The reborn abandoned woman reigns

Chapter 163
"We are really proud today, and now the people in the capital can feel at ease, and we, Long Rui, are united as one!"

"Ha, let me see, then Xu Zizheng is just a scholar, how can he transport troops to fight? It's just a vanguard, so they will be beaten to death. If the two armies confront each other, it will not be easy to defeat them Defeated? I really look forward to that day!"

"I think that Xu Shikang is also an old fool. With this little ability, he has the nerve to set up his own family. Could it be that he thinks that everyone else is a stone man who has never seen the world? He really underestimated us!"

Everyone was chatting happily, but Sima Xukong was unusually calm.

Seeing this, Gu Shiyong couldn't help asking: "What is the prince worried about?"

Gently exhaling, Sima Xukong's face was as calm as water, and said: "I always feel that Xu Zizheng is not such a person who is eager for quick success, and he made this move, and it seems that he did not get any benefits on the surface. He has no reason to do so." Did it. It seems that there is something that we have all ignored, but this step is very important."

Bao'er was also standing behind Sima Xukong. Hearing such words, he felt inexplicable for a while, unable to understand what Sima Xukong wanted to say.However, Gu Shiyong understood his worries. It just so happened that he also felt that this inexplicable provocation was strange. Instead of finding out anything, the other party damaged the management of the first team and lost morale.This is not something that Xu Zizheng, who was famous for his talent and learning, can do at all. Even if he doesn't know the art of war, he should know the strategy, and he will not do such a stupid thing.

But what is he planning?What can he gain from this unsuccessful raid?
Bao'er saw that these two people were silent, and it was not easy to disturb her, so she backed away silently, thinking that the prince must be sleepless again tonight.

After everything was settled, everyone went down the tower one after another, intending to go back to their tents to rest.But just under the tower, a man who looked like a small soldier ran over in a panic, and when he saw Sima Xukong, he knelt down with a "thump", his face was as pale as paper, and he said in a trembling voice: "My lord, you Hurry back and have a look, He Nuo has been plotted against by someone, he is about to die!"

"What!" Sima Xukong's face tightened, he turned around and straddled his horse, hurried back to the camp.The uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. Thinking of the suspicion just now, Sima Xukong felt that his breathing was about to stop.

Before reaching He Nuo's tent, Sima Xukong smelled a strong smell of blood, which made him frown, and rushed in quickly, and saw the military doctor sitting on a man whose chest was stained red with blood. In front of him, he was constantly treating the wound in his hands, and there were many basins of blood around him, which made people feel shocking.

Frowning deeply, Sima Xukong questioned, "Who can tell me what happened?"

Hearing the voice, the military doctor handed over the matter to the people around him, walked up to Sima Xukong, and said, "Young Master He was stabbed in the chest by a gangster, bleeding profusely, I'm afraid..."

"There is no fear, he is a member of our battalion, no matter what the cost, we must save him!"

The military doctor felt the inexplicable pressure, his shoulders shrank, and then he bent his back and said in a low voice: "Yes."

He raised his eyes and looked at He Nuo who was lying on the bed. He was a lively person in the past, but now he was lying lifeless, motionless.Turning his eyes away with some difficulty, Sima Xukong left the tent, stood outside and asked in a cold voice: "He is fine, how could such a thing happen, who first discovered him?"

"Yes...it was the little one who discovered He Nuo."

A soldier about 16 years old stood up tremblingly, facing Sima Xukong's gloomy gaze, his knees were shaking all the time.

"Okay, tell me, what was the situation at that time!"

"Yes. Little one, I passed by here, and suddenly heard a scream. I was startled in my heart. I was about to go in and have a look, when I saw the craftsman Li Bing running out in a panic, his hands were still stained with blood. Bloodstains! The little one knew that no matter what happened, it must have something to do with Li Bing, so he used all his strength to arrest him."

"Li Bing? He doesn't dare to take a breath on weekdays. How could he have the guts to kill someone?"

Some of the people in the crowd had some impressions of this person, and they were still wondering why he wanted to kill people. Moreover, the two people seemed to have a good relationship on weekdays.
Stretching out his hand to stop everyone's discussion, Sima Xukong asked again: "Where is Li Bingren now, I want to interrogate him personally!"

His body trembled involuntarily again, and the little soldier said tremblingly: "He... After he hurt He Nuo, he killed himself before he had time to interrogate him."

"what?"

When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but burst into an uproar, feeling that the clue that they had finally found had also been interrupted.It seems that there is no way to investigate why Li Bing hurt He Nuo.

Turning around to look at the tent, Gu Shiyong sighed, and said: "The clue is broken, and I don't know whether Li Bing hurt He Nuo because of personal enmity or something else. My lord, if not, let's check again from Li Bing to see if we can find it." What clues are there?"

Hearing this, Xiao Bing bowed and said, "I found a letter in Li Bing's room. I don't know if it's related to this matter."

"Submit it quickly."

"Yes." The soldier quickly took out a crumpled envelope from his pocket, and handed it to Sima Xukong.

