Tsing Yi Bu Tong's Qing Gong is not as good as Su Jing's, which is like walking on the snow without leaving a trace, but her body's true energy is rarely seen in the world. She can circulate her whole body to raise her energy, but it is much lighter than ordinary martial arts practitioners. The long sword in her hand is not an ordinary thing, but it belongs to Emperor Chongzhen.
Shang Fang's sword, I saw her flying with the sword but almost making no sound. In a blink of an eye, she approached the cliff and took a closer look. Sure enough, she saw traces of branches swept on the snow. Looking at the jungle, she became more and more wary. She concentrated her energy.
There was no sound, but when I fiddled with the traces with my sword, I suddenly discovered that there were blood stains under the snow!
Not far away, Chang Yu saw Qing Yi's actions and felt anxious. What was this girl talking about? Just as he was about to duck over, he saw that Qing Yi had already gotten into the bushes, and Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan had also gotten in from both sides.
The bushes were no bigger than two rooms and no taller than two people. The branches and leaves were covered with white snow. When Qing Yi got in, he saw traces of someone. He used his sword to open the bushes and walked cautiously inside. He vaguely saw a grass nest through the cracks in the branches.
That's right, it was a nest made of hay in the bushes. A dark thing was curled up inside. I don't know whether it was a human or an animal. He was about to stab him with his sword. Wu Mushan came from the side and waved his hand to stop him, and then took a look.
When I got closer and took a closer look, I was immediately stunned. There was a person curled up in the grass nest, a dead person!
The man's clothes and hands were covered in blood, and his face was white but black. He looked like he had been dead for a long time. Wang Fuchen picked out the sole of the man's shoe with a knife and found it motionless. "He's dead," he said, groping for a few pieces on his body.
When I saw an object, I was suddenly startled again: the officers and soldiers did not collect it at night.
"He's not dead yet." Qing Yi put his hand on the man's pulse: "It's very weak but he still has breath."
Chang Yu and others cleared the traces and got into the bushes. Qing Yi was checking the man's injuries. He was stabbed three times, one of which was the most serious one in the ribs: "This should be a lonely brother." Kuang Ren sighed,
He shook his head gently: "I can't save him."
"Maybe he was alone, maybe he escaped death... It's a pity that he can only survive here." Chang Yu sighed, but Qing Yi said: "It can be saved, but there is no medicine."
Kuang Ren frowned: "Let's just bring some wound medicine with us. Where can we get other medicine? Even though it's in the mountains, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. You can't dig it up even if you want. Even if you can dig it, there's no place to stay."
"Let's take him down the mountain first. Maybe we can go to the medicine shop..." Qing Yi was interrupted by Kuang Ren before he could finish his words: "There are wolves in front of us and tigers in the back. There are thieves everywhere. How can we take him down the mountain?"
And how to deal with it? Whether he is kept in a common people's home or a drug store with stab wounds, he will be reported to the thief, and he will still die."
"Are you just going to watch him die like this?" Qing Yi looked sad: "Brother Kuang, why are you so cruel..."
"Don't blame him for being cruel." Chang Yu patted Qing Yi on the shoulder: "What he said is all true. In our current situation, he is a burden and can even drag a few of us into a dead end. But..." Qing Yi's tears were already gone.
She collapsed, and she immediately thought of what she had experienced after going down the mountain, being sick and lying on the roadside waiting to die, without food or clothing.
"But, I can't leave him here to die." Chang Yu said, his eyes passing over the faces of Kuang Ren and others: "He sacrificed his life for the court, I will not abandon him, just like me
I won’t abandon you, even if it costs me my life, I will never regret it.”
Everyone was immediately moved. Wang Fuchen patted his chest: "Just do whatever the shopkeeper says. In the worst case, we will all die together!"
"Bah, it's not that easy to die. I think back then we killed thousands of soldiers and horses, let alone getting into the forest." Chen Suole laughed and cursed while helping Qing Yi apply medicine and bandage to the dying spy.
Wound.
"He lost too much blood and has a low temperature. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for long." Although Chang Yu had decided to risk his life to save the spy, he also knew that the consequences were not optimistic. If he survived the low temperature, he would probably develop a high fever again.
It was not suitable to stay here for a long time. After everyone worked together to bandage the man, they then asked Wu Mushan to carry him on his back. Because he was the biggest and strongest, the group did not dare to go to the top of the mountain and walk along the northwest slope to the southwest.
As we walked deeper and deeper into the mountain, the road became more difficult, and the sky became darker and darker. Kuang Ren muttered: "It's too deep into the mountain, so don't get lost. This is truly a barren mountain."
Chang Yu was also beating a drum in his mind. He estimated that Hancheng County should be parallel to Hancheng County at this time but separated by several hills. Of course, this was just an estimate. He couldn't be sure of the facts because it was already dark. "It seems like there will really be snow tonight."
There is a hole. Wu Mushan carried the unconscious spy on his back and leaned on a stick in his hand, gasping for breath. "The deep mountains and old forests here are inaccessible and there must be no thieves. Let's light a fire to warm up."
