Aijia Kefu: Your Majesty, please avoid

Chapter 146

Cheng Yu was scolded as a "nerd" for half his life, and today he finally met someone who was even more stupid than himself, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Su Qingjia has gone far beyond the level of "idiot", and is about to reach the level of "fool".

Hearing that Aunt Nian said that she could save Su Qingyuan, he had no second words, only saying "anything is fine".

As a result of "anything goes", Aunt Nian decided to tie him up and let him be bled.

It is said that it is the kind of witchcraft that will be performed later, which can bring the dead back to life.

Aunt Nian said that if the person who provided the blood is willing and has a strong desire for the resurrection of the dead, the chance of success will be greatly increased.

Cheng Yu thought about it carefully, and remembered that there were many similar plots in the book that he accompanied Su Qingyuan to listen to in the early years.

This kind of witchcraft has some skills, but the standard of "success" is not easy to define, because in the legends and stories, the probability of attracting evil spirits is much higher than the probability of recalling the dead body.

Not to mention that there are still many examples of being refined into demons, becoming neither human nor ghost, and suffering unspeakably...

The more Cheng Yu thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he decided to leave.

Su Qingyuan's body must of course be taken away.As for Su Qingjia - that person is too stupid, no one can save him.

So Cheng Yu quietly slipped out through the crack of the door while Aunt Nian was concentrating on preparing Su Qingjia.

Of course, he was able to slip so smoothly not because of his great skills, but because Aunt Nian had considerable confidence in her witchcraft.

There has been a restriction on the gate, and it is not so easy for ordinary people to go out.

Cheng Yu rushed into the main room quickly, and immediately saw Su Qingyuan who was fastened to the coffin by black chains and wearing mourning clothes.

"Yuan'er..." Cheng Yu's heart suddenly tightened.

He still couldn't believe that Su Qingyuan was dead, but the fact was before his eyes - her breathing and heartbeat had stopped two days ago.

Cheng Yu regained his composure, pushed aside the chain with all his strength, and leaned over to hug Su Qingyuan: "Yuan'er, we can't stay here! I always feel that Aunt Su has no good intentions for you, so..."

His voice suddenly stopped.

"Yuan'er?!" Cheng Yu put Su Qingyuan down and stared at her dumbfounded.

Su Qingyuan blinked her eyes, sat firmly on the coffin lid, and said hoarsely, "How many days?"

Cheng Yu stayed there for a long time, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Two days... Yuan'er, two days! Do you...do, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

"Yes," Su Qingyuan said blankly, "My child hasn't been found yet, so why am I willing to die?"

"I will do everything possible to help you find him!" Cheng Yu hurriedly stated.

Su Qingyuan gave a "sneak" smile.

Cheng Yu was stunned again.

Su Qingyuan stretched out her hand and waved in front of his eyes: "Hello!"

"You..." Cheng Yu's heart was in a mess, and he didn't know where to start asking.

Su Qingyuan frowned and looked in the direction of the thatched shed, and said in a low voice: "Now is not the time to talk, let's make a long story short - I didn't die, I just used a little secret method, similar to the turtle's breath technique. Now I There is no way to get out from here, you must immediately find a rescuer for me! I have already confirmed that my child is in the hands of Aunt Nian, so this time I must catch her, and I cannot afford to miss it!"

Hearing the business, Cheng Yu immediately calmed down.

However, Su Qingyuan didn't agree with Su Qingyuan's idea: "You can't stay here, it's too dangerous! You don't know, Aunt Su has captured the second elder brother and is bleeding his blood. What kind of magic technique does she want to use to bring you back to life?" ..."

After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Su Qingyuan immediately reached out and grabbed his wrist: "Did she drain your blood too?"

"I kicked it over. I always feel that such a technique may not be good for you..." Cheng Yu hurriedly explained.

Su Qingyuan immediately pulled a veil to cover his wound, and then took off the silver bracelet on her wrist and put it on him: "Your choice is right. Listen to me now, you must go! The door There is a restriction, this bracelet can only take one person out. I will be fine if I stay here for the time being, you will save me if you go and return soon!"

