Hand Medicine Fragrance

Chapter 277 Weighing
"What are you doing, General?" Liang Yuehu asked in question.

Zhao Yuanzhen snorted coldly, but didn't bother to talk to him.

Ding Mao gathered everyone in Zhao Yuanzhen's camp.

The commander's camp, which was very spacious, seemed a little cramped at this moment, and everyone was almost shoulder to shoulder.

Zhao Yuanzhen glanced at everyone, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone is my confidant, and I can trust you all. Therefore, I will personally tell everyone about this matter. I hope everyone will remember clearly in their hearts. , so as not to be fooled by rumors outside and get confused."

"Listen to the general's orders." The crowd said with hands clasped.

"The second batch of Yuanyang Pills, there are tens of thousands of them, have already arrived in our army, in case of emergency, so as to save more lives. But this is a big secret, and the Chu-Shu coalition army must never know about it. Where the pill is, so as not to change it." Zhao Yuanzhen said.

Everyone looked left and right, with expressions of suspicion and surprise on their faces.

"Has it arrived yet? When did you arrive?" Ding Mao asked in surprise.

Zhao Yuanzhen glanced at him and turned away, "Actually, the so-called second batch of pills did not come from the second batch."

When everyone heard this, they were slightly taken aback.

What is the second batch, not the arrival of the second batch?what is that?
"It was delivered together with the first batch of more than [-] pills." Zhao Yuanzhen said, "The first batch of pills was robbed in the territory of Dazhou, and the supplies transported by the same party were delayed for a long time in Xixia. In fact, the five thousand pills that were recovered When the remaining pills were on the road, the second batch of tens of thousands of pills was also on the road and delivered together!"

Everyone exclaimed repeatedly, and a burst of joy spread into the camp.

"So everyone can rest assured that our army will win a complete victory with the help of the magic medicine. Now these medicines are safe and safe, just waiting to be effective for our army!" Zhao Yuanzhen said.

All the people clasped their hands to congratulate the general, and congratulated each other, reassuring each other.

"With the help of the divine doctor, our army will win a complete victory!"

"That's right, the previous messages that were not good for the general or the genius doctor will definitely be destroyed by themselves!"

Zhao Yuanzhen waved his hand, "The news I asked Ding Mao to tell everyone earlier was just to confuse the Chu-Shu coalition forces. How is the situation now, do you already know it well?"

"Yes, I understand!" Everyone said.

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded, "Everyone, please go back."

With joyful smiles on their faces, everyone withdrew from Zhao Yuanzhen's tent.

Liang Yue frowned, and looked at him with a puzzled face, "What is the purpose of the general's behavior? I don't understand."

Zhao Yuanzhen's face was stiff, he covered his chest, and coughed fiercely.

Liang Yue stepped forward quickly, but saw that the hand covering his mouth was red.

He took a deep breath, held back the successive coughs, and suppressed the blood in his heart.

"General..."

Zhao Yuanzhen waved his hand, "I'm fine. Princess Changming was kidnapped by Ma Wenzhao, and now there is no news of safety in Beijing, which means that Princess Changming is still in Ma Wenzhao's hands."

Liang Yue nodded slowly.

"Since she was picked up before you left the capital, Ma Wenzhao knows very well that it is impossible for us to have a second batch of Yangyuan Pills. Therefore, the message I asked Ding Mao to spread earlier cannot confuse him. But if it is said that the second batch of Yangyuan Pills has already been made, and it was sent together with the first batch, he has no way to determine the truth. Although he may not be able to deceive him, he dare not take a bite Decide that there is no such thing." Zhao Yuanzhen took a deep breath, "It is only the truth that makes it difficult for him to find out our details."

Liang Yue nodded, "Understood, I am ashamed, I almost missed the general's business."

"I finally understand why the Kingdom of Shu suddenly agreed to send troops." Zhao Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, "I respect him as a man. In order to get revenge, I did not hesitate to bend the dignity of the prince to seek a good opportunity in Dazhou. It turns out that he is just a man. A person who thinks hard and can take advantage of anything."

