Chu Yuan stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the man had his eyes closed, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. The nose is blue and the face is swollen, I am afraid that my father may not be able to recognize it.
"It's Naxi Thorn," the dark guard explained.
As soon as this statement came out, the rest of the people took a deep breath and gathered around to look carefully again: "Why did the Naxi thorn fall into the hands of the Chasing Shadow Palace?"
"Chu Xiang wanted to kill him and was rescued by the palace lord." An Wei said, "I think there should be some uses, so we ordered us to wait for the emperor here."
"Chu Xiang wants to kill Naxi Thorn?" Chu Yuan was quite surprised by this. "According to his character, even if he is only a puppet, he should always keep it."
"It's a long story." The dark guard growled, "Can we borrow a fire first, and let's roast a few pheasants to eat."
Ye Jin: "..."
Chu Yuan smiled and said, "There are some snacks and roast chicken left in the tent."
"That's not necessary." The dark guard dragged the pheasant out of the rucksack and squatted on the ground to pluck its hair. "My son told us not to take advantage of the Chu army, even if it is a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge."
When some soldiers at the scene heard it, they immediately admired the Chasing Shadow Palace - it didn't seem to be as magical as the rumors, but it was quite principled. What kind of bullying was charging protection fees everywhere, I was afraid that it would be slanderous rumors from other sects.
The meat smelled deliciously on the fire, and it was delicious simply sprinkled with salt. It looked very tempting. Even Chu Yuan took a chicken leg from them and ate it slowly while tearing it with his hands. What has happened in the White Elephant Kingdom these days.
According to the Dark Guard, when Nawa first left, the White Elephant Kingdom was indeed in charge of Naxi Thorn, no matter whether it was the people or officials, there was no objection to this. It's just that within a month, Chu Xiang's people have already started to enter and leave the palace freely. In recent years, Chu Xiang has been moving frequently in Nanyang, and it is naturally impossible for the White Elephant Kingdom to be unaware. Before that, almost all officials were looking forward to cooperating with Da Chu, but they never thought of getting involved with the rebels. Therefore, a group of ministers went to ask for orders the next day, so that Naxi Thorn could remain neutral and cut to the chase. Do not be used by villains.
"Then what?" Chu Yuan asked, "He agreed?"
The dark guard said: "No. Naxi Thorn seems to be determined to cooperate with Chu Xiang, so not only did not listen to the persuasion, but also drove out all the ministers who went to advise him."
"As soon as I heard it, I knew it was an idiot. No wonder it was deceived by Chu Xiang." Ye Jin shook his head, "Even if it's just to win over people's hearts, it's better to act like a man. There's no way to directly drive him away."
"What the lord of the valley said is very true." An Wei said, "Naxi Thorn acted arbitrarily, and the courtiers refused to accept him, and it didn't take long for the court to become chaotic. Half of the ministers said they were sick at home, and they ignored Naxi Thorn when they didn't go to court, and just waited wholeheartedly. Go back with Nava."
Rumors quickly spread to the people, and people with ulterior motives were eager to move. Seeing that a turmoil was about to start, Nava suddenly went back.
Chu Yuan frowned slightly.
"Chu Xiang found someone to disguise himself and pretended to be Nava." The dark guard said, "And that night, Naxi Thorn was poisoned, and after his death, he was wrapped around a boulder and thrown into the sea. Fortunately, the palace lord has always ordered us to spy on it. Only with the movement in the palace, can the poison be replaced by a fake death drug, and he can be caught on the boat in time."
"It's really helpful to the Qin Palace Master this time." Chu Yuan said, "If he can come back victorious in the future, I will...will pay you with ten thousand gold." He originally wanted to say that he would go to the Chasing Shadow Palace to thank him in person, but his words were just too much. The side swallowed again. Over the years, the relationship between the imperial court and the Shadow Chasing Palace has always been delicate. If you go there rashly, I am afraid that it will not be pleasing.
"It's a simple change of person, and it's just that the ministers in the DPRK and the central government didn't notice it, not even the queen mother and the queen's concubines?" Ye Jin frowned.
"Chu Xiang can be clever this time." The dark guard said, "He lied that Nawa was stabbed on the way and hurt his brain, and he couldn't remember things completely, and his character was good and bad. It was used to cover up all the flaws. At least when we left, There is no major abnormality in the White Elephant Kingdom."
"What about the whereabouts of Jin Shu and Kun Da? Besides, he killed Naxi Thorn, how should he explain it?" Chu Yuan asked.
"He sent someone to send a letter to Kunda's house in the far country of Siam, but I don't know what the content is, but I haven't heard of anything unusual at that end." The dark guard said, "As for Naxi thorns, Chu Xiang just started with a letter. I don't want to kill him, but unfortunately this person is really arrogant and irritable, and he is seeking death by himself. After Chu Xiang threw him into the seabed, he said that he had already sent him to the dark room to think about it, and temporarily hid it."
"What should I do now?" Ye Jin asked.
"When we dispatched troops to besiege Liushang Jiange, Chu Xiang must now know that the real Nava is in our hands." Chu Yuan said, "It is really the best strategy to find a fake to replace it, because as long as we reach the White Elephant Kingdom, all illusions will be lost. It will be self-defeating.”
"Then why did he make this move?" Ye Jin asked again.
"He's not stupid. Since he did this, he probably has an idea to completely take over the White Elephant Kingdom before us." Chu Xiang said, "In other words, it is to turn Nava into a dispensable, true and false character. Even let the people start to hate him, understand?"
Ye Jin frowned slightly.
