Chapter 146: The Mandarin Duck Lost His Companion, and the Oath Was Empty

Cheng Yu has been scolded as a "nerd" for half his life, and today he finally met a person who was more stupid than himself, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a while.

Su Qingjia has far surpassed the level of "idiot" and is about to reach the realm of "fool".

Hearing Aunt Nian say that he could save Su Qingyuan, he didn't have a second sentence, he could only say "anything".

The consequence of "anything goes" is that Aunt Nian decided to tie him up and bleed.

It is said that it is the kind of witchcraft that will be performed later, and it can bring the dead back to life.

Aunt Nian said that if the person who provided the blood was willing and had a strong desire to resurrect the dead, the chances of success would be much higher.

Cheng Yu thought about it carefully, and remembered that there were many similar passages in the book after accompanying Su Qingyuan to listen to it in the early years.

There are some ways to do this kind of witchcraft, but the criteria for "success" are difficult to define, because in legends, the probability of attracting evil spirits is much higher than the probability of recalling the deceased himself.

Not to mention that there are many examples of being refined into demons, becoming neither human nor ghost, and miserable......

The more Cheng Yu thought about it, the more scared he felt, so he decided to leave.

Of course, Su Qingkite's corpse was to be taken away. As for Su Qingjia - that person is too stupid, no one can save him.

So Cheng Yu quietly slipped out of the crack in the door while Aunt Nian was concocting Su Qingjia.

Of course, he was able to slip away so smoothly not because of how good he was, but because Aunt Nian was quite confident in his witchcraft.

There is a ban on the gate, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to get out.

Cheng Yu rushed into the hall and saw Su Qingyuan who was fastened to the coffin with black chains and wearing mourning clothes.

"Kite ......" Cheng Yu's heart suddenly tightened.

He still couldn't believe that Su Qingyuan was dead, but the truth was in front of him - her breathing and heartbeat had stopped two days ago.

Cheng Yu settled down, forcefully untied the chains, and leaned over to pick up Su Qingyu: "Kite, we can't stay here!" I always felt that Aunt Su didn't have a good heart for you, so I ......"

His voice stopped suddenly.

"Kites?!" Cheng Yu put Su Qingkite down and looked at her dumbfounded.

Su Qingyuan blinked, sat firmly on the lid of the coffin, and said in a dumb voice: "How many days?" ”

Cheng Yu stayed for a long time, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Two days...... Kite, it's been two days! You...... Yes, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? ”

"Yes," Su Qingyuan said dumbfoundedly, "My child hasn't been found yet, why am I willing to die?" ”

"I'll do everything I can to help you find him!" Cheng Yu hurriedly made a statement.

Su Qingyuan smiled "sneering".

Cheng Yu was stunned again.

Su Qingyuan stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes: "Hey! ”

"Are you ......" Cheng Yu's heart was in a mess, and he didn't know where to start.

Su Qingyuan frowned and glanced in the direction of the grass shed, and said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to speak, let's make a long story short - I didn't die, I just used a little secret method, similar to the Turtle Breath Technique." There's no way I can get out of here now, you have to go find help for me right now!" I've already made sure that my child is in Aunt Nian's hands, so I have to catch her this time, and I can't afford to miss the slightest! ”

Hearing what was going on, Cheng Yu immediately calmed down.

However, Su Qingkite's idea, he did not agree: "You can't stay here, it's too dangerous!" You don't know, Aunt Su has captured the second brother and is bleeding him, what kind of spell do you want to use to bring you back to life......"

After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Su Qingyuan immediately reached out and grabbed his wrist: "She also let your blood out?" ”

"I kicked it over. I always feel that that kind of spell may not be good for you......" Cheng Yu explained busily.

Su Qingyuan immediately pulled a handkerchief to wrap his wound, and then took off the silver bracelet on his wrist and put it on him: "Your choice is right." Now listen to me, you have to go! There is a ban at the door, and this bracelet can only take one person out. I'll be fine if I stay here for the time being, you can go and come back quickly to save me from fire and water!" ”

"But you ......" Cheng Yu wanted to say and stopped.

