Zhang Peng was locked up in the courtyard again, while Xu Wanyi went to the camp to discuss countermeasures.
The sound of drums and horns shook the sky, and there was a tense atmosphere in the princess's palace. Outside the courtyard, the clanging of swords and armor and the sound of horses and carriages were constantly heard.
Zhang Peng knew that this was Xu Wanyi's only viable force left in the city.
"This woman is not going to really live and die with the city, is she?" Zhang Peng was worried, "If you break the pot, what can I do? The Chakhtuo tribe is a barbarian tribe in the Western Regions. If the city is broken, it will be massacred. My little
Her life is tied to her belt."
Otherwise, do the same trick again?
Zhang Peng suddenly thought of something. He is no longer the same Zhang Peng as before. His water ability is so good, and coupled with his super physical strength after traveling through time, swimming across the Setting Sun River and heading south to escape is no longer an empty promise!
Yes, his life was at stake and he couldn't care about that much. He immediately returned to the bedroom. With the memory of his previous body, he opened the secret compartment under the bed. Sure enough, there were three intact pig urine bubbles hidden inside!
The stupid guy in my predecessor was so hasty when he planned to escape last time that he even forgot to take this thing!
He quickly gathered his equipment, filled up his pig urine, and took advantage of the sun to turn west, and ran away!
After observing for a long time at the back door, and seeing no one around, he reached out from the back door.
"He Bo bless me, let me escape successfully this time," Zhang Peng muttered silently.
But just when he closed the door and turned around, a figure appeared in front of him. This person was young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. The beard on his face had just grown. He was obviously wearing something inappropriate.
He wears well-fitting leather armor, holds an iron sword, and carries an iron-clad wooden shield.
Zhang Peng knew this person. He was a little book boy assigned to Zhang Peng by the princess's palace. His name was Gao Dao. He had been following Zhang Peng for two years and he had always been the most loyal to Zhang Peng. But after all, he was also a member of the princess's palace.
Zhang Peng turned pale with fright, thinking that this was too bad, he had been discovered again, so he had to carry the pig urine bubble behind his back, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Gundam, haha, why are you here?"
"Uncle, are you leaving?" Gundam's mood was obviously not very high.
"No, I just came out to get some fresh air," Zhang Peng quibbled.
"Sure enough, the princess was right," Gao Gao sighed.
Zhang Peng gritted his teeth and silently prepared for the battle. He showed a dagger behind his back. He didn't want to commit murder, but now his life or death was uncertain. If Gundam insisted on stopping him, he had no choice but to fight.
.
"The princess said that if you really want to leave, she won't stop you," Gundam sighed, saying, he put down his shield and took out the extra things he was carrying on his back, "She asked me to take these things
Passed to you."
With that said, under Zhang Peng's surprised gaze, Gundam took out a pair of duck-webbed shoes and a set of anchor crossbows.
"The princess also told me that she was not sure of defending the city this time, so she could only go out to attack the city at night to fight for a chance of survival. As for the Xu family's debt to your Zhang family, I'm afraid she can't repay it, and can only give you a way out," said
After finishing, Gundam handed the webbed shoes and anchor crossbow to Zhang Peng, picked up the shield and left.
"Hey, Gundam, we are master and servant, you can escape with me," Zhang Peng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Gundam was about to go to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, but he, a grown man, had to run away.
He actually felt ashamed.
"No, although Gundam is small, he still has the responsibility to defend Daxia!" Gundam did not agree, and then bowed respectfully to Zhang Peng, "After I leave, be careful all the way. Gundam can no longer serve you."
Then, Zhang Peng saw the thin figure of Gao Da, wearing a large leather armor and carrying a heavy shield, walking farther and farther in the corridor outside the courtyard until he disappeared.
"Haha, a kid with a big butt should imitate others and act like a hero?" Zhang Peng's face flushed with shame, and he could only curse a few words to cheer himself up, which also eliminated most of his shame.
