Suddenly, the night passed, the sky was already bright, and after this night, Chen Xu also felt that his dizzy head and body were much easier, and even the stinging numbness of the wound was reduced a lot.

When Chen Xu opened his eyes, he found that there were many people in the room, except for a group of maids, the four wives were there, Ying Shiyan stood closest with her daughter in her arms, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying stood in the middle, and Shui stood softly at the end, although her lips were dry and pale, she did not look bad, so Chen Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Husband~~"

"Husband~"

"Hou Ye~"

At the moment when Chen Xu opened his eyes, Ying Shiyan, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying cried and shouted almost at the same time, and a group of maids knelt on the ground and cried like tears in an instant.

"Don't cry, don't cry, don't you see that I'm fine......" Chen Xu endured the sharp pain of the wound and quickly sat up, and after scrambling to comfort him for a while, he couldn't wait to take the baby in Ying Shiyan's arms and said, "Quickly show me my daughter......"

"Husband, be careful of the wound!" Ying Shiyan carefully put the baby in swaddling clothes gently in Chen Xu's arms, and Chen Xu couldn't help but grin and inhale a cool breath under the wound, but looking at the baby with ruddy skin in his arms but only slightly open, Chen Xu seemed to throw the pain in his whole body to Java, and excitedly gently touched the baby's soft cheeks with his fingers and smiled: "Wowhahaha, is this my daughter, why does she look so ugly......"

The room that was crying non-stop suddenly staggered and puffed, and the sound of covering his mouth and laughing and crying was all the same.

"Husband, my daughter is not ugly, but she hasn't grown up yet, it's only been more than a month, and she will definitely be beautiful in a few months!" Ying Shiyan smiled and wiped her tears, obviously dissatisfied with her husband, who said that the daughter she gave birth to was ugly as soon as she met her husband.

What's more, I was expecting to give birth to a son to inherit the title of Marquis of Qinghe, but she gave birth to a daughter, and Ying Shiyan was depressed for more than a month, and she was about to suffer from postpartum depression, holding her daughter in a daze all day long, for fear that Chen Xu would not like it when she came back.

"Good daughter, haha, Ben Hou likes her daughter the most, let her inherit Ben Hou's Marquis of Qinghe in the future and become the first female marquis in the world!" Chen Xu was excited, his fingers touched the baby's face from east to west, and even touched the little nose and mouth, feeling like a novel and fun toy.

"Wow~~"

Finally, this toy was impatient to be touched by Chen Xu, and opened his mouth to let out a crisp cry, which instantly made Chen Xu at a loss, and looked up helplessly at a circle of women, "Why are you crying?" I didn't hit her! ”

"Puff~Puff~"

In the room, there was an instant sound of covering her mouth and laughing, and Ying Shiyan hurriedly picked up her daughter and said to a maid behind her, "You must be hungry, go and call the nurse!" ”

Chen Xu stared at Ying Shiyan's bulging chest and stammered, "For...... Why do you want to invite a nurse! ”

Ying Shiyan instantly blushed and bowed her head, Fan Caiying hurriedly said: "Master Hou, the nurse was arranged by Concubine Yun from the palace, I am afraid that the princess will not have enough milk!" ”

"Well, Concubine Yun arranged it very well, and she really wanted to be fed!" Chen Xu guessed this bad habit of some aristocratic families in a daze, but now he is definitely a noble family, and it is necessary to invite a nurse, and it must be a *** nurse with sufficient milk.

Because of the appearance of his daughter, the sad crying in the room quickly turned into a smile on his face, Chen Xu took several wives by hand and watched them carefully, and found that except for the faces were a little haggard, and the eyes were a little red and swollen, they were all very good, especially Ying Shiyan, whose body was obviously fat, and she was more plump and full than when she left.

"Gentle, you've been running around outside for more than a year, and you've also been poisoned, so you've had a good rest and taken your medicine on time recently!" Chen Xu finally said with a gentle hand holding the water.

"Yes, husband!" The water nodded softly with red circles under her eyes.

Although Chen Xu woke up, his body did not recover, and the toxins in his body were not completely removed, so he teased his daughter, and talked with a few women for a while, coughing a few times, and the arrow wound in his chest began to bleed again, so several women hurriedly left the room with the maid and called the imperial doctor to check and bandage Chen Xu again.

After the bandaging was completed, Chen Xu forcibly got up and wrote two letters, asking Yu Wuya to arrange for the guards to send them out quickly, one was for Jiang Beiting, the county commander of Pei County, and the other was for Jiang Heng, the shou of Huiji County.

