Chapter 37 Seeking Medicine
The hour had passed, and it was getting dark. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info But Laiyun City seemed to be shrouded in a black fog that was a little darker than this night.
The barbarians have entered the city.
Before You Qing came to Xiliang, he naturally thought about the defeat of the army and the barbarian army entering the city, but he never thought about it. In this way, the barbarians invaded without a single soldier, or rather, entered Laiyun City.
This hastily pulled up army is certainly not a strong army, and it is not comparable to the eight thousand blood-clothed guards in the hands of the dragon god general who guarded the Yongning Pass. But except for the rabble of death row prisoners who had been transferred to the West Fort, more than half of the remaining 8,000 people were quacks who volunteered to join the army. Although the discipline is much worse than that of the regular army, the enthusiasm does not seem to be a fraud.
But just when everyone was sharpening their knives and preparing to fight to the death with the barbarians, a particularly puzzling order came out of the tent of the god general - open the city gate and welcome the barbarian army into the city.
You Qing, who was still on the city wall, was so shocked by this order that he was almost stunned.
The walls of Laiyun City are thick, and the barbarian army is an expeditionary army, and the number of victories and defeats of them holding on to the city is especially unknown.
If the city gate is opened, it means giving up the time and place, and engaging the barbarians in short-handed battles. And the barbarians are already powerful, and this is what they do best. Giving up on the long and the short is not the way to win. Such a simple truth, You Qing can figure it out, he doesn't believe that Zhenxiguan will not be clear.
In that case, there is only one reason left for Zhenxi Guan to order people to open the city gate, he wants to surrender to the enemy!
You Qing is naturally not a good man and a woman, and what Jiangshan Sheji and Li Min are like bullshit in his heart.
But surrender to the foreigners.
He never even thought about it.
Because a foreigner is a foreigner, death may be a better choice to some extent than to become a prisoner of their ranks.
You Qing has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has long lost his conscience, but as a soldier, he still has a little blood.
So, he and another lieutenant general named Hong Juzong with a scar on his face came to the camp in Zhenxiguan to ask him why he had made such a decision.
And the answer You Qing got was that the sword in Zhenxi Guan's hand and Hong Juzong's body were gradually cold.
As a result, the city gate that had been painstakingly built for four or five months was forcibly opened by Zhenxi Pass, whose eyes flashed with a strange red light, and his identity as a god general and his cultivation of the soul guarding realm were hardly able to muster the courage to fight against him in Laiyun City. Then, the barbarians poured in like wolves, because the city gate was suddenly opened, and although the soldiers who had lost their morale carried out some counterattacks under the organization of their respective commanders, after all, because of the defection of the main general, such a counteroffensive could hardly have any effect, and they were defeated under the attack of the barbarian army in an orderly manner.
With the death of several commanders under the tent in Zhenxi, the leaderless army gradually became tired, and some began to abandon their troops and flee, but such an escape could only bring more and more bloody slaughter.
I don't know when Zhenxiguan has already stood beside the three leaders of the barbarian army with a respectful demeanor, and a corpse was also carried over by some barbarian soldiers at this time.
"Is that it?" asked the girl in the middle of the three.
Her face was grim, as if the killing and screams that were still rising around her could not stir up ripples in her heart in the slightest.
Zhen Xiguan's gaze swept over those corpses, and he frowned and said, "Nine, there is still one missing." ”
If Su Changan was here, he would definitely be able to recognize these nine corpses, which were the other eight commanders besides him and the deputy general with a scar on his face in Zhenxi Pass.
"Really?" the girl's brow furrowed, and she looked at the Terran soldiers who were already fleeing like a defeated dog, and said, "But it seems that they have already mixed in with the crowd and started to run away." ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, it's better to send someone to look for it, after all, the stakes are so important that there is no room for error. The tall man on the side reminded.
The girl nodded when she heard this, and said, "Well, you send someone to inspect it, so that he doesn't have a good thing that spoils us again." ”
The man nodded, then gently patted the beast under his crotch, and his body rushed out like thunder.
"The princess really admired this trick of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and sent the elite assassins of the Dijiang clan to kill these generals one by one, and the remaining soldiers were really like headless flies as the princess expected, only to run around. On the other side, the man in the black robe also complimented.
But the girl didn't buy it, she didn't even look at the black-robed man, but ordered to Zhenxiguan, whose eyes were glowing with blood: "Go and arrest all the residents and soldiers in this town, and none of them can run, otherwise if the news leaks and the big thing happens, I want you and your Jiuying clan to be unable to eat and go around!"
