"Old General!"
As soon as Geshu Han fell, the mansion suddenly clamored for the sky, and his wife and maid all surrounded him. On the contrary, Li Jinglong, Hongjun and others were squeezed out of the crowd. Seeing the scene was chaotic, Hongjun frowned and was still looking inside.
"Call the doctor--"
"Come on! Come on! Madame is not good!"
Li Jinglong: "Go and show the old lady."
Geshu Han is in his sixties, and he doesn't listen to anyone, but his wife. The couple are deeply affectionate. Right now there is a large army besieging the city, and Geshu Han suddenly fell ill. It is really an internal and external trouble.
"Block the news." Li Jinglong hurriedly ordered the captain of the court guard, "Don't leak it out. It is said that the old general is in a meeting to discuss countermeasures, go!"
The maid helped Mrs. Geshu Han into the room, Hongjun went in to check her pulse, and said, "The condition is not serious, but she is scared. Just boil some Soul Lock soup and drink it."
The people in the mansion were relieved, the old lady said: "Are there any enemies outside? Where is the general? You go take a look?"
Hongjun replied: "The old general is not in the way. It should have come and gone in the wind and snow yesterday. He fainted for a while because of the cold and anxiety. Please rest assured."
Only then did the old lady calm down, grabbing Hongjun's hand and saying, "You are all good boys, I heard the master say."
Hongjun grabbed her hand and listened to her chattering a lot. Anyway, Li Jinglong didn't come to remind her, so he chatted with her for a while. After hearing it, realized that Geshu Han's wife was once a beautifully dressed eldest lady. At the age of fourteen, when she saw Geshu Han's heroic appearance in armor, she fell in love with her and followed him until now. In the meantime, there was no complaint in the marching and marching.
During this period, Geshu Han had three ups and downs, and his wife was always with him. He was fighting outside, and she stayed in the city to wait for him to return. As a Turkic, Geshu Han's promotion was extremely difficult, but she never complained. Twenty years ago, Fengxian Daying couldn't wait for the military pay and almost made a mutiny. She sold her jewelry dowry and went to Chang'an to move around.
She and Geshu Han had two sons and a daughter. The eldest son went to Luo Yang, the younger son was sent to the south to garrison, and the daughter married to Jizhou. Geshu Han never married a concubine in his life, and always put his wife first in the family.
"This time it's not better than the master breaking the Turks." The old lady said, "The city was besieged in March. Afterwards, the city ran out of food. The master also saved the army for me to eat, but he didn't have enough to eat, so how could he fight the war? What? You say yes?"
Hongjun shook her hand and replied, "Nothing will happen this time, don't worry."
The old lady said "Um", not knowing what monsters and ghosts were surrounding the city at this moment, and she chanted how many injuries and bloody battles Geshu Han had suffered.
Hongjun was annoying Geshu Han at first, after all, he was too temperamental towards Li Jinglong, but when he said that, he couldn't help but respect him. What is more respected is their relationship between husband and wife for more than 40 years.
"How many years have you been together?" Hongjun asked.
The old lady thought for a while, her mood gradually improved, and smiled: "Forty-two years."
Marrying him at the age of fourteen, Geshu Han was twenty years old that year, and now the old lady is fifty-six. Hongjun couldn't help thinking that for more than 40 years, it was almost a lifetime. I just don’t know if I will have this kind of life. There is a person who can rely on and accompany each other until I get old.
"Do you love him?" Hongjun couldn't help asking again.
"I saw him when I was very young." The old lady laughed and said to Hongjun Chao, "I also forgot how old I was that year. He was as old as you. I also called his brother... …I learned later that he was from Turkic and his surname was Ge Shu."
Hongjun laughed too. For some reason, he wanted to hear the old lady's story about their love. It sounds so beautiful. When can I have it too?
The old lady murmured for a while and fell asleep. Hongjun gently pulled out his hand to signal the maid not to wake her up, and walked out of the room slowly. Li Jinglong waited in the corridor for the first time. Hongjun was startled. The two looked at each other. Li Jinglong seemed a little lost, apparently he heard what the old lady said outside.
"It's not easy." Li Jinglong said, looking at the falling snow in the courtyard.
"Yeah." Hongjun said, "It's so good."
