Who Xu Jiangshan

Chapter 36
"You have been by his side all the time, how could he be hurt like this?" Chuning walked to the bed a few steps, saw Xie Ziyu lying on the bed pale, and suddenly remembered that when they were in the desert of death, she thought That was the most difficult time in their lives, and they never expected such a time to happen again.

"The other party used the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, and I followed their lead." When Su Ye thought of this, he wished he could beat himself to death with a hammer.

A killing intent flashed in Chuning's eyes, and after a while, he said, "Prepare hot water for me, I want to take a bath."

"Yes." Su Ye quickly ordered.

After Chuning finished washing, she fell asleep next to Xie Ziyu, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, someone opened the door, and Chu Ning sat up suddenly. It was Wei Linglong who came. She was not surprised when she saw Chu Ning.

Seeing that she was holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, Chu Ning jumped out of bed and said, "I'll do it."

Wei Linglong handed the medicine to Chuning and said, "Don't worry, this is not for Your Highness."

"Who is that for?" Chuning was taken aback.

"Of course it's for you. I know that you have been rushing back from the border without sleep, and your physical strength has reached its limit. You should drink soon, or His Highness will not be taken care of by anyone." Wei Linglong said lightly.

Chu Ning was startled, and without saying anything, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp.

"Where's his?" After finishing drinking, Chuning asked suddenly.

"Your Highness can't drink the medicine, so I can only suck him with the thousand-year-old ginseng soaked in the medicine." Wei Linglong said, took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, took a piece of ginseng from it, and put it into Xie Ziyu's mouth.

"Linglong, tell me, how serious is his injury?" Chu Ning held Wei Linglong's hand with a solemn expression.

Wei Linglong looked directly at her, and said, "None of the sword wounds on Your Highness' body are fatal. The fatal one is the sword wound. A sword pierced into the heart. If it were an ordinary person, he would have died on the spot. I find it inconceivable that His Highness has survived to this day."

What she didn't say was that he was also poisoned. Although the poison would not kill him immediately, it would consume his vitality, day after day, until the lamp ran out of oil and died.

"You mean..." Chuning's face turned pale.

"Ah Ning, no matter what the result is, you must know that life and death are fate." Wei Linglong held Chuning's hand and said softly.

Chu Ning was stunned for a while, then smiled: "He is Xie Ziyu, he will not die."

"You stay with him well, I'll come back tonight." Wei Linglong patted her hand and walked out accompanied by Su Ye.

Chuning lay back on the bed again. She stared at his pale face for a while, then gritted her teeth suddenly, and said fiercely, "Xie Ziyu, if you die, I will remarry immediately."

Yes, remarry without delay!
Chuning slept for another day, and during dinner, Su Ye walked in, with red eyes, it was obvious that she had just cried.

Chuning twitched the corners of his lips: "Your master is not dead yet, why are you crying?"

Su Ye sniffled, and said: "Miss Wei said, it's up to tonight, if the master can't wake up tonight, then, then..."

Chu Ning suddenly jumped off the bed, walked in front of Su Ye, and said, "I have something to do. You take care of your master. You tell him that I have already found a new home. If he dies, I will remarry tomorrow!"

After finishing speaking, Chuning went out like the wind, leaving Su Ye standing there blankly, after a while, Su Ye threw herself in front of Xie Ziyu with a "wow", crying, "Master, did you hear that? You are not dead yet, the concubine is ready to remarry, all women in the world are black, only I treat you best! Master, you must keep your eyes open in the future, and don't be deceived by women!"

In this room, Chuning has changed her attire. She is only wearing a flowing white dress, without any mask on her face. She flits across the roofs like the wind, like a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world.

She went straight to Fengyue Tower. She knew that Xie Zicong went to Fengyue Tower every night in recent days. On the surface, it seemed to hang around the flowers, but in fact he was recruiting talents.

At this moment, Xie Zicong was resting just after meeting a man from the world. Under the guidance of the old bustard, Chuning walked in with a pipa in his arms: "Ninth Prince, this is the new girl Chuchu from Fengyuelou, you are good at melody, Let her play a song for you."

