Li Yanzhao was lying on the sickbed, and the two guards on duty in the room were all sleepy, each leaning against the wall and falling asleep.

It didn't take long for the door of the wing room to be pushed open, and a person holding a candle slowly walked to the house, frowning at Li Yanzhao on the sickbed.

The sound of the door opening alarmed one of the guards, and he woke up suddenly, but saw a black shadow under the candlelight, and quickly pulled out the ring knife on his waist, and asked sharply, "Who?" ”

The man standing in the middle of the room brought the candle close to his face: "Don't panic, it's me." ”

When the guard saw that familiar face, it was Taishou. So he breathed a sigh of relief, and then as if he remembered something, half of his body came out of cold sweat, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "My subordinates were negligent and fell asleep for a while, please forgive me!" ”

Xin Taishou held the candle flame and waved his hand gently: "It's okay, go to sleep when you're sleepy, I'll keep watch." ”

The guard hung his head: "The subordinates don't dare." He stood aside quietly.

"Wang Langzhong has come to see it?" Taishou asked softly.

"Yes, not long after I sent him back at noon yesterday, Wang Langzhong came to see him." The guard replied cautiously.

"Did Wang Langzhong tell you anything?" Taishou asked again.

The guard pondered for a moment and said, "Wang Langzhong said that if you change the dressing in two days, if you find that the person's wound is pus and festering, etc., go to him immediately." Also, he said that this person was seriously injured and difficult to treat, and he had tried his best, but whether he could survive it or not depended on his own creation. ”

"I see." Taishou sat on the couch and said leisurely. After a while, he raised his head again: "You two go down, and if you are sleepy, you will replace two of you." Take care of this person, don't make a mistake, if there is something, be sure to report it in time! ”

"Yes! Subordinates remember! The guard clasped his fists in salute, then quietly stepped aside, woke up his still sleeping companion, and the two of them cautiously walked out of the chamber together.

When the two of them went out, they vaguely heard the soft sigh of the Taishou in the house: "I, Guangwu Army, have already folded one general, and I must not fold another one!" ”

After a quarter of an hour, when the replacement guards came to the chamber, Taishou gave a careful admonition before leaving.

The next morning, when the guards who had changed several waves were bored and drowsy, they suddenly heard Li Yanzhao on the couch shouting: "Kill!" ”

The two were startled and instantly sobered up a lot, but when they looked at the couch, Li Yanzhao was still lying quietly. The two got up and approached, and observed carefully for a moment in the faint morning light, but looked at Li Yanzhao with his eyes closed.

The two of them were full of doubts, and they sat back on the stool in the wing, but they saw Li Yanzhao on the couch waving his hand violently and said impassionedly: "Fight to the death and never retreat!" ”

The two stepped forward to check again, but Li Yanzhao on the couch still had his eyes closed. The expressions of the two have changed from eccentricity to admiration.

A guard whispered: "This Li Sima is also a tough guy!" ”

Another asked, "Do you know anything about him?" Fu Jun doesn't know why, but he is so concerned about this person. ”

"I had a chat with the cavalry who escorted this Li Sima to come for a while, this Li Sima led his troops to guard the camp on the north bank of Jincheng, the night before yesterday, the thieves raided the camp, Li Sima led the troops to fight bloodily, fought hard all night, and then Yongdeng County reinforcements arrived, Li Sima's subordinates carried him down the camp wall who was seriously injured......"

The other person nodded slightly, and sighed again: "It's a pity, this Li Sima, I don't know if it's good or not now, listening to Wang Langzhong's tone, this injury is not optimistic." ”

"Alas, this Li Sima, who was still a homeless from Guanzhong, joined the army at the beginning two years ago, and was just a horse breeder. In just two years, he was promoted to Sima...... Alas, what a pity. When the horsemen talked about him, everyone admired him. But I don't know if he can escape this time......"

The two were talking, and the door of the wing room was pushed open again. The two were immediately silenced. Then he looked closely, but saw Taishou holding an old man, trembling into the door, and coming towards the couch.

The two of them immediately got up and stood aside. The old man threw himself in front of the couch and rubbed Li Yanzhao's face, already sobbing.

Taishou also pulled a cushion, and then knelt down in front of the couch, softly comforting the old man.

"Yanzhao...... How did you...... Why are you like this! From Yun, you make me an old man, how can I tell her! Wake up...... A bunch of people are waiting for you! My son's martial arts are useless! Alas......"

The old man lay down in front of the couch and cried heartily. Taishou was on the side, and he didn't know how to comfort him. I had to let the old man cry.

After a long while, Taishou reluctantly persuaded the sad old man to get up, and then helped him to walk outside......

For the next two days, Li Yanzhao was in a coma. Eating, drinking, and drinking medicine can only be opened by the guards in the county government who take turns to take care of him, and pour it in little by little. Taishou specially ordered that the meals prepared for him were all boiled millet porridge, and after it was cooled, the guards who took care of it took small spoons and fed it little by little. Fortunately, although Li Yanzhao was in a coma, he was still able to swallow on his own, which saved these guards a lot of trouble.

When the dressing was changed two days later, the guards opened the strip of cloth on Li Yanzhao's body, but found that the wound was not only red and swollen, but also had yellow pus oozing out. After Wang Langzhong came, he found that Li Yanzhao had already launched a high fever. I had to change the strips of cloth that wrapped the wounds with a worried look, and then scrubbed the wound with salt water, applied medicine, and wrapped the wound again.

When Wang Langzhong walked out of the wing, his expression was melancholy. Taishou, who came to hear the news, inquired about the injury, but saw Wang Langzhong shaking his head again and again. After being silent for a long time, Wang Langzhong spoke: "Now his wound is filled with pus, and the high fever does not stop, I am afraid that he will ......."

Wang Langzhong didn't say anything, but Taishou already understood what he meant. Sending Wang Langzhong into the carriage, Taishou returned to the county government worriedly, and went to the side room to take a look, but saw Li Yanzhao with a wet handkerchief on his forehead, muttering nonsense.

Li Yanzhao's high fever has continued, and now that the guards are feeding and watering, he is difficult to swallow. He often fed a few spoonfuls, and when he turned around, he spit it out again...... The high fever that has not gone away, as well as the wounds that have been red and swollen and filled with pus, have cast a thick haze on everyone's mood......

Too punctual came to visit the wing room from time to time, looking at Li Yanzhao, whose condition seemed to be getting worse. The mood is also becoming more and more gloomy. Now under this critical situation, the Guangwu Army has been sent to the front line, but it has fought hard repeatedly, so that the soldiers have been lost and their vitality has been greatly damaged. Some time ago, Du Jie was killed in battle, and Zhao Chengzhi was seriously injured, although he has not healed now, but unlike Li Yanzhao, he is no longer in danger of his life. After several battles, the five senior generals above the rank of lieutenant have been killed and wounded three. Not to mention the low-level generals and soldiers, what heavy casualties will be! [.]
