Seduction

"Zhang Jiyao wants to use Tianguan to consume you, or to say, to use you to consume Tianguan." Wu Zheng said, "Think about it, the moon in the first drought is just a time of weakness, who doesn't want to take a bite? But at this time, Tianguan is watching, even if he gets his hands on this country, he won't be able to sit still."

Chen Jiang seemed to understand the meaning of Wu Zheng, and couldn't help laughing, "At this time, Gu Chengyuan came here again disguised as a ghost, and the team fought back and forth several times. Gu Chengyuan is really Zhang Jiyao's nemesis."

Wuzheng nodded, "And you don't know, the weapons and weapons used on both sides are all from his Gufu."

"Gu's?" Chen Jiang was a little surprised.

"Gu's underground business. I only found out about it from Ah Li not long ago. It was Gu Qing who told him." Wu Zheng said, "In the final analysis, he is a businessman, so how could he ignore the opportunity to make money? It's hard for Lu Xian to return."

"Lu Xian? By the way, how is he doing now? Why has he remained silent for so long?"

"When the new Lord Lu Xian takes office, he must not be supported by the veterans in the court. Gu Qing made a deal with him and asked Lu Xian to exempt him from taxes for a period of ten years. He will be responsible for all the food and grass for this war, and he will also appoint the general to ensure that Lu Xian will win the battle. Jiangshan." Wu Zheng smiled helplessly, "There is no guarantee for this war. Lu Xian's fault was that he was too anxious and believed this fox. In order to win this battle, Lu Xian paid a lot of money for ammunition. , but it all fell into Gu Qing's mouth, Gu Qing's army came to fight? They came to herd sheep."

"Then Lu Xian was played so badly by Gu Qing, why is there no movement?"

"He was being criticized by the old minister." Wu Zheng said, "I have been paying attention to Lu Xian's movements a while ago. If he sends troops to attack us again, we may not be able to bear it. But you know, after the last battle ended, Gu Qing After returning the border town to us, where did the army go?"

"I don't know." Chen Jiang listened seriously and shook his head.

"Brought back to Tianguan capital." Wu Zheng said, "A group of well-equipped soldiers stood in front of the imperial city in darkness, and the ghost faces disappeared. It was completely exposed. Now that Yuezhu has recovered a little bit, it will be too difficult to fight with Yuezhu at this time. They might as well take care of themselves."

"That's reasonable, but Gu Chengyuan... didn't this offend Lu Xian."

Wuzheng shook his head, "You don't have to worry about him. Do you know why the court suppressed businessmen again and again? Because they flow too much. It's hard to manage. Lu Xian can't help but care about the situation. At least for now."

Chen Jiang couldn't help admiring, "This is really...Gu Chengyuan is really... These are also what Junshi Zhan said? Or he himself?"

"How could he talk so much to me." Wu Zheng said helplessly, "Ah Li told me later. Even the fact that he is a ghost face is the same. Look at the wound on his waist. After being discovered by A Li, he immediately recognized it. gone."

"He and the military adviser are quite honest." Chen Jiang didn't know what calculations Gu Qing had in mind, so he nodded in approval.

Wu Zheng didn't know how to explain to Chen Jiang, so he shook his head helplessly.

"I've made a note of General Chen's matter. My father refused to see anyone recently. When my father comes to court, I will discuss it with my father."

"Let's find some outsiders." Chen Jiang said.

"Of course I know." Wu Zheng nodded.

A few days later, Yuezhu was baptized by another storm. Zhan Xingruo rushed back with Lu Wangyao and Piaoyao in the rain.

As soon as Zhan Xingruo entered the Prince's Mansion, he went straight to Gu Qing's room.

Wu Zheng waited and waited for the past few days, but he didn't wait for his father to go to court, so he could only cook medicine and porridge for Gu Qing anxiously every day.

Hearing that the maid ran in in a panic and told him that Zhan Xingruo was back, Wu Zheng rushed over with a bowl.

"A Li!" The door was open when Wu Zheng passed by.

Seeing that Zhan Xingruo hadn't breathed steadily yet, he carefully helped Gu Qing who was sleeping up. Gu Qing's lips were dry and skinned. He slowly opened his eyes and took a look at Zhan Xingruo.

"The military master is back?"

"Yeah." Zhan Xingruo nodded, "I brought Piao Yao. Get up and let him see." Zhan Xingruo helped Gu Qing up as he spoke, and as soon as Gu Qing sat up, he saw Lu Wangyao with tears in his eyes. As soon as Lu Wangyao looked at him, he rushed towards him and hugged Gu Qing's waist.

"It hurts." Gu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Lu Wangyao quickly let go of his hand.

"What's wrong with you?" Lu Wangyao asked.

Gu Qing just patted him on the head, and she didn't know where to start after a long story, "Isn't this still alive? There's nothing to be nervous about. It's not the first time I've fallen down."

"Let the military division come to find Piao Yao this time, you, what kind of poison have you been poisoned by?" Lu Wangyao was burning with anxiety.

Gu Qing looked up at Zhan Xingruo, "Did the military advisor talk to him?"

Zhan Xingruo nodded.

"He happened to be there."

Gu Qing smiled helplessly, "Military teacher, think about it for me." While pretending to reprimand, while secretly shaking his hand, Zhan Xingruo glanced sideways at Gu Qing, and the hand that was hidden behind no one saw lightly. Hold Gu Qing.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Qing said.

"See a doctor quickly." Zhan Xingruo turned his head away.

