Chapter 35 Meeting ally Shi Hong for the first time
He Mucheng looked at his pale face with interest, raised the corners of his lips, "You want to save it?"
The young man nodded in fear, turned and left.
"It was seriously injured. It looks like the flesh pad was cut by metal. If the inflammation is not treated in time, it may become infected." He Mucheng looked at his frail back and finally couldn't help but speak.
The young man paused and stopped.
After a long while, he turned his head and said in a low voice, "It's not safe here. Come with me."
He Mucheng stepped up to follow, and soon the two of them arrived at a remote courtyard.
The young man held the civet cat in one hand and pushed open the courtyard door with the other. He Mucheng followed him in and saw countless cats and dogs.
They were wagging their tails happily towards the boy, seeming to be very close to him.
The two of them came into the room, and the boy lit the candle on the corner of the table, then called the cat and dog into the room, and then closed the door.
After doing this, the top of his head was already white. He shook off the snowflakes on his body, and some of them had turned into water droplets, clinging playfully to the broken hair on his forehead, which added a bit of fun.
"I remember you, you are Ji Yunyuan's disciple." The young man's voice was very soft and soft.
He Mucheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Who are you?"
The young man grinned and said, "My name is Shi Hong."
Shi Hong? He Mucheng was thinking about the relationship between the characters in the book. Shi Hong was Shi Le's son and later inherited Shi Le's mantle. Unfortunately, he only reigned for one year and was eventually killed by Shi Hu.
The book says that Shi Hong had a gentle and courteous temperament, but was too timid and cowardly, which was completely opposite to Shi Le's bravery and domineering attitude.
Thinking of this, He Mucheng's guarded mind finally calmed down. She bowed her hands and said politely, "It turns out it's the prince, and it was Mu Sheng who was rude."
"I don't have so many false etiquette here," he waved his hand indifferently and asked, "You just said that there is a way to cure it?"
He Mucheng looked at the already sick civet cat, pretended to put his hand into his cloak, and quietly exchanged some hydrogen peroxide and anti-inflammatory drugs in the system.
She treated the civet cat's wound under Shi Hong's surprised gaze, then took out the pet's tablets and handed them to Shi Hong, carefully explaining how to take them.
Seeing the civet cat sleeping soundly in his arms with its head drooped, Shi Hong finally showed his face.
"It turns out you are different from them." Shi Hong's voice was soft.
"Who?" He Mucheng took advantage of the situation and sat down opposite him.
"Everyone." Shi Hong held the civet cat's fur with his slender fingers and said to himself, "My uncle Shi Hu, my brother Shi Sui, my father... They have murderous eyes and evil aura. Even General Ji,
He is also unsmiling."
Seeing the tiredness on his face, He Mucheng comforted him softly, "It's just the jungle of the jungle. Without them, how would you be safe?"
She pointed at a group of small animals clinging to him and smiled brightly.
"Mu Sheng, do you know? People's hearts are really greedy sometimes. Back then, the descendants of the Sima family caused the Jin Dynasty to fall apart for power. Now, my Shi family is afraid that I will follow in their footsteps." At this point, he said
His face turned a little pale.
He Musheng listened to him calling him Mu Sheng softly, and then told her what he was thinking in his heart, as if he was treating an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Why did the prince say this?" He Mucheng guided his confession. She knew that Shi Hong was close to Confucian scholars and read books from sages. Compared to his father Shi Le, who was illiterate, his emotions were much more delicate.
"Tonight, General Ji came to my father and said that my cousin Shi Sui had placed his retainer, you, Mu Sheng, under house arrest." He raised his eyes and smiled warmly, "I didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but I have something for you.
I feel so inexplicably kind, and after thinking about it, I decided to help you."
"Help me?" He Mucheng frowned slightly.
"Yes, help you," Shi Hong nodded, "If you don't come here with me, if you go five hundred meters further, you can collide with Shi Sui."
He Mucheng was startled and worried. She really should have listened to Ji Yunyuan and stayed in his room. But she was also afraid that the messenger would not be able to leave Xiangguo and she would not get any news about Wang Xuan.
Fortunately, there was no danger!
However, although the Shi Hong in front of him was frail, his thoughts were meticulous, and his mind was not confused at all!
He Mucheng felt more appreciation in his heart, and saluted Shi Hong seriously, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me!"
Shi Hong nodded, "You're welcome."
After a long while, Shi Hong continued to speak, "General Ji is the adopted grandson of my uncle Shi Hu. I originally thought that you were all the same, and I didn't want to have much contact with you, but today's incident made me change my mind."
He Mucheng was secretly happy. Fortunately, you changed your mind, otherwise your plan would have to be overturned again!
Seeing her winking playfully, Shi Hong couldn't help but grin, showing a row of neat and beautiful teeth.
"My uncle Shi Hu is very ambitious, but my father only wants him to assist me, but I am the only one who knows in my heart that what he really covets is the throne of the Zhao Kingdom," Shi Hong said straightforwardly, "I think that
He doesn’t have the ability to control generals, nor his character, so he can’t be the king of Zhao, but my uncle is even less qualified than me.”
At this point, Shi Hong suddenly raised his head, "So, Mu Sheng, I hope you and General Ji will work with me to deal with my uncle Shi Hu. As long as he is not allowed to harm the people of Zhao State, it doesn't matter whether I am the king or not."
."
Huh? This is asking Ji Yunyuan to kill Shi Hu? This conflicts with the main mission. If Shi Hu does not succeed to the throne, how can he be cruel and cause public outrage? How can Ji Yunyuan have an excuse to overthrow his tyranny?
Thinking of this, she coughed lightly and said, "It can't be done now. Now Zhao State only has Xiang State, and it needs to expand its territory, and all of this cannot be done without Shi Hu."
Shi Hong smiled in relief, "Mu Sheng said this, I feel relieved."
Huh? Don't worry? What's the logic of this? You clearly rejected him?
As if seeing her confusion, Shi Hong explained, "If you really agree, I will suspect you of ulterior motives. I know that Zhao Guo can't do without him at the moment. I just want you to stand by me."
Bian, come forward and retreat with me in the future, and we will see how things go in the future."
He Mucheng breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded seriously.
Shi Hong stood up, put the civet cat into the soft basket, and touched the wolfdog wagging its tail at him, "Let's go, it should be safe now."
Seeing that his clothes were thin, He Mucheng took off his cloak and handed it to him, "Your Majesty, I'm very close, but you have a long way back to the palace. Put this on so you don't get cold."
Shi Hong did not hesitate. He put on his cloak obediently and said hopefully, "My father has Zhang Bin, and General Ji has Mu Sheng. If I can also have my favorite disciple, I will have no regrets in life."
"There will be. Your Majesty, Corporal Li Xian, there will definitely be people who are willing to go through fire and water for you."
He Mucheng looked at his lonely profile and thought about what was said in the book. In order to protect the Zhao Kingdom, he took the initiative to give in, but was eventually killed by Shi Hu, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy.
The two walked out of the courtyard. Shi Hong stretched out his palm and said calmly, "The snow has stopped. I'll take you back home. I'm familiar with the roads in Xiangguo and will take you on a shortcut."
The two of them walked one behind the other until they stood at the back door of the mansion.
"Your Majesty, I'm here." She turned her head and smiled brightly.
"Well, go in. If you have any difficulty, just come to the palace and find me." He waved his hand and watched her enter the palace.
As soon as He Mucheng stepped into the threshold with his front foot, Ji Yunyuan lifted his back foot by the back of the neck like a chicken. In just an instant, his feet left the ground!
His voice was filled with overwhelming anger, "Where have you gone!"
