of the herbal medicine that the man took for a long time in the room... The man must have just left, and there are still remains of him in the small medical clinic. There was a clear trace of coming, Qiu Sheng recalled the slightly shallow and erratic handwriting in the person's letter, suddenly a sharp pain in the chest came, and at the same time, a huge sense of powerlessness came, almost unavoidable.

He is rich and vast, and thousands of people in the world let him go at his beck and call. When he was worshiped by the people of the world, he thought he was omnipotent. Only now did he realize that the emperor's family is just a fake skin that is gorgeous on the outside and rotten on the inside.

When that man was suffering, he was trapped by the government. Now that he is known to be vicious, there is nothing he can do except wait endlessly.

He knew that his almost uncontrollable performance must have frightened Xu Liushan, and the facts that came out of his mouth must be the product of cutting out the most sharp points. What exactly did Chu Yu go through? Got it.

"Thank you Brother Xu," the tone in his chest calmed down, Qiu Sheng stood up and bowed to Xu Liushan, "I still have some trivial matters to go back to Beijing to deal with, so I will not accompany you, so I will leave."

More than half of September has passed, the lingering heat has not dissipated, and the breeze at night is already a bit chilly. Qiu Sheng hurried on the road, only wearing a thin dress, and when the cold blew suddenly, the goosebumps all over her body were frozen alive After waking up for three minutes, Xue Qianli noticed that her footsteps suddenly slowed down, and the chill of the wind was gone from her whole body, and she immediately became warmer.

He stretched out his hand to stroke the soft and fine down on the horse's back, and sighed softly.

The timing of Qiu Sheng's arrival was actually very coincidental. It happened to be exactly the same time as when Chu Yu got the news from Xu Liushan and went to Kunlun Mountain, then turned his horse's head and rushed to the capital.

When it comes to the unexplainable incident in Kunlun Mountain, where even ghosts and snake gods have to intervene, Chu Yu is not as frightened as Cui Wei is. Hearing Gu Wei's vague summary, he didn't wait for him After eloquently explaining the details, he waved his hand and interrupted: "How many trees were lost? When did you lose them? Have you seen ghosts again in the past few days?"

Gu Wei knew his temper, and continued: "Not many, at most three or five. The time is probably when the pomegranates are in bloom. As for the ghost, since the pavilion master cleaned up the female ghost last time, there is no more ghosts. , The public opinion in Kunlun Mountains is also very suppressed, so there is no need to worry about it."

Chu Yu leaned on the horse's back and smiled: "What's there to worry about? It doesn't matter if they are willing to gossip. Did you help me sort out the manuscripts I brought back?"

He didn't stay in the capital for a long time, so he had to split other people's day time into two halves. In the middle of the night, taking advantage of no one, he did some shady and sneaky things along the night. Studying ancient medical books before the case, combined with the theory of the books and my own life experience, after a few books have been mastered, there are still some big gains in the end.

I wrote the manuscript stroke by stroke with my own hands and sent it back to Kunlun Mountain.

Seeing that Gu Wei nodded, Chu Yu was about to get out of the horse's belly and leave. The sweaty horse had just walked a few steps, but was restrained. He suddenly turned around and added: "Go back and tell Cui Wei that you don't need to pursue this matter any more. , Sulfur charcoal wood and soap medicine Lingquan should be given away, and if there is such a situation, just send me a report and report the amount, no more is needed."

Gu Wei was stunned for a while after listening to his endless exhortations, and then he realized that if Chu Yu could say such a thing, he already knew the name of the thief in all likelihood.

Know who it is, but don't reveal it.

He was a little puzzled, Chu Yu was soft-hearted, but it was impossible to endure such corrupt things that harmed the country and the people.Since it's not that you don't want to take care of it, then you just can't take care of it.

Gu Weiwu stared at Chu Yu's back in a daze, trying to figure out something, but his mind was still blank. The old man who was going away didn't have the energy to worry about his inexplicable doubts. He just stopped not long ago. The pain of evisceration, the spine is still injured after all.It is true that the poison attached to it has eroded his mental strength and body, but it has also grown together with his spine during the long years. At that time, he lay on the bed day and night and his back was weak, but now he is riding. After bumping the horse all the way, I felt that the sharp and distinct pain became more severe. For a while, I could only use the strength of the saddle to slowly bend my body, and slowly wait for the wave of severe pain to subside a little.

While he was in pain, the altar was very clear. After a while, he was puzzled by Chu Quan's unusual attitude.

It's true what Xu Liushan said, if the black smoke engulfed his consciousness, he would be almost powerless to fight back. Having been together for more than 20 years, he knew Chu Quan's extreme desire for this body, so persistent and evil obsession, what happened now?Isn't it the best choice to take advantage of others' danger?

He walked very slowly along the way, and wandered into the imperial city, but it was just at midnight, the exhaustion of the boat and the pain drained a lot of energy, he grabbed the mask and tore it off, and leaned against the door frame of the small bamboo house. superior.

It took at least a cup of tea before the eyes gradually became clear. Chu Yu raised his head and looked into the room, and his breath suddenly tightened.

Candles were lit in the inner room, and Qiu Sheng's silhouette fell on the partition screen, creating some sense of loneliness that the ancient Buddha with blue lights had left for the rest of his life out of thin air.

Chu Yuming knew that his trip was justified, and he also knew that even though the man went to Weizhou to fight, there was no serious problem at all, and both sides could be said to have returned safely. The reason why I even panicked inexplicably.

He stood up slowly, sighed softly, and pushed open the door.

In the middle of the night, everything was silent, Chu Yu swayed over without any cover, stuck to the door for a long time but didn't come in for a long time, it can't be said that the movement was not clear, at least Qiu Sheng sat in the inner room and listened to it.

