Chapter 2 Going and returning to save the daughter-in-law
Zhang Peng was locked up in the courtyard again, and Xu Wanyi went to the camp to discuss countermeasures.
The sound of drums and horns shook the sky, and there was a tense atmosphere in the county lord's mansion, and the sonorous sound of swords and armor and the galloping of chariots and horses were constantly heard outside the courtyard.
Zhang Peng knew that this was the only remaining living force for Xu Wanyi in the gathering city.
"This woman doesn't plan to really live and die with the city, does she?" Zhang Peng was worried, "You broke the jar, so what should I do?" The Chaktuo tribe is a barbarian tribe in the Western Regions, and if the city is broken, it will be slaughtered, and my life is tied to her trouser belt. β
Or do you want to do it again?
Zhang Peng suddenly thought of something, he is not the same Zhang Peng now, his water nature is so good, coupled with the super physical strength after the crossing, swimming south through the remnant of the sun to escape is no longer an empty talk!
Yes, his life is important, he can't care so much, he immediately returned to the bedroom, with the memory of his predecessor, he opened the dark compartment under the bed, and sure enough, there were three intact pig urine bubbles hidden inside!
The stupid one in the previous body, the last time I planned to escape, I was in a hurry, and I even forgot to take this thing!
He quickly gathered his equipment, the pig urine bubble was full of air, and he took advantage of the westward setting of the sun to slip away!
After observing the back door for a long time, and seeing that there was no one around, he felt out of the back door.
"Hebo bless, let me successfully escape this time," Zhang Peng muttered.
But as soon as he closed the door, and when he turned around, a figure appeared in front of him, not very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beard just growing on his face, dressed in obviously ill-fitting leather armor, holding an iron sword, and carrying a wooden shield wrapped in iron.
This person Zhang Peng knows, is the little scholar sent to Zhang Peng by the county lord's mansion, named Gao Gao, who has been following Zhang Peng for two years, and has always been the most loyal person to Zhang Peng, but he is also a person from the county lord's mansion in the end.
Zhang Peng's face turned pale with fright, thinking that this was terrible, and he was found again, so he had to put the pig urine bubble behind his back, and smiled awkwardly: "Gundam, haha, why are you here." β
"Uncle, are you leaving?" Gundam's mood is obviously not very high.
"Where, I'm just coming out to breathe," Zhang Peng quibbled.
"Sure enough, the county lord said it was right," Gundam sighed.
Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, silently prepared for battle, a dagger flashed behind his back, he didn't want to commit murder, but now his life and death are unpredictable, if Gundam insists on stopping him, he has to fight.
"The county lord said that if you really want to go, she won't stop you," Gundam sighed as he said, he lowered his shield and took out the extra things he was carrying behind his back, "She wants me to pass them on to you." β
As he spoke, in Zhang Peng's surprised gaze, Gundam took out a pair of duck webbed shoes and a set of anchor crossbows.
"The county lord also told me that this time she was not sure about defending the city, so she could only go out of the city to fight for a chance of survival, as for the Xu family's debt to your Zhang family, I am afraid that she will not be able to pay it back, so she can only give you a way to live," After speaking, Gundam handed over the duck flipper shoes and anchor crossbow to Zhang Peng, picked up the shield and was about to leave.
"Hey, Gundam, let's have a master-servant, you can escape with me," Zhang Peng felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, seeing that he was about to go to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, but he was a big man who wanted to escape, and he was ashamed for a while.
"No, although Gundam is small, it still has the responsibility of defending the land for Great Xia!" Gundam didn't agree, and then saluted Zhang Peng respectfully, "After my uncle leaves, be careful all the way, Gundam can't serve you anymore." β
Afterwards, Zhang Peng saw the thin figure of Gundam wearing large leather armor and carrying a heavy shield, walking farther and farther in the corridor outside the courtyard until it disappeared.
