Chapter Forty-Eight: The Cruel Truth

Achu noticed that most of the attention of the five people was now on Bing Ran, and although the internal injuries made her so painful that she only wanted to curl up, she had to do her best to make this last sneak attack.

One of the Tartars suddenly turned his face, and Achu, who had just mustered up his courage, was immediately frightened and almost threw the sword in his hand directly over.

Then the tartar fell to the ground and began to twitch wildly, making strange noises in his mouth.

So the movements of the rest of the Tartars stopped, and the determination to die that we had just accumulated was also dissipated by this shock.

Sheep epilepsy? As I got used to the pain in my right shoulder, I began to think about how likely it was to scare them away by lying to them that it was a virulent contagion.

Presumably, it was more important to save my companion than to kill me and save my companion, and the Tartars all gathered around to pay attention to the situation of the man who fell to the ground. I moved quietly, trying to keep myself out of danger as much as possible.

They spoke to each other in the Beijung language. Because the soldiers of the two countries have been fighting for many years, one of the abilities they have accumulated is that many of them have learned two languages - their own and the enemy's, we don't have this condition, but because Dingyan City is on the border, we have also learned some Beirong dialect scattered in the past few days, so we can vaguely understand that they are saying that this situation is not the first time that this situation has appeared in them.

Of course, it is impossible for us to be the Virgin at this time to take the initiative to save people. At this moment, the fallen tartar stood up again, and began to giggle, a laughter that was especially eerie in the empty valley of no return.

The terrifying laughter woke up Gu Xinyi, who was originally unconscious, and Sun Zhongjing, who was hanging on horseback, four Chinese people, four normal Tartars, one sick Tartar and one horse constituted an unprecedented spectacle. I saw that Sun Zhongjing began to struggle desperately because of the ropes on his body, thinking that it was better to take risks, so he said to those Tartars: "You, put the people you tied down." ”

The Tartars looked back at me, their faces full of vigilance, and at this time I felt a sense of powerlessness every time I said a word: "This is a contagion...... He was a doctor who had treated such patients...... Can you help that person see ......."

Seeing that the group of Tartars was still hesitating, I wanted to scold them with my head and face, but neither my body nor the situation allowed me to do this: "Look...... This is what we look like now...... What else can I do to you? ”

Probably because the laughter of his companions was too terrifying and disturbed Tartar's brain, they finally untied Sun Zhongjing and threw him to the ground: "You, treat him!" ”

"His grandmother's, this group of men and women are indistinguishable from each other's neuropathy, it hurts Lao Tzu to death......" Sun Zhongjing, whose blood had already coagulated on his forehead, couldn't help but scold as soon as he was put down, and saw me and Achu desperately trying to make their eyes go back. I made a mouth gesture at him: "Treat him first", and he could only take out the gauze from his arms and press it on the wound on his head, and move to the vicinity of the tartar who was still laughing wildly, and the sick tartar had already begun to babble nonsense.

Sun Zhongjing looked at it for a long time and felt that he couldn't start, and finally could only reluctantly say to those Tartars: "Hey! Everybody...... Strong man, can you give your brother a pause? ”

Tartar's eyes immediately showed a fierce light, and Sun Zhongjing hugged his head and took a few steps back: "Let him not run around, and then just take some cloth or something to block his mouth." ”

The remaining four Tartars finally complied with Sun Zhongjing's words. While they were all around to see Sun Zhongjing take the pulse, Achu quietly picked up the sword, and Xin Yi and I also tried to lean towards her, found a direction that could pull Sun Zhongjing with the highest success rate and sat down. Xin Yi and I each gave each other a few more acupuncture points, and after the bleeding and pain had subsided, we began to endure the pain and check the injuries of the three people.

"It feels like all my organs have been kicked and shattered by that bastard, and it's so uncomfortable...... cough cough cough "Everyone gathered together, and Achu finally relaxed slightly, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Don't be afraid, your internal organs are not broken." My right hand hurt and I couldn't lift it, so I could only use my left hand to take a pulse for Achu: "His kick is very heavy, and you have some internal injuries, so it will hurt a lot." But I can't give you an injection right now, can you heal yourself? ”

"Luck?"

