Adviser should be self-improvement

After defeating King Xiangyang, Qin Ce's prestige instantly spread throughout the world.

No one doubted whether Chang'an would become Qin Ce's next stronghold. The remaining half of the people were guessing about the general trend of the world in the future, and the other half were spying on Xiangyang's territory.

Watching is one thing, but whether they can eat it is another. Now that the King of Xiangyang is alive or dead, even if the other party has become a shallow water dragon, they don't have the guts to play tricks on the other party's shrimp.

Qin Ce was very pleased with the long-standing deterrent power of the King of Xiangyang. After the soldiers took a rest, he immediately dispatched Li Yuexiong and others to capture the city in the hands of the King of Xiangyang.

Leaving aside the disputes outside, life in Chang'an went on as usual. The army of Xian Wang began to clean up the mess outside the city. Although the people of Chang'an were frightened, fortunately there were no casualties, but the smoke of the war was still there and the blood was still there, so as to avoid further troubles. Qin Ce did not Withdrawing the Forbidden City Order, it was not until a few days later that Lu Chuanfeng sent someone to send a letter. After reading the letter, he was extremely grateful for the decision of the Forbidden City.

The charcoal fire inside the house is in full swing, the floor is paved with warm jade, and on top of the warm jade, there is a thick layer of velvet blanket. Even if there is scattered fine snow outside the house, the whole house is still like a big furnace that is burning.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Chu Huaiqing's forehead, but it was hot. The golden needle in his hand was flying, and he didn't care that the sweat had dripped into his clothes. All eyes were on a man with his clothes open on the bed.

The room was extremely hot, but this thin man didn't even shed a single drop of sweat, his black hair was scattered on the bed at will, his face was lifeless gray, and his handsome face was somewhat emaciated. , Only teach others to feel distressed.

The moment the golden needle was pierced, Xie Qiongjiu's chest and abdomen jumped, and finally he woke up for a moment from the half-dizzy state - he saw Chu Huaiqing in front of the bed at a glance.

"Huaiqing..." Xie Qiongjiu was weak and moved weakly, but he couldn't sit up, as if he had been greatly wronged, and called him weakly, "It hurts... ...."

Chu Huaiqing felt that her heart was about to melt from the pain.

Unable to resist, she put her hand on the top of Xie Qiongjiu's head, and Chu Huaiqing said softly, "Be good, just bear with it."

Xie Qiongjiu said nothing, nodded his jaw slightly, raised his head accordingly, and rubbed against Chu Huaiqing's palm slightly, Chu Huaiqing no longer hesitated, raised his hand and dropped the needle, and pierced another acupuncture point.

"Well!"

Fearing that Chu Huaiqing would be worried, he bit his lower lip tightly the next moment, and suppressed the cry of pain. Xie Qiongjiu tilted his head and closed his eyes, his lips trembling slightly.

One needle was followed by a small sound of inhalation, until Xie Qiongjiu could finally breathe smoothly and his complexion was a little better, and Chu Huaiqing withdrew the needle in sweat.Giving needles at such a temperature is a physical job, and he also needs to pay attention to Xie Qiongjiu's condition from time to time.

After it was over, Chu Huaiqing's first reaction was not to wipe off his sweat, but to carefully cover the other party with the quilt.

"Is it better?" He asked softly.

"Ah."

Xie Qiongjiu let out a sigh of relief, buried half of his head in the quilt, and curled up into a ball. Even so, there was no sweat on his temples, and seven or eight charcoal pots were burning vigorously. Coupled with two thick bedding, it seems to be just the right temperature.

Chu Huaiqing patted him on the back through the quilt: "Get up and drink medicine later."

The sleepy Xie Qiongjiu gave a weak look: "Is it okay if you don't drink..."

Chu Huaiqing originally wanted to refuse, but when she met his eyes, it was suddenly difficult to say the words of refusal, so she could only politely say: "I'll talk about it after you wake up."

Xie Qiongjiu expressed his resentment, so he turned over and turned his back to Chu Huaiqing, with a pitiful look of 'you don't feel sorry for me even though I'm like this'.

Chu Huaiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was just about to speak when he heard the loud noise of the door being suddenly opened.

"gentlemen!"

The cold air rolled into the room, taking away more than half of the warmth in an instant. Chu Huaiqing felt better, but Xie Qiongjiu couldn't help shivering. I don't know how Qin Ce found out from under the thick quilt. The trembling thin figure quickly kicked the door back without hesitation.

He didn't pay any attention to the majesty of the soon-to-be emperor.

"My lord?" Chu Huaiqing glanced at Xie Qiongjiu who didn't look back, got up and saluted, "I've met my lord."

Qin Ce supported Chu Huaiqing's half-bent waist with one hand, lifted it up, and kneaded Chu Huaiqing's cheek punitively, his deep and dark eyes were clearly dissatisfied with Chu Huaiqing's politeness.

There are no outsiders here.

Let's take Xie Qiongjiu as a decoration for the time being.

Chu Huaiqing was taken aback for a moment, then shifted his gaze uncomfortably, Qin Ce smiled and walked to the bed.

It will take a while for the heat to gather again, Qin Ce said bluntly: "Mr. Xie, please extend your hand first."

Xie Qiongjiu rolled his eyes and ignored it. He was not on official business and was tired. He didn't really want to see this old man.

"The search at Longji Pass has already come to fruition." To deal with the arrogant Xie from time to time, Qin Ce, who has learned from Chu Huaiqing, has his own way. "Don't you want to know, Army Master Xie?"

"......"

