Chapter 320 Hostage Exchange

Although Wang Yi was injured, he had rich combat experience. Hearing Princess Changping's reminder, he immediately hugged Chen Yuanyuan and turned over from the bridge and fell into the river together.

Sooner or later, several feathered arrows flew over and were nailed to the wooden board where the two were standing, and the shafts of the arrows kept shaking.

"Go into the water to save people!" Gong Yonggu called to several guards and jumped into the fast and cold river water.

"How dare you, Shu Zi!" Princess Changping was furious, picked up Hou Yi's divine bow and shot flying arrows, killing several Qing soldiers.

At the same time, the Qing soldiers on the other side of the wooden bridge wanted to take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, but they heard a roar, a red light flew in front of them, and a fiery red beast ran from nowhere, killing those bows and arrows in an instant hand.

Zhang Ruxiu shouted: "It's enough to welcome Prince Yu back, it's not appropriate to cause trouble again. Cut down the wooden bridge and retreat!"

The Qing soldiers cut down the wooden bridge, protected Duduo, and evacuated the river bank with their horses.As night fell, the figures of the Qing soldiers quickly disappeared into the night.

Jin Yiwei had already rescued Wang Yi and Chen Yuanyuan. They choked on the river water a few times and were pale and trembling. Other than that, they were fine.

Princess Changping jumped off the horse, and rushed to Wang Yi in two steps at a time. She was about to speak when she saw Wang Yi wearing an iron mask to protect his nose from the light of the torch.

"Wang Yi, what's wrong with you?"

When Wang Yi heard Princess Changping's voice, tears welled up in his eyes, but he said: "It's okay, it's okay..."

"Let me take a look at you."

"No, there's nothing to see..."

Before Wang Yi could stop Princess Changping, she had already taken off the mask on her face.

I saw that his face was covered with various scars, and his nose was cut, which was beyond recognition.Princess Changping was like a thunderbolt, she burst into tears and said: "Who did it?"

"Dorgon..." Wang Yi didn't want to say more, and put on a mask, "Your Highness, don't feel sad for me. After all, I came back alive, but the whereabouts of the shadow is still unknown..."

"Wang Yi!" Princess Changping hugged Wang Yi, crying into tears.

Those who heard it were sad, and people turned around one after another.After a long time, Gong Yonggu persuaded: "Your Highness, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We should go back to Changqing as soon as possible."

"Yes, let's go back and rest first." Princess Changping wiped away her tears and forced out a smile, "Father asked me to prepare a sumptuous banquet for you and me. Wang Yi and Chen Yuanyuan, you have suffered!"

Riding side by side on horseback, Princess Changping couldn't help peeking at Wang Yi many times. The more she watched, the more distressed she felt, and she thought to herself: "I don't know how much Wang Yi has suffered and suffered. The pain he endured alone is as mountainous as the sea. It's really distressing."

……

But when Duoduo came to Qihe County, Shang Kexi held a banquet to welcome him.

"Prince Yu, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief that you have returned safely. God bless me, Qing Dynasty, and God bless Prince Yu!" Shang Kexi said.

Duoduo said: "King Pingnan, please take your troubles, I will remember what you have done."

After a few glasses of wine, Duoduo's blood surged up, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved, and he cursed bitterly: "Chongzhen is treacherous and cunning, he is extremely hateful, this king will never end with him! Sooner or later, this king will also take prisoner Chongzhen, cut him into pieces!"

Shang Kexi said: "Prince Yu, calm down..."

"To put it lightly, how can this king swallow this breath? King Pingnan, this time we suffered a big loss. Not only did we hand over two hostages, but Wang Yi was the murderer who assassinated Lord Fan Wencheng, and he gave up for nothing. Jinan City. Is that the way to go?"

Shang Kexi coughed and signaled for the banquet to break up.People retreated, leaving only Shang Kexi and Duoduo in the room.

"Prince Yu, naturally I will not give Jinan City to Chongzhen in vain. I have already made arrangements to keep it safe so that Chongzhen can enter Jinan alive and not come out alive."

"What arrangement?"

Shang Kexi leaned close to Duduo's ear and whispered softly for a while.

