81. [078] Confession
Shen Xian pinched his chin with one hand and forced him to open his mouth, and poured another pill from Hua Tuo into it.
"Recruit?"
Shen Xian's tone can be called gentle, unless she is drunk and unconsciously coquettish with Guo Jia, she usually doesn't use this voice to speak. However, when the cell boss heard Shen Xian's question, he stared at Shen Xian's slender back, and a cold air ran down his spine from the heel directly to the top of his head, and he quietly took two steps back, paused, and took two steps back.
Liu Miao noticed the cell boss's behavior, but he didn't say anything, just a sneering expression flashed on his face.
Shen Xian had repeated this action exactly three times, and although she was very patient and did not see the slightest impatience, the words muttered under the confusion of the spy eyes showed that Shen Xian's interrogation had failed again.
The poor spy who was struggling under Shen Xian put it this way: "I'm just a businessman...... Who are you...... What do we have ......?"
The cell boss can't stand it anymore, he is just a small prison guard, he has never seen anything too big, although he usually abuses the prisoners and squeezes their surplus value to make extra money, but what the self-proclaimed ruthless cell boss does is to whip and threaten the prisoners, and most of the prisoners are already crying and begging for mercy when the torture instruments are brought in front of them. The cell boss has never seen a character as tough as these three spies, and he has never seen Shen Xian's torture method.
Shen Xian didn't dip the whip in salt water, stab the knife or do anything bloody, she just randomly clicked on the prisoners a few times, and then began to give them medicine.
The medicine was contributed by the old man who was standing behind with his arms in his arms studying the torture tools, and the cell boss heard Shen Xianzun call him "Master", so I think this should be Hua Tuo, the divine doctor who was praised by everyone outside and cured the Lujiang epidemic, right? But shouldn't all divine doctors be bodhisattvas? Why is this medicine invented by Hua Tuo so terrifying?
The prisoner didn't react at first after taking Hua Tuo's medicine, but he kept looking at Shen Xian with strange eyes, and defended himself a few words, but it was all a bit of nonsense, which was nothing more than saying that they were wronged, and begged the adults to let him out. Gradually, however, the prisoner's breathing became more and more rapid, his face began to turn pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his forehead. I don't know how long it took for the prisoner to howl like a pig.
"Recruit?"
Shen Xian asked these two words for the first time, and her tone was as soft as if she was talking about today's weather, but the prisoner was rolling on the ground with his stomach in pain, and he didn't care about answering Shen Xian's words at all. Shen Xian was not annoyed, she took two steps back and watched the prisoner roll around while screaming, tossing for a stick of incense, and finally stopped out of strength.
Then Shen Xian shook the medicine bottle in her hand and fed the prisoner another pill.
"Recruit?"
This time, the prisoner couldn't scream, his pupils dilated slightly, and his breathing became weak, and after Shen Xian let go of him, he fell directly to the ground and convulsed like an epilepsy.
This process lasted for about a stick of incense, and then the opening scene.
From beginning to end, Shen Xian only said six words and one word, but the attitude of understatement with a wave of his hand scared the two heads of the cell.
This is such a terrible woman, and she can't be seen to be so ruthless from the outside.
Just when Shen Xian pinched the prisoner's chin for the fourth time to feed the medicine, Hua Tuo finally couldn't help but speak: "Enough, if you feed it any more, you will die." β
"But he hasn't said who sent him." Shen Xian said in a light tone: "Ask someone else?" β
"It's useless." Hua Tuo frowned, and he sighed lightly: "These people are trained, no amount of pain will shake them, it seems that I made a mistake......
"So, Master, you still have a way?" Shen Xian raised her eyebrows slightly, and respectfully handed the medicine bottle back to Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo pursed his lips, he picked and chose in the medicine box for a long time, and finally took out a bottle that was about the same size as the one just now: "You try this, I can't help it if it doesn't work anymore." β
"What does this do?" Shen Xian opened the bottle and sniffed the smell, she smelled a very faint scent of book ink, and when she inhaled again, it seemed to turn into the aroma of magnolia flowers. Just when Shen Xian was slightly intoxicated by the smell of this medicine and showed a somewhat relaxed expression on her face, Hua Tuo suddenly slapped Shen Xian's head.
