The Tyrant's Cannon Fodder Queen[Transmigration Book]

For the next three days, the emperor could not wake up again, and his pulse became more and more pessimistic day by day.

The imperial physicians and military doctors finally started the mode of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, and invited Xue Yao, the magician, into the medical team.

Prior to this, Xue Yao used the tools brought from the palace—syringes made by polishing and painting according to the shape of modern syringes, needles carved and punched in white jade, sterilized, assembled, and injected into the arms of wounded soldiers.

Because there is no cork, all the medicines are squeezed out from the back end of the syringe, making it impossible to inject.

Xue Yao remembered that he had bought a kind of western medicinal material, and the package came with a medical rubber dropper. Using this dropper, with a needle, to squeeze and inject, it finally succeeded.

The condition of the wounded improved.

Only then did Xue Yao obtain the qualification to experience the emperor's dead horse as a live horse doctor.

When Xue Yao saw the emperor, he felt something was wrong.

The emperor's symptoms were completely different from those of the wounded soldiers infected with tetanus, and his complexion was also different.

The emperor did not have any typical muscle spasms.

It stands to reason that the incubation period for tetanus infection is more than a week, and the emperor was only three days from the time he was injured to returning to the camp, and he already showed symptoms of weakness when he was brought back.

According to the imperial physician's diagnosis, the arrow wound was not deep and did not cause complications such as intestinal adhesions. The emperor's symptoms were more like poisoning.

Xue Yao had to guess that the diagnosis of the imperial physicians was correct—the Khitan people's arrows plotting against the emperor might have been poisoned, or it was a chronic lethal poison.

Although this guess made people desperate, it did not prevent him from making a final attempt, and he still gave the emperor injection treatment.

Xue Yao's attempt did not reverse the emperor's injury, but it did not worsen either.

The emperor has been in a severe coma.

In other words, the emperor's previous life was also due to poisoning, so he didn't have time to arrange his funeral.

The Khitans manipulated the arrows to let the emperor die slowly, so that they would have enough time to withdraw their troops, otherwise they might be killed desperately once the emperor died.

Several civil servants were very anxious, and proposed to ask the Seventh Prince to order Tong Ningzhao's troops to withdraw to Guangdong, so that the Northwest Governor's soldiers and horses would be disbanded and returned to their respective garrison areas, leaving only the forbidden army here, waiting for the Khitan envoy's visit.

The superficial reason was that the war was over, Lord Khitan had been severely injured, and it was impossible to cross the river to fight back. If the three armies stayed here, there would be insufficient food and grass.

In fact, the emperor lost consciousness, and the new crown prince could not gather all the forces of the prince for a while, and many forces might choose to wait and see temporarily.

The rain is coming and the wind is all over the building.

Tong's army may clear the way for the third prince at any time, and the Northwest Governor's soldiers and horses are an unstable factor, and only the Imperial Guard can be completely trusted.

The ministers hope that the Seventh Prince can get rid of the siege of the Third Prince's forces first, and then take the imperial edict to lead the Imperial Army back to Beijing, so that they can mobilize various troops to garrison the capital and gain a firm foothold.

Xue Yao knew that these ministers belonged to the prince, so he decided to let the seventh prince do as they said.

However, the Seventh Prince's order was flatly rejected by Tong Ningzhao, saying that the war was undecided and there was no imperial decree. Withdrawing troops would be tantamount to leading his troops back, and he vowed not to obey.

The ministers actually thought that if he had the ability to die, it would be reassuring to die together with the commanders under his account.

But Tong Ningzhao still has the support of the third prince, and the date for the canonization ceremony of the seventh prince has not yet been fixed. Currently, he is still suppressed by his brother and cannot be tough.

On the contrary, the third prince became tough that night, and all the civil servants who made suggestions were taken into custody by him, with the reason of disturbing the morale of the army.

Xue Yao immediately escorted the little fat boy back to prevent him from dealing with the Three Princes.

If you want to go back to Beijing before making any plans, at least hope that the eldest prince will come back to the town.

The system told him that the First Prince was rescued, so he would not be able to die on the other side of the river, and he would definitely come back.

On the third day, the sixth prince and the seventh prince went to watch outside the barracks together, expecting the figure of the Khitan envoy to emerge from the line where the blue sky and the grass meet.

However, the envoy was not expected until the evening, and the two returned disappointed.

On the way back to the tent, the sixth prince touched his shoulder with a soldier who appeared out of nowhere. The soldier apologized repeatedly, and stepped forward to brush the dust off the sixth prince's shoulder.

This move was really abrupt, the sixth prince was about to push his hand away, when the man approached and said in a low voice: "Take a step to speak, and there will be an urgent report in the end."

