Chapter Seventy-Two: Saving Kublai Khan
The Mongolian camp outside the city of Ezhou is stretching and vast, and a towering lookout platform is particularly eye-catching, this is the tower built by Kublai Khan in order to attack the city of Ezhou and facilitate the command, and in peacetime, there are two or three guards standing guard above.
Looking into the distance from the Wangcheng platform, a large group of cavalry surging in the direction of Xijiao Mountain, the soldiers in charge of the guard saw that it was the bow and feather team sent out by General Zhang Rou in the morning, which was faintly visible, and there were several large carts of corpses pulled behind, so they knew that something was wrong, and immediately informed the leader of the camp guarding the camp gate, and the leader hurriedly opened the camp gate and led the guards stationed in the camp to come forward to respond.
The men of the bow feather team entered the camp with the help of the guards, and dozens of corpses were piled up on the four large carriages behind, mottled with blood, which stained the wheels of the carriage red, and the soldiers standing near the camp gate all watched the carriage pass by with horrified expressions.
Everyone knows that today and tomorrow are truce days, but why so many soldiers have been killed and wounded, they can't help but be secretly curious.
"Quick, quick. There was a carriage around the middle of the bow feather team, and from there came the anxious shouts of General Zhang Rou.
Two soldiers of the bow feather team, carrying Kublai Khan into a stretcher, were surrounded by a group of people and went to the tent of the Chinese army.
Zhang Hongyan hurriedly called someone to invite the three major accompanying military doctors in the army. The rest of the generals in the battalion all heard the news and went to the Chinese army camp.
The three military doctors hurriedly came to the camp, the chief military doctor Shuchili did not panic, but calmly and calmly checked Kublai Khan's injuries, Dong Wenbing and Zhang Rou and others all asked Jochili with concern: "How is the king's injury?"
Jochi rolled Kublai Khan's eyelids, and called the pulse again, pierced a few silver needles on Kublai Khan's body, his expression was slightly solemn, and he said to several generals: "The arrow in the king contains poison, and now it has been delayed for so long, the toxin has invaded the lungs, fortunately, the silver needle is used in time to stop the poison from spreading, and now the prince has fallen asleep, but now the poison must be forced out, otherwise, the king may have to worry about his life." ”
Dong Wenbing hurriedly said: "Then you hurry up and detoxify the king!"
Jochiri explained: "The poison in the king has invaded the lungs, I have used the method of gathering and attracting the toxins to collect, only by forcing out the poisonous blood first, can I prescribe medicine and detoxify, so as to ensure that it will not cause greater damage to the king's body, however, in order to force out the poisonous blood, it is necessary to penetrate the king's whole body with deep internal force." ”
After listening to Jochiri's explanation, General Zhang Rou immediately said: "In the current army, I have the deepest internal strength, let me try." After saying that, he helped Kublai Khan up, sat behind Kublai Khan, and immediately used his skills to heal Kublai Khan's wounds.
Zhang Rou concentrated on the internal force, forced a stream of true qi into Kublai Khan's body, the true qi traveled on Kublai Khan's body, urging the toxins to gather in one bloodline, and it took a lot of effort to gather the toxins in the whole body, but found that at the critical juncture of urging Kublai Khan's meridians and forcing out the poisonous blood, he always lacked a layer of skill to break the block, and after several efforts, he could not break through the toxins inside. Zhang Roufu tried again, beads of sweat rolled down his face, and in the end, not only could he not force the poisonous blood, but he lost his qi and blood, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.
Song Xixian hurriedly supported Zhang Rou and said with concern: "General Zhang Rou, how do you feel?"
Zhang Rou blamed herself: "My internal strength is not deep enough, although I can urge the toxin, but I can't force this poison, it's all because I'm incompetent." ”
Song Xixian comforted: "General Zhang Rou, don't blame yourself. With that, he picked up Zhang Rou and helped her to rest on the seat.
Zong Zheng stayed on the sidelines and watched, and finally knew that the person he saved was Kublai Khan, the king of Monan in Mongolia, and at first he wanted to help, but he was very conflicted in his heart: "Should I save him? Last time I saved the general Wang of the Southern Song Dynasty, if I save the king of Mongolia today, I don't know what I'm doing? ”
Suddenly, I remembered the plan I had planned, isn't it just an opportunity now, since General Zhang Rou can no longer be saved, if he lends a helping hand again at this moment, presumably not only Kublai Khan will remember his kindness, but also the generals present will be grateful to themselves, and then take the opportunity to become good friends with the King of Monan, and then ask the King of Mo Nan to get me and Xianjie from the Beauty Valley to get the antidote, so that they can get rid of the control of the Beauty Valley, and from then on they and Xianjie will live a life like a fairy couple.
Dong Wenbing's face was anxious, Zhang Hongyan looked at Zong Zheng, and secretly thought to himself: "Since this young man can save the prince from the hands of the three masters, I think his martial arts must not be weak." ”
So Zhang Hongyan suddenly knelt down in front of Zong Zheng, and Zhang Rou, Song Xixian, Dong Wenbing and others were very surprised. Zong Zheng was also shocked by Zhang Hongyan's actions.
I only heard Zhang Hongyan say: "Shaoxia, you can save the prince from the hands of the three masters, you must have worked hard, please save our prince." ”
After listening to Zhang Hongyan's words, Zhang Rou realized, "Yes, why didn't I think of this stubble." ”
When Song Xixian and Dong Wenbing heard that it was Zong Zheng who saved Kublai Khan, they all looked at the young man in front of them curiously, they couldn't have imagined that Zong Zheng was so young and had outstanding martial arts.
