It's hard to seal a fool
Chapter 59
In the dungeon, the damp is everywhere, exuding an unpleasant smell.Zhao Xi looked at the top of the dungeon, wondering what he was thinking.
"Hey, your bones—" Qin Shou suddenly raised his head to look at Zhao Xi. Although the injury on his leg looked serious, it was clear that he hadn't hurt any bones.
Zhao Xi squinted his eyes, his expression was calm.
"You already knew?"
"The person who executes the sentence is the secret agent that the court has placed next to the King of Jin." Zhao Xi curled up his fingers, although he still couldn't use his strength, he regained some energy. "Since you choose to survive, you have to go back with all your strength."
Qin Shou pushed away the medical tools and helped Zhao Xi to sit up and lie down. "Now that the Wu and Jin rebels have retreated to Hexi, the imperial army will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue them. You are the prince, and they will definitely come to rescue you."
"My lord will teach you one thing, Qin Shou." Zhao Xi looked at him with a half-smile, "It's better to save yourself than pin your hopes on others."
"But you're already like this, don't talk about going out, it's even hard to get out of this dungeon."
"That's not necessarily the case," an old man's voice suddenly came from behind the partition wall, and he laughed. "The overlord of Western Chu was able to carry the tripod, but in the end he lost to Liu Bang. It can be seen that sometimes high martial arts don't matter, what is useful is the brain."
"Can you hear us?" Qin Shou was alert. He and Zhao Ximing spoke in a low voice, but the person on the other side of the wall could hear him clearly.
"I can hear you. The old man's ears are really good," the chain jingled, and the old man said again, "Even if his brain is not very bright, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stay here for more than ten years."
Zhao Xi leaned his back against the wall and raised the corners of his lips. "It seems that Your Excellency is the old leader of the Southern Gu Sect."
"Young man, you actually know this old man?"
The sound of footsteps came from the entrance of the dungeon, Zhao Xi leaned his neck against the wall, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and did not continue talking.
Since the day he retrieved Princess Anhe's dossier, he had already ordered someone to find out her life experience.Those things that the King of Jin doesn't want people to know, there are always clues to follow and peep.
It is only recorded in the file that the birth mother of Princess Anhe was a witch from Dian. However, more than ten years ago, there was a sect in Dian called the Southern Gu Sect, who was also good at using Gu poison, but was beaten and punished by the old King Jin in the end. The banner of the cult was wiped out, and not long after, the girl who was born in the outer room was brought into the palace and named princess.
The jade ornaments jingled with the sound of footsteps, and Zhao Xi said something to Qin Shou softly.Qin Shou turned his head, and saw An He appearing in a delicate suit outside the cell door, looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Doctor Qin, this dungeon is too cold, why don't you change to another room, I ordered someone to prepare a heater for you."
Qin Shou stood up and walked over, looking at her through the prison door, as if she was really a little princess who had nothing to do with the world.Qin Shou turned his head to look at Zhao Xi again, thinking of what he just said, hesitantly nodded. "good."
The cell door was opened and then slowly closed again. Zhao Xi looked at the re-locked iron chain with deep eyes.
"Young man, the bigger the bet, the worse the loss."
Zhao Xi took out the pills that Qin Shou had hidden from under the pillow, and swallowed them in one gulp. "Thanks for the advice."
Qin Shou left the dungeon and followed An He all the way to her boudoir without saying a word.
The maids and women came up with buckets of hot water to bathe Qin Shou. An He originally wanted to stay, but was kicked out by Qin Shou.
After taking a bath, she changed into a long orchid-colored dress, tied up her hair tie, and applied lip balm.
Will what Zhao Xi said really work...
Qin Shou looked at himself in the mirror hesitantly, gritted his teeth and stood up.That's all, let's fight for a good brother, no matter what, we have to rescue Zhao Xi.
Qin Shou got up and went out of the house with his skirt fluttering, An He had already been dismissed.Under the corridor in the distance, the subordinate who executed Zhao Xi nodded to her.She ran all the way to the front yard and found out everything. At this point, King Jin should be doing morning exercises.
"What's your name?"
"Subordinate Xiaoliu, since Doctor Qin is a member of the virtuous prince, his subordinates must also follow his orders."
"Well, I will tell you to do one thing now."
……
The fifty-step arrow hits the target, and the heart is red in one fell swoop.The attendants around King Jin all began to praise and praise, Zhao Pisi threw away his bow and turned to get the sweat towel, but Xiao Liu suddenly fell to the ground beside him, foaming at the mouth.
"Come on, come on!"
King Jin stepped back a few steps and frowned, a burst of light fragrance rushed over, and a woman in a long skirt of orchid suddenly ran in from the courtyard, knelt down beside her, and felt her pulse calmly.
"Spread out, he needs to breathe."
Qin Shou stretched out his hand to break his mouth, so as not to bite his tongue, but the tablet had already been thrown into it with his fingertips. It didn't take long for Xiao Liu to wake up in a daze. She stood up, but the long sword suddenly fell on her neck, "Who are you? "
"The doctor in the dungeon, the princess let me out."
"Are you a woman?"
Qin Shou turned around, "My surname is Qin and Mingshou."
With the sword in its sheath, Zhao Bisi looked him up and down, "You are the miracle doctor who cured the new emperor."
"Yes."
"Brother!" An He hurried over from a distance, and pulled Qin Shou behind him, "This is not where you should come."
However, Zhao Bisi showed a playful expression.He approached An He and looked at Qin Shou, "It's okay, Miss Qin is a doctor with a benevolent heart, and Zhao was deeply touched today."