Liang Yue frowned slightly, "When he asked to marry Princess Changming, many people in Beijing said that he really liked Princess Changming. Even the humble officials thought..."

Zhao Yuanzhen shook his head, "It's not just you? Even I thought he was an unforgettable old love and treated the princess sincerely."

After speaking, he snorted coldly.

Liang Yue also clenched his fists angrily, "It's true that you know people, know faces, but don't know what you're thinking. Brother Xuan regards him as a master and a good match for the princess. It turns out that he can even use the princess! If he hadn't kidnapped the princess, how could he have seduced the kingdom of Shu?" Send troops for him?"

----

"Your Majesty! The King of Shu ordered envoys to come and ask His Majesty to hand over the Yangyuan Pill. He said that since Princess Changming is in the hands of His Majesty, the army of Zhou State is now unstoppable because of the magic elixir in their hands. If His Majesty can't Give the Shu army the magic elixir, and the Shu army will...will..."

Ma Wenzhao looked down at the official who sent the message coldly.

"How about it?" He raised his eyebrows.

"The Shu army is about to withdraw, and we will discuss peace with the Great Zhou." The official bowed his head to the ground and replied in a low voice.

Ma Wenzhao's expression froze, "They themselves were unfavorable, so they attributed all their merits and demerits to the pills! What a useless thing!"

The officials dared not answer.

Ma Wenzhao raised his hand and hummed softly, "Back off."

"The envoys of the Kingdom of Shu are still waiting for His Majesty's reply." The official said cautiously.

Ma Wenzhao frowned, "I know!"

The officials quickly retreated.

Ma Wenzhao took a deep breath and walked towards Chai Sujin's room.

"Princess, how much do you want to eat?" The servant girl's voice came from the closed door.

"Take it!" Chai Sujin's voice was majestic, but weak.

"Princess, if you don't eat, the Holy Majesty will scold the servant girl and others. Don't worry, the food is clean. You are so exhausted, your body can't bear it!" great.

Chai Sujin didn't make another sound, but she didn't listen to her eating.

Ma Wenzhao frowned slightly.

Suddenly, Chai Sujin shouted angrily from inside.

He immediately kicked the door.

I saw the servant girl breaking Chai Sujin's chin with one hand, and holding the spoon in the other hand, forcing it into her mouth.

The door was kicked with a loud bang.

The servant girl shook her hand in fright, and the spoon fell to the ground.

Soup and rice spilled on Chai Sujin's skirt.

The servant girl hurriedly knelt down, "My lord..."

"What are you doing?" Ma Wenzhao stepped forward, looked down at the maid, and asked in a cold voice.

The servant girl quickly kowtowed, "Princess Zhou Guo refuses to eat, maidservant... maidservant is afraid that she won't be able to bear it, so...so..."

Ma Wenzhao stepped on the girl's shoulder, "So? Why? If I don't come, if I don't see you, how do you want to treat my beloved?"

The servant girl was so frightened that she sifted through tears, "My servant is only worried about the princess's health, I have no malicious intentions..."

Ma Wenzhao raised his foot and kicked the maid to the ground.

He has great strength on his feet.

After the maid was kicked down, she struggled a few times, but she couldn't get up.

"I told you to take good care of her, but not to humiliate her!" Ma Wenzhao said sternly.

The servant girl sniffed, "My maidservant...cough cough, maidservant knows my mistake..."

She covered her shoulders and pressed her other hand on her chest, seemingly in great pain.

"Come here, pull down this maid who dares to disrespect the princess, and kill her with a stick." Ma Wenzhao said with a determined look.

Chai Sujin was slightly taken aback.

Although the maid's behavior displeased her very much.But there is indeed no medicine in this soup that will cause abortion.

Although her behavior was disrespectful, it was probably because the servant girl was too anxious, anxious and annoyed, and it was inevitable that she would act excessively and inappropriately.In any case, not to die.And to die with a stick is really cruel.

