157, disfigured, commendable ambition
In Lingzhou City, the plaque of the General's Mansion, which had just been hung for less than two months, was taken off again and re-hung with the plaque of the Lingzhou Mansion. It's just that the former master of this mansion is still a prisoner. In the lobby, Shan Xin knelt on the ground with a wolf in his body, and when he saw Xiao Qianye on the seat, his face suddenly showed ecstasy, Your Highness! His Royal Highness the King of Yuejun, help.
originally thought that he was dead, but the moment he saw Xiao Qianye, he felt bright, and Shan Xin couldn't help but shout loudly.
Xiao Qianye sat in the lobby, looking at Shan Xin's wolf bèi and frowning. As for how to deal with Shan Xin, Xiao Qianye was still a little embarrassed in his heart. If Shan Xin was killed by the rebels before, he could still ask for a favor to let him be buried. Even if he was killed by Nangong Mo or Wei Junmo, he had nothing to say, and it could be regarded as just solving a big problem for him. But now that Shan Xin is still alive, it will be a big trouble for him.
Yu Gong, Shan Xin is naturally difficult to atone for his sins, Xiao Qianye is really brainless and knows that Shan Xin deserves to die. But for selfishness, Shan Xin is indeed loyal to him. Shan Xin is greedy, but as long as he is his confidant, he knows that most of the money that Shan Xin is greedy for is still sent to Jinling to him. If he killed Shan Xin so mercilessly, for those who also worked for him and worked for him, it would seem that his master was mean and unkind, and he would not save him when he died.
For a while, Xiao Qianye even had some regrets: Why didn't Shan Xin die?
Nangong Mo sat beside Wei Junmo, leisurely looking at Xiao Qianye's sword eyebrows, of course Shan Xin would not die, if Shan Xin died, how would she see this emperor's eldest grandson in a dilemma? She was also really a little curious, how would Xiao Qianye choose? Open the net or summarily executed?
Your Highness, Your Highness, help. Wechen is loyal to His Majesty and His Royal Highness, and Wechen was framed. Shan Xin cried so much that he had snot and tears, and he no longer had half of the high level of the former readers.
Jiang Congfeng, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward and raised his foot to kick Shan Xin, Master Shan, do you mean that we will frame you?
Shan Xin shrank to the side with some fear, and looked at Xiao Qianye eagerly, the river burst was a natural disaster, and Weichen had done his best. The rebels were originally caused by the inability of the guards to suppress their bullets. Together, the rebels broke and scattered, and surrendered. Even now, there are still a few generals who have aided and abused the rebels in this hall. Your Highness, Weichen is really wronged.
You! Jiang Congfeng was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood. But the eloquence of military generals is not as good as that of civilian officials, and for a while, Jiang Congfeng didn't know where to start. In addition, Zhao Fei's face suddenly turned pale. No matter what the final outcome is, unless they make great achievements, just because they have surrendered to the rebels, their career in the army is already doomed.
Seeing them like this, Shan Xin became a little more confident, begging the emperor's eldest grandson Mingjian, and begging the emperor's eldest grandson to be the master of Weichen.
Xiao Qianye lowered his head and thought about the pros and cons of this, Shan Xin should be damned, he knew, but Shan Xin had made a great contribution to him, if he didn't save it, it would chill the hearts of his subordinates. But if you save the emperor's grandfather, it is not easy to explain there.
If Xiao Qianye was the emperor, Shan Xin would have already fallen to the ground at this time. Unfortunately, he is not. The emperor doesn't need henchmen, but the prince does.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Qianye raised his head and looked at Jiang Congfeng, and asked, "Have you taken refuge in the rebels?" Is what Shan Xin said true? Since he couldn't make a decision for a while, Xiao Qianye decided to put this matter aside for a while.
Zhao Fei and several generals stepped forward and knelt on the ground. Jiang Congfeng frowned and said: Your Highness, although Jiang Qianhu was forced by the situation. What's more, they also reined in the precipice and saved tens of thousands of elite soldiers for us, and they also made a great contribution to conquering Lingzhou City this time. Please also look at them, Your Highness
That's enough! Xiao Qianye interrupted his words with a calm face, and said in a deep voice: The ancients had Yunwen's death advice, and the death of a military battle is the righteousness of a minister, even though Shan Xin is guilty, but in front of the festival, he would rather die than give in. The sarcasm in the words of your generals is self-evident.
