It is said that the King of Liao broke Goryeo and returned, from the King of Liao to the generals and even ordinary soldiers who made a fortune, and the kings became more and more impatient. King Lu first sent the general Liu Tong to send troops to Dongying, and the king of Yan ordered the Shenwu general Feng Tang to lead his troops to attack Dongying, and the king of Shu invaded Burma through Yunnan. Because of the distress letters from the lords of several countries in Nanyang, Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, and Wu Fengchun, the general of Yuehai, joined forces in Nanyang. And an army entered Siam, but there was no banner, I don't know which one.

It's okay elsewhere, Dongying is the most lively. The princes of several families robbed there, and they had no intention of educating their people, but only killed and looted. King Chen has been in Dongying for a long time, and he has not even returned to China for the Chinese New Year, and he is appeasing the people and subduing the people. Hearing that Liu Tong and Feng Tang were coming, he was furious: "Rebel and thief! Then he sent two envoys to meet the two generals, and told them that they were originally some nomads from Dongying, and that it was good to be subdued, and that they would not come to attack our dynasty again in the future; The two generals don't need to kill more, this king will devote himself to educating him. Liu Tong and Feng Tang both laughed, and one said, "Heng and Zhi have already created a lot of killings, and it doesn't hurt to have more." Another said, "I'm afraid that King Chen is not here to educate the people of Dongying, but for the silver mines of Dongying." ”

King Chen stayed in Dongying at first thinking about the territory, but later realized that although this country was small and had a lot of silver mines, he was more and more reluctant to leave. Because Huo Sheng never mentioned the silver mine, he only grabbed one vote and left; King Chen thought he was lucky, and no one else knew that there was a mine here. Who knew that Situ Pan actually knew! and became bored. After thinking about it for a few days, he ordered ruthlessly: "Tomorrow, start the army, go and fight Feng Tang first!" ”

The general below was shocked: "Lord Wang, General Feng can fight well, we may not be opponents." Hengzhu has also gained a lot of money, so it is better to go back to Chen Guo. ”

King Chen said angrily: "Go back? Didn't Dongying just give it to him? No matter how capable Feng Tang is, he is also a newcomer, and he is not familiar with the geography of Dongying Road. We have Huo Sheng's map in our hands, are we still afraid of him? Nai gritted his teeth and said, "That's it!" Tomorrow morning, the troops will be raised. Then he refused to listen to them, and waved them out. The generals had no choice but to retreat for the time being, preparing to come back tomorrow.

The next morning, everyone asked to see King Chen, but they didn't see him come out for half a day. After shouting for a long time, the Dongying woman who served him came out with tears in her eyes and kowtowed, and she didn't know what to mean. It is passed on to understand the heavens. The Dongying people who spoke to her came to ask her, and they were immediately shocked! King Chen was fine last night, but he suddenly fell into a coma this morning, and he couldn't wake up no matter how much he pushed and shouted! Everyone hurriedly sent the military doctor and Dr. Dongying to take a look, but they didn't know what was wrong with him. After a few days of chaos, Chen Wangfen did not wake up. The generals were helpless and discussed: "It's better to go back." King Chen withdrew in a coma. Liu Tong and Feng Tang didn't believe it when they heard it, but they only thought he was cowardly.

Because Ma is smart and Liu Tong can't leave her now, he brought her to Dongying. It was to tell Ma about King Chen's inexplicable coma. Ma was shocked, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he wrote: "Why did you fall into a coma? Could it be that the Dongying natives have any witchcraft? Can it be given to the general? ”

Liu Tong wondered how her face changed color at first, but when she saw that word, she smiled and said, "Xiangzhu thinks too much." He must not have dared to fight us, so he found an excuse to slip away. He wants to be the master of the Dongying natives, and he wants to educate these natives, but he is to help the Dongying people. Even if the Dongying people have witches, how can they make it happen to him? ”

Ma Shi was still anxious, and wrote: "His people killed a lot of Dongying people in the past year, and plundered many wealthy families of Dongying City Lord. I was afraid that the people of Dongying would hate him to the bone, so I had to start without a way, and I dragged it until now. The concubine only felt that this matter was strange and uneasy. I beg the prince not to take it to heart, so that people can find out and understand. Horizontal and vertical Chen Guoxiao, it is cheap to explore something. ”

Liu Tong thought for a while: "The beauty is reasonable, but after all, it is weird. He ordered a messenger to return to China, and sent spies to Chen.

When Ma heard that the messenger had left, Fang touched his heart with his hand, and his eyebrows were still anxious. Liu Tong only thought that she was worried that she was being tricked by the Dongying natives, and couldn't help hugging her and said, "Xiangzhu, I know that you are thinking of me wholeheartedly." Ma pursed his lips and smiled, but two tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.

