Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 22
Immediately, a soldier rushed out from the left and right, promised, and quickly ran out of the tent, and then the sound of fast horses galloping came, and the sound became farther and farther away.

After Cao Bin looked at Ye Chen carefully again, he suddenly remembered something, and said, "I remember that I sent a deputy commander to Yongle border city to deliver secret orders to Liu Nan and his party spies. Go and call the deputy commander here. , to see if he has seen this son."

Not long after, the deputy commander who had met Liu Nan in the border city of Yongle came to the commander's tent, recognized Ye Chen, and told all the things he knew about Ye Chen's relationship with Liu Nan and the sale of private salt in detail. out.

Just as Cao Bin and others were discussing the authenticity of this information, Qian Yi, the imperial doctor who accompanied Emperor Song to the Northern Expedition, came.

Before Qian Yiyin could see what the alive and kicking Cao Bin said, Cao Bin very politely and quickly explained the cause and effect and the serious relationship among them.

In fact, when Cao Bin was halfway through the matter, Qian Yi's attention was already on Ye Chen. From his expression, everyone knew that this imperial doctor, known as a genius doctor, was already very interested in Ye Chen. big interest.

This imperial doctor is not an ordinary imperial doctor, let alone an ordinary doctor, but Qian Yi, who is known as the great doctor of Song Dynasty.Zhao Kuangyin's trust is won by his excellent medical skills.

Qian Yi first took the pulse, then opened Ye Chen's eyelids, opened Ye Chen's mouth, and after careful inspection, he frowned and thought for a while, and said to himself with an unbelievable expression: "This son's coma time should be between the [-]th and [-]th. In between. I’m not sure if I drank water, but I never ate anything during the period.”

When Qian Yi said the diagnosis result, it was naturally very convincing, and no one doubted the time of Ye Chen's coma.

"According to what Dr. Qian said, there is nothing wrong. But how can we determine the authenticity of this military situation?" Cao Bin said.

Seeing Cao Bin speak, Qian Yi, who had been frowning in thought, suddenly brightened his eyes, and said, "The old man has thought of a way, maybe he can wake this boy up."

Cao Bin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Mr. Qian, please hurry up and wake this son up."

Qian Yi nodded, then turned around and said to a fierce general who was about to back off: "This general stays behind, I still need the general's help in this matter."

The fierce general stopped and turned around, with an uplifted expression, he said: "Doctor Qian needs me to help you."

Qian Yi said: "The general is born with supernatural power at first glance, so he should be able to do this. Um... please general, just hold this kid's hands and feet down."

As soon as the fierce general heard that Miracle Doctor Qian praised his natural supernatural power, he happily agreed, and stepped forward. First, he put Ye Chen's hands together on his lower abdomen, pressed one big hand, and pressed the other hand and his arm on Ye Chen. At the ankles of both feet.

At this time, Qian Yi had already taken out several silver needles from the medical box, carefully scanned Ye Chen's body with his eyes, and then shot three silver needles on Ye Chen's body like lightning, which seemed to be one of the three acupuncture points. superior.

A weird scene happened.

Following the three needles, Ye Chen's body shook suddenly, and then the fierce general let out a strange cry, and flew out with a bang, knocking over the two generals beside him.

The three rolled into a ball, but no one paid any attention to the three of them at this time.Everyone surrounded him and stared at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's consciousness seemed to be at the bottom of the darkest and deepest ocean, gradually rising up, floating like a rootless duckweed, his thoughts gradually condensed, his body gradually warmed up from the cold, and finally let out a groan, opened his eyes eyes.

As far as the eye can see, there are several heads and faces that faintly look like tent roofs through the gaps, but Ye Chen doesn't know whether this is a dream or reality.

Ye Chen lay on the ground and stared at everyone in a daze. Everyone stood or crouched and stared at Ye Chen with scrutiny and curiosity.

