At a distance of eighty miles, Xiao Zhihan led five thousand elite soldiers and galloped all the way, and after three hours, he saw the gate of Wan'an City.

Wan'an Castle is backed by mountains that stretch for thousands of miles, and the city is surrounded by a moat several zhang wide. It should be a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, but because of the recent wars, the mountains and rivers are shrouded in boundless death.

The water in the moat had long been stained red with blood, and it was impossible to find the slightest trace of clarity. Above the city walls, there are marks of swords and spears everywhere. The land beneath the city walls, black and red soaked in blood and the bones of the two countries, could be detached, and there was a rancid smell of blood mixed with broken arms.

As soon as the five thousand elite soldiers led by Xiao Zhihan arrived at the city, dense arrows flashing with cold light appeared above the city entrance. A middle-aged man in black and red armor, standing on top of the castle tower, asked in a deep voice, "Who is coming?" ”

Hearing the unceremonious inquiry from the top of the city tower, the five thousand elite soldiers behind Xiao Zhihan were slightly impetuous.

They traveled thousands of miles to this ghost place to support Wan'an City, and these people in Wan'an City didn't entertain them with good wine and food, and they were so unkind to them!

"We are reinforcements from the capital, and the people inside are not ready to open the door."

A soldier behind Xiao Zhihan shouted loudly at the top of the city tower.

Hearing that the people under the city were reinforcements from the capital, the tone of the middle-aged man on the city tower softened slightly, but he still had no intention of opening the door, "How do you prove it?" ”

It can't be blamed on this middle-aged man for being too careful, but the army in southern Xinjiang has been unable to attack Wan'an City for a long time, and has used a lot of tactics in recent days, and the spies who have infiltrated the city have also been arrested by them. In case these people under the city tower were sent by Southern Xinjiang and infiltrated Wan'an City under the banner of reinforcements from the capital, then this dangerous city would really not be able to hold it.

However, the five thousand elite soldiers behind Xiao Zhihan did not appreciate the painstaking efforts of this middle-aged man at all, and after hearing his words, they all showed dissatisfaction.

Xiao Zhihan stretched out his left hand slightly, and the shadow guard on the side understood, and immediately sent the longbow and arrows.

He took the token representing the identity of the prince and tied it to the arrow. Xiao Zhihan grabbed his bow and arrows and shot the token above the city tower.

The middle-aged man on the top of the city tower took the token, carefully identified it, and shouted behind him, "Open the city gate!" ”

There was a "boom" sound, and the city gate, which had been hoisted high, slowly lowered and rested on the moat.

The middle-aged man who was standing on the top of the city tower and negotiating with Xiao Zhihan walked out with a few soldiers. Looking at Xiao Zhihan, he saluted respectfully, "Zheng Nan, the deputy general of Wan'an City, see His Royal Highness King Ming." ”

"Get up." Xiao Zhihan said in a deep voice.

Zheng Nan stood up, gave way to the side, and said to Xiao Zhihan, "Lord Wang, please!" ”

Xiao Zhihan gently kicked the horse's belly, and the horse stepped forward and headed towards Wan'an City.

After entering Wan'an City, Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan more intuitively understood the impact of this rebellion in southern Xinjiang.

Although the soldiers defending the city dutifully performed their duties, the tiredness on their faces and the fear in their eyes could not be hidden. The battles of the past few days have lowered the morale of these soldiers to a low point.

"Vice General Zheng, I see that these soldiers are a little blue on their faces and their eyes are dark, but what happened in the city?" Yan Xi looked at these soldiers and asked out loud.

Zheng Nan glanced at Yan Xi with some doubts, and hesitated whether to say it.

"She's the king's military doctor, but you say it's okay." Xiao Zhihan saw Zheng Nan's worry and said loudly.

Zheng Nan nodded and said to Yan Xi, "The military doctor has good eyesight. Wan'an City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and ordinary siege methods are not easy to use here, so we can hold out here for a whole month. But recently, those people in southern Xinjiang have lost patience, and in order to take Wan'an City, they directly poisoned the river. ”

As he spoke, Zheng Nan's face showed a trace of resentment, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" Yan Xi's face condensed slightly and asked.

Zheng Nan shook his head and said, "The people of Southern Xinjiang are menacing, where are there still a few doctors who dare to stay?" Fortunately, this poison was discovered early, and as long as you no longer drink the water in the city, you can temporarily control it. ”

Yan Xi looked at the soldiers whose lips were already obviously chapped and sighed.

Where can a man do without water? No wonder the guards she saw just now were covered with a thick layer of death.

After placing the 5,000 elite soldiers brought by Xiao Zhihan for a while, Zheng Nan walked over. Seeing that Yan Xi, who was holding a fox, was still standing beside Xiao Zhihan, his eyes flashed slightly.

In addition to being a military doctor, this woman is afraid that she is still the pillow person of His Royal Highness King Ming!

Zheng Nan sighed in his heart, but his face remained silent. Looking at Xiao Zhihan and Yan Xi, he said, "The city lord is in the city lord's mansion at this time and a few generals are ceremonial, please come with the end." ”

Yan Xi and Xiao Zhihan followed behind Zheng Nan and walked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

Because of the rebellion in southern Xinjiang, most of the people of Wan'an City fled. But there are also those who do not know where to flee and are still in the city. Since learning that the water source had been poisoned, these people have also been cut off from water. At this time, at a glance, Yan Xi only felt that the impact of these people on her was greater than the plague patients who were waiting to die in the Pingcheng quarantine area at that time.

"Give me the water, A-Niang wants to drink water." A crying girl's voice came, and Yan Xi turned her head to look over.

I saw a little girl of five or six years old, holding the thigh of a middle-aged man, crying and begging to reach the bowl of water that he had just taken away.

