The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

The next day, just after breakfast, Shen Jingzhou sent Shitou and Qing'er away.

The three members of the Su family and Shen Jingzhou were sitting at the stone table under the tree in the yard. Shen Jingzhou looked haggard, and it was obvious that he did not sleep well last night.

"Uncle Su, Aunt Su, I was narrow-minded before and concealed many things from you. I feel ashamed of your family's repeated help." Shen Jingzhou stood up and bowed deeply to Uncle Su and Aunt Su.

Father Su quickly helped Shen Jingzhou up: "Mr. Shen, you must not do this. What I said last night was a bit harsh, but I was also worried."

"Uncle, I understand. It's me who has caused trouble for your family."

"Actually, I did not lie to you about my identity. I am indeed the eldest son of the Shen family of Shen's Trading Company." Shen Jingzhou said this and looked at the three members of the Su family hesitantly, wondering whether it was right to tell the Su family.

After a while, Shen Jingzhou continued, "My Shen's business is spread all over the Great Sheng Dynasty, and my family is an imperial merchant. My mother is from the Wang family of Langya."

……

After an incense stick of time, only three members of the Su family were left in the yard, and Shen Jingzhou went out to look for Qing'er and Shitou.

The three members of the Su family were still so shocked by what Shen Jingzhou had just said that they couldn't recover for a long time.

Shen Jingzhou just said that the reason his family was able to become an imperial merchant was not only because their family had some strength in business, but also because of his aunt.

The youngest daughter of his mother's generation in the direct branch of the Wang family of Langya was the current empress, Queen Wang.

Queen Wang was pregnant with two sons, the fifth prince and the eighth prince, and Qing'er was the eighth prince.

Xiao Yi lying in the room was indeed his cousin, born to his great aunt, who was married into the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Xiao Yi is the young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's family. He went to the battlefield with the Duke of Zhenguo at the age of 10 and was also a meritorious young general.

Some time ago, the Duke of Zhenguo was assassinated by spies from the Northern Di people. Xiao Yi was accidentally shot by an arrow while trying to save his father, the Duke of Zhenguo. He never expected that the arrowhead was coated with a deadly poison by the Northern Di people.

The imperial physician and many famous doctors were helpless and could only diagnose that it was a poison called Kuimu produced by the Beidi royal family.

This poison will not kill people immediately, but will cause them to go blind instantly.

Afterwards, the person gradually falls into a deep sleep, his internal organs gradually fail, and he slowly decays and dies.

Currently, it is only the Divine Doctor Lin invited by the Wang family of Langya who has forced most of the poison to the legs, slowing down the rate of failure of the internal organs.

The reason why the Beidi spies were able to successfully sneak into the Duke Zhenguo's mansion and assassinate the Duke Zhenguo was because of the incompetence of the emperor of the time.

The fifth prince born to the queen was originally the legitimate son, and should have been made the crown prince in terms of both etiquette and ability.

But the emperor doted on Concubine Wei very much and wanted to make the sixth prince born to Concubine Wei the crown prince.

The court officials would naturally disagree. For the sake of political stability, the emperor could not force the sixth prince to be the crown prince.

However, the emperor did not appoint the fifth prince as the crown prince, leaving the crown prince position vacant.

The crown prince was not appointed for a long time, the court was restless, many ministers were divided into factions, and the court was in a chaotic atmosphere.

In order to make her son, the Sixth Prince, the crown prince, Concubine Wei secretly reached a cooperation with the Northern Di.

If Beidi could wish for the Sixth Prince to ascend the throne of Crown Prince, they would be willing to cede some border cities when the Crown Prince ascends the throne in the future.

The fifth prince was well protected by the queen, and the northern barbarians had no way to assassinate him.

So Concubine Wei took advantage of the fact that the Queen had a cold and had no time to take care of her and set her sights on Qing'er.

After using a trick to lure Qing'er out of the palace, the Northern Di people kidnapped Qing'er. The guards chased her to Qingzhou Prefecture, and during the fight, one of the guards snatched Qing'er back.

Before they could be rescued, the Northern Di people came after them again. They had no choice but to hide Qing'er and lead them away. Finally, Qing'er was found by the Su family.

It would be easy for Concubine Wei to unite with the Northern Di people to deal with the Duke of Zhenguo, as that was the power of the fifth prince's mother's family.

He also holds military power. If the Duke of Zhenguo is gone, the Fifth Prince will lose a great helper.

In addition, Concubine Wei whispered in the emperor's ear, suggesting that the Duke of Zhenguo had a rebellious heart. The emperor was already afraid of the Xiao family's military power, so he acquiesced to Concubine Wei's actions.

But what the emperor didn't know was that Concubine Wei was cooperating with the Northern Di people, and he thought that the assassins were sent by Concubine Wei's father, Prime Minister Wei.

What Shen Jingzhou described was far beyond the Su family's imagination, and he described it in such detail that the Su family was shocked.

What the Su family didn't expect was that the reason why Shen Jingzhou said it so clearly was because he felt that the Su family was not just ordinary hunters, and he also hoped that the Su family could really save his cousin's life.

"Dad, we also rescued a prince, wow." Su Weixi said mischievously.

"Yeah, the situation is too complicated." Su's mother also sighed.

"Dad, should we save the little general in there or not?" Su Weixi asked the most critical question at the moment.

Whether or not everyone should draw a clear line in the future is a matter for the future. The most important thing right now is whether or not to save Xiao Yi.

"Save him, we must save him." After thinking for a moment, Father Su said solemnly.

Su's mother and Su Weixi looked at Su's father with doubt, not understanding why Su's father suddenly made up his mind.

"Ahem, well, I learned some information in the capital city before."

Father Su briefly told Mother Su and Su Weixi what he had learned in the capital city.

The Duke of Zhenguo was named Xiao Zhizhong. The Xiao family had guarded the border for generations, and the bodies of countless sons of the Xiao family were buried in the border town.

Including the second son of the Duke of Zhenguo, who died in the last battle last year.

In short, the Xiao family has been loyal for generations, using their own blood to guard the border and protect the people.

We cannot just watch a child like this die without helping him.

Father Su himself had been a soldier before, and he had a natural liking for soldiers. In addition, the Xiao family was indeed worthy of admiration, so he wanted to save them.

After making the decision, the three of them discussed how to save him and what kind of explanation to come up with.

After all, they are afraid that next time, some of these people will come to ask for help because of problems with their family members. It’s okay once or twice, but after a while, they will figure out some tricks.

Finally, it was decided that the detoxification pill he took out this time would be the last one.

At that time, the old hunter left only two, one for Shen Jingzhou and the last one for Xiao Yi. There were really no more after that.

Knowing that the Su family was willing to give out the last detoxification pill, Su's mother was willing to prepare a potion to be taken together.

Shen Jingzhou was so excited that he almost knelt down to the Su family, but was stopped by Su's father.

So as usual, a Maltesers tablet and a bottle of Lingquan water with orange-flavored effervescent tablets.

After Xiao Yi drank the medicine, he woke up that night.

However, his eyes were still blind, and the Su family was helpless.

Su's mother also took Xiao Yi's pulse. The poison in his body had been removed, but the damage caused by the previous poison had not yet healed.

Su's mother didn't understand much and suggested that Shen Jingzhou find a reliable doctor to take his pulse.

But what Su's mother could guarantee was that Xiao Yi was definitely not in danger of life now.

Hearing that Xiao Yi was not in danger of life, Shen Jingzhou couldn't help but cry with joy.
