After wearing a sick and weak cannon fodder as a prince

The winter in Fengdu was long, Qin Xuechuan's illness was not good all the time, and he became extremely weak due to taking medicine all year round.He thought that if this continued, he might die of illness before the emperor died first.

Qin Xuechuan also thought about strengthening his body, so he started by stopping the medicine, but for some reason, once he stopped taking the medicine, he was so sick that he couldn't even get out of bed.

He couldn't stop the medicine, so he wanted to walk around the palace by himself, but he was really bored with so many people following him wherever he went.

Some of the soldiers Ah Ying cultivated were talented, but before releasing them from the dungeon, Qin Xuechuan had to meet them one by one.

***

The dungeons in the Eastern Palace are generally places where slaves who committed mistakes were detained. Ever since Qin Xuechuan became the prince, his heart has been soft and compassionate, so no palace servants have been imprisoned here again.

"Your Highness, it is enough for your subordinates to bring them to you. Why did you come here by yourself?"

Ah Ying followed him with a torch to illuminate the way for him. Qin Xuechuan laughed when he heard him say this: "Since everyone will work for me in the future, why should I not see it?"

"The people you picked are fairly loyal, right?"

Aying replied: "As you ordered, tell the prisoners on death row that if it wasn't for you, they would have been killed by the sword long ago."

"Death prisoners are often extreme, but once such people are in my hands, they will be extremely loyal. Kung fu is secondary, and what I want is their loyalty."

Ah Ying: "Yes, Your Highness is far-sighted."

Ah Ying trained these dead men in the dungeon day and night, and he had clearly remembered the way here.The dungeon in the East Palace is like a labyrinth with many twists and turns. If it weren't for Ah Ying leading the way, he would probably get lost here.

The more he walked forward, the more Qin Xuechuan felt that the road ahead was brighter, and then he came to an exit. Outside there was a huge open space, which was as big as a palace, and surrounded by cliffs, the moonlight came from the hole above. photo came in.

It used to be a place in the East Palace to watch the prisoners kill and fight each other. Later, it was forgotten after being useless for a long time.Ah Ying discovered this place, and it happened that this place was connected to the dungeon of the East Palace. The dead soldiers were trained here without anyone noticing it, and no one would find out.

It was the first time for Qin Xuechuan to come here. Although he had a way to get these prisoners out of the prison, it was not convenient for him to come to this kind of place from time to time.This stone cave is completely natural, especially on the stone wall there are still traces of some kind of weapon cutting.

From a distance, he watched a group of people in black slashing something with their swords.

Ah Ying brought him here and said to those people: "Come here, see Your Highness the Prince."

After finishing speaking, those people all knelt down in front of Qin Xuechuan in unison: "The subordinates are waiting to join His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qin Xuechuan walked around in front of those people, and then sized them up: "You are all people who have committed heinous crimes. If I hadn't saved you, you would have gone to the Palace of the Underworld."

"Before I rescued you, I carefully investigated the family background of each of you here. I know that you have long been homeless, and what you killed were bullying and domineering officials. I am willing to give you this opportunity. But you also have to remember that your lives were saved by this palace, and you must always be loyal to this palace!"

"This subordinate is willing to swear to the death to follow His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Qin Xuechuan was very satisfied when he heard that, he turned around and left the dungeon.

But loyalty is not something that can just be said on the lips. How many people who said they wanted to be loyal eventually rebelled.

At this time, Qin Xuechuan thought of the kind that is often played in TV dramas - distributing an unsolvable poison to the dead, and then giving a temporary antidote to the dead after a period of time.

But this kind of poison is only in the legend. Chu country does not have such poison, even if it does, the loyalty that hangs with poison will sooner or later rebel. Qin Xuechuan specially thought of a way to test whether those people are loyal.

He doesn't want to use poison, and he doesn't bother to use poison. Those who want to follow him will naturally follow him.

***

The next day, Ah Ying walked up to Qin Xuechuan with two people: "Your Highness, these two people took the poison without hesitation when they saw your highness, and they said they want to see your highness."

Qin Xuechuan was flipping through a few books boredly at the moment, when he saw Ah Ying bringing those two people over, he quickly got up and looked at them.

Those two people were not very old, they looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, but the tattoos on their faces were a bit of an eyesore, Qin Xuechuan walked up to those two people: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Your Highness, I was the one who was going to die, and you saved my subordinate's life, so I swear to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Another person immediately said: "Subordinates too!"

The eyes of the two teenagers were sincere, Qin Xuechuan helped them both up: "What's your name?"

"The subordinate's surname is ghost, the third eldest in the family, and my father left early, so the old name was ghost three."

"My subordinate's surname is Gou, and my family is full of rough people. I have learned a few words."

Qin Xuechuan frowned slightly after hearing the surnames of these two people, it was really strange.His eyes flickered slightly when he saw the two teenagers talking, probably because he also disliked his own name.

