Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Chu Qing suddenly felt a little regretful, if his body was like a normal person, maybe he would have more choices.
In fact, apart from what he told Qin Wuzhou just now that he was deceiving Lu Xun, after a few days, his body was almost too much to bear, and he could sit here so leisurely, gossip with Qin Wuzhou, it was all a temporary boost to his spirit. played a role.
Chu Qing thought about it, and the answer was the same as before.
"I don't mean that."
Qin Wuzhou's expression didn't change, he just nodded and said to Chu Qing: "I see."
Chu Qing looked at the time, if Qin Wuzhou didn't leave, he was about to reveal his secrets, Chu Qing stood up and said to Qin Wuzhou: "Go back, I know this matter must be Lu Xun's own will, it has nothing to do with you, protect yourself, as soon as possible After returning to the Qin Kingdom, with the throne, all problems will naturally be solved."
"You too, take care of yourself." Qin Wuzhou took a deep look at Chu Qing, then turned his head and left the empty city.
After a while, Qin Guoming retreated his troops, and Qin's army retreated from the city gate like a tide.
Chu Qing realized that the effect of the medicine had expired, he quickly supported the table, cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, his hands were tightly clasped on the edge of the stone table, when he was pouring tea earlier, he only noticed that the person who arranged the table put an extra Pot of tea.
If it is not poured, it will look strange, if it is poured, the tea and medicine will neutralize, he must not drink this tea, fortunately Qin Wuzhou did not notice it.
Commander Wu asked the soldiers to be careful of the traps he had set earlier, while he asked anxiously, "Fourth Prince, are you important?"
"Do you need your subordinates to call the imperial physician for you?"
Chu Qing slowed down, then stood up, and said to Commander Wu: "No need, continue to seal the city gate, and I will leave this place to you."
"Of course." Commander Wu saluted.
When Chu Qing sat on the Luanjia back to the palace, he recalled Qin Wuzhou's expression when negotiating with him. He thought that after the affairs of Chu State, he should go to Qin State to find Qin Wuzhou.
In the Qin army camp, Lu Xun became more and more irritable. He thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that the fourth prince of Chu country would be killed halfway. However, in a few days, the city defense of Chu country had become unbreakable. He regretted it. Then Qin Wuzhou killed the man.
Qin Wuzhou was sitting on the top of a tree at the moment, recalling what he had said to Chu Qing during the day, and looking at the Jianyang City in the distance, thinking that Chu Qing should be very happy today, after all, Chu State repelled the Qin army again, Thinking of this, Qin Wuzhou's mood improved a lot.
-
Chu Qing was sitting in the palace at this moment, and the courtiers of the Chu State gradually began to believe that Chu Qing could lead the Chu State better and better. As this belief took root in people's hearts again, more and more people began to want to Please clear.
"The fourth prince is brave and brave, and defeated Qin twice in a row. How about celebrating with a banquet today?" Someone suggested.
Many people agreed.
Bian Miao frowned, and he said to the crowd: "Qin Jun is still watching outside the city gate, and you all want to drink and celebrate, it's too early, if you have this spare time, why not think about what you have missed. "
Chu Qing propped his head, and said: "What Prime Minister Bian said is very true, everyone should go back to their homes."
After everyone retreated, Bian Miao asked, "Fourth prince, tell the truth, what happened to your body?"
Chu Qing smiled wryly: "To be honest, I don't know either."
"The imperial doctor can't be trusted, and I'm also afraid that after the pulse diagnosis, there is a real problem. When it spreads out, people will be panicked, which will only increase the incident." Chu Qing was helpless. Pharmacological knowledge has always been in the blind spot of his knowledge, "The residual poison in the body has not been cleared. Before he died, the king of Chu told me that the poison was poisoned by the prince, but now that the king of Chu is dead, I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
"And I am not the child of the first king of Chu, but the child of the first prince."
Bian Miao pondered for a long time, and said to Chu Qing, "If that's the case, I'm afraid what the King of Chu said is true."