"But you..." Cheng Yu hesitated to speak.

Su Qingyuan pushed him hard: "Go away! Have you forgotten that I am also a witch? My witchcraft talent is much better than Aunt Nian. I won't die if I drink the poison. What are you worried about?" ?”

Hearing that what she said was reasonable, Cheng Yu couldn't refute for a while, so he gritted his teeth, turned around, and rushed outside.

Su Qingyuan slowly lay back on the coffin lid, pulled back the two black chains again, and pressed them on her body.

She is confident that she won't suffer too much this time, but she pity the second brother, who will suffer a lot of flesh and blood.

Su Qingyuan didn't quite understand why the second brother appeared here.If this place is still near Bozhou City, doesn't it mean that the armored army is coming?
What is the current situation, Su Qingyuan has no way of knowing.

She can't control the things of marching and fighting.There are only two people she cares about most: one is Lu Li and the other is the child.

For Lu Li, she has done everything she can.

She knew a little about the "bead-embellished grass" in the witchcraft books she read a few months ago, and knew that it was a medicinal herb of the witch clan.Therefore, upon hearing the name of this medicine, she knew that the poisoning had something to do with Aunt Nian.

She may be helpless in the face of the poison next to her, but she doesn't have to be afraid of the things of the Wu clan.

In the past few months, she gradually discovered some wonderful things about that silver bracelet, many of which even Aunt Nian didn't know about.

For example, detoxification, unraveling spells, and fighting those heresy witchcraft.

That day Su Qingyuan wanted to help Lu Li get rid of the poison directly, but she was afraid that it would stimulate the properties of another poison, so she could only pretend that she didn't understand anything, and put Lu Li's life in the hands of the imperial doctors.

As for herself—

Su Qingyuan could have used witchcraft to make the poison invisible, but she didn't do that.

Anyway, he won't die, at most he will be in a coma for a few days.

Apart from helping Lu Li test the poison, there was another more important reason for making that choice.

Only by returning to Aunt Nian would she have a chance to know the whereabouts of the child—it would be better to come back as a dead person.

Facts have proved that her choice was correct.

During the period when she was "dead", Aunt Nian was defenseless against her, so she dared to say many things in person.

For example, his hatred and inexplicable affection for Emperor Zhao, for example, her disappointment and nostalgia for Su Yi, for example, her hope and anger for Su Qingyuan, for example—that child is indeed still alive.

From Aunt Nian's nagging, Su Qingyuan got a piece of news that was enough to make her ecstatic: the child has been sent to a place where "the sun and the moon shine together, and gods and demons coexist".

Could there be more exciting news than this?
Su Qingyuan really wanted to calm herself down, but thinking of the child she had never met before, and thinking that she might be able to reunite with the child one day in the future, she wished she could jump up and do somersaults on the spot!

When it was completely dark, Aunt Nian came.

Su Qingyuan immediately held her breath and began to play dead.

All I could hear was Aunt Nian's footsteps, "tat-tat-tat-tat" on the ground.

Su Qingyuan guessed that every inch of the ground in this room should have left her footprints.

As for what Aunt Nian wanted to do, Su Qingyuan couldn't guess.

All she knew was that the smell of blood gradually permeated the room, irritating her nose itching and making her very uncomfortable.

Aunt Nian began to mutter something eloquently again, but this time she was not talking about some old things, but rather like reciting some ancient spell.

In addition to the smell of blood, the room also added the smell of spices, and the special damp smell produced by rotting vegetation.

The light and shadow in front of my eyes shook faster and faster, I don't know what kind of messy trick it is.

Su Qingyuan gradually became annoyed, and simply stopped caring about Aunt Nian's behavior, and focused on raising her spirits on her own.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Nian refused to let her go. After fiddling around in the room for a while, she came to the coffin and unceremoniously untied Su Qingyuan's clothes.

When Su Qingyuan was touched by her cold fingertips, she immediately shivered.

Aunt Nian was startled, the bowl in her hand shook violently and almost spilled.

