I'm a bully in troubled times

"Isn't it?" Gongsun Ke said, "These two old fellows ask the Marquis of Jin every day in the Golden Palace for explanations, but the Marquis of Jin has no choice but hides in the harem and says he can't get out of illness."

"The Marquis of Jin has no real power at all. Jin is full of civil and military affairs, and he has few people. When Zhao Di and Shi Xiang started a fight, he couldn't control it even if he wanted to, so he had to hide," Jiang Yu touched his fingers. Touching his chin, "But this thing looks a bit strange. It doesn't seem to happen naturally. It should be manipulated by someone behind the scenes. Can you find out?"

"Return to my lord," Gongsun Ke said, "This subordinate also suspects that someone manipulated it. Those two unlucky bastards both died strangely, so they have already sent people to investigate. But there is no result yet, and my lord still needs to wait for a few days."

Jiang Yu nodded: "Give me a result as soon as possible, I think this matter is not easy."

"Yes, my lord." Gongsun Ke took the order and went down.

Qi Ranming practiced swords far away in the yard, mixed with the servants of Suiyang Junfu, and taught them kung fu - he got acquainted here recently, everyone in Suiyang Junfu knew him.Although Qi Ranming doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't pretend to talk, he is not a bad person and has a warm heart, so most people in the house like him.

Even the women sent by the queen are very close to Qi Ranming.Jiang Yu knew what their plan was, it was nothing more than seeing that Jiang Yu was getting closer to Qi Ranming now, and he couldn't get effective information from Jiang Yu, so he wanted to use Qi Ranming as a breakthrough.

Here Jiang Yu and Gongsun Ke finished their official business, and Jiang Yu waved to Qi Ranming.

Qi Ranming put away his sword and came over, leaned against the pillar with his sword in his arms and asked him, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "When sending the monarch out of the city this morning, the Queen asked about Su Xi and said that she would assign an imperial doctor to treat her. I have to go to Su Xi to accompany her. You go with me."

"Why do you want me to go?" Qi Ranming said.

Jiang Yu: "There are so many good-looking girls in the mansion, I'm afraid your heart will be taken away by them."

Qi Ranming: "..."

Anyway, Qi Ranming went to Su's house with Jiang Yu, and of course, Gongsun Ke also followed.

On the way, Jiang Yu asked Gongsun Ke: "The imperial physician is going to make a diagnosis and treatment. Su Xi's body will not be exposed, right? Don't let me lose the chain at a critical moment."

"It's all been arranged," Gongsun Ke said, "This subordinate gave Miss Su a medicine. After taking it, the pulse and symptoms are like contracting a cold, but in fact it will be cured after lying down for two days."

"Medicine?" Hearing this, Jiang Yu frowned slightly, and glanced at Qi Ranming, "What kind of medicine? Is it harmful to the body?"

Qi Ranming's childhood experience made Jiang Yu feel a little displeased when he heard about this strange medicine.

"Harmless," Gongsun Ke said, "It's good to rest for two days, and there will be no sequelae."

Jiang Yu: "That's good."

When the three of them arrived at Su's house, the imperial physician hadn't arrived yet. Su Xi was lying on the bed sickly, and Su's mother took care of her.Jiang Yu and Su Xi didn't tell Su's mother all the transactions, but because Su Xi pretended to be sick and couldn't hide it from Su's mother, she revealed some information that could be disclosed to her.

As soon as she entered, Su's mother saluted Jiang Yu: "Greetings to Lord Suiyang."

"Excuse me." Jiang Yu said, "Where's Su Xi?"

Su Mu said, "It's in the house."

Jiang Yu: "The imperial physician will come to diagnose and treat Su Xi in a while, Mrs. Su, please be more cautious and don't reveal anything."

"I understand, please don't worry Suiyang Jun." She is an old woman, but actually she doesn't understand many things, but Jiang Yu is kind to her family, and it is only natural to obey Jiang Yu's order to repay her kindness.

Jiang Yu went into the room again and asked Su Xi.When the imperial doctor came, everyone in the room became a school of acting, some pretended to be sick, and some pretended to be worried.Jiang Yu finally understood that after living in this intriguing world for a long time, everyone can win an Oscar statuette.