"The young heroes who just chased the Shadow Palace said that now everyone in the White Elephant Kingdom knows that Nawa's brain was stabbed. Since the brain has been hurt, when it's really crazy, who else will take his words seriously?" Chu Yuan Said, "This is a good calculus. Now use Nava to stabilize the situation, and then turn him into a lunatic before us. Even if the real Nava tells the truth, how many people will believe it? Even if I guessed right, there will be stories spread in the White Elephant Kingdom in the past few days, starting from when Nawa was kidnapped in the north, and ended when he was rescued by me and went south. In the palace, the people will naturally not believe it, and will only listen to it as a story. The first time it is rare, the second time is also good, the third time, four times, a dozen times, who would be interested in repeating it again?”
Ye Jin said, "What about Kun Da and Jin Shu?"
"According to Xiaoxiaoer's confession, after Jin Shu escaped, in order to avoid trouble, he wrote a letter to Chu Xiang, saying that he accidentally killed her." Chu Yuan said, "As for Kunda, I don't know. How does Chu Xiang plan to deal with it?"
"Let's send someone to the remote country of Siam to investigate." Ye Jin said, and then picked up the Naxi Thorn next to him, "Do you want to wake this person first?"
Chu Yuan nodded, and the messenger brought Nava over.
"This..." Seeing the unconscious Naxi Thorn, Nawa turned pale in shock.
"The king doesn't need to worry, he's still alive." The dark guard immediately comforted and told the general story of the matter again.
Nawa's eyes darkened when he heard the words. If the White Elephant Kingdom is still in power with Naxi Thorn, then at least his mother is safe. If it is Chu Xiang, then everything will be difficult to say.
Chu Yuan called a few shadow guards and ordered them to leave first and go to the White Elephant Country in secret. One is to spy on intelligence, and the other is to protect female relatives.
Ye Jin rolled up his sleeves and stabbed Naxi with a silver needle to wake up.
Everyone looked around, and even had to squeeze in.
Naxi Thorn: "..."
Nava's anger started from his heart, and his head was a foot.
Duan Yao immediately felt that her brother was better.
Naxi Thorn fainted again.
Ye Jin had to poke it again and motioned to Duan Yao to block Nava.
Naxi Thorn opened his eyes again.
There was still a circle of curious eyes.
Naxi Thorn was at a loss, looked at each one one by one, and finally made eye contact with Nawa.
…
Ye Jin reminded in time: "After asking, I will beat you."
Nava's chest rose and fell violently, his eyes almost bursting with fire, and he roared with Wan Jun: "What the hell is going on!"
Naxi Thorn shook his body and almost fell into a coma. Everything was the same as what everyone had guessed before. Chu Xiang sent people to the mansion to win over Naxi Thorn, and promised a lot of money with the six cities and seventeen towns of the five prefectures of Great Chu, and the people were so excited that they said one thing. After hearing that Nava was kidnapped, he couldn't wait to become emperor, but he was quickly disliked by Chu Xiang because he was too stupid. He didn't know what he was doing wrong until he was drunk.
Ye Jin looked at him with sympathy. With this brain, he still wanted five states and six cities.
Chu Yuan called the guards, took Naxi Thorn down temporarily, and sent people to help Nawa go back to rest first.
"The matter is done, we should also go after the palace master and the son." An Wei said, "Farewell."
"Thank you all for this time." Chu Yuan nodded.
The dark guard held out his hand.
Ye Jin: "..."
"Chirp!" Little Phoenix squatted in his palm, spreading his short wings with great interest.
Ye Jin: "..."
Dark Guard: "..."
"Gu master." Anwei said with tears streaming down his face, "This is the young palace master of my family." If we can return it, we can compensate you for ten chickens, or even an old hen.
Ye Jin turned around a thousand times, full of reluctance.
"啾!" Mao Qiu looked around, there was nothing soft to rub against, and he was a little disappointed.
"Good." Shen Qianfeng took the little phoenix from him and handed it to the dark guard.
Ye Jin clenched his fist fiercely, reminding himself not to rob.
The dark guard quickly got on his horse and ran fast.
Ye Jin: "..."
The rest spread out wisely, leaving people to Shen Qianfeng, for fear of being innocently implicated, we didn't want to do it.
Only the old man Mu Chi asked incomprehensibly, "Why are all the birds and beasts scattered all of a sudden?"
Duan Yao squeezed into the carriage and said in a low voice, "Because I was afraid Ye Guzhu would be angry."
"If you're angry, you should persuade them, but why are you hiding?" the old man Mu Chi continued to ask.
Duan Yao thought about the words and said, "When Lord Ye Gu is angry, he is a little fierce. The next time senior encounters him, he should stay away."
"Looking at the beautiful eyes, how fierce can it be." The old man Mu Chi didn't believe it, "Besides, when I was hiding in Tibet on the rivers and lakes, I often heard people in the martial arts talking, saying that the master of Yegu is kind and virtuous. Shu De, your temperament is also first-class and gentle. In addition to hanging the pot to help the world, he is cooking for the leader of the Shen alliance, washing the soles of the shoes... Hey, what's the sound outside?"
Duan Yao laughed dryly: "No sound, senior continued."
Either demolishing the forest or demolishing the leader of the alliance is not worth seeing.
Shen Qianfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and forcibly carried the person back to the carriage, Ye Jin's chin rested on his shoulder, still very reluctant, so she lowered her head and bit her angrily.
Chu Yuan was sitting by the fire, watching the two of them fight, a smile appeared in his eyes, but he felt a bit of longing and reluctance in his heart.
There is still a month before he can reach the Southwest Territory. Usually, according to the person's temperament, he should have come over long ago. However, this battle is at stake, and the Southwest House has a lot of things to do. I can't wait to use one day as two days, I'm afraid I won't have time to think about other things.
