Volume 2 Conquest and Killing Chapter 66 Strange Poison Attacks the City

Xuan Shaoning rushed up and waved the Jun Wu in his hand to attack repeatedly according to the opponent's vital parts, that Shi Mingyu took off his leather jacket and wanted to wrap around the sword body but was torn by the sword blade, but he used the gap to withdraw and pulled out a double knife, holding one in each hand, the handle held by Shi Mingyu was in the middle of the blades on both sides, and the upper and lower blades showed a certain arc in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction respectively. That Shi Mingyu made a move, and the two double-headed knives were made by him, although the blade was not long, it was offensive and defensive, forcing Xuan Shaoning to have no flaws to find.

Xie Yi and Cao Tie here are also inseparable from Dumo. Du Mo's weapon turned out to be a layer of iron hand helmet with double gloves, invulnerable, and amazingly powerful, he held the short sword in Cao Tie's hand tightly with one hand, and twisted the sword body into his own hand, and couldn't help but look at Cao Tie stunned.

"Hey! What are you doing stupidly, waiting to be slaughtered! Xie Yi shot an arrow again from a distance, although he was dodged by Du Mo again, but he woke up Cao Tie, he shook off the short sword that had been deformed, and reached out to punch Du Mo's chest, this punch seemed to hit the wall, Cao Tie only heard the sound of finger bones being dislocated and broken, ah before he screamed, Du Mo's iron fist had already forced the face door, Cao Tie returned to defend with both hands, and heard the sound of broken bones at the wrist again, Cao Tie's whole body flew out far away.

"Lao Tie!"

Xie Yi ran around Du Mo, while shooting arrows until the quiver was empty, the arrows shot were either dodged by Du Mo or directly broken by him, Xie Yi reached out to the quiver again and found that the arrows had been used up, just such a gap, Du Mo had already rushed to the front without waiting for Xie Yi to make a move, the iron fist had been firmly hit in the chest and abdomen respectively, Xie Yi spurted blood on the spot and fell to the ground.

"You've had enough, it's my turn!"

Du Mo jumped up and planned to come to a high place to beat Xie Yi directly to take Xie Yi's life, but he was forced to retreat by the cluster of arrows that kept flying towards him, he looked back after landing and found that there were a lot of Xuanjia troops behind him, one round of shooting, one round of immediate filling, leaving no extra space for Du Mo at all, and the Shi Mingyu on the other side was also in the same situation, he had no time to take care of Xuan Shaoning, and was forced to retreat by the rain of arrows. After finally being hit by an arrow in the shoulder, Na Shi Mingyu was rescued by the few remaining Donghu soldiers in the barracks, and shouted loudly while retreating, "Let the army return to defend and protect me!" ”

Ling Feiyan and Si Heng struggled to stand up, the man was standing right between the two, and he said expressionlessly: "Enough fun, it's time to send you on your way!" After that, he rushed towards Ling Scarlet Yan, and when he saw Ling Scarlet Yan in distress, Si Heng tried his best to rush over to help. In the face of the enemy's fierce attack, Ling Feiyan clenched his grip and was about to fight to the death, but found that the man suddenly turned around after rushing half the way.

Oops, Si Heng is dangerous! Ling Feiyan reacted extremely quickly, but he was still not as fast as that person's skill, and the half-moon scimitar in his hand had already pierced Si Heng's chest and pierced it.

Yes! Ling Feiyan angrily rushed forward with the determination to die, the man was about to draw the knife but was held down by Si Heng, and he couldn't pull out the knife after several attempts, and at this moment he saw the resoluteness in Si Heng's eyes. Just when Ling Scarlet Yan's fold ripped the man's back, the man jumped in the air and turned over to Si Heng's back, and at the same time pulled out the scimitar, Si Heng fell into Ling Scarlet Yan's arms in pain, and the two fell to the ground. Blood was gurgling out of Si Heng's chest, seeing that Si Heng's consciousness was a little blurred, but there was such a fierce opponent in front of him, Ling Feiyan held Si Heng with one hand, clenched the fold with the other, and threw the other party the same fierce look, without retreating at all.

Hum! Still strong! When the man was about to end the fight, a terrible horn came from the direction of the Donghu camp, one voice was more rapid than the other, and the horn was calling for the Donghu troops to retreat. All the Donghu soldiers did not expect that at the moment of victory, their general would actually withdraw his troops!