He stared at the bright and dark lights, and the time spent waiting for the other party seemed to be wiped out at this moment. The anxiety and anxiety in his heart miraculously turned into a calm sigh, and he grabbed the book on the table, not taking his eyes off I stared at it for a long while, but didn't read a word.

I can't tell whether I want that person to come in or not.

The people outside the door didn't give him any more time to hesitate, Chu Yu looked over with a pale face and stood in the darkness with his long messy hair, and smiled at him.

The origin, black smoke, Cui Wei Pavilion... He suddenly didn't want to know anything anymore.

Qiu Sheng put aside a memorial whose corners were crushed by him, trimmed the candles and burned them brighter, seeing that the light reflected the sharp-cut face of the person in front of him red, she closed her eyes with a low smile. Touched his shoulder: "I miss me to death."

Chu Yu suddenly felt that the palpitations caused by the unknown communication just now were unreasonable. Just as he was about to answer the conversation, Qiu Sheng's hand on the shoulder blade suddenly slipped down, and the whole back suddenly burned.He turned around and clasped the opponent's wrist, but he couldn't hold back a soft hum.

Faint blood oozes through his thin clothes, Qiu Sheng gently pulled out his hand, while Chu Yu didn't notice, he quickly grabbed him and put him face down on the bed behind him, without waiting for Chu Yu to come back Shenlai struggled a few times, pinched the thin and light fabric with his fingertips and tore it fiercely.

It's one thing to really hear a story, but quite another to see it with your own eyes.

At this moment, Qiu Sheng only felt that the shocking wound, the sticky blood sticking to his clothes and flesh wounds were like a raging fire, which forcibly burned his mind and reason, and went forward to kill thousands of enemies. At this time, it was as if he was dizzy with blood, the man's white and blood-stained back immediately turned into a sharp knife, piercing straight into his heart, and the world spun for a while.

Chu Yu was attacked once, so he had to lie down and let others watch for a while. Seeing that Qiu Sheng didn't respond for a long time, he turned his head and smiled, "Master Qiu, what is your hobby?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Qiu Sheng changed his eyes and looked at his eyes. He wanted to pretend to be fierce, but he really didn't have the ability. After holding his breath for a long time, he asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts, it feels like half of the bones have been worn away," he said, but he still smiled, "Didn't you go to the Weizhou military camp? Now that you are born, you have won the battle?"

Seeing that he was going to change the subject blatantly, Qiu Sheng only gave him a hard look from where he couldn't see, and obediently went to the side to get a clean cloth towel to clean up his wound: "Deng Qi is the same as Latour is very different. He is very patient, has a lot of insidious tricks, and is often willing to hurt the enemy's eight hundred and self-defeating one thousand. You can't reason with him. This club is now beating the Northwest Army like a dog. Such a consumption method They won't get any advantage if they discount it. I hate protracted war the most in my life, and I really don't want to be played like a dog. There are still government affairs in the capital, and Jingran is too small after all... There is one more thing, "

He leaned down slightly, put his arms on Chu Yu's side, and said in a deep voice close to Wen Ruan's earlobe, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, we will be reunited as a family."

Chu Yu was itchy in his ear pinnae from a gust of warm wind, and was about to straighten his back and sit up, but Qiu Sheng pressed him on the bed first, melted the cotton and gold powder with warm water, took another cloth towel and gently Dip: "I was worried that you didn't come back from Huadu, so I took another detour. The person who treated you was called Xu Liushan. He has good medical skills, so I can rest assured."

He paused, because the man's back froze instantly.

Chu Yu only felt that the pain in his back could be ignored. Beads of sweat slowly trickled down the side of his neck and into his collar, making him shiver from the cold.

"I didn't ask anything, except your illness." Qiu Sheng reached out to wipe away the sweat and pinched Chu Yu's face. If you don't, then let it go, don't..." Before he finished speaking, he saw a letter bird flying in from the door, with an urgent military newspaper tied to its paw, and the conversation stopped immediately.

He took a new inner coat from the big cabinet, avoided Chu Yu's wound and wrapped him up on the spot, reached out to take the letter bird, bent down and opened the letter in front of Chu Yu's sight.

Chu Yu looked up at him, and moved half of the bed to him.

There is a rule in the Dai Viet Army that all urgent military newspapers should be fixed with red bandages, but just in case, military newspapers in different places will still be different. It is very important to see which military newspaper first.Among them, the local pro-military battle reports have always been written on ordinary rice paper. Once the person who wrote the battle report is not very skilled, it is often a heavy copy in a large envelope, while the military newspapers of the Northwest Army and the South Camp are all written in sea pattern. Written on paper, the lengthy and complicated frontline situation is rolled into a small ball, only a little bit as big as a bird's claw.

As for the difference between the Northwest Army and the South Camp, the former used to use cavalry to send military reports, while the latter often used letter birds to save time and effort.But it's not that the generals of the Northwest Army are out of their minds and have to fight against him. It's just that there are always countless people who love to catch birds in the northwest of Dayue. No matter how high or far the bird flies, it can be shot down with a slingshot.A long time ago, the Northwest Army didn't notice this matter, so they asked the ordinary people to write several urgent battle reports, consciously ordering punishment and pleading guilty for no reason, but they didn't expect the customs of the Northwest people to come up.

There is no doubt that this is an urgent battle report from the South Camp.

Han Jianhua honestly asked to resign and return to the barracks as soon as the New Year's Day was over. Unexpectedly, after a few days of peace, the Nanban had another dispute.

After reading the ten lines at a glance, Chu Yu turned to look at Qiu Sheng: "Have you colluded?"

Qiu Sheng squeezed the corner of the letter paper tightly: "It's time for the Qing Dynasty court style."

There was an undisguised murderous look in his tone, which made people's hairs stand on end.
