Chapter Forty-Eight: One City and One Man Which is more important

"If what His Highness said is true, wouldn't it put her sister in danger?" ”

Jiang Ci's heart was like a knife, but his face remained indifferent, and he said duplicitous: "One city and one person, the general should know which is more important." ”

"Your Highness knows that the official road is dangerous, why does he let her sister be the bait?" Su Xian was obviously more angry, and there was a hint of why you didn't change lanes with my sister in and out of his words.

"Yu'er is injured, only this king can protect Ah Yue, and he will definitely arrive in Gwangju City alive."

"Yu'er is injured?" Su Xian couldn't bear to grab Jiang Ci's collar any longer, "Yu'er was injured, and you still let her be bait!" Jiang Ci! How could His Majesty give such a ridiculous marriage! ”

Jiang Ci clenched his palms into a fist and slowly let go, don't look too far and don't dare to look directly into Su Xian's eyes, let alone face his heart.

"Don't hurt your master's sweetheart." Ah Yue suddenly stepped forward to push Su Xian.

Both of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this.

"Sweetheart?" Su Xian let go of his hand, and the sneer made Jiang Ci be pricked by the thorn in his heart again.

He pulled Ah Yue back to his side and said, "General Su should focus on the overall situation and find out the source of the poison first." ”

Su Xian suppressed the emotions in his heart that should not have erupted at this time and said: "As His Highness said, the city is not a plague, but someone has poisoned it, then this poison is afraid that it has been put down in various water sources in the city, as long as those who have drunk the water in the city, they are all infected, and the soldiers of Jingyu Guan have not been spared." ”

Taking the lives of the people of the whole city, turning Gwangju into a dead city, and letting Ku Rin enter a no-man's land, was not unexpected by Jiang Ci, but he never thought that Li Xu would really act like this.

"What is the current situation of Marquis Ning Yuan?"

Su Xian sighed sadly: "Barely supporting." ”

"Is there anything wrong with the general?"

"Cheng Yu and I just entered the city two days ago, and so far... No water has been drunk. ”

"It's not easy to deliver clean water in the current situation." Jiang Ci quickly understood the difficulty, the number of soldiers who could carry water into the city was decreasing every day, and the clean water had to be supplied to the guards of the Jingyu Pass first, and the rest of the people might not be enough, not to mention the main general.

"Now let's take Ah Yue to check the water source."

"Cheng Yu!"

Cheng Yu stayed outside the door and never went far, and hurriedly walked in when he heard the summons.

Gwangju is located in the north, and it is already arid, and Jiang Ci only noticed that Su Xian and Cheng Yu's lips were dry to white.

Now I can only pin my hope on Ah Yue.

In one day, they went to all the wells in the city, and went to the only river to take water samples, and when they returned to the office, it was already dark.

Ah Yue didn't know any medical skills, and she didn't know how to check it, so she could only open all the kettles and drink them one by one.

"Hey, Miss Ayue!" Cheng Yu was in a hurry to shout, but Ah Yue had already swallowed the water.

Ah Yue wiped the water stain and pointed at herself, "It won't be poisoned." ”

"Ah Yue has a special physique, and it is not invaded by all kinds of poisons." Jiang Ci explained.

Although Cheng Yu was shocked, he didn't think about it, only sighed that there were many strange people in the world.

Ah Yue already knew the answer before she tasted everything, but she didn't know how to say the medicinal materials needed for detoxification, and these people were in trouble.

"Go and check if there is anyone in the city who can understand Miao Jiang's dialect."

"General, Gwangju is not open to trade, and the people in the city have lived here for generations, and now there are serious casualties, how can they find it."

Cheng Yu is telling the truth, and it is impossible to find someone in Gwangju who can understand foreign languages.

"Ah Yue." Jiang Ci thought of a way, "How many medicinal herbs, have you seen them?" Possibly drawn? ”

Ah Yue nodded confidently.

"That couldn't be better." Su Xian had a smile on his face, "Cheng Yu, go find a few more doctors." ”

"Yes."

In less than half an hour, Cheng Yu brought back three doctors, and it was already all the people in the entire Gwangju City who could find those who had not yet fallen ill.

During this period, Ah Yue had already drawn all the medicinal materials, and the identification of the medicinal materials was quite smooth, and the three of them agreed on the same page, but after writing the prescription, everyone had the same doubts on their faces.

"How?" Su Xian's heart was more anxious than anyone else, "These medicinal herb city Chinese medicine halls are still in stock." ”

"This..."

Three people, you look at me, I'll look at you, an older doctor took the lead in replying: "There is a lot of stock, but... But every flavor on this recipe is highly poisonous. ”

Hearing this, Su Xian looked at Ah Yue, stared at her eyes and was silent for a long time before he ordered: "Cheng Yu, I'll leave it all to you." ”

"The last general commands." Cheng Yu didn't dare not delay for a moment, and hurriedly took the doctor to save people.

Su Xian rubbed his forehead and rubbed his temples and sat on the coach's chair, his voice deepened: "Miss Ah Yue, will there be any shortcomings in the method of fighting poison with poison?" ”

"Hmm..."Ah Yue thought for a moment and pointed around her chest: "This, this, this, this, this... It couldn't be better. ”

"All the organs are damaged, alive... It's also a wasted person. Su Xian leaned back in his chair, his mood becoming heavier and heavier, "The person who poisons the person can be punished." ”

"It's not easy to be alive."

Jiang Ci walked to the window and looked up.

The full moon in the sky was bright and flawless, and the moonlight sprinkled into the city, which seemed to be peaceful, but it was full of endless sorrow, and suddenly the blood on the street rose along with the light, and gradually dyed the moon red.

