Chapter 462: I pledge my life to save my life
Shen Ruzhou told the whole story roughly, and before he knew it, it became dark.
Shen Mu calculated that the time was almost up and took Shen Ruzhou towards the Governor's Mansion.
At the gate of the Governor's Mansion, a guard was roughly driving away a father and daughter: "Hurry up, not everyone can come here."
The old man had no choice but to pull his daughter back down the steps. Seeing how honest and courteous they were, Shen Ruzhou was afraid that they might have encountered some difficulty, so he kindly stepped forward to ask.
Seeing that the yamen servant was respectful to Shen Ruzhou, the old man quickly bowed his hands and said, "Miss, out of kindness, please let us in."
"Uncle, what brings you to the Governor's Mansion?" Shen Ruzhou heard that his voice must be from a nearby mountain villager. The daughter looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, and she looked pretty and pretty.
The old man said: "Two days ago when Bei Liao attacked the city, it was the company deputy general who saved my daughter. I wanted to take my daughter to thank the company deputy general in person for his life-saving grace."
It turned out to be the same as his own purpose. After hearing this, Shen Mu felt the same and immediately waved the Yamen servant to leave, and entered the Governor's Mansion with the old man and his daughter.
In the study, Bei Xiuyan had just finished handling military affairs and was walking out rubbing his tired shoulders.
When Shen Mu saw him coming, he quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Thank you to the regent for the rescue, and Shen's children were able to return safely. The regent is a great kindness, and Shen will never forget it."
Shen Mu said that he wanted to salute, and Bei Xiuyan hurriedly supported his arms, "General Shen is too polite. He didn't dare to accept the salute without raising his hand."
Shen Mu had no choice but to stand up, and then said to Shen Ruzhou: "Ruzhou, the regent is injured because of you. You can get good medical treatment and help the prince recover as soon as possible."
Shen Ruzhou nodded obediently and said with a smile: "Well, even if my father doesn't tell me, I will definitely treat the regent's injuries."
"It's cold at night. General Shen has just recovered from his serious illness. It's better to go back and rest quickly. After Miss Shen has seen her injuries, I will send someone to send her back." After saying this, Beixiu Yan respectfully sent Shen Mu out.
On the other side, Lieutenant General Lian also left the study with a pile of documents. When the old man saw him, he pulled his daughter and ran over, kneeling in front of him, "Vice General Lian, thank you for saving my daughter. If it weren't for you, this girl would I was ruined by those beasts from Beiliao. My family is poor and I really have nothing to repay you with. If you don’t mind it, just let this girl stay by your side to serve you."
As the old man spoke, he stretched out his hand to push his daughter. The little girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times before raising her head and saying, "There is no way I can repay you for saving my life. I am willing to pledge myself to serve the general."
When Shen Ruzhou saw this, he instantly felt that his gratitude was too light. Fortunately, his father did not allow him to pledge himself to him.
Thinking of this, Shen Ruzhou felt that his idea was ridiculous and quickly turned his face to cover up his embarrassment.
Bei Xiuyan's dark eyes flashed sharply, as if he had seen through Shen Ruzhou's thoughts, and asked with a bit of joking: "So can you still thank me like this for saving your life?"
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou smiled coquettishly and couldn't help but blush.
On the other side, the company deputy general handed the document to the soldiers on the side, leaned over to help the old man up, and politely refused, "Old man, it is my duty to defend the city and protect the people. And I already have a wife at home, and I swore never to do it again. Marry, you should go home with your daughter and live a good life, which is the best way to thank me." Lieutenant General Lian said, and took out some money from his body and handed it to the old man's hand, carefully admonishing her.
"It's not peaceful recently, so don't go out of the city if you have nothing to do. It's not safe."
The old man was moved to tears, nodded in agreement, and left with his daughter with a lot of gratitude.
Shen Ruzhou had heard his father talk about Lieutenant General Lian before, and today when he saw his happy face when he talked about having a wife at home, he couldn't help but envy: "Vice General Lian is really sincere towards his wife, and the promise he made when he got married can also be said. What a good husband to keep in mind like this.”
"What's so difficult about this? I can do it too." Bei Xiuyan was noncommittal, with a slight smile on his lips. Looking at Shen Ruzhou's figure half-hidden in the moonlight, he felt even more beautiful and charming.
Shen Ruzhou was still too immersed in the story about Lieutenant General Lian to react. She turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing. It's time to change the dressing." Bei Xiuyan didn't say much, silently turned around and entered the room, followed by Shen Ruzhou.
This time the medicine was re-developed by Shen Ruzhou. It was not like the previous pain that would cause burning pain when the wound came into contact. Instead, it was refreshing and comfortable.
Sensing Beixiu Yan's surprised look, Shen Ruzhou raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "This is my newly developed gold-creating medicine. Not only is it not irritating, it is also very effective. I believe that the prince will be back to his original state soon."
After Shen Ruzhou finished speaking, there was no reaction from Bei Xiuyan. She turned around and saw Bei Xiuyan frowning and thinking about something. She couldn't help but asked with concern: "Is the prince worried about the war?"
"Miss Shen, is there any way to avoid being harmed by the poisonous smoke of Splendens splendens?" Bei Xiuyan asked calmly with a calm face.
Shen Ruzhou thought for a while and said, "If you take the antidote decoction beforehand and put on the veil, you won't be hurt by the poisonous smoke."
Shen Ruzhou spoke with certainty, his eyes full of confidence.
Hearing this, a bright light flashed across Bei Xiuyan's bottomless eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he said: "Since there is a way not to be poisoned by the poisonous smoke, let's use our plan and sing out a good plan to invite you into the urn."
"Your Majesty, do you mean to pretend to be poisoned, let Beiliao troops enter the city, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop?" Shen Ruzhou guessed Beixiu Banquet's plan, and his heart skipped a few beats in shock.
"Isn't this too risky?"
"Although defending Beijing City can withstand Bei Liao's attack, it should not be too long. The imperial court cannot afford to delay, and the people cannot afford to delay. It must be fought quickly." Beixiu Yan's handsome face was calm, and his words But there is confidence in strategizing and the power to stabilize the country.
