Chapter 238: Eighty-Five: Fighting for the River Bridge and Generous and Sad Song (10)
Chen Yuankang watched from the side that even the imperial doctor started together, and together with Yizheng and the golden sore doctor, he tore Gao Cheng's close-fitting middle shirt, revealing the wound of the arrow in his right shoulder, which was clearly visible. The whole arrow was embedded in the flesh from the cluster of arrows, the wound was black, purple, red and swollen, the skin was rotten, and all around it were coagulated crimson blood. The dried blood clots were already blackened.
When the box was opened, there were knives and scissors, nine needles were ready, and under the bright light of the lamps and candles, there was a faint cold light, which was unimaginable to apply such a sharp blade to the skin and flesh. If it weren't for the fact that the purpose was completely opposite, the practitioner of medicine would be no different from the murderer in terms of process alone.
Chen Yuankang looked at Gao Cheng, who had woken up from a semi-comatose state, and he was completely awake at this time. It's just that Chen Yuankang has never seen the prince so powerless and at the mercy of others. Gao Cheng frowned, unconsciously revealing that he was trying to endure the pain. Seeing that the imperial physician and the doctor were surrounding him, pointing and pointing, he didn't know what he was saying, anyway, it sounded like he didn't understand the ancient words of the doctor.
The gold sore doctor took out a shiny knife in the bag. This knife is only a few inches long, and two-thirds is the handle, which is slightly wider and flattened, making it easier to grasp the proportions. The blade is only one-third of the size of the entire knife, and the blade is thin and long, like a willow leaf, and the blade is as sharp as paper. Holding this knife in his hand makes people feel like they are holding a hidden weapon in their hands, ready to send it out at any time.
Chen Yuankang didn't know it when he saw the gold sore doctor, and he looked completely normal with the sharp weapon in his hand, and he was already familiar with this matter. It's just that the lancet shone silver at the tip of the lamp in the light of the candle, and it almost flashed so hard that one could not open his eyes. Such a sharp blade made him look at the flesh and skin added to the prince with his own eyes, and he was terrified no matter how he thought about it.
Gao Cheng, who was lying on the couch, could only breathe, because he had never experienced such an experience, so he seemed to be a little numb. may be really uncomfortable, and urge the doctor to heal quickly.
The golden sore doctor ordered the wine to be hot, and after instructing the servants, he himself began to rummage in his suitcase again, very intently looking for something. And like looking for something very important. But he tossed and turned for a long time to no avail, his brows were twisted into pimples, and he muttered to himself, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.
Chen Yuankang felt that there was a problem here, but he didn't understand what the problem was, so he stared at the golden sore doctor. But the gold sore doctor turned a blind eye to him, and only looked for something.
Gao Cheng, who was still on the couch, couldn't bear it anymore, and urged the imperial doctor to order. Seeing that the general was about to be furious, the Imperial Doctor Ling was so frightened that he lost his temper with the Golden Sore Doctor and ordered him to hurry up.
Who knew that the Golden Sore Doctor threw away the box, straightened up and replied to the Imperial Doctor, "Ma Boiling Powder can't be found." ”
Hearing the words of the Golden Sore Doctor, the Imperial Doctor Ling and several doctors stared at him in unison, so shocked that they couldn't speak. But Chen Yuankang and Gao Cheng on the couch looked at them blankly, not understanding what they meant.
"Go and find it, find it!" It was the imperial doctor's order that reflected first, and the doctors dispersed like a flock of birds in fright, and went to find the "hemp boiling dispersion" in the mouth of the golden sore doctor.
Chen Yuankang stared at this chaotic scene with wide eyes, and his heart became nervous.
Gao Cheng, who was lying on the couch, felt uncomfortable in no place, and was almost impatient.
In a few moments, the servants had already brought the hot rice wine. The doctors who dispersed came back one by one to report the order of the imperial doctor, and the "Ma Boiling San" was still missing.
"Minions! What do you want?! Gao Cheng on the couch couldn't help it anymore and said angrily.
Even his current anger seemed weak, and the qi in his voice was obviously insufficient, but it was enough to make the Imperial Doctor tremble.
"The minister is derelict in his duties, don't be angry, it will not be good for the wounds......" The Imperial Doctor Ling knelt down in fright.
The doctors also knelt down one after another, and apologized for their crimes.
The golden sore doctor, who was kneeling behind the Imperial Physician Ling, knelt a few steps forward, and when he reached the Imperial Physician Ling's side, Fu Er came up with an idea, "How about using fennel?" ”
This suggestion saved Taiyi Ling's life at a critical moment, and Taiyi Ling was obviously relieved. But Imperial Doctor Ling glanced at the Golden Sore Doctor with unbelieving eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Is it all ready?" "If you make someone turn over on your back like you just did when you were looking for Ma Boiling San, and you can't find it all over again, then you will really die by yourself.
