"How about the military doctor? What happened to the emperor's body?"
"Empress, the Emperor...it's hard to say. Some situations are not fully understood yet. We have to wait until the Emperor wakes up and asks questions before we can confirm the diagnosis."
The military doctor ordered the officers and soldiers to feed Nangong Ming some rice soup, then took out the acupuncture box and inserted an acupuncture needle into Nangong Ming's Zhonghe and Taigu acupoints.
Nangong Ming quickly opened his eyes, struggled to sit up, and said, "I, what happened just now?"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to panic. In fact..." the military doctor hesitated to speak.
Nangong Ming said: "You guys go out first."
After everyone came out of the tent, Nangong Ming asked calmly: "Military doctor, tell the truth, what disease do I have?"
The military doctor said: "Your Majesty, Shi Caichen used silver needles to examine the emperor's two important acupuncture points and the tongue coating. No abnormalities were found, but the emperor's pulse was abnormal and there were signs of heart failure."
"What did you say?" No matter how much Nangong Ming doesn't understand medical science, he also knows how serious the consequences of heart failure are.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter is of great importance. Please return to the palace quickly and summon the imperial doctors to take countermeasures. I am not good at medical skills and I am afraid that the Emperor's dragon body will be delayed."
"It's impossible. How could this happen? My body has always been described as an invincible body. Why are there signs of heart failure?"
"Poisoned..."
"Poisoned? Didn't you say that you didn't find anything abnormal when you checked with a silver needle?"
"Your Majesty, some poisons are not introduced through the mouth. For example, the extremely poisonous green Black Kiln Flower Wine invades through the roots of children and grandchildren. Black Kiln Flower Poison is extremely difficult to detect and has the function of enhancing excitement. I have heard of it before.
In order to take revenge on someone who had betrayed her heart, a prostitute once used this poison to kill people invisible. This poison is Yin and is harmless to the female body, but it is harmful to the male body..."
"Could it be her!" Nangong Ming's face finally began to show fear. A man who was not afraid of anything, felt panic for the first time.
"emperor……"
Nangong Ming waved his hand and said: "That's enough, this matter is not allowed to be spread to outsiders, otherwise, the nine tribes will be punished!"
The military doctor was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty..."
Duoduo and a group of people waited outside the tent for a short while when they saw Nangong Ming walking out with a loud laugh and said: "It turns out to be a syndrome of deficiency and cold. The military doctor told me to take more rest and not move too much. No wonder I just
Fainted."
The Prince of Persia said: "Your Majesty, if that's the case, let's go back. Let's talk about the hunting another day."
"Well, since we are all here, how can we come in vain? Jie'er."
"Here, father."
"I will go back to the palace first, and you can have fun with the Prince of Persia on my behalf."
"It's Father."
Duoduo said: "Your Majesty, my concubine, please go back with you."
"No, Queen, it's rare that everyone is so happy today, so just stay with them. I feel more at ease with you here."
"Well, Your Majesty, please be careful."
"Well, hahahaha..." Nangong Ming walked over in two steps, jumped on the horse, and clamped his legs: "Drive..."
A group of soldiers followed the horse's ass and chased after them... After having lunch in the camp, Zilan's foot was injured and stayed in the camp to rest. There were only three people, Duoduo, Nangong Jie, and Persian Cat, with strong bows and long swords.
We walked towards the place where ferocious beasts often hang out.
The Persian cat said: "If he hadn't encountered those damn weathercocks this time, the emperor probably wouldn't have been in such a situation. To be honest, we don't understand much about hunting. At best, we can only say that we are hunting.
, far from the realm of hunting.”
Nangong Jie said with a smile: "What's the difference? I don't think that as long as we can hunt a tiger or a leopard later and come back to drink for the soldiers, the soldiers will be happier than anything else."
Duoduo, on the other hand, had a pensive look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
"I said Duo Duo is pretty. If you two can't become husband and wife, are you going to stop talking to each other for the rest of your life?"
After hearing this, Duoduo and Nangong Jie remained silent. In fact, she and he both understood that everyone was preparing for the future, but somehow, since one became the mother of the country, they felt that there was an extra barrier between them, even in their hearts.
I have something to say, but I don’t want to tell the other person.
Seeing the strange look on the Persian cat's face, Duoduo could only laugh and said: "It's not that we are silent, but we are thinking about whether a tiger or something will jump out later, so we should throw you out first as bait."
