Square inch by Kyushu

When Gu Yanxi woke up, there was nothing around her, but there was still a trace of familiarity around the pillow.

I buried my head in it unconsciously, even though I had just parted, the miss still didn't stop flooding.

On the first day of the new year, I had a wonderful start.

Trying to pull himself up from the bed, moving his bones that were about to break, Mr. Gu finally deeply realized what it means to gain something without losing it.

Picking up the letter on the table, looking at the few words hastily left on it, he sighed softly: This person must be hurrying back to the camp right now.Since you can't let go of military affairs, why bother to run away?It takes two days and two nights to go back and forth without sleep, just to spend a New Year's Eve with him, which is really nonsense.

Although he was thinking this way, his eyes finally softened a little unconsciously.

Li Muge, riding alone, ran wildly all the way, and finally returned to the camp before the sun rose on the second day.

After tearing off the human-skin mask on Qingyu's face, Li Muge patted him on the shoulder with a pleasant smile, indicating that the other party could retire.

Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief as if she was relieved, hurriedly finished the salute, and quickly withdrew from the king's tent, for fear that she would be "digged and buried alive" by her master again if she was too late.

The sky is clear, it is definitely not that he does not want to share his worries for you, but that his ability is limited.In the matter of pretending to be a monarch, he is not Luo Qiuli, no matter how hard he tries to imitate, it is a rare essence and full of loopholes.

Therefore, in the past few days, he has been sitting on pins and needles, having trouble sleeping and eating.I'm afraid that someone will accidentally show his feet, let alone whether the Lord will take care of him, even the impeachment of the court is enough for him to shed a layer of skin.

Fortunately, he was able to escape unscathed this time, and next time he will definitely try his best to make it so that there will be no next time.

Sitting behind the desk, Li Muge took the tea offered by the waiter, and nodded with satisfaction: It seems that this kid Qingyu can also take on this important task, so that he can move more freely in the future... so good, Very good!

The waiter who was waiting at the side saw the master smiling like a scheming fox, and couldn't help shrinking his neck.

Three days later, the ruling and opposition parties of Xi State resumed work again.After three days of rest, most of the officials are full of energy, and their enthusiasm for work has become extremely high.

At the same time, the battle on the front line continued to be triumphant, with successive successes.

It is said that in every battle Li Muge took the lead and rushed to the front line, beheading the invincible all the way, it was like killing a god reborn.The soldiers behind them saw that their monarch was so brave, and all the military exploits they gained could be exchanged for money and food, and they all rushed forward desperately, killing the Chu army.

At the beginning, the Chu army had hoped to "capture the thief first and capture the king first", but after the battle, let alone capture the king, as soon as they saw Li Muge, they immediately transferred the battle flag and moved to other places, from generals to soldiers. , without exception.

Therefore, an extremely strange phenomenon suddenly appeared on the huge battlefield: wherever Li Muge haunted, the surrounding area would be cleared automatically, and the battle circle would move rapidly.In the end, he was the only one left in a radius of ten miles to seek defeat alone.

Seeing that Li Muge is still the god of war on the battlefield even after becoming the king of the country, he will never leave a piece of armor wherever he goes.The eyes of the generals following him were filled with admiration, and their blood was boiling.Then, collectively turn the horse's head away from the God of War.

It's not that they don't want to follow the monarch, it's just because the monarch's personal combat power is against the sky, and only Hengdao immediately poses after him, and all the real military achievements are gone.

After several battles, the State of Xi was unstoppable, while the State of Chu was retreating steadily.

They never expected that the country of Xi, which had just experienced a great battle, was still as strong in combat, and even worse than that.Therefore, as soon as the early spring arrived, they were attacked by the state of Xi and fell under the capital.

And as its "good neighbor" - Yue State, it never expected that Chu State's combat power was so weak that it was almost copied by others in just a few months?

The so-called dead lips and cold teeth, Xi Guo clearly wants to unify the south, even if the Yue State no longer waits to see the Chu State, it can no longer sit still at this time.

What about spring plowing to worship the ancestors, the emperor's long life, and the prince's hundred years old...all temporarily put aside.The whole country entered a state of preparation for war, and a large number of reinforcements crossed the border and began to march towards Chu.

The ambassador of Chu State, who had been waiting from New Year's Eve until the spring blossoms, looked at the army of Yue State behind him, and burst into tears instantly: "My lord, the old minister is fortunate to fulfill his mission."

