His Royal Highness the First Prince of Daliang

The ferocity and bloodiness of the Chi people in Wushan can be seen from the fact that they fought against the imperial court for many days and said that they would not bow their heads and compromise even if they would face the disaster of annihilation.The hidden meaning of their wanting to meet Qi Changfeng in person is not difficult to guess—the Chi people’s speakers almost never deliberately concealed their true thoughts in front of the left army: they want to leave Qi Changfeng’s life in Wushan.

Before the disaster happened, Chi people rarely left the Wushan Mountains. This is an isolated area. Chi people have lived here for generations. They have low material desires and are willing to be poor. They almost never communicate with the outside world, let alone There will be intermarriage and economic and trade transactions, and only a few people can even speak Chinese.Occasionally, when the weather is bad in the mountains and they are about to be hungry, the Chi people will go out to snatch the civilians down the mountain, but Nanping is also remote, and there are no officers and soldiers to take care of it. , but both sides can't get a big deal, but maintain a kind of peace on the outside.

Until the remnants of Nanyi, in order to retaliate against the emperor and Qi Changfeng who destroyed their homeland, a fire destroyed the ghosts that the Chi people had relied on for generations—poverty and the harsh environment in the mountains did not really kill the Chi people. The poison of miasma is what really makes them feel the source of terror and despair.The Chi people follow the precepts of their ancestors, and on weekdays, they have been sending people to patrol and guard the medicine fields where the ghost magpie grows day and night.But no outsiders have ever entered here.They are usually just a little wary of clansmen who want to steal medicine and children running around.

But on the night when the disaster happened, a soaring fire ignited in the medicine field. The desperate Chi people even used their bodies to fight the fire. Even children risked being burned to rescue the ghost magpie in the field. If the medicine is collected in a wrong way, the medicine plant and the ghost magpie will immediately melt into the soil and die. These things cannot be separated from the soil of the Wushan Mountain. Once the rhizomes melt, they are useless against heat and poison.That night, the entire Wushan Mountain was filled with the wail of the Chi people.Originally, they had planted a far-flung amount, but in this case, nine out of ten people in the clan had no medicine to resist the miasma poison.

Of the dozens of elite Nanyi generals who came in, only a few ran away, and most of the rest were beaten to death on the spot, and some were captured alive by Wushan people, who tortured more than a dozen people. One day, the wild dogs hanging from the beams of the house told the mountain to eat all the skin and flesh on their legs and feet before they tortured them to find out the cause of this disaster.

The Chi people are a very hateful nation, but they want to seek revenge with the Nanyi people—the Nanyi people have been destroyed long ago, and the rest of the people who were scattered and moved to the grasslands, the Chi people can’t find them if they can’t get through; Seek revenge against the emperor and Qi Changfeng - these two people are so powerful and far away that they can't easily reach them.

Feeling helpless for a while, and in the frenzied fear that the whole clan would not be able to survive, they began to go down the mountain on a large scale, looting, burning, killing, and massacring the ordinary Han people in Nanping City. The barbaric desire; the second is private revenge on the emperor.Chi people didn't feel that they were living under Emperor Liang's rule—they always only had people from Wushan in their hearts, they didn't know there was a country, and they didn't regard foreigners as their own flesh and blood.

This is one of the reasons for the banditry in Lingnan.

In fact, the battle to conquer the south initiated by Emperor Hui lasted for seven years. It not only wiped out the only king with a different surname in the dynasty, but also conquered many small southern Yi countries that repeatedly disturbed the southern border, thus directly conquering the vast land. The Eleven Continents in the Southern Territory have been incorporated into the territory of Daliang, and this unparalleled battle cannot be said to be completely over until now—the large troops of the Southern Conquest Army are still left on the land of the former Nanyi, one is for deterrence, and the other is to solve it There are endless civil unrest and wars under the current situation.

And chaos occurred in Liang Chaoguo from time to time.A huge war will bring about a series of chain effects—even for the absolute winner of the Liang Dynasty.The behemoth of the dynasty still needs time to digest the behemoth he has swallowed, and there may be years of indigestion associated with it.

The matter of the Chi people in Wushan can be regarded as one of the implicated ones.In this regard, Emperor Hui had actually expected it from the very beginning.But compared with the many benefits brought by swallowing Nanyi and leaving a great name in the history, the possible chaos is almost nothing to mention. He thought he was ready for it.

But no one would have imagined that the little prince, whose ten fingers never touch the spring water and who lives in Yunmeng all the time, would be deeply implicated in it.

And when Qi Changfeng's people finally approached the Chi clan in Wushan for the ghost magpie, and repeatedly fought against the Chi clan for suppressing bandits and protecting the common people at the foot of the mountain. This is a good opportunity for revenge - there are not many ghost magpies left, and they still have to be left to the children of the clan to preserve their bloodlines as much as possible, and it is impossible to hand them over easily.In addition, they wanted to take the opportunity to lure Qi Changfeng here and kill him in Wushan, so as to avenge the indirect genocide.

Concubine Zhao only felt that she could not understand or accept the thinking of these aliens——

"Since they have harmed the poisonous miasma in Lingnan for generations, it's fine that there are ghost magpies who can cure the poisonous miasma. Now that there are not many ghost magpies left, do they have to stay there? Why don't they move out as soon as possible? ?" Zhao Yunqiao slapped the table with anger.

"We can't understand either." Geng Fei shook his head in embarrassment. "It's not like we haven't mentioned such things—including saying that as long as the ghosts are handed over, they will be given birth and property. The latter words are okay, but they must not Mentioning the matter of asking them to move out of Wushan, all of them will be angry when they mention this, and the two sides almost fought again at that time, as if we asked the Chi people to leave Wushan, it was a great insult to them..."