Ye Chen felt extremely strange at this time, because he had an experience of coming to this era inexplicably, so although he gradually determined that what he saw should be a real scene, he was still a little uncertain whether he was still in the early Northern Song Dynasty .

The light inside the tent was not strong, but Ye Chen couldn't bear it, so he quickly closed his eyes and took a quick breath.

Why are you here?Or is it not in the Northern Song Dynasty?You won't travel through time and space again, will you?
Ye Chen opened his eyes again, and said, "You..." But speaking suddenly became extremely difficult, and his voice reached his throat, turning into a groan.

"You guys are still not backing away!" Cao Bin was a little dissatisfied, and said with a cold snort.

Except for Qian Yi and Cao Bin, the others quickly retreated to their positions.

"Give him some water first." Qian Yi's eyes were like lightning, and he saw that Ye Chen hadn't spoken for many days and his voice was hoarse, so it was hard to say.

Cao Bin's soldiers quickly took the porcelain cup, stepped forward to help Ye Chen up, and fed Ye Chen with water.Ye Chen was still in a daze at this moment, but his body instinctively lacked water, so he drank a glass of water in one gulp.Then he took a long breath and looked at Cao Bin and Qian Yi in a daze.

"Who are you? What is this place? Why am I here?" Before Cao Bin could ask, Ye Chen spoke first, but his voice was hoarse.He was still in a trance, otherwise he would be able to roughly see who these people were by looking at the attire of the people around him.

"You fell into the river and were saved by us. So we are your saviors." Cao Bin said, staring at Ye Chen's face closely.

Ye Chen was taken aback when he heard the words, as if he had just come back to his senses, and only then did he faintly remember that he seemed to have rushed into the river.

He glanced at Cao Bin, then glanced at the crowd, and couldn't help being startled again. After a while, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and he said, "This is in the military camp? I wonder if it is the army of that country?"

"This commander is Cao Bin, the envoy of the Southern Academy of Xuanhui of the Great Song Dynasty. You are now in the camp of the Northern Camp of the Great Song Dynasty." Cao Bin said simply and appalled.

Ye Chen was startled when he heard the words, and then shocked.He had heard the name of Cao Bin in later generations, and he was the No.1 general in the early Northern Song Dynasty. As far as she knew, Cao Bin made great military exploits for Song Taizu to destroy the kingdoms and unify the Central Plains and the South. After his death, he was even posthumously granted the title of prince.

Ye Chen didn't dare to neglect, so he wanted to get up from the stretcher to pay his respects, but suddenly, he staggered and fell to the ground again.

It wasn't because he was injured or too weak, but because he hadn't moved for a long time, his muscles were a little stiff, and when he moved suddenly, his legs were uncomfortable.

Cao Bin witnessed the whole process after Ye Chen woke up, and he no longer doubted that Ye Chen would be a spy from the Northern Han Dynasty or Khitan.

At this time, he stepped forward to help Ye Chen up, motioned to the soldiers to bring a chair for Ye Chen to sit down, and asked, "Who is the little brother? What happened? How did you fall into the river and became unconscious?"

At this time, Ye Chen's thoughts turned, and when he got up just now, he touched his chest, and he already knew that the information he had obtained from Liu Nan had fallen into the hands of Cao Bin in front of him.But he didn't know that he had been in a coma for more than ten days, he didn't eat anything, but nothing happened, and these people used great efforts to wake him up.

Otherwise, he might have a headache how to explain it, so that people won't treat him as a monster or a different kind.

Of course, for people of this era, Ye Chen is indeed an outlier.

With the above judgment, Ye Chen had a general idea. Anyway, he was sending the information, so he said: "I think you have seen the information on me and Liu Nan's reconnaissance badge."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, and Cao Bin's eyes flashed brightly, saying: "Little brother is quick-witted, that's true! This military matter is of great importance. After the commander-in-chief confirms the authenticity, he must report it to the officials as soon as possible. Do So I ask the little brother to inform the general in detail about the process of obtaining the information and the reconnaissance token, as well as his own identity."

