Chapter 161
"I want to go back to Shengjing!" Su Jiu's expression was gloomy.

She couldn't sit still when she thought of Lan Zhihui with Ji Yuxian in her face!
Can Ji Yuxian deny that it's not her?

Lan Zhihui hoarse her voice on purpose, just to deceive people. It turns out that this is the reason why she helped King Zhao, and her goal was Ji Yuxian.

"If you can go back, why wait until now? If you don't have martial arts, you will be caught by Duomu as soon as you go out!" Wu Yi said softly.

Yan Shu's eyes fell on Wu Yi's holding Su Jiu's hand and she was slightly startled. This man is so clean and doesn't like to be touched by others. Even though the two are in a master-student relationship and get along day and night, Wu Yi always avoids her.

When did this rule break with Su Jiu?

Su Jiu gritted her teeth, "I can't wait any longer!"

Wu Yi pulled her back, and said in a low voice, "If your husband can't even tell whether he is his wife, then he will treat you like that! The face can be disguised, but the body cannot be disguised. Your husband just needs to sleep , it will be clear!"

Su Jiu looked back at him coldly, she was already asleep, it was too late to be clear!
At this moment, the curtain was lifted suddenly, and Duo Mu walked in, looking at the three of them with cold eyes.

He must have heard the movement and came in to check.

Su Jiu's anger was suppressed in her heart, she was even more angry when she saw Duomu, and shouted, "What are you looking at, get out!"

Duo Mu's face was dark, he turned his head and walked out.

"What are the plans of Young Madam and Master?" Yan Shu asked in a low voice.

Wu Yidao, "Both of us have taken the Sangong Pill, and now we are completely out of breath. There is still Duo Mu guarding us every step of the way, and we haven't found a chance to escape."

Su Jiu said coldly, "We must kill Duo Mu to have a chance!"

"Duo Mu served as the personal bodyguard for King Ruiyang for ten years. His martial arts and vigilance are very comparable. It is very difficult to kill him!" Yan Shu said.

"We can't kill, why not kill with a knife!" Su Jiu's eyes flickered coldly.

"Whose knife do you want to borrow?" Yan Shu asked.

But Su Jiu changed the subject and asked, "Princess Zhuo Yan ventured into the camp, does she still want my blood?"

"So you already know my identity!" Yan Shu smiled calmly, "Then I won't hide it anymore. This time I came in, of course I want to cooperate with Xia Shizi, save Mrs. Ji and my master to go out!"

"What did Chang Huan promise you?" Su Jiu asked.

She didn't believe that Yan Shu was so kind, she just came to save her!

Yan Shu clenched her fists tightly and said through gnash teeth, "What I want is King Ruiyang's life!"

Su Jiu nodded clearly. King Ruiyang colluded with King Zhao to raise troops to rebel in Daliang, not to help King Zhao. He wanted Hanwu Tie to strengthen his troops and compete for the throne of Jinli Kingdom.

Yan Shu is Jin Li's princess, so of course she hates King Ruiyang to the bone!
Yan Shu turned her eyes and smiled lightly, and said to Su Jiu, "Now we are grasshoppers on the same rope, with the same goal, let go of all the previous grievances for now, how about working together?"

Su Jiu raised her eyebrows, "Of course!"

Wu Yi glanced over Su Jiuru's picturesque eyebrows, poured water for her, and said in a low voice, "In this case, let's discuss how to borrow a knife to kill someone!"

Yan Shu stayed in the army, with her taking care of her, Su Jiu's daily life was indeed much more convenient.

It's just that Duo Mu's guard on Su Jiu became stricter.

Three days later, Hu Dapao led his troops to Xianghu Lake, stationed outside the city, and attacked the city gate.

King Zhao personally went into battle and led the rebels to defend the city.

The first siege battle lasted for a day and a night, with casualties on both sides, and Hu Dapao retreated ten miles.

However, the soldiers led by Hu Dapao were exhausted all the way, and when they arrived, they attacked the city non-stop. King Zhao saw that he was at the end of his strength, and seeing Hu Dapao retreating, he immediately led his troops to besiege.

Hu Dapao led his troops back to Qianyuan County under Fengyuan. Unexpectedly, Feng Chengyu, the prefect of Qianyuan, had already defected to King Zhao and refused to open the city gate to let Hu Dapao's soldiers and horses enter the city. In the ancient cloud city closest to Feng Yuan.

King Zhao's soldiers and horses occupied Qianyuan, eyeing the low-walled ancient Yuncheng!

As soon as the soldiers and horses of the two sides met, Hu Dapao suffered a defeat. The morale of the rebel army suddenly rose, and they all threatened to attack Shengjing directly.

