Offer a tripod

Chapter 100 Thunder

This battle was the first big victory for the new emperor after he ascended the throne, so it was quite different from ordinary victories.But when the battle report was sent to the capital, Yuan Jing was not happy at all.On the eighth day of October, the day when the first emperor was buried in the imperial tomb, General Shenwu followed the coffin into the imperial tomb and disappeared.None of the guards knew his whereabouts. After searching, he heard a craftsman say that when he got up in the morning, he vaguely saw someone entering the underground palace. The horn fluttered, and even the shadow could not be seen. The craftsman thought he was delusional, so he didn't dare to mention it to others.

Yuan Jing was shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to investigate, but once the three stone valves in the underground palace were lowered, how can the force of ten thousand catties be opened by human power?The prime minister made a decisive decision and ordered the craftsman to be detained. Anyone who heard the news was also ordered not to mention it.After closing the door, the sad look on his face couldn't be hidden: the Chu family army had already made a fuss about welcoming the general back, and now they must know that he was buried in the underground palace—and it was in the Chu family. After the army's bloody battle, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no mutiny when the army wins a big victory.

Yuan Jing was not worried that Chu Yu would suspect that he had forced the death of General Shenwu, but he was afraid that he would start a big fight when he first took on a big responsibility, and he didn't know if he could suppress it. It's better to come back to discuss the countermeasures. In addition, after two or three months of separation, I also feel a little missing in my heart.So the next morning, he ordered people to send the imperial decree and six boxes of rewards to the frontier station.

In the middle of October, the coldness in northern Xinjiang gradually began to rise.The Chu family's army worked hard for more than a month before everything was settled.Chu Shao asked himself to go to Yulin Guan Shanhou, but was summoned back by a celebration banquet.He started late, and when he arrived at the camp, there was already cheers everywhere, and drunk soldiers could be seen everywhere.The Chu family's army is very strict in governing the army. It is absolutely forbidden to drink and have fun on weekdays. This kind of scene is extremely rare. Chu Shao was taken aback. When a soldier saw him, he said respectfully: "Lord Captain, the general has been waiting for you for a long time."

When Chu Shao opened the tent door, he smelled a strong smell of intoxication. Several veterans were helped by others, and they walked towards his big tent drunkenly, saying vaguely: "The general brought us this wine. , it was brewed in the year when I first came here, I want to leave a jar for him..."

Chu Yu followed them, met Chu Shao head-on, and said, "I am going to call you." He changed into a dark-colored uniform today, with the neckline slightly open, and a jade lock was vaguely visible on his neck. With broad shoulders and a broad chest, he looked burly and extraordinary, but he lacked a bit of the fierceness on the battlefield.

Chu Shao prevaricated: "There are still some things to finish at Yulin Pass."

Chu Yu smiled and didn't pierce it. He turned around and took two narrow-necked jugs, and threw them into his arms: "You came just in time, and you are so bored in there. Come with me for a walk."

The two left the camp gate and walked along the river.At that time, the wind was clear and the sky was wide, a bright moon quietly fell in the middle of the river, and the cold wind blew, and the moon's shadow floated.Chu Yu took a sip of the wine and looked at the water in a leisurely manner without saying a word.The two were silent for a long time, and Chu Shao plucked up his courage and said, "Brother, just now those veterans are talking about bringing back their father?"

For this matter, Chu Yu had to listen to their noise every now and then, and he was used to it, so he said casually, "Yes."

Chu Shao didn't know his intentions, so he weighed his words and said: "Uncles have followed father for decades, and they will inevitably miss him. It's definitely not dissatisfaction with you. Don't take it to heart."

Chu Yu seemed to be amused and said: "Why would I care about them." He glanced to the side, saw his second brother's look sad, and suddenly understood: "What? Are you still blaming me for ordering to release arrows?"

Chu Shao was a little afraid of this unsmiling elder brother since he was a child, but when he reunited this time, seeing that he has a much milder temper, he is not so afraid of him anymore.But after the Yulin Pass battle, he realized that his eldest brother hadn't changed all these years.Hearing this, his heart skipped a beat. Seeing that he was still looking at him, he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "I just think there may be a better solution."

Chu Yu smiled nonchalantly, and looked at the river again: "The common people fall into the hands of the enemy, like sheep entering the den of tigers and wolves, slaughtering all the tigers and wolves, or some of their lives will be saved. The kindness of women can only make them die one by one by the knife. .” Patted him on the shoulder: “If you really want to protect them, you can make your arrows faster, so that those tigers and wolves have no time to swing their knives.”

Chu Shao knew that what he said was reasonable, but the tragedy of that day was still vivid in his mind, and his heart was still heavy, so he nodded silently.

