Chapter 258: The Request of the Prince of the West Counties
The Great Elder looked at Qing'er's embarrassed back, shook his head with a smile, and also turned around and walked back.
"Great Elder, why are you doing this?" Under the entanglement in the lawsuit, Si Nan finally called out to the Great Elder.
The Great Elder turned around, his expression puzzled.
"What do you mean by that? I just came over to urge the Sixth Elder to go back and process the newly picked herbs. ”
The Great Elder thought about it for a while, but still explained.
Shangguan Si Nan smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Qing'er's hairy monkey character, when did you see her butt sitting." There is Elder Laoda in this matter. ”
The Great Elder was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What's that, it's just a little more time." Time is tight, so I'll go first. ”
With that, the Great Elder departed.
After the Great Elder left, Shangguan Sinan did not stay in place to inspect, nor did he go to find Qing'er who fled in the wilderness. Instead, he infiltrated the Xijun Palace.
Since the lawsuit Si Nan brought the elders and students of Lingshan Academy to the Xishu Heavenly Capital, he had not seen either the post from the King of Xijun or the King of Witch.
If it weren't for the fact that they had never encountered fault finding fault in the free clinic here, Si Nan really wondered if the King of Xijun and the King of Wuwu were not welcome to him?
If the Witch King doesn't welcome him, then he can find a reason, after all, they have had an unpleasant experience with each other because of the matter of the Great Elder. But shouldn't the king of Xijun not welcome himself? At least he came to relieve disasters and treat the people under his jurisdiction and contribute to his political achievements.
Since he couldn't think of a reason, and he couldn't think of how to deal with tomorrow's fierce battle, Shangguan Sinan still decided to explore the Xijun Mansion first.
The layout of the Xijun Wangfu is not large, and the interior is not very luxurious, which shows that the Xijun King is a low-key and introverted person.
Si Nan was very satisfied with this.
But there are a lot of patrols inside and out, which makes Si Nan's curiosity even greater.
It stands to reason that it is normal for there to be patrols and guards in the palace, but five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry are a bit excessive!
What's more serious is that the more you go to the back house of the palace, the more strict the guards are.
But evading layers of guards and patrols is nothing to Si Nan, who is already a half-immortal.
Since this was the first time that Si Nan had entered the Xijun Wang's Mansion, it took a lot of effort to find the room where the Xijun King was after looking through almost every room.
"You, who are you?" Princess Xijun asked nervously as she struggled to suppress the voice that was about to scream.
Si Nan looked at the terminally ill man on the bed, and asked, "Is he the prince of Xijun?" ”
Princess Xijun nodded and asked again, "You, who are you?" Come over and do what? ”
The unconscious King Xijun felt the strangeness in the room, tried to open his eyes, and finally opened a slit, only to see a man who closed his eyes weakly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm the dean of Lingshan Academy. I haven't received a post from your prince for a few days since I came to Tiandu, so I'm curious to come and take a look. But I didn't expect that your prince would be so seriously ill. ”
Shangguan Si Nan said as he took off the waist card and showed it to Princess Xijun.
Only then did Princess Xijun relax and knelt on the ground with a "bang".
"Dean, please save our prince, our prince is afraid that he will not be able to."
Princess Xijun cried and pleaded.
Shangguan Si Nan stepped forward to help Princess Xijun up and said, "Don't worry, let me take a look first." ”
As he spoke, he sat on the edge of the bed and began to take the pulse of the prince of Xijun.
After a long time, the big palm of the Shangguan Si Nan was attached to the heart of the prince of Xijun, and then he wandered through the eight veins of the strange meridians, and finally pulled the prince of Xijun up and slapped him on the back.
"Gross!"
After the prince of Xijun spit out a mouthful of black blood, he fell back to the bed.
"Dean, how is our prince? Is there any salvation? Princess Xijun asked worriedly.
Shangguan Sinan took out a pill from his arms and put it in the mouth of the prince of Xijun.
"Princess, please rest assured, I forced out most of the poison on his body, and fed him a heart-protecting elixir, so I won't have to worry about my life for the time being. But if you want to recover, you still have to ask Elder Li from our academy to come over and heal. ”
Shangguan Sinan explained.
Princess Xijun said with a desperate face: "Dean, since the natural disaster came and the rain flooded, the prince was anxious to see most of Xishu affected by the disaster. But for some reason, the excerpts sent to Beijing always go and never return. In the end, seeing that there were more and more displaced people, and it was becoming more and more difficult to control, the prince planned to personally ask the emperor to support the capital.
On that day, when the prince was about to leave, the witch king suddenly came to our house. First said that he had a way to control the natural disasters in the entire Xishu and settle all the displaced people, but then the request he put forward made our prince angry. ”
"What requirements?" Shangguan Sinan asked curiously.
Princess Xijun continued: "When the emperor conquered Xishu, he took away the seal that controlled the entire Xishu from the hands of the witch king at that time. Therefore, although the Witch King is still very prestigious in the whole of Xishu, and the common people support him, he still can't really be the king in Xishu.
Therefore, the request that the Witch King made to our prince that day was to let our prince hand over the Xishu seal. How can our prince agree? The witch king and wolf have been ambitious for so many years, how can our prince not know it? It's just that the successive witch kings have been in Xishu for more than a hundred years, and the people here are deeply deceived. ”
Shangguan Si Nan nodded and asked, "So, the Witch King poisoned your prince?" ”
"Yes, after the prince was poisoned, he could no longer go to Beijing. I had to continue to send my henchmen to deliver letters to Beijing. But as the days passed, the prince did not wait for the support of the capital, but the poison on his body became more and more powerful.