Don't dare to delay any longer, the imperial physician Ling personally brought the hot rice wine to the bed, and the doctor Ling was helping the general Gao Cheng up and asked Gao Cheng to drink it. It's also rare to find rice wine at this time, which is really not easy. Although Gao Cheng didn't understand what this was for, he obediently listened to the words of the imperial doctor and drank a cup of rice wine.
After drinking the hot rice wine, I felt that my body was hot, my ears were roaring, and my head was dizzy, but the pain in the wound was not so obvious. The Imperial Doctor ordered the Golden Sore Doctor to hurry up, and the Golden Sore Doctor sprayed fennel at Gao Cheng's middle arrow. After a while, Gao Cheng felt that the injury was numb, and there was no other feeling except for Su Ma.
In fact, hot wine is used to take hemp boiling loose drink. After drinking the hemp and boiling it, the patient seems to be sleepy, and he has no feeling at all even if he is convenient for the skin and flesh of the blade, which is the most effective anesthetic. Who knew that when the matter came, such an important hemp boiling was actually found in the panic. It had to be replaced with fennel agent. Fennel agent also has the effect of hemp boiling, but it cannot be drunk, and can only be sprayed on the wound, only making the wound temporarily unconscious. Moreover, it is difficult to say how long this "temporary" time limit is, and it varies from person to person.
After drinking hot rice wine first, and then spraying fennel agent, Gao Cheng slowly felt a headache, and it became worse and worse. After a while, I began to feel chills again, so cold that I felt like I was immersed in ice water, and I almost shivered. He wanted to grasp something and save himself from the conflict between ice and fire. However, the Golden Sore Doctor held him down.
The Imperial Physician ordered a few careful gestures on the side, but did not move. Several doctors were following the orders of the imperial physician to hold the general's limbs, and some were pressing his shoulders. Gao Cheng was pressed and couldn't move, and he couldn't turn over and over again, but he wanted to break free. At this moment, he was cold and painful, and there was an indescribable fear in his heart, he was completely manipulated in the hands of others, like meat on the anvil and slaughtered by others.
"Hold on to the general." The Golden Sore Doctor looked up dissatisfied, and shouted loudly to one of the doctors.
This kind of skin and flesh cutting all depends on the golden sore doctor, and the doctor had to obey his orders and pressed Gao Cheng's shoulder, so as to completely deal with Gao Cheng's action of wanting to break free.
The fingers of his left hand lightly scratched the middle arrow, and then gently pressed his fingers on Gao Cheng's skin, and then before others could react, his right hand had already been aimed at the wound and stabbed it with a lancet. Raw with a thin blade cut a hole in the skin.
"Shizi ......" Chen Yuankang was shocked when he saw it, and blurted out that he couldn't hold back a few steps and rushed to the couch.
"Long ...... Brother You ...... "Gao Cheng himself can't see it, but when he heard Chen Yuankang call him, he immediately responded to him. He knew in his heart that only Chen Yuankang was the closest person to him at the moment.
Gao Cheng quieted down, no longer breaking free in shock and fear like just now. He didn't even have the strength to breathe, but his cheeks were abnormally red, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans. The feeling he felt at this time was different from just now, and the feeling of pain surpassed the cold. He could delicately and truly feel that the sharp blade was cutting his own flesh, because the medicinal power of fennel powder had dissipated so quickly, and it hardly had much effect on him.
At this time, nothing attracted his attention, and Gao Cheng's entire mind was forced to focus on the feeling of his flesh being cut. Just now, it was as if I was in the cold, but now I was stimulated by this sharp pain and was covered in cold sweat.
I have never seen the son of the world so helpless and powerless. Chen Yuankang saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, but he could only watch from the sidelines.
What the Imperial Physician ordered and the doctor to do was to heal the general's injuries, and not to be implicated because of a mistake in this matter. No one alone would have thought about how the general felt now, whether it hurts or not, whether he is afraid or not? They had never thought about this, and almost no one would look at Gao Cheng, and everyone's eyes were focused on his wounds, on the leaf knife in the hand of the golden sore doctor.
The golden sore doctor concentrated all his strength, and at this time he had already put aside the identity of the general, and in his eyes, Gao Cheng at this moment was no different from a pig or a sheep. He cut the wound with a fir-lancet, and reached out to catch what looked like a two-strand fork handed over by the doctor.
Obviously, this doctor is also often an assistant to the gold sore doctor, and he is used to doing this, and the timing of handing things is just right, and the position where he sent it is just right for the gold sore doctor to take it over and hold it in his hand at once. And in this process, neither of them said a word, nor did they look at anyone.
If the Lancet cut the wound just now made people feel pain, then the pain of the subsequent process will be a hundred times stronger than just now. What is especially unfavorable is that the medicinal power of fennel powder has completely failed. The doctor sprayed some fennel powder again, and this time Gao Cheng didn't feel the feeling of Ma Susu again. Pain had taken over all his senses.
