Chapter 72: The Return of Pan Jun

Thank you for the monthly ticket of Brother Shi Mengqian, hehe, the name after the big change is very powerful!

……

Coming back from Pan Zhang's side, Chen Nuo's brows never fell, and he wrinkled into a knot.

Two days have passed, and there is no news from the woman in red, and Pan Zhang still has nosebleeds from time to time, so that he has to go back to lie on the couch. As for the other affected soldiers, when they returned to the camp, they also showed the same symptoms. Chen Nuo found that although the symptoms of these people were different, they basically came from the seven orifices. In other words, there is a possibility of bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose, and mouth on the head. There are those who have bleeding noses, those who have bleeding ears, those whose eyes are cloudy and bloodshot, and those who swallow blood......

Among them, vomiting blood is the most elegant and the most serious. You can know without asking, if a person vomits blood all day long, even if there is more blood in his body, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist such vomiting, and he will still take a big gulp. During this time, no less than 20 people died vomiting blood. Although Chen Nuo spent a lot of money to recruit folk doctors, they all came enthusiastically, and those who swept their eyebrows went without skills. The camp was therefore shrouded in a bleakness, the army's morale was unstable, and their morale fell, which made Chen Nuo very depressed.

In the battle outside the city that day, although the first half of the battle was a big victory, and the number of enemies annihilated was no less than five or six hundred, the second half was miserable and ended in a big defeat. According to later statistics, in this battle, the number of armor soldiers was 300, and most of them were cavalry, and the loss of horses reached hundreds. Although this number does not seem to be much, it accounts for more than one-sixth of the Chen Nuo cavalry brigade, which originally only had less than five or six hundred horses. As for those who were directly affected by the 'Gu vowel attack' and suffered trauma, there were seven or eight hundred, accounting for almost a quarter of the total number of troops, which was not a heavy blow to morale. I think that if it weren't for Chen Nuo personally leading the troops to welcome them back to the city in time and fighting back against Li Dao, otherwise the losses would have to be reweighed, it would be a big number, and it is very likely that Chen Nuo would have collapsed because of the first battle and returned to the original.

Fortunately, there are still more than 2,000 capable fighters in his city, and there are also prisoners of the First Battle in the Corpse Country, many of whom surrendered to him, and can barely cope with the general attack. Of course, in order not to affect their morale, these vital soldiers were isolated from those armor soldiers who were affected by the 'Gu vowel attack', otherwise the situation would only be worse. But Rao is like this, if he can't sweep away this dark cloud hanging over the whole army in time, he is afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable.

Of course, as for those residents in the city who were not directly affected, Chen Nuo would not casually say anything about the 'Gu vowel attack' that he heard from the woman in red, otherwise at that time, not only the military camp would be affected, but also the inside and outside of the Yanshi City would be completely boiling, and people's hearts would be in chaos.

Regarding the formation of the 'Gu vowel attack', Chen Nuo certainly knew it from the woman in red, and deeply understood the conditions that induced this 'Gu vowel attack', but it was because the residents of the city and the military drinking water were poisoned by the enemy's spies. This kind of 'poison' is, of course, 'Gu'. As long as the enemy takes out the son of a certain 'Gu Mother', kills this 'Gu', and throws its venom into a nearby river or even a well, as long as others use the water in it, they will basically be 'Gu' invisibly, and there will be 'Gu' in their bodies.

And since there is an invisible 'Gu Child' in this body, the caster only needs to beat the drumstick, and the sound of the drum comes out, which invisibly wakes up the sleeping 'Gu Mother'. The so-called mother-child connection, then those 'Gu's hidden in the human body will also be restless, so that there is no regular crawling in the human body, and even drill into the brain, affecting the brain center, thereby destroying the nerves and making people feel all kinds of palpitations and paralysis.

