Chapter 132: Tangled Questions
For several days in a row, the ship did not dock and went all the way south.
The flying pigeon also continued to pass on the news of the war situation and the news of several countries to us.
On this day, the boat sailed to the nameless small village of Nanliang, the river water was clear, and the speed of the boat was not fast.
I was watching the disciples of the Jade Pavilion cast their nets and catch fish at the stern of the boat.
The preparation on the ship is very complete, even the fishing nets are prepared, although the nets are small, but the receipt is quite rich.
Seeing the whole net of big fish jumping in the net that was slowly pulled up, I said happily, "Why don't you come and make a whole fish feast tonight." ”
The fluttering and flapping pigeon came to a stop at my feet at that moment.
Reaching for the note tied to the pigeon's leg, I grabbed a handful of beans from the small plaque on the shelf and fed it to it.
Since Yun Chu gave Chen Yuqing that trick, I always have to think carefully about the authenticity of the information I received.
I don't dare to believe any information that is sent to my door rashly.
Today's message was sent from Neiying, who was stationed in the Flame Country, and it was the news that the Flame Country's army had withdrawn from the northern border of the Lake Country.
Speaking of which, it has not been a day or two since Xuanyuan Jingya was buried in the grotto at the bottom of the cave.
Anyone who has a cursory understanding of the original battle situation can predict what the harsh form of shì means to the Flame Country.
Originally, under the leadership of Xuanyuan Jingya, the army was like a bamboo.
happened to run into the incident caused by the ninth princess, and Xuanyuan Jingya didn't know where to get the news, so she took the lead to seize the treasure.
It's a pity that after all, the bamboo basket was empty, and she and the ninth princess both died underground.
The treasure that the world covets, the whole hall of hidden treasures. The pagodas of the white jade were all buried with a major collapse activated by the underground mechanism, and the river water poured in.
With the means of this world, no one can have the power to obtain it anymore!
As soon as Xuanyuan Jingya went, the army of the Flame Kingdom was leaderless.
The old emperor of the Flame Kingdom pondered for a long time. Only then did he send two unsuccessful sons to the front line to take over Xuanyuan Jingya's position.
He chose the eldest among the short, and finally picked out two sons who were relatively better.
The bad is the bad, he chose two.
It is true that good things come in pairs, but it does not make sense to put it into practice when it comes to fighting a war and commanding an army.
If only one son is sent to replace Xuanyuan Jingya, that prince has a heavy responsibility, and in order to live up to his mission, he may be more resolute and do his best.
The mediocre old emperor of the Flame Country chose two of them, and his starting point was naturally good. One doesn't give anything, and the other just urges him.
As everyone knows, in this way, the two sons are bound to compete for merit.
These are all masters who have been spoiled in the palace, courage, strategy, and martial arts, none of them are as good as Xuanyuan Jingya, but the fight for merit is more powerful than the other.
Xuanyuan Jingya's shining point is there, just talking about fighting, it is true that no one in the entire Flame Country can match her.
People are also good men. But the fact that she is a good man did not delay her from fighting in the north and south!
It is said that within a few days of the arrival of the two losers in the army, the army of the Flame Country was privately divided into two camps.
Support different princes separately.
Over the past few days, there have been a lot of things like chickens flying and dogs jumping.
There was not the slightest tacit understanding between these two people, and even the spies they sent to the Land of Lakes did not exchange news.
The accident happened only in one morning and evening.
It's like pork is on the board, and sooner or later it will have to be cooked.
It's funny to say. In the end, these two people were caught in a trap by the people who came from the country of the sea at the same time.
This is something that only a few of us know.
Although the two princes do not have a tacit understanding or communication with the use of soldiers in war, they only have one hobby that both of them like.
The same hobby as Xuanyuan Jingya, lustful!
Isn't it a family that doesn't enter the door, isn't it a hobby of these two?
That's a brothel!
After analyzing the situation, the Tenfang men who came from the country of the sea set up an ambush in the brothel.
It was a famous brothel in the top of the small town of Nanliang, where they were stationed.
The tense war situation does not affect the singing and dancing, and the business of the brothel is still very good.
The fighting did not affect the town for a day, and the brothels continued to operate as usual.
Because the two masters felt that they were in the barracks, they had to keep a low profile if they wanted to go out to have fun, so as not to catch the other party.
So the moon was dark and the wind was high that day. Both of them only took a few of their subordinates out of the house.
In the brothel, Tianfang's subordinates, who had been set up and ambushed for a long time, were arrested one after the other.
The key is that the news is tightly controlled, and no rumors leak out.
The Flame Kingdom suffered a big loss, and the two princes actually disappeared at the same time. I don't see anyone alive, I don't see a corpse alive.
The news of their discord had already reached the Flame Country, so the cause of death seemed very confusing.
The bold even speculated privately that the two coaches and the people who benefited from them disappeared, so it shouldn't be that they all died together.
As soon as the old emperor of the Flame Kingdom received the news of the disappearance of the prince, he almost fainted on the dragon throne.
The next day, he woke up trembling and ordered the flame army to retreat.
After capturing two prisoners, my brother was ready to send us to the next stop and left on the road.
I've spent more time with Tianfang than with Yun Chu these days.
