Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...
284 General Poisoned
Lying safely on the car mat, he closed his eyes, curled up motionless, thinking in his mind what kind of poison it was most likely and the corresponding antidote for these poisons.
He brought a lot of poisons in his medical box, but there were too many poisons in the world, not to mention that the other side was a group of four foreigners. Even though he had seen all kinds of poison prescriptions, he still had no idea.
What he had was basically the same as his master's medical box, all made in the Medical Valley, except that his box also had a lot of poisonous herbs and medicinal materials in the interlayer, which he brought with him to make medicine with Xiaoshan.
The master is right, the general must not be in danger. Once the general falls, the morale of the army will be shaken, and the enemy will be waiting for an opportunity to strike, plus some of the soldiers will sneak in through the tunnels. If they attack from both inside and outside, the consequences will be disastrous.
Born into this world and having family members he cares about, he wants to live a good life instead of losing his life prematurely in war and chaos.
He thought of the formation that Master Hu had taught him. Since Master Hu could defeat thousands of troops by himself, and he was young and weak, and this time he was accidentally sent to the front line to rescue the general, could he also use the formation? There were even two formation plates in the medical box.
He knew many kinds of large formations, but he had never really used them, so he didn't have full confidence. Besides, his master wouldn't let him reveal too much, and the Great Zhou wasn't facing a life-and-death situation yet. But he could set up some small formations, such as trapping formations, hiding formations, and so on.
The carriage was a bit bumpy, and Ping An actually fell asleep in the bumps.
Sun Sicheng and Wan Li each used one leg to hold Ping An to prevent him from rolling around in the carriage.
"Wanli, I regret bringing such a young child to the border town, thinking that he would not go to the front line. In fact, I should have expected that when people come here, many things are beyond their control, especially the other party's shameless use of the rat hole method. In this border town, there may be a few foreigners who pop up from somewhere, and it is hard to guard against them."
Wanli thought so in his heart, but his master was a little confused, so he couldn't add fuel to the fire.
"Young Master, think about it this way. You and Master Ping An have come here and saved so many people. This is a great deed. You may think that I have lived in the temple for several years and am used to thinking in this way.
But think about it again, as Young Master Ping'an said, without a country there is no home. Once the Great Zhou is destroyed, all the people of the Great Zhou will become slaves of a conquered nation, including you and me, including Young Master Ping'an, and everyone else.
As long as we are careful, we should be fine. We all carry weapons and several kinds of poisons. We also know Kung Fu and the Snow Step, so we should be fine."
Sun Sicheng sighed and the car slowed down significantly.
He opened the curtains a little. It was already dusk. The moonlight was bright in the afternoon, but it was obscured by some clouds. The moon was sometimes visible and sometimes hidden. When it really fell to the ground, it was already hazy.
The two carriages had already lit up their death lanterns, and the cavalry in front were leading the way steadily, as if they had already adapted to the dimness.
There were six people coming from the front line, one military officer and five soldiers. The military officer said only two sentences from beginning to end: "Please follow us closely, sir. The situation is urgent and we have to travel overnight.
He asked what kind of poison it was, and the answer was that he didn't know.
As we passed a bend, a soldier in front fell off his horse with the sound of an arrow passing through.
Wanli pushed his master onto the car mat and jumped out of the car.
The military officer was also very smart. He quickly leaned against the mountain with his horse and went to Sun Sicheng's car regardless of the danger and took the horse to a dark place.
"Young Master, be careful. There shouldn't be many people there. They came out of the tunnel earlier. I'll go ahead and see if I can catch them alive."
"You go ahead."
Wanli had already brought another car to a place where it would be easier to protect.
Ping An woke up when there was a commotion ahead. He looked through the car window at the shallow hills not far away. His eyes were especially good at this time. Under the hazy moonlight, he could see almost as well as during the day.
There was clearly another person lying in ambush there, only two hundred meters away from him. As far as he knew, the maximum range of bows and arrows in this dynasty was within two hundred meters. The man would not have much hope at such a distance, and the person who just shot the soldier should be his accomplice.
Erqiang and Fang Wu helped carry the injured.
"Erqiang, carry the injured into the car."
"Yes, sir, but you can't light the lamp now."
Sun Sicheng thought about it and said, "Wait a minute, I'll put a mat on the ground, and you can lift the person on it. It's safe, you don't have to get off the car, just continue to lie in the car."
It's ok to simply deal with it under the moonlight, but it's really irrational to light a lamp now, as that would undoubtedly be making things difficult for others.
Ping An did not argue with his master. His eyes were fixed on the man. The soldiers here were all besieging the man who shot the arrow. He could vaguely hear that there were two more people surrounding him.
This person was ignored by everyone.
He could even see the man moving slowly, aiming for their car.
Ping'an looked at his black suit. Before going out, Uncle Ming asked them all to change into such clothes. Now it seems that the old ones are still the best.
He quietly got out of the car, holding a sharp dagger in his hand. He could easily get close to him and kill him by stepping on the snow. At this moment, he did not think about the fact that he had never killed anyone in his two lives.
"Master Ping'an, what do you want to do?" Xiao Wu came to his side at some point and asked in a low voice.
Ping An glanced at the master who was busy pulling out the arrow from the injured person under the carriage.
"Xiao Wu, don't make a sound. There's a guy over there aiming arrows at our car, but he's a little far away. He's slowly moving down. I'm going to use the Snow Step to kill him."
Xiao Wu has been practicing martial arts since he was young, so he has sharp eyes and ears. He vaguely saw the man and said, "Master Ping An, I'll go and kill him."
"Xiao Wu, I'll go from this side, you go from that side, let's go together, and take bigger steps."
"Know."
Xiao Wu stopped trying to stop him, as this was not too difficult for him and his young master. The Snow-Walking Step was different from the other light skills. One was fast, and the other was strange and erratic. It was like using an arrow. Before you could aim accurately, the person would have moved to another place.
"Let's go." Ping'an said the word "let's go" and the people went out. Although it was an uphill road, fortunately the mountain was not high, just a shallow hill.
Er Qiang has already noticed something is wrong: "Master, Ping An and Xiao Wu went to the mountain over there."
"You little brat." Sun Sicheng didn't care about the wounded and moved to the side of the car. Two black shadows were on the left and right, like bats flying at night. "Erqiang, don't move. They are fine."
Erqiang and Fang Wu knew that they were not well enough trained in snow walking, and catching up now might ruin Ping An's plan.
Lin Feng had already used the Snow Stepping Step to catch up. His kung fu was second only to Master Ping'an and Xiao Wu, and even Ruyi could not surpass him.
The man who was preparing to take the opportunity to shoot a sneak attack just realized something was wrong when two people, one on the left and one on the right, appeared in front of him. Each of them stabbed a dagger into his shoulder with two "puff, puff" sounds.
The reason I stabbed him in the shoulder was to leave him alive and see if he could spit out something.
Xiao Wu restrained the man with one hand, while Ping An directly hit him on the chin. These foreigners committed suicide once they heard that they were caught.
In the moonlight, the poison was indeed found in his back teeth.
Lin Feng had already rushed over: "Master Ping An, the eldest master knows."
Ping An carefully wrapped the medicine in a handkerchief and said, "Lin Feng, search his body to see if there is anything. This bow is good, it belongs to you. Xiao Wu, the scimitar on this man looks rare, too. You can take it."
He has no habit of handing over things. If he has good things, he will definitely arm his men so that they can better protect him.
"Oh." Both of them were happy. The one who was caught could only watch his things being taken away but was powerless to do anything.
"Xiao Wu, Lin Feng, take the people away. Be careful, we may not catch all of them."