Except for Gao Cheng, no one noticed that the sky had completely darkened. Only Gao Cheng's consciousness was dim and thought that now that he was under control in the county government of Heyin City, and his life and death were uncertain, he suddenly remembered the Great General's Mansion in Yecheng.
Under the lamp, where everyone's eyes were condensed, the "two forks" of the Golden Sore Doctor's size and length were the same as those of the lancet, and slowly poked down at the wound of the great general Gao Cheng. The two forks are slender and look more like sharp weapons, and the sharp arrows embedded in the cut wounds are even more shocking.
The wound was a blur of flesh and blood. The incision is made in order to launch the arrow cluster more smoothly. These two forks are the sharp weapons used to unleash the clusters of arrows. The golden sore doctor skillfully fixed the arrow body with two forks, and began to slowly open the arrow cluster to the outside little by little by the texture of the flesh under the skin.
Gao Cheng groaned unconsciously in pain. But his moans of pain could neither move nor stop the Golden Sore. Dr. Golden Sores continues to do what he has to do decisively and firmly. He knew very well in his heart that he had to unleash the arrows as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and it would only bleed and kill people.
"The son endures...... Soon it will be ......" Chen Yuankang comforted Gao Cheng with a trembling voice. He really wished that he could replace the son.
Gao Cheng didn't answer, he held Chen Yuankang's hand weakly, but he gritted his teeth hard, and he was already desperately enduring it.
The night was dark, and Hou Jing, the assassin of Yuzhou, had been waiting in the courtyard. He neither left nor entered, and did not leave to show that he was concerned and worried, and could not bear to leave the general; If you don't go in and stay outside, you want to avoid any suspicion, even if the general's injuries change, they have nothing to do with him.
The room was brightly lit and full of figures, and Hou Jing could see clearly from the outside, and he could also feel the chaos and busyness inside. It seemed so quiet that he barely heard any talking. It's itchy in my heart, I don't know if Gao Cheng's injury is important.
Before Gao Cheng was carried in just now, looking at his complexion and listening to him, it didn't seem to be very serious. But if it wasn't serious, how could he feel a tense atmosphere so clearly?
Hou Jing's eyes stared at Gao Cheng who was healing in the room, and he was still thinking about Gao Aocao, the governor of the capital who was chasing west outside Heyin City. Not only because of Gao Aocao, but also because of his son, Hou He, the general of Wuwei, was also ordered to pursue Xikou together. But why hasn't Hou He sent any news?
Hou Jing didn't want Gao Aocao to destroy Yuwentai in one fell swoop, nor did he want Yuwentai to completely flip over and win a big victory. What he wants is actually a kind of mutual check and balance between the two sides. Only in this kind of mutual checks and balances can he seize the greatest benefits for himself and make himself stand firm.
Whether it was Hou Jing who was distracted in the courtyard at this time, or Gao Cheng, who had no time to take care of in the house, he didn't know that Gao Aocao's situation had changed against the sky, putting him in danger. And Gao Aocao's danger will not be just him, and the entire Eastern Wei Dynasty will also be in danger again.
Chen Yuankang forced the general of Wuwei Hou He to go west to chase the governor Gao Aocao. Chen Yuankang's original intention was that he was afraid that Hou Jing, Hou and the father and son would join forces and cause branches when the general Gao Cheng was seriously injured. Moreover, this is indeed the order of the great general Gao Cheng, and Hou He is the vanguard of Gao Aocao, which is also an auxiliary to Gao Aocao. Another important point is to borrow Hou He to pass the order, as long as Yuwentai is repulsed, the metropolitan governor Gao Ao Cao will follow the order of the general Gao Cheng to return to Heyin City immediately.
However, now everything has deviated from Gao Cheng's original intention. The reason is because of Gao Aocao's urgency, self-reliance, and eagerness to kill the enemy, but he put himself in danger.
Dozens of miles outside the city of Heyin, the remnants of the Eastern Wei army will retreat in defeat.
Gao Aocao was covered in blood at this time, and his armor was crooked. The soldiers and soldiers who followed him also lost their armor one by one, and they were covered in blood. Seeing that Heyin was in sight, Gao Aocao finally felt that a stone fell to the ground in his heart. According to his speculation, the general Gao Cheng must have gone to the nearest Heyin City to heal his wounds, and was temporarily exempted from war. He just took this opportunity to meet with the general Gao Cheng in Heyin, and then discuss the next step together.
Seeing that Heyin City was in sight, Gao Aocao was too tired and was about to enter the city to rest, so he relaxed after getting rid of Xikou. Only then could he be in the mood to think about the past war.
Knowing that the general Gao Cheng was injured by an arrow, he happened to lead his troops to rescue, so he fought with the Western Wei army led by Yuwentai and Zhao Gui. In the melee, Xikou fought and retreated, and Gao Aocao came violently from the tiger prison, so he naturally refused to let Yuwentai escape.
