The second prince laughed a few times. Between my noses, I seem to be able to smell a strong smell of vinegar.

The second prince said: "We? It's just a matter of using each other. I'm going to borrow Jinyao's hand and get rid of some people. And she wants to borrow my power to be the only one on your side (shēn). ”

Speaking of this, the second prince pulled Ma towards Gu Xuebin a few steps closer, the horse's head was facing the horse's head, and he lowered his voice and said: "I will return to Qingfan to inherit the throne, and I will no longer compete with you for the prince of the Cloud Dome Kingdom." And I can also go back to be Jinyao's backing and marry her as a brother and sister with a different surname. In the future, after I sit firmly on the throne, she will be the royal sister, and I will marry her, so what? ”

Gu Xuebin frowned after hearing this, looked up at the second prince, and said, "You have a premeditated plan?" ”

"I am bound to win the throne of Qingfan." After the second prince finished speaking, he asked, "Brother Huang, what do you think?" ”

"How do I know if you're telling the truth? What's more......" Gu Xuebin looked the second prince up and down, and said: "If you inherit the throne of Qingfan, and then hold Jin Yao hostage, and then come to fight against me, I am not raising tigers?" Didn't Jinyao help the abuse? ”

"Alright, let's set it on fire now." After the second prince finished speaking, he raised his hand. If he waved his hand down, would someone really set fire to the wooden tower?

"Wait." Gu Xuebin didn't dare to take the risk, what if this second prince really wanted to set fire? After a little thought, Gu Xuebin said, "You said a time limit." There's no way I'm going to let Jinyao follow you all the time. ”

The second prince smiled slightly and said, "Two months at most." Two months later, I personally gave Wang Mei a marriage, how about it? ”

"But, how can you guarantee Jinyao's safety?" Gu Xuebin is really 10,000 uneasy and unwilling.

The second prince raised his eyebrows and said, "I will not restrict her freedom." Of course, she also had to obediently cooperate with me and follow me. ”

"Okay, two months." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he took a step back and distanced himself from the second prince. Then he said, "I want you to guarantee her absolute safety." ”

"Do you want me to feed her another ten pounds and send it back to the imperial brother?" The second prince would even make such a joke.

I didn't dare Gu Xuebin couldn't laugh at all, glared at the second prince, and said, "This second brother doesn't bother." My own woman, I will take care of it myself. ”

"Okay, Brother Huang, withdraw your troops. Jinyao and I will go back to Qingfan as soon as possible, and we won't send the imperial brother back to Beijing. After the second prince finished speaking, he also pulled the horse and walked towards his camp. Then he took the people to turn (shēn) and went back to the camp.

Gu Xuebin looked at the back of the second prince leaving, and clenched his fists fiercely. Then he waved his hand and said, "Go back to the camp and withdraw the troops." ”

"Under the prince (diàn)." Xiao Wu hurriedly stood up, knowing that it was not polite, but he still said bluntly: "Why can't you continue to fight?" We are willing to fight to the death for Miss Liu, and we must rescue her. ”

"It's not the time yet." After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the wooden tower, and saw that Su Jinyao above was still looking at this side. He sighed and said, "This stupid girl didn't know how to run up there." If there is a fire down there, she's really finished. ”

"Fire?" Xiao Wu also looked at the tall tower, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's so high, Miss Liu really dares." ”

Gu Xuebin also knew that maybe the second prince would not set fire at all, and he would not be willing to hurt Su Jinyao's hair. But Gu Xuebin really didn't dare to make this bet.

Su Jinyao was on the tower and saw what the second prince said to Gu Xuebin in the past, and then both of them looked at her. Su Jinyao kept thinking of a way, not knowing how to pass the news over, and then saw that the two of them were separated, and the two teams of people also returned to the camp separately.

When Su Jinyao was about to go down to the tower to find the second prince to ask for clarification, she found that the wooden ladder she had climbed up the tower just now had been removed. In other words, she's stuck on it.

