Chapter 548 Mother Gu
Xia Zihan didn't let go, and the fox left.
The next day, the fox came again and brought shocking news to Xia Zihan.
"It is said that the Second Prince was controlled by Gu insects and sent all the food sent by the court to the Japanese pirates behind the Duke's back. Now, the soldiers in the south are almost out of food." The fox told the news he had learned. He lowered his voice and told Xia Zihan everything.
Xia Zihan's eyes were as wide as Tongling in shock, "Is the news you got true?"
"The emperor's secret guard said it himself." Fox said.
When he saw the secret guards rushing to buy food, he had an extra thought and went to investigate the food in the granary. He found that there was no shortage of food in the granary. If they drank porridge, it would be enough for the refugees to eat for several months.
So, if the emperor is anxious to buy food, there must be another reason.
He personally came forward to find the secret guard, and deliberately revealed the news that he had grain to sell, and then the secret guard told the whole story.
Of course, because the opponent is a fox, not a fox, the emperor's secret guards will not say anything even if they are beaten to death.
When the fox got the news, he hurriedly came to find Xia Zihan.
Xia Zihan was anxious and quickly asked the fox to go to Zhuangzi to find the head of the farm. He asked the head of the farm to take the fox to Huaihe City and sell all the grain she had to the emperor.
The grain she previously purchased from the six large estates of the Ma family, as well as the grain from her own four large estates, plus the grain from the small 17, 18, and 17 small estates in her possession, add up to more than 9 million kilograms. According to the current market price of grain, a pound of rice costs 20 cents, which is 180,000 taels of silver.
Xia Zihan sold everything to the emperor.
As soon as the emperor got the food, he sent his confidants to lead the 10,000 soldiers who the second prince had left in the military camp in the capital to escort the food. They set out from Tuanghuai City, took a boat through the waterway, and secretly sent it to the south.
Xia Zihan sent the grain to the south and made a fortune from the emperor. She was very happy, but before she could get over her joy, the fox led the emperor's secret guards to find her.
The fox said, "The emperor knew that the grain was sold by the princess, and wanted the princess to help him purchase another batch of grain. The emperor said that the tens of thousands of soldiers in the south will be gone in less than a month. , I have to buy it again, but it’s not easy for him to come forward in this matter. If he wants the princess to come forward to buy it, the emperor will provide money.”
After the fox finished speaking, the emperor's secret guard took out a thick stack of silver notes and put them in front of Xia Zihan, "This is five hundred thousand taels of silver notes. The emperor said that all these silver notes can be used to buy food, which will be enough for the soldiers in the south." They will support the grain harvest season in the second half of the year.”
Xia Zihan's heart was boiling with anger, and the blood vessels in his head were throbbing with anger. "It's not convenient for the emperor to come forward, so he just left this matter to me. What on earth did he think? I am a future person." Is it easier for a girl who is out of court to show her face than him? ”
"Princess, don't be angry, the emperor said, just ask your Zhuangtou to come forward to buy it, and we will follow." The secret guard said hurriedly.
"Actually, the emperor just wants to borrow the head of the village owned by the princess. After all, we are secret guards. We only know how to fight and kill. We don't know or are familiar with buying food."
I don’t even know where to buy food.
Xia Zihan rubbed his forehead and told the fox, "Go, take all the people and banknotes to Gianzhuangtou, and ask Gianzhuangtou to buy as much food as possible. Whether the soldiers in the south will be hungry next month, we will all It’s up to him, just tell him.”
"Okay, let's leave first." The fox signaled to the secret guard to take the banknote, and the two of them disappeared.
Xia Zihan sat on the chair angrily.
The emperor was really... He was afraid of being discovered, so he dragged her into the water. If it weren't for Chu Jingqi and his son and Chu Jiajun in the south, she wouldn't bother to care about it.
She really didn't want to be dragged into this kind of mud pit.
But...
When she thought that Chu Jingqi would be hungry, she thought nothing of it and surrendered.
Hey...
After receiving Xia Zihan's order, the farm head notified a dozen of his subordinates to go around to buy grain.
For half a month, the farm head worked hard and finally bought all the grain stored in farms inside and outside the capital.
In the end, the silver was not enough, and there was still a shortage of one hundred thousand taels. The secret guards came into the palace and took it from the emperor.
After buying this batch of grain, the emperor had people quietly send it to the south.
At this time, the Japanese pirates planned to enter Ningwu City when Dasheng's soldiers had nothing to eat, so that they could capture Ningwu City in one fell swoop when Dasheng's soldiers and horses were too hungry.
Who knows, at this moment, the Japanese pirates caught fire in their own backyard.
The Japanese pirates' lair was attacked by the Tatars. The war was fierce. The Japanese pirates became anxious and quickly turned back with most of their troops to save their lair. Only a few soldiers and horses were left to guard Wanfeng City, which they had finally captured.
As soon as the Japanese pirates left, Chu Xuanyu quickly mobilized his troops. With 40,000 soldiers and horses, Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen, they surrounded them on three sides and attacked the Japanese pirates in Wanfeng City.
This war lasted for a day and a night, and Chu Xuanyu finally captured Wanfeng City.
