Wen Yiheng said in a deep voice: "Xu is the saint intends to return the military power to you, the general...... If Jiu Dong'er is married into the East Palace by the crown prince because of rumors and reputation problems, and then there is you, an old man who holds military power, and the situation of Yun Mulin's ascension to the throne will be stable. ”

Su Fenglan still shook his head in disbelief: "Now that the war on the frontier has been decided, and there is no war for the old man to go out, how can the Holy Lord have a reason to hand over the military power to the old man?" ”

Wen Yiheng said coldly: "This is not called handover, this is called return, general, the military power in your hands was originally obtained by killing the enemy by yourself." ”

"However, this time the frontier war was a great victory, and the squad did not get the reward they deserved after returning to the court, and the soldiers worked the battlefield, and there was no reward after returning to Beijing, but the saint took away the military power in your hand, isn't this a rabbit and a dog cooking, unloading the mill and killing the donkey?"

In fact, Wen Yiheng's words did not imply Su Fenglan's meaning.

Su Fenglan was already frightened by Wen Yiheng: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Wen Yiheng had already thought of a plan in his heart: "Since the Holy Lord intends to return the military power to you, the general, we might as well give the Holy Lord a reason to return the military power, and we can also take this opportunity to rescue Jiu Dong'er from the palace." ”

The time came the next morning.

At the end of the day, Su Jiudong was woken up by the palace maid and said that Li Deqin invited her to go to the Wude Hall to treat the prince.

Su Jiudong, who had slept soundly all night, no longer had the panic of last night, calmly washed and changed clothes under the service of the palace maids, picked up the medicine bag and went to the Wude Palace.

Su Jiudong and Yun Mulin were originally opposites, although they didn't put this matter on the surface now, they really hated each other, so Su Jiudong turned around and walked out of the inner room after taking Yun Mulin's pulse, and told Li Deqin to grab medicine for Yun Mulin.

"This prescription is still the same as last night's prescription, but the dosage is a little smaller than last night, Gonggong Li can first give the prescription to the doctors of the Tai Hospital, and then grab the medicine and decoction."

Li Deqin's attitude was very courteous: "Miss Su is out of sight, since this prescription is the same as what you prescribed last night, the old slave directly ordered someone to grab the medicine, and there is no need to trouble the doctor in the hospital." ”

Although Li Deqin was respectful to Su Jiudong on the surface, he was just putting on a show, but in fact, he first showed the prescription to the imperial doctor, and only after confirming that the prescription was harmless did he dare to take the medicine according to the prescription.

Su Jiudong's prescription for Li Deqin is still the emetic drug prescribed last night to relieve poison for the body, and the bitter medicine of Sanhuang continues to be added.

Yun Mulin frowned and held his breath, and soon after taking the decoction with the bitter taste, he began to vomit blood stasis again.

However, the blood that Yun Mulin vomited today was not as large as the black blood he vomited yesterday, and the crimson blood he spit out could probably fill a blue and white porcelain tea bowl.

Su Jiudong was not disturbed by the gossip in the palace, and the time he spent with Yun Mulin was only a short time to check the pulse, and when the queen and Emperor Tianduo came to the East Palace to check Yun Mulin's condition again in the evening, they could be regarded as safe.

Just when Su Jiudong was thinking about how to escape from the East Palace unharmed, the time had already come to the third day.

After Yun Mulin continued to take the medicine, the blood he vomited was close to the normal blood red, and the amount of vomited was only the size of a wine corpse.

Emperor Tianduo and the Empress came to the East Palace to visit Yun Mulin together in the afternoon, and also brought urgent news to Su Jiudong.

"What? My dad was kidnapped by bandits?! Su Jiudong couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the news.

Emperor Tianduo nodded, and his voice was cold: "Yes, it is said that when he secretly went to the mountains near the outskirts of Beijing to suppress bandits early this morning, General Su accidentally fell for the bandits' plot, and now he is held hostage by them." ”

"Since it happened early in the morning, why did you not tell the courtiers until now?" Su Jiudong subconsciously looked at the sundial outside the Wude Palace, it was already Shen Shizhong, which meant that almost five hours and eleven hours had passed since Mao Shizhong!

Su Jiudong, who was in a panic, thought about it carefully and noticed the strangeness, the imperial court dispatched troops to suppress bandits, with a battlefield general like Su Fenglan, could he not destroy the bandits on a small hill, how could he be captured by the bandits so easily?

Liu Defeng explained: "At that time, after General Su was captured by the bandits, he sent an envoy to communicate with the leader of the bandits. ”

"However, the envoy inadvertently revealed the existence of Miss Su during the conversation, and the leader of the bandits immediately asked Miss Su to personally send the ransom and exchange General Su back."

"Let me send a ransom to exchange my daddy back?" Su Jiudong was skeptical.

Liu Defeng nodded: "Yes...... Although the slave also thinks that using a woman to send a ransom and exchange General Su back is tantamount to putting Miss Su's safety at risk, which is indeed despicable. ”

"However, this matter was also recognized by most of the soldiers, and several generals present also agreed."

The more Liu Defeng spoke, the quieter his voice became, and it was obvious to the naked eye that he was very disdainful of the transaction of sending a woman to take the ransom money in exchange for Su Fenglan's safety. absolutely

Although the soldiers of the army did not like this humiliating practice, in the eyes of the soldiers in the barracks, Su Jiudong, who was powerless, was naturally inferior to Su Fenglan, a veteran general who led them into battle to kill the enemy and had deep feelings.