Please condemn your highness. Zhao Fei and the others suddenly turned to ashes, and they bowed their heads and confessed their guilt with shame on their faces.
Wait a minute. Nangong Mo suddenly said loudly.
Xiao Qianye frowned slightly, and said: Lord of Star City, this king is asking about the case.
Nangong Mo smiled slightly and said: It is precisely because the king of Yue County is asking about the case that the county lord of this county told the county king some things he knew. Nangong Mo stretched out his hand and took the two folds from Qu Lianxing's hands behind him and said: Here are the testimonies of the rebel generals, the people who were forced to enlist, and the soldiers in the army, they can prove that the actions of these generals were a last resort. Moreover, they really haven't done anything dangerous to the Great Xia Society. Seeing that Xiao Qianye seemed to want to say something, Nangong Mo raised the letter in his hand and said with a smile: In addition, this letter is an excerpt of His Majesty's approval when I submitted it to His Majesty, please look at it from King Yuejun.
Xiao Qianye waved his hand and motioned to the entourage around him to go over and take the fold. As soon as he looked at the two folds, the folds of the evidence of the letters were just that, but when he saw the excerpts of the emperor's personal approval, Xiao Qianye's face suddenly became unpleasant. Raising his eyes and looking at Nangong Modao: Since the county lord has the excerpt approved by the emperor's father, why didn't he take it out earlier?
Nangong Modao: Your Majesty has a will, if there is nothing wrong with King Yuejun's actions, neither I nor the prince can interfere.
So, do you think I'm doing something wrong? Or is it just waiting for me to be inappropriate for you to watch the show?
Xiao Qianye was full of depression, but unfortunately he couldn't go to Nangong Mofa. So he had to attack Shan Xin, and said coldly: Shan Xin was corrupt and derelict in his duties, so that the river burst its embankment, and the rebels rose everywhere, and his name was not good. If the crime is punished, he will be immediately released and escorted back to Beijing, and he will be dealt with by His Majesty.
Your Highness? Shan Xin was so frightened that he trembled on the spot, lying on the ground and unable to move. Was sent to the capital to wait for His Majesty? That's definitely worse than being beheaded on the spot.
Seeing that Shan Xin's whole person trembled like a sieve, as if he wanted to die on the spot, Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and had to sigh in his heart the psychological shadow caused by His Majesty the Emperor to these officials.
In the backyard of the mansion, the prince of Changfeng was leisurely drinking tea, stretching out towards the warm winter day in the sky, as if he hadn't been so leisurely for a long time. In fact, it is not long, but the situation in Lingzhou is too chaotic, and after watching it for a long time, it is inevitable that people feel that they are in a troubled world from time to time. On the other side, Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo were playing against each other, and Qu Lianxing stood behind Nangong Mo and handed tea and water to the two. Lin Changfeng looked at the two of them and felt a little lonely, I said two, you just let Xiao Qianye show his skills in Lingzhou? Now that Xiao Qianye's reputation outside is good, I guess those people in Lingzhou are afraid that they only remember the king of Yuejun, and they don't remember that it was Wei Shizi who put down the chaos for them, right?
These days, Xiao Qianye took the group of people he brought with him to run around to help and settle the victims, for these Lingzhou people who may freeze to death and starve to death, they are naturally like Bodhisattvas descending to earth. These people don't know that Lingzhou has become what it is today, and Xiao Qianye doesn't know how much responsibility to take it. Lingzhou is located in a rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is poorer than other places, I don't know how much money Shan Xin collected, and Xiao Qianye enjoyed it?
Nangong Mo fell and said with a faint smile: "Changfeng Gongzi, fortunately, you did not enter the court as an official."
What do you mean? Lin Changfeng said unhappily, although he didn't like to be an official in the court and intrigue with those old scholars all day long, but Miss Mo clearly looked down on him when she said this.
