Rebirth of Wendong Xiaoji

Chapter 68 Assassination

Although Chen Wendong was curious, since the two of them refused to speak, he couldn't force him to ask directly.

But before Chen Wendong could figure it out, another major event happened.

On the second day after Huahong and the others came back, Zhou Yanhuan came to the door again, and brought two younger ones, Zhou Zhengbo and Zhou Yixin, by the way.Zhou Zhengze has already formally studied as a teacher, but he seldom comes again.

With Zhou Yanhuan, the big Buddha, haunting Chen Wendong all the time, it was difficult for Chen Wendong to talk to others alone, so he couldn't think of other things.

Zhou Yanhuan lived on the mountain for two days before returning to Ganges Island.Before leaving, Zhou Zhengbo hugged Chen Wendong's thigh and did not let go, insisting that Chen Wendong go back with him.Chen Wendong had no choice but to get into the carriage with the little bun under his arms, intending to send him for a while before returning.

It never occurred to them that less than twenty miles away from Huajiazhai, they encountered an ambush when they passed a small hillside.All of a sudden, the killers swarmed out, really catching them all by surprise.

Chen Wendong lifted the curtain of the car and took a closer look, and suddenly felt that the situation was serious.There were hundreds of assassins outside, and Zhou Yanhuan only brought two hundred soldiers, and he had to be distracted to protect them. It can be said that Zhou Yanhuan had no advantage at all.

Zhou Yanhuan and Chen Wendong looked at each other, and they jumped out of the carriage at the same time and got on the horse.Zhou Yanhuan ordered his subordinate soldiers: "You protect the young master and young lady for me, you guys find a chance to break through, and report to Huajiazhai immediately!"

With the command of Zhou Yanhuan and Chen Wendong, the situation is under control, but it is impossible to win more with less.These killers are highly skilled, well-trained, and familiar with formations, and they are most likely members of the ranks.

Zhou Yanhuan and others created an opportunity to let the subordinates go out to deliver the letter, but these killers were too cunning, Zhou Yanhuan made several shots, but was blocked from coming back.Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, Zhou Yanhuan gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I'm going out to distract the enemy, you must go out and report the news! Xiaodongzi, take good care of the child for me!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Yanhuan rushed out as soon as he hit the horse. Chen Wendong was so anxious that he could only approach Zhou Yanhuan while protecting the carriage.Seeing that the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, the killers began to shoot arrows at Zhou Yanhuan.

Up to this time, everyone is jealous, and Zhou Yanhuan and Chen Wendong are also desperate.The two fought on each side and relied on each other. At this moment, the two gave their backs to each other without hesitation.

Just when they were about to lose their hold, two fast horses came rushing from the direction of Huajiazhai.The men on horseback, one in red and the other in black, rushed in like two fierce tigers.These two are none other than Hua Hong and Zhao Mang.

With the addition of these two fierce generals, the form of war quickly reversed.As the saying goes, a thousand soldiers are easy to get but a general is hard to find. This is the truth. A strong general can not only inspire the blood of soldiers, but also deter the enemy's mind.

On the battlefield, it is important to use one force to beat ten skills, and these two are powerful figures. Whether it is a mace or a sledgehammer, it is not something that ordinary people dare to pick up.When this thing touches the body, either the bone is broken or the brain is cracked.

Zhao Mang and Hua Hong fought a bloody road, picked up Zhou Yanhuan and others and moved towards Huajiazhai.

Just as they turned a detour and were about to enter the avenue, three cold arrows flew over from the bushes on the side and shot straight at Zhou Yanhuan.Zhou Yanhuan wanted to hide in the stirrups to avoid the three arrows, but in a blink of an eye, he caught a glimpse of Chen Wendong next to him.

Without thinking too much, Zhou Yanhuan threw himself to the side and directly pushed Chen Wendong onto the horse's back. In this way, Zhou Yanhuan only dodged two arrows, but one of them hit Zhou Yanhuan's thigh.

Of course, Chen Wendong was unaware of all this, and when he got up from under Zhou Yanhuan, he saw a group of guards panicking and shouting around Zhou Yanhuan.Chen Wendong also saw the short arrow on Zhou Yanhuan's leg.