After a casual glance, Sima Xukong understood Li Bing's intentions.It turned out that he was Xu Zizheng's secret agent in the capital!Now the question that has been circling in my heart has finally found the answer.It's just that although Li Bing is a craftsman, he doesn't know much about He Nuo, so why did he identify He Nuo and kill him?Who leaked the secret to him?
Frowning tightly, Sima Xukong firmly held the letter in his palm, and ordered in a deep voice: "No matter what, we must save He Nuo!"

"Yes!"

Back in his camp, Sima Xukong sat on a chair tiredly, and before he had rested for a while, someone rushed in again.

"I've heard about He Nuo, how is he doing now?"

Looking at the anxious woman in front of his eyes, Sima Xukong said comfortingly, "The military doctor is doing his best to rescue her, so don't worry too much."

"Why don't I worry, he and Qing'er are going to get married soon, but something happened at this juncture, how do you want me to explain to Qing'er?" When Changsun Jingrong was anxious, her tone would be quick, and she pulled Touching Sima Xukong's sleeve, he said, "I found a doctor in the capital who is good at treating knife wounds. Let him go in and have a look, maybe it can help."

"Okay," Sima Xukong hugged his eldest grandson Jingrong and hurried to the outside of He Nuo's tent. The eldest grandson Jingrong was about to follow the doctor in, but was stopped by Sima Xukong.

"Jingrong, you better not go in, He Nuo's injury is serious, I'm afraid you will feel uncomfortable after seeing it."

"It depends on whether you feel uncomfortable. I introduced him to you. Now that something happened, why don't you just stand by and watch!" Changsun Jingrong said with an attitude, "I'm not so weak, otherwise I would have died ten times a hundred times." !"

Seeing that he couldn't convince Changsun Jingrong at all, Sima Xukong had no choice but to let her go, and he followed without stopping, fearing that Changsun Jingrong would feel uncomfortable seeing such a bloody scene.

The doctor brought by Changsun Jingrong talked with the military doctor, and He Nuo checked his pulse for a while, then turned around and said to Changsun Jingrong: "Princess, this young master's knife wound has injured his meridians, which is already a sign of serious danger. If you can make it through tonight, you will be out of danger, if you can't, you will be doomed."

"Then is there any way to help him survive the difficulties now?"

"I will brew the cold ice balm for the young master and prick the veins on the body for 72 weeks. The rest depends on the young master's own willpower."

Looking at the dying man on the hospital bed, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but recall the first day he saw him.At that time, he was a depressed son-in-law, drunk all day long, without any joy or passion.Ever since he followed him through the rivers and lakes, his whole person has become different. Not only has he found the love of his life, but he has also gained a love.He trusted himself so much, but now, because of his own negligence, he narrowly escaped death.

Thinking of these, Changsun Jingrong's heart ached unbearably.He took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to the doctor. Changsun Jingrong said: "I have a Baiming Pill, which is a great tonic, and it must be able to help him tide over the difficulties."

Hearing this name, the doctor's eyes could not help but brighten, and he said again and again: "This is a rare treasure! The princess is really kind-hearted, and the chances of your son's survival have greatly increased!"

Changsun Jingrong was unable to say anything more, just nodded silently, and left the camp with Sima Xukong.

Sima Xukong saw that the eldest grandson Jingrong was depressed, so he comforted him and said: "Jingrong, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself so much."

"Although it has nothing to do with me, but because of my negligence, he fell into a deep trap." Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Changsun Jingrong said with a frown, "I thought it would be safe in the military camp, but I didn't expect Xu Zizheng's minions have already penetrated here! I also heard that you won the first battle today. I think Xu Zizheng used this battle to attract all of your attention so that he can kill him. Get rid of He Nuo, right? .It’s just, how did they know He Nuo? Didn’t you say that He Nuo’s identity is safe? Isn’t he just a craftsman in the eyes of outsiders?”

A series of questions made Sima Xukong a little ashamed, and he said: "It seems that my secrecy work is not good enough, and Xu Zizheng's people took advantage of the loopholes."

"Have you investigated the person who killed Ho Nuo?"

"Well," Sima Xukong nodded, and said, "He is also a craftsman, if he is a craftsman, he will have more opportunities to find out He Nuo's true role."

"If..." Changsun Jingrong muttered the word playfully, and asked, "Do you have doubts about this conclusion?"

Holding his arms up, Sima Xukong said, "I just feel very strange. I don't think Li Bing is a meticulous worker. He has always been diligent in his work and never showed any flaws. Or, Li Bing is a person who is good at disguising. Be deceived. Or, Li Bing is a scapegoat who blocked a shot for the real secret work!"

After hearing Sima Xukong's words, Changsun Jingrong pondered for a moment, and then said: "After Xu Zizheng rebelled, we sealed off the capital and wanted to send people in from outside, and we still sent them to the barracks. Possibly. You still have a roster in your barracks, and there is a record of when everyone entered the barracks. There should be no fraud. So I think this detailed work is very likely that Xu Zizheng was placed in the barracks before he rebelled. !And this person must be inconspicuous so that he can obtain all kinds of information for him. The rank cannot be too high, so even if it is discovered, not much information will be leaked. And it will be easy to train. Thinking about it this way, Xu Zizheng It seems impossible to know that you will use a small craftsman as an ultimate move, so it is far-fetched for him to keep Li Bing to do fine work."

