prince's rivers and lakes

Chapter 125 He woke up and found out
Two piles of adult-sized bonfires were burning brightly, and the surrounding area was as bright as daylight. The pine torches in the hands of the guards and imperial guards burst out from time to time with the crackling sound of fat crackling. Surrounded by the stars and the moon, the Empress Dowager came to the river bank.

Firewood and tightly pressed straw were spread on the bottom, and boxes of "red poppy grass paste" were piled up like mountains on top, and the guards of the king of Nanjun were pouring barrels of kerosene on it.

"Did you know? In some villages, the big guys go down the mountain to burn, kill and loot. After returning with a full load, they will light a bonfire, gather together to eat meat, drink, and play with women. Women are all stolen, and some of you are like this." The prodigal daughters of the rivers and lakes joined in on their own initiative."

Hei Ji lowered her voice, revealing some envy and said to Bai Ji.

"Bah, I've been mixed up in the cottage where the grass is a bandit, and I'm still a prodigal girl. Have you ever seen any romantic drama about the village owner and Mrs. Yazhai?" Bai Ji said dismissively. .

Originally, in Bai Ji's mind, the image of a romantic and talented man who played a role with her was relatively vague, but now unconsciously, she has the appearance of a prince.

If the eldest son is the village master, Bai Ji is still willing to be the wife of the village, but in the real world, the village masters are all rough men who don't take a bath, their beards are full of food scum, and the gaps between their teeth can get food that was eaten three days ago. shredded pork.

There is no feeling of romance at all, and the prodigal girls will run away when they encounter this kind of situation.

"But the cottage is full of strong men, muscular but not so thoughtful, just suitable for you to practice and play with their pure, rough, sensitive and fragile hearts."

Hei Ji thought for a while and said, wholeheartedly persuading Bai Ji to join the cottage, "Otherwise, as soon as you enter the rivers and lakes, you will meet a master of flowers like Shi Zi, who has no practical experience, and you will be the one who will be played with."

Although what Hei Ji said was reasonable, Bai Ji felt that she would rather be played by a master of flowers like Shizi than a gang of robbers who ate too much meat and smelled of bad breath and alcohol. What's the fun in that?

Without a beautiful appearance, Bai Ji has no interest in their pure hearts.

"Who said I have no practical experience? Recently, I have accumulated experience with Shizi, and at the same time, it has verified that many of my skills are effective."

Bai Ji snorted, "Don't you want to be a chivalrous woman? I think you are more interested in being the Mrs. Yazhai who robs houses."

Hei Ji was about to refute, but she heard Tang Wanrong reprimanded in a low voice: "Calm down for a while... I heard that the King of Nanjun wants to destroy a batch of red poppy ointment here."

"Huh? He destroyed his. Could it be that you still want to steal someone else?" Hei Ji looked at Tang Wanrong suspiciously, she seemed like someone who could do such a thing.

"If you had intended this earlier, you should have planned it in advance. It has already been piled up here, and the empress dowager is here. Unless you directly send someone to rob you from the encirclement of the imperial army, there is no other way." Bai Ji shook her head. , holding Hei Ji away from Tang Wanrong, lest the two sisters get involved.

These two are thoughtless, Tang Wanrong gave them a cold look, "Don't you think about where this batch of red poppy paste came from? Such a large pile of red poppy paste suddenly appeared in Longyin City, it can only be Rong Qing Books. In other words, your actions that night made wedding dresses for others."

Hei Ji and Bai Ji glanced at each other. Qin Shouan destroyed Rong Qingshu's property that night, and at the same time made public the harm of the red poppy ointment. There was an uproar in Longyin City, and most ordinary people praised it for punishing rape. evil.

This is the first time for the two sisters to do things in a real way, because what they do is also a matter of justice and justice, and they usually enjoy hearing other people's comments and praises.

Also because of the public opinion during this period of time as a foreshadowing, the king of Nanjun now has such a place, and he can gain praise from the government and the opposition and from the market.

In addition, the Empress Dowager was invited to watch the sale of cigarettes, who isn't full of praises?His reputation as king of Nanjun will also rise.

"We'll discuss it with the prince when we get back." Hei Ji was naturally upset, but after thinking about it, Qin Shouan would definitely be upset too.