Su Jiu and the others were also stationed outside Qianyuan City along with the army. Because of the war, the guards around the camp were heavily guarded, so the guard on Su Jiu was relaxed. At least they could walk around within a few feet of the camp.

In front of Su Jiu's big tent is the tent of King Ruiyang, and further ahead is the main tent of King Zhao.

This morning, Su Jiu got out of the big tent and stretched in front of the tent door to exercise her muscles and bones.

Tamu's tall body stood there straight, looking at her expressionlessly.

The footsteps sounded from far to near, as if someone was approaching, Su Jiu turned her head and smiled at Duo Mu, her facial features were exquisite and pure under the sun, "Master Duo is a Jinli?"

Duomau let out a "hmm" without looking sideways.

"Is there anyone else in the family? Are you married?" Su Jiu smiled gently and amiably.

"No!" Duo Mu said coldly.

"Is there anyone in Daliang who has his eyes on it? Seeing that you are not young, it's time to get married. Our Da Pao is about the same age as you, and we have children!" Su Jiu continued to chat with him with a laugh.

Duomu looked at her with a frown, and when he was about to speak, he saw King Ruiyang walking over.

Seeing that the two were "happy" chatting, King Ruiyang's face was dull and his eyes sank.

Duomu immediately lowered his head and stepped aside.

"Is Mrs. Ji so happy?" King Ruiyang asked with a smile.

Su Jiu sighed, "Aren't you going to die if you're not happy?"

King Ruiyang grinned, the flesh on his face was piled together, looking a little obscene, "Of course Mrs. Ji won't die. For a beauty like Mrs. Ji, how can this king be willing to let her die?"

He raised his eyes slightly, and raised his hand to touch Su Jiu's face.

Su Jiu grabbed his wrist, and with a "click" sound, two fingers of the other hand touched his eyes.

"My lord, please show some respect. Although I have lost my true energy, I still have skills!"

Duo Mu immediately stepped forward, put the long sword on Su Jiu's neck, and said coldly, "Let the prince go!"

Su Jiu glanced at him with a smile, "Didn't you just say that you treat me like your younger sister, why don't you think so now that your prince is here?"

Duomu's eyes widened. When did he say she was the same as his sister?
However, King Ruiyang gave Duomu a chilly look. There was indeed a younger sister in Duomu's family. They had no parents since they were young, and they depended on each other for life, and their relationship was very good.

Turning his eyes, King Ruiyang raised his hand and pushed Duo Mu's sword away, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Ji and this king are playing around, you back down!"

At this moment, the curtain was pulled open, and Wu Yi walked out quickly. Seeing the scene in front of him, he was slightly taken aback, and smiled lightly, "What's the matter?"

Su Jiu also knew that she couldn't kill King Ruiyang, so she put her hands down and pursed her lips and said, "Let's compete with the prince!"

King Ruiyang pressed his bruised wrist, hehe said, "Mrs. Ji really opened my eyes!"

Wu Yi took a step forward, blocking Su Jiuban behind him, and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Ji has lost her martial arts. If she accidentally hurts you during the sparring, I'm afraid Prince Xia will be unhappy too!"

King Ruiyang grinned without a smile on his face, "This king is actually here to find Mr. Wu today!"

"My lord, please!" Wu Yixu gave way.

After several people entered the big tent, "Huandi" immediately lowered her head and stood behind Su Jiu, looking humble and cautious.

King Ruiyang didn't even look at her, he sat cross-legged on the futon, and said straight to the point, "This morning, my king's heart is cramping, and I'm still not feeling well, Mr. Wu, can you help me take a look?"

Wu Yi knew that King Ruiyang was testing the authenticity of his medical skills, so his face was calm, and he said in a low voice, "Naturally!"

After that, sit opposite King Ruiyang and feel his pulse.

After a while, Wu Yi withdrew his hand and said, "To be honest, the prince's heart disease is more serious than that of Emperor Jin Li. It's just a heartache now. In the future, it will become swollen all over the body, and both legs will be paralyzed. It's like a stroke!"

"Then what should we do?" King Ruiyang asked immediately.

What Wu Yi said was correct, his father was like this before, the imperial physician in the palace was helpless, and finally died in a miserable state.

So when Wu Yi said it, he believed it even more.

"Today, I will give the prince acupuncture to relieve the pain, and then I will supplement it with medicine." Wu Yi said indifferently, and ordered the guards outside to fetch a set of silver needles without haste.

"Then the king's illness will be cured?"

"With my son here, naturally the prince will live a long life!" Wu Yi said ambiguously.

King Ruiyang frowned, knowing that Wu Yi was playing tricks on purpose, he was unhappy but he had nothing to do.

The guard took the silver needle, and Wu Yi told King Ruiyang to lie down and put the needle on his back.

King Ruiyang called Duo Mu in and stood by.

