General Chu

That night, while Zhou Tianzi was sleeping soundly in the military tent, someone rushed in to report that some food and grass had been lost due to the enemy's night attack and the defense in the southwest had been breached.

"What about casualties?"

"There were no casualties, the enemy only fired two arrows and left."

In the middle of the night, all the raiders returned to the camp, Mo Wen hurried out of the tent and came to you, asking, is the arrangement ready?

The general gave a thumbs up and said, all right.

Letting go of the heart that had been hanging all this time, Mo Wen turned his head and looked towards the east. In a dark place that he couldn't see, on the way from Xuancheng to Suiguo, Su Yingmiao was leading a few people away at a high speed.

Su Yingmiao looked back at the Huxie army camp amidst the sound of horseshoes like thunder running.The team that succeeded in the sneak attack was returning from afar, the flames lit up.He looked back, just a soldier's instinct, awe of the danger of every mission.But he didn't want to, that time looking back and looking at Mo Wen through the dark night really became the last look before everything collapsed.When he came back, he was seriously injured.

They knew each other when they were young, and they depended on each other for life until now.This time the wind and rain were dark, but Su Yingmiao had to face it alone.

The dim light in the early morning shone in the Chengqing Hall, and the wind blew the curtains, making it look lazy.

Han Shaoqing knelt in front of the couch for a long time, begging Chu Zi to listen to him.

Xu Liwenyuan slept for a cycle and woke up to find that he was still there. He said impatiently, you are endless, the lonely king said that he will not doubt the employment!

Han Shaoqing raised his head and said hoarsely, is it because of General Mo?Are the rumors true?

Xu Li Wenyuan smiled and said, the lonely king does not know what the people say about us, but as long as I am in power, no one can shake his general position.

From last night to today, Han Shaoqing has said everything he can say, everything that should be said and what should not be said. Even though his eloquence is as famous as Li Jinghua, he is just staring at the ground in a daze at this moment.But as a counselor, he was still unwilling to get up like this, so he said in a low voice, Your Majesty, there must be no blind spots in governing the country.Even if you trust General Mo enough, what about General Su?Do you also trust him?As the deputy general of the Tiger Eclipse Army, he privately mobilized the troops of the subordinate countries, no matter what the reason was, shouldn't he investigate to the end?

Xu Liwenyuan paused, and muttered, "Arbitrarily dispatching troops?"

"Yes. I don't know if this is General Mo's order. I only know that if he has a different heart, our country will be in danger!" Han Shaoqing stared at Xu Liwenyuan's face as he spoke, then seized the moment of the person in front of him and said hesitantly , Your Majesty, I am willing to solve your problems for you!

Xu Liwenyuan paused for a while and said, go and check, as soon as possible.

Han Shaoqing was ordered to leave, and when he got up, he couldn't stand still, staggered, and stumbled towards the outside of the hall.It's strange, but the person who is obviously hunched over gives people an illusion of relief, a kind of relief that can't be suppressed even in the dark night.

Five days later, some soldiers in the Tianzi barracks became ill and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.The poison spread extremely quickly, and within three days, nearly one-third of the soldiers in the Zhou camp fell.Zhou Tianzi ordered the army to retreat ten miles and changed a group of cooking soldiers to finally rule out the source of the poison, but he couldn't save the poisoned person after searching for famous doctors.Just when people in the Zhou camp were panicking, the secret report from Tianliang City arrived. There were only two words, and it was a success.

The envoy sent by Emperor Zhou to negotiate with Mo Wen arrived early in the morning, and waited patiently outside the tent to be summoned by Mo Wen.He is full of patience and certainty, because he has enough chips in his hand to tilt the balance.

He stood outside the tent for two hours. It was not until sunset and dusk that there was a rustling sound inside the tent. He was ushered in. He stood in the court and looked at Mo Wen with a slight smile.

"What? Is it so confident if the source of the poison is under control? But I guess the emperor still hasn't found a cure for this poison. Otherwise, you wouldn't come here today. To be honest, if this poison has no medicine for a long time, it can kill people. The poisoned person will gradually become depressed in the festering torment, and finally the intestines will be pierced."

"General Mo is as good as a god. But you still have to hand over the antidote today. This round is a draw."

Mo Wen asked with a smile, where is your hole card?

The envoy also laughed and said, "I'll be there soon."

After finishing this sentence, the two fell silent, looking at each other with eyes that wished to cut each other to pieces.

During this tedious waiting, Mo Wen waited for his old buddy.

Su Yingmiao was helped into the tent, and when she saw Mo Wen, she couldn't hold on anymore and knelt down on one knee.The servant next to him tried his best but failed to help him up, holding back the sweat on his forehead and tears all over his face.

In the first few seconds, Mo Wen was stunned, and for a moment, he didn't recognize the blue-faced, weak and half-kneeling person in front of him as his old friend who was full of vigor.He instinctively asked the valet, what happened?

"Ming Shuai! General Su has been poisoned, today is the fourth day."

Mo Wen hesitated, and slowly turned to look at the envoy.

The man smiled at him, and then said, I think General Mo should understand what my cards are by now.

Before he could finish speaking, he was pushed down to the ground with his face on the ground.

Mo Wen helped Su Yingmiao go to the seat, and said in a low voice, the envoy is there, the antidote will be there soon, you hold on.

