122.Chapter 121
[Chapter 121 - Disguised Dummy] I heard that the Lord of Ye Gu is virtuous and virtuous
Chu Yuan stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the man had his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. The nose is blue and the face is swollen, but I am afraid that my father may not be able to recognize it.
"It's a Naxi thorn." The Dark Guard explained.
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people gasped and gathered around to take a closer look: "Why did the Naxi Thorn fall into the hands of the Shadow Chaser Palace?" β
"Chu Xiang wanted to kill him, but he was saved by the palace master." The dark guard said, "I think there should be some use, so I ordered us to wait for the emperor here." β
"Chu Xiang wants to kill Naxi Thorn?" Chu Yuan was quite surprised by this, "According to his character, even if he is just a puppet, he should always keep it." β
"It's a long story." The dark guard said, "Can you borrow a fire first, let's roast a few pheasants to eat." β
Ye Jin: "......"
Chu Yuan said: "There are still some dim sum and roast chicken left in the camp tent. β
"It doesn't have to be." The secret guard dragged the pheasant out of his backpack and squatted on the ground to pluck his feathers, "Gongzi told us not to take advantage of the Chu army, even if it is a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge." β
When some soldiers heard this, they immediately looked at the Shadow Chaser Palace - it didn't seem to be as magical as the rumors, but it was quite principled.
The meat was fragrant on the fire, and it was already delicious to simply sprinkle it with salt, and it looked very tempting, even Chu Yuan took a chicken leg from them, and ate it slowly while tearing it with his hands, while listening to what had happened in the White Elephant Kingdom these days.
According to the Secret Guard, when Nava first left, the White Elephant Kingdom was indeed in charge of the Naxi Thorn, and both the people and officials had no objection to this. It's just that less than a month has passed, and Chu Xiang's people have already begun to swagger in and out of the palace. In recent years, the rebels have moved frequently in Nanyang, and it is naturally impossible for the White Elephant Kingdom to be unaware. Before that, almost all the officials were looking forward to cooperating with Da Chu, so a group of ministers went to ask for orders to let the Naxi Thorn remain neutral and not be used by villains.
"And then?" Chu Yuan asked, "He agreed?" β
The dark guard said, "No." Naxi Thorn seemed to be determined to cooperate with Chu Xiang, so instead of listening to the persuasion, he drove out all the courtiers who went to admonish him. β
"As soon as you hear it, you know that you are a fool, no wonder you will be deceived by Chu Xiang." Ye Jin shook his head, "Even if it's just to win people's hearts, you should make a show, how can you just drive it away." β
"What the valley lord said is very true." The dark guard said, "Naxi Thorn acted arbitrarily, and the courtiers did not obey him, and it didn't take long for chaos to break out in the court. Half of the ministers said that they were sick at home, and they did not go to court or pay attention to Naxi's thorns, and only waited for Nava to return. β
The rumors soon spread to the people, and people with ulterior motives were ready to move, and seeing that a riot was about to start, Nava suddenly went back.
Chu Yuan frowned slightly.
"Chu Xiang looked for someone to change his appearance and pretended to be Nava." "And that night, the Naxi Thorn was poisoned, and after his death, he was wrapped around a boulder and thrown into the sea. Fortunately, the palace master has always ordered us to secretly monitor the movements in the palace, so that we can replace the poison with a fake death medicine, and fish him onto the boat in time. β
"This time there is really a Lao Qin Palace Master." Chu Yuan said, "If he can return victoriously one day, I will ...... It will be paid in 10,000 dollars. He originally wanted to say that he would go to the Shadow Chasing Palace to thank him in person, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. Over the years, the relationship between the imperial court and the Shadow Chasing Palace has been delicate, and it is not pleasing to go rashly.
"It's just a different person, and the ministers of the court can't notice it, and even the queen mother and the queen concubine didn't find out?" Ye Jin frowned.
"This time, Chu Xiang can be clever." "Falsely claiming that Nava was stabbed in the head on the way, that he can't remember everything, and that his personality is good and bad, to cover up all the flaws." At least at the time of our departure, there was no major anomaly in the White Elephant Country. β
"What about Jin Shu and Kunda's whereabouts? Moreover, how can he explain that he killed Naxi Thorn? Chu Yuan asked.
"I sent someone to send a letter to Siam, but I don't know what the content is, but I haven't heard anything unusual about it." Dark Guard said, "As for the Naxi Thorn, Chu Xiang didn't want to kill him at first, but unfortunately this person is really arrogant and irritable, and he is purely looking for death." After Chu Xiang threw him into the bottom of the sea, he said that he had been sent to the dark room to think about it, and he hid it for the time being. β
"What now?" Ye Jin asked.
"At the beginning, when troops were sent to besiege the Liuyu Sword Pavilion, Chu Xiang must have known now that the real Nava is in our hands." Chu Yuan said, "Finding an imposter to replace it is really the next strategy, because as long as we arrive in the White Elephant Country, the illusion will be self-defeating." β
"Then why did he do it?" Ye Jin asked again.
"He's not stupid, since he's done this, he has an idea to completely take over the White Elephant Kingdom before we do." Chu Xiang said, "In other words, it is to turn Nava into a dispensable, true and false character, and even make the people start to dislike him, understand?" β
Ye Jin frowned slightly.
