Chapter 434 Kill him

Three days later, Gu Chengzhou successfully completed his mission, and all the warhorses of the Western Qiang collapsed overnight.

The Western Qiang had no choice but to desperately save the horse first.

An army without cavalry is much less effective at fighting, so they temporarily halted their operations.

After Gu Chengzhou went into the main tent to report, he came out.

Qiaoxiu happened to be passing by carrying a bunch of medicines, and wrinkled her nose.

"You stink again."

So what if I smell bad?

funny.

Whoever is fighting outside still smells sweet. Does this little girl think he can take a shower while he's fighting?

His personal guard whispered from behind, "Young general... um, general, Doctor Qiaoxiu is just concerned about you, afraid that you have pus again."

pus?

What does that mean?

There was only one spot where he was oozing pus!

Gu Chengzhou's eyes widened in surprise.

Really?

No, no.

Qiaoxiu cursed inwardly: "Ungrateful wretch."

However, having witnessed so much death and devastation these past few days, she felt heavy-hearted and had a sense of respect and pity for the soldiers.

Gu Chengzhou had just returned from a mission and didn't care about his own injuries. He figured it was fine if she wasted her medicine, and it didn't matter if it smelled bad.

"Go apply the medicine quickly." Qiaoxiu unusually didn't argue with her.

He took the medicine and went over.

Her face had thinned, and her eyes were bloodshot; she looked very tired.

Gu Chengzhou was somewhat stunned.

The guards spoke up for her again, "General, please be polite to Doctor Qiaoxiu. She treats many brothers' injuries every day and works very hard."

"Stop talking nonsense! I really have pus again. Call Sixi over to scrape it off for me."

pain.

It really hurts.

My skin was numb from riding the horse, and now it's burning hot.

Xiaobing called Sixi over.

Who knew that Si Xi would say one sentence and then rush off to treat someone else.

"Changing doctors midway through treatment is a major taboo! Let Sister Qiaoxiu come!"

"..."

Si Xi ran too fast; he didn't even ask where the injury was!

So, it really was Qiaoxiu who scraped the pus and applied medicine to him earlier?

Gu Chengzhou looked at the soldier in disbelief.

"Oh, General, it's alright. I covered it for you."

call--

Although it was embarrassing, there was nothing that could be done at the time, and all the military doctors were extremely busy.

Children of soldiers, don't worry about these things.

The soldier stammered, "It's just... it's just that the cover is crooked..."

Gu Chengzhou: "..."

He kicked it right away.

"What good are you anyway!"

"Report—Young General!"

A person came running and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye.

"Young General! His Highness has been spotted! Smoke has been detected in the mountains between Gucheng and Songcheng! Furthermore, the Western Liao has deployed 50,000 troops into the mountains! They must be chasing after His Highness!"

Your Highness is in danger!

Gu Chengzhou quickly returned to the main tent.

Inside the main tent, Lu Qingqing, Gu Chengye, and the strategist were discussing defenses.

What are you digging trenches for, and burying things?

Gu Chengzhou ignored all of this. How to deploy troops and make defenses was his elder brother's and the strategist's business. Now that there was Lu Qingqing as well, he just needed to focus on fighting.

"We have news from His Highness!"

As soon as Gu Chengzhou explained the situation, the strategist immediately produced the blueprints.

"We actually made it this far!"

Gu Chengye and the strategist were greatly alarmed.

Your Highness hasn't left the snow forest for so many days; something bad is bound to happen!

Even if they don't die in battle, they'll freeze to death!

They'll either freeze to death or starve to death!

Even if they don't starve to death, they'll disturb the hibernating wild beasts and get eaten!

Ptooey!

Your Highness is the true Son of Heaven, you will not die!

"They've got their eyes on His Highness!"

"Quickly, go to their rescue! His Highness cannot be harmed!"

"Bring more men. Don't worry about this place for now. Even if the Western Qiang return, as long as His Highness is safe, we can take it back!"

