Late at night!
In the city wall on the top of the city, the charcoal fire burned quietly, dispelling the chill of the autumn night.
The copper kettle was boiling, and Li Miaozhen soaked the bloodstained sweat towel in warm water and gently washed it. The copper basin was instantly red.
"What is going on? If he continues to bleed like this, he will not survive tonight!"
Zhang Kaitai paced back and forth anxiously in the hall.
Other generals were sitting, standing, or scratching their heads, anxious and worried, but helpless.
After Zhang Kaitai brought Xu Qi back to the top of the city, he was already unconscious and barely breathing. He tore off his clothes to check the wounds. Everyone was shocked. There was no intact part of his body, and there were cracks all over his body.
Blood kept oozing out of those porcelain-like cracked wounds.
Especially the hideous wound on his waist that almost cut him in half, which made Zhang Kaitai and others shudder. Even if they were injured so badly, if they did not receive timely treatment, they would probably die within an hour.
A fourth-grade warrior does not have the immortal body of a third-grade warrior, nor does he have the blood spirit technique of a wizard that can activate the blood and heal injuries.
As a Taoist disciple, Li Miaozhen still has some knowledge of medical skills. After all, if you want to make pills, you have to be proficient in pharmacology. And she brought some pills for treating external injuries with her. .
But these pills had no effect on Xu Qian'an's injuries.
Swallowing them did not work.
Grinding them into powder and applying them on the wound did not work at all.
"This won't work. We have to take him back to the capital. Only the Sitianjian can save him." Li Miaozhen sighed.
She didn't know what was going on with the nearly fatal wound on her waist.
But Li Miaozhen guessed that the phenomenon of his body cracking like porcelain was related to the Confucian saying that one's words should be followed by the law, and it came from the backlash of magic.
Just like when he tried to defeat himself and Chu Yuanzhen, he died.
Li Miaozhen recalled that Xu Qian'an used Confucian magic to strengthen his soul, so his soul suffered backlash. This time, his body cracked and bled, which should have enhanced his Qi.
"Sorry to bother you, Taoist Li."
Zhang Kaitai was refreshed and stared at her anxiously.
Li Miaozhen shook her head slowly, looking gloomy: "My golden elixir is in his body? The golden elixir stabilized his injuries to a certain extent, otherwise? He might have......"
If she didn't take back the golden elixir? How could she fly on the sword?
If she took back the golden elixir, maybe before she reached the capital? This man would have passed away.
Zhang Kaitai and other generals had deep despair on their faces.
Her warm fingers gently brushed Xu Qian'an's cheek, and a clear sadness surged in her heart. You saved Yuyang Pass and saved these fourteen thousand soldiers, but what can I do to save you?
She was sad for a moment, and suddenly had an idea. She reached into her arms and took out the fragments of the Earth Book, while walking out of the city wall, saying:
"Please help take care of him. I'll be back soon."
Li Miaozhen opened the door of the city wall and was suddenly stunned. Her sight was full of dark figures.
On the horse road, with the entrance of the city wall as the center, the crowd spread to both sides, all the way to the dark depths that could not be seen.
The whole place was silent, thousands of people, no sound at all, as if they were afraid of disturbing the sleeping people inside.
"You can save Xu Yinluo, you can save Xu Yinluo, right......"
In the crowd, a soldier said with a pleading face.
They heard all the conversations inside.
When Li Miaozhen looked at them again, she found that the men who had been licking blood on the blades had red eyes.
At this moment, Li Miaozhen deeply felt what it meant to "feel like being hit in the chest".
"I will..." She nodded gently and retreated back to the city wall.
After closing the door, she did not turn around. She turned her back to Zhang Kaitai and others, took out the fragments of the Earth Book, and sent a letter:
[Everyone, Xu Qiyan and I are at Yuyang Pass on the border of Xiangzhou. He is seriously injured and dying. His life is hanging by a thread...]
Li Miaozhen divided the letter into three sections and described Xu Qiyan's situation in a concise manner.
Finally, the letter asked: [What should we do now? ]
[Six: Is the situation of Lord Xu so bad? Amitabha, I want to go to the northeast now to save these barbarians. ]
Through the fragments of the Earth Book, everyone can also feel the anxiety and worry of Master Hengyuan, as well as the impotent rage.
[One: Your golden elixir is in his body, can you hold on for the time being? ]
It seems that every time when it comes to Xu Qi'an, Huai Qing becomes very active, changing her silent style... Li Miaozhen frowned secretly and replied by letter:
[Yes, without the golden elixir, I can't fly with the sword. If the golden elixir is gone, Xu Qi'an will not be able to hold on and return to Beijing. I, I can't take risks with his life. ]
What do you mean by can't take risks with his life? According to your character as Feiyan, it shouldn't be 30% destiny and 70% hard work. I will take you back to Beijing now. Whether you live or die depends on your luck. Is this the case... Chu Yuanzhen couldn't help but complain in his heart.