"Hehe, a child with a big fart is going to learn to be a hero?" Zhang Peng's face turned red, so he had to scold viciously for two sentences to cheer himself up, and by the way, he eliminated most of his shame.
Without any further hesitation, taking the escape tools given by Xu Wanyi, Zhang Peng quickly followed the route that his predecessor had already studied thoroughly, went into the water, and swam across.
Half an hour later, Zhang Peng climbed to the other side of the Remnant Yang River, and at this moment it was already the west building of the moon.
Looking back, the entire Remnant Yang Pass was lit up by thousands of torches, and the cheers of the soldiers and civilians in the pass resounded in the night sky.
The city gate was opened, and a black-robed figure of Xuanjia took the lead, leading a stream of black iron horses pouring out of the gate like a torrent.
"She's still going to attack at night," Zhang Peng watched the shadow disappear into the night from afar, a sense of loss rose in his heart, and then resolutely trekked towards the south.
This is the end of my life as a son-in-law, and I am away from that tigress again, haha, this is something to celebrate...... But why can't I be happy......
The next day, at dawn, the gate of the Remnant Yang Pass was opened again, and less than three hundred of the original 1,000 elite horsemen had returned.
The county lord of Luanming was injured and returned, the night attack plan failed, and the people in the remnant Yang Pass were full of mourning.
But the county lord of Luanming still took the wounded and armored to climb the remnant sun pass, boosted morale, and swore to live and die with the people in the pass, but just when all the soldiers used their lives and the people of the whole pass were preparing for battle, the county lord fainted on the city wall.
The military doctor found that the county lord's left arm was injured by a highly toxic weapon, shook his head and sighed, only saying that there was nothing he could do, and the county lord's life was on the line.
Hearing this, the whole Guan fell into despair again!
Gundam meticulously commanded Minzhuang to prepare the hot wood oil, his eyes were red, obviously he had just shed tears, he knew that without the command of the county lord, the remnant Yang Pass would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Chaktuo army, but he still stuck to his post.
"Quick, quick! When you are ready, take the city wall, and you would rather die than bite off a piece of Chaktuo's meat, killing one is enough, and killing two will make money! β
"Damn, fight with Hu Ren!"
"Yes, whoever takes a step back is raised by a son of a bitch!"
In the pass, under the heavy atmosphere of slaughter, it has gradually become a trend of mourning soldiers! At this moment, all the cowardly people in the pass were also aroused to blood, and under the threat of breaking the pass and slaughtering the city, although they did not dare to step on the city wall to kill the enemy, they also sacrificed the gold and silver treasures of their families to boost the morale of the army and the people.
Gundam gritted his teeth, heard the bloody voices of the soldiers and civilians, and clenched the sword in his hand.
At this moment, a big white but powerful hand was on his shoulder, and he subconsciously turned around, only to see a figure that surprised him.
"Uncle? You didn't go? Gundam looked at Zhang Peng, who was wearing a green robe, in surprise, and his face was surprised and happy.
"Well, even women have gone to the battlefield, my eldest man can't even be inferior to his own daughter-in-law," Zhang Peng sighed and patted the Zhang family's ancestral medicine box.
"But what are you going to do when you come back?" Gundam's face turned very depressed again.
"Take me to see the county lord, bring the medicine box, try your best to save her, if I can save her, I have a plan, or I can retreat from the enemy," Zhang Peng smiled slightly, wanting to use a smile to cover up the panic in his heart.
"A plan to retreat from the enemy? You? Gao Fen looked Zhang Peng up and down suspiciously.
Zhang Peng didn't expect that the first attempt to pretend to be X was questioned by a little scholar, and he once again refreshed his cognition of the degree of waste wood in his predecessor, but at this time, he had to send it when he was ready to fly, how could he show any weakness!
As a result, Gundam's head was scraped in the ear: "Uncle, can I explain my clever plan to you?" Lead the way! β
Gundam touched the beaten head, and although he still had doubts, he still took Zhang Peng back to the military camp.
