On the bed, a man in a dark bedgown was lying quietly.

More than a month has passed since that day, and Shen Shu still doesn't dare to recall the situation at that time.

She watched the incense ash mark in Chu Yi's eyebrows dissipate, the brilliance in her phoenix eyes dimmed little by little, and the powerlessness that rose in the depths of her soul made her desperate.

She even began to blame herself, why did she let Chu Yi step forward to cut off Bai Yi's arm instead of herself......

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor couldn't believe that Chu Yi would die in Huangquan, he reached out to touch Chu Yi's snort and found that he still had a trace of breath-

Shen Shu may fall into deeper self-blame and be unable to extricate herself.

The "crackling" sound of the candle flame pulled Shen Shu's thoughts back.

She wrung the veil in the hot water, untied Chu Yi's collar, and began to administer needles to him.

This is the method that Ah Qiu taught her-

"His Royal Highness has Bai Yi poisonous blood in his body, and he should have died of paralysis. It was only because you had used your blood to detoxify His Highness, that he had the power to restrain the poisonous blood, and that you fed him blood at that time, that he survived. ”

"However, although his life is saved, it is unknown when His Highness will wake up, and for today's plan, the only way to try it is to use the life-sustaining detoxification needle method left by the ancestors."

"It's just that the acupuncture method needs to be paired with Yunjiang's unique herbs, and there are not many herbs in the Tai Hospital."

This is also one of the reasons why Shen Shu took Chu Yi to Fuyun Temple.

The monk's house here is the place where she and Chu Yi meet, and it is also the foothold close to the back mountain.

There are unique herbs in Yunjiang in the back mountain, and picking fresh herbs at any time is more helpful to detoxify Chu Yi.

Shen Shu took the needle, fed the boiled decoction to Chu Yi to take, and then moved a small pestle to sit on the edge of the couch, and took his hand and put it to his lips.

The temperature of Chu Yi's palm made Shen Shu feel at ease, she closed her eyes, and said to him without a match:

"Daddy will lead troops to patrol the border tomorrow, Yan Zhao is now the Khan of Xihun and knows the news of your death, and has sent more than a dozen spies to spy on you. Lao Rui Wang said that before Bai Jin died, there was still a poisonous slave soldier left for the old Khan, and that poisonous slave soldier is now in Yan Zhao's hands. ”

Bai Yi hated the emperor to the core, and did not confide in useful news under the heavy punishment, but the prince told the emperor in order to survive that Bai Yi not only let Bai Jin lurk in Xihun, but also had a layout in Beidi. In this way, the emperor thought about it, and only by releasing the news of your death, so that Xihun and Beidi thought that I had no prince to stand in the Great Zhou Dynasty and no fierce generals to use, he would rush in and show his minions. ”

"Do you know what the emperor said to me before we left...... He said that only the sound of war drums at the border can wake you up, and you are the same as when he was young, you were born for the battlefield, and your soul is on the battlefield......"

It was late at night, and Shen Shu's voice gradually lowered: "But I know that you are different from him...... The emperor wants to be the first emperor of the four seas to surrender through the ages, but what you remember in your heart is the safety of the surname Bai of the Great Zhou. Now that the war at the border pass is rekindled, and the surname Bai at the border pass is being dragged into the fire and water again, when will you wake up...... I really miss you......"

"If I hadn't asked you to deal with Bai Yi that day, you wouldn't have been like this, it's all my fault, ......are you okay when you wake up?"

In the room, Shen Shu, who was quiet again and fell asleep, did not notice that the hand she was holding moved invisibly......

Beidi border.

Chu Zhan sat by the bonfire, rubbing the purse embroidered with pear blossoms in his hand, his eyes full of loneliness.

In the dark night, a masked man in black approached him silently.

"You're here." Chu Zhan turned his head to look at the comer.

The man who came took off his black scarf and saluted him.

Beneath the black scarf is a young face.

If Shen Shu was present, he would definitely recognize that he was Liu Xing who was driven away by her.

Liu Xing saw the purse in Chu Zhan's hand, and his expression was a little complicated.

