After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

Everyone's mouths were so shocked that they could stuff an egg.

Chu Mingzi forgot to blink the tears from her eyes, and Sun Jun saw Hu Hun's slumped on the ground, and the hair on his back stood upside down.

Victory and defeat.

Chu Shao withdrew his moves, only to see Huai Zhen appearing in the audience at some point.

He wanted to step off the stage, but he staggered and fell forward. Huai Zhen stepped forward to catch Chu Shao's softened body in time.

After Chu Shao fell into his arms, a tight string suddenly broke, and his eyelids were too heavy to hold open, but he grabbed Jiu Gu's collar with his hands, and asked angrily, "Chirp!" Goo... I... didn't embarrass you, did I?"

As if the softest flesh of his heart had been sharpened by a blunt knife, Huai Zhen hugged the exhausted Chu Shao horizontally, and stared at Sun Jie on the rockery with murderous eyes.

Sun Jie was stared at by King Yu, and instantly felt that he was gone on the spot.

He wanted to rush down to explain, but unexpectedly he walked in a hurry, tripped over the corner of the table, and rolled down the rockery.

"Sun Shao!?" Everyone exclaimed, some reached out to pick it up, and some watched the excitement.

Not long after, Sun Jie rolled onto the flat ground, utterly embarrassed, he yelled in pain, trying to arouse Huai Zhen's pity, but Huai Zhen didn't even look at him, he just hugged the fainted Chu Shao with care, striding forward like flying out of his sight.

Chu Mingzi poohed in the direction of Sun Jie, and raised her skirt to follow King Yu's pace.

Sun Jie: "..." wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Brother Murong! Brother!!" Tu Wei rushed into Murong You's mansion. Hearing that Murong was still drunk, he rushed to the bedroom without saying anything. He picked up the medicine box with one hand and carried Murong out of the mansion like a pig with the other. On the street, Murong woke up a little bit, and leaned on Tu Wei's body and asked, "What's the matter, a disturbing dream early in the morning!"

"Your uncle's are all fucking sunburned!" Tu Wei hurriedly rushed to the palace, "Chu Shao had an accident, his hands were swollen to the point of being as swollen as steamed buns, you should quickly think of a way!"

"?!!"

"You let me down, I'll go by myself." When he heard that it was about Chu Shao, Murong woke up instantly, and after he got off the ground, he hurried to the palace with Tu Wei.

On the way, Tu Wei roughly explained what happened, and Murong You frowned so much that he could kill a fly.

When I saw Chu Shao's hands in the palace, I thought it was not a pair of steamed buns, but a pair of sweet potatoes.

His wrist was red and swollen all the way from the scar of an old injury, and more than half of his entire arm was congested and bruised. It was shocking to see, Chu Shao's eyes were tightly closed, his lips were pale and chapped, and his condition was extremely bad.

Chu Mingzi clutched the handkerchief, she was so frightened that she burst into tears, but she didn't dare to cry out to make trouble.

Huai Zhen was quite calm. After all, Chu Shao almost died twice in front of him. Compared with the previous two times, the current situation is much better.

He patiently waited for Murong to finish his pulse diagnosis before asking: "How is it?"

Murong sighed and said, "The old illness was severely injured twice by external force, and more than half of the blood was blocked. If the opponent uses more force, Chu Shao's life will be in jeopardy."

Chu Mingzi got down on the ground, and immediately knelt down to apologize: "It's all my fault, I didn't protect him well."

Huaizhen asked Wen Yan to help Miss Chu's family up, "It's not your fault, they deliberately made trouble, and they couldn't easily avoid it."

The fact that invitations are only sent to the Chu Mansion but not to the Wang Mansion is enough to explain everything.

They only dared to bully Fu Yin's son-in-law, but they didn't dare to bully King Yu's pillow.

"My lord, you don't have to worry. Fortunately, no bones were injured. I prescribe some medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, which can be taken internally and externally. Within two days, Mr. Chu will recover. It's just that it will take at least half a month for this hand to completely reduce the swelling."

"You prescribe medicine, use the best medicinal materials, and don't begrudge money."

"Yes, I want to give Chu Shao a bloodletting needle now, and please ask the prince to wait outside the door first."

Huai Zhen took a fixed look at Chu Qingxu, turned around and left the bedroom, leaving only a few capable maids inside to assist Murong in his treatment.

As soon as he stepped out of the bedroom, the servant outside the door trotted over to report: "My lord, Governor Sun brought Sun Jie to see the lord, and Sun Jie broke his hand from the rockery, and now he is pleading guilty outside the door."

