139, willows and flowers

The most terrible thing finally happened, even Yang Qiong fell, Zhong Luhuan didn't even have time to ask in detail what happened, put down the medicine bowl in his hand and ran.

Cui Xiang was still unwillingly "hey, hey, hey" in the back, and no one paid attention to it.

When Zhong Luhuan arrived at the south gate, there were not many people left, more than a dozen soldiers desperately used their bodies against the city gate, the wooden bolt with a thick waist of one person made a piercing creaking sound under the continuous and powerful impact, there were already faint cracks, the soldiers were holding their faces purple, their feet slipped on the ground, and from time to time someone fell down in the vibration, and got up quickly.

The south gate is still like this, the west of the Tiger Ben Pass really don't know what kind of situation it will be, Zhong Luhuan's heart swelled with a burst of sorrow, Hu Ben Pass since the founding of Taizu, has been the northernmost strong gateway of Great Chu, to resist foreign invasion, the Central Plains can enjoy peace, but to this day, the confrontation inside and outside the Tiger Pass is the brothers, the descendants of Taizu!

"Cousin! Oh no! The captain at the head of the city hurried down, "Another group of men and horses is approaching in the distance!" ”

Zhong Luhuan was shocked: "What did you say?" Hurriedly carrying the hem of the skirt and running over, "Where, take me to see!" The lieutenant hurriedly turned around and led the way, leading her up to the arrow tower.

The victory of the Ganzhou army was in sight, the morale was like a rainbow, the arrows were shooting like rain to the city, the captain held a shield to cover, Zhong Luhuan looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw a piece of dust and smoke billowing at the end of the plain, and even saw a flag dancing wildly in the wind.

Bai Yingchun still has the strength to increase his troops? She gasped in disbelief, Cui Yi's army was approaching the capital, didn't Bai Yingchun go to escort her? Cui Jie didn't even transfer the Ganzhou army to help?

The captain's expression was full of thoughts: "Cousin, what should I do now?" You've got an idea! ”

Zhong Luhuan stood in the arrow tower, looking straight ahead with a blank look.

Suddenly, she shouted, "It's reinforcements!" It's reinforcements! General Cao is back! ”

Her voice was sharp and loud, crying with joy, and several people on the arrow tower were busy looking over there, and sure enough, they saw a big "Cao" written on the handsome flag waving in the wind, and they all cheered and shouted: "It's General Cao!" General Cao is back! We're saved! ”

The already depressed morale was instantly high, and everyone shouted frantically as if they had finally seen the light of day after a long night.

Cao Qian and 18,000 Yanzhou troops finally rushed back at this critical moment, the Ganzhou army was surrounded from the rear, there was no way to deal with it, the situation under the city gate was reversed in an instant, the Ganzhou army lord was cut down by Cao Qian, the soldiers lost their armor and fled in embarrassment, and the army was defeated in less than half a day, leaving only the bones all over the ground.

"Miss Zhong!" Cao Qian strode up to the city gate, "When did the Ganzhou army come?" ”

Zhong Luhuan's face was full of tears, she was too excited to stop crying, and replied with a whimper: "Yanzhou Mansion has been besieged for seven days, 10,000 Ganzhou troops and 40,000 Liangzhou troops, flanked from three sides, the seventh master was shot with an arrow, and General Yang was also injured. ”

Cao Qian suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly said that he was fortunate to be back, otherwise there were less than 5,000 people in the city, and against 50,000 people, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg, and he would definitely die. He said with palpitations: "I'm sorry I'm coming back late, the siege of the South Gate has been lifted, and I will immediately send someone to see the East and West Gate, thank you for your hard work, go back and rest first!" ”

Zhong Luhuan cried and left, Cao Qian thanked God for a while, divided 3,000 people to stay at the south gate, 5,000 people to go to the east gate, and led the remaining 10,000 people to rush to the west of the city to rush to the west of the city.

Tiger Run.

Yang Qiong's injury was actually not very serious, the same as above was an arrow, Cui Xiang was so painful that he couldn't get up, but he ignored it and continued to command the defense of the city, until the strange numbness of the wound spread to the whole arm, and the left arm was completely unconscious, and he realized the seriousness of the problem - the arrow was poisonous!

The person who shot him with an arrow was specially taken care of by Han Chai, the so-called thief captured the king first, Yang Qiong is now the backbone of Xuanzhou Mansion, once he falls, the city is not just around the corner? So he used the poison he had collected from the Beidi cavalry before, and it was expected that no one in the Central Plains would know the solution to this poison, as long as Yang Qiong got a little bit of it, he would definitely die.

In fact, if the wound is not deep and the poisoning time is not long, the wound is tied up near the heart, the wound is cut and bled out, or even the flesh is cut and the arm is broken, you can avoid death, but Han Chai calculated that Yang Qiong would not make a fuss at this time because of a small injury, as long as it dragged on for a while and a half, the poison spread to the whole body, and even the divine doctor Kangzao could not be saved.

But he missed a very important person: Cheng Fengyi.

A woman who inherited Kangzao's life's work and lived in Beidi for two years.

"This poison can be cured." Cheng Fengyi raised the knife in her hand and dug out the arrows buried in the flesh, and the maid immediately brought the basin of water, only to see her fingers squeezing the wound hard, and the black and smelly blood flowed into the basin, and after a while, the water was dyed black.

Yang Qiong lay on the bed, her face was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, her entire left arm was swollen like a stake, and the blood vessels under her skin turned black.

Cheng Fengyi put his arm on his lap, his heart was not flustered and his hands were shaking, calm and focused, and silver needles were pierced on his shoulders and back, accurate and steady.