Zong Zheng stretched out his hand to help Zhang Hongyan up, and pushed him back: "Please hurry up, how can I do it, I really can't save your prince." ”
Zhang Hongyan knelt down again and said, "If you don't save our prince, I won't kneel here and not get up." ”
All the generals knew that Zhang Hongyan was smart and cautious, and knew that he must have a reason for doing this, so they also knelt on the ground together and said: "Ask Shaoxia to save the prince." ”
Zhang Rouqiang also knelt down from the seat to Zong Zheng, which made Zong Zheng feel a little ashamed. Seeing a large group of people kneeling in front of him, his stubborn heart began to soften again.
But think about it carefully, even if the generals don't ask for themselves, Kublai Khan still has to be saved, Zong Zheng knows very well in his heart that if something happens to Kublai Khan, he and Xianjie will not be able to save their lives in the future.
Zong Zheng picked up the generals one by one and promised: "Okay, I am willing to save your prince's life, but I have a request." ”
Zhang Rou immediately asked, "What is the request of the young man?"
Zong Zheng pondered for a while and replied: "Today, your prince is in danger of life, I have the ability to save your prince, I should do my best to save it, if in the future, I have something critical, I have to ask your prince, and your prince has the ability to help me, and please let your prince help, in order to repay me for saving his life today." ”
When the generals heard this, they felt that this request was extremely reasonable, so they all vouched for Kublai Khan and agreed on Kublai Khan's behalf.
Zong Zheng was relieved when he got the personal promise of the generals, thinking that he had also obtained a guarantee.
Immediately retreated from the crowd, helped Kublai Khan, and healed his injuries.
The poison in Kublai Khan's body had been gathered by Zhang Rou before, and Zong Zheng's powerful true qi penetrated through, and he quickly broke through Kublai Khan's major meridians, and when he was about to force out the toxins in his body, his true qi was obviously weakened, and he felt like he was inhaling true qi.
Zong Zheng only woke up, no wonder General Zhang could not force out the poison on Kublai Khan's body, it turned out that the poison in Kublai Khan was refined by Nan Luoxing himself, called Gong Addiction Poison, although this poison is also highly poisonous, but it cannot hurt people's lives in a short period of time, and its biggest intention is to let Yun Gong consume true qi and power for the people who heal the poisoned.
Zong Zheng didn't have anything to hesitate at the moment, it was already like this, so he had to grit his teeth and sacrifice some of his true qi and strength.
After some luck, Zongzheng's face was sweating, and only the last time he was lucky, Kublai Khan spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and the black gas on his face gradually dissipated, gradually ruddy.
Zong Zheng slowly helped Kublai Khan to lie down, got off the bed by himself, dizzy, next to the door, and just opened the door, he fainted to the ground.
Zhang Hongyan and others immediately stepped forward to help Zong Zheng, "Shaoxia, Shaoxia." Song Xixian shouted,
Zhang Hongyan and Song Xixian hurriedly picked up Zong Zheng and went to the chair in the tent, and then ordered the remaining two military doctors to hurry up to treat Zong Zheng.
Jochiri came to Kublai Khan's bed, and when he saw that Kublai Khan's face had improved, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then took his pulse, and his face was gloomy.
Zhang Rou asked, "How?"
Jochiri nodded happily and said, "After I prescribe a few pairs of medicines, I can recover after a few days of good recuperation." ”
When the generals heard this, they were relieved, and they looked at Zong Zheng again, their hearts full of gratitude and guilt.
After the remaining two military doctors diagnosed and treated, one of them said to the generals: "This young man is fine, I think it was just to heal the king's injuries, and he spent a lot of true qi and skill, and he lost his qi and blood for a while, so he was dizzy." ”
Another military doctor handed over a prescription and said: "Help the young man go down to rest first, this is a prescription to replenish the yuan and return to the qi, I will order people to suffer every day, and it will be okay to take it for a few days, but I am afraid that it will take many days to recover the lost true qi and skill!"
Zhang Hongyan immediately ordered someone to tidy up a quiet tent, ordered someone to help Zong Zheng go down to rest, and specially explained that he would take care of him.
Zhang Rou has been on the battlefield for a long time, his thinking is sharp, and his intuition tells him that this assassination is not simple, seeing the corpses of the four major cars pulled back, it shows that the person who shot is extraordinary, and his martial arts are outstanding, and he has carefully watched the scene, the other party is definitely prepared, since it can be expected that the king will hunt in Xijiao Mountain, it must be a traitor in the army.
"Who encouraged the king to go hunting in Xijiao Mountain?" Zhang Rou asked sharply.
Zhang Hongyan immediately thought that it was Lu Huchi, and replied: "It's Lu Huchi, what's wrong?"
"Quick, take this man down. Zhang Rou immediately ordered,
Zhang Hongyan pondered carefully, suddenly realized, and his eyes lit up, "Oh, I understand." Then he led a dozen people to Lu Huchi's tent.
Entering Lu Huchi's camp, Zhang Hongyan found that Lu Huchi had already fled, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Next time, let me catch you kid, and kill you sooner or later!"
Zhang Hongyan returned to the camp of the Chinese army, according to the truth, Zhang Rou suddenly understood, "It seems that the king of Mobei has already made a move, they will not give up, this time the masters who came to assassinate are all outstanding in martial arts, and the vigilance of the whole army must be strengthened, especially the vigilance of the king's camp, from today onwards, I and other generals will take turns to be on duty outside the king's camp." ”
The generals felt that it was very reasonable, so they acted according to General Zhang Rou's words.
An assassination ended with this, and everyone's hanging hearts were slightly relaxed, except for Song Xixian, the rest of the generals went back to the camp to rest.