[One: How long can you hang on? ]
[Two: There will be no danger to your life before noon tomorrow, but if the golden elixir is taken out, you may only live for an hour at most, or even shorter. ]
Without waiting for Huai Qing to reply, Chu Yuanzhen took the lead and said by letter:
[Then it's easy. If you can't go back, let the people from the Sitianjian come over. Yang Qianhuan's teleportation array is faster than flying with a sword. He has enough time to rush over from the capital and should be able to return to the capital before noon tomorrow. ]
Li Miaozhen's eyes lit up.
This idea is very simple, but she didn't think of it. It seems that she is too concerned.
Chu Yuanzhen continued to send a letter: [It is curfew now. Lina and Hengyuan cannot walk in the inner city. Number One, this matter can only be handed over to you. ]
Number One is in a high position in the court, and I think the curfew can't trap him.
[One: Good. ]
Lina breathed a sigh of relief and also sent a letter: [If you have any difficulties, just tell us. It's great that we can deal with problems and solve difficulties together. ]
You don't seem to have done anything. What's wrong with this tone as if you are an important participant...... The members of the Tiandihui all have similar complaints in their hearts.
[One: Number Four, how is the war in the north? ]
[Four: The Jingguo Cavalry has withdrawn. I thought they would fight for several more months, but I didn't expect that Duke Wei would reach the headquarters of the Wushen Cult in just ten days...]
After he sent this message, he suddenly stopped talking.
After a few seconds, No. 1 Huaiqing changed the subject: [Li Miaozhen, can you tell me the details now?]
Chu Yuanzhen sighed in his heart and actively participated in the new topic, saying:
[Can you tell us the details now? Was he injured by Nurhejia? I remember that the king of Yan State was at the peak of the fourth rank of the dual system, which is almost the strongest level under the third rank.]
Li Miaozhen only said that the 80,000 troops of Yan and Kang countries attacked the city. He didn't have the time and mood to describe the incident in detail. Chu Yuanzhen felt that with Xu Qi'an's golden body and combat power, an ordinary fourth rank would not beat him to death.
Li Miaozhen, who had put down the heavy stone in his heart, was not as urgent as before, and sent a letter saying: [Xu Qi'an was injured by digging the formation alone. ]
This message was sent, and she was about to continue writing, when Chu Yuanzhen sent a concise message: [Nonsense! ]
[One: How can you be so nonsense? ]
Huaiqing frowned and felt angry. This was indeed what Xu Qiyan would do. But this was not inconsistent with Huaiqing's anger because of worry.
[Six: Lord Xu is too impulsive. How is this different from committing suicide? ]
It was indeed committing suicide. Considering Xu Qiyan's current situation, if it weren't for Li Miaozhen's golden elixir, he would have died.
Lina held the fragments of the Earth Book and frowned. If she had known earlier, she would have gone to Yuyang Pass with him that day. No matter how many troops you had, you would have smashed them all to death.
Really, let others finish their words....... Li Miaozhen curled her lips and sent a message calmly:
[He alone dug a formation and almost blocked all the elite troops of the enemy. He killed the enemy twice and the morale of the enemy was broken, and they fled in panic. The defenders cleaned up the bodies after the battle. It was roughly estimated that he killed at least 9,000 people in today's battle.
[Yesterday, when defending the city, he killed Sugudu Red Bear. Today, after breaking through the formation, he killed Yanjun Nurhejia alone and scared off the remaining 50,000 enemy troops. ]
There was silence in the Dishu chat group.
There were only a series of question marks in the minds of the Tiandihui members.
One person killed 9,000 enemies and killed two peak fourth-grade masters in a row, and one of them was known as the strongest one under the third-grade? This is fake, this must be fake....... The scholar has a calm mind, and Chu Yuanzhen is also a knight who has traveled in Jiuzhou for several years. He has enough knowledge and, but now he just wants to pull Li Miaozhen's collar and tell her not to joke.
Lina didn't believe it either. Although she was not very smart, she would be excited if it involved fighting and practicing.
Hengyuan couldn't believe what Li Miaozhen said. Such a record could probably only be achieved by the third-grade master.
She remembered that Xu Qi'an was a fifth-grade Huajin. With a fifth-grade cultivation, he would be exhausted if he killed two thousand enemies, let alone nine thousand enemies.
