　　--《The Southern Dynasty Chu History·The Biography of Prince Jue of Germany》

　　Zhao Jue said calmly: "The grandson of the golden bow, the crescent green shirt, the silver bow Duanmu, the red makeup Rakshasa, seeing the silver bow here, I know that the fire Raksha Qiao Yan'er must be here too, I never thought you all sneaked in. I am Nanchu."

　　 Duanmuqiu stroked the bowstring lightly and said: "Who does not know that it will be a matter of time for Dayong to dominate the world, that is, not all the martial arts heroes of Southern Chu have basically taken refuge in my Dayong."

　　 Zhao Jue said angrily: "Shut up." This is what he hates most in his heart. Dayong advocates military service and doesn’t care about his origin. Therefore, many Nanchu figures have voted for Dayong. To be a high-ranking official must be innocent, so the military force in the Southern Chu army is not as good as that of Dayong.

　　 Qiao Yaner's eyebrows were raised upside down, and said: "So courageous, dare to scold me and wait, Brother Duanmu, sweep the formation for me." He drew the long sword on his back and threw it like a ball of flame. Zhao Jue’s guards drew their swords to meet them. These guards are masters who are good at fighting in battle, but Qiao Yan'er is a first-rate master, so although he is one-on-six without fear, and Qiao Yan'er's offensive is in full swing, Not inferior to the mighty and stubbornness of these guards, Duan Muqiu's eyes were fixed on the battlefield. For a moment, suddenly he pulled a bow and shot an arrow, and a silver shadow penetrated a guard's throat like a ghost.

　　 Zhao Jue frowned. These two people, one is good at close combat and the other is good at long distance. They cooperate with each other. They only brought eight guards. I am afraid they will be killed one by one. I looked at the people behind him. The guard, whispered: "Let's deal with Duanmuqiu."

　　 The guard nodded, and the two ran to Duanmuqiu at the same time. Duanmuqiu saw from a distance, the silver bow was wound up, one bow and two arrows, and two guards were shot. At this time, Zhao Jue had already arrived in front of him, and the long sword pierced him. Duanmuqiu launched his light skills to avoid Zhao Jue’s offensive. His light skills were very mysterious. Zhao Jue and the guard could never hurt him, but Duanmu Qiu also had no time to shoot arrows, so he could only use a silver bow to resist. His silver bow was specially made, and Zhao Jue’s sword couldn’t hurt it. Everyone fought in two places. Duanmuqiu’s martial arts were actually not as good as Zhao Jue. He was trapped by Zhao Jue to get off, but Zhao Jue couldn't even kill him. But Qiao Yan'er's side has a big advantage. If she waits for her to kill all the guards and come to support Duanmuqiu, then Zhao Jue will no longer have the possibility of escape. When Zhao Jue's heart is distraught, the corner of his eye is left. Guang saw two figures, but it was Thief Li and Bai Yi, one holding a short sword and the other holding a small crossbow. They were quietly approaching Qiao Yan'er. Just when Zhao Jue noticed the two, Suddenly the crossbow in Pirate Li's hand shot out five cold glows. Qiao Yan'er reacted sensitively and tried to get out of the way. At this moment, Bai Yi's short sword thunderously stabbed at Qiao Yan'er's delicate body, Qiao Yan'er's eyes flashed Passing the flames, the long sword in her hand turned into a copper wall and iron wall like a god’s help, fighting hand-to-hand, Bai Yi staggered back, her hands were blood stained, and Qiao Yan'er had a sword in her abdomen, she saw her jade face with evil spirits, and hurriedly tapped acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. He shouted: "Brother." Then he shot the long sword at Zhao Jue, Zhao Jue dodges, and Duan Muqiu rushed out, with the silver bow in his hand firing five arrows in succession, blocking the guard who intended to kill Qiao Yan'er. He turned around and forced Zhao Jue away with an arrow, and then he had reached Qiao Yan'er, picked up the junior sister, and rushed away.

