After about seven or eight days, I don't know whether the golden sore medicine given by the young man named Zhang really had a miraculous effect, or whether Mi Jiang's witch physique was indeed different from ordinary people. In short, her injuries healed very quickly. After resting on the couch for a few days, he was able to get down and walk, and the speed of healing his injuries was much faster than that of Pingyu Lord Xiong Hu.
However, her face still clearly lacked color. Zhao Hongrun couldn't help much in this regard. At best, he could only order someone to buy a few pig leg bones from the market, add a few dates to make a thick soup, and make a soup. Drink a few bowls of Mijiang per meal to replenish blood.
Aren't you afraid that my injury will be harmful to you after I recover?
Mi Jiang had never asked about this kind of question, and Zhao Hongrun had never mentioned it. It seemed that there was just one more person in the house, and there were no other changes.
This strange phenomenon made it difficult for many generals under Zhao Hongrun to adapt, especially when Yan Mo, Shen Yu, Zhang Ao, Li Meng, Chu Heng and others saw Mi Jiang arriving in the house under the guidance of Yang Shixing. In the yard, they were sitting on stone benches with mattresses on them, holding teacups in their hands and quietly watching the snowy scene in the yard. The astonishment in their hearts couldn't help but become a little stronger.
"Is it really her? I can't tell..."
"People should not be judged by their appearance..."
Whenever they see Mi Jiang sitting quietly in the yard drinking tea, Yan Mo, Shen Yu and others will inevitably whisper for a while.
They simply couldn't believe that Mi Jiang, who looked as quiet and dignified as a wealthy daughter at the moment, was actually the same person as she had been when she fought against them with a dagger.
"His Royal Highness, Prince Su, allows her to enter and exit the palace freely?" Zongwei Zhang Ao asked somewhat incomprehensibly. In his opinion, a dangerous woman like Mi Jiang should be locked up in shackles.
Zongwei Shen Yu smiled bitterly upon hearing this, shrugged and said: "Your Highness's thoughts are often different from those of ordinary people... However, judging from the current situation, this woman should be harmless..."
"Harmless?" Yan Mo, the general of Pingyang Army, gave a bitter smile and glanced at his right hand involuntarily, with lingering fear in his eyes.
You have to know how many days. Although Shen Yu and others were indeed intoxicated by powder similar to intoxicating drugs and fell into coma, he was indeed poisoned because when he was trying to stop the little witch Mi Rui, he grabbed her The wrist caused a large area of strange bright red particles to arouse in the palm of the hand.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongrun brought Mi Jiang back to Zhengyang County, and after Mi Jiang regained consciousness, under her guidance, Zhao Hongrun ordered Shen Yu to find the antidote in Mi Jiang's bag and apply it on Yan Mo's palm. .Finally, the weird red spots gradually receded.
But what made Yan Mo dumbfounded was that he originally thought he might lose an arm due to poisoning this time, but Mi Jiang told him a cruel fact without expression: the poison of lacquer wood is only There was a red spot on his palm, and the whole palm was stinging, making it difficult to move. As for the ulcers and erosion all over the body, it was all Yan Mo's own delusion.
At that time, Yan Mo was secretly glad that he had not gritted his teeth and made a move like a strong man cutting off his wrist beforehand. It was really wise and witty!
And just when Yan Mo, Shen Yu and others were walking through the pavilion of the courtyard with strange expressions, Mi Jiang, who was sitting quietly in the courtyard watching the snow scene, also noticed Shen Yu and others not far away from her side, and turned her head to look. Take a look.
Then, she drank hot tea by herself and watched Shen Yu and others disappear at the end of the corridor with an expressionless face.
He... really doesn't intend to restrict me?
Whenever she thinks of this question, Mi Jiang always feels a little uncomfortable.
Although, if the rumors are true, her life is now tied to that of Zhao Hongrun, and both will be prosperous and devastated, but logically speaking, the vigilance against her should not be so lax.
Do you think it's unnecessary and just ignore it...?
Mi Jiang thought to herself.
At this moment, a figure rushed in near the door of the mansion, and while Mi Jiang was distracted, he hugged her while she was sitting on the stone bench.
Mi Jiang turned her head subconsciously. Only then did she realize that the person throwing herself in her arms was actually her sister Mi Rui.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Mi Rui was seen rubbing her sister's chest with her face, and said angrily: "Sister, I knew you were kidnapped by him, don't worry. I have already sent reinforcements."
reinforcement?
Mi Jiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly noticed someone approaching again. She suddenly raised her head and took a look, but was shocked to see Xiong Tuozheng, Lord of Yangcheng, standing aside with a strange expression.
"Lord Xiong Tuo?" Mi Jiang looked at the visitor in surprise. After all, the relationship between the visitor and their sisters was not shallow.
"Ajaan, you are fine."
Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, said hello with a wry smile. He never thought that after more than ten years of separation, he would reunite with the cousins under such circumstances.
At this time, Xi Rui seemed to have noticed something. She wrinkled her nose and sniffed at her sister's chest, and shouted in panic: "Sister, are you injured? Did that guy hurt you? I'll go find him to settle the score!"
"Please calm down, sister!" Mi Jiang raised his hand and lightly knocked on her sister's forehead angrily, and explained angrily: "This injury was not caused by Ji Run, but by someone else." After that, , she turned to look at Xiong Tuo, Lord of Yangcheng, and asked in surprise: "Why is Lord Xiong Tuo here?"
