After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

Huai Zhen is a prince who holds the military power in his hands, and it is impossible for Emperor Qin to let him stay in a place where he can easily escape control for a long time.

After the situation in Qizhou stabilized, Taifu Wenteng was ordered by Emperor Qin to carry out the transfer of local power in the name of entertainment.

Huaizhen had two teachers who had a profound influence on him in his life. One was General Wen Chong who took him to the battlefield to teach him military discipline and art of war when he was 15 years old. Confused Wen Taifu.

Emperor Qin Huaiyuan's heirs withered, and there were only three princes in total. The Kaimeng teachers of these three princes were all Wen Teng, which shows Huaiyuan's trust and respect for Wen Teng.

When Wen Teng and his party arrived in Qizhou, Huai Zhen personally greeted him. Wen Taifu stood at the bottom of the steps and saluted Huai Zhen.

Wu Mang whispered to Tu Wei on the side: "Didn't Your Highness tell us before that his mentor is only General Wen? Why is he called Wen Teng as a 'mentor' now?"

Without waiting for Tu Wei to answer, Ning Yuanqiu first said: "The etiquette on the scene will naturally have to be passed. Wen Teng is the emperor's confidant, and this trip is to inspect Qizhou on behalf of the emperor, so it is natural to be considerate."

Wu Mang muttered: "The Qizhou that the prince has worked so hard to conquer, don't end up becoming the fiefdom of King Rui again."

Tu Wei whispered: "Brother Wu, what our lord wants is never a small piece of fiefdom. As long as the military power is in hand, even if King Rui sits on the throne, he will have to get out obediently in the end."

"Alright, Tu Wei, don't make some things too clear." Ning Yuanqiu interrupted, "I asked you to hide Chu Shao, have you hidden it well?"

Tu Wei: "In the inner palace of Chu Shaoguan, Murong put some tranquilizing medicine into his diet this morning. It is estimated that he will be able to sleep until the prince returns to his room tonight."

This group of people had become accustomed to the fact that Chu Shao slept with King Yu every night.

Ning Yuanqiu said: "That's good, we must not let Wen Teng know Chu Shao's true identity, otherwise Chu Qingxu's life may be in danger."

Chu Shao wore a mask on the battlefield in the past, and no one knew his real face. Compared with his real name, the name Nanxi was more resounding.

Except for those who were lucky enough to see Chu Shao's true face in the Raoyin Valley back then, very few people knew that Chu Shao was the former Nan Xi.

The fact that the people in the city supported Chu Shao could be attributed to the support of the founding officials of the Chu family. Nanxi's reputation does not mean that Nanxi is famous.

Ning Yuanqiu said rather worriedly: "Wen Teng is an old fox, we may not be able to hide this matter from him. In any case, we have to cover up for the prince."

Wu Mang couldn't help asking: "Your Highness really intends to bring Chu Shao back to Suizhou?"

Ning Yuanqiu: "I'm afraid not necessarily."

The value of Chu Shao is limited to the territory of Qizhou. If he leaves Qizhou and keeps Chu Shao by his side, it will be a fatal hidden danger for Huaizhen.

No one knows this better than King Yu himself.

When the night was dark, Huai Zhen returned to the bedroom.

As the candlelight dimmed, Chu Shao slept peacefully on the bed, and there was still a bowl of unfinished tranquilizing medicine on the small table next to him.

Murong You must have given a large dose, half a bowl of tranquilizing medicine could sleep from morning till late at night without waking up.

Huai Zhen was afraid that Murong Hui was mistaken because of his order yesterday. Seeing Chu Shao not waking up, he felt uneasy, so he asked Wen Yan to summon Murong You into the palace again.

After Murong felt Chu Shao's pulse, he said, "It's okay, the effect of this medicine is stronger for weak people, and I guess I can wake up tomorrow morning."

Huai Zhen glanced at the half bowl of medicine on the table: "He can sleep for a whole day after only drinking half a bowl? If he drinks the whole bowl, wouldn't he have to sleep for two or three days?"

Murong heard that there was reproach in Wang Ye's words, so he could only say: "After two or three days, Wang Ye will have a final decision on Chu Shao's fate."

Huai Zhen took a deep look at Murong: "Are you making decisions for me?"

"I'm just worried that the lord will soften his heart." Murong knelt down, pointing otherwise, "Your Highness, the overall situation should be the most important thing."

Wen Teng's arrival is to hand over various affairs of Qizhou.

Huaizhen was only responsible for attacking the city and cleaning up the initial mess. When Qizhou recovered from a dead city in a decent manner, it was time for the central government to let go of the unified management.

Huai Zhen retired, just like what Tu Wei said, what he wanted was never such a small fief in Qizhou.

Soon he will return to Beijing to report on his work, and the only person in Qizhou that he can't let go of is Chu Shao.

Chu Shao was a minister of subjugation, and even the sworn enemy of the former Qin army. If Chu Shao was brought back to Qin Jing, one day his identity would be revealed, and Huai Zhen would definitely be implicated.

Huai Zhen looked at the red cinnabar on Chu Shao's earlobe: "How long is the effect of the Love Gu?"

Murong You said: "Short is half a year, long is a year."

Huai Zhen confirmed: "In other words, after another year at most, he will remember everything, know who he is, and his sanity will return to normal?"

"Indeed."

Huaizhen's heart tightened, he stared at Chu Shao's sleeping face, and said softly: "After a year, he should hate me."

"Your Highness, if King Rui's party finds out that you brought Nanqi's old man by your side, it's giving someone a handle! Now the emperor is seriously ill, but it's only a matter of this year, and the position of prince has not yet been confirmed. Dingyin, Your Highness must not get confused because of Chu Shao at such a critical moment!"

"I know the severity, you step back."