A few young soldiers took advantage of today's celebration and sneaked out of the camp to hunt. At this time, they came back with some wild animals, shoulder to shoulder.Leng Buding met the coach head-on, so frightened that he knelt down to plead guilty, spread his hands, and the unbound wild animal flew into the sky and disappeared in an instant.Only a little wolf with white hair and gray ears couldn't tell the direction, and jumped headlong in front of Chu Yu while fleeing in a hurry. Chu Yu looked down and saw that its bright eyes were wet, as if covered with a layer of water vapor. The flagon was handed to Chu Shao, and he bent down to pick it up.This little thing is only two or three months old, and the way it scratches and bites when it is frightened is also very cute.The soldiers kneeling on the ground felt a little strange when they saw the commander, who was always imposing, with a very gentle expression when stroking the little wolf.

Chu Shao looked at it for a while, and said: "There are also beast tamer slaves in the army. If you like it, brother, just let them tame it."

Chu Yu said with a smile: "What do I like, but seeing that its minions are not good enough, I can use it to amuse children."

Chu Shao froze for a moment: "Children?"

Chu Yu pinched the back of the little wolf's neck and threw it to the kneeling soldier: "Find a cage to put it in."

Several people were at a loss, but seeing that the coach had no intention of reprimanding them, they cheered in their hearts, and hurriedly took the wolf cub away carefully.After a while, the riverside returned to calm. Chu Yu took the jug and respected Chu Shao: "You have worked hard these days, come back tomorrow, and I will send someone to replace you at the station."

Chu Shao immediately said: "Yes, my brother ordered me to obey my orders. I don't know why my brother called me back?"

Chu Yu said: "I'm going back to the capital, I can't trust others, so you come and sit in the Chinese army for me."

Chu Shao was surprised: "Back to Beijing? So soon?"

Chu Yu originally wanted to wait until he found the antidote before going back, but when he turned around just now, his thoughts suddenly became uncontrollable. He looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Well, if you don't go back, that little wolf cub just now Grow up."

When they returned to the camp, most of the generals were full of wine and food, and most of them were asleep, but Fang Qing was waiting at the door, saying that the emperor sent someone to pass the decree.Chu Yu calculated the time it took for the battle report to be delivered, and said with a smile, "It's not too late." Then he brought Fang Qing and Chu Shao into the account.

There were six boxes neatly placed inside, the lids of which were half-opened, and the bright golden light could be faintly seen.There were two white-faced and beardless internal officials standing beside him, one of them held the imperial decree in his hand, and smiled at Chu Yu: "I shouldn't have disturbed the general late at night, but the emperor urged me so hard that I dare not neglect, forgive me for having the imperial decree at hand. I can't salute you anymore."

The oil lamp in the tent was dim, Chu Yu saw that this person was a bit unfamiliar, so he omitted the politeness, and said in a gentle voice: "It should be like this, I have to pass the order to you." He half-kneeled in front of him with military etiquette.The inner officer cleared his throat, unfolded the imperial decree, and recited it aloud.When Chu Yu heard this, he laughed secretly in his heart, as expected he was urged to go back, he missed Yuan Jing all night, and now he suddenly became the one missed, his heart fluttered.Drinking a hundred bottles of wine today is not as intoxicating as a single word.When he got up, his tone was more gentle: "Mr. Lao made this trip."

The inner officer said with a smile: "What is the general? You are a great hero of the imperial court. It is a slave's honor to run errands for you." He waved his hand, and the younger inner officer standing behind him stepped forward: "This is fine wine from His Majesty. Congratulations to the General for his great victory." He poured a glass of wine himself, brought it to him, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty still has something to tell you."

Chu Yu picked it up casually, saw him looking at him with piercing eyes, put it back again, and said with a smile: "Oh, what are you talking about?"

The internal officer looked behind him with some embarrassment, and Chu Shao hurriedly said, "Brother, I'll wait outside." He nodded at the two and went out.Fang Qing glanced at him, got his tacit consent, and followed him away.

When the tent door was closed, the surroundings became quiet, and the subtle voices that hadn't been noticed before suddenly became clear.Chu Yu turned around and returned to the main seat, beckoned, motioned for them to come over, and ordered the young internal officer to pour wine for him.This person seems to have been on duty for a while, and his movements are not very quick. When serving the wine, his wrists trembled slightly, and he spilled some wine, and his head immediately dropped even lower.Chu Yu glanced at him, received it in his hand, and said calmly: "Your heart beats fast?"

The man's expression changed, and he said in embarrassment: "This journey has been in a hurry, and I'm a little tired..." The last word fell, and a silver light flashed, and it was he who pulled out a short knife from his sleeve and pointed it straight at the Chu Yu stabbed at the waist.Chu Yu's expression remained unchanged, he raised his arm lightly, and knocked the dagger into the air.Hearing a creepy sound of bone breaking, the inner officer let out a muffled grunt, his neck bone tilted to the side unnaturally, and he was already dead.

