Chapter 114: Ox-perched Tiger Childish

When Liu Yan woke up, it was just dawn, and he tried to twist his neck twice, which was numb and painful, was he really drunk and unconscious? He clearly remembered that Chu Shenxia's palm was so urgent and heavy that it knocked him out at once. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The inner supervisor outside the hall hurriedly ran in to wait for him to change his clothes, but Liu Yan put him aside, quickly got dressed, and asked again: "Go and call Chu Shenxia to me." ā€

"Lord Chu?" The inner eunuch asked a little strangely, met Liu Yan's gaze, and hurriedly explained, "Lord Chu should be bedridden at this time, I heard that it is...... Poisoned......"

"What?" Liu Yan looked at him incredulously, the inner supervisor lowered his head to his chest, thinking that he didn't know the inside story, Liu Yan turned around sharply and walked outside the hall.

Before he arrived at Chu Shenxia's residence, he saw him practicing swords in the courtyard, and his anger was like a dragon, where did he look like a poisoned person?

Chu Shenxia heard the footsteps coming in a hurry, and suddenly stopped, couldn't help but stop the movements in his hand, looked sideways, and saw that it was Liu Yan, but he was not in a hurry, but slowly collected the recruitment, and then walked in front of him.

"Did Your Highness sleep well this night?"

Liu Yan looked at him twice, and then smiled: "Just now I heard a little father-in-law say that you were poisoned, where do you look like poisoned, refreshed, even I dare to lie, see how I clean him up when I go back." ā€

"It's not his fault, I was indeed carried into the East Palace last night." Seeing Liu Yan's eyes widen, Chu Shenxia said with a smile, "At that time, everyone thought I was poisoned, but in fact, I also thought so, after the doctor diagnosed and treated me, he told me that I was just drugged, a medicine that paralyzes people's consciousness and muscles, and the effect of the medicine is only six hours, I slept and woke up." ā€

"What's going on? How did you get drugged out of the blue, and where did you go last night? Liu Yan frowned and asked.

Chu Shenxia took the handkerchief on the side, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I'm not in a hurry to say this, but now I really have an urgent matter for His Highness to do." ā€

"What?"

"This is what the emperor expects His Highness to do day and night, and I hope His Highness will tell the emperor. This battle must be fought. Chu Shenxia said with a straight face, and the expression on his face did not mean the slightest joke.

Liu Yan's face immediately sank, he clearly knew that he was against this matter. It can even be said that he wants to oppose and stop this war at all costs, and he is still saying such things lightly.

"Is this what you call urgent? I'm afraid I won't be able to get your wish this time, I have decided to leave for Lu the day after tomorrow, since my father wholeheartedly wants me to lead the troops into battle, I don't believe that I am leaving. Can this war still be waged? ā€

"Your Highness thinks that Your Highness can go? Your Royal Highness should not be a day, the emperor has thousands of ways to leave you, Lu State, His Royal Highness is temporary, even if the emperor suddenly wants to change to a different prince at this time, it is not surprising, where will His Highness go back then? Chu Shenxia shook his head and said.

Liu Yan was speechless by him, his dark eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, and he snorted coldly: "If I really want to go." How could my father keep me? ā€

Chu Shenxia seemed to think that his words were very funny, and said with a wry smile: "Doesn't it be funny that Your Highness said such willful words?" Just go if you want to go? Regardless of the love between your father and son? Do you have to tear your face and fight to the death? ā€

"Fight to the death? Who is fighting to the death? The cow needs to rest, the tiger is still a young child, there is no need to be afraid at all, why bother pouring money and effort! Liu Yanji took two steps and was about to sit on the stone bench on the side, but was stopped by Chu Shenxia with his hand.

Liu Yan looked at Chu Shenxia very puzzled, he was not allowed to sit down, and he was vigilantly observing the surroundings. Finally, he whispered: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go in and talk." ā€

Inconvenient to speak here? Jokes, his own palace, his own courtyard. It was inconvenient to speak, who was mixed in to make him so cautious.

"Are you still the Chu Shenxia I know? As for being so sneaky? When Liu Yan saw him enter the room, he was still uneasy to observe the situation outside through the window.

Chu Shenxia planned to put aside this topic, and continued: "I hope that Your Highness will go down to ask for battle, and it is Beiyan who is fighting." And not Liang Guo. ā€

"Beiyan? Are you worried that the Liang State will not be easy to attack, and when the Northern Wei Dynasty will help each other, they will put their own men and horses into it? Liu Yan paced slowly in front of him, thought for a while, and then said to himself, "Beiyan...... Beiyan ...... Indeed, after the fall of the Northern Yan, it was returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, and now it is just an empty shell of the strong outside, which is indeed much weaker than the defense of the Liang State, and the chances of winning this game are also much greater. ā€

Chu Shenxia saw that his eyebrows were furrowed, and he didn't mean to stretch for a minute, and continued: "I understand what His Highness is hesitating, the war continues, the court situation is also turbulent because of this, and the people are in dire straits, but because of this, we must step up the pace of dominating the world, and all the people will return to their hearts, and the world will really tend to be peaceful." ā€

Liu Yan gave him a very strange look, and for the first time refuted his suggestion from beginning to end, it was also the first time that he was so disappointed in him so far.

"In your hearts, do you just want to know how to capture a city with the least casualties, and how to dominate Kyushu in the shortest possible time?"

