"I know that you have been in the world for many years and have unparalleled martial arts skills. These swords cannot easily hurt you, so how could I have such a reckless method?"
Suning said leisurely, her voice became smaller and smaller, and her body became weaker and weaker. After saying that, she fell to the ground and fell asleep. After a while, Bei Mingchen also fell down and fell to the ground.
Suning Qing was next to her, and her injured arm was very close.
Su Ningqing originally planned to fight to the death. She thought that her life might end here, so she did not struggle.
If the two of them stay like this, they will go to hell together...
However, they were eventually discovered...
The people in Huanqing Pavilion saw that they had not seen the prince for a long time. They were a little worried, so they broke in. After entering, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.
The things in this room were in pieces, many things were scattered on the ground, and there was a smoky feeling in the room. Both the prince and Miss Xiyan fell to the ground, and Miss Xiyan seemed to have suffered.
He was seriously injured, and the prince also fell in a pool of blood, his face covered with blood stains.
Several people from Huanqing Pavilion immediately opened the windows to ventilate the room. They also found some sterilized strips of cloth and briefly bandaged Miss Xiyan. They also found the clothes that the master of the pavilion left before leaving.
The two of them took their life-saving elixir, and then found two rooms and settled them down respectively.
Su Ningqing was determined to die with "Shuo Jin" this time, so she administered enough medicine to make Bei Mingchen comatose for a full day. Although she had taken the antidote in advance, due to blood loss,
More, so her coma will last longer.
"My lord, you finally woke up."
As soon as Bei Mingchen woke up, Luo Yu said worriedly.
Bei Mingchen didn't speak. He frowned tightly and hit his head hard with his hands from time to time. At this moment, he only felt that he had a splitting headache. The scene of his fight with Suningqing that day seemed real and imaginary.
, emerged in his mind.
"Your Majesty."
"Nothing. By the way, where is that girl?"
After a while, Bei Mingchen felt that his breathing became easier. At this moment, he was most worried about Su Ningqing.
"Oh, yes, it's in the next room, but the woman hasn't woken up yet." Luo Yu explained hurriedly. He couldn't help being curious, and asked again, "Your Majesty, what happened?"
"It's nothing, it's just a personal matter between us." Bei Mingchen said lightly.
When people from Huanqing Pavilion asked, Bei Mingchen explained in an understatement. After all, Miss Xiyan was originally from his Prince Xiao's palace, so it was normal for the two of them to have some disputes.
"Then, what should that girl do?"
"You have worked hard these days. Leave the rest to me."
After saying that, Bei Mingchen cleared away those people and sat silently in the room. Thinking about what happened recently, he walked to the mirror and wiped his cheeks. He felt a little uncomfortable touching that area.
.
That was the spot where he scratched himself, and it was also the spot that was stained with the blood shed by Suning Qing that day.
Bei Mingchen recalled what happened that day. He had already felt completely unconscious, but when he fell into a pool of Su Ningqing's blood, his mind began to clear up.
What's even more amazing is that the scar on his face has almost healed. Normally, such a scar would never heal within ten days and a half.
Moreover, the scar was much shallower than he imagined. Could it be that those rumors were true and the medicine man's blood really had those miraculous effects.
Thinking of this, Bei Mingchen smiled coldly in the mirror. It would be a pity not to make good use of such a beauty.
On the other side, Shuo Jin's situation on the battlefield was not very optimistic. He, who had always been brave and good at fighting, unexpectedly failed. That day, his arm got a big cut by the enemy and he almost fell off his horse.
In fact, the first few battles were pretty good. Shuojin's strategy was very good and they took advantage of the unique terrain here. They used retreat to advance and remained unchanged to cope with changes.
It seemed that they were just holding on to the mountain and the border, but in fact they severely wounded tens of thousands of soldiers of Tianzhao Kingdom, and even killed one of their generals, which severely dampened their spirit.
The Tianzhao Kingdom never expected that when the war broke out again with the Hualing Kingdom, His Highness King Xiao personally led the troops to kill the enemy. The mercenaries were fierce and the tactics were changeable. They were unstoppable. It only took a short time for him to lead the troops to attack the enemy.
They retired nearly 30,000 of their main generals.
Last time when King Xiao led troops to attack Xiliang, their Tianzhao Kingdom's spies were watching the war between the two countries. They also paid attention to King Xiao's tactics, but they didn't expect that his tactics would change after they hadn't seen him for three years.
So much has changed.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Before they could be happy, something happened in the army.