Yang Qiong didn't dare to stare at her face, so she could only put her eyes on her hand, her eyes full of fascination.

Cheng Fengyi was unconscious, and when the blood gradually turned red, he slapped a marching scatter on the wound, divided it by two and bandaged it properly, rolled it to the table like a wind, and began to write a prescription for detoxification.

"Sister Cheng! How is General Yang? Zhiying ran in panting.

"Why are you back?" Cheng Fengyi was not surprised, "I can handle it here, you go back quickly, there can't be no one in front of you." ”

Zhiying wiped a handful of sweat from her nose, panted and said, "It's okay, General Cao has come back with people, and the city can be defended." ”

Several people in the room were suddenly overjoyed, the two maids hugged each other, cheered and celebrated, and Yang Qiong also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

Cheng Fengyi didn't say much, brushed and wrote the prescription, and handed it to the maid: "Take it to the pharmacy in the city......" Suddenly remembered that this army was in chaos, where was there still a medicine shop, and Zhiying took the prescription: "Give it to me, all kinds of medicines are prepared in the palace, I'll catch it." ”

After a while, a maid came back to report that most of the medicinal materials were available, but because the red mulberry was a unique herb outside the palace, it could not be found in the treasury of the palace.

"What about the pharmacies in the city? Did you send someone to ask? Cheng Fengyi asked.

The maid nodded again and again: "Madame has already sent people everywhere to ask." ”

After waiting for a while, Zhiying came back, standing outside the door with red eyes and lips moving unable to speak.

Cheng Fengyi Huo Ran got up: "I'll go find it myself." ”

"Sister Cheng!"

"Mrs. Cheng!"

Zhiying and Yang Qiong screamed almost at the same time, and Zhiying grabbed her: "Where are you going to find it, now that there is a war outside, let's think of other ways, can't we replace it with something else?" ”

Yang Qiong said: "Qiong's body is not worth the risk that Mrs. will take to get a knife and cut off this arm." ”

"No way!" Cheng Fengyi turned around and scolded angrily, "The body is skinny, and it is affected by the parents, how can it be destroyed at will?" As a military general, if you break your arm, you will regret it for the rest of your life, how can you allow you to despise your body so much! ”

Yang Qiong was blocked and couldn't say a word, Cheng Fengyi said again: "Besides, the poison in your body has spread at this moment, even if you break this arm, it will not help, you must find an antidote!" ”

Zhiying's face was embarrassed: "But now ......"

Cheng Fengyi stopped listening to her and rushed out of the door in a hurry.

The room was quiet for a moment, Yang Qiong buried her face in the pillow, and after a long time, let out a painful wail.

When it comes to boldness, Zhiying and Zhong Luhuan can be regarded as the best among the famous ladies, but compared with Cheng Fengyi, it is really a small thing, and not looking at how she resisted Huerhana in the two years in Beidi, and she did not give in and collapse at the last moment.

Because she actually took advantage of the opportunity of Cao Qian to open the city gate and fight with Han Chaiping, she grabbed a horse and rushed out!

The pro-soldiers crawled back to report the news, and Zhiying was stunned when she heard it, and she couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally had to sigh with her forehead: "Sister Cheng is really worthy of being a heroine among women." ”

"The incident happened suddenly, and General Cao couldn't spare his hand to send someone to chase him, saying that he would come to ask for guilt later."

"No, no, no, General Cao can't be blamed for this!"

Zhiying hurriedly instructed the soldier: "You go back and tell General Cao that I arranged this matter, and I didn't have time to inform him when the time was pressing, so that he wouldn't blame himself, Sister Cheng...... Alas, what a ...... thing."

Although Cheng Fengyi is voluntary, if something goes wrong with her, not to mention that Yang Qiong is poisoned now, even if she is not poisoned, it is estimated that she will have to vomit three liters of blood, and she will end up depressed.

But fortunately, although Cheng Fengyi was resolute, she was not hot-headed and acted without thinking, she dressed herself as a soldier, no one in the Liangzhou Army knew her, and the scene was chaotic at that time, nearly 10,000 people suddenly poured out of Yanzhou Mansion, which should have been an empty city, which caught Han Chai off guard, how could he still have time to pay attention to a small soldier who was riding a horse and galloping.

So Cheng Fengyi passed through thousands of troops and horses, rushed out of the Tiger Ben Pass, and entered the Borjik grassland.

The green waves of the grassland in midsummer are rolling, and a jujube red horse with four hooves is flying, carrying a thin figure galloping rapidly, this scene was seen by Bomur, who was watching the battle on the mountain not far away.

Several people of the Busha tribe said goodbye to Yang Qiong and the others thirty miles away from Huben Pass, and Sang Duo took the young people back to the river beach where the tribesmen were located to report the news, and Bomur stayed alone, and had been lying in ambush on the mountain for several days, watching coldly.

He knew what he was waiting for, but he didn't want to admit that with his ability, he couldn't sneak into the Liangzhou army camp and assassinate the main general Han Chai to death, but he didn't intend to do so, and he was still indifferent knowing that Yanzhou Mansion had no soldiers and no generals.

Day after day, he looked forward to the day when Yanzhou was defeated and the city was broken, and then Zhiying escaped from the gate to ask for help from himself, or he could go into the city and rescue her.

This selfish, despicable mentality made Bomur hate herself, but with a sickly pleasure, she looked forward to that moment.

So when the city gate was wide open and a man rode through the battlefield to "escape" to the grassland, he did not hesitate to chase after Nayang.