Afterwards, the two little princes learned a terrible piece of information - the Khitan envoy had rushed to the camp yesterday to negotiate, but was intercepted by Tong Ningzhao's sentry on the way, and was secretly taken back to the camp and locked up.

The third prince didn't want to exchange hostages, what if Khitan sent the prince back alive?

The prince doesn't have many younger brothers to deal with.

Thousands of miles away, before the fifth prince crossed the river, he secretly sent out to chase the prince's cronies, and finally chased them all the way to the capital, and told the prince the sad news of the emperor's ambush.

The prince, who was already overtired, had already hurried back eight hundred miles.

It's a pity that the two younger brothers in the barracks couldn't wait any longer.

The sixth prince and the seventh prince put on silver armor and hung sabers, and led the commander of the imperial army to raid the camp where the envoy was held.

The camp is guarded by the Tong family's cronies.

Seeing the two little princes in armor leading people over, the guards were caught off guard, but they still bit the bullet and stepped forward to laugh with them, asking the princes "what are you doing?"

The sixth prince was about to explain the reason for his visit, but the seventh prince asked the guard blankly, "What's the matter?"

The guard said "Don't dare dare".

The Seventh Prince said, "Then get out of here."

The commander in the camp heard the movement outside, and immediately came out vigilantly.

As soon as he saw the two little princes approaching in a rampage, the commander quickly stepped forward and blocked the way, saying that the prisoner in the tent was a criminal that the third prince wanted to deal with, and it was a matter of confidentiality, so it was inconvenient to let them go.

The sixth prince frowned and reprimanded: "Third brother, what kind of criminals are you imprisoning that we can't let us know?"

The commander saw that the two princes brought behind them all the Imperial Army, and he was even more convinced that neither the Northwest Governor nor Governor Tong would be ordered by the new crown prince, so he said calmly, "If your Highness is curious, you can go to the third prince." The prince asked for details, the general is only following orders, the military order is like a mountain, if someone breaks in...hehehehe..."

The Seventh Prince still had no expression on his face, and asked the commander: "So what if we force our way in?"

The commander straightened his back and said forcefully: "Then you are disobeying the third prince's military order!"

The Seventh Prince took a step forward, stuck it in front of him, pointed to the tip of the commander's nose with his finger and said, "Look at it."

The commander was forced to take two steps back by the inexplicable ferocious aura of the little prince, and watched helplessly as the Seventh Prince barged in with a few cronies of the imperial army.

The sixth prince was very surprised. The seventh brother would act stubbornly and rebelliously when he was angry, but most likely he would not provoke others so directly. It can be seen that he is very angry at the moment, but still has no expression on his face, making people puzzled .

The two princes broke into the tent with the commander of the imperial army.

The Khitan envoy was gagged and tied to the couch.

The Seventh Prince glanced sideways at his subordinate, who immediately drew his knife and cut off the messenger's rope.

The Seventh Prince bent over and removed the cloth from the messenger's mouth.

The envoy suddenly became furious, accusing the Han people of dishonesty and disobedience.

The Seventh Prince bent down and stuffed the cloth back, pressed the messenger's shoulder, and asked concisely: "Where are the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince? Don't talk nonsense."

The cloth ball was removed again, and the emissary who regained the right to speak began to vent again without a long memory: "The two armies are at war, and the emissary will not be beheaded!"

The Seventh Prince suddenly grasped the saber and pushed the handle, the blade came out three inches from the sheath, and the blade rested on the messenger's neck, threatening with the attitude of "the two armies are at war, and the envoy is to beheaded": "Don't, waste, talk."

The envoy's face was bruised and purple. It was obvious that he was beaten by the Three Princes when he was imprisoned. Now it was too late to promote Daqi's image as a state of etiquette, so he simply didn't stick to formalities.

The envoy was not wronged immediately, and answered the question gently and politely: "The villain has said countless times that the fifth prince of your country is on the other side of the river. We only sent 300 people to camp and escort, waiting for your country to exchange hostages. The prince of your country It’s really not in our barracks, it’s absolutely true! Please think about it, if we capture the prince of your country and exchange two for one, how can there be no other requirements in the letter of surrender?”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The prince is not in the hands of the Khitan people?

The Seventh Prince was about to ask again, there was a commotion outside the tent, and then it became quiet again.

Immediately afterwards, the third prince walked in with Tong Ningzhao and a few cronies.

"Sixth brother and seventh brother are not staying in the camp, have you come to my forbidden area?" The third prince raised his chin and walked in front of the two little princes aggressively.

"Why did you detain Khitan for envoy!" The sixth prince was extremely angry: "Could it be that you want the eldest brother and the fifth brother to be trapped for a lifetime!"

The third prince sneered, and replied unhurriedly: "On the contrary, you should have asked me just now. This guy doesn't admit that the elder brother was detained by them, but he just doesn't want to return the elder brother. Of course, I have to interrogate the truth before making plans." .”

