Chapter 110: The Prince of the Western Tang Dynasty
Shen Luochen heard the door knock, and also came out of his room, and followed her into the room of the afterimage.
The afterimage was waiting anxiously in the house, and saw that Weiyang had been busy welcoming him recently, "Young master!" ”
Weiyang nodded and sat down with Shen Luochen.
"Shadow, inform the secret envoy, don't act rashly. Although Brother Xun is under house arrest now, there is no danger to his life, I guess, Nanzhao wants to launch a general attack, and he must use some unsightly means, and the person who can crack this method is Brother Xun. Weiyang said lightly.
Shen Luochen held the pot and poured some hot water for the three of them, but listened to it without interjecting, ignoring what they said.
The afterimage suddenly remembered something, and said to Weiyang in a mysterious whisper, "Young master, do you guess who the Xitang Boss is today?" ”
After taking two sips of water, Weiyang asked casually, "Who?" Is there anyone more powerful than Tang Feng? ”
Shen Luochen said lightly, "Zuo Qing!" ”
Weiyang choked on the water that he had never swallowed in his mouth, and coughed for a while.
Shen Luochen gently patted her on the back and looked at her funny.
"Ei, what's going on?" Weiyang finally took a breath and still coughed and asked.
"Young master, it's really Zuo Qing's son, and his subordinates can't say clearly, I checked this person before, but his background is too well hidden, and the only thing that can be found in the world is the identity of the flower thief!" The afterimage looked innocently at Weiyang.
Weiyang stood up on the table, slowly walked to the window and looked out, there was no movement for a long time, and he didn't even breathe.
The afterimage looked at Shen Luochen, and Shen Luochen shook his head.
Weiyang carefully searched for all the information related to Zuo Qing in his mind: he was indeed the flower thief himself, so what was his purpose in pretending to be a flower thief and infiltrating Dongchu? He is indeed inferior to his own martial arts, but he is cautious and very hidden, even the Dragon Messenger can't find out the slightest bit of information, is it intentional for him to approach himself, is it really an accident?
I simply thought about the life legend of the prince of the Western Tang Dynasty: raised in the folk since childhood, no one knows the true face of the prince, he was born as the king of Yi, the wife of the lord of the Western Tang Dynasty, and only gave birth to a son and a daughter......
I couldn't help but think again, in the past, the looseness of Wuling City, if Zuo Qing thought that it would be very easy to take Wuling City together, why didn't he do it?
All kinds of complicated things, Weiyang thought impatiently.
Shen Luochen sensed that her breath was wrong, got up and walked to the window, took her hand and persuaded: "Go to sleep, if you have something to do, let's talk about it tomorrow, you are weak, it is really not good for the child." ”
The afterimage opened the door, and after sending the two out of the house, he went back to the house to change into night clothes and jumped out of the back window.
Shen Luochen sent Weiyang into the outer hall and retreated, and closed the door for her before returning to his room to sleep.
Weiyang took off her shoes and went to bed, still holding the water bladder that Hualu had filled her earlier, and her face was closed and her eyes were closed, thinking about things.
Two days passed in a trance.
On this day, the afterimage reported that the battle broke out again in Qixia, and Nanzhao came to attack, injuring many people in a row, all of whom were delirious, and cut people when they saw them like crazy.
"Let's go and explore, if my guess is right, I think this matter must be inextricably linked to Brother Xun's ban." Weiyang's face turned cold, and he commanded in a deep voice.
For three days in a row, although Nanzhao died many people in the hands of the Eastern Chu soldiers, but the internal strife in the Eastern Chu camp had started, and some people deliberately spread rumors, saying that the Eastern Chu people had alarmed the gods of Nanzhao, and everyone here had to die.
Weiyang didn't believe in these ghosts and gods, so he ordered the afterimage to investigate again, and he must find out the matter clearly.
The next day, the Western Tang War Book came again, and Qin Yan had to close Qixia Pass to concentrate on dealing with the Western Tang soldiers. However, the edicts had already bullied the pass, and the soldiers guarding the pass fell down one after another, and the people were panicked.
Taking advantage of Qin Yan's absence in the camp, Weiyang and Shen Luochen entered the Eastern Chu barracks along with Qi Yan.
Shen Luochen went through the pulses of those who had been settled down by Qin Yan with medicine, and found that all the acupuncture points in the body were opened, and the blood flowed wantonly like the water of a river, causing the body to be extremely excited, and it was not controlled at all.
"There were no external injuries." Qi Yan looked at the person a few times before confirming.
"I can't tell what kind of medicine it is, but it's not a ghost. Although my brother's medical skills are not as good as mine, he must have known that there was something going on in this kind of pulse. Shen Luochen withdrew his hand and urged Weiyang to go out quickly and not stay here for a long time.
The three of them came out to find their way to the gate and checked it again, and Nanzhao's camp tent was already a few hundred meters below the pass.
