Chapter 459
When Bei Xiuyan heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Is this Hucao grass poisonous?"
His question awakened Shen Ruzhou, and she immediately thought of some of the properties of Hucao that she had read in medical books.
"This grass will produce a lot of poisonous smoke when burned. Many tribes in Beiliao will burn this grass to drive away wolves."
At this point, Beixiu Yan had already made a rough guess about Mu Zheng's next plan.
In the evening, returning to the camp, Shen Ruzhou changed the dressing for Beixiu Banquet. Seeing that the wound had begun to heal, he felt very happy, "My lord, in five or six days, I will almost recover."
"I can't wait so long." Bei Xiuyan's cold voice broke Shen Ruzhou's joy. He raised his hand to pull up his robe and looked at Shen Ruzhou with heavy eyes.
"I will find a chance to see you off tonight."
Shen Ruzhou had a bad premonition in his heart and asked hesitantly: "Won't the prince go with us?"
Bei Xiuyan was silent for a long time, then opened his thin lips and said with a bit of helplessness: "You are a doctor, you should know that my current situation is not suitable for riding a horse."
So he just left alone, leaving Beixiu Yan, who was seriously injured, in the enemy camp. Thinking of this, Shen Ruzhou stood up with a firm look in his eyes.
"I, Shen Ruzhou, am not an ungrateful person. I will never leave the prince and escape alone."
"You have to go, it will be too late..." Before Bei Xiuyan could finish his explanation, Shen Ruzhou interrupted him forcefully, "I will never leave you, even if I die, I will die with you. .”
Bei Xiuyan's original solemn expression gradually dissipated with Shen Ruzhou's words, like ice melting under the warm spring sun. He couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile, and a trace of teasing flashed in the corner of his eyes, "You will never leave me for the rest of your life?"
Shen Ruzhou was still immersed in the grief of life and death, and replied without thinking: "Yes, I want to be with you and never leave for the rest of my life."
After saying that, Shen Ruzhou realized that something was wrong. This was clearly a vow of eternal love made by the girl's family to the man she loved. She was so unprepared that she was attracted by Beixiu Banquet's words. She was immediately ashamed and annoyed, and blushed. Hot.
Beixiu Yan raised his head and looked at the engraving. It was already midnight, so he didn't dare to delay any more and patiently explained.
"Mu Zheng asked the soldiers to prepare a large amount of Hucao grass. He probably wanted to use the poisonous smoke produced by its burning to attack the city. Judging from the weather, the south wind will blow in the next two days. You must rush back to the northern city to report the news and let them prepare it in advance. Prepare."
So, Shen Ruzhou naturally knew the seriousness, but leaving the seriously injured Beixiu Yan here, she still felt uneasy, and her eyes were full of worry.
Beixiu Yan showed rare patience and comforted him: "Don't worry, I was able to escape unharmed last time when I kidnapped Mu Zheng, and this time is no exception. After I recover from my injuries, I will return to Beijing City to join you. "
"Yeah!" Bei Xiuyan's words were like a reassurance, calming Shen Ruzhou's panicked mind.
She nodded firmly towards the Beixiu Banquet, like a soldier who had received an important task, and respectfully held her hands in her hands and said, "If Zhou Ding has fulfilled his mission, he will do so."
The two of them went to the stable on the westernmost side of the military camp in the dark. According to the agreed upon plan, Shen Ruzhou took out the drug and prepared to put it into the guard's teapot before riding away.
Bei Xiuyan held her down, scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, paused deliberately in a few dark places, and whispered: "There's something wrong here, be careful."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou was so shocked that his heart suddenly rose to his throat. He took out the silver needle from his sleeve and became alert, "Have we been discovered?"
"Probably not." Bei Xiuyan said with a firm voice, "If they are really discovered, they can just take the person, so why bother to set up a trap here."
While talking, Bei Xiuyan heard movement behind him and quickly pulled Shen Ruzhou to hide behind the haystack.
Through the gap between the haystacks, Shen Ruzhou saw several figures walking quietly towards this side, the leader of which was Mo Ru.
Shen Ruzhou turned around and told Beixiu Yan about his previous encounter with Mo Ru. Beixiu Yan suddenly felt at ease, "It seems they were guarding against Mo Ru."
At this time, Mo Ru and his men were slowly approaching the stable. Suddenly, he heard someone calling his name in the haystack, and the voice was very familiar.
He followed the sound and touched over, taking advantage of the moonlight to see the other person's face clearly.
"Miss Shen, why are you here?"
Shen Ruzhou made a silent gesture towards him, looked around carefully, and when he saw that the guard had not attracted the attention, he whispered: "There is an ambush, let's go to my camp."
When they arrived at the camp, it was better to ask their followers to guard outside and tell them all about their predicament.
"Mu Zheng wanted to marry the princess, but the princess refused. It was about to break out. I thought about sending someone to southern Xinjiang to deliver a message, but I didn't expect that Mu Zheng was already on guard."
At this point, Mo Ru's face was full of worry, "If this continues, I'm afraid Mu Zheng will use force. I don't have enough manpower. Even if I risk my life, I won't be able to protect the princess."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou was furious, "How can there be such a forced marriage? Mu Zheng is not afraid of offending the King of Southern Xinjiang."
After not seeing each other for many years, Mu Zheng is still so lustful.
A trace of disdain flashed across Bei Xiuyan's eyes, and he sneered: "Mu Zheng has always been ruthless. If he really decides to use force, he will not let Mo Ru and the others walk out of Bei Liao alive. How can the King of Southern Xinjiang know the truth? I'm afraid that by then I don’t know who to turn to if I want to pursue it.”
"Damn it." Shen Ruzhou was still angry.
"It's not like there's no way to solve it." Bei Xiuyan's eyes were sharp and the corners of his mouth were raised.
"I have a way to help us get out of danger."
"The regent has a reputation that I have heard about for a long time. All matters are decided by the regent." Moyu bowed and saluted respectfully.
Beixiu Yan told everyone his plan.
"Mu Zheng's delay in taking action shows that he wants to marry the princess legitimately and have a marriage with Southern Xinjiang. If we don't let the princess pretend to agree first, we will leave with the messenger who proposes the marriage. As long as we leave the military camp in Beiliao, it will be convenient later. ”
"Is it dangerous to leave the princess here alone?" Although she had never met her, Shen Ruzhou was still worried about the princess in southern Xinjiang.
Beixiu Yan said firmly: "Since we want to marry a matchmaker, Mu Zheng will treat the princess with courtesy no matter how anxious he is. He will not touch the princess until the marriage certificate from southern Xinjiang is sent."
"That's good." Shen Ruzhou smiled knowingly.
Mo Ru admired Beixiu even more when he saw that Beixiu had planned a banquet. He immediately said that he would go back and inform the princess of his escape plan and leave Beiliao tomorrow.
