In the night, the bright and bright military camp spreads out on the land like a galaxy.

The two or three fires lit up on the earth are very inconspicuous in front of this galaxy.

Although he said that he didn't want to ride a horse in his life, Wang Xian immediately came to chase after the six princes after Zhulin Ah Tian arrived to explain.

When Wang Xian's bumpy gallop finally caught up, the six princes and their entourage had already returned to the boundaries of the capital, and the summer wind was circling in the dark night, and they could see the young man under the torch at a glance.

He was dressed in black and was indistinguishable from the others, but his gray hair fluttered from his hood from time to time, and he was particularly eye-catching in the night.

Wang Xian urged the horse to gallop forward and asked urgently, "Why are you still here?" ”

The sixth prince looked ahead and said softly: "The outside is under martial law by Zhou Xuan, and I can't get by." ”

Zhou Xuan? Wang Xian frowned: "Where did he get the right to martial law barracks?" What about Liao Yi? ”

The sixth prince said in a low voice: "Liao Yi was also blocked by him, because His Majesty was in the barracks." ”

The emperor did not return to the palace and stayed in the barracks, except for the royal driver, which was unprecedented, Wang Xian was surprised and annoyed: "It's all your fault!" You can wait, see what you will do when you see Your Majesty! ”

Under the light of the torches, the gray hair and black cloak of the six princes reflected their faces like the crystal snow of the distant mountains.

"You see what you said is so terrible, I don't dare to go, anyway, there is a maple forest, or else." He looked at Wang Xian, his eyes lit up and said, "Let's run away." ”

Wang Xian was stunned and stomped his feet: "When is it!" You still want to mess around! Maple Grove is scared to death right now! ”

.....

.....

Although Feng Lin was not frightened to death, he was about to freeze on the bed, but he didn't dare to move, because there was a bright yellow figure sitting next to the bed, like a mountain under the lamplight.

The bright yellow figure didn't look at him, holding a book in his hand and reading slowly.

Eunuch Jinzhong came over with a bowl of soup and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time to rest, be careful that your eyes hurt." ”

The emperor stretched out his hand and pressed his brows, put down the piece in his hand, took the bowl, turned his head to look at the bed, and asked coldly, "Do you want to eat something, general?" ”

Feng Lin shrank in the quilt and closed his eyes, the emperor asked him not to reply, it was not that he was disrespectful, but that he was now an iron-masked general, and the general was sick and couldn't speak, just thinking about these words, he almost suffocated to death.

"It's not for him to call the shots." Eunuch Jinzhong said with a smile on the side, "Your Majesty, don't be angry with him. ”

The emperor wrinkled his brows and asked in a low voice, "What about the kid?" Haven't come back yet? You go outside and have a look. He raised his voice again, "Is there any time when this disease will get better?" Is it a waste to raise so many imperial doctors? ”

The emperor's voice was loud and broke through the tent, passing over the layers of guards, and beyond these guards there were layers of generals, and when you stood on a high place, you could see that this was a military formation with an inner circle and an outer square.

No one else was allowed to enter or leave the army except for the emperor and his attendants.

Zhou Xuan is no exception.

"Your Highness has lost his temper again?" He asked, seeing that the eunuch Jinzhong over there withdrew with a few eunuchs, everyone lowered their heads and was nervous.

A few generals standing in front of him nodded, "It's been a few days, and the generals haven't improved at all, and the medicines sent in by the imperial doctors are like throwing them away in vain." "Your Majesty drove all the people from the Tai Hospital away, and let me go to the divine doctor." "Where can I find it at this time and a half?" , they said with a gloomy face.

In fact, there were not a few imperial doctors who went in, except for one or two people, everyone else was just wandering around like headless flies outside the tent, Zhou Xuan looked ahead and thought, his eyes narrowed slightly: "Wang Xian hasn't come back yet?" ”

A general shook his head, and speculated in a low voice: "I guess, let's run." ”

Looking for medicine or something, it's an excuse, and when I find out that the general can't cure it, I run away.

If there is really anything wrong with the general, the emperor must have cut down this imperial doctor who has been following the general.

This imperial doctor named Wang Xian is not like a imperial doctor at all, many generals think he is like a liar, deceiving the general to eat and drink and deceive the general to reuse, and then in the army under the banner of the general to show off his might, the wounded soldiers in the barracks have not seen him take care of it, some generals invited him to see a doctor, and he asked for favors.

