Seeing this, the guards who had managed to cure the fleeing man hurriedly turned around and looked nervously at Chi An's injured arm: "General, are you okay?" ”

By the cool moonlight, the guards saw that Chi An's wound was constantly bubbling with blood, and after a while, a piece of skin around the wound was wet.

Fortunately, although there was blood, it was red, and there was no tendency in the slightest.

Seeing this, the guards couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If these barbarians smeared poison on the darts, I am afraid that the general will suffer.

"No problem."

Chi An's face did not change, and he did not react much because of the pain, he pressed the wound with one hand, as if he couldn't feel the pain, raised his eyes and glanced at the subdued fleeing person, and said:

"Cover their mouths and send them to the City Lord's Mansion, so as not to cause panic among too many people."

The guards heard the meaning of Chi An's words.

These words are telling them that it is best to secretly send these people to the city lord's mansion and detain them, so that they will not be seen by Yan Jun.

After all, the current identity of these people is clear, and they may be spies sent in by various tribes on the grassland, or they may be the secret chess pieces of the emperor of Yan who are ambushed in the Yan army.

Some things have to be guarded against.

Therefore, the guards neatly tied their hands and feet, stuffed a black cloth into their mouths, covered them with a burlap bag, and carried them away on their shoulders.

As if nothing had happened, after everyone had left, there was calm outside the city walls, and only the cool moonlight sprinkled here, reflecting the blood on the ground, proved that something had just happened here.

Late at night, at the end of the hour.

When the soldiers grabbed the fleeing few people into the cellar, Qi Changrong was sleeping, and the slight sound woke up the servant Xia who was waiting outside.

"Before going to sleep, His Highness instructed that if all those people went out and were arrested, they should just break their hands and feet and be trapped in the cellar for a cold night, and His Highness would interrogate them tomorrow."

The cold words came into the ears of the generals, and Chi An, who was standing at the forefront, subconsciously frowned.

The wound on his arm had not yet had time to be bandaged, and the dried blood had solidified on the back of his hand along the armor.

On the steps, Shi Xia saw the blood stains on his hands, and after a pause with a slight light in his eyes, he took out two bottles from his sleeve pocket and threw them away.

Chi An caught it with his other intact hand.

At this time, I listened to Shi Xia say: "The white bottle is the antidote pill, and the red bottle is the gold sore medicine, which can be taken internally and applied externally." ”

Chi An bowed his hand and thanked him: "Thank you little lady for the reward." ”

"Not necessarily."

Shi Xia was dressed in a light cyan robe, standing coldly at the top, and holding the shelf to the fullest: "Since the general was injured for His Royal Highness the Prince, then I should do to give the general two bottles of wound medicine." ”

Hearing this, Chi Anxin clenched the two bottles in a complicated manner, and finally turned into a long sigh.

"Your Highness is the king, and I am the minister, and it is natural for the ministers to be loyal to the king."

As soon as these words came out, Shi Xia hooked his lips and smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing that the moon was hanging on the branches, the annoying fine mosquitoes surrounded her again, and she said, "In this case, the general will take the soldiers to rest." ”

Speaking of this, Shi Xia paused, and continued in an accentuated tone: "However, the defense at the city gate must not be weakened, lest they take advantage of the loopholes. ”

"Little lady, rest assured, there are a thousand soldiers at the city gate who will take turns to guard it, and they will definitely not let go of a person with evil intentions."

"That's it, that's fine."

After a brief conversation, Shi Xia Mu sent Chi An to leave with the soldiers behind him.

Calm returned to the courtyard.

A slightly dry wind blew in, mixed with the tiny sound of mosquitoes shaking their wings, and Shi Xia smeared some white paste on his wrist, and turned into the bedroom.

'Squeak', when the door closed, completely cut off the disturbing sound.

Climbed onto the soft couch outside, and before he could pull the thin quilt and cover it, he heard Qi Changrong's half-awake voice behind the heavy bed curtains: "Has General Chi An been here?" ”

"Yes."

Shi Xia held her breath and concentrated, for fear of disturbing the person on the bed and messing up her dreams, and replied in a very low voice: "The person is already trapped in the cellar, just waiting for His Highness to interrogate tomorrow." ”

"Hmm."

With a faint response, the sound on the bed was completely silenced, leaving only a shallow and gentle breath, which passed into Shi Xia's ears through the heavy screen.

After waiting for a while, when he confirmed that nothing else would happen, Shi Xia carefully lay down on the soft couch beside him, closed his eyes and met Zhou Gong.

The next day, the beginning of Chen.

When the first rooster crowed, Shi Xia had already cleaned up the soft couch, and in high spirits, he personally fetched water to wash and dress Qi Changrong behind the screen.

When combing the bun, looking at the hairpin used to fix the jade crown on the stage, Shi Xia casually asked, "Does Your Highness want a hosta or a silver hairpin today?" ”

"Silver hairpin."

