Chapter 231: The Protector General
Qin Wuxing was finally moved by Lu Shan's words, turned around and walked out of the secret passage door, and returned to the study.
He is now pinched by Ye Chong, and when he believes that Ye Chong does have magic abilities beyond his imagination, he can't kill Ye Chong and Lu Shan, and he can't create the illusion that he was assassinated, and if he wants to use a stand-in to get out, he has to reach an agreement with Ye Chong.
At the same time, he really didn't want his family to be affected by the defeat, and the method Lu Shan said could minimize the pressure on the Qin family to the greatest extent, and it would be more forgiven by the King of Chu than the assassination they had originally planned. Perhaps, you can also get a title similar to that of a martyr.
Only when the family still enjoys glory, can he use his new identity to start a new life with peace of mind after he Qin Wudaunted Golden Cicada comes out of his shell, and can get the secret help of the family.
Ye Chong seemed to have given Qin Wuxing a choice, but in fact, Qin Wuxing didn't have too many choices, and the path he was taking now was the only one he could get through, and it was also the most beneficial.
Of course, this is all on the premise that the initiative is held in Ye Chong's hands.
Qin Wuxing sat weakly in the study, cold for a while, listening to the constant sound of fighting outside the Assassin's Mansion, sighed, sharpened the pen, and began to write his "martyrdom testament".
At the same time, in the dark room in the secret passage, Ye Chong used the last trace of true power that he had finally recovered, controlled the sun and the moon, and "carried" the iron box on the stone platform in front of him.
Inside the box, there were delicate human skin masks, a yellowed no-name book, and several small porcelain vases.
"Is there an antidote?"
Lu Shan sat aside, grasping the iron bar of the cage with both hands, and hurriedly asked.
"I don't know, I'll try it. ”
Ye Chong reached out and took out a porcelain bottle, opened the lid on it, and gently flicked the mouth of the bottle with his other hand, and then quickly closed the bottle cap.
He is a person who has studied the refining of pills in the sword mound for several years, and he can have a very clear judgment on the properties of the medicine, and with a flick of his sleeves, even if he inhales other poisons, the amount of medicine is extremely rare, and it will not have too bad an impact on his body.
In fact, their current situation is not much worse.
"How is it?" Lu Shan hurriedly said.
Ye Chong squinted his eyes slightly and shook his head, "It's not an antidote." ”
"Are you okay then?"
"It's okay, it's not supposed to be poison either, I don't perceive its toxicity. ”
"Oh, then you can try the next bottle!"
“......”
Ye Chong glared at Lu Shan with disdain, but he still didn't hesitate to pick up the next porcelain bottle, open the lid, and flick his sleeves lightly, and a faint fragrance mixed with mint flavor drilled into his nostrils.
The amount of medicine was also not large, but Ye Chong instantly felt that his body had recovered some strength, and the mental outlook of the whole person was no longer as tired as before.
"This bottle is an antidote!"
Ye Chong hurriedly put the porcelain vase in front of him again, opened the lid, and then took a deep breath.
"Ahh
The mint-scented fragrance seemed to penetrate his meridians, and a refreshing sensation swept through his body, making him cry out.
The true power that had been suppressed and could not be called upon quickly returned to an active state, and it roamed through his body, and he once again felt a feeling full of power.
Then Ye Chong threw the bottle to Lu Shan, meditated for a while, and then stood up.
I saw that he, who had already recovered his true strength, gently grabbed the iron cage fence in front of him, raised his arms upward, and the heavy black iron cage was lifted above his head.
Then there was a "boom!", and the iron cage moved away from the top of his head and landed aside.
Immediately followed by a "boom!", Lu Shan also lifted the iron cage that trapped him.
"Damn, it's a return to freedom, suffocating me!" Lu Shan immediately kept moving his muscles and bones, turned his head and patted Ye Chong's shoulder, and said: "If it weren't for your sun and moon shuangxuan this time, the two of us might really be here, specially, when that Qin Wuxing comes back, we must settle this account with him!"
Ye Chong also laughed, "That's natural. ”
"But your kid was damaged enough just now, and he actually let the Sun and Moon Shuangxuan erect the corpse of that warlock, hehe, when Qin Wuxing was scared, it was ridiculous to kill me!" Lu Shan grinned at the corner of his mouth for a while, and then glanced at the white-clothed warlock, "It's a pity that this guy died too easily, I can't take revenge on him, grandma's, poisoning such a means has been used, I really despise him!"
Ye Chong glanced at this guy, "His death is not easy, his bones are hard and swollen, and his flesh is torn apart, which is much more painful than any way." ”
Ye Chong said, lowered his head and picked up the human skin mask and yellowed booklet in the iron box, and put them into his bag.
"What do you want this for?"
"I'll use it later. ”
"Then why don't you fill all the medicine bottles?"
"I don't know the properties of medicine, so it's useless to pretend. ”
"Whatever, let's pretend first!" Lu Shan picked up the medicine bottles without saying anything, stuffed them into Ye Chong's bag, and then clapped his hands and said: "If you see anyone who is not pleasing to your eyes in the future, you will try the medicinal properties with him, won't it be clear, it's so stupid!"
