Chapter 292: Chu Yaocen and Feng Ling's daily life in southern Xinjiang
The eunuch handed over the edict to Yin Sheng, and explained what the emperor said, Yin Sheng's eyes became wet when he heard it, and he pulled the eunuch and said, "Father-in-law, I want to see my father." ”
The eunuch hurriedly waved his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really not okay, Your Majesty has explained, his disease is contagious, you are still so young, not as strong as an adult, if you are infected, what can you do?" ”
Yin Sheng said firmly: "I'm not afraid of getting sick, I'm not afraid of death, I want to see my father!" If I hadn't fulfilled my filial piety by my father's side at this time, then what was the use of me reading so much about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and honesty? ”
"But if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets sick and dies, what should the world of this Li country do?" The eunuch persuaded him bitterly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, now Your Majesty's only wish is that you can protect this country for him and not fall into the hands of thieves." The old slave thinks, His Royal Highness the Prince, you live well and hold this imperial power firmly in your hands, which is the best filial piety to Your Majesty. ”
Although Yin Sheng is young, he is not incomprehensible to these truths. He lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, raised his head crying and said, "Father-in-law, please go back and tell your father that his hard work Sheng'er understands that Sheng'er will definitely not live up to his expectations." ”
"Hey, His Royal Highness the Prince, that's right." The eunuch leaned over and patted the edict and said, "Go and hide this so that no one else can see it." ”
Yin Sheng nodded, then hurried over and hid the edict under his pillow.
Seeing Yin Sheng like this, the eunuch was also relieved, the emperor was old and had a son, and he was still such a smart and sensible child, and he also opened his eyes to heaven and continued to bless the country of Dali.
The eunuch then left.
After he left, Qingdi went in again, and saw that Yin Sheng's eyes were red, and he was a little worried about him, so he stepped forward and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yin Sheng shook his head and said to Qingdi: "Sister, I'm a little tired today, I want to go to bed early, you and Brother Jing should go back to the room first, okay?" ”
Qingdi saw that Yin Sheng was reluctant to say anything, and he couldn't ask anything more, so he nodded and said, "You haven't eaten dinner today, do you want to ask someone to prepare some food for you?" ”
Yin Sheng shook his head again: "I'm not hungry, when I'm hungry, I'll go and ask the kitchen to do it myself." ”
Qingdi couldn't force him, so he nodded and went out with Jing Yuanyin.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, Yin Sheng went over and closed the door, and then ran back quickly, rolled over to the bed at once, buried his face in the pillow and cried bitterly.
Qingdi and Jing Yuanyin hadn't gone too far, Jing Yuanyin heard Yin Sheng's faint cry, a little worried about him, and looked up and asked Qingdi: "Sister, what's wrong with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
Qingdi looked back at the locked door, and the only thing that could make Yin Sheng cry so loudly was probably the old emperor. The eunuch came over just now, and it is estimated that he also informed Yin Sheng that the old emperor is not in good health.
It's pitiful to think that he has to accept these things at such a young age.
She sighed, patted Jing Yuanyin's shoulder lightly, and said to him: "Everyone is sad and sad, let's leave him alone, let him cry quietly for a while." I guess I'll get better tomorrow. ”
"Hmm." Jing Yuanyin nodded worriedly.

The old emperor was depressed, his condition was deteriorating, and now even inhaling would make his chest hurt and tear apart. So he decided to speed up, do his unfinished business, and pave the way for Yin Sheng.
The first is Chu Yaocen. A few dishonest princes can still check and balance each other. And if Chu Yaocen is really a descendant of the Lu family and has the treasures in the mausoleum of the First Emperor, then he feels that he can't keep it.
Another can kill a thousand by mistake, and you can't let go of one. Now Feng Lingchen has not replied to the news, and he is not sure whether Chu Yaocen is a descendant of the Lu family, but he can't wait, he must act immediately and kill him.
What he said to Yin Jixuan that day was just to find a reason to expel him to southern Xinjiang. He didn't expect Yin Jihui to kill Chu Yaocen, but he was also afraid that once Yin Jixuan arrived in southern Xinjiang, he would unite with Chu Yaocen, which would definitely break the mutual balance between the three princes.
Therefore, to sum up, Chu Yaocen must die, and he must die now.
The old emperor wrote a secret letter overnight and sent someone to send it to Feng Lingchen urgently. But thinking of what Yin Jichen said, it is very likely that there is some unclear relationship between Feng Lingchen and Chu Yaocen, and Feng Lingchen may not do it immediately. So for the sake of insurance, the old emperor sent several killers to southern Xinjiang.
From the imperial city to southern Xinjiang, it only takes three days to reach it with the fastest horse without rest on the way. Give these killers another day to kill Chu Yaocen, and come back for another three days. That is, seven days later, he will definitely see Chu Yaocen's head.

Southern Xinjiang.
Chu Yaocen did receive a letter from Yin Jixuan, telling him to be careful that Yin Yongmin's people would come and kill him, but Chu Yaocen didn't take this reminder seriously. Now he is still like last time, living in the room full of mechanisms in the red line of the innkeeper of the inn, in order to absolutely ensure their safety, the entire inn is covered with all kinds of Gu that have disappeared.