Xu Wanyi's big tent of the Chinese army, the sword-wielding maids were still sobbing, and no one had time to pay attention to the "belated" aunt-in-law at the moment.
Zhang Peng looked at Xu Wanyi, who had unloaded her armor and was lying on the couch with a sick face, and said silently in his heart: If I can save you this time, I will repay you for letting me live.
After some examination, it was found that Xu Wanyi's limbs were cold, sweating profusely, her face was pale, her eyelids drooped, her abdomen was distended, her body was swollen and bruised in many places, and her heart rhythm was seriously abnormal.
There were obvious signs of ulceration and abscess at the wound on her left arm, and after questioning the maid, she learned that Xu Wanyi had vomited many times.
Basically, it is certain that it is snake venom, and it is likely to be a combination of multiple snake venom.
At this time, Zhang Peng had to admire Xu Wanyi's deep internal cultivation, otherwise ordinary people would not have been able to hold on for such a long time, not to mention that she had previously climbed the city wall.
"What do you look like crying, I'm going to save the county lord now, you all cheer me up and listen to my arrangement!" Zhang Peng turned around and ordered in his most stern tone.
The four sword-wielding maids were really shocked by Zhang Peng's momentum, and they all stopped crying, but they just looked at each other and didn't trust Zhang Peng.
"Why are you still stunned?" Zhang Peng glanced at the maids present with a sharp gaze, "Don't you want to delay the county lord's treatment?" β
"The Zhang family used to be a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and my uncle might really have some secret techniques for healing," one of the sword-wielding maids was obviously of a higher rank, and she was the first to speak, "Uncle, if you can save the county lord back, Jian Pingdan will be sent by my uncle!" β
The maids nodded slightly, and reluctantly agreed to let Zhang Peng give it a try.
Zhang Peng is speechless, I need your consent to save my daughter-in-law? See you soon! But he was speechless, but he still had to save people, so he sat down in the front of the desk in the account and began to write and draw, and began to arrange the task while writing.
"I remember that there are masters in the army who set traps, Jianping, you go and ask them to come over with a plate of tendon lines!"
"You, find the general in the army to make me a needle, pliers and knife of this style out of fine iron, and then go to the head of the dining room in the county lord's mansion to ask for a jar of the strongest wine!"
"Quickly find the purple ground flower and andrographis, pound them into minced pieces and send them to me!"
"You, hold the prescription, grab the medicine quickly, I will personally decoction the five tiger rhino horns to attack the poison!"
After the crossing, he blended with the memories of his predecessor, and naturally inherited the ancestral medical skills of his predecessor, and the systematic precision of Western medicine and the rigor of syndrome differentiation of Chinese medicine have been integrated in his mind.
Next, he took out the golden needle in the medicine box and administered the needle to Xu Wanyi, blocking the toxin from continuing to spread.
The sword attendant who grabbed the medicine came back first, and under Zhang Peng's command, he set up the medicine pot and boiled it.
The sword attendant who had gone out to pick fresh herbs after a stick of incense came back, and Zhang Peng ordered her to mash the herbs into medicinal puree.
After two incense sticks, Jian Ping and the sword attendant who went to build surgical instruments came back together, and then it was Zhang Peng's performance time.
First, Xu Wanyi was given debridement, disinfection and suturing of the wound and external application of herbs, and finally the decoction was divided into three times for Xu Wanyi to take internally, and she was busy until near noon.
Xu Wanyi was like a dream, as if she had dreamed of Zhang Peng's coward charging on a war horse on the battlefield, she woke up leisurely with a ridiculous mood, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the figure in the dream, standing in her Chinese army tent.
"Are you awake?" Zhang Peng turned sideways to Xu Wanyi at forty-five degrees, and his handsome face met a ray of morning light shining from the top of the big tent, which was the perfect angle he had specially found.
"Ahem, why are you here?" Xu Wanyi felt that her internal strength had not yet recovered, but the snake venom in her body had disappeared, but the wound on her left arm was still a little painful.