Nangong Mo said with a smile: The most taboo thing in the court is not that you are incompetent, nor that you are too capable, but that you will not look at the face of your boss. Emperor Xià clearly asked the king of Yuejun to make a reputation and make credit, you want to dismantle his platform, will your majesty be happy? Let's be so relaxed now, everything is left to Xiao Qianye to worry about, we just need to watch him not make a big mistake. When he returned to the capital, would His Majesty not accept this love? What's more, Jun Mo has been promoted several levels in a row for half a year, even if he grabs all the credit, how do you want to seal it? Finally, what do you want to have such a high reputation among the people as a military general?
Lin Changfeng blinked, it turns out that there are so many exquisiteness?
Wei Junmo raised his head to look at Nangong Mo, stretched out his hand and rubbed her cheek, obviously agreeing with Nangong Mo's words.
Lin Changfeng shrugged and said, "Okay, since you all have no opinion, of course I have no opinion." But why do I think Xiao Qianye is so unreliable?
Nangong Modao: Actually, King Yuejun is not bad in terms of ability or talent. He's so bad that he's just afraid of his character. Coupled with the current situation in the Prince's Mansion, it is inevitable that there will be some self-chaos. Lin Changfeng touched his chin, looked at Wei Junmo and asked: If you were Xiao Qianye, what would you do about Shan Xin?
Wei Junmo said indifferently: Kill and decide.
Lin Changfeng nodded with satisfaction and said: It turns out that my son's brain is still better than most people. Facing Xiao Qianye, he suddenly had a strong sense of superiority in IQ.
Lin Changfeng really didn't understand the significance of Xiao Qianye sending Shan Xin back to the capital to await trial. Of course, Xiao Qianye's approach is normal, reasonable and legal according to the long reason. But is it now a common afterthought? Shan Xin is a character who almost caused a civil uprising, and it is a sin for this kind of person to keep him hot for a day. Don't look at the calm in Lingzhou City now, and in other small places with horns and corners, maybe there are still many rebel bandits and Jiang Yang thieves hiding from them. And just after such a rebellion, the people are panicking. Normal people's thinking is not that they should not say a word first, and only then do they say it. The first is to give an explanation to the people of Lingzhou, and the second is to deter those with bad intentions. Even if it's just to show your iron wrist and make an example of the monkey? In the past few days, Xiao Qianye has done a good job, yes, but he has encountered a lot of things. If he had shown his knife at the beginning, most of the trouble would have been avoided.
Next to him, Qu Lianxing understood Xiao Qianye's thoughts a little, and said with a light smile: Young Master Lin, the emperor's eldest grandson may not know what to do is the best. But when he stretched out in that position, he inevitably wanted to think too much, so he seemed indecisive. For example, slaves, I am naturally not afraid of anything, and if something really happens, it will be a death. But if I have both parents and relatives, a family with a lot of property, and even a husband and children, then it is inevitable that I will be afraid and hold back.
Lin Changfeng was thoughtful, what Miss Qu said seemed to be a little bit in the end.
Wei Junmo casually threw the flag into the chess box and said indifferently: Xiao Qianye is not an ordinary person.
It is understandable that ordinary people have such thoughts, but it is not a good thing that Xiao Qianye, as the eldest grandson of the emperor, still has the weakness of ordinary people. An indecisive person, no matter how smart he is, is not suitable for the position of the Ninety-Five Emperor when he is talented. The emperor, what he needs most is to kill and decisive, and to be arbitrary.
By the way, I haven't seen the county lord of Shanjia in the past few days. Nangong Mo asked with some curiosity. is also a woman, especially a woman who once coveted Wei Junmo, Nangong Mo will naturally pay more attention to Zhu Chuyu. Qu Lianxing said with a smile: The county lord of Shanjia seems to be unwell, so he stayed in the room to recuperate. In the past two days, the lord of Jin Zhai came to visit, and the lord of Shanjia County did not see him.
Feeling unwell? Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows.
Qu Lianxing thought for a while and said: I heard that the girl next to the county lord of Shanjia seems to have bought medicine to remove scars. Yesterday morning, the slave and maid inadvertently met the county lord of Shanjia in the backyard, and although the county lord of Shanjia turned his face away in time, I seemed to see a scar on her face.