As for those who are more seriously affected, it is also because they are close to the sound of the drum, and the sound of the drum is close, and the Gu Zi and the Gu Mother are close to the end of the world, and they cannot be seen for a while, which will naturally make the 'Gu Zi' among them even more uneasy, and the frequency of accumulation is bound to rise with the tide. And once there is no law, what you do without taboo will naturally stir up the human body to turn over the river and the sea, rupture the organs, explode the blood vessels, and even die on the spot. In this way, it is not difficult to explain the strange phenomenon of countless soldiers outside the Yanshi City who vomited blood and died when they heard the sound of drums.

Although these phenomena are weird, Chen Nuo should not believe in these messy evil arts, but because of the fact that Luoyang Chengnan had the honor to enjoy the scene when the woman in red cast the spirit snake, he also had to believe it. In this world, there are many strange things, and there are countless things that cannot be explained clearly, but these things are real and real, so you can't deny them in one bite.

How did he get here? From 1,800 years later. Is this weird or not? Spooky, of course. Moreover, he wears it, and he can still snatch people's souls and dominate the master's body. Is this weird or not? Spooky, of course. So can it be explained clearly in three words? Can't explain! That's right, since even weird things like crossing and seizing can happen in this world, then compared to the scene that really happened outside Yanshi City and vomited blood when he heard the drum, it was a piece of cake, which further highlighted the rationality of the existence of things in it.

It was precisely because he witnessed the strange skills of the woman in red in the south of Luoyang City that he thought of her for the first time after the incident outside Yanshi City. In the current situation, of course, he can only believe her. So much so that he understood that his cooperation with her this time might be a deal with the devil, and it would inevitably cost a lot of money, but he went to her without any scruples. Of course, in doing this, in addition to not being willing to give up halfway to the hegemony, he didn't want to give up the soldiers he had worked so hard to cultivate, and he didn't want the people of Yanshi City to be affected by this. Therefore, he would rather let her make a move first and then listen to the conditions without hesitation to agree to her, rather than waste a moment of time.

If you delay for a moment longer, then you will be one step closer to death, of course Chen Nuo understands this truth.

However, two days have passed, and there is still no news of the woman in red, can Chen Nuoyan not be anxious? Rao is his self-respecting identity, keep calm, and he can't hold his footing. He went to the camp during the day to check on the wounded, and at night he went to see General Pan Zhang. General Pan Zhang is a rare equestrian expert, and he is relieved to have the cavalry in his training camp. However, once Pan Zhang lay down, the cavalry department would have no one to worry about him for the time being.

Originally, the cavalry battalion was only full of veterans, and they could be self-contained without too much training and ready to fight. Only because of the battle in the corpse country, he Chen Nuo captured many of Zhang Ji's cavalry, and brought 300 horses, some of which were persuaded and promised to surrender to Chen Nuo, so that when the new army joined, it would naturally have to be reorganized. These cavalrymen are all veterans who have followed Zhang Ji all the year round, so they don't have to worry about training, they can fight when they are taken out, and their combat ability is also very good.

But then again, after all, these people came from Yiqi, and without good integration, loyalty is naturally difficult to guarantee. At this time, if no one comes out to suppress these people and let them integrate quickly, they will naturally not be able to throw these people into battle for a while.

It is precisely because of Pan Zhang's illness that there is no direct leadership in the cavalry department, and these newly surrendered cavalry will not be able to be incorporated for a while, and in this case, only Zhu Ling and Dian Wei are left. Only Zhu Ling wanted to restrain the armies and guard the city gate for him, so he was naturally too busy, but the only Dian Wei who could be used was still recuperating on the couch, and before the injury recovered, Chen Nuo of course couldn't bear to let Dian Wei come forward. As a result, the matter of recruiting new recruits can only be put on hold for the time being. This matter is not in a hurry, the key is that the cavalry department does not have Pan Zhang, and Chen Nuo is weak, which is impossible if this has no impact on the morale of the cavalry.

Therefore, what Chen Nuo hopes most now is that Pan Zhang can get better as soon as possible and share the cavalry affairs for him.

