The musculature between the fourth and fifth ribs of Tang Zhao's right chest has been necrotic and blackened, but fortunately, it is not the left chest, if it is the left chest, it must have pierced the heart.

Using a knife to remove the wound, Bailiyan was also taken aback, it was a wound caused by the Broken Star Crossbow, and there was still blackened tin slag left in the wound.

The Shattered Star Arrow is a type of crossbow arrow made by melting and forging tin, lead, and graphite. Made of metal and graphite slag, these arrows are extremely fragile, and can hardly damage even light leather armor, and can only be used to shoot armed men without any armor.

However, after being shot into the human body, the metal slag of the arrow will shatter on its own, hence the name Broken Star Arrow. Tin, lead, graphite and other metal slags are not easy to remove after entering the human body, and long-term retention in the human body is easy to make the wound festering and suppurating, and the wound will ulcerate and pollute the blood after a long time of treatment, resulting in sepsis and sudden death.

And this kind of arrow is only equipped by the Jin Kingdom, and it is used to assassinate important personnel, and it is unlikely that it will end up in the Xian Kingdom, let alone appear in the land of the North Sea.

Usually no one dares to assassinate the royal guest, and would rather go to war and die a righteous and bright death, and no one dares to assassinate. Once the handle is dropped, the royal guests all over the Central Plains and remote areas will attack it in groups, and no country can withstand a large-scale attack by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of elite royal guests.

There is no doubt that the Shattered Star Arrow is the Jin Kingdom, but who will assassinate the Imperial Guest. And it leaves such an obvious handle, what is the purpose and motive?

With the current situation of Xianguo, the Jin State is obviously not willing to provoke Yuke again, because there is no benefit, and it has to take risks, not to mention that Yuke has never participated in politics, let alone has no motive and value to rob and kill Song Jie and others.

The location of the robbery is also quite strange, just when Song Jie, Tang Zhao and others were about to leave the territory of Ding Yang City, they were robbed and killed, the location is too coincidental, and it is obviously suspected of deliberately framing Ding Yang Hou.

Zhang Jun, Marquis of Ding Yang, and Guo Pan, the eunuch Huang Menling, belong to the same party of the Queen Mother, the prince is the grandson of the Queen Mother, and Xihuan is the main room of the prince of the Jin Kingdom.

In this way, the biggest beneficiary around Dingyang City is none other than Jiang Min, Guangxin Gong.

But if Jiang Min did it, he wouldn't be afraid to lift a stone and hit his own feet? What's more, there is no certainty at all that this dirty water splash will not succeed, and the initiative is not in Jiang Min's hands.

Unless Song Jie, Tang Zhao and others are profitable, and they are huge profits. Rashly doing it in the territory of Dingyang City is just to hide people's eyes, splashing dirty water is just a convenient move, anyway, it will not fall on Jiang Min's head in the end, and the real motive is likely to be that Song Jie, Tang Zhao and others have any value that Jiang Min is interested in.

At the moment, it seems that only this explanation makes sense.

Tang Zhao's operation lasted nearly half an hour, and it took a lot of time to remove the decay to prevent and clean the wound, and more than 40% of the necrotic muscle tissue was cleaned up within the radius of six centimeters of the wound, leaving only a small amount of muscle tissue above the ribs to barely block the chest cavity.

Applying anti-inflammatory and hemostatic powder, pressing gauze and bandaging, Tang Zhao was in a coma the whole time, with no major reaction, not even humming.

At the end of the wound, Xiao Er was instructed to boil the medicine, and Bai Liyan wiped Tang Zhao's whole body with a cold damp cloth to promote fever reduction and cooling, and prevent body temperature from becoming too high and the wound from festering and suppurating again. No matter how bad it is, it's really deadly.

At this time, Song Jie and the others had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw the door of the house open, everyone rushed up to Lord Bailiyan.

"Wei Langzhong, how is my brother's injury, but he can still be saved." Song Jie asked eagerly.

"The wound has been stripped of carrion, and the bleeding has been stopped by taking hemostatic drugs. As for whether he can save his life, it depends on whether this Tang brother can survive the next two days. It's good to survive the viciousness, but it can't stand it, and I can't help it. ”

Hearing this, Song Jie and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed down:

"Thank you Wei Langzhong for saving your life, my Song is unforgettable."

"Eh......" Bai Liyan waved his hand and said: "The heart of the doctor's parents, how can I say thank you." ”

In the bottom of my heart, Tang Zhao's injury is very serious, even in modern times, once sepsis spreads, blood contamination is an irreversible process, and the human immune system cannot immune itself to the destruction of toxins produced by its own necrotic cells. Whether Tang Zhao can survive depends on the speed of deterioration of his condition and the effect of drugs in the later stage.

The deserted village is still able to prepare medicine, and Xianguo is the main producer of most anti-septic herbs, and the rescue is timely, and it may be able to escape.

When Song Jie and others entered the house to visit Zhang Zhao, Bai Liyan cleaned up the medical pollutants and threw them into the kiln of the Liu family father and son, and burned them clean.

"Mr. Wei, you haven't slept yet." Liu Zao said.

"Well, how has the porcelain been burning in the past two days?"

"Look."

Liu Zao raised his eyebrows, took a snow-white porcelain bowl and handed it to Bailiyan.

The diameter of the porcelain bowl is a palm, the thickness of the tire wall is more than two millimeters, much thicker than imagined, it is held in the hand with a dozen lights, the yellow light is crystal clear, and the chopsticks are gently knocked, and the crisp sound is far away and clear and deep in the heart.

