[Hanwu] Attack and retreat

A dilapidated stockade, in the deep mountains and old forests, where warblers and grasses grow, unexpectedly there is such a deep hole?Moreover, someone had spread thick dry grass in the cave, and Chen Xu, Liu Che, and Wei Qing could only make a soft "poof" when they fell down.

Although the pile of dead leaves was thick, the three of them still grinned from the fall. Although Chen Xu also hurt from the fall, he felt that his scratched left arm didn't feel at all. He was about to get up when Wei Qing pushed him down .There was a sound of distant and approaching footsteps.

Chen Xu raised his head slightly, and saw the densely packed leaves at the entrance of the cave. The leaves swayed gently with the sound of footsteps, and faint light shone through the gaps in the leaves, flashing and flashing.

The three of them couldn't talk, so the elder brother was rolling in Chen Xu's mind. "Why are those men in black so strange? They weren't so sharp in the beginning, why did they suddenly want to kill people?"

"The men in black belong to the Empress Dowager. After all, the emperor is showing some interest in Liu Che now, so it's not good for her to kill Liu Che directly. Maybe she just wanted to hurt Liu Che." Chen Xu explained to his brother. "For example, if you break your hands and break your legs, even if Liu Che is appreciated by the emperor, he will definitely not be an emperor."

Brother: "The Queen Mother is really bad."

"But what's strange is that wave of men in black later." Chen Xu seriously recalled the scene at that time. "The queen mother doesn't seem like a woman who would send two groups of people to do the same thing."

The innocent little brother obviously couldn't provide any help to Chen Xu. Chen Xu was thinking about it, but his brother couldn't help but yelled, "Chen Xu, your hand is hurt!"

Chen Xu: "Aren't you injured already?"

"It was only a little bit just now, but now it's a big hole!"

Chen Xu moved slightly, only to see that his mottled left arm was not only pulled open two long slits, but was still bleeding, Chen Xu: "..." He didn't feel it at all, isn't this hand useless?

"It's the second time. Why are you so careless? Hurry up and bandage it up. You'll faint after bleeding too much."

Chen Xu: "..." After saying this, he felt his head was a little empty, and the scene in front of him seemed to be far away.

Brother: "Hey, hold on."

Chen Xu closed his eyes.

He remembered this poison, and he had already tasted the feeling that this poison brought to him on the first day he came to this world.

When Chen Xu woke up again, it was pitch black all around, and a wet cloth was wiping his lips back and forth.Feeling that his originally stable breath was disturbed, Liu Che's voice rang out.

"Chen Xu, are you awake?"

Liu Che's voice sounded very dry, but he was very excited.Chen Xu gave a soft "um", and found that his voice was also very dry, and his limbs were so weak that he couldn't even lift them up.

"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

"I have a fire pocket on my chest."

"I know, but there is no kerosene here, save some, you wait."

"..." Do you want to save a bit of money?Chen Xu thought about it carefully, and asked, "Where are we?"

"It's still in that hole. It seems quite big here. Wei Qing said to explore it a little bit." As Liu Che said, the pig's trotter touched Chen Xu's face, and he took it back after touching it twice: "Your mouth is in the hole. Where, I'll feed you something."

Chen Xu: "...is there anything to eat in this cave?"

"Some fruits." Liu Che's pig's trotter came over again, and he brought a grape-sized fruit, and stuffed it into Chen Xu's mouth. The fruit was born in a hole that never sees sunlight. It was small and astringent. Chen Xu felt that the whole The whole body was numb from this small fruit, but his limbs could not move, so he could only swallow the fruit.

Liu Che heard Chen Xu swallowing the fruit, and touched another fruit. Chen Xu could clearly feel that his empty stomach was about to protest, so he had to swallow the fruit again with tears in his eyes.

Liu Che stopped after feeding a few fruits, and Chen Xu asked, "How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been two or three hours now... You suddenly passed out. Wei Qing and I were shocked before we found the wound on your arm. Fortunately, Wei Qing usually practices martial arts and always has medicine by his side. We will stop it for you. Afraid they would come after me, I hid in the cave." Liu Che took the opportunity to touch Chen Xu again: "You have bled a lot, how do you feel now?"

"There is poison on the knife, and now I have no strength in my limbs."

"That old witch actually poisoned you." Liu Che gritted his teeth. "It's all my fault. If I investigate this den of thieves carefully, this kind of thing won't happen."

"There's nothing wrong with you." Don't say that Liu Che was blaming himself for Chen Xu's injury, even Chen Xu himself felt very ashamed and angry because of this matter. "We all think too highly of ourselves." It must be because he has been going smoothly since he came here that he fell into such a big stumble, but it's a good thing to look at the sky with a stick.

Liu Che clenched his fists and said, "I will definitely seek justice for you."

"Let's think about how to overcome the difficulties in front of us first." Chen Xu sighed and asked in his mind: "Brother?"

My brother said "hmm" in a small voice.

"what happened to you?"

"You're not fine, and I'm not fine either." My brother's voice sounded weak. "Fortunately, you were poisoned by this poison when you passed through, and your body has resistance."

Chen Xu: "Isn't this poison enough to kill a person?"

"Please, how old were you then?" My brother rolled his eyes in Chen Xu's mind. "However, it still takes a toll on your body. I'm afraid it will take several hours before the feeling in your limbs returns."

Such a crime...

Seeing that Chen Xu didn't speak, Liu Che asked, "What's wrong? Did he say anything?"

"It may take several hours for me to move." Chen Xu said: "The emperor will not sit idly by such a big matter as the prince's bandit disappearance, and my father will definitely find it. Don't worry too much."

"You want me to join them first?" Liu Che squeezed Chen Xu's hand, but Chen Xu didn't respond. "I do not want."

"Prince, take care of your body."

"The prince should also take care of his body."

"Calm down, if the Queen Mother's people find you first, you will be half-disabled if not dead."

Just as Liu Che was about to defend himself, he heard footsteps approaching them. Liu Che and Chen Xu immediately closed their mouths, and the visitor sighed, and said, "I've heard you talking from a long distance away, aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Wei Qing." Chen Xu called out.

"Chen Xu, just wake up." Wei Qing's voice was also a little hoarse, obviously he might not have drunk water for a long time, he said: "I found that this cave is very big and intricate, if I hadn't walked along a wall in the dark , maybe I won’t come back.”

"Why is there a hole in this place?" Chen Xu felt that he woke up at the wrong time. If it was daytime, he could see what kind of place this place is.

"I don't know, but I seem to have touched a brick, and it doesn't seem to be a brick. It feels a bit weird." Wei Qing leaned against the wall and touched Chen Xu with something. "Chen Xu, feel for what it is."

Chen Xu didn't feel anything at all, and his elder brother said, "Chen Xu, this guy poked you with a gold bar."

Chen Xu: "...I have no strength in my limbs, and I don't feel anything."

Wei Qing: "..."

Chen Xu: "But I know that you are holding gold bars."

"Oh, I got rich." Wei Qing said, "There are a lot of them over there."

Chen Xu and Liu Che: "..." You can pick up a lot of gold bars by just dropping into a hole in the ground, which is unscientific.