"Then why do they have the face to blame others? After being burned, ghosts refuse to leave that evil place. They are clearly looking for death! If they want to die, they can just die!" Zhao Yunqiao angrily threw the teacup into pieces On the ground: "It is said that they are living in seclusion, so why did the ghost magpie come out again? It was used by those who should go to the [-]th level of hell to harm my Kang Ning! Now my child is waiting for that thing to save his life. They And I don’t care about the life-saving medicine of my own clan, if it is burned, it can be dragged to others.”

"Is it reasonable for these people to hate Qi Changfeng because of the Nanyi people's poisonous plan, then can't I also blame Yang Han's poison on them because the poison came from the hands of the Chi people?"

As soon as she mentioned Yang Han, Emperor Hui beside him didn't dare to answer at all, so he could only listen silently with frowns.

Qi Changfeng has been standing silently aside, with no trace of happiness or anger on his face - but in fact he can't bear to be provoked at all now.Even if the Chi people were determined to kill him, as soon as he heard that they admitted that they still had Gui Quezi's medicine in their hands, he wanted to gallop there immediately, as long as he could save the hope of saving Kang Ning.

In fact, he is not afraid of the revenge and torture of the Chi people, and he is not even afraid of dying under the hatred of these people. The only thing that is torturing him at this moment is nothing else, but the suspicion of the little prince who wakes up from a coma again and again. Come over and grab his hand, and that weak "don't go".

Kang Ning fell into a stuporous sleep for days, but in fact, he had no idea what was going on in the outside world.No one knows why he can keep thinking about not letting Qi Changfeng leave him at such a moment, as if he has already learned of the danger waiting for his lover, so he wants to grab Qi Changfeng's clothes with the last bit of strength.

However, to meet the demands of the Chi people, Qi Changfeng may not be able to respond flexibly and gain a chance of life from it, but if this hopeless consumption continues, the little prince really has no time to wait.

Qi Changfeng clenched his fists and then loosened them, "I..." He stared at Zhao Guifei's warning eyes and opened his mouth.

But before Zhao Yunqiao threw another bottle at him, Meng Baifan cut him off:

"The general stays with His Royal Highness, I think - I can go to Lingnan for a while."

Zhao Yunqiao raised her hand and lowered it again. Of course she would not hit her favorite girl Meng—but as soon as Meng Baifan said that, the hall of discussion was full of objections for a moment.Chi people sound so unreasonable, stubborn and fierce, what could Meng Baifan do in the past?Isn't this a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?

"The ghost magpie is the last poison that the fairy laughs at, and now it has become the only medicine that can save His Highness. His Highness must take it, but the Chi people may not be like this," Meng Baifan thought for a while, but at this time his train of thought had changed. It became clearer and clearer, "I have heard of the miasma poison in Lingnan for a long time - now that I think about it, Wushan Mountain is probably a great source of miasma in Nanping. Chi people have been rescued by ghost magpies for generations, probably because of their ancestors. This kind of solution, and the ghost magpie only grows in the soil of the Wushan Mountain, from this perspective, the Chi Clan is considered to be unique."

"But the ghost magpie is actually not an irreplaceable life-saving medicine for the Chi people. According to General Geng Fei, there is no doctor there, only witches, and they continue to live their ancestors' precepts for generations. It can be seen that they have never thought of going out to seek medical advice. medicine, to search for other good medicines and prescriptions to solve heat miasma. Perhaps their ancestors have tried it—but Lingnan is always remote and impoverished, and there is no good medicine that can be sought by the ancestors of the Chi people in the towns, don’t say Solving the heat miasma in Wushan people may not even solve the miasma poison in the civilians in the city."

"Thus, the ghost magpie saved them, but because it only grew in the Wushan Mountain, it also trapped them. It is clear that the whole family will move away from this place so that there will be no more troubles with heat miasma, but it has been passed down from generation to generation. The clansmen only know that they cannot leave Wushan to live, but they don't know the reason. Their feelings for Gui Quezi are like believing in a totem. They deeply believe that this medicine has saved the lives of their ancestors for generations, and they also deeply hate being implicated by it. Among them, General Qi..."

"But I think it won't work whether it's tempting with huge profits or letting them vent their anger blindly." Meng Baifan pursed his lips slightly. Only by giving kindness can they repay—then they will no longer have the danger of genocide, and there is no need for them to break the cognition of hundreds of years, wake up their gods and leave their ancestral land, but they will no longer need ghosts It's a magpie, I think it's the real possibility of having both."

What she said really opened up another situation for the current predicament. If it can be realized, it will naturally make the difficult dead end suddenly clear.It's just that there are still many problems, the first one is time:

"The poison of hot miasma in Lingnan has existed since ancient times. It must take a long time to completely solve it, but Kang Ning may not be able to wait..." Emperor Hui stared closely at the girl who had repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the hall.

"Although the root cause is difficult, it is easy to treat the symptoms. At present, the old and the weak have died among the Chi people. I just treat them first to delay one or two, and I can stabilize people's hearts if I think about it. It is easier to achieve the goal by exchanging and discussing from time to time." Meng Baifan replied calmly.

"But have you ever thought that it is not easy to eradicate miasma poison. If you fail to achieve what you said in the end, I am afraid that with the character of the Chi people, you will transfer the hatred of such failure to you. Naturally, my soldiers will I try my best to protect you, but it cannot completely guarantee your safety." Corning is the best example.

However, Meng Baifan showed no fear, and just smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, even if there is no such thing as your Highness, even if the courtiers did not receive the emperor's favor in the early years and are still unknown, today I am willing to go through this for the Lingnan people who have suffered for generations." She bowed and bowed again. Straight up:

"Doctors are fearless. They should look up to the world and walk, but they just want to be ashamed of their hearts."
