When Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang walked into Jun Chengrong's military tent, Jun Chengrong was lying on the bed, and his face didn't look very good. Thinking about it, whoever narrowly escaped from the enemy's general's weapon will not look any better, and he was not defeated by himself, but he was just rescued, and he was saved by someone who was not convinced by him.
"Why is the eldest prince uncomfortable?" Ling Qiyang asked.
Jun Chengrong didn't know if it was a psychological effect, and he said weakly: "I was fighting against the enemy general, but suddenly my heart hurt so badly that I couldn't breathe."
"Why do you suddenly feel uncomfortable in your heart? Have you ever had this kind of symptom before?" Even Ling Qiyang himself found it amused by his false inquiry. But there is no way, it is better to do enough acting.
Jun Chengrong shook his head, "Never. There is an imperial doctor in the palace who checks the Ping'an pulse regularly, and there is nothing abnormal, and I have always been healthy." He was also very worried about whether he had some disease.
"Does your heart still hurt now?" Ling Qiyang asked.
"It's not as painful as before, but it's still sore and I can't breathe heavily." Jun Chengrong said truthfully.
"If you don't mind, let me take your pulse." Ling Qiyang said.
Jun Chengrong nodded quickly and stretched out his arm.
Ling Qiyang took his pulse, and Jun Chengrong was indeed in good health, if Jun Lixuan hadn't told him that his master had given him medicine, he really wouldn't be able to diagnose why. Ling Qiyang lowered his face pretendingly, his brows were deeply frowned, as if his expression was serious, and seeing Jun Chengrong, his heart became more and more uncertain.
After a while, Ling Qiyang withdrew his hand and asked: "Did the eldest prince let the other imperial physicians see it? Qiyang is not talented, so I have to ask other imperial physicians for their opinions."
Hearing what he said, Jun Chengrong became even more entangled, and said: "I asked them to come and see, but they didn't find out why, and it doesn't seem like I have a heart disease."
Ling Qiyang nodded, "It's really not a heart disease, but the heart disease can be big or small, and it can't be ignored. And your symptoms come on suddenly..." Ling Qiyang seemed to think of something, hesitant to speak.
"If you have something to say, it's okay to say it." Jun Chengrong now desperately wanted an answer.
Ling Qiyang hesitated for a moment, and said: "I'm not sure yet, I've only read this conjecture in ancient books, please don't be impatient, the eldest prince, and let me know when I'm sure about it."
Jun Chengrong frowned, he often heard people in the army exaggerating Ling Qiyang's medical skills, but now he hesitated like this, which made him even more uncertain, and only felt that he had some incurable disease.
Seeing him anxious, Ling Qiyang comforted him: "Don't worry, the First Prince, with Master here, everything will be fine."
Hearing him mention the medical sage, Jun Chengrong was somewhat relieved, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"The eldest prince is polite. You should have a good rest first, and don't work hard." Ling Qiyang put away the medicine box.
Jun Lixuan, who had been silent for a while, took Ling Qiyang's medicine box, ordered the soldiers to take good care of the eldest prince, and took them away. Looking at Ling Qiyang's rather genuine expression just now, he found it very interesting.
Back in the military tent, Jun Lixuan pinched the tip of Ling Qiyang's nose and said with a smile: "Little thing, you did a good job."
"It's not too difficult. Besides, the eldest prince thinks it's a serious illness. As long as I show a little bit of difficulty, he will think in a serious direction." In other words, he just took advantage of the eldest prince's thoughts.
"Then what's next?" Jun Lixuan asked.
"I'll go to Master's place to stay for an hour in a while, so that people think I'm going to discuss my illness with Master." Ling Qiyang laughed.
"It's better to ask Master to come over. After all, you go to Master's tent with a small goal. When Master comes, the goal is bigger. Everyone in the army is staring at the main tent. Presumably when Master comes in, the news will reach Big Brother." Jun Lixuan said with a half-smile. He is strict in running the army, but no matter how strict he is, he will talk a lot. He is not worried about this, because sometimes some words can be spread deliberately, and the desired purpose can be achieved, so why not do it
Ling Qiyang felt that Jun Lixuan's words made sense, so he nodded.
Jun Lixuan asked Mingli to invite Gu Yao.
After Gu Yao came, he didn't ask any more questions. He just taught Ling Qiyang some medical theories, and asked Ling Qiyang to prescribe a few prescriptions for him to read according to the illness he said. He felt that what he had learned was not bad, so he nodded in satisfaction.