Until the prince fell ill in bed and couldn't get up again, the witch king sent someone to monitor our entire Xijun Palace. He also assigned someone to boil medicine for our prince every day, and that thing sounded good and was medicine, but it was actually poison. How could he be kind enough to let our prince live. So our prince didn't take the medicine they sent once. ”
Princess Xijun said as she wiped her tears.
Shangguan Si Nan sighed and said: "The emperor sent Murong Chenhe to bring a large army here, and he will enter the city tomorrow, originally I wanted to discuss this time with your prince." I think you princes should also know that the Witch King will not let the army leave Xishu alive.
Alas, now it seems that I have to figure it out myself. You take good care of your prince, and when the matter is over, I will let Elder Li come and heal your prince. ”
After finishing speaking, Sinan planned to leave.
"Academy, Dean."
At this moment, there was a hoarse cry from the bed.
Shangguan Si Nan turned around and sighed: "Lord Wang, you haven't recovered yet, you should have a good rest." I'm going to figure out what to do outside. ”
The prince of Xijun nodded and said with difficulty: "One, you must let Chen, Chenhe come, come to see me." Save, save Xishu, just rely on, rely on him. ”
Shangguan Si Nan was puzzled, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out of the city to find Chenhe now." Lord, don't worry. ”
With that, Shangguan Sinan left the Xijun Palace.
"Knock Knock"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Princess Xijun wiped her tears, opened the door and opened, it turned out that Fuquan had sent medicine again.
"Come on in. Don't let the wind outside startle the prince. Princess Xijun turned sideways and let Fuquan walk in.
After closing the door, Princess Xijun walked back to the bedside.
"Princess, this is a freshly boiled medicine, hurry up and give it to the prince."
Fuquan put the tray on the table and said.
Princess Xijun picked up the medicine bowl and walked to the potted plant next to it, and said, "Got it, you can wait next to you." ”
Fuquan nodded to the princess of Xijun, walked to the side of the bed and bowed over and said in the ear of the prince of Xijun: "The newcomers all live in the ruined temple, and they don't seem to be homeless. ”
"Again, wait, wait." After spitting out a few words with difficulty, the prince of Xijun closed his eyes.
Fuquan is a child picked up by the prince of Xijun on the side of the road when he first arrived in Xishu, and he stayed in the house because he looked pleasing and was named Fuquan. Fuquan is a grateful person.
At that time, when the entire palace was monitored by the Witch King, all the maids and guards were driven out and replaced by the Witch King's own people. Only Fuquan, who could speak Xishu dialect, tried everything he could and was left behind.
After that, he was pleasing and behaving everywhere, and he did what he liked, and finally won the trust of the head of the guard, Wu Er, and got the job of decocting medicine for the prince of Xijun.
It can be said that the prince of Xijun has been able to live until now, and he has contributed a lot to it.
After Princess Xijun poured the last spoonful of medicine into the potted plant, she said, "Fuquan, you can take it out." ”
"Yes."
Fuquan took the medicine bowl and walked out with the tray.
Princess Xijun looked at the withering potted plants, and couldn't help but clench her fists, her eyes red. But for fear of disturbing the rest of the prince of Xijun, he forced back his tears.
After Shangguan Sinan left the Xijun Palace, he went directly to the military tent camp outside the city.
Murong Chenhe was also startled when he saw someone coming, and his face was full of surprise.
"Dean, why are you here?"
Murong Chenhe welcomed Si Nan into the tent and asked.
Shangguan Si Nan snorted coldly in his heart, tricked my beloved apprentice into leading troops to fight for you, and still didn't allow me to come?
Murong Chenhe saw that Si Nan's face was not very good, and he asked again: "Dean, could it be that something happened in Tiandu City?" ”
Shangguan Si Nan lowered his eyes, hid his thoughts, and said with a serious face: "Yes, if I don't enter the Xijun Wangfu today, I'm afraid that the Xijun prince will die tomorrow." ”
"What? How so? Yes, is it the black hand of the witch king? Murong Chenhe asked in shock.
Shangguan Si Nan nodded and said, "Yes, in order to take away the Xishu seal in the hands of the prince of Xijun." He wanted to be king independently. ”
Murong Chenhe scolded angrily: "He is simply wishful thinking! I'll kill him tomorrow and make him daydream! ”
Shangguan Si Nan raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, the premise is that you can defeat Xuanyuan Xiao." ”
Murong Chenhe asked in disbelief: "Yurun and I have guessed several times before, and we all think that he may abscond to Xishu. Sure enough, he really came to Xishu. Dean, what can you do? None of us can do anything about the samadhi fire in his hands. ”
Shangguan Si Nan shook his head and said, "This samadhi true fire is heavenly fire, and I can't help it." However, the prince of Xijun asked me to bring you a message, and he said that you must go to see him, and said that Xishu will depend on you. ”
Murong Chenhe was puzzled, but he didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and begged with a smile: "Dean, since you can come and go without a trace, why don't you be a good person to the end, and take me to the Xijun Palace." ”
Si Nan scolded angrily in his heart: Bah, shameless, if it weren't for the safety of my disciples, I wouldn't bother to care about these things. Anyway, the precepts of Lingshan Academy are there, and no one can use moral standards to press themselves.
"Dean? You help me once, I swear I won't tell anyone. Otherwise, it will not be a good death. Murong Chenhe was afraid that he would be overwhelmed by the precepts of the academy in the lawsuit, so he hurriedly swore.
Shangguan Si Nan glared at Murong Chenhe and said, "Let's go." ”
