It's only been two or three days, and Gu Xiyu seems to be a lot haggard at this moment, her pretty face doesn't have any blood, and her beautiful eyes that were radiant in the past are also dull.

"Shenlang!"

In his attention, Gu Xiyu's eyes were red and swollen and full of concern, and he sat down on the edge of the couch, reached out and stroked his hot forehead, and said in surprise: "It's still feverish." ”

After speaking, his face was full of hesitation and helplessness, and tears gathered in his eyes again, looking like a miserable look of tears.

For people of their time, they may not understand the truth of inflammation, and they also know that ordinary sword injuries may not be terrible, but what is terrible is that the accompanying high fever does not go away, if it is not controlled, the only result is to slowly be tormented by illness until death.

Always sympathetic to her, although Qin Shen felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do, and at this moment, in the face of her sincere concern and pain, he had no intention of thinking about this, and he was moved and relieved at the moment: "It's okay, it will get better after a few days of rest." ”

"How can it be all right?" Gu Xiyu lowered his head and whispered softly and withdrew his palm, and continued: "Shen Lang, as a member of the army, doesn't he know ......?"

Saying that, he felt that this was very ominous, and paused for a moment, and said bitterly: "Why do you want to say something like this to comfort Xiyu." ”

Qin Shen sighed slightly, looked at her and said softly: "Why should I lie to you, I also know a little bit of medical science, and I have made the medicine as picturesque as a prescription, as long as I take it later, I will see you if I want to." ”

"Really?" Gu Xiyu was a little surprised and a little suspicious, and the prime minister suddenly looked sideways, as if he wanted to distinguish whether what he said seemed to be true or false.

Qin Shen nodded in affirmation, and diverted the topic and said, "Gu ......"

As soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt that the other party cared about himself to this extent, so why bother to make people sad in a title, and changed his mouth for a while: "It's a pity-"

"Official!" Rushi stepped in with the medicine bowl in her hand, and she was sad and dismal, and she didn't have any thoughts at Gu Xiyu, and said as she walked: "It's time to take medicine." ”

"Let Xiyu come." Gu Xiyu whispered and stretched out her slender jade hand, without meaning to get out of the way.

Feeling the subtle atmosphere between the three of them for a moment, Qin Shen's groggy head felt a pain even more, and he endured his soreness and weakness, and stood up with his hands while saying with a wry smile: "I haven't reached the moment when I can't move, so I'll do it myself." ”

Ruhua and Gu Xiyu hurriedly helped him to sit down, leaning behind him with a sleeping pillow.

Stretching out his hand to take the medicine bowl handed by Rushi with a gloomy face, Qin Shen gently stirred the still hot decoction with a spoon, and after a while, he inadvertently glanced at Gu Xiyu, who seemed to be a little distracted, and suddenly said softly: "The corpse hanging at the city gate is your masterpiece, right?" ”

Gu Xiyu woke up suddenly, looked at him and said, "Why does Shenlang think like this? ”

Seeing her react like this, Qin Shen was even more sure in his heart, and said with a faint smile: "If it weren't for your deliberate actions, I really can't imagine why the other party, as an embroidered clothes, would abandon his official business in broad daylight and go to the Qinglou to look for flowers and ask willows." ”

Gu Xiyu paused for a moment, and sighed faintly without half a look: "Xiyu knows that she can't hide anything from Shenlang, but as she said that day, no matter whether Shenlang tells Xiyu or not, Xiyu will try her best to help Shenlang." ”

"Thank you!"

Qin Shen said two words lightly and solemnly, and then silently paused, and suddenly said: "Aren't you afraid of angering law enforcement because of this?" ”

Gu Xiyu glanced at him as if he didn't seem to be silent when he heard this, lowered his head and sighed softly: "Most men in the world are attached to Qinglou, and how many people can be as afraid of Qinglou as Shenlang, so what does this have to do with Xiyu?" Will law enforcement still blame Xiyu for this? ”

Qin Shen only nodded unconsciously at her words of implicit resentment, and then thought for a moment without saying a word, and muttered: "Actually, I have always had a doubt, that is, you ......"

As he spoke, he sighed again, "That's it! Anyway, thank you for the last time. ”

"Does Shenlang want to ask why Xiyu is so sure that enforcing the law will be bad for you?" Gu Xiyu looked at him half-spit and half-swallowed, and told the question on his behalf, without waiting for him to say it or not, and then explained: "Actually, this is something that a clear-eyed person can know at a glance, and that day in the car, Shenlang also said that the law enforcement mistakenly regarded you as a suspect, so Xiyu had this guess and judgment." ”

Qin Shen nodded and felt that this explanation was reasonable, but was the contradiction between himself and law enforcement really so obvious?

Puzzled, he seemed to grasp the crux of the problem, and asked rhetorically: "It's just that although I don't know what the intention of the Wang Law Enforcement Sect is to keep an eye on me, but I am not slanting and have a clear conscience, aren't you afraid of self-defeating because of this?" ”

Gu Xiyu was stunned when she heard this, and then lowered her head and said apologetically: "Xiyu was only worried about the difficulty of law enforcement at that time, but she didn't think about it more, you ...... You ......"

said that his eyes were slightly red, and he looked aggrieved and pitiful.