On the other hand, Chen sent King Chen back, and stayed in the field for a day. Everyone was thinking about the journey, and they would be able to arrive in Chenzhou before noon tomorrow, and they were all overjoyed. Heng Zhu made a lot of money, and King Chen couldn't control it. Early the next morning, King Chen woke up! It's just weak. The generals were surprised and delighted, and they all said, "It's really time for the prince to wake up." "The matter has come to this, and it is no longer possible to turn back to Dongying, so I still go back to Chenzhou. When Concubine Hui heard that her son was back, she went to the gate of the house to greet her. At this time, King Chen was already well, and he knelt down and kowtowed with his mother with a smile: "The unfilial son never came back to accompany his mother for the New Year, a big crime!" Where did Concubine Hui still complain about him, she only held him in her arms and wept silently. When I got inside, I couldn't guess the reason when I talked about the inexplicable coma. I invited a doctor to take a look, but I didn't see anything.

Zhou Damei originally stood silently aside, but after seeing that she had nothing to do with herself, she quietly retreated. She returned to her own courtyard, sat down in the house for a while, and said aloud, "Why don't you see me when you come?" ”

Zhou Xiaolan swept in from the window and saluted: "Sister." ”

Zhou Damei said: "You gave Liu Lingsan to the prince." ”

"Yes." Zhou Xiaolan said, "The prince is bent on going his own way and wants to send troops to attack General Feng Tang. His little troops, fire. There wasn't much ammunition left for the gun, and it was obvious that he had hit the stone with an egg. ”

Zhou Damei said: "It has nothing to do with you whether you can send troops or not, win or lose the battle. ”

Zhou Xiaolan said: "Since I am a guard, I only care about the life or death of the prince, and I don't care about anything else." If he wants to die, I will stop him. ”

Zhou Damei said: "With your ability, how can you not protect him in the chaos?" ”

Zhou Xiaolan smiled bitterly: "Sister, haven't you seen Western fire. Guns? I can protect the life of the prince in the rain of guns and arrows. Guns, artillery, pig iron mines, these things are helpless to me. Although the prince and Feng Tang may not die in battle, they may not be able to live. I'm not half sure of it. ”

Zhou Damei sighed: "You have trespassed, where can you manage this matter?" Why not advise each other? ”

"I can't persuade him." Zhou Xiaolan said, "I have never seen the prince. ”

Zhou Damei frowned and said, "I heard that you disappeared in Qiongzhou, what's the matter?" ”

Zhou Xiaolan lowered her head and smiled, "I hid." After a while, he said, "The prince wants to take me into the room." ”

Zhou Damei was stunned for a while, and then said, "That...... There's no way to do it...... That's why you're hiding? Fool, why not discuss it with him. ”

Zhou Xiaolan said softly: "The prince is going to fight in Dongying immediately, and there is no reliable guard beside him. Therefore, I still quietly followed, only protecting his life, and not caring about it. Sister," she said solemnly, "we didn't owe King Chen in the first place, but we just followed Concubine Hui all the way." Now, I have protected him on the battlefield, and even if they are kind to me, they will be repaid. Besides, I can't think of any kindness he has with me. ”

Zhou Damei's face sank: "He is the master." ”

Zhou Xiaolan immediately said: "The Emperor Taishang is the master, and Gonggong Liu is our boss, and the two of them have disappeared without a trace and died." If it is said that the Emperor Taishang originally intended to appoint King Chen as the crown prince, he has not yet established it after all. Bao Qi didn't set him up in the end? King Lu is still the eldest son, and the power of the ministers is not small. Prince Xian Yizhong, who has been the prince for decades, is it not also abolished? ”

Zhou Damei was silent for a moment and asked, "Who taught you these words?" ”

Zhou Xiaolan said: "No one taught me, I thought about it myself." ”

Zhou Damei said: "You were raised by me, I know you won't have such rebellious thoughts." ”

"I didn't have it before. Since King Chen said that he wanted to accept me into the room, there was it. She smiled brightly, "You have to find a reason for yourself, don't you?" My sister knows, I don't look down on King Chen. ”

Zhou Damei was stunned for a long time, and sighed: "I really don't know what you don't look down on King Chen." ”

Zhou Xiaolan thought for a while: "I don't know, I don't look down on him." Could it be that my sister is looking forward to me making him a roommate? ”

Zhou Damei shook her head: "Naturally not, I've been worried about this matter, but he didn't look down on you." I don't want to go to Qiongzhou...... But he is Lord after all. ”

Zhou Xiaolan smiled: "It's not cost-effective for him to accept me into the room." If I had not been abolished, I would have castrated him, even if I had not killed him. If you abolish me, sister, you know, I am very smart, I have a bit of a good look, and I can use poison, and it will not be difficult to kill him to avenge myself. If he kills me, what is he doing with a dead man? Isn't it unlucky? ”

Zhou Damei glanced at her: "What's the hurry?" I won't give you over. ”

Zhou Xiaolan smiled: "It's okay if it doesn't work." ”

Zhou Damei sighed: "Why do you have to be so strong, just don't want to." Just drugging the master is still a big sin. ”

Zhou Xiaolan shook her head and said, "Sister, I don't recognize it." ”

"Don't recognize what?"