The general has nothing to do every day, he is at ease, and now that the general has an accident, he is about to reveal his prototype.

It happened a few days ago in the early morning, when the Chinese army's tent was suddenly under martial law, and the general suddenly disappeared.

Until the third day, Zhou Xuan showed that something was wrong, and took a group of generals to break in to see the general, and the Chinese army guards put up a military formation, indicating that those who dared to break into the formation would not be killed.

The entire military camp was in an uproar, but Zhou Xuan thought of a possibility, he had also seen this scene a few years ago.

At that time, Zhou Qing was still there, he was still a noble son studying in the imperial city, and one day, martial law suddenly became imposed in the Beijing camp, and mosquitoes could not fly in, because the iron-faced general was sick, except for the emperor, everyone else dared to approach and kill him.

It is not a trivial matter that the Iron Mask General is sick, the Iron Mask General is the strongest shield armor in the entire Great Xia, especially at that time, when the relationship between the princes and the imperial court was tense and the war was about to break out.

If the iron-faced general is sick, the court will inevitably be in turmoil, and he will not use troops against the princes and kings - maybe there will be a scene of the princes and kings besieging Xijing again.

Of course, it turned out to be a false alarm.

When the emperor got the news and galloped to the barracks, the iron-masked general himself came out to greet him.

Although it has been a few years and it has been a false alarm, many generals still remember that after hearing Zhou Xuan's reminder, they all reacted.

If this is the case, but it is a big event, a group of people went to question the Chinese army guards, and in the face of questioning, the Chinese army guards had to admit that the general was wrong, but the general's personal doctor, the emperor's imperial doctor, Wang Xian had already gone to find a good medicine for the general.

Moreover, after that incident, the emperor issued an order that once the general was unwell, no one but the emperor should come close.

Zhou Xuan turned his head and went to break into the palace, and the emperor followed him when he heard the news.

This time, the iron-masked general did not come out to greet him in person, and the emperor did not leave after entering, and it was already the second day.

The emperor asked the crown prince to act as his agent and stayed in the military camp to personally guard the iron-masked general, it seems that this time, the iron-masked general is only afraid of more evil and less auspicious.

"How old is the general?" A general asked in a low voice.

Another general said: "It's almost seventy, and I was injured and sick, and during the Five Kingdoms Rebellion, the general almost died outside several times." ”

Injured and sick and so old, because of the rebellion of the princes, he was hanging in one breath, but now the princes and kings have recovered, the world is peaceful, and the old general is only afraid that he will leave this time.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhou Xuan turned around and walked away, "I'm going to inspect." ”

The emperor stayed in the barracks, the military camp and the capital were more vigilant, the generals watched the little general walk away and looked at each other, this little marquis's future is also immeasurable, if the iron-masked general dies of illness, the three armies can not be without a handsome, for the emperor, Zhou Xuan is currently the most suitable candidate, after all, he himself has the credit for attacking the Zhou State, and his father is also extremely prestigious.

Zhou Xuan led a team of soldiers and horses to gallop out of the barracks, and asked Qingfeng to call a deputy general.

The deputy will come, Zhou Xuan whispered a few words to him, and the deputy general took the order and left.

Qing Feng had some resentment on the side, and he didn't know when Childe didn't tell him to arrange for him to do everything like before.

"You're not alone with three heads and six arms." Zhou Xuan glanced at him, "I don't mess around now, I have to do things seriously, and naturally the more people I have, the better, so that my marquis will be as stable as a mountain." ”

I see, it was the prince who was considerate of him, Qing Feng smiled happily again, and said: "Then the prince will be able to have enough confidence to compare with the third prince, and no one can snatch Miss Danzhu." ”

The third prince also likes Miss Danzhu, and His Majesty loves the third prince very much, and if the third prince asks, His Majesty will definitely give him a marriage.

If Zhou Xuan's exploits were more powerful, he would not be afraid of the three princes.

Zhou Xuan snorted: "Miss Danzhu won't go with others." "Let's beat the horse and gallop.

Behind him, the guards were surrounded by torches.

Qingfeng patted his horse and galloped with Zhou Xuan, and came back to his senses: "Childe, aren't you going to inspect?" ”

Zhou Xuantou didn't reply: "I went into the palace to see the prince, and he also remembered this place in the palace." ”

The horses' hooves broke the silence of the night road, and the smoke from the burning torches diffused in the wind.

