It is said that the King of Liao returned from the defeat of Goryeo. From the King of Liao to the generals and even ordinary soldiers, they all made a fortune, and the kings became more and more impatient. King Lu first sent General Liu Tong to send troops to Japan, and King Yan ordered Shenwu General Feng Tang
Leading troops to attack Japan, the King of Shu took advantage of Yunnan to invade Burma. After receiving the letters asking for help from the leaders of several countries in Nanyang, Huo Sheng, the king of Nan'an County, and Wu Fengchun, the general of Guangdong Province, joined forces in Nanyang. An army also entered Siam, but there was no one.
The flag, I don’t know which company it belongs to.
It's fine elsewhere, but Japan is the most lively. Several princes robbed there, not intending to educate the people, but just killing and looting. King Chen has been in Japan for a long time, and has not even returned home for the New Year. He is trying to appease the people and win their hearts. I heard that Liu
Dong and Feng Tang both came and were furious: "Rebellious ministers and traitors!" So they sent two envoys to see the two generals and told them that the Japanese pirates were some wanderers from Japan. They could just be subdued and they would never come to our court again in the future.
Invasion; the two generals do not need to commit more crimes, I will devote myself to educating them and so on. Liu Tong and Feng Tang both laughed, one said, "Anyway, they have committed a lot of crimes, there is no harm in doing more." The other said.
, "I'm afraid that King Chen is not here to educate the people of Japan, but for Japan's silver mines."
When King Chen stayed in Japan, he initially wanted the territory. Later he found out that although the country was small, it had a lot of silver mines, so he became increasingly reluctant to leave. Because Huo Sheng never mentioned the silver mines, he only grabbed one and left; King Chen thought that he
Fortunately, no one else knew there was a mine here. Who knew that Situ Pan actually knew it! He became upset. After thinking about it for a few days, he gave the order: "We will raise our troops tomorrow and attack Feng Tang first!"
The general below was shocked: "Your Majesty, General Feng is good at fighting, so we may not be our opponents. Anyway, we have gained a lot of money, so why not go back to Chen Kingdom?"
King Chen said angrily: "Go back? Didn't Japan be given to him? No matter how capable Feng Tang is, he is a newcomer here and is not familiar with the geography of Japan. We have Huo Sheng's map in our hands, are we still afraid of him?" Nai gritted his teeth and said,
"It's settled! We'll start our troops early tomorrow morning." Then he refused to listen and waved them out. The generals had no choice but to retreat for the time being, preparing to come back to give advice tomorrow.
Early the next morning, everyone asked to see King Chen, but he did not come out for a long time. After calling for a long time, the Japanese woman who served him came out with tears in her eyes and kowtowed, making gestures without knowing what she meant. Then a Japanese man who knew how to speak in court came to ask her.
, and was immediately shocked! King Chen was fine last night, but suddenly fell into a coma early this morning. No matter how hard he pushed or shouted, he couldn't wake up! Everyone hurriedly called the military doctor and the Japanese doctor to see him, but they didn't know what happened to him. After being busy for several days, Chen
Wang Fen didn't wake up at all. The generals had no choice but to discuss: "It's better to go back." King Chen then withdrew his troops in a coma. Liu Tong and Feng Tang didn't believe it when they heard about it, and just thought he was cowardly.
Because Ma was smart and Liu Tong couldn't live without her, he brought her to Japan. He told Ma about King Chen's inexplicable coma. Ma was so shocked that it took him a long time to come back to his senses and write.
He wrote: "How come you are so good that you are in a coma? Do the Japanese natives have some witchcraft? Can they give it to the general?"
Liu Tong was surprised at first as to why she changed her face. When he saw the word, he smiled and said: "Xiangzhu has overthought it. He must have found an excuse to escape because he didn't dare to fight us. He wants to make the decision for the Japanese natives, he
To educate these natives is to help the Japanese people. Even if the Japanese people have witchcraft, how can they be blamed on him?"
Ma was still anxious and wrote: "His people killed a lot of Japanese people last year and robbed many rich Japanese city owners. I'm afraid that the Japanese people already hated him to the bone, so he had no choice but to start with him, and he has been delayed until now.
I just feel that this matter is strange, and I feel uneasy. I beg the prince not to take it to heart, and let people find out more about it. After all, Chen Guoxiao, it is cheap to find out."
Liu Tong thought for a while and said: "The beauty's words are reasonable, but they are weird after all." So he ordered someone to send a message back to the country and sent spies to Chen Kingdom.
When Ma heard that the messenger had left, she put her hand on her heart, her eyebrows still anxious. Liu Tong thought she was worried about being bewitched by Japanese natives, so he couldn't help but hugged her and said, "Xiangzhu, I know you are thinking of her wholeheartedly."
Look at me." Ma pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, but two tears oozed from the corners of her eyes.
On the other side, the soldiers and horses of Chen State sent King Chen back, and they stayed in the wild all day. Everyone planned the journey and expected to reach Chenzhou before noon tomorrow, and they were all very happy. Anyway, they made a lot of money, and King Chen couldn't care less about it.