Thinking about what happened just now, Chen Wendong has already guessed the general outline of the matter.In fact, Zhou Yanhuan was able to dodge the three arrows, but in that case, the three arrows were about to hit Chen Wendong.

From the occurrence to the end of the matter, it took only a moment. Zhou Yanhuan had no time to think and weigh it. It can be said that he did it completely out of instinct.But it was precisely this that moved Chen Wendong.

Chen Wendong quickly hugged Zhou Yanhuan, helped him off the horse, and sent him to the carriage.

Zhou Yanhuan looked at Chen Wendong and smirked, "Hehehe, Xiaodongzi, I finally saved you once."

Chen Wendong gave him an angry look, "Don't worry about it! There is still blood on this leg. If you are not honest, you don't have to go to Huajiazhai, you will bleed to death!"

Zhou Yanhuan was not angry when he heard this, "Little Dongzi, it's been a few years! I finally saw you without a mask. It was worth it!"

Chen Wendong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and continued to stop Zhou Yanhuan from bleeding.

At the juncture of life and death, Zhou Yanhuan was able to sacrifice his life to save him, which shows his deep affection for himself.It would be a lie to say that he was not moved, but after being moved, Chen Wendong was a little at a loss.So what if he is moved again?Would it be okay to let him and Zhou Yanhuan restore the old ones?Chen Wendong asked himself, he still couldn't do it.

A group of people rushed to Huajiazhai, hurried to find a doctor, and prepared wound medicine.After the wound was treated, Zhou Yanhuan had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Chen Wendong stepped forward to pat Zhou Yanhuan, but saw that he did not respond at all. Chen Wendong patted Zhou Yanhuan again, but Zhou Yanhuan still did not respond.Chen Wendong panicked and felt that something was wrong, so he quickly called the doctor to ask.

Seeing this situation, Langzhong shook his head helplessly, "I see the pulse condition of young master, it is a disease of frail qi deficiency, but looking at the situation of young master, I am afraid that he has been poisoned by some strange poison. As for what kind of poison, I am incompetent, it is really a diagnosis. Can’t come out. Everyone needs to make plans early!”

When Chen Wendong heard this, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. If Zhou Yanhuan died like this, Chen Wendong would never feel at ease in his life.

After calming down for a while, Chen Wendong found all the people who knew the truth, ordered them to be guarded in the cottage, and asked Huahong and Zhao Mang to deliver the letter in person on Ganges Island.

In the middle of the night that night, Mr. Liu, Master Song, Tan Dayong and the elders of An Pavilion all rushed to Huajiazhai.

Mr. Liu gave Zhou Yanhuan his pulse, and his face sank immediately, "Your Majesty is indeed poisoned, and the poison is not ordinary!" After speaking, Mr. Liu glared fiercely at Chen Wendong, "Chen Wendong, what are you doing? The one who protects the king? He actually got hurt and got poisoned so badly!

The king worries about the labor of the minister, and the king humiliates the minister to death!Now the king is seriously injured, but you are standing here, you are really good! "

Chen Wendong narrowed his eyes and thought, if the old man knew that Zhou Yanhuan was injured to save him, he would have to beheaded.In this era, there are differences between monarchs and ministers. Even if Chen Wendong is no longer Zhou Yanhuan's courtier, Chen Wendong can't stay out of the matter when something like Zhou Yanhuan happens.

Hearing what Mr. Liu said, Master Song couldn't help but argue for Chen Wendong: "Actually, we can't blame Xiaodongzi for this matter. It's not like we don't know about Xiaodongzi's kung fu. Besides, there are two hundred soldiers Well, they can't stop it, Xiaodongzi is even more useless."

Tan Dayong also echoed: "Yes, yes! Sir, tell me, what kind of poison has the king been poisoned? How to solve it?"

Mr. Liu closed his eyes fiercely, and said helplessly: "I know about this poison. I also know who can detoxify it, but it is really tricky to find someone who can detoxify it." After speaking, Mr. Liu looked at Master Song, "My lord has also been poisoned by this poison."

After listening to Master Song, he was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't dare to say anything: "Could it be... Could it be..."

Mr. Liu nodded, and then heaved a long sigh.

After Master Song was shocked, he was furious, "It's Zhou Yanhao again! Such a vicious heart! Such a powerful poison!"