500 miles outside Gwangju City.

The red moon reflected on the sword, and the blood reflected each other.

"Sister! Behind! ”

Su Yu swung his sword and turned around, blood splashed on his face, and he didn't have time to wipe it before he met the next knife.

"The emperor's son, it's really expensive."

A knife slashed over, and Su Yu resisted with the body of the sword.

The swords struck each other, and with a bang, Su Yu was shocked and took a few steps back, and his palms were faintly numb.

Striking back and forth, she didn't have time to take a breath, raised her leg and kicked the chest of the person behind her, buying herself some leeway, pulling out the hairpin with lightning speed and plunging it straight into the person's neck, turning around and using it as a shield to block the attack in front of her, finding the opportunity to pierce the heart with a sword.

The two corpses fell to the ground, and Su Yu's body also collapsed to the ground.

"Sister!" Xiao Mingyuan hurriedly ran over to help her.

"Don't move me, I'll rest for a while."

The bones all over the body seemed to be scattered, and there were constant assassins along the way, and the four of them were scattered halfway through, and now I don't know what the situation of Dong Wen and Xu Tiandong is.

Su Yu looked up at the red in the sky, the blood moon is a bad omen, or the mountains and rivers are turbulent, and the flames are everywhere.

She knew she had to get out of here as soon as possible and find a place to rest, but she was so tired that the smell of blood on her body had begun to grow rancid.

Just when she was tired, a pair of eyes slowly opened not far away, got up from the pile of corpses, and slashed at the two with a knife.

Phew!

The blade of the knife tore through the flesh and penetrated from the belly to the back, and the long knife was drawn, and the man fell to his knees with his eyes wide open, completely lifeless.

The blood-stained knife fell from his hand and slammed into the ground with a clatter

Xiao Mingyuan's hands still maintained the posture of holding the knife, but those hands trembled really much.

"I... I.. I killed someone... I killed someone.."

"In the era of the law of the jungle, how many people in the center of power can not have blood on their hands?" Su Yu was so tired that his voice was weak, and he couldn't open his eyes, "If you don't kill him, he will kill you, be stronger, and there may be an ambush further along." ”

After not receiving a response for a long time, Su Yu opened his tired eyes and looked at Xiao Mingyuan, and his heart trembled.

She stood up and held Xiao Mingyuan's arm: "Sixth Highness? Xiao Mingyuan? Xiao Mingyuan! ”

Syllable!

Su Yu slapped Xiao Mingyuan hard, and the eyes that had lost consciousness eased a little because of the pain.

"Mingyuan? Wake up! ”

Su Yu snorted, raised his hand and slapped him again.

"Are you awake?"

Xiao Mingyuan completely recovered this time, and looked at Su Yu and shed two tears: "Sister, I killed someone with my own hands... You see that I still have that person's blood on my body, and the smell can't be washed off anymore.... I can't wash it off anymore.."

"I couldn't wash it off, so I threw it away." Su Yu sighed, looking at the young man who was the same age as her younger brother, she couldn't bear it.

"Mingyuan, since you worship me as a teacher, today I will teach you the first lesson, you must know that justice also requires sacrifice, and the most terrible thing in this world is not blood on your hands, but the inability to control the hatred and desire in your heart."

Su Yu put his hand on his heart: "As long as this heart remains unchanged, you can be fearless and fearless, and you will not forget your original intention." ”

"Don't forget your original intention..."Xiao Mingyuan's thoughts gradually drifted away.

Su Yu patted his arm and pulled him back to the moment: "It's good if you can listen to it, it's dangerous here, you can't continue to stay, let's find a place to live quickly." ”

If she doesn't sleep again, she really won't be able to move tomorrow.

The blood moon overhead had fully formed, illuminating the corpse-strewn forest road, heralding the next sword and sword shadow.

Inside Gwangju Castle.

In just two days, all the poisoned people in the city have taken the antidote and slowly improved, and the water source has been purified, but although the poison has been detoxified, few people in the military camp can go into battle to defend against the enemy in a short time.

Although the poison is solved, the predicament has not diminished at all.

"King Jin, general, Dong Wen is here."

"Winter Min.. Yu'er! Jiang Ci almost bounced up from the chair, but when he walked out of the door, he saw Dong Wen and Xu Tiandong, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly froze.

Cheng Yu lowered his head and sighed: "The second lady did not go along. ”

"How is that possible?" Jiang Ci rushed to Dong Wen, "Dong Wen, where is the princess?" ”

Dong Wen hung his head and said with a heart of death: "Subordinate... The subordinate line, who was besieged and ran apart, only found it. Only Dr. Xu was found, but no... I didn't find the princess and the sixth highness, and my subordinates thought... thought that the princess and the sixth highness had entered the city. ”

"My subordinates are incompetent, please give my subordinates a death." Winter Coin knelt down and kowtowed, and fell to the ground blaming himself.

When Jiang Ci heard this, his eyes were dark for a moment, and he staggered around and almost fell, but was supported by Su Xian behind him.

"Is there one day left for Yu'er to agree with you?" Su Xian's heart was full of worry and struggle, he knew that he couldn't mess up at this critical moment, even if Su Yu couldn't come as promised tomorrow, he couldn't send someone to find it, and now every soldier in Gwangju City had to fight to defend the pass.

"I can't wait for a day..."Jiang Ci clenched his fists and regretted it.

"What do you mean you can't wait for a day?"

"Yu'er is riding my horse, the unique Dawan good horse, which travels 1,200 miles a day, and it is absolutely impossible to be slower than Dong Wen."

Jiang Ci covered his chest, his heart aching unbearably: "Su Yu... You're lying to me again.."