Su Yingmiao grinned and teased him, why didn't you talk to me so tenderly before, but now you're afraid that I'm going to die?

At that time, he had no idea that his blue face, white lips, and white smile were uglier than crying.

Before the order was given, a few servants had already pushed the envoy to the ground and beat him until his mouth and nose were bloody.Mo Wen kicked the person over and asked, where is the antidote?

The man coughed twice, looked up at him, and said, if one item is exchanged for another item, doesn't the life of our soldiers not count as fate?

Mo Wen was about to take it out of his arms when he heard Su Yingmiao shouting behind him: Ming Rong, you are not stupid.I am infected with wolfsbane, have you heard that wolfsbane can be cured during the march?

The envoy knelt on the ground and suddenly struggled violently when he heard the words: wolf poison, how is it possible!My king still needs your life to exchange the lives of those 30 soldiers, how could it be wolf poison!

Mo Wen said nothing, waved his hand and said to several servants, take him down.

In fact, from the moment Su Yingmiao entered the door, he knew it was Wolf's Poison, but he subconsciously refused to believe it.But no matter how much he didn't want to believe the truth was right in front of him.

Su Yingmiao called him from the couch, but when he got close, she didn't know what to say, so she just kept quiet.He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Mo Wen was about to cry. He only knew that Mo Wen had always been emotionally restrained, and he never expected to see Mo Wen cry in his lifetime.Thinking about it, I couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, I was silent for a moment, and said in a strange way, if I died today, you would definitely not give the antidote.My life is exchanged for more than 30 enemy soldiers with gutted stomachs, no matter how you think about it, it is a good deal.

Mo Wen sat beside him, put down the pillow, and helped him change his posture. After a long time, he said in a low voice, it's not worth it.

Yes, how could it be cost-effective, let alone 30 enemy troops, even a million people have nothing to do with him.But this time the god of death grabbed his hand, he had no choice but to use Su Yingmiao's death in exchange for the lives of 30 enemy soldiers.

"Tell me, who is it?"

Su Yingmiao smiled and said, the enemy.

"Cheat me? When are you still lying to me? You didn't even have any trauma on your body and said no enemy soldiers! Will you let strangers get close?"

Su Yingmiao suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach, clutching her stomach and frowning for a long time, then said, it was Han Shaoqing.

"Chu people? Shaoqing? Do you take orders from others?"

Mo Wen didn't know this person well for three years in Beijing, but they had no enmity with the Chu people, and there was only one person in Chu who could make a young minister take action.

When I thought about it, the sky fell apart.

"I should have stabbed myself before entering the door to prevent you from guessing." Su Yingmiao smiled and brought back his thoughts that slipped away. After a moment of silence, she said in a low voice, you and I grew up together and have never been taught. What, all I want in life is pleasure, and I think you are too.But now you have what you really want. As a close friend, I hope you will seek kindness and benevolence.When I meet you in Huangquan a hundred years later, come and tell me, what is the difference between living this life for yourself and for others.

It's hard to say how long the companionship will be, and from then on, I hope that person will know his confidant again.

That night, Su Yingmiao rested early and kicked Mo Wen out early.Mo Wen stood outside his door, quietly acting as a night watchman.Guarding the country for decades, three thousand miles of rivers and mountains.When he was with Su Yingmiao in the past, his heart and eyes were filled with enmity between the country and the family. It was not until today that he remembered to look back at his old friend.

Su Yingmiao was inside the door, enduring the pain of thousands of ants biting her bones, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so she stabbed herself in the chest with the dagger she carried with her, and blood spurted out everywhere.

The person on the couch gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Mo Wen didn't want to miss his every breath, so he stood outside the door for a whole night, from darkness to daylight.But the people inside the door did not get up in the end.

In the morning, the servant came to deliver breakfast, and he lifted the curtain to go in. After a loud noise of pottery shattering, the servant came out again, lowered his head, and said tremblingly to Mo Wen, General Su, he is gone.

A light word, but it weighed a thousand catties in Mo Wen's ears.

He was silent, with thick night mist in his eyes.

When the valet went in to pack his things, he saw that the couch was covered with blood, only the Luoyue sword was standing cleanly by the side, waiting for the chance to draw it out as usual.

Mo Wen stared at the sharp blade for a long time, then crouched down little by little, clutching his chest.

Beginning with sword fighting, and ending with sword tactics.Su Yingmiao died, since then no one can go into the enemy camp with him, no one can cross Tonglu Mountain.

When Su Yingmiao's body was wrapped in a white cloth and carried out of the tent, the envoy sent by Zhou Tianzi just returned to Zhou Ying.His clothes were all torn, his hair was disheveled, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, so he returned to the commander's tent.

Zhou Tianzi was startled when he saw the person coming, instinctively took two steps back, and asked, what's wrong with you?What about the antidote?

"My lord, Su Yingmiao has wolf's poison, and there is no cure for it. The negotiation failed, and Mo Wen was furious. I can come back today because Mo Wen has something to say, otherwise I would have been dismembered."

"Lone wolf's poison? Who dared to use wolf's poison against Gu's order? What if Su Yingmiao dies in that lonely army?"

Zhou Tianzi staggered back two steps, looking at Chu Ying with fear in his eyes.
