Li Daitao

Shaoxuan dared to say yes, and hurriedly said: "...don't treat me like an object again." But Yi Shen had all sorts of schemes for him, one of which was to escort him back to Beijing to make plans slowly.

Saying so, he sat up straight, and Qin Shu let him sit in front of him, and was about to leave, when a man hurried over and called him from behind: "Xiao Shu..."

Mrs. Liang only glanced at Shaoxuan, her eyes were worried, and then she fixed on Qin Shu alone: ​​"I really want to go."

"Yes." Qin Shu didn't want to be indifferent to her, so he bowed slightly on the horse, and said after a pause, "All the guards who came with you are left to you, so be careful in everything."

Mrs. Liang sighed slightly, and handed over a small bag in her hand: "Be careful on the road."

Qin Shu nodded in agreement.Shaoxuan looked at the two of them, and because he was close, he took it casually, Madam Liang said again: "It's all what you liked to eat..." It seems that there are endless instructions, but after thinking about it, it's still Nothing can be said.

Qin Shu bowed his hands to say goodbye, urged his horse to leave.

Shaoxuan turned his head and saw Mrs. Liang was still standing there looking around, and couldn't help unpacking the package, seeing that they were all desserts.While asking Qin Shu: "How does Mrs. Liang know what you like to eat?"

Qin Shu didn't listen and didn't answer.Shaoxuan was boring, and he didn't stop Qin Shu when he saw him, so he picked some pastries and ate them randomly, barely counting them as dinner.

Seeing another turn, it was the gate of the city, and suddenly a man came out and stopped the horse.

Po Jun recognized this person as an official in Fengyang, although he didn't talk much, he was one of the few people just now.

"I don't know what other orders my lord has?" Qin Shu asked in a harmonious voice, with the handle of the knife hidden in his sleeve.

"Does Shijun think that we are greedy for life and afraid of death?" This man looked like a literati, but he spoke quite directly. "However, Fengyang City's defenses are lacking, and the army is loose. If there is a war, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect the people of one side."

"Your Excellency, you don't need to talk too much." Qin Shou didn't intend to talk to him too much, so he picked up the reins and wanted to leave.

But this man was in a hurry, and took a step forward: "This matter is not an excuse, Fengyang's military equipment is... really unbearable."

Qin Shu looked at him quietly. The man hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Our country has been in peace for many years. The army has been lax and has no actual combat experience. The people have long been aware of the disaster of war. The officials and courts don't care about it, and never work hard on it. , the military pay is limited, if you continue to be exploited secretly, but barely maintain it, Fengyang is no longer a place of military aggression a hundred years ago. Even the soldiers, bows and arrows in the army are still rotten..." See Pojun's expression Without hesitation, he hurriedly said again: "...It was the same situation when I was in office... If you can make good friends with the Northern Jin Dynasty, it is better not to fight this battle unless it is absolutely necessary..."

Qin Shu looked past him and looked at the city not far away. A lantern faintly illuminated the moss and ferns on the city wall, and a few soldiers patrolled, just pretending.He came in from Fengyang city gate a few days ago, and he has seen the so-called military discipline of the so-called city defenders, who are in disarray and have nothing to recommend.Naturally, I also know that what he said is true. Zeguo has locked the country for many years, and there has been no war for hundreds of years. This was the case before taking office.

But the unbearable so far is still beyond the original expectation. There is a change in the original thought, and it can always withstand three months and a half. Now it seems that there is no power to fight.It's heartbreaking to be told the truth.Qin Shu was slightly taken aback, and bowed slightly to this person: "I've made a note. However..."——However, everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country.But after thinking about it, people have their own ambitions, so there is no need to tell him these words.Stop talking, ignore this person, call open the city gate, and drive out of the city overnight.

After walking several miles out of the city gate, I abandoned the official road and found another path.Shaoxuan sat on the horse and swayed to this side and couldn't keep his eyes open. It was only because of Qin Shu that he didn't fall off the horse.