Chu Yaocen has also learned a lot from Shadow recently. He originally thought that Gu was a worm, but he didn't know that Gu could also be soil, wood, gold, silver and bronze. I think he is so clever, and he has been tricked many times, but fortunately, he has excellent medical skills, and he doesn't want to kill him without a trace, so he can't die for the time being.
After Feng Lingchen came, he also lived in this inn, next door to Chu Yaocen's room. As soon as Chu Yaocen saw Feng Lingchen at that time, he expected that he was ordered to investigate him. But Chu Yaocen doesn't care, he hasn't started doing bad things yet, and he is not afraid of shadows.
Feng Lingchen dutifully stared at Chu Yaocen for a long time, but did not find anything wrong with him. And when Feng Lingchen knew that Chu Yaocen took out his silver taels to open a way in the Gaoligong Mountain, which was full of miasma and was full of dangers, and this good road was not only for his Chu family, but for everyone to use, Feng Lingchen also had respect for Chu Yaocen.
Friendships between men are established very quickly, or like-minded, or of the same age, or have a few glasses of wine, anyway, as long as they look at each other, they will cherish each other and become close friends. That's how it was with both of them. Feng Lingchen found that this hidden businessman was not only very similar to him politically, but also his personality was really unexpected.
His life experience, whether it is Lu Ming's posthumous son or not, is destined to be good. His mother is a princess of a country, but she is willing to be a merchant's concubine, but fortunately, this merchant is not an ordinary merchant, but an imperial merchant who is slightly more respected than ordinary merchants. It stands to reason that the son of an imperial merchant with a lot of money is pampered, but he found that Chu Yaocen did not have any characteristics of a noble son.
That teenage child, always put all kinds of Gu poison outside, Chu Yaocen came back with a black face several times, and when he came back, he looked for the antidote by himself, and detoxified himself, he would ask for help from others when he was really powerless, this kind of self-reliant and self-reliant character is not what a rich businessman's son should have. That kid seemed to be also a subordinate of his Chu family, after harming his master, he was very nervous every time at first, and kept apologizing to him, but Chu Yaocen laughed at every one of them, never punished him, and then continued to fall into the Gu after a few days. This kind of gentle and humble attitude is rare for a person who is a master.
The most unexpected thing about Feng Ling is that Chu Yaocen is funny in his bones, he can always make others laugh inadvertently, even when others are sad and sad, as long as he is there, he will immediately return to a positive attitude. He has been in the army for many years and has some very bad anger, but after getting along with Chu Yaocen, he has also decreased a lot. This kind of person is like a sun, unaware of himself, but always shining on others. If there is such a person in his army, then he is no longer afraid that when he loses the battle, the soldiers will collapse.
Today, Chu Yaocen seems to have been hit by some Gu again, and he was sitting in the courtyard at this time, and the child called Shadow Disappear was holding a silver needle and facing Chu Yaocen's arm, as if he wanted to pick this Gu out of his body.
The young man looked impatient, frowned and said to Chu Yaocen: "Second master, this is the last time, next time if you provoke those insects again, I won't save you!" ”
Chu Yaocen smiled slightly, patted the head of the shadow with his other hand, and was not angry at all, but comforted him: "Okay, don't worry about me, I have excellent medical skills, and I will be fine." ”
As soon as he heard Chu Yaocen say this, he stopped doing it, stabbed the needle into his arm, and said, "Okay, you have excellent medical skills, you can get this worm out yourself!" ”
Chu Yaocen frowned at the sudden needle sting, he slapped the table, and said to the shadow: "No trace, what's the matter with you?" I'm your father's master, how can you do this to me? ”
Shadow didn't care without a trace, and said: "Then you go back to find my father, I didn't sign a deed of sale for your Chu family, and you are not my master, hum~"
"You ......"
Feng Ling saw the two arguing and felt that it was really ridiculous, so he went over and said, "Yao Cen, what kind of Gu have you fallen into?" ”
Shadow replied for him: "It's not Gu this time, it's the second master who went to see how Lu Xiu was doing just now, but he was targeted by the ticks on the mountain." This kind of insect is annoying, it doesn't seem to bite, and no one else will notice it at first, but slowly he will drill into the human body, and after getting under the skin, it will suck blood and eat sperm, which is very scary. ”
Chu Yaocen smiled, raised his head and said to Feng Ling: "I didn't expect the danger on this Gaoligong Mountain to be unguardable, but it's a good thing that I was bitten by this tick today, and I have already sent people to prepare dense and sturdy clothes and veils for those who build roads to prevent ticks." ”
Shadow said helplessly: "Yes, so you let those people not work for half a day, every time you find any danger, you ask people not to work, but this work has been delayed until now, still wandering at the foot of the mountain, do you want to build a road for a lifetime?" ”
"You can't just leave it alone, right? In case the person invited by my Chu family dies, then I will have to pay for it. Chu Yaocen said seriously: "I'm so picky, am I willing to lose money?" ”