Qin Xuechuan said: "Since you are working for this palace from now on, you don't need to use your old names." He pointed to the boy who called his surname "Gui" just now and said: "From now on, you will be called Li Ying, and you will be called Yun Fei."

"Yes! I thank the prince for giving you the name!" After speaking, the two of them knelt beside Qin Xuechuan and kowtowed.

"In the future, the two of you will be the leaders of this group of dead men. If I have any orders in the future, I will instruct you two. You two go down first!"

"Yes!"

After the two left, Ah Ying walked up to Qin Xuechuan and asked, "Your Highness, the poison you gave them..."

Qin Xuechuan smiled: "Could it be that even you have been lied to?"

Ah Ying: "This subordinate is dull, please enlighten me, Your Highness!"

Qin Xuechuan explained: "I didn't give them poison, I just wanted to test who is more loyal than the other, but for the time being let those dead men think that what I gave was poison, it will give them more peace of mind."

Ah Ying frowned when she heard this: "Yes."

It turns out that His Royal Highness is really suspicious by nature, not as soft-hearted as the legend says, these days with Qin Xuechuan, Ah Ying also felt that Qin Xuechuan had his own decisions in doing things, but he didn't know that Qin Xuechuan What are you planning now.

Qin Xuechuan thought that in the past few days, Xiao Yu was always pestering him, and it was much colder these days, Xiao Yu was probably too cold to come out because he was shrunk under the quilt.

Just when he was like this, someone from outside suddenly sent a message: "His Royal Highness, Lord Xiao Hou is here to pay a visit."

Qin Xuechuan was slightly taken aback when he heard it: "I really come here whenever I want."

Ah Ying asked from the side: "Is Your Highness not seeing him as before?"

"He has been here so many times, and I have granted his wish. Let him come in to see me, and you all leave."

"Yes."

***

Xiao Yu slowly walked into Qin Xuechuan's room, but when he looked up into the room, he found that there was no one around.When he looked back, the door in the hall was suddenly closed with a "bang-dang--".

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu was stunned for a while, at this moment he suddenly heard faint footsteps, although the footsteps were soft, he could still hear them clearly.

Xiao Yu figured it out now, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and then turned to look at Qin Xuechuan.But who would have thought that as soon as he turned around, he saw a sharp sword facing his throat.

He froze for a moment, and then showed a smile: "What? Is His Highness the Prince trying to kill the villain?"

"........."

Qin Xuechuan put down the sword, and he said with a smile: "The newly acquired sword is like trying to see if it's sharp. I never thought it would be my fault to let the prince guess so much."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Yu strangled Qin Xuechuan's wrist, and the sword fell in response.Xiao Yu went around behind him: "Your Highness, recently there have been rumors in the city that I have mischief against you, and you still let me in so reassuringly?"

"What do you want to do to me?" Qin Xuechuan withdrew his hand, but Xiao Yu held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Presumptuous! Let me go!"

Xiao Yu laughed when he saw him like this: "Your Highness dared to be alone with me, wouldn't you not even think of this?"

"Hmph, are you the one who released those rumors?"

Xiao Yu said with a smile: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. Your Highness is so smart and wise, how can you not even understand this truth?"

"Ahem——" Qin Xuechuan felt a dull pain in his chest, and he began to cough.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu quickly let him go, Qin Xuechuan coughed non-stop, and the back of his ears suddenly turned red.Seeing him like this, Xiao Yu hugged him up.

"Cough—you...cough cough, what are you doing?"

Xiao Yu put him on the bed: "I'm already coughing like this, so why care about others?"

After speaking, he poured a cup of tea from the table next to him and handed it to Qin Xuechuan.Qin Xuechuan took a sip of tea, and Xiao Yu patted him on the back beside him, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

Qin Xuechuan took a breath and looked at Xiao Yu: "Instead of currying favor with me, you might as well curry favor with my fifth younger brother. With a sick and weak body like mine, I'm afraid he will pass away before he succeeds to the throne. Bet on me , is really not a wise move.”

"I'm a mediocre person, and I can't do anything smart."

Xiao Yu sat beside Qin Xuechuan and looked at him: "Your uncle got a few good horses, I pestered him for several days, but he just refused to give them to me, or the Crown Prince will go down and ask for one for me, okay?"

Qin Xuechuan sneered after hearing what he said: "You came to see me specially to ask me to ask for something for you?"

"I want to take you to ride a horse together. Besides, what is the relationship between the two of us? Do we need to share between you and me?"

This Xiao Yu's shamelessness is really scary.

"You are a subject, and I am your master, but the actions of Xiao Shizi seem to disrespect the master at all?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu moved to Qin Xuechuan's side again: "Then how do you want me to respect you, you say it, and I will do it."

Qin Xuechuan is too lazy to play riddles with him here, but just now he heard Xiao Yu say that his uncle...

Nanling King?Isn't that Xianglu?

Qin Xuechuan has never met Xianglu before, this is also an opportunity, why not meet his uncle for a while.