Su Qingyuan knew that she couldn't put it on any longer, so she simply pushed the iron chain and sat up: "Hey, what is the red thing in this bowl? Mommy, are you going to feed me like a vampire bat?"

"You...you're pretending to be dead?" Aunt Nian's face darkened.

Su Qingyuan rolled her eyes at her: "Who says I'm pretending to be dead? Can't I sleep deeply?"

Aunt Nian looked at her coldly, her face was very ugly.

Su Qingyuan finished her clothes, and then frowned: "What are you wearing for me? Mourning clothes? Who died?"

"You." Aunt Nian said coldly.

Su Qingyuan looked at her with a dazed expression.

The two confronted each other for a long time, when Aunt Nian suddenly put down the bowl, rushed over and hugged Su Qingyuan: "You heartless girl... you scared my mother to death, do you know that!"

Su Qingyuan jumped down from the coffin, looked back at this ghostly place where she had been lying all day, felt a little trembling in her heart, and pulled the corners of her lips reluctantly: "The coffin shop in this poor place is really good, I'm After dying for a day, they built the coffin? Yo, this wood is quite strong!"

"Yuan'er, it's good that you're fine.—Would you like something to eat?" Aunt Nian was very kind with a smile on her face.

Su Qingyuan frowned, looked at the bowl in her hand: "Aren't you going to let me drink this?"

"How can it be?" Aunt Nian hurriedly put the bowl on the table behind her.

But Su Qingyuan had already seen it.

It was a bowl of human blood, the inside was sticky, I don't know if some herbs were added or something else.

In short, Su Qingyuan is very convinced that the Wu Clan will never have such a technique of "returning the dead" to life.

It is possible to cultivate puppets, but...

Even in the Wu Clan, things related to puppets are forbidden arts!
Su Qingyuan calmed down, pretended to be dazed, and after a while she forced a smile and said: "You are getting more and more desolate, why is the house darker this time than last time? This kind of place can cook What delicious food come out? I think I might just go to the street and beg!"

Aunt Nian knocked on her forehead casually, and said with a smile, "You have always been particular about the word 'eat'! I'll cook for you, and you stay here obediently!"

Su Qingyuan happily agreed.Seeing Aunt Nian walk out, her face immediately darkened.

If her understanding is correct, Aunt Nian wanted to preserve her "corpse", and even used secret techniques to drive it away for her own use.

Such intentions really make people have to be afraid!
After standing at the door for a long time, Su Qingyuan followed her intuition and slowly walked towards the thatched shed she noticed earlier.

***
After a night's rest, all the soldiers have recovered their spirits, but the mess on the mountain has not had time to clean up.

After a day and night of fierce fighting, the traces left behind are shocking: blackened rocks and ashes stretching over several hills, dead bodies lying on rocks or hanging on bushes, only wooden poles and curly blades left A big knife rolled into an iron pipe...

The smell of blood and scorching filled the sky, and countless vultures gathered from afar, circling in mid-air, making anxious cries.

This is the battlefield, a true portrayal of "one general succeeds and ten thousand bones die".

Using his sword as a stick, Lu Li walked out of the tent slowly, looking at the flickering fire on the hillside in the distance.

Ning Yuan walked to his side, cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, the emperor, the fire has been stabilized and has not affected the people in the village below the mountain."

"In the future, don't you need to fight anymore?" Lu Li lowered his head and muttered to himself.

Ning Yuan smiled and said, "There's no need to fight! The old thief and his soldiers have already surrendered, and that kid in Xiliang also ran away with his tail between his legs! At least for a hundred years, there will be no more major wars in South Vietnam!"

Lu Li seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he looked up and saw the vultures circling in mid-air, he had mixed feelings.

Xiao Luzi chased after him with a medicine bowl, and said in a rambling voice: "You dare to go to the battlefield in person just after waking up from poisoning, you don't know how frightened the imperial doctors are! If it weren't for being too tired yesterday, how could you be so weak today? look..."

