The Grandmaster Strategist - Chapter 210
[Chapter 43]
Hehe, I finally found time today to find a place where I can surf the Internet, and lifted all the weights for this week. It’s really hard to live outside!
But I have to continue to ask for leave, because I don’t know when I can go back.
—————————
After returning, he was lying sick and couldn’t afford it. With the war in Chuzhou about to start, Yu sent him to Xuzhou to raise him. He recovered after years.
—— “The History of Chu in the Southern Dynasties Jiang Suiyun Biography”
Just when Wei Ying and Ling Yu were fighting hard on the cliff, the mountain road down the cliff was already silent. Everyone on the cliff thought that the poisonous smoke was raging, and there was no more disaster, so they didn’t pay attention to the movement below, but they didn’t know what had not dispersed. There is nothing in the poisonous smoke.
When the man dressed as a sergeant of the forbidden army rushed to Mrs. Lu to reveal his identity, it was when Wei Ying launched the poisonous attack. Already on the verge of collapse, the sergeant did not bother to explain, he took out a jade bottle from his bosom, poured out some pills, and hurriedly said: “This is the medicine secretly made by Hanyuan, it can cure hundreds of poisons, Madam, take it quickly. ”
Mrs. Lu has already figured it out now that this person must be a master sent by Jiang Zhe to protect her mother and son. Although she is a noble lady of Southern Chu, Mrs. Lu often hears her husband talking about Jiang Zhe, so she has no idea about Jiang Zhe. Excessive rejection, but after thinking about it, he thought that if he took the antidote, he would have received the grace of Dayong, and hesitation flashed in his eyes.
At this time, although everyone in the Lu family took the antidote, they all looked at Mrs. Lu. Waiting for her life, the poisonous smoke had already filled in at this time, and everyone was on the verge of collapse, but it was a few underage children. Never took the antidote.
Seeing this, the sergeant sighed in his heart, but he never tried to persuade him. He is Qu Huang, one of the Eight Horses. He has always known that Jiang Zhe and Lu Can have the deepest master-disciple friendship. Zhe was even more ill because of Lu Can’s death, so although Qu Huang respected Lu Can as a person, he was also jealous, so he deliberately didn’t say much and tried Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu’s eyes flashed with pain in her eyes, and she put the antidote into her mouth. Seeing that she accepted it, everyone in the Lu family took the medicine, but two young children were unable to take the medicine, and they only took the antidote with the help of their companions.
Seeing that everyone had taken the antidote, Qu Huang was relieved. This antidote was very precious. Even Ba Jun and others only had ten or eight self-defense pills around him. , I thought it was unnecessary at first, but I didn’t expect it to be used, otherwise the antidote on my body would definitely not be enough.
Looking at the seven antidote left in the bottle, Qu Huang shook his head slightly and wanted to put it away.
At this time, Ding Ming had already arrived. If a martial artist encountered danger, his first reaction was to protect himself. As soon as the poisonous smoke fell, he held his breath to resist, and immediately took some antidote on his body, but it was not very symptomatic. , the effect was minimal. Seeing that his companion who was fighting for the rest of his life was poisoned, Ding Ming could do nothing. Fortunately, the people in Fengyi’s door were already in a panic. He wanted to encourage the supporters to lead the Lu clan to rush out, but seeing Madam Lu and others safe and sound, he didn’t pay attention to the changes just now, but at this moment he was stunned when he saw such a strange situation, his mind was shocked, and he was a little shaken. .
After taking the antidote, Mrs. Lu still felt a little embarrassed, but she no longer felt chest tightness and dizziness. Seeing Ding Ming and others coming, she quickly asked Qu Huang, “Do you have any antidote?”
Qu Huang’s eyes flickered, seeing Ding Ming and the few people behind him who were forced to restrain their breathing, their faces turned dark, thinking that they did not seek to escape but came to save people first, and he felt respect in his heart, thinking that he had not been ordered to They were buried together, sighed softly, and handed over the remaining pills.
Ding Ming saw that Mrs. Lu was safe and sound, and knew that the pill was effective. Although he didn’t know how the sergeant had the antidote, he hurriedly passed it on to everyone, but there were only seven pills left, including Ding Ming, but eight people lasted until Now,
Ding Ming hesitated for a while, and then quickly put the last antidote into the mouth of a companion who was close to unconsciousness. However, because he held his breath for too long, his face was flushed, and he couldn’t hold it any longer. The world was spinning, and the coldness rushed over him.
His body became soft, but he was supported by someone, and then a pill was stuffed into his mouth. After a while, he gradually came to his senses, only to see the plain-looking banned army staring at him, and could not help but whisper: ” Thank you for saving your life, who are you?”