Huai Zhen said angrily: "Sun Zhongli, he ran fast when Sun Jieping was in trouble, why didn't he come out to stop Sun Jie when Sun Jie was in trouble?!"

"Does the prince want to meet?" The young servant heard that the prince was very angry, and he was very careful in his words, "Sun Jie said, about... the martial arts competition, he...he just wants to make Mr. Chu healthy."

"He's talking nonsense!" Chu Mingzi complained to Huaizhen indignantly, "They forced Xiao Shao to fight, that Hu Hun was a bandit, and every move would see blood, and the group of sour scholars around Sun Jie still I humiliate you, I...I have no face to repeat those words! Today's Gathering is simply a grand feast for Chu Shao alone! Your Highness, you must not be lighthearted!"

Huai Zhen knew it already, "Since Sun Jie likes to keep fit so much, Tu Wei."

Tu Wei immediately stepped forward and cupped his hands: "Yes."

"Take Sun Jie to the barracks, pick the time when the sun is the most poisonous, and take him to the school grounds for two hours of practice. If he faints from the sun, pour cold water to wake him up. If he dares to be negligent, he doesn't need to report it. Deal with the military stick! Since he is so warm-hearted, this king will let him strengthen his body."

"When Chu Shao's hand is swollen, Sun Jie will finish 'strengthening his body'."

Tu Wei: "Yes!"

The daily drills in the barracks were not something a pampered son like Sun Du could bear, it was more torture than being hit by a board!

Huai Zhen: "As for the bandit Hu Hun..."

Chu Mingzi specially reminded King Yu: "Hu Hun killed ten officers and soldiers in the past, and one of them was the only son in charge of the minister's daughter's family. Later, this man was recruited by the court and taken in by the Sun's family. You did a lot, and now you still hurt Xiao Shao, please punish me severely!"

Tu Wei also said: "I have seen that Hu Hun, he has already been kicked into a useless person by Mr. Chu, and he will not be able to do anything wrong with his skills in the future."

"The bandits are top-notch, it's not a pity." Huaizhen judged this person's ending lightly, "Find someone to detain Hu Hun, go to the homes of the ten officers and soldiers who died, kneel down as a crime, then put him in prison, and ask to be executed after autumn. Presumably this person took a lot of money by following Sun Jie, counted his property, and gave all of it to the families of the ten officers and soldiers, Tu Wei, you will personally supervise this matter."

"The last general takes orders!"

After dismissing Sun Jie and his son, Huai Zhen saw that Chu Mingzi still had tears on her face, and said comfortingly, "You have done everything you can do today, so don't blame yourself too much."

Chu Mingzi was still sad, so Huaizhen asked her to go back to Chu's mansion first to comfort the two elders of the Chu family.

The news about Yaji must have spread throughout Suizhou City, and Chu Hong and his wife probably knew about it.

Chu Shao's current situation is indeed not good, and it will only increase their worries if they see him.

Huaizhen asked Chu Mingzi to go home to comfort her first, and then let them visit the mansion when the situation improved in two days.

About two hours later, Murong pushed the door open with sweat all over his face, "Your Highness can come in."

Huai Zhen strode into the bedroom and saw that although Chu Shao was still in a coma, his complexion had turned better, and there was some blood on his lips, and the two arms exposed outside his sleeves were not as horribly swollen as before. It has a strong medicinal smell.

Murong said: "After the massage, most of the congestion has disappeared. After that, he can just take the medicine every day. After he can get out of bed, he can move his hand bones more appropriately, which is good for recovery."

"Then for half a month, he has to have someone by his side to take care of him all the time." Huai Zhen looked at Wen Yan.

Wen Yan immediately understood the prince's meaning, stepped forward and said: "Tingxue in the mansion is worthy of reuse."

Tingxue was sold into the palace by her mother to be a maid at the age of six. She was loyal to the palace, prudent and meticulous, and was appreciated by Wen Yan early in the morning. She planned to take her to serve the princess when the prince married the princess.

Now it seems that it is the same for Chu Shao.

Huaizhen nodded his head, which was his permission, so Wen Yan sent someone to inform Tingxue.

At this time Murong suddenly said: "The maids in the mansion can only take care of Chu Shao's food and daily life, but if he encounters today's predicament again, Chu Shao doesn't even have a martial artist around him, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

This reminded Huaizhen that if Chu Shao had a martial artist around him to fight instead of him, he wouldn't have to suffer this kind of hardship himself.