Chu Yu kicked him away, put his hands on the armrest of the seat, and nodded at the elderly inner officer: "Didn't you say you have something to tell me?"

Seeing that the matter was brought to light, how could the man have anything to say?The flattering expression on his face changed, his right hand was poked into his sleeve, and as soon as the light of the knife came out, his steps flew like flying, like Bai Lian frightened the sky, causing a burst of cold air, the solitary lamp in the tent was extinguished by the sword's edge, in the darkness, only his ghosts A voice sounded like: "Your Majesty, please go all the way!"

Chu Yu sneered, and slapped the table with one palm, the two-inch thick sandalwood table was broken into two halves, he kicked up and hit each other with the table, but just as the attack came out, he felt the qi and blood in the dantian surge , a sharp pain gushed out from the whole body, and the throat was even sweeter.He knew the way of others in his heart, and in a fit of rage, he stood up and attacked each other.But as soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy in his head, his hands and feet were even more numb, and when he moved his toes, he fell to the side.He saw the opportunity very quickly, touched a stone inkstone, and smashed it with all his strength.

When the stone inkstone fell to the ground, the tent door slammed, and two people rushed in at the same time.As soon as Fang Qing smelled blood, the long sword in his waist was unsheathed, using a ray of moonlight to block this person's attack.Seeing that the two of them were wrestling together and they didn't need their help, Chu Shao hurriedly went to the back to check on Chu Yu's injuries: "Brother, what's the matter with you?" After saying something, there was a sharp pain on his wrist, he looked down and saw a long snake with a pointed head more than two feet, biting his veins.

Chu Yu's eyes were already blurred. Hearing Chu Shao's muffled snort, he raised his hand and pulled.When the consciousness dissipated, the strength in the hand stopped.In a haze, he heard Fang Qing calling him loudly from beside him, his throat moved, and he said in a difficult voice: "Don't... disturb others..." A sense of exhaustion that he had never felt before hit him, and he fell asleep right away.

I don't know how long I slept, but I felt waves of heat coming over my body, my eyes were flickering, and there were whispers of chatter in my ears.He tried his best to open his eyes, and the dizziness was overturned like a storm, and his chest was so heavy that he was blind and couldn't see anything.He clenched his fists tightly and looked at the top of the tent. After a while, he gradually saw a glimmer of light.

Fang Qing kept watch over him for several days, and seeing him wake up, she was overjoyed, and hurriedly called Chi Zhu over to check his pulse.Chi Zhu had only slept for half an hour before she was woken up and muttered, "I told you earlier, will it be okay if I take my medicine?" Fang Qingzhao kicked her ass, so she didn't dare to complain.After concentrating on the diagnosis for a moment, he said: "The poison has almost melted away, and the high fever has also subsided. It will be fine after more than ten days." Bring the decoction simmering on the stove, and carefully serve him to drink.

The slightly sweet concoction entered his throat, Chu Yu gradually recovered, and his voice was still a little hoarse when he spoke: "How long have I been sleeping?"

Fang Qing hurriedly said: "General, you have been asleep for three or four days."

Chu Yu closed his eyes tiredly, sat for a while, finally couldn't hold on, and lay down again, the previous scene flashed in his mind, and said again: "How is my second brother?"

Fang Qing uncomfortably tucked the quilt up for him, not daring to look at him: "The poison of the snake has been pulled out."

Hearing his strange tone, Chu Yu glanced at him: "What else?"

Fang Qing and Chi Zhu looked at each other, the latter shrank his neck, and muttered in a low voice: "It's not my fault, I can only detoxify, not heal injuries."

Chu Yu had just recovered from a serious injury, and was extremely tired. He blinked his eyes a few times, and almost exhausted all his willpower to keep himself from falling asleep.Now hearing these two people playing charades in an unclear manner, he said with some displeasure: "Speak."

Fang Qing said in a low voice: "Although the poison has been pulled out, the second young master's hand tendon is injured, and it may be difficult to clear it completely. In the future, I may not be as comfortable as before when riding a bow and horse."

Chu Yu's eyebrows trembled, and the dantian was even more enthusiastic. After a while, he said, "Have you been visited by the military doctor?"

Fang Qing said: "I've seen it." He sighed softly and didn't continue.Chu Yu lay down for a while with his eyes closed, and sat up with his arms stretched out. Fang Qing asked hurriedly, "Why are you up?"

The blackness on Chu Yu's face hadn't dissipated yet, upon hearing this, he just shook his head, expressing that he was fine: "Have you found out the identities of those two?"

Fang Qing hesitated and said: "I have sent someone to investigate, and it is indeed from the palace." After saying a word, she looked at him worriedly.

