Chapter 17: The General
After the hunting conference, Situ and I returned to the palace, after a few days, the news from the outside gradually re-transmitted to the palace, I understood why Situ had this honor to accompany the real reason, because, after King Xuan of Qi returned to China, the border suddenly increased the number of troops, and the soldiers and horses were fierce, a menacing appearance, the Western Chu government and the opposition were shocked, ready to send troops to prepare.
I think, maybe the emperor is not a stupid lord, he has noticed it early in the morning, otherwise he would not suddenly be pampered by Situ, but I am afraid that I also remembered the benefits of General Situ, needless to say, the time for General Situ to go out on the expedition has come, pitiful, I think of the blood flowing on the battlefield, and I thought, fortunately, I am not a man, all these eight strokes can't hit me......
I secretly thought to myself, didn't our emperor, deduct a proton from others? Afraid of what? Could it be that the proton was also rescued? Not easy, right?
I don't know why, I remembered that the jade designed by me, the last time I went to the jade workshop, it was not taken away, the jade workshop has rules, after the jade is not taken away, after a while, it becomes an ownerless thing, but let me get five thousand taels of silver for nothing.
Sure enough, the news of the war came intermittently from the frontier within a month, the emperor in order to comfort the frontier soldiers, let the women in the deep palace sew robes and clothes to the battlefield, all the use in the palace has been cut a lot, it seems that the border war is not going well, every time the concubines in the palace see the emperor, their faces are heavy, as if they will be contagious, even the low-level palace maids are full of heavy faces, they don't dare to speak, nod and pass, the dark clouds are thick, the wind and rain are coming, the air pressure in the palace can not be lower, I don't dare to run outside the palace casually, now it's not as good as usual, everyone's mood is not very good, and one is careless, and it has become a punching bag for a nobleman, which is not very good.
Situ's worry overflowed on his face, and he asked me all day long: "You say, will Daddy do anything?" Will Daddy come back? ”
I had to force my composure and comfort her: "Don't be afraid, your father is strong in martial arts, he can't beat him, it's still okay to run back!" ”
I have to admit that I am not very good at comforting people, in modern times I have the painful experience of coaxing a little doll in the neighbor who cries quietly, and when I say this, she is even more worried, pulls my sleeve, and almost cries: "Huiru, Master is gone, what should I do?" What to do? ”
Actually, I didn't have much hope for this war, since my father was killed in the dark, I knew that Daqi would do it sooner or later, and even I sometimes wondered if it was someone from Daqi who sent someone to assassinate my father? They have long known that it was my cheap dad who marched and fought in the First World War in Jiangnan? But what is even more puzzling is that our emperor of Xichu has been silent about this matter......
However, I think it is impossible for Great Qi to annex Western Chu, because there is still a Great Liang State to the east of it, which is a typical situation of the Three Kingdoms, and no one will break the balance too quickly, because everyone is afraid that the other two countries will join forces.
In this battle, according to my experience of reading a lot of historical novels, at most, the vitality of Western Chu was greatly damaged, and the land was ceded and reparated. Thinking of this, I'm a little worried, there will always be someone responsible for this war, General Situ, what kind of result will he get? What are the consequences for his daughter? Importantly, will it involve me? You see, am I being extremely selfish?
I decided, I had to prepare early, so I went out of the palace again, and sold a lot of medicinal materials, in the Xichu Palace, the control of medicinal materials is still not too strict, as long as you don't feed poison into people's mouths, people don't care about you very much.
My cheap dad is not only a martial arts genius, but also extremely proficient in practicing medicine and medicine, although I don't like to learn martial arts, but I have studied these thoroughly, and there is a trend of being blue.
I prepared some medicine for conditioning and healing, and after Xiao Fuzi inadvertently used a small stone to make the palace maid next to Concubine Xian Niangniang fall and break her hand bones, I kindly gave it to her, of course, this medicinal material is very effective, and the hand bones heal very quickly, so fast that it attracted the attention of Concubine Xian Niangniang......
Since the last time I competed at the banquet, I have pondered repeatedly, and I feel that a person who makes the emperor rely on so much, even if she may not be the main person who manipulates the killer group, but an insider, but once she has a relationship with the killer, how can she not know martial arts? The only possibility is that her martial arts may be abolished for some reason, and I still think badly, could it be that the emperor secretly drugged her?
Concubine Xian Niangniang really sent someone to me and asked me to treat her old illness, and I realized that my guess was true, her martial arts were really abolished, and she didn't hope that I could restore her martial arts, but just asked me to heal the injuries on her hands.
Seriously, if I were to restore her martial arts, I really didn't know what to do, but curing her hand problems was my forte.
Her hands are getting better and better day by day, she is facing me, and her smile is getting bigger and bigger, I think, she may also have hope in her heart, hoping that I maybe, maybe I will restore her martial arts? As long as I have a use value, I think that if something happens in the future, my little life will be saved.
I gave her medicine every few days, and talked to her about medicine, it seems that she is also a person who is proficient in medical science, but she was still talked about one by one, she didn't tell me how her martial arts were wasted, and I didn't ask, I went to talk to her about the clouds and mountains and fog, which made her heart go up and down, both hope and fear of disappointment.
Despite all the preparations, the day came a little too fast, and the Great Qi quickly defeated Western Chu, General Situ lost more than half of his 100,000 soldiers, and even the Great General was wounded by an arrow and was carried back to his home.
The emperor was furious, and instead of a word of comfort, he issued a guilty edict and put the general under house arrest and was not allowed to go out......
The palace gate is deep, we can't get the news, the palace maids and eunuchs who used to be smiling are now afraid to see the people of Zining Palace, the food and clothing in the palace are getting worse and worse, and the faces of everyone in the palace have become so fast, so that I, a modern traveler who is used to seeing the cold of the world, feel cold in my heart, and later, the people of Zining Palace are not allowed to go out casually, except for the people I brought from the General's Mansion, basically, the palace maids of Zining Palace have been transferred away by the eunuchs for various reasons, even Xiaofuzi, I was also taken away involuntarily.
Only every night, in the dead of night, did he come to me secretly and sit with me.
Maybe my relationship with the ladies of the father-in-law and palace is usually okay, and they didn't embarrass me much, but they didn't allow me to go out with Situ.
I know that all this is just the beginning, and I am afraid that the bigger storm is still to come.