No matter how daring Hei Ji and Bai Ji were, they would not take revenge on the Nanjun King on their own initiative, but Qin Shouan could lead the two sisters to fight again.

There is no problem for the prince to be against the king of the county, not to be regarded as a crime of the subordinates.

Both Hei Ji and Bai Ji felt that this was another act of misconduct following Qin Shou'an—no, they both felt a little eager for this opportunity to eradicate rape and evil.

Immediately, he became impatient with the so-called sale of cigarettes, and he just wanted to report to Qin Shouan quickly, and make Nanjun King pay the price tonight.

The empress dowager raised her hand to brush her hair beside her ears, and the corners of her mouth under the veil slightly turned up.

Tang Wanrong and Hei Ji Bai Ji spoke in a moderate voice, just enough for the empress dowager to hear.

The conflict between Qin Shouan and Rong Qingshu, because of the participation of Hei Ji and Bai Ji, the Empress Dowager basically knew about it.

This kind of thing, at a big scale, is an open and secret struggle between foreign relatives and the royal family, and at a low level, it is a battle of spirits between dudes.

It is impossible for her to take the initiative to intervene unless the matter is not related to the court... For example, the Rong family directly filed a complaint with her, saying by name that it was Qin Shouan who destroyed Cishu Xianfang and Huancai Pavilion, Kidnapped Rong Qingshu.

The point is that it is impossible for the Rong family to be so stupid. To accuse an elder son without any evidence is unavoidable to be too arrogant and domineering.

It's not a big deal... At this moment, the Empress Dowager's mood is like a blazing bonfire, crackling.

Tongues of fire rolled in all directions, burning her state of mind that had kept her body like a jade for so many years into ashes, and even her heart, her body, were immersed in the flames, burned completely, and became completely unrecognizable.

She also heard Tang Wanrong instructing Hei Ji and Bai Ji not to act rashly with Qin Shouan... The Empress Dowager naturally knew that Tang Wanrong told her what she had said.

The meaning is of course: Empress Dowager, I can only talk to Hei Ji and Bai Ji. If Qin Shouan really wants to do something, I can't stop it, but you see, it's justifiable.

If it had been before today, the Empress Dowager would not have thought much when she heard this. Tang Wanrong was just showing the attitude she should have as a member of Langya Palace.

But the empress dowager has a lot of thoughts now, and she is also a little biased:
Tang Wanrong is Tang Qingwu's biological sister. Both sisters are stunning, and both have a vicious temperament, which can easily make a man feel "I feel sorry for you". Few men in this world can resist the charm of their sisters.

Back then Tang Qingwu was fascinated by the flirtatious and affectionate late emperor, she was the only one in his eyes, now Qin Shouan will also bow down under Tang Wanrong's skirt?
Langya Prince's Mansion is very large, Qin Shouan and Tang Wanrong are a bit reluctant to say that they are under the same roof, and it is impossible to get along day and night if they want to avoid people's eyes and ears, but after all, they are close to each other, so it is normal for the two to really develop something.

Was Tang Wanrong's words just now based on the standpoint of the Langya Palace, or was she thinking about Qin Shouan involuntarily because she already had some thoughts about Qin Shouan?

It's hard to tell... The empress dowager was in a daze, she didn't even listen to what the king of Nanjun said when she came up to greet her, and just casually said a few words.

She didn't come back to her senses until Chonghuamei helped her by the hand, only to hear Nanjun Wang's generous speech:

"The red poppy grass ointment is extremely harmful. It harms the people's bodies, and makes people feel depressed and depressed. When it is introduced into the army, it will even reduce the army's combat power. Not to mention expanding the territory, even the defense of the country is counted on." No. If it continues to flood and the people don’t do production, it will shake the foundation of the country..."

Tang Wanrong, Hei Ji, and Bai Ji heard these words familiarly. They were basically the contents of the notice written by Qin Shouan. They couldn't help but look at the King of Nanjun with contempt. If you want to be greedy, at least think of a few words yourself, and even copy the lines. , Intuit shameless!
"Today, the Kyoto government accidentally seized a batch of red poppy herbal ointment with unknown origins and illegally hidden. After the king knew about it, he decided to cooperate with the Kyoto government to destroy it, and asked the queen mother to authenticate and cooperate with this move, in order to promote a comprehensive inspection of the circulation in Longyin City. Red Poppy Ointment, clean up the source..."