Shen Xian came back to her senses suddenly, she was stunned, and there was an indescribable meaning in her gaze when she looked at Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo warned expressionlessly: "Don't smell too much, you will be addicted." β
The cell boss thought he would see the cruelty of the scene again, but he didn't.
After this time the medicine was poured down, a happy expression gradually appeared on the prisoner's face, and he held his shoulders with both hands, knelt on the ground, tilted his head and whispered, his eyes reverent and focused.
Although it was not as frightening as the screaming just now, after watching this scene for a long time, the cell boss felt even more creepy.
Feeling that the effect of the medicine was almost exhausted, Shen Xian picked the prisoner's chin with a whip and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing in Lujiang? β
This time, the prisoner did not say anything meaningless, such as "I am innocent". He was silent for a long time, and then whispered, "Tiger camp ......"
Shen Xian's gaze shook slightly, she turned her head to look at Liu Xuan, and without saying much, Liu Xuan immediately invited the cell leader out of this cell.
Then Liu Miao stood at the door and thought about it, and did not go in again, but came outside to help Shen Xian guard the door, in case someone eavesdropped on the conversation inside.
Although the prisoner only said three words, these three words were already very shocking.
Because the Tiger Camp commands the guards of the Forbidden Palace and is the emperor's direct subordinate.
Liu Miao thought that there were some things that he still didn't know.
There were only three people left in the cell, and Shen Xian didn't open her mouth to let Hua Tuo go, so Hua Tuo stood there with a grin.
Hua Tuo smiled and said, "That kid is quite interesting. β
"He has always been interested," Shen Xian basked slightly: "I am a little suspicious of interest." β
"I don't think there's anything else on my mind." Hua Tuo touched his chin and said, "Do you want me to help you take a look?" β
"No, I think so too."
Shen Xian pressed her abdomen with one hand and frowned slightly. It may be that she got up early in the morning and didn't eat, and she felt a slight labor pain in her lower abdomen.
Turning her gaze back to the prisoner, Shen Xian asked again, "Who sent you?" What is the purpose? β
"Boss......" said the prisoner dumbfoundedly, "poison ......"
Before the prisoner's words fell, Hua Tuo suddenly changed color, he grabbed Shen Xian's wrist, and in Shen Xian's stunned gaze, his whole face was wrinkled into a ball of orange peel.
"How...... Is it? Looking at Hua Tuo's appearance, Shen Xian also felt a little apprehensive in her heart, she didn't find anything wrong after running her internal force for a while, so she was a little skeptical that Hua Tuo was scaring her again.
"You have a stomachache?" Hua Tuo asked dryly.
Shen Xian was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly and asked, "Is it a little ...... I thought it was the reason for the irregular eating recently, was it very strict? β
"It depends on what you say." Hua Tuo looked down at the prisoner who had passed out in a coma, and said with a complicated expression: "If they poison you, this poison will not cause much harm to your body in a short period of time, and it will not pose a threat to your life even if it accumulates over time." β
Shen Xian laughed when she heard this: "Then what kind of poison is this?" β
"Because it does something else." Hua Tuo wrote lightly: "You will not be able to have children." β
Shen Xian seriously recalled her conversation with Hua Tuo three times, and then she confirmed that she heard correctly, what Hua Tuo said was the phrase "you can't give birth to children".
Suddenly, I feel that the script has changed from dominating the world to Gong Dou, what is going on? Shen Xian rubbed her stomach, looking a little confused.
"Is this matter very strict?" Shen Xian asked tentatively, "I didn't think about giving birth to me originally?" Born with whom? β
Shen Xian said no, but involuntarily sketched the appearance of her future child in her mind: there should be a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes, and then the small mouth pouted, and the skin was very white......
Wait, wait! I just said I don't plan to give birth! A bunch of bear children at home is enough to worry about, and another one won't kill anyone! And even if she was going to give birth, why did that child look so much like an integrated version of her and someone!
Shen Xian silently crossed out the face of the little bun she pinched.
