Chapter 303 When are you going to deal with Lu Yunxuan?

Su Zhi coughed lightly and raised her head again: "Don't worry, Sister Chu."

Chu Yian's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "I'm at ease with you doing the work."

"But how did the Chang family punish them?"

Chang Yutang not only committed a crime, but also escaped. This is such a bad thing, we can't let him go like this.

The corners of Su Zhi's lips curled up: "After all, the head of the Chang family is a veteran of two dynasties. It is impossible for him to be punished too severely for this matter. It is just house arrest and compensation."

Chu Yian's eyes were full of disappointment. Su Zhi was almost killed, and this was the result?

It's a bit too light.

Su Zhi comforted him, "This is much better than I expected. After all, the person who did this was Chang Yutang. The Chang family is at most lax in discipline and has a bad family tradition."

"Chang Wei was confined to his home to raise his children and grandchildren for three months. After three months, it would be almost impossible for him to return to the court and continue as before."

Chang Yutang was the one who should be severely punished, but didn't he run away?

Chang Yutang's escape was indeed unexpected, but it helped them invisibly.

And he... after leaving Beijing, he occasionally encountered bandits on the road. Who knows in which bandit's lair he would die?

By then, let alone the person, I'm afraid we won't even be able to find the body.

Chu Yian didn't know much about what was happening in the court, but Su Zhi's confident look made her feel a lot more at ease.

If I remember correctly, Chang Wei seems to be Chang Wenrui's grandfather?

Although Chang Wenrui poses no threat to Qin Sheng, Qin Sheng should be happier with one less person hanging around him.

…

Border, outside Pingsha City, Wanhe Mountain.

Looking down from the mountain, there is a vast grassland that stretches as far as the eye can see.

The first snow in the north has arrived, weighing heavily on the grass.

Qin Sheng tied the white cloth tightly around his arm, and blood seeped out, staining the cloth red.

He was in a dilemma and then looked at the sparsely snow-covered grass.

Less than twenty miles away was the Xiongnu garrison, numbering approximately 100,000 men.

But past these troops is Pingsha, an important city of the Xiongnu.

Most of Pingsha's troops have been transferred to a place thirty miles outside the city, always on guard against the Dashun troops.

This distance allows them to observe the situation of the Dashun troops and quickly retreat into the city to give people in the rear time to react.

In addition, there was a river not far ahead, separating the two armies. The bridge had long been destroyed, and it was not easy to wade across the river in this season.

This is definitely a safe distance for the Huns.

The third prince of the Xiongnu lived in Pingsha City. He was the Xiongnu commander and was afraid of death, so he hid in the city.

The deputy general was in charge of the army, and the main force was guarding Wanhe Mountain, more than 20 miles away, with only a small number of soldiers guarding Pingsha City.

Qin Sheng looked at the dark army in the distance and the river that would block them from attacking Pingsha City, and suddenly remembered the young General Huo that Chu Yian had mentioned.

Needless to say, if General Huo were to make the choice, he would definitely bypass the main battlefield and go straight to Pingsha City to capture the thief and the leader.

He could also take his men on a detour and quietly cross the river to attack the rear, but what about the main army?

While he was thinking, a man sat down next to him.

Qin Sheng turned his head and saw Lu Yunxuan, who had not appeared in Shengjing for a long time.

I originally planned to let Qin Huaishu deal with this person after he left, but who knew that Lu Yunxuan would run to the border first and even abandon the affairs of Shengjing.

Qin Huaishu had written about Lu Yunxuan before, so Qin Sheng was not surprised at all when he saw him at the border.

The person is already right under our noses, and now is the time for war, so it is easy to deal with Lu Yunxuan.

Qin Sheng withdrew his gaze and looked at the vast grassland under his feet.

Lu Yunxuan frowned slightly when he saw the blood oozing from his arm, and with some heartache, he untied the white cloth and re-bandaged it with medicine.

"The poison in your body hasn't been completely eliminated yet. You should get more rest."

Qin Sheng didn't answer him and continued looking at the vast grassland.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Huns surrendered so quickly was entirely because he and the Duke of Qin were still alive.

When they first came to the border, the Huns mobilized almost all the assassins they had buried in the city just to kill the two of them.

If he and the Duke of Qin were both dead, the Huns' attack would not stop.

If one person dies, it's still a huge profit.

This was also a gamble for the Huns.

Seeing that the scimitar was about to stab Duke Qin, Qin Sheng blocked it for him at the critical moment.

Although he did not suffer any fatal injuries, the Hun's knife was stained with poison.

Seeing that he was injured, the Huns ignored him and began to besiege the Duke of Qin with all their strength.

Fortunately, the number of assassins was small and they were all killed quickly.

The poison in his body also began to take effect.

If it weren't for the antidote given by Chu Yian, Qin Sheng couldn't guarantee that he could survive until now.

These Huns were really cunning. Border cities often had trade exchanges and could not be closed all the time, so they arranged for people to enter the city in advance just to assassinate him and the Duke of Qin.

Throughout Dashun, the Huns were not afraid of anyone except the Qin family.

If the Qin family died, everyone else would be nothing to them.

Who knew that Qin Sheng could survive even after being poisoned? This really made those people very angry.

Seeing that the assassination attempt had failed and the untreatable poison he had painstakingly researched had been cured, the Huns immediately surrendered, expressing their desire to make peace with the Dashun Kingdom and even offering to send their princess as a marriage partner.

But Duke Qin was very angry at that time, and he had been holding back his anger for many years, so he did this right away.

What if the battlefield is just a game? They can do whatever they want?

Even if you want to repair it, you should call first.

So they planned and fought several battles, captured several Hun cities, and forced the Huns to retreat all the way to Pingsha.

Now that the Hun army has arrived, fighting like before will inevitably result in heavy losses. In addition, the moat in front is impassable, so the army has temporarily stopped here to rest.

But both Qin Sheng and Duke Qin were thinking about how to fight next.

Lu Yunxuan was a little dissatisfied when he didn't get a response from Qin Sheng. He reached out to hug Qin Sheng, but Qin Sheng suddenly turned his head as if he had sensed something and looked at him with cold eyes.

Lu Yunxuan stiffly withdrew his hand, feeling a little aggrieved: "Asheng, you are becoming more and more indifferent now."

Qin Sheng's eyes flashed with impatience, and he stood up and walked down the mountain: "You can leave, this is not the place for you to come."

Lu Yunxuan hurriedly followed: “If I don’t leave, you won’t be able to take care of yourself at all.”

"Besides, I'm quite skilled in martial arts. I've fought several battles with Duke Qin. Don't chase me away."

Qin Sheng ignored him and went down the mountain and entered the tent of Duke Qin to discuss the next steps.

Building a bridge is difficult, but crossing the river is not difficult. They can just get some boats and sneak across at night, taking a detour and being careful so as not to be discovered.

The spies are now scouting the terrain and will be able to take action soon.

When the discussion was almost over, Duke Qin suddenly asked, "When are you going to deal with Lu Yunxuan?"

He has been displeased with those people who have been involved with Qin Sheng for a long time. Now that one of them has been delivered to his doorstep, it would be a waste of this great opportunity if he doesn't deal with it.

Anyway, Lu Yunxuan was not a good person, so if he died, it would be one less trouble.

Qin Sheng lowered his eyelashes, his eyes were calm, and he only said softly: "It's almost there."
