Chapter Eighty-Six: Negotiation and Danger (2)
Gu Yanzhao said: "But everything is reasonable. but whatever is good for the people; But if I can do it."
The owner of the village smiled contemptuously: "What if I don't agree to negotiate peace."
Gu Yan Zhaojun frowned slightly: "Red Rain Village has been hidden in the deep mountains where fierce beasts enter and exit the impermanence forest for decades. However, the terrain of Zegong Mountain is steep. Low-lying and uneven. And there is often a black fog. And there is a lot of lewd rain and rain. The rain is coming. Vapor and humidity. Invasion of musculoskeletal The spring water is cave magma. Extremely cold. Drink the stomach. The water and soil are harsh. And the people of this land are plagued by plagues. Although the Miao people are industrious all year round. However, the harvest year is only free of frost; In the event of a famine. are not self-sufficient. Therefore, the people in the village have been living a miserable life. The villagers live in a simple house. Isolated. Isolated from the distractions of the outside world, but also isolated from the prosperity of the outside world. If the owner of the village keeps letting it go like this. I am afraid that the people in this village will never have a day of prosperity and stability."
The face of the owner of the village did not change. The lady of the owner of the village behind him had a different color. The owner of the village waved his hand and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the lady behind him: "If we agree to make peace. The general can ensure that the people in the village live and work in peace and contentment. Do you live in abundance?"
Gu Yanzhao looked at the wife of the owner of the village. The owner of the village also looked at the lady of the owner. Gu Yanzhao smiled lightly: "This is natural. If you agree to make peace. I will make sure that you will enjoy your old age in peace. Children grow up happily. And you here will also have a rich family. Settle down."
The lady of the owner of the village seems to be moving. But the owner of the village took a sip. What did he say to the owner's wife. The lady of the owner of the village put on a cruel look again. said: "The general is also Han. How can you be willing to be a lackey of the Qing army?"
Gu Yanzhao's face was slightly surprised. Said: "The saints of today are wise. Govern the country. The people have no peace to live and work. The territory of the Qing Dynasty was very extensive. Although there are many ethnic branches. But they have always gotten along. Why should the girl not be obsessed with the distinction between the Manchus and the Hans?"
The lady of the village owner looked at Gu Yanzhao with an indifferent face. Bai Ling suddenly walked up to the owner of the village and said something. The lady of the owner of the village seems to be moving. Gu Yanzhao suddenly felt as if someone had pierced his temples back and forth with a needle. It's extremely uncomfortable. He bit his lip tightly, trying to endure it, but the pain became stronger and stronger. It hurt all over my head. I just feel a splitting headache. He bit his lip. Stroking his head uneasily. But it's a cold sweat. Zhu Ling first discovered Gu Yanzhao's abnormality. Said: "General. What's wrong with you."
Xu Fang was also surprised. Xiang Lei's face suddenly turned pale. Gu Yanzhao shook his head. I wanted to say something but I couldn't speak. Xu Fang stood up suddenly. He drew his sword from its scabbard and pointed it at the lord of the village. He said angrily, "What did you put in the wine?"
When the Miao people behind the owner of the village saw him pointing his sword at the owner of the village, they rushed forward and surrounded them.
Zhu Ling stroked Gu Yanzhao and said to Xu Fang: "It's not a matter of wine. You and I drank it and it was fine."
Xiang Lei slowly stood up. "I know."
Xu Fang said: "What do you know?"
Xiang Lei walked towards Bailing step by step. Walk up to her. Stared at her and said, "You gave him a Gu."
Bai Jie bit his lip. Voice: "Hmm."
Zhu Ling and Xu Fang were both shocked. Zhu Ling said: "What is Gu."
Xu Fangdao: "It's a poison."
Xiang Lei's face changed suddenly. Angry: "You said you wouldn't be Gu."
"I ...... I can't help it. Brother. Don't blame me...... I'm here for our stockade,......" Bai Ling muttered.
As soon as this remark came out. Zhu Ling and Xu Fang's faces were even more ugly. Although Gu Yanzhao had a splitting headache. But he heard Bailing's words very clearly. I felt angry and painful in my heart. I don't know anyone. I'm afraid that not only will my life be hard to protect, but also two brothers who came with him.
Xu Fang's face was pale. Jian Feng turned to Xiang Lei's neck and asked, "You are a Miao person."
Xiang Lei didn't look at him. He stared at Bai Ling with an ugly face: "What about the antidote."
Bailing's face was difficult: "This is a butterfly Gu ......"
Xiang Lei looked at her in disbelief. Zhu Ling said, "What kind of Gu is a butterfly Gu?"
Xiang Lei bit his lip and was silent. After a long time, he finally yelled at Bai Ling, "What did I tell you before. You can't poison him. Although he was a general of the Qing army, he was different from those who came before. He's here to help our stockade......"
