Chapter 35: The Three Princesses

"Ahh

"Run......

The screams were everywhere in the mountains, and the poisonous fog spread to the surrounding area with the autumn wind, and the two battalions of soldiers and horses heard the sound and ran towards this side, without any preparation in advance, and directly crashed into the poisonous fog.

The lock dragon Gu is extremely poisonous, eroding the limbs and hundreds of corpses like ten thousand ants gnawing, even if it is an inhuman personality like Xu Buling, it is not easy to resist hard, let alone the ordinary officers and soldiers in southern Xinjiang.

However, in an instant, wails erupted outside the prison, and the officers and soldiers who were stained with poisonous mist rolled all over the ground and tore their clothes, and even worse, they frantically grabbed the flesh on their faces with their fingernails, and in an instant they became bloody people.

The tragic scene made the officers and soldiers in the rear hurriedly stop, where did they still have the heart to pay attention to whether someone had robbed the prison, and they rushed to escape in all directions.

Not long after the chaos continued, the Praetorian Guards in the capital arrived, identified it as the Lock Dragon Gu, and sealed the scene.

The most people in the rivers and lakes of Nanyue are the masters of using poison, and the imperial court can also deal with it, evacuating the crowd at the downstream, allowing the poisonous fog to spread naturally, and at the same time using various antidote methods to treat the officers and soldiers who have gone crazy.

It's a pity that the lock dragon Gu is too domineering, ordinary people have been killed ten times, and the accompanying military doctors are helpless, so they can only watch more than 100 officers and soldiers tossing and turning on the ground in pain, until their bodies twist and bleed to death. In just half an hour, the poisoned people died in a mess, and the prison was full of messes.

After Chen Ju got the news, he hurried over in a carriage, and when he saw the scene outside the prison, his already solemn face became even more gloomy.

As the grandson of An Guogong, Chen Ju's status in the court is also supported by Zhou Qin, and he naturally knows in his heart that Zhou Qin wants to hunt Xu Buling. These days I am upset, and I also feel that this idea is too risky, if something goes wrong and Xu Buling is not controlled, it is equivalent to giving Da Yue a justifiable reason to go to war.

Moreover, the Hundred Worm Valley is in South Vietnam, and it is also the poison sect that everyone shouts about, and as the successor of South Vietnam, if he is related to the remnants of the Hundred Worm Valley, the consequences will be unimaginable.

After Chen Ju got off the frame, he called the chief officer of the prison who was waiting at the intersection and asked in a cold voice:

"Have you ever caught a thief?"

The chief official is a close confidant of Zhou Qin, the prince of An Guo, and this time he is responsible for covering Sikong Zhi and the others, so he naturally understands what Chen Ju means by asking, he took a step forward and said softly:

"The people of the Hundred Worms Valley have all fled, and a few people have died in the aisle, which has been cleared. The other person was single-handed, strong in martial arts and not afraid of Gu poison, and rushed out, but he couldn't stop him. ”

Chen Ju nodded slightly, turned his eyes to look at the dense Janissaries around him, and ordered:

"The corpses are burned in a centralized manner, and the news is strictly sealed, so as not to let the people in the market know that Sikong Zhi has come to the capital."

The chief officer nodded hurriedly and went down to order the Praetorian Guard.

Thousands of Praetorian Guards surrounded the prison, and a white tent was set up in the open place near the mountain cliff, in which hundreds of corpses were placed, all of them were officers and soldiers who had been killed by the dragon Gu in the lock, and the officials counted the rosters beside them, and set up a fire next to them, ready to burn them on the spot.

Chen Ju stood outside the prison and looked out, before he finished dealing with the scene, there was a slight noise behind him:

"Your Royal Highness, don't ...... it"

"Something so big, I'm going to come over and see what's wrong? I heard that Sikong Zhi came here, how could that ferocious bandit come to the vicinity of the capital? What do the spies of the imperial court do to eat? ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the poisonous fog inside has not dissipated, you must not rush into the ......"

Chen Ju frowned, looked back, but saw that on the official road blocked by the Praetorian Guards, a slender woman led two strong women to forcibly break in.

The woman was less than twenty years old, with no jewels on her body, a simple blue skirt with a white lining, and her waist was tightly bound by a blue placket, on which hung a silver scimitar, with serpentine lines on the scabbard, and the end of the handle was a snake's mouth with green beads, which was extremely exquisite.

The woman's black hair is scattered on her back like a waterfall, and the skirt under her body is split on both sides for the convenience of horseback riding, showing moire boots and close-fitting white trousers, and her thighs are tight and plump, not savage, but full of strength. The overall look is clean and elegant, which makes people feel like a very clean girl at a glance.

The autumn sun sprinkled on the woman's face, it can be seen that the skin is very delicate, and under the willow eyebrows is a pair of peach blossom eyes, which is different from the sharp edge of Xu Buling's peach blossom eyes, as a woman, she should be slightly softer; The eyes are like peach blossoms, the eyelashes are slender, the tails of the eyes are slightly upturned, and the black and white pupils are not distinct, so that the eyes seem to be drunk but not drunk.

Although the eyes are very sultry, the overall temperament of the woman is relatively heroic, holding a long leather whip in her hand, waving it from time to time, making a 'pop-' explosion, whoever dares to stop will make a gesture to hit whom, although it is not really beaten, but this momentum is really scary, the surrounding Praetorian Guards face bitter persuasion, but they dare not stop.

The second prince, Chen Ju, saw the woman who came in, the haze on his face subsided a little, and was replaced by three points of thin anger, walked quickly to the periphery, and reprimanded:

"Sining, who told you to come here?"

