Chapter Ninety-Five: A Turning Point

readx;?“ Sir, you better get on the horse and let me lead the horse. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Xu Huang held the little boy in his arms, and said that he was going to get off the horse to change the old man to get on the horse."

The old man stopped and smiled at Xu Huang, "The general is laughing at the old man's old age and delaying his journey." ”

Xu Huang was choked by the old man's words, and he couldn't say something in his throat. How could the old man not know what Xu Huang meant, "I hope the general will take care of his old grandson." I saw the old man slap his palm on the horse's buttocks, and the war horse was in pain, and he spread the horse's hooves and ran.

Xu Huang grabbed the reins, held the little boy tightly in his arms, and turned back to look at the old man. I saw the old man standing in the moonlight, the breeze was blowing, and the sleeves of his clothes fluttered like an immortal in the world. Xu Huang shook his head and drove away the illusion in his mind, but there was no trace of the old man, and the war horse ran too fast.

After running for a long time, Chang'an City appeared in front of Xu Huang's eyes, and he was both happy and worried. I am happy because there is still a big flag of Cao Zi fluttering at the head of the city, and I am worried that the old man who can suspend the poison is still missing at this time.

"Is the general looking for old decay?" A dark figure sprang out of the nearby woods.

Xu Huang, who was sitting on the horse, secretly screamed in his heart, and touched the handle of the axe with his right hand, protecting the little boy in his arms for the first time.

When the little boy saw the comer, he shouted, "It's my grandfather, it's my grandfather." ”

After looking closely, it was the old man who had fallen behind just now, and Xu Huang sent away the hand holding the handle of the axe and dismounted to meet the old man. Seeing that there were no horses or other mounts that could be ridden around, Xu Huang was very puzzled, "I don't know how Mr. rushed to Xu Huang's front?" ”

The old man smiled silently, pointed to his feet, and hugged his grandson who was sitting on the horse.

Xu Huang stepped forward and wanted to ask, but was interrupted by the old man's words, "At this time, it's not about how to get to the front of the general, the top priority is in the city." ”

Xu Huang patted his forehead, scolding in his heart, almost breaking the big thing. I saw that Xu Huang didn't say a word, turned over and came to the city wall, and shouted, "Open the city gate quickly, I am Xu Huang." ”

At this time, Xiahou Shan, who was patrolling the city wall, heard someone shouting under the city, so he came up to the lookout to observe. Through the lookout, I saw a man and a horse under the city, and the person on the horse was carrying a Xuanhua axe, which was somewhat similar to Xu Huang. But Xiahou Shan didn't dare to open the city gate without permission, this time was a critical moment, and there was no room for the slightest mistake. Xiahou Shan hurriedly sent someone to report to Cao Shuang, now Cao Shuang is the supreme commander in Chang'an City, and everything is decided by Cao Shuang.

Cao Shuang, who was about to sleep, heard that someone in the city wanted to enter the city, and this person may also be Xu Huang, who had been missing for many days. Cao Shuang instantly fell asleep and went straight to the north city of Chang'an. Hurried to the city wall, Xiahou Shan greeted him, "Meet Gongzi." ”

Cao Shuang waved his hand, "Is the city General Xu?" ”

"I'm not sure." Xiahou Shan shook his head, although he also hoped that Xu Huang was still alive, but there was no room for mistakes at this time. In case it is the pretense of the Xiliang coalition army, with the current situation in Chang'an, the city gate will be opened and the city of Chang'an will be basically broken.

The shouts under the city were higher than one another, and Cao Shuang's index finger kept beating on the city wall, and his heart was very tormented.

Seeing that the city gate had not been opened for a long time, the old man lit a homemade torch, leaving his grandson to hide in the woods, and came to Xu Huang's side alone, "General, please take off your helmet." ”

Xu Huang hesitated for a moment, suddenly realized, and hurriedly took off the helmet on his head. Under the city walls, the unpoisoned soldiers drew their bows and arrows, ready to shoot the two people under the city at any time. They are all Xiahou Yuan's personal guards, and they have Xiahou Yuan's guidance and superb archery skills.

"Go and open the city gate, it's General Xu Huang who is under the city." By the light of the fire, Xiahou Shan saw the faces of the people in the city clearly, and hurriedly sent someone down to open the city gate, Cao Shuang also hurried to the city gate to meet Xu Huang when he heard it.

As soon as the city gate opened, Xu Huang took the old man and his grandson into the city. Cao Shuang and Xiahou Shan stepped forward to compensate Xu Huang, "Please forgive General Xu, the situation is urgent, and I have to take precautions." ”

Xu Huang arched his hand towards the two of them, with a faint smile on his face, he didn't take it to heart at all. If it were him, he would do the same, after all, he couldn't take the safety of Chang'an City and the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers as child's play.

"You are Cao Shuang and Cao Gongzi, right?" The old man on one side took his grandson's hand and suddenly asked, the boy's face full of gratitude.

"It's down here, I don't know what the old gentleman has to do?" Cao Shuang saluted the old man and asked softly.

"It's saved." Xu Huang was about to introduce the old man's origin to Cao Shuang, but he didn't expect the old man to pull his grandson and kneel down for Cao Shuang first, "The old man has thanked the benefactor here, and I thank the benefactor for saving his life." ”

Everyone present was stunned by this scene, Cao Shuang looked at Xu Huang with a questioning face, you brought the person, what is going on?

Xu Huang was also stunned, and his face was full of questions and a little embarrassed, and I didn't know what was going on.

"Haha, it's all because the old man didn't make it clear." Cao Shuang hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, and the old man looked at the questions on everyone's faces, and explained the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that the old man's grandson was lost a year ago, and the old man searched for many places, but he couldn't find it. Later, it was the bad guy who sent his grandson back, and when he inquired about his grandson who was abducted to Xuchang by his teeth, Cao Shuang hit the people and sent the rescued children back to their relatives through bad people from all over the country, and the little boy was one of them.

"It doesn't look like Eun Gong has been poisoned." When Cao Shuang went to pull the old man, the old man's hand was gently on Cao Shuang's wrist, and he had already checked Cao Shuang's pulse.

Cao Shuang's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he saluted the old man, "Does the old gentleman know about this poison?" ”

"Yes." The old man's answer was crisp and neat, without any dragging his feet.

Xiahou Shan and the others all looked at the old man very excitedly, since the old man knew about this poison, then there must be a way to detoxify. But then. The old man's words poured a basin of cold water on everyone, "The old man not only knows this poison, but also can cure it, but the antidote lacks a taste of herbs." The old decay traveled all over the country and didn't find it, so he couldn't solve it. ”

Looking at everyone's disappointed expressions, the old man was helpless. took out a few packets of medicinal powder from the medicine box and handed them to Cao Shuang, and instructed Cao Shuang to pour the medicinal powder into the water source and give it to the soldiers to take it, so as to delay the time of the poison.

"Why didn't Cao Gongzi and these people get poisoned?" The old man asked Cao Shuang very curiously, "I wonder if you have eaten anything together?" Or what have you drunk? ”

Cao Shuang looked at Xiahou Shan, Xiahou Shan looked at Cao Shuang, and the eyes of the two were full of memories. There is not much intersection between the two, and the meals they eat are all meals in the barracks, Cao Shuang has eaten, and Xiahou Shan may not be able to eat them, if you want to talk about eating and drinking together.

The two of them suddenly thought of something, and said in unison, "Harrier Mountain!" ”