Gu Chengzhou accepted the order and looked up at Lu Qingqing, who was forcibly enduring it.

He promised, "I will definitely bring His Highness back."

"I'll go with you."

Gu Chengzhou was taken aback.

Gu Chengye had already given the order: "Protect Miss Lu and bring His Highness back."

"Yes, brother."

Gu Chengzhou quickly reorganized his forces, leaving only 5,000 men in the camp, excluding the wounded.

The elder brother said that these five thousand men were reserved to protect everyone during the retreat when the Western Qiang attacked.

The army set off immediately.

They watched as the large and imposing army quickly left the military camp.

After seeing Lu Qingqing off, Qiaoxiu frowned and asked, "Is Gu Chengzhou made of iron? He just got back and he's already leaving again?"

Si Xi sighed, his voice like a duck's: "What can we do? Do you think there's anyone else in this military camp who can handle things besides him?"

Qiaoxiu looked at him and said, "What did you eat to grow so fast? You're a head taller than me now!"

"Would you like some homemade height-increasing pills?"

Si Xi took one out and put it in his mouth, then gave her another one.

"Really?" Qiaoxiu also stuffed some into her mouth.

The next second, he vomited it out with a "pfft".

"Lu Sixi!"

This is clearly a mud ball!

"Hehehe..." Sixi stuck out his tongue and showed off triumphantly.

There's nothing in his mouth!

Last time, Qiaoxiu tricked him into trying the medicine, causing him to have diarrhea for several days. This is her revenge!

Qiaoxiu rolled up her sleeves, ready to teach a lesson.

A soldier shouted urgently, "Two little miracle doctors, hurry, hurry, several people have suddenly developed a high fever!"

Their childish behavior vanished instantly, and they ran quickly toward the wounded and sick camp.

...

Western Liao military camp.

A group of people surrounded the King of Western Liao.

They were all furious and aggressive, and their anger was directed at one person.

Yelü Chen, the son whom the King of Western Liao had just found.

The Imperial Advisor said that he personally witnessed the Daqian people who attacked that day and night speaking with Yelü Chen.

The King of Western Liao did not believe it; those people were clearly there to abduct Shangguan Zhi.

But the next day, the Imperial Advisor died in his tent.

The cause of death was suffocation, caused by poisoning from the burning charcoal inside the tent.

The Imperial Preceptor held a highly respected position and had many followers in the Western Liao Dynasty.

Many people died in that night attack, but the King of Western Liao could suppress it. However, he could not suppress the death of the Grand Preceptor.

Moreover, he himself began to have doubts.

An evil force has invaded; it is an ominous sign.

Since he arrived, one mishap after another has occurred.

Could it be that this child...?

"Your Majesty, he must be dealt with! He brought all the calamities upon us! The Fourth Prince, the Imperial Advisor, and those fallen warriors—next, he will harm you!"

The King of Western Liao looked at the boy with a deep gaze.

"how do you say?"

"There's nothing to say. I'm just a jinx, whether in Da Gan or Xi Liao."

I shouldn't have been born.

The boy lowered his eyes and spoke casually, yet it was heartbreaking to hear!

The King of Western Liao recalled that night with Shangguan Zhi.

At that moment, he was truly grateful to God for allowing him to have that one-night stand with the woman he had longed for but could not have.

Why shouldn't he have been born?

If he had known then that the boy was his son, he would never have let him stay in the Daqian Palace!

If this child had grown up in Western Liao, he would have personally taught him and he would have been his most beloved child!

But now, it's all too late.

"Your Majesty! Kill him!"

"Your Majesty! Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

The King of Western Liao had eyes like a bloodthirsty wolf, filled with murderous intent, carrying a ferocious and predatory glint.

"It's easy to tell whether it's him or not."

"Put him in an iron cage and hang him up."

"Let's see if he has any connection with Da Gan!"

Look at Shangguan Zhi, does she really not care about this son?

"Yelü Chen, if you betray me, I will not consider our father-son relationship!"