In this way, an hour passed. Before Gu Yao left, news came from the spy in front of him, saying that the emperor of Chize Kingdom had heard that King Lin had come to quell the chaos, and ordered his own conquest. Although there were oppositions in the court, it seemed that they were no match for Emperor Chi Ze's insistence on going his own way. It is imperative to come to Yujia to conquer.
After getting the news, Jun Lixuan invited King You and his subordinates to plan. Before leaving, Gu Yao was asked to stay and have dinner with Ling Qiyang before going back.
Gu Yao looked at him, and said in a rare way: "Emperor Chize's personal conquest is nothing to fear. Although Yujia's personal conquest can boost morale, Chize's dispatch of troops this time is not popular among the people. The soldiers who are accustomed to comfort must just obey. It's just the emperor's order, and he doesn't really want to fight. Therefore, whether Emperor Chize's visit to supervise the battle this time will boost morale or just increase dissatisfaction is another matter."
Zhize was the one who started the war, so the soldiers naturally couldn't feel any pride in protecting their family and the country. Moreover, the originally comfortable life was disrupted, and even the family was destroyed. With Emperor Chize's current temper and reputation, it's really unknown what will happen to the army.
"Thank you, master, for your suggestion." Jun Lixuan nodded and nodded.
Gu Yao didn't say anything more, Jun Lixuan smiled at Ling Qiyang, turned and left the military tent.
The reason why Gu Yao is willing to mention Jun Lixuan a little bit is that after getting along with each other these days, he feels that Jun Lixuan is okay with Ling Qiyang, at least much better than he thought. Although I can't completely rest assured, at least I can let go of some prejudices.
The next day, Jun Lixuan was still busy with military matters, for the sake of safety, the eldest prince could not go out for the time being, and could only rest in peace, the army was quite quiet.
In the afternoon, Ling Qiyang came to Jun Chengrong's military tent with a serious expression.
Jun Chengrong sat up with the support of Xiao Bing, leaned on the pillow and asked, "How is it?"
"I asked Master yesterday. Master said that based on your current symptoms, it doesn't look like a disease, but more like a Gu." Ling Qiyang said.
"Gu?!" Jun Chengrong's eyes widened, his face was panicked, obviously frightened. He asked again uncertainly, "You mean the thing in the south?"
"Yes." Ling Qiyang nodded. Since Jun Chengrong knew a little about Gu, he didn't need to waste his time talking, "Your symptoms came on suddenly, and there is no pathology. Since you went out for the expedition, you have always been here and there from time to time. Feeling unwell should be caused by this Gu."
Jun Chengrong listened carefully to Ling Qiyang's words, not daring to miss a single word.
"When my master traveled to the south, he once heard a senior with excellent medical skills say that a patient with the same symptoms as yours initially thought it was a physical discomfort. Later, his heart ached and he often couldn't breathe, and finally died suddenly. The old man The senior once opened up that person's corpse and looked at it, the heart seemed to be bitten by something, and found a Gu worm in the broken flesh." Ling Qiyang tried to speak vividly, this was not made up by Ling Qiyang, but by his master I once heard a true story from his master. It sounded like it could be related to the First Prince's illness, so he simply used it.
After hearing Ling Qiyang's words, Jun Chengrong's face suddenly turned pale, and he was about to vomit. Ling Qiyang quickly handed him a cup of tea.
After drinking the tea, Jun Chengrong calmed down a bit, then suddenly became nervous and asked: "So, someone wants my prince's life?!"
Ling Qiyang nodded, "My master doesn't know exactly what this Gu is called, but there is only one solution, which is to find the person who gave you the Gu."
Jun Chengrong frowned and said, "The sea of people is so vast, how can I find them?"
"According to the time, this Gu should have been planted in the capital. Since the other party wants your life, they will not leave the capital easily. The appearance and dress of the people in the south are different from ours. Someone has seen this person with special appearance and weird behavior." Ling Qiyang frowned and said: "The capital is the place of the royal family, and the eldest prince is also the prince, so naturally it is his place. It is much easier to find someone in your own place. "Jun Chengrong was very relieved to hear this, nodded and said: "That's right. As long as you go back to Beijing, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to find someone!"
"To tell you the truth, similar things happened in the army in the capital before. Those people sleepwalked and killed people in the middle of the night, which was also a symptom of being infected by Gu. But the real culprit was not found." Ling Qiyang sighed slightly, "This matter was originally It must be kept secret, but when you encounter this kind of thing now, I think it is better to tell you, so that you can have a solid foundation in your heart."
"Really?" Hearing what he said, Jun Chengrong was even more sure that he had been poisoned.