Seeing them blindly playing charades, Chen Wendong couldn't help saying angrily: "Sir, what's going on? You just said that the king's poison can be cured, but why are you so embarrassed?"

Mr. Liu paused for a moment before he said: "This matter involves a royal secret, and the old prince had an order back then that anyone who leaked it would be killed without mercy, so even the king didn't know about it.

But now it is about the life and death of the king and the survival of the Zhou family, and I have to violate the strict order of the prince. If the prince is alive in heaven, I hope he will not blame us.

It was rumored outside that when the prince was suppressing the rebellion of the Li clan, he accidentally fell from his horse, hurt his life, and could no longer act as a human being. That's why the emperor adopted the second prince Zhou Yanhao to the prince at that time, continuing the incense of the prince's line.

In fact, not so.When the prince was suppressing the rebellion, he was indeed accidentally injured, but instead of falling off his horse, he was injured by a back arrow. The situation was exactly the same as that of the king.

Since the prince was out on the march at that time, even though he fell asleep for a day and a night, he was considered exhausted, so he didn't pay attention to this matter after waking up, and treated it as an ordinary wound.However, after the rebellion was eliminated, the prince could no longer conduct human affairs.

Everyone thought of the prince's coma for a day and a night, so they pointed their doubts at this arrow.According to the analysis of the battlefield situation at that time, we found that this incident was very strange. The arrow was shot from the rear of the army.Then, the ones who did this murder were either spies who infiltrated our army, or our own people.

The symptoms of this poison are very mild. The poisoned person only sleeps for a day and a night. After waking up, he is no different from ordinary people. Ordinary doctors can't even make a diagnosis, so how can we talk about detoxification?We secretly visited famous doctors and prepared an antidote, but it has been unsuccessful.

Somehow, the matter was known by the emperor, and many imperial doctors were sent over, but they were helpless.It was only later that we realized that this was nothing to do, it was clearly trying to cover up.

After many twists and turns, we learned from a barbarian that there is a Vientiane Mountain in the southwest, and there is a Lingyan Temple in the mountain. The presiding master in the temple is a master of detoxification.

Brother Song and I inquired a few times, and finally found the abbot of the temple, but no matter how much we asked, he refused to help.We spent more than half a month in the temple, and when we planned to take him back to the northwest by force, the abbot agreed again.

After the antidote was formulated, the old host once mentioned the origin of the poison to us.

The name of this medicine is 'cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots', and it is an extremely poisonous medicine.People who take this medicine, if they do not excrete the toxins out of the body within two years, will be unable to perform human affairs for life, and if the toxins are allowed to remain in the body, it will also lead to premature death.Even if the toxin is removed, it will be difficult for a woman to conceive in the future.

According to the old abbot, this poison was a secret medicine in the palace of the former dynasty, which was specially used to deal with those courtiers who had different intentions. After the former dynasty fell, the medicine fell into the hands of the holy grandfather.

Only then did we understand the truth of the matter. It turned out that it was the emperor who poisoned and murdered the old prince.

After the prince knew the truth, he was furious and once wanted to raise troops, but we persuaded him to stop.One is that the timing is not ripe enough, and the other is that the host once said that after the poison is cured, it will take several years of conditioning before the woman can conceive.We thought, when the lord's body is recuperated and he has children, it will not be too late to make great achievements.

Unexpectedly, while the prince was recuperating his body, the emperor and the princess colluded internally and externally, forcing Zhou Yanhao to be adopted by the prince.Originally, the prince and the princess were at odds, but after this incident, the two broke up completely.

What everyone didn't expect was that after breaking up with the prince, the princess became so mad that she poisoned the prince's food!If we hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.In a fit of rage, the prince broke the princess's legs and wanted to execute her. Later, the emperor sent someone to have a secret talk with the prince, and the matter was settled.

The prince was originally poisoned, but after the second poisoning, his body was seriously injured.After several times of begging, the old abbot of Lingyan Temple re-prepared the antidote for the prince.After the remaining toxins in the prince's body were exhausted, and after more than ten years of recuperation, the king was born.

It's a pity that although the prince has great ambitions, he has a lot of fate and has no destiny in this world. Before the king was born, he died at the hands of the southwestern rebels. "

Mr. Liu was silent for a long time after he finished talking about the past, Master Song, Tan Dayong and others were also silent.

