Ever since she was a child, Ruanruan clung to a vase left by her mother. One day, while her father was on a business trip, she unexpectedly heard voices speaking from inside the vase.
During ...
The military doctor immediately handed the bandaged wound in his hand to the attendant, and took Gu Sanlang's pulse himself.
He quickly took out a bottle from his sleeve, opened it and let Gu Sanlang smell it.
Gu Sanlang's expression gradually relaxed, and he leaned weakly against the back of his chair.
"Master Gu, you... this cold has damaged your lungs. If there's no cure, I'm afraid you won't survive more than half a month."
The military doctor spoke reluctantly.
"It's okay. I know my illness well. Even if there is medicine, it will only delay my life."
Gu Sanlang pursed his lips and smiled again, saying, "It's better to die and put an end to it all than to live like that."
"Who knows, Doctor Luo Shen might have a solution." said the military doctor.
Gu Sanlang waved his hand and said, "He has seen this disease before. If it was effective, he wouldn't have waited until now."
The military doctor said, "Well, in any case, let's wait until His Highness returns to discuss everything."
Gu Sanlang looked up outside the city. If His Highness could get support, he would look forward to His Highness returning to the city.
If no one dares to support, it would be better for Your Highness to return alone.
Instead, he hopes that His Highness can live well!
"General, Lord Gu, look, why are there another group of Northern Rong cavalrymen coming up ahead?"
The soldiers beside him seemed to have noticed something, their expressions changed and they shouted loudly.
Rong Qing was helped up from the ground and looked at the crowd of people.
In the distance, a group of Beirong cavalry rushed into the Beirong army.
"Urgent news!"
The Northern Rong cavalry shouted, "Your Highness, urgent news!"
The second prince Yelu, who was sitting on the ox cart, called people forward with a calm expression.
The Beirong soldiers on the iron cavalry immediately dismounted from their horses and knelt on the ground to salute.
"What? Did you kill the King of Jin?"
Prince Yelu II was holding a beef leg bone covered in meat in his hand. He chewed on it while saying, "Where's the corpse? Why did you come back with so few people?"
"Your Highness, thunder!"
The Beirong cavalrymen on the ground widened their eyes and said hurriedly, "It's thunder from the sky!"
"What thunder? I think you are stupid. You can't even speak clearly." Prince Yelu II was a little impatient and threw the beef leg bone in his hand to the person serving the plate next to him.
"Your Highness, let's withdraw our troops quickly. They... Prince Jin and his men are protected by heavenly thunder!" The Northern Rong cavalryman said anxiously, trembling.
"Many of our cavalry soldiers were killed in the explosion, and we were lucky to escape."
"Your Highness, they will be here soon. When they come, we will all be finished."
Prince Yelu II clearly didn't believe it. "What nonsense are you talking about, Tianlei?"
"Could it be that you couldn't defeat King Jin, so you sneaked back and are afraid of being punished, so you made up an excuse?"
"What I said is absolutely true, there is absolutely no lie!" The Beirong soldier knelt on the ground and raised his hand to swear.
"Your Highness, General Lian Siye was killed by their thunderbolts."
The military advisor beside him said, "Your Highness, what they said is probably true, but the thunderbolt must have been some trick used by the King of Jin to scare them."
"Why don't we quickly attack the city? No matter what tricks the King of Jin has, as long as we threaten the people of Qingzhou City, he won't dare to act rashly!"
The second prince of Yelu pursed his lips and said, "Okay!"
"Just do as the military advisor says and attack the city immediately!"
The massive Northern Rong army took action and deployed their troops at the city gate.
The leading soldier waved the military flag in his hand, and a group of soldiers held a large round wooden stake in their hands, looking ready to go.
Above the gate of Qingzhou City.
"Oh no, General, they are going to attack the city!" said the soldier next to him nervously.
"Send someone to guard the city gate!"
Rong Qing clenched his fists and spoke loudly.
Gu Sanlang said, "They didn't wait so long. This means that there has been a turn for the better on His Highness' side. That's why they are so anxious to attack the city."
"We must defend the city and wait for His Highness to return."
"I'll go to the city gate and watch. You ask people to throw stones on the city wall!" Rong Qing covered the wound on his abdomen and walked down the city wall with difficulty, enduring the pain.
"General!" The attendant hurried over to support him and walked down step by step.
People outside the city shouted loudly.
"I advise you to stop struggling in vain. You won't be able to hold on for much longer!"
"Since you insist on defending to the death, don't blame us!"
"Bang!" The Beirong army smashed the city gate with tree stumps, causing the gate to cave inward.
The soldiers of Qingzhou rushed to the city gate and blocked it with their flesh and blood.
The soldiers on the city wall used bows and arrows and threw stones at the people below the city, but they were no match for the Northern Rong army that kept climbing up the city wall.
"Bang!" The city gate shook violently, and the soldiers gritted their teeth and held on.
A crack was knocked open in the tall door.
The Qingzhou soldiers in the city shouted with tears in their mouths: "We swear to defend Qingzhou to the death!"
"Soldiers, we must wait for the prince to return!"
They swarmed in, blocking the gap with their bodies and allowing the enemy's sharp knives to pierce their bodies.
“Boom…bang!”
There was a loud and deafening sound that made everyone stunned for a moment.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
There were several more loud thunders.
It was like the sound of the earth roaring, and it made their hearts stop for a moment in fear.
All I heard was the people on the city gate shouting, "Great! The prince is back!"
"The prince has returned with the thunder, and we have secured Qingzhou."
The soldiers in the city cried out in tears, "Did you hear that? The prince is back!"
"Brothers, let's hold on a little longer. The prince has returned to the city to save us!"
They all seemed to have souls, and they boosted their morale. Taking advantage of the moment when the Beirong army outside the door was stunned, they immediately blocked the gap.