Wang Xian slid down from the ravine and whispered to the young man sitting on the ground: "Zhou Xuan is going to the direction of the capital, it should be going to the palace." ”

On the other side, a black-clothed guard slipped down and whispered, "Check it out, there are about ten secret sentries that don't belong to our usual ones. ”

Wang Xian immediately said, "That can't stop us." ”

The sixth prince turned his head and smiled: "The purpose of the secret whistle is not to stop us, but to see if anyone has passed. ”

"What is this kid Zhou Xuan doing? dared to change and install guards without permission. Wang Xian said angrily, "Who gave him the right and guts!" ”

"Your Majesty is here, and what he does is a matter of expediency, but." The sixth prince said, "The most critical question is, where did he get the manpower?" ”

Zhou Xuan's authority in the army is not so great, even if in the name of protecting His Majesty, he has other generals to strengthen his vigilance, how can he have so many people to set up secret posts?

Are the other generals at his disposal, or are they?

"Keep an eye on those sentinels." Wang Xian whispered to the black-clothed guard, and the guard responded, Wang Xian looked at the six princes again, "Go to see Your Majesty first, and when the iron-masked general recovers, these things will be known as soon as he investigates." ”

The sixth prince said in a low voice: "Maybe the general's illness is not cured, but he can find out better." Without waiting for Wang Xian to speak again, he stood up, "But let's go to see Your Majesty first, you can't let Your Majesty live in the barracks all the time, the current palace is not the Xijing of the past, the crown prince, you may not be able to hold it." ”

.....

.....

There was a little noise outside the imperial city in the night, and soon the palace gate opened, and a team of guards looked at Zhou Xuan who was standing outside.

"I want to see the prince." Zhou Xuan said, taking out a token, "This was given to me by the prince." ”

The iron-masked general suddenly felt unwell, the emperor also stayed in the barracks, the prince was very uneasy in the palace, originally the prince wanted to go to the barracks by himself, but His Majesty did not allow it, the prince had no choice but to entrust Zhou Xuan to report the news of the barracks in time, so he gave Zhou Xuan a token that could come to see him at any time.

The leader of the Praetorian Guard took the inspection, and then saluted respectfully: "Master Hou, you can go in, but put down your weapons and don't bring your entourage." ”

Zhou Xuan naturally knew that Lisuo untied the matching sword and handed it to Qing Feng, and strode inward.

Qingfeng watched Zhou Xuan enter, the palace door closed again, and the palace in the middle of the night was entrenched like a giant beast.

The palace is too big, and the palace lights are only shining in it, and the palace is looming in the thick ink.

There are still lights in several of the duty rooms in the outer hall.

An attendant hurriedly approached one of the rooms with a lantern, knocked lightly on the door, and called: "Your Highness, Marquis Zhou has entered the palace." ”

Someone in the room answered, and after a short time the lights in the room went out, and someone came out, and the dim lamp of the chamberlain shone on his white clothes and black gold-threaded boots, and the two walked together into the night.

Soon they saw several people approaching them, two eunuchs with lanterns in front and one in the back.

The two sides saw each other, the two eunuchs carrying the lanterns stopped, and Zhou Xuan walked past them alone, and walked to the figure over there to stand still.

"Your Highness." Zhou Xuan said, "The general hasn't gotten better yet. ”

The figure took a step forward, and the palace lamp in the hand of the lantern eunuch dispelled the thick ink, revealing his face, his skin was white and translucent in the dark night, and his eyes were as warm as jade.

The third prince asked, "Have you seen the general with your own eyes?" ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head: "No one is allowed to approach except Your Majesty, I can't try two or three times, not to mention that I can't see the general, and I can't even see the residue of the general's medicine." ”

"So strict?" The third prince was a little surprised, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Which is the imperial physician in charge of the general?" ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head at him: "Your Highness doesn't need to think about this, the medicine residue can't be touched, let alone the imperial doctor, this imperial doctor is not common to us, it is a new imperial doctor who Jinzhong eunuch found out from the imperial hospital from somewhere, it seems that he is from southern Xinjiang, what is the secret technique." ”

"Secret technique? Witch Doctor? The third prince laughed, "Your Majesty is going to use a witch doctor?" Then it seems that the general will not survive this time. ”

"Go to the doctor in a hurry." Zhou Xuan thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "He has suffered a lot of injuries, and he is so old, I don't know if he can survive this time." ”

The third prince sighed lightly: "I hope he can't survive." ”