After half a cup of tea, Qi Changrong sat at the dining table, listening to the waiter Xia tell about last night's events, while eating, there was not even the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding on the table, only the waiter Xia replied crisply and cautiously.

"Only a wave of people were caught last night, a total of five, all of whom were captured by General Chi An, but General Chi An was also injured by them, but the slave had already taken out the antidote pill and gold sore medicine in time, and the injury should be fine."

Qi Changrong drank the last mouthful of porridge, and his voice was still calm and indifferent: "What did those people say?" ”

Those people are the people who are locked up in the cellar.

Hearing this, Shi Xia quickly reacted: "Just in case, I was fed to the soft tendons when I was caught last night, and now I haven't said a word." ”

As soon as the words fell, Qi Changrong casually threw the handkerchief that wiped his mouth on the table, got up and walked outside, and said, "Let's go, go and see who these people are who have been under the nose of the lonely person for so long." ”

Seeing this, Shi Xia hurriedly stepped to follow.

The cellar was very simple, not even the smallest cell of the Shangjing Criminal Department, it was extremely dim, and there was an inexplicable smell of water and mildew, even if you didn't do anything, it was a great torture to stay inside.

When Qi Changrong entered, the five of them were tied up in the corner.

And next to them, there were several spirited guards guarding them.

It was only then that Qi Changrong saw clearly why they couldn't speak-

Not only were his hands and feet tied with hemp rope, but even a large piece of rag was stuffed in his mouth.

There was a chair in the center of the cellar, Qi Changrong made it expressionlessly, gently touched his eyebrows with one hand, and asked casually: "Let, do you bring torture tools?" ”

Shi Xia thought for a while, looked at the surrounding environment, and replied, "Only fingers." ”

"Use it."

Shi Xia: "Yes. ”

Soon, the quilt was brought up, and the guards picked one of the five at random and tied it to the bench post, and both hands were fixed.

And the hammer was also placed between his fingers, ready to be tortured.

In the process, the man has been struggling, but because the effect of house arrest has not yet passed, even if he struggles, he is powerless.

Qi Changrong commanded slowly: "Take off the cloth in his mouth and check if there is any hidden poison." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately pulled out the cloth from the man's mouth, then pinched his mandible, carefully examined it, and when he confirmed that there was no hidden poison sac between his teeth, he shook his head towards Qi Changrong.

Seeing this, Qi Changrong smiled playfully: "It seems that you are very unprofessional, you have not even prepared the means to commit suicide, and you have never thought that you will fall into the hands of the enemy one day?" ”

Falling into the hands of an adversary, sometimes even death is a relief.

The scary thing is that you can't die if you want to.

Just like them are right now.

Hearing this, the eyes of the person tied to the wooden pillar were full of horror, but he gritted his teeth and refused to let go: "Prince Changrong, what do you want to do?" We are friendly troops sent by Yan State, you treat us so cruelly, if General Wei knows about it, General Wei will definitely seek justice for us! ”

"Look, what you say is reasonable, but it makes it a little difficult for Gu to start."

In the cold cellar, Qi Changrong smiled and said to the waiter Xia beside her, her smile was in stark contrast to the current environment, which made people's hearts feel even colder.

Out of the corner of her eye, when she saw a triumphant look in the man's eyes, she changed her voice and said, "In this case, it is better to call General Wei Xiao and let him come to recognize whether this person is a general in his army." ”

Hearing this, Shi Xia glanced at the person next to him.

The latter immediately understood and turned away.

Not long after, under the increasingly desperate gaze of the spies, the dazed Wei Heng was invited.

When he saw the scene in the cellar, Wei Heng was obviously stunned.

"His Royal Highness Prince Changrong, what are you doing here?"

Hearing this, Qi Changrong raised his chin towards the place where the spy was bound, and said nonchalantly: "General Wei Xiao, let's go and take a look to see if they are from your army." ”

Hearing this, Wei Heng approached for no reason, and when he saw the military uniforms they were wearing, he nodded without thinking: "It's my Yan army, why did Prince Changrong tie them up?" ”

When he said the last sentence, Wei Heng's tone already carried a hint of questioning, and there was already a faint anger.

At this time, the spy called out again: "General Wei save me, Prince Changrong is going to kill us!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a corner in the cellar suddenly moved, and it was only then that Wei Heng realized that there was more than one person arrested.

Suddenly, the anger in his eyes became even more obvious.

In the face of his anger, Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "General Wei's eyes are really not very good, so I went to the doctor to wash my eyes at this time." ”

"Prince Changrong, what does this mean?!"

Seeing that Wei Heng still didn't find anything wrong, Qi Changrong immediately gave up the opportunity to wake him up, and didn't want to continue to waste his tongue with stupid people, so he instructed Shi Xia: "You go and let General Wei Xiao see clearly what kind of person he is 'his own person' in his eyes." ”
