The noble boy likes to play chess

The bandits were wiped out, but the busy work didn't end there. The Seventh Prince disappeared, and the birthday gifts that needed to be recovered were not found. It can be said that the purpose of their trip has not been achieved, and the two thousand elite soldiers are therefore on standby.

In order to get better sooner, Shu Jing tried not to move around as much as possible, and stayed in the second prince's camp. Qiao Qingcang also repeatedly told him to stay in bed as much as possible, otherwise, it would be a problem whether the foot injury would heal.

At dusk, dinner is usually already eaten by this time, and Shu Jing has not seen Qiao Qingcang's figure yet, so he can't help but feel a little worried.The food for these two days was brought by Qiao Qingcang when he came to help Shu Jing change his dressing. He would also talk to Shu Jing about outside matters, and Shu Jing would also ask about the second prince, but the second prince never asked about it. never came back.

An unfamiliar soldier came in with a meal. When Shu Jing saw him, he asked, "Where did Qiao Qingcang go?"

"Mr. Qiao didn't come back after going out. It was the deputy commander who ordered me to bring food when he saw that it was getting late. Mr. Shu, eat quickly, it will get cold after a while." The little soldier put the food in front of him.

"Well, put it down." Shu Jing glanced at the food, continued to look at the door, and asked, "What about the Second Highness?"

"The Second Highness has not returned for two days." The soldier replied honestly.

Shu Jing groaned, still leaning on the bed, not intending to eat at all. Seeing that the soldiers were still there, he said, "You go down first, and I will clean up later."

Bing agreed, but didn't move his body. He saw Shu Jing was in a daze, so he shot quickly, trying to catch Shu Jing.

Shu Jing's legs were injured, his hand skills did not weaken at all, and his internal strength recovered to [-]%. Not only did the soldiers fail to subdue Shu Jing, but they were acupointed by Shu Jing.Shu Jing pushed him to the ground, and picked up the food in front of him. They were all delicious in color and smell, and they didn't look poisonous individually. However, the food in the military camp was always only edible, and it was already very suspicious to have such an appearance. up.

Shu Jing didn't see anything else, so he gave up. As soon as Qiao Qingcang came back, he would probably know what the poison was and where it came from.Just now, Shu Jing was trying to test whether this soldier was an insider or kept in the dark. Now it seems that he is not even a soldier here.

At this time, Shu Jing wasn't sure if there was this soldier to support him outside. Since he was inconvenient in his legs and feet, it would be dangerous to deal with many masters or people with better martial arts.He was waiting, waiting for Qiao Qingcang or the second prince to come back.

However, the person Shu Jing waited for was not Qiao Qingcang, nor the second prince, but a burly strange man, who was called a 'general' by people outside, and his clothes were those of a first-rank military general, Shu Jing thought. Now, this bandit has already been arrested, why did he alarm a general?

The general was quite surprised to see a weak young man in the camp. When the commander of the elite soldiers explained that he was brought over by the second prince and seemed to be the second prince's favorite male queen, the general's face was very pale. Unsightly, his brows were also deeply frowned, and he scolded angrily: "How can a lowly person live in the prince's tent? The second prince is confused, don't you guys remind him!"

Such a powerful aura, it seems that he doesn't care about offending a prince. Judging from his age, he seems to be a few years older than the second prince. Shu Jing searched for information about this person in his mind, but Sheng Jing didn't seem to have such a character.He reluctantly stood up and saluted, and said: "Xia Shujing, thanks to the second prince's kindness to take him in, he arranged to recuperate here because he was afraid of disturbing more brothers elsewhere. Please don't misunderstand the second prince."

The commander looked at Shu Jing in embarrassment, and said, "Yes, Mr. Qiao has been taking care of him all the time, and Mr. Qiao even ordered him not to disturb Mr. Shu's recovery."

Is this justification?So more like a complaint?Shu Jing smiled wryly, and said, "Qiao Qingcang said don't disturb, and someone bothered to bring me dinner. It's really kind."

