After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

"Khan! It's bad, it's bad!" The guards rushed into the hall and reported to Dai Qin who was seated, "Emperor Qin was assassinated and his life is in danger!"

Dai Qin stood up abruptly from his seat, "Where was he assassinated?!"

"Within the territory of the Kunlan tribe!"

The Kunlan tribe is also the territory under the jurisdiction of Jiangdong. If something happened to Huaizhen in Jiangdong, if Zhongqin pursued it, the entire Beiyou would be held accountable!

Dai Qin dropped the pen in his hand, grabbed an outer shirt and put it on, and rushed to the inner hall, saying: "Go and invite the best imperial doctor from Beiyou, no, invite all the imperial doctors! The wizard came over to give him a blessing, damn it, if Huai Jiugu died in my territory, it would be too much trouble!"

The guard hurriedly went to do it, Dai Qin rushed to the inner hall where Huai Zhen lived, and when he arrived at the door, he saw pots of blood coming out from the attendant. The blood was not bright red, but black, and overflowed fishy smell.

Daiqin knew that it was caused by severe poison without understanding the principles of medicine. Sure enough, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Emperor Qin lying half dead on the side of the bed, vomiting thick black blood from his mouth.

Chu Shao hugged his upper body, the clothes on his body were already stained with blood, he didn't check at all, but hurriedly urged: "Murong! You should think of a way!"

Dai Qin heard that his voice trembled.

Murong was sweating profusely. He crushed the needle hemp grass and applied it on the wound on Huaizhen's left shoulder that had begun to rot under the poisonous corrosion. Now Huaizhen couldn't drink Mabosan, so he could only use externally applied anesthetics. This herb was just right Has an anesthetic effect.

"Sir, help him up, I'll pull out the arrow first!"

"Okay, okay." Chu Shao put one hand around Huaizhen's waist, and the other on his back, and pressed Huaizhen with all his strength, and he could smell the poison on the arrow when he got close The pungent smell, he forced himself to calm down, sobbing in Huaizhen's ear: "You bear it, bear it."

Huai Zhen was half-dizzy on his shoulder, as if he was settled by these words.

Murong found the right time and wrapped one end of the arrow feather with a handkerchief before he dared to hold the arrow body. He gave Chu Shao a look, and Chu Shao immediately hugged Huai Zhen's body forcefully. He closed his eyes and tilted his head. If you dare to look more, you can only feel Huaizhen's body stiffen, followed by the sound of blood spurting out of his body.

Huai Zhen's body twitched twice, he suddenly opened his eyes, and at the moment when his eyes were clear, he glanced greedily at Chu Shao, and murmured: "It hurts so much, luckily it didn't hurt you..."

"Choo Goo..."

Unable to hear the call clearly, Huai Jiugu raised his neck in pain, a line of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and there was no more movement, Chu Shao pressed tightly against his chest, but could hardly feel his breathing.

Seeing that Chu Shao was about to lose control, Murong hurriedly snatched Huai Zhen into his arms, grabbed a bowl of freshly boiled Huadu Powder, and forcefully poured it in with his upper jaw opened.

Chu Shao sat by the bed, his face was pale, he had never seen such a strong poison, from the moment he was hit by an arrow, it took only a cup of tea, Huai Zhen's eyes were black and blue, his lips were purple, his eyes, nose and ears were all bruised Black blood spilled.

"Can... can it be saved?" He heard his voice trembling, and the worst outcome had flashed through his mind.

Murong finished pouring the Huadu powder, and said anxiously, "If you give me two days, I will definitely be able to develop an antidote! But this is an acute poison, if there is no pre-prepared antidote, I will spend my whole life in medicine, and I will only be able to find an antidote!" It can keep you alive for six hours!"

"...the antidote, I'll find it, I'll find the antidote!"

Chu Shao rushed out of the hall in a panic, Dai Qin at the door saw the terrifying blood on his body, and stretched out his hand to grab Chu Shao.

"Enhe, have you been..."

"Step aside!!"

Chu Shao didn't even look at it, pushed his hand away, and hurried to the territory where the Qin army was stationed.

After the crossbow arrows were shot, the assassin could have escaped, but for some reason, he waited in place. The leader even wanted to chase down the small slope. The cavalry mistakenly thought that the opponent was going to make up the knife, and flew forward to capture him alive, because the mastermind behind the scenes had not yet been found out. , people were imprisoned in the garrison of the Qin army cavalry.

