Chapter 106: The Snake Chokes

Chapter 106: The sound of a poisonous snake choking

Fang Yuan was very strange that night. went to bed early, and then when Shu Yu finished washing up after the official documents, he was already asleep. Shu Yu didn't doubt it, hugged him well, closed his eyes and fell asleep. But to be honest, Shu Yu hadn't practiced martial arts for a long time after all, so he couldn't notice Fang Yuan's chaotic heartbeat and gentle unnatural movements after he fell asleep.

Just after the hour, Fang Yuan obviously felt that someone around him moved, and then there was the sound of Shu Yu leaving, but he tried his best to play the appearance of sleeping soundly. In fact, he couldn't move even if he wanted to.

He watched as the corners of Shu Yu's mouth hooked into a smile, put on his cloak, and took away the transfer talisman that Chu Zhaonan had given him to the city gate guards from Fang Yuan's clothes, and then went out without concealing it at all. The door was not closed tightly, the wind and frost ran in, violently swept all the curtains in the room, Fang Yuan on the bed felt cold, but he had no choice, he didn't even have the strength to move.

Even if there was the example of the Ministry of Etiquette Shangshu in the past, even if there was so many days of tacit understanding with him, now Fang Yuan had to admit that Shu Yu had just drugged him, and the matter was like this, when he was not wary at all. He remembered that his master had said a long time ago that the most terrible thing about engaging in the killer industry was to be motivated, and now, he was successfully punished.

Time slipped away slowly, completely unaware of what was going on outside. But he began to pray in his heart, and he didn't want it to be Chu Zhaonan who came to solve his predicament at all. Once Chu Zhaonan comes, it means that everything has come to an end, maybe it is really a bet that he will never see Shu Yu again, and he can't afford to gamble.

"Early." In the end, Fang Yuan still didn't have the warm quilt and the unknown tiredness on his body and fell asleep. Then when he woke up again, Shu Yu just put his hand on the back of his head, his head resting on the crook of his arm, looking like he had a good night's sleep.

The smile on his face was so natural, as if he had really had a good night. Fang Yuan still smiled back at him, there was a rightly satisfied look in his voice, whether there was anything behind it, only he knew: "Early." ”

Shu Yu still has the same thing to do today as usual. Of course, Fang Yuan also had it, but he suddenly didn't want to stay in the mansion. made an excuse to go to Chu Zhaonan's side, and the two of them were slightly embarrassed when they separated. Shu Yu looked at him and wanted to keep it, but he raised his hand and put it down, his face was entangled for a while, and then he gave up.

"Master." When Fang Yuan entered the main hall, he found Chu Zhaonan standing in front of the sand table, his face was serious, but his eyes were unfocused, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Chang Dong turned his back to him, standing cross-legged, and the two of them seemed to be angry. Fang Yuan was a little confused.

"Well, where did you go last night?" There was obvious exhaustion in Chu Zhaonan's voice. He arranged for someone to ambush outside the mansion last night, but until now no one has come to regain even a word of his life. Now that it's bright outside, there is only the army left in the city, no matter what happens, Chu Zhaonan will know it as soon as possible, so most of those people are wiped out.

Shu Yu ...... He drugged me. Fang Yuan's face was a little unbearable, and his voice began to be low. Chu Zhaonan took a closer look, his face full of disappointment.

"General, the Tatars outside are beginning to attack the city." The herald ran in suddenly, his iron helmet covered in dust and his face in embarrassment. As soon as the words were spoken, the three of them were in good spirits, and then rushed to the outside. The stance on the walls is now the most important.

Today's Armory Department happened to be patrolling under the attacked southern wall. I don't know what the Tatars think, they will choose to attack the city today, but the bad guess is that they have already got the entire defensive data of the northern city. This is the most worrying aspect.

Gu Lingge had nothing to do today, and then ran over. By the time Chu Zhaonan found out, Gu Lingge had already run the entire city wall and came back. "The soldiers of the northern city wall are not psychologically good, and they may collapse soon, the natural defense in the east is the best, and it should be able to hold out for a while, and then the west needs weapon support, so it's best to find someone to go over now. Then, remove Shu Yu. ”

Gu Lingge's words made Chang Dong feel that it was not quite right at that time. Gu Lingge was obviously in the inner courtyard, but now he knows a lot. And that's just a lap away.

But when it came to removing Shu Yu, Fang Yuan felt bad in his heart at that time, but he couldn't find a reason to refuse. But he didn't expect Gu Lingge to get involved in this matter. Gu Lingge is also a farmer no matter what he says, and he didn't expect when he would pay attention to him.

"Yunshuang told me about last night, it's useless to keep such a person." Gu Lingge's face was plain, then he took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to Fang Yuan, a pair of amber eyes looked so tight, as if they could make people sink in, "Drink this, your medicine last night was koji wine." ”

Koji sake, strictly speaking, is a type of liquor that makes people feel strange when you drink it. Koji liquor was originally used as an anesthetic, but now doctors have a shadow of the use of this kind of sake, so many times koji sake is still used as a health sake, but because of its purity, there are many things that can be added, and there are many intentions for it to be extended.