Just as Xie Zicong was about to refuse, his peripheral vision fell on Chuning's face inadvertently, and the rejection he wanted to say was immediately swallowed back. He looked straight at her, and the amazement in his eyes could be seen at a glance.

Seeing this, the old bustard winked at Chuning and went out.

Chu Ning bowed to Xie Zicong: "Little girl Chu Chu, I will play a song for you."

"I didn't expect there to be a beauty like you in Fengyuelou, so I don't need to play. Come and pour me a drink." Xie Zicong said with a smile.

"Yes." Chu Ning lowered her eyes, put down her pipa, and walked towards Xie Zicong. As soon as she reached out to grab the jug, Xie Zicong covered her hand, and only heard him say: "Chu Chu, you have slender hands, so don't do such rough work." gone."

Xie Zicong is so lustful at such a young age, if he becomes the emperor, the harem might expand several times.

Resisting the urge to beat him up, she lowered her head and said shyly, "It's a great honor to be able to pour wine for you."

"Chu Chu is as beautiful as a celestial being, and she should enjoy the glory and wealth, instead of living in prostitution." Xie Zicong looked at Chu Ning with naked desire in his eyes. If Xie Zicong had any weakness in his life, he might be a beauty, but Well, his eyes are higher than the top, and ordinary women can't get into his eyes at all, but today's Chu Chu really touched his heartstrings.He vaguely recalled the portrait he had seen in his father's palace before. In that painting, the woman was so beautiful that she looked like a fairy. When he caught a glimpse of it back then, he no longer looked down on vulgar fans. To find a more beautiful woman than that.

But now, a woman who was three points more beautiful than in the portrait fell from the sky, and he almost thought he was in a deep dream.

"Young master, what do you mean?" Chuning looked at Xie Zicong shyly and timidly, and asked softly.

"My fair lady, a gentleman is so good..." Xie Zicong said, suddenly felt a faint fragrance wafting through his nose, and before he finished speaking, he felt his mind was in chaos.

Chuning raised his hand and punched Xie Zicong, knocking him out completely.

"Master, I have already made arrangements. The Fengyue Building will become an empty building tomorrow morning." The old bustard walked in and whispered in Chuning's ear.

"Well, you can go too, and settle down the people in the building." Chu Ning nodded, looking at Xie Zicong who was lying on the ground, the corners of his lips twitched, Ninth Prince, Ninth Prince, I don't know if after today, you can still Re-enter the flowers?

It wasn't until midnight that Chu Ning returned to Prince Rong's mansion. As soon as she entered the mansion, she felt that the atmosphere in the mansion was abnormal. Her heart tightened, and she walked quickly to Xie Ziyu's room. Before she entered, she heard Su Ye tearing her heart cry.

Chu Ning's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and her hands and feet became cold and stiff at this moment. She wanted to lift her feet, but found that she didn't dare to take a step forward.

She stood outside the door for a long time, feeling as if time had stood still, but she still had to face the reality after all, she walked in slowly, raised her eyes, but was stunned.

Who is that person sitting on the bed and drinking medicine but Xie Ziyu?
"The king is not dead, why are you crying?" Xie Ziyu asked, looking at Chu Ning, who was staring blankly.

Su Ye sobbed, "I'm so happy! I'm crying with joy!"

Fuck your tears of joy!

Chu Ning stepped forward and kicked Su Ye away with one kick. The guy was crying so much that she thought Xie Ziyu was dead!It should be played!
Xie Ziyu's face was still pale and weak, but he was no longer as lifeless as lying on the bed. He raised his eyes and looked at Chuning, with a smile on his lips: "I heard Madam wants to remarry?"

"I'm afraid there is no chance now." Chuning spread his hands, showing regret.

Xie Ziyu smiled, and suddenly coughed twice, Chuning hurriedly stepped forward and held his hand: "Are you okay?"

"Your Highness has just woken up, and his vitality has not yet recovered, so he needs a good rest." Wei Linglong said from the side.

"Then you lie down and rest quickly." Chuning said while carefully supporting Xie Ziyu and letting him lie back on the bed.

"Since His Highness is fine, I'll go back." Seeing the unconcealable joy in Chu Ning's eyebrows, Wei Linglong felt happy too.

"Linglong, thank you." Chu Ning suddenly stopped Wei Linglong and thanked him sincerely.

