Chapter 523: Plan Ahead
Liu Xiu was tired, his ears were endlessly roaring, as if he was under a waterfall, and as if he was imprisoned on the shore of the waves crashing, the violent sea foamed at the water, hitting the cliff again and again, and his face was full of water and roaring. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info There was a wildfire rushing through his body, raging, and everywhere he went, there was only burning pain, only tearing lungs, indescribable pain.
He didn't know how long it had been, he was exhausted, he felt like Prometheus locked in the Caucasus by Zeus, suffering great pain all the time, while his Hercules did not know when the day would come.
Perhaps, this is my retribution against heaven? Liu Xiu, who was in pain, only had one thought.
The waves are rushing outside their bodies, the wildfires are clash inside, and they are caught between the inside and the outside, but they refuse to blend. The wildfire is getting stronger and faster, about to ignite every inch of his skin, every piece of flesh, his blood is about to dry up, his muscles and bones are shrinking, curling, and wisps of green smoke are coming out, like the earth scorched by the scorching sun, cracking deep cracks, revealing deeper flesh and blood.
Just as he watched powerlessly as the vitality continued to extinguish in the wildfire, the roaring sea suddenly quieted down, teasing the wildfire and leading it to an exit. The wildfire rushed out, and he was led out, and a large soft white cloud wrapped him, enveloping him, spinning and melting.
Wildfire, like an angry giant, suddenly saw his beloved partner, quieted down a little, played with his partner, and when they played a game, they held hands and giggled. Keep turning in circles, hugging tighter and tighter, and then hand in hand, run to the distant river together, and fly into the cool river.
The river is so clean. They swam in the river, swimming upstream, round and round, and finally returned to the original point.
"I'm leaving." Wildfire said.
"I'll give you a ride." Partner said.
So, they held hands again. Return the way you came, back to the wildfire killing fields. The wildfire was stunned, and he realized how much damage his waywardness had done to his homeland.
"Don't be afraid, let's go and convince them together." Partner said. She took him by the hand and fearlessly threw herself at the wildfire. "Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, this is our home!" She waved her little hands. Pull away the wildfires that are tearing apart, reassure them, and calm them down. But she didn't have enough strength and soon ran out of breath.
"Come and help me." Partner said.
The wildfire answered and ran over. He is also persuading. But his heart also wants to be wild, he wants to tear and beat, he wants to roar, he wants to break it all.
"Be quiet, be quiet, and it will be fine in no time." The partner's crisp voice is like a puddle of clear water. Constantly burning out his imminent killing machine. Under the appeasement of his partner, he finally controlled his violence, and the two joined hands. Finally cleared a small clearing of land. They looked at each other and smiled, held hands, and continued the game.
"I'm leaving." The partner said reluctantly.
"When are you coming again?"
"You're good, I'll be back soon." The companion raised his little hand and slowly disappeared into the distance. The surroundings fell silent, and he looked around blankly. In the distance, unrelenting wildfires continue to rage. But he no longer had the same impulse.
He sat down, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose at his mouth, and his mouth at his heart.
He felt so sleepy, so tired, his whole body ached, he wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't, he could only let out a weak moan.
……
Sitting cross-legged on the edge of the couch, Mrs. Lu, who had just withdrawn her vitality back into the palace, had not yet opened her eyes, she heard a faint moan, her heart moved, she opened her eyes and looked carefully, only to see Liu Xiu's brows wrinkled together in pain, the wings of her nose were slightly distended, and although her eyes were not opened, her eyelids were beating.
Mrs. Lu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down and put her ear to Liu Xiu's mouth. This time she heard it much clearer, and she heard muffled moans. She hurriedly moved her ears to Liu Xiu's heart, listening to the steady heartbeat, her eyes widened in surprise, and she pulled Liu Xiu's wrist again, ready to diagnose his pulse, just started, Liu Xiu's fingers hooked slightly, scratching her palm, making her a little itchy.
Mrs. Lu's eyes widened, and she looked at Liu Xiu's fingers intently, Liu Xiu's fingers were really moving, although they were very subtle, but they were indeed moving. She forcibly suppressed her ecstasy, calmed down, and checked Liu Xiu's pulse again.
As a result, as she hoped, Liu Xiu's pulse showed signs of calming down.
Mrs. Lu could no longer suppress her joy, ran to the door, opened the curtain, and as soon as her hand touched the deadbolt of the door, a breeze blew through the crack of the door. Only then did she remember that she was now without a thread, and her face was flushed.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?" Wang Zhi, who was outside the door, heard the door knock and hurriedly prepared to open the door.
"Don't open the door." Mrs. Lu instinctively hid behind the curtain. Wang Zhi stopped and waited quietly outside the door. He didn't speak, but from his slightly rapid breathing, he was anxious to know the outcome.
Mrs. Lu froze: "You go and tell the king that the first treatment has been completed, the effect is obvious, and the general has already reacted." Let me clean up, and they can come to visit, but the general hasn't woken up yet, so there shouldn't be too many people. ”
Before Mrs. Lu finished speaking, Wang Zhi was already overjoyed, and he said in a trembling voice: "Well, I'll go and report to the king, they are all waiting in the front hall." ”
"Go ahead." Mrs. Lu commanded, put down the curtain, hurriedly walked to the bed, quickly put on her clothes, looked around, picked up the bronze mirror used to cast the spell and took a look, and saw that her face was still a little red, and her sideburns were a little messy, so she hurriedly tidied it up again. She sniffed, and there was only the fragrance of candles in the room, not the smell she feared, so she was relieved. He coughed and returned to his usual dignity.