During the day, they were still talking and laughing, thinking about how they would show off their military exploits after returning home after winning the battle, meeting their wives and children, and meeting the people in their villages, and thinking about how His Majesty would reward them.
.
However, after a defeat, the morale of the army was not as good as before, and strange things happened constantly.
Only half a day passed, and the soldiers in the army fell one after another. There were even more soldiers who fell inexplicably than those who were injured.
"Your Majesty, my brothers' bodies really can't bear it anymore." A lieutenant general in the army hurriedly came to report.
"They are all soldiers who have been on the battlefield all year round. How could their bodies become so delicate?"
"No, this is strange to say. My lord, you'd better go and take a look for yourself. The bodies of the soldiers look very strange."
After saying that, Shuojin put down what he was doing and hurriedly ran to the camp where the sick and wounded were staying. They saw that their faces were pale and their lips were purple. It was not because they were weak, they were probably poisoned.
Shuo Jin walked forward without hesitation and snatched the military doctor's medicine bag. He took out a silver needle and inserted it skillfully. The depth was just right. In a moment, the silver needle turned from snow white to black.
Fortunately, these soldiers are well trained and have excellent physical fitness. They were able to survive being poisoned so deeply. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have collapsed long ago.
"Prepare some spirits, hot water, and some clean cloth strips." Shuojin frowned, thought for a moment, and then ordered.
Shuojin looked carefully at the faces of the wounded. He pinched their cheeks, opened their mouths, and looked at their tongues. Then, he opened the wounded soldier's eyelids and looked at them.
Shuojin's movements were very skillful, and the whole process was as smooth as water. After only a moment, he had finished examining the wounded soldier and made a simple judgment.
"Bring me the dagger I carry with me and disinfect it for me."
Everyone present was stunned. When did "Prince" become so powerful? This skilled technique is much better than that of the military doctors in the army. Those who saw it were the old military doctors who had been in the army for decades.
Some were stunned.
"Why are you still standing there? People's lives are at stake, don't you know? Move faster!" Seeing them not moving for a long time, Shuo Jin shouted loudly.
At this time, the people on the side suddenly woke up and began to get busy. They followed Shuojin's request to detoxify the wounded soldiers.
"Seal the military camp. No one is allowed to enter or exit without my permission." Shuo Jin immediately issued the order.
Then, he led his subordinates from Huanqing Pavilion, each with several soldiers, to conduct a comprehensive search of the military camp. As expected, some abnormalities were found.
The source of the problem is precisely this daily indispensable water. It is no wonder that so many soldiers in the army have been poisoned.
"It's my fault."
After hearing this, the last string supporting Shuojin was broken, and his legs slumped and he sat heavily on the chair. He took a few deep breaths, and then his expression became more and more solemn.
, biting his lip tightly with his teeth, and slammed his fist on the table several times.
"How could I forget? How could I forget?" Shuo Jin murmured to himself, his expression looking even more painful.
"Your Majesty, how could this be?" the subordinate asked boldly.
"The terrain here is complex, and most of the streams are winding and winding. The source of rivers and streams cannot be found. Do you know where the source of the water we drink every day is?"
"I don't know, but it should probably be from this mountain." Others guessed based on their own experience.
"No, it's the Tianzhao Kingdom. We usually drink water and get water from the lower reaches, and the Tianzhao Kingdom has a relatively high terrain and sufficient water sources. The upstream of this river is the Tianzhao Kingdom." Shuo Jin said angrily,
There is a feeling of hindsight.
At this moment, Shuojin wanted to understand that Tianzhao Kingdom has always been cunning and cunning. But this time, why did they choose to go far away from the near side? Instead of launching an attack in a place with superior terrain for them, they instead launched an attack in such a hilly area, in such a place that was so difficult for them as the Hualing Kingdom.
It is said that there are still some areas that are easy to defend and difficult to attack to launch an attack.
Now it seems that Tianzhao Kingdom and others must have thought about using this evil technique a long time ago. The source of the water is right next to them. It is easy for them to poison it here.
Shuo Jin only felt regretful because his mistakes had caused countless soldiers to be injured in vain. He also felt that he had no shame in facing Bei Mingchen. At this point, Shuo Jin could not even guarantee that he would go back alive.
"My lord, don't feel guilty. It's already good to have discovered the cause of the problem. If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't know the reason now."
"Yes, Prince, cheer up."
Seeing that the prince was so depressed, General Nie hurriedly encouraged him, and then the other soldiers also echoed.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the morale of the army cannot be weakened. As long as your flag does not fall, there will be nothing the Tianzhao Kingdom can do." General Liu said firmly.