"Not born? Are you kidding? Hua Tuo stared at Shen Xian with an expression of "You must be teasing me", and he said very bluntly: "What should you do if you don't have children?" To whom? Give it away? β
It makes so much sense that I can't refute it at all. And yetβ
"Yes...... But can I give birth myself? Shen Xian looked at Hua Tuo blankly: "Find someone...... Aren't you afraid that the child hasn't been there yet, her father will rob the foundation first? Or support the child to deal with me? β
This is really not Shen Xian's concern, she still remembers that when she heard the reason for his rebellion from Judd, she almost vomited three liters of blood in anger.
Hua Tuo snorted coldly and lectured Shen Xian like a cannon: "Are you stupid? Do you need me to teach you how to do the intratrial surgery? Just find someone, of course! Find someone who looks handsome and handsome, and it's good for future generations. β
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and then wrote lightly: "As for the ones you are worried about, kill that person when you are satisfied with the birth, and continue to give birth if you are not satisfied, such a simple matter, what is there to worry about." β
Shen Xian: "......"
Only Hua Tuo dared to say such taboo things to Shen Xian, but Hua Tuo didn't joke yet, he still stared at Shen Xian seriously. Shen Xian began to think that Hua Tuo was just talking casually, but soon she found out that the master really thought so, so Shen Xian was shocked, she was a little afraid that one day Hua Tuo would know that she liked Guo Jia, and directly drugged and tied people up......
Belch! Driving the absurd thoughts out of her mind, Shen Xian waved her hand and said, "Forget it, let's go back to the original topic first, these people drugged me, and the consequence is that I may not be able to have children...... Why didn't they just kill me? β
"yes, why?" A complicated look flashed in Hua Tuo's eyes: "I'm not their head, how do I know?" β
"Tiger Ben Camp...... In other words, is that the one on the dragon chair meant? Shen Xian's tone was soft and ethereal, she stared at the prisoner who was fainting on the ground, and only felt that this qiΔ was ridiculous: "I have no grievances with him in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, he promoted me to a high position while promoting me to a high position, but turned his head but rejected my heir, what kind of trouble is this?" β
In order to be on the safe side, Shen Xian interrogated the other two prisoners, and under the poison sponsored by Hua Tuo's friendship, the results were similar, but they were the boss/adult/commander in the title of the mastermind, none of these three titles could put on the emperor's head, even if Shen Xian wanted to be held accountable in the future, at most it would be chased to the head of Wang Yue, the general of the tiger ben, and it was obvious that this one was pushed out to take the blame.
After determining the origin of the spy, Shen Xian and Hua Tuo sighed: "I thought that the person who came was either Yuan Benchu or Yuan Highway, but I really didn't expect it to be the one." β
However, Hua Tuo doesn't care who sent the spy, as a qualified (comic) master and reliable (?? Doctor, he only cares about one thingβ
"I prescribed medicine for you, take three pairs first to see the effect, and then change the prescription when it's okay." Hua Tuo dragged Shen Xian to the pharmacy to grab the medicine: "If you eat this poison for three months in a row, it will not be cured, but it is found relatively early, and it can be cured." β
"I've always chased others to drink medicine, and now it's finally their turn to chase me."
Shen Xian stared at the bowl of terrifying medicinal soup that looked darker and more bitter than Guo Jia's conditioning body, and pinched her nose and drank it in disgust under Hua Tuo's fierce gaze.
After drinking the medicine, Shen Xian said in a low voice, "Master, don't publicize this matter first. β
"Do you still need to say it?" Hua Tuo glared at Shen Xian.
A day later, Liu Xian came to Shen Xian, at this time he pinched just right, neither in front nor back, even if Shen Xian was angry with the answer that everyone knew, it was time to vent and face the reality calmly. And Liu Miao didn't ask Shen Xian who sent the spies, he just came to ask Shen Xian what to do with these people.
Shen Xian's favorability towards Liu Xian's actions reached a new high, she curled her fingers and gently tapped the tabletop, and after thinking for a long time, she smiled slightly: "Do it." β
"Okay." Liu Miao didn't have the slightest objection, nodded and turned around and left.
When Liu Miao walked to the door, Shen Xian stopped him with a word: "I know that you send military reports to your eldest brother every day, so you don't need to tell them about this matter." β
"Understood."
After Liu Miao left, Shen Xian spread out the rice paper and soaked it in ink, and began to write a letter to a person far away in Yizhou.