"Even if Kyushu is unified, Shen Xia, I dare to guarantee that it will not be long before rebel armies from all over the country will spring up like mushrooms, because the war has forced the people to have no way to live. If the treasury is lost, taxes will be raised, and if the army is lost, the people will be forced to join the army. ā€

"Why don't you stop and take a break, make yourself strong first, and then fight for what you want? I'm not merciful, but I really don't feel the need to pay an irreparable price for the sake of a momentary impulse. ā€

Chu Shenxia saw that he was red-faced, passionate and generous, and he never interrupted him, but one of the points he said was that it reached Chu Shenxia's heart, and if he wanted to hurry, he couldn't reach it.

Yes, he tried his best, just thinking about helping Liu Yan ascend to the throne as soon as possible and dominate the world as soon as possible, until now he suddenly realized that he was too eager to make a big mess, and yesterday's incident is the best proof, if he wasn't in a hurry, how could he fall into the trap of others?

After pondering for a moment, Chu Shenxia raised his eyes to Liu Yan's eyes and said what he thought in his heart, "Your Highness may be right when she says it, but if we stop to rest, will he rest with us?" If you don't offend people, people will come to offend you, so it's better to turn passivity into initiative, attack them unprepared, and take them in one fell swoop. ā€

"All right? If you think I'm right, why do you stick to your game? As I said earlier, the ox should also rest, and the tiger is still young, so why be afraid? Liu Yan said a little impatiently, and without waiting for Chu Shenxia to answer, he was about to leave as soon as he pushed the door.

Chu Shenxia saw that he was so angry that he pushed the door and was about to leave, so he naturally didn't plan to stop him, and was about to sit down on the edge of the table, when he suddenly heard him pause and say in a deep voice: "Do you suspect that Lu Zhi is a traitor?" You don't have to hide it from me, just do what you want to do, if there's anything you can help with, just let me know. ā€

A dancing girl died last night, but today it has spread all over Jiankang, originally this kind of thing would not become a topic of conversation after drinking, but Qi Bi reacted violently, and ran to the Sixing Temple to ask the chief secretary Chen Que to try the case in person.

There are some rumors circulating everywhere, one of which is the most popular, saying that the military department Shangshu is disrespectful to the old man and fell in love with the dancer in the wine shop, but the dancer was assassinated, Qi Bi's heart was painful, and he vowed to kill the dancer with a thousand knives.

There is also a saying that Qi Bi thief shouted to catch the thief, the dancer thought he was old and didn't want to marry him, Qi Bi couldn't get the dancer's heart, so he killed her, in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, so he made a look of asking for the dancer's life in front of everyone.

It's just that among so many rumors, no one has ever thought that the dancing girl would be Qi Bi's illegitimate daughter, and Qi Bi didn't mention it to the outside world, only single-mindedly looking for the killer.

After the investigation of the corpse, the people of the Si Xing Temple found that Xuan'e was killed by a knife, there was no fight before death, no scars, and a hideous facial expression, which is enough to show that the killer's martial arts are extremely high, and he can appear in front of her calmly, and he can kill her with just one move.

Chen Que was suspicious because of this, suspecting that it was Qi Bi thief shouting to catch the thief, he always carried weapons when he went out, and he was also the easiest person to get close to Xuan'e. What's more, nothing can come out of nowhere, since it is rumored that he can't courtship and kill, there must be a reason.

So, Chen Que turned to investigate Qi Bi's recent movements and found that he had been going to the ancestral hall recently, and according to the Qi elders, Qi Bi wanted to add someone to the genealogy.

Chen Que suddenly thought that Qi Bi wanted to marry Xuan'e, since it was written into the family tree, it was impossible to be a concubine, if Qi Bi really planned to continue the string, according to his temper, Xuan'e refused, and it was very likely that he would kill people in a fit of anger.

When Chen Que took people to Qi Bi's mansion, Qi Bi was angry at that time, but he said a few words, like a fish in his throat, he couldn't say why, and he still refused to publicize the matter of his illegitimate daughter, and in the end he could only let Chen Que investigate.

Coincidentally, Qi Bi was investigated for half an hour, and Xuan'e's biological mother appeared out of thin air, even crying and kowtowing, and explained the ins and outs of the future in front of everyone.

It turned out that after Qi Bi's wife died of illness in the early years, he was depressed in his heart, and often went to the general Pei Fangming to drink, Pei Fangming had just returned from the war, and there were many military prostitutes in the military camp, one of them was called Yun'er, who was very similar to his deceased wife, and Qi Bi turned all his thoughts about the loss of his wife to Yun'er.

It was only later that Yun'er fled without permission and was almost executed, but Qi Bi interceded and let her go, and she has not been heard from since. It wasn't until these years that Qi Bi stumbled upon the dancing girl in the wine shop who looked very similar to his deceased wife, and after several investigations, he found out that this was actually his and Yun'er's daughter.

Although Xuan'e is a dancing girl, she is a lotus flower that is not stained by mud, she is not only the best in dancing skills, but even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are few people can match, and what is more valuable is that her knowledge of military affairs is far higher than that of ordinary men.

In the end, there was such a farce, although Qi Bi was finally cleared of suspicion, but since then, the rumors in the market are afraid that they are powerless.

On the grounds of old age, he petitioned the old man to return to his hometown, and the sincerity of his request and the resoluteness of his tone made the emperor unable to refuse, and he still agreed.
