Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 340 Power, Mu Nuanqing's fate

The season has entered deep winter, and the counter-insurgency war that has been fought for nearly a year has come to an end.

It took a day and a night to break through the last camp of the rebels, the battlefield was full of cheers, and even the seriously injured people who fell to the ground couldn't help shouting excitedly.

The war was finally over, the army returned to court, and the soldiers still had time to go home for the New Year.

Qi Changjin, Qiao Shuyan and a group of generals gathered in the enemy's commander's camp. Compared with the joy of the soldiers outside, their expressions did not appear to be joyful.

Although the enemy camp was breached, Li Cangze and his confidants were nowhere to be seen.

The commander's tent was in a mess. Li Cangze obviously retreated in a hurry. He had reached the end of the road. Li Cangze seemed to be thinking of turning around. He didn't want to escape until the last moment when the camp was breached.

Qiao Shuyan said: "I have already sent several teams to search for Li Cangze's whereabouts, but Li Cangze must have arranged an escape route long ago, so it may not be possible to find him."

A general said: "If Li Cangze's head is not taken back, the suppression of the rebellion will not be regarded as a complete victory. After returning, the emperor may be displeased."

"There's no way around it," said another person, "Li Cangze is very cunning, if he was that easy to deal with, the emperor wouldn't give him a chance to rebel."

"That's right," said a bearded general, "It's not easy for us to defeat the brave rebels with a group of soft-legged shrimps. The emperor can still blame us!"

Several other people nodded in agreement. The garrison in Gyeonggi has been without blood all year round, and their legs will become weak when they go to the battlefield. The rebels are all drinking blood in the northern border, and one person can resist several of them.

In this case, it can be said that they can win, which can be said to be a miracle.Because of this, they admired the young general Qi Changjin and the warlord Qiao Shuyan very much.Especially Qi Changjin, who has saved lives for several of them.

Only a fair-faced Confucian general looked unhappy. The Qi family already had a great influence in the western border, and now Qi Changjin has subdued the hearts of the soldiers in the capital. This is not what the emperor wants to see.

A young general ran in excitedly and reported: "General, Overseer, we found a box left by the rebels on the road, which is full of gold!"

Qi Changjin said: "Bring it in!"

The young general waved his hand to the outside, and several soldiers came in carrying two large boxes. When the lid was opened, gold ingots were densely stacked inside, emitting a golden light.

"Good guy! So much gold, at least tens of thousands of taels!" A group of generals had their eyes glowing.

Qiao Shuyan laughed and said, "Li Cangze threw away two boxes of gold when he ran away. It seems that he ran in a very embarrassing situation."

Imagining the scene of Li Cangze running away and having to reluctantly leave behind the gold, the generals who were regretful and depressed just now burst out laughing.

Qi Changjin said: "Everyone divides one box, and one box is carried out to reward the three armies!"

All the generals were immediately in high spirits, and their mouths were from ear to ear: "Thank you, General!"

Qiao Shuyan glanced at Qi Changjin in surprise. He thought that Changjin would bring the gold back to the capital and present it to the emperor. It is a big taboo for the commander to reward the soldiers privately!
Looking back on Chang Jin's performance all the time, Qiao Shuyan had some vague suspicions in his heart, but he was not sure, or he didn't want to believe it. Chang Jin never valued power, so how could he have the idea of ​​supporting himself?
"General! This is probably inappropriate!" the fair-faced Confucian general said angrily, "This is the money of the imperial court, and it should be handed over to the emperor! How can you divide it without permission! No!"

Qi Changjin's response was to draw out his sword and cut his throat with a sword.

Confucian General's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that Qi Changjin dared to kill him.There was a ho-hoo sound from his throat, and he fell to the ground with a dead eye.

There was silence in the tent, and a needle could be heard falling.

Qi Changjin put the sword back into the scabbard, and said: "General Wu is the emperor's eyeliner, and has been quietly passing the news of the general to the emperor. If he is allowed to go back alive, not only will everyone not get the gold, but I am afraid they will suffer. .”

There was a commotion among the generals, they had been fighting outside for a year, if they did not do anything that made the emperor taboo, that would be impossible, since the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, they naturally became bolder.

Thinking that what he had done might have been passed on to the emperor by General Wu, the generals became a little anxious, wishing to kick his corpse a few times.

"Don't worry, everyone," Qi Changjin said, "Since I know he is the emperor's eyeliner, I can't let him pass the real news back. It's just that I can't let him go back alive. I haven't touched him before, I just don't want to let him The emperor is suspicious."

All the generals breathed a sigh of relief, and said one after another: "The general is wise!"

"Okay, let's share all the gold. I will also give you my share." Qi Changjin said.

The generals thanked him happily. The generals naturally don't need this little money, but they do. They stay in the capital all year round, so they don't have much money to earn.

The generals gathered together to share the money, and the feeling of unreliability in their hearts disappeared. The general killed the emperor's eyeliner. They took the emperor's money, and they each knew each other's secrets. This is the way to get along in the officialdom for a long time. .