The King of Nanjun knew very well that judging from the current situation, it would be very difficult for large quantities of red poppy paste to enter Longyin City from other places, so this batch in his hands was a rare commodity to live in.

The stronger the comprehensive inspection, the higher the price of his batch of goods... Don't look at many medical centers that are giving up drug addiction for free, but in fact there are still many addicts who have not chosen to quit.

Firstly, most of them have certain identities and are unwilling to lose face; secondly, they have formed psychological dependence, and even feel that the advantages of this thing outweigh the disadvantages. Let the family die.

"I also ask the empress dowager to ignite the fire herself, and burn these poisonous substances that destroy the bodies and spirits of our people in New Qin and shake the foundation of our country, under the raging flames!"

Under the light of the fire, the righteousness on the face of Nanjun King was passionate, a lot of sweat dripped from his puffy body, his robe was slightly spread out, and he walked boldly, holding the torch high and sent it to Chong Huamei.

The king of Nanjun naturally knew that a man should not get too close to the empress dowager, and he thoughtfully kept a distance of more than six feet from her.

Chong Huamei took the torch and walked to the Empress Dowager.

The torch was close at hand, reflecting the empress dowager's skin was filled with ruddy luster, she stretched out her gentle and white fingers, and gently took off the veil.

The King of Nanjun couldn't help holding his breath. The Empress Dowager wore a veil most of the time. Whenever she took off the veil, the bright red and soft lips, the delicate skin like jade, and the slender neck would spread out. The elegance of the dress makes people feel as if they have ascended to the heavenly palace and glimpsed the true face of a fairy.

Sister-in-law...Which little uncle doesn't want to take care of his brother's widow?
"Burn it cleanly—" The empress dowager repeated this sentence, took the fire and held it in her hand, showing appreciation.

Her eyes fell on Nanjun Wang's fat body and seemingly honest and upright face.

The king of Nanjun quickly restrained the absent-minded expression of the color and the soul, and showed a few traces of reserved and gentle smiles.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Empress Dowager took a few steps forward and looked at the boxes of "Red Poppy Ointment" piled up like mountains in front of her.

She turned around suddenly and threw the torch vigorously at Nanjun King.

The King of Nanjun only felt that his chest was hit, and the torch fell to the ground, and he was in a daze for a while.

The torch was soaked in kerosene, and when it was smashed, the kerosene splashed and sprinkled on the satin robe of the king of Nanjun, and the flames burned instantly.

"Ah!" Nanjun Wang came back to his senses in the blink of an eye, screaming and thumping.

The fire was so raging that it couldn't be extinguished with his hands. Nanjun Wang rolled on the ground in panic, trying to suppress the fire, but under the blessing of kerosene, it burned through his clothes in an instant, and his flesh was so hot that he couldn't bear to live.

Everyone present was stunned, except Chong Huamei and Tang Wanrong who were most familiar with the empress dowager's methods, even Hei Ji and Bai Ji were dumbfounded.

No one thought that the Empress Dowager would throw the torch on the Nanjun King... Is she going to burn the Nanjun King to death?

The Dragon Yin Guards and the Imperial Guards were on alert for a moment, and they took their respective positions to surround everyone in the arena, and surrounded them several layers outside to prevent accidents.

Hei Ji and Bai Ji led several people to approach the men brought by the King of Nanjun, and drew out their long knives to suppress them.

For a while, no one rushed to rescue Nanjun Wang.

The king of Nanjun panicked, but he finally reacted and jumped into the river like crazy, finally extinguishing the fire on his body.

Chong Huamei winked, and Hei Ji and Bai Ji put their swords back into their sheaths, and stood behind Tang Wanrong. They wanted to discuss and analyze the situation with Tang Wanrong, but they found that Tang Wanrong's face turned pale, and they followed Se Se It looks like a trembling quail—I don’t know if it’s an act or not.

Only then did Nanjun Wang's personal followers jump into the river in a panic and help him up.

He was dressed in rags, how could there be any dignity of a prince?The robe was burned to pieces, and the two hairy legs were shivering in the evening wind.