Of course, the height of a four-story building can't trap her, even if it's a fourteen-story building, or a higher cliff, she can also do a freehand climb. It's just that what did Qingfan deliberately trap her for?

Su Jinyao propped up the fence of the tower with one hand, and turned out directly with her head down. She grabbed the fence with her backhand and went down (dàng), hooked out the eaves of the next layer with her toes, and then twisted (shēn) and grabbed the fence of the next layer with one hand; A few ups and downs, twists, and two floors down.

With the remaining two floors left, Su Jinyao would be fine if she jumped directly from it, so she no longer grabbed the fence, so she kicked her feet and jumped down.

"Jin Yao!" The second prince, Cang Qianmao, led the men and horses back to the camp, and saw from a distance a light and wonderful (shēn) shaped like a civet cat on the tower leaping down from above.

His heart was still hanging just now, but now when he saw Su Jinyao jumping down directly, he suddenly stopped. Without thinking too much, the second prince directly stepped on the stirrup with a heavy foot, and then rose violently with his strength, and rushed towards Su Jinyao, who jumped down from the flying (shēn).

But there was a gap of two or three steps, and Su Jinyao had already landed on both feet. Then he rolled on the momentum, unloaded the habit of falling to the ground (xìng), and then turned (shēn) and stood up.

Su Jinyao sighed secretly, this is the disadvantage of not being able to work lightly. If she is good at light work, she can jump down directly, and her dress is as beautiful as a little fairy.

But now I have to borrow the safest method and roll on the spot to unload the force, which is really embarrassing.

And this scene fell in the eyes of the second prince, not only cardiac arrest, but also self-blame and regret. It wasn't until he saw Su Jinyao standing up safe and sound that he rushed forward in fright, grabbed Su Jinyao and said, "What are you doing?" I didn't say I wouldn't let you go. ”

"Who got the ladder out of the way?" Su Jinyao yelled back at the second prince and said, "I just climbed up, and I didn't pay attention to how the people below removed the ladder." Are you trying to trap me in this? Dream on you. ”

Hearing Su Jinyao still roar so loudly, Cang Qianmi's originally stopped beating heart was considered to have regained its vitality. He took a breath and said, "Jinyao, don't make trouble, I've already told the imperial brother, I'll take you back to Qingfan." ”

"He agreed?" Su Jinyao was surprised. Obviously, Gu Xuebin has already started a war, and now he agrees to follow the second prince back to Qingfan?

"Yes, conditionally. I'll talk to you slowly. Now, get ready to go. After the second prince finished speaking, he immediately sent an order down and ordered the soldiers to pack up and prepare for the return journey.

Qingfan's soldiers are also human, and no one is truly bloodthirsty, and they will not kill coolly. Therefore, as soon as they heard the news that they could go back, they were all very happy, and they all packed their bags as soon as possible. However, it was the soldiers of the Cloud Dome Kingdom who retreated faster than the Qingfan army.

As soon as he returned to the camp, Gu Xuebin ordered the whole army: immediately pack up and set up the camp. And you have to travel lightly and return to Beijing as soon as possible.

When this news was conveyed, even General Sun was surprised. But when he saw Gu Xuebin's serious expression (qíng), he couldn't say all the questions in his heart.

That night, the army of the Cloud Dome Kingdom had already set out on its way home. Everything that can be thrown away is lost, and useless things are not brought with you.

Originally, according to the agreement between Gu Xuebin and the second prince, the Cloud Dome Kingdom was the victorious party. Now it was as if he was retreating and fleeing, and he disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

This time, even the second prince was stunned. He was a little unsure of what this imperial brother was thinking. Maybe...... Still unwilling?

However, the wolf king Ah Ye was left behind. It barked outside the camp gate of the Qingfan army in the morning, and as a result, the hyenas raised in the camp were all running around in the house with their tails between their tails, and they were found and came to tell the second prince.

When Su Jinyao ran to the gate of the camp, Ah Ye was like a victorious general, wagging his tail and swaggering into Qingfan's barracks.