"Wow... You can also say this, Duoduo Liang. Although you were once our master, now I am your eldest brother. Do you respect your elders so much?"
"It's said in the book that you can't have both a fish and an older brother. For the sake of the fish, you have to give up your older brother."
"Wrong, wrong, it's fish and bear's paw..."
As the two of them were walking along the tree-lined path, they suddenly heard someone say: "See you, the prince, see the queen!"
When the three of them saw it, it turned out to be a group of soldiers. Although they bowed and saluted, their way was blocked by the formation.
"Without courtesy, by the way, we want to go hunting in the mountains. I wonder if you generals have any suggestions?"
"Mother, this road is blocked."
"What? This road is blocked? What do you mean? The road behind you is so wide, why can't it be blocked?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The small door is for your safety. This is the entrance to the Qing River Valley, which is a dangerous area. Your Majesty ordered us to guard this place to prevent the evil people in the valley from coming out to harm the people. So
Say, my dear, you should go hunting in other mountains."
"Qinghe River Valley?" Nangong Jie muttered for a moment. Suddenly, with a howl, a huge wild boar rushed down from the mountain. It was probably chased by other beasts and was frightened, so he didn't see it at all.
There were people at the bottom of the mountain, and after they reached the crossroads, they actually rushed towards where Duoduo was standing.
"There is prey!" The Persian cat and Duoduo immediately drew their bows and were about to shoot!
"Don't move, catch them alive!" Nangong Jie suddenly shouted and took away the bows from both of them.
"What? Caught alive?"
Seeing the big wild boar, which was like a calf, rushing over with its two sharp tusks, everyone thought that Nangong Jie was crazy. If we were to say that the wild boar was the king of the mountain, that wild boar was not the most domineering.
Yes, but once it goes all out, the tiger will be afraid of three points.
Wild boar skin is famously thick. When I have nothing to do, when I am bitten by a mosquito, I roll myself in the mud, and then rub it against the roots of a big tree. The pair of fangs are all in the sand and gravel.
A real guy who has been trained in the field, coupled with that strength, rushing over like this, the lethality is like a small bulldozer, who can resist it?
Isn’t this too long-lived?
In these few stupid seconds, the wild boar had already rushed forward!
"Flash!" Duoduo pushed Nangong Jie away, and the group of soldiers behind him also fled.
Nangong Jie chased after him and said, "Don't run away..."
"Hey, come back!" Duoduo saw Nangong Jie rushing in, and he followed suit and rushed into the Qing River Valley.
The soldiers were so anxious that they shouted: "Queen, Your Majesty, stop quickly, you can't get in, you can't get in!"
Unfortunately, the speed of the two men was simply too fast. The soldiers chased them for a while, and when they saw that they were about to reach the camp in the Qing River Valley, they had to go back the same way, and anxiously sent people to rush back to the capital to ask for instructions from the emperor.
A queen or a prince, no matter which one had a problem, they couldn't bear it... Duoduo was naturally faster than Nangong Jie, and soon caught up with him, grabbed his shoulders, and forced him to stop.
Come down.
"Idiot, don't run away. Even if you want to go into the mountains under the pretext of hunting wild boars, you don't have to talk about catching them alive. How many people in the world can catch such a big wild boar alive? Do you think you are a god?
"
"Stop talking, let's go in quickly."
"Wait a minute, you haven't explained to me clearly why you have to enter this Qinghe River Valley?"
"Because we will probably need the people here. The Great Southern Dynasty Sword Making Sect, which was famous all over the world many years ago, has eight hundred dead men. Not only are they excellent at making swords, many of them are also masters in using swords. They are called
We have been imprisoned here for many years. If we have their help, we will be even more powerful when we attack."
"Oh? Is there such a thing? It shouldn't be too late. Let's go in immediately. It would be better if we can convince them as early as possible. Just now I saw that the emperor seemed to be seriously ill. I just wanted to test him, so I said
I went back to the capital with him, but he, who has always been opposed to me being with you, actually didn't agree to my following him back to the city. There must be something hidden in it. If something really wrong with him happened, even if we didn't do anything, Nangong Ao
They will also take action against us immediately."
The two of them were talking as they strode towards the depths of the Qing River Valley.