Duoduo's eyes lit up immediately, and he said happily: "Okay, good strategy! King Pingnan, you really have a lot of clever tricks, and this time you will definitely make Chongzhen unable to go around. Come on, serve me with a smoking gun, wait for me If you are addicted to cigarettes, go to Jinan to capture Chongzhen alive!"

A guard came in with a bong, Duoduo took out the brocade box in his arms, and went into the grand master's chair, ready to smoke.

Shang Kexi became more thoughtful and asked, "Prince Yu, where did you get these opium creams?"

"Oh, it's a gift from Chongzhen hypocrisy to this king."

"Wait a minute!" Shang Kexi stopped Duoduo, and hurriedly shouted, "Let the doctor check it out, so as not to be fraudulent."

After a while, several doctors came and carefully inspected the brocade box and the opium ointment, dismantled the brocade box to pieces, and tested for drugs with silver needles.

Dodo waited impatiently, and asked, "Is there anything weird?"

The doctors glanced at each other, and one of them said: "The two lords, we have checked carefully, there is no hidden mechanism in the brocade box, and the opium paste is not unusual, it is the best opium."

"That's good, let's go down." Shang Kexi said.

"King Pingnan, you are too careful. But this king can also understand that Chongzhen is a mean and shameless person, and he is so careful." Because Duoduo was in a good mood, for the first time, he did not blame others for disturbing him to smoke opium.

Shang Ke was delighted to see that Duoduo was completely immersed, and quietly exited the room, and ordered his subordinates: "When Prince Yu has finished smoking, you can send him back to the bedroom to rest. Remember, stay close to each other, and nothing will happen again. !"

In the middle of the night, Shang Kexi was dealing with military affairs in the study, when he heard the drumming sound from Qiaolou, he stood up and stretched himself, just about to go back to his room to sleep.

At this moment, someone rushed into the study and shouted in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, Prince Yu seems to be dying..."

"What do you mean it doesn't seem to work?" Shang Kexi exclaimed.

"The little ones stood guard outside the room. In the middle of the night, Prince Yu suddenly yelled. The little ones opened the door and went in to see Prince Yu rolling on the bed, spitting out fishy and smelly black water from his mouth."

"Ah, call for a doctor!" Shang Kexi ran away, almost tripping over the threshold.

When they arrived at Duduo's bedroom, the doctors had already checked his pulse.Shang Kexi glanced at Duduo, who was about to die, and asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

A doctor said: "I don't know, I can't find out the cause. Prince Yu has stomach cramps, and there are wriggling worms in the black water he spit out. This kind of strange disease has never been seen or heard before. I can't do anything about it."

"I killed you, what's the use of raising you?" Shang Kexi stomped his feet angrily, suddenly realized something, and asked, "Is there something wrong with those opium creams?"

"It shouldn't be. I checked it repeatedly before. I also inserted a silver needle into the opium ointment to test for poison. The silver needle didn't turn black."

"Then what's going on?" Shang Kexi shouted with cold hands and feet, "No matter what you think, you must save Prince Yu, or I will destroy your nine clans!"

Even though the death order was issued, these doctors were really powerless.At dawn, Duduo no longer vomited black water, but his belly swelled like a drum. Then his belly ruptured, his intestines flowed out, and he died.

Shang Kexi's head was aching and he thought to himself: "I've been too busy, Prince Yu died after all. Does this matter have anything to do with Chongzhen?"

Then he calmed down and thought: "Prince Yu is dead, how can I explain to the regent? It seems that the only way is to continue to implement the strategy, and wait for Chongzhen to enter Jinan City and catch the turtle in the jar. If I catch Chongzhen or kill him, I will You can take the blame and do meritorious service. Yes, there is still hope, there is still a glimmer of hope..."

The house leak happened to rain overnight, but Shang Kexi hadn’t recovered yet. A general came to report: “My lord, the Ming army did not enter Jinan City, but conquered Licheng, Yantou Town, Luokou and other places overnight under the leadership of Chongzhen. , cut off the connection between our army and Jinan City, and then approached Jinan City step by step from the periphery."

"What?" Shang Kexi felt that the world was spinning, and he couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north.
