Chapter 57

Yan Yuan has been smart since she was a child, she can basically learn everything she is interested in, whether it is dancing swords, or marching, she can learn well, and she has read a lot of military books .

There was only one incident that gave Yan Zhou a headache.

In the early years, he drove away all the people who came to ask for baby kisses. When he was outside the customs, a few boys from his old friends wanted to come to play at home, and he also watched closely from the side.When she was 13 years old, he wanted to let his wife give some advice, but he didn't expect that she ran away from home.

After a few years, the wind and clouds are gone.

When we met again, she was already a slim and tall girl, she spoke softly, walked weakly, was sickly and slender, but she had the appearance of a lady.

only……

I don't know if it's because of the lack of a loving mother, or because she has lost her way in the military camp, she doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in the love of her children.

He looked completely clueless.

Yan Yuan like this entered the palace, she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.

Yan Zhou stared at the gentle and dignified daughter in front of him, frowned and rubbed the center of his brows.

The last pot of tea finally bottomed out.

In the end, Yan Zhou failed to persuade Yan Yuan to go back outside the pass, so he could only bid farewell to his daughter with lowered eyelids.Originally, he didn't have much hope today, but he has really come to this point, and he is still a little helpless.

After much deliberation, there was nothing to say, Yan Zhou sighed: "Don't suffer."

Yan Yuan said: "Okay."

She sent her father to the gate of the palace, and finally felt some reluctance in her heart.

After all, half of her father's hair was gray. She was dying that year, and he rushed to the medicine house overnight at 20 miles away. Countless gray hairs grew by the bed overnight, as if [-] years had been stolen by God.

In the past few years, he also used a lot of expensive medicines, but he still couldn't go back after all.

Yan Yuan was not a coy person, seeing that her father really seemed to be an old man, Yan Yuan's breathing still paused.

Unhappy.

Yan Yuan watched her father step into the carriage.

Yan Zhou turned his head back on the carriage, saw his daughter standing in the wind, was silent for a while, and sneered, "Look a little longer, I'll have someone tie you into the carriage."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Zhou: "Go in while I haven't changed my mind."

Yan Yuan: "..."

If you don't let it go, don't let it go.

Yan Yuan turned around and walked to the palace, but before she had gone far, she saw two familiar figures running towards her from a distance.

The leader was Xiaoyu, she looked flustered, and shouted as she ran, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Yan Yuan collected herself: "What happened?"

Xiao Yu said anxiously: "That, that big man named Qiu Yu, he's awake!"

Yan Yuan looked at Xiao Yu suspiciously.

Isn't it good to wake up?
Fortunately, Xiaoyu is still following Chen Niang.

Chen Niang just caught up with her footsteps, she was still panting, she calmed down for a while before she said: "Qiu Yu woke up about two hours ago, although his life was saved, but...he doesn't want to be treated any more."

At this time, two days and one night had passed since Qiu Yu hit the arrow.

Doctor Luo wanted to accompany Sheng Jia, so it was Chen Niang who treated the injured bodyguards for the past two days.The rest of the bodyguards had minor injuries, only Qiu Yu's injury was very troublesome.

Although his bleeding has stopped, the residual poison has not been completely removed.

He has a special physique, once bleeding, it is extremely difficult to stop the bleeding, the last time he used fire to bake the wound to stop the bleeding was already a crooked way, Chen Niang dared not take the risk again, so she could only use silver needles to draw the poison from the viscera to the limbs.

"Although my life is saved now, all the poison has gathered in my fingers."

"The servant girl and Luo Yuyi tried several methods, pricking their fingers to let blood out, but there are still two fingers that cannot be undone, and the only way to save their lives is to amputate them."

"Qiu Yu refused to cut off his fingers."

Chen Niang sighed, her face full of helplessness.

The doctor's parents thought that if there were other ways, she would definitely not make people disabled. Right now, there is really no other way. If you keep pointing out, the poison will eventually kill him slowly.

After Yan Yuan listened quietly, she asked Chen Niang: "Which two fingers?"

There was doubt on Chen Niang's face: "It's just the little finger and the ring finger."

Little finger and ring finger?

Yan Yuan was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood.

Presumably, when Chen Niang used the silver needle to induce poison, she also considered which finger to induce.For ordinary people, among the five fingers, the thumb is the most important, followed by the index finger and middle finger, and the remaining two fingers are slightly less useful.

But Qiu Yu was no ordinary person.

He is the emperor's personal guard, a man who is accustomed to using swords.