That night, Shen Shu cut off a strand of hair, put it in his purse, and handed it to Liu Xing, asking him to bring his heart to Chu Yi.

And Liu Xing finally handed over the purse to Chu Zhan.

This is also why Chu Zhan would enter the palace early in the morning that day and ask the emperor for marriage.

"Your Highness can't let go of Miss Shen, why did you promise the emperor to come to the north and go to Yunjiang to join the old prince, wouldn't it be better?"

Liu Xing paused, and said tentatively: "That day, the old prince was poisoned by the bats in his body in order to save the emperor, and now although he suppresses the toxicity in his body, it is also extremely dangerous, this time the old prince in order to make up for the mistakes he made before, please go to Yunjiang to assist Shen Changshi Qing to suppress the poisonous slave soldiers, how can His Royal Highness rest assured that the old prince is alone in Yunjiang......"

"If I don't come to the north, how can the emperor rest assured that my father will go to Yunjiang." Chu Zhan lightly interrupted Liu Xing's words: "In the past, the north was guarded by King Yi, and Beidi didn't dare to attack. Now that Xihun is about to move, King Yi is not there, Beidi will not miss the opportunity, I came here, but also to contain Beidi, you don't need to be tempted, I will not ignore the surname of Da Zhou Bai for personal feelings. ”

When Liu Xing heard this, his heart was slightly relieved, and his expression was a little more respectful.

"Your Highness summoned the villain to come, I don't know what to order."

Chu Zhan took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to him.

Liu Xing looked at it carefully, and the jade pendant was engraved with strange patterns, which were not the same as those common in the Great Zhou.

"What is engraved on this seems to be the pattern of Beidi?"

Chu Zhan nodded: "This jade pendant is owned by the Beidi royal family. The mother concubine of the five princes, who was originally the princess of Beidi, you handed over this jade pendant to the five princes, and wanted to stay by his side, and I would be useful in the future. ”

Liu Xing's face changed slightly, he quietly put away the jade pendant, and said thoughtfully: "Now that the prince has been sentenced to death, King Yi's life and death are unpredictable, and the fifth prince is the best candidate for the prince, His Royal Highness let the villain go to the five princes, could it be that he plans to ......"

"This king has no interest in the throne." Chu Zhan looked at him and said: "The royal family affection is already cold, since she chose to marry King Yi, I just want her to have a safe and smooth life, if the fifth prince is really benevolent, it will be fine." Otherwise, after a hundred years of the emperor, Chu Yi does not want to sit on this throne, and he has to sit. ”

Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

He understood very well that the person in Chu Zhan's mouth was referring to Shen Shu.

Liu Xing is the orphan of the first emperor Yingwei, although he was driven away by Shen Shu, he had to stay with King Rui and do things for King Rui. But this is just to repay the favor.

He could never do anything to usurp the throne.

"The villain knows." Liu Xinggong replied respectfully: "In the eyes of the villain, His Royal Highness King Yi is indeed the best candidate for the prince, and the county lord of Anding is kind to the villain, and the villain will definitely be optimistic about the five princes." ”

After saying this, he said goodbye to Chu Zhan.

When his figure disappeared into the night, Chu Zhan looked at the purse in his hand again, and sighed: "In this life, I will eradicate the bane of Beidi again, and give you a lifetime of peace, and it will not be in vain for me to come back." ”

*

Ten days later.

Yan Zhao, the Khan of Western Hungary, personally led a large army to the battle, and the soldiers came to the city, and Shen Chong's father and son led the troops to resist the enemy.

Five days later, Shen Chong's father and son defeated the Western Hungarian striker, and Yan Zhao sent poison slave soldiers.

On the next ten days, Chu Tianxi, the king of Lao Rui, with the help of Ah Qiu, used the arrow array to break the mechanism of the Western Hungarian slave soldiers to control the poisonous slaves, and the poisonous slaves escaped control, turned against the battle, and killed more than 10,000 people in the Western Hungarians.