But early the next morning, King Chen woke up! But he was completely powerless. The generals were surprised and happy, and they all said: "Your Majesty, you woke up at the right time." At this point, it was no longer possible to return to Japan, so they returned to Chenzhou.
When Concubine Hui heard that her son was back, she went to the door of the mansion to greet her. Now King Chen was well. She forced a smile and knelt down with his mother and kowtowed: "An unfilial son did not come back to accompany his mother to celebrate the New Year. It is a big sin!" Hui
The concubine didn't resent him, so she just held him in her arms and wept silently. When she got inside, she talked about the inexplicable coma, but she couldn't guess the reason. She also invited a doctor to take a look, but he couldn't find anything.
Zhou Damei stood aside silently for a long time. Seeing that she had nothing to do, she quietly retreated out. Returning to her own yard, she sat in the room for a while and said loudly: "Now that you are here, why don't you see me?"
Zhou Xiaolan swept in from the window and saluted: "Sister."
Zhou Damei said: "You gave Liu Lingsan to the prince."
"Yes." Zhou Xiaolan said, "The prince is determined to go his own way and wants to send troops to attack General Feng Tang. He doesn't have much troops, guns or ammunition left. It's obviously like hitting an egg against a rock."
Zhou Damei said: "Whether we send out troops or not, victory or defeat has nothing to do with you."
Zhou Xiaolan said: "Since I am a guard, I only care about the prince's life and death, and I don't care about anyone else. If he wants to die, I will stop him."
Zhou Damei said: "With your ability, how can you not protect him from the rebel army?"
Zhou Xiaolan smiled bitterly and said: "Sister, haven't you seen Western fire and guns? I can protect the prince's life in the rain of guns and arrows. Fire, guns, artillery, pig iron mines, but I can't do anything about these things. Although the prince and Feng Tang fought,
He may not die, and he may not live. Anyway, I don’t have the slightest certainty.”
Zhou Damei sighed: "You have overstepped your bounds. How can you control this matter? Why not persuade me?"
"There is nothing I can do to persuade you." Zhou Xiaolan said, "I have never met the prince."
Zhou Damei frowned and said, "I heard that you disappeared in Qiongzhou. What happened?"
Zhou Xiaolan lowered her head, smiled, and said, "I hid it." After a moment, she said, "The prince wants to take me into his room."
Zhou Damei was stunned for a while, then said: "Then... there is nothing we can do about it... Is that why you are hiding? You fool, why don't you discuss it with him."
Zhou Xiaolan said softly: "The prince is about to go to Japan to fight, and there is no reliable guard around him. Therefore, I followed quietly, only protecting his life and not caring about anything else. Sister," she said sternly, "we originally
I don’t owe King Chen anything, but I just followed Concubine Hui all the way here. Now, even if they have been kind to me, they have fully paid for protecting him on the battlefield. Besides, I can’t think of any other relationship between him and me.
What favor do I have?"
Zhou Damei's face darkened: "He is the master."
Zhou Xiaolan immediately said: "The Supreme Emperor is the master, and Eunuch Liu is our superior. One of them died without a trace. If the Supreme Emperor originally intended to make King Chen the crown prince, he has not done so yet. What if he was not appointed in the end?"
King Lu is still the eldest son, and the power of his ministers is not small. Prince Yizhong Lao Qiansui has been the prince for decades, isn't it useless?"
Zhou Damei was silent for a moment and asked: "Who taught you these words."
Zhou Xiaolan said: "No one taught me, I thought of it myself."
Zhou Damei said: "I raised you, and I know you won't have such rebellious thoughts."
"It didn't happen before. Ever since King Chen said he wanted to take me into his house." She smiled brightly, "You have to find an excuse for yourself, right? My sister knows that, and I don't despise King Chen."
Zhou Damei was stunned for another half day and sighed: "I really don't know why you don't like Prince Chen."
Zhou Xiaolan thought for a while: "I don't know, I don't like him anyway. Could it be that my sister expects me to be his maid?"
Zhou Damei shook his head: "Of course not. I have been worried about this. Fortunately, he didn't like you. I don't want to go to Qiongzhou...but he is the master after all."
Zhou Xiaolan smiled solemnly: "It's not worthwhile for him to take me into his house. If he doesn't destroy me, I will castrate him even if I don't kill him; if he destroys me - sister, you know that I am very smart.
He's also quite pretty, and he can use poison. It's not difficult to kill him to avenge him. If he kills me - what is he doing by bringing a dead person into his house? Isn't it unlucky?"
Zhou Damei glanced at her: "What's the rush? I won't hand you over."
Zhou Xiaolan smiled and said: "It won't be good."
Zhou Damei sighed: "Why should you be so strong? Just let it go if you don't want to. It's just that drugging the master is still a serious crime."
Zhou Xiaolan shook her head and said, "Sister, I don't recognize you."
"What don't you recognize?"
"I don't recognize Prince Chen as my master." Zhou Xiaolan said, "Prince Chen is just my old master. I only protected his life by helping him. It's not a sin to drug him."
Zhou Damei frowned and said, "If you don't want to, just don't want to. Could it be that you want to betray the Lord for such a trivial matter?"