"Why don't you listen to persuasion, this water has been poisoned, and you can't drink it! Besides, your aunt is already dead, even if there is really water for her to drink, she won't wake up. The middle-aged man saw that the little girl was holding his thighs and did not relax, and impatiently threw the water bowl in his hand to the ground.

Listening to the sound of the water bowl breaking, the little girl suddenly let go of the middle-aged man's leg and threw herself towards the water that had been spilled on the ground. The water seeped into the ground, and the little girl anxiously used her dirty sleeves to suck the water on the ground. After getting a little wet on her sleeve, the little girl crawled to her mother's side on her knees, and moistened her mother's chapped lips little by little with her sleeve.

"A-Niang, we have water to drink, you swallow it quickly!" The little girl hugged her mother's body and kept crying. Seeing that her mother didn't react, the little girl hurriedly asked, "A-Niang, is there too little water?" Don't worry, I'll go get you a lot of water. ”

The little girl took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, and quietly ran to the well not far away. quickly took a sip of water in her mouth and ran in the direction of her mother.

The sharp-eyed man saw the little girl with water in her mouth and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it. But frightened by this man, the little girl swallowed the mouthful of water alive.

"Spit it out, spit it out." The man grabbed the little girl and turned her upside down, reaching out and slashing at her throat continuously.

But the little girl drank the poisonous water, and her face became more and more pale. A pair of dirty little hands, covering his stomach, kept churning in the man's arms. There was still a faint cry in his mouth, "Auntie, I hurt, it hurts......"

Yan Xi on the side, exuding a faint killing intent all over his body. She is not against war, after all, their positions are different, so they cannot unilaterally judge who is right and who is wrong. However, in order to capture Wan'an City, these people from southern Xinjiang actually disregarded the lives of the people of a city in such a vain that they didn't even let go of a five-year-old child!

"Big White!" Yan Xi let out a low sigh.

Da Bai, who was lying in her arms, instantly understood her intentions, flew out of her arms, and kicked the man holding the little girl to the side with one paw. Before the man could react, Dabai bit the little girl's wrist.

"Wow......" The little girl whose wrist was bitten out of a few teeth marks by Dabai burst into tears, and her body continued to struggle.

Da Bai gently patted the little girl's body with the fox's tail, and held the little girl's body with four fox paws, and the fox's mouth kept sucking at the place where it had bitten.

"Where did this fox come from? Don't go away yet! The man who got up from the ground saw Da Bai biting the little girl, grabbed a flat pole from the ground, and was about to hit Da Bai.

Da Bai turned around and bared his teeth at the man and roared, scaring the man so much that he didn't dare to move anymore.

After there was no threat, Da Bai continued to suck the toxins in the little girl's body, and seeing that the little girl's face gradually returned to normal, Da Bai turned around and left, and went to the well on the side.

Da Bai stretched out the fox's head to look at the well, and the fox's face instantly wrinkled together.

Yan Xi saw Da Bai's appearance, raised his eyebrows, and walked over.

What kind of poison is this, even Dabai can't figure it out.

However, after walking to Da Bai, Yan Xi finally understood the reason why Da Bai wrinkled a fox face.

The water from this well is connected to the underground river and flows to almost every corner of Wan'an City. Even if Dabai sucks out the poison from this well, sooner or later it will be recontaminated by the poison from other places.

Unless, dripping the blood of Dabai into this well, through the underground river, this special antidote is transported to every place, and these poisons that have been put in the water source are completely cured.

Yan Xi hugged Da Bai and comforted it with distress.

Da Bai rubbed the fox's head in Yan Xi's arms, and his eyes were almost full of little stars.

It knew that its owner would not be so cruel to it and let it bleed to save people.

However, the emotion in Da Bai's eyes didn't last long, and it was washed away by a sharp pain from his claws.

Da Bai turned his head in disbelief and looked at Yan Xi who was smiling at it.

How could this woman do this, while it was not paying attention, secretly made a gap in its paws.

"Da Bai is good, I will lend you a little blood." Yan Xi pressed hard against Da Bai, who wanted to struggle, and sent Da Bai's blood-dripping claws to the well. After about a dozen drops of blood, Yan Xi took out the wound medicine he was carrying with him and sprinkled it on Da Bai's wound. He tore a piece of cloth from the hem of his shirt and bandaged the white wound.

Da Bai, who was bled out, lay in Yan Xi's arms with a loveless face, and let Yan Xi bandage its wounds. Smelling the faint fragrance of medicine coming from the wound, the big white fox's eyes flashed.

Isn't this the blood clotting cream that Yan Xi just refined not long ago? It seems that Yan Xi still cares about its fox.

However, the stinging pain from the claws gradually dimmed the excitement in Da Bai's eyes.

Hmph, if she cared about the fox, she wouldn't have bled it quietly! The owner of this ruined family, does she know how precious a drop of fox's blood is!

"Angry?" Seeing Da Bai drooping, Yan Xi rubbed its ears and asked.

The big white fox's head was biased and he ignored Yan Xi.

If you dare to bleed it, you must be ready to meet the fox's wrath!

"Alas! He also said that he had bled you just now, and he would go back and find a few century-old medicinal herbs to make up for you. Since you ignore me, forget it. Yan Xi sighed and said.

Da Bai's ears moved, and he slowly turned his head, looking at Yan Xi with a proud face.

What the? A few hundred-year-old medicinal herbs want to send the fox away?

Looking at Da Bai's expression, Yan Xi couldn't help but reach out and rub it, and said, "You're almost done!" No matter how much I do, I haven't had anything for ten years! ”

Da Bai glanced at Yan Xi dissatisfied, and seeing the faint threat in Yan Xi's eyes, Da Bai shrank back and lay obediently in Yan Xi's arms, not daring to continue to lose his temper with her.
