Chapter 10 Saving Lives and Trading
After all, Wu Weizhong is the uncle of his own family, and this blow is bigger for Wu Lu than the blow of General Luo Shen's serious injury.
Wu Lu hurriedly informed Yang Peng, and then followed the southern soldiers who came to report the news and rushed towards the northern city.
At this time, the city of Pyongyang was already under martial law, and the Ming soldiers of the brigade occupied the main intersection and searched for the Japanese soldiers who had slipped through the net. There are many corpses lying in the streets and alleys that have not had time to be cleaned up, including Japanese people, North Koreans, and Ming soldiers who were attacked and killed by Japanese birds.
Wu Lu and a few people finally rushed to Beicheng, and hurriedly walked into a North Korean house requisitioned by the Ming army, because Wu Lu was Wu Weizhong's nephew, but was not stopped by the soldiers guarding the door, and directly entered the bedroom where Wu Weizhong was seriously injured.
The military doctor had already taken out the lead from Wu Weizhong's left rib, but because of the injury to the lung lobe, the injury was not optimistic, and the military doctor could only shake his head, saying that there was little hope of surviving Wu Weizhong's injury.
After asking about Wu Weizhong's injury, Wu Lu immediately turned red, he pushed away all the soldiers and ran to Wu Weizhong's sickbed, held Wu Weizhong's hand that was already slightly cold, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Wu Weizhong woke up quietly, looked at Wu Lu in front of the sickbed, and then looked at the Qi family soldiers around him with red eyes, and gasped for a while before asking softly: "Can Pyongyang City be taken?"
"Pyongyang City has been taken!" Wu Lu did not mention that at this time, there were still more than 10,000 Japanese people in Pyongyang City who were stubbornly resisting, and they just wanted Wu Wei to be loyal but worried.
"That's good... That's good..."Wu Weizhong gasped for breath after speaking, not only that, but the bloody saliva at the corner of his mouth also flowed out, and Wu Lu hurriedly took a cloth towel to wipe it.
Wu Weizhong struggled to grab Wu Lu's hand and sighed: "It seems that I, Wu Weizhong, am going to follow Qi Shaobao this time, it's just hateful!
Wu Weizhong gritted his teeth and said the last few words, and he fainted again after being exhausted.
"Uncle, uncle!" Wu Lu anxiously shouted several times, but he couldn't wake up Wu Weizhong, afraid that he would pass out completely, so he hurriedly shouted for the military doctor to come for treatment.
And he himself rushed out of the house again, running around in the chaotic streets, and when he saw a pharmacy, he rushed in and rummaged around. He wanted to save the lives of his uncle and Luo Shenjiang, and it was said that the ginseng of Changbai Mountain could save the lives of dying people, so he looked for them with a hope of one in ten thousand. But the entire Pyongyang pharmacy has long been looted by the Japanese soldiers, not to mention ginseng, even ordinary herbs are missing, only empty medicine cabinets and shops full of broken chairs and stools.
Wu Lu walked out of the pharmacy in despair, and at this time the street was already under martial law, and two teams of Ming soldiers guarded both sides of the street, vigilantly staring at any corner where there might be an ambush.
Frustrated, Wu Lu was pushed to the side of the road by the Ming soldiers who were under martial law, and sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the rows of marching Ming soldiers walking in front of him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he saw Admiral Li Rusong riding a horse under the escort of his own soldiers, and talking closely with another black-robed man who was also riding a horse.
The black-robed man Wu Lu recognized that it was Pei Lingyun, the "demon girl" who had revealed her magic in front of her before.
Li Rusong rode his horse and said to the black-robed woman: "Yesterday, the North Korean named Li Youji came to me with a token, saying that you ordered him to take his family to Changbai Mountain to find a goddess surnamed Hu, and he also needed to be escorted by twenty warriors of the Haixi Jurchens. I've arranged for him to be on his way, and I should be on my way by now. ”
Pei Lingyun smiled faintly, and she said softly with a black veil: "Thank you, Admiral Li, since Pyongyang City has been captured, and Archmage Najiawei has also confirmed that he will not come to North Korea to stir up trouble again, it's time to retreat." ”
Li Rusong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said in surprise: "What's the matter?