Su Xi's illness is just a common cold, but because she is weak and seriously ill, she hasn't recovered for a long time.After the imperial doctor looked at it, he couldn't see any flowers, so he gave Jiang Yu a regular prescription for treating wind and cold.

Jiang Yu took it over and looked at it, and there was no major problem, so he ordered someone to buy it.But the imperial physician saw Qi Ranming standing next to Jiang Yu, his gaze froze for a moment, and he frowned thoughtfully at Qi Ranming.

During these days in the Suiyang Monarch's Mansion, Qi Ranming ate and drank offerings every day. He had a little more flesh and his complexion looked better than before, but in the eyes of the imperial physician, his body was still not good.Mingming is young, but his body is ruined like this. Qi Ranming is handsome and has a bad complexion, which arouses the benevolence of the imperial physician.

Qi Ranming was puzzled.

Jiang Yu asked on his behalf: "What did your lord see?"

The imperial physician stretched out his hand towards Qi Ranming.

Qi Ranming hesitated for a moment, looked at Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu nodded, and then Qi Ranming put his hand in the imperial physician's palm.The imperial doctor gave Qi Ranming a hand, and then looked at Qi Ranming's eye whites and tongue coating. Wang Wenwen cut it off, sighed and shook his head, and sighed: "Master's body is deficient and needs to be replenished. If things go on like this, you Your body is in danger."

The corner of Qi Ranming's mouth twitched, because no one would like others to tell him "You have a few days to live", this is almost what the doctor said.

The imperial physician retired and returned to the palace with the medicine box.However, Jiang Yu paid attention to what the imperial physician said. Although it was still the fifth day of the lunar new year, the New Year's Day usually falls on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Jiang Yu called Dr. Wei so many days earlier, it was unavoidably inhumane.

However, Jiang Yu's remuneration to Dr. Wei was several times higher than before, so Dr. Wei reluctantly agreed.

Jiang Yu called Dr. Wei over because of the poison in Qi Ranming's body.Dr. Wei had talked to Jiang Yu years ago, but Qi Ranming didn't agree immediately at that time.This time Qi Ranming agreed.

Detoxification for Qi Ranming is a very complicated and lengthy process. Needle injections and medicines must be taken day after day, step by step. This requires a lot of patience and a long time.

However, to Jiang Yu's relief, Qi Ranming was very cooperative.

For this reason, Jiang Yu drew a big cake for Qi Ranming: "When you recover from illness, I will take you to Guzhu on the border of Yan Kingdom to see the sea."

Qi Ranming thought it was funny, but he didn't refuse.He was looking forward to it. What does the sea look like?

However, the world is changing and waiting for no one for a moment.Soon, news came from the state of Jin, saying that the prince of Zhou, Ji Zhong, had rushed to the state of Jin to uphold justice for Zhao Di and Shi Xiang, and come to judge this matter.

Zhao Di and Shi Xiang unexpectedly showed face to the Zhou royal family. Under Ji Zhong's persuasion, they temporarily gave up their personal grievances and shook hands to make peace, which shocked everyone who thought they would fight. .

Although this matter seemed to be over, the dark storm under there had just begun.Because after some time of confirmation, Gongsun Ke replied to Jiang Yu that the person who stirred up the situation in Quwo seemed to be from Qin.

Qin?Ever since Qi Ranming clearly told Jiang Yu that he came out of King Qin's Palace and lived in Qin State since he was a child, Jiang Yu has been extremely sensitive to the word Qin.

"People from the Qin Kingdom, do you know who they are?" Jiang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

"Return to your lord," Gongsun Ke said in a deep voice, "The leader is Qin Second Young Master Xi."

"Second Young Master Xi..." Jiang Yu murmured, "Second Young Master Xi is weak and sick, so he can't go out? How could it be him who is in the Jin Kingdom? Could it be that you made a mistake?"

"You can't make a mistake," Gongsun Ke said, "my subordinates have confirmed that the person in Jin is indeed Ying Xi. He is indeed weak, but he is not so shameful. The country has obtained results in seeking immortality and medicine for him."

