After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 92 The legendary secret medicine
In front of Jiayuguan, Haijiao watched the exchange of prisoners of war between Chu and Hu from a distance.

In addition to the third prince, the exchanged prisoners of war included more than twenty barbarian noble officers.Such people usually have a good family background and can afford a ransom to buy back their relatives.

As for other soldiers, spies, and the like, no one cared about them, and no one paid to redeem them. Even if they were lucky and did not die in this year's torture, they were destined to become slaves in the Great War. Under the rule of the Chu border army, they had to do hard and heavy work that ordinary people could not afford.

After hearing the news, a lot of people came to watch. Although they were far away, they knew that the person standing among them was the third prince of the Hu people who almost destroyed their home. Everyone couldn't help but look with hatred in their eyes. Come.Even if they knew that this man had exchanged a large amount of food and property, which would ensure that Suzhou would not have to worry about food shortages in the next two years, they still had a lot of hatred in their hearts and wished they could stop him with their gazes.

Surrounded by such hateful eyes, the third prince Hu Ren rode away with his father's confidants with a sullen face.When he got on the horse, he staggered a few steps, as if there was something wrong with his legs and feet.After the horse set off, he could not ride any faster. He looked weak and obviously no longer as strong and powerful as he had been a year ago.Facing the shocked eyes of his father's confidants, his face turned even darker.

After the Hu people left, the generals ordered the soldiers to divide the supplies sent by the Hu people into two parts. A small part would be owned by the Jiayuguan garrison, and the rest would be transported to Suzhou City to wait for the people sent by the Dusi to return. The bank dispatches transportation elsewhere.Of course, Suzhou can also get a share.

The people gathered in front of Jiayuguan slowly dispersed, and Haijiao also controlled the horses and embarked on the return journey.

After returning home, Hai Jiao went to see his grandmother first and then returned to the east wing.He walked in front, and Haitang followed behind. The brother and sister talked about the prisoner exchange today in the room.

Hai Jiao quietly told his sister that he had just tried to identify the mouth shapes of the conversation between the third prince of the Hu family and Uncle Wang's confidant, and he could probably guess what they said.This is a technique he learned when he was a secret agent in his previous life. He is not very skilled, but his accuracy is about [-] to [-]%.

After hearing this, Haitang was a little excited: "It sounds like the third prince is not going to thank the new king, but more like he is going to kill someone. Will he really do this?"

Hai Jiao raised his eyebrows: "Many people from Dusi have been whispering in his ears. He has long been resentful towards the new King Khan and the Queen Mother. Now that he has the opportunity to go back, how can he not take revenge with all his strength? It's just that he is very weak now, and the confidants sent by his father to pick him up cannot let him die. He is destined to endure this breath first. But as long as he still remembers this hatred, the relationship between father and son and Xin The King Khan and the Queen Mother will soon start fighting again."

Haitang thought of the large quantities of livestock supplies that had just been transported by Suzhou Guardsmen on the street: "Those things will probably empty the wallets of the Hu people and nobles, right? I don't believe it. After losing so much supplies, they We still have the financial resources to support large-scale military operations, but at most they are just small-scale cavalry to harass the border."

Hai Jiao smiled: "I just recognized the family imprints of many Hu people and nobles, and there are also things from the Hu people's palaces in them. I'm afraid that the Hu people, Uncle Wang, are secretly poaching the new King Khan. Wait until the Queen Mother of the Khan finds out. After this incident, even if the third prince doesn't make a fuss about revenge, she won't be able to spare Uncle Wang, and the two sides will definitely fight. I just don't know if the third prince can recover in time to catch up with this wave. "

Haitang was a little reluctant: "I didn't expect that the third prince of the Hu people would go back with all his beard and tail. Although he exchanged a lot of things, which could make the soldiers and people of Suzhou live a little richer, but if he recovers his health, he will not be able to survive." No matter how many good things you get, those who cause trouble at our border with Dachu are not worth it!"