Murong You was invited out by Wen Yan, only Huai Zhen and the sleeping Chu Shao were left in the bedroom.

Huai Zhen didn't blow out the candles. He was already very tired from dealing with Wen Teng today, but now he doesn't want to lie down.

In the past, Chu Shao would warm the bed for him, obediently sit on the quilt and wait for him, and when he went to bed, he would take the initiative to get into his arms and be a small warmer that he could only touch and hug.

Once the winter is over, the small heater seems to have no value in existence.

He kept Chu Shao by his side, and there was nothing to gain from seizing the reserve. If he could not become the emperor, he would live up to the expectations of his mother and concubine during his lifetime.

If one must be discarded, it must be Chu Shao.

Wen Teng changed into ordinary clothes, and took his two confidants to the center of Qizhou for a tour. He saw that the restaurant was full of guests, the merchants flowed like water, and the vendors shouted lively. Often, a three-year-old child would hold a bunch of candied haws to himself. They frolicked past.

The faction is thriving, who would dare to believe that this is a capital city that has just experienced the disaster of subjugation.

Zhao Si, who was beside Wen Teng, turned back from several shops, leaned into Taifu's ear, and said, "The prices here are also normal, and there is no difference with Qinjing."

Whether a capital city has "lived" or not depends only on money.

Generally speaking, one penny can buy a handful of green vegetables, which is a normal market transaction. If it takes one tael of silver to buy a handful of green vegetables, it means that there is a lack of supplies in the city, and even green vegetables cannot be supplied.A glimpse of the whole leopard is enough to determine whether the prosperity in front of you is an illusion of nothingness.

Now it seems that Qizhou is indeed a spring of vitality.

"In just three months, King Yu was able to manage a dead city like this." Wen Teng squeezed the white beard under his chin, and asked Zhao Si beside him, "If the same mess is handed over to King Rui, what will happen?" What will happen?"

Zhao Si: "King Rui is pampered and pampered in Beijing. If he comes, I am afraid that today's Qizhou will still be called Nanqi." The implication is that when King Rui came, he would not even be able to conquer Nanqi, a small and dilapidated country, and talked about ruling the city.

Wen Teng walked towards the peddler who was buying flowers and birds. There were also two brightly colored parrots. One was kept in a cage with bright and shiny hair, and the other was roughly tied to the bird cage. Kong Wu is powerful.

Wen Teng bought the two birds for a tael of silver, and asked Zhao Si to unlock the locks on the feet of the two birds at the same time.

I saw the rough-bred bird on the bird stand, as soon as it was freed, it fluttered its wings and rushed to the sky. I don't know how.

Zhao Si turned the cage to the outside, and the parrot flew out, but before flapping its wings twice, it fell to the ground because of its weight, and it couldn't fly as far as a farm chicken.

Wen Teng curled his lips and smiled, then suddenly asked: "Tell me, which one is King Yu and which one is King Rui?"

Zhao Si hurriedly bowed his head, and said cautiously: "The humble position is vulgar, so I dare not speak rashly."

Wen Teng raised his head, and there was no trace of the parrot in the sky, "The one that flies high is worthy of standing on a high position, but it still needs to be tied with a rope, so as not to disappear in a blink of an eye, and blind my cultivation. His blood."

On the way back to Nangong, Wen Teng deliberately stopped in front of the mansion of the Marquis of Anning, and saw that the gate of the mansion was closed, and the desolation could not be concealed in the solemnity.

"Nanqi Chu's family, who is left now?" He asked.

"Last night, the humble staff broke into the house, and there was only one white-haired old servant left. All members of the Chu family were exiled outside."

"What about the Second Young Master who was conferred by Wei Yong?"

"..."

Zhao Si can not only find out the current situation of the Hou Mansion, but he can also find out who is around Huaizhen.

Wen Teng knew what he should know.

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Yu captured Chu Shao when he attacked the city. On the day he entered the city, he even made some...intimacy with Chu Shao in front of the people of Qi."

Wen Teng sneered: "Huaizhen slapped Wei Yong's face severely in front of the common people, thanks to him for doing it."

"The humble job also found out that Chu Shao is now obedient to His Royal Highness King Yu, and seems to be a different person. His Highness... also loves him quite a lot."

"I heard that the second son of the Chu family looks outstanding, and Chu Shao is even more beautiful. It's not a crime for His Highness to be playful for a while, it's just..."

Wen Teng squinted his eyes, and took a closer look at the plaque of the Anning Hou Mansion: "If Chu Shao is the scourge of the border, he can no longer stay."

Zhao Si said: "That stupid monarch of the Wei family hates this frontier hero far more than we do. In the past three years, all traces of books related to him have been wiped out. Portrait and name, therefore, whether Chu Shao was the confidant enemy back then is still uncertain. I once approached several storytellers in the city and asked them with a hundred taels of gold as a reward, but they always asked three questions. I don’t know if they were warned. However, if your lord agrees, two more people will be arrested at night and tortured?"

"No." Wen Teng vetoed: "That person has a very high reputation in Nanqi. It is the general trend for the people to keep silent and protect him. It is not something you and I can influence. Qizhou is rare to be stable now. You can't come against the trend, and you don't have to worry about it." This is just to stir up trouble. Besides, you are arresting ordinary people for torture under King Yu’s nose, if he finds out, wouldn’t you be sowing discord between me and his teacher-student relationship?”

"Humble and dull!"

"You can investigate secretly, if Chu Shao is really the one..." Wen Teng said in a deep voice,

"Even if there is a trace of suspicion on him, I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go."

The author says:

The reason why Shao'er's identity can be concealed is because Huaizhen issued an order to warn him, and the people spontaneously protected him, even if he was really arrested and tortured, no one would say anything about it.