No one objected to this proposal. After all, this place is too remote. Even if someone spots a fire from a distance, they will think it is the work of hunters. If not, wait until they come over the mountains and it will be daybreak. They can do it as they say.
When he found a sheltered place and prepared to light a fire, Kuang Ren suddenly pointed in the distance: "Look..."
Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and saw several pillars of green smoke rising into the sky in the valley in the distance.
There are people.
This is a small mountain village with only six families. The family at the far end of the hillside has five people from three generations. At this time, they were sitting in the corner of the house with panic-stricken eyes looking at Chang Yu and this group of uninvited guests. These people suddenly suddenly
came out and restrained them: "If you don't make a sound or leave the house, no one will hurt you."
The two guards were out in the yard. Wang Fuchen and Wu Mushan were busy boiling water for cooking. Qingyi and Kuang Ren were re-bandaging the spies' wounds and brewing medicine. The medicine was some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs dug by the mountain people themselves.
I have to find a way to use Qing Yi.
"Have any officers or soldiers been here before?" Chang Yu asked the elder of the family.
The old man shook his head: "What are these officers and soldiers in the deep mountains and old forests doing? Even the green forest bandits have never seen it. We poor mountain people have nothing to rob." Chang Yu said, "Do you know Hancheng County?"
Where?"
"I've heard of this name, but I've never been there. I don't know which direction it is in. No one has been to the village."
Chang Yu was relieved and could finally have a good sleep tonight.
Seeing that they were eating, drinking and resting around the firewood, the mountain people's family relaxed slightly. Chang Yu took off his boots and found blisters. Qing Yi used a needle to prick them and applied medicine: "Shopkeeper, please take a nap."
, let’s leave at dawn.”
"I'm not sleepy." Chang Yu shook his head. Although he was very energetic, he was a little tired, but he was really tired: "I'll keep vigil, you can go to sleep." After saying that, he looked back and found that Kuang Ren and the others were already asleep against the corner.
, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, they were really tired after traveling over mountains and ridges for two days and two.
"Shopkeeper, I'll stay with you all night." Qing Yi plucked the firewood and said, "I can survive two days and two nights without sleeping." Chang Yu was surprised, thinking that it might have something to do with her Qi practice, just at this moment, someone in the corner
The comatose spy woke up and made a babbling sound. Qingyi hurried over to check and touched his forehead with her hand. Fortunately, it seemed that the medicinal soup just now worked and there was no fever.
This man's life is tough. Chang Yu muttered, walked over and knelt down to see the spy opened his eyes slightly: "Brother, can you hear what I'm saying?"
The man's eyes were empty and confused, but slowly his pupils began to condense, and then he struggled violently and pulled the wound and couldn't help but growl. Chang Yu quickly held him down: "Don't panic, don't panic, we are one of our own, we are one of our own..."
"
One of our own? The spy stopped struggling, looked around and slowly lay down: "Who are you?"
Chang Yu glanced inside and whispered: "Li Yan".
The spy said "Oh" and said a name seemingly casually: "Yu Wenbao"
Chang Yu smiled: "Four Records of Sword Blowing".
This is the general code of Li Yan's department that keeps in touch all night. If you look at this, it means you are definitely one of Li Yan's subordinates. Of course, each team has its own code.
Yu Wenbao was a scholar in the Song Dynasty. The word code comes from his "Four Records of Blowing Swords". Needless to say, this code was created by Li Yan, who was a scholar. It is not like the charlatan: the king of heaven covers the tiger of the earth...
The spy heard Chang Yu's answer and breathed a long sigh of relief: "My lord, Yan Wenzhao, what do you call your brother?"
"Just call me shopkeeper. Could it be that Brother Yan was ambushed by thieves?" Chang Yu asked with raised eyebrows. Yan Wenzhao nodded with a sad look on his face: "I am the only one of the seven brothers who escaped."
"From where?"
"In Heyang County, we walked around the mountains for three days and nights and lurked outside Heyang City for several days to detect the deployment of the bandits' troops. When we left, we were discovered by the thieves who chased them all the way... Yan thanked several brothers for saving his life.
Yes." Yan Wenzhao said, struggling to get up, but Chang Yu stopped him: "We are all brothers, no need to be polite."
While talking, Kuang Ren and others also woke up and gathered around to listen to Yan Wenzhao: "The bandit army has nearly five thousand soldiers and horses in Heyang County!"
Everyone was astonished that so many troops were deployed in a small county town! What the intention was was obvious! It could also explain why the rebels had laid such a tight blockade on the outside.
"Shopkeeper, the thieves have more than a thousand troops in Hancheng, and Heyang actually ambushed thousands of troops. The thieves are going to set up their main defense line here!" Kuang Ren exclaimed, Chang Yu nodded and shook his head:
"Maybe, but not necessarily, what if he deliberately let us detect this information."
Everyone was stunned. How could Yan Wenzhao escape with such a tight blockade?
Chang Yu said this, and even Yan Wenzhao himself began to wonder if the rebels had deliberately let loose.
"This is just my guess. We still need more evidence and information to support this conclusion." Chang Yu sighed: "So we have to go again." Then he shouted to the back room: "Dad Yang
