The wind blows the plum blossoms over Guanshan

Since the Yan Kingdom and the Quanrong traded together, Tianshui City has become much more prosperous than before.Changsheng descended from Guanshan Mountain, took off his military uniform and put on civilian clothes to go to Tianshui City.During this period of time, he worked with cattle and sheep all day long, and the only people he saw were soldiers in the barracks and traders passing by. He hadn't been to the city for a long time.

When he came to Tianshui for the first time, the dog soldiers were outside the north city gate, and the city could be seen to be of some scale, but it was very depressed.When he returned to Guanshan a few months ago, it was already quite lively, and it is even more prosperous now.There is an endless stream of vendors coming and going, and various commodities emerge in endlessly.Changsheng walked around the streets and alleys of Tianshui City, and stopped at Fengxiang Palace.Although he moved away from Fengxiang, Fengxiang King is Fengxiang King after all.The newly-built Fengxiang Palace may not be as large as the previous ones, but it is quite exquisitely built, complete with towers, terraces and waterside pavilions.

Murong Jianing heard that Changsheng had arrived, so he put down what he was doing and went out to greet him in person.

Changsheng saluted and said, "My lord, I'm bothering you."

Murong Jianing smiled and said: "Where, I have been looking forward to you for an unknown amount of time, come in quickly."

Changsheng entered the main hall of Fengxiang Prince's Mansion, the interior was decorated quite magnificently.There are gold-plated columns, several colorful parrots bouncing up and down in the golden birdcage, the pattern of the Qiang country is printed on the curtain, the carpet is Persian style, and the seat is covered with tiger skin.

"These are the treasures I got after the trade. Look, the fox fur, tiger skin, night pearl..." Murong Jianing pointed out a few for Chang Sheng, and asked his servants to bring wine and snacks.Changsheng looked around, and sighed that Murong Jianing was quite good at living, and arranged the palace in an orderly manner.

His eyes fell on a piece of wolf skin on the wall behind the curtain, and Chang Sheng was stunned. The way Quan Rong handled the wolf skin was very special. He had seen the wolf skin shipped by Quan Rong, and it seemed to be different from the one hanging on the wall.Looking at the crossbow hanging next to him and the pure gold falcon statue decorated on the low table below, Chang Sheng's face changed slightly.The wolves and eagles are the totems of the Huns, and the crossbows on the wall are the Huns' bows.The Xiongnu and the Yan Kingdom have fought intermittently for more than ten years, and there have always been border disputes. The two countries are in a state of complete hostility, and trade is very rare.If he hadn't seen the trophies of the Huns captured before, he probably wouldn't have recognized them.

Snow Lishuang is a poison produced in the Huns.Thinking of Chi Lu's words, Chang Sheng was taken aback for a moment, feeling a chill down his spine.

"Changsheng, what's wrong with you?"

"I... I have a headache..."

"Headache? Is there any other discomfort? Shall I find a doctor to show you..." Murong Jianing stood up and walked to Changsheng.

Chang Sheng recalled what Chi Lu had told him, and said, "Recently I have a headache. I think it was caused by excessive drinking some time ago, and the military doctor also advised me to drink less. My lord, there are still some bad things in the camp, so Li Dong has to take care of them for me." , this is my farewell."

"What's the point of sitting for a while? If you're not feeling well, you can rest here with me. I'll ask my subordinates to pass the message for you."

"No, thank you for your kindness. I do have something to deal with today. I will visit you next time after Changsheng."

"Alright, I'll take you to the door, remember to take a good rest when you go back."

Saying goodbye to Murong Jianing, Chang Sheng only felt a thin layer of sweat on his body.He rode a bay red horse, and after leaving Tianshui City, he slowed down, thinking carefully on the horse.He guessed that Murong Jianing was mostly responsible for the poisoning some time ago.The poison of Qingshuang in Xueli is very rare, and it is worth thousands of gold. Ordinary people can't get it at all.There are so many things from the Huns in the Fengxiang Palace, it seems that he has a lot of contacts with the Huns.Chang Sheng remembered that he only ate Murong Jianing's food except for meals in the military camp. He originally thought that there were spies from Quan Rong who had sneaked into the camp, but he forgot about Murong Jianing.He was surprised that the lively child had become so rich, and he couldn't help sighing slightly.Just now when he said that he often had headaches, although Murong Jianing showed concern, Chang Sheng saw something else in his eyes.He might have been wondering why he didn't have a seizure, but he didn't know that Chi Lu had almost solved it for him.

"General, you are back." Li Dong led the horse for Changsheng as usual.

"It's really troublesome to ask you to do so many things for me."

The thick man Li Dong couldn't help blushing when he heard that Chang Sheng was so polite: "General, you are being polite, this is what subordinates should do."

Just as Chang Sheng was about to enter the military tent, he stopped and said, "By the way, next time King Feng Xiang comes to see me, he will tell me that I am sick and my whole body hurts badly." Li Dong was taken aback and asked, "General, why is this?" Didn't the general get along well with King Fengxiang?

"This...don't talk about it for now. In short, do as I say, and don't tell others."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

Changsheng entered the military tent, took off his coat, changed into a light and sturdy outfit, went out of the military tent, changed his horse and ran towards the foot of Guanshan Mountain.It seems that he will have to pretend to be sick to fool him from time to time, so he can't run around all over the mountains and plains all the time.The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, Murong Jianing hadn't shown his cards to him yet, he didn't know how he was going to blackmail him, maybe his purpose was to make himself die for no reason?Changsheng shuddered, feeling chilled.