Ye Chen was taken aback, thinking that Cao Bin was already the most powerful general among generals?Why is there a boss, so he casually asked: "Who is the official?"

Everyone was also taken aback, Cao Bin said: "Of course the official is His Majesty, Emperor Song."

Ye Chen suddenly remembered the scene in a certain Song Dynasty TV series that he had seen, the emperor was sometimes called the official family, not just the majesty in most dynasties.

Ye Chen nodded, and continued: "I am a businessman in Yongle Border City, and I am a clerk in the salt shop where Liu Nan works. My name is Ye Chen. I have lived in the mountains with my teacher since I was a child, and I don't know much about human affairs. Half a year ago, After the death of the family teacher, Ye Chen came down to Yongle Border Town after three months of guarding the spirit of the deceased teacher, and first got involved in the affairs of the world, lived in Yongle Border Town for half a year, and met Liu Nan."

Everyone, including Cao Bin and Qian Yi, couldn't help showing such a sudden look on their faces when they heard the words.I thought that the young man in front of me and his master were probably unborn strangers or masters.

Cao Bin stared deeply at Ye Chen for a while, and said, "Ye Chen! I ask you, why don't you know who the officials are referring to?" The emperors of the countries that successively occupied the Central Plains were called officials.However, the Daliao and Northern Han in the far north, as well as some Chinese emperors around the Song Dynasty, did not call them this way. They followed the ancient system of the Han and Tang Dynasties and were only called Your Majesty.

Ye Chen was stunned, but bit the bullet, and said: "When I heard the master talk about some emperors in the world, the emperor was always called 'Your Majesty', and I really didn't know the name 'Official'."

"The term 'Your Majesty' is also used in the current world, but the word 'official' is added, um... So, you have never been out of the mountain half a year ago. You have never come to the world. Then the salt you sell Where did it come from?" Cao Bin asked.

Ye Chen was kind, nodded and said: "I have never been out of the mountains in the past six months. As for the salt, I found a salt pond near the border city of Yongle and refined it from it."

Cao Bin nodded, as if he had initially believed Ye Chen's self-proclaimed identity.The next step is to judge the authenticity of the military situation.As for what Ye Chen said about making salt, he didn't think much about it, thinking that what Ye Chen found was a good salt pond, not a poisonous salt pond.

"Ye Chen! You hand over the process of spy Liu Nan's investigation of the military situation to you, and tell the general in detail." Cao Bin said.

Ye Chen had expected this a long time ago, and taking advantage of the time just now, he had already prepared a draft in his heart, so he told it without hesitation.There are some differences between the natural and the real situation. For example, he did not mention the Tianxing jade pendant still hanging around his neck, but replaced it with a treasure handed down by his master, and said that it had been snatched away by Yu Daoxiang, Si Luoyi and Guo Wuwei. .

The process Ye Chen said is quite mysterious, but Si Luoyi and Guo Wuwei are quite famous, Guo Wuwei needless to say, as the first assistant prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, with power in the court, he can be called half the ruler of the Northern Han Dynasty .Moreover, as far as Cao Bin knew, Guo Wuwei was indeed a Taoist priest, and he was taught by Zhang Wumeng, the head teacher of the Northern Taiping Sect, and he also knew that he mysteriously disappeared from Jinyang City a few days ago.And Nasi Luoyi is not an ordinary person. According to folk rumors, both of these two people and their respective masters have the power to reach the sky.

In addition, everyone contacted Master Ye Chen before contacting the world, thinking that he was carrying the treasure of Taoism and staying in the deep mountains to avoid disasters, but the apprentice couldn't bear the loneliness and brought the treasure out of the mountain, but was caught by the wrongdoers. Someone stared at him and almost lost his life.But in any case, Ye Chen's identity issue has been preliminarily settled.This also preliminarily confirmed that the information found on Ye Chen's body was not a trick of the enemy.