Pei Lingyun had already noticed Wu Lu with a depressed face on the side of the road at this time, and she said indifferently: "Please forgive me for having important things to do, and I can't go south with the admiral anymore." However, I have already written down the words of the Admiral a few days ago, and I need to stay in Liaodong for some time next, and if the Haixi Jurchens need my help, it is still okay to clean up some mortals. ”
Li Rusong was very happy when he heard this, in this battle of Korea, what he was most afraid of was not the Japanese soldiers, but the Jianzhou Jurchens behind him took advantage of the Japanese people to take advantage of the chaos to become bigger, if this time the shaman Pei Lingyun was willing to take action, even if it was just to take the life of the Jianzhou Jurchen, who was already a big commander, then he could sit back and relax.
Li Rusong, who was in a good mood, was about to continue his friendship with Pei Lingyunpan, when he noticed that the war horse under his crotch suddenly moved, and he saw a small soldier of the Ming army wearing a mandarin duck jacket on the street crashed headlong into the martial law line and fell in front of Li Rusong to block the way.
The soldiers were shocked, thinking that the Japanese were disguised as Ming soldiers to assassinate Admiral Li, and they drew their swords and rushed forward to crush Wu Lu to the ground.
"Admiral Mingcha, the villain is a personal soldier under the command of General Luo Shangzhi Luo Shen, and now General Luo Shen and Wu Guerrilla are seriously injured, and I also ask Admiral Li to be merciful and allow the black-robed master next to Admiral Li to go to the rescue and save the life of General Luo Shen Wu Guerrilla!" Wu Lu still roared and shouted after being restrained.
"What is this?" Li Rusong asked with some confusion as he pointed at Wu Lu and asked Pei Lingyun.
Pei Lingyun, as the initiator, naturally knew it. She whispered to Li Rusong: "This son is useful to me." ”
Li Rusong thought crookedly for a while, thinking that Pei Lingyun was going to extract mortal souls and even flesh and blood, he glanced at Wu Lu with pity, didn't say much, and continued to ride away slowly.
Several strongholds of the Japanese army in Pyongyang have not yet been completely angulated, and he still needs to run everywhere, do a good job of commanding, dispatching, arranging troops, and making sure to completely annihilate the remnants of the enemy. This kind of thing has not yet reached the point where he needs to ask in person, and Luo Shangzhi and Wu Weizhong are both generals of the Southern Army, and they are not in the same system as the Liaodong Army, and this pawn is also dizzy and actually asked him Li Rusong for help.
Seeing that Li Rusong left regardless of it, Wu Lu was about to continue to shout for help, but saw the black-robed woman who was originally riding with Li Rusong dismounted, and immediately turned her eyes for help to Pei Lingyun.
"Master, a few days ago, the villain was short-sighted, disobedient to the master, the master has great powers, must have the ability to come back to life, and please save Luo Shen and the general Wu guerrilla regardless of the previous suspicions, from now on the villain's life is the master, only the master is the first!" Wu Lu had no care at this time, and he didn't care about his face at all.
"Okay, don't be a master, where is the arrogance of the past few days?" Pei Lingyun felt more and more that this pawn was very interesting, she asked the soldier to let go of Wu Lu, and then led him out of the Ming army. And that Shibata Mori bent over and followed behind the two with a submissive face.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Pei Lingyun asked knowingly.
Wu Lu told Luo Shangzhi and Wu Weizhong about their serious injuries and dying.
Pei Lingyun pretended to think for a moment and then said, "I don't have the ability to bring the dead back to life, but if there is still a breath left, I am really sure that I can heal the injuries of these two people." ”
Wu Lu was overjoyed when he heard this, and once again knelt on the ground regardless of the man's dignity, begging Pei Lingyun to go to the rescue quickly.
"It's okay to save the two of them, but the ugly words have to be said in front, before I wanted to give you the opportunity to attain immortality, you didn't want to, now beg me, then you can only be my doorman, from now on you have to recognize me as the master, listen to my drive, can you think about it?" Pei Lingyun said emotionlessly.
