Chapter 263: The War is in Turmoil
"Bao, Baoxu, you're awake."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw Shen Baoxu's eyes gradually open, he swallowed his saliva first, and suddenly felt a little panicked in his heart, because he was afraid that what he just said would be heard clearly by Shen Baoxu.
"Uh, Prince."
Shen Baoxu's eyes first became a little misty after seeing His Royal Highness the Prince, and then he was about to get up and salute, but fortunately, Captain Hu reacted quickly enough, and quickly pressed him back, and after turning his head to look at His Royal Highness the Prince, he saw that one of His Royal Highness's hands was also stretched out, and Captain Hu said to Shen Baoxu
"Military Lord, you have just woken up now, it is better to rest, His Royal Highness the Prince, at this time, red tape is still omitted, are you right? His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince nodded again and again
"Yes, Bao Xu, you are in this state, you should lie down and rest, there is no need for these red tapes, as long as you wake up, it is better than everything."
Shen Baoxu laughed miserably, but immediately after, he began to cough one after another, until he coughed up a puddle of blood from his throat, he lay back as if relieved, and then gasped, and after a while, after gradually recovering his breath, he licked his lips and said in a hoarse voice
"I didn't expect that I would be able to pick up a life, but it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
As he said this, Shen Baoxu's eyes looked upward, as if he was talking to himself.
But Shen Xu's reaction after hearing this sentence was different, Shen Xu's brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but ask his brother
"Brother, what do you mean by this, isn't it impossible to turn on that secret technique?"
It seems that Shen Xu has vaguely guessed something, whether he missed something.
For example, the secret technique that his brother used at that time was not the forbidden secret technique in his memory, so the price after using it would be so heavy.
Shen Baoxu smiled miserably and nodded, he sighed and replied helplessly
"Yes, you're right, the secret technique I used at that time was not taught by my family, but by my father, and the reason why my father passed on this secret technique to me was because I was worried that something would go wrong when I was on the front line, ha, now that I think back, when my father passed this secret technique to me, his face was still quite solemn, but fortunately, my father taught me this secret technique, otherwise, I really don't know how to pick up a life from that guy's hands."
What Shen Baoxu said made Shen Xu's face instantly ugly, including Captain Hu and His Royal Highness the Prince, when they heard some of the words in Shen Baoxu's words, their faces instantly became solemn, especially His Royal Highness the Prince, one of his fists was already clenched tightly.
Shen Baoxu's words contained a lot of information that the three of them didn't know, and these messages made the three of them have some further thoughts in their hearts.
The secret technique taught by Shen Zhicui, the prime minister of Dongxun, and judging by what Shen Baoxu said, it should have happened shortly before the war.
And at that time, Shen Xiang was worried that Shen Baoxu would have something wrong on the front line, so he taught him this secret technique.
Now in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he has combined some of the information he has learned before, and he feels more and more that Shen Xiang should also know about this matter, because this is too coincidental.
If it was just a normal war, Shen Baoxu would not be able to use this level of secret art at all, and the reason why Shen Zhicui taught Shen Baoxu this level of secret art.
It was as if he had expected in advance that a powerful assassin would come to assassinate Shen Baoxu, which, this was really too coincidental, just like all these things, Shen Zhicui already knew a lot in advance.
"Father, did he even expect this step in advance?"
Shen Xu gasped, his first reaction after hearing this was not jealousy, because his heart has always regarded Shen Baoxu's significance to the Shen family as more important than his own, so Shen Zhicui taught Shen Baoxu this secret technique that was not taught to him, and there was nothing unreasonable, on the contrary, Shen Xu felt that his father's preparation was really a little precautionary.
"Ahem, yes, thanks to this secret technique taught by my father, otherwise, ahem, that guy, I really don't have the confidence to survive from him."
Shen Baoxu's successive coughing sounds made his body shake with the cough constantly, but seeing his complexion slowly regain its ruddyness, the three of them were a little relieved.
It seems that Shen Baoxu's condition has improved a lot now, just need to lie in bed and recuperate for a while, as for these coughs or something, since they coughed up that puddle of blood, then Shen Baoxu's condition should slowly improve a lot, and now they can be regarded as relieved.
"I, how long have I been in a coma?"
"Military master, you have been in a coma for half a month."