……

On the 15th of July, the first emperor who was touring the southeast arrived at Xinye County, which was not far from Wancheng, but just as the emperor was setting up a line to meet the officials and squires of Xinye County, a messenger suddenly galloped from the north on a horse full of sweat.

"Report ~ Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Sanchuan County Guard, two days ago, the Marquis of Qinghe was ambushed by bandits in Hangu Pass and was seriously injured, and the entourage suffered heavy casualties......"

"Bang Dang~"

The teacup in the First Emperor's hand fell to the ground, and after a while, he was furious and overturned the desk and roared: "Who dares to assassinate the Marquis of Qinghe so boldly? ”

"The county guard Li You only sent someone to send this urgent report, the urgent report is here, please take a look at it!" The commander of the forbidden army presented the urgent report from the messenger to the emperor with both hands.

The emergency report is very simple, only a few lines, it is written that Qinghe Hou passed through Hangu Pass, and encountered hundreds of bandits carrying swords, bows and crossbows when passing through Hangu Premeditated ambush, but Qinghe Hou arranged in advance to avoid the ambush, but the accompanying subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and Qinghe Hou was also injured by the assassins hidden among the pedestrians with poisoned arrows, among the dead was Jiang Chuyue, the daughter of Jiang Beiting, the county commander of Pei County, and now Sanchuan County has dispatched soldiers and police to arrest the bandits.

"It's the other way around~~" One glance and ten lines swept the emergency report, Qin Shi Huang was furious, "Someone, pass on my order, quickly go to the Hangu Pass guard and the guard to arrest and put him in prison, spread the word that the world is arresting bandits, all those who are involved in this matter will be arrested, those who disobey the order will be punished as rebellion, and those who resist will be killed!" ”

"喏~~"

"Immediately pull out the camp and set off to return to Xianyang!"

"Your Ministers obey!"

This sudden news not only made Qin Shi Huang furious, but the accompanying officials were even more frightened and panicked.

Qinghe Hou is now like a banner of the Great Qin Empire, not only in the court position is incomparably prominent, in the folk is also extremely respected, this time accompanied the emperor on a parade, everywhere there are countless officials, businessmen and squires to meet the emperor, in the praise of the emperor at the same time at the same time to express the admiration for the Qinghe Marquis, and the ordinary people of the folk for the Qinghe Marquis is even more reverent, many places have built the Taiyi Temple and the shrine of the Qinghe Marquis day and night incense incense continues to worship, the identity of the Qinghe Hou Xianjia disciple has been widely recognized by the people, It is believed that Daqin will be blessed by the Marquis of Qinghe and Taiyi Immortals, and will inevitably prosper.

Therefore, for the sudden assassination of Qinghe Hou, everyone felt incredible, and at the same time, they also felt incomparably frightened and cold in their hearts, for fear that angering Taiyi Immortal Venerable would bring disaster and bad luck to Great Qin.

Even Li Si, who has always been at odds with Chen Xu, was terrified, for fear that this matter would have something to do with him, although he didn't know anything about this matter and he didn't do it, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the people and people above the court would not think like this.

With the issuance of the edict, soon the news of the assassination of the Marquis of Qinghe was reconfirmed by well-informed people, and the entire Central Plains was instantly chaotic.

……

"The bandits are rampant, even the Marquis of Qinghe dares to assassinate, we must not stand idly by, we must write to the emperor to quickly arrest the bandits to avenge the Marquis of Qinghe!"

"Yes, if it weren't for the Marquis of Qinghe, how could we have today's identity and status!"

"It must have been done by the old horseman Li Si......"

"It can't be wrong, Li Si is now suppressed by Hou Ye, so he wants to put Hou Ye to death......"

"Let's go, I'll go to Shangshu Province immediately to ask Feng Xiang for his life!"

"Even if the Hou Ye escapes, Li Si Lao'er will definitely have to pay the price, he will not die, I and other hundreds of disciples will not be able to sleep and eat, once Li Si really succeeds, my hundred disciples will inevitably be suppressed by him again, maybe there will be another idea of burning the Hundred Schools of Justice......"

"Let's go, without further ado, I'll go to Shangshu Province immediately......"