When Pan Zhang saw Chen Nuo coming to see him, he could only reluctantly get up from the couch, and without chatting with Chen Nuo, the poor nosebleed followed. It really didn't hit, Chen Nuo immediately held him down and asked him to lie down with his head back. At this time, Chen Nuo didn't want to bother him anymore, and wanted to walk away, but Pan Zhang was in tears, saying that his strange disease might not be cured, and he would be sad in the near future, so naturally he would inevitably tell him something about the past. I only hate this time, but I am afraid that I will no longer be able to follow Chen Nuo to help him make contributions. Pan Zhang only said this, and his mouth was full of pouts, especially his dying words, and Chen Nuo couldn't cry or laugh.

At this time, Chen Nuo could only comfort him a few words and let him recuperate. Of course, it was not easy for him and him to ask the woman in red to come forward at this time, let alone show that he had been hit by the 'Gu vowel attack' or something, but he was afraid that it would be too shocking, and it would be even more demoralizing if it was spread out.

After pacifying Pan Zhang, Chen Nuo couldn't continue to bother him, so he came back from him. Along the way, thinking of the situation faced by the whole city of Yanshi, I am afraid that it has never been difficult, so that he is not sad, and it is extremely heavy to come back all the way.

Of course, because of the poisoning of drinking water, he Chen Nuo also secretly sent someone to investigate, and only then did he know that before this, there was also a matter of a small official who bumped into a stranger wandering by the well water of someone else's house. It's just that this matter was too inconspicuous and failed to attract the attention of the lower-level Peng subordinates, so naturally it was not reported to Chen Nuo, so that after the incident, I realized that I was confused and fell into someone's big deal. However, since the water source inside and outside the city has been poisoned, and a few days have passed, there is no reason for people inside and outside the city not to drink this water, so naturally there is no need to inform everyone about this matter again, so that they are not allowed to drink the water in the city. And taking one sip is 'Gu', and drinking two sips is also 'Gu', and there is no essential difference.

The woman in red said that although this 'Gu Vowel Sound Attack' is powerful, as long as she kills the potential 'Gu Mother', then everything will be fine. In other words, as long as this Gu mother is killed, then the 'Gu Child' in their body will naturally be eliminated, and it will not be poisonous, and naturally there is no need to be afraid of it.

It's just that the woman in red still hasn't heard any news, and he Chen Nuo can't put his mind at ease. Perhaps, he sometimes asks himself, is it right for him to put all his hopes on the woman in red? There were doubts, and he had tried other methods, recruiting folk doctors with high salaries to come for treatment, and when they couldn't solve the problem, then he couldn't help but put his hope on the woman in red again, and he could only believe in her.

"Brother Chen...... General, you're back! ”

When Chen Nuo stepped into the hall, he was greeted by Su Li's little sister.

Su Li is now a personal guard by Chen Nuo's side, but because he has to take care of Dian Wei, he rarely has the opportunity to appear by Chen Nuo's side for a while. Originally, she was going to call him 'Brother Chen', and this title was very affectionate, and Chen Nuo liked it very much. Only she, since the first day she served as Chen Nuo's personal guard and entered the personal guard department, then even if she officially entered the army, she couldn't scream with her even if she was in the army. In the military, a general is a sign of respect for others, and it is also the least respect.

Chen Nuo looked up and saw this little girl, because he was worried all the way, but he didn't hear the fault of her words for a while, just rubbed his palms, and said with a smile: "You little girl, why do you have time to run to General Ben, didn't I ask you to take good care of Dianjun?" Are you lazy? ”

Su Li stepped forward, hugged Chen Nuo's arm, and helped him into the hall, teasing, "What little girl?" Didn't you say that in the army, but you are commensurate with your position, you can't have a long brother and a short brother? Why, I just changed my words, but you are guilty of this again, General? ”

"Look at you little girl, you are really sharp-toothed, General Ben can't say it, this time it should be a slip of the tongue. Huh......"

