After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, and then he smiled: "No... I haven't found anything yet. If it's cold today, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold from the long journey, so I've ordered someone to dispense the medicine and send it to the palace gone."

Qin Xuechuan suddenly reached out and touched his cheek: "Sure enough, I know that no one in this world will treat me like this except you."

Xiao Yu smiled slightly, and he looked at the heavy snow outside: "Your Majesty... the auspicious snow brings a good year, which is a good omen. In the coming year... our Dachu will definitely have good weather, and the country will live in peace and prosperity."

After hearing his words, Qin Xuechuan smiled and said: "I hope so, I will deal with all those who are disobedient in the court, those who are in power, and those who are in power, and wait until my country is peaceful and the people are safe..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yu suddenly bent down and looked at him: "If there is a day of peace in the world, are you willing to let go of this glory and wealth and go back to the mountains and forests together?"

"..."

It was the first time Qin Xuechuan heard him say such crazy words, he suddenly squeezed Xiao Yu's face and said with a smile: "You want to live an ordinary life that much?"

"Sometimes an ordinary day like this is what a lot of people only dream of."

Qin Xuechuan closed his eyes and smiled: "That depends on who you are, you and I are destined to be different from those ordinary people, it's too difficult to get rid of so many things..."

"If you think about it, nothing is impossible, Axue... I don't know when I fell in love with you, but you believe me, I will not betray you, please believe me." Xiao Yu Suddenly holding his shoulders and looking at him sincerely.

Seeing him like this, Qin Xuechuan was stunned for a moment, then he laughed: "I never said that, I don't believe you."

Perhaps at this moment, in this scene of cold snow and winter plum blossoms, Qin Xuechuan's heart towards Xiao Yu is like the red hot charcoal fire next to him, he probably... also likes Xiao Yu.

***

Three days later, the army set off, and the leader of the forbidden army, Xiao Yu, led troops to garrison the capital.

No matter how you say it, Xiao Yu is the only person Qin Xuechuan believes in. Although he once suspected that the Xiao family harbored disobedience, he still softened his heart because of Xiao Yu's face.

To be honest, he was already tired of this kind of doubtful life, and when Xiao Yu said that they lived an ordinary life together with him, he was also slightly shaken in his heart.

But with his current status, is it really possible?

The state of Chu is surrounded by wolves, if he leaves here and stops being the emperor, what will the people do?

Qin Xuechuan might have accepted himself now, but he couldn't agree to Xiao Yu's crazy words.

The border between Chu and Yan is next to Qinchuan, and the waterway is the fastest. The Bi'a River has never been frozen for a hundred years, and there is an endless stream of merchant ships. Qin Xuechuan asked some new palace craftsmen to improve the ships used by the royal family at the place where Qin Xuechuan ascended the throne. one time.

While good in theory, it is very difficult in practice.This boat has probably been built for more than three months, but it is very stable when driving on the water.

Qin Xuechuan was sitting in the main hall of the boat at the moment, holding a bunch of brochures introducing Murong Ying, the monarch of the Yan Kingdom.

This person was quite pitiful. His own mother was framed by his father's favorite concubine and died. In the end, he lived among the people and hibernated for more than ten years just to come back and kill his father to usurp the throne.And this idea was successful, but in just a few months, he subdued all the weak and small countries around Yan.

Such a person, his courage and cruelty are enough to make him achieve great things.Things have come to this, Qin Xuechuan has no choice but to meet with him, anyway, their Great Yan was badly harmed by their former emperor in the early years, and now they can only use some wealthy small countries to slaughter, this Murongying has such a big appetite. Wanting to annex Dachu from the very beginning was simply overreaching.

The notebooks about Murongying's life that the courtiers handed over were at most two pages, and there were very few other folk talks.

Xiao Yu looked at it and threw the memorial on the ground with a headache: "Is there no portrait of him?"

"Your Majesty, the new Emperor of Yan never allowed others to paint a portrait of him."

Qin Xuechuan held his forehead... The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles.If he doesn't know what the other party is thinking, then he can't do anything.

But at this moment, someone suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, a group of merchant ships were found ahead. The people on the merchant ships claimed to be envoys from the Kingdom of Yan, and came to escort Your Majesty!"

Qin Xuechuan raised his head after hearing this: "An envoy from the Yan Kingdom? When will we arrive in Qinchuan Valley?"

"Your Majesty, we will arrive tomorrow!"

Qin Xuechuan frowned when he heard this... Since he can arrive tomorrow, why did Murong Ying let her envoy pretend to be a businessman to pick him up?

Qin Xuechuan called again at this moment: "Li Ying."

"Subordinates are here!"

At this moment, he waved at Li Ying to signal him to come to him.

"I don't know what your majesty ordered?"