Without any further hesitation, Zhang Peng took the escape tool presented by Xu Wanyi and quickly followed the route that his predecessor had already studied thoroughly, entering the water and swimming.
Half an hour later, Zhang Peng climbed to the other side of the Setting Sun River. It was already the moon rising to the west tower.
Looking back, the entire Setting Sun Pass was lit up by thousands of torches, and the cheers of the soldiers and civilians inside the Pass resounded throughout the night sky.
The city gate opened wide, and a beautiful figure in mysterious armor and black robe took the lead, leading a black cavalry to pour out of the gate like a torrent.
"She went to the night raid after all," Zhang Peng looked at the beautiful figure disappearing into the night from a distance, feeling a sense of loss in his heart, and then resolutely trudged towards the south.
My life as a son-in-law is over, and I am far away from that tigress. Haha, this is something worth celebrating... But why can't I be happy...
The next day, at dawn, the city gate of Setting Sun Pass opened again. Only less than 300 of the original 1,000 fine cavalry returned.
Princess Luanming returned injured, the night attack plan failed, and the people in Setting Sun Pass were in mourning.
However, Princess Luanming still climbed up to the Setting Sun Pass even though she was wounded and wearing armor, to boost her morale and vowed to live and die with the people in the pass. However, when all the soldiers were risking their lives and all the people in the pass were rushing to the city to prepare for the war, the princess fainted on the city wall.
The military doctor discovered that the princess's left arm was injured by a poisonous weapon. He shook his head and sighed, saying that there was nothing he could do and that the princess's life was at stake.
After hearing this, everyone fell into despair again!
Gauda meticulously directed Minzhuang to prepare the rolling wood and hot oil. His eyes were red, and he had obviously just shed tears. He knew that the Setting Sun Pass without the command of the princess would not be able to withstand the attack of Chakhtuo's army, but he still stood firm on his own.
On the job.
"Quick, quick! Bring the city wall up when you are ready. I would rather die than bite a piece of Chakhtuo's flesh. Kill one and you will be enough. Kill two and you will make a profit!"
"Damn it, fight with the barbarians!"
"Yes, whoever takes a step back is a son of a bitch!"
In the pass, under the heavy atmosphere of killing, the situation gradually became a mourning force! At this moment, all the timid and life-saving people in the pass were also aroused to their bloody nature. Under the threat of breaking through the pass and slaughtering the city, although they did not dare to step on the city wall to kill the enemy,
However, he also donated the gold, silver and silk at home to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians.
Gundam gritted his teeth, hearing the bloody voices of the soldiers and civilians, and tightened his grip on the sword in his hand.
At this moment, a white but powerful hand placed on his shoulder. He subconsciously turned around and saw a figure that surprised him.
"Uncle? You didn't leave?" Gao Gao looked at Zhang Peng in surprise, wearing a blue shirt and Confucian robe, with a mixture of surprise and joy on his face.
"Well, even women have gone to the battlefield. I can't be inferior to my own daughter-in-law," Zhang Peng sighed and patted the Zhang family's ancestral medicine box.
"But what can you do when you come back?" Gundam's face became very depressed again.
"Take me to see the princess. I have brought the medicine box with me. Try your best to save her. If I can save her, I will have a plan to defeat the enemy." Zhang Peng smiled slightly and wanted to use his smile to
Cover up the panic inside.
"A plan to repel the enemy? You?" Gundam looked up and down at Zhang Peng suspiciously.
Zhang Peng didn't expect that his first attempt at pretending to be sexy would be questioned by a little book boy. He once again had a new understanding of how useless his predecessor was, but at this time, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. How could he show any weakness!
So, Gundam's head was slapped: "Uncle, do I need to explain my clever plan to you? Quickly lead the way!"
Gundam touched his beaten head. Although he still had doubts, he still took Zhang Peng back to the military camp.