The commander took a closer look at the soldiers on the ground. As soon as he came in, he wanted to kick this rude boy hard. When the general arrived, he was lying on the ground motionless, but he looked carefully, no, this was not his soldier!The [-] elite soldiers this time were all selected from the Shengjing garrison. Even if there were some who couldn't name them, they wouldn't be so shameless. He stepped forward and kicked the soldier, shouting at him angrily, But the soldier looked pained and remained motionless.

Looking at the angry commander, Shu Jing said flatly: "I tapped his acupuncture points, and there is something wrong with the things he brought in. It would be more appropriate to deal with it when Qiao Qingcang comes back."

"Why? Without Qiao Qingcang, the commander-in-chief can't handle things?" The general questioned Shu Jing while looking at the commander-in-chief.

"If this commander is effective, he wouldn't let the bandits with hundreds of people almost take over the camp. If the second prince hadn't tried his best to turn the tide, I'm afraid that he would have to flee back to Shengjing, right?!" To tell the truth, Shu Jing was very impressed with the commander. If you question your ability, you are simply a fool who only knows how to talk on paper.

The general looked at the commander with stern eyes, and the commander avoided his gaze guiltily.

When the atmosphere was tense, Qiao Qingcang came back and saw the general as soon as he came in. He was very pleasantly surprised: "So the general came here. I saw your troops outside, but when I saw your people, I thought it was yours. You have returned to Shengjing first, this time I really thank the general for his generous help and solved our urgent need."

"I'm not that bastard like my second brother, I often leave you alone and disappear!" Seeing Qiao Qingcang, the general's expression softened a lot.

Only then did Shu Jing know that this was the eldest prince Xuanyuan Wenfeng, and of course, he was also his elder brother.The eldest prince went to the battlefield when he was 13 years old, and he rarely came back this time. Ten years later, he shocked the government and the public with his illustrious military exploits.When the eldest prince joined the army, Shu Jing was only two years old, and he only met him once after that, it's normal that Shu Jing didn't recognize him.

Qiao Qingcang didn't greet the general too much, and when he came over, he asked Shu Jing to sit down and reprimanded him for being disobedient.

Shu Jing listened quietly, and waited for Qiao Qingcang to stop before saying, "This food seems to be poisonous, take a look."

"Where did it come from?" Qiao Qingcang asked while fiddling.

"The one lying on the ground was brought in and wanted to force me to eat it." Shu Jing said calmly.

Qiao Qingcang took out some silver needles and leaves to try one by one, and sighed: "Brother Shu Jing, your life is really valuable. This poison is not something you can buy casually. It is colorless and tasteless, and once poisoned, you will surely die. You can find all of this, really good!"

"After eating unpalatable food for a few days, seeing these dishes, I really want to eat them! Thinking about how the level of cooking has soared today, besides, the second prince eats the same food as ordinary soldiers Food, there is no reason to give me an extra meal, right?" Then he said to Qiao Qingcang pitifully, "I can see whether this thing can be eaten, I'm really hungry."

Qiao Qingcang rolled his eyes helplessly: "This time it took many days longer than expected, and there were more than 100 more mouths for no reason. We ran out of food. Thanks to the general who sent us rice in time, it will still be cooking. Don't worry. " He put down the medicine, told Shu Jing to stay well again, and asked the general to gather in the tent where the affairs were discussed, and casually picked up the people on the ground.

Outside the camp, the general said to Qiao Qingcang: "Tomorrow morning, the two thousand defenders will return to Shengjing together with my troops. It is better to bring this wounded back together. Let him prepare."

Qiao Qingcang said: "The Second Highness also has the same intention. It is a burden for these people to stay. However, Shu Jing and Zhao Jie, the third leader of the bandits, will stay, and the rest will also be taken away by the general. To be honest, our There are not many people coming, so we can’t escort too many people.”

"Then it's settled." The general readily agreed.