Su Qingyuan pushed him heavily: "Let's go of yours!" Have you forgotten that I'm also a shrine maiden? My talent for witchcraft is much better than that of Aunt Nian, and I won't die if I drink poison, what are you worried about? ”

Cheng Yu heard that she was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it for a while, so he gritted his teeth and turned around and rushed out.

Su Qingyuan slowly lay back on the lid of the coffin, pulled the two black chains back again, and pressed them against his body.

She is confident that she will not suffer too much loss this time, but she has just taken pity on her second brother, and she will have to suffer a lot of flesh and skin.

Su Qingyuan didn't quite understand why the second brother appeared here. If this place is still near Bozhou City, doesn't it mean that the Ironclad Army has come over?

What the current situation is, Su Qingyuan has no way of knowing.

She couldn't control the marches and battles. There are only two people she cares about the most: one is Lu Li, and the other is the child.

For Lu Li, she has already done everything she can.

She had learned a little bit about the witchcraft books she had read a few months ago, and knew that it was the herb of the witch clan. Therefore, when she heard the name of this medicine, she knew that the poisoning was inseparable from Aunt Nian.

She may be at a loss in the face of the poison next to her, but the things of the Wu clan are not to be feared.

In the last few months, she has gradually discovered some of the wonders of that silver bracelet, many of which even Aunt Nian didn't know.

For example, detoxification, spell relief, and the fight against witchcraft that is not in the way.

That day, Su Qingyuan wanted to directly help Lu Li detoxify the poison, but he was afraid that it would stimulate the medicinal properties of another poison, so he could only pretend that he didn't understand anything and completely put Lu Li's life in the hands of the imperial doctors.

As for herself—

Su Qingyuan could have used witchcraft to make the poison invisible, but she didn't.

Anyway, he won't die, at most he will be in a coma for a few days.

In addition to helping Lu Li test drugs, there is a more important reason for making such a choice.

Only by returning to Aunt Nian will she have a chance to know the whereabouts of the child - it is even better to come back as a dead person.

As it turned out, she made the right choice.

During the time when she was "dead", Aunt Nian was defenseless against her, and she dared to say many words to her face.

For example, his hatred and inexplicable feelings for Emperor Zhao, such as her disappointment and nostalgia for Su Yi, such as her hope and anger for Su Qingyuan, such as - that child is indeed alive.

Su Qingyuan got a piece of news from Aunt Nian's chatter that was enough to make her ecstatic: the child had been sent to a place where "the sun and the moon are the same, and the gods and demons coexist".

What could be more exciting?

Su Qingyuan wanted to calm herself down, but when she thought of the child she had never met, and thought that she might be able to get together with the child one day in the future, she couldn't wait to jump up and turn a few times in place!

After it was completely dark, Aunt Nian came.

Su Qingyuan immediately held her breath and began to pretend to be dead.

I only heard the footsteps of Aunt Nian, and "da-da-da" sounded on the ground.

Su Qingyuan estimated that every inch of ground in this room should have left her footprints.

As for what Aunt Nian wanted to do, Su Qingyuan couldn't guess.

All she knew was that the smell of blood was gradually spreading through the room, and it was so irritating that her nose itched and was very uncomfortable.

Aunt Nian began to babble something again, but this time it was not about some old thing, but as if she was reciting some kind of old incantation.

In addition to the smell of blood, there was also the smell of spices and the peculiar damp smell of decaying plants and trees.

The light and shadow in front of me shook faster and faster, and I don't know what kind of messy trick it is.

Su Qingyuan gradually got annoyed, and simply stopped caring about Aunt Nian's behavior, and took care of herself.

Who knew that Aunt Nian refused to let her go, and after going around the house for a while, she came to the coffin and unceremoniously untied Su Qingyu's clothes.

Su Qingyuan was touched by her cold fingertips, and immediately snorted.

Aunt Nian was startled, and the bowl in her hand shook violently, almost spilling out.