Suddenly the captain wanted to speak and stopped, he lowered his head, in the days when Shen Baoxu was in a coma, he really felt the feeling of having no pillars, and the panic in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that Shen Baoxu's breath in these days had not been disordered, he really didn't know if he would have made some radical reactions.
"It's been half a month."
Shen Baoxu rubbed his head, his head still has some painful feelings, in addition to dizziness, he only feels that his current head is heavy, this feeling, Shen Baoxu now only feels that his whole body is also a little conscious, just like if he moves an arm now, he will drive his body to feel some tearing pain.
Although his father said that he had told himself in advance that the cost of using this secret technique would be ten times the cost of the family secret technique, and it was even enough to threaten his own life, so after Shen Baoxu used this secret technique at that time, he had already meditated on his fate in his heart.
It can be said that when using this secret technique, Shen Baoxu was already going to fight with the will to die.
As a result, it's not bad now, after being in a coma for half a month, I actually picked up a life, which is really a blessing in disguise.
It's good to survive, and Shen Baoxu doesn't have any other requirements.
"By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, were you just discussing the situation of the war on the front line? During the half month that I was in a coma, how did the war on the front line develop? Did anything go wrong? ”
Finished.
His Royal Highness the Prince's expression changed in the blink of an eye after Shen Baoxu asked these questions, he gritted his teeth, looked at Captain Hu and Shen Xu standing next to him, he was panicked now, he didn't know how to reply to Shen Baoxu's question, if he lied and deceived Shen Baoxu, not to mention whether Shen Baoxu would notice it, just this matter alone can't hide Shen Baoxu for how long, it can be said that Shen Baoxu will know about this matter sooner or later, it's just a matter of time, it won't take long, even if he doesn't tell Shen Baoxu, Shen Baoxu will know sooner or later.
But if he told Shen Baoxu about the matter, he really didn't dare to guarantee that Shen Baoxu would not be directly fainted by anger again.
After all, no matter how Shen Baoxu is concerned, he has been in a coma for half a month, and now he finally woke up, in case he fainted again because he knew the truth about the battle on the front line, he really didn't know what to do.
His Royal Highness the other Crown Prince may not know, but about the matter of this war, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows that Shen Baoxu is very concerned about this matter, since Shen Baoxu learned that he will be the commander of the Dongxun army at that time, he directly put down all the things at hand at that time, and arranged the affairs of this expedition in every detail, whether it is all kinds of things or not, he has to go to the heart to arrange, and the reason why he made these things is for?
The reason behind is because of the famous handsome Zhou Dunyi in the south, but the main reason is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a close friend of Shen Baoxu, he knows.
Not for anything else, it's not because Shen Baoxu thinks that his sense of mission this time is the first real foreign war of the Dongxun Empire, and whether the war is won or not is extremely important for the Dongxun Empire to change the meaning of military weakness in the previous impression of the countries.
However, the reality is that not long after Shen Baoxu faced the Nanli army under the command of the famous commander Zhou Dunyi, he was accidentally assassinated, and then fell into a coma for half a month.
On the battlefield, half a month is enough to change the tide of a battle, but Shen Baoxu didn't have any worries before.
Because he knew that this time their Dongxun army dispatched 100,000 forbidden troops, plus some garrisons on the border, their hundreds of thousands of troops, only 30,000 Nanli troops on the opposite side, even if the opponent was the long-famous Nanli marshal Zhou Dunyi, Shen Baoxu still didn't think that this famous marshal's wrist could reverse and change this huge difference in strength and win more with less.
Their Dongxun Empire is not a small fight this time, how could they be beaten by that one to win more with less, and even if the army of their Dongxun Empire has not had any foreign war records over the years, this still can't affect the people of their Dongxun Empire to feel that their country's army will be much weaker than the original Central Plains Coalition Army.
Just kidding, can those small fish and shrimp of the Central Plains Coalition Army be compared to the army of their Dongxun Empire?
They're an empire, they're the Dongxun Empire!
The Dongxun Empire, one of the three major empires on the mainland! How can it be compared with those garbage armies made up by the Central Plains countries?