Wei Linglong turned her head and smiled: "Why do you need to thank me?"

After speaking, she walked out.

Chuning closed the door, walked back to the bed, saw Xie Ziyu staring at her intently, and said after a while, "Come up."

Chuning took off her coat and lay down next to Xie Ziyu. She leaned close to his body and carefully put her hands on his waist, feeling his warmth.

"Scared?" Xie Ziyu asked suddenly, with a hoarse voice.

Chuning shook his head: "No."

"lie."

Chu Ning raised his head slightly, looked at Xie Ziyu, and suddenly smiled: "Your Highness's life is so hard, how can it be so easy to die?"

"But you're still scared." Xie Ziyu's eyes flashed with pity, and he held her hand and clasped her fingers tightly, "A Ning, you have to know that life and death are destiny, even I may not be able to survive it." come over."

Chu Ning looked at him, and it took a long time before he said, "I know." After a pause, he added, "So if you die, I won't keep the festival for you."

"That would be the best." Xie Ziyu twitched the corners of his lips and said with a smile.

Chuning pursed her lips and said nothing.

In the early morning of the second day, the entire imperial capital was boiling. Su Ye was so excited that he ran all the way back to the mansion, went straight to Xie Ziyu's room, and slammed the door, "Master! Something big happened!"

"What's the matter?"

With a creak, the door was opened. Su Ye glanced at Chu Ning, ran straight into the room, ran to the bed, and said excitedly, "The Ninth Prince was cut off from his children and grandchildren's bag, and hung it at the gate of the city for public display!"

Xie Ziyu was taken aback, seeing that Chuning was about to go out, his eyes narrowed: "A'Ning, come back."

Su Ye didn't understand, so he continued to be excited, "Master, now everyone in the imperial capital knows that the Ninth Prince has become a useless person, I'm afraid the emperor will faint when he knows."

"Understood, you go down."

"Ah..." Su Ye's enthusiasm was splashed with cold water. He still expected the master to be happy, but he didn't expect the master to be so calm.

After Su Ye went down, Chuning walked back to Xie Ziyu, only to see a trace of understanding in his deep eyes: "You did it?"

Chuning just smiled and said nothing.

That's right, she did it!Since the emperor and Xie Zicong wanted to put Xie Ziyu to death, she might as well give them a hard time, didn't she want the throne?I don't know how the Ninth Prince, who has lost his son's bag, wants the throne?
"Ah Ning, you are too risky." Xie Ziyu said with a sigh.

Chuning didn't answer, but only said: "The court is going to be in chaos, can you hold it steady?"

"What do you think?" Xie Ziyu smiled faintly, as if he had a plan in mind.

"The Nine Princes Party must be shaken now, but Xie Lingran may not let it go." Chu Ning thought carefully and analyzed.

"Yes."

Chuning looked up at him, with a touch of solemnity on his calm face: "I want to stay by your side."

Next, he must be in danger in the imperial capital. She didn't want him to be in danger, but she was thousands of miles away. Just like this time, she traveled day and night, not daring to delay a moment, but she was still afraid that she was still on the way, and he was already on the way. Let go.

"No." Xie Ziyu refused almost without thinking, paused, and said, "A-Ning, you need military achievements."

Seeing that Chuning didn't speak, Xie Ziyu said again: "I need your support in the future."

After hearing this, Chuning said, "I'm leaving tonight."

Xie Ziyu nodded, held her hand, and said with a smile, "A-Ning, you have to trust me, this time it was just an accident."

"Ah."

Chuning quickly left the imperial capital. On the way, she received news that Ye Qingyan had begun to attack Huacheng, the second city occupied by Xiling, but Huacheng was obviously much more tightly defended than Qinzhou. Ye Qingyan was in a stalemate with the enemy It took several days before they found a breakthrough. I heard that the battle was fierce and Xiling suffered heavy losses. The city gates were closed and they were about to retreat.

"Is there any other news?" Chuning turned to look at Mu Jian who was traveling with her, and asked.

Mu Jian thought for a while, and said: "According to my previous detection, Xiling's troops in Huacheng should not be defeated."

Chuning pondered for a moment, then suddenly his face changed: "It's too bad!"