"The first prince is very masculine. When the old king of Chu, that is, when the father of the first king of Chu was still in power, he killed the man he loved in order to force him to marry." When Bian Miao talked about this secret, he was a little bit embarrassed.
"So that's how it is." Chu Qing resolved her confusion all along.
Bian Miao recalled, and said: "From this point of view, the poison on your body is probably not an ordinary poison. If possible, it is best to get rid of the poison as soon as possible."
"You must still have trauma. What's going on?" Bian Miao always wanted to ask, but couldn't find a suitable opportunity, so she asked together this time.
Chu Qing was silent for a while.
Just as Bian Miao was about to say forget it, she heard Chu Qing say three words softly.
"Qin Wuzhou."
Bian Miao instantly understood, no wonder that when the Qin army defeated the Chu army, there was no movement from the king of Chu. He thought that the king of Chu was dazzled by the affair between Concubine Ni and the guards. Qin Wuzhou blocked the disaster.
Chu Qing was very embarrassed, he thought that even Prime Minister Bian would feel that he loved Qin Wuzhou terribly.
After Prime Minister Bian took his leave, he left the palace. He stood at the gate of the palace, looked back at the bleak palace gate, and let out a long sigh.
Qin's army did not act rashly in the next two days. Chu Qing knew that at this moment, Lu Xun's pressure must be increasing day by day. He took out a pill to improve the spirit from the medicine bottle. As long as he can survive these few days, If the Qin army retreats, Chu will still have a chance.
Although he knew that his body was almost unable to bear such a burden, but it had reached this point, no matter what, Chu Qing did not want to fall short.
When the elixir was taken in, Chu Qing didn't notice that An Liu's eyes were a little different from usual.
-
Lu Xun hadn't slept for two days. He was pacing anxiously in the barracks. Qin's [-] troops gradually became restless. Supervisor Lu Xun.
This can't help but make people doubt whether Lu Xun is suspected of seizing power.
Some of the accompanying generals even began to doubt whether Lu Xun was capable of marching and fighting, and Lu Xun was keenly aware that there were not many people who were inserted by other forces among the accompanying generals, but it was enough to arouse vigilance. , besides his "old acquaintances", who else also participated in this game of chess.
Today is the last day for him to issue a military order in the Qin State. He was originally a civil servant, and the King of Qin did not trust his ability to lead the army. It was he who assured the King of Qin that he would be able to win Jianyang City during this trip, so the King of Qin let go.
A [-] army cost a lot. If he just went back like this, his reputation and status in Qin would definitely plummet.
However, at this moment in the barracks, with two consecutive defeats and a shortage of supplies, from soldiers to generals, all the troops were dispirited and had no fighting spirit. Under such circumstances, Lu Xun could not even launch a third siege, because Fight, I am afraid that some generals will turn against him directly.
Lu Xun is already thinking, since Jianyang City cannot be captured, then it is better to take the next best thing, capture the city at the junction of Qin State and Chu State, and return to Qin State after reorganizing the army. Those in the court are more confident.
"Order," Lu Xun just wanted to inform the messenger to convey the order for him, but this matter is not trivial, if it is not handled properly, it may damage his reputation in the military camp in the future, so he temporarily changed his mind and said to the messenger, "Inform General Zhu, General Wang, Deputy General Guan and other generals for me to discuss matters in the main tent."
Lu Xun added: "Also, invite the Sixth Prince of Qin."
The generals of Qin State on this trip were very dissatisfied with Lu Xun. As a prime minister, he did not stay in the court of Qin State properly and insisted on intervening in the war. He vowed to conquer Chu State in one fell swoop. After losing the battle, he is still putting on airs as a prime minister.
When the generals stood in the main camp tent, they were full of anger. If Lu Xun hadn't been the powerful prime minister in Qin, some generals would have pointed their noses and scolded them.