As soon as Yue State set off, Xi State also got the news immediately.

In the military tent, Li Muge tapped the table with his index finger, glanced at the generals under his command, patiently waiting for everyone to offer advice and speak enthusiastically.

It's just that after waiting for a long time, no one spoke.

good!Since no one was willing to take the initiative to speak, he spoke by name.

"An Canjun, you speak first."

The town army who was ordered joined the army, shivered, stepped out of the queue bravely, and knelt down to salute.

He must not have checked the almanac when he went out for a few days.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that part of the army can be dispatched to the border between Chu and Yue to intercept the reinforcements from the Yue State."

"Then according to An's idea of ​​joining the army, how many troops do we need to dispatch to repel the tens of thousands of troops from the Yue Kingdom?" Li Muge deliberately emphasized the tone of the second half of the sentence, obviously a little angry.

He has a total of tens of thousands of troops, and now he can't attack the city, so he wants to send out to intercept the strong army of the Yue Kingdom?Does he want him to court death, or does he want to court death himself?

How did such a mediocre person get into his team?

"Qin Yu, tell me." Li Muge didn't make that An Canjun get up, talking nonsense like that, kneeling is the lightest punishment.

Qingyu cried out in her heart when she heard the words: Master, you will not forget, right?I used to be just a killer, not a soldier.Although there was a "Military Speech" that surprised everyone in the court last time, it was a draft you gave me in advance, and I just followed the script.

Although he thought so, he couldn't show the slightest complaint on the surface.You should kneel or you should kneel, and if you should go back, you should go back.

"Returning to Your Majesty, as the saying goes, 'Far water can't save near fire', I think that instead of worrying about hidden dangers thousands of miles away, it is better to solve the problems in front of you first."

Li Muge nodded after hearing this, his expression was a little chilled, and he said to Qingyu: "Continue."

After Qingyu heard these two words, she almost died of depression.I just thought of such a way to deal with it just now, and now he asked him to continue, how should he continue?

So he knelt on the spot and fell into a long silence, his face flushed instantly.

It's over!The problem of being nervous and shy has been committed again.Right now, my mind is blank.

Fortunately, his words woke up the general Peng Yun next to him.

At this extremely embarrassing moment, Peng Yun suddenly clasped his fists and came out of the queue, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I just heard Qin Duwei's words, and suddenly realized. The so-called soldiers are expensive, if our army can take down the capital of Chu State first, Occupying the land of Chu, even if he crosses the border and sends reinforcements, it will be of no avail.”

Li Muge pondered for a while, it's not that he didn't think of these things, but time was short and he didn't have an overwhelming force in his hands, so it might not be easy to finish this siege battle quickly.Unless... "What General Peng said is true, but is there a good strategy?" He looked at Peng Yun with a bit of trust in his eyes, hoping that he could come up with the best solution.

Peng Yun has a stable temperament, since he opened his mouth, he already had a plan in mind.

Hearing this, he immediately replied: "Although there are good strategies, they are suspected of being immoral."

After hearing this, Li Muge understood, and immediately asked: "As far as this king knows, there are three big rivers flowing through the capital of Chu, the general wants to burst the embankment and flood the city?"

This is by far the fastest and most effective method of siege.In fact, before the Eastern Expedition, he also had the same expectation when he simulated attacking Chudu.

It was just because this method was too tragic at that time, it would need to hurt the lives of too many innocent people, and it would harm the way of heaven, so he didn't include it in the military strategy.So unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never use it.

But now, the arrow is on the string and has to be launched.

"Returning to your majesty, what your majesty said is exactly what I think. I know that your majesty has benevolence and love for the people, so I can't bear to use this method. But the troubled times will not end, and the world will not be safe. If you don't make the necessary sacrifices, you will not be able to serve the people. Create a peaceful and prosperous world." After Peng Yun said that, he immediately kowtowed heavily to Li Muge three times, and all the generals behind him also knelt on the ground when they saw this, to persuade the holy will together.

When Li Muge saw it, he didn't nod immediately, but he didn't shake his head either.

He just muttered to himself without saying a word.

He is more clear than Peng Yun about the truth of one success.

Besides, how little blood has been stained on his hands?

In troubled times and unjust wars, how much of the blood belonged to innocent people, I am afraid it has long been impossible to tell.