The iron cavalry barracks are some distance away from Jiangdong's palace.

If he ran there on foot, it would take a lot of time on the road, how could Huaizhen afford it? !

When Chu Shao was in a hurry, the sound of hooves came from far to near, and the little black horse that Huai Zhen sent him ran towards him as if he had sensed it.

Seeing the savior, Chu Shao rolled over on the pony's back, patted his neck, and the little black horse immediately started to sprint, at a speed no less than that of a bloody horse.

The soldiers guarding the Qin army camp saw someone galloping on a small black horse from a distance, and they were on guard at first, but when they saw clearly that the person on horseback was Young Master Chu, they immediately put down their weapons and saluted respectfully.

Chu Shao jumped off his horse and quickly stepped into the barracks. The wind blew against his blood-stained dress, "Where's the leader of the assassin? Take me to see him!"

"Your Majesty, this way!" The commander of the army led the way while explaining the situation, "There are five assassins in total, including two crossbowmen and two warriors with knives. The leader is a man with a silver mask. want to see you."

"He wants to see me?"

Chu Shao felt suspicious, he walked around seven or eight tents, and finally saw the masked man in a simple tent.

The other party was chained to his feet, but he had not yet been tortured. The Qin army had strict discipline and would not easily torture prisoners of war. Even if they knew that this group of people had assassinated their emperor, they would not vent their personal anger without the order of their superiors.

Chu Shao came with a murderous look, but the moment he saw the figure of that person, a feeling of intimacy suddenly surged in his heart that was so warm that he couldn't ignore it.

Hearing the movement, the man immediately turned around, his eyes fell on Chu Shao, he seemed to smile, and then said softly: "Just hearing the footsteps, I knew it was you."

Chu Qingxu paused. This voice had sung him a lullaby before.

He thought he was hallucinating, "You... who are you...?"

"Guess, guess right, I'll give you sweet-scented osmanthus candy."

In a trance, Chu Shao remembered that when he was six years old, his brother put his hands behind his back and teased him with a smile:

"Xiao Shao, guess what my brother brought you? You guessed right, my brother will give you sweet-scented osmanthus candies."

Chu Shao guessed it, tears welled up in his eyes, he stretched out his hand hesitantly, and when he touched the mask, he wanted to shrink back in fear, how beautiful the fantasy was, but how cruel it would be if he took off the mask and found it wasn't him.

The retracted wrist was gently clasped by the other party, and then he was guided to uncover the mask that he had forgotten to wear for many years.

That face that looks like Chu Shaoqiao's but has an extra scar is clearly exposed in front of Chu Qingxu.

He still smiled as gently as Chu Shao remembered: "The sweet-scented osmanthus candy from Zaolin shop on Dongjie Street is my brother's favorite."

Chu Shao paused in a daze, then suddenly threw herself into his arms, weeping with joy, "Brother!"

Chu Yun embraced Chu Qingxu, patted him on the back, his words choked with sobs: "Silly Shaoer, it's still the same as before, when you are in a hurry, you will be in a hurry."

The commander outside the door was in a daze. The queen seemed to be about to kill someone just now, why is she embracing the assassin now?Is this appropriate?

Chu Qingxu lay on Chu Yun's shoulder and cried for a long time, as if he had vented all the grievances he had held back in the past year in his brother's arms. If it wasn't for the smell of blood on his body that hadn't subsided, he would have almost forgotten However, Huai Jiugu was still waiting for the antidote to save his life.

He got down from his brother, raised his bloody sleeve to wipe away his tears, but Chu Yun stopped him, and wiped his brother's tears with his clean sleeve, lest he become a tabby cat.

"Brother, what's the matter with the scar on your face?" Chu Shao reached out and touched a scar next to the mole on Chu Yun's left tear, the end of the scar was even scratched into the hair.

Chu Yun said lightly: "When I was on a mission to the north, I was chased and killed by the secret guards sent by Wei Yong, and almost died. This scar was left at that time, and it is no longer a problem." It's just that he almost died of this wound back then. That's all, he didn't tell Chu Shao the details.

Chu Shao guessed that this could be a fatal wound, he clenched his fists, "Wei Yong, that bastard...I have already killed him and Su Shi with my own hands, and their bodies were eaten by vultures Clean, the bones were eaten by dogs."