"Tuk Tuk!" There was a quick knock on the door.
Mrs. Lu walked over and gently pulled the deadbolt of the door, and as soon as the door opened, Liu Yuanqi stretched out a foot and couldn't wait to walk towards the hospital bed. Wang Zhi also followed, and Yan Zhong stood outside the door, looking at Mrs. Lu nervously.
"Mr. Yan, please come in." Mrs. Lu asked sideways.
Yan Zhong was in a hurry. But he still saluted Mrs. Lu and smiled, "Thank you Mrs. Hard." ”
Mrs. Lu smiled slightly and stretched out her hand to invite. Yan Zhong slowly walked into the house, although there was a thick carpet on the ground, he would not make a sound even if he walked quickly. But he instinctively lightened his pace, came to Liu Xiu's bed, looked carefully for a moment, and then exchanged a look with Liu Yuanqi, who was also happy, and nodded in unison. Praise: "It's wonderful! ”
Wang Zhi held his breath and gave Liu Xiu a pulse, and after a while, he carefully put Liu Xiu's hand and exhaled softly: "The general is really destined for heaven, and the auspicious people have their own heavenly appearance." ”
Liu Yuanqi and Yan Zhong listened and nodded again and again. Yan Zhong arched his hand: "The king is here to accompany the general for a while." I'm going to tell them and reassure them. ”
"Mr. Law." Liu Yuanqi said with satisfaction. Yan Zhong saluted Mrs. Lu again, and then walked out of the door quickly and went straight to the front hall.
On the front hall, Xun Yu and Xun Yu. Fu Xie, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the others were waiting, none of them were in the mood to speak, when they heard the footsteps in the inner hall, they all turned their eyes around, and when they saw Yan Zhong's figure. They all looked at Yan Zhong's face in unison.
Yan Zhong had a calm smile on his face, although he was not overjoyed, but that calmness was enough to explain everything.
"Sir. How is it? Everyone asked in unison. Although Zhang Fei was anxious, he still knew how to be respectful, so he just stretched his neck and asked, but Guan Yu didn't care, and a lunge stepped up, and his nine-foot-tall body touched it lightly. squeezed Fu Xie aside. Although he didn't use his strength, Fu Xie was still hit by him and his footing was unstable. Almost fell. Fu Xie was rarely not angry, and his eyes were fixed on Yan Zhong's mouth.
"The situation is very good, the general has already reacted, and his breath has calmed down a lot." Yan Zhong waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, he explained the situation again, and finally concluded: "The general's difficulty is about to pass, and when he encounters difficulties, his realm will be greatly improved, which is a good thing." However, we can't be too optimistic, judging from the current situation, even if the general wakes up, he will need a period of recuperation. Ladies and gentlemen, the King and I are in charge of this place for the time being. There are many events in the world, and you must not slack off. ”
When he said the last sentence, Yan Zhong's face became serious, and he was not angry.
When Xun Yu and the others heard this, they put away their smiles, straightened up, and responded in unison: "Oh! ”
Yan Zhong paused for a moment, his gaze swept over their faces one by one, and then nodded with satisfaction. He knew that after this time, his position in the hearts of Liu Xiu's father and son had been firm, and his prestige among these colleagues did not need to be said more. Under one person, above ten thousand, the stage for him to sway has been opened, just waiting for him to perform to his heart's content, turning his lifelong ambition into reality.
"Wen Ruo, Guanzhong is the foundation of the general, and the general has trusted you by letting you be here. Don't live up to the general's trust in you, don't be too soft on those heroes who are loyal to the yin and the yin, start collecting relevant evidence from now on, and just wait for the general to wake up, and then petition the general for ruling. ”
Xun Yu nodded and took the order.
"Nanrong, the general can't go to Yizhou for the time being, Yizhou can't be lost, you immediately rush to Chengdu and control the Yizhou army as the general's mansion Sima. If Li Ru of Yizhou Thorn History is safe, then needless to say, if there is any change, take it immediately, and you will take the Yizhou Thorn History first. In Yizhou, there must be no loss. ”
"Whoa." Fu Xie bowed down to receive the order.
"Yide, you rush to Wuguan immediately, hold the Wuguan Road, and without the warrant of the king or the general, you must not let a single soldier enter the pass."
"Whoa." Zhang Fei bowed down to receive the order, and was just about to turn around and go out, but Yan Zhong stopped him: "Wait." ”
Zhang Fei turned around: "What else does Mr. have to order?" ”
"Thou shalt not drink alcohol, and thou shalt not whip a soldier. If you violate one article, you will immediately go back to Chang'an and ask the general for your guilt. ”
"Huh?" Zhang Fei was taken aback, but when he saw Yan Zhong's face, he shrunk his neck and reluctantly responded.
Guan Yu stroked his beard, squinted his eyes, and stood quietly waiting on the side.
"Yun Chang, there is one most important task entrusted to you." Yan Zhong turned around Guan Yu and said in a solemn tone. Guan Yu's spirits perked up, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "Please sir, Guan Yu will never give up." ”
"You immediately take five hundred guards and horses back to Luoyang to protect the Chu Palace. Once someone intends to be unfavorable to the Chu Palace, they will be killed immediately. If there is any danger for the princess and several ladies and princesses, you will immediately take them out of Luoyang and rush to Guanzhong. Yan Zhong paused, looked at Guan Yu's slightly frowning silkworm eyebrows, and said slowly: "Such a critical task, apart from you Guan Yunchang, I can't think of a second person who can do it." Step up your game! ”
Guan Yu smiled and responded loudly.