"The young heroes of the Shadow Chasing Palace just now said that now everyone in the White Elephant Kingdom knows that Nava was assassinated and injured in the brain, since he hurt his brain, when it comes to really going crazy, who else will take his words seriously?" Chu Yuan said, "This is a good calculation, now use Nava to stabilize the situation first, and then turn him into a madman before us, even if the real Nava tells the truth, how many people can believe it?" Even if I guess correctly, in the past few days, there have been stories spread in the White Elephant Country, starting with Nava's kidnapping in the north and ending with his rescue by me and his journey south, retelling the truth completely. At this time, Nava was clearly in the palace, and the people naturally did not believe it, but only listened to it as a story. It's rare to listen to it for the first time, it's okay to listen to it for the second time, and it's more than a dozen times for the third time, four times, who would be interested in listening to it again? β
Ye Jin said: "What about Kunda and Jin Shu?" β
"According to Xiaoxiao'er's original confession, after Jin Shu escaped, in order to avoid trouble, he wrote a letter to Chu Xiang, saying that he accidentally killed her." Chu Yuan said, "As for Kunda, I don't know how Chu Xiang plans to deal with it." β
"Let's send someone to Siamese to investigate." Ye Jin said, and then picked up the Naxi thorn next to him, "Do you want to wake up this person first?" β
Chu Yuan nodded and sent someone to bring Nava over.
"This ......" Nava was shocked when he saw the unconscious Naxi Thorn.
"The lord of the country doesn't have to worry, he's still alive." The Dark Guard immediately comforted him and recounted the general story of what had happened.
Nava's eyes turned black when he heard this, if the White Elephant Kingdom is still in power with Naxi Thorn, then at least his mother is safe, if it is Chu Xiang, then it is difficult to say.
Chu Yuan called a few shadow guards and ordered them to leave first and secretly go to the White Elephant Country. One is to spy on intelligence, and the other is to protect female dependents.
Ye Jin rolled up his sleeves and woke up Naxi for a while.
Everyone gathered around to watch, and even squeezed their seats.
Naxi Thorn: "......"
Nava's anger rose from his heart, and he kicked him in the head.
Duan Yao immediately felt that it was better for his brother.
Naxi Thorn fainted again.
Ye Jin had no choice but to stab again, and motioned to Duan Yao to block Nava.
Naxi Thorn opened his eyes again.
As usual, it was a circle of curious eyes.
Nashi was dazed, looking at them one by one, and finally made eye contact with Nava.
β¦β¦
Ye Jin reminded in time: "I'll beat you after asking." β
Nava's chest rose and fell violently, his eyes almost erupted with fire, and he roared with a roar: "What the hell is going on! β
Naxi shook, nearly fell unconscious again, and it took a long time for him to tremble and tell the story of the storyβno different from nothing. As everyone had guessed before, Chu Xiang sent people to the mansion to win over the Naxi Thorn, and promised a lot of money and the six cities and seventeen towns of the five states of Great Chu, coaxing people to be overjoyed, and there was one thing to say. After hearing that Nava was kidnapped, he immediately couldn't wait to ascend to the throne to be emperor, but he was quickly disliked by Chu Xiang because he was too stupid, until he was poured poisoned wine, and he didn't figure out what he did wrong.
Ye Jin looked at him with sympathetic eyes, just this brain, he still wanted five states and six cities.
Chu Yuan called the guards, took the Naxi Thorn down temporarily, and sent someone to help Nava back to rest first.
"Now that the matter is done, we should also go after the palace master and the son." "Farewell." β
"Thank you very much." Chu Yuan nodded.
The Dark Guard held out his hand.
Ye Jin: "......"
"Chirp!" The little phoenix squatted in the palm of his hand, spreading its short wings with great interest.
Ye Jin: "......"
Dark Guard: "......"
"The valley master." The dark guard burst into tears and said, "This is the young palace master of my family. "Can we pay it back, we can compensate you for ten chickens, or the old hen will also become."
Ye Jin turned a thousand times, full of reluctance.
"Chirp!" The hairball looked around, there was no softness to rub, and he was slightly disappointed.
"Good." Shen Qianfeng took the little phoenix from him and handed it to the dark guard.
Ye Jin clenched his fists fiercely and couldn't grab it.
The Dark Guard quickly turned on his horse and ran as fast as he could.
Ye Jin: "......"
The rest of the people dispersed with interest, leaving people to Shen Qianfeng, for fear that they would be innocently implicated, and we didn't want to ignore it.
Only the old man was puzzled and asked: "Why are all of a sudden all the birds and beasts scattered?" β
Duan Yao squeezed into the carriage and said in a low voice, "Because I'm afraid that Lord Ye Gu will be angry." β
"If you are angry, you should persuade you, but you hide instead." The old man continued to ask.
Duan Yao pondered the words and said, "When Lord Ye Gu is angry, he is a little fierce, and the next time the seniors encounter it, they will also stay away. β
"Looking at the beautiful eyebrows, no matter how fierce it can be." The old man didn't believe it, "Besides, when I was hiding in Tibet on the rivers and lakes before, I often heard people in the martial arts talking about it, saying that Lord Ye Gu is benevolent, virtuous, virtuous, and gentle, and his temperament is also first-class gentle...... Hey, what's the sound out there? β
Duan Yao smiled dryly: "There is no sound, the senior continued." β
Either demolishing the woods or demolishing the Shen Alliance Lord is not worth going out of his way to see.
Shen Qianfeng couldn't cry or laugh, and forcibly carried the person back to the carriage, Ye Jin's chin rested on his shoulder, still very reluctant, so he lowered his head and bit it angrily.
Chu Yuan sat by the fire, watching the two of them fighting, his eyes were reflected in the firelight, but there was a little longing and reluctance in his heart.
There is still a month to go to the southwest border, and according to the person's temperament, he should have found it a long time ago. However, this war is a matter of importance, and there are many things to do in the southwest province, and I can't wait for one day to be used as two days, and I am afraid that I will not have time to think about anything else.