After hearing this, Chu Yun felt satisfied, and only felt sorry for Chu Shao: "Silly brother, killing him will only dirty your hands."

"I only wish I hadn't done it earlier, otherwise my parents wouldn't have died young, you wouldn't have suffered these injuries, and Nanqi wouldn't have died..."

When it comes to the pain of subjugation, both of them are very heavy. Chu Shao was afraid that his brother would be sad, and said, "Now Nanqi is renamed Qizhou, and under the jurisdiction of Zhongqin, I think the lives of the people are better than when Wei was in power. A hundred times better."

He never said these words in front of Huaizhen, because he didn't want to see his complacent face when he was praised, but in his heart, he had long recognized his benevolent government.

After hearing this, Chu Yun said clearly: "Huaizhen treats Qizhou well, and it's because of you, right? His imperial edict to make you queen has spread to Jiangbei."

Chu Shao: "...he is messing around, brother, don't take it seriously."

"The first decree of the new emperor's ascension to the throne is announced to the world, and the world knows it. How can it be nonsense?"

Chu Shao: "...." He really didn't know how to explain the twists and turns to his brother.

Seeing that Chu Shao was covered in dried blood, Chu Yun felt extremely guilty, and said fearfully, "By the time I see clearly that it was you who stopped me, it was already a step too late. If I had known that Yan Zhanenhe was you, I would never have let him speak out." That crossbow arrow, fortunately you are fine, if it hurts you today, I really don't know what to do."

Jiangbei's informant will not be as careful as Zhongqin's. He will check the person and draw a portrait for you. Jiangbei's eyeliner only found out that Yan Zhanen is a blue-faced scourge capable of cholera border, but they don't know about Chu Qingxu and Yan Zhan. Enhe was the same person, and this link was broken, which caused Chu Yun not to find out what was wrong in time.

It wasn't until the moment Chu Qingxu looked back on the hillside that Chu Yun realized that the person he was going to kill was actually his own younger brother.

"Brother, I'm fine. The crossbow arrow didn't hurt me. Huaizhen... Huaizhen blocked it for me." Chu Shao remembered that Huaizhen's life was still hanging by a thread, and looked forward to looking at his brother, the savior, "He's dead now. Dying, brother, you must have the antidote, right!?"

Chu Yun said: "The medicine is highly poisonous formulated by the Jiangbei witch doctor. It is extremely poisonous and can torture people to death within two hours. For fear of accidentally injuring innocent people, the antidote was formulated early in the morning, and the antidote was cured. The medicine is in my hand now."

Chu Shao seemed to be rescued, looked at his brother longingly, stretched out two hands, spread out his palms, like begging for candy from his brother when he was a child.

Chu Yun witnessed the whole process of Huaizhen blocking the arrow on the hillside with his own eyes. He was still worried that he would accidentally hurt Chu Shao, so that he didn't even care about getting away. He wanted to run down the hillside to make sure that Chu Shao was safe. Prescribed the antidote to save him from unnecessary disasters, but unexpectedly he was captured alive by the Qin army.

"It stands to reason that Huaizhen gave up his life for you, and I should save his life, but I'm by Shuhu's side, and I've heard a lot of ridiculous things about him, including the things he did to you .”

Now that Chu Yun knows that Yan Zhanenhe is his own younger brother, he can naturally guess that it was Huaizhen who killed his younger brother who fell into the water and narrowly escaped death by the Qin River. When Nanqi was subjugated, he coaxed Chu Shao to kneel in front of the officials. Even in public, it was Huai Jiugu who did frivolous things to Chu Shao at once.

"Listen one by one, I really don't want to save the Lord of Zhongqin." Chu Yun persuaded, "If he is dead, I will let go of my hatred, and Shao'er will not be threatened and suppressed by him. In this way Is it not good?"

At first glance, it sounded very reasonable, and Chu Shao was almost convinced.

If he didn't care about the safety of the people of Zhongqin and the border in the Northern Journey, Chu Shao could completely abandon Huaizhen freely and freely.

Only when he abandons irrelevant people and things, does not love the world, but only loves himself, can he see through his own heart.

"If he dies by my hands, I owe him nothing. If he dies for me, I owe him everything in my life."

Chu Qingxu grabbed Chu Yun's sleeve and begged for Huaizhen after all: "Brother, please spare him this time, please."

Huaizhen: Say goodbye to brother and brother, who knows if I'm going to die soon!