On the side of Shen Xian, who sent troops from Yuzhang, the person who commanded the army was Sun Ce; And on the Yizhou side of the army from Ba County, the leader of the army was a figure that no one expected.
Cai Yan.
This is the result of Xun Yu and Xun Yu's discussion.
Considering Zhang Xiu's dizziness as soon as he got on the boat, he was taken from the position of pioneer and stayed in Yizhou to accompany the Xunyu Town Bureau. Zhang Xiu had no problem with this arrangement at all, and he had to go on a boat.
The candidates for the vanguard were Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, among whom Zhao Yun was brave and strategic, but he lacked experience in water combat, so a certain thief leader who relied on robbing homes on the waterway to collect protection money stood out and honorably assumed the position of pioneer.
"Zhao Ji is in charge, Xingba is the vanguard, Zilong leads the army to suppress the formation, Gongda overseers the army is the strategist, and the Qian girl is in charge of the army's Chinese JiΓ n and other miscellaneous affairs, so arrange it." Xun Yu's clapper is set.
Xun Yu took a pen to write and draw on rice paper, outlining a simple route map for the march, and after Xun Yu revised it, he showed it to Cai Yan to see.
"I'm okay with that." Cai Yan smiled slightly, and put the roadmap into his arms: "It's just the first time to lead the troops, so I want to ask you to take care of it." β
In addition to Xun Yu and Zhang Xiu on this expedition, almost all the people who could be dispatched in Yizhou were mobilized, and even Gan Qian was brought into the army by Cai Yan for the reason of taking care of her life, and she was stuffed with a job of managing chores. In the six months that Shen Xian was absent from Yizhou, from the handling of Wen JiΓ n to the strategy of political affairs, Gan Qian has been following Cai Yan to learn various things bit by bit. She had never been in contact with these before, and always thought that girls only needed to be gentle and bright at home with their husbands and children, but Shen Xian and Cai Yan helped her open up a new world, and once she stepped in, she never wanted to return to the previous state of living a busy life.
Although Gan Qian studied very seriously, she had a weak foundation after all, and she was still far from being alone. Fortunately, Cai Yan is not in a hurry, and she does not expect Gan Qian to reach any height, even she herself is groping, but it is better for the two girls to cheer together and encourage each other than to walk alone.
As for Zhang Lu's side...... The person in charge is his mother, Mrs. Qingxuan.
Before leaving, Zhang Lu repeatedly advised: "Mother, if you encounter any problems, you must write to me to ask ......"
"I'm not stupid." Mrs. Qingxuan rolled her eyes at Zhang Lu: "Little rabbit cub, you started to dislike me when your wings were hard, right?" I think that when you and I followed the Heavenly Master across the rivers and lakes, you were not born yet! β
"Yes, yes, mother, you are the best." Zhang Lu said helplessly: "The main thing here is to prevent Han Wen Youtun's army in Chencang Pass, and Liu Jingsheng has Liu Yuanjun and Bofu to clean them up, so let's play a role in countermeasures." β
For Zhang Lu, who is usually very cold in front of the disciples and doesn't like to talk much, but as soon as a pair of relatives start nagging, Mrs. Qingxuan's choice is to slap the back of Zhang Lu's head: "Shut up!" β
The three men and horses arrived at the designated place on time and took their positions within the agreed time, and then launched an attack together.
At the beginning, Liu Biao blossomed on three sides, and he was almost stunned, because he transferred most of his soldiers and horses to Wancheng and Kuimen to defend the Yuzhou battlefield and Shen Xian's side respectively, so the armies of Mrs. Qingxuan and Cai Yan were met with strong resistance one after another, and the person with the fastest progress became Sun Ce. Sun Ce followed the Yangtze River all the way to Xiling City before encountering a decent counterattack, but he soon broke through the city gate, and Jiangxia County's seat was simply taken.
Later, Sun Ce listened to the opinions of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and did not rush forward, but stayed in Xiling City to reorganize the soldiers and horses, scattered the captured enemy troops into other teams, sent Jia Xu to count the materials in the city, sent Han Dang to settle those captured officials, and also seized a large number of weapons and food, relieving a lot of pressure on Zhou Yu in the rear.