　　 Zhao Jue took a sigh of relief, looked at Pirate Li and Bai Yi, and smiled: "Thanks to you." At this moment, Zhao Jue suddenly saw the terrifying look on everyone's faces, Zhao Jue's mind was sensitive. , Rushed forward immediately, but it was too late, and only felt that a sharp blade pierced the soft armor and pierced deeply into the waist. This was because Zhao Jue dodged in time. Zhao Jue saw the guards rushing, but the fastest were Pirate Li and Bai Yi. Bai Yi passed by his side, and a scream came from behind him, while Pirate Li supported him and took it out of his arms. A wax pill, crushed the wax pill, and stuffed the pill inside into his mouth. Zhao Jue only felt severe pain before he heard it. He could not help but scream and fainted.

　　 When Zhao Jue woke up, he found himself lying on the table in the tea shed. Pirates, Bai Yi and other guards all looked at him sadly, and the guards who had teamed up with him to deal with Duanmuqiu were not far away. Place. He smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't think that there was Da Yong's spy beside this king. He has been with me for more than a year."

　　 Thief Li stepped forward and said: "The prince, the villain has temporarily stopped the bleeding for the prince and has taken the elixir. Within a month, as long as the prince is calm, he should be able to live without fear, but the prince is too seriously injured. I returned to Jianye and asked my son to see and treat himself, and I believe he can recover within six months."

　　Zhao Jue thought for a while and said: "They are doing the assassination halfway, presumably they don't want me to return to Xiangyang. If I can't go back, I'm afraid that Xiangyang is in danger, so I should go to Xiangyang."

　　 A guard said bitterly: "The prince is so seriously injured, how can he go to battle, or return to Jianye to recover."

　　 Zhao Jue said indifferently: "Needless to say, how could this king feel sorry for his body, and set off immediately to Xiangyang." Everyone had to obey orders, and Bai Yi and Bai Yi looked at each other with eyes full of helplessness and admiration. Everyone wanted to persuade each other, Zhao Jue would not listen. The thief had to re-wrap Zhao Jue's knife wounds tightly, lest Zhao Jue were tired, everyone did not dare to speed up the whip, but Zhao Jue was anxious to go to Yangyang and rushed forward regardless of the injury. Moreover, if you don't return to the barracks, you will inevitably encounter assassins, and you can only speed up. When Zhao Jue finally entered Xiangyang City, it was already the evening of the next day. Taking advantage of the night and the response sent by Rong Yuan, Zhao Jue entered Xiangyang City smoothly. Thieves discussed with Bai Yi. Thieves continued to stay to take care of Zhao Jue's injuries. He followed Jiang Zhe to learn mainly medical skills. Although not advanced enough, he was definitely better than Xiangyang's military doctors. Bai Yi returned to Jianye to return to Jiang Zhe.

　　 After I learned from Bai Yi that Zhao Jue was injured, I couldn’t help but sigh. As early as when Zhao Jue went out on the expedition, I felt uneasy. Now that Zhao Jue is injured and going out, will my premonition become a reality? Although Zhao Jue had some suspicions about me, he was still a good boss, so I hesitated for a long time and finally decided to go to Xiangyang once.

　　 For the sake of completeness, I took Chen Zhen and Chi Ji with seven of them. After the exchange in the city, we rushed to Xiangyang as soon as possible. Because my horse was not riding well, I got a carriage, although it was bumpy Some, but better than riding a horse. Along the way, I got the information from the secret camp. The king of Qi Li Xian attacked the city on a large scale, but Zhao Jue personally sat on the town, so the Yong army lost its troops and was unable to win. Although I could not get close to the battlefield, I still learned the general situation. , The Yong army has lost 40,000 soldiers in Xiangyang. I think it should have reached the limit of the Qi king.