Qin Xuechuan said: "Put your ears closer."

Li Ying hurried over after hearing this, Qin Xuechuan whispered a few words in his ear, and Li Ying hurriedly said again: "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."

Qin Xuechuan's boat was followed by his [-] elite soldiers. In order to prevent accidents, he had established a good relationship with Xianglu and let him protect him in secret.

In fact, it's not that he didn't know that Xianglu had been raising soldiers in private these years, but Xianglu flattered himself that his son had become the emperor, so he would naturally do his best to help him, and he would not expect anything in return.For many years, Qin Xuechuan had always been wary of him, but when he saw the letter Xiang Muling wrote to him, he understood everything.

Xianglu does have ambitions, but his mind is to let his own son sit on the throne of emperor, but unfortunately both the emperor and him are played around by Xiang Muling in the end.

The idea of ​​going to the Chu-Yan border was originally proposed by Pei Jian, so Qin Xuechuan asked Pei Jian to accompany him on this trip.

It was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and it was extremely cold at night, but the fact that there was no ice on the Bi'a River was not enough to freeze people to death.Jiangshang was very cold, and the people on duty outside had to rotate every half an hour.

At this time, a small boat suddenly sailed from the dragon boat of Emperor Chu to the boats of the so-called envoys of Yan State.As soon as the boat approached, someone on the boat carrying the envoy suddenly asked loudly, "Who is it?"

As soon as the words fell, the person on the boat replied again: "I am His Majesty's personal guard, and I personally came to welcome the envoys to the boat for a gathering."

After finishing speaking, a person wearing the costume of Yan Kingdom came out, and he said again: "Then can I bring some followers?"

Pei Jian laughed when she heard this: "Could it be that your lord is afraid that our Majesty will harm you?"

When the envoy heard what he said, he quickly explained: "Don't you dare? It's just that you and Yan Chu are still negotiating, and I'm also afraid that something will happen. It's not easy for you Chu to explain to us Yan! .”

After finishing speaking, Pei Jianjian smiled and said, "Okay then, you can bring your followers."

***

Pei Jian brought those people onto the boat that Qin Xuechuan was on, and at this moment he said again: "Only one person is allowed to go in to meet our Majesty, so I will trouble some of the envoy's cronies to wait outside."

The envoy nodded slightly when he heard this: "Then I'll be fine."

After speaking, the door of the ship opened, and the envoy of Yan State walked in.He lowered his head and walked to the dragon chair only ten steps away, kowtowed and said: "I am the envoy of the Yan Kingdom, and I have come to pay respects to the Emperor of Chu."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head for a long time, but no one came to answer him, and then he said again: "The envoys of the Kingdom of Yan came to pay respects to the Emperor of Chu."

As soon as the voice fell, two people came out from behind the screen next to the chair.I saw a young man timidly coming forward, and beside him was an internal guard.

The inner servant bowed his head and walked to the side table full of delicacies, and then the little emperor sat on the top chair.

He seemed a little uncomfortable when he sat on it, and his expression seemed a little flustered. When he saw the man, he smiled wryly: "Oh, it turned out to be an envoy sent by the Emperor of Yan. I am very moved by the kindness of preparing people in advance to welcome me when the twelfth lunar month comes."

As soon as the voice fell, the man said: "The peace negotiation between Yan and Chu is a major event, so my country of Yan attaches great importance to it, and the emperor of Chu is not welcome."

The person sitting on the chair smiled, and then said: "I just know the thoughts of your Emperor Yan, so I feel touched. No, just now I ordered someone to prepare a banquet to welcome the arrival of the envoy." table, and please envoy Yan not to see outside."

At this moment, the man glanced to the side, and followed the inner warden who was beside the emperor to the banquet table and filled the golden cup with wine.

"This is the fine wine of our Chu country. If the envoy of Yan does not dislike it, then please drink this cup as a respect for our Chu country."

After hearing this, the envoy quickly said: "My Majesty Yan sent ministers here this time to pick up the Emperor Chu to discuss and discuss important matters. His Majesty's heart is in my heart...it's just this wine..."

As soon as the words fell, the emperor got up from the chair and walked down. At this moment, he also poured a glass into his own wine cup, and then held it up in front of the envoy of the Yan Kingdom: "Could it be that... Lord Shichen is afraid Is it poisonous?"

Hearing this, the man lowered his head and said hastily, "Of course I don't dare!"

"That's good. In order to show the sincerity of your country of Yan, it shouldn't be too much for the envoy to drink the wine I gave you?"

The envoy of Yan Kingdom slowly raised his head, picked up the wine on the table and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

After speaking, he raised his head and drank it down.After the emperor saw that he drank, he also drank the glass of wine in his hand.The wine all came from the same pot, and the envoy was relieved when he saw that he had finished drinking.