"I don't recognize King Chen as the master." Zhou Xiaolan said, "King Chen is just my old master, I just helped him to protect his life." It is not a crime to drug him. ”

Zhou Damei frowned and said: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, just a trivial matter, do you want to betray the Lord?" ”

Zhou Xiaolan said: "Hmm." I won't do any small things. She said solemnly, "My sister doesn't know." Before King Chen sent out his troops, I had been to other places, overheard a lot of words, peeked at many things, and gained a lot of knowledge. And I know what to do next. ”

"What?"

Zhou Xiaolan suddenly laughed, and Zhou Damei felt a little dazzling with her laughter. She blinked, "I'm going to go to two places, take those two places, and plant a tree that I don't have." The tree bears rare and novel fruits, which can be used to make excellent tea. Sister, that tea really tastes good. I will be the lord of the country in the coming day, and I will send you many, many more. She jumped back suddenly and grabbed Zhou Damei's hand, "Why bother, after all, they are sisters." If my sister kills me, she will lose a sister in vain; If I don't kill me, I will kill King Chen out of anger. ”

"You!" Zhou Damei was angry, "I know you are arrogant; I don't want you to go into the prince's backyard. It's all negotiable. You shouldn't have betrayed the Lord! ”

The two of them exchanged hands in the house. Flashing up and down, he never broke a single thing, nor did he kick over the table, chair, or coffee table.

After fighting for a while, Zhou Xiaolan said: "Sister let me go, count me as owing King Chen a favor, how about paying him back in the future?" Zhou Damei didn't answer, and stepped forward to attack two more moves. Zhou Xiaolan smiled, "My sister knows that I learned another poison from the same old man in Dongying. Medicine? Zhou Damei's brows moved. She added, "This is already on King Chen." If my sister lets me go, I'll have someone deliver the antidote tomorrow. If he kills me, he will die. If he does not kill me but traps me, he will still die—he will not be free, he will not live. ”

Zhou Damei sneered: "Who am I? Can a mere trick fool me? ”

Zhou Xiaolan said crisply: "Why don't you try it?" You're betting on King Chen's life. ”

Zhou Damei was stunned. After a long time, he pointed at her and said, "You went out and it was like a different person, could it be that you were hit by something?" King Chen is the master after all, how can the master think about you? He was not to blame for it. ”

"I know." Zhou Xiaolan said, "I didn't blame him." Which son-in-law is not like this? I just don't want to follow him anymore. Poisoning him twice was a last resort. ”

Zhou Damei's face turned dark: "You poisoned him twice?" ”

Zhou Xiaolan said: "The first time he had to collide with Feng Tang, I knew that there was a lot of bad luck, so I had to give him Liu Lingsan; The second time was this morning. I thought that my sister probably wouldn't let me go, so I poisoned him. medicine, so that he can be taken hostage to get out. Sister doesn't have to guess, it's true. Otherwise, why should I come to see you, knowing your nature, and determined to go? Isn't it looking for death? ”

Zhou Damei was stunned for a long time, shook her head sadly and sighed: "I really didn't expect that you would have a day of betraying the Lord." ”

Zhou Xiaolan said with a smile: "The world is changing every day, how can anything be impossible?" The prince will have a kind of Xiangning. Sister, in the coming day, I will be the lord of the two overseas countries, and I will pick up the eldest princess to enjoy the blessings? ”

Zhou Damei looked at her fixedly, looked at half a cup of tea, and finally said, "You go." ”

Zhou Xiaolan said: "Sister, don't worry, I will personally deliver the antidote early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Damei waved her hand and said: "I know you didn't poison King Chen, let's go, let's go, I regret not leaving." ”

Zhou Xiaolan smiled bitterly: "It's really down." I'm not sure my sister will let me go, just in case......" She jumped out of the window and left a sentence far away, "Sister don't worry, I'll send the antidote~~"

Zhou Damei's body moved, but she finally didn't chase out, and then stood dumbfounded like a clay carved wood sculpture, motionless.

Early the next morning, a young man named Huazi came to the south corner gate of Chen Wangfu, saying that there was a letter for Zhou Guard. Zhou Damei took a look, and sure enough, it was her sister's handwriting. "Sister guessed right, I didn't poison King Chen. Medicine, I'm talking nonsense. I know my sister wouldn't dare bet with me. Even if you guess that I'm talking nonsense, you don't dare to gamble with King Chen's life. Yesterday, the little sister sincerely said something quite strange and unusual; My sister was afraid that I would have something unspeakable and dare not startle the snake, so she let me go. Although it is not the younger sister, the elder sister still fell for my bluff. A sentence I overheard somewhere in the old year, I wrote it to my sister: Ambition is like a weed, and someone can take care of it; But when there is no one to take care of one day, it grows boundlessly. The Ming Dynasty general Ma Fangchu was a slave, and the later Zhao Ming Emperor Shi Le was a slave, and they all left their names in history after all. Today, my little sister is determined to go to Nanyang, and she may have to become a big thing in the future, and come to welcome her sister, okay? ”

Zhou Damei read the letter repeatedly for a long time, and sighed in a low voice: "It's not good." ”