The sixth prince argued: "Even if you want to interrogate, you can't make decisions on your own!"

The third prince smiled: "Brother is not here, I don't make the decision, do you make the decision? Do you still have seniority or inferiority in your eyes?"

The sixth prince reprimanded: "Why are you the one who decides! Father has already changed the seventh brother to be the reserve, and handed over the military talisman to the seventh brother!"

The third prince pretended to be sad and said: "Father is ill and confused, so it can't be counted. Even if the elder brother can't come back, he should make the second brother the heir. How can there be a reason to change the seventh brother? This is against the rules. The second brother agreed. The ministers will not agree, the ministers agree, and the people of the world will not agree!"

These words are blatantly denying the status of the Seventh Prince.

The commander of the imperial army and two cronies immediately gripped the handle of the knife.

Tong Ningzhao and others responded quickly, slightly unsheathing the blade, forcing the opponent not to act rashly.

The seventh prince looked at the third prince without any emotion, and said lightly: "The eldest brother is not in their hands, let's change back to the fifth brother first."

"A joke." The third prince said with disdain on his face: "If it's not in their hands, who else could it be? They just want to exchange the fifth son for their prince first, and then use the eldest brother to make things difficult for us!" He smiled deafeningly. : "We must not fall into their tricks, we must exchange one for two, and the eldest and fifth brothers must be handed back."

The sixth prince stepped forward and stared at the third prince: "Father has accepted that the seventh brother will lead the three armies, so the third brother should not judge others by himself and make his own decisions. All actions must be carried out in accordance with the decisions of the seventh brother!"

"What decision?" The third prince squinted at the two younger brothers with a threatening expression: "Don't care about the eldest brother, only save the fifth brother? Seventh brother, don't you want to kill the eldest brother in order to keep your temporary crown prince? If true For being so rebellious, don't blame the third brother for disregarding brotherhood!"

These high-sounding reasons were taught by Tong Ningzhao's party members, which made him confident not to exchange hostages.

There was silence in the camp.

The sixth prince was so angry that his ears turned red.

The Seventh Prince was still indifferent, and suddenly turned his head to look at Tong Ningzhao: "General Tong, what is the previous sentence in the imperial edict, 'Wenchen and military generals assist with one heart'?"

Tong Ningzhao was taken aback for a moment, thought for a while, then lowered his head without answering, and secretly glanced sideways at the third prince, asking him to come forward to make a rescue.

The seventh prince turned his head and asked the commander of the imperial army: "You tell him."

The commander of the imperial army immediately replied loudly: "Change Lixian Prince Ning Wang to be the crown prince!"

The Seventh Prince asked again: "Is the seal stamped by the emperor himself?"

"Yes!"

The Seventh Prince nodded: "The Commander of the Forbidden Army, Yan Fan, obeys the order."

Yan Fan immediately knelt down on one knee: "The end is here!"

"Immediately escort the Khitan envoy and the Khitan prince to Hexi, and exchange hostages as agreed."

Yan Fan immediately took orders, pulled up the envoy on the couch, and prepared to send him out of the camp.

Tong Ningzhao's fist gradually clenched.

But he wasn't ready for a head-on confrontation.

In a fight with the imperial army, he might lose half of his troops. He originally planned to make the two little princes think that the Khitan had broken his promise, so he personally led the troops to attack, and took advantage of the chaos to kill the two princes and hand them over to the Khitan.

Doing this will allow the third prince to take over the country more legitimately. Unexpectedly, this kid, Lao Qi, is quite difficult to deal with.

Tong Ningzhao was trying to deal with it gloomyly, but the third prince in front of him suddenly pulled out his saber with a "choke" sound!

Before everyone could react, the third prince took a step forward and cut the Khitan envoy's throat!

The khaki-colored curtain was instantly sprayed with blood, forming a crooked red curtain.

The unsuspecting Khitan envoy's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and he clutched his neck tightly, trying to prevent blood and life from leaking out of his body, but finally fell limp to the ground.

Do not look down.

There was consternation.

A hot current flowed from the Seventh Prince's dantian to his whole body, and the air around his body burst out of this small tent in an instant, pushing him out of the tent.

Those shallow pupils, which were usually gentle and harmless, had suppressed a fierce killing intent at this moment.

Like an instinct, the Seventh Prince had already made a judgment based on the force and positions of several hostile forces in the camp, and the best route and move to kill them one by one flashed in his mind.

Like a male lion raised by antelopes, starved to the extreme, the hunting instinct in his blood can no longer hide.

The author has something to say:

Old father Yaoyao: Who?Who said daddy belonged to antelope?Isn't dad a bald little white rabbit?

Seven cubs: I said so.

Old father Yaoyao: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!The cold night drifts over my face, my son's rebellion hurts my heart...
