After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

There is an open paddock ten miles outside of Nanqi. After Wei Yong succeeded to the throne, he occupied the fields of the people here and spent a lot of time building it.

The paddock has lush trees, abundant water and grass, and swarms of wild animals. It is a good place for hunting in winter and autumn.

It's a pity that Wei Yong became the king of subjugation before he even set his bow in this paddock.

Now this good place has become the boundary where Zhongqin soldiers set up camp, and the wild deer and hares in the paddock are also cooked as extra meals for Qin soldiers.

If Wei Yong saw this scene with his own eyes, he would vomit three liters of blood and die from extreme anger.

Because of the frequent news of success on the front line, the situation of subjugation of Nanqi has been decided, and the whole barracks is full of relaxed and carefree atmosphere. The Huotou army is preparing to roast a whole lamb.

When King Yu returned to the camp, all the officers and men saw that the prince had a solemn expression, holding a weak and boneless man in his arms, and rushed to the main camp with rapid steps. .

At first, everyone thought that an important general in the army was injured, but seeing that all the counselors and generals around King Yu were all beheaded and alive, they knew it was not.

It is absolutely impossible for ordinary soldiers to be treated preferentially if they are wounded, so who is the person the prince is hugging?

Even though there are many speculations, the discipline in the army is strict, and no one dares to talk too much.

After entering the tent, Huaizhen placed Chu Shao on his bed. As soon as Chu Shao lay down, he probably had his lungs disturbed, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of black blood, which not only stained the white clothes on his body, but also stained Huaizhen's bed. mattress.

The boy who waited on the prince's living in the camp trembled. The prince is the one who loves cleanliness the most, so he might be annoyed.

Huai Zhen was not angry at all, and even wiped the blood from the corner of Chu Shao's mouth with his own hands, then turned and left the bed, letting Murong You come forward to treat him.

After Murong You probed the veins and applied the needle, he opened Chu Shao's teeth and forcefully poured a bowl of dark brown concoction, which was not rude. When he let go, two red fingerprints were left on Chu Shao's white chin.

Huaizhen couldn't get used to it: "Can't you be gentle?"

Murong You: "Be gentle, slow down, and he will die. Does Your Highness know what kind of poison he took? Hedinghong!"

He took out the small porcelain bottle he found from Chu Shao, and poured out the red powder inside, "If it wasn't for the fact that the medicine hadn't been damp, and it had been left for a few years, the toxicity would gradually dissipate. He would have died a long time ago. nothing."

"He really wants to die." Huai Zhen remembered something, walked to the bedside, and pushed away Chu Shao's sleeves, "What's the reason for the scar on his wrist?"

Just now when he felt the pulse, Murong You noticed it, and he took a closer look at Chu Shao's wrist.

I saw a pea-sized circular scar in the middle of the thin white wrist, and a similar scar at the same position on the arm, which seemed to be a penetrating wound that would not heal for a long time.

Murong You pondered for a while, then suddenly sneered, "What a ruthless method."

"Why?"

"Your Highness, have you ever heard of bone-piercing nails?"

Huai Zhen frowned: "What is it?"

"That's one of the punishments in Nanqi Palace. Take a nail ten centimeters long, find someone who can perform this punishment, and chisel this wrist bone until it goes through. It's called a bone-piercing nail. Gouging through a bone nail will destroy your hands, and if you lose blood, you will lose your life. Chu Shao has learned martial arts since he was a child, and his foundation is still there. Far-fetched."

Huaizhen: "..."

The scene where Chu Shao shot him off his horse seemed like yesterday.

The mouthful of sand that fell off the horse seemed to be stuck in Huaizhen's heart. In the past three years, he has studied the art of war and practiced martial arts hard, just to avenge this shot and to avenge his shame.

But at this moment, I was told that the opponent who was in awe in the past was completely crippled as early as three years ago.

Chu Shao sat on the horse back then, stretched out the end of the spear, and the arrogance when he helped Huaizhen get up compared with the dying state in front of him, it was ironic.

Ning Yuanqiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No wonder Nan Qi is so vulnerable. It turns out that Wei Yong broke the sharp blade in his hand, so it's no wonder that the country will perish."

