Chapter 823 Poisoning and Injury
As a shadow killer, Li Shi felt a strong wind behind him, and immediately turned around with a sword, which directly collided with the sword that Xu Chu flew into.
Perhaps Xu Chu's strength was too great, and he couldn't dodge this rush at all, so he forced the two swords to collide together, and under the next few fights, the long sword in his hand was knocked out.
When it comes to head-to-head killing, Li Shi may not be Xu Chu's opponent, but when it comes to swordsmanship, there are indeed few people who can beat him. It seems that now, the long sword in Xu Chu's hand was knocked away, and he obviously had an advantage.
Xu Chu, who had no sword in his hand, did not retreat but advanced, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he stepped forward and hugged Li Shi completely, and then strengthened his arms to imprison this shadow killer.
Xu Chu, who didn't have a long sword, only remembered one thing in his heart now, that is, he must not let Li Shi do whatever he wanted, otherwise, Zhang Chao's life would be in danger.
I didn't expect Xu Chu to come with such a hand, but he caught Li Shi off guard, seeing that he was being held, he struggled several times in succession, but he couldn't get rid of the confinement of his hands like iron tongs, and in desperation, he threw the long sword in his right hand away, caught it with his left hand, and then returned to his arm is a stab, which hit Xu Chu's waist ribs behind him.
A sword pierced, blood flowed, and Xu Chu's face also showed an extremely happy look, but he didn't even say a word, but continued to exert force, without the slightest intention of letting go.
"Let me go!" Seeing that Xu Chu was in the middle of the sword and did not let go, Li Shi, who was in a hurry, stabbed out three swords one after another, and the swords and swords fell on Xu Chu's body behind him, causing his body to be covered with blood.
But no matter what Li Shi did, Xu Chu didn't let go at all, but held it with all his might, and at this moment there was only one belief in his mind, that is, for the safety of the emperor, he must not let go, can't, even if he dies, he can't let go.
Li Shi was still struggling, Zhang Chao's sword fell to the ground, so angry that the other three iron guards were also ruthless, they completely ignored the many enemies, the injuries on their bodies were too many, they were fighting completely with one breath, and even more often, they would rather be hit by a sword themselves, but also send out the sword that stabbed at the enemy.
Under the sworn defense of the three iron guards, Zhang Chao was not traumatized, and finally survived the arrival of reinforcements.
This is a nearby patrol and the first team to be encountered by Iron Four.
A patrol of fifty men surrounded the black-clad Assassins as soon as they appeared. Although they were not as good as each other in terms of combat strength, they relied on the advantage of being outnumbered, and they were on a par for a while.
Then, the sound of the iron horse landing was heard in the distance, and a general on a red horse was seen shouting loudly in the distance, "Don't panic, the emperor is here!" ”
The person who came was Lu Bu, who was originally on duty tonight, but he suddenly heard that he had mixed in with the assassins, and he also surrounded the emperor Zhang Chao, so he was naturally angry, so he didn't wait for the others, he first rode a red rabbit horse and rushed over with a Fang Tian painting halberd.
With the speed of the Red Rabbit Horse, Lu Bu left the other cavalry who wanted to rush far behind, and he himself was the first to arrive. As soon as the person arrived, the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was slashed out, and then one after another, the heads of the black-clothed assassins were slashed off, and blood spurted straight into the sky.
Lu Bu seemed to be a killing god, rushed into the camp, and brought up the blood. His martial prowess also shocked those assassins one by one like frightened birds, and the fighting spirit began to fade, and some even turned around and fled.
Lu Bu didn't go after the black-clothed assassins who had fled, because he heard Tie Ba shouting, "General Lu, save the emperor and Captain Xu, they are over there." ”
After saying this, Tie Ba also tilted his head and fell directly to the ground, because he was bleeding too much, and in addition to poisoning, his body had already been overdrawn, and he was able to survive until now, but it was just a kind of belief in support.
"Save the emperor!" When Lu Bu heard that Zhang Chao was injured, he was shocked and stopped, but at the same time, he also gave an order to the deputy beside him, that is, all the assassins should not be left behind, and all of them should be killed.
Soon Lu Bu found Zhang Chao who fell to the ground, and at this moment he and Xu Chu both fell to the ground, sleeping with their eyes closed.
"Quick, find a single frame, and send the prince and the chief of the guard back to the camp." When Lu Bu saw this, he couldn't stop shouting hoarsely. Zhang Chao is not just the emperor of the Celestial Empire, he is also an existence like a military soul, and because of Zhang Chao, everyone can think in one place and work hard in one place, or if this person has three strengths and two shortcomings, then I really don't know what kind of things will happen next.
