Chapter Fifty-Six: The Chin Messenger Arrives
Sima Changqing didn't dare to leave Princess Yunyun easily, the soft tendons in his hands were all excited just now, and now he had no talisman, except for the two bottles of poison that Xiao Jiaojiao gave him.
At dusk, the outside was finally cleaned up, and Tan Zhang took several generals to Sima Changqing to resume his life.
They knew that this prince was weak and simple, and could not see blood and killing. Naturally, he would not show the bloody scenes of those interrogations in front of him.
"Your Highness, these assassins were sent by Xiling to rob the princess.
It was our dereliction of duty to put His Royal Highness and the princess in danger. Please punish Your Highness! This time, the attitude of Tan Zhang and others was obviously different from before.
After experiencing the line of life and death just now, Tan Zhang and others finally had a better view of the seventeenth prince. I no longer dare to despise slackness as before.
If it weren't for Sima Changqing's move, the people who participated in the battle just now knew very well in their hearts that the opponent's kung fu was above them, and they would not have been able to protect the princess.
What the loss of the princess meant to them, they naturally knew. Sima Changqing is equivalent to saving their lives.
"Generals don't have to be like this! If it weren't for the concerted efforts of the generals and all the generals just now, how could they stop such a fierce gangster. In the future, we must take strict precautions and no longer take it lightly! ”
Where would Sima Changqing really punish him, he didn't dare to show it even if he was dissatisfied in his heart.
The fact that so many guards had allowed the enemy to succeed so easily, and that they had accurately found the princess under their noses and taken her away showed that they had just been careless.
Everyone answered "yes" and planned to leave. When they reached the door, Sima Changqing stopped Tan Zhang, "General Tan stays!" ”
Tan Zhang was a little surprised, what did the Seventeenth Prince want to do? He was stunned, but it was only a flash of genius before he turned around and walked back.
"Your Highness, please!"
"You're welcome, General! I'm afraid there will be no shortage of assassins in the future! After all, there are too many people who covet the beauty of the princess. You and I have a great responsibility.
I want to ask the general to help me buy some medicinal herbs, and I want to prepare more medicinal powder for self-defense. ”
Of course, Tan Zhang didn't dare to disobey. What's more, this is exactly what he was worried about, and he immediately took Sima Changqing's prescription to grab the medicine.
Sima Changqing did not care about the injured soldiers, and after handing over the princess to Tan Zhang and others for protection, he joined the ranks of saving people with the medical officer.
Wounded soldiers are naturally lucky to have his healing. He has been passed down by the immortal doctor Lan Xian, and his medical skills are extraordinary.
Under his treatment, many people who would have been left with lifelong disabilities have turned around. The admiration and gratitude of the crowd for him naturally flowed out.
It was not until the time of the lamp that Sima Changqing dragged his tired body back to the room where the princess was.
That night, Sima Changqing stayed in the princess's room on the pretext of protecting the princess. Someone set him a bed outside. He sprinkled the room with the powdered medicine and withdrew from the crowd.
Finally began the world of two people who longed for each other. Happiness, tension, lingering! The list is endless!
............
In the next few days, they did not rush to the road, did a few days of rest in Qingshan City, and planned the rest of the trip.
Sima Changqing also used these days to prepare enough medicines and some necessities for himself to use later.
Due to the fact that Panshan City, which is not far away on the road to return to the dynasty, is preparing for a triennial martial arts conference. Masters from all over the world are in a hurry to rush there.
You don't have to think about it to know how many passers-by are waiting for this world's first beauty. What kind of martial arts conference, I'm afraid that this so-called martial arts conference will turn into a feast.
With these decent generals and soldiers, how can they escape so many conspiracies and tricks, not to mention that they are in the dark and the princess is in the light.
After many discussions, Sima Changqing and Tan Zhang finally decided to divide the troops into two ways, all the way Tan Zhang led a large group of people to disguise themselves to protect the princess into Beijing, and on the other hand, Sima Changqing took a carefully selected twenty masters to dress up in disguise and take the princess to take a small road to detour into Beijing.
Just when they were discussing and preparing to leave, the emperor actually sent his confidant Sikong Tu to greet them with a pair of people, probably because he was worried that Sima Changqing and them would be attacked on the road.
Sima Changqing saw the emperor who fell from the sky and read Sikong Tu back then, and his heart chuckled. This man is insidious and cunning, and he is cunning. If I had known he would come, I should have left sooner. But now that the person has arrived in front of him, even if he is skilled in medicine, there is no way to develop a regret medicine.
The resistance that flashed on Sima Changqing's face naturally did not escape the cunning little fox Sikong Tu. He bowed his hand slightly towards Sima Changqing, "Your Highness the Seventeenth, is this not a welcome general?" He laughed out loud.
This person is highly appreciated by the new monarch, and I don't know how many bad ideas he has made for the current emperor in the matter of the new monarch's accession to the throne, and how many of his flesh and blood relatives have been killed.
Although Sima Changqing was extremely disgusted with him in his heart, he had to put on a gentle smile on his face, "Where did General Situ speak?" Your Highness is so grateful that you can come and greet you in person! ”
Sima Changqing was almost disgusted by his duplicity and vomited.