She looked sideways at Ma Wenzhao.

Amidst the maid's begging for mercy, Ma Wenzhao's face was not moved at all.

He just said more and more coldly: "The woman I like wants to get the most honor and favor in this world. If you dare to disrespect her, you are disrespecting me! I will not forgive you lightly!"

The maid was dragged down.The voice of crying for mercy took a long time to fade away.

Ma Wenzhao walked slowly in front of Chai Sujin, bent down and sat down.

"If you don't eat, how can you maintain your life? How can you maintain the child in your womb?" Ma Wenzhao said.

Chai Sujin suddenly looked up at him.

"There is no medicine here." Ma Wenzhao looked at the food on the table, "Or you don't like these? What do you like, what do you want to eat, just tell the servants and ask the kitchen to prepare it. Although the products in this border town are not Abundant, but can be rushed from elsewhere, if you like."

Chai Sujin frowned slightly.

"I can't bear you." Ma Wenzhao said softly, looking into her eyes.

Chai Sujin looked away, not looking at him.

"I figured it out, if I lose you because of Zhao Yuanzhen's child, I can't be reconciled." Ma Wenzhao said, "As long as you can live well and stay by my side, I will... allow you to give birth to His children come."

Chai Sujin stared at the lines on the carpet, silent.

"I won't hurt this child. As long as the child's father is no longer in this world and completely defeated by me, can I not tolerate an ignorant baby? It's just that I feel sorry for your reputation and you." Ma Wen Zhao lowered his eyes and sighed softly.

"Really?" Chai Sujin slowly turned her face.

Ma Wenzhao nodded firmly, "I won't hurt the child in your womb, so don't hurt yourself either."

Chai Sujin raised her eyebrows, "I feel depressed in my heart, it's not that I want to practice myself, it's just that I can't eat."

Ma Wenzhao frowned at her, and spoke slowly after a while, "What can you do to feel at ease? Let you go, give you freedom, there is no need to say such things."

Chai Sujin sighed, "If it's the next best thing... you should spare Ruan Qing, don't let anyone torture him. He is just a person who obeys orders, so what's the use of torturing him?"

"I didn't want to do anything to him, but he was swearing and ignorant. I asked you to see him, but I wanted you to know that Zhao Yuanzhen is not capable of protecting you." Ma Wenzhao said.

Chai Sujin nodded, "Now, what you want me to know, I already know, so please hold your hands high and let him go."

This is polite.

She rarely spoke to him so politely.

Ma Wenzhao narrowed his eyes, "Okay, I promise you."

He turned his face outward, and ordered someone to bring Ruan Qing out of the prison, "Arrange a place for him to live in, and invite a doctor to treat him."

After speaking, he turned to look at Chai Sujin again.

"You can heal him yourself if you want."

Chai Sujin took a deep look at Ma Wenzhao, then slowly shook her head, "No need."

"You don't want to save him yourself?" Ma Wenzhao asked suspiciously.

Chai Sujin lowered her eyes, "I'm pregnant now, so I shouldn't worry too much about it."

Ma Wenzhao frowned slightly, and pursed his thin lips lightly.

"Since it is not suitable to be tired, what I wanted to ask you to help me seems to be impossible." Ma Wenzhao was silent for a moment, then said slowly, "Then if you give me the prescription of Yangyuan Pill, I will order others do it?"

Chai Sujin laughed.

She couldn't stop laughing, but Ma Wenzhao's complexion gradually darkened amidst her laughter.

"Can't you hold back? Is this your real purpose?" Chai Sujin managed to hold back her laughter and said slowly.

Ma Wenzhao's face was ugly, and he seemed embarrassed to be exposed, but he quickly smiled lightly to cover it up.

"I didn't force you, but I just asked you to help me. Now we are together. If I lose, you will not have a good result. Do you want your child to suffer miserably before it is born..."

