Chapter Seventy-One: Uninvited

Updated: >

In the face of everyone's doubts, Tu Qitang spread his hands disapprovingly, and said lightly: "Maybe I have tasted all kinds of poisons since I was a child, and this poison has no effect on me."

Everyone was silent, everyone knew that the royal family dispute was extremely cruel, but they didn't expect to let go of even a child. They don't know much about the Sabbath dynasty, which had a long and prosperous history, and later the Persian royal family was wiped out by other tribal leaders and renamed the Sabbath dynasty. Although the names have changed, in the final analysis, they are all Persians.

The replacement of the old and new forces is always inevitable to compete for power, not only the people at the top of the power fight to the death, but their subordinates and even civilians have never stopped fighting layer by layer. The remnants of the Persian royal family looked forward to the day when they would regain the throne, and the existing Sabbatical royal family would not give up the benefits to others anyway.

An heir to the throne like Tu Qitang has to say that he is a thorn in the side of his opponent who wants to pull it out at any time, I am afraid that not only him, as long as he is the heir of the rest royal family, he has been assassinated or is facing death threats. Now it seems that although Tu Qitang is a little more frivolous and coquettish, it is a miracle that he has survived until now, and it is very good that he is not psychopathic.

No wonder he has such profound skills at a young age, it turns out that he has undergone unimaginable trials for ordinary people since he was born in order to save his life.

Compared with the Han Dynasty thousands of miles away, the royal family has an inviolable majesty, and the royal heir is protected in every detail, and even a fly does not want to get close, let alone someone with other intentions. Of course, the war in which the country is in turmoil is another story. But in any case, the political power and ruling institutions of the Western Regions countries are far less perfect than those of the Great Han, and the heirs to the throne have always been the primary target of the opponent's attempt to eradicate them, especially the more powerful the country.

For example, the Xiongnu, there were countless women in the Xiongnu Shan Yu, and the sons of Shan Yu could almost form a battalion, but in the end only a few remained. Some died at a young age, some died on the battlefield, some became the victims of royal struggles, and so on, and there are so many examples that their lives are fragile.

The Xiongnu princess Xu Qige married the relatively stable Wusun, and never went back, no one knows what her brother's situation is, I'm afraid even she doesn't know. She only knew that her mother had fallen out of favor, and that her father had already left their mother and daughter behind. She is very smart, she knows how to grasp everything that exists, so she holds Jun Su Mi firmly in her hands and sits firmly in her position as Mrs. Wusun Zuo. For her, this is the best place to be

Anxi is also a powerful country in the Western Regions, but its geographical location is remote, and the Huns are beyond the reach of the whip if they want to get involved, and even if they are hard, they may not be able to bargain. The resting heavy cavalry team was born invincible, but I am afraid that the Han cavalry is not an opponent, the Huns are not stupid, he will not fight a battle that he is not sure of, and it is better to keep the energy to deal with the place where he can eat.

Therefore, unlike other countries, the Huns did not pose much threat to it, and it was too lazy to calculate others, so it was busy enough to fight in the nest. The national conditions of each country are different, and Liu Ye and others can only say that they know very little about rest, and it is impossible to understand the true situation of Tu Qitang.

Tu Qitang's faint tone told his childhood experience, Liu Ye and Qing Ling couldn't help but feel sympathy, even Shizhong and Chang Hui frowned, Weng Guimi, as the king of Wusun Zuoxian, was unimaginable.

Qing Ling and Tu Qitang talked "heart-to-heart", and the distance was invisibly shortened, looking at his indifferent appearance, he only smiled as a forced smile, and comforted: "Fortunately, you have survived, don't think about the past anymore." ”

Tu Qitang was stunned, looked at her serious appearance, and smiled back and forth: "Oh my God, aren't you sympathetic to me, I'm living well, where do you need sympathy haha, this bit of poison can't kill me, you have that time, it's better to go and see the entourage who fell to the ground and cure them as soon as possible, otherwise, the princess won't be able to hurry." ”

Qing Ling pouted angrily: "Really, a guy who doesn't know the hearts of good people, you are not afraid of poison, you have high martial arts, my concern is just too much." Well, you don't need me to help you detoxify, do you, and don't come to me later. ”

"Don't worry, I don't ask you, I don't care about the time, and I don't mind being delayed here for a few days, but I can't let the princess sleep in the mountains and fields to cure them as soon as possible, hurry up early, go, go"

Tu Qitang still didn't care about it, Qing Ling glared at him, and left angrily, seeing the entourage rolling all over the ground, he muttered to himself: "There are so many people, my little antidote is definitely not enough, it's bad, it's good if my grandfather is here"

Shi Zhong was very worried about this, now this place, there is no village in front of it, there is no shop in the back, even if you hurry to the nearest town, it will be evening. Who will escort the princess away from these entourages and can't abandon them, Qing Ling's strength alone is limited, and he needs at least two helpers

Liu Ye was with Weng Guimi, but he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable, and he was unwilling to give Weng Guimi this opportunity. Tu Qitang has always been unreassuring, if Liu Ye is handed over to him to take care of, it is simply a fantasy.