"Okay, it's finally burned." Baili Yan was overjoyed.

"Sir is well-informed, and there is no one in the world of such white porcelain."

"Yes, but the walls are too thick, and the sound is crisp, but it's muddy. Uncle Liu, can you make it thinner, preferably only half. ”

"Don't hide it, sir, I planned to try this kind of specification a few more times, finalize the shape, and then make it thinner. Blindly seeking speed may be counterproductive. ”

"Well, what Uncle Liu said is good. Then continue to follow the step-by-step process, and try all the processes and regulations to avoid mistakes in the future. ”

Bailiyan is not an expert in porcelain, only knowing the principle and the criteria for judging the merits, without a set of effective production processes, blindly pursuing advanced technology, often counterproductive.

Liu Zao is step-by-step, and he can safely fire bone china in line with the current style, which is more practical than simply pointing fingers at himself.

Back at the thatched hut of Yicaotang, Song Jie and the others sat on the ground, and did not enter the house, so they spread straw under the pergola outside and sat on the ground, choking on dry cakes in cold water.

"Brother Song, why are you sleeping outside?"

"Wei Langzhong has the grace to save my brother's life, how can I bother Wei Langzhong to give convenience. We are all mountain village husbands, and it is common to wander the world and sleep in the wilderness. ”

What Song Jie said is true, the royal guest is a grass without roots, sleeping wherever he goes, and there is no fixed residence.

"By the way, I was in a hurry all the way, and I haven't introduced you brothers to Wei Langzhong yet." Song Jie spoke to himself, and then introduced his companions: "This is Gu Shan, who makes a pair of two-handed crescent halberds, and this is Fang De, who is good at making a hard bow and arrow, and can easily open a heavy bow and arrow with one stone." The other two were the brothers Marson and Marin, one with a gun and the other with a hook and sickle. The injured Tang Zhao was a wrestler, with a hammer in one hand and an axe in the other. ”

Song Jie introduced everyone one by one, and Baili Yan gave a slight salute to express his respect, and the doubts in his heart became deeper.

Most of the time, the guests go alone, or in pairs, and rarely go out in groups, unless there is a task and need to act together, which also adds to the previous speculation. Thinking of this, Bai Liyan asked:

"Brother Song, do you know what kind of arrow Brother Tang Zhao was in."

"Why, Wei Langzhong also knows this arrow?" Song Jie was surprised, he never thought that Wei Xian also knew the Broken Star Arrow.

"Don't hide it from Brother Song, this arrow is a broken star arrow made by the Jin people, and it is forged from graphite, lead, and tin. After piercing the human body, it is very easy to break, so the remains of the arrow are not easy to clean, so it will kill for a long time. Since Brother Song knew about this arrow, he knew who did it. ”

"This ...... I have discussed a lot with my brothers, and it is inconvenient for Song to say more here. When Tang Zhao's brother's injuries improved, Song would thank Wei Langzhong for saving his life in the future. ”

Song Jie didn't mention who might have robbed them, but avoided talking about sensitive issues, so it seems that Song Jie and the others do have secrets, otherwise they would have suffered such a big loss, and with the rules and temperament of the royal guest, they would never give up.

It's just that Bailiyan really can't figure it out, what can make the initiator willing to risk the world not to rob and kill the royal guest, is there really a stake that has to be done?

It was already dark, Song Jie and the others were reluctant to go into the house to rest, and Bailiyan did not force them. I entered the house and measured Tang Zhao's body temperature, and it had dropped a few points. Xiao Er brought the boiling decoction at this time, and was pouring it into Tang Zhao:

"Brother Wei, who are these wrestlers?"

"Yuke, it's a chivalrous man. I'll feed you the medicine, you've been busy for a day, so let's go and rest first. ”

"How can this work?" Xiao Er blushed her face, twisted her head and continued to feed the medicine with a soup spoon.

In the second half of the night, Xiao Er couldn't stay up sleepy, so she went back to the back room to sleep first. Bai Liyan lay on the floor of the front hall alone and was half-awake and half-asleep, faintly feeling a slight movement in the back of his head in a daze, and suddenly he sat up in shock, and secretly said in his heart:

"Cavalry, it's cavalry!"

The speed of sound propagation through the ground solid is much faster than that of air, but if you can feel the slightest movement, the distance is already more than ten miles away, if the ground can hear the sound, it means that the other party is less than ten miles away.

At this time, I thought of Song Jie, Tang Zhao and others, it could be that this cavalry was coming at them.

didn't have to think about it, when they came to the outside of the hospital, Song Jie and the others had been asleep for a long time, and only Fang De was still on guard:

"Wei Langzhong, I have an urgent need to urinate in the middle of the night." Fang De smiled.

"Brother Fang, there are cavalry coming to the deserted village more than ten miles to the south, and it must be bad intentions to come to Sangen in the middle of the night."

Fang De was shocked and asked:

"How did Wei Langzhong know that there were cavalry coming from the south?"

"Hey, the sound of people stepping on horses can be transmitted more than ten miles away through the ground, and Brother Fang will know it as soon as he hears it."

At this time, Song Jie and the others had already woken up, and when they heard the news that someone was killing, they were all taken aback.

"Yes, but the voice is coming from the south."

Fang De said affirmatively, Song Jie touched his chin and was puzzled, thought for a moment, and decided to leave immediately:

"Wei Langzhong, most of these people are waiting for us, Song and the brothers will lure them away, and the Tang Zhao brothers still hope that Wei Langzhong will take care of them."

"It's okay, Brother Song, please take care. If you get out of danger, we will see you in the city tomorrow. ”