There are rumors that after Helian Zhan's death, he left behind an elite army of dozens of people who did not return to the court, but only stayed to protect his descendants. However, the whereabouts of this army is a mystery, and later generations will only regard it as a legend.Chang Sheng guessed that if this army existed, it would probably be at the level of a dead soldier or a hidden guard, so it should not be underestimated.Murong Zhaohui has only less than a hundred secret guards, and there are very few people who can reach the level of secret guards. The training is strict and time-consuming and expensive.The place where Helian Zhan confronted the Xiongnu was at Xiama Pass, but it is actually not too far from here.If he had kept his elite troops, they would probably be nearby.

Chang Sheng felt that Murong Jianing might have found the elite army or that the army had found him, which gave him the first bargaining chip, so he had some wild thoughts.In addition, the Helian family was originally a powerful family, so there were naturally a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, so he didn't have to worry about money.He thought that Murong Jianing's plan might be to rescue his elder brother, after all, they were brothers since childhood.Reminiscent of the splendor and splendor of the Fengxiang Palace in Murong Jianing and the many items from the Xiongnu Kingdom, Chang Sheng felt that it was more than that.The worst-case scenario is that Murong Jianing colluded with the Huns and planned to change the country of Yan again.

Thinking of this, Changsheng was startled into a cold sweat by himself.If this is the case, the country of Yan will be robbed again, and Murong Zhaohui's safety will also be threatened.But at the moment, he can't do anything, he can only pay close attention to Murong Jianing, pretend to be sick and stand still for the time being.If Murong Jianing wanted to use him, sooner or later he would show his cards.

August, the season of fire.If Changsheng in Longcheng would want to break his fan, it is very cool in Guanshan, and there is often a cool breeze in the afternoon.Thanks to the coolness in Guanshan, he was wrapped in a quilt and pretended to be sick so he didn't get sick from the real heat.Just now the sentry saw Murong Jianing's sedan chair approaching from a distance, so he flew down to report, and Chang Sheng quickly undressed and went to bed, pretending to be powerless.

"Is Changsheng sick again?" Murong Jianing's voice came from outside the military tent.

"Yes, the general has often been ill for no reason in the past few months. When he got sick, he had a severe headache and sometimes his whole body hurt. The military doctor showed him, but he couldn't see the problem. But after a day or two of pain, he recovered miraculously, as if nothing happened. ..." Li Dong got the order of longevity, and said it vividly in front of Murong Jianing.

"That's really weird."

Chang Sheng closed his eyes, only to hear the curtain of the room being lifted.Murong Jianing walked up to him and touched his forehead.

"My lord, why bother you to come and see me..." Chang Sheng opened his eyes weakly.

"You are so sick, of course I have to come and see. I invited a doctor for you to see if he can cure your illness."

The doctor with the goatee took the medicine box and walked to the bed, and put a small cushion to feel Changsheng's pulse.After a while, he said strangely: "This pulse is peaceful, and it really doesn't look like a sick pulse. The general is in pain all over?"

Changsheng nodded weakly.

"That's weird..."

Murong Jianing asked: "Doctor, what do you see?"

The doctor shook his head: "My lord, forgive me for being old and incompetent. I really don't see any illness. But it may be that the general has an old injury from killing the enemy on the battlefield. It has rained recently and the air is humid, and the moisture penetrates into the bone, causing rheumatism and bone pain..."

Chang Sheng said: "My military doctor also said so, maybe it is true."

Murong Jianing said: "Have you tried the medicinal wine I sent last time? It was passed down to me by my grandfather. It is said that it is very effective for this kind of disease."

"My lord's medicine is very effective. After drinking it, the pain will disappear, but after a while, the attack will still occur as usual."

"That's it, I brought you a bottle this time, and I'll bring you some next time." Murong Jia Ning ordered the servant behind him to present the small copper bottle and put it on the table.

"Thank you, my lord."

After the group left, Li Dong closed the curtain, walked up to Chang Sheng and whispered: "General, King Feng Xiang has ulterior motives, do you need to report it to the court?"

"Do you understand why I pretended to be sick?"

Li Dong nodded.

"Now I have nothing to do with him. I have no evidence that he harmed me, and I don't know what he wants to do. I can only wait."

"General, have you been poisoned by him?"

"Yes, I was hit once, and someone cured it for me. It's just that the poison is not easy to cure, and now I still have occasional headaches."

Li Dong looked at the medicinal wine Murong Jianing sent on the table, and said, "Is that the antidote?"

"It's a medicine that can only be relieved, and the dependence is very strong. In the end, I'm afraid that if I don't drink his medicine, I will die of pain. Xueli Qingshuang is not easy to deal with."

"Green frost in the snow?!" Li Dong said in surprise: "The general heard that there is no cure for this poison, so he can only rely on another relieving medicine to relieve the pain. The doctor couldn't find out that he was poisoned, and the pain It will become more and more intense, until death..." Changsheng glanced at Li Dong, and said, "You know a lot." Li Dong embarrassedly scratched his head: "The last general also heard about it from a friend who went to the rivers and lakes, He told me about many rare poisons."

"Yes, if I hadn't met an old man with great medical skills, I'm afraid my life would have been in his hands. Li Dong, follow the prescription I gave you last time to the military doctor's decoction, I'm afraid I have to continue to drink Go down until you have no headache at all."

"Is that the medicine for detoxification?"

"That's right, he has almost pulled out the poison from my body, and there is still residual poison that is difficult to get rid of. I can only drink medicine and wait for the residual poison to slowly clear away."

"Yes, the final general must arrange it all by himself, so as not to let others know the root cause."

After Li Dong went out, Chang Sheng stared at the Chi Xiao Sword hanging on the wall in a trance.It's going to be the fifteenth day again, the full moon night of Mid-Autumn Festival, his birthday, I don't know if he will miss himself.When he came back to his senses, he thought mockingly: Maybe after a few more years like this, they will forget each other, why is he still thinking about these things, let's think about how to deal with Murong Jianing.