Hongjun looked forward to the feeling very much. After listening to it, he was still a little dazed. However, Li Jinglong laughed, looked at him, then sighed, and said, "Let’s take your time to recollect, the situation is a bit wrong, you look first Look."
Hongjun was very surprised, and followed Li Jinglong across the corridor and entered Morigen's door.
Lu Xu lay down in front of Morigen's couch, holding his little finger. When Hongjun saw Morigen's face, he secretly said that it was not good. It was not so serious yesterday. What's wrong?
Seeing Hongjun coming, Lu Xu quickly stepped aside and pointed at Morigen. He was obviously worried for a long time, but could not find anyone.
Hongjun tried Morigen's forehead and said, "Morigen?"
"Cold..." Morigen replied.
Morigen only used some rice soup last night. Today's meal was placed on the table, and only moved a little bit. Seeing that, it was mostly Lu Xu.
He was still naked, covered with a quilt, showing his arms and shoulders, and his injuries were all cured.
"Give him another medicine?" Li Jinglong asked.
"Take two pills." Hongjun replied, "You can't eat any more. If you eat too much, I'm afraid the body will burn."
Morigen was half asleep and half awake, always feeling cold. Li Jinglong said, "It's not like a wind chill, like being bitten by a snake. I don't know if he was scratched by a war dead ghoul and contracted corpse poison."
"The wound did not fester." Hongjun frowned, "No, you..." He suddenly remembered that more than one person was injured yesterday, and instantly said, "Chang Shi, how about you? How about the injury?"
Li Jinglong took off his clothes, turned his back to Hongjun, and opened his robe to show him his wounds. There were several obvious stab wounds on his back muscles, and an arrow wound on his arm, all of which healed.
Li Jinglong said again: "There is one more thing, come and see."
Hongjun put on Morigen's single coat first. Lu Xu looked at Hongjun worriedly. Hongjun was upset and said, "I'm going to get him medicine."
Lu Xu stubbornly followed, Li Jinglong left the house and asked Hongjun to take Lu Xu to the main street of Liang Province on horseback. The ghoul army outside the city did not launch a siege, but the rumors of the people in Liang Province have spread all over the sky, panic all day long. A strange and terrifying atmosphere shrouded the city.
Hongjun wanted to go to the pharmacy, but Li Jinglong took them into an alley and dropped into a house, which was the Qin Mansion. Qin Liang was lying on the couch, with his daughter Qin Xuan and his wife standing by.
Hongjun: "!!!"
"Come and take a look." Qin Xuan said anxiously. Before she sent a letter to the general's mansion, Li Jinglong finally came.
"It's exactly the same." Hongjun murmured.
"What's the same?" Qin Xuan asked.
Looking at Qin Liang's wounds yesterday, Hongjun used gold wound medicine for the trauma, which was basically harmless, but his face was ashamed, exactly the same as Morigen's situation.
Qin Xuan and Mrs. Qin asked questions about each other. Hongjun was anxious, and after only a few words of comfort, he said to grab the medicine, leave Qin's mansion, and go to the Chinese Medicine Hall in Decheng. Liang Province City is a place that the Silk Road must pass through. The medicinal materials are abundant. There are Lihun flower seeds produced in the Western Regions, and expensive medicines such as snow lotus. However, Hongjun faces the medicine drawer and does not know what medicine to prepare.
At this time, he only hated that he had learned too little before, so why not learn medicine from Zhongming? In case there is something wrong with Morigen... Hongjun looked blank, and thought of how to go to Shiwei to inform Morigen's family and let them come and see him, but Li Jinglong patted Hongjun on the back. , Said: "Don't be afraid, do your best first, I will be there for everything."
Hongjun nodded, grabbed the medicine for warming the cold and promoting blood circulation, and it came out of the medicine hall. However, Li Jinglong signaled to wait a while and sat down in the restaurant outside the alley and ordered something to eat.
This restaurant is called "Fish and Sheep Drink" and is famous for its mutton dumplings. In the freezing weather, the store scoops a tablespoon of medicinal soup stewed with warm herbs and fish bones. The dumplings are wrapped in mutton and red and white radish filaments. It is chewy, the filling is sweet in the entrance, the lamb is tender and fragrant, and the medicinal soup can keep out the cold. It is simply delicious on earth.
However, Hongjun really couldn't eat it. He was very worried. After taking two bites, Lu Xu burst into tears and couldn't help wiping tears.