Shi Zhong hesitated again and again, and asked: "Princess, it should be too late to rush to the town for the night now, why don't you let General Chang send you there, I will stay and take care of them, Qing Ling is in need, and it is good to help." ”

"No, I'll wait for you to go." Liu Ye didn't think about it, and said directly, "We said okay, no matter what the situation, everyone will advance and retreat together, and I will stay to help, if I can't catch up, I will spend the night in the car." ”

"But, princess," Shizhong was embarrassed to let her suffer.

Liu Ye shook his head and smiled: "Master, let's just decide, you go and see what Qingling needs, at least I can help take care of the poisoned person." ”

"Well said, worthy of being my woman." Tu Qitang smiled proudly, and met Chang Hui's two light blades that could kill people, and unnaturally modified them slightly, "Well, the woman I like"

Weng Guimi glanced at him faintly, and walked over with the master to help Qing Ling.

A few of the retinue were not poisoned, and they assisted Liu Ye and Chang Hui in taking care of their unconscious companions. People who drank the river water and were poisoned fell into coma one after another, began to be delirious, and even foamed at the mouth, turned blue, and had convulsions of their hands and feet.

The bottle of antidote that Qing Ling carried with her could only be given to people with severe poisoning symptoms first, and she couldn't tell what kind of poison was in the river water and whether it would be fatal. Seeing that the antidote was about to run out, Qingling was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't wait to put on his wings and fly to the palace to bring back his grandfather.

"Master Shi, what should I do, the antidote is not enough" Qing Ling pulled Shi Zhong aside and shook a few antidote pills in the bottle.

"Do you know the recipe for the antidote is too late to buy it or, there are herbs on the nearby mountains" Shi Zhong was worried that the antidote was not enough, and he bit his lip in embarrassment, "I have already sent someone to chase the little sister-in-law and ask her to carry a letter to the old gourd, it is best if he can come in time, but before that, you must find a way to save them"

Qingling suddenly felt that the task was arduous, and she regretted that she didn't study hard with her grandfather, she was not sure in her heart, but she couldn't let the teacher down, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll do my best." ”

Qingling took Chang Hui up the mountain to collect medicine, although he was not sure of curing them, it was good to temporarily control the spread of the toxin, and it would be a day to delay it, and when his grandfather arrived, these people would be saved.

Liu Ye looked at the entourage who were moaning in pain, wanting to help them, but he was powerless, and his eyes were red in a hurry. She has long understood that tears can't solve anything, but how can she not be sad to see the lives of her companions who get along day and night hanging by a thread.

Weng Guimi's eyes never left her, but she was accompanied by Tu Qitang, and he wanted to say something comforting, but Tu Qitang spoke more than him.

"Princess, don't worry, they'll be fine. You see, I also drank river water, but I didn't feel the slightest, even if my body has adapted to all kinds of toxins, it is impossible to resist the poison, it can be seen, this poison is not enough to kill, everyone's physique is different, the symptoms of poisoning are different, in fact, people themselves have the ability to save themselves, don't look at them are so painful now, and when the toxicity is over, it will be fine later. ”

"Really" Liu Ye could only believe what he said, "they're all going to be fine, right?"

"Yes, it would. You have done a lot of credit for helping the refugees rebuild their homes, and God can't bear to embarrass them, even if it is for your sake. As he spoke, Tu Qitang tentatively patted her on the shoulder, seeing that she did not resist, and hugged her in his arms.

"Hey, take away your thief's claws" Chang Hui, who appeared at some point, shouted unceremoniously, not saving any face for Tu Qitang at all.

Tu Qitang let go of his hand awkwardly, he was not afraid of anyone, but he didn't want to leave Liu Ye with the impression of frivolity. He explained without three hundred taels of silver here: "I don't want to take advantage of the opportunity, I'm just comforting her, don't think crookedly." ”

"You poisonous bastard, you also drank the river water, everyone else fell, why didn't you fall down, I see that you are full of poisonous water, and it's not bad" Chang Hui continued to count him, "Not only that, you are full of those dirty things, don't think you can hide from anyone, I warn you, stay away from the princess"

Qing Ling saw that the more he talked, the more angry he became, and just wanted to step forward to persuade him, when he caught a glimpse of someone by the river out of the corner of his eye, and when he saw it, the man was about to drink the river water with both hands.

"Can't drink, can't drink" Qingling hurriedly ran over to stop him, "The water is poisonous, can't be drunk"

The man didn't seem to hear it, and drank a few sips of river water one after another, tasting it and saying in a loud voice: "It's very sweet, it's not bad."

Qingling was angry and anxious, obviously reminding him that there was poison in the water, but this person didn't listen, and if she was poisoned, she would have to save him. The man leaned down and washed his face with the river water, and Qing Ling couldn't bear it anymore and rushed up and slapped him on the back hard.

"Hey, hey, the water is poisonous, did you hear it" Qing Ling's hand hadn't touched him yet, and in a flash, the person actually disappeared out of thin air, and she was unsteady and plunged into the river.

Shi Zhong and Chang Hui were stunned, and hurriedly ran to rescue Qing Ling, Qing Ling fell into the river and drank a few sips of water, holding Shi Zhong's shoulder and vomiting in embarrassment.

Weng Guimi and Tu Qitang didn't say a word, staring at the uninvited guest, if they were not mistaken, the person just now moved away a few feet away in an instant, how could there be such a master in this wilderness