When Wu Lu heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you can save Wu Guerrilla Luo Shen General, the kid's life will be a master, and he will never slack off before and after the saddle from now on!"
"Okay!" Pei Lingyun succeeded in his goal, and he had no intention of teasing Wu Lu. She took out a porcelain bottle from the storage bag, poured out two red pills and said: "This is the elixir for monks to heal wounds, although mortals can't bring back the dead after eating it, as long as there is a breath, they can always save their lives." You take it to save people, and when this is over, I will go to you, and don't go back on your word when the time comes, otherwise I don't mind letting you taste the fate of wanting to live and not wanting to die. ”
Wu Lu cautiously took the pill, hurriedly thanked him, and hurriedly ran to Wu Weizhong's house.
Shibata Sen stared at Wu Lu with some jealousy, and said unwillingly: "Why does the Immortal treat this insignificant pawn so kindly, it is that he is also the owner of the Heavenly Spirit Root." ”
Pei Lingyun turned a deaf ear to Shibata Sen's words, and just said to himself leisurely: "I've been in the cultivation realm for a long time, and I have rarely seen such a simple-minded person, and I don't know if he will be so simple-minded when he really steps into the cultivation realm, and he has experienced a lot of deceitful things, will he still be so simple-minded? Willing to be a slave for the lives of others, this is stupid in the cultivation realm, and it can't be more stupid!"
Hearing Pei Lingyun's words, Shibata Mori's eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was paying attention to.
With a "bang", Wu Lu hurriedly slammed the door open, only to see the soldiers kneeling in front of Wu Weizhong's couch and feeling annoyed, eager to exchange their lives for Wu Guerrilla's life.
At this time, Wu Weizhong was already angry, and I was afraid that he would die if he couldn't wait for a stick of incense. The military doctor from Tai Hospital sighed while calling for Wu Weizhong's pulse, and obviously had given up on treating Wu Weizhong.
Wu Lu pushed everyone away, walked to Wu Weizhong's couch, carefully took out the pill from his arms, put it into Wu Weizhong's mouth, and then shouted: "Water, bring the water quickly!"
The military doctor was a little dissatisfied and said: "Wu Guerrilla has been seriously injured and died, even if the Great Luo Immortal is here, he is lacking in skills, why should you bother with this little brother!"
Wu Lu didn't pay attention to the military doctor at all, he snatched the water bladder handed over by his own soldiers, and carefully fed Wu Weizhong the pill.
After a while, I saw that Wu Weizhong's originally pale face slowly began to be rosy, and his breath was much calmer.
The military doctor was shocked, and hurriedly called his pulse again, Wu Weizhong's pulse became stronger and stronger, and in less than half a pillar of incense, there were signs of recovery.
The military doctor was very excited and grabbed Wu Lu's hand and shouted loudly: "What kind of elixir did you just give Wu Guerrilla, how could it be possible to stabilize the injury in such a short time?"
Seeing that Wu Weizhong's injuries began to improve, Wu Lu's heart finally settled down. It seems that what the demon girl named Pei Lingyun said is true, this elixir can really save her life with only one breath.
He pushed away the hand of the military doctor, leaving the ecstatic soldiers to turn around and run towards Luo Shangzhi, and General Luo Shen was dying, hoping to come for treatment.
When Luo Shangzhi had only one breath left, Wu Lu hurriedly arrived, ignored Yang Peng and others, and gave Luo Shangzhi medicine.
Soon Luo Shangzhi's injuries began to improve, and the relatives and soldiers asked in disbelief where Wu Lu got the life-saving medicine.
And Wu Lu turned a deaf ear, Wu Weizhong Luo Shangzhi's life was saved, but his future was completely ruined.
Willing to fall into slavery to a demon girl, he can no longer earn military merits, and he can no longer glorify his ancestors.
He avoided the crowd and walked alone in the streets. Passing by a bookstore and looking at the papers scattered on the ground, he hesitated for a moment, but finally walked in.
found the inkstone and pen, sharpened the ink, began to write and leave a letter, first wrote a letter to Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi, briefly said that he had obtained two life-saving pills, but in order to avoid the two of them from going to Li Rusong's self-begging for hardship, he only said that the master he met came and went without a trace, and he didn't know where he came from, and promised to give medicine to save people, but the premise was to accept him as an apprentice. Wu Lu didn't say that he was willing to be a slave, for fear that Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi would feel guilty because of this.
