Lu Xing followed behind Gu Zhirong and asked, "Miss Gu Wu, where are we going now?"

Gu Zhirong didn't answer him, but asked separately, "How is the situation in front of you now?, are there any casualties among the brothers?"

Lu Xing shook his head: "There are no casualties, but because the opponent's artillery attack is too intensive, several brothers can't dodge, they were hit by artillery fire, their legs were injured, and a lot of blood was shed, the situation is a bit dangerous, Master Mingkong and Master Xuanhe have already rushed over." ”

Hearing that Mingkong and Xuanhe had already rushed over to deal with the wounded, Gu Zhirong breathed a sigh of relief, and his steps couldn't help but speed up.

After a while, they arrived at the rockery group behind the main hall, and Gu Zhirong glanced at Lu Xing: "Brother Lu, your skills are good, you pick up this lantern with a penny and hang it on the rockery." ”

Lu Xing didn't understand why Gu Zhirong wanted to do this, but he still agreed. The rockery group is a bamboo forest in the past, and it is very simple to ask for a penny.

Lu Xing jumped into the bamboo forest, used the sword on his body to cut off a bamboo, cut off the branches and leaves, and soon made a penny. According to Gu Zhirong's words, he picked up the lantern and hung it on the rockery.

Gu Zhirong saw it, was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Lu." ”

Lu Xing couldn't help but say: "Miss Gu Wu, you should tell me, what do you want this lantern for, you have to hang it here, is there any special meaning?"

Gu Zhirong shook his head: "No, I just think that the lantern has to be hung here to look good." ”

Lu Xing: "......"

At this moment, Mingkong and Xuanhe were taking a few disciples. Carrying two stretchers each, they hurried towards this side. Seeing that Gu Zhirong was also here, a look of surprise immediately appeared on their faces.

Gu Zhirong's eyes were sharp, and he quickly caught a glimpse of the injured person on the stretcher whose leg was injured. Although it was simply bandaged, the blood still oozed out, staining the thick gauze red.

Those two guards were really stubborn, they were so seriously injured that they were almost unconscious, but they didn't even snort, they were really tough guys.

A critically ill patient is in front of you. Gu Zhirong didn't have time to say anything to Lu Xing, so he just said simply and quickly: "Brother Lu, you go to find Senior Brother again." Let him make another glass lantern as soon as possible, quickly, if there is now, it will be the best. I'm going to help now. You find the lantern. Invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here again, I have something to say to him. ”

Lu Xing was a little puzzled: "What do you want a lantern for?"

He was a little depressed, he didn't seem to have done anything serious that night, and was called to find the lantern.

"I want that lantern, it's very useful, Brother Lu, please. ”

After Gu Zhirong finished the last sentence, the people had already followed Mingkong and them into the meditation room in front of the rockery group.

Lu Xing couldn't help but touch his head. A wry smile. Before he came, the prince had already commanded him. He had to listen to Miss Gu Wu's orders, so even if he felt that the idea of this Miss Gu Wu in front of him was grotesque, he could only do it.

Gu Zhirong hurriedly followed Mingkong and the others into the meditation room, and rushed to operate on the seriously injured guards. They didn't expect that at the moment they entered the meditation room, a slender figure walked over, saw the lanterns on the rockery, and showed a look of great surprise on her face, and then looked through the hidden door of the meditation room, and saw that the person inside had a strange pipe hanging in her hand, her eyes instantly emitted a strange light.

The seriously wounded guards entered the meditation room, and the medicine lady there immediately rushed over. They familiarly injected the patient with anesthetic and pushed them into the operating room in the rockery.

Gu Zhirong, Mingkong and the others quickly changed their clothes and entered the operating room.

When Gu Zhirong was in college, he studied both Chinese and Western medicine, and he had such rich clinical practice experience here, and he was already handy for doing this kind of surgery. The three of them worked together to quickly help the seriously injured guard clean the wound, and then quickly repaired the artery, and then treated the wound, hung water, and completed the entire surgical process in a short time.

After washing the water, Lu Xing was already carrying another lantern and waiting in the meditation room with the prince.

As soon as he saw Gu Zhirong walking out, the prince hurriedly took a few steps forward and looked at her deeply. Seeing that she looked tired, she couldn't help asking, "...... you Are you alright?"