Xiong Tuo walked to the opposite side of Mi Jiang, sat down on the opposite side of the stone table, pointed at Mi Rui, and explained to Mi Jiang: "It was Xiao Rui who came to my Yangcheng and cried to me, saying that you were captured by Ji Run... …”
Having said this, his expression couldn't help but look a little weird. After all, he knew what Mi Jiang was capable of, but he couldn't stand the cry of another younger cousin, Mi Rui, so he ran over to take a look.
Just now, when he saw Mi Jiang sitting in the yard drinking tea from a distance, with no Wei soldiers guarding him at all, Xiong Tuo had already realized that this matter was not what Mi Rui had speculated.
"Master Xiong Tuo misunderstood, Ji Run didn't do anything to me."
"Well, I can see it..." Xiong Tuo nodded, and then said with a strange expression: "Actually, the most important thing for me to come on this trip...is your green Gu really given to that Ji Run?"
Mi Jiang looked a little unnatural when she heard this, glanced at her sister who was holding an ostrich in her arms, and said lightly: "That's about it."
"Well..."
Xiong Tuo nodded slightly. It was undeniable that his mood was a bit complicated at the moment.
You know, just as Zhao Hongrun has gradually begun to notice that Xiong Tuo is not like the great nobles of Chu who only know how to enjoy luxury, but an ambitious king of Yi, Xiong Tuo has also gradually begun to face up to Zhao Hongrun, who is older than him. There are more opponents than a whole round, and I no longer dare to underestimate him at all.
Both sides gradually realize that the other may become their strong enemy in the future.
Unexpectedly, in this situation, a certain misunderstanding between Zhao Hongrun and Mi Jiang led to a bad relationship that was difficult to break.
This matter not only gave Zhao Hongrun a headache, Xiong Tuo was also in a dilemma.
Xiong Tuo has never told anyone that the person he respects most in his life is not his father Xiong Xu who is currently sitting in the position of king. It is his uncle Xiong Hao, Lord of Runan.
He was the uncle who was willing to sacrifice himself wholeheartedly to strengthen their great Chu; he was the uncle who was trying to weaken the power of the Xiong clan and strengthen the royal power, so that their great Chu could reform and change, and gradually become the only great country in the world.
Xiong Tuo still remembers the scene when he carried the head of his uncle Runan Lord Xiong Hao to Shoying and presented it in front of the nobles of the Xiong clan.
At that time, his ears seemed to still be reverberating with the sincere teachings of his uncle Xiong Hao, Lord of Runan, who had given him instructions before his death and entrusted him with his unfulfilled ambitions.
What appeared in front of him was the sneer and look in the eyes of most of the Xiong clan members in the Shouying Chu Palace.
At that time, Xiong Tuo realized that the Xiong clan might really be doomed.
More and more Xiong clan members have lost the spirit of their ancestors, even the father they once longed for and looked up to, King Xiong Xu of Chu.
"Mr. Xiong Tuo, my highness invites you!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Xiong Tuo came back to his senses from his memories and turned to look at the two daughters in front of him, his uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao's only second daughter, and also the only second bloodline. Then, he turned to look at
He looked at Zong Wei Shen Yu who had arrived at the courtyard at some unknown time.
"Please lead the way."
"please."
After comforting Mi Jiang and Sister Mi Rui with a few words, Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo followed Zongwei Shen Yu and arrived at Zhao Hongrun's study without any fear.
As in the past few days, Zhao Hongrun was sitting behind his desk, flipping through some books. From the corner of his eye, he saw Xiong Tuo walking into the study. He was not surprised. He said as if he had expected it: "It's a couple of minutes later than I expected."
Oh, did I misjudge the status of those sisters in your heart?"
"No." Yangcheng Lord Xiong Tuo smiled faintly and said without any concealment: "After I heard the news, I came here non-stop... It should be said that you underestimated that girl's respect for her sister.
?She stayed in that wooden house for three or four days. Then she walked to Yangcheng to ask for help."
Seeing that Xiong Tuo, the Lord of Yangcheng, explained to him in such detail, Zhao Hongrun was slightly surprised and said in confusion: "I don't know since when, I gradually no longer feel your hostility towards me..."
"Maybe it was after I learned that you were infected by Ajaan's green poison?"
"..." Zhao Hongrun turned over a page of the book, frowned and asked, "Are those sisters that important to you?"
"Who knows."
It was obvious that Xiong Tuo did not want to delve into the matter and quickly changed the topic.
"I heard that you are planning to move the civilians under my rule to your Wei Kingdom?"
"..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Hongrun paused in turning over the book and glanced at Xiong Tuo elusively.
Seeing this, Xiong Tuo waved his hand and explained: "I don't care about Ajiang... You moved civilians from several cities to Runan. It's so huge, how can you hide it from me?"
Seeing that the other party had revealed the matter, Zhao Hongrun stopped being secretive, put down the book, looked at Xiong Tuo, and said calmly: "Do you want to interfere?"
"Don't be in a hurry to fall out, I don't care about this." Xiong Tuo let out a breath and said in a sad tone: "Thanks to you, in order to redeem Xiong Hu and Xiong Qi, I have spent all my money and raised money.
I can't afford those people..." At this point, he leaned forward slightly and made a condition that could not be refuted: "I want rice! A huge amount of rice!"
…
Zhao Hongrun curled his lips when he heard this: "Do you think this king would do something like that to endanger the enemy?"
"You will!"
I saw the Lord of Yangcheng, Xiong Tuo, staring at Zhao Hongrun intently, and said in a deep voice: "Because I will tell you clearly that I, the West of Chu, am not richer than the East of Chu, and the Lord of Liyang, Xiong Sheng, is far more difficult to deal with than me. "
What does he mean by this?
Zhao Hongrun tapped his fingers on the desk and fell into deep thought. (To be continued.)