For him, if these two fingers are useless, he will no longer be able to hold the sword steadily, and the martial arts of this body will be equivalent to useless, of course he doesn't want to.

Yan Yuan asked Chen Niang: "Can I only cut off my fingers? What will happen if I continue?"

Chen Niang said: "The toxin enters the veins of the heart and slowly dies within two years."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Chen Niang: "Your Majesty?"

Yan Yuan said softly, "Take Ben Gong to have a look."

……

The wing room was very quiet, only the setting sun fell on the window lattice.

Yan Yuan didn't disturb anyone when she entered, she walked slowly to the bedside following light and dust.

It was against the rules for the queen to visit the injured bodyguard, but Qiu Yu was Yan Yuan's savior, so it was justified both emotionally and rationally.

The room was a bit messy, there were many gauze plasters lying on the floor, and a broken porcelain bowl, it seemed that Qiu Yu had a quarrel not long ago.

At this moment, he was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, exhaustion was written on his blue-gray face, but he still heard the sound, and opened his eyes vigilantly.

Yan Yuan stood beside his bed, watching him quietly.

Qiu Yu's eyes widened.

He was just stunned for a moment, and immediately struggled to get up: "This subordinate... this subordinate kowtows..."

Yan Yuan hurriedly pressed his shoulders: "Excuse me, excuse me! Lie down!"

Qiu Yu was shocked and lay back on the bed stiffly, not daring to move.

This is against the rules.

Enough for him to go to the Department of Internal Affairs to receive eighty army sticks.

Qiu Yu suppressed his breathing, his eyes almost burst open, and then he squeezed out a few words from the bottom of his throat: "Mother... Please let go... This is not..."

Yan Yuan said: "If you don't move, I will let go."

Qiu Yu said with difficulty: "This subordinate... obeys orders."

Yan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew her hand, and looked down at Qiu Yu.

She didn't use much strength just now, but she simply held Qiu Yu down, which shows that his body is extremely weak right now.

He only has half his life left, but he still has time to remember some rituals. He really deserves to be a servant in the palace.

Yan Yuan sighed in her heart, and said softly: "You saved Bengong's life, and I haven't thanked you well yet, what wish do you have?"

Qiu Yugao said: "This is the responsibility of the subordinates, there is no need to..."

Yan Yuan said: "Responsibilities and rewards do not conflict, what's more, what I want to give you is not a reward, but to repay your life-saving grace."

Qiu Yu stared blankly at Yan Yuan, seemingly unable to understand her words.

Yan Yuan was persuasive and persuasive: "For example, you can ask Ben Gong for valuable things. If Ben Gong refuses to agree, it means that Ben Gong's life is worthless."

Qiu Yu: "..."

He was confused, and his face also showed a confused look.

He didn't actually say a few words to her.

When she came to the gate of the Qianzheng Hall, she always greeted her simply, and she never messed around.

She often just cherishes words like gold and waits quietly.

Those bright sunshine and mottled sycamore leaves are just still pictures in his memory.

But just now, she seemed to have said a lot.

He couldn't hear a word, and could only stare blankly at her.

It took me a long time to remember to reply to her: "Subordinates...the responsibility lies."

Yan Yuan: "..."

Yan Yuan sighed inwardly.

This man, I really don't know whether he is loyal or stupid.

If this were placed in Jianboying, it would not be the result like this.

Back then, Qin Jianyue was also shot in the chest by an arrow.The first thing he did when he woke up after regaining his life was to hold onto Ji Fei's belt and cry for half an hour, tears and snot all over Ji Fei's body, and successfully abducted half a year's worth of wine and tea from Ji Fei's tent.

But Qiu Yu was her savior after all.

This savior is now determined to die.

Yan Yuan thought for a while, and said in a roundabout way: "I heard that you are guards. It takes three years to change your grade, and your monthly salary depends on the grade... I can't raise your grade, but if you are willing to apply for Transfer to the City Defense Army..."

The agreement between the old fox and the queen mother was only private after all.

Now the old fox is still the commander of the city defense army, and it is easy to be promoted to a guard.

"...don't bother your lady."

Qiu Yu finally understood Yan Yuan's words, it turned out that she wanted to promise him a future.

He gave a wry smile and shook his head.

"But I don't like to owe people favors."

"That's...not necessary."

Qiu Yu's eyes gradually darkened.

Yan Yuan looked at his fingers, and sure enough, she saw two fingers on each of his left and right hands showing black.