And the koji wine that Shu Yu used on Fang Yuan was deliberately added with rush grass and hooked vines. Rush grass is sweet, light, slightly cold, has the function of clearing the heart and treating insomnia, and hook vine can calm and lower blood pressure, clear heat and calm the liver, and calm the wind, both are very good Chinese medicine, but things are always too much, even if it is a medicine that cures all diseases in the world, it will become poison if the dose is too much, this is the degree.

"Thank you, owner." Fang Yuan lowered his head slightly and took it, his wrist trembling slightly. Gu Lingge didn't seem to see it, and stepped directly onto the city gate. Chu Zhaonan and Chang Dong followed behind, Fang Yuan was stunned, but he was pulled by Yun Shuang, and then he came to his senses and followed him to the city gate.

"Is Kuoyuan already so strong?" Gu Lingge still didn't believe it. Although she didn't see anything clearly when she was kidnapped to Guicheng before, judging from the people who came and went in the palace, she hadn't reached such a lineup yet.

There was a phalanx lined up on the opposite side, there were about two thousand cavalry in the past, and the number of infantry was not clear, but Kuoyuan stood in the front, the white tall horse and the leather holster on it were a pair of crossed scimitars, he was very imposing, originally just looked at Beicheng with a look of concern, after seeing Gu Lingge's figure, his eyes began to become sharp, and the air around him began to gradually stagnate. With a terrifying aura.

"It's the soldiers who were assembled in half a month, and you were recuperating in bed at the time, so you didn't know about this." When Chu Zhaonan talked about this, he was also a little nervous. The two cities other than Guicheng did not serve the role he imagined, but instead became fortresses and logistical sources. Beicheng is equivalent to fighting against three cities, and the result is not optimistic.

"Really? Then let's move, it's death early or late anyway. Although Gu Lingge's words are broken, they don't sound as difficult as they imagined, but they have a sense of breaking the kettle - although they are far from going to that kind of place.

Kuoyuan began to shout under the city tower, and the first sentence at the beginning was actually aimed at Gu Lingge. But he only knew Gu Lingge's military position, and didn't know her surname, so he simply called the adjutant directly, and asked her to talk to him by name. At this time, Gu Lingge was really angry when he saw Kuoyuan.

"What do you want to say?" Gu Lingge didn't even have the honorific title of calling him the prince, it was a very rude move, but Gu Lingge obviously did it on purpose, Chu Zhaonan, who was standing on the side, obviously felt Gu Lingge's anger, but he just leaned towards her without a trace, and didn't say anything.

"Last time, the adjutant didn't say goodbye without saying goodbye, it doesn't seem to be in line with your Han Qin's rules, is this your gentlemanly demeanor?" Kuoyuan's voice was a strong smell of gunpowder, but it was faint in Gu Lingge's ears. Is it really impossible to find something to say to find fault with the whole system? The gentlemanly demeanor of the entire Han and Qin Dynasty is not something that can be expressed in such a thing, not to mention,

"Then can the prince be called a man as bright as the real sun? The man of the great high shore taught by the god of the steppe is synonymous with taking advantage of people's dangers? Gu Lingge's raised tail note showed her disdain. The god of the grassland is the most noble existence, and Kuoyuan has always advertised himself as a real man, and he is the pride of the sky chosen by the god of the grassland, but what is the use of such a pride of the sky?

"The adjutant is still like a woman who can chew words, and he really lives up to that body. This king will always tear you out of there. "This is already a naked demonstration. Gu Lingge's eyes still didn't move, and he didn't even blink his eyelids. All cowards will only get their tongues off the fast of their tongues.

With Kuoyuan's order, the siege battle began. The Tatars' forces were more agile and skillful, and the vastness of the steppe and their weapons and their good sense gave them a strong sense of direction, but the soldiers who had been trained by Chu Zhaonan and Chang Dong for almost two months were also improved. Chu Zhaonan said a long time ago that as long as the Tatars withdraw their troops, then everyone can go home and enjoy the joy of family, which is a very tempting condition, so everyone has a reason to insist.

It turns out that when Kuoyuan is alone in the rivers and lakes, his brain should not be enough. The Tatars clearly saw that the northern wall would be better defeated, and they asked them to storm the southern gate, and in the end, the military order could not be violated, and it could only be the countless casualties of the Tatars. Gu Lingge stood on the city wall, looked at Kuoyuan's stubborn eyes, and snorted softly in his nose.

The Tatar siege technique was currently only possible with the help of ropes and blades, and the reason why knocking wood was not feasible here was that it was not available in the wilderness for the time being, and the target was too large to be destroyed. If you do this, the target is small, and you have a good chance of hitting, but the bad thing is that as long as the trebuchet is erected on the wall, it will cause a series of casualties, and there will be no time to retreat.

This is also the reason why the Tatar forces suffered successive losses. When Kuoyuan realized it later, he ordered the arrow to be released, but the decline was irreversible, and it was too late to do anything. In the end, I can only return to your city with some remnants of troops. Gu Lingge was on the city wall the whole time, there was no arrogance and no pride and reserve, she just looked at Kuoyuan lightly, she looked at him no matter what he did, but by the end of the siege, she didn't find out where the main reason why Kuoyuan was able to serve as the commander of the first army.