Yan Zhaoming Jin withdrew his troops and retreated twenty miles outside the pass, but he did not withdraw his troops.

In the conference hall, Shen Chong's face was full of melancholy.

"The poisonous slaves have been exhausted and can no longer fight, if Yan Zhao sends heavy troops to attack again, our side can only carry it hard, Xihun has been recuperating for more than ten years, the soldiers are fat and strong, if they come out, Yunjiang will be in danger."

Shen Jinming offered advice: "Now that the two wars have been won and the morale of the West Hungarians is declining, why don't my father ask the emperor to send reinforcements, take advantage of the victory to pursue, strike first, or severely defeat the main force of the West Hungary." ”

"Chase after victory? Preemptive? Easier said than done! ”

Lao Rui Wang Chu Tianxi's face was pale, he coughed twice, and then said: "If there is no brave general, going out of the customs to fight the main force of the Western Huns is undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg, let me ask, can your father and son compare to the Marquis of Changping back then?" ”

When it comes to the Marquis of Changping, the worry on Shen Chong's face is even worse: "The Marquis of Changping is a generation of god generals, more than ten years ago, he led his troops out of the customs, and severely defeated the main force of the Western Hungarians. Looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, only His Royal Highness King Yi can match it, and Yan Zhao dared to attack this time because His Royal Highness King Yi ......"

The eyes of everyone present were all cast to the screen on the side of the chamber because of Shen Chong's words.

Behind the screen, Shen Shu sat in front of the couch, listening to their discussion while massaging Chu Yi's stiff calves.

These days, Shen Shu has been hanging about the battle ahead, and no matter where he goes, he will take Chu Yi with him.

Although Chu Yi was still in a coma, Shen Shu believed that if he regained consciousness, he would be most concerned about the war......

"Yan Zhao retreated twenty miles, but he has not withdrawn his troops for a long time, we must always prepare with both hands, even if it is not possible to lead the troops out of the customs to pursue, it is always okay to ask the emperor to send troops for reinforcements! If Yunjiang can't hold it, and the West Hungarian Iron Horse drives straight in, how many people will be displaced......"

Shen Jinming's words pulled Shen Shu's thoughts back, she stood up, turned the screen, looked at her brother and said: "Asking the emperor to send troops to reinforce Yunjiang can indeed protect Yunjiang, but brother, don't forget, the Beidi people in the north are also eyeing you." If the emperor sends troops to the west, Beidi will definitely make some moves, and then the enemy will be attacked on the back of the abdomen, and the imperial capital will be in danger......"

Speaking of this, her expression was slightly gloomy: "The emperor will not transfer troops, Yunjiang can only rely on ourselves." ”

Chu Tianxi looked at Shen Shu and nodded appreciatively.

"Not bad." He said lightly: "If Yan Zhao doesn't retreat, Yunjiang can only defend to the death, and judging from the current situation, there is still a five-point chance of winning." Taking a step back, even if Yunjiang is broken, the Great Zhou will only lose this state. The Beidi army is not as good as the West Hungary, as long as the troops in the north are not reduced, they will not dare to move, and the emperor can rest easy. ”

He paused, and looked at Shen Jinming meaningfully: "The emperor sent your father and son to Yunjiang, if you can keep it, it will be a great credit to your father and son, if you can't keep it, it will be the dereliction of duty of your father and son. ”

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Jinming deeply understood why his father was worried.

He didn't care about the so-called life and death honor and disgrace in Chu Tianxi's mouth, but even began to think of a strategy to break the enemy.

