Qiu Wenshu was drenched in the rain all the way. Although he was driven into the woodshed to shelter from the rain in the middle of the night, he still had a fever the next day.

Feng Shiqing, who was also in the same prison car, was also sick. He was more seriously ill, and his whole body was already groggy.

The officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the prisoners reported the matter to Mengguan.

Wei Xu was beside him at the time, and after hearing this, he said, "Don't worry about it, as long as you can catch your breath when you arrive in the capital."

Meng Guan said: "Lord Wei, weak scholars like them can't carry their shoulders or hands. If they die from a minor illness, they may not be able to reach the capital."

Wei Xu snorted coldly.

Meng Guan ordered his subordinates: "Go to a doctor and prescribe some medicine for them."

Wei Xu didn't stop him.

But when the medicinal soup was ready and divided into two bowls and served in front of Qiu Wenshu and Feng Shiqing, Wei Xu strode over and knocked over the two bowls of medicine with a whip.At that time, Feng Shiqing happened to crawl over to get the medicine, his right hand was whipped, and he trembled with pain.

Qiu Wenshu hurriedly moved to Feng Shiqing's side to check his wound. The back of his hand was red and swollen, shocking.Qiu Wenshu looked up at Wei Xu suddenly, his eyes were full of hatred.

This is too deceptive!

Wei Xu approached the prison car with his hands behind his back, and looked back with hatred: "Qi Rui's revenge, I will take it easy with you!"

Qiu Wenshu looked at Wei Xu coldly.The Qiu family didn't kill Li Qirui at all, but they blamed the Qiu family for this feud!

Wei Xu grinned grimly and walked away.

Qiu Wenshu held back his anger and carefully swept the broken tiles into a pile with his hands.

The little soldier who was in charge of decocting the medicine couldn't see it, so he came over with the medicine pot and said, "There is still half a bowl of medicine soup left, you can drink it."

Feng Shiqing curled up in the prison car, already unwilling to move.Qiu Wenshu thanked softly, took the initiative to take it, and walked to Feng Shiqing's side, whispering: "Brother-in-law, drink the medicine."

Feng Shiqing shook his head lightly and said, "Go ahead and drink."

Qiu Wenshu saw that Feng Shiqing was in a daze, his eyes were wet, and he choked up and said, "Brother-in-law, you have to think about my sister and sister."

My brother-in-law was convicted because of him, if there are still troubles because of this, how can my sister gain a foothold in the Feng family?

Qiu Wenshu put the pot of medicine to Feng Shiqing's mouth and forcefully poured it down. Feng Shiqing obeyed a lot this time.Qiu Wenshu wrapped his dry robe around Feng Shiqing again.

Sitting beside Feng Shiqing, through the wooden fence, Qiu Wenshu looked at the rolling hills as if in another world. Although it was green and beautiful, he felt extremely depressed.

It was a sunny day and there was no wind or rain all day. Feng Shiqing broke out in a sweat, and he seemed to be more refreshed.

When night fell, the group of them had not yet reached the city gate, so they could only stay overnight in the wild.It's raining again and again, and it's getting bigger and bigger.

This time Qiu Wenshu also became drowsy, his whole body was hot and cold, his eyelids were heavy, and he fell asleep in the rain.

Gradually, the rain became louder and rainier, and he half-opened his eyes, and saw a tall man wearing a bamboo hat and a coir raincoat covering the prison car with thick coir grass.

Under the gurgling curtain and rain, the man's face was hidden in the night.Qiu Wenshu stared blankly at the man, who leaned over, squeezed a pill with his fingers, pressed it against Qiu Wenshu's mouth, and said in a low voice, "Swallow."

That voice was very familiar, like Yuan Chen's voice.

Did Yuan Chen fall asleep... Qiu Wenshu took the pill obediently, his tired eyes blinked and drooped weakly.

Suddenly a shout came from a distance: "Who is it!"

The voice clearly belonged to Wei Xu, Qiu Wenshu frowned impatiently, did he still dream of Wei Xu?