I didn't pay attention just now, but Chen Nuo found that the little girl Su Li had changed her outfit, unlike her usually. Her usual daughter was gone, dressed as a soldier. But seeing her wearing this armor, she is heroic and sassy, and she has a woman's style. After he looked at it twice, he still couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The fat powder is still too heavy, where is there such a fair skin and a broken face like you in this military camp?" Your delicate appearance now looks like what he calls a so-called prostitute. Ahem, if you follow General Ben in the future and don't figure it out, I'm afraid that they will mistakenly think that General Ben has a habit of breaking sleeves. ”

"What......"

After these few words, Su Li's whole face turned red, and he couldn't stand Chen Nuo's banter, and the little hand holding his arm couldn't help but twist it on the sleeve of his robe. It's a pity that the weather has been getting hotter recently, and the night is not as cold as before, so the inside and outside add up to just two thin clothes. Chen Nuo gritted his teeth exaggeratedly, reflexively grabbed Su Li's little hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, you Su Li's personal guard, General Ben hasn't started to call you yet, you dare to start using criminal law against General Ben." Thinking that I want to put you by my side, wouldn't I put a time on the head of this general. Bomb, General Ben is tortured like this by you three times a day, and sooner or later he will be tortured to death by you. All right. General Ben can't call you here for the time being, and he can't help you, so you should go back to Dianjun first and take good care of Dianjun for me. As long as Dianjun recovers from his injuries as soon as possible and can get up from the couch, General Ben will be grateful to you, and you will be willing to torture General Ben at that time. ”

Chen Nuo said, as soon as his hand was loosened, he took away the little hand that was held in the palm of his hand, stretched out his hands and grabbed her pair of weak shoulders, and pulled it, and was about to reflexively send her out. Only that Su Li was already amused by Chen Nuo's words, his little face was red, and he was trembling with laughter, and suddenly saw Chen Nuo about to drive her away, so he came to his senses and hurriedly said: "What! Brother Chen, I'm not a monster, and I won't eat you, what are you afraid of, am I as hateful as you say? Besides, I came here this time, naturally Wei Ge asked me to come......"

Chen Nuo paused his hand and asked her, "What, does Dianjun have anything for you to tell me?" ”

Su Li turned around, nodded to him very solemnly, and said, "Of course!" Wei Ge said that under the pressure of this great enemy, the general is worried about the military affairs inside and outside the city, and he, as the chief of the guard, cannot share a share of the general at this critical moment, and he is very ashamed. He knew that at this time, the general you must also worry about those big and small things, and you will not have time when you are busy, so you will inevitably forget the time to sleep. He said that before that, there was still a General Zhao to remind you, and you also listened to General Zhao, and since General Zhao left, he was sick on the bed, and no one came to remind the general of these things. He was afraid that the general would have a lot of things to do, and the general would be endless when he was busy, and he would not know how to rest, and he would be tired of his body. Of course, he didn't want to see the general like this, so Wei Ge called me to perform General Zhao's task, urging the general to go to bed early and remember to rest. ”

"There is no one who knows me than Dian Wei!"

I don't know why, these words were relayed from Su Li's mouth, and Chen Nuo only felt very moved. If you want to come to Dian Wei when you are sick on the couch, you can be careful like this, what more can you ask for this love? Chen Nuo hadn't been so moved for a long time, and he was almost choked with tears at this time. He hurriedly reached out again to help Su Li's thin shoulders, and urged again and again: "Oh, is this the thing? Okay, I see, now you can go back and take care of Dianjun. ”

"......"

Su Li really didn't have as much strength as him, and his shoulders were in his hands, so he couldn't help but walk out of the hall. Hearing Chen Nuo say this, she said 'can' twice and said, "But, I'm here to urge the general to rest, you can't just push me away, general." Brother Chen, ah, don't push it......"

"Is it Brother Chen or Brother Love? Why is there such a twist between a general and a personal guard, this has to be spread...... Hehehe......"

The voice suddenly floated overhead, and it was so close that the speaker was already outside the hall.

Seeing this person, Chen Nuo hurriedly let go of his hand, and at the same time felt happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "You are finally here, I have waited for you so hard!" ”