Zhou Xiaolan said, "Well, I won't do any of these trivial matters." She said sweetly, "Sister, I don't know. Before King Chen sent out his troops, I went to other places, eavesdropped on many conversations, peeked on many things, and learned a lot.
Knowledge. And I also know what to do next.”
"What?"
Zhou Xiaolan suddenly laughed, which made Zhou Damei feel a little dazzled. She blinked: "I want to go to two places, occupy those two places, and plant a kind of tree that I don't have in my country. The tree will bear rare and novel fruits.
, the fruit can be used to make delicious tea. Sister, that tea tastes really good. When I become the ruler of the country in the future, I will give you a lot." She suddenly jumped back and held Zhou Damei's hand.
"Why bother? After all, we are biological sisters. If my sister kills me, she will lose a sister in vain; if she doesn't kill me, I will kill King Chen to vent my anger."
"You!" Zhou Damei was furious, "I know you are arrogant and arrogant; I don't want you to enter the prince's backyard. These are all easy to discuss. You should never think of betraying the Lord!"
The two of them exchanged hands in the room. They were running up and down in a flash, but they never broke anything or kicked over the tables, chairs, and coffee tables.
After fighting for a while, Zhou Xiaolan said, "Sister, let me go. How about I owe King Chen a favor and pay him back someday?" Zhou Damei didn't answer, but stepped forward and attacked two more times. Zhou Xiaolan said with a smile, "Sister, you can't.
Do you know that I learned another kind of poison from an old Japanese man in Japan?" Zhou Damei frowned. She added, "It's already on Prince Chen. If my sister lets me go, I will have someone deliver the antidote tomorrow.
Come. If you kill me, he will die. If you don't kill me and just trap me, he will still die - if you are not free, you would rather die. If I die, he will not be able to live."
Zhou Damei sneered: "Who am I? Can a mere deception fool me?"
Zhou Xiaolan said crisply: "Why don't you give it a try, sister? You are betting on Prince Chen's life."
Zhou Damei was stunned. After a long while, he pointed at her and said, "You seemed to be a different person when you went out. Could it be that you were hit by something? Prince Chen is the master after all. How can the master think about you? You can't blame him for that."
"I know." Zhou Xiaolan said, "I don't blame him. Which young master is not like this? I just don't want to follow him anymore. I poisoned him twice as a last resort."
Zhou Damei's face darkened: "Did you poison him twice?"
Zhou Xiaolan said: "The first time was when he insisted on having a head-on collision with Feng Tang. I knew the danger was high, so I had to give him Liu Ling San; the second time was this morning. I thought my sister would not let go.
After I left, I gave him the Japanese poison so that he could be used as a hostage to escape. Sister, there is no need to guess, it is true. Otherwise, since I know your temperament and am determined to leave, why would I come to see you?
Aren’t you looking for death?”
Zhou Damei was stunned for a long time, then sadly shook her head and sighed: "I never expected that you would betray the Lord."
Zhou Xiaolan smiled and said: "The world is changing every day, how can anything be impossible? Princes, generals, and ministers have the guts to be peaceful. Sister, in the future I will be the master of two countries overseas and come to pick up the eldest princess to enjoy her happiness?"
Zhou Damei looked at her intently for half a cup of tea, and finally said, "Let's go."
Zhou Xiaolan said: "Don't worry, sister, I will personally deliver the antidote early tomorrow morning."
Zhou Damei waved her hand and said, "I know you didn't poison King Chen. Let's go. If you don't go, I will regret it."
Zhou Xiaolan smiled bitterly and said: "It's really happened. I have no confidence that my sister will let me go, just in case..." She jumped out of the window and left a sentence from a distance, "Don't worry, sister, the antidote is here."
I’ll deliver it myself~~”
Zhou Damei moved his body, but finally did not chase her away. He stood there as motionless as a clay sculpture.
Early the next morning, a little beggar came to the south corner gate of Prince Chen's Mansion and said he had a letter for Guard Zhou. Zhou Damei took a look and found that it was indeed her sister's handwriting. "Sister guessed it right, I didn't give Prince Chen anything."
I was the one who told the story about the Japanese poison and medicine. I know that my sister didn’t dare to bet with me. Even if you guessed that I was telling the story, you wouldn’t dare to gamble with King Chen’s life. Yesterday, my little sister said something very strange sincerely.
It sounded like an ordinary thought: My sister was afraid that I had something to hide, so she didn’t dare to alert the snake, so she let me go. Although it was my fault, she still fell into my bluffing plan. A sentence I overheard somewhere last year,
I wrote and read it with my sister: Ambition is like a weed, it only needs to be taken care of; if there is no one to take care of it, it will grow without limits. Ma Fang, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was a slave at the beginning, and Shi Le, Emperor Ming of the later Zhao Dynasty, was a slave. After all, they all left their names in history. Today's novel
My sister is determined to go to Nanyang, and one day she may become a great weapon. How about coming to welcome her?"
Zhou Damei read the letter repeatedly for a long time and sighed in a low voice: "Not good." (..)