Hai Jiao chuckled, leaned closer to his sister and whispered: "Don't worry, he followed the old Khan King and fought with the border troops frequently. The border troops wanted to eat his flesh, how could they really let him go back so easily? Don't worry. Seeing that he is now completely beard and tail, it seems that he is just a little rheumatism and weak, and he will be fine if he is nourished, but who knows what he is like inside? I know that the Zhou family has a secret plan with Lord Tao, and I don't know how. It seems that some kind of secret medicine was used to make people poisoned, and it would take a year and a half before they died. Now, in full view of the public, our great Chu has handed over the person safely to the hands of the barbarians. A year and a half later, if he has another misfortune, it will be none of our business..."

Haitang looked at her brother in surprise: "How did brother know?"

Hai Jiao smiled proudly: "Of course I overheard it in the guardhouse! General Gu's son was not angry that the third prince Hu Ren was released, and made a fuss about going to kill someone. General Gu pulled him into the room and whispered for a long time. Wednesday The general also followed to coax people. I heard what General Wednesday said with my own ears." General Gu is actually General Wednesday's cousin-in-law, and his son is also General Wednesday's junior.General Wednesday would never have revealed such secrets if it wasn't to comfort his children.

Haitang blinked, raised her index finger and said "hiss" to her brother: "Brother, just tell me privately, but don't let anyone else know."

Hai Jiao winked at her: "Don't worry, brother was very careful and didn't let anyone notice that I was eavesdropping from behind the house. Except for you, I won't reveal a word in front of my grandparents and cousins. "

Haitang knew that he still knew what was right now, so she felt relieved.

As for the secret that Haijiao overheard...she was inclined to believe that it was true.

The Zhou family would probably be more willing to meet the third prince on the battlefield, but Tao Yue couldn't tell.Although he is an upright person, he does not stick to the rules.Since he knew before leaving the capital that the captured third prince must be released safely after the peace talks, how could he give the latter the opportunity to lead his troops to invade Da Chu again?While the third prince is still under Da Chu's control, isn't it normal to do something?

Haitang remembered the secrets she had heard five or sixty years ago when she was still a female official in the Da Chu palace.The royal family of the Chu and Song Dynasties has a secret medicine passed down from generation to generation. It is supposed to be a chronic poison that can make people die within a year after being poisoned. The symptoms are not obvious at first, and it will only show symptoms similar to rheumatism, making people slow down. , suddenly on a certain day, the poisoned person will die suddenly, with black blood flowing from the seven holes, and he will look like he has been poisoned. Anyone can tell that he has been poisoned to death.It's just that by this time, the person who actually poisoned the person has often fled far away, leaving only the innocent person in front of him to take the blame.

Haitang didn't know where the Song royal family got this secret medicine, and for what purpose it was originally developed, but she had seen the victims of this secret medicine with her own eyes, and she had no idea. The symptoms are impressive.

Just now, Haijiao mentioned that the third prince Hu Ren was now weak, probably because he had been in prison for a long time and the moisture entered his body, causing rheumatism symptoms.She wasn't suspicious at first, but after hearing what Hai Jiao said, she felt that the third prince must have been poisoned by this secret medicine.

Coincidentally, Tao Yue was the emperor's cousin and confidant, and the Zhou family was the natal family of the Empress Dowager Zhou, so it was possible to obtain such a thing.If the third prince of the Hu people was really taken by this medicine, he would be doomed to die soon and would never be able to recover and lead his troops to invade Chu.

Until the end of his life, he will harbor hatred for his cousin, mother and son, always thinking of revenge against them.

And when he suddenly dies of poison next year, it will probably trigger chaos among the Hu people, right?Uncle Wang, a Hu man who has lost his only heir, looks at the death of his son who was obviously poisoned. Who will he bear his hatred for?Anyway, it won't be the Da Chu official who released the person a year ago.

Between the two forces, Uncle Wang and the new Khan, who are about to form a "death feud", who will ultimately win this chaotic victory?

Haitang was a little curious.