Chu Yu didn't know Fang Qing's thoughts, thought for a moment, and said, "Bring the imperial decree, and I'll look at it again."

Chi Zhu hurriedly sent the imperial decree, Fang Qing asked from the side: "Can the poison be completely eliminated?" Thick felt cloth wraps the two shafts and sends them to Chu Yu.Only then did Chu Yu realize that the poison was not placed in the wine, but in the imperial decree, which quietly penetrated into the skin between touches.Unfolding the imperial decree, one can see that the seal of the emperor and the seal of Shangshusheng are impressively stamped on the lower left, which are indeed not fakes.Since he reconciled with Yuan Jing, he didn't have any doubts about Yuan Jing.

Now that he has been plotted against, there is only one thought in his mind: "Could it be that there are people with ulterior motives in the palace?" Thinking that Yuan Jing might also encounter the same danger as himself, he felt anxious for a while, and couldn't think about it, blurted out : "Get ready, I'm going back to Beijing."

Seeing that he seemed to get up, Fang Qing hurriedly said: "Your wounds haven't healed yet, so don't move around, and we haven't found out about this matter, what if it's really the emperor's intention..." In his desperation, he couldn't speak He chose to speak out the worries in his heart, but at this moment he was quite regretful and kept silent.Although Chu Yu was unconscious, he was not confused. He could tell there was something in his words, and asked with a frown, "What do you mean by that?"

The light in the sleeping tent was dim, Fang Qing's face turned pale involuntarily when he drank it.His lips moved, trying to make up a set of rhetoric, but when he met his gaze, he couldn't say anything.At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Captain Fang Qing, your Xinying is here." Fang Qing's brain exploded, and he stood there for a long time without moving. Urge in general.Seeing that there was a chill on Chu Yu's face, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took it in with heavy steps.

Chu Yu watched him open the secret letter and dare not open it for a long time, his eyes became dark and unclear: "What is written on the letter?"

Fang Qing unconsciously clenched it tighter, his arms were heavy, and he opened them after a while. At a glance, the last trace of blood on his face faded away. He looked at Chu Yu and lost the courage to answer.

Chu Yu said slowly: "I asked you what was written in the letter?" Chi Zhu was the closest to him, and at this moment he felt a overwhelming sense of intimidation, and quietly took two steps back.

Fang Qing looked at the secret letter and said anxiously: "The letter said that Mrs. Zhaorong had a happy meeting, and it has been more than two months now."

Chu Yu sat in a shadow, his eyes could not see clearly. After a while, he only heard him chuckle: "More than two months? He can't wait as soon as I leave?" Looking at Fang Qing, seeing him He hesitated to speak, and his voice became a little colder: "You already knew?"

Fang Qing knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so she knelt down in front of him and pleaded guilty: "Yes, the night before the general captured Yulin Pass, a letter came from the palace, saying that His Majesty summoned Mrs. Zhao Rong for... seven days, with endless favors, I also ordered the prime minister to choose a famous Shuyuan for you, thinking that... the meaning of marriage. The subordinates are afraid that if you find out, you will feel uneasy, so you will hide it. Please punish the general."

Chu Yu sneered and said: "Really, then I really want to thank him." After a word, the scene of Yuan Jing lying in his arms and making love suddenly flashed on the day he left Beijing.His eyes were dimmed, and suddenly he smashed the wooden support on which the imperial decree was placed.

Seeing a line of black blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, Chi Zhu said in surprise: "Master, you have not exhausted the poison gas in your body, and you still can't use your strength."

Chu Yu pushed him away, the severe pain in his heart made him unable to maintain his previous calm, his expression became extremely terrifying: "Prepare the car!"

Fang Qing hurriedly said: "General, you have not recovered from your serious injury, so you should leave after your injury is healed." Seeing Chu Yu get up regardless, he felt anxious, and said loudly: "You can't go back now, General Shenwu has already been buried in the imperial tomb Already!"

There was dead silence in the sleeping tent, only hearing the sound of the eagle spreading its wings and about to fly, Fang Qing saw that he was not moving, and hurriedly persuaded him: "There may be other reasons for this matter, my subordinates have sent someone to investigate, you should take good care of your wounds first , It won’t be too late to go back after finding out the reason.”

Chu Yu sat for a long time, his eyes calmed down, he looked at the imperial decree, and said to himself: "No wonder you sent these two people here, so you are still guarding against me in your heart." The look of rage was ten times more terrifying, followed by a gloomy voice: "I am not allowed to confide a word about my poisoning and injury. Pass my military order, order [-] elite soldiers, and return to Beijing with me in three days. "

The author has something to say: Thank you for the nutrient solution of the snake skin monster and Ershui, and Lin Shui for the overlord ticket.
