Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 108 Cage

"General Shen, there is no need to go out of the city to fight! Just put on the mask and shoot arrows out of the city gate. This medicine will spread... No matter whether it is a ghost soldier or someone who has not taken it, anyone who hears it will die!"

“It’s really that amazing!”

Doctor Zhong said proudly: "Of course, I added poison to the antidote! Anyway, I have a face towel."

"it is good!"

The whole city was ordered not to leave the camp. Shen Rushan and other archers wore face coverings and shot arrows from the city gate. Hundreds of arrows were shot with the powder, and the bright red powder scattered in the air. The Loulan soldiers looked up and saw the blood-like smoke and silk-like smoke above their heads. Instantly, the soldiers and horses vomited blood and fell to the ground, twitching continuously.

Qingping and other states also received the antidote one after another, and the battle ended in this bright red psychedelic color.

In September, there were lightning, thunder and heavy rain. After more than three months of fighting on the battlefield, the earth was mixed with blood and poison... After being washed clean by the rain, all things welcomed the autumn harvest.

Shen Rushan and Zhao Chongtai both led their troops and took the opportunity to occupy the three border cities of Loulan!

The army returned victoriously. Although everyone was injured, they returned happily. They were lucky to be able to come back alive.

Shen Yining waved happily and joined the people in welcoming the triumphant army. Shen Rushan returned home with injuries.

"Welcome father back safely! Why don't I see my elder brother and cousin?"

Shen Rushan couldn't help laughing because... he didn't dare to tell his daughter about the situation. There was no news yet. Shen Changjun and Zhao Jinmo rushed to Tongzhou, but they didn't know whether they could rescue the child.

"Oh... they are safe too. They are packing up at the border and will be back soon..."

"Father, Xiao Yuan found the antidote, right?"

"Um……"

"Father, is Tongzhou far from Beijing? When will Xiaoyuan be able to arrive in Beijing?"

".....It's far, it will take some time..."

"Okay! Father is injured, he needs to eat more chicken to replenish his body. I will go to the kitchen to check."

"it is good...."

Shen Rushan had not looked at his daughter the whole time. Mrs. Shen noticed his hesitation and asked, "Rushan, what happened?"

Shen Rushan raised his eyes, full of worry and sorrow: "Qiang country... my son-in-law went in and only gave out the antidote! I am speechless to Yining!!!"

"What! The son-in-law hasn't come out yet!" Mrs. Shen was anxious, holding Shen Rushan's hand and squeezing it tightly. After a long silence, she said worriedly: "It's like this again, it's like this every time! Is Yining's love life so bumpy? Why is it always like this!"

"Changjun and Jin Mo went to rescue them... Wait a minute, wait a minute."

Song Xiaoyuan was not dead. He woke up from the pain of his wound at night. He looked around and found himself in a cage.

"Envoy Song, you're awake." The saint stood outside the cage, smiling happily.

Song Xiaoyuan sat up, his face pale, and looked at her without saying a word.

"That spear pierced your left shoulder and was centrifugal... It was almost there! Are you happy that I saved you?"

Song Xiaoyuan stood up, patting his chest, and walked to the cage, sneering and saying, "We succeeded, the Saint should be the one who is happy."

"Yes, I got what I wanted, so I'm very happy!"

"This bird cage must have taken a long time to build."

"Yes, this pavilion and cage were made for you in advance by me. You should like them."

"I'm really dedicated." After he finished speaking, blood gushed out of his chest and Song Xiaoyuan knelt down and coughed.

"This is the medicine my brother gave you. It's the same medicine he gave you. How does it taste?"

"Ahem...Interesting."

The Saint handed over a pill through the cage: "Don't die, Emperor Yan's arms are still useful to you!"

Song Xiaoyuan took the pill and swallowed it. He couldn't die. Yining...she was still waiting for him at home. The coughing made the wound more painful. Song Xiaoyuan held the cage and looked up at the crescent moon on the roof like a bird.

Zhao Jinmo and Shen Changjun led their troops to attack the Qiang State. Now no one knows whether Song Xiaoyuan is dead or alive. It seems that the Qiang State also has something good to celebrate.

The spies reported that the Qiang State had easily captured Loulan this time, and now the whole Qiang State is celebrating!

"Have you found any news about that adult?"

"Captain Shen, no! The palace of the Qiang Kingdom is guarded by imperial guards inside and outside, so it is difficult for me to get in."

The camp was silent for a while. After fighting with the Qiang State for several days, they could not enter the city or the palace. It was useless to attack the city, so they had to stop and camp at the border between the two countries.

"However, the Qiang Kingdom is celebrating now, and the Music Department is recruiting people."

Zhao Jinmo looked up, Shen Changjun frowned and waved: "Okay, go ahead... Let's explore!"

Ah Wu heard it outside the camp and hurried to the other tent, begging, "Miss Luo, is Miss Luo in there?"

Luo Xi had just changed the medicine and came out from behind the curtain: "What's the matter, Master Wu?"

Ah Wu bowed his head and pleaded, "Miss Luo, Ah Wu has something to ask you!"

"What is it? Please tell me."

"Miss Luo, my young master might be in the palace of Qiang State, and we don't know whether he is dead or alive..." After that, he told Luo Xi about the Qiang State recruiting musicians. Naturally, Luo Xi understood what he meant and was about to speak.

Zhao Jinmo came over: "Awu!"

Ah Wu turned around and clasped his fists and begged: "Miss Luo!!"

Luo Xi glanced at Zhao Jinmo and said without any hesitation: "Okay, I'll go." There has been no progress so far, and everyone is worried about the adult they are looking for. Since he can help, he has nothing to fear. After all...he is just a floating duckweed.

"Luo Xi!" Zhao Jinmo was worried.

"Tell me what that gentleman looks like. As long as I can help, it's fine. General, don't worry..."

Ah Wu cried with joy, wiped away his tears and recalled the appearance of his own son: "My son is tall, handsome, dressed in white, and has a scholarly air..."

Zhao Jinmo: “…”

After listening to his endless chatter, Zhao Jinmo said, "Taller than me, Luo Xi just needs to remember that Lord Song looks gentle as jade, but he has a pair of deep eyes, very cold!"

"it is good!"

Ah Wu didn't feel that his master's eyes were cold: "Master, he just doesn't like to talk..." He couldn't help feeling uncomfortable thinking about it. Now he didn't know what the situation of his master was, and he didn't dare to report it to his family.

Zhao Jinmo looked at Luo Xi's hand which was still wrapped in gauze: "Luo Xi, your hand..."

"It's fine. I just applied some scar cream that Doctor Liu gave me."

Zhao Jinmo looked unfamiliar here. He sent Luo Xi to the gate of Qiang State. Luo Xi, who had a Western appearance, went in easily. He turned around and waved to Zhao Jinmo to go back. Then he disappeared into the crowd of Qiang State with his zither in his arms.

When they arrived at the Music Bureau, many people were waiting in line. Luo Xi was the most beautiful among the crowd, and with her heterochromatic eyes, she was pulled out before she even arrived and went straight inside.

"I'm here to apply for a job, too. What's your name?"

"Go back to the official residence, Luo Xi."

"You don't look like a Qiang."

"I am from Southern Xinjiang. I was separated from my family during the war. I play the pipa very well. Your Excellency, please listen to my music."

There was no conflict between Southern Xinjiang and Qiang State, and the chief officer raised his hand to signal. Before Luo Xi finished playing the pipa, the chief officer said, "It's you, you look good too."

Luo Xi stood up holding the zither: "Thank you, sir."