Su Qingyuan knew that she couldn't hold it anymore, so she simply pushed the chain and sat up: "Yo, what's red in this bowl?" Does my mother want to feed me as a vampire bat? ”

"You...... Are you playing dead? Aunt Nian sank her face.

Su Qingyuan rolled her eyes at her: "Who said I pretended to be dead?" Can't I sleep deeply? ”

Aunt Nian looked at her coldly, her face was very ugly.

Su Qingyuan gathered her clothes and tightened her brows again: "What is this you are wearing for me?" Mourning? Who died? ”

"You." Aunt Nian said coldly.

Su Qingyuan looked at her with a blank expression.

The two confronted each other for a long time, and Aunt Nian suddenly put down the bowl, rushed over and hugged Su Qingyuan: "You dead girl with no conscience...... Scared to death, do you know! ”

Su Qingyuan jumped down from the coffin, looked back at the ghost place where he had been lying all day, felt a little worried, and reluctantly pulled the corners of his lips: "The coffin shop in this poor place is a good craft, I only 'died' for a day, and they finished the coffin?" Yo, this wood is quite strong! ”

"Kite, it's fine that you're okay. - Do you want something to eat? Aunt Nian smiled and was very kind.

Su Qingyuan frowned and looked at the bowl in her hand: "You're not planning to let me drink this, are you?" ”

"How can it?" Aunt Nian hurriedly put the bowl on the table behind her.

But Su Qingkite had already seen it.

It was a bowl of human blood, slimy inside, I don't know if it had some herbs added or something.

In short, Su Qingyuan is very sure that the Wu clan will never have such a "resurrection" technique.

It's possible to raise a puppet, but ......

Even in the Wu Clan, things related to puppets are forbidden!

Su Qingyuan froze, pretending to be dazed, and after a long while, he reluctantly smiled: "You are getting more and more depressed, why is the house this time darker than the last time?" What delicious food can be cooked in this kind of place? I think I'm just going to beg on the streets! ”

Aunt Nian knocked on her head casually and said with a smile: "You have always been particular about the word 'eat'!" I'm going to cook for you, and you're here honestly!" ”

Su Qingyuan happily responded. Watching Aunt Nian walk out, her face immediately darkened.

If her understanding is not wrong, Aunt Nian wants to preserve her "corpse", and even use secret techniques to exorcise it for her own use.

Such intentions are really scary!

After standing at the door for a long time, Su Qingyuan followed her instincts and slowly walked towards the grass shed she had noticed earlier.

***

After a night's rest, the soldiers have recovered their spirits, but the mess on the mountain has not yet had time to clean up.

The traces of the fierce battle of the day and night were shocking: the charred rocks and ashes that stretched over several hills, the corpses that fell on the rocks or hung on the bushes, the spears and blades that were almost rolled into an iron pipe with only the wooden poles left......

The smell of blood and burnt fire filled the sky, and countless vultures gathered from afar, hovering in mid-air with anxious cries.

This is the true portrayal of the battlefield, "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither".

Lu Li used his sword as a staff and slowly walked out of the tent, looking at the flickering fires on the hillside in the distance.

Ning Yuan walked to his side and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the fire has been stabilized and has not affected the people in the village below the mountain." ”

"In the future, you don't have to fight anymore, right?" Lu Li lowered his head and muttered to himself.

Ning Yuan smiled: "No need to fight!" The old thief and his soldiers have disarmed and surrendered, and the kid from Xiliang has also run away with his tail between his legs! At least in 100 years, there will be no more major wars in South Vietnam! ”

Lu Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, looking up and seeing the vultures hovering in mid-air, he had mixed feelings.

Xiao Luzi chased him out with a medicine bowl, and said babblingly: "I dare to go to the battlefield in person as soon as I wake up from poisoning, don't you know what the imperial doctors have become!" If I hadn't been so tired yesterday, how could I be so weak today......"

