Chapter 728: The Feeling of Being Alive
It's glaring......
This was Xiao Jingxian's first feeling when he opened his eyes in a daze. He instinctively wanted to raise his hand to cover his eyes, but he tried to exert himself, but his arm was so sore that he couldn't even lift his fingers. It was only at this moment that he felt that the whole person was weak and powerless as never before, and with it, a large number of memories instantly came to his mind.
Yes, after he was freed, he was still trapped in the dungeon for many days, because there was no day or night, and he couldn't even tell how long it was. But later, because I could hear the digging and talking faintly from outside, I was gradually able to calculate the day, but I couldn't make a sound, and even tried to delay the progress by all means.
If it weren't for the fact that soon after the excavation, another explosion that he had already designed came as scheduled, successfully delaying the progress of the project, Qi Xuan and the few jailers and guards would not have been confused by their words and killed each other in the extremely dark predicament, once these people shouted for help, the entrance to the dungeon might have opened a lot earlier, and he would undoubtedly fall into the hands of the enemy again.
After all, these people don't die, he can't get the key, it's impossible to untie the shackles around his neck and on his hands and feet.
He just held on to a glimmer of hope, thinking that Yue Qianqiu might try his best to find out whether he was alive or dead, so he relied on the only remaining strength to try to delay again and again, but he really waited until there was only Yue Qianqiu alone. Although the kid had dragged on for too long, it was suspicious to be left alone at first, and he was already very satisfied with the current result.
It's just that kid didn't think about how he survived the dungeon?
Xiao Jing let out a very low sigh first, but immediately after, he heard a knock near him, and immediately after, a familiar figure appeared in front of the bed. I saw Yue Qianqiu covering his head, as if he had just been suddenly awakened by his movement and touched his head, his face was full of anger, and after glancing at him, he directly grabbed his collar.
"Next time if you are still looking for death like this, remember to say it first, I will beat you to death first, so as not to cheapen others!"
Hearing Yue Qianqiu's familiar tone again, Xiao Jingxian couldn't help laughing. However, his throat was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound, so the laughter stuck in his mouth until Yue Qianqiu let go. It's just that the young man lifted his shoulders with a cold face and slowly put him down, who had just been dragged up, and at the same time glared at him viciously.
"You should thank me, if I hadn't had an ally who had the best old ginseng in the world, and if I hadn't found you a good doctor with good medical skills who wouldn't reveal your identity, you would have died a long time ago! Last time I was in Shangjing, too, I was idle and let the assassin stab me twice, but this time I played even crazier, and I wanted to die with others, don't take me with you if you're crazy! β
Seeing Yue Qianqiu put down these words, he angrily brushed his sleeves away, but the door was not closed tightly, and after a while, there was an extremely seductive smell of rice and meat outside, Rao is Xiao Jingxian didn't have any strength, but he still couldn't help but be greedy, but at this time, he found that the mouth that was originally so dry that he didn't feel anything at all, as if there was some kind of aftertaste.
With his tongue moving, he realized that after fainting last night, Yue Qianqiu had probably fed other things like rice soup and broth in addition to feeding himself ginseng soup. Thinking that he left Shangjing after being seriously injured on purpose, and then Yue Qianqiu was busy changing his dressing along the way, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Unconsciously, I really owe this kid a lot. After this gamble, there may not be a next time.
Since he had the experience of being assassinated by his fiancΓ©e in his early years, and after his sister died, he only felt that life was really boring, not only looked down on life and death, but also became more and more obsessed with the thrill of dancing on the blade and being extremely dangerous. However, in the past, although there were subordinates who desperately rescued each other, because of his identity, every time the matter was settled, most of these subordinates did not dare to persuade him to put him in danger, even the Emperor of Northern Yan only understated him for a sentence or two.
Only Yue Qianqiu, who just listened to that stern tone, was afraid that if it weren't for the fact that he was still weak and seriously injured at the moment, that kid would be in a hurry, and the big ear scraper would be hit directly!
Yue Qianqiu, who was boiling porridge outside the door, really had a tiger face, thinking in his heart that after Xiao Jingxian's situation improved, he must give people an unforgettable lesson. Therefore, when Xie Shiyi Ye came in over the wall, what he saw was Yue Qianqiu looking at the fire and whispering words in his mouth.