Su Jinyao felt that if she had it as her companion along the way, she would not feel lonely. didn't mean to ask the second prince at all, so he took Ah Ye back to his tent.

As the second prince said, there are not many restrictions on Su Jinyao's movements, as long as she does not make trouble and does not escape, she can walk around the barracks at will.

Su Jinyao thought about it, and finally decided to go and see Qingfan's wounded soldiers.

When the wolf king Ah Ye led several groups of wolves here to make trouble, many Qingfan soldiers were really injured.

Su Jinyao felt that after all, they were all people, not to mention that they were about to follow the second prince to Qingfan, and it was also reasonable to look at these temporary teammates.

When she arrived at the tent where the wounded gathered, Su Jinyao found that Qingfan did not have a real military doctor, only a few witch doctors sat in the tent, got a lot of insects and wormwood, burned them into ashes, and then mixed them with incense ash, and applied them externally and internally.

Although these things seem to be really unsightly, they actually have some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects. But its effect must not be comparable to the best wound medicine.

Su Jinyao didn't act rashly, she knew that the more ethnic minorities they were, the more they believed in faith and divine power. If she rashly blames these witch doctors for their practices, it is likely to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles.

Therefore, after she just looked at it in a hurry, she went to find the second prince.

Su Jinyao discussed with the second prince: "I see that some of your soldiers are seriously injured, if you can let me help them heal, it should be faster and it will not affect the speed of the march." Otherwise, it is also very dangerous for the wounded to travel long distances on the road (qíng). ”

Cang Qianmao changed into a simple casual dress (tào), exposed two explanatory arms, and was tying cowhide wristbands to his wrists. After listening to Su Jinyao's words, he said: "He is worthy of being a disciple of a divine doctor, and he has the style of a doctor." ”

Su Jinyao said again: "Then you agreed?" I need a password from you, or I can't just go and treat your people. The witch doctors would have thought I was disrespectful to them. ”

Cang Qianmiao nodded, and after tying his left hand, he stretched out his right hand to Su Jinyao and said, "Help, tie it." ”

Su Jinyao frowned, but still walked over to help him fasten his bracers, and then asked, "Okay or not?" ”

"Okay, come with me." After Cang Qianmiao finished speaking, he walked out of the tent with Su Jinyao and walked towards the tents where the wounded were housed.

The second prince took Su Jinyao directly into the tent. When the witch doctors saw the second prince, they immediately made a big salute. Lying on the ground with your hands on the ground, stacking your palms upward, and then lowering your head against your palms, it is similar to kneeling and kowtowing.

The second prince said a few words in Sanskrit. As he spoke, he also pointed at Su Jinyao and continued.

The witch doctors looked at the second prince, then at Su Jinyao, and several people looked at each other, and then suddenly moved their knees again, and made a big salute towards Su Jinyao.

Su Jinyao didn't know what they were talking about, so she hurriedly took a step back and asked, "What do they mean?" ”

"I told them that you are a divine doctor from the Cloud Dome Country, and you have the best prescriptions and techniques to treat those soldiers. After hearing this, they are very grateful to you and want to learn from you, so they are kneeling down and prostrating just now. After the second prince finished speaking, he smiled unkindly, as if his calculation had succeeded.

Su Jinyao was very surprised, and said, "So you will apprentice?" I didn't agree to take them as disciples. Moreover, they are witch doctors, shouldn't they ostracize foreigners and think that I am evil and stupid? ”

The second prince was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "It's stupid for you to have such an idea." What do you think I Qingfan is? Ignorant and backward Fanbang? Qingfan attaches great importance to literate talents, and also welcomes visiting business travelers and envoys from all over the world, so Qingfan is not as backward as you think. But after all, Qingfan is located in several primeval forests, and there are several mountains separated by them, and there are many beasts and miasma in the mountains, and there are not many people who can reach them, and the closure is also a last resort. And we only have witch doctors who know some medical skills, and it's a pity that there has never been a very good healer who can teach them real healing skills. ”

"So, I'm the master you found for them?" When Su Jinyao heard this, she felt that she was impressed by Cang Qianmiao again.