Of course, Sun Ce stopped, and there was another reason he didn't want to admit that Guo Jia was seasick and vomited to death.
Without Shen Xian's acupuncture treatment anytime and anywhere, Guo Jia is waiting for death in bed, but ghosts are ghosts, although Guo Jia usually puts on an attitude of indifference to everything, but once he enters the state of work, his brain will burst out with terrifying power, supporting him to think clearly and comprehensively in a difficult environment.
"Why do you think you are suffering? Knowing that you are seasick, isn't it good to stay in Lujiang? I have to follow. β
Jia Xu didn't know where to find a funnel and stuffed it into Guo Jia's mouth, and despite his opposition and refusal, he poured the medicine into Guo Jia, which made Guo Jia roll his eyes and stare at him with resentment: "Jia Wen and you...... Usually there are not so many words. β
"I want to say more when I'm happy, you care about me?" Jia Xu faced Guo Jia's angry gaze without any pressure, and he smiled slightly: "How good do you expect me to be to you?" I'm not the lord, so I don't care if you're uncomfortable or not. β
"Jia Wen and you are waiting......" Guo Jia swallowed the last mouthful of medicine, he coughed while pressing his chest and threw himself to the side of the bed to vomit, but was pressed back by Jia Xu with a finger lightly: "Lying down, I finally drank the medicine, you have to get up tomorrow, we have to discuss the next thing, Liu Jingsheng has already reacted, but it is difficult to divide so many soldiers and horses for a while, but other counties have received the news of our attack, so we must be prepared, and it will not be as easy as this time in the future." β
Guo Jia casually took out a handkerchief and wiped off the medicine that flowed to the corners of his lips, although his face was as white as paper, his eyes were amazingly bright: "I naturally know that Liu Jingsheng is also a hegemon, how can he have no countermeasures?" It's just that we are attacking from three sides, and he has no skills, even if Huang Zu is there, there is still one side that has been spared, unless ......"
"Unless he dares to use Fan Yiming." Jia Xu took over Guo Jia's words: "I hope their civil strife has been settled, otherwise how boring it is." β
"You're going to have to use the counter-trick again." Guo Jia glanced at Jia Xu: "Isn't there any other way for you to do it except this trick?" β
Jia Xu smiled incomprehensibly: "It's not new, just work." β
The two were silent for a while, Guo Jia covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and from time to time there was a low coughing sound, Jia Xu took the bamboo slip at the head of the bed, spread it out and looked at it casually, and when he saw a certain paragraph, he suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly: "I didn't expect Wen Ruo to let Zhao Ji be in charge...... To the east of the White Emperor City, it is difficult to travel for thousands of miles to the Three Gorges, and it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that the enemy has defense, I am afraid that they will not be able to fight this battle. β
"There is Gongda, what are you afraid of? Besides, where is Zhao Ji the lord who is bullied. β
Guo Jiaxin said that Shen Xian took the lead, which of the girls in Yizhou is easy to bully? Even the proprietress of the Drunken Moon Building set up the score one by one.
Guo Jia pursed his lips: "I want to see if Huang Zu is going to Zhaoji's side or coming here." β
"Bo Fu is full of energy to seek revenge on him, if it weren't for Gong Jin's repeated advice before leaving, I'm afraid none of us would have been able to persuade him." Thinking of the grievances between Huang Zu and Sun Ce, Jia Xu blushed slightly: "Just let him stop and reorganize the army in Xiling this time, I almost thought that he would not be obedient, but I didn't expect him to agree in the end." β
"Sun Bofu, this person is not completely brave and resourceless." Guo Jia said in a flat tone: "It's just that it doesn't look very reliable usually." β
"It's the same as the lord." Jia Xu shook his head: "It is worthy of being a brother and sister." β
"But he can't hold it back," Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "So Huang Zu should come here, Sun Bofu will take revenge early and solve the knot, and the next will be a lot smoother." β
"This matter needs to be discussed by everyone." Jia Xu nodded, and suddenly the conversation changed: "So you remember to drink medicine at night, otherwise I will still pour you." β
Guo Jia grabbed a roll of bamboo slips and threw it at Jia Xu.