"It's so arrogant, hateful!" Qi Yan pounded the city wall with hatred, holding back a wave of anger in his chest.
Weiyang had the heart to go to the edict camp, and he also knew that Shen Luochen would not allow it, and his eyes were as black as a storm.
The three of them returned to Wuling City.
Coming from afar, before arriving at Qingqi Winery, I saw Hualu sitting alone on the threshold in a daze.
Weiyang walked a few steps over and pulled her up, flicked her skirt to the dust, and asked her gently, "Why are you sitting here, go upstairs." ”
Just in front of and behind Weiyang, Hualu followed Weiyang with her nose and sniffed carefully, "Where did my sister get the heartless grass?" Although this thing is non-venomous, it can attract mosquitoes, where is the sachet I gave you earlier, remember to save you from being bitten. ”
Weiyang suddenly stopped, looked at Hua Lu and asked, "Lu'er, you said that heartless grass can attract insect bites, what will happen to the person who is bitten?" ”
Flowerdew scratched her head and said, "It's not much, and it doesn't hurt much if you bite it." As he spoke, he pulled Weiyang into the door, "The heartless grass is very difficult to find, the small one is lying on the ground, I planted some in the valley, although this thing can relieve excessive pain, it can make people excited, and even fake death." ”
"Will you be able to wake up? How long does it take to wake up? Weiyang asked curiously.
Hua Lu tilted her head and thought about it, "I don't know, I haven't tried it, I heard from Brother Xun." ”
"Is there an antidote?"
Blossom shook her head, and then nodded again.
Weiyang looked at her amusedly.
"It's something that can be solved, but it's even rarer, and it's an ice silkworm that grows in the snow layer that doesn't melt all year round. The ice silkworm itself is also poisonous, cold poison. Hua Lu shook her shoulders and neck exaggeratedly.
Weiyang glanced back at Shen Luochen, saw him nodding, and went upstairs with his own hand with Hualu.
Shen Luochen went out of the city again and went to the gate.
Shen Luochen had only heard of these two things but had never seen them, and there were also records in ancient books, but the strange things in the world could only be met by fate, and he did not regret it.
Re-entering the previous tent, I searched all the exposed skin of one of them, only to find a red spot the size of a pinpoint on the side of the sideburns, and turned over a few more people, or the back of the hand or the neck, there were such small pores, if it wasn't for the flower dew to say, no one would have thought of it.
Shen Luochen did not return to Wuling City, and went straight west to the Plains Battlefield.
After listening to Shen Luochen's words, Qin Yan's inner anxiety calmed down a little, just find the cause of the disease, no matter how difficult it is, I am afraid that I have the heart to do it, not to mention that it is just a silkworm.
At this time, Tang Feng called Qin Yan's name in front of the formation, and asked for a break from the battle.
"Senior brother, as the head coach, you only fight against the head coach, and I will fight this battle." Shen Luochen tightened his belt with the white robe on his body as he spoke, and reached out to Jiang Tao to ask for a horse.
A streamer flashed in Qin Yan's eyes in an instant, "Jiang Tao, prepare a horse for Luo Chen!" Then he threw his Ice Spirit Sword at Shen Luochen.
Shen Luochen raised his arm and took the Ice Spirit Sword firmly in his hand, and at the same time flew down on the horse's back, lowered his body and patted the horse at a gallop, rushing to the front of the formation before the horse looked at the other party.
"In Xia Shen Luochen, I haven't consulted ...... yet"
Tang Feng is a young talent, and he thinks that there are not many people who can beat him in this world, and his appearance is extremely outstanding, so he is somewhat proud in his heart. But now that such a character has been killed from the Dongchu camp, he is two years older than himself, and his appearance and temperament are above him.
"Tang Feng is also! Dare to ask Gongzi which family of Dongchu is a descendant, strange and tight! ”
Shen Luochen bent the corners of his mouth slightly, "I am General Qin's junior disciple, but I am a native of the countryside, not a disciple of a family. ”
His smile seemed to be shocking, and even the man was dazzled by it. Shen Luochen's heart was pure, when the world was proud of his family, he was completely unaffected, and he didn't know that there was such a world.
Tang Feng was surprised by his response, so he had to clench his fists, "Offended!" Then he slapped his horse forward and struck with his sword.
Shen Luochen kicked the horse and whirled, and after only half a circle, the sword in his hand slashed towards the other party, and he shot neatly without the slightest hesitation.
Tang Feng rarely encounters strong enemies, so he deals with it wholeheartedly; And Shen Luochen's first expedition was unfamiliar, either in battle or on horse. Fortunately, he is calm and not impatient. The two of them fought vigorously, until the sky was completely dark, and it ended with Shen Luochen winning a move, and they each slapped their horses and returned to the camp.
Qin Yan sighed secretly and took the sword handed over by Shen Luochen, "Senior brother went back to the city to rest, today there is Senior Brother Lao to make a move, I am grateful for my brother." ”
Shen Luochen knew what he was thinking when he looked at the color on Qin Yan's face, smiled slightly, turned around and left.