All the Japanese pirates were annihilated. Chu Jingqi and Ao Tianchen worked together to capture alive the generals left behind by the Japanese pirates. The soldiers and horses on Dasheng's side also suffered heavy casualties. Of the 40,000 soldiers and horses, there were more than 20,000 left.
After Chu Xuanyu captured Wanfeng City, the Tatars also received a message from Fei Ge. Then, the Tatars hurriedly retreated. When the Japanese pirates who hurried over arrived, the Tatars had already retreated to Dasheng's territory and hid. Entering deep mountains and old forests, even Japanese pirates cannot find them.
The Japanese pirates lost Wanfeng City, and their own territory was beaten by the Tatars. The Japanese pirate commander was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Chu Jingqi's idea of luring tigers away from the mountains was Chu Jingqi's idea. He joined forces with the Tatars to lure out the Japanese pirates stationed in Wanfeng City. Then, the Tatars retreated before the Japanese pirates arrived, while Chu Jingqi's side Not long after leaving Wanfeng City, he raised his troops and recaptured Wanfeng City.
The cooperation between the two parties was so seamless that the Japanese pirates suffered a huge loss.
Dasheng's soldiers and horses recaptured Wanfeng City and regained the lost land of Dasheng. This should have been a great event, but... I saw an empty city with no civilians inside. They were all killed by Japanese pirates. , the soldiers of Dasheng stood in the city, feeling desolate. They seemed to be able to hear the resentment and cries floating in the sky above the city.
Doctor Bai rushed to Wanfeng City on the third day after retaking Wanfeng City.
Chu Xuanyu was worried that the second prince would be controlled by Gu insects again and do something unforgivable, so he fed him a drug and kept him unconscious all day long.
Doctor Bai's face became very serious after being checked for pulse by the Second Prince. Ao Tianchen looked on with his heart trembling, "Doctor Bai, how are you? Can the worms in my father's body be removed?"
Divine Doctor Bai frowned and said, "The one among the two princes is the famous Golden Silkworm Gu in Miao territory. This kind of Gu is cultivated using twelve kinds of poisonous insects and the essence and blood of the bewitcher. It takes seven Seventy-nine days, seventy-seventy-nine days later, the twelve species of poisonous insects will eventually kill each other and only one mutated insect will remain.”
"This bug is called Golden Silkworm Gu."
"The poisoner will swallow the golden silkworm Gu, use his body and blood, and continue to raise it. After five years of raising it, the poisoner will become the owner. At this time, the golden silkworm Gu will completely obey the owner's orders."
"The owner uses the excrement of the golden silkworm Gu to infect people. Once they are infected with the golden silkworm Gu, they will become the owner's slave and obey the owner's orders. If they violate the rules, the person who has been infected by the poison will suffer from bites all over his body. , the pain is unbearable, and the pain is unbearable.”
"This voodoo can also be dried in the sun and powdered into poison. Its toxicity... is more powerful than the red crane crown. When people in the martial arts world mention the golden silkworm voodoo, they all gnash their teeth."
"I have been practicing medicine for decades, but I have never been lucky enough to encounter golden silkworm Gu. I never expected that I would see it in the second prince."
Doctor Bai stroked his white beard, his face showing interest in the golden silkworm Gu.
"Miracle doctor, you have said so much, but you have not yet said whether this golden silkworm Gu on my father's body can be removed?" Ao Tianchen was frightened when he heard this, but he was even more worried about the life of the second prince.
Doctor Bai rolled his eyes at him, "You kid, why don't you believe in my medical skills?"
Judging from his tone, it seems that it can be removed.
Ao Tianchen hurriedly smiled and said, "I believe, I will leave everything to Dr. Bai."
"Don't be too happy too soon." Doctor Bai poured a basin of cold water on Ao Tianchen again, "It is not an easy task to remove the golden silkworm gu. First, we must find the person who planted the poison, and then... remove the poison. The mother voodoo in the master's body can be drawn out. As long as the mother voodoo is present, I can draw out the child voodoo in the second prince's body."
Ao Tianchen just sat on the chair and murmured, "We don't even know who cast the poison, how can we find the mother poison?"
"This is easy to handle." Doctor Bai said very confidently, "Wake up the Second Prince. As long as the Second Prince wakes up, the Gu in his body will also wake up. When the Child Gu wakes up, the Mother Gu will feel it. , as long as the owner contacts the child Gu, I can find the mother Gu.”
Ao Tianchen was a little hesitant.
When his father was awake, he gave all their food to the Japanese pirates. If Chu Xuanyu hadn't led his people to rescue them in time, his life would have been lost.
If his father wakes up again, who knows if he will do anything again. If he loses his life, how will he explain to his mother and concubine?
How painful is the mother-in-law?
There is also Qinghui, her father loves her the most, if anything happens to her father... Qinghui will also be very sad.
Ao Tianchen couldn't make up his mind, so he looked at Chu Xuanyu and asked for Chu Xuanyu's opinion, "Master Guo, look at it, why don't you let my father wake up first?"
If he doesn’t wake up and remove the poison from his father’s body, his father will completely become the enemy’s puppet, and he will turn around to harm Da Sheng’s soldiers. I’m afraid even my father himself doesn’t want to live like this. ?
"Aqi, give the second prince the antidote." Chu Xuanyu ordered Chu Jingqi without hesitation.
Chu Jingqi responded, took out the antidote and gave it to the second prince to take.