"Yes. This matter is still in the confidential stage. I hope the eldest prince can keep this secret and investigate it in private, so as not to startle the snake. If that person hears the news and escapes from the capital, your life will be really in danger." Ling Qiyang paused for a moment, and then said: "If the eldest prince can find the person who committed the Gu, he can also share his worries for the emperor. The emperor will also be grateful for the eldest prince's filial piety, and it can be regarded as a crime."
Jun Chengrong immediately patted and said, "You are right. Thank you for your good idea this time. My prince will write a book right now, and please allow me to return to Beijing."
Ling Qiyang nodded, "Prince, you are polite. Later, I will ask the prince to tell the emperor about the condition of the elder brother truthfully. I believe the emperor will also worry about your health and let you go back to Beijing to recuperate. My master has a blind prescription that can delay Gu The erosion in the medium, I will send it over when I make it into pills."
"So, thank you so much, brother."
"Brother, you are welcome, you should."
Afterwards, Jun Chengrong asked Xiao Bing to study ink, and quickly wrote a note, which was sent to Emperor Yanxi without any mistakes.
Coming out of the first prince's military tent, Ling Qiyang let out a long breath, this scene can be regarded as over...
For a period of time after that, Jun Lixuan was busy with the deployment of the army, and he wanted to take back a city before the arrival of Emperor Chize. The enemy army still invades from time to time, but they are not to be feared.
When Jun Lixuan was busy at the front line, Ling Qiyang was in the medical tent helping the military doctor treat the wounded. Gu Yao would show up occasionally, but mostly just to see if Ling Qiyang needed help, and leave without incident.
Jun Chengrong has been anxiously waiting for the emperor's imperial decree to let him return to Beijing. Because of his health, he was also afraid of another accident, so he has been raised in the tent and no longer participates in the war.
Ten days later, Jun Lixuan gathered his army and prepared to take the neighboring city of Fengzhou, which was occupied by Chi Ze, in one fell swoop. Before the battle, Jun Lixuan pulled Ling Qiyang closer, touched his lips lightly, and said in a low voice: "Be good and wait for me to come back."
Ling Qiyang nodded, but he was worried but couldn't help it.
The sound of war drums sounded, and the battle went out of the city. Ling Qiyang ran up the tower, looked at the back of the heroic figure from a distance, and felt mixed feelings in his heart.
The army split up according to the previously determined strategy. After killing two lieutenants of the enemy army, Jun Lixuan forced the main general out of Fengzhou City. Jun Lixuan didn't wait too long, and directly confronted the general.
On the other side, Ling Hongzhi led the vanguard to kill a bloody road, and the next team, led by the lieutenant general, began to push the cart and crashed into the city gate under the protection of the shield soldiers. And a little farther away, the soldiers and another team of soldiers were using machine guns and catapults to shoot and kill the archers on the enemy tower. In order to protect the team that hit the goal.
Jun Lixuan didn't use the ladder this time. Looking at him, this is the most useless method, with high sacrifice and low success rate.
Another lieutenant commanded the rest of the army and strangled the enemy soldiers.
All of a sudden, the battlefield was full of sand and smoke, and the sound of battle was like boiling. Jun Lixuan was still fighting with the general. At this point in the battle, the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed. If he killed the general at this time, the enemy might be stimulated and fight out. The enemy can die, but as the general, he still has to take care of the lives of his own soldiers.
When he was unable to attack for a long time, a black shadow flew into the city gate from behind. Quickly throw pill-sized fire mine bombs and smoke bombs into the fist-sized door that was finally knocked out. Then he said coldly: "Back!"
The lieutenant immediately made his men retreat, and the city gate closed instantly. In the blink of an eye, a loud noise was heard, followed by the screams of the enemy.
The lieutenant clasped his fists at Gu Yao who came, and made people continue to knock on the door. This time it went very smoothly, and the broken latch was knocked open within two strokes.
Ye Jun saw that the city gate had been opened, and the deputy general said "Come on", and the soldiers rushed into the city gate, occupying buildings and land. Seeing that the time had come, Jun Lixuan beheaded the general within ten strokes, and after putting ballistas and catapults behind him, he entered the city together with Ling Hongzhi's vanguard army.
Two hours later, the siege ended with Ye's victory. For the fleeing enemy army, Jun Lixuan did not let anyone chase him, but ordered several lieutenants to gather troops and prepare to set up camp.
And he himself rushed back non-stop, wanting to pick up Ling Qiyang himself. He even forgot to thank Gu Yao. But when he arrived in the city where he was stationed before, he couldn't find Ling Qiyang no matter what...
Ling Qiyang... disappeared...