Do they deserve it? They don't deserve anything to compare with the powerful Dongxun soldiers, because their opponents of the same level as the soldiers of the Dongxun Empire will always only be the soldiers of the Nanli Empire and the iron cavalry of the Beigen Empire, which are also imperial countries, and in addition, even the army of the Xikun Dynasty can only be seen a little bit in the eyes of their Dongxun Empire.
This is not arrogant, this is all because of the belief that has been instilled in the imperial state since childhood, even if he is as humble as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he never thinks that the soldiers of his country will be weak.
"War master, the front-line war is going well, you are still in poor health, you need to recuperate for a while, you still don't worry about the front-line war, what you have to do now is to calm down and recuperate."
Captain Su saw the embarrassment of His Royal Highness the Prince, and quickly reacted, and said this sentence for him before His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Prince, the front-line war, is there any trouble?"
Shen Baoxu's face instantly turned cold, he was not stupid, he had already heard some extraneous sounds from what Captain Hu said, after all, if it was said that the development of the front-line war was really as smooth as Captain Hu said, then he would definitely not just say these words.
In the battle on the front line, something must have gone wrong.
"This, Bao Xu, you better not meddle in this matter, you don't need to bother about this matter now."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gritted his teeth, he has now figured it out, this matter, it is better not to say anything to Shen Baoxu first, and then, wait a few more days, wait for Shen Baoxu's body to be almost raised, and then think about it is better to talk to him about these things.
"Prince, this matter, I need to know, you know, the battle on the front line, I am the supreme commander of Dongxun, these things, I need to know the truth more than anyone else."
Shen Baoxu said this coldly, he is now convinced that the development of the war on the front line is definitely not going well, something must have happened, if he was not sure just now that he just had such an idea, then now, after the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, Shen Baoxu has already determined seven or eight points in his heart.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned, he looked at Captain Hu with some difficulty, and when he saw Captain Hu, he was also a little unsure of what to do at this time, he thought for a while, suppressed his breath, and then exhaled, raised his head and looked at Shen Baoxu with his eyes, licked his lips, and said
"The battle on the front line is indeed not going well, the capital appointed a gentleman to take your place after Bao Xu you fell unconscious, that guy is a complete layman for military strategy, and the information I have now received is that under the leadership of that idiot, our army on the front line has lost at least 50,000 soldiers."
When he said this, His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes were still paying close attention to the changes in Shen Baoxu's complexion, because he was really afraid that Shen Baoxu would suddenly faint.
But Shen Baoxu's reaction did not appear, and after listening to what he said, Shen Baoxu's face was still flat, he just sighed helplessly, and then said calmly
"I know about it."
After Shen Baoxu finished saying this, he rubbed his temples, and he couldn't see any expression fluctuations from his complexion, and then, he smiled mysteriously, and then lowered his eyes, yes, although he didn't faint directly after learning about the front line, but he also felt that his heart was like being pinched with his hand after hearing these words.
"Okay, I'm really a little tired, prince, if it's okay, you can go about your own business."
Shen Baoxu waved his hand, and then put the bedding back on, and his whole body turned over, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking in his heart.
"That's okay, Bao Xu, then you have a good rest, let's go first."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sighed helplessly, and then glanced at Captain Hu and Shen Xu, and after the three of them looked at each other, the three of them turned around and walked out of the room together.
And after that, in this room, only Shen Baoxu was left.
In the whole room, there was only the sound of Shen Baoxu's sighing.
"This matter, it's really as my father said, the war will really encounter this experience, my father, no wonder he was so sad to explain to himself that day, but I don't know, how did my father know this, this kind of thing, since my father knew it in advance, why didn't he come forward to obstruct this war, is it really the same as it was said, the established fate, mortal power cannot be reversed?"
Yes, one of the things that is very strange about Shen Zhicui is that long before Shen Baoxu and them sent troops, Shen Zhicui explained some words to Shen Baoxu Haosheng, and what Shen Zhicui said, that is, about Shen Baoxu leading the troops to go on the expedition this time, he will definitely find a fork, and he should let Shen Baoxu be careful.
Shen Zhicui emphatically said that if he is not careful, maybe, Shen Baoxu may die directly because of this, because ah, the cause and effect of this war is really too big.
Otherwise, Shen Zhicui would not have gone to great lengths to teach Shen Baoxu that extremely expensive secret technique, in order to save Shen Baoxu's life when there was another accident.