Piaoyao knelt down, "I offended Mr. Gu." Piaoyao said, untied the belt of Gu Qing's clothes, revealing the strong muscles on the waist, the maid blushed and turned her head away.

"It's already started to fester..." Piao Yao frowned, "What medicine did you give him during this time?"

Zhan Xingruo gave Wu Zheng a look, Wu Zheng was taken aback, "I'll call the imperial physician right away." After finishing speaking, he turned around and called the imperial physician.

"The situation is not good." Piao Yao said, carefully cleaned the wound for Gu Qing, and set the needle on the fire, "Master Gu, it hurts a little, please bear with it." Piao Yao said.

"Okay." Gu Qing nodded, Zhan Xingruo's Adam's apple twitched, and he frowned unconsciously, watching him pierce Gu Qing's wound with a silver needle, and pick out the carrion, revealing the bloody red inside, and pus flowed from the corner of the wound's mouth down.

Gu Qing frowned, and a layer of sweat quietly appeared on her forehead.

"It's not the poison you have here." Piao Yao said.

"What do you mean?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

Piao Yao said while applying medicine to Gu Qing, "This is not a herbal medicine that was born in Yuezhu or Tianguan. I only heard it from my wife before."

He crushed the medicine in his hand, and carefully spread it on Gu Qing's wound, "This must be changed every night, don't forget. This poison must not be injured, as long as there is a wound, it will fester. Master, this is an old injury, and it can be dragged on for a while, if it is a new injury, it will be troublesome." Piao Yao told Gu Qing.

"Isn't he born here? Then, is there a cure here? What you gave him just now was the antidote?" Zhan Xingruo asked anxiously.

Fluttering shook his head, "It's not an antidote, but it can delay the ulceration of his wound. If the wound is allowed to rot..."

"What?" Zhan Xingruo lowered his voice unconsciously when he asked.

"The whole body will rot." Piao Yao said, "The poison that enters from the mouth can only be removed from the mouth, but there is a medicine here, I don't know what it is, and naturally I don't know what can be removed. Give me some time , let me think of a way." Before Piaoyao finished speaking, tears welled up in Lu Wangyao's eyes, he lowered his head and hugged Gu Qing's neck, "Brother Qing, what's going on with you..."

Gu Qing smiled and patted him.A small purse protruded from his clothes. The pink purse was nestled in Gu Qing's white clothes, which was particularly conspicuous. If Zhan Xing accidentally caught a glimpse, before he could see it clearly, Gu Qing hurriedly pulled out a hand to hold it. The purse was stuffed in.

"How old is it?" After stuffing her purse, Gu Qing touched Lu Wangyao's head with that hand.

Zhan Xingruo looked at Lu Wangyao, "Then I'll go out first. Let's have a good chat," he said.

Piao Yao also packed up her things, "I'm going to see the imperial physician." After finishing speaking, she also turned around and left.

Wu Zheng was rushing over with the imperial physician, and met Zhan Xingruo who had just come out.

Zhan Xingruo had been tired for many days, but under the sun, his face was even more pale.

"A Li, why don't you go in?" Wu Zheng asked.

Zhan Xingruo went to the stone table and sat down, "Gu Qing had a few words with his brother, and I won't be there to listen to his brother's affairs."

Wuzheng nodded, and sat down opposite Zhan Xingruo, "A Li, you should rest. You don't have to watch him day and night, I think he's been doing well recently, and he can run around by himself."

"He went out by himself?" Zhan Xingruo frowned.

Wu Zheng seemed to have done something wrong, and nodded with some guilt, "With whom?" Zhan Xingruo asked.

"I don't know, I didn't go out for long, and I came back by myself."

"Where did you go?"

"I heard from the maid that yes, Luohua Temple is quite close." No answer.

"Luohua Temple, what is he doing there?" Zhan Xingruo sighed softly, "Tell me, what's going on these days?"

Wu Zheng nodded, "Chen Jiang came to look for you."

"Looking for me? What's the matter?"

"Zhang Jiyao mobilized the army in the northwest, and the supply of food and grass has been delayed." Wu Zheng said.

Zhan Xingruo nodded, "If the calculation is correct at the beginning, and he colluded with the barbarians, then this is easy to explain, and he is consuming the army in the Northwest. Tell Chen Jiang to go back, so he can't be transferred at will. by."

"No." Wuzheng sighed, "That's why Chen Jiang came to you. If he leaves, who will deal with Kong Fuyi's army if Zhang Jiyao wants to rebel?"

"Imperial Guard." Zhan Xingruo frowned, "What's wrong with the Imperial Guard? You can tell the emperor."

"I went to see Father." Wu Zheng's face was heavy, and after a long while, he said, "During the days you left, Father actually never went to court, I insisted on going to see him."

If Zhan Xing knew that the old emperor was moody now, he would refuse to see people for more than ten days at every turn. If anyone insisted on seeing him, the end would be headed to the ground, and no one would end well.

"What did you say? The emperor didn't punish you for your crime?"

"I'm his own son, and the crown prince..." Wu Zheng gritted his teeth for a while, his eyes trembling, "What do you think the emperor wants me to do? If he doesn't punish me, what does he want me to do?"

Zhan Xingruo shook his head.

"He wants me to eat the elixir with him. He wants me to be with him and become immortal." Wu Zheng said in a very low voice, with helplessness, grief, anger and disappointment intertwined with unexplainable emotions.

"Father asked me, why should I care about the life and death of mortals..."