Therefore, even if his conscience is troubled, he will walk down the ladder that Peng Yun handed over.

After all, it is no longer his business to get to where he is today.

But every decision needs to be made accurately by him.

"Peng Yun."

"The minister is here."

"Tonight, you will arrange to build an embankment outside the city. The king will see the results by tomorrow."

"Sir, take orders." After Peng Yun took the order, he immediately led the generals behind him out of the tent, and immediately went to prepare for the embankment.

Li Muge swung back to the left and right, and sat alone in the tent until dawn.

"Jun Cen, what's the matter?" Ji Yiran raised his leg and kicked Shen Zhufeng, who fell to the ground and was twitching, with obvious disgust in his eyes.

"Returning to Your Majesty, 'Drunkenness, Dreams and Death' is the work of Sheng Jisheng's painstaking efforts, and it has been improved by medical sages. The pharmacology is too complicated, and it will take some time for the antidote, but..." Dumb Jun Cen suddenly stopped at this point, Looking at Ji Yiran, he hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Ji Yiran sneered, "Jun Cen, if you have something embarrassing to say, you can say it quickly, if you don't want to say it, then just shut up." He rolled his eyes and glanced at the people beside him contemptuously .

The dumb gentleman Cen heard the words, his eyes covered by the bangs on his forehead turned cold quietly, but his tone became more respectful: "Return to Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. From now on, I will never play such tricks in front of Your Majesty again."

While speaking, he took out a jade-colored porcelain bottle from his sleeve, and poured out a crimson pill from it, and continued: "Although I haven't made a real antidote, I have made one that has the same effect as 'Drunk Life, Dreams and Death'." The same, but another drug 'Bliss' without any toxicity."

Ji Yiran took the pill, a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a madness eager to try.

"What is the magical effect of this medicine, tell me quickly."

The corner of Mute Juncen's mouth flickered coldly, but no one noticed it in the darkness.

"Returning to Your Majesty, this medicine is the same as 'Zuishengmengdie'. After taking it, it will make people feel extremely happy, but when they refuse to take it, they will not be depressed. There is no need to worry about the danger of addiction. Now the antidote for 'Zuishengmengdie' is still available. It has not been completely produced, when your Majesty's drug addiction occurs, it is better to use this drug to restrain and suspend emotions."

After hearing this, Ji Yiran neither praised Ya Juncen nor scolded him.He just narrowed his eyes slowly, repeatedly observing the small pill pinched on his fingertips.

Gradually, a deep hatred appeared in his eyes.

If it weren't for Li Muge, he wouldn't have fallen to the point of being controlled by drugs.

There is no antidote for "drunk life, dream of death" in this world, and the antidote given by Li Muge is actually "drunk life, dream of death".

Therefore, those who suffer from this poison can only continue to take the medicine until one day they have a mental breakdown, fall into madness, and end their own life.

He also tried to stop taking the medicine, but how could the pain in it be beyond the imagination of ordinary people?

There were nightmares and hallucinations.

All the painful memories came to him in a more painful way.That kind of heart-piercing torture was so painful that I couldn't bear it.

So he surrendered.

However, as a result of taking the medicine one after another, his spirit became more and more unstable, irritable, furious, desperate... More and more negative emotions quietly grew in his body, constantly eroding his sanity.

And can the medicine that Ya Juncen gave him really make him get out of this dead situation?Or fall into a deeper abyss?

He doesn't trust him.

Or that he no longer trusts anyone now.

At this time, he stuffed the medicine into the mouth of Shen Zhufeng, who fell on the ground and was already unconscious.

He said coldly: "This king needs to observe."

Yajun Cen immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this person just happened to be addicted to drugs. Your Majesty, you can observe now."

Not long after, Shen Zhufeng, who was still twitching just now, suddenly stopped twitching, and a trace of clarity gradually recovered in his eyes.

Ji Yiran raised his hand, called the guards around him to step forward, and ordered coldly: "As usual, let him go/live, /quick/live."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a few tall and thick men with ferocious eyes and obscene smiles, rushing towards Shen Zhufeng who was huddled in the corner like hungry wolves.

Several thick arms skillfully pressed him to the ground, some held their hands, some pressed their legs, and some pinched his chin fiercely.

The reason why these jailers suppressed him so tightly is that there are too many lessons learned from successful resistance before. It doesn't matter if they failed to be "fast/live", but displeased the king behind him will be in danger.