As if he had received some kind of inspiration, Sima Xukong looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and said, "Jingrong, you are really smart, you have brought up all the things I ignored just now! I think it's strange to find out that He Nuo was injured, but now that you say it like this, a lot of things will be solved!"

Looking at Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong asked, "This time, do you know who the real murderer is?"

"That's right, this time, I must make good use of it, and I can't let Xu Zizheng calculate it for nothing!"

However, Changsun Jingrong was not as happy as Xu Zizheng. She looked at the ground and said in a low voice: "Unfortunately, we know it too late now. The tragedy has already happened. Now I only hope that He Nuo can survive."

Walking to Changsun Jingrong's side, Sima Xukong put his arms around her shoulders and said, "Let Lei Qing'er accompany He Nuo."

"Qing'er is already waiting outside. I will let her in after the doctor finishes treating the wound." After taking a light breath, Changsun Jingrong cheered up and asked, "What about you, how do you deal with that wound?" Careful work?"

"Of course, raise it first, maybe it will be of great effect when necessary!" His eyes narrowed slightly, and Sima Xukong's voice was cold, and he shouted, "Since Xu Zizheng dares to plot against me, then I will let him try it." Taste the price he has to pay!"

After a night of emergency treatment, He Nuo finally turned the corner, but he was still very weak and unconscious.

Lei Qing'er stayed by He Nuo's side every step of the way, with tears in her eyes and distressed eyes.Seeing that Lei Qing'er hadn't slept all night, she was afraid that she would not be able to survive, so she wanted her to rest, but Lei Qing'er was worried that He Nuo would not see her when she woke up, so she refused to rest no matter what.

No way, Shao Yao had to cook a bowl of ginseng soup for her, hoping to support her body and keep her from falling down.

Finally, after three days, He Nuo finally woke up slowly. He was so weak that it was difficult for him to even move his fingers.But when he saw Lei Qing'er taking a nap beside him, he couldn't help parting the corners of his lips, trying to call her name, but only made a "hissing" sound from his throat.

Although Lei Qing'er was taking a nap, she was not a deep sleeper. The slight sound woke her up immediately, and she couldn't help but burst into tears when she looked at the man in front of her who opened his eyes.

Gently leaning in front of He Nuo, Lei Qing'er held his hand and murmured softly, "You've finally woken up. I'm really afraid that you'll leave me alone!"

He Nuo couldn't make a sound at this moment, he just read two words with his lips, "fool".

This simple action already made Lei Qing'er sobbing, she covered her lips, ran outside the door, called Shao Yao, and asked her to inform the eldest grandson Jingrong and Sima Xukong of the news.

After getting the news, Changsun Jingrong and Sima Xukong rushed over immediately, and they were very relieved to see He Nuo who had come back to life.And after He Nuo woke up, his body was recovering at a rapid speed, and when he was able to speak, Changsun Jingrong couldn't wait to ask him about his situation at that time.

"Do you remember what happened then?"

"Remember," He Nuo leaned on the soft cushion, recalling, and said slowly, "At that time, Li Bing and I were only at the kiln, studying how to install wheels under the Arrowhead. Don't look at Li Bing who is usually very courageous. He is small and not good at words, but he is very eloquent about the things he believes, and he is just arguing with reason. We two argued for a long time about how to install the wheels, and both of us were red-faced. In the end, no one agreed. If we can convince anyone, the two of us decided to stop arguing first. After the lord comes back, we will see which one is easier to accept. After putting this matter aside for a while, we decided to drink secretly. "

"You men are really strange. You were arguing to death a while ago, but you drank together a while later."

Looking at Lei Qing'er, He Nuo said: "Arguing is an argument, but it doesn't hurt feelings, and we just disagree, and nothing else is involved. Hey, it's just a pity that Li Bing can no longer drink with me."

Seeing that He Nuo dragged the topic away, Changsun Jingrong asked, "And then, what happened?"

"Then, the one who made the wine was discovered. It was the Zhang Li who found the prince. When he discovered us, he clamored to report us, but after Li Bing and I struggled, he decided to I gave up on exposing and drank with us instead. And when the three of us were drunk, I saw Li Bing and Zhang Li having an argument, as if Zhang Li was asking Li Bing if he knew the principle of the Arrowhead, and Li Bing Then he reprimanded him for interfering too much and violating military orders. Seeing that the two of them were arguing more and more fiercely, I stepped forward to comfort him, but Zhang Li didn't know if he had drunk too much, so he drew a knife and slashed at me. After I was on the ground, I saw Zhang Li pinching Li Bing's neck, and I don't know what happened after that."

"Hmph, there is a problem with that Zhang Li!" Changsun Jingrong said coldly, "I said you are really stupid, what kind of wine do you drink with people in the military camp, don't you know that drinking is wrong?"
