Chapter 466 Someone drugged Beixiu Yan
Mu Zheng, who had just retreated, did not return directly to the camp with his troops, but hid on both sides of the valley, waiting for the defenders from the north to catch up and lay a beautiful ambush to reverse the defeat.
But after waiting for two full hours, it was getting dark, but no one was chasing after him.
Damn it, I didn’t fall for it.
Mu Zheng gritted his teeth and ordered with full of reluctance, "Retract the troops and return to camp."
Seeing that only half of the troops were left, Mu Zheng felt a chill in his heart. After all these years, he is still no match for Beixiu Yan.
Mu Zheng rode his horse, losing the momentum he had at the beginning of the battle, and some distant memories slowly came to mind.
At that time, Xihe in Northern Liao was the dominant one, and he did not pay attention to the king of Northern Liao at all. He also repeatedly disrespected him as the prince. His life was really frustrating, so he left Northern Liao in anger and traveled around. Wandering.
He disguised himself as a horse dealer and went to the north to do business, but he happened to catch up with the Xihe tribe who suddenly attacked the city of the north.
He was captured and sent to the Northern Army, where he met Beixiu Yan. The two were both teenagers and hit it off immediately and became good friends.
During the days of holding on to Beijing City, Beixiu Yan worked hard and refused to slack off in the slightest. He is a lazy man who doesn't care who wins or loses.
But somehow Bei Xiuyan saw through his identity and threatened him to sneak into the Bei Liao army with him. The two of them cooperated to assassinate the leader of the Xihe tribe.
After the Beixiu Banquet, they cooperated with the defenders of Beijing City inside and outside, and won a beautiful victory.
After that battle, Xihe's tribe was severely damaged and was beaten to pieces. He returned to Northern Liao, cleaned up the mess, captured people's hearts, and won the support of everyone. A few years later, he ascended the throne of the Northern Liao king. Position, power.
And Beixiu Yan became famous in the first battle. From an unknown soldier to a general, he gradually ascended to the throne of regent and became a powerful person.
I thought we would never see each other again, but I didn't expect that after so many years, we would finally bump into each other.
Before Mu Zheng could even dismount his horse when he returned to the military camp, the military advisor rushed over to report: "Master, Princess Asheng is missing."
Mu Zheng had expected Asheng to leave, so he was not too surprised. He just waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay. She will be back in a few days."
After hearing this, the military advisor was a little confused and looked confused.
At this time, Mu Zheng spoke again: "The wedding is as usual. Ah Sheng likes silver jewelry, so please get more sets."
"Master, are you so sure that Princess Asheng will come back?" the military advisor asked in confusion.
Mu Zheng lifted his legs and dismounted, throwing the reins to the military advisor. His eyes glanced at the camp where Asheng lived, and the corner of his mouth curled up.
"Beixiu Yan, he won't like Ah Sheng like that. When Ah Sheng hits a wall with him, he will come back to me."
After Mu Zheng said this, he felt that this was not right, as if he had picked up the unwanted woman from Beixiu Banquet.
He coughed twice and continued: "Beixiu Yan likes smart women. I'm different. The simpler I like them, the more I like them. Ah Sheng is just right."
It's just that they have different preferences, there's no such thing as who picks up which one.
In the Governor's Mansion, Bei Xiuyan, who had been unconscious for half a day, finally woke up. Xiao Ruohan, who had been guarding the bedside, hurried over to greet him, "You're awake now. How are you? Are you still feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
"Have the Bei Liao army retreated?" Beixiu Yan forced his body to sit up and asked about the war as soon as his brain regained consciousness.
Xiao Ruohan told Beixiu Yan everything about the situation during the day, and at the end he did not forget to praise Shen Ruzhou, "I was so frightened that I lost my mind. Thanks to Ruzhou's quick decision and his intervention to stabilize the situation."
After hearing this, Bei Xiuyan's clear eyes rippled, and he said with some appreciation: "She is calm in times of crisis and handles things carefully. Ruohan, you should learn from her."
Shen Ruzhou came in with the medicine and happened to hear Bei Xiuyan's words. There was a hint of joy in the corners of his eyes and he said with a smile: "The regent doesn't blame me for making my own decisions."
She came to the couch and handed the medicine bowl to Bei Xiuyan. Seeing that his face had regained some vitality and was not as pale as before, the tense nerves relaxed a little.
"Your Majesty, your illness is strange this time." Shen Ruzhou felt Bei Xiuyan's pulse and became even more confused, "I have been treating your illness for some time. Your condition has been stable and there are signs of improvement. , Logically speaking, it shouldn’t happen suddenly.”
Hearing this, Bei Xiuyan's eyes darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Someone must have drugged me."
"Poison?" Xiao Ruohan's face condensed, his eyes full of anger, "Beiliao knows these dirty tricks."
"The battle between the two armies is a battle of life and death. Besides, Mu Zheng is not a gentleman at all, so it is not surprising that he uses some evil methods. It's just..." Shen Ruzhou hesitated again and again, but still insisted on his judgment, "I have checked all the food of the prince. It was found to be poisonous.”
Regarding this conclusion, Shen Ruzhou repeatedly wondered whether he had missed something.
Beixiu Yan seemed to have seen through everything, his face was calm, and his voice was calm and he said: "It's not poison, it's probably a kind of powder made from mushrooms. It's okay for others to eat it, but I will get sick after using it. "
mushroom? An idea flashed in Shen Ruzhou's mind, and he suddenly remembered that he had seen relevant records in ancient books, "Thousand Spirit Mushrooms? This can indeed induce the onset of deadwood disease."
Bei Xiuyan nodded noncommittally.
Shen Ruzhou felt more and more strange, "Except for me and Ruohan, no one here knows what the prince's illness is, and it is impossible to know that Qianling Mushroom can cause illness."
Bei Xiuyan let out a long sigh and brought up the old story between himself and Mu Zheng.
"When I was thirteen years old, I left Kyoto and came to the north to join the army. By chance, I met Mu Zheng. At first, I didn't know that he was the prince of Northern Liao. I just thought that we were similar in age, and we hit it off immediately, so we often met him. In and out, one time the two of us went hunting in the mountains and accidentally ate a mushroom. I fainted immediately, but Mu Zheng was fine, so it is not surprising that he knew this."