"Shut up." Chai Sujin's face was cold and stern, "Don't you feel shameful that you always threaten me with children and use everything and everyone you can?"

"People should be glad that they are still worth being used." Ma Wenzhao said indifferently.

Chai Sujin nodded, "That's right, that's what you think in your heart. You kidnapped me and imprisoned me, but because I still have value for you to use. What do you like, why don't you want to? It's really ridiculous. "

Ma Wenzhao frowned and looked at her with a dark face, "You must misinterpret my meaning like this?"

"Is this a misunderstanding? Ma Wenzhao, is it because you haven't seen your own heart clearly? If I don't know medical skills, don't have Yangyuan Pill, and I'm just an ordinary me, would you still have the so-called liking? "Chai Sujin looked into his eyes calmly and asked seriously.

Ma Wenzhao frowned, "I like you, no matter what you are, I like you."

Chai Sujin nodded, and smiled slightly, "Since you said that, in order to prove your heart, why don't you just treat me as someone who doesn't know how to heal, let alone make Yuandan?"

Ma Wenzhao frowned, "You..."

Chai Sujin raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a half-smile.

Ma Wenzhao took a deep breath, forcing himself to sound less irritable and irritable, "Sister, don't make trouble. I can do whatever you want in the future, and I can do whatever you say, but now, I need to raise Yuandan. If you You can’t make medicine, give me the prescription, and I’ll ask someone to do it. If you’re worried about handing over the prescription to others, tell me what you need to prepare.”

Chai Sujin shook her head slowly, pursing her lips lightly.

Ma Wenzhao took a deep look at her, "Although I like you and love you...but my patience is limited. Don't force me to do things that we both regret."

"What are you going to use to persecute me? Ruan Qing? My child? Or my own life?" Chai Sujin said lightly, "If you want, you can take all of these. I am coerced by you today, but I am not ashamed of all the choices I make.”

Ma Wenzhao gritted his teeth when he saw her with a calm expression but a tough attitude.

"Okay, don't regret it!"

After speaking, he got up and left.

The door that had been kicked earlier was slammed by him.

Hearing the sound of his footsteps going away, Chai Sujin let out a long sigh of relief.

No regrets?
How could it be possible, she regretted it a long time ago, regretting that she saved him who had never met at Fangcheng's concubine Chai's house that day.

Regret not throwing him out after saving his life.He regretted letting him stay in the Chai family and became the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, regretted getting in touch with him more and more later, regretting letting him know so many secrets about himself.

If she had known that he would become what he is today, she would definitely have chosen never to meet again.

In Fangcheng, on the way to the capital, and even in the capital...he once gave her warmth, protection and companionship...as if he could still remember it vividly, facing him now, but It seems to be too far away from the past.

Today, he has become beyond recognition, extremely strange.

Is it power that makes people change, or has she never really known him?

Chai Sujin shook her head slightly, raised her hand to gently caress her lower abdomen.

"If mother can't keep you safe, will you blame mother?" she murmured, her nose slightly sore.

After Ma Wenzhao slammed the door and left, he didn't show up for two or three days.

The servant girl serving in front of Chai Sujin became more and more cold, and when talking to her, she didn't even have any expression or tone.

The food served is not as good as before, and sometimes even the soup and rice are cold.

Seeing such perfunctory food, Chai Sujin chuckled and shook her head indifferently.

So you want her to give in?Ma Wenzhao underestimated her too much.

It's just that she didn't know that Zhao Yuanzhen had raided the Chu-Shu coalition forces as many as six times since she knew the news of her captivity.

He personally led the cavalry, raided the enemy army, and took the enemy's head like a bag.

Now when the Chu-Shu Allied Forces heard Zhao Yuanzhen's name, they felt a little apprehensive.

There were even rumors that the Zhou army had more than ten thousand Yangyuan pills hidden in the barracks.With these more than [-] Yangyuan Pills, Zhou Jun didn't have to worry about fighting head-on.Even if he is injured, he will not lose his life, and he may be appreciated by the general for his bravery in killing the enemy.