"I'm not blaming you." Seeing this, Qin Shen hurriedly defended, and then persuaded her softly, which made her relieved again.

However, in less than a moment, Gu Xiyu sighed faintly, and said to herself: "It's a pity that Xiyu didn't know anything about this assassination in advance, if it weren't for Shenlang's ability, I'm afraid he would have died at the hands of traitors." ”

Seeing that she was crying with self-blame again, Qin Shen secretly sighed that women were not just made of water, or even water at all, and at the same time, he smiled and said with relief: "How can you know everything in advance?" If so, wouldn't it be a few more powerful than embroidered clothes? Promise! Am I safe and sound now? ”

Gu Xiyu finally smiled lightly when she heard this, and seemed to be no longer worried about this matter.

After that, he sat for another half a moment, watching him drink the medicine, and then he said goodbye reluctantly and a little sadly.

"Humph! Shenlang, Shenlang ......"

Seeing that although there was no trace of the door of the room, he was still staring at the place in a daze, and Rushi suddenly muttered in a dissatisfied voice.

Qin Shen retracted his thoughts, looked at her in surprise and said, "Huh! Didn't Sister Gu call for a long time and a short call for Sister Gu two days ago? Why is he so impatient at this moment? ”

Rushi was in a hurry, and said angrily: "Then how can it be the same?" She ......"

"No! Isn't it just a name? Qin Shen interrupted it, and said with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally: "Everyone can call Shenlang, but the officials can only be called by the two of you, isn't it good?" Then you two will also change your name to Shenlang. ”

"Really?" Rushi was overjoyed, thought about it and glanced at him again, and said disdainfully: "It's still a mile." The servant still seems to be more agreeable to the officials. ”

Qin Shen smiled faintly in his heart and ordered, "Go and summon Cao Jin and the others." ”

"No! My dear! Rushi replied angrily, smiled at him, and pulled Ruhua to go together, but he heard the whispering between the two gradually moving away: "What do you mean by the official?" ”

"Why do officials look so excited every time they hear it? Especially when you have a delicate voice......"

Qin Shen, who was lying on the couch, couldn't help but be dumbfounded, was his heart so obvious?

"How?" Cao Jin seemed to be so impatient forever, and asked as soon as he stepped into the room.

Qin Shen shook his head, thought about it and muttered: "It shouldn't be Lu Fang, maybe it's not Liu Guang, you send someone to secretly find out if Lu Fang has been sending people to take care of Liu Guang in the past few days, if not, then withdraw our people." ”

"Not? Who else would it be? Cao Jin suddenly scratched his head and became suspicious.

Qin Shen sighed without a clue, looked at Qu Han and said, "Brother Qu went yesterday and found something unexpected?" ”

Qu Han shrugged his shoulders and explained, "When I arrived yesterday, the corpses in the forest were long gone, and I don't know if it was Wang Mu's doing, or if there were assassins who came to destroy the traces later. ”

"So?" Cao Jin looked at him in surprise and said worriedly: "If Wang Mu brought it back for inspection, if it belongs to the latter, doesn't that mean that the assassin has a successor?" In this case, isn't the general still in danger? ”

Qu Han nodded with a heavy face.

"That! This! Cao Jin was stunned for a moment, and for a moment he didn't know what to do and looked at Qin Shen: "This, the general ......"

Speechless but not knowing what to say, but the meaning is clear: there has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, how can he prevent thieves every day?

Several people were silently facing each other in distress, Qu Han was about to speak, Qin Shen woke up from his contemplation, and preemptively said, "Actually, I have a question that I have been unable to solve. ”

Saying that, he looked at the puzzled eyes of the previous few people, and said slowly with a bright eye: "Why has there been chaos in the world for several years or even decades, but there is no one in the court who can fight?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Jin was inexplicable when he heard this.

Qu Han pondered for a moment, then looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "Brother Qin, didn't you mean that someone deliberately targeted the military generals of the court, so that there was no one available?" ”

Qin Shen nodded.

In fact, this is also the idea that suddenly popped up after talking with Lu Fang, just as he thought, when he was in the game, many things could not be seen clearly and could not be understood, but when he jumped out of the bureau and looked at these things with the detached eyes of an outsider, he would find something else.

From ancient times to the present, no matter which dynasty or generation, there are always so many well-known generals who will remain in history.

It can be said that only Wang Mang's new dynasty is an exception during this period.

Of course, this may be explained by the fact that the dynasty lasted too short to have a warlord, but this explanation is not reasonable.

is the so-called heroes in troubled times, why does Liu Xiu have 28 generals of Yuntai, but the generals of the new dynasty without exception all led hundreds of thousands of people to defeat tens of thousands of people?

Putting aside the situation of various internal and external factors, in this era of cold weapons, this is almost unimaginable.

Hundreds of thousands of people, in addition to all kinds of auxiliaries and civilians, there are tens of thousands of elites in any case, why is it that in the face of tens of thousands of rabble, they are defeated in one battle, and there is not even a general who can make a little reputation?

In short, he felt that there seemed to be some tricks in it that were not known to outsiders.

Liu Xiu established the Western Han Dynasty, and in just a few years, there were many heroes, but why did the Chang'an court, which should be full of talents, not even be able to take out decent generals, where did they go? Can't they all die?

That's right! Maybe they're all dead!