In the Faculty of Letters, thousands of disciples of hundreds of schools who edited and sorted out the history books and scriptures here all gathered in front of the huge stone wall of the Seal Carved Daode Sutra, roaring loudly, and all of them waved their fists and shouted that they wanted to go to Shangshu Province under the boiling of emotion.

"Stop~~ Could it be that you want to rebel!"

As a stern and old voice came, An Yuliang, the vice dean of the Faculty of Arts who hurriedly walked in, couldn't help but yell, and the whole scene instantly fell silent.

"Why did Yuliang Gong say this, now that the emperor is not in Xianyang, we just went to ask Feng Xiang for his life, we can't let Li Si's old thief be so rampant!" A Confucian in a wide-sleeved robe stood up and said excitedly.

"Hmph, the old man has just returned from the Qinghe Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye is afraid that you and others will gather to make trouble, so he specially asked the old man to hurry back and explain that the assassination of the Hou Ye has nothing to do with Li Xiang, you can rest assured that the Hou Ye will deal with the assassin's matter himself, so you must not make trouble!" An Yuliang said loudly with a serious face.

"Ah, it's not Lees, who could it be?"

"Yes, Hou Ye is benevolent and righteous, and he only has a conflict with Li Si, isn't he who he is?"

"Since the Hou Ye said that it is not Li Si, it will definitely not be wrong, I should wait and do things with peace of mind, I heard that the emperor has agreed to print a hundred classics on Mount Tai last time, and this matter must be completed as soon as possible."

"Hmph, what do you know, it must be Li Sifu, it's just that the Hou Ye is worried that we will annoy Li Si......"

"Whether it's true or not, listen to Hou Ye, don't make trouble for Hou Ye, everything will wait until the emperor returns to Xianyang, and the natural truth will be revealed!"

"What I'm saying is, listening to Yulianggong's arrangement, they dispersed, and went back to work!"

The bustling crowd of thousands of people quickly dispersed, leaving only An Yuliang to wipe the sweat on his forehead with a twitch.

Fortunately, when Qinghe Hou woke up, he hurriedly called them to tell them, otherwise Xianyang would definitely be a mess today.

In addition to the Kaiwen Academy, among the Academy of Sciences and the Newspaper Museum, Zhang Cang and Chen Ping are all appeasing a group of subordinates.

Now Qinghe Hou is the backbone of all these officials, once Chen Xu has an accident, they will be lost in an instant, and there will be no such unity and positive situation as it is now.

Chen Xu had just returned to Xianyang yesterday evening, almost at the same time as the First Emperor received an urgent recital for 400 miles from Sanchuan County.

And when he was still on the way back to Xianyang, the news of the assassination of the Marquis of Qinghe in Hangu Pass had spread like a hurricane throughout Xianyang City, whether it was the princes and princes or the common people, they were shocked by this sudden news and almost lost their spirits, so whether there was a grudge or not, almost the entire Xianyang princes and civil and military officials all went straight to the Qinghe Marquis Mansion with gifts to visit.

Although Chen Xu has woken up, he is not in any mood to meet these nobles at the moment, except for Chen Ping'an, Yuliang and others, and then only met with a few important people such as Feng Quji, the right minister, and Qi Tang, the internal history, and other unrelated people are all turned away by the housekeeper and guards, and even Meng Yun and a group of gentlemen have no chance to enter the door, and the gifts brought by everyone are also brought back under the persuasion of the housekeeper, and Chen Xu's time to meet everyone is very short, and the guests hurriedly leave after only saying a few words.

The Qinghe Marquis Mansion was gloomy, and the entire Xianyang was also jumping, Feng Quji urgently summoned the officials of the three provinces and six ministries and the princes to gather in the court to discuss countermeasures, and at the same time successively sent several messengers to report the details of the matter to the paradering emperor with an urgent order flag of 400 miles.

The emperor did not return from the cruise, but this matter was beyond Feng Quji's control.

Although the emotions in the Academy of Arts and the Faculty of Sciences and the newspaper hall were suppressed by Chen Xu's arrangement, more than 100,000 businessmen gathered in Xianyang were excited, and countless people rode horses into a mighty momentum to gather in the square at the entrance of the court hall of Xianyang Palace, and elected more than ten business leaders as representatives, and jointly sent a message to the court to demand the rapid arrest of bandits and assassin leaders, driven by businessmen, hundreds of thousands of Xianyang people also gathered in the square like a tide, and Chen Xu returned to Xianyang less than two hours, The entire square was crowded with people, and countless people waved their fists and shouted to avenge the Marquis of Qinghe.