Chen Sining, the third princess of South Vietnam, who was holding a long whip, put away the whip and hung it on her waist when she heard the sound, walked to her, and raised her hand to salute:

"Brother Wang."

Although outsiders call Chen Ju 'prince', the monarch of Nanyue did not claim the title of emperor in an upright manner, and Chen Ju's orthodox written title should be 'prince' and 'prince', so Chen Sining is called 'brother Wang' rather than 'brother Huang'.

Chen Sining is Chen Ju's half-sister, her biological mother is the queen Song of Nanyue, and her grandfather is the younger brother of King Dayue Wei.

Twenty years ago, it was the time when Da Yue and South Vietnam had the closest relationship, and in order to get closer to Da Yue, Chen Jin, who had just succeeded to the throne, married the niece of King Wei as the queen, and gave birth to a son and a daughter, the daughter was the third princess Chen Sining.

Chen Sining is the eldest princess of Nanyue Zheng'er Bajing, and Chen Ju was born to a noble concubine, so she can only be regarded as a concubine.

However, Chen Jin has 3,000 beauties in the harem, and Zhou Guifei is the only one who favors her, and the queen Song is too strong from Dayue, and the husband and wife have always been not harmonious. When Queen Song was pregnant with Chen Sining, Zhou Guifei died suddenly, Chen Jin was in a slump, and even named her newborn daughter 'Sining' to commemorate Zhou Guifei. This move also completely annoyed the queen Song, and the two stopped communicating at all.

Later, for some reason, the queen Song and the emperor's eldest son died of a stubborn illness, leaving only the helpless Chen Sining to live in the palace. Chen Jin is drunk all day long, and may have forgotten that he has such a daughter, and the only one who can take care of Chen Sining, except for the grandmother around him, is only Chen Ju, the half-brother.

Now that Chen Ju has become a regent, inheriting the unification is almost a sure thing, there is no difference between a concubine and a concubine, Chen Sining is naturally very in awe of this brother.

Chen Ju's expression was serious, he glanced Chen Sining up and down, and said:

"Knowing that the traitor Situ Zhi is making trouble here, you still run here recklessly, what if something accidentally goes wrong?"

The words are harsh, but they are clearly caring.

Chen Sining has lacked parental care and teaching since she was a child, although she is sensible and knowledgeable, she is a little disobedient in private, which is a headache for Chen's clansmen.

However, in the face of Chen Ju, Chen Sining had a very correct attitude and looked at the corpse covered by the white curtain behind him:

"I had just been hunting in the southern suburbs, and when I heard that something was going on here, I came over to take a look. It is too presumptuous to poison nearly 100 officers and soldiers around the Jingshi, if this Situ Zhi does not catch ......"

Chen Ju moved his body to block Chen Sining's sight, and said unhappily:

"Go back now, just have me here."

Chen Sining paused, hesitated, and said:

"Brother Wang, I'll help you deal with it, you are entangled in government affairs all day long, you don't need to keep an eye on this kind of trivial matter......"

Chen Ju waved his hand: "Go back, don't make trouble." ”

Chen Sining saw that his brother was so resolutely opposed, and knew that the chance of entering was slim. But she came all the way over, and she couldn't go home empty-handed, she thought about it, and simply said frankly:

"Brother Wang, I heard that there were only two waves of villains, in addition to Sikong Zhi, there was also a person with vast magical powers, who flowed directly from the Lock Dragon Gu. The Lock Dragon Gu is pervasive, no matter how high the martial arts are, it can't be prevented, that person must have other secret methods. If you let me go in and have a look, maybe I can figure it out, as long as I have a method of self-defense, in the future, the imperial court will eliminate those evil sects and crooked ways, and there will be no need for so many people to die......"

Chen Ju shook his head secretly, knowing that his sister was jealous and hateful, and hated the gangsters in the rivers and lakes of South Vietnam. These things are not bad, but they are obviously not what a princess should do, even if Chen Ju has nothing to hide, it is impossible to agree, let alone now.

Chen Ju shook his head and looked at the two strong women in the back: "Send Her Royal Highness the princess back to the palace, there have been thieves in the capital recently, and it is not peaceful outside, don't leave the palace for a short time." ”

The strong woman behind her bowed down to receive the order, and raised her hand to signal: "Your Royal Highness Princess, go back to the palace." ”

Chen Sining obviously didn't want to leave, her eyes were staring at the movement inside, and she said with a smile:

"When I came here, I had already put the horse back, and I am here with Brother Wang, so let's go back together later. Brother Wang has been busy with political affairs recently, and we haven't seen each other for a long time......"

Chen Ju shook his head, raised his hand and pointed to the frame in the distance: "Take my frame back, say more than half a word, tomorrow I will say hello to the Zongren Mansion, find you a horse to manage, and talk to you every day." ”

It really works.

Chen Sining choked on his words, knowing that his brother was right, he thought about it, nodded lightly, and turned around and walked to the carriage.

The carriage was parked on the side of the road, and the two horses drove very widely, Chen Sining walked past the wheels, quietly raised his boots, and prepared to kick off the wheels.

It's just that before he had time to move, Chen Ju, who knew her very well, warned:

"If you don't go back to the city before dark, you don't have to go out of the palace in the future, you can find a horse by yourself until you get married."

“……”

Chen Sining toe, forcibly took it back, looked back and smiled, jumped into the carriage a little boringly, and left with his guards.

After Chen Ju saw his sister leave, he shook his head, and his face showed a little sadness. He beckoned the commander of the Praetorian Guard to come over, and after a few words, the poisoned corpses were gathered and burned; The rest of the army scattered into the mountains and forests, searching for traces of the escaped rebels......