Needling to take off his shirt, Su Jiu took Huandi out of the big tent.

The guards separated the camps of King Ruiyang and Xia Huan, surrounded by King Zhao's guards, and Duo Mu was not worried that Su Jiu would run away, so he only took one look and concentrated on guarding King Ruiyang.

After leaving the big tent, Su Jiu saw Yan Shu's cold eyes and knew that she hated King Ruiyang, so she hurriedly said, "Now is not the time to do anything."

They couldn't kill King Ruiyang with as many Muscles as there were!
Yan Shu nodded slightly, and whispered, "I know!"

There are hundreds of thousands of troops, and the tents stretch on the flat ground, with no end in sight.

The two walked outside King Ruiyang's tent, and saw a guard coming hurriedly on horseback. Su Jiu's eyes flashed, she took Yan Shu's hand and hid in a corner, listening to the movement ahead.

The guard got off his horse and asked in a low voice, "Is the prince in the tent?"

The person standing outside the account was King Ruiyang's personal bodyguard named Zhou Li, who replied, "Not here, what's the matter?"

The guard who came back from the outside said, "King Zhao wanted to attack Gu Yun in the past two days, and the prince sent me to check on Gu Yun's situation."

"How?" Zhou Li asked.

"The defense is loose, but the subordinates suspect fraud, so it is not appropriate to sneak attack!" the man analyzed.

Zhou Li said, "Okay, I will tell Wang Ye when he comes back!"

"Yes!" The man stepped back.

Su Jiu turned her eyes sharply, pulled Yan Shu back quietly, and walked towards King Zhao's big tent.

The two waited outside the tent for a while, and Zhao Qing, the deputy general of King Zhao, came over and asked, "Is Your Highness in the tent?"

The guard said, "Return to General, Your Highness has entered the city today!"

King Zhao said that he had something to discuss with the prefect Qianyuan, and he brought a thousand soldiers into the city early in the morning.

Su Jiu, who was hiding behind the big tent, winked at Yan Shu, Yan Shu understood, and immediately raised her voice, "Miss, I don't understand something."

"What's the matter?" Su Jiu asked casually.

Sure enough, when Su Jiu asked, Zhao Qing, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped.

"The slave girl just heard Zhou Li say that the ancient cloud city is not well-defended outside King Ruiyang's tent, but why did King Ruiyang ask his subordinates to inform the prince that no sneak attack is allowed for two days?" Yan Shu asked innocently.

Su Jiu laughed, "There is an inside story in it, of course you don't understand it!"

"What's the inside story, miss, please tell your servant!" Yan Shu asked coquettishly.

"Okay, then I will explain it to you, so that you can gain some knowledge!" Su Jiu smiled proudly, "Throughout the ages, all counselors have only [-]% of their abilities. If things are too easy, why not It can show the strength of a counselor! Do you understand?"

Yan Shu's tone seemed to understand, "The servant seems to understand a little bit!"

"Second, I heard that it is not easy for King Ruiyang's troops to cross the East China Sea and enter Daliang without the knowledge of Emperor Jinli, so King Ruiyang is delaying time, and when he attacks Shengjing, his troops will also just Come here and make a military contribution, which happens to be able to blackmail King Zhao."

"Oh! This servant understands it now!" Yan Shu suddenly said.

"How smart! But Guyun's city wall is low, not as strong as a border city, and Hu Dapao has just arrived in Guyun and needs to recuperate for a few days, so I really hope that King Zhao will not send troops to attack!" Su Jiu said solemnly.

"Yes! King Ruiyang just did what Miss wanted by doing this!"

The two seemed to be passing by behind King Zhao's tent, and gradually walked away while talking.

Zhao Qing was originally a martial arts practitioner, and his hearing was superb. He heard the words of Su Jiu and Yan Shu verbatim, his face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "Foreigners really can't be trusted!"

Looking up at the sky, it was almost dark, and it might be too late to go to the city to report to King Zhao, Zhao Qing hesitated for a moment, and ordered,
"Go and find out what news the people of King Ruiyang brought back."

"Yes!" Zhao Qing's soldiers responded and left.

Soon, the soldiers came back and whispered, "The guards they are investigating Gu Yun are really loose!"

Zhao Qing nodded slowly. It seemed that Hu Dapao had just arrived in Guyun. He was exhausted from the boat and the vehicle and lost in the battle, and his momentum was sluggish. This is a good time to attack the city.

"Assemble troops immediately, and attack Gu Yun tonight!"

The guard next to him immediately said, "Do you want to ask His Highness for instructions before issuing an order to attack the city?"

