Chapter 15 Escape from the Cliff
Seeing this scene in the distance, Wei Xian's eyes were full of coldness, and he hooked his lips and smiled.
As soon as Wei Chimu died, he was the biggest contributor to the suppression of the rebellion, and except for this thorn in his side, no one in the capital could shake his position from then on, which killed two birds with one stone.
Wei Xian completely let go of his hanging heart, turned around with flying eyebrows, and ordered: "The traitors have been eliminated, collect the troops and return to Beijing." ”
Due to Wei Xian's sneak attack, Zhang Qing escaped in the hands of Wei Chimu, but in the end did not escape the fate of being captive, Zhang Qing as the leader of the rebel army, the crime was heinous, and the soldiers of the Gyeonggi battalion did not dare to kill people without authorization, so they had to tie it up and hand it over to Wei Xian, the only remaining supreme commander.
It stands to reason that if Zhang Qing is not captured alive, then he will be killed if he is killed, but if he is captured alive, he should be brought back to the capital and brought to the emperor for him to be killed.
But Wei Xian was ruthless and didn't intend to let him live a few more hours. Without saying a word, he came to Zhang Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, drew his long sword, and sealed his throat with a sword.
Wei Xian led the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers from the Gyeonggi battalion back to the capital to face the saint.
After a night of chaos, the capital was already in shambles, and although the government issued a proclamation informing that the rebellion had been put down, the people still hid in their homes and did not dare to go out, and the streets were empty, looking depressed.
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered in the court, waiting for the return of Wei Xian and Wei Chimu, two heroes of the quelling of the rebellion. However, in the end, only Wei Xian was the only one who waited.
Wei An and Baiguan were all surprised.
Wei Xian slowly entered the court, squatted down and knelt, raised the token with both hands, and his voice was loud but with a hint of sadness. "Father Qi, the rebels have been wiped out, and the traitor Zhang Qing has been corrected on the spot, but the king of Xinling is ......."
"What's wrong with King Xinling?" Wei An frowned and hurriedly asked.
Wei Xian buried his head lower, and his voice was even more sad: "King Xinling sacrificed his life to pursue the rebels, but was accidentally ambushed by the rebels and was forced to jump off the cliff, and now, there are no bones left. ”
"Huh? How so? King Xinling was brave and unmatched, and he had never suffered defeat, so how could he die like this? ”
"King Xinling is loyal to the country and worries for the king, and he has been doing his duty for nearly ten years, but now he died due to a rebellion, what a pity!"
There was an uproar when the court ascended, and the officials exchanged heads and ears below, and there were many discussions, and most of them showed a look of regret when they talked about it. But how much sincerity there is, it is unknown.
However, as the emperor, Wei An sincerely felt pity and pity, although Wei Chimu was young, but he had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he was like a god, it can be said that the peace and happiness of the southern kingdom in recent years were all because of him. With such a rare general, Wei An was naturally reluctant.
Holding his forehead and sighing, the emperor was saddened.
There is no endless road, after Yu Chimu and Scarlet Yan jumped off the cliff with the heart of survival, they fell into the deep pool at the bottom of the cliff, although they fell a little hard, but they did not hurt their lives, and both of them picked up a life.
Both of them were wounded, and when they climbed up from the deep pool with great difficulty, they were exhausted, and fell asleep on a large rock.
The sun was scorching, and it didn't take long for the clothes on my body to dry. The pain in the arrow caused Scarlet to quickly come to her senses, gritted her teeth and sat up, looking down at her left shoulder. The cluster of arrows was still stuck in the flesh, and the blood flowed out, and it was extremely bright red in the sun. You have to treat the wound quickly to stop the bleeding, otherwise you will definitely bleed to death.
Scarlet Smoke usually has the habit of carrying some usual medicines with him, but after swimming in the waterhole for so long, everything on his body has fallen off almost the same.
She dug around for a long time, and finally pulled out a small porcelain vase. It is just a medicinal powder to stop bleeding and remove blood stasis. Gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow on his own, then pulled off his shirt and quickly sprinkled the powder on the wound.
This hemostatic medicine is her master's special medicine, which has a very good effect, and it only stopped the bleeding for a short time.
Scarlet Smoke made a rough self-rescue, turned to look at Yu Chimu, only to see him with a blank face, lying on the stones, motionless. Scarlet Smoke quickly probed his snort, and found that his breath was weak and his pulse was weak.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" Scarlet Smoke shouted a few times in panic, but there was no response. Wei Chimu was already seriously injured, jumped from such a height, swam for a while, his physical strength was exhausted, and now he has entered a coma, and the situation is very dangerous.
Scarlet Yan hurriedly groped around his body again, and finally found another porcelain bottle, poured out the pills inside, and hurriedly fed two to Yu Chimu. Then I looked around and saw that it was surrounded by mountains, with uneven hills in the distance and a large area of dense forests in the distance.
Yu Chimu's wound was very deep and long, unlike her arrow wound, she needed a lot of medicinal materials to stop the bleeding, and the hemostatic medicine she carried on her body was not enough at all, so she had to find another way. So she placed Yu Chimu under a tree to keep him from being scorched by the sun, then tidied up her clothes and dragged her tired body to the dense forest.
There are a lot of herbs growing in this wood, enough to scarlet smoke for emergency relief.