Zhang Chao was lifted onto a single frame and sent back to the camp. Along the way, Lu Bu escorted step by step, which also attracted the attention of many soldiers, after knowing that the emperor was seriously injured, the expressions on everyone's faces were very depressed, and a heavy atmosphere also spread over the entire military camp.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Chao was placed on the couch, and Pang Tong, Feng Ji, Lu Bu, Wen Chou and other important generals and courtiers were all standing aside, watching the medical officer quietly take the pulse.
can follow Zhang Chao's side and serve the people with him, then none of them are simple. Even this medical officer has won the true inheritance of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and he is very good at medical skills. Now it is too far away from Jinyang City, whether it is to invite Hua Tuo or Zhang Zhongjing, it is obviously too late, everything can only be put on this medical officer.
The medical officer's surname is Wang, and his name is Ren. After he carefully surveyed the veins on Zhang Chao's body, his brows never let go, and his appearance attracted Lu Bu, Pang Tong and others on the side to worry about themselves.
After about half a pillar of incense, Wang Ren finally stopped taking the pulse, and the whole person stood up. And Lu Bu, Pang Tong and the others on the side stepped forward and asked, "Doctor Wang, how is the emperor's situation?" ”
Facing everyone's urgent questions, Wang Ren took a breath before he said slowly: "The emperor has received a total of two swords, one of which is placed on his chest, which is more serious, but fortunately, there is still a distance of four inches from the heart, otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable." Of course, these are not the most important, just now I saw that the wound was already rotting, and I thought that the sword that stabbed out should be poisonous, and the most important thing now is to detoxify, otherwise, once the wound begins to deteriorate, even my teacher is afraid that there is nothing to be done here. ”
"Poisoned?" When Lu Bu heard that the sword was poisonous, he grabbed Wang Ren's collar and said, "That's it, detoxify quickly, what nonsense are you talking about here?" ”
"General Lu, please let go, it's me." Wang Ren, who was a little panting, said with an ugly face.
What strength Lu Bu has, even if he grabs it casually, it is not something that a medical officer can endure.
"General Lu, let it go quickly, and wait for Doctor Wang to continue." Pang Tong hurriedly spoke, and at the same time took half a step forward and grabbed Lu Bu's exposed and powerful arm.
"Humph! After saving the emperor, you will naturally be fine, but if you can't, you and your nine clans will wait to die together. Pang Tong interceded, but Lu Bu let go, but his face was indeed very ugly, and he threatened.
There is no need for Lu Bu to say, Wang Ren also knows what kind of doom he will face once Zhang Chao has three strengths and two weaknesses. It's just that now is not the time to think about these things, and how to save the emperor is the right reason.
"That's right." After straightening his clothes, he took a breath, and after his emotions gradually calmed down, Wang Ren said: "Under normal circumstances, for the sake of safety, in order to prevent being injured by their own poison, assassins usually have an antidote on their bodies. Of course, I will discuss the detoxification method with the other medical officers immediately, and I will do my best anyway. ”
"Okay, okay." Hearing the two plans proposed by Wang Ren, Pang Tong even claimed to be on the side. Then he faced Wen Chou and said, "Please also ask the general to find all the assassins' clothes and show them to Doctor Wang if there is an antidote in them, which is good." ”
"No." Wen Chou heard this, and immediately agreed, and then went out of the account to do things.
Pang Tong looked at Lu Bu who was left behind, and said hurriedly: "General Lu, I still have to work hard for you, stay by the emperor's side, even if the enemy can have the first assassination, no one dares to guarantee that there will be no second time, for the sake of safety, you are also required to sit here." ”
"Naturally, there is no problem." Lu Bu agreed in one bite. With him here, even if the Assassins come, they still want to get some benefits. Not to mention, since this incident, the other guards have long been focused on the outside of the door, and now outside the tent is three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, even if even a mosquito does not want to fly in.
The news that the Emperor of the Celestial Empire had been seriously injured by an assassin did not go away. After all, when it happened, too many soldiers saw it, and it was very difficult to completely block this matter. After saying that, Fera Dimir has been waiting for the news of this Li Shi's move, and he has already sent someone to investigate.
For this reason, soon after the incident, the news came back, and even reached the ears of Anatoly, the Grand Prince of Rus'.
As soon as he heard that Zhang Chao had happened, Anatoly was of course overjoyed. Now that the weather is getting warmer, a new round of offensive by the Celestial Empire army is imminent. Although Kazakhstan and Ukraine have agreed to send troops to help, the theory of victory or defeat in the war is still before two sides can be heard.
And now, the emperor of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Chao, was seriously injured, which is undoubtedly a great news, and Anatoly invited the national teacher Feladimir into the palace to speak.
The national teacher Phila Dimir entered the palace, and in the main hall, after Anatoly saw the national teacher, he walked down directly from the main hall with joy, and asked urgently: "Dare to ask the national teacher, whether the emperor of the Celestial Empire was really seriously injured, but this matter was done by the national teacher?" ”