Hearing this, Zhenxiguan subconsciously glanced at him in the black robe, until he saw the black robe's head wrapped in black cloth and nodded imperceptibly, before he saluted, and then began to gather the barbarian army to drive the remaining remnants of the human race and the people to the open space where the soldiers had trained.
You Qing fled, and at the moment when Zhenxiguan swung his sword at Hong Juzong, You Qing knew that things were not good, and Zhenxiguan had made up his mind.
Naturally, he couldn't accompany Zhenxiguan to surrender to the barbarians, because that was a dead end.
It is not easy to escape, judging from the posture of the barbarians blocking the city gates.
So, he went to the Taishou Mansion. He felt that at this time, he needed someone with enough prestige to stand up and lead everyone to fight against the barbarians, although this might not necessarily have a few chances of winning, but at least there was a glimmer of hope for breaking out of the encirclement.
And looking at the entire Laiyun City, except for the people who can have such prestige in Zhenxiguan, there is naturally only the old lady of Laiyun City-Yuan Xingsong.
But when You Qing ran all the way to Taishou Mansion, his brows suddenly wrinkled.
As soon as he walked to the door, he smelled a pungent smell, which was naturally no stranger to him after a long time on the battlefield.
It was a very strong smell of blood.
The barbarian army had entered the city, but the soldiers were still fighting against it, and although they were defeated, he did not see any barbarian troops on the way here, and it was obvious that no one had entered at this time.
So what's going on with this smell of blood coming from the Taishou Mansion?
Although he was puzzled, You Qing still strode in, no matter what, he needed to find Taishou, and now, only he could organize everyone and give him a chance to live.
But when he walked into the main hall of the Taishou Mansion and saw the situation inside, You Qing's face became extremely ugly.
At this time, there were dense corpses lying in the Taishou Mansion, and the clothes should be the maids and subordinates in the mansion. It stands to reason that judging from You Qing's experience in fighting for many years, there must be a lot of dead bodies he has seen, and he should not be shocked by some corpses.
But these dead corpses in front of him were indeed too weird, so weird that they were enough to make You Qing feel chills for a while.
The corpses, as if they had been hollowed out from within, were shriveled down like air bags. Even some bloody internal organs were thrown at random in all corners of the main hall, with some gaps on them, and it looked like someone had been bitten by something.
Even the barbarians who have always been shameless by Great Wei never dared to eat people, so what are these corpses, or what monsters are caused by?
You Qing shook his head, driving out the horror in his heart, he lowered his body and began to rummage through the corpses one after another, although they were all like dried corpses, but from their clothes, they could still distinguish their identities in front of them.
Unable to say whether lucky or unlucky, You Qing spent a quarter of an hour inspecting the corpses one by one, but found no trace of the old lady guarding Yuan Xingsong. He was puzzled in his heart, he didn't know where this accident started, and he didn't know how Yuan Xingsong escaped this catastrophe. Although this old lady was a powerhouse in the Dao Realm back then, he even hit the stars for a time. However, although the Star Death and the Question seem to be only a realm away, the gap between them is like a moat across the sky.
Yuan Xingsong failed in the end, and as he grew older, his cultivation began to decline. This is an inevitable process, even if it is as strong as a star, it cannot withstand the erosion of time, let alone him. Coupled with the hidden danger of forcibly breaking through the star in the early years, the current Yuan Xingsong can't even grab much compared to some monks in the Prosperous Morning Realm. This is something that the entire Xiliang people know, and how did he escape the catastrophe of Taishou Mansion like this, You Qing couldn't figure it out.
But at that moment, You Qing suddenly felt a roar from the back of his head, his body paused, and a man's rough voice came from his ears.
"That's him, tie him up for me. ”
Then, You Qing felt a group of people rushing up to restrain him, and his head was dizzy for a while, and he fainted at that time.
By the time he opened his eyes again, he was tied to a stone pillar, surrounded by a dense crowd of people and soldiers who knelt on the ground and trembled like him. Before he could figure out what he was in, he saw several figures walking on the high platform in front of him.
The leader is a young girl, born extremely beautiful, with bronze skin, although it is different from those white and tender girls in Dawei, but with a unique charm and charm. If it is placed in those brothels of Qinglou, You Qing will definitely have a happy night with him even if he spends a year's military salary. But now he didn't have the slightest idea of this, because there was a red crow-like ornament on the girl's right eye, and You Qing knew very well that it was a pattern that only the royal family of the barbarian Dijiang clan could have.