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the camp, the sound of clashing swords and guns, and not long after, a soldier came to report that there were prisoners making trouble outside the camp.

Huaizhen only took one person back this trip.

"Bring him in."

Si Yun was escorted into the camp by two strong soldiers. He had two fresh cuts on his face, blood was dripping, his hair was disheveled, and he was very embarrassed, but his eyes scanned everyone in the camp fiercely like a wolf cub.

Until he saw Chu Shao who was unconscious, Si Yun didn't know where the strength came from, he broke free from the restraints of the two strong men, rushed to the bed, spread his hands, and stood in front of Chu Shao, preventing anyone from approaching .

Seeing this, Huai Zhen laughed suddenly: "He is actually a loyal servant protecting the lord."

After Chu Shao jumped off the tower, Si Yun originally wanted to die together, but seeing his master being taken away by the enemy general, he stomped his feet anxiously, drew his long sword and rushed out of the city gate, intending to rob Huaizhen. General Mang saw that he was thin and small, and thought he would be easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that after dozens of tricks, he didn't get half of the advantage. In the end, he got three reinforcements, and then captured Si Yun and took him to the camp.

The dagger that Si Yun was hiding on his body was seized when he just broke out of the siege, and he was cut in the waist, and the turned out flesh was bleeding, but he didn't feel the pain.

Because Huaizhen didn't give the order, no one in the camp moved such a lethal captive.

Si Yun defended for a moment, saw that no one was doing anything, then turned around, half-kneeled in front of the bed, holding Chu Shao's cold palm tightly, seeing that he was so angry and covered in blood, his heart ached, but the sound he made was "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Woo", none of the words can be coherent.

Murong You was the first to notice something was wrong, he took advantage of Si Yun's sadness, and injected a needle into an acupuncture point on the back of Si Yun's neck.

Si Yun immediately let go of his strength, and the soldiers on the side immediately stepped forward to hold Si Yun when they saw this, and they could clearly feel that his body had weakened, and he was powerless to fight back.

At this moment Murong You stepped forward and opened his mouth, only to see that the tongue was still there, but his throat was purple and black.

"Is he a mute, or was poisoned to be dumb."

After he made this inference, the way Si Yun looked at him changed, from full of hostility to overflowing with fear.

Murong still knew what he was afraid of: "Don't worry, I never have to poison people. On the contrary, as long as you surrender to His Highness King Yu, I can still heal you."

Si Yun clenched his fists, stubbornly refusing to bow his head.

Even the servants around him were dumbfounded, Huai Zhen didn't dare to think about how dark Chu Shao must have been for the past three years.

He picked up the iron chain tied between Chu Shao's feet, the middle part of the iron chain was worn out, and it took three to five years to wear it off.

"Is there anyone in the army who can pick locks?"

A deputy general stepped forward and replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, there is a brother in the Sixth Battalion who was a locksmith before joining the army."

"Call him here, open this lock, there will be a lot of rewards."

Before the locksmith came, Ning Yuanqiu took a look and judged: "Don't worry, Your Highness, this should be an ordinary torture lock, it is not difficult to open, but this iron chain is made of black iron, it can be seen that Wei Yong wanted to lock Chu Shao, it's really a lot of effort."

The locksmith quickly entered the tent. He fiddled with the chain and carefully looked at the keyhole. As Ning Yuanqiu said, it was not difficult to open.

The locksmith pulled out a piece of iron wire and fiddled with it for a while, then heard a click, the lock was unlocked, and the iron chain fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

After three years of imprisonment, Chu Shao's ankle has left a circle of red marks.

The locksmith picked up the iron chain, and in line with the principle of thrift, said to the prince, "This is a good piece of iron that can be ground into a dagger."

Huaizhen asked him to take the iron chain to the manufacturing camp.

Si Yun saw with his own eyes that the iron chain that had locked his master for three years was lifted by the prince of Zhongqin. He was both happy and puzzled. The needles passing through the acupuncture points had failed. His physical strength recovered, but he did not struggle anymore. Seeing the hostility in Huai Zhen's eyes Already faded by half.