Lu Li took the medicine bowl and drank it all, frowning: "What are you talking about so much?" Could it be that I'm going to die? ”

Xiao Luzi hurriedly said "bah" to the side twice, and smiled bitterly: "The imperial doctors just haven't put their lives on the job, how can they not cure you?" Doctor Yu said that the residual poison has been cleared, and it only takes a few more days of conditioning to be fine. ”

"It's good if you can't die. I can't bear it...... Qiao'er, you can't let her be a widow. Lu Li smiled.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly lowered his head and bit the corner of his lip desperately.

Lu Li sensed that something was wrong with him, and his heart jumped suddenly: "Xiao Luzi, what about her?" ”

"The slave has already returned to the emperor before, mother, she ...... I went back to the city. Xiao Luzi stiffened his head and said carefully.

Lu Li stared at him tightly and asked in a deep voice, "When did you go back?" How do I get back? Did you persuade her to go back, or did she go back on her own? Who escorted her back to the city? ”

Xiao Luzi was asked this series of questions so that his legs became weak, and he stood trembling for a while, and finally knelt down with a "bang": "Your Majesty, please mourn!" , she's ......"

"Already?" Lu Li's eyes were dark, and he hurriedly reached out to support Ning Yuan's shoulders and stood firm.

Xiao Luzi didn't dare to speak, so Ning Yuan had to explain for him: "I heard that the Queen Mother ...... In order to test the poison for the emperor, the girl Ling has ...... It's already immortal! ”

"Impossible!" Lu Li angrily grabbed Ning Yuan's neck, but found that the other party was wearing hard armor and had no way to start.

So this depression couldn't be vented, and it blocked his chest for a while, and the fishy breath immediately surged in his throat.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly got up to support him and cried: "At that time, the emperor was in danger, and Niangniang drank milk wine to stimulate toxicity in order to verify the guess of the imperial doctor...... Your Majesty, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise how can you be worthy of your mother! ”

Lu Li closed his eyes, held the long sword and tried to stand firm, silent for a long time, like a wood carving.

"Confused thing, why don't you go and call Imperial Doctor Yu quickly!" Xiao Luzi turned around and roared at the soldier next to him.

Imperial Physician Yu came soon, and when he saw Lu Li's appearance, he didn't know where to start for a while.

Lu Li heard the movement, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at him: "You tell me the truth, she...... What the hell is going on? Is she still angry with me, and you join forces with her to make up lies and deceive me? Where the hell has she gone? ”

Imperial Physician Yu knelt down and said gloomily: "Once the poison of the bead grass is activated, it is too late to rescue. Your Majesty, you were finally safe and sound because the poison of Mai Xian Weng restrained the medicinal properties of the Zhu Herb, but Niang Niang was not so lucky. So...... Cheng Shizi has already escorted Niangniang back to the city. ”

"Too late to help?" Lu Li's face is like dead ashes.

Imperial Physician Yu hung his head for a long time, and then explained: "Niangniang seems to have taken too much bead grass for a long time, and the depth of poisoning is not the same as that of the emperor. Therefore, once it is urged, the toxicity also attacks extremely violently......"

"Long-term use? - Brion Pony! Lu Li immediately raised his head, his eyes revealing a fierce light.

"Your Majesty, you have to take care of the dragon's body......" Xiao Luzi hurriedly persuaded him.

Lu Li shouted: "Gather the remaining soldiers to hunt down Bailion Ju with all their might, whether they live or die!" ”

"Your Majesty, there are at least tens of thousands of people around Bai Li Angju...... "Ning Yuan was a little worried.

Lu Li clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "Order the soldiers and civilians along the way, and those who catch the Bailion foal will be sealed immediately!" Those who kill or capture the Xiliang soldiers alive will be rewarded as appropriate! If there is someone who does not report it and connives, the Xiliang dog thief leaves safely, the family official is not a slave! I don't want to see any Xiliang people leave South Vietnam alive, so you should do it immediately, and there must be no mistake! ”

Seeing him speak so harshly, Ning Yuan knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to take the order and leave.