Shen Jinming pondered for a moment, and asked Shen Chong for his life: "My son is willing to take an elite army to detour from Suoguanlin to the hinterland of Western Hungary, if Yan Zhao attacks the city and messes with his rear, it can also alleviate the danger of Yunjiang." ”

"That's a way to go." Chu Tianxi looked at Shen Jinming with interest: "Do you know that taking the road to Xihun to lock the Guanlin to go to Xihung, not to mention the long distance, you have to pass through many passes to enter Xihulin, and it is already a life to enter the hinterland of Xihun alive, not to mention messing with its rear...... Do you have the determination to die? ”

Shen Jinming's eyes were full of determination: "The border soldiers are not afraid of life and death, the lower officials were born in Yunjiang and grew up in Yunjiang, they can do their best for the people of Yunjiang, and they will die without regrets!" ”

"Good!" Chu Tianxi coughed deeply: "I am most familiar with Xihu, I will go with you." ”

He turned his head to look at Shen Chong: "I don't know if the general is willing to believe me?" ”

Shen Chong hurriedly stood up and arched his hand towards Chu Tianxi: "The emperor personally sent the prince to accompany the army, of course the lower officials believe in the prince, but the prince fought yesterday and injured his vitality, this trip is dangerous and abnormal, if the prince has any mistakes, the lower officials have no shame to face the emperor......"

"It doesn't matter." Chu Tianxi interrupted him: "I have the poison of the bat bird in my body, and there are not many in Japan, and the emperor is there, I will explain it." ”

Shen Shu frowned.

She and her third brother Shen Jinming have had a very close relationship since childhood, so they naturally don't want the third brother to risk himself. But she knew very well in her heart that having the third brother take people to the rear of Xihun was the best solution at the moment.

But this does not mean that she will rest assured that Chu Tianxi will accompany her.

Even though Chu Tianxi now seems to have "changed his evil and returned to the right", Shen Shu did not dare to gamble with the life of the third brother.

The sons and daughters of the border pass can die on the battlefield, but they can't die in conspiracy.

After all, Xihun used to be Chu Tianxi's territory.

However, after all, Chu Tianxi is the emperor's younger brother, and not long ago, he sacrificed his life to save the emperor in danger, and led his troops to achieve a great victory, which is the time to win the Sacred Heart.

Chu Tianxi's request, the emperor will not refuse.

Even if Shen Shu is now Princess Yi, it is difficult to change the emperor's mind.

Shen Shu and her father glanced at each other, and wanted to open their mouths to refuse directly, but suddenly a hoarse and familiar voice came into their ears:

"If Uncle Ten Emperors really wants to go, they can lead a group of elite soldiers to go alone, and with Uncle Huang's familiarity with Western Hungary, it will be fine."

Shen Shu's eyes widened.

It's Chu Yi!

Shen Shu was pleasantly surprised, and was about to go to the back of the screen when she took a step, but saw that Chu Yi had already walked out slowly.

Because he has been unconscious, Chu Yi's face is pale, and his tall figure is also a lot thinner, but his eyes are calm and full of insight into everything, and there is no sickness at all, even if his steps are stiff, the innate killing aura makes everyone present can't help but sit up straight.

"You still don't believe me?" Chu Tianxi looked at Chu Yi and said with a calm face.

Chu Yi looked at him lightly, noncommittal.

But the attitude is self-evident.

"Hmph, I don't need you to believe me in my actions."

Chu Tianxi coughed twice and looked at Shen Chong: "You will give me an elite soldier, and then find a guide who is familiar with the terrain of the lock forest, and I will leave early tomorrow morning!" ”

Shen Chong hesitated to look at Chu Yi, and when he saw Chu Yi's head, he responded.

Chu Tianxi snorted coldly, glanced at Chu Yi deeply, and left with his sleeves brushed up.

By the time he left, everyone had recovered from their surprise.

Shen Chong and Shen Jinming took the generals in the council hall to greet Chu Yi, and after taking care of Chu Yi's body, they retreated.

When only Chu Yi and Shen Shu were left in the conference hall, Shen Shu finally couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and walked towards Chu Yi.

In the past month or so, Shen Shu has not remembered how many times she has imagined such a picture.

At this moment, when she and Chu Yi met their eyes, they saw the familiar warm color of his eyes, and the worries and thoughts that had accumulated in his heart for many days were filled with tears like a tide.

When Chu Yi saw her coming, he also took a step, but it seemed that his body was too stiff, and he was about to plant forward if his center of gravity was unstable-

"Be careful!"