"You, how dare you do this, you really treat me as the Qin royal family, can you bully me? If... If you don't give me an explanation, I will unite with all my uncles and brothers, and go to the Ming Hall to seek justice!" Nanjun King endured the pain , pointing angrily at the empress dowager.

It looked terrible to be burned, but in fact the injury was not serious, the most important thing was that he burned the dignity of the king of Nanjun!This made him how to put on the ostentation of a prince in Longyin City in the future!

But he still didn't lose his mind, and he didn't rush forward to fight desperately with the Queen Mother—no man could get within six feet of her.

The empress dowager pointed at the piles of boxes.

Chong Huamei took a few steps forward, her figure rose from the ground, the zhenqi of a ninth-rank master was as powerful as the sea, and a gust of wind blew up, blowing the torches in all directions to the side, and even suppressed the two piles of bonfires The few will go out.

She jumped into the air and struck out with one palm, like a Buddha's seal from the sky, directly smashing the piled boxes into pieces.

"Red Poppy Ointment" rolled all over the ground.

After Chonghua Mei fell to the ground, he picked up a piece and looked at it, crushed it lightly, and said to the Queen Mother: "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the red poppy grass ointment in the mouth of the King of Nanjun is actually half-dried horse manure, and some Bad-smelling saltpeter, medicinal herbs, etc., taste like red poppy paste when burned."

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager raised her head slightly with her back to the King of Nanjun, and looked coldly from the side. Her beautiful chin was almost resting on her soft shoulders, and the dark pupils under her long eyelashes were as deep as night, leaving the King of Nanjun a Beautiful enough, but also majestic and indifferent profile.

The king of Nanjun felt his knees go weak, and he fell to his knees involuntarily, feeling cold all over his body, his internal organs were squeezed together icily, and there was a violent surge in his intestines and stomach, making him hug his chest and abdomen tightly, Huddled together as if burned to death.

"I'm tired—I'll rest here tonight."

Chong Huamei picked up the torch and threw it into the boxes of horse manure.

Taotao flames.

……

……

Zhuxuan Building, Zhuxuan Mountain House on the second floor.

The evening breeze is blowing, and the blowing bamboo leaves hit the window lattice. The leaves and the painted flowers and colors are reflected together. The middle ground of the painting and the real bamboo leaves are intertwined.

Qin Shouan moved his fingers and scratched on the bed, feeling the soft fabric. There seemed to be some more touching aftertaste left on his fingers, which made people feel a kind of charming aftertaste.

He slowly opened his eyes, the daze of just waking up caused his eyelashes to blink a few times in a row, his eyes refocused, and he looked at everything around him.

Luxurious bed nets, warm fragrance, the whole body is softly trapped in the blanket, making people not want to move.

Um?what happened?How can I sleep here?

Qin Shouan gradually recalled the previous events. He seemed to put his finger on her armpit in order to save the woman, and as a result, all the energy in his body was sucked away——his consciousness was clear at this moment.

Now there seems to be some more blurred and chaotic pictures in my mind, I can't see clearly, and I want to recall them anxiously, but I can't do anything.

Qin Shouan felt the state of his body.

Some true qi was bred in the body again, which was a little faster than normal.

Logically speaking, one's true qi has been emptied, and if one does not supplement with any delicacies or miraculous medicines, and only relies on the body's natural gestation, the recovery speed of one's true qi will be very slow.

Could it be that during the period of his sleepiness, someone fed him something to eat?
The woman liked to feed him. Qin Shouan pouted his lips, as if he had indeed eaten something... It wasn't very tasty and tasteless, but he just felt satisfied after eating it.

What could it be?Qin Shouan couldn't remember anything.

What about the woman?
She got his true energy, so it's normal for her to wake up before him... Could it be that she fed him something after waking up?
Qin Shouan sat up from the bed, only to realize that although his zhenqi was not abundant, his physical strength was sufficient.

There seemed to be a lot of fresh flesh and blood all over his body, a bit like when he met a lamb and fed him fairy grass in the mountains of Tiandaomen.

It's just a little bit, of course it's incomparable... It's obviously impossible for the woman to feed him with jelly grass.

Not to mention whether there is, even if there is, it is impossible for others to be willing.

"You're awake."

Qin Shouan pushed aside the bed curtain, only to see the woman walking slowly.