Murong You has been paying attention to this stubborn little mute all the time, he is very careful, and he can guess that his mood has changed just by looking at the change in Si Yun's eyes.

Wanting to step forward to persuade him to surrender again, King Yu suddenly said anxiously: "Why is the heaving of his chest getting weaker?!"

Murong You hurried forward to feel the pulse, and after a while his face darkened: "I can only cure the poison of the medicine, but not the poison of the heart."

"He can't think about it himself, and he doesn't want to live." Murong You sighed, "The Nanqi Chu family has produced generals for generations, and Chu Shao became famous at a young age, and his power shocked the border. Your Highness has suffered from him back then."

Huai Zhen stroked his forehead: "I told you not to turn over old accounts!"

Ning Yuanqiu took Murong You's words and said: "His Royal Highness saved him like this today. I think it is a hero who cherishes a hero. Just imagine a general who is in full bloom and prosperity, but is suspected by the monarch, cut off his military power, and is rewarded by the monarch in the name of military merit. Forcibly summoned into the palace, after becoming a country against his will, he is a dignified and good man, and he will never be successful in the harem."

"According to the Nanqi folks, Chu Shao must have fought hard to incur Wei Yong's harsh treatment. He was pierced with bone nails and black iron locks. Heinous repeat offenders may not have received such humiliation and punishment."

"The son of a hero of Chu Shao, he himself has made great achievements in battle, and his spirit must be higher than that of ordinary people. After suffering this inhuman humiliation and torture, if I were him, I would not want to live."

"It's a pity that today, when the soldiers are approaching the city, he is willing to stand up for the people of Nanqi. Your Highness knows that when the pillar of fragrance was burned out, the people in Qidu City just fled to Bailipo in the suburbs. That place is just within the range of the Xuanwu cannon. outside."

"He set up this empty city plan today, just to let the people escape the so-called massacre of the city."

He sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Although Chu Shao is an enemy between you and me, I really admire his integrity."

Huai Zhen waved his hand, "Don't be too busy bragging, Murong, you should think of a way to save him, I won't allow him to die."

Murong You hesitated for a moment, "It's probably useless to use medicine alone, maybe His Highness can give him a boost."

"How excited?"

"Your Highness just used the provocative method under the tower, just do it now. If you stimulate the blood in his chest, he will be able to live."

Murong still picked up a silver needle and looked at King Yu: "Your Highness, have you thought about it? If I inject this needle, Chu Shao will wake up in a moment."

Huai Zhen asked him to give the needle, and then screened everyone in the camp, and Murong You personally lifted Si Yun out.

After everyone in the camp cleared up, Chu Shao who was sleeping on the couch trembled and slowly opened his eyes.

Murong You's injection had a refreshing effect, so when Chu Shao woke up, his mind was extraordinarily clear, although he was heavy and tired, it did not prevent him from recognizing Huai Zhen.

"Queen Chu, are you awake?"

Chu Shao hated this title so much, he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't you kill me?"

Since he dared to take poison, he never thought about living again.

"I'm tired of killing today." Huaizhen twisted his wrist, pretending to be ferocious, "Qidu has a population of tens of thousands, and if each person is beheaded, my hands are sore."

"What did you say?" Chu Shao opened her scissored eyes wide, "You killed them? Impossible...they have already escaped..."

"Escape to Bailipo in the suburbs?" Huaizhen smiled and said, "You set up an empty city plan to save the people from the suffering of shelling, but who said that bombing can only be used to slaughter a city? Those of my men with knives and guns The soldiers here are not vegetarians, Bailipo is flat, there are no houses except for trees, and the people are like lambs waiting to be slaughtered with nowhere to escape."

"Hunting people is much more interesting than hunting animals, Chu Qingxu, what do you think?"

Chu Shao, who was seriously ill, believed it in Chaos, "Huai Jiugu...I'll kill you!"

"You are a useless person now, how can you kill me?" Huai Zhen grabbed Chu Shao's neck, and sarcastically said: "Look at your weak and fragile appearance, I can kill you with a flick of a finger. If you don’t listen to the advice to join Zhongqin, you want to be loyal to Wei Yong, that fatuous and incompetent person. It’s so good that you, Chu Shao, will be the first dog cooked to death by the Nanqi royal family on the day when the rabbit dies!”