"Most martial arts practitioners will have internal force and true qi, and mobilizing them to circulate in the body can accelerate the healing of injuries, can you?"

Achu tried it, but she felt that she couldn't lift it, let alone feel any internal force, and the place that was mentioned seemed to hurt even more, she was so anxious that she was about to cry: "It's useless, I can't use my strength at all, and I can't feel the internal strength, what if I feel that it hurts?" ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." I'm a little annoyed, it seems that martial arts novels are all deceitful: "You breathe out first, and when we escape, I'll give you an injection." ”

"Bingran, the arrow on your right shoulder must be taken out, otherwise your right hand will be useless." Xin Yi worried: "I've seen it, this kind of arrow is used on the battlefield, and the arrow has barbs. ”

"Is there poison on the arrows?"

"Nope. It is a few inches away from the vital point, and there is no danger. ”

"But your hand is not hurting a bone?"

"It's certain that the muscles and bones will be broken, and the horse's hooves are too strong to step on." Xin Yi opened a pack of hemostatic powder, sprinkled half a pack on his bloody left arm, and sprinkled half a bag on my right shoulder, which was still with a half-cut arrow.

"Now that each of us has lost one hand, we can only hope for Sun Zhongjing, who may be the least injured, but I am worried that he will be snatched back and killed by the Tartars."

Sun Zhongjing walked towards us at this time, and the moonlight gilded him behind him, which made him look a little ...... Holy.

"They said, lend us the horses, and then send us to Dingyan City across the valley."

If it weren't for the lottery, the three of us would have wanted to pounce on him and hug him and cry: Is the beauty trick really useful?

Sun Zhongjing looked at the earth-colored tartars not far away, with a complicated expression: "Each of them has been given a large dose of defrosting grass, and this medicinal property can be left in the blood. ”

"The guy who went crazy just now is that the medicinal properties of the defrost grass have accumulated in the body to a certain extent, and he has gone insane."

"I told the other Tartars that they were also drugged, and maybe they would have the same seizures as him soon, and only my master, who lives in Dingyan City, can cure them."

It was as if the scattered beads had finally found a thread that strung them together, and all the previous speculations and clues came to fruition at once.

For example, why are there only poisoned people in Dasheng Pass and Datong Pass who will participate in the battle against Beirong in the three passes in Zhenbei;

For example, why it is ordinary people who obviously begin to show symptoms, but most of the people who develop to be poisoned later are the combat troops and military families of the Gu family army;

For example, why can't you find the poison-inducing medicine in Dingyan City?

And that Beijung side is bent on conquering the territory of China, I don't know if he can still be called a human - a commander who can drug his soldiers in order to kill the enemy, even if there is such a saying that "mercy does not control the army", it is difficult for me to agree with this cruelty.

I watched as Sun Zhongjing, now lying on horseback, had turned into a drugged tartar, while his companion was walking towards us with his head down. I asked Sun Zhongjing, "So they were instigated by you?" ”

"Yes, because I told them that the frost grass may be in their food and water, and it is impossible to prevent it, and this one will become impotent even if they are not insane if they eat too much, and they will decisively turn back when they hear this." Sun Zhongjing said and shouted sympathetically at the Tartars: "Don't be too discouraged, although everything is caused by your blindness and stupidity and badness, but we are now even, and we can sell you some aphrodisiacs later." ”

One of the Tartars hung his head and said: "Actually, we also noticed it, Lao Tzu got it for a long time last night, ......"

"Alright, stop. Just cooperate temporarily, take what you need, and don't complain to us. I didn't want to hear any strange details, so I hurriedly turned to Sun Zhongjing and said, "Is the injury on your head serious?" Xin Yi's hands and I are both seriously injured, and I'm afraid only you can handle it. ”

"Our remnants are defeated." Sun Zhongjing laughed at himself: "Fortunately, I wasn't stupid by them." ”

The best person in this group of Tartars is called Aguyi, Sun Zhongjing gave Xin Yi's left arm a simple splint, and asked Aguyi to borrow half a jar of leftover wine.

