Chapter 23: Face to face
The morning sun was sprinkled all over, and on the withered yellow grass in late autumn, the two armies of Qi and Chu were camping in a neat and orderly manner.
In the medical hall, Qi Xuanyu wore a thick fox fur cloak, a hood, and a face scarf, and walked out of the room surrounded by palace people.
Here, there are representatives of the sergeants who are about to return to Qi to resign.
According to the arrangement of Father-in-law Mu, the casualties in the Qi army, as well as the only son in the family, and those with wives and children, were all included in the list of returning to Qi. The 1,500 men will be able to return this morning. They originally thought that they would escort Qi Xuanyu to the palace of Chu and wait for Qi Xuanyu and the eldest princess to return to Qi after their marriage, but they didn't expect to be able to go back so soon, they were a little excited and a little uneasy.
"Your Highness, look!" Lu Zhanyi, who was following Ma Huanting, stood not far away and said, "This King Yu gathered the guards early in the morning, there must be a problem." β
"Shut up!" Ma Wanting scolded: "This princess said, make everything clear to your face, and don't say bad things behind your back at any time!" β
"Good!" Dongfang Qiyang, who was standing next to Lu Zhan, continued: "The old man is going to ask, His Highness is not allowed to protect his short!" β
Ma Huanting's face sank and she didn't speak.
Dongfang Qiyang walked over, and Lu Zhanyi followed.
Seeing that the two leaders who attacked the camp yesterday came over with murderous faces, the representatives of the Qi army suddenly formed a circle and protected Qi Xuanyu in the middle.
Dongfang Qiyang sneered: "What's the matter? Are you going to attack the old man again?"
"Stand down!" Qi Yuefeng said lightly: "All retreat!" β
Qi Jun took a step back, and the circle of protecting Qi Xuanyu was even smaller.
Dongfang Qiyang stepped forward and sneered: "His Royal Highness King Yu! May I ask you General Qi? β
"Sir, do you mean Qi Yuefeng?"
"That's right!" Dongfang Qiyang said menacingly: "He led people to attack the old man!" Does Your Highness know? β
Qi Xuanyu gently tightened the fox fur cloak and said, "This is a misunderstanding!" β
"Misunderstanding?" Dongfang Qiyang sneered: "What about others? Call him out! β
"This king arranged for him to escort the tragic death of the palace people back, and he left the night before!"
"Really?" Dongfang Qiyang sneered: "So he absconded in fear of crime?" β
Lu Zhanyi also stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness King Yu! Don't you think it's ridiculous that you sent a general to escort a dozen corpses back? β
"The dead are great!" Qi Xuanyu saw Ma Huanting coming over slowly, and stretched out his hand to take off the face towel: "Besides, since this king has come to Chu State, he doesn't need the guards of Qi State." And then there's ....."
"What's it?" Lu Zhanyi said unrelentingly: "You lie to our Highness with clever words, but you can't fool me!" Qi Yuefeng attacked Mr. Dongfang first, and visited the Assassin later, can you tell me what is his relationship with the Assassin? Why visit the Assassins? Or did you send that assassin at all? The poison is also yours! β
As Lu Zhan spoke, he walked forward aggressively, and Qi Xuanyu and the Qi State sergeant had to retreat step by step.