"You..." Chu Shao's face turned blue, and he felt a rush of blood in his chest, which made him unable to speak, and could only glare at Huai Zhen.

"Your eyes look like you want to kill me, but it's a pity that your hand is useless. Back then, you were able to take me off the horse with a single shot. Now? You are crushed by me, and you have no strength to fight back! Chu Qingxu, we Now that I have forced you, what can you do?"

"you dare!"

"Why don't I dare?" Huai Zhen immediately untied Chu Shao's coat, and Chu Shao struggled with all his strength, and almost turned Huai Zhen over, but he was exhausted, but after two strokes, he was caught again. Huaizhen clamped his hands to fight back.

"...Unless I die." He was extremely weak, and when he gathered enough strength to speak, only the last four words were clearly spit out.

"I don't want you to die, I want to marry you into the palace and let you be my concubine."

"Don't even think about it!"

"If you can be Wei Yong's queen, you can also be my concubine!"

"You—" Chu Shao straightened her upper body, suddenly spit out a big mouthful of black blood, and then collapsed like a jade mountain, slumped back on the bed, her eyes closed tightly.

Huaizhen was startled.

"Murong!!!"

There was a loud roar from inside the tent, and Murong shot into the tent like an arrow from the string.

As soon as he checked Chu Shao's breath, he knew that something was wrong, so he quickly put a few needles on Chu Shao's chest with his open clothes.

As for why the clothes were open, he didn't dare to ask.

Before Murong You was taken into Prince Yu's Mansion, he became known as a "miracle doctor" in the world, but anyone he saved would not die, and even if he died, he would be able to regain his life. The value of Huaizhen is also the capital for him to be unrestrained and unrestrained in the army.

A moment after the needle fell, Chu Shao's chest heaved violently twice, and half of the body of the silver needle was forcefully forced out.

Murong You retracted the needle as quickly as cutting wheat, Chu Shao coughed twice in a coma, and then spewed out two mouthfuls of black blood, his pale complexion gradually turned bloody, and his breath became much more even.

Huaizhen's heart hanging in his throat suddenly fell back. He walked to the bedside, touched Chu Shao's wrist, and felt his pulse still beating, so he was completely at ease.

Murong You tidied up Chu Shao's clothes first, and then couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, I want you to be agitated, but I want you to arouse that bruise, not to kill you."

"How did I know he was so strong?" Huai Zhen felt that he was wrong, and he had no confidence in his words, "Forget it, it's good that he lives."

Murong still couldn't understand King Yu's thoughts, "How does Your Highness plan to deal with him? Take him as a hostage?"

Huaizhen asked back: "The whole Nanqi is in Zhongqin's pocket, is there any need to take hostages?"

It is not difficult to swallow the territory of Nanqi, but the difficulty is how to convince the tens of thousands of people in Qidu.

Huai Zhen looked at the comatose Chu Shao with his eyes, and had other thoughts: "It is easier to attack the city than to attack the heart, isn't it said that Chu Qingxu is Nanqi's strength of character?"

During Chu Shao's peak period, even Zhongqin was rumored about his achievements in the southern border.

Compared with the name Chu Qingxu, the world is more familiar with the name "General Nanxi".

Xi means bright, and "Nanxi" means the brilliant light on the border of Nanqi like the sun. At first, this name was only circulated among the common people, and later it was personally recognized by the former Southern Emperor Wei Qi.

Most of the scriptures circulated in the central and southern regions also use "Nanxi" to refer to Chu Shao. Since these scriptures are all about Changnan Qi's ambition to destroy Zhongqin's prestige, they were listed as banned books by Zhongqin.

However, Huaizhen kept a whole set of "The Biography of General Nanxi" privately in his mansion in Suizhou, so he knew how popular Chu Shao was in Nanqi.

Compared to the Wei family, Chu Qingxu is the light of Nanqi, the glory of Nanqi, and the strength of character of Nanqi.