　　 Sure enough, when I was more than two hundred miles away from Xiangyang, I learned the news of the Yong army’s retreat, and according to the secret camp’s return, the Yong army should have retreated from the territory of Nanchu, that is to say, I will meet head-on In order to drive them away, I ordered to stay in a small village and wait for the time being. As far as I know, the Yong army did not commit any crimes all the way through the autumn, so it should not be looting here. In the afternoon, the Yong Army passed by outside the village. Beforehand, the Yong Army's outpost came to the village and ordered all households not to go out. I have changed into blue shirts and commoners, and Chiji and the others have also changed into peasant costumes. They didn't attract much attention. In fact, they didn't plan to go to the village, so they only had to control the road outside the village. But while I was waiting, I suddenly heard the chaos outside, and then someone came to smash the door and said: "The people in the house come out, here our army has used it."

　　Chen Zhen quietly walked to me and asked me with his eyes. I thought about it and shook my head slightly. Chen Zhen pretended to be flustered and opened the door in front of the door, begging: "The army master is forgiving, the army master is forgiving."

　　 It was a sergeant in black iron armor who smashed the door. He looked at the room and said, "Don’t panic, let’s use the room. Go to the wing and stay here. Walk around, keep silent."

　　 I stood up and walked out with Chi Ji, the sergeant suddenly stopped me and said: "What is your name, is it a fame?"

　　 I calmly said: "Late born Jiang Suiyun, a Han scholar, no fame. What advice does the military master have."

　　 A suspicion flashed in the eyes of the sergeant, and then suddenly he woke up and shouted: "Come on, catch them, they are spies." Following his shout, a group of sergeants rushed in, using swords and guns. Surrounding us, Chen Zhen took a step back and stood in front of me. He knew that he could not be impulsive at this time without doing anything.

　　 I asked with a puzzled look: "Why does the army master say that the late birth is a spy?"

　　 An inexplicable cold light flashed in the eyes of the sergeant, and said: "I don't think you can see the coffin without tears. Judging from your manners, you are definitely a figure of perennial dignity, and a kind of superiority Temperament, if it is not a spy, why do you say that you have no fame?"

　　 I didn’t think this sergeant was so shrewd. He couldn’t help but look at him up and down for a long time, thinking about how to deal with the current situation. He rushed over on an iron horse, and immediately the man shouted, “Isn’t the house ready yet? Your Highness is in urgent need of healing." The sergeant said quickly: "General, I see this family is a little suspicious..."

　　 hadn’t finished speaking, the general saw me at a glance, was taken aback, and smiled: “Who am I? It turns out to be Lord Jiang Han Linjiang. I didn’t think we would meet here.” I learned from that general. He smiled bitterly, and had to say: "It turned out to be Huang Huwei who was next to His Royal Highness King Qi. I didn't expect to see each other like this today."

　　 The general Zhengrong said: "In the past, His Royal Highness went to Nanchu as an envoy, and the adults were ordered to accompany him. He was very courteous. Huang was also very grateful. Now the two countries are fighting each other and the adults are high officials in Nanchu, why did they appear in this small village ."

　　 I moved in my heart. He just said that his Highness needs to heal his wounds, and he said: "It is true that an old friend of the lower official is seriously ill, the medicine is not effective, and the lower official is quite fluent, so he went to treat him. "

　　 General Huang showed a surprised look on his face, and said: "It turns out that Lord Jiang is good at Qihuang. His Royal Highness Qi was injured by an arrow. The military doctor could not treat him. He had to rush back to Dayong. Now the illness worsened on the way, he asked Jiang Your lord, let's take a look for your Highness."

　　 I happily said: "Doctors have the heart to cut their stocks, and they dare not follow their orders." General Huang immediately ordered people to invite His Royal Highness King Qi to come here. Those sergeants showed weird looks. I heard him ask in a low voice. General Huang said: "He is a Southern Chu official, will he treat his Highness sincerely?" General Huang also whispered: "At the beginning, we were looking at this Jiang Da at Jianye. He was easy-going and easy-going, and would not stick to his identity. , His Royal Highness said that this person has a splendid mind and should not be underestimated, and he is very caring for him. I think he will not miss his old feelings, not to mention that he is in the hands of our army, and he dare not make any changes."