Scarlet Smoke picked the herbs, returned to the waterhole, skillfully mashed the herbs into slag, and then carefully helped Yu Chimu up and leaned against the tree, unbuttoned his shirt, cleaned the wound, and applied the prepared medicine residue to Yu Chimu's wound.
After the amount of bleeding was significantly reduced, she tore off her dress into strips of cloth and bandaged the wounds on Yu Chimu's body one by one.
There are three sword wounds on Yu Chimu's body, and judging from the wounds, they are from the same sword, which also shows that these three injuries are all from Wei Xian's hands. Scarlet Yan couldn't help but feel a little distressed, Wei Chimu was a general on the battlefield, dedicated to the country and the people, he was not injured by the enemy, but he was injured by the insidious villain, it was really not worth it.
Wei Xian, that despicable villain, she will definitely let him die a good death one day!
Scarlet Smoke is the world's first divine doctor, and her medical skills are naturally outstanding, and under her treatment, the wound no longer bleeds, and her face slowly improves. It's just that his vitality is seriously injured and it takes a while to recover, and he hasn't been able to wake up yet.
Seeing that the sun is about to set, you have to find a place to live first, otherwise at night, the cool breeze is blowing, and you have to be frozen to death, and in this deep mountain, I am afraid that there will be wild beasts.
Scarlet Smoke left Yu Chimu in place, walked around alone, and finally found a cave not far from Lishuitan after searching for a long time.
The cave space is not large, but it is enough for two people to live, and it is dry and not damp, and the environment is good.
As far as Scarlet Yan is concerned, such a situation can only be regarded as moderate, in her previous life, she has encountered a situation several times worse than this, and her survival skills are very strong, so she can deal with it very easily, even if she has to take care of the sleeping Wei Chimu, she is also at ease.
When he took Yu Chimu to the cave, it was the sun setting, and while it was not yet dark, Scarlet Smoke hurriedly went out to pick up a lot of dry firewood and came back.
When I was learning art from my master in the mountains, I often lived in the wild, drilling wood for fire, hunting for food, these were all basic skills, and I had long been proficient in scarlet smoke, and it was not a problem at all.
The waterhole that I fell into before is a living pool, so there are aquatic plants, fish and other living creatures underneath that can be eaten. But now it's dark, it's hard to go out, and Crimson is tired, even if I'm hungry, I don't want to move anymore.
lit a bonfire in the cave, checked Wei Chimu's injuries again, and made sure that there was no major problem before sitting down against the wall and falling asleep unconsciously.
In the quiet cave, the firewood is burning beside it, and it is warm. The occasional whirring sound of the wind outside, accompanied by the occasional beeping sound of firewood, forms a beautiful melody of nature. Yu Chimu woke up in such an environment.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the bonfire was in full bloom, illuminating the entire cave, and beside me, Scarlet Smoke was sleeping soundly with his back against the wall. He was awakened by the pain of the wound, and he felt as if the flesh and blood all over his body were being burned, and the pain was so painful that it was difficult to continue sleeping.
At this moment, looking at Scarlet Smoke's sleeping face, he suddenly felt that the pain in his body seemed to have suddenly subsided a little. He remembered jumping off a cliff to a waterhole, and then climbing up with Scarlet Smoke before he lost consciousness.
When he fainted, Scarlet Smoke gave him medicine to heal his wounds, and found this cave to live in, she must have been very tired after doing so much alone.
Yu Chimu felt apologetic, and at the same time there was a sense of ...... The feeling of bliss. It was the first time he had experienced this feeling after so many years of life.
As if he had forgotten the pain, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he reached out to touch Scarlet Smoke's cheek, his eyes were gentle like water. I'm so glad I picked her up on the road, otherwise I would have missed her.
Because of the pain of the wound, Wei Chi Mu spent the night in half sleep, and when the sky was bright, he improved slightly. Without disturbing the scarlet smoke, Wei Chimu stood up with difficulty against the wall and walked towards the outside of the cave. He wanted to go out and get some fresh air, and take a walk around the neighborhood to see if he could pick some wild fruit and come back.
After Scarlet Smoke woke up, he didn't see Yu Chimu, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, so he was about to go out to look for it, and Yu Chimu came back, still holding a bag of something in his hand.
Scarlet Yan breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly went over to help Wei Chimu, and said angrily: "You are so badly injured, you can't move around at will, otherwise the wound will crack, and the medicine I gave you yesterday will be in vain." ”
"It's okay, I'm paying attention." Yu Chimu smiled and handed the picked wild fruit to Scarlet Smoke, "This is what I picked just now, I have tasted it, it tastes good, you should be hungry too, try it quickly." ”
Looking at the fresh fruit, the scarlet smoke suddenly couldn't be released. sighed and said, "You are my patient, from now on, you have to listen to me, understand?" ”
Yu Chi Mu nodded happily: "Okay, listen to you." ”
After eating some fruits, Scarlet Smoke was worried about Wei Chimu's injury again, and went out to pick some herbs and came back to change the medicine for him.
"Take off your shirt, I'll change your dressing."
Wei Chimu wrinkled his good-looking eyebrows, revealing a very painful expression, "The wound hurts very much, I can't move, you can help me take it off." ”