"Master Aroldo, Lord Yaba has an order, we have to hurry up and collect our troops!" The Donghu soldiers retreated one after another, heading in the direction of the camp, and Aroldo angrily glanced at the two who had lost the strength to resist, put away his knife, and said: "Liang Gou, I will take your dog's life in the future!" ”

Seeing that the Donghu army was gradually moving away, Ling Feiyan relaxed, and immediately checked Si Heng's injury, "Wake up, don't sleep, cheer up!" Soon, other warriors came to help.

Xiang Ang, who was wounded in many places, ordered: "Callsign! Get in touch with the rest of the detachments! ”

Not long after, the other three armies responsible for the attack quickly came to the south gate to converge, and Geng Yan, who had arrived, was shocked when he saw the tragedy of the battlefield at the south gate, and sent people to block the other three gates to ensure that the Donghu army completely retreated, and immediately checked the casualties of Xiang Ang's troops.

"Commander Geng, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's hurry into the city!" Xiang Ang said.

"I understand, but there has been no movement in the Sealed City, there must be something wrong inside, no one can open the door for us at this moment, we have to rely on ourselves!" Geng Yan said: "The reinforcements are in place, immediately climb the city wall and open the city gate!" ”

Several flying claws flew up the female wall, and the climbers pulled the rope hard, and found that the position was fixed and the wall was still silent, and immediately began to climb along the city wall, and soon several people climbed to the top of the wall, and soon the south gate slowly opened. At this time, Xuan Shaoning, who had already achieved his goal, also led a team to arrive.

Looking at the empty streets, Fang Qi said vigilantly: "I'm afraid there is an ambush in the city!" ”

"If there is an ambush, you should have taken action when you fought to the death, but there is definitely a problem with the feudal!" Geng Yan ordered: "Fang Qi, you lead people to stay, on the one hand, to guard the city gate, on the other hand, to take care of the wounded, and the others follow me into the city." ”

Walking through the slightly chaotic streets, the Xuanjia Army headed towards the Fengju General's Mansion, looking at the familiar scene that was indeed a person, Xuan Shaoning felt very uncomfortable, and the same question lingered in his heart, "What happened?" General Yang Lao strictly administers the army, and although the number of Guangyuan troops is small, the combat strength is definitely not weak. If Donghu had already invaded the fiefdom, according to the temperament of the Donghu people, they would never stop if they didn't loot well, and it didn't look like they had been looted from the street scene. ”

"Are you wondering what happened to the Sealed City?" Shi Gong Zhengyuan walked up to Xuan Shaoning and asked softly.

"Or do you understand me, what do you think?"

"I can't think of a clue, the front is the General's Mansion, and I'll know when I get there."

"Hey, it's just your heart!"

"Or else? You can't think of it if you want to break your head, so why can't you get along with yourself. ”

"You're right-talking about this crooked truth!"

"Shhhh

Xuan Shaoning saw the familiar General's Mansion, and finally saw people here, but it was not a person in the traditional sense but a corpse, full of eyes, the General's Mansion was simply surrounded by water, horizontal and vertical, layer upon layer, some of them already showed signs of corruption, and the air was filled with the smell of corpses.

"Remove the corpse, let's go into the General's Mansion!" Geng Yan ordered.

"Commander!" Xuan Shaoning had a different opinion, "Don't move blindly" He walked to a corpse and looked at it carefully for a while, "The corpse is swollen and slightly blue, I'm afraid it is poisonous!" ”

"Sure enough," Geng Yan agreed after looking at the corpse, "let's do it, a few of us go in, and the others are at the door, following orders!" ”

Geng Yan took Xuan Shaoning, Shi Gong Zhengyuan, and more than a dozen Xuanjia soldiers to bypass the corpse and walk into the general's mansion with difficulty. If there is a pile of dead people outside the door, it can be described as a corpse field inside the door, and it can be seen from the clothes that there are soldiers of the Guangyuan Army and ordinary people, and there are bowls next to many corpses, and through the residue in the bowl, Xuan Shaoning judged that it was a herbal medicine.

"There should be a plague or something, General Yang must have organized people to try to treat the sick people," Xuan Shaoning said his conjecture.

"Anyway, let's protect ourselves first!" Shi Gong Zhengyuan took the lead in tearing off a piece of cloth from his shirt to cover his mouth and nose, and the others did the same.