At this time, a jailer with a wretched face decisively tore off Shen Zhufeng's pants, and the sound of flesh and blood being severely torn suddenly resounded in the dark cell.

Shen Zhufeng frowned, and bit his lower lip hard in pain.But this time, from the beginning to the end, there was no resistance for the first time.

Ji Yiran's eyes quietly showed a little satisfaction.

Pointing to the jailer who pinched his chin, he said leisurely: "You, don't let his mouth idle."

After the jailer got the order, he did it without any hesitation.

For these jailers who do the dirtiest jobs, it is extremely difficult to get a good marriage, and they have no money to go to the brothel, so they often "fire" the prisoners in the prison, doing this kind of thing Things have long been familiar.

Now, to be able to enjoy Wang Ling's upright carnival with such a smooth-skinned, handsome browed top-quality guy, it's like a big pie falling from the sky.

At this time, Shen Zhufeng whimpered, and the corners of his already parched mouth, which had been forcibly stretched open, were bleeding instantly.

Dumb Jun Cen quietly looked away, not because he couldn't bear it, but because he instinctively felt that this matter was too disgusting.

Ji Yiran watched it with gusto.

It is said that this person is Gu Yanxi's apprentice, how much of that person's character has he learned from him?

As he thought about it, his eyes gradually darkened.

Shen Zhufeng didn't know which jailer he was on, but he felt that the torture this time was not as unbearable as the previous ones.

The body is actually/shamefully giving birth to a bit of happiness.

Sometimes, the person in front of him would become familiar, it was no longer those prison guards with stern faces, but a young man with sculpted eyebrows and bright eyes, always with a serious face.

He called him Xiaoliu.

He called him Ah Qi.

But he's his brother, and he would never do that to him.

In this way, he is sometimes sober and sometimes drunk.Amidst the many hallucinations, he could no longer tell the truth from the false.

The body and mind floated like a dream. I was happy, but I couldn't help but shed a tear.

After a lot of tossing, Shen Zhufeng held back the torn clothes.His expression was not as shameful, indignant and desperate as before, but unexpectedly calm.The fundus of the eyes has always maintained a sobriety.

"You're in pretty good shape this time." Ji Yiran nodded in satisfaction, and put the jade-colored porcelain bottle into her sleeve.

Shen Zhufeng glanced at him lightly, but did not speak.

What can he say?

Could it be that you tell him that now he actually feels that such a thing doesn't matter anymore?

Ji Yiran saw the effect of the "Bliss" medicine, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to the dumb gentleman beside him, "I will observe for a while. As for the antidote, you still have to make it as soon as possible."

Ya Juncen nodded, looking at Shen Zhufeng even more cruelly.

With a wooden crutch in his right hand, Ji Qishen leaned half-slanted on the ferry, waiting for the boat.

Suddenly, his heart tightened, and his breath stopped in his chest for an instant.

Covering his chest, he began to cough violently.It didn't stop until I bent down coughing.

At this time, a young man wearing a bamboo hat next to him handed him a water bottle and said, "Brother, drink some water."

Ji Qishun heard the man's gentle voice and calm gestures, so he took the water bottle and thanked him.

After drinking two sips of water, he finally stopped coughing, and thanked the young man in the bamboo hat again.

At this time, the young man in the bamboo hat said again: "Brother, I saw that your face is pale, but your cheeks are reddish. This shows that your lungs are full of fire." While speaking, he took out a black pill and handed it to him, saying: " This medicine has the effect of clearing the lungs and stopping fire, you can try it."

Ji Qishun didn't take the pill, but said, "I'm fine."

Seeing this, the young man in a bamboo hat knew that his "gifting medicine" to a stranger was a bit abrupt, so he took the medicine back with a smile.

At this time, the ferry docked.

Ji Qishun and the young man in the bamboo hat boarded the same boat again, and they couldn't help but smile at each other.

Later, after chatting with each other, I found out that both of them were going to Xi Country.

Fight

Li Qingnian was Nangong Jing who had returned from a trip, and he went back at this time because Luo Qiuli was in a hurry to find him.

Ji Qishun's purpose was to go to Xi Country to find Gu Yanxi.

The river was rolling, Ji Qi glanced at the other shore that was about to arrive, and said silently in his heart: "Xiao Liu, I wonder if you have arrived in Country Xi?"