Bai Ling interrupted him. Brother. Have you forgotten how those Qing soldiers bullied us in the past? They said they were here to help us. But it's not harmful, our family is ruined. Why should you believe him?"
"Why should I believe him?" Xiang Lei smiled mockingly. I will take possession of the city with him. With him, the city of Shumin, which had been in decline for decades, was restored to prosperity. With him, tens of thousands of Miao people have homes to live in. There is land to cultivate."
Bailing is waiting to say something. The wife of the owner of the village opened her mouth and said some Miao dialect. Xiang Lei also talked to her in Hmong. Xu Fang stepped forward and grabbed Xiang Lei's neck. Bai Ling's face changed drastically. "Let go of my brother."
Xu Fang's hand was tightly pinched on Xiang Lei's neck. glared at the Miao people who were gathered around. He said, "We could have taken you directly up the mountain. But the general doesn't want you to make a senseless sacrifice. Kindly come up to negotiate with you. but you poisoned him. If you don't hand over the antidote, then collect his body."
Xiang Lei did not resist. looked at Gu Yanzhao with a flat face. Word by word: "General. I'm sorry for you......"
"There is no antidote to the Butterfly Gu at all." Bailing shouted.
Gu Yanzhao looked at Xiang Lei with a pale face. Zhu Ling said angrily: "Nonsense. If it's poison, how can there be no antidote?"
Xiang Lei smiled palely: "Butterfly Gu really has no antidote. It is raised with seventy-seven and forty-nine kinds of poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs. Gu poison into the brain. No amount of panacea can solve it."
Xu Fang was hideous." Since there is no cure. Then let's die together." The blade against Xiang Lei's neck turned. I saw that blood began to ooze from Xiang Lei's neck.
"Xu Fang." Gu Yanzhao called with difficulty.
"General."
"Let him go." Gu Yanzhao gritted his teeth and said.
"General." Xu Fang was shocked.
Xu Fang didn't have time to react. Only one object flashed in front of me. Subconsciously use a sword to block. Xiang Lei's body was snatched by one person. Everything happened too fast. A flash of electric light. Xu Fang only saw a snake on the ground that he had cut off with his sword. Look at it later. Xiang Lei is already standing by Bailing's side.
There are no more hostages on hand. The tide turned. I saw a gesture from the owner of the village, and I saw that a group of Miao people swarming up. Gu Yanzhao was extremely reluctant to have such a fighting scene. But I can't say anything about the headache. Xiang Lei stepped forward to support Gu Yanzhao. Xu Fang swung his sword and stabbed at him. Xiang Lei hurriedly dodged sideways. Xu Fang swung his sword again and again and stabbed towards Lei. Zhu Ling was pestered by several Miao people. Gu Yanzhao staggered to his feet, but saw several Miao people stabbing at him with a scimitar. Hurriedly took a few steps back. I want to do light work but I can't exert my strength at all. I saw a scimitar stabbing straight at me. Gu Yanzhao no longer had the strength to hide. I had to look at the scimitar that stabbed me. I only heard Xu Fang Zhu Ling shouting, "General."
The two of them flew towards Gu Yanzhao. But because of the disparity in distance, it was too late to stop it. Gu Yanzhao slowly closed his eyes, but there was no unexpected pain on his body. Slowly raised his head, but saw Xiang Lei's face enlarged in front of him. He smiled weakly at himself. But his body slowly slid down. Bailing's voice rang out on the terrace: "Brother."
Gu Yanzhao hurriedly reached out to support his body. But he saw that the clothes on his chest were stained red with blood. I can't help but feel a tightness in my heart. Called: "Xiang Lei."
Xiang Lei said weakly: "General. I'm sorry for you......"
Gu Yanzhao tore off the corners of his clothes and tightly wrapped them around the blood loss on his chest. While saying, "Stop talking......"
Bai Ling hurriedly pounced in front of Xiang Lei. Push Gu Yanzhao away. Hug Xiang Lei. Crying: "Brother......"
Gu Yanzhao's whole body was almost exhausted by pain. At this time, when he was pushed by Bailing, his center of gravity was unstable. Fell to the ground. But I heard a familiar voice: "Gu Yanzhao."
Gu Yanzhao raised his head before he could see the man's face. And he was embraced by the man. Gu Yanzhao couldn't help but smile helplessly. Warm fragrant nephrite. It's not Fucha Zhishan, who is it.
Fucha Zhishan choked up and said, "It's okay...... It's all in time......"
Gu Yanzhao reached out and patted her back as if soothingly. Whispered: "I'm fine......"
Fucha Zhishan suddenly remembered his pale face and hurriedly let him go. Look at him closely. Nervously asked, "What's wrong with you. There were no injuries."