In Xu Wanyi's Chinese army tent, the sword-wielding maids were still sobbing. At this moment, no one had time to pay attention to the "late arrival" of her new husband-in-law.
Zhang Peng looked at Xu Wanyi, who was lying on the couch with her armor removed and a sick look on her face, and said silently in his heart: If I can save you this time, I can repay you for letting me live.
After an examination, it was found that Xu Wanyi's limbs were cold at the moment, she was sweating profusely, her face was pale, her eyelids were drooping, her abdomen was bloated, her body was swollen and bruised, and her heart rhythm was severely arrhythmia.
There were obvious signs of ulceration and abscess in the wound on her left arm. After asking the maid, she learned that Xu Wanyi had vomited many times.
Basically it is definitely snake venom, and most likely it is a combination of multiple snake venoms.
At this time, Zhang Peng had to admire Xu Wanyi's profound internal strength. Otherwise, most people would not be able to persist for such a long time, let alone that she had managed to climb the city wall before.
"What are you crying like? I want to treat the princess now. You all cheer up and listen to my arrangements!" Zhang Peng turned around and ordered in his most stern tone.
The four sword-wielding maids were really shocked by Zhang Peng's momentum and stopped crying one after another. However, they just looked at each other and had no intention of trusting Zhang Peng.
"Why are you still standing there?" Zhang Peng glanced at the maids present with sharp eyes, "Are you trying to delay the princess's treatment?"
"The Zhang family used to be a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Maybe my uncle really has some secret healing skills," one of the sword-wielding maids, who was obviously of a higher rank, spoke first, "my uncle, if you can save the princess,
Jian Pingdan will be sent by my uncle!"
The maids nodded slightly and reluctantly agreed to let Zhang Peng give it a try.
Zhang Peng was speechless. Do I need your consent to save my wife? See you soon! But he was speechless. But he still had to save people, so he sat on the table in the tent and began to draw.
, start arranging tasks while writing.
"I remember that there are masters in laying traps in the army, Jian Ping, go ahead and ask them to bring you a string of tendons!"
"You, ask the general in the army to make me needles, pliers and knives of this style out of fine iron, and then go to the pantry manager in the princess's mansion and ask for a jar of the strongest wine!"
"Quickly find the purple ground flowers and Andrographis paniculata, pound them into pieces and bring them to me!"
"You, take the prescription and grab the medicine quickly. I will personally cook the Wuhu Rhinoceros Horn Gongdu Powder!"
After time travel, he merged with the memory of his predecessor, and naturally inherited the ancestral medical skills of his predecessor. The systematic precision of Western medicine and the rigorous syndrome differentiation of Chinese medicine have been integrated in his mind.
Next, he took out the golden needles from the medicine box and injected Xu Wanyi to prevent the toxin from spreading.
The sword servant who took the medicine was the first to come back, and under Zhang Peng's command, he set up a medicine pot to cook it.
After a stick of incense, the sword servant who went out to collect fresh herbs came back. Zhang Peng ordered her to pound the herbs into a paste.
After two incense sticks, Jian Ping came back with Jian Shi, who went to make surgical instruments, and then it was Zhang Peng's performance time.
First, I performed debridement, disinfection and suture on Xu Wanyi's wound and applied herbal medicine externally. Finally, I divided the decoction three times for Xu Wanyi to take internally. I was busy until almost noon.
Xu Wanyi seemed to have had a dream. She seemed to have dreamed of the scene where the coward Zhang Peng was riding a horse and charging into battle on the battlefield. She woke up leisurely with a rather absurd mood. When she opened her eyes, she saw that
The figure in the dream was standing in his own Chinese army tent.
"Are you awake?" Zhang Peng turned sideways at 45 degrees towards Xu Wanyi, his handsome face facing the ray of morning light shining from the top of the tent. This was the perfect angle he found specially.
"Ahem, why are you here?" Xu Wanyi felt that her internal strength had not yet recovered, but the snake venom in her body had disappeared, but there was still some pain in the wound on her left arm.