Lu Li exhaled a breath, and the whole person immediately collapsed again. He had to hold on to the flagpole and stand firm, and said astringently: "Su Yi's old thief can't get out of this matter, isn't it?" ”

Xiao Luzi didn't dare not answer, so he had to say cautiously: "The slave doesn't dare to speculate, but ...... Since they are in caluination, there must be some collusion. ”

Lu Li stood stunned for a long time before he said, "Accompany me back to the city." ”

Xiao Luzi had no choice but to agree, and Imperial Physician Yu followed behind, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the poison of Mai Xian Weng is mixed in your diet, but the ministers have checked the eating utensils in the hotel and have not found anything strange. This matter is very important, and the ministers dare not report it. ”

Lu Li was confused, and he didn't take his words to heart.

Xiao Luzi had a little guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it at this time.

For the turmoil that may occur after returning to the city, Xiao Luzi no longer dares to imagine.

Lu Li refused to let Xiao Luzi support him, and walked forward with difficulty with his long sword, only to feel that his feet were getting softer and softer.

He thought that he had come to an end, he thought that so many twists and turns before were in the past—fate had just seen the light of day, and sent him back to the dark hell!

He's dead?

How could she have died?

Lu Li's eyes kept appearing with Su Qingyu's voice and smile: innocent, brutal and eccentric, wise and smart, and stubborn......

Thinking that heaven and man would be separated forever, and that those beautiful ideas for the future had all come to naught, Lu Li was so painful that he couldn't help himself. The joys and sorrows of the past pierced the softness of his heart like a sharp blade.

Lu Li wanted to pretend that he didn't care, but in the end he staggered down in front of the military tent.

The soldiers and doctors in front of the tent immediately became a mess.

It was at this time that Cheng Yu appeared.

When Xiao Luzi saw him, his face turned white with fright: "Cheng Gongzi, why did you come back at this time!" His Majesty...... He doesn't want to see you, so you might as well hide for now! ”

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, his face was a little ugly: "He can't stop seeing me!" The kite is in danger now, and she is waiting for someone to save ......"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Li had already opened his eyes: "What do you mean by 'very dangerous'?" Where is she? Didn't you send her back to the city? ”

Cheng Yu settled down and concisely explained Su Qingyuan's current situation.

Lu Li immediately jumped up: "You mean to say that she is still alive?!" ”

Cheng Yu nodded heavily.

"Thank God......" Xiao Luzi fell to his knees and wiped away his tears.

Several imperial doctors looked at each other, and their brows were twisted more awkwardly than twists.

Imperial Physician Yu frowned and said, "Impossible! The poisonous ...... of the beaded grass"

Lu Li doesn't care what "maybe" or "maybe" is. He immediately grabbed Cheng Yu's hand and said hurriedly: "Take me to find her!" Right away!! ”

Xiao Luzi said worriedly: "But our soldiers are about to set off to arrest the six princes of Xiliang, and the remaining Black Flag soldiers have to guard the prisoners and clean up the battlefield......"

A general proposed, "Do you want to ask the soldiers of Beiyan for help?" ”

Lu Li immediately agreed, but then gritted his teeth and held back, shaking his head with difficulty: "Beiyan came to help, that is their affection for us; At this point, they are exhausted, and we have no reason to bother with saving people. - Let Ning Yuan give up Xiliang for the time being, it's more important to save Ah Kite first! ”

Cheng Yu finally breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard the last sentence.

He was really afraid that Lu Li would take the country too seriously, so he chose to let Su Qingyuan "wait a minute" again.

If that's the case, Cheng Yu feels that there really won't be much he can trust in the future.

Ning Yuan was quickly invited back, but after hearing Lu Li's order, he looked a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, please think twice." It is the duty of soldiers to kill the enemy for the country, but it is ...... to save people."

"You want to resist?" Lu Li's face darkened.

Ning Yuan hurriedly said: "Weichen doesn't dare. It's just that Bai Liangju has our Qiankun map in his hand, if he is allowed to escape back to Xiliang, we may have trouble sleeping in the future! ”
