Everyone rushed out of the Ziwei Palace, and heard a desolate scream in the distance, one after another, endlessly, and it sounded extremely terrifying in the dark night. Timur trembled, "Why are these monsters everywhere?

Chang Xuan said: "The east seems to be a little more peaceful, let's retreat there." He grabbed Xiang'er and Dong Yao's little hands and rushed out, and Timur led the guards to hug Nan Yue'e and follow closely. Through an archway, I came to the courtyard, but I saw four or five tall tree monsters fighting with more than fifty guards, the bark of the tree monsters was thick, like rattan armor, the guards took out their spears to meet the battle, and they retreated in a series of defeats, and the situation was critical.

The goshawk rushed forward and shouted, "Attack them with fire, burn them!"

One of the guards took the torch and threw it at the tree monster, but the tree monster did not know whether it was alive or dead, and met it, and with a "boom" sound, the flames leaped, and the tree monster roared like a cow, and the branches trembled, and pressed down, and died with one of the guards.

The goshawk took a torch and used it as a sword, stabbing far and near, and in an instant passed through the dryad. The tree monsters were on fire, making loud noises in their mouths, running and chasing after them, and killing many guards before they died.

Chang Xuan said: "I'm afraid that there are many people in this palace who are infected with the disease, and it spreads, and there is a risk every step of the way. ”

Goshawk thought to himself, "What kind of trick is he playing? These tree monsters are clearly his handiwork." What is his plan to lure people out of the city?"

The six gods of Timur have no owner, and after listening to what Chang Xuan said, he believed all of them, called the remaining guards, and broke out all the way, and sure enough, the tree monsters continued on the way, from behind the pillars, in the bushes, in the crowd, and on the eaves, but fortunately, they were always scattered, and the goshawks dealt with them with torches, and the tree monsters were dying. was bound to pull people to accompany the burial, but such a fight saved more soldiers.

Later, Tengda and Trahan led a large army to rescue him, and broke out of the palace with Timur in his arms.

Outside the palace, there were tree monsters everywhere, houses on the streets were destroyed, fires shone in the sky, and dead people were in every corner. Timur was surrounded by four or five thousand men at this moment, and his heart was settled, and the Mongol army ignited the rockets. Shoot far away, and those dryads will not be able to get close.

The goshawk suddenly felt that the ground shook, and the rumbling sound was like thunder, and everyone looked at each other in shock, and looked at the sound, only to see thousands of tree monsters walking in front of them. Hearing the sound of the Mongol army, he stopped, slowly turned his head, and looked this way.

Timur was terrified. shouted: "Don't fight hard, let's retreat out of the city, just block it with rockets all the way." ”

Tengda and Trahan both had this intention, and immediately sent the order. The Mongol soldiers' military discipline was like iron, and their orders were like mountains, and although they were uneasy, they had no objections. Hundreds of infantry were holding arrows behind, and Timur and other dignitaries mounted their horses and were surrounded and guarded all the way. After a fierce battle, he finally broke through the city gate and came to rest in the mountains and forests outside the city.

Timur's body trembled, his eyes were frightened, as if he had just woken up from a nightmare, and the fear in his heart was flowing like a spring, as did Xiang'er, Dong Yao, and Nan Yue'e. Even those Mongol soldiers who have been born and died countless times, who can calm down?

Xiang'er asked, "Brother Chang Xuan, what happened to those monsters just now?"

Chang Xuan muttered, "I have not been here for a long time, but I have already discovered such a disease in the city. The old people in the city called it the 'dead wood disease', which was caused by a poisonous miasma in the mire outside the city. ”

Timur looked at the goshawk and asked, "Brother Pengyuan, didn't you also say that this kind of illness is actually harmless?"

Goshawk said: "The subordinates are the same as Chang Xuan's little brothers, and they are also hearsay, who knew that such a mess would be born." But he thought in his heart: "Although this Chang Xuan's method is terrifying, it is nothing more than that." I've always been worried that I won't be able to defeat him, but I've been too cautious. Although there are no weak people in the mountains and seas, not everyone is evenly matched. ”

Timur suddenly remembered something, only frightened, as if he had been thrown into a wolf pack, he leaned over to Chang Xuan's side and asked in a low voice, "Then will these soldiers beside me also change?"

Chang Xuan shook his head and said: "Little Lord Don't panic, this disease has struck in an instant, spread throughout the city, and is fierce, but if it is not a local resident, it may not be a big problem if it has not been trapped for a long time." Previously, among the ironclad soldiers led by Enteqi, there were only a lot of Dian people, so there was a sudden upheaval. And at the moment, we are far away from Yang Tho City, and it is even more safe. ”

Timur was a little better, but he was not always reassured. He was framed by Ahma, and suddenly encountered a monster, at this moment the wind is loud, the grass and trees are soldiers, only to feel that this Yunnan is full of danger.

Trahan said: "Little Lord, at the moment the city of Yang Tho is no longer inhabitable, we can go to Kunming County, where there is also a large army garrison, away from the swamp poisonous fog, the most livable place." ”

Timur asked, "Are the officials there a fellow of Ahma?"

Trahan said: "I have heard that the local governor is very virtuous, building water conservancy and irrigating fertile land, and is loved by the people, but he is not the same as Ahma, a traitor. ”

Timur was happy and said, "Then let's straighten out the army and horses and go to Kunming." ”

At present, the army was encamped in the forest to recuperate, and in the middle of the night, soldiers and horses came one after another, and about 25,000 men were integrated.