Lu Zhan couldn't help but feel even more energetic when he saw Qi Xuanyu retreating: "In vain, our Highness still thinks you are a good person, now give you a chance to make it clear in person, maybe our Highness can spare you from dying!" β
Seeing that Qi Xuanyu was forced to retreat by Lu Zhanyi, Ma Huanting couldn't help but shout: "Lu Zhanyi! Shut up! β
"Your Highness!" Dongfang Qiyang sneered: "Didn't you say yes, what do you have to ask in person?" Why is it short? β
"I didn't!" Ma Wanting couldn't help but be anxious: "Since you are asking clearly, you also give His Royal Highness King Yu a chance to speak!" You guys are so aggressive, what does he say? β
"Good!" Dongfang Qiyang raised his voice and said, "Your Royal Highness King Yu, you can first tell me why you sent Qi Yuefeng away!" It's still sneaky in the middle of the night! β
Qi Xuanyu stood firm, looked at Ma Huanting, and saw that she was expressionless, and couldn't help laughing: "This is going to ask Mr. Dongfang!" β
"Ask me?" Dongfang Qiyang sneered: "Ask me what to do?" β
"You broke the tendons of the Assassins?" Qi Xuanyu stared at Dongfang Qiyang and said, "If this king is not mistaken, yesterday you said that the assassin found the wrong person!" You didn't heal his fiancΓ©e at all! Since it was a misunderstanding, and he didn't hurt you, why are you so vicious? His fiancΓ©e is dead, it's pitiful enough, why do you let him live and die? It is said that the heart of the healer's parents, as a miracle doctor, why are you so vicious? β
Dongfang Qiyang's face sank and said: "He deserves to die if he stabs the old man!" β
"yes!" Qi Xuanyu shook his head: "General Qi was afraid of your revenge, so he begged this king to let him go." At that time, when he heard that an Assassin was coming, he led the men forward, mistaking him for an Assassin. Knowing that he was wrong, he thought about making amends to his husband, but he didn't dare to see the assassin's tragic situation! β
"Ridiculous!" Dongfang Qiyang sarcastically said: "At that time, the assassins had already been arrested, and it was General Qi who shouted to keep people under the knife!" How to treat the old man as an assassin! β
Qi Xuanyu sighed: "He hasn't seen Mr., and he hasn't seen an assassin!" β
"You quibble!" As soon as Lu Zhan saw Dongfang Qiyang's downfall, he couldn't help but say: "It's obviously the poison of the assassin you sent!" β
"I'm poisoned?" Qi Xuanyu looked at Ma Huanting with an innocent face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, do you also believe that Xuanyu can be poisoned?" The dead are all my palace people, they have followed me since childhood, even if I die, it will not harm them! β
"Who knows!" Lu Zhanyi didn't give up: "Maybe you're using bitter meat tricks!" β
"Enough!" Ma Huanting roared angrily: "Don't say it again if there is no evidence!" β
"Proof!" Lu Zhan looked at Qi Xuanyu one by one: "Your Highness, this King Yu is the evidence!" β
"What do you mean!" Ma Wanting said impatiently.
"Wasn't he very sick before?" Lu Zhanyi felt that he was too careless, yesterday Qi Xuanyu was able to go shopping with the eldest princess for a long time, and there was no sign of coughing and wheezing: "Look at him now, isn't it good?" β
When Lu Zhanyi said this, she immediately hit Ma Huanting's backscales, why was she so stupid, how could she let Lu Zhanyi and Dongfang Qiyang come to ask Qi Xuanyu. Why can't she trust him! How disappointed Qi Xuanyu must be in her! It was she who single-handedly ruined his innocent heart! It's all her fault!
Seeing that the eldest princess didn't speak, Dongfang Qiyang also mocked: "That's right! Didn't His Royal Highness ask the old man to treat this prince before? What's wrong with him? Why don't you treat him in front of everyone? β
"Shut up!" Ma Huanting was annoyed and angry: "Go back!" Don't say a word more! β
"Your Highness the Princess!" Dongfang Qiyang didn't care about Ma Huanting's annoyance, but he didn't smile and said, "Why is it too short at this time?" Everybody is watching! β
"That's it!" Lu Zhan could debunk Qi Xuanyu's pretending to be sick at a glance, and he didn't care if Ma Wanting was angry and said loudly: "Your Highness just said that you want to show evidence!" Even if we can't find evidence of poisoning, then His Royal Highness King Yu's illness is with Mr. Dongfang, and we will know it at the first test! If His Royal Highness wants to plug everyone's mouths, let Mr. Dongfang show it to King Yu. He saw that Ma Huanting was angry and continued: "Besides, Mr. Dongfang is just taking the pulse, if there is a disease, he will be cured, and His Highness will be relieved if he is not sick!" β