And soon, the corner of his eye swept to the corner of his eye, and a man was standing next to the girl at this moment, talking to the girl with a respectful expression.
You Qing's face changed, and then a burst of anger appeared.
"Zhenxiguan, you traitor, you dog, you mother, you can't die!" his voice was very loud, and he didn't feel the slightest fear of his current situation. And he really has nothing to fear, since it has fallen into the hands of the barbarians, the result will definitely not be much worse. It's just that he is very unwilling, he has been preparing for so long, and he has not really fought yet, so he has already fallen into such a field.
And all these mistakes, in the final analysis, are the surrender of Zhenxi Pass.
You Qing's roar naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers around him, and a trace of unwillingness appeared on their faces, but they quickly suppressed it, because they had already experienced the killing just now, eight thousand soldiers, and now there are less than three thousand left, and those who survived were naturally those who did not dare to die. So, they chose to bow their heads and choose silence.
It is precisely because of this silence. It made You Qing's voice so harsh and loud at this time.
Naturally, the people on the stage also heard his voice, and they turned their heads to look at You Qing at that time.
His appearance was a little hideous because of anger, and there was a flame burning in his eyes, and the flames were so fierce that he seemed to want to swallow all the Zhenxi Pass.
But Zhenxiguan turned a blind eye to this, he just laughed.
It was a very rampant smile, and in the few years that You Qing had known Zhenxiguan, he had never seen him smile like this. In other words, it looks very incongruous to show such a smile on Zhenxiguan's always meticulous face. It makes people feel weird, even terrifying. It's as if there is another soul living under the skin of Zhenxiguan.
"General You is relieved. Zhen Xiguan said this, his voice sounding even more eerie than the smile on his face at the moment. Low, hoarse, with a rotten smell. "The town god will die a bad death. ”
Maybe Zhen Xiguan's voice was too strange, or the meaning of what he said was too unclear. You Qing was slightly stunned after hearing this, and before he could say anything, his pupils suddenly dilated at that time, as if some extremely incredible scene had appeared in front of him.
And that's exactly what happened.
Zhenxiguan's body slowly fell down after he said this, his face was crawling with wrinkles at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the hair on his head began to hang down indiscriminately, spontaneously rooting and spreading a trace of snow white, and then spreading towards the ends of his hair.
In the end, he took on the form of a different person entirely.
"You... You are... Yuan Xingsong!" You Qing felt a chill rise from his lower abdomen, causing goosebumps to roll up and down all over his body.
"It's me. The rickety old lady nodded, a strange smile on her wrinkled face.
"The town... What about Zhenxi Pass..."You Qing asked tremblingly.
"As you say, you will not die well. The old man replied, the smell of corruption growing stronger in his voice.
"Why...?" You Qing probably understood what had happened, it was this Laiyun City Taishou who killed Zhenxi Pass, and then used an unknown method to pretend to be Zhen Xiguan and cooperate with the barbarians. It's just that he is still a little puzzled, Yuan Xingsong's reputation for loving the people like a son is known to the world, why, he would do such a thing.
"To survive. The old man replied, and then he began to cough heartbreakingly. Without the disguise of Zhenxi Pass, the old lady looked older and older, as if he was about to die at any moment. As if he was also aware of his state, he no longer paid attention to You Qing, who was already like a dead man in his eyes, but turned his head to look at the black robe who had been standing quietly next to the barbarian girl, and asked with a respectful and flattering expression: "Lord Bone, you explain the small thing, the small one has been done, you look at this medicine..."
The red light in the black-robed man's eyes flashed, and he shook his head and said, "You are about to die, my medicine is useless to you." ”
Yuan Xingsong's face suddenly became ugly, and he said as if pleading: "Lord Bone, the little one has always been loyal to the Nine Infant Clan, you can't be untrustworthy." ”
The black-robed man interrupted him impatiently and said, "I said that my medicine is useless, but I didn't say that I can't save you. In this Laiyun City, there are things that can prolong your life for decades. ”
Yuan Xingsong was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
The black-robed man stretched out his finger and pointed to a certain place in front of him, and said with a rare trembling voice: "There." ”
Yuan Xingsong had doubts in his heart, and he looked in the direction pointed by the black-robed man.
It seems to be a temple there.
Inside is dedicated to a deceased star.
What's his name? Yuan Xingsong thought about it very seriously, and then his eyes flashed.
There, is the tomb of the god of Zhenxi.