Why are you here to fight?Isn't it just to protect the country, make contributions, and honor the ancestors?

Not only can they keep their lives, but also have the chance to make a fortune in the glorious lintel, the army of the Zhou Dynasty became more and more brave and unstoppable.

The Kingdom of Shu was originally a third party, and they wanted to join in the fun and gain some benefits.

But now the benefits are not reaped, but they are dragged into the water by Chu State, and a lot of manpower and material resources are invested.Where can the people of Shu sit still?
On the one hand, they sent envoys to discuss the truce with Zhao Yuanzhen, and on the other hand, they sent people to urge Ma Wenzhao to raise Yuandan.

But Zhao Yuanzhen simply ignored the envoy sent by Shu.Often when envoys from the Kingdom of Shu came, he would not even see them, and ordered them to kill them.

Such a tough and non-negotiable attitude made the people of Shu even more frightened.

After sending envoys twice, the Shu people did not dare to use this method to delay, but the urging and persecution of Ma Wenzhao became more intense.

Ma Wenzhao's Chu army was forced to retreat by Zhao Yuanzhen, and he was also full of anger when he was chased by Zhou army after being defeated.

That night, Chai Sujin had already fallen asleep.

He kicked the door open.

The maid in the room immediately jumped up.

"Get out." Ma Wenzhao shouted.

The servant girl backed out without making a sound. She wanted to close the door, but Ma Wenzhao's legs were too strong, so she kicked the door frame loose.

A door hung precariously from its frame, dangling.

"Get lost." Ma Wenzhao shouted again.

The maid hurriedly retreated.

Chai Sujin sat up on the bed.

Ma Wenzhao staggered in, and the smell of alcohol came to his face.

"Have you been drinking?" Chai Sujin asked coldly, his face full of vigilance.

Ma Wenzhao chuckled, "I'm very sober."

Chai Sujin saw the gloomy look in his eyes through the light, and immediately wanted to jump off the bed.

But Ma Wenzhao moved faster than her. He stretched out his hand and rushed forward, grabbed Chai Sujin's wrist, and pressed her down on the bed.

"What are you doing?!" Chai Sujin snapped.

Ma Wenzhao suppressed her and shook his head, "I miss you, concubine, I miss you very much. Ever since I was in Fangcheng, you have broken into my heart and never left for a moment. I said I like you, Why don't you believe it?"

"Let me go!" Chai Sujin kicked him.

Ma Wenzhao shook his head, "I've been waiting for this day for too long. I can't wait any longer. I want people and hearts. If I can't get them all, at least I want one..."

"Ma Wenzhao, don't pretend to be crazy here!" Chai Sujin's voice was cold, "You can't even imagine a human heart! If you touch me, I will die in front of you!"

When her voice fell to the ground, his movements paused slightly.

But then, his movements became more and more violent.

"Die in front of me? Why? Just because I touched you? I gave you the position of queen, and I gave you the honor and wealth that others can't match. What do you use to repay me? Just use this kind of disgust? I don't treat you well What? Am I not tolerant enough of you? Is your heart made of iron? How come there is no time to let it go?" Ma Wenzhao roared angrily while tearing her clothes.

When Chai Sujin resisted fiercely, she had to carefully protect her lower abdomen.Although her face was cold and her tone was stern, she was terrified in her heart.

"Don't you want to raise Yuan Dan? You are persecuting me so much because you want me to compromise?" Chai Sujin asked urgently.

Ma Wenzhao paused for a moment, looked down at her, "Are you willing?"

Chai Sujin sneered, "Now you can still drag the Shu army, but if I die, I am afraid that the Shu army will immediately negotiate peace with Dazhou, or even turn against each other! At that time, you will be crying without tears! Too late to regret !"

Ma Wenzhao breathed out the smell of alcohol, "Threat me? Don't you see where you are now, how dare you threaten me?"