Disfigured? Lin Changfeng said with great interest, who did it? It can't be Jin Hao, right?
Qu Lianxing looked at Lin Changfeng with some puzzlement. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the lord of Jin Zhai has a good impression of the county lord of Shanjia, how could he ruin her appearance?
Lin Changfeng smiled: You don't understand this, do you? Jin Hao really has a deep affection for Zhu Chuyu, but Zhu Chuyu can't say for sure about Jin Hao. Zhu Chuyu couldn't hide his thoughts about Wei Junmo before, and it was only a few months. And Zhu Chuyu and Jin Hao's friendship seems to be not short. If Zhu Chuyu really has affection for Jin Hao, how could he want to marry Wei Junmo. Although the identities of the two are quite different, the Zhu family is not one of those scholarly families, and the family is not so high that Jin Hao can't get in.
Huh, so, you get the idea, right? It must have been Jin Hao who knew that Zhu Chuyu was playing with his feelings, and he kept being angry and disfigured Zhu Chuyu. Disfigurement is such a thing, if it is not done by a woman, then it must be done by a man who hates because of love. Thinking of a scar on the beautiful face of the eldest lady of the Zhu family, Lin couldn't help but secretly rub the joy in his heart. Although it is inevitable to gloat over a disfigured girl, who makes the eldest lady of the Zhu family always look arrogant and look down on mortals? Although Zhu Chuyu concealed it quite well, it is a pity that Changfeng Gongzi's eyesight is even better.
Qu Lianxing looked at Lin Changfeng, but still swallowed back the words that he felt that Changfeng Gongzi's speculation was not very reliable.
Qi Yu Shizi, Shizi Concubine, Shanjia County Lord asked to see outside. Outside the door, the guards came in and said. Nangong Mo said with a smile: Say Cao Cao Cao arrived. Please come in.
Be.
A moment later, Zhu Chuyu walked in with someone, followed by a Jin Hao with a somewhat gloomy face. Zhu Chuyu's face was covered with a light tulle, but through the thin gauze scarf, it could still be seen that there was indeed something wrong with her face.
I have seen the prince of the world, and I have seen the lord of the county. Zhu Chuyu stepped forward to bow to Yingying. Wei Junmo lowered his head and continued to think about the chessboard in front of him, Nangong Mo smiled lightly: The county lord doesn't have to be polite, please sit down. Lord Jinzhai, please be seated.
Thank you, Lord Shire.
The two sat down, and Qu Lianxing cleverly brought tea to the two. At the same time, he looked in the direction of Lin Changfeng, didn't the prince of Changfeng say that the county lord of Shanjia was disfigured by the lord of Jin Zhai? It doesn't look like it.
Changfeng Gongzi was slapped in the face on the spot, touched his nose and didn't speak.
After the two drank tea, Nangong Mo asked with a smile: I don't know if the two of you are coming, but what is the matter?
Zhu Chuyu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said: It is indeed something to ask the county lord for help.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and his gaze fell on the veiled face. Zhu Chuyu didn't say much, reached out and pulled the veil off his face, and there was a hideous scar on his originally beautiful and flawless face. The scar was obviously a new injury, perhaps because Zhu Chuyu's medicine was much better. On the right cheek, above the eye, a zigzag scar more than an inch long and winding like a small snake entrenched on that beautiful face, looking conspicuous. If you look closely, you can see that although the scar has healed a lot, it is still uneven and dark black, as if it is covered with tiny pimples. Qu Lianxing just glanced at it, and almost wanted to vomit out, but quickly turned his head away.
Zhu Chuyu obviously felt the same as Qu Lianxing, no, this ugly scar grew on her face, so her feelings were a hundred times deeper than Qu Lianxing. At this time, Zhu Chuyu no longer had the calm and calm of the past, as if he was in control. Instead, he looked at Nangong Mo in fear and pleading, like all ordinary women in the world.
The county lord's medical skills are like gods, and he also asked the county lord to help. Zhu Chuyu was really a little flustered. Needless to say, I know how important appearance is to a woman, and for a woman like Zhu Chuyu, she can't tolerate any imperfections in herself.