As soon as Lu Xu cried, he recruited Hongjun. When Hongjun cried when he was a child, he would be scolded by Chongming. Feeling panicked, he stretched out his hand to comfort Lu Xu, and couldn't help crying.
Li Jinglong: "..."
"I said, Morigen will get better." Li Jinglong said, "Do you believe me or not? Hongjun, I promised you, which one has not been done?"
When Hongjun was said so, he instantly regained his confidence, thinking that it seemed to be the case. Li Jinglong had done everything he promised, and he never broke his promise.
"I believe." Hongjun said, "but he doesn't believe it."
Li Jinglong and Hongjun touched Lu Xu's head together, let him eat, and it took Lu Xu a long time to calm down.
"Is it delicious?" Li Jinglong said.
After Hongjun had eaten delicious food, he was still in a slightly better mood. Now he became more entangled. He was worried about Morigen, but he didn't dare to show worry, lest Li Jinglong felt angry because he didn't believe him.
"You take it as we used to investigate the case." After lunch, Li Jinglong leaned on the second floor of the restaurant to look out on the crowded streets and said, "If you care, you must be calm, so that you can catch a glimpse of the mystery Turnaround."
Hongjun seemed to understand, and Li Jinglong said: "Hurry up, how can you be able to investigate the case if you don't finish it?"
Lu Xu also understood, so he finished the dumplings in the bowl with Hongjun. When he got out of the street, Li Jinglong said: "Don't be busy going back to dispense medicine, first go to the market."
Hongjun followed Li Jinglong and saw that Li Jinglong bought a pair of children's sheepskin-lined snow boots at the market.
Hongjun asked: "What is this going to do?"
Li Jinglong replied: "You'll know later."
Then Li Jinglong bought a thick padded sheepskin bag, borrowed scissors, cut a few holes in the sheepskin bag, tied the bag with a rope, tied it, and frowned, "You can't help it with your feet. Get me two small sleeves."
Hongjun: "..."
"Buy some more thick ropes." Li Jinglong ordered, "Buy some stronger ones."
After buying all the things, the three of them went to the garrison in the city. There were more soldiers falling down, and no less than forty barracks were already lying down. All of them had the same symptoms as Morigen and Qin Liang.
Hongjun was shocked, but when he looked at Li Jinglong, Li Jinglong was not surprised at all, as if he had expected this to happen earlier.
The army doctor watched for a long time, and all said it was injured and feverish, and could not tell why. The soldiers were shaking with cold and their bodies were cold.
"Give them this medicine to see." Hongjun handed the prescription to the military doctor. The military doctor prescribed something similar to Hongjun, so he adjusted a few medicines and asked them to grab the medicine and decoct it.
"How many people are sick?" Li Jinglong said.
A lieutenant was unwilling to answer, obviously because it might affect the morale of the army, but Li Jinglong spread his hand, and inside was a wooden sign from the general's mansion, and he didn't know where he came from.
"Thirteen thousand, three hundred and seventy-five people," said the lieutenant. "There are others who are falling ill."
Li Jinglong: "..."
Geshu Han took 20,000 cavalry out of the city yesterday, which means that all the soldiers injured yesterday fell ill. Liang Province claims to have 50,000 iron cavalry and 30,000 infantrymen. The city has a total of 80,000 troops, and it has the power of World War I.
Li Jinglong got on the horse again, this time Hongjun stopped asking, and followed up to the tower.
The cold wind is icy, and the city is besieged by hundreds of thousands of war dead and ghouls, like a sculpture in this icy and snowy ground, covered with snow, and it is one body with the snowy ground.
"What do you think they are doing?" Li Jinglong said.
"It seems to be waiting." Hongjun frowned and replied.
"What are you waiting for?" Li Jinglong turned his head and stared at Hongjun.
Hongjun: "..."
Hongjun suddenly understood Li Jinglong's thoughts. One hundred thousand war dead and ghosts besieged the city for a whole day and night, why not attack the city? Waiting for reinforcements? Not necessarily, what are they waiting for? Wait for the soldiers in the city to die by themselves?
"Do you think Morigen, Qin Liang, and the more than 10,000 soldiers are poisonous or are they disease spread by war dead ghouls?" Li Jinglong asked Hongjun, "This is very important, Hongjun."