Qiu Yu noticed Yan Yuan's gaze, clenched his fists tightly, hid the two blackened fingers, and lowered his head quickly.

Yan Yuan pretended not to see it, and said lightly: "You mean that Ben Gong's life is worthless, so there is no need to repay the favor?"

Qiu Yu raised his head suddenly: "This subordinate dare not!"

Yan Yuan: "Then why did you reject Bengong?"

Qiu Yu opened his mouth, finally made up his mind, and spoke with difficulty:
"This subordinate may...not live long."

"...Your Majesty, there is no need to do so much."

"This injury...it's just a job performance...the empress doesn't have to worry about it."

Qiu Yu's voice became intermittent and became deeper and deeper.

It could be seen that he really didn't want to live anymore, no matter what conditions she offered, they couldn't arouse his interest at all.

Yan Yuan thought for a while, and said: "But life is the most precious, if you give it up, you will lose it."

"But this subordinate's hands are useless." Qiu Yu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were all red. He said in a hoarse voice, "This subordinate... can no longer perform his duties."

He was originally a handy weapon, but he was selected by the Luo Ziqiu Forbidden Army and entered into the personal guard of the Holy Majesty today.

But now the weapon is broken, no matter how it is put together, it is a waste.

He has no relatives outside the imperial city, neither worries nor responsibilities, and the rest of his life is just waiting to rot slowly.

If something is broken, if no one picks it up.

Throwing it away is the best ending.

Qiu Yu's face was lifeless, and his voice was calm: "Your subordinates are useless."

Yan Yuan still remembers the first time she saw him.

At that time, he was standing at the gate of Qianzheng Hall. Although his face was ashen, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and there was an arrogance in his eyes that many guards never had.

But now that arrogance is gone.

There was only a touch of gray in his eyes.

Yan Yuan looked at him, and suddenly felt as if she was a world away.

She thought for a while and asked him, "Have you ever been on a battlefield?"

Qiu Yu slightly opened his eyes and shook his head.

Yan Yuan stared at Qiu Yu's dark eyes, and said softly, "When the two armies are fighting, the Vanguard Battalion suffers the most casualties."

"When the battle is over, the victorious side will clean up the battlefield and will always find some mutilated and dying vanguard soldiers."

"Many of them are looking for death and life, so the military doctors will not treat them immediately, but will only stop the bleeding for them, and then let them lie outside the military tent."

"After a few rains and a few meals of hunger, they will beg the military doctor for help."

"At that time, the possibility of being saved is the greatest."

Qiu Yu's eyes froze on Yan Yuan's face.

He seemed to have listened to it, but also seemed to be just staring at Yan Yuan in a daze.

Yan Yuan smiled at him: "Do you know why the possibility of saving lives is the greatest at that time?"

why?
Qiu Yu opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Yan Yuan understood.

She said lightly: "Because only when a person is dying is the time when he wants to live the most in his life."

The body is damaged on the battlefield, and the heart is desperate.

After being brought back to the barracks, most of them didn't want to live anymore.

The military doctors paid a huge price, and the people who managed to get back from the gate of hell were very easy to give up because of themselves, and finally fell short of their efforts.

Repeatedly for many years, military doctors gradually found the secret to treating seriously injured soldiers: only after being exposed to the rain and waiting for death can the greatest desire to survive be aroused.

"As far as I know, there has never been a soldier who was committed to death and remained consistent."

"Don't you have to wait until two years later to verify?"

Yan Yuan's eyes wandered away and landed on Qiu Yu's hand, and said softly:
"It's just a few fingers now, and I don't know what other pains there will be in the future. Instead of being drenched in the rain for two years, why not try to survive first?"

"It's better for you to treat it first, if you still don't want to survive after two years..."

Yan Yuan bent down to look into Qiu Yu's eyes, and said word by word:

"I will fulfill you personally."

As the sun sets, the dust settles on the window lattice.

Qiu Yu stopped breathing, staring at Yan Yuan's face in a daze.

He never dared to look her in the eye, this was the first time he saw her eyes clearly.

It was completely different from what he had imagined.

It's not that she is weak with fallen leaves and branches, her eyes are clear and bright, just like the scorching sun pushing away the clouds and mist, and the sky is gloomy.

How could she be the one waiting outside the Ganzheng Palace?
Obviously, in his memory, there are two different people.

Qiu Yu was in a daze.

He just stared at her blankly like this, and for some reason, the hostility raging in his chest suddenly found an outlet to vent.

He lay on the bed and let out a long sigh.

The voice is hoarse.

"it is good."