"Come to save you," Zhang Peng still maintained his posture.
"Okay, I'll thank you later," Xu Wanyi didn't know how to talk to Zhang Peng, so she simply stopped looking at him and shouted to the outside of the tent, "Jianping, wear armor for me, I want to go to the pass to supervise the battle!"
She lifted the quilt and was about to stand up, but she stumbled and couldn't stand still. Fortunately, Zhang Peng had quick eyes and quick hands and leaned over to help her.
"There's no need to wear armor," Zhang Peng said with a confident smile, "Believe me, I'll help you climb the border. I've already thought of a plan to repel the enemy."
Xu Wanyi's eyes widened and she looked at Zhang Peng suspiciously: "A plan to retreat from the enemy? You?"
Zhang Peng's smile froze... What do you mean? This expression again...
Chaktu's army marched unhurriedly. After the successful counterattack last night, the eldest prince Zayan did not order a rush march.
"Brother, why don't you take advantage of the victory and attack at the tail end? Isn't it better to take the Setting Sun Pass slowly and in one go?" The fourth prince, Mele, caught up with Zha Yan on horseback and asked in confusion.
Zayan stroked his beard like the wise men from the Central Plains did: "As you said, we can indeed win the Setting Sun Pass in one go, but the price is too high."
"What price? They have all been defeated by us. The woman Luan Ming has also been poisoned with a hidden weapon. People in the pass must be in panic and have no intention of defending the city." Mo Le insisted.
"Oh? Is there a possibility that everyone in the city will become mourning soldiers and swear to live and die with the Setting Sun Pass?" Zhayan smiled and looked at his younger brother, who is a compatriot from the same mother. He did not say anything in detail, but just mentioned
Clicked.
After hearing this, Moller was obviously taken aback, and then nodded thoughtfully: "Brother is absolutely right. The soldiers and people of Canyang Pass have had a feud with us for hundreds of years, and the possibility of the whole city mourning the soldiers is indeed greater."
"So, I marched slowly and surrounded slowly, just to wait for their mourning spirit to vent and make them fearful. When the morale of the army is unstable, we will naturally be able to successfully overcome the pass!" Zayan smiled.
explained.
Just when Moller suddenly realized it and was about to give his elder brother a rainbow fart, the former army scout came to report him quickly, his tone was a little panicked.
"The eldest prince, the fourth prince! There is something strange in the Setting Sun Pass ahead! Please come forward and have a look in person to make a decision!"
"Oh? Weird? Could it be that they invited reinforcements to help?" The eldest prince's face instantly became solemn.
The former army scout looked troubled, but he could not explain what he saw, so he had to tell the truth: "Go back to the eldest prince, there are no reinforcements at Setting Sun Pass!"
"There are no reinforcements, so why are you panicking?" Moller angrily yelled.
"Going back to the Fourth Prince, the city gate of Canyang Pass in front is wide open. There are no defenders behind the gate, not even the banner commander. There are only two old soldiers under the gate sweeping the fallen leaves, and behind the gate there is a man in a green robe playing the piano.
While we were having fun, Princess Luanming was cooking wine with her, and there was a young scholar roasting chicken wings at the same time. It was so pleasant!"
The eldest prince Zayan suddenly frowned and fell into deep thought. He accidentally broke off one of his beards without reacting.
"What? Are you sure you read it right? The old soldier is sweeping the floor? Luan Ming is playing the piano and drinking with the Confucian scholar? There is also a book boy roasting chicken wings? Do you know the consequences of falsely reporting military intelligence?" Moller was confused, he was fighting like this
I haven't seen anything like this in years.
"Back to the Fourth Prince, what I said is absolutely true, but...just..." The scout broke out in a cold sweat.
"Just what?" Moller yelled.
"I guessed the grilled chicken wings, but they could also be duck wings or goose wings!" The scout swallowed.