Yun Chu's physical condition improved a little, but then he didn't know what was waiting for him to deal with.
I have a hunch that there will be new variables along the way.
In the past few days, I have been urging him to adjust his breath and rest, and don't worry so much about it.
I think Chen Yuqing is very arrogant on the surface, but he is a careful character on the inside, and what happened on the ship can't escape his attention.
He will also analyze and respond to the information he receives as soon as possible.
Yun Chu itself is more important than what we have to face.
I reached a tacit agreement with Chen Yuqing not to say anything, and even my subordinates had to order me not to disturb my son's rest as much as possible.
Yunchu's three meals a day, to be exact, two meals, are all taken care of by me.
He may also be aware of the next situation, I have already guessed it from the time he told Chen Yuqing to connect with the Liu family.
So in the past few days, Yun Chu himself has been very cooperative. He instructed me to bring him a meal once a day in the morning and evening, and to keep quiet the rest of the time so as not to disturb him.
I also wondered if Yun Chu would be like being in the ground again if Yun Chu supported me like this. I want to use some strong medicine to suppress the old diseases on my body.
I can only ask my senior brother about this.
In the whole team, in the whole group of people, Lan Tianfang is the person who is the most proficient in medical skills except Yun Chu.
His medical skills are much better than those of me, who is a halfway monk.
When he encountered the bandits, if he hadn't been able to treat them in time, I am afraid that Yun Chu would have been difficult to survive.
The blue sky is put because of the separation and then that is. He answered every question I asked me patiently and carefully, and it was the best time to discuss it with him.
"Senior brother, can you sue me, Yun Chu has locked himself in his room all day, and even I can only see him twice a day."
"Will he use some drastic means at all?" I looked at the blue sky with some apprehension and said the question in my heart.
"Little junior sister, what do you mean?" Lan Tianfang looked at me, put down the map he was looking at, and responded, "What an excesses." ”
I hesitated. Say what I was most worried about: "Last time we were at the bottom of the Cang Rock, Yun Chu carried the medicine to suppress the old disease in his arms. ”
I recalled that moment, my body felt a little cold for no reason, and I couldn't help but shiver and said: "At that time, Chen Yuqing reminded me not to let him use those medicines. ”
"It is said that some medicines can only suppress the hidden dangers of the old diseases in Xia Yunchu's body for a while, and in a short period of time, the body will recover to the same level as a normal person." I couldn't say any more, so I took a sip from the teacup on the table.
"You mean, he uses forbidden drugs to achieve short-term recovery and suppression...... The purpose of the injury. "I don't know why, Lan Tianfang paused a little when he said the word injury, but I didn't pay much attention to this small detail at the time.
"Well, that's what it means," I dodged Lan Tianfang's somewhat inquiring gaze and shook my head, "He naturally didn't use that medicine, and I won't give it to him." ”
"Even though I'm not as skilled as you both. But I still understand the truth of drinking water to quench thirst. "My heart is heavy, and some feelings that cannot be discharged can be said to my senior brother at this moment.
"Senior brother," I swallowed as I spoke, wondering whether I should ask the next question.
I soothed my feelings and said, "That medicine can only be effective in the short term. Afterwards, he will inevitably backfire on his body, and his condition may be worse than at the beginning, and I am not in favor of using this method. ”
That's not the medicine that heals the roots, it's the medicine that kills!
With this sentence foreshadowing, it is easier for me to say the next words: "Senior brother, I have always wanted to ask you, what is wrong with Yun Chu's body, or should I ask more frankly, what is the severity of his old illness?" ”
I looked up at the blue sky: "Can you confess to me?" ”
Lan Tian was stunned for a moment, and reflexively repeated a few words: "What is Yan zhòng to?" ”
He was silent, and suddenly smiled a little self-deprecatingly.
I was waiting for his answer, so I paid extra attention to his every move at the moment, and when I saw this reaction, I was a little anxious: "Can't you tell me?" ”
Lan Tian put his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the cabin, and I saw that he looked like he was thinking about how to answer me.
My senior brother is also a stubborn person, if he refuses to speak, I may not be able to get an answer after too many questions.
Hey, I always meet people like this.
But this question has been hovering over me for days.
Comparing the current Yun Chu to a patient, I am the doctor who is often helpless.
I don't have a comprehensive understanding of the real condition of the patient around me, what is more worrying about me as a doctor?
Especially, this patient is Yunchu!
So at this moment, I also insisted on my stubbornness, stubbornly asking my senior brother to give me an answer, after all, he didn't look like a person who knew nothing.
His hesitation is proof that he knows!
Lan Tianfang paced back and forth in the cabin, and for a while only his footsteps could be heard in the quiet cabin.
After a dozen turns, he finally stopped in front of me again.
"It's not that Senior Brother won't sue you, but if this happens to me," Lan Tianfang frowned slightly, "I will also think that it is more reliable to ask the person concerned than to ask other people, what do you say?" ”
"The problem is that Yun Chu has always avoided my questions," my hand unconsciously clenched the teacup on the table, "Of course I have asked him, I have asked more than once, but he ......"
Speaking of this, my face flushed: "He is a master of conversation, I was accidentally changed the topic by him, how can I ask the answer." ”
I said helplessly: "As a person who knows the art of conversation, he will avoid the point." ”