Qu Huang sighed softly: “Ding Daxia, don’t blame me, the antidote is gone, I’ll give you a drug that fights poison with poison, no matter what kind of poison it is, it can be suppressed for some time, but if you don’t have a famous doctor to diagnose and treat it afterwards. , I am afraid that my life will not be saved. I am not afraid to tell you my identity. In Xiaquhuang, I am a named disciple of Jianghou. This time I was ordered to protect Mrs. Lu’s family from going south. Because it is inconvenient for Mrs. Lu to know, I will try to make it impossible for one of the banned soldiers. Came here to replace him and mixed into the escorted forbidden army, and now he has no choice but to reveal his identity, Ding Daxia needs to remember the feeling of helping each other, and how about this matter after the difficulties are overcome?”
Although Ding Ming was shocked, he vaguely felt that this was the case. Jiangzhe, the Hou Jiangzhe of Chu Township, was known in Jiangnan about the worship of Guangling. Now that Lu Can is dead, the hostility between Jiang Zhe and the Lu family is no longer. Of course, although he was still wary of the sergeant who claimed to be Qu Huang’s secret methods, he couldn’t care less about it at the moment and said in a low voice, “The fight is going on above, how about we protect Mrs. Lu from leaving here first?” Hearing the voices on the cliff, he already knew that Wei Ying meant to die together, but when he thought of Wei Ying’s actions that did not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, he still had lingering hatred in his heart, and he was unwilling to go up to help. What’s more, although he temporarily suppressed the poison, his strength was not enough. , Although everyone has been detoxified, there is still a sense of blood surging, and they are unable to fight.
Everyone negotiated a decision, and they sneaked away from here under the guidance of Qu Huang. At this time, all the disciples of Fengyi Sect fell to the ground and did not know whether they were alive or dead. Ding Ming and others were secretly shocked. It is impossible to escape the poisonous smoke.
At this time, although everyone was still on guard, it was inconvenient to show suspicion and followed Qu Huang.
After walking for a long time, it was almost completely dark at this time, the mountain road was difficult and dangerous south, and in the darkness, although Ding Ming and others were protecting him, he would inevitably stumble. Night pearls are not very bright. If they are far away, they must be difficult to detect, but they can illuminate the surrounding area. However, this string of night pearls is already very precious, not to mention that each pearl in the string is about the same size, round and crystal clear, with no Flawless, really worth a fortune.
Ding Ming and others felt dizzy at first, but after all, everyone is a determined person, otherwise they would not be able to give birth to a Jedi, sober up, but they do not understand why this person took out the pearl to show off.
Qu Huang didn’t seem to pay attention to everyone’s expressions at all, tore off the bead string, distributed the night pearl to everyone, and then walked first, and everyone understood what Qu Huang meant.
Ding Ming, who was walking at the back, sighed in his heart that although he only lent Mingzhu for lighting, he had such arrogance and arrogance. Even though he was used to seeing the heroes of Southern Chu, he felt heartbroken. This person is unknown, but he has such a dignified and generous personality. It is only natural that Yong can sweep the world.
After walking for a long time, Qu Huang led the crowd into a valley, and saw that several tents had already been set up there, and the soil traces were still new, apparently they had just been built, and it was probably less than half an hour. Among them, bedding, hot water, and hot food have been prepared, but there is not even a single person.
Qu Huang asked everyone to rest inside, Ding Ming frowned and said nothing. This person was prepared here. Could it be that his own experience was in this person’s plan, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions at this time. I felt that this man had a plain appearance and seemed to be ordinary, but seeing that he was calm and commanding, it seemed that he claimed to be a disciple of Jiang Zhe, and there was no false statement in it.
At this time, there was a sudden cry of surprise from Mrs. Lu’s tent. Ding Ming’s heart was shocked. He didn’t care about his defense. He hurried over and opened the curtain. He saw Mrs. Lu holding Lu Ting in her arms, tears streaming down her face, and Lu Ting’s complexion Much better, she is wiping the tears on her mother’s face with her little hands.
Ding Ming was also very pleasantly surprised, but he hurriedly backed out, just in time to see Qu Huang smiling slightly, and was about to ask each other, at this time Ku Zhuzi sneered: “Could it be that you are teaming up with Wei Ying again, no wonder Wei Ying wants to What about Fengyi’s fire?”
Qu Huang’s face turned cold, but he didn’t have a stern manner, and said lightly: “What did your Excellency say, Wei Ying is a treasonous minister, how can my husband cooperate with him. It’s just that there are too many people sent by my husband, and they have already been decorated with them. Wei Ying was just looking for an opportunity to rescue Young Master Lu. If he hadn’t gotten a message from his companions and learned about the poison attack, he would not have been able to save you all. The matter of Young Master Lu was also the news that I only got on the way. Someone has already treated him. After that, the prescription is on the document in the tent, and the medicine has been prepared, so that Mrs. Lu’s maid can decoct the medicine for him to take, and I think it will save Lu Gongzi’s suffering.”