"Bear with me, think about his silent state when you drugged your Chenyi." Sun Zhongjing took out a knife, poured out some wine and rinsed it.

"That, this wine is used to burn knives in the barracks, and it is easy for ordinary people to get drunk if they are not used to it." Agu Yi couldn't help but remind out loud.

"Don't worry, I never have to drink to strengthen my courage to heal my wounds, so I won't become a drunkard." Sun Zhongjing said, cutting the shirt on my right shoulder with scissors: "The arrow with the barb is to cut the flesh and skin, in short, you must endure it, I'm afraid that I will howl out of your throat, and I am scared to draw a big gap for you." ”

After Achu asked the Tartars to turn around, Sun Zhongjing began to pour wine on my wound to disinfect, the irritated wound hurt more violently, and blood gushed out of the wound.

"Ah————h

Perhaps my screaming was too miserable, and the Tartars who turned their backs shook unconsciously.

Achu desperately held down my body to prevent me from moving: "Bingran, hold on, endure it and it will pass." ”

I trembled and went to take out the handkerchief in my arms and wanted to bite it in my mouth, so I didn't have to bite my tongue, but Achu hurriedly did it for me when I saw this.

My scream still scared Sun Zhongjing into a tremble, he calmed down, began to cut the wound to take out the arrow, even if I bit the handkerchief, every time Sun Zhongjing cut a knife, I couldn't help but snort, the pain almost wanted to pass out, but now I am about to hurry after dealing with the injury, I can only desperately stay awake.

There was a soft "ding" sound, and the bloody arrows fell to the ground, and there was flesh and blood that had been torn off on the barbs. Sun Zhongjing pricked me with a needle to stop the bleeding, took medicine powder and gauze and put it on, and in order to facilitate my movement, he wrapped the bandage tightly in a circle, and finally for the sake of safety, he still wrapped the pulled arrow and put it in the medicine box.

I stood up with the help of Achu, and the pain in my right shoulder made me dizzy. I forced myself to stay conscious, and asked Achu not to help me, and tried to walk on my own until my feet gradually became steady, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

The next step is to go out of the valley and return to the city. The reason why there is no one to ambush this battlefield is now due to the battle of the Valley of No Return five years ago. At that time, Gu Chenyuan, the eldest son of the British Duke of Huaguo, led 500 elite soldiers to raid the valley without returning, and the whole army was wiped out.

This is what we know, and it is also the blood hatred that all the soldiers of China regard as a great shame. In this battle, there are 500 heroic souls who died here, there are the Chinese god of war who was seriously injured and almost died, and Lin Yi, the deputy general who had his legs broken and could only retreat from the battlefield.

In Aguyi's account, although the 500 elite cavalry of the Gu family army were wiped out, the main general was killed in battle, and the deputy general was captured, Beirong also suffered heavy losses. Huyanlu sent a full 2,000 troops to participate in the ambush, and in the end less than 20 people came back alive, and nine generals and generals died, which was too unbelievable for Beirong, who occupied the geographical advantage and initiative at that time, as the ambush party, and has not yet been decided.

Since then, the Valley of No Return has become a place that neither side wants to set foot in, and the Beirong soldiers have rumored that the Valley of No Return will allow everyone who enters it to go without returning, so it must not be fought here. Now without our "unexpected characters" forcibly driving them into the Valley of No Return, they would not dare to set foot here.

A trip to the north turned out to be a lot of secrets, which we didn't expect. Whether it is between the warring Hua and Beirong, or the large and small tribes within Beirong, or the borders and courts of Hua, the treacherous political struggles and entanglements of interests are linked one by one, and all those involved in it must be swallowed up.

Now, this "big drama" is just the tip of the iceberg in front of us, and no one knows whether they will have a chance to get out.

And on the battlefield, a big war is already close at hand.
