Chapter 66: The Eve of the Siege

Because they were worried that Song Xiaohou would send chasing soldiers, Ye Feng and the others chose to take a long detour, and by the time they returned to Lanzhou City, it was already dusk.

Several of the children of Momen carried the stretcher carrying Lord Zhou to the door of the inn with great difficulty, and then quietly retreated, leaving only Mo Qizhong, the giant of the Mo family, to follow them into the inn.

As soon as he walked into the inn, Ye Feng saw a familiar figure that he hadn't seen for a long time, Boss Wu!

This boss Wu, who is righteous and squanders money and takes care of everyone's diet and daily life all the way, has been missing since he arrived in Lanzhou City because he had to go to the surrounding area to deliver goods. Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment as today's heavy siege, he happened to return to Lanzhou City.

Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is really not a good thing for Boss Wu.

When the people in the inn saw Ye Feng and them coming in, and saw Lord Zhou who was dying on the stretcher, they all surrounded him with concern, and kept asking questions.

From their words, Ye Feng learned that Tang Da had returned from sending a letter, but his righteous brother Zhang Zhi still had no news.

Ye Feng looked at it, his righteous brother Xie Zhenliang, and Miss Cheng and Xiao Sanji were all in the inn, but they didn't see Tang Da and Tang Rou, thinking that the two of them should still be guarding Fu Shuangling in the Qinglong Dart Bureau.

He told everyone about what happened before, but he omitted the part where Mo Qizhong, the giant of the Mo family, appeared, because he had promised the seventh master that he would never reveal the identity of his Mo family giant, so he just deduced that Mo Qizhong was one of his distant uncles.

In fact, Mo Qizhong is his master's brother and his uncle, so he didn't feel anything awkward when he changed his name to "Seventh Uncle".

Hearing that he and Lord Zhou had drunk the tea poisoned by Song Xiaohouye, and seeing Lord Zhou lying on the ground, Xie Zhenliang couldn't help but be horrified, jumped up and grabbed Ye Feng's shoulders and looked at them repeatedly, and kept asking, "Are you okay?"

Ye Feng smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand, why did Master Zhou and I both drink the same poisonous tea, why did I have nothing at all?"

Cheng Nianzhen walked over at this time, grabbed his wrist, carefully checked his pulse, and snorted coldly after a moment: "The poison of the golden toad in your body is the first of the strange poisons in the world, not only extremely difficult to understand, but also extremely xenophobic. With it, no matter what poison is on you, there is nothing you can do. ”

Xie Zhenliang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then isn't he invincible to all poisons now?"

Cheng Nianzhen said coldly: "How can there be such a good thing? The poison of the golden toad has not been able to be lifted in his body, even if he is barely suppressed by me, after a long time, the toxin will also erode the nerves of the viscera, and even if he does not die, he will be paralyzed and mentally disordered." ”

After saying that, she leaned over to check on Master Zhou's situation again.

In a word, before Ye Feng and Xie Zhenliang's faces could be filled with joy, they were full of sadness again. Even Miss Cheng is helpless against the poison, I really don't know when it will be lifted?

At this time, Mo Qizhong, who was standing behind Ye Feng, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and silently thought in his heart, the poison of the golden toad?

After a while, Cheng Nianzhen straightened his waist, took a long breath and said, "The poison in Lord Zhou is very violent, but fortunately, I took the anti-poison pill first, and I have been using my strength to protect my heart, so I can survive until now." ”

Ye Feng asked with concern, "Is he okay?"

Cheng Nianzhen smiled faintly: "I really don't have the ability to poison the golden toad, but with a small poison like this, this girl will be safe after a few pairs of medicinal soups, and he will be safe after two days of recuperation." ”

Ye Feng had been worried in his heart when he heard Tang Yu say that they were poisoned by the Five Poison Sect of Miao Jiang, but now after listening to Cheng Nianzhen's words, he couldn't help but feel greatly relieved

sighed, and hurriedly beckoned the inn guy to carry Lord Zhou to the guest room for placement.

Here, Cheng Nianzhen also hurriedly wrote the prescription and arranged for the guy to go to grab the medicine.

Tang Yu was worried about the situation on Tang Da's side, so he also went out to the Qinglong Dart Bureau, and only Mo Qizhong and the unlucky Boss Wu who happened to return to Lanzhou City at this time were left in the lobby of the inn.

Mo Qizhong seemed to be very interested in this black boss, and kept staring at him with a smile and a strange amusement.

Boss Wu was a little hairy by him, but when he heard that this old man was Ye Feng's "seventh uncle", he was not easy to attack, so he could only smile like a businessman on his face, and he also looked back at Mo Qizhong with curiosity.

Mo Qizhong looked at him with a smile for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Boss Wu?"

Boss Wu bowed his head and responded: "It's down." ”

Mo Qizhong asked, "Is Boss Wu in the medicinal herb business?"

Boss Wu nodded and said, "Exactly, I occasionally stop by to take other goods." ”

Mo Qizhong said with a smile on his face: "Boss Wu's business seems to be doing very well, the profits must be very rich, I don't know how Brother Ling has been doing recently?"

Boss Wu's face instantly became bloodless, and he stammered in some panic: "You, what are you talking about? ”

Mo Qizhong laughed softly: "Ah, by the way, the old man is wrong, in fact, he is your cousin." ”

Boss Wu's whole body was shocked, and he lowered his head and didn't say anything, but his whole body felt trembling.

Mo Qizhong walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Come on, Boss Wu, we are trapped in this dangerous city, I think we need to talk privately." ”

After speaking, he walked straight to the door of the inn without looking back.