Qin Shu was full of worries, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.It is inconvenient to light lamps along the way, but the moonlight is clear and bright, showing a piece of silent rivers and mountains like silver and silver, occasionally seeing three or five villages, sleeping peacefully in the night.Immediately, the loneliness and anger disappeared, and after a thousand turns, only a lot of melancholy remained.

However, the country is weak and the people are cowardly. It is difficult to turn back such a turmoil after a long period of accumulation, and it cannot be done by one person at a time.But in it, you must always do your duty as a courtier, do your best and obey the destiny.He thought about it secretly, and finally put his mind on Shaoxuan.

No matter how bad this person may look, judging from the situation, it does not look like a fake.If he was sent by the Northern Jin Dynasty as an excuse for provocation, regardless of whether he was handed over or not, the Northern Jin Dynasty would still take the opportunity to make trouble.It's better to treat him as the prince of the Northern Jin Dynasty and send him to Tongcheng as a hostage, or he can contain the Northern Jin Dynasty, just to delay this year.

In fact, looking at the meaning of the envoy from the Northern Jin Dynasty, it was mostly because he was worried that Zeguo would kill Shaoxuan as a spy.It's just that if you don't make a big deal with less publicity, you will lose your value. In the great country of the Northern Jin Dynasty, the prince is so virtuous, it is really difficult to convince the public, no wonder Qin Shu questioned it.

But now, regardless of the authenticity, we have to offer him as a true god first.

So even though they walked on secluded trails for the past two days and changed their clothes to hide their eyes and ears, Po Jun still took good care of Shaoxuan.Shaoxuan has always been the one who never touches the spring water with his fingers. When he misses Sutou and the wild on the road, he has to do it himself. He surrounded Qin Shu and watched Qin Shu stretching out alone, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.It's just that he is quite dissatisfied with Qin Shu's inseparability.

Seeing that Qin Shu treated him with a pleasant face, and didn't move to fight or kill him, Shaoxuan also became more courageous.This day, he said to Qin Shu: "Do you want to follow me when I take a bath and change clothes?"

Turning around and taking two steps, seeing that Qin Shu did not follow closely, he felt a little proud.After taking two more steps, thinking about it, I feel that Qin Shu has finally taken care of him well. The tone of his words was a little blunt, a little guilty, and he turned around and whispered: "You are so good at it, and I can't escape. Besides, I'm not running away either. You don't have to..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Qin Shu's eyes were sharp and clear, looking at him thoughtfully, he couldn't help being startled and startled, before he could stop, something flew into his mouth.Qin Shu took a step forward, put his hand on his chin and gave it a light push, before he could discern the taste, he swallowed the thing.

With a pale face, Shaoxuan vomited for a long time, but he could still vomit.The instigator was watching him coughing hard, so he came over and patted him on the back kindly.Was waved away by him.

"What did you give me to eat?" Shaoxuan stared at Qin Shu tearfully, with a nervous expression, like a frightened little animal, even if it bared its teeth and claws, it was in vain.

"It's nothing." Qin Shu stood aside, as if nothing had happened. "You won't escape anyway, and it won't take you a few days to return to Tongcheng. You won't be killed within ten days and a half."

Shaoxuan let out a cry, and was taken aback for a while.Jumped up and grabbed Qin Shu: "What about the antidote? I just don't run away."

Qin Shu let him hold him, and said slowly: "I don't." Seeing Shaoxuan's expression changed drastically, he spoke to comfort him again. "I'll give it to you only when I'm in Beijing."

Shaoxuan hated, but had no choice but to ask Qin Shu what kind of poison it was.There is no need for Qin Shu to make arrangements to scare him. Shaoxuan first went through all the rumors in the palace that he had heard before, and it is enough to scare himself.He just muttered to himself that at least he was facing the wind, but he didn't want to end up dying with his mouth crooked and his whole body rotten.

Listening to his murmur, Qin Shu could still keep a smile on his face, and told him to get on the road quickly if he didn't want to die.While secretly paying more attention to the movement around him, he did not follow closely.