Hongjun suddenly fell into hesitation, frowning and thinking for a long time, Li Jinglong replied: "Intuition."
"Poison." Since he said that, Hongjun didn't want to answer.
Li Jinglong said: "I also think it is poison, a kind of poison that can turn a living person into a dead person, and then into a ghoul. You wait here, I will catch a few and come back and try."
"No, no," Hongjun said, "Don't go!"
Li Jinglong said: "I am not affected by this epidemic."
"But you will be trampled to death!" Hongjun said, "A hundred thousand army!"
Li Jinglong said: "You are responsible for receiving me."
"No!" Hongjun said, "I will accompany you."
Li Jinglong grabbed Hongjun by the collar and said, "You must not have an accident!"
Hongjun opened his sleeve to show him the back of his hand, and Li Jinglong was stunned.
There is a scar from yesterday on the back of his hand, which has healed.
Li Jinglong frowned and said, "Maybe because there are not many injuries."
Hongjun glanced at Lu Xu and whispered: "This disease is only effective for people. I am a demon, so it's different."
"Morigen..." Li Jinglong realized that Lu Xu was beside him, and motioned with his eyes. Hongjun replied, "He is not, he is a mortal body after all."
Li Jinglong finally had to give in and said, "Then you must..."
Hongjun looked at Li Jinglong with a smile in his eyes, and Li Jinglong stopped her mother-in-law and said, "Go."
Li Jinglong and Hongjun put on their saddles on the horse, turned on their horses, but Lu Xu chased them out and shouted, "Me! Me!"
"You go back soon!" Hongjun said to Lu Xu.
Lu Xu hurriedly pulled down his shirt to show Hongjun. Hongjun and Li Jinglong were taken aback. Lu Xu also had a scar on his collarbone, apparently healed for a long time.
"Are you okay?" Hongjun looked at Lu Xu in surprise.
Lu Xu took a shovel next to the city gate and wanted to follow him with his back. Li Jinglong couldn't explain it for a while and shouted: "Come on, hold him!"
The soldiers swarmed up, but Lu Xu was angry, and passed through the gap between the soldiers with a "swish". Hongjun only felt a flower in front of him, and Lu Xu was gone.
"Why so fast?" It was the first time Hongjun noticed Lu Xu's shot.
Immediately after Lu Xulan stood in front of the two horses, shouting: "Me!"
Li Jinglong said angrily: "No!"
"I protect him." Hongjun said to Li Jinglong. He understood how Lu Xu wanted to save Morigen. Li Jinglong frowned and Hongjun said, "If you are sick, I will be equally worried."
When Li Jinglong heard this, he said helplessly: "You are my boss, let's go!"
So Hongjun carried the prepared thick ropes on his back, and the three of them galloped, approaching the phalanx of the war dead ghouls, and the plain outside the city was silent.
Li Jinglong whispered: "I'll bring one over, you will take the opportunity and trap it with the five-color light."
Hongjun said: "Chang Shi, do you think... are you sure that you can attract one?"
The three of them were on horseback, looking at the unmoved phalanx nearly ten feet away. Li Jinglong said, "How about I shoot an arrow first?"
Li Jinglong aimed at one of them. Hongjun had never practiced horseback riding, but he felt that the fight on the ground was easier.
Li Jinglong aimed and lowered with the bow and arrow, aiming and lowering, several times in a row, finally made up his mind and shot an arrow.
At that moment, Hongjun raised his throat with a heart.
With a "dang" sound from a distance, the front of the phalanx was shot down with a helmet on his head.
However, the army was unmoved.
Hongjun: "..."
"Come on again." Li Jinglong shot another arrow, then shot another head, still nothing.
Hongjun: "???"
Suddenly Hongjun remembered that a whole row was neat and tidy, using his own throwing knife to cut it horizontally... one knife seemed very useful? !
Li Jinglong saw the Modao in Hongjun's hand and said, "It's not good."
Hongjun said: "If they don't get an order, they are all waiting in line. If they cut a few more times, they will all be finished? The military order is like a mountain, right?"
Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment, did not stop Hongjun, and said, "You cut it."
The atmosphere is really weird. Hongjun gathered his strength on his wrists, and the Modao after the celestial swords were combined into one, suddenly radiated light and became almost transparent.
Li Jinglong: "How many dollars can you pay?"