It is not difficult to understand why Wei Yong is so afraid of Chu Shao, he would rather damage a border general than destroy him, because he is afraid of his achievements.

His Royal Highness Yu Wang was deeply scheming: "If Nan Qi's strength of character kneels in front of me and surrenders to me, what will happen?"

Murong You immediately understood Huai Zhen's plan.

Regardless of Chu Shao's achievements in the past, today, at the critical moment of "slaughtering the city", Chu Shao, who saved tens of thousands of lives in Qidu by one person, is already a god in the hearts of Qi people.

All the gods in their hearts submit to King Yu, and those common people will naturally bow their heads to King Yu.

"Using Chu Shao's reputation to harvest people's hearts in a short period of time, and defeating others without fighting, Your Highness is wise."

"However, Chu Shao is like Kunyu Qiushuang, if you want him to bow his head, he might as well just kill him." Huai Zhen didn't want to make Chu Shao angry again, "Is there any way to make him forget everything before?"

"Your Highness wants him to lose his memory?" Murong You suddenly realized, "Your Highness is wise and forgets the past. It can not only relieve his heart poison, but also make him loyal to His Highness without hesitation."

"There is a medicine that can be used, Shiyou flower. As long as you take this flower, your sorrow will disappear. Shiyou is in the Western Regions, and it is a side branch of the love Gu. After Chu Shao takes this flower, he will fall in love with Waking Up. The first person I saw."

Huaizhen glanced sideways at Murong You: "Is there still this medicine?"

"There are all kinds of wonders in the world, but this flower is slightly poisonous, and the time after taking it is quite difficult."

"How hard is it?"

"It is inevitable that there will be loss of appetite and fatigue, but these symptoms will gradually alleviate as the toxicity dissipates."

"It doesn't sound too difficult."

Huai Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong with letting Chu Shao, a frail person, suffer all this.

"However, this flower is harmful to the mind. After taking it for a month, you may be a little stupid."

Huaizhen pondered for a moment before saying: "Huiji will be hurt, and being stupid is a blessing he can't ask for."

"Your Highness, you need to keep in mind that after the Love Gu is planted, a red cinnabar will appear on the lobe of Chu Shao's left ear. If the cinnabar is bright in color, the poison is at its peak. He must be obedient to His Highness. The cinnabar is light and the toxicity is weakened." One day, when the cinnabar on the earlobe fades to the point where you can't see clearly, Chu Shao's mind will be back to normal, and if His Highness still needs to control him at that time, I can play Gu again."

Huaizhen hasn't thought that far: "You just need to make sure that the poison won't hurt his life. We'll talk about the rest later."

Shiyou flowers are rare, and Murong You got one when he traveled to the Western Regions earlier, and brought it with him because he thought it was a novelty, but he didn't expect it to come in handy this time.

He boiled the flower water three times, and got a bowl of brown thick juice, which smelled from a distance, it was a strong and strange fragrance.

Chu Shao hadn't woken up yet, and Murong You was about to force him down again, when Huai Zhen took the lead and said, "I'll do it."

He put one hand on Chu Shao's back, lifted his upper body, hugged him in his arms, took the medicine bowl with his hand, and pressed the edge of the bowl to Chu Shao's lips.

Although Chu Shao didn't wake up, he was much better than when he was in a complete coma before. He didn't clenched his teeth too tightly. After the medicine juice entered, he tasted some sweetness in the chaos, and then he swallowed it smoothly.

After feeding a bowl of medicine, Huaizhen lightly held the back of his head, put him back on the bed, and turned to Murong You, "When will he wake up?"

"It should be soon."

"Then you still not going out?"

"what?"

"The first person he sees when he wakes up is me. Do you want Chu Shao to fall in love with you?"

"I retire!"

When Murong Miracle Doctor who was thrown away after use came out of the tent, he shook his head and sighed, Ning Yuanqiu, who had been waiting outside the tent, saw him like this, thought that the situation was not good, and hurried forward and asked, "Could it be that Chu Shao is hopeless?"

"No." Murong You patted Ning Yuanqiu on the shoulder, unable to explain, "I'm afraid our lord is hopeless."