　　 Not long after, His Royal Highness King Qi’s car arrived. General Huang and the others carried King Qi into the room. I saw his face flushed red and unconscious. After going forward to check his pulse, he groaned: "Your Highness has been hit. My Southern Chu’s poisonous arrow is the venomous snake juice obtained from Nanban. If your Highness had a strong internal strength and a strong body, and he had taken some detoxification drugs in time, it would have been long gone. Now it is a symptom of increased toxicity. If it cannot be cured, three It will inevitably die within a day."

　　 Everyone was shocked, and a middle-aged general said coldly: "In this case, you can have a cure."

　　 I looked at it with questioning eyes, and the general said: "This general Fan Wencheng is the general guard under the command of King Qi."

　　 I smiled slightly and said: "Don’t worry about the general, you will come in time. As long as I have acupuncture for your Highness and prescribe a prescription, you will surely save King Qi’s life, but King Qi will need to rest for half a year in the future."

　　 Both General Fan and General Huang showed joy. Under their supervision, I used acupuncture and moxibustion for King Qi and asked Chi Ji to be his assistant. It took me an hour to complete the complex process of passing the golden needles, and then again A prescription for detoxification was prescribed. The medicine in their army was quite complete, and my prescription had no special medicine. Soon after taking the medicine, King Qi's complexion became normal and he slept much more peacefully. General Huang thankfully sent me to the wing to rest. Chen Zhen saw them going out and asked in a low voice: "My lord, will they let us go tomorrow?"

　　 I said lightly: "It doesn't matter, I think King Qi is a smart man. If he doesn't let him go, I have my own way to take his life."

　　 The next morning, King Qi woke up, and General Huang immediately summoned me to get Qi King’s pulse. Li Xian lay on the bed and looked at me with a smile. When I announced that the toxicity in his body was okay, as long as he continued to take my prescription, he could clear the remaining poison. Li Xian said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, we will meet strangers today. Master Meng saved Ben. For Wang’s life, Master Jiang will just go back with me."

　　 I said lightly: "His Royal Highness Qi is not good at this. The next official is a Southern Chu minister. How can you surrender to Da Yong? If your Royal Highness does not wish to save his life, just kill the next official."

　　 Li Xian hurriedly said: "The adults don't need to be angry. Don't dare to forget the life-saving grace. If the adults are not willing, I will not force it."

　　 I am happy, I have known that Li Xian admires King Yong in his heart, and King Yong is a man of love and righteousness. In this case, I will not be embarrassed. Then if I say this, King Qi will not be ungrateful. That’s why I would treat Wang Qi without conditions.

　　 Li Xian saw that I was relieved, and then asked: "I heard that Lord Jiang is going to treat a friend, don't know if this king knows me?" I saw the doubt in King Qi's eyes, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness naturally recognizes that it is my Prince Zhao Jue of Nanchude."

　　 Li Xian furiously said: "It turns out that you actually went to treat him. It's unreasonable. Do you think the king will let you heal him?"

　　 I said coldly: "Dai Yong Nan Chu fought, Prince De was assassinated midway, and His Royal Highness was wounded in battle. Since I am treating His Highness, I am not worried that His Highness will come again in the future. I don’t know that His Royal Highness is so afraid of Prince De. He died at the hands of an assassin." Li Xian said after a long time before saying: "I think Zhao Jue will not be able to stop my Da Yong cavalry even if his injuries are healed, nothing more, go and treat him, tell him I will let him. Die in my hands." I bowed slightly to indicate compliance.

　　 Three days later, King Qi’s injury basically improved, and he let me go until he broke up with me, in the carriage, he said: "Master Jiang, Nan Chu will die in my hands sooner or later. Master Jiang can come to me, this king will surely save Master Jiang's life and wealth." I just remained silent, as for him as if I acquiesced or dissatisfied, let him go.

　　After breaking up with King Qi, I hurried all night and finally arrived at Xiangyang. Bai Yi and the general guarding the city gate recognized him, and soon I went into the city and went straight to Prince De's residence. But as soon as I got to the door, I heard a crying sound from inside. I was stunned, and then rushed in like crazy. The sergeants who guarded the gate basically recognized me. When I rushed into Prince De’s bedroom, I saw Rong Yuan lying on the ground and crying, while on the bed was Zhao Jue, who was as white as paper. The Thief stood by with a sad expression. When they saw me coming in, Rong Yuan choked up and said: "Suiyun, you are late."