Jiang Yu raised his hand and waved: "Okay, you go down first."

Ying Xi, who once made Qi Ranming suffer so much, is now in Jin State, Jiang Yu's fingers are curled up, and his mind is spinning rapidly.Last winter, Qin State fought a battle with Jin State. Qin State was defeated, and Lord Guangling was seriously injured. Since then, there has been no news from Qin State.It stands to reason that this is not in line with Qin Hou's personality. How can he not fight back after suffering a loss?

But it makes sense for Yingxi to appear in Quwo.Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the state of Jin is still strong, it is actually an empty shell, nothing more than a strong outside.The majestic monarch was reduced to a puppet, without any real power in his hands, and was played and applauded by two ministers.

Once the two ministers completely tear their skins apart, this superficial calm will be broken, and the state of Jin will be divided.At this time, no one can take charge of the overall situation, and Jin, without a reassurance, has become a living target.

At that time, if Qin State wants to use troops against Jin State, it will be much cheaper.

This was also what Jiang Yu wanted to do, and now Ying Xi took the lead.Jiang Yu had to do something.

Jiang Yu quickly called Qi Ranming over, and told him what happened in Jin State and the news he got.

However, Qi Ranming was not surprised at all, as if all of this was within his expectations, including the fact that Ying Xi was in Quwo.

"Do you know what Ying Xi is doing?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I don't know," Qi Ranming said, "It's just a guess, he will go to Quwo."

Jiang Yu pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do you think of this matter?"

Qi Ranming seemed to know exactly what Jiang Yu was thinking, and said, "Jin State is your common enemy with Qin State, and Ying Xi's doing so will do no harm to you."

"If you are worried about Ying Xi's failure," Qi Ranming said, "I can help you."

"Help me?" Jiang Yu was slightly taken aback, "How are you going to help?"

Qi Ranming said: "Naturally, I will go to Quwo to help you deal with this matter. I can do what Yingxi can do. In fact, if you want to split the state of Jin, it's not about Zhao Di and Shi Xiang, but about Jin. Hou."

"As long as Zhao Di and Shi Xiang think that this monarch is useless and has become a stumbling block for them, and the other party poses a threat, then their short-term peace will naturally end."

Qi Ranming's eloquent talk about these contents is obviously not casual, but more like a conclusion drawn after long-term observation, thinking and preparation.It's as if he has been waiting, how to split Jin from within.

"You seem to have been mentally prepared for a long time?" Jiang Yu asked.

Qi Ranming smiled, avoided the question and didn't answer, just said: "If you believe me, I will go."

"I believe it." Jiang Yu said, "But you are still recovering from illness, and recovery is the most important thing."

"..." Jiang Yu's thoughts exceeded Qi Ranming's expectations. He was silent for a while before replying, "Don't you want Jin, a powerful enemy, to be destroyed without attack? A few years ago, Jin was very arrogant. I I remember that you were humiliated in the state of Jin as well."

"Of course I want to, but I didn't pick you into the mansion in a snowy day for you to do these things." Jiang Yu said.How could he save the person who was rescued by desperate efforts and Ning Jian's life, and then throw him into such a dangerous situation by himself?

Qi Ranming was slightly stunned, inexplicably recalling the light kiss on the temples on New Year's Eve, and suddenly felt that the temples were burning hot, and his throat tightened.The voice lowered unconsciously: "So what? Do you think I can't do it, or do you think I will follow Ying Xi?"

Jiang Yu: "Neither, but I want to meet Ying Xi."

Qi Ranming didn't realize it for a while, and he didn't understand until he woke up, and said in surprise: "You want to go in person?"

Jiang Yu nodded lightly: "You probably don't know that when I was in Quwo last year, the Marquis of Jin asked me for help in private, saying that if I helped him kill Zhao Di, he would grant me three cities in the Kingdom of Yan. The monarch also knew about this .”

"Seeing that it's the Marquis Jin's birthday again, I can use this excuse to go to Quwo, meet Zhao Shi and Yingxi." Jiang Yu smiled slightly, "For this person , I'm very curious."