Lu Xun is well aware of this, but until now, he still firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with his investigation of Chu State. If it is not clear, he has already won Jianyang City, and even swept Chu State.
When Qin Wuzhou stepped into the main tent, the atmosphere became more and more stalemate, no one made a sound, but everyone's faces were ugly, he was like watching a show, anyway, everyone knew that this battle had nothing to do with him.
He's just a commander in chief.
"All officers and soldiers," Lu Xun said with a wry smile, "Let me first apologize to everyone."
Qin Wuzhou did not expect that Lu Xun, who was arrogant in his previous life and still defiant in this life, actually apologized to the generals.
Lu Xun stood on the main seat and bowed to everyone.
The generals were also quite surprised by Lu Xun's behavior, which seemed to be inconsistent with the rumored character of Lu Xun.
In the main tent, some generals greatly changed their opinion of Lu Xun, while some felt disdainful, thinking that he has no commanding ability.
After the ceremony, Lu Xun continued to explain: "The state of Chu is indeed exhausted as I said in the court earlier. I can guarantee this with my life. Countless soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives for Great Qin came to build Yangcheng, as well as many cities in Chu State, search for information."
"Some of them were found to have lost their lives, and some were tortured inhumanely." Lu Xun's tone was quite provocative. "The news they sent back told us that Qin State has the ability to annex Chu State."
"You are generals, you must know how to siege a city, attacking the heart is the most important thing. If the former prince of Chu Kingdom succeeds to the throne, Jianyang City is already in our pocket."
After looking around, Lu Xun continued, "The key to this battle lies in the fourth prince of Chu, Chu Qing."
"As a guest, I admire him very much. He is an enemy worthy of respect," Lu Xun smiled, and continued, "But as a member of Qin State, I hope he dies more, and don't prevent Qin State from unifying the world. great cause."
As far as Lu Xun said, the military officers in the main tent have increased their affection for Lu Xun to varying degrees. Although Lu Xun is sometimes gambler and has a bad temper, he is wholeheartedly thinking about Qin. , won the respect of the generals.
"I want to ask you a question, do you have soldiers with abnormal abilities in your hands? As long as you assassinate Chu Qing, Jianyang City will be destroyed without attack."
After Lu Xun finished speaking, he stopped and looked at the generals.
Qin Wuzhou looked at Lu Xun with a sneer. Although he knew that Lu Xun's words were a step down for him to change his strategic goals, his hatred for Lu Xun still increased a lot.
The generals looked at each other in blank dismay. They had no chance to train assassins at all, not to mention, even if they had, they would not be exposed here.
"Since there is no way to kill Chu Qing, we have no choice but to take Jianyang City for the time being." Lu Xun then pointed to the Huijiang City Road at the junction of Qin State and Chu State on the map, "We can't take Jianyang City, if we can All the officers and soldiers also contributed a lot to taking this place down."
The generals became excited, and no one on the march could resist the temptation of military industry.
The atmosphere in the camp became lively, Lu Xun was chatting and laughing with the generals, Qin Wuzhou stood aside, looking tired, Lu Xun was still the same as his previous life, greedy, selfish, good at bewitching others.
-
After Chu Qing took the elixir to boost his spirits, he was still calculating that General Jin would be able to rush back from the border in two to three days, and his pressure would definitely be much less by then.
It’s just that he didn’t know why he was thinking about it, but his head became dizzy. Chu Qing looked at the palace around him, and it seemed that the palace was spinning. The palace was cleaned up by him and Prime Minister Bian, and all the people with unclean identities were expelled from the palace by them. Who is it...
Chu Qing stood up. He leaned on the chair beside him, squeezed his palms hard, and shouted at the same time: "An Liu, quickly summon Prime Minister Bian into the palace."
"Yes." An Liu was about to take orders to leave.
"Wait a minute," Chu Qing couldn't stand anymore, he slowly fell to the ground, and said to An Liu in disbelief, "You changed my medicine."