　　 I yelled gaffefully: "Pirate Li, how could this happen, how can you not save his life."

　　 the thief walked forward and said: "My lord, the villain used medicine for the prince. The effect is obvious. Although the prince has been up to the city to supervise the battle, the injury has not deteriorated too much. Who knows, today the lord of the country reprimanded the prince. The edict, anger attacked my heart, vomiting blood again and again, and within half an hour, I went."

　　 Rong Yuan cried forward and said: "Suiyun, don't blame him, he has done his best."

　　 I said coldly: "Where is the edict?"

　　 Rong Yuan gave a long sigh and pointed to the table next to me. I stepped forward and took a look at the yellow edict. I only felt that my chest was depressed, and my mouth was sweet. Wow, I vomited blood. I saw cold words written on the edict.

　　"Uncle Wang knows the art of war deeply. He not only controls one hundred thousand elite soldiers, but also according to the natural dangers of Xiangyang, why the long battle has been ineffective, and the army of Ren Yong has come from there. Is there any collusion with the enemy? I hope that the governor will understand this autumn of national strength and make a quick battle. "

　　 I put down the edict, pushed away Chi Ji and Pirates who wanted to support me, looked at the table, there was a watch on it, I opened the watch, Rong Yuan wanted to come over to stop me, but stopped again. I looked down. The handwriting was neat, but there were blood stains in several places.

　　"Je is the honor of the royal family, mediocre talent, known to the emperor, appointed a heart, commanding the army, dare not to do his best, but the body is sick, and the ambition has not been declared, and the middle way is lost, and the hatred is extreme. Fang Jin Da Yong is raging, Southern Chu is exhausted~IndoMTL.com~ This is the autumn of sincere survival, Jue will die today, dare to speak up, and since I made peace with Da Yong, courtiers have breathed in Da Yong, fearing war and seeking peace. However, the heart of the tiger and wolf is willing to rest lightly. The lord of the country should be relatives and virtuous ministers, distant villains, sparse harems, diligent in government affairs, concentrating on military affairs, far away from the Northern Han Dynasty, and close to Da Yong. Which one can guarantee the safety of the Southern Chu society. The defense of Xiangyang is the most important thing. Those who are Rong Yuan, the confidant of the minister, have many talents, the military affairs, the old ministry of Jue, can be controlled by this person, ask the king to order this man to guard Xiangyang on behalf of this person, then you can keep Xiangyang safe, and Zhenyuan Hou Luxin He is loyal and meticulous, and can take the post of the governor of the city. Jue Lin has no words. If you learn from it, you will die."

　　 I put down the form, thinking of Zhao Jue's grief and writing this form with tears and tears, and said: "Why is the prince so stubborn? What is today."

　　 Rong Yuan stepped forward and said: "The prince is on his deathbed, thinking of the adults, and once wanted to recommend the adults to guard Xiangyang, but he thought about it again and again, and said: "Suiyun is elegant and elegant. Dying, Mr. Rong told Suiyun on my behalf that if Nanchu is extinct in the future, Mr. Wang will look at Jue’s face and leave a pulse of cigarettes for me in Nanchu.'"

　　 I stayed silent for a long time and said lightly: "Mr. Rong, please be sorry, the lord of the country is not a ruthless person. Seeing the king’s seal, he will definitely regret it. The matter of Mr. guarding Xiangyang should be done. I’m cold, I’m about to resign and go on a long journey. I’ll see each other in the future, and I’ll talk about my differences."

　　 After that, I turned around and left. When I reached the door, when I raised the curtain and got into the car, I heard the sound of guns coming from a distance, shaking the sky, twelve notes, and the coach died in the army. Putting down the curtain, I said lightly: "Start." The carriage ran, and for a long time, I pushed the window of the car to look at the gloomy sky outside, and for the first time, I really felt that Nan Chu, it was over.