These days, Xie Shiyi Ye is acting as his daughter's coachman, while secretly protecting Xie Xiaoxiao's safety, and by the way, he is responsible for the contact between Yue Qianqiu and Xie Xiaoxiao, and he also drove the ducks to the shelves last night and acted as a doctor. β
"I can't die." Yue Qianqiu spit out three words, and then asked without looking back, "It's that I didn't go to the left-behind mansion to dig people today, what is the situation over there?" I was about to dig through last night, and it's already afternoon now, so why should I dig through that dungeon? β
"Of course it's impossible to get them through so early." Xie Shiyi Ye smiled, and when he saw Yue Qianqiu immediately looking back at him with some surprise, he said with a smile, "Last night, I quietly slipped into the left-behind mansion and made some moves in that deep pit. So, if there are no surprises, they won't be able to dig through until at least tomorrow. β
Speaking of this, Xie Shiyi looked up at the middle of the house and said in a deep voice: "Does he know what the situation of Qi Xuan and the others left behind in Nanjing is?" β
Yue Qianqiu, who was looking at the small stove, suddenly turned pale. He naturally understands the problem of the survival limit of how many days people can live without eating or drinking. Especially according to Xiao Jingxian, he is still cooperating with the excavation progress to make some ghosts, so the physical strength consumed will be even greater. If you really don't eat or drink, you can't last so long.
Therefore, once the dungeon was dug through, what would happen to Qi Xuan and the others below, he didn't dare to think about it.
He immediately stopped this thought, then lowered his head and said: "He is so weak that he can't even laugh, and I don't want to ask him, thinking that since no one else can stop him from calling for help to me, it means that everyone else is dead." β
"It's worthy of being a demon king." Xie Shiyi sighed with a pun, and then said lightly, "There is news just now, the sixth prince has really taken Yongqing, he has not lost his troops along the way, but has beaten more and more people, and now there are 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, known as 100,000, and he is rushing to Bazhou." It is claimed that he wants to recapture the six seals of the Son of Heaven of Northern Yan and teach Southern Wu a lesson! β
Yue Qianqiu suddenly stood up. He glanced at the room, and then said in a deep voice: "Xie Shiyi, I have something I want to ask you for help." β
There is no need for Yue Qianqiu Ming to say, Xie Shiye also knew what he meant, and immediately took the initiative to pick out on his behalf: "Do you want to entrust King Jin to me?" The problem is not big, although my medical skills are not top-notch, but he is mainly weak at the moment, and he pours liquid food little by little, plus the ginseng soup is hanging, he can go to the ground in ten days and half a month, and after a month, he will keep and return you to a living King of Jin. β
Hearing the words "dragon and tiger", Yue Qianqiu was not only not happy, but his face turned gloomy, and then he said in a fierce tone: "Xie Shiyi Ye doesn't need to be too polite to him, let him lie in bed for a month or two longer!" If I hadn't rushed back to Bazhou now, I would have broken his legs first, so that he would never be able to produce a moth in the future! β
Xie Shiye couldn't help but wonder, is this his anger after being cheated by Xiao Jingxian? Thinking about it this way, he has also roughly touched Yue Qianqiu's temper these days, and he can't help but joke at the moment.
"It's just that you want to pat your ass and leave? You know, last night I rescued the King of Jin, it was because you agreed to my conditions, and I paid you in advance. At the moment, you didn't fulfill your promise, and you left King Jin to me, do the math, in addition to the condition you promised, do you have to help me do one thing? β
Yue Qianqiu really didn't expect that Xie Shiyi Ye was still talking about life just now, but in a blink of an eye, he talked about the conditions with himself, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a while. But at this moment, there was a sudden cough in the room, followed by a voice that was suspected to be Xiao Jingxian. Except for last night's rescue, he had never seen this arrogant and confident guy so low-spirited, so he reflexively entered the house without thinking.
But as soon as he pushed the door and entered the room, he found that Xiao Jingxian, who had no ability to resist his collar before, had already supported and half-sat up at some point, but this guy was half leaning against the bed board and the wall, his face was pale and panting, and he looked like he was dying. Faced with this scene, he couldn't help but scold: "Are you looking for death? At this time, you have to be strong! β
"It's not that you don't know, it's my personality to be stubborn."
After spitting out such a sentence that made Yue Qianqiu more and more annoyed, Xiao Jingxian looked at the middle-aged man behind Yue Qianqiu with slightly frosty temples. Seeing that the posture of the person is like a pine, the eyes are like a falcon, and there seems to be the ultimate strength between the muscles and bones, it is clearly a rare good hand, coupled with the previous title of Yue Qianqiu, he naturally understands who this person is, and he bowed his head slightly.