Immediately afterwards, two people rushed over. They were both wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats in the rain, one was a little stronger and the other was of medium height.Qiu Wenshu blinked his eyes, he was probably Wei Xu who was of medium height.

The strong man took the lead: "Everyone is camping, and you are the only one who is lazy here! Get out!"

In the blurred vision, Qiu Wenshu saw Yuan Chen turned around to leave immediately.

"Wait a minute." Wei Xu frowned, pointed his long whip at the prison car, and asked in a cold voice, "Who covered them with coir grass?"

The prison car is covered with rain grass.

The strong man immediately said: "I ordered it."

"Master Meng, you are too kind to these two prisoners, aren't you?" Wei Xu said gloomyly, and whipped his whip at the prison car——

Qiu Wenshu closed his eyes abruptly, and then opened them abruptly.

In the rain, Yuanchen firmly grasped Wei Xu's whip, and Wei Xu's voice immediately became harsh: "Are you looking for death!"

The scene is tense and imminent.

The strong man hurriedly said: "We are all in the same boat, so talk slowly if you have something to say..."

Amid the noisy sound of rain, Yuan Chen said unhurriedly: "Master Wei, you are too short-sighted, and you may not be able to achieve great things in the future."

"What did you say?!" Wei Xu became exasperated, and asked cautiously, "Who the hell are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that these two prisoners have to live to the capital." Yuan Chen categorically threw down a sentence, and after calming down Wei Xu, he said earnestly and kindly, "They are dead , the case of cheating in the imperial examination will end with the two of them. Are Master Wei and General Li willing?"

"What if it's not dead?"

"If they reach the capital safely, with my brother's operation, they can drag the entire Qiu family into the water and destroy the Qiu Wenshu family." Yuan Chen threw down his long whip and said contemptuously, "Master Wei, how to choose is up to you." I count on you."

"Humph!"

Qiu Wenshu passed out again, and could not hear any more sounds.

When Qiu Wenshu woke up the next day, the sky had cleared.Sitting on the swaying prison car, he felt much better.He looked up, there were still a few strands of scorpion grass on the roof of the prison car, and he thoughtfully pulled the stalks of grass in his hand.

Yuan Chen rushed to the front of Mengguan, and returned to the capital in a hurry.

He went directly to Prince Rui's residence and entered Prince Rui's study.

Prince Rui was reading a book by the window, he seemed a little surprised to see him, and said: "A Chen, you have come back from Qiongzhou?"

"I didn't go to Qiongzhou." Yuan Chen said.

"Oh? Why?" Prince Rui put down the book, ordered the personal eunuch to serve tea, sat on the couch by himself, seeing Yuan Chen still standing, wondered, "Why don't you sit?"

Yuan Chen raised his head, looked straight at Prince Rui, and said hoarsely: "Brother Huang, please let Qiu Wenshu go."

Prince Rui looked up at Yuan Chen in amazement, and said, "Ji Fu is not suspected of being exaggerated."

"Ah Chen, what's so special about Qiu Wenshu that you need to run all the way back?" Prince Rui sized him up as if seeing Yuan Chen for the first time, and said, "Give me a reason to give up military power for him."

"As long as your words are reasonable, Brother Huang will definitely listen to you."

Yuan Chen's cheeks were slightly sunken, and his lips were tightly pursed.After a long time, he closed his eyes and said, "I don't know either."

"Then you want me to let him go?" Prince Rui frowned gradually, his face darkened, and said, "I sent you to Qiongzhou, but you ran back halfway for Qiu Wenshu, and what was it for? Didn't figure it out?"

Yuan Chen also knew that his words were untenable, he knelt heavily in front of Prince Rui.

But Prince Rui didn't want to see him again, covered his face with one hand, waved his other hand, and ordered in a low voice: "Go back to Qiongzhou."

Yuan Chen said stubbornly, "I won't return."

"Is your sister's life important, or your so-called classmates important?" Prince Rui was extremely disappointed with Yuan Chen, he swept the teacup to the ground, and the tea pots were broken and splashed onto Yuan Chen's feet. "Can you have a priority?"