"She's mine." An He suddenly stretched out his hand to push her away, and tilted his head with a smile, "Brother, you should know why I don't want her to stay in the dungeon."
Qin Shou watched An He mark himself persistently like a wolf, delimiting his territory, and suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.Perhaps it was true as Zhao Xi said that An He also had real feelings for her, and she didn't take full advantage of it. However, she was still upset about An He running away after sleeping.
An He grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards the inner courtyard.
"What, are you angry?" Qin Shou raised the corners of his lips and began to smell tea, "You don't blame me for sneaking out, do you?"
"I don't want you to stay in the dungeon because it's damp and cold there, and I'm afraid you'll roll over with your hands on your stomach." An He stopped and turned to look at her, "I asked you to bake a stove in the house, not to You ran into my brother's martial arts yard out of nowhere while I was away!"
Qin Shou's lips raised uncontrollably, she feigned a cough, and walked in front of An He with her hands behind her back.
"Understood, I will stay in your yard from now on."
An He didn't speak behind his back.
Qin Shou pushed the door open, poured a cup of tea, and sat down at the table. Thinking of Zhao Xi's instructions, he suddenly asked, "Is your biological mother still alive?"
An He's expression turned cold all of a sudden. "what you up to?"
Qin Shou didn't care about it, and asked roundabout ways to suggest that she was not in charge, and An He would spot it sooner or later.She said directly: "The secret whistle of the imperial court can find out the whereabouts of your biological mother, and then you don't have to obey King Jin."
"Hmph," An He sneered, "Did Prince Xian teach you?"
"Yes, he asked me to bring you a message."
"Does he have other plans? For example, let you stir up conflicts between my brother and sister?"
Qin Shou panicked, and the tea soaked his fingertips. "No."
"Okay." She hooked her hands and raised Qin Shou's chin. "Since you are negotiating terms with me, I might consider it."
Qin Shou slightly turned his head away, his eyelashes trembling slightly.
But at this moment in the desolate wilderness outside, Song Qingming patted the human skin mask on his face, turned his head and jumped into the prison car.
"I only give you five days." Ning Rong pulled the horse, unable to see the expression on his face. "After these five days, you must and can only be the commander of these [-] soldiers."
"Thank you." Helping him hide from the court, what a risk it is to win these five days, Song Qingming still can't see through Ning Rong's thoughts and plans, "I accept your love, and I will pay it back next time."
"You said this sentence last time." Ning Rong shook his head and let go of the rein, "You don't need to pay it back, come back alive."
"Okay, I'll come back alive."
Song Qingming smiled and leaned against the wall of the prison cart.After so many days, it was the happiest time for him to abandon everything and enter the enemy camp alone.
Hopeful raised his hand, and a hundred or so cavalry behind him received the order and got on their saddles one after another.The prison cart was pulled by a big horse, and together with the cavalry, they embarked on a journey. The horse stepped on the wilderness and raised dust, and rushed forward without hesitation.
This group of people did not start from Cangzhou, but went around to the northwest wilderness in advance, and joined the army led by Zhuang Wu.
Until dawn, when this team of troops was about to join the army, nearly a thousand cavalrymen suddenly swooped down on the high ground, coming menacingly.
"Kill ah-"
"Enemy attack! Line up!" Wang Wang's horse held his halberd, a hundred people protected the prison cart, the leader of the enemy was Li Gou, Wang Wang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Li Gou was also stunned. "Song Wangwang, it turned out to be you."
"Traitor, you still have the face to live in this world by stepping on the young master's military exploits!" Wang Wang spat and struck with the long halberd.
Li Gou blocked the sword and looked at the prison cart in the middle. "Say! Who's in the prison van?"
Hopeful didn't say anything, just rushed into the melee.Soon the hundred or so people were unable to do what they could do, and they were expected to raise their hands and shout: "Abandon the prisoners! Retreat!"
The crowd retreated while fighting, and the cavalry under him wanted to chase again. Li Gou raised his hand to stop them, and reined in his horse to come to the prison cart.
In the prison car, there was a captured barbarian soldier. He saw Li Gou hurriedly grabbed the wooden pillar and rushed towards him, uttering a series of barbarian language.
Li Gou frowned slightly. "Can you speak official language?"
Seeing that Li Gou couldn't understand the Hunyi language, the Hunyi man sat back in disgust and said in blunt military officer's language: "You are the army of King Jin of Dawu. But I retreated, I was sent by Zuo Xianwang, if King Jin can't promise the envoy to attack the northwest, my clan will also retreat from the border!"
"General, it seems that the envoy of Hun Yi came to see the King of Jin. On the way, he encountered a scout sent by the imperial army and was captured." The subordinates rode forward and whispered, "It's better to take it back to the King of Jin."
Li Gou looked around the prison cart, he had been at the border for many years, it is true that this person is a barbarian, not to mention that he is proficient in the barbarian language and can't fake it.Now that he has been lying in ambush here for many days, he has never waited until Song Qingming. If he can bring this rogue emissary back, perhaps King Jin can also spare him punishment.
He broke the chain with a sword, ordered the horse to be led to the barbarian, and tightened the rein to go forward. "Ming Jin retreats, return to camp!"
Behind him, the "Hunyi Man" saddled his horse, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.
"Hey, your bones—" Qin Shou suddenly raised his head to look at Zhao Xi. Although the injury on his leg looked serious, it was clear that he hadn't hurt any bones.
Zhao Xi squinted his eyes, his expression was calm.
"You already knew?"