Kuzhuzi was stunned, Ding Ming sighed and said: “Jianghou Ye is really amazing, no wonder I always hear the sound of birds chirping on the cliffs by the roadside, and even more faintly feel that someone is watching secretly, I want to come here, it is already under your control. in?”
Qu Huang said with a sneer: “People in the rivers and lakes of Southern Chu love to treat the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. What kind of person is Lord Hou? It’s just for the safety of Madam Lu’s mother and son.”
Ding Ming was silent, knowing that what this person said was the truth. How could these people be seen by the great ministers like Jiang Zhe, but if Mrs. Lu and her son were controlled by the Yong people, it would definitely affect the morale of Southern Chu. But he couldn’t raise any objections. The life-and-death struggle along the way was enough to stop anyone from moving forward.
At this time, a gentle and firm voice came from behind the two of them: “My mother and son are grateful for the kindness of Lord Jiang, but my husband has already warned me that the survivors cannot go to the enemy country for their lives.”
The two turned their heads when they heard the sound, and saw Madam Lu standing not far away, with a calm expression, as if what she said were just ordinary words, rather than letting life go lightly.
Qu Huang’s heart became more and more respectful, and he stepped forward and said: “Madam, Nanchu is no longer a happy land, and Dingyuan is an even more miserable place. Madam and the young master are both valuables, how can we flood the dangerous land, Hou Ye has arranged it properly. , as long as the madam is willing, you can sail straight to the north, and the marquis can also promise that he will never use the identities of the madam and the son to do anything harmful to Nanchu.”
Mrs. Lu said lightly: “Marquis Jinnuo, the widow is naturally trustworthy. I think Dayong doesn’t need to use orphans and widows to attract people’s hearts, but Lu is a minister of Nanchu, and even if he dies, he will die in Nanchu. Betray Zhongliang, but the Lu family will never fail the court. Although Dingyuan is a dangerous place, it is the court’s order, and the survivors can’t go against the will.”
Qu Huang said solemnly: “The Lu family is loyal and strong, and I respect it, but the traitor of the monarch of Nanchu, the traitor, destroyed the Great Wall and did not want to be loyal. Why should the madam never forget such a court? The Hou Ye didn’t want the madam to betray the motherland, but only in the old days. The relationship between teachers and students, I don’t want the general to wither behind him.”
Mrs. Lu gave a gift and said: “Your Excellency did not hesitate to risk life and death to save the widow and the young son of the concubine. The concubine is grateful for such kindness. Even if you want the widow to repay with death, the concubine will not have any complaints. Only this matter is absolutely impossible, for the sake of loyalty and righteousness, the husband did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to each other, and the concubine did not dare to say that she would inherit the legacy of her husband, but she could not abandon her family and country, and live in peace in the world.”
Hearing this, Ding Ming stepped forward and bowed: “The words of the madam are like a powerful message. The general was killed in the hands of the traitor. We all feel chilled, and many soldiers with lofty ideals abandoned the army and left. I heard the words of the madam today. Knowing that my wife is not as well aware of the principles of loyalty and righteousness as my wife, if I survive Wu Yue, I will tell everyone what my wife has said, and even if I die in the battlefield, I will never let the Yong army ride south.”
There were faint tears in Mrs. Lu’s eyes, and she said, “If my husband knew that Ding Daxia thought like this, he would definitely rest his eyes in Jiuquan.”
The expression on Qu Huang’s face changed, and it took a long time to say: “Master Ding knows that his life is still under our control, even if the hero returns to Wuyue next time, the poison on your body has not been lifted, and the holy hand of Qi Huang who can heal you is mostly there. Dayong, we don’t need to worry about it, Your Excellency is not long in life.”
Ding Ming smiled calmly and said, “It is already a generous gift from Your Excellency to be able to live a long time. Although many people are greedy for life and fear death, if Your Excellency forces you to die, you will be underestimated.”
Qu Huang Wenyan smiled and said: “People are not afraid of death, but why should they be afraid of death, but Ding Daxia is too underestimated. This is the matter here, and I will go back and return to my life. Although Duan Yue is dead, I have already written the documents on him. Take it, Ding Daxia can escort Mrs. Lu to Dingyuan to do business for him. As for the hidden dangers in your body, there is no way to do it in the next moment, but if you have time, you might as well go to Nanmin Yueshi and give it a try.” , then walked out, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Both Ding Ming and Mrs. Lu were stunned for a moment. They both knew that this man had put a lot of effort into it and thought he would not give up unless he achieved his goal. In fact, both of them had decided to face any outcome calmly. Letting go, so decisive and free and easy, heartbreaking.