The whip in his hand was raised suddenly, and the horse under his seat shot out like an arrow.

It was already three days after Chuning arrived in Hwaseong, at that time there were only soldiers left behind in the barracks.

Captain Zhang, who was staying behind, saw Chu Ning galloping into the barracks, and hurriedly greeted him: "Vice General Ning, you are back! The general said that you are out to perform military duties, but what is the matter?"

Chu Ning was taken aback, she left a note telling Ye Qingyan that she was going out, but she didn't say anything, he could have punished her, but unexpectedly helped her hide it.

"We'll talk about this later, what about the general?"

"The general led his army to break open the gate of Hwaseong. He said he would take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, and let the Xiling dog thief escape with his tail between his legs!"

"The terrain of Huacheng is concave in the middle and high on all sides, which is suitable for leading you into the urn and attacking from both sides." Mu Jian whispered in Chuning's ear.

"How long has the general been gone?" Chuning asked abruptly.

Captain Zhang didn't know why, but he replied honestly, "It's been a day."

"Lieutenant Zhang, how many soldiers and horses do we have left?" Chuning asked calmly.

"Stay in Qizhou with [-], the general led [-], and there are [-] left."

"Keep four thousand, and follow me for the rest!" Chuning ordered.

"Lieutenant General, why is this?" Captain Zhang was a little puzzled.

"The general hasn't returned for so long, I'm afraid he has been ambushed!"

Zhang Xiaowei's face immediately changed when he heard it, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly beat drums to gather all the soldiers.

The soldiers assembled quickly and were ready to go. Chu Ning looked back at Mu Jian and said, "Mu Jian, help me go to Qizhou and transfer [-] troops."

Seeing Chuning's solemn expression, Mu Jian nodded and turned his horse around.

"All officers and soldiers listen to the order! Now the general is in prison and we need to go to support him immediately, and everything will be at my disposal! The general must be rescued!" Chuning said loudly.

"Yes!" All the soldiers answered in unison.

Chuning stopped in front of the city gate, and with a slight lift of her hand, the soldiers following her stopped.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, the city was filled with corpses, it was horrible, but it was extremely quiet, it didn't look like anyone was fighting at all, this Huacheng looked like a dead city.

"Lieutenant General, do you want to go in?" Xiaowei Zhang who was following behind asked.

"Give me a pair of bows and arrows." Chuning did not answer, but only ordered.

Captain Zhang quickly asked someone to bring up a pair of bows and arrows. Chuning took the bows and arrows, staring at a broken lantern on the city gate with a pair of clear eyes.

She ignited the arrow, and when the arrow shot past, the lantern caught fire and fell down with a bang. A few shadows flashed by and extinguished the fire in an instant.

"It turns out that the soldiers in Xiling are just a group of rats who dare not see people." Chuning sneered.

"Master Ning's words are wrong. On the battlefield, you pay attention to tactics." A familiar voice suddenly rang out from the tower, and a man in military uniform walked forward slowly. He looked down at her with a meaningful expression. , "Your General Ye didn't understand tactics, so he was caught off guard by our army!"

When the soldiers behind Chu Ning heard this, their faces changed immediately, and Captain Zhang couldn't help shouting: "Where is our General Ye?"

Chuning didn't speak, but looked up at Mu Lianzhi, his eyes were deep and ever-changing.

"Mu Wang is so confident, I wonder if it's a good thing?" After a while, she twitched the corners of her lips and asked coolly.

"Could it be that the two thousand soldiers brought by Master Ning are able to turn the tide?" Mu Lianzhi smiled, took a step back, and waved his hand, and a row of archers set up bows and arrows on the city wall, facing Chuning and the soldiers behind her.

Chu Ning looked at him with mixed emotions in his heart, and finally reached this moment, they used to get along day and night, but now they meet each other in battle.

She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no emotion in her eyes. She lifted her lips and asked, "Why doesn't King Mu look behind you?"

Behind the high city wall, the sky was full of flames, and the sound of bang bang bang kept ringing out. It was the Xiling soldiers who were ambushing on a high place, and they all fell from the ambush at this time.

Mu Lianzhi's complexion changed slightly, and his expression was unpredictable. He waved his hand, and the archers on the tower retreated one after another.