Boss Wu still kept his head down and didn't make a sound, but obediently followed him and walked out.

At this time, Ye Feng and Cheng Nian really walked out of the guest room and happened to see this scene.

Cheng Nianzhen asked a little strangely: "Your seventh uncle and Boss Wu hit it off at first sight, did they know each other before?"

Ye Feng looked at the backs of Mo Qizhong and Boss Wu who disappeared outside the inn, and shook his head suspiciously, for this Mo family giant, he still felt that there was a sense of mystery everywhere.

Cheng Nianzhen turned his head to look at Ye Feng, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "You are so dangerous this time, come back safely, aren't you going to go to the Qinglong Dart Bureau to report Sister Tang's safety?"

Tang Rou?Ye Feng's heart rippled again.

She should be with Tang Da in the Blue Dragon Dart Bureau now, right? I don't know what the two of them are doing now, but no matter what they are doing, as long as they are with Tang Da, she will be happy.

As long as she's happy, that's enough, isn't it?

Ye Feng shook his head while thinking about it: "I'm not going." ”

Cheng Nianzhen looked at him strangely and asked, "Why?"

Ye Feng didn't know how to answer for a while, did he want him to say that he didn't want to disturb Tang Rou and Tang Da's chance to be alone?

He could only casually make up a reason: "I don't worry about Lord Zhou, I'd better stay here and take a look." ”

Cheng Nianzhen didn't continue to ask, just smiled.

Ye Feng didn't know if she saw that she was lying, and she was so laughed by her smile that her heart was weak for a while.

Cheng Nianzhen looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky outside the window, and sighed softly: "What a beautiful full moon!"

Ye Feng also looked up, and sure enough, it was a round of jade plates as bright as a mirror!

Under the bright moon, accompanied by beautiful women, it was originally a very poetic moment, but why did he always think of Tang Rou in his heart at this moment?

Tang Rou may be enjoying this round of bright moon with Tang Da at the moment!

Thinking of this, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Just when he was upset, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the inn, Ye Feng looked up, and it turned out to be Su Wang Zhu and Lanzhou Supervisor Ma Jing who came in.

It seems that they hurried over after learning the news of Ye Feng's return to the city.

Ye Feng hurriedly greeted him, and Cheng Nianzhen also returned to the guest room at this time to take care of the unconscious Lord Zhou.

After taking a seat in the lobby, Ye Feng told what he had seen and heard in the military camp of Song Xiaohou today, and Su Wang Zhu and Ma Jing couldn't help but change color.

Ma Jing said with some disbelief: "I didn't expect that Song Xiaohou Ye was so mad that he actually poisoned you, it seems that he has already decided to leave him alive." ”

Su Wang Zhu lamented: "He has already sent someone to issue a war letter, claiming that if this king does not immediately go out of the city and surrender, tomorrow dawn will be the time to attack the city!"

Ma Jing's face changed, and he said: "Could it be that His Royal Highness is still thinking about going out of the city and surrendering at this moment? Even if the prince is willing to go out of the city at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to save the people of this city!"

Su Wang Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, since he Song Hu dared to poison Ye Gongzi and Zhou Zhifu, and also claimed that he would definitely take the lives of this king and Ma Jianjun, he must have made up his mind to kill everyone who knew the inside story of this matter." ”

"Once he let his tiger and wolf army enter the city, he will inevitably order the slaughter of the city and kill them all, I am afraid that at that time, the city of Lanzhou will be full of corpses, rivers of blood, and the people in the city will be devastated!"

His face gradually became resolute, and his eyes also shone with incomparable determination: "For today's plan, for the people of the city, in order not to let his conspiracy succeed, I can only fight to the death and fight to the death!"

Ma Jing also shouted: "Okay! Even if there are no reinforcements, even if we can't stop his conspiracy in the end, we will never stand still, no matter what, we must show the bearing of the imperial court!"

Just when everyone felt their blood boiling, a person suddenly shouted at the door: "There are no reinforcements, and we are still there!"

Everyone looked intently, but it was Mr. Arakitsuki who strode in.

After Mr. Aragon stepped forward to pay homage to King Su Zhu, he said loudly: "The grass people have contacted the people who practice martial arts in Lanzhou City, including the big and small sects in the city and the dart masters of the Qinglong Dart Bureau, and even the various guilds have selected strong and capable men, and there are always a thousand people in total. ”

He raised his head high and said impassionedly: "We will all go to the city wall tonight to participate in the defense, and obey the dispatch of your lords, even if this is just a drop in the bucket, we are outnumbered, we will definitely live and die with Lanzhou City!"

Everyone applauded, but at this time, Ye Feng was most concerned about the news of the other two ways.

He turned his head and asked Ma Jing softly: "What news did Tang Da bring back when he came back, and when will the reinforcements arrive?"

Ma Jing sighed: "In the past few years, His Royal Highness King Su's guards have been scattered in various granges and tuntians, and it will take some time to assemble them. It is not known when reinforcements will arrive, so we can only wait. ”

Ye Feng asked again: "Then is there any news from my brother-in-law Zhang Idiot?"

Ma Jing shook his head and did not speak.

Ye Feng sighed in his heart, he knew that with the defense in the city, it was far from enough to face Song Hu's 20,000 iron cavalry outside, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

I hope that the reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible, and I hope that Zhang Fatzi can successfully deliver the letter, and maybe the people in Lanzhou City can still have a glimmer of life.

Through the window, Ye Feng saw the bright moon hanging in the night sky again, I don't know if there will be a chance to see the moon in Lanzhou City at this time tomorrow?