Zhao Qing was originally a man of great success, and after hearing Su Jiu's words, he was dissatisfied with King Ruiyang, and wanted to attack Gu Yun tonight, and waved his hands,

"You don't need to ask for instructions. Your Highness is not here. I will be the commander in chief of the battalion. Just follow orders!"

"Do you want to notify King Ruiyang?" the guard asked again.

"No need!" Zhao Qing said coldly.

"Yes!"

The guards hurried to gather troops and horses.

When Su Jiu returned to the camp, he saw King Ruiyang lying on the couch with silver needles all over his back.

Wu Yi was grinding the medicinal herbs, and Duo Mu looked at him for a moment.

Su Jiu squatted down in front of Wu Yi, and said, "It's still a long time, don't get tired, Mr. Wu, I'll help you!"

Wu Yi raised his eyes and glanced at her, turned his peachy eyes, got up and said to the guard at the door, "When I pull out the needle later, the pain may intensify, take some incense to soothe the nerves!"

"Yes!"

The guard went away at the sound and quickly brought the incense.

After Duo Mu inspected it, he handed An Shenxiang to Wu Yi.

Wu Yi deliberately dyed a few more pieces, and the rich fragrance slowly wafted out.

King Ruiyang was lying there, probably feeling comfortable after getting the needle. He was already drowsy, but after being scented, he fell asleep completely.

"The prince cannot be disturbed when the needle is pulled out, so no matter what happens later, no one is allowed to come in!" Wu Yi explained again.

The guard looked at Duo Mu, saw him nodding, and then went out in response.

Wu Yi cleaned his hands and began to pull out the needles for King Ruiyang. He pulled out very slowly, and it took almost a stick of incense to pull out three.

Duo Mu frowned and looked at, with so many needles, at this speed, wouldn't it take a night to pull out the needles, and I have never seen such needles pulled out.

Su Jiu sat beside her and told Yan Shu, "Mrs. Ben is thirsty!"

"Yes!"

Yan Shu lowered her head with a humble attitude, and immediately poured tea for Su Jiu.

Su Jiu took a sip, "It's too hot!"

"Servant, let the lady cool off!" Yan Shu knelt on the ground and took it with both hands.

"Hurry up!" Su Jiu said casually.

Yan Shu had no choice but to take the tea away and cool it with a cattail fan.

After a while, he came back and handed it to Su Jiu again.

Su Jiu took a sip and put it down again, "It's cold again!"

Yan Shu lowered her head and clenched her teeth. Su Jiu is clearly taking this opportunity to get revenge on her!

Wu Yi, who was pulling out the needle, smiled slowly when he heard the sound, turned his head, and said softly, "Madam is probably hungry, go and bring in dinner!"

"Yes!"

Yan Shu got up, responded respectfully, and walked out.

The corners of her lips parted involuntarily, Master still loved her!
As soon as Yan Shu left the tent, King Ruiyang's bodyguard Zhou Li hurried over, "Is the lord here?"

The guard said, "Here! The prince is administering the needle, no one is missing!"

"The subordinate has something urgent to report!" Zhou Li said.

The guard only listened to Dua Mu's words, shook his head and said, "No matter what happens, wait until the prince finishes administering the needle!"

Zhou Li frowned. Both himself and Duo Mu were the guards of King Ruiyang. Just because Duo Mu was more favored by King Ruiyang, these guards neglected him, resentful, and looked at the closed tent door, so they had to retreat. go down.

In the big tent, Wu Yi pulled out half of the needles, went to eat first, and continued to work the needles for King Ruiyang after eating and drinking enough.

It was almost half an hour after the needle was pulled out, but King Ruiyang was still sound asleep.

Wu Yi suffocated the tranquilizing incense, and after a while, King Ruiyang woke up leisurely.

As soon as he opened his eyes, King Ruiyang sat up in a "babble", looked around in shock, and felt relieved when he saw Duomu, "Why is this king falling asleep?"

"What does your lord think?" Wu Yi asked softly while packing up the silver needles.

King Ruiyang stood up, moved his hands and feet, and exclaimed, "The whole body is comfortable, and the heart is no longer painful or stuffy. It really has a miraculous effect!"

Wu Yi smiled slightly, "As long as the prince thinks it will work!"

Seeing this, Duo Mu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's late at night, my lord, go back and rest!" Wu Yi said.

Su Jiu had already fallen asleep on the bed, and Yan Shu leaned against the bed, seeming to have fallen asleep too.

Seeing that Wu Yi could really cure his illness, King Ruiyang treated him more politely, "Thank you, my lord!"

"My lord, you are welcome!"

"The king is back, and the young master also rested earlier!"

"My lord, go slowly!"

King Ruiyang tidied up his robes, winked at Duo Mu, and lifted the curtain to get out of the big tent.

As soon as he stepped out, the guard Zhou Li rushed over, "My lord, it's not good!"