At this moment, I only heard Nan Yue'e exclaim, her voice was miserable, and she seemed to be in pain. Timur's face changed drastically, and when she walked into the tent where she was resting, she saw her pointing at Dong Yao and Xiang'er, and her body trembled violently.

Timur looked at the two girls, as if pierced by a sharp blade in the chest, and suddenly breathless, only to see that Dong Yao and Xiang'er had a piece of dry bark on the side of their cheeks, black and red, which looked extremely dazzling on the white and tender skin of the two.

Dong Yao and Xiang'er were puzzled, looked at each other, and when they were frightened, they screamed loudly, tears flowed, Dong Yao shouted: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I"

Xiang'er also said: "Brother Timur, save us, we will never become monsters." ”

Timur touched his forehead, wiped away his sweat, and said, "Don't worry, I'd rather lay down my life than hurt you." He has a deep affection for Xiang'er, and he also has a deep affection for Dong Yao, seeing the two of them like this, he can't wait to dig out his heart and treat them.

He walked out of the tent and summoned Chang Xuan and Goshawk, as soon as the two saw the sight in front of them, Chang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to check, and the goshawk glared at Chang Xuan angrily, and there was fire in his eyes.

Dong Yao hurriedly shouted, "Brother Chang Xuan, you can save the two of us, right?"

Chang Xuan frowned and said: "This matter is not easy, you two are golden branches and jade leaves, and your body is delicate, not as good as the soldiers, so you are susceptible to poisonous miasma." If you two continue to stay in the army, I am afraid that it will cause an epidemic. ”

Timur almost cried out, lowered his voice, and said hatefully, "You mean that this disease is still contagious, and you want to keep the two of them here?"

Chang Xuan sighed, his voice was annoyed and remorseful, and said: "Little prince, you are sensible and sensible, and you know the priorities, and I will not lie to you." I had been reading medical books in my tent and had seen a record of the disease. This disease was transmitted from person to person a hundred years ago, causing a great plague, and if the two county lords remained in the army, the slightest carelessness would be the end of the entire army. ”

Timur said angrily: "But I must not leave them here to die!" Although he was fierce and resolute, deep down, he was actually in a dilemma, knowing that if he acted willfully, if it spread out, not only would the army be dissatisfied, but once he caused a mutiny, he would inevitably end up in a terrible situation. Even if all the soldiers obeyed the order and swallowed their anger, the disease spread, and the army killed each other, and it would be doomed.

Chang Xuan said: "If you want to cure this disease, you have to go into the depths of the mire, find the seed of a 'Fangling Tree', and let the two of them take it on the spot, so that they can never suffer in the future." ”

Timur said happily: "You said earlier, since there is salvation, it is great news. I sent an army to escort my two sisters to the mud swamp to pick tree seeds to cure the disease. ”

Chang Xuan shook his head and said, "Little Prince, if you send a large army there, not only will you not be able to help, but you will put us in danger. In the miasma, the miasma is even more poisonous, and as long as the soldiers go deep into it, they will turn into dryads in a moment or three, not only harming them, but also harming the two county lords. ”

Timur said blankly: "Then what do you say?"

Chang Xuan said: "I can refine three pills according to the method of the ancient book, and I and the two county lords can each take one pill, and we can ensure that we will not get sick for ten days." Within ten days, the three of us went into the mud forest and found the tree species, which would surely cure the disease. ”

Timur said, "Since you have this elixir, can you refine a few more?"

Chang Xuan sighed: "It's just three pills, and the medicinal materials are barely enough." ”

Timur knew that there was no other way, but he still sighed and hesitated. Xiang'er said: "Brother Timur, let's do our best, and each obeys the destiny of heaven. I'm not a weak woman, but I'm a tenfold sinister place, and I've broken through a lot. There may not be any danger in this quagmire, and even if there is danger, the three of us will definitely have a way to save our lives. ”

Nan Yue'e cried: "My two hard-working children, my heart aches for my mother, why doesn't God let me get sick, but harms the two of you?"

Chang Xuan said: "The princess doesn't have to worry, according to ancient books, the closer you get to the mire, the more peaceful these tree monsters will be. We're not a long way off, and I don't expect to be able to return in less than ten days. ”

Everyone discussed for a while, but there was no other way, and Chang Xuan ordered Nan Yue'e to leave the tent and walk away.

The goshawk said, "I will go with you." ”

Xiang'er's heart was beating wildly, mixed joys and sorrows, and she was happy that the master cared for her and never gave up, and with him to follow, the opportunity for this trip increased greatly. The worry is that he is obsessed with himself, and he is deeply afraid that he has bad intentions, so he gritted his teeth, but he didn't know how to answer.

Timur hurriedly said: "Brother Pengyuan, in case you are also infected with this strange disease"

Goshawk said: "I have practiced pure yang internal strength, which is not invaded by all kinds of poisons and is not afraid of diseases. This poisonous miasma may not be effective against ordinary people, let alone a martial arts master like me?"

Timur looked at Chang Xuan, only to see Chang Xuan smile and said: "What Brother Pengyuan said is very true, since you have this intention, then our trip will be smoother and smoother." (To be continued.) )