The emperor laughed loudly at this moment: "Okay, very good."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and wanted to return to his seat, but at this moment the envoy suddenly looked up.He suddenly pulled out a dagger from under his jade belt, and stabbed at the unsuspecting Emperor Chu.

Just when he was about to assassinate the emperor, he suddenly felt a pain in his back and then lost his strength and dropped the dagger to the ground.

The emperor who was walking in front heard the movement, but did not look back.What the man never expected was that the one who stabbed him fatally in the back turned out to be the eunuch serving wine just now.

When he fell down, he saw the eyes of the man, who seemed to be calm, and asked with a smile, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

"When the two countries communicate, don't behead envoys. Chu is really despicable."

At this moment, Qin Xuechuan smiled and pulled out the knife from the man's back. A strong anesthetic was applied to the knife.He was very good at measuring and didn't kill this person immediately.Because he wanted to know something else.

"What you said is really good, but...you have to be a real envoy of the Yan Kingdom. It's hard to convince me that you can't even imitate the words of the people of the Yan Kingdom. Besides, you don't have to think about you. Those companions have come to save you, because they went to Huangquan Road before you."

As soon as the words fell, the man opened his eyes wide: "You... who the hell are you?!"

"Tell me, who sent you to assassinate me, if you are willing to confess the real murderer behind the scenes, maybe I will spare your life."

"You—don't even think about it!"

When the man said this to Qin Xuechuan, Qin Xuechuan suddenly smiled, and he clapped his hands: "Well, very good."

As soon as he smiled, he picked up the knife on the ground and plunged it into the palm of the man: "Don't you say it? If you don't say it, I will just pull out your fingers one by one. Then let someone cut off your flesh one by one, you should think clearly."

As soon as the words fell, the man's eyes widened, and black blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

Seeing this, Qin Xuechuan got up quickly, and the little eunuch who was pretending to be Qin Xuechuan just now also ran over: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Qin Xuechuan stared at the person who died of poisoning for a while, then he pushed the person's hand away: "No problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a hint of bloody smell in the cold wind outside.At this moment, Li Ying, who was dressed in black, came in from the door: "Your Majesty, those people have been dealt with."

Qin Xuechuan nodded: "The people on the boat next to me will also be dealt with, remember to do it neatly, and don't show any flaws."

"Yes! My subordinates obey!"

***

Qin Xuechuan looked at the poisoned person lying on the ground with a headache at this moment, he supported his forehead and said: "Come here, carry him away."

"Yes!" As soon as the words finished, two guards walked in and carried the corpse out.

Qin Xuechuan was thinking with some headaches: These people pretended to be envoys of the Yan Kingdom to assassinate me in the middle of the night... Once this matter is successful, the crime of killing the emperor of the Chu Kingdom will be the responsibility of the Yan Kingdom.At that time, it will be difficult for Chu and Yan to go to war.Moreover, the poison that that person took just now took effect so quickly, I am afraid it is not an ordinary poison. In this way, the master behind him must not be simple.

Qin Xuechuan thought for a long time but still had no leader, and they arrived at the border of Qinchuan the next day.

Qin Xuechuan ordered those assassins who wanted to assassinate him in the middle of the night to find a place and throw them away.

Bi'a River is the holy river in the entire Central Plains. Although many people died in the river, he didn't want to throw their bodies into the river just like that.On the other hand, his cleanliness fetish suddenly broke out.

***

As soon as Qin Xuechuan landed, he saw a flag of the Yan State planted on the ground.And there were quite a few palace people and soldiers standing behind him, these were the real Yan people who greeted him, and those people last night were just an accident.

At this moment, a child wearing bright yellow clothes and a pair of buns suddenly ran over from a distance.When the guards following Qin Xuechuan saw this man, they quickly pointed their guns at the child.

But Qin Xuechuan felt that the Emperor of Yan Kingdom was very interesting, and even sent a child to meet him. At this moment, he waved his hand to make the people around him back away, and then he bent down to look at the chubby-faced child : "Who sent you here?"

The child said obediently: "Uncle asked me to come. He said he wanted me to meet you and that you were one of his friends."

Qin Xuechuan frowned slightly after hearing this, and smiled at the child again: "Then can you tell me, how old are you this year?"

The child stretched out his finger and said, "Three years old."

Qin Xuechuan froze for a moment... At the age of three, he can speak so clearly, and he is not afraid of people at all. This kid is a bit smart.

Qin Xuechuan saw that he was very cute, so he hugged him: "Then can you show me the way and take me to your uncle?"

The child nodded at this moment and replied: "Okay!"

After speaking, Qin Xuechuan walked forward with the child in his arms.At this moment, he said to the people following him: "You stay here and garrison, and you are not allowed to follow."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"