Emperor Tianduo came to the East Palace at this time to personally inform Su Jiudong of the news, indicating that in his eyes, Su Jiudong was not as important as Su Fenglan, a fierce future.

However, Emperor Tianduo still pretended to make a gesture in front of Su Jiudong: "General Su was captured, what about the other generals in the barracks, where did they go?" ”

Liu Defeng replied respectfully: "It is said that when those generals saw that the bandit leader was so brave, they tried their best to avoid confronting the leader head-on, so that General Su fell into an isolated and helpless situation, and he was outnumbered before he was captured alive by the bandit leader." ”

Emperor Tianduo shook the cup, and advanced from the coy posture just now to the angry crown: "The general of the Gyeonggi military camp of my Dayin Dynasty can't beat a small bandit leader? What's going on now? ”

"Wen Xiang has already brought another pair of people to the scene to preside over the situation, and now wait for Miss Su to send the ransom over."

However, after Su Jiudong heard that Wen Yiheng was also present, he tasted a different intention from it.

Even Wen Yiheng, who was present, agreed to use Su Jiudong to send the ransom and exchange Su Fenglan back, which shows that there must be something strange in it...... Could this be Wen Yiheng's plan to bring Su Jiudong out of the East Palace? But it's too dangerous.

In case Emperor Duo didn't agree to let Su Jiudong send the ransom, wouldn't the plan be in vain, and then there were rumors that Su Fenglan was held hostage by thieves, not only did he lose his reputation, but Su Jiudong also failed to take him out of the palace, and finally it became a situation where stealing chickens and rice was not lost.

After thinking about it, Su Jiudong still decided to believe Wen Yiheng's decision, and resolutely stood up:

"The courtiers are willing to send the ransom in person and exchange Daddy out, the courtiers' contribution to the court and the country is far less than a finger of Daddy, and the safety of the courtiers is exchanged for Daddy's safe return, and the chances of winning are even greater."

Su Jiudong looked at Liu Defeng: "At present, how much is the ransom demanded by the bandits?" ”

"Two hundred thousand taels of gold." When Liu Defeng said this number, his voice was also trembling.

200,000 taels of gold, this huge amount is almost equal to the amount of taxes paid by the Great Yin Dynasty for almost five years.

Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, even if the amount of money collected by all corrupt officials is counted, such a large amount of ransom cannot be collected in a short period of time.

"Why don't you have so many ......" Su Jiudong waved his hand, turned his head and asked Emperor Tianduo for instructions: "Please allow the Holy Lord to allow the courtiers to go out of the palace and go home to collect the ransom and go to rescue Daddy." ”

Emperor Tianduo raised his eyebrows, and his tone was gentle: "At such a critical juncture, of course I will agree to let you go home, but can you scrape together such a huge ransom in a short period of time?" ”

Emperor Tianduo's question also had the meaning of testing Su Jiudong, if Su Jiudong nodded yes, it meant that Su Fenglan was very corrupt.

Even if he is as powerful as Su Fenglan, it is impossible for him to accumulate a huge wealth of 200,000 taels of gold in his family within a few decades only with the reward of Yu Lu and the emperor...... After Su Fenglan was ransomed with ransom, he faced the scourge of his soldiers' imprisonment.

Su Jiudong smiled relaxedly: "That thief wants 200,000 taels of gold, and the courtier's family definitely doesn't have so many taels of silver, but 20 taels of gold, the courtier's daughter thinks she can barely make it up." ”

Emperor Tianduo smiled at Su Jiudong with interest: "Oh? It seems that you plan to redeem General Su with only twenty taels of gold? ”

Su Jiudong sneered: "It's just that the family lacks money and the family background is too thin, and the courtiers really can't make up 200,000 taels of gold, so remove a 10,000-word word and only take 20 taels of gold to mean to those thieves." ”

Emperor Tianduo said, "Those bandits are all extremely vicious, and you, as a weak woman, are you sure you can have the courage to face them?" ”

Su Jiudong smiled lightly, he wanted to open his mouth and say that he had already gone to the frontier with the army to participate in the war, how could he be afraid of the bandit hairy, but when the words came to his mouth, Su Jiudong swallowed them.

Emperor Tianduo didn't know that Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng participated in the war with the army, and Su Fenglan also used the reason for Su Jiudong's brief "disappearance" in the capital to recuperate in the hot spring village on the outskirts of Beijing, so except for a few close personnel, no one else knew about Su Jiudong's army.

Therefore, such a confidential matter, of course, cannot be exposed from the mouth of Su Jiudong, the person concerned.

Su Jiudong pretended to be arrogant and awe-inspiring, raised his head and chest, and said with a firm attitude: "Bai Lotian sacrificed Cai Xianggong still said that Qiu Yuan has not returned, the museum will be donated first, and the body will not be redeemed, and a dream will not be returned." ”

"The courtier's father has the courage to kill the enemy for me, and the courtiers should also inherit the courage of the father, face those bandits and villains, and redeem the father safely."

"Tiger father has no dog daughter, Su Fenglan has a daughter like you, it is his blessing!" Emperor Tianduo sighed again in his mind, Su Jiudong was not a man, and he couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy and serve the imperial court like Su Fenglan.

However, Emperor Tianduo already had other thoughts at this time, since Su Jiudong could not go into battle as a man to kill the enemy, then as a woman, if she was a virtuous helper in the future, it would be impossible to help Yun Mulin ascend the throne to the throne.