After hearing this, Chen Wendong clicked his tongue secretly, saying that there is nothing more ruthless than the emperor's family, and it seems that it is true.In the face of imperial power, blood relationship has always been vulnerable. In order to obtain the supreme power, people can do everything they can.The old emperor is like this, so is the princess and Zhou Yanhao, so why not the old prince?If it wasn't for the old prince's heart of disobedience, how could such disasters have happened?

Chen Wendong looked at Zhou Yanhuan, who was still unconscious on the bed, and stopped his wild thoughts, "Sir, you said that the old abbot of Lingyan Temple can cure this poison, but you don't know where this Lingyan Temple is? Is the old abbot still alive?" In this world?"

Mr. Liu sighed and said worriedly: "That's what I'm worried about. When I went to seek the antidote, the old host was over sixty years old, and his beard and eyebrows were all white. From then to now, more than thirty years have passed. In [-], the old abbot may have passed away long ago. During this period of war and chaos, and the changes in the world, whether Lingyan Temple can survive is still unknown."

When Chen Wendong heard this, his heart sank. If the old host really passed away, wouldn't Zhou Yanhuan be hopeless?But Chen Wendong thought about it again, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart, "Everyone, don't be discouraged, even if the old abbot has passed away, there should be someone who can inherit the mantle. There should be a teacher to find.

Taking a step back, even if everyone is dead, we still have two years to go. I don't believe that there are so many capable people in the world, and no one can develop the antidote!

The top priority right now is to find an antidote, and to stabilize the situation, we must not let this matter spread.

When the king wakes up, hurry up and escort the king back to Ganges Island.If the king does not return for a long time, the people below will inevitably become suspicious.Although the king's power is great, the foundation is not stable enough. Many generals will rebel soon if they are not careful.There is a king sitting in the town of Ganges Island, even if they hear some rumors, they dare not act rashly.

In addition, the people in the palace should be checked carefully, especially the people around the prince, the two young masters and the young lady. If there is anyone acting suspiciously, they must be controlled as soon as possible.The guards in the palace should also be strengthened. It is best to send a few more people to protect the king, son, and lady. They should also pay attention to their food and clothing, especially the things at the entrance, which must be strictly inspected!

That's all I can think of, what else do you want to add? "

Mr. Liu took a deep look at Chen Wendong and shook his head, "What you said is very comprehensive. The specific matters can only be arranged after returning to Ganges Island."

Chen Wendong nodded, "Well, since everyone has nothing to add, let's discuss going to Lingyan Temple. Both Mr. Liu and Master Song have been to Lingyan Temple, and one of you must want to go to Lingyan Temple." to go.

In my opinion, it is more appropriate for Master Song to go. For one thing, it is a long journey to Lingyan Temple. Master Song is a martial artist at least, and his body is strong, so he can withstand long distances.Second, the king now needs Mr. Liu to take care of him, and the palace also needs someone who can hold his ground. "

Everyone agreed with Chen Wendong's proposal.

At this time, Mr. Liu said to Chen Wendong: "Little Dongzi, I know you have no intention of returning to the army, but after all, you and Your Majesty are a monarch and a minister. Now that Your Majesty is in trouble, I hope you can see it based on your past affection." , go with Master Song."

Master Song followed suit and said, "Yes, Xiaodongzi, the arrangement you made just now is very sound. When it's time to do your best, you can't just sit by and watch. You are a wise star in the army and a well-known lucky general. I will definitely go with you. An antidote can be found."

Chen Wendong waved his hands and said helplessly: "You don't have to do this, I originally wanted to go with Master Song." In fact, even if everyone didn't let Chen Wendong go, Chen Wendong would definitely go.Zhou Yanhuan was ambushed to see him, and he was injured to save him. From these two points alone, Chen Wendong could not ignore Zhou Yanhuan.

Now that a decision has been made, it is natural to start as soon as possible.When Chen Wendong returned home, he first entrusted the three children to his father and the owner of Huazhai, then packed a package and left in a hurry.

At dawn, Chen Wendong, Master Song, and Wang Yanzhi who came in a hurry, a group of more than ten people galloped towards the southwest.