Murong saw that there was something going on, and immediately said: "Your Highness, don't be too entangled. Didn't Young Master Chu bring along a loyal servant with great martial arts?"

"You mean Si Yun?"

He is indeed loyal, but he is not easy to control. After all, he is from the old country of Nanqi. If he says something that should not be said in front of Chu Shao, it will be troublesome.

Huaizhen thought for a long time, but it seemed that there was no more suitable candidate, so he called Si Yun to the front hall of the palace while Chu Shao was still awake.

After Si Yun was taken to Suizhou, he was kept in a well-equipped cell. There were mice in the cells of other prisoners, but not in his side. The other prisoners ate bran and swallowed vegetables, and pig feet and chicken legs often appeared in his meals. Wait, in short, apart from not being free and not being able to see Chu Shao, life is much better than those three years in Nangong.

After being summoned to meet Huai Zhen, Si Yun's eyes lit up when he understood King Yu's intentions.

I hated myself for not being able to speak, so I could only nod my head.

Huaizhen said: "You can't mention Nanqi's people and things in front of Chu Shao, and you are not allowed to encourage him to do outrageous things with the mentality of restoring the country. He has forgotten the past, and I hope you can do the same." forget."

Si Yun took a pen and wrote on the paper: "I am only loyal to the young master, the prince is good to the young master, and I am also loyal to the prince."

Huai Zhen understood clearly, it turned out that this little mute's standpoint was never about family and country, but just a Chu Shao.

-

Sun Zhongli was sent out of the palace without even seeing King Yu's face.

After returning home, he was so angry that he took out the cane and slapped Sun Jie twice: "Why did I give birth to such a stupid son as you!?"

Sun Jie knelt on the ground, his left hand was broken, and he was hit twice on the shoulder. The pain caused him to grin his teeth and feel extremely wronged: "I said that I would send invitations to the Chu family, and you agreed! Now you are calling me stupid? "

"I asked you to invite Chu Shao because I hope you will have a good relationship with him. Even if you want to give him a bad blow, have I told you to accept it as soon as you see it? Don't be tough with him!?"

Sun Zhongli only had one son, Sun Jie, so he naturally doted on him in every possible way. He knew exactly what this child was thinking about King Yu, and now Chu Qingxu appeared out of thin air. He also knew that his son was angry, so he acquiesced to let him vent his anger through Yaji.

When King Yu was not in Suizhou City, the Governor's Mansion was the monkey that "the tiger is not at home and the monkey dominates".

If Chu Shao is also a soft persimmon today, then when Zhao Wuzhuan made provocative words, Chu Shao should silently tolerate and not cause trouble, and when Hu Hun came forward to challenge, Chu Shao should also retreat and admit defeat.

Those persimmons were like this in the past, Sun Jie thought that Chu Shao was also this kind of person, but he didn't expect that Chu Shao would not retreat an inch, and did not give him a chance to bully him, so Sun Jie lost his sense of proportion and caused today's catastrophe!

"Come here!" Sun Zhongli summoned the person in charge, and said: "The group of unclean warriors who raised the young master in the mansion and the poor scholars who have not been able to pass the exam for several years, I will drive them all out of the mansion! From now on, they are not allowed to associate with the young master again!"

"Father?!" Sun Jie still refused.

Sun Zhongli scolded, "It's just a group of useless people who have done more than succeed in their affairs. One day you will be instigated by them to kill the entire Sun family, and you will know what is wrong? That Zhao Wuzhuan even lost his imperial examination qualifications by the prince." Now, the fact that Hu Hun killed ten officers and soldiers in the past has been revealed, and he will be executed soon! Don’t you know how serious this matter is?!”

"..." Sun Jie cried out in fright, "Then do I really have to go to the barracks to dry off a layer of skin?"

Sun Zhongli: "Stupid son, please be content. If you weren't the son of an important minister, do you think King Yu would spare your life today?!"

"Then Chu Shao is so precious? I just let people..."

Sun Zhongli kicked his stupid son lightly, and kicked back what he hadn't said: "How dare you say it?! You don't want your head, do you?"

The servant came to report that General Tu Weitu had come to "invite" Young Master Sun to the barracks to "enhance his health".

Sun Jie had a look of collapsed expression on his face, Sun Zhongli had no choice but to watch his son being dragged to the military camp to "strengthen his body".

The author says:

"Strengthen the body" = military training.