"Up to four knives." The magic weapon is okay, but Hongjun's mana and cultivation base can't keep up. This knife is extremely powerful, almost destroying the world, and even the mountains can be cut off.
"One sword in each of the southeast and the northwest." Li Jinglong had changed his mind and said, "Shoot!"
Hongjun yelled, his wrist deflected, the tip of the knife swept an arc, his hands were cut, and he cut horizontally in front of him.
Suddenly the sword aura broke out. It was the first time that Li Jinglong clearly saw Hongjun's sword. He saw the sword aura curling up thousands of heavy snow, and rushing towards the battle ghoul phalanx. The platoon of soldiers, and then the entire phalanx of nearly two thousand people collapsed.
But the next moment, all the war dead ghouls outside the city moved!
One hundred thousand war dead ghouls launched a charge towards the center!
Li Jinglong roared: "Quickly withdraw!"
Hongjun said: "I'll make up..."
"Don't make up!" Li Jinglong shouted, "Go! Protect Lu Xu!"
Suddenly the army came out like a tide, and Hongjun realized that he had brought Lu Xu, and immediately turned around and ran. The phalanx quickly moved closer. Li Jinglong was holding the wisdom sword and swept left and right. The light of the heart lamp was actually stronger than the flying sword of Zhanxian. When he was hit by the sword, the army of war dead ghouls suddenly turned on their backs.
Lu Xu shouted: "Grab! Grab!"
Lu Xu took Hongjun's noose on his back and jumped off his horse. Hongjun was so frightened, he shouted: "Lu Xu! Don't run around!"
At that time, I saw Lu Xu holding a rope in his left hand and a shovel in his right. With his arms stretched out, he ran on the snowy ground. The speed was as fast as a flying falcon. Li Jinglong had no time anymore. Think more and shout: "Set one!"
"Live!" Lu Xu shouted, "Half!"
Hongjun: "???"
"Not half!" Li Jinglong did not expect that Lu Xu would listen to the conversation between herself and Morigen that day, and shouted, "One! One!"
So Lu Xu ran on the ground, Li Jinglong and Hongjun rushed on horseback, followed by an army of nearly ten thousand dead ghouls behind them, and launched an earth-shattering chase outside the city. There was a tumult at the city gate. Cheer three people.
"Hongjun, five-color light!" Li Jinglong turned back and shouted while galloping. Hongjun was on the horse, leaning on his side, releasing a five-color light, and with a loud noise, the front team of the chasing troops was blasted into the sky.
"Set!" Li Jinglong shouted.
Lu Xu turned around and moved the noose towards the chaser, and dragged one down. The war dead ghoul waved his hands and feet, and was dragged and bumped in the snow.
"One more!" Hongjun said.
Li Jinglong hurriedly roared: "No, no, no!"
Hongjun made another move. Lu Xu put another one down, and then the three of them turned around the mound and grabbed the third one. Hongjun dragged three thick ropes with three war dead ghouls tied to the ropes, dragging them in the snow.
"You are still addicted!" Li Jinglong shouted, "Enough! Go!"
Hongjun shouted: "Lu Xu come up soon!"
Lu Xu took a few steps and stepped on the rope. He flew behind Hongjun and sat firmly. The three of them dragged sleds farther and farther. Li Jinglong couldn't help turning his head and passed a glacier. The iron horse chased after him.
"Suck." Hongjun dragged the three prisoners immediately, his speed slowed down gradually, "I won't keep chasing like this!"
Li Jinglong shouted: "Turn around and shoot at the ice river!"
Hongjun subconsciously leaned sideways and swiped it away. The sword plunged into the glacier. The ice surface broke. The chasing soldiers plunged into the river and fell to the bottom of the river. They struggled and were carried downstream by the river.
The two men stationed on horses to observe, only to see tens of thousands of cavalry rushing into the river endlessly, seemingly incapable of discernment, just filling in the ice river without knowing the detour.
Li Jinglong's mouth twitched, watching the scene in front of him, but a low growl came from a distance.
"That voice again."
The war dead ghouls stopped suddenly and well-trained, retreated one after another, and left the river. The three caught also swayed, dragging the rope and walking staggering in the direction of the sound. Hongjun dragged the prisoner down, and went to the west gate with Li Jinglong back to Liang Province.
Fei Tian Ye Xiang reminds you: Seek collection (
), and then it is more convenient to look at.