Lu Li took the medicine bowl and drank it down, frowning: "What are you talking about so much? Is it because I'm going to die?"

Xiao Luzi hastily turned to the side twice, and said with a wry smile: "The imperial physicians almost risked their lives, how can they not cure you? Imperial physician Yu said that the remaining poison has cleared up, and only needs to be treated for a few more days." It'll be fine."

"It's fine if I can't die. I can't bear to... Qiaoer, I can't let her be a widow." Lu Li smiled.

Xiaoluzi hurriedly lowered his head, biting the corner of his lips desperately.

Lu Li sensed something was wrong with him, and his heart skipped a beat: "Xiao Luzi, what about her?"

"The servant has already returned to the emperor before, and the empress... has gone back to the city." Xiaoluzi bit the bullet and said carefully.

Lu Li stared at him closely, and asked in a deep voice, "When did you go back? How did you go back? Did you persuade her to go back, or did she want to go back by herself? Who escorted her back to the city?"

Xiaoluzi's legs became weak from this series of questions, he stood trembling for a while, and finally knelt down with a "boom": "My Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, she has..."

"How is it going?" Lu Li's eyes darkened, and he quickly reached out to support Ning Yuan's shoulders, and stood still.

Xiao Luzi faltered and dared not speak, Ning Yuan had no choice but to explain for him: "I heard that the Empress Dowager... Ling girl has... gone to immortality in order to test the emperor's poison!"

"Impossible!" Lu Li angrily grabbed Ning Yuan's neck, but found that the other party was wearing hard armor, so he couldn't do anything.

As a result, this depression could not be vented, and it made his chest tight for a while, and the fishy smell rose up in his throat immediately.

Xiao Luzi hurriedly got up to support him, and cried: "At that time, the emperor was in danger, and the empress was trying to verify the imperial physician's conjecture, so she drank the milk wine to induce the poison... Your majesty, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise, how can you be sorry for the empress! "

Lu Li closed his eyes and tried to stand still with his long sword in his hands. He remained silent for a while, like a wooden sculpture.

"Stupid thing, don't hesitate to call Imperial Physician Yu!" Xiao Luzi yelled at the soldiers next to him.

Imperial Physician Yu came soon, seeing Lu Li like this, he didn't know what to do.

Hearing the movement, Lu Li slowly opened his eyes and looked at him, "Tell me the truth, what is going on with her... Is she still trying to get angry with me, and you and her teamed up to make up lies to deceive me? After a while, where did she go?"

Imperial Physician Yu knelt down and said sadly: "Once the poison of the Zhuzhucao is activated, there is no time to rescue you. Your Majesty, you are safe and sound in the end because the poison of the Maixian Weng restrained the medicinal properties of the Zhuzhucao, but the empress did not Lucky. So... Cheng Shizi has already escorted the empress back to the city."

"It's too late to rescue him?" Lu Li's face was ashen.

Imperial Physician Yu bowed his head for a long time, and then explained: "Your Majesty seems to have taken Zhuzhucao for a long time, and the degree of poisoning is not the same as that of the Emperor. So once stimulated, the toxicity will be extremely severe..."

"Long-term use? - Bailiangju!" Lu Li immediately raised his head with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Your majesty, you have to take care of your dragon body..." Xiao Luzi hurriedly urged.

Lu Li sternly shouted: "Gather the rest of the soldiers to hunt down Baili Angju, life or death!"

"Your Majesty, there are at least tens of thousands of people around Baili Angju..." Ning Yuan was a little worried.

Lu Li clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and said, "Decree to the soldiers and civilians along the way, whoever catches the Baili Angju will be enshrined as a Marquis immediately! Those who kill or capture Xiliang soldiers will be rewarded according to their discretion! If anyone knows about it and doesn't report it, let the Xiliang thieves leave safely Yes, the family officials are not slaves! I don’t want to see any Xiliang people leave Nanyue alive, you should do it immediately, there must be no mistakes!”

Seeing that he spoke so harshly, Ning Yuan knew he couldn't persuade him, so he had to accept his orders and leave.