He would teach himself Qimen Dunjia, he would let himself, a person who knew how to heal, teach their witch doctors, and maybe he was still making other efforts to try to change the entire Qingfan.

Maybe...... He'd be a good king.

Seeing that Su Jinyao didn't speak, the second prince asked, "Jinyao, are you willing to teach them?" ”

"Oh, yes. I try to teach them some of the most practical medical skills, some of which are so profound that I am afraid they will not use them. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she looked at the injured soldiers and said, "But I don't know Sanskrit, can any of them speak Chinese?" ”

The second prince scratched his head and said, "You can find a clever and diligent soldier who can speak Chinese to follow you." However, I'm afraid that what you say may not be able to be understood by him. ”

If it weren't for the doctor's language barrier, there would be no way to translate a lot of prescriptions and technical terms, and if something goes wrong, it's not a joke.

Su Jinyao had no choice but to say, "You can only try it." If it really doesn't work, I can't teach it, it's a little wrong, but it's a matter of human life. ”

In this way, it was decided that during Su Jinyao's stay in Qingfan, she would try her best to teach these witch doctors simple and practical medical skills, and Su Jinyao could be regarded as receiving her first task before stepping into Qingfan. The next day, when the Qingfan army went on the road, it was obviously relatively calm, and it seemed that they were not discouraged by the so-called "defeat", and some people even sang songs during the march.

Su Jinyao listened to the strange but simple tune, and asked the second prince, "Can you sing on the march?" Or is it a morale boost? ”

"Isn't that possible?" The second prince smiled and said, "Qingfan is the so-called Fan State, which is naturally different from the Cloud Dome Kingdom. They are more of a follower (xìng) and self, and when these warriors are not on the march, they will also go home to plow the fields, raise cattle, and live the (rì) of ordinary people. But once Qingfan needs them, each of them is the best soldier. ”

Listening to the words of the second prince, Su Jinyao couldn't help but take a breath, feeling that Qingfan's army was very human, and this form of all the people being soldiers was more suitable for the word "protecting the family and defending the country".

Every Qingfan man will take up arms when the war comes, and they are the ones who know best what they want to defend. For that dedication, I will definitely protect it with all my heart.

Then, Su Jinyao said curiously: "You know Qingfan very well." Could it be that when you were in the capital, you only cared about the affairs of this place (qíng)? ”

The second prince raised his eyes and nodded slowly. Then he said: "Ever since I knew where my hometown was, I had been paying attention to Qingfan. After being here once, I thought everything was so beautiful. In fact, the throne of the Cloud Dome is almost like a shackle to me, and this is my favorite place. ”

"But your mother ......" Su Jinyao said halfway through her words, and she had to swallow it back.

At this time, although she was still free, it was obviously inappropriate to mention the dispute between the nobles and the palace. If the second prince is stubborn, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have a killing plan for himself.

But when the second prince heard this, he still shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the events of the year (qíng). But I know in my heart that no one is a real victim, and no one is a real bad person. Under the strife, everyone only seeks self-preservation, and everyone seeks a high position. If you fall low, you will be stepped on even lower by others. So, if you want to live, sometimes you have to do something that disgusts you (qíng). ”

Speaking of this, the second prince glanced at Su Jinyao deeply and said, "If you are interested, I will tell you something that you may never want to know (qíng)." ”

"What's the matter?" Su Jinyao suddenly felt that the second prince must know something before he said this.

The second prince did not sell Guan Zi this time, and said directly: "My mother was responsible for the death of the imperial concubine, but she was not the real mastermind. She was just used as a knife by others, and she borrowed her hand to get rid of the imperial concubine. In fact, for so many years, my mother has not been very favored, just on the surface. ”

The news of Cangqianmiao shocked Su Jinyao's whole body, and she hurriedly pulled the horse and took a few steps closer to him, and said, "What do you mean by that?" Is the imperial concubine you are talking about...... The concubine under the crown prince (diàn)? ”