Nangong Mo got up and walked to Zhu Chuyu's side, leaning over to check the scars on her face. It's not that she is benevolent, but she is really a little curious about what caused the scars that made Zhu Chuyu come to her in person. Although since she married Wei Junmo, Zhu Chuyu has always been very respectful in front of her. But Nangong Mo knew in his heart that if he could, Zhu Chuyu would never want to come to her.
Looking down and carefully examining the scar on Zhu Chuyu's face, Nangong Mo frowned and asked, "How did this come out?"
Zhu Chuyu was also a little dazed, shook his head and said: It's just that it hurts suddenly, and then she originally thought that Gong Yuchen had made a cut on her face, but when he saw the scar, he knew that it wasn't, just a little light, and it didn't even hurt too much. In such a short period of time, how did Gong Yuchen get such jagged and crooked scars on her face?
Nangong Mo took out a silver needle and stabbed it towards Zhu Chuyu's face.
What are you doing?! Jin Hao, who seemed to be a little distracted next to him, suddenly saw Nangong Mo's silver needle stabbing at Zhu Chuyu, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it. Wei Junmo flicked his fingers slightly, and a chess piece with the sound of wind breaking through the air passed towards Jin Hao's front door. Jin Hao had to retreat into his chair to avoid the chess piece, and the chess piece hit a branch not far behind him, and the branch snapped and snapped.
Nangong Mo raised his head and smiled at Jin Hao: "Lord Jin Zhai, don't worry, I won't hurt the county lord of Shanjia." Even if she wants to do something to Zhu Chuyu, she won't do it in front of Jin Hao now. Jin Hao obviously knew that he had overreacted, and arched his hand: I am rude, and the county lord forgive me.
Nangong Mo smiled indifferently, and the silver needle pierced the scar on Zhu Chuyu's face, does it hurt?
It doesn't hurt. Zhu Chuyu said a little uneasily. The silver needle piercing the face does not hurt, and it is not normal at all.
Nangong Mo pulled out the silver needle, and the originally bright needle tip had turned inky black for some reason.
Everyone was already there, and Lin Changfeng said curiously: Miss Mo, is the county lord of Shanjia poisoned?
Nangong Mo lowered his head and sniffed the tip of the needle, took the white handkerchief sent by Qu Lianxing casually, put the silver needle in the handkerchief, and looked at it carefully.
County Lord, I'm here
Nangong Modao: This is a very rare snake venom. However, this snake venom spreads extremely fast, not to mention that the injury of the county lord of Shanjia is on the face. It doesn't take half an hour to spread to the entire brain and then die. But the county lord of Shanjia only had a scar on his face now, as if someone had locked the toxin in this place.
Zhu Chuyu trembled slightly, and asked: Can the county lord's poison be cured?
Nangong Mo looked at her face and shook his head with some regret. This poison must be in the flesh to survive, and without fresh flesh and blood, it will gradually become ineffective within a day. The scar on the face of the county lord of Shanjia is not actually poisonous now, but because of the erosion of the toxin, the muscles in this place have died. Changfeng, do you remember what the best poison the show fairy uses?
Lin Changfeng knows a lot about the things on the rivers and lakes, and raised his eyebrows and said: It is rumored that Xiushui Fairy likes a poison called Flame Powder the most, and no one knows what the ingredients of this poison are, let alone the antidote. But everyone who is poisoned will become completely black, like a charred corpse burned by fire, hence the name Flame San. Miss Mo, you mean, this kind of poison is in the Lord of Shanjia County?
Nangong Mo nodded and said: Flame Powder should be a medicine refined from a corrosive snake venom. If you were poisoned just now, there might be a way to save it, but now the county lord of Shanjia has no poison at all. Zhu Chuyu just had the piece of meat on his face burned by this poison.
So what to do? Zhu Chuyu asked with a pale face, is it that I want to carry this ugly scar forever? The county lord begged the county lord to help me.
Nangong Mo sighed slightly and said: The county lord's injury is very deep. If it is only superficial, you can also remove the epidermis on the surface, and then combine it with the best muscle-building elixir, although it may not be able to fully recover, but at least it will not be too obvious. But now
How about now?