He leaned over and lowered his head, biting her red lips fiercely.The strong tongue was like a sharp sword, trying to pry her lips and teeth open.

"Well--"

He snorted and left her lips abruptly.

Both of their lips were stained with bright red blood.

There was a strong smell of blood in his mouth.

"How dare you bite me?" Ma Wenzhao looked at her coldly, and stretched out his hands to tear off her pure white obscene clothes.

On her fair skin, the scarlet apron embroidered with gold thread was shining brightly under the candlelight.

It's just that neither of them was interested in appreciating it at this time, and the atmosphere was frozen like falling into an ice cave.

"Either, you let me go. Or, you get my dead body." Chai Sujin's eyes were as cold as frost, and there was no fear on his face, only determination.

One person is above, the other is below, and the four eyes are facing each other. It seems that there is a stalemate.

Ma Wenzhao got up suddenly and took a step back.

Chai Sujin grabbed the quilt, covered herself, and looked at him warily.

"Sorry, I'm drunk." After Ma Wenzhao finished speaking, he turned and left.

The candle was behind him, casting a long black shadow.

After he left for a long time, Chai Sujin realized that her hands and feet were trembling slightly, and her fingers were even colder without any warmth.

She quickly touched her shoulder, quickly called out the Ganoderma lucidum, took a deep breath, and quickly retracted it.

With a tightly clenched heart, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lying on the bed, she no longer wanted to sleep.

The torn clothes and the painful wrist from his pinch all spoke of the humiliation she had experienced just now.

She pursed her lips, widened her eyes, and told herself to be strong no matter what time she met.

But the tears could not stop falling from the eye sockets, wet the cheeks, wet the temple pillow.

……

"General, the sage sent a secret order." Ding Mao entered Zhao Yuanzhen's tent.

Lead the Beijing Central Herald to Zhao Yuanzhen.

Zhao Yuanzhen raised his hand to take the secret letter, read it blankly, threw it into the brazier, and set it on fire.

"The general has seen the letter, and I will resign from the humble position." The messenger said with hands folded.

Ding Mao was a little surprised.

Just send the letter without waiting for the general to reply, even if it is a verbal promise?Just go back like this?How to return to life?

Zhao Yuanzhen nodded slightly, "Deputy General Ding, send me off."

Ding Mao raised his hand in a daze, "Please."

The herald cupped his hands at Ding Mao and followed him out of the camp.

"I shouldn't talk too much, but I still want to remind you, how do you return to Beijing without waiting for the general to reply?" Ding Mao asked in a low voice as the two walked a distance from the camp.

The herald shook his head, "The Holy Majesty told me that as long as you hand over the letter to the general, the general will know how to deal with it. Thank you, Vice-General Ding, for reminding me!"

The herald was taken to rest.Sending letters all the way urgently, people are tired, and horses are also tired.

After changing the horses, the herald still had to go on the road.

However, Zhao Yuanzhen had immediately summoned his lieutenants and advisers, announced a temporary truce and set up camp to observe the next move of the Chu-Shu coalition forces.

It means that his fierce offensive posture will come to an end for the time being.Give each other a chance to breathe.

Ding Mao became more and more curious about what was said in the secret letter sent by the saint, but he knew his identity very well, and he knew better not to ask what should not be asked, and not to inquire about what should not be inquired.

Ding Mao can bear his temper, but not everyone can bear it like him.

When the lieutenant general's counselors had dispersed, Brother Xuan put on a serious face and begged to see Zhao Yuanzhen again.

"Why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue? Give them such a chance to breathe? Is it to let them rest enough and have a chance to counterattack?" Brother Xuan blushed and stared at Zhao Yuanzhen.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a deep look at him, "Brother Xuan showed bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield, and he advanced and retreated properly, which is really impressive."

Brother Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "Don't try to prevaricate by complimenting me..."

"Why does it feel like a different person when you leave the battlefield? The momentum on the battlefield is still there, so why is there no reason left?" Zhao Yuanzhen asked slowly.