After he left, Qin Yan ordered the troops to be collected, and thought about it while closing it to Qixia: Shen Luochen is soft-hearted in the end, and he is only willing to defeat the other party's one move, if he follows his martial arts, he can win a big victory in a hundred moves. This is his original character, and he refuses to fight with anyone; This is also the quality he values the most, but his position determines that he must be competitive in order to be the commander of Dongchu, because he has no way out.
When he returned to the camp, he went directly to the wounded and sick camp where the plotted soldiers were placed, and carefully checked it according to Shen Luochen's words, although he couldn't see any emotion on his face, the anger in his eyes couldn't be stopped.
He walked back to his camp with his hands on his back, and before he could wash, he called Jiang Tao in, and ordered: "Go, let Wei Xiangdong come to see him immediately!" ”
Jiang Tao passed the word in time, he rode his horse and checked it again, and after a few words, he returned to the camp again, and Lu Shaoqian was already waiting outside his camp tent.
The front and rear feet entered the camp.
"How's it happening to what I asked you to look into?" Qin Yan asked Jiang Tao to take off his armor.
Lu Shaoqian respectfully bowed, "General, the last general is incompetent!" The whereabouts of the black-clothed men with strong martial arts were confused, and after helping Wuling defend the city that day, they retreated very simply, leaving no trace. ”
Qin Yan paced a few steps, turned to look at Lu Shaoqian, and said in a low voice, "General Ben won't come to embarrass you, just pay attention to it and check it again, I want you to do one more thing today." ”
Lu Shaoqian saluted again: "General, please command!" ”
"There is a place in the southwest of Lingshan Yuxue Peak, where there is an ice silkworm under the thousand-year-old snow layer, which can relieve the poison of the edicts. You go and pick some suitable people first, not too many, and Jiang Tao will send you some application objects later. Qin Yan's eyes were dark, and he was not angry.
Lu Shaoqian took the order, went out of the camp, and according to Qin Yan's instructions, he went to select the available people, needless to say.
Let's say that Qin Yan sat behind the case, drew the path of Lingshan on the map, and drew the pattern of the ice silkworm and handed it to Jiang Tao, asking him to send it to Lu Shaoqian.
That night, Lu Shaoqian led five people with a guide to quietly go south, bypassing the Nanzhao camp and sliding down the cliff further west.
That night, the people in the wounded camp who were originally controlled by Qin Yan with drugs suddenly woke up, scattered into the camp, beat people when they saw them, and bite people when they met them, and by the time Qin Yan knew about it, more than 1,000 people had been injured.
That night, a silver-red pale smoke rose from the pass, and the smoke shifted diagonally to the north, flying over the wall and drifting into the pass when everyone was unconscious, light and tasteless.
That night, the Nanzhao National Division set up a large array under the pass to lure Qin Yan into the battle with an antidote.
That night, the afterimage led Cangxin, Feng Sacrifice, and Qingjin to meet him in armor.
Weiyang took away all the slowness, sat around a table, and watched her plan in her hand, not hearing a word.
Everyone just stared at her hand and didn't ask questions, waiting for her to arrange the troops, each of them picked up a purple bamboo calculation chip and put it in front of their eyes, and placed it side by side with their own tokens.
Weiyang's face was rarely solemn, and he picked up everyone's Zizhu calculation chips again and put them in his own calculation chips, lined up one after another, and everyone could see that they understood in their hearts, and after each while, they all received a calculation chip, and they were not messed up.
It wasn't until dawn that everyone packed up their tokens and quietly went out of the back building to the north, back to the village outside the city.
Weiyang's hand was already as cold as a piece of ice, and he quietly climbed into bed, untied Hualu's acupoint and slowly fell asleep.
Shen Luochen didn't sleep all night, he didn't turn the page after reading the book in his hand all night, he knew that Weiyang's identity was not simple, but he didn't know how simple it was; He didn't know anything about the world, he was just worried about Weiyang's body, and it wasn't until she went back to her room that he put the book on the table and fell asleep.
Weiyang was still sleeping when the afterimage came back, and he lingered outside Weiyang's window for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to disturb her sleep.
"Shadow? Come in! Weiyang called out in a dumb throat.
The afterimage pushed the door in, "Young master, I was attacked by Nanzhao last night with smoke, and tens of thousands of people were unconscious, and it has become a mess." He said worriedly.
Weiyang pushed the pillow and got up, and took the robe handed by the afterimage, "Lu'er, she knows some of Nanzhao's methods, you take her to close it and take a look, maybe it can be of some use." ”
The remnant turned around and was about to walk out.
"Wait, let's go quietly at night." Weiyang said that he put on his robe and shoes and got out of bed, washed himself and went out of the inner room to the outer hall, the meal had been set, and Hualu was walking carefully with a pottery urn.