Xie Qiongjiu turned over slowly, and stretched out his hand slowly.

Qin Ce held Xie Qiongjiu's wrist, pouring a steady stream of internal energy into the opponent's body, and then let go of his hand without stopping at all. Xie Qiongjiu also frowned unwillingly, and then For a while, he retracted his hand.

Never admitting that his body did feel better, Xie Qiongjiu asked: "How is the situation?"

"Someone got away."

"What?" Xie Qiongjiu sat up in shock.

"The bodies of more than 100 soldiers were found in the south of Longji Pass, and in front of them, there was a small opening for only one person to pass through." Qin Ce said, "No one knows that there will be a way out."

Xie Qiongjiu slammed his fist on the bed, breathing unevenly, rubbing his forehead and sighing.

After admiring the other party's remorse enough, Qin Ce was aware of Chu Huaiqing's arm, and then said slowly: "But the king of Xiangyang should not be among the escaped ranks."

Xie Qiongjiu raised his head immediately.

"Two charred corpses were also found in Longji Pass. The king of Xiangyang was relatively strong, and one of them was about the same height. His remaining underwear samples were also made of Xiangyang's famous brocade. Clothing stores that have this brocade It is an unwritten rule that only works for dignitaries and nobles. In addition, there is a bullet hole on the back of this man's hand. When I was fighting with him, he happened to be shot in the palm of his hand by the bullet. "

Xie Qiongjiu looked at him with a blank face, then sneered, fell back on his back, wrapped up the quilt and turned over, and used his actions to explain what is meant by the way of seeing off guests, "guests go back wherever they come from".

Facing his husband's disapproving gaze, Qin Ce shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture. Chu Huaiqing understood, glanced at Xie Qiongjiu who was unaware, and retreated with Qin Ce.

Before leaving, Qin Ce quickly picked up the cotton coat that Chu Huaiqing had put on the bed.

Inside it was a fiery purgatory, and outside it was a world of ice and snow.

As soon as he went out, he couldn't help but sneezed. Qin Ce hurriedly put on the padded coat for Chu Huaiqing. Chu Huaiqing opened his arms cooperatively to facilitate Qin Ce's movements. He asked eagerly, "What does Lu Chuanfeng say?" ?”

"He said that the person who can save Xie Poor Wine is in the city. Let us seal the gate of the city as soon as possible, and then post a notice to seek medical treatment. On the afternoon of the third day, we caught a man with a grizzled beard and a brown velvet suit in front of the notice board. old man."

"Arrest?" Chu Huaiqing asked suspiciously, "Shouldn't you invite me here?"

Qin Ce was also helpless: "The letter pointed out that the person would definitely not want to come over, so he must use force."

Chu Huaiqing was a little anxious: "Since he is not willing, how can he be willing to detoxify the poor wine?" If that person is really unwilling, even if he tortures him, who knows if he will temporarily compromise and wait for the opportunity to detoxify Xie Qiongjiu again? When it comes to hands and feet.

Don't mention the benevolence of the doctor. Although the doctor has saved many people, he is also famous for his stubbornness and eccentricity. It is rumored that he can even stand by and watch other people's limbs melted by poison and die in pain!

Qin Ce rubbed Chu Huaiqing's hair reassuringly: "Don't worry, after you're captured, you only need to ask Cao Yuan to hand over your token to that person face to face."

Chu Huaiqing's eyes flashed, as if he had found hope, but he also had doubts: "Cao Yuan?"

Three days later, in front of the bulletin board, the crowd was crowded and chattering.

"Didn't someone take down this notice two days ago?"

"It is said that he is a liar. He went for the bounty, and he was beaten and half-mutilated before being thrown out."

"This person really took the courage of his ambition. The person who issued the notice is the current Prince Gongxian, and he dared to cheat money in front of that person."

"But this ice grass poison, I have never heard of it, who can solve it?"

"If you can't get rid of it, you have to get rid of it. People who are poisoned are not ordinary people. They are one of the two famous people under King Xian..."

The old man who was passing by the notice board paused when he heard the sound, and frowned because of the "icegrass poison". When he heard what the people followed, his confusion turned into a sneer, and he just stopped and glanced at the notice board offering a reward. There were four big characters of "There must be a re-report" written on it, and he was about to leave, but at this moment, Chu Huaiqing and others who were ambushing at the side suddenly rushed out and captured the old man in one fell swoop.

"Who are you? In broad daylight—"

The old man turned pale with fright, he didn't even have time to finish his sentence, he was directly turned away by the guards, and cursed angrily.

The scolding sounded far and wide, and the people were a little ready to move. When they saw that Chu Huaiqing was the leader who took people, they immediately lost their temper. In view of the rumors of Chu Huaiqing's gentleness, a commoner boldly stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Chu, dare you?" Ask the old man what happened?"

Chu Huaiqing said seriously: "He is a suspect we have been arresting a few days ago. It took us a long time to wait for today's opportunity. The sudden attack surprised everyone."

"Suspect? That old man, he really can't be judged by his appearance."

"What did this old man do that Mr. Chu can personally arrest him?"

"No matter what happens, it's definitely not a good thing."

Hearing the whispers of the people, Chu Huaiqing coughed lightly, and quickly led the rest of the guards to follow.

After the detoxification of poor wine, he will justify Le Feihan's name and plead guilty, if Le Feihan is unwilling to save...

Suppressing the rising darkness in his heart, Chu Huaiqing took a deep breath, but the coldness in his eyes was unforgettable.

Then he really wants to—

Unbearable.