Li Miaozhen would not lie, especially this lie was meaningless... Huaiqing's heart moved, and he sent a letter: [What is his trump card? ]
[Two: He reached the fourth grade overnight. ]
It's a pity that it was separated by the fragments of the Earth Book, otherwise Li Miaozhen would be able to hear the sighs of Hengyuan Chu Yuanzhen and others.
Chu Yuanzhen was both moved and sympathetic. He remembered that before the expedition, Xu Qi'an had been stuck in the "intention" level and could never break through. He himself was not particularly anxious, and practiced step by step, with an attitude that it was a good thing to have an epiphany, and if he couldn't, he would take it slowly.
To put it nicely, it was a good mentality, and to put it bluntly, it was laziness.
Unexpectedly, after Wei Yuan's death, he was promoted to the fourth grade overnight.
The death of that man must have been a big blow to him.
At this moment, tears seemed to flash in Huaiqing's eyes. He was digging the formation alone, regardless of life and death. Isn't it a kind of heartbreak.
Suddenly, there was no sound in the Earth Book group.
Li Miaozhen waited for a long time, and seeing that no one spoke, she knew that they were immersed in their own emotions and didn't want to continue to pass the book.
She put away the fragments of the Earth Book, turned back to the simple bed, and said:
"Before dawn, Yang Qianhuan from the Sitianjian will come."
Zhang Kaitai let out a long breath, and he was actually a little tired after great joy and sorrow.
The soldiers showed a sincere smile. Xu Yinluo's death here would be an indelible shadow in their lives, and they would live in self-blame and guilt for the rest of their lives.
Zhang Kaitai's stern face forced a smile:
"Okay, go out and inform the brothers to disperse quickly. Those who need to rest should rest, those who need to be bandaged should be bandaged, don't stand there, you are all tired after fighting for a day."
The soldiers refused to leave. They were all straightforward and stubborn. They would not leave until Xu Yinluo got better.
A few tough guys even stuck their necks out and argued with Zhang Kaitai.
So they were left alone.
......
In the wilderness a hundred miles away from Yuyang Pass, a figure in white flashed one after another, and a series of clear light array patterns lit up under his feet. He flashed so fast that the clear light array patterns were closely connected, like raindrops hitting the water.
Soon, the outline of this border city was looming in the darkness.
"The bloody air is rising to the sky. A fierce war just happened here..."
The figure in white spoke in a low voice, like a compassionate hermit.
After another flash of teleportation, he arrived at the top of the city wall. He turned around and was surprised to find that there were only a few soldiers patrolling on the horse road.
When he looked towards the city wall, he finally understood the reason. It turned out that the soldiers were all gathered near the city wall.
The figure in white was inevitably confused. What were these crude soldiers doing in the middle of the night without resting or guarding the city?
"There are a lot of people. Fortunately, I have prepared!"
The figure in white chuckled, revealing the confidence and indifference that everything is under control.
........
Li Miaozhen, who was dozing at the table, felt a chill in his heart, and then woke up. He looked up and saw a man in white standing in the room.
He was wearing a veil, and under the veil was a mask, and under the mask seemed to be covered with cloth.
"Yang Qianhuan?"
Li Miaozhen asked tentatively.
"I didn't expect that even though I have dressed so low-key, I still can't cover up my innate brilliance. Taoist Li, it seems that Yang has left an indelible impression in your heart."
Yang Qianhuan said happily.
I asked someone to invite you here...... Li Miaozhen was also very happy. Although Yang Qianhuan has a weird personality, he is very reliable and never absent or late.
"Why do you dress like this?" She asked in confusion.
"There are too many people here. No matter where I stand, someone will see my face. This does not fit my style as a hermit and my loneliness with my back to the world." Yang Qianhuan's voice was low.
Li Miaozhen called him an expert. The third disciple of the supervisor had an unimaginable obsession with seeing people from the back of his head.
She didn't say anything nonsense and hurriedly said, "Go and see how Xu Qi'an is doing?"
Yang Qianhuan sat by the bed, examining Xu Qi'an, grabbed his wrist to feel his pulse, and after a long time, he sighed with regret and shook his head.
Li Miaozhen's heart suddenly sank, and the joy that had just risen was like a flame extinguished by cold water.
"He, he is hopeless?"
"Oh no, he can still be saved."
Li Miaozhen stared at him blankly: "Then why did you shake your head and sigh just now?"
Yang Qianhuan answered seriously: "Nothing special. It's just that this can better show my importance, right? At the critical moment, I have to take action."
Li Miaozhen wanted to chop someone.
"How did he get hurt like this?" Yang Qianhuan asked.
.......Li Miaozhen narrowed her eyes and said faintly: "You don't know?"
Yang Qianhuan snorted: "Why should I know, do you think I am imitating him like Sister Caiwei?"
Li Miaozhen smiled.