Ye Chong: "......"
......
Qin Wuxing took the "suicide note" that had just been written and sealed, and walked out of the study.
"My lord, now that the guards have entered the city, their army battle formation is too fierce, although our strength is not bad, but the overall combat effectiveness is much weaker, you see...... Isn't it ......"
The leaders of the pro-guards were somewhat distracted.
But Qin Wuxing still understood what he meant, Wuzhou couldn't be saved, he wanted to persuade himself to leave.
But if he leaves so grandly and returns to the Chu State, even if the death penalty can be avoided, it will be impossible to escape the crime.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Qin Wuxing's mouth, and he handed the envelope in his hand to the personal soldier, and at the same time, he also handed over the talisman symbolizing the supreme commander of the Chu army.
"Pass my order, withdraw the troops, and return to Chudi. This letter and military talisman, when the time comes, you help me hand it over to the King of Chu, saying that I am ashamed of my trust in His Majesty, I have no shame to face him, and I have no face to return to the Qin family, and I will live in this world without shame, and I will commit suicide here to apologize. ”
"What, my lord, ......" The guards were shocked, and they were about to dissuade them, but they saw Qin Wuxing waving his hand.
"Only when I die can I ensure the stability of the Qin family, you don't have to persuade me. Of course, don't tell the king of Chu about this sentence, you have followed me for many years, and after returning to the state of Chu, tell my father this sentence, and he will take it to you. When Qin Wuxing said this, he waved his hand weakly, "Let's go, if we delay for a moment, our Chu army will have more casualties, there is not much I can do, I can only try my best to reduce the casualties and reserve a little military strength for the Chu State." ”
After saying this, he waved his hand, turned around and walked into the study, and locked the door of the study at the same time.
The corners of the mouth of the leader of the pro-soldiers outside the door trembled, and finally turned into a helpless sigh, turned around and walked out.
In the study, Qin Wuxing's heart was mentioned to the highest point at this moment.
His performance just now is very much like a general who really wants to die for his country, but only he knows that he is not willing to lose his life, and living in the world is his real choice.
It's just that he was a little uncertain, because he wasn't sure if Ye Chong would really give him a chance to live.
But he knew that no matter what, he would have to go back to see Ye Chong, because if he fled at this time, then what he said just now and the content of the letter would become a great irony. If he leaves, of course Ye Chong will not keep it secret for him and help him arrange the battlefield, then any of his falsifications will be exposed in front of the King of Chu, which will only make the King of Chu even more angry.
So he had no choice but to clench his fists, pray secretly, and turn around and walk towards the secret room.
Just as he walked to the bookshelf, the door to the secret room suddenly opened, and the two rows of bookshelves receded to the sides.
Qin Wuxing was surprised to see Ye Chong and Lu Shan standing not far in front of him in good spirits, grinning at the corners of their mouths.
"We've already dealt with the corpse below. Lu Shan said.
Without waiting for Qin Wuxing to react, Ye Chong followed closely and said, "Our method of dealing with it is to destroy the corpse and destroy the traces, so you don't have a stand-in now." ”
"What!" Qin Wuxing's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes cracked, and his face distorted: "Bastard...... You...... You ......"
His last words were stuck in his throat.
Because Ye Chong's sun and moon had quietly penetrated his throat, two blood-colored holes were bubbling blood outside.
Qin Wudaunt fell to the ground in a fit of rage, ending his life.
"To be a man is to be true to his word, and if he says that he will be martyred for his country, he will be martyred for his country. Ye Chong took a long breath, the nasal sword was full of a strong smell of blood, and then he withdrew the sun and moon shuangxuan, raised his foot and stepped over Qin Wuxing's corpse, and together with Lu Shan, he opened the lock of the study, and walked towards the outside of the Thorn Mansion.
......
The battle of Chu Wei finally ended with the Chu army retreating back to Chu, and this vigorous war came to an end in this autumn.
The patriotic army fought fiercely for more than half a year, paid the lives of countless soldiers, recovered all the cities, including Wuzhou, and the hearts of the people throughout the country were unprecedentedly united.
Chu and Wei will also continue to be antagonistic in the relationship of mortal enemies.
It is worth mentioning that after the news of the martyrdom of Qin Wuxing, the commander of the Chu army, was transmitted back to the Chu State, the King of Chu posthumously named him the "Marquis of Loyalty", and personally attended the funeral, establishing a clothed tomb for Qin Wudaunt in the Chu State.
In the autumn of the same year, Shen Fengyang and Wu He, the commanders of the Wei army, led their troops back to the court, and were welcomed by the people in the Chaoge City.
King Wei rewarded hundreds of officials.
Ye Chong, who made great achievements in this war, was received by King Wei alone, and formed a brother with a different surname with King Wei. King Wei gave him a god general's mansion and named him a protector god general, enjoying the title of duke.
However, Ye Chong only accepted the title of Divine General's Mansion and Title, and rejected the official title with real power, which also became a temporary topic of conversation in the defense of the country.