"I'll save you," Zhang Peng still kept his posture unchanged.
"Okay, thank you later," Xu Wanyi didn't know how to talk to Zhang Peng, so she simply stopped looking at him, but shouted outside the tent, "Jianping, wear armor for me, I want to go to the customs to supervise the battle!" β
She lifted the quilt and was about to get up, but she stumbled and didn't stand firm, but fortunately, Zhang Peng's eyes were quick and he leaned over to support her.
"You don't have to wear armor," Zhang Peng said with a confident smile, "If you believe me, I will help you climb the customs and retreat from the enemy, I have already thought of it." β
Xu Wanyi's eyes widened, and she looked at Zhang Peng suspiciously: "A plan to retreat from the enemy?" You? β
Zhang Peng's smile froze...... What do you mean? It's that expression again......
Chakto's army marched unhurriedly, and after the successful victory of the counter-attack last night, the eldest prince Zayan did not order a hasty march.
"Big brother, why don't you take advantage of the victory? On the contrary, it's this slow, isn't it good to capture the remnant sun pass in one go? The fourth prince, Mole, rode up to Zayan and asked puzzledly.
Za Yan stroked his beard like a wise man in the Central Plains: "As you said, we can indeed take the Remnant Yang Pass in one go, but the price is too great. β
"At what cost? They have all been defeated by us, and the woman in Luan Ming has also been poisoned, and the people in the pass must be panicked and have no intention of defending the city" Moeller insisted on his opinion.
"Oh? Is there a possibility that the whole city will become mourning soldiers and swear to live and die with the remnant sun pass? Zayan smiled and looked at his younger brother, who was a fellow mother, and didn't say anything thoroughly, but just mentioned it.
After hearing this, Moeller was obviously stunned, and then nodded thoughtfully: "What the eldest brother said is that the soldiers and civilians of Remnant Yang Pass have a century-old feud with us, and the possibility of mourning soldiers in the whole city is indeed greater." β
"So, I marched slowly and gathered around slowly, just to wait for their mournful anger to be discharged, so that they would be worried, and when the army's morale is unstable, we can naturally overcome it smoothly!" Zayan explained with a smile.
Just when Moeller suddenly realized that he was about to give his eldest brother a rainbow fart, the former army scout came to report quickly, and his tone was a little flustered.
"The eldest prince, the fourth prince! There's something weird ahead of the remnant sun! Please come forward and decide for yourself! β
"Oh? Eccentric? Could it be that they brought in reinforcements to help? The eldest prince's face instantly became solemn.
The scout of the former army looked embarrassed, but he couldn't explain the scene he saw, so he had to tell the truth: "Back to the eldest prince, there are no reinforcements in Remnantyang Pass!" β
"There are no reinforcements, so why are you panicking?" Moeller rebuked.
"Back to the fourth prince, the city gate of the remnant sun pass in front is wide open, there are no defenders under the closed pass, not even the handsome banner, only two old pawns under the city gate are sweeping the fallen leaves, there is a man in a green shirt and a Confucian robe playing the piano on the gate, the county lord of Luanming is cooking wine on the side, and there is a young scholar roasting chicken wings on the side, so comfortable!"
The eldest prince Zayan suddenly frowned and fell into deep thought, and he didn't react when he accidentally pulled off one of his beards.
"What? Are you sure you read that right, the old man sweeps the floor? Luan Ming accompanied the Confucian scholar to drink on the qin? And a book boy grilling chicken wings? Do you know the consequences of misreporting military intelligence? "Moller's mind was confused, he had never seen anything like this in all his years of fighting.
"Back to the fourth prince, what his subordinates said is true, it's just... It's justβ" The scout broke out in a cold sweat.
"Just what?" Moller roared.
"Grilled chicken wings are my guess, or duck wings or goose wings!" The scout swallowed.
Mohler: ???
Zayan: ???