After writing a letter to Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi, he wrote a letter to his mother, his words were sincere, and he burst into tears.
I rummaged through a few envelopes, sealed them, wrote the recipient, and walked out of the bookstore again.
At this time, it was already sunset, but many places in Pyongyang were on fire, and it turned out that the Ming army began to attack the Japanese army who were still resisting. For example, the peony platform in the north city and the urn city were burned in all directions and there was nowhere to hide, the remnants of the Japanese soldiers who were originally stubborn and stubborn in the fire called the sky should not be, called the earth and the earth was not spiritual, hundreds of Japanese soldiers crowded in the narrow urn city, in order to avoid the billowing smoke, but the sparks continued to explode into the urn city, and soon ignited the flammable materials, the fire in the urn city ignited, the Japanese soldiers were stacked, people were crowded, the smoke was dense, there was nowhere to escape, and the smell of burnt meat had wafted out of the air...
The Ming army cheered everywhere and won, but Wu Lu turned a deaf ear, he squeezed out of the crowd, and saw Yang Peng, who was also Luo Shangzhi's personal soldier, coming towards him, and hurriedly calmed down his mood and did not let Yang Peng see the clues.
"Hahaha! Or Wu Xiaoge has great powers, I don't know where to get the elixir, just this moment of kung fu General Luo Shen actually woke up, can still speak, Wu Xiao Brother quickly followed me to meet General Luo! This time you saved the life of General Luo, that is equivalent to saving the life of my comrade! I Yang Peng wrote down this kindness!" Yang Peng grinned, grabbed Wu Lu's hand, and pulled Wu Lu to rush to General Luo.
Before Wu Lu could answer, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the black-robed man was already standing in the shadow at the entrance of the alley, staring at him meaningfully.
Wu Lu smiled sadly, he broke away from Yang Peng's big hand, and handed the three letters to Yang Peng in the other party's astonishment: "Brother Yang, I won't go, please wait for Luo Shen's injuries to be good, and give these letters to Luo Shen." I still have important things to do, so I won't go back with you. ”
Yang Peng took the letter, looked at the back of the departing Wu Lu and shouted: "Wu silly boy, don't you really go back with me to see General Luo? You must know that General Luo woke up and understood the truth, the first thing he wanted to see was you, don't you want such a good opportunity to invite merit?"
Wu Lu walked into the dark place at the entrance of the alley where Pei Lingyun was without looking back, looked at the black-robed man in front of him, and said with a gloomy expression: "My affairs have been taken care of, and from now on, this life will be at the disposal of the masters." ”
Pei Lingyun looked at Wu Lu with a sad face in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little angry, there has never been a person in the cultivation world who has worked so hard to send immortals to people, which immortal seeker is not bothering to ask for guidance from the master, this Wu Lu is still wronged.
She looked at the young man in front of her and said lightly: "You don't need to be nostalgic for this mortal world, okay, I'll take you to a high place to have a look, and let you see the methods of cultivators." ”
After Pei Lingyun finished speaking, Wu Lu only felt that his body was light, and the sky spun in an instant, and the whole person was actually grabbed by Pei Lingyun, and then the blue light flashed in front of him, and as Pei Lingyun rose to the sky, it turned into a streamer and rushed straight out of the clouds.
Yang Peng was not worried about Wu Lu, he just walked to the alley and saw a flash of blue light, and then he was blown by the sudden wind and couldn't open his eyes, and when the wind subsided, he saw that Wu Lu was no longer visible in the alley. Yang Peng looked up thoughtfully, only to see a light blue streamer flashing in the air.
Since then, a pawn named Wu Lu has disappeared inexplicably.
Even after Wu Lu's uncle Wu Weizhong and Luo Shangzhi searched hard, they were never found.
And this matter has also been added by Yang Peng to become a strange thing, and it has been circulated in the army for many years.
But in the end, the name Wu Lu, like the thousands of Ming soldiers who died on the Korean battlefield, was finally forgotten by the world.
