Chapter 69: Dream and Reality

Chen An had a long dream.

In his dream, he seemed to return to the scene where he raised his spear and rode his horse to meet the countless iron horsemen.

Fresh and hideous faces appeared in front of him, howling madly and can't wait to kill.

Caught in the rolling torrent, the knife dances in the sky, the gun is like a dragon, and life and death collide in an instant.

He was like a tireless machine, and even though his arms were long since he lost sensation, the spear he wielded never stopped for a moment, and he slammed into the waves of iron riders again and again.

The crimson of blood soaked through his robes and blinded his eyes.

He couldn't remember how many enemies he had killed under his gun, he just remembered that the enemies seemed to be pouring in all directions in all directions as if they were endless, and no matter how much he charged, he could not break through the enemy's encirclement.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a scythe spear slashed the leg of his horse, forcing him to fall off the horse's back, and at the moment of landing, he protected the girl in his arms with one hand, and got back to his feet after a roll, while the spear swept and repelled a group of enemies who took advantage of the opportunity to surround him.

Then, more and more enemies swarmed towards him, and he continued to slam left and right, killing batch after batch of enemies, but the open guns were easy to dodge, and the hidden arrows were difficult to defend against, and no matter how brave he was, he could not avoid the wounds given by the enemy.

Or a knife, or a sword, or a shot.

The man is as dead as iron, how could Chen An fall under this little injury.

The pain only made him mad in the tyrannical killing.

"Who dares to kill me!

Standing on the top of a mountain of blood and bones, his spear pointed at the feared enemies around him, like a demon crawling out of hell with a sharp roar.

No one stepped forward, because no one dared to come forward anymore.

When a terrible scream of collapse sounded, the surrounding enemies instantly abandoned their armor and fled.

Haha –

Seeing this scene, Chen An immediately burst into laughter.

When the laughter stopped, a lonely figure remained on the corpse-strewn battlefield.

He had forgotten when he had lost consciousness, and in the midst of the darkness, he thought death had crept in.

It seems to be a dream but not a dream, and it seems to wake up but not awake.

In a trance, he seemed to feel that there were many people gathered around him, and then these people began to disappear one by one, and occasionally, he would see someone coming, talking, and leaving, and the scenes were like silent black and white silent films.

......

"Doctor Zhong, how is his health?"

As soon as Doctor Zhong stepped out of the wing, Tang Zhiyao, who had been waiting in the courtyard outside the door for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern.

"Back to Lord Tang, after many days of treatment by the old man, the patient's injuries have stabilized, but when he will be able to wake up, the old man can't grasp, and ......" Doctor Zhong arched his hand towards Tang Zhiyao and said a little unspeakable.

"And what?" said Tang Zhiyao, frowning.

"And even if the patient wakes up, I am afraid that he will have to spend the rest of his life in bed. Doctor Zhong was silent for a moment and sighed.

"You mean he's become a waste?" Tang Zhiyao's eyes widened suddenly.

"Yes, although the old man healed his external injuries, his body was overdrawn and his meridians were broken and his spine was damaged...... which is really a medicine stone," Dr. Zhong shook his head.

“...... Thank you, Dr. Zhong. ”

Tang Zhiyao looked at the wing room in a daze, and after a long time, he quietly thanked him and asked his subordinates to send Dr. Zhong away.

On the day of Chen An's large-scale killing outside the Yongping Mansion, Tang Zhiyao was secretly discussing the next step in the suppression of the four major families in Jiangzhou with the Jiangzhou soldiers and horses envoys and others in the government office, and according to the letter received by Tang Xuanfu, the increasingly fierce party struggle between the DPRK and China has reached the point of white heat, and the situation of the old faction led by Confucius scholars is already precarious, and Tang Xuanfu, who is a new party, will naturally not let go of this opportunity to fall into the ground.

During the meeting, Tang Xuanfu seemed to hear someone calling his name, but at that time, his mind was on dealing with the four major families, so he ignored it for a while. Soon after, a staff general under the command of the soldiers and horses envoy rashly broke into something important to report, and since there were no outsiders, the soldiers and horses envoy directly asked the general to publicly state.

As soon as the general said, Tang Xuanfu learned that the governor of Yanshan Pass was killed last night, and now the thief appeared outside Yongping Mansion, and the Yongping Mansion Governor, who had seen through the thief, had sent troops to arrest the thief.

But from beginning to end, the general did not mention the relationship between the thief and Tang Xuanfu.

Compared with dealing with the four major families, the death of the governor of Yanshan Pass was not important at all, and then Tang Xuanfu and the soldiers and horses continued to discuss the unfinished topic.

Near the evening, when Tang Xuanfu and the soldiers and horses were about to discuss the details in detail the next day, another general broke in in a panic and reported in a trembling voice, the thieves who had killed the governor of Yanshan Pass before were now killing outside the city of Yongping Mansion, and the cavalry army that came from Yanshan Pass and the thousands of officers and soldiers in Yongping Mansion had been defeated in the hands of one person.

One can imagine the expressions of Tang Xuanfu and the soldiers and horses who heard the news.

They simply couldn't believe such a ridiculous thing.

After the envoy asked the general to explain the truth, Tang Xuanfu learned that the thief had claimed to be the person who escorted his family in his house, and even many people saw a little girl sitting on the back of the horse on which the thief was riding.

When Tang Xuanfu and the soldiers and horses hurriedly rushed to the city tower and saw the hellish scene outside the city with their own eyes, especially after Tang Xuanfu saw a familiar little girl on a corpse mountain in the distance, he couldn't care about anything else and rushed down the city tower, and rushed to the corpse mountain under the escort of the army......

What happened next will probably need no more elaboration.

Father and daughter reunite and learn the truth.

The only thing that happened was that on the issue of dealing with Chen An, who was dying in a coma, there was a considerable disagreement between Tang Xuanfu and the soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses needed to sacrifice Chen An's life to commemorate the many soldiers killed by him, but Tang Xuanfu wanted to protect his life because of Chen An's life-saving feelings for his daughter, and finally broke up with each other because of this incident.

"Father, is my uncle okay now?"

Back in the lobby, Tang Xuanfu's daughter, accompanied by the maid, hurriedly ran to him and said with tears in her eyes.

Because Dr. Zhong was out of consideration for the patient's condition, it was best not to disturb the patient if there were irrelevant people, and Tang Xuanfu deliberately stopped her, so the little girl never saw Chen An again.

"Don't worry, he's fine, the doctor said, now just wait for him to wake up. Tang Xuanfu comforted his daughter.

"Shall I go to see my uncle, then?" said the little girl, with a look of hope.

"After a while, what he needs most now is a good rest. Tang Xuanfu still shook his head and refused his daughter's request.

After his daughter left disappointed, Tang Xuanfu immediately turned cold.

"Someone, hand me an invitation card to the Soldiers and Horses Envoy's Mansion, I plan to have a banquet in the Mansion tomorrow night. ”