Gu Yanzhao shook his head. After a glance around, I saw that Zhang Guangsi led the brothers of the Huofeng Battalion to control the scene.
His gaze immediately fell on Xiang Lei and Bai Ling. But I saw that Bai Ling was whining and crying. Xiang Lei's pale face comforted her. Immediately leaned over and squatted in front of Xiang Lei and asked, "How are you?" And to Bailing." Lark. There's a doctor here."
Bai Ling immediately came back to his senses. Wiping tears from her face. Hurriedly took out a small bottle from the purse around his waist, poured out a pill, and said, "I have the Seven Herbs Pill here. Brother, take it quickly." Again." General Gu. My brother's sword is for you. You have to take good care of him. I'm going to ask Grandma for Grandma."
Gu Yanzhao hurriedly took Xiang Lei. Said: "Rest assured, girl. I'll take good care of him."
See the small figure of Bailing getting farther and farther away. Xiang Lei said in a low voice: "I only lose two people in my life. One is the general you. One is lark."
"You've only just started in this life. There are many days to come. Who knows if you'll fail a girl in the future." Gu Yanzhao said disapprerovantly. Xiang Lei couldn't help but smile, but the wound was touched. Said weakly: "General. If my life is this. I have two things that I hope the general will promise me."
Xu Fang smiled coldly: "The Gu poison in the general's body is all due to you. You still have the face to ask the general to promise you two things."
Zhu Ling also said: "Xiang Lei. The general treats you with sincerity. But you have treated them like this. It's really chilling for the general."
Gu Yanzhao said: "You say."
Xiang Lei looked around at the Miao people who were controlled by the Fire Peak Battalion. "These people are just ordinary people. They rebelled just to make a good living. The general has taken Gongshan. I hope the general will spare their lives. Give them a place to live."
Gu Yanzhao nodded. Xiang Lei said again. The butterfly Gu in the general's house. There is really no cure. I also hope that the general will spare Bailing for the sake of me blocking this sword for you. I only have this one sister."
Fucha Zhishan was originally standing aside. At this time, I heard Xiang Lei say this. Shocked. grabbed Xiang Lei's clothes. Angry: "What do you say. What a butterfly Gu. What the hell is going on?"
Gu Yanzhao frowned and said, "Zhishan. Let it go."
Fucha Zhishan was stunned. Let go of Xiang Lei. looked at Gu Yanzhao in a daze. The first time he called her name. It's like this.
But he heard Xiang Lei say again: "Ayimo."
Gu Yanzhao looked at him suspiciously. But I saw the wife of the owner of the village, who had been standing behind the owner of the village, walk in front of Xiang Lei. Xiang Lei said something to her in Miao language. The lady of the owner of the village hesitated at first. Finally, he nodded slowly. Xiang Lei smiled weakly. Gu Yanzhao saw that his face was bloodless. His eyes are also a little wandering. I can't help but feel worried. Called: "Xiang Lei......"
But I saw that Bai Ling pulled a man and ran over. The man was about sixty years old. Gray hair. Wearing the skirts of the local Hmong people. The complexion looks excellent. Bai Ling said as he walked, "Grandma is here."
Bai Ling led her to Xiang Lei. Grandma squatted down to carefully examine Xiang Lei's injuries. After a while, he shook his head helplessly. Grunting something. Gu Yanzhao saw her shake her head, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. "What the hell is going on with him?"
Bai Ling said: "My brother just lost too much blood. The sword didn't hit the point. But it needs blood to nourish blood to be cured."
"Nourish blood with blood." Gu Yanzhao was surprised.
"This is a kind of Gu art in our local area." There was a pause. Again." Generals don't have to worry . Grandma's mother-in-law will definitely be able to cure her brother. But the general's Gu. There is really no way to solve it. When I was in the Gu, I thought that one blow would be fatal. Nothing is left unturned."
Gu Yanzhao said indifferently. I know."
"You don't fool people here. You will not be able to solve the Gu you have laid yourself. I'm telling you. If you can't cure this poison. Don't try to get out of here alive today." Fucha Zhishan snatched Xu Fang's sword and pointed at Bai Ling. Awe-inspiring Dao. She watched for a long time. I listened to Xu Fang's explanation again. Fang understood the ins and outs of the matter. I've been furious for a long time. At this point, it finally came out.
Bai Ling raised an eyebrow and looked at her. Laughed and said, "I just can't figure it out. How can you. Kill me."
Zhishan pointed her sword forward an inch. Angry: "You ......"
"Zhishan......" Gu Yanzhao's hand touched the sword body and moved the sword away. looked at Zhishan and said. Let's go."
After saying that, he walked straight away. Fucha Zhishan glared at Bai Ling angrily. Hurriedly chased after him.