Shen Shu's heart instantly rose to his throat, and he stepped forward, wanting to help him.

Unexpectedly, he was hugged by Chu Yi's big palm backhand.

"I'm fine." Chu Yi whispered in Shen Shu's ear, and his low and hoarse voice was full of gentleness.

Shen Shu felt that the big hand around her waist was not as weak as she imagined, but very powerful.

She looked up from Chu Yi's arms in surprise, but accidentally fell into his deep eyes full of pity.

"I have heard everything you have said to me these days." Chu Yi said in a hoarse voice.

He gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Shen Shu's eyes: "I blamed me for being too careless that day...... Makes you worry about me......"

Shen Shu heard the self-blame in his tone, and quickly shook his head: "It's not your fault, it's my ......"

However, before she finished her words, she saw Chu Yi's head bowed.

The slightly hot lips, with a intoxicating gentleness, swallowed up Shen Shu's self-blame that she didn't have time to say, and the lingering nostalgia between her lips and teeth made Shen Shu's heart pound, and she couldn't help but fall into it......

"From now on, I will protect you and myself, and I will not let you cry for me again......"

*

Ten days later, Yan Zhao, the Khan of Western Hungary, led an army of 200,000 troops to suddenly attack, forming a formation outside the city of Yunbian, in a vain attempt to take the three states of Yunjiang in one go.

Shen Chong's father and son defended the city for several days, pretending to be invincible and abandoning the city.

Yan Zhao's fierce general, General Nawu, led his troops into the city, and was shot dead in the city by Chu Yi and his people lurking in the city.

At the same time, Chu Tianxi led his troops to infiltrate the hinterland of the Western Hungarians, raided the grain and grass supply line of the Western Hungarian army, burned down the Western Hungarian granary, and lied that the Western Hungarian prince was not dead, gathered the old department of the eldest prince, and released the news to take advantage of the situation to attack Xijing.

Yan Zhao lost his beloved general, and received news from the rear, and everything was in chaos.

Shen Chong's father and son, under Chu Yi's arrangement, led their troops to fight back, killing the Western Hungarian army and retreating.

In the last battle, Chu Yi masked and mixed into the army, shot out one of Yan Zhao's ears, Yan Zhao was frightened, and withdrew his troops overnight and fled back to Western Hungary.

Since then, Yan Zhao has never dared to lead his troops into the Great Zhou for half a step in his lifetime.

The news of Yunjiang's victory reached the palace, and the emperor was overjoyed and named Shen Chong as the protector of Yunjiang.

At the same time, Chu Yi also sent personal guards to bring his handwritten letter to the emperor in Beijing, asking the emperor to continue to hide the news of his awakening, let him stay in Yunjiang, and silently protect the people here.

The emperor received the letter, was silent for several days, and finally agreed.

It's just that he didn't "hide the news of his awakening" as Chu Yi said, but instead announced to the world that King Yi was not dead, and he had a meritorious role in luring the enemy by deceitful death, and gave him a residence in Yunjiang.

Beidi learned the news and retreated without a fight.

A month later, under the witness of Qincha, Chu Yi and Shen Shu got married in Yunjiang.

Ten miles of red makeup, the people are happy.

In the following ten years, the emperor made great efforts, the Great Zhou Dynasty was prosperous and stable, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, creating a prosperous generation.

Five years later, the emperor's old illness recurred, and he felt powerless, knowing that time was running out, he urgently recruited Chu Yi and his children back to Beijing.

The fifth prince Chu Dan coveted the position of the prince, and took advantage of the palace banquet to poison the emperor and blame King Yi, but was recognized by Shen Shu.

Chu Zhan, the king of Rui, intercepted the private correspondence between Chu Dan and Beidi from the Beidi border, and sent it to the palace in an expedited manner for 800 miles.

The emperor was furious, beheaded the five princes, and passed on to Chu Yi, who died of depression a year later.

Five years later, Chu Yi passed the throne to his eldest son Chu Zhao, traveled the world with Shen Shu, and a few years later, settled in Yunjiang until his death. (End of text)