Now, the county lord's injuries are at least two points under the skin. To remove
Everyone understands that if such a deep injury is removed, Zhu Chuyu's face will be a big hole. I'm afraid it's a hundred times more terrifying than the current appearance, such a deep wound can't grow no matter what muscle-building elixir is. After all, no matter how good the elixir is, it is not an elixir.
Zhu Chuyu couldn't stand it and spread it out in the chair, is there really no way?
Nangong Mo glanced at him with some sympathy, and he could almost guess who did it. With Gong Yuchen's temperament, how could Zhu Chuyu get out of the way if he wanted to kill him? In Gong Yuchen's opinion, I am afraid that it is already the slightest punishment. But this punishment is really terrible in the eyes of the woman.
County Lord, please help me Zhu Chuyu pulled Nangong Mo and begged, I know that I know that Gongzi Xiange is your senior brother, he must have a way, as long as he can cure my face, no matter what kind of price my Zhu family is willing to bear.
Nangong Mo gently pulled away her hand, shook his head and said: Not to mention that I don't know where the senior brother is now, the medical skills of the senior brother of the county lord of Shanjia County are indeed better than mine, but when it comes to poison, the two of us are also within a radius of eight taels. The most important thing is that you are not poisoned, you are late.
If Zhu Chuyu had come to her on the day of his poisoning, maybe there would be a way to think about it, even if Hua Tuo was alive now, it would be impossible to bring back a piece of skin and flesh that had been completely necrotic.
Done? Zhu Chuyu was stunned. When she hurt her face just now, it was just because it was an ordinary injury, as long as she took care of it well, what kind of scar medicine could the Zhu family not find? Even if you leave a little bit behind, it's not too ugly. So she didn't alarm Nangong Mo and the others, but just looked at the doctor in Fuwangshan and prescribed some medicine to treat injuries and scars. But I didn't expect that in the past few days, the color of this scar has become more and more ugly, and when you look closely, you will find that the scar is becoming more and more disgusting, so I hurriedly came to Nangong Mo.
Nangong Mo looked at her wordlessly, Zhu Chuyu was stunned for a while, and then he stood up and forgot about everyone, and stumbled out.
Jin Hao looked at Zhu Chuyu's figure running out, and got up silently and followed.
The courtyard was a little quiet, and after a while, Lin Changfeng sighed and said: Gong Yuchen is really ruthless. When Nangong Mo mentioned snake venom and Xiushui Fairy, Lin Changfeng thought of who was the one who did it. Even if he didn't like Zhu Chuyu, he didn't expect Gong Yuchen to be so desperate. This makes it clear that either Zhu Chuyu has been wearing that hideous black scar all his life, or he will leave a pit on his face that will never be smoothed, so that the whole beautiful face will be deformed together, Zhu Chuyu won't think about it, right?
No. Nangong Mo said lightly: Although appearance is very important to her, a woman like the county lord of Shanjia will not give up on herself because of her appearance.
I didn't expect you to say nice things about her. Lin Changfeng looked at her a little strangely and said, when she knew that Zhu Chuyu coveted Wei Junmo, Miss Nangong didn't mean to save face.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled: What's wrong with this? It's one thing for me to dislike her, it's even more for me to stand against her. However, a woman like Zhu Chuyu, who is smart, determined, and has a clear goal and knows what she wants, is indeed rare in the world. There are not many smart women in this world, who dares to say that they are not smart? As long as they are given opportunities and conditions, they can definitely play to a new level in palace fighting, even Nangong Mo himself may not dare to say that he will definitely be able to win against these women. But these women are destined not to do much, because they are already bound by preconceived patterns of thought. At home from the father, the husband from the son. Even if there are a few ambitious ones occasionally, their eyes are probably on the power of the house, the princess, the princess and even the queen. They only want to compete with women for power, or to gain high positions by conquering men, and they don't even want to conquer the world by conquering men, because this is a big rebellion...... And Zhu Chuyu is the only woman Nangong Mo has ever seen in this world who wants to compete with men. Not to mention the means and capabilities, at least the ambition is commendable.
------Off topic------
Why~ I came back from yesterday and couldn't update. Forgive me~