The two looked at each other with worry in their eyes. After a long time, Mrs. Lu sighed softly and went back to the account.
Qu Huang’s figure was like a bird flying across the night. It didn’t take long before he saw the dim pearl light in front of him. He was overjoyed, and he quickened his pace. When he came closer, he saw a young man in shabby clothes standing on the mountain. , if it weren’t for the shining pearl in his hand, even if he was a beggar, some people would believe him.
When Qu Huang saw the handsome and haggard face of the young man, he felt pity in his heart, stopped behind the man, and said, “Yu Lun, why do you have to suffer so much, you refuse to return to the secret camp, and you insist on following us south to protect Mrs. Lu Mother and son, aren’t you afraid that Master Chen will kill you by the way?”
Yu Lun didn’t look back, and whispered, “Is Mrs. Lu safe?”
Qu Huang shrugged and said, “It’s safe and sound. I think Lord Chen has gone to negotiate with Xiahou Yuanfeng, lest he take the opportunity to be troublesome and embarrass Mrs. Lu. Yu Lun, what are your plans in the future?”
Yu Lun sighed: “I promised that the general would no longer be involved in the dispute between the two countries. If I stayed in Jianye, I would not be able to avoid this, so I simply went south to escort Mrs. Lu’s mother and son. If I can keep them safe, it is considered a It’s worth noting the one-sided relationship with the general, now that there is nothing to do, please return the pearl to Bai Yi for me, I will leave now, and I will not say goodbye to him.”
Qu Huang sighed: “You are still such a weird person. You said you wanted to go back to Jianye, so you refused to stay in the secret camp. Now you don’t go back to Jianye, why are you still unwilling to come back?”
Hearing this, Yu Lun suddenly showed an embarrassed look on his face. Qu Huang and him were very familiar with him. With a move in his heart, he stepped forward and said, “Yu Lun, what’s on your mind, can’t you tell me? We are brothers and sisters for many years, you Why don’t you tell me, maybe I can make an idea for you.”
Yu Lun hesitated for a while, and finally said: “I originally thought she was just a substitute, but these days I always think of her.”
Qu Huang rejoiced in his heart and said, “So you are also moved by the prodigal son, but that girl Liu, you have been a qin master by her side for a long time, so it turned out that you were in love and couldn’t help yourself. If that’s the case, why don’t you go? Propose to her quickly, a slender lady, a good gentleman, Liu Rumeng is an oiran in the south of the Yangtze River, and her appearance and talent are rare in the world. UU reading www.sonicmtl.com Your personality and talent are also rare, and they are a natural couple. If I don’t think there is a generous betrothal gift, so I don’t dare to say it, our brothers will help you, and you will definitely marry a beautiful woman.” As he spoke, he was pondering what Yu Lun meant by a substitute.
Yu Lun didn’t know what he was thinking, and said sadly: “Even if I have such a heart, I don’t dare to say it. Rumeng is one of the people she admires most, and the general is one of them. If you let her know that I also have a share in framing the general, I’m afraid she won’t forgive me.”
Qu Huang’s expression changed, and he said: “You are a fan of the authorities, Lu Can’s death was caused by Shang Weijun, you were just pushing the fire, or you were ordered to act, what does this guilt have to do with you, but you also helped Lu Can to save Lu Can. , and now she has gone south to protect Mrs. Lu and her son, if Miss Liu knew about it, she would only admire you, not to mention that no one except Shang Weijun and his son would know about your advice, as long as you don’t tell me, who will know?”
Yu Lun had a gloomy expression, but just shook his head and said, “If you want people to not know, you can’t hide it unless you don’t do it yourself. What’s more, when I saw the general committing suicide that day, I always thought, if I knew him, no matter what. It won’t hurt him in any way.”
Seeing him so depressed, Qu Huang sighed: “It’s really a pity, I have been in Jiangnan for many years, although I have met him, but I have never really met him, but it was just a one-sided relationship, you are so sorry for him. , I think this person must be the first-class person in the world!”
Yu Lun said indifferently: “If you talk about talent, you are naturally inferior to Mr., but if you talk about mindfulness, no one in the world can match it.”
Qu Huang’s expression changed slightly, and it took a long time to say: “Sir has decided not to worry about worldly affairs, and the Tianji Pavilion will disappear. If you still stay in Jiangnan, I’m afraid it will be difficult for us to protect you.”
Yu Lun didn’t make a sound, his eyes were full of indifference.