"Swish, swish, swish..." Three sounds broke through the air, and three long arrows had been shot into the soil in front of them. Several men dressed as swordsmen had arrived in front of them at some point, and they were about to shoot Duoduo.
and Nangong Jie surrounded him.
Duoduo and Nangong Jie were escorted into the cottage camp. What they suddenly saw were rows of neatly arranged sword slots, filled with many exquisitely crafted long swords, daggers, and throwing knives.
The famous sword-making gate.
After walking into the living room, several older men were already waiting. It was obvious that these disciples in the Qing River Valley had been alerted before entering the valley.
"Sect Master, these two people claim to be the Queen and the Fifth Prince, and they asked to see the Sect Master if they have something to do."
"Seeking an audience? The Emperor's troops are guarding the outside. How did they get in?"
"Master, they ran in after a wild boar. I heard the soldiers calling them, "Mother, Your Majesty."
The old man, who was dressed simply but with a bit of domineering look, stared at the two of them for a while and said, "What are you doing by pretending to be the queen and the prince?"
Nangong Jie took out a letter from his arms and said: "Master, this king is not a fake. This is a letter from the Prime Minister to the master. The master will know the authenticity of this king at a glance."
Someone said: "Master, how can you trust a letter?"
"Oh, shut up. You don't know. We will never be able to repay the great kindness that the Prime Minister has shown to our sword-making sect in this lifetime. I will naturally recognize his handwriting."
The master of the Sword Casting Sect carefully read the letter, put it away in his sleeve pocket, and said with cupped hands: "I wonder, my dear, what are the instructions for the prince's arrival this time."
Duoduo didn't know anything about the letter. Now seeing Nangong Jie calm and calm, with a confident attitude, she knew that this man was really working hard. Ever since she saw him posing in the back garden of Prince Jie's Mansion,
From the chess game, I knew that he was not a mediocre person, and now it is proved that he was indeed right.
Nangong Jie said: "We are here to rescue you."
"Rescue?" The master of the Sword-making Sect said with a confused look on his face: "Why did the prince say this?"
"Sect Master, since I have risked my life to come in and tell you, I will naturally not lie to you. I want to remind you that it is time to prepare well and fight out of the Qinghe River Valley."
"Fight out of the Qinghe River Valley? Why?"
"No reason, just to survive!"
"In order to survive?" the sect leader said with a dumb smile: "Your Majesty is serious. If your Majesty wants our Sword Making Sect to follow you and rebel, then just say so. Why do you need to talk about things in such a high-sounding way? I think so.
You want to use my people, but you say it's a rescue?"
"Master, you have no sense of crisis. As the saying goes, if you don't have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. If you don't realize it, the days will come to an end soon, and the emperor will soon let the army conquer the Qing River Valley.
Therefore, your only way to survive is to leave the customs in advance and help this king, otherwise no matter how powerful the eight hundred dead soldiers of your Sword Making Sect are, they will not be able to withstand the destruction of the heavy troops of the Southern Dynasty."
The master of the Sword Making Sect was a little unhappy and said: "Your Majesty, these words may be a bit alarmist, right? Although you have a noble status and are good friends with the Prime Minister, what the Prince said is wrong. Although the Emperor forced us into the Sword Making Sect.
He has entered the Qinghe River Valley, but we know that he will never kill our sword-making sect completely. If he wants to take action, he would do it as early as that year, so why bother to stay today?"
Another person also said: "That's right, why bother to keep it until today? Besides, it was also our sword-making sect's negligence back then, which caused part of the sword-making secrets to be leaked to other countries. The emperor was so angry that he locked us up. It was natural. And
Over the years, the emperor has been sending people to send food and meat, and also sent iron ore to us to improve our sword-making skills. Do you think the emperor wants to kill us, is it possible?"
"Why is it impossible? The high bird is gone, but the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooked!"
"Hahahaha..." The master of the Sword Forging Sect laughed and said: "Do you think the emperor's vision is so short-sighted, just because we have forged so many good swords, and then thinks that we are useless, so he wants to kill us?
You are wrong, what the emperor really wants to keep is the magical sword-making skill of my sword-making sect."
"What you said is so right!" Nangong Jie couldn't help but applauded: "It's rare for the sect master to be so smart, so I'm not afraid to tell you. In fact, the sword-making secret book of the Sword-making Sect has already arrived.
It’s in the Emperor’s hands, but you still think you can live a stable life here.”