No way! The originally well-designed plan had to be considered in the long term because of his appearance. This guy doesn't know what to stumble on!
Will he just kill him along the way? Since the emperor's brother doesn't trust him, he is a thorn in the emperor's heart, and Sima Qingtian did this kind of thing of "being attacked" and dying on the road.
Sima Changqing thought about it and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Tan Zhang and the others looked at each other with a detached look, and they didn't have a taste in their hearts. On one side is the seventeenth prince who just saved him, and on the other side is the loyal emperor's cronies. They don't want to offend any of them, it's really hard to be caught in the middle!
Everyone looked at each other for a moment in the lobby of the inn, and the team that had been ready to go had to be suspended because of the sudden appearance of the Sikong Tu.
It was actually sent by the emperor, so naturally he wanted to participate in the later itinerary plan. Sima Changqing has this hatred in his heart! But how? You can only take one step at a time.
Everyone had to sit down again and tell the plan that had been discussed to this Sikong Tu, who had come in the name of the Qincha.
Sure enough, the little fox disagreed with their plan and asked them to follow their normal itinerary, but came up with another idea. Let Sima Changqing lead a pair of centaurs to make way, pretending to be the illusion that they quietly took away Princess Yunyun.
Sima Changqing naturally wouldn't agree, where would he be willing to hand over Princess Yunyun to such a villain. What's more, he still wants to find an opportunity to quietly escape with the princess! Now the trouble is coming! It's still a big hassle!
Sikong Tu seemed to guess that he would not agree, and his long and narrow eyes stared at Sima Changqing with a smile. "Your Highness, is this a reluctant beauty? With His Royal Highness's efforts, I'm afraid there will be no way to protect Princess Yunyun on the road behind! What do you think is wrong with General Ben's plan? ”
Sima Changqing glared at him hatefully, "General Sikong means that His Highness is useless?" Then dare to ask the general that someone should be responsible for the safety of His Highness? ”
Sima Changqing has been cowardly since he was a child, and this Sikong Tu, who is the same age as him and has been in and out of the palace, naturally knows it well. He didn't expect this timid and fearful seventeenth prince to dare to object.
He choked on Sima Changqing's rebuttal. It was already obvious that he didn't take the safety of his prince seriously.
There are still so many generals here, if it is spread out, even if there is the emperor's protection, it will not be good for him.
After all, the emperor has not been on the throne for a long time, and his position is not very stable, not to mention that many people questioned the succession of the throne at the beginning. If it weren't for the ruthlessness of today's saints, I'm afraid that many people would make trouble.
In this way, it is difficult for Sikong Tu. If the troops were divided into two ways, Sima Changqing was attacked and killed in the other way. Then whether the soldiers here will spread this matter, then he will bear the suspicion of protecting the prince. After all, the Seventeenth Prince had already raised objections.
The atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a while, and the entire inn lobby was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
Everyone stared at each other for a while, but Tan Zhang broke the stalemate, "I think it's still like this, it's up to me to take the big army on a detour."
General Sikong and His Royal Highness escorted the princess in the direction of Panshan City. After all, General Sikong came very low-key this time and didn't alarm too many people. If it is mixed in the martial arts sects of Panshan City, it will not be too eye-catching. What do you think? ”
What could be better? Apparently not! This is the Qincha who came to greet Princess Yunyun, and it is naturally impossible not to accompany the princess.
Sima Changqing also nodded helplessly. This time, Sikong Tu was also cooperative, and he didn't insist on objecting.
The discussion had come to an end, but it was past the best time to leave, and it was noon, and the sun was scorching the earth, and the departure had to be delayed for another day. Although the one in the palace is already impatient at this moment, he is looking forward to this first beauty.
Sikong Tu, accompanied by Sima Changqing and Tan Zhang, visited Princess Yunyun.
He questioned Sima Changqing sleeping outside the princess's room, but Tan Zhang's brows furrowed after telling him what had happened on the day they arrived at the inn.
He glanced at Sima Changqing sharply, as if he was the master. No matter how good Sima Changqing is, he can't accept his domineering attitude.
He coughed deliberately, "Since General Sikong has an opinion, why don't you let the general make a bunk in the princess's room tonight, how about protection?" ”
Sikong Tu was almost angry by his words, he obviously moved the bed in, and when he got here, it became a bunk? Why?
He had a heart attack, but looking at so many soldiers around him, everyone held back their laughter, he finally resisted the urge to beat the seventeenth prince to death, got up and went out, and kicked the door hard when he came to the door.
Or how to say that he is unlucky! He is a military general, although his kung fu is not very high, but he will not be injured by a wooden door. It's just that the fight a few days ago has scarred this door, and many places have been cut by swords and broken cuts, and the boss of that fight has long since run away.
So with all his might, he pierced through the thick wooden door, and one of his long legs was so tragically stuck in it, and the sharp wooden thorns pierced his brocade robe and plunged deep into his calf.
Blood gushed out in an instant, and where had he ever suffered such a pain, he immediately screamed in pain.
