Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 144 Black Peony, Yin Snake Gu

Li Cunming jumped out of the bathtub, quickly put on the dragon robe, pulled out the seven-star sword on the shelf with his backhand, and cut off the veil.

The veil broke, and it fell to the ground like red waves, and a beautiful woman dressed up appeared in front of her eyes.

I saw that this person was wearing a silver crown on his head, with a silver comb inserted, his upper body was covered with silver pieces, the wide neckline was crossed on the chest, inlaid with silver flowers, and covered with a peach blossom apron.The lower body is a pleated skirt that is not as short as the knee, which is graceful and moving.

In this outfit, the silver ornaments are shining, and the patterns on the clothes are colorful and complicated, embroidered with snakes, toads, lizards, spiders, scorpions and other poisonous insects.

This person is about 20 years old, with a good face and a natural beauty, but it is slightly different from the Central Plains woman, and his complexion is darker.

She has a fit and slender figure, especially the calf muscles exposed under the short skirt are strong, tight and elastic.

Facing the sharp sword, the woman smiled and stood still without any fear. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were clear, and she turned around to look at Li Cunming.

Looking at this person's attire, Li Cunming asked, "Are you a Miao woman?"

"Your Majesty is well-informed, I admire you!" the woman smiled, showing her white teeth, which contrasted with her dark skin, giving her a unique charm.

Li Cunming said: "My Xingyuan is heavily guarded. You can break in alone and peek at me taking a bath. I think you are very capable. I am not a boring person, so I will not be called a guard. Tell me, who is your name?" , what do you want to see me?"

The woman chuckled: "Your Majesty is younger and more handsome than I imagined. I always thought you were a bad old man. Minnv has a nickname, Black Peony. My real identity is Pu Mingsheng's niece."

"Who told you that I'm a bad old man? I'm still young!" Li Cunming rolled his eyes and said in surprise, "Are you the niece of the former chieftain of Ami Prefecture?"

"Exactly!"

"So, Wancailian is your aunt. Are you the assassin Wancailian sent to kill me?"

"If I were an assassin, His Majesty would have died in the bathtub long ago!"

"Oh, the toad yawned so loudly!" Li Cunming smiled, staring into Hei Mudan's eyes, and asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Black Peony smiled brightly and said with a wink: "I'm going to say that I came here specifically to see the emperor take a bath and peek at the dragon's body. Do you believe it?"

Li Cunming laughed loudly: "Then you are really lucky! As a man, I am happy to let you be a beauty, and I also like to flirt with you; but as an emperor, I don't like to be passive."

Black Peony's smile became brighter and brighter, really like a blooming peony flower, her eyes turned around, her bright eyes and bright teeth said:
"Since your majesty's expedition to the west, I have heard many legends about you, saying that you are a god who came down to earth. Since you are a god, can you be helpless when soldiers in the army get sick?"

Li Cunming frowned when he heard something in her words, and asked, "What do you mean by that? Could it be that you are playing tricks on this matter?"

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of Miaojiang Gu poison?" Hei Mudan smiled sweetly, turned around and left, her figure quickly melting into the night.

Li Cunming chased him out, but the black peony was nowhere to be seen in the darkness of night.

Her crisp voice came from afar: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Ming army are poisoned by the Yin Snake Gu. If the poison cannot be cured, they will surely die within a month. If Your Majesty wants to save the lives of the soldiers, you might as well come to Shibazhai , the little girl is waiting for His Majesty at any time!"

The brocade guards were finally startled, and rushed to escort them, kneeling on the ground in panic and pleading guilty.

Li Cunming looked at the dark sky and ordered: "Go and call Qi Dazhuang and the military doctor. I have important matters to discuss with them."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Qi Dazhuang hurried over and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good, Chen Yuanyuan was taken away!"

"What?" Li Cunming was taken aback and asked, "Where did the villain come from?"

Qi Dazhuang handed over a piece of paper, with a black peony drawn on it, and a line of small characters written beside it: "The little girl sent someone to welcome Chen Damei to live in Shibazhai for a few days, Your Majesty, don't worry about it."

"What a bold black peony!" Li Cunming scolded.

Qi Dazhuang said: "The minister will send troops to attack the eighteen villages and rescue Chen Yuanyuan."

Li Cunming waved his hand and said: "The origin of this black peony is not trivial, and she does things with a wicked spirit. Whether it is an enemy or a friend is unpredictable for a while. But I predict that she will sing such a big show, and it is definitely not to tease me. She must have something different." Chen Yuanyuan will not be in danger for the time being until she achieves her goal, the most urgent thing is to detoxify the soldiers."

When the military doctor came, Li Cunming explained in detail how he met Hei Mudan, and asked, "Military doctor, is there really such a thing as voodoo in the world?"

The military doctor frowned and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I don't have much knowledge, so I dare not jump to conclusions. But after careful study, witchcraft actually has a lot to do with medicine. There were witchcraft in ancient times, and related records are scattered in various places. Among the classics."

"Among them, during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there was a man named Wu Xian, who was the prime minister of Zhongzong in the Shang Dynasty. He was the first wizard whose name and surname were recorded in the annals of history. Later generations of witchcraft declined, and wizards either became historians, or Became a doctor, and all three religions and nine streams have been influenced by it."

"Xu Shen's "Shuowen Jiezi" said that Gu people have worms in their stomachs. The sick soldiers vomited black water, and there were wriggling worms in the black water. It is better to believe in the legend than to believe in nothing.”

Li Cunming said: "Hei Mudan said that our soldiers have been poisoned by the Yin Snake Gu, do you know what the Yin Snake Gu is, and how to get rid of the Gu poison?"

The military doctor shook his head and reproached himself: "I can't do anything, I have heard about witchcraft, this is the first time I have seen it, and I have the high expectations of Your Majesty!"

Qi Dazhuang said: "To untie the bell, the person who tied it must be used. Let's use force! No matter what black peony or white peony, the army passes by, I will teach her to kneel down and beg for mercy, and obediently offer the antidote!"

"If force is used, wouldn't Nurse Chen Yuanyuan's life be in danger?" said the military doctor.

Li Cunming stroked his chin, recalling Hei Mudan's words and expressions, and said: "In the eighteen villages, the spies have scouted the terrain. The mountains are high and the caves are deep. The so-called eighteen villages are actually the people of the Miao, Yi, Dai and other people who wanted to avoid In the chaos of war, a fortress built in the deep mountains and old forests."

"I guess that Black Peony should be the leader of the Eighteen Villages. She posed a difficult problem for me, perhaps to test me. The forces behind this person are intricate. We should not act rashly. There is no need to create trouble for Xizheng."

"How about this, Qi Dazhuang, you send spies to keep an eye on the movement of the Eighteen Villages. As for how to detoxify the soldiers, I will come up with ideas."

After Qi Dazhuang and the military doctor left, Li Cunming narrowed his eyes and said with a sneer, "Hei Mudan, I will play with you!"

Then lowered his voice and said: "System Dad, I want to sign in, can you give me a secret recipe for detoxification?"