After the school field, the voices began to be faintly heard, and everyone hurried in the direction of the sound, until they reached the highest point of the general's mansion, Xuan Shaoning remembered that the last time he came, this wide platform high above was the place where Yang Jie held a general meeting and swore an oath before the war. The people on the platform heard the footsteps, and they all clenched the blades in their hands vigilantly, staggering and struggling to stand up and prepare for battle.

"Old General Yang, it's us, Xuanjia Army!" Geng Yan shouted, and those who were still alive couldn't help but shake their bodies, and one of them shouted, "Are you really the Xuanjia Army? ”

"The last general is Geng Yan, the commander of the Golden Armor of the Xuanjia Army!"

"We're finally waiting for reinforcements!" The man ran down the platform tremblingly, trying to keep his eyes open, as if he was exerting all his strength to see the person in front of him.

"It's Captain Andu!" Geng Yan held the person in front of him with both hands, this person was indeed An Haoran, the captain of the Guangyuan Army, Xuan Shaoning had fought side by side with him before, and he had an impression of him, but the heroic soldier at the beginning was like a blind man at the moment, although his eyes were wide open, blood flowed out of his sockets, his face was blue, and his whole body trembled.

"What the hell is going on? Where is General Yang Jie? ”

"It's Donghu people! They poisoned us to get to this point, General Yang...... General Yang didn't escape either! ”

"Captain Andu, can you see me?" Xuan Shaoning waved his arms in front of An Haoran.

"I can vaguely see a rough ......"

"Did you become like this after being poisoned?"

"That's right, first the whole body was weak, and slowly the seven orifices began to bleed, and the eyes gradually became invisible."

"Let's go see General Yang first!"

Xuan Shaoning and Shi Gong Zhengyuan helped An Haoran up the steps, and saw that there were many Guangyuan Army soldiers on the platform, but they were already in the same state as An Haoran. In the center of the platform, everyone saw General Yang Jie, who was lying quietly at the moment.

"General Yang!" Geng Yan stretched out his hand to test his nose and found that he was angry, "General Yang is also poisoned!" ”

"That's right, fortunately, you are finally here, and General Yang is saved!" An Haoran showed a tired smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Captain Andu, can you tell us the ins and outs of the matter?" Xuan Shaoning asked.

"Seven days ago, the medical workshop in the closed city appeared one after another patients seeking medical advice, the symptom is general weakness, some also have seven points of bleeding, not only the people, but also similar patients in the Guangyuan army, and the disease spread very fast, just a few days half of the people in the city are sick. Seeing that the Donghu offensive was becoming more and more fierce, and the people were dying more and more, General Yang ordered all the dead bodies to be placed in the east of the city, and all the people were as close as possible to the general's mansion, and ordered the doctors in the city to do their best to diagnose and treat, but until the doctors died, the epidemic was still not controlled, the combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and General Yang himself was sick. Just before he fell unconscious, he ordered Gu Junyuan to lead the people who did not show symptoms to flee to Tianqi Temple in the west of the city, and ordered me to continue to lead my troops to guard the sealed city. ”

After saying a long paragraph, An Haoran obviously lost a lot of physical strength and began to cough, Xuan Shaoning hurriedly handed over the water he was carrying, and Shi Gong Zhengyuan also called Yang Jie's pulse, he shook his head slightly at Xuan Shaoning. At this moment, Xuan Shaoning very much hopes that Bai Luoyao can be on the scene, and she will definitely find a way to heal, but unfortunately, Annan is too far away.

"For the sake of the future, it is necessary to report the situation of the battle and the situation of the fiefdom to the general, and ask him to try to transfer troops to garrison and treat the sick!" Geng Yan instructed, "Shi Gong Zhengyuan, you immediately go and join Fang Qi, clean up the field, and house the wounded soldiers and patients separately; Xuan Shaoning, you take someone to patrol the closure and go to Gu Junyuan by the way! ”

"Yes!"

The situation of the eastern, western, and northern gates of the feudal residence is similar to that of the south gate, except for the soldiers of the Guangyuan Army who died on the city wall, there are no people on the streets, and the corpses of those people are concentrated in the area near the center of the city and a huge pit in the north of the city.

"The original intention was to protect the people, but unfortunately it was a ......failure in the end," Xuan Shaoning lamented.

"Captain, do you think that the people in this feudal city are suffering from the plague?" Qing Cang asked faintly.