The sect leader was shocked: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that there is a traitor in our Sword Making Sect? Humph, that's impossible. We now have a total of more than 900 people in the Sword Making Sect. They are all good brothers who share blessings and share hardships. Why?
Will there be a traitor?"
"You are wrong. The emperor has planted insiders among you a long time ago. Now your sword-making level is top-notch and has far surpassed other countries. You said that after the emperor gets the secret book, he will rest assured to let you in this valley.
Are you going to stay for a long time? Isn’t he afraid that secret soldiers from other countries will come and kidnap you? Who is the best at keeping secrets? He’s a dead man!”
"Traitor? Humph, that's impossible!" The master of the Sword-Forging Sect waved his hand and said, "My lord, don't waste your time trying to sow discord. What are you thinking about? You said there is a traitor, then, can you point out who it is?
It's a traitor, what's the evidence?"
Duoduo couldn't help but secretly worry, if Nangong Jie couldn't point out who was the traitor, then it might be a problem for him to leave the village.
"Master..." Nangong Jie put his mouth close to the ear of the master of the Sword-making Sect and whispered a few words.
"What?" The door owner suddenly turned around, pointed at his most trusted person and said, "Come here, tie him up!"
"Sect Master?" The younger middleman was stunned: "Sect Master, do you doubt me?"
"Hmph!" The master of the Sword-making Sect said with an angry face: "You are a creepy guy, I have always treated you badly, how dare you choose to be a dog! If someone comes, lock him up first, and the execution will be carried out at noon tomorrow
Family law!"
"Sect Master, you are wronged, Sect Master..."
Seeing the man being escorted away, the sect master said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I have offended you just now, please don't take offense."
Nangong Jie said: "Master, you are the one who betrayed me. I regard the master as my own family this time, so I risked my life to tell you. Although the traitor has been eliminated now, it cannot change the dangerous situation now."
, I think the sect master should consider cooperating with me?"
"This...don't worry, Your Majesty, I will consider it carefully."
"Okay, if that's the case, I'll take my leave first."
"Your Majesty, please!" The owner personally escorted the two of them to the entrance of the village before leading them back.
Duoduo thinks Bingxue is smart, but she still can't figure out what kind of trick Nangong Jie is playing.
"Hey, how do you know that person is a traitor? Did the prime minister tell you? Or did you find out something?"
Nangong Jie said: "The traitor? I don't know who it is, so I have to wait for him to show up."
Only then did Duoduo suddenly come to his senses, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, you idiot, you finally figured it out."
Nangong Jie just smiled lightly and said: "Isn't this all forced by you? Actually, I don't know if there is a traitor, but I just think there should be. According to the temperament of my father, if he doesn't have other intentions, he will never do it.
Let the people of the Sword Making Sect live so comfortably in this Qinghe River Valley."
"Well, I think so, idiot. You did the right thing. Let's find a more secluded place to secretly guard this exit. The traitor thought that someone was taking the blame for him, so he was safe, so he will definitely find a way to notify
As soon as the emperor or the soldiers outside appear, we will take him immediately!"
The scorching sun scorched the entire valley to death, but luckily the shade of the trees where Duoduo and Nangong Jie were hiding blocked the sun, so it was still cool.
Two hours passed quickly. Duoduo began to feel sleepy, so he tilted his head and rested on Nangong Jie's shoulder. In this position, Duoduo's chest was facing Nangong Jie, and his loose collar
The general pinkness and plumpness are revealed.
Nangong Jie couldn't help but swallowed, but immediately stared at the door of the cottage, hoping to find the person they wanted to wait for.
Duoduo hadn't slept well for several days, so he was naturally very sleepy, and his head accidentally slipped from Nangong Jie's shoulder and rested on his lap.
Why is there something pushing against her head... Duoduo chuckled and said nothing. This fool is really trying to change. If he had been excited before, he would have knocked her to the ground, but now he can act as if nothing had happened.
Bear with it, it is indeed a big breakthrough.
"Hey, idiot, let me ask you, why did you get up all of a sudden? I didn't tease you, what on earth were you thinking?"
Nangong Jie rolled his eyes at her: "Queen, please respect yourself."
Duoduo chuckled, and suddenly put her head down hard on the pillow. Nangong Jie quickly put his butt back: "You are crazy. Do you want to stay a widow for the rest of your life?"