Lu Li breathed out the breath he was carrying, and his whole body collapsed immediately.He had no choice but to hold on to the flagpole and stand firm, and said in a shy voice, "The old thief Su Yi can't get away with this matter, can he?"

Xiao Luzi didn't dare not answer, so he had to say cautiously: "I don't dare to speculate, but... since they are working together, there must be some connections."

Lu Li stood there in a daze for a long time before saying, "Come back to the city with me."

Xiao Luzi had no choice but to agree, and Imperial Physician Yu followed behind, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the poison of the Maixian Weng may be mixed in your diet, but I have checked the eating utensils in the hotel, and there is no trace of it. Found something strange. This matter is so important that I dare not report it."

Lu Li was in a daze, and didn't take his words to heart.

Xiaoluzi had a little guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it at this time.

Xiao Luzi could no longer imagine the disturbances that might arise after returning to the city.

Lu Li refused to let Xiao Luzi help him, and leaned on his long sword as he walked forward with difficulty, feeling his feet getting softer and weaker.

He thought that all the hardships had come to an end, he thought that all the previous twists and turns had become a thing of the past—fate happened to send him back to the dark hell just when he had just seen the dawn!
died?

How could she be dead?

Su Qingyuan's voice and smile kept appearing in front of Lu Li's eyes: innocent, eccentric, clever, stubborn...

Thinking of the eternal separation between heaven and man, and the failure of all those beautiful plans for the future, Lu Li was in so much pain that he couldn't hold it back.Those sorrows and joys of the past pricked the softness in his heart like a sharp knife.

Lu Li wanted to pretend he didn't care, but in the end he staggered and fell in front of the military tent.

The soldiers and imperial physicians in front of the tent immediately became a mess.

Cheng Yu appeared at this time.

When Xiao Luzi saw him, his face turned pale with fright: "Young Master Cheng, why did you come back at such a time! The emperor...he doesn't want to see you, so you should hide for a while!"

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, his expression a little ugly: "He can't see me! Yuan'er is in danger now, and is waiting for someone to save her..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Li opened his eyes: "What do you mean 'very dangerous'? Where is she? Didn't you send her back to the city!"

Cheng Yu collected himself, and explained Su Qingyuan's current situation concisely.

Lu Li immediately jumped up: "You mean, she's still alive?!"

Cheng Yu nodded heavily.

"Thank God..." Xiao Luzi fell to his knees and wiped away his tears.

Several imperial physicians looked at each other, each frowning more awkwardly than a twist.

Imperial Physician Yu frowned and said, "Impossible! The poison of the pearl grass..."

Lu Li didn't care about "possible" or "possible".He immediately grabbed Cheng Yu's hand and said anxiously: "Take me to find her! Immediately!!"

Xiaoluzi said worriedly: "But our soldiers are about to set off to capture the Sixth Prince of Xiliang, and the remaining Black Banner soldiers have to guard the prisoners and clean the battlefield..."

A general suggested: "Should I ask Beiyan's soldiers to help?"

Lu Li was about to agree immediately, but then he gritted his teeth and held back, shaking his head with difficulty: "Beiyan came thousands of miles to help, that's because of their kindness to us; they are exhausted now, we have no reason to save people Go and disturb. ——Let Ning Yuan give up on Xiliang for the time being, it is more important to save Ah Yuan first!"

Cheng Yu finally let out a long breath of relief when he heard the last sentence.

He was really afraid that Lu Li would take Jiangshan too seriously, so he chose to ask Su Qingyuan to "wait".

If that's the case, Cheng Yu feels that there are really not many things he can trust in the future.

Ning Yuan was quickly invited back, but after hearing Lu Li's order, he seemed a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, please think twice. It is the duty of soldiers to kill enemies for the country, but saving people is..."

"You want to resist the order?" Lu Li's face darkened.

Ning Yuan hurriedly said: "I don't dare. It's just that Baili Angju holds our map of the universe in his hand. If he is allowed to escape back to Xiliang, we may have trouble sleeping and eating in the future!"