"It's Xie Shiye from the old Sentang, right? Fortunately. β
"In front of His Royal Highness King Jin, I can't afford to be this master." Xie Shiyi Ye looked very polite, but that kind of politeness was different from the familiarity of him and Yue Qianqiu, with a bit of caution and alienation. After all, Xiao Jingxian used himself as bait this time, which turned the situation upside down suddenly, and while he was secretly impressed, he wanted to stay away from this guy.
Didn't you look at Yue Qianqiu, who was so angry just now that she wanted to break someone's leg?
Xiao Jingxian didn't take Xie Shiyiye's politeness seriously, in fact, he would never be polite to others, so the next moment he said bluntly: "I heard just now that Qianqiu said that he wanted to go back to Bazhou, and wanted to entrust me to Xie Shiyiye, thinking that this Nanjing City was thrown to Miss Xie by the sixth prince to be in charge temporarily, I guessed right?" β
If you can't judge this conclusion from the previous signs, then it is not Xiao Jingxian, so Yue Qianqiu smiled and said, "You guessed correctly." It's just that now you're just a waste person lying on the bed, and it's impossible to do anything you want, so even if you still have any wonderful ideas, give me a rest of that thought first! β
Xie Shiyi Ye heard that Yue Qianqiu directly scolded Xiao Jing for being a wasted person, Rao knew that this big and small did not account for these small sections of words, and he still couldn't help but look sideways. Sure enough, he saw Xiao Jingxian smiling casually, and the expression on his pale face was unusually calm.
"I'm really a waste now, and it's hard to even move, let alone contact the outside world, or even do something in person. However, I still have at least a brain. Even if Nanwu has spared no effort to infiltrate Beiyan over the years, and even enveloped Liaodong heroes like Xie Shiyiye, in comparison, Nanjing and even Beiyan, after all, was once the territory I entrenched, not yours. β
Yue Qianqiu keenly heard Xiao Jingxian's salutation. If Xiao Jingxian thinks that he is from Northern Yan, then it should be Da Yan and Southern Wu; If you think you are from Wu, then it should be Da Wu and Northern Yan. But now Xiao Jingxian is like those people who are not two countries, and he uses a neutral title, what kind of moth does this guy have?
Compared with this, Xiao Jingxian compared Beiyan to his own territory, and he didn't even care about this kind of thing.
And Xie Shiyi Ye noticed that Yue Qianqiu was indeed worried about the signs of chaos, and immediately took the initiative to say: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, please have something to say." Yue Jiu Gongzi is young and vigorous, but I am already past that high-spirited age, so that I don't think I can do anything. β
Seeing that Xie Shiyi quietly reminded Yue Qianqiu to be more restrained, Xiao Jingxian put away his smile. He had just said so many words, which was indeed a big burden for him who had not yet replied, however, he just calmed down his breath and continued to say unhurriedly: "Nanjing Chongdi has now become an empty city, how long do you think this situation can last?" β
Yue Qianqiu's face immediately darkened: "Dare to kill Qi Xuan and let the six princes take away most of the soldiers and horses in Nanjing City, this is not your whole plan, right?" What's next, will Xiao Qingqing's people in the capital city go south directly, or will those people in neighboring states and counties who intend to stand on their own feet plan to occupy this place? Or did you raise your arms and cut off the back road of the Six Princes? β
Everything that could be said was said by Yue Qianqiu, and Xie Shiyi simply took a step back and watched this big and small-for-tat. However, the next sentence that Xiao Jing said first made his heart suddenly sink, and the kind of indifference that watched the excitement disappeared without a trace.
"You also missed one person, Xiao Changjun, the king of Lanling County. You can treat Prince Beiyan and Xiao Twelve as non-existent, but you can't ignore Xiao Changhui. What's more, the seriously injured person behind him, my brother-in-law, the real emperor of Northern Yan. I, a man buried in the ground, can still come back to life, let alone be hit by a mere poisoned arrow? β
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu suddenly beat his forehead with his fist, with an expression of how he forgot that side, Xiao Jingxian said in a deep voice: "To be honest, whether it is Qi Xuan left behind in Nanjing, whether it is the Six Princes, or those soldiers and horses, I don't care so much. I just want to see who will jump out first after the city of Nanjing becomes what it is now. β
Yue Qianqiu's face suddenly became ugly: "What do you mean, I can't go?" β
"You really can't go. If you only think about one Bazhou, what did you do with me in Beiyan in the first place? Xiao Jing saw that Yue Qianqiu was silent for a moment, and he said lightly, "Compared with Bazhou, which is about to burst into flames, the next thing in Nanjing is the main event!" β