When a general handed over the divided gold to Qiao Shuyan, Qiao Shuyan hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it.He is a smart person, and he must be worried if he doesn't accept others, but his expression is not very good.

Qi Changjin glanced at him, and said: "I heard that Princess Yuhua still lives in Qiao's Mansion, maybe when you return to Beijing, the emperor's imperial decree of marriage will be delivered to you."

Qiao Shuyan looked up at him: "What do you want to say?"

Qi Changjin said: "If you don't want to be manipulated arbitrarily by the emperor, you should hold on to everything you have now and let him throw the mouse at you."

Qiao Shuyan's eyebrows twitched violently.

It has to be said that Qi Changjin's words touched his heart very much.He doesn't like officialdom, he just wants to live a life as he pleases, but if he wants to live a wanton life, he can't do without the word "power". This is like an endless loop.

And how he would choose in his heart, in fact, coming to fight against the rebellion has already explained everything.

Qiao Shuyan said in a low voice: "The Qi family has already controlled [-]% to [-]% of Yan's military strength. If you hold the military power in the capital, the emperor will never tolerate you! The civil and military courts will not tolerate you!"

"So I won't take them, they all belong to you." Qi Changjin said.

Qiao Shuyan felt that he couldn't see through this brother. He took so much effort to win over the soldiers, so he just gave it to him for nothing?
Qi Changjin sneered: "What do I want so much military power for? I only want the same as you."

Qiao Shuyan was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had been thinking about it all along. Maybe it was because of some change in his heart that he speculated about Qi Changjin like this.

Qiao Shuyan glanced at the beaming generals, and gradually felt excited in his heart.One of him and Chang Jin controls the capital, the other orders the western border, and they watch and help each other. Who can control them casually? !
At this time, another person came to report: "Report to the general, there is a woman among the prisoners who claims to be the general's cousin, clamoring to see the general."

Qi Changjin thought that Li Cangze had taken Mu Nuanqing away again in his escape this time, and thought that he had a deep affection for Mu Nuanqing, but he didn't expect to leave her behind.

"Bring her here." Qi Changjin said.

A moment later, a skinny, skeleton-like woman was brought over.I don't know if she didn't even have the strength to stand up, or she was afraid, but as soon as the soldiers let her go, she slid and sat on the ground.

Everyone in the tent was taken aback. This woman's appearance was too terrifying. Even a refugee from a disaster looked better than her skeleton.

"Mu Nuanqing?" Qi Changjin was a little uncertain about the identity of this woman.

The woman trembled, raised her frighteningly big eyes because of her thinness, and stared at Qi Changjin for a while, as if she finally recognized who he was, she shouted ecstatically, "Cousin! Are you Came to save me? Cousin, take me back to the capital, Li Cangze is a beast! I will never follow him again!"

Qi Changjin frowned and looked at her crazy look, and said, "How did you become like this? What did Li Cangze do to you?"

"He drew my blood!" Mu Nuanqing seemed to be thinking of something extremely terrifying, trembling all over as if she would fall apart at any moment, "That bastard, he thought that Mu Nuanyan's blood was an elixir, and my blood would also be an elixir He draws my blood every day to drink for those injured, I am in so much pain! No matter how much I beg him, he will never let me go!"

"What did you say?!" Qi Changjin's complexion changed suddenly, "Nuan Yan's blood is a panacea?!"

"Yes!" Mu Nuanqing showed a distorted smile on her face, "Mu Nuanyan's blood is delicious. Li Cangze locked him in the dungeon for five years and raised him like an animal. Made with Nuanyan's blood, I can drink the tonic soup made with her blood every few days."

Not to mention that Qi Changjin's expression became extremely ugly and terrifying, and everyone else in the camp stared wide-eyed in horror. Li Cangze, who looks gentle and elegant, is actually so mad!

Qi Changjin's hands and feet were trembling, and when everyone thought Nuan Yan was dead, she was locked in a dungeon and suffered hellish torture!He was clearly in the capital, and he was so close to her, yet he didn't go to save her!

He couldn't imagine how desperate Nuan Yan was at that time, and couldn't believe how she survived that dark time!

Mu Nuanqing cursed in spite of life and death: "It's all that bitch Mu Nuanyan! It's because of drinking her blood that my blood has a little effect! She won't let me go even if she dies, let me Suffer the same torture as her! That bitch, I will seek revenge on her even after I die!"

Qi Changjin kicked Mu Nuanqing into the wall, and then bounced to the ground, spurting a mouthful of blood.

He resisted the thought of putting her to death, and ordered: "Lock her up! I want to bring her back to the capital for a blood sacrifice!"

Without soldiers doing anything, a general stepped forward and lifted Mu Nuanqing up. This woman's viciousness was even worse than Li Cangze's.

"General, it happens that many people in our barracks have been injured. Since this woman's blood is useful, it's better to let her make the most of it."

Qi Changjin waved his hand: "Don't let her die."

"Decree!" The general went out carrying the half-dead Mu Nuanqing.