"I don't look like it, I still think it's poisoning."

"If it is poisoned, how can the whole city be poisoned?" Meng Kebao then asked.

Standing on the street, Xuan Shaoning thought for a while, "With so many people poisoned at the same time in a short period of time, it is most likely that it should be water!" ”

"You're saying someone poisoned the water!" Qing Cang couldn't help but shout, and was knocked back on the head by Meng Kebao, "Your big mouth is from Cao Tie!" ”

"Cao Tie is still recuperating from his injuries at this moment, don't I sigh that our Xuanxiao Lieutenant is smart!"

"The facts haven't been confirmed, Captain Xuan has always been low-key and steady, you haven't understood it after following it for so long?"

"You know!"

"Alright! You two have the strength to quarrel and hurry up to find Gu Duwei, I will go to the city to find a water source. ”

"Go alone, if something happens, it's not like there is no helper, why don't you let me come along?" Meng Kebao proposed. Not to be outdone, Qingcang said, "Take me with you!" ”

"This is an order, if you can't find Captain Gu, you two will deal with it by military law, do you understand?"

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

Xuan Shaoning shook his head helplessly and dispersed with the two at the fork in the street. Because the fiefdom is built on the wasteland outside the Saiwai, the water source is the primary consideration when the city is built, but there is no river around the fiefdom, so it must be from the ground to divert water, and when I came back to the fiefdom, I found that the big families had their own wells, and the poor families also shared a well, yes, finding the well can verify their inference!

Xuan Shaoning pushed the door into a house, easily picked up a bucket of water from the well, and put it in the courtyard to look carefully, the water quality was clear, because the shaking water surface rippled back and forth, and he couldn't see any difference at all, Xuan Shaoning put his nose close to smell it, and he could smell a faint earthy smell.

Could it be that I was wrong? No, this desert border water is the most precious resource, which can poison all the people of a city in a short time, and there will be nothing else but the water source! Xuan Shaoning glanced at the reflection on the water surface and found that a dark shadow flashed behind him. Xuan Shaoning stood up at the same time and turned around and took out a flying knife from his waist and threw it in the direction of the black shadow's movement, a series of actions were completed between the lightning and flint, and when Xuan Shaoning stood firm, the flying knife had been inserted into the wooden door frame, and the black shadow fell to the ground with an 'oops', and when the black shadow turned his head to look in the direction of the attacker, the blade of the sword had already reached his throat.

"Who?"

"I....... I am a citizen of the city! ”

It turned out to be a female voice! Xuan Shaoning's strength in holding the sword suddenly dropped a little, but his vigilance was still undiminished, and he ordered, "Come to the courtyard!" ”

The black shadow slowly stood up and left the eaves under the compulsion of Xuan Shaoning, who saw the black shadow's face clearly: messy hair, slightly dirty face, and the clothes on his body were extremely ordinary linen shirts.

"What the hell are you doing here? All the people of the fiefdom have been moved, so why don't you go? ”

The woman also saw the person in front of her clearly, and from the other party's armor, she could tell that it was not the Donghu army, and the uneasiness that had been hanging on her face subsided a little, and she replied resignedly: "The little woman is a pharmacist in the Bai family medicine workshop, dare to ask this military master, have the Donghu people been repulsed?" ”

"Are you from the Bai Family Pharmacy? Why haven't I seen you before? ”

"Back to the military master, I only came to the Bai family pharmacy a month ago, the military master has been in the pharmacy for a long time, and I haven't seen the little woman......"

"I'm a Xuanjia military captain, you don't have to be so afraid of me, the Donghu army has been defeated by us." Xuan Shaoning looked at the woman's trembling all over her body, and couldn't bear it, seeing that her answer was not wrong, and her expression was natural, so she put down the sword in her hand, "Since you are a citizen of this feudal city, why did you come here alone?" ”

"Back to the military master, I watched the people around me continue to die, judging from their deaths, the little woman thought that the poisoning was suspicious, and several guys in the medicine shop, including the little woman, had been fine, so I felt that there must be medicinal materials for the treatment of this poison in the medicine shop, but the war outside the city, several pharmacists were reluctant to come out and take risks, the little woman had to come by herself, and she was looking for medicinal materials in the medicine shop when she heard a sound in the courtyard and came to see."

What the? This is the White Family Pharmacy?