She changed her clothes, but still wore a veil. She had a plump figure, but she still had a graceful and swaying feeling, especially the waist and hip lines, which always made people feel that this is the beauty that people are obsessed with in the mundane world.

She is obviously a mature woman, but she also has a pure taste. It seems that her plumpness is a feeling that is naturally hidden, not nourished by men.

"Girl, why did you faint earlier?" Qin Shouan asked with concern. Seeing that her expression was as gentle as usual, and there was no worry on her brows, it meant that this kind of illness probably happened frequently, and she was already used to it.

If a person often faints, there is definitely some intractable disease that cannot be cured.

"It's an old problem." The woman smiled apologetically, "It seems to be a special kind of physique, but it hurt the young master... Does the young master feel that the true energy in the body has been drained?"

The smile under the veil was a little gentle.

There was even some sweetness in the woman's heart. When he woke up, the first thing he cared about was why she fainted... No, this is not a sweet feeling. It should be that the younger generation is so caring and caring, which made her feel warm.

This warmth and sweetness are often somewhat similar, but I misunderstood my mood for a while, haha.

"Yeah, it's kind of scary." Qin Shouan nodded, "Did you feed me something else? I think it's at the level of a panacea. It greatly increases my vitality, and it seems to be able to strengthen people's physique."

"Yes, Guanghan Toad Palace Pill."

Qin Shouan's expression changed slightly.

He has heard of this kind of elixir, "Guanghan Toad Palace Pill" is the treasure of Riyue Mountain, only the mountain masters of all generations know how to refine it.

The word "Guanghan" means that it uses Guanghan ginseng.

Guanghan ginseng is not the most valuable ingredient in this elixir, but it is used a lot, and the word "Guanghan" was taken into account when naming it. In fact, the most rare and rare ingredient is related to the word "Toad Palace". What it is, no one knows at all.

According to the records of rare medicines in Jianghu in Tiandaomen, Guanghan Changong Pill has the effect of bringing the dead back to life——Qin Shouan thinks it is a bit exaggerated, this thing is probably the same thing as the old mountain ginseng that hangs people's lives, which makes Ben still breathe man extended breath.

Back to life?Sun Wukong only did it by going to the Hall of Yama and marking his name on the book of life and death. How can there be such a magical elixir in the world?
But I have to say that even if he doesn't have much true energy in his body, he still has endless strength, especially...how should I put it?The feeling of waking up in the morning and wanting to do some exercise is extremely strong.

"Then I was a blessing in disguise." Qin Shouan laughed, and suddenly his expression changed, "Girl, you didn't mean you let me take this medicine to dilute its strength, and then turn it into some kind of human medicine to cure your illness Bar……"

In some ancient pharmacopoeias, there is such a method of taking medicine.

Some medicines are too strong for the patient to bear, so they are given to a healthy young man, and then the young man is allowed to bleed into the patient's body.

Such young people are called "Human Yaozi".

The woman couldn't help but sneered, and after carefully looking at his expression, she realized that he was joking, but she still felt guilty.

Of course Qin Shouan was joking, he didn't feel any discomfort in his whole body, let alone the inevitable feeling of weakness after bloodletting, he stood up and took a few steps.

Something is wrong.

He might not have been bled, but he felt somewhere in himself, as if he had been severely shrunk and lost weight.

It's the feeling of being emptied, without a drop.

"Girl, don't come here for now." Qin Shouan quickly ran behind the screen, lifted up his robe, and reached into his trousers to check.
-
Today it has returned to 6000, and it is gradually increasing, and I will do it soon.

Thanks to the boss of Black Tongue Candy for his generous reward of 100000 starting coins, adding a leader to this book, and increasing the number of additions by 3!

The following words are newly added after uploading, not counting money:

Some readers may think that the author is not stupid, how can you use fire to burn opium?In fact, this is mainly because the new Qin Dynasty has not been truly poisoned, and the government and the public have not studied this thing carefully. Lin Zexu's smoking ban is also an improved method after accumulating experience in smoking ban.

When writing things, the author often does not write as correct or scientifically as possible, but must first conform to the background and character settings in the text.

The king of Nanjun had no problem with burning with fire, but Qin Shouan had a problem with burning with fire.