Gu Zhirong exhaled deeply: "I'm fine, but you should ask your subordinates how the situation is first, right? Don't worry, they are all fine now, but they are seriously injured and need to recuperate." ”

The prince nodded.

Gu Zhirong looked around and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to talk, you can come with me." ”

There was a small dark room next to the meditation room, Gu Zhirong walked in with them, covered the door, and then looked at the prince and asked, "Your Royal Highness the prince, how is the situation outside now?"

The prince said: "Now that the situation outside is so grim, the thieves under the mountain seem to have expected us to delay and have stepped up their offensive, and the artillery just now almost blew up the temple gate, and the brothers have also been injured, and it seems that the manpower is even more tight." The brothers are now stubbornly defending, and they must not be able to hold out for many days. ”

Gu Zhirong's eyebrows frowned tightly. Yes, she just noticed that the mountain stepped up the offensive, if she couldn't resist it, it was really possible to break through the temple gate and rush in. Besides, in addition to artillery, the bandits didn't know where to smuggle so many arrow feathers, just in the Zen room, she saw that some soldiers were hit by arrows in their hands and feet, pulled out the arrows, bandaged them, and then returned to the front line to fight, which is really commendable.

However, at present, the enemy is full of ammunition, and our side, wounded, lack of manpower is one thing, and the arrow feathers are pitiful, originally the Hangji Temple is not an army, of course, there can be a large number of arrow feathers, besides, the guards brought by the prince are just the guards of the queen mother, and there is no plan to fight for a long time, so there are not many arrow feathers.

The severity of the situation, Gu Zhirong is quite clear.

However, there is not enough ammunition, so it seems that you can borrow a little from the enemy to use it, right?

She looked at the prince and said, "Now that the day is almost over, it looks like Mu Jin should be in a little trouble." Time waits for no one, we can't sit here anymore, we have to find a way to rush out. ”

The prince quickly said: "We have just arranged it, now the enemy is concentrating firepower to capture the temple gate, and the offensive in the back mountain is the weakest, if we break out of the encirclement from the back mountain, we should have some chance of winning." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded and said, "Then who does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince plan to send?"

The prince pondered for a moment and said, "My original intention was to let Lu Xing go, but Lu Xing can't leave now, so let Wu Da go, Wu Da is stable, and I am more at ease." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded: "That's good." ”

She glanced at the lantern that Lu Xing was holding in her hand: "You let Wu Da take this lantern with you, it will be more convenient on the road, and it will be good to bluff those thieves under the mountain." Also, I will repair a letter to the young master of Baojian Hall later, you can ask Wu Da to help me bring it. ”

When he heard the words "Young Master of Baojian Hall", the prince's eyes flickered slightly.

Gu Zhirong continued: "It's been a day, and there is no news from Mu Jin's side, I guess that if Mu Jin really enters the palace, he must be detained in the palace." Therefore, the person we are most worth looking for now is the young master of Baojian Hall.

He has a royal background, and he must be very familiar with the emperor. In terms of taking 10,000 steps back, even if he can't enter the palace, it doesn't matter, let him inform Jiangnan Caoyun's rudder in the capital, where they still have a few fierce artillery pieces, which should be able to help us relieve the siege.

The Tongjia army was stationed in Biansai, which was too far away from the capital, and the distant water could not save the near fire, so it was not considered for the time being. But Tongcheng is the old base camp of the Tongjia army, and there should be no more than 10,000 garrisons there, which is enough. But ......"

Speaking of this, Gu Zhirong glanced at him: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the matter of mobilizing the garrison of Tongcheng is not trivial, and there is no one else except the emperor. But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is supervising the country for the emperor during this time, you have a military talisman, and you should be able to mobilize the army of Tongcheng, but this matter must be done by you in person, and you must add the Empress Dowager's edict, which is famous. ”

Gu Zhirong said a lot in an orderly manner, Lu Xing was dumbfounded when he heard it, and the prince didn't have a trace of surprise: "This is very appropriate." When I leave here, all the affairs of the temple will be handed over to Lu Xing, and Lu Xing will sit in the formation. ”

Lu Xing's eyes widened again: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you said to hand over this place to me, you, do you really want to go down the mountain in person?" )
