Chapter 0153 City Gate

The rain continued to fall until dawn. Except for the initial shock, people became miserable afterwards.

It was really cold. The rain was not like snow that could be shaken off the body. Soon the soldiers were soaked. After returning to the camp, the cooks set up big pots and worked hard to boil ginger soup, so that everyone was not frozen into ice sculptures.

The conditions were so terrible, and the situation inside the king's tent was not much better. The ground was muddy, and it was impossible to build a mud stove, so they could only make do with a charcoal basin. Even so, staying inside was still shivering. Xiao Rong put on a dry cloak, then a fur coat, and wrapped himself in a blanket before sitting down quietly.

He barely spoke after he came back. Jian Qiao loved and hated him. He wanted to point his finger at him and scold him, but he also wanted to kneel on the ground and hug his legs and cry. God knows how panicked he was when he found out that Xiao Rong was also missing. He even suspected that this mountain would eat people, and only eat those with high status. According to this order, after eating the king and Mr. Xiao, he should be the next one to be eaten. …………

The person was found, and although he was injured, his life was not in danger. This should have been a happy occasion for everyone, but the atmosphere here was too weird. Everyone came in with their teeth bared and left in silence. …

The military doctor treated Qu Yunmie's wound. When he pressed on Qu Yunmie's bones, his expression was heavy. When he saw that there was a piece of flesh missing from Qu Yunmie's leg, his expression looked as if Qu Yunmie would not live long.

Shaking his head, he first wrote two prescriptions and asked others to boil the medicine. Then he opened a medicine box with a small lock and looked inside for something that could be used.

Salt ginseng, snow ganoderma, rhodiola rosea...

The box was full of precious medicinal herbs. It was given to Xiao Rong by Agusega before he set out. Agusega originally wanted to go with him, but Xiao Rong did not agree. He knew that Qu Yunmie was not in danger of life. At that time, what he needed most was not a doctor, but soldiers to rescue him.

The medical skills of the Buteu people have something in common with those of the Central Plains. However, looking at so many precious medicinal materials, the military doctors were a little at a loss. These seemed to be things that could only save lives and could not speed up the healing of external injuries.

He was wondering what to do when suddenly, a finger appeared in front of him.

The finger pointed at the bottom of the box, where something was wrapped in paper. The military doctor was stunned. He looked at the owner of the finger. Xiao Rong still didn't say anything, but just gestured for him to open the paper package and take a look.

The military doctor was confused and opened the paper package, revealing a piece of grass inside. At first glance, the grass seemed no different from ordinary weeds, but when he got closer and smelled it, he knew it was a good thing based on his years of experience as a military doctor.

The military doctor was a little uncertain, so he asked Xiao Rong: "Xiao Situ, this is..."

Xiao Rong put his hand back into the blanket and replied, "I don't know if this Xianbei magic herb is effective. Try boiling a pot first and find a sheep to drink a bowl of it. If it's still alive, bring it to the king's tent."

Qu Yunmie: “…”

The military doctor's eyes widened. "Xibihun Magic Grass?! No, no! No need to find a sheep, I am willing to test the medicine on myself!"

Xiao Rong: "...If you are willing, that's fine."

Then the military doctor rushed out. He was just an army doctor. How could he have the chance to come into contact with such a magical thing? As he ran while holding the magical herb, he even had tears in his eyes.

Dad, Mom, I have really made it big now! ...

It was not until the military doctor walked away that Qu Yunmie said in a deep voice: "So you found the magic herb, but you didn't tell me."

Xiao Rong was wearing too many clothes and it was very difficult for him to move. He moved himself to the back little by little and while leaning against the pillar, he was further away from Sen*Wan*Zheng*Liqu Yunmie.

Looking at the flickering fire in the tent, Xiao Rong said calmly: "Why should I tell you? If I tell you, you will sneak into my room in the middle of the night and boil this grass into medicine and pour it into my mouth. I have already said that this grass is useless to me. Besides, if I really let you do this, what can you drink today?"

Qu Yunmie: “…”

He hated when Xiao Rong was right, especially today when he was right.

He became more unhappy: "That's not important. What's important is that you hid it from me."

Xiao Rong looked at him in confusion: "I have been hiding things from you every day, why are you settling accounts with me today?"

After saying this, without waiting for Qu Yunmie to fight back, Xiao Rong sat up straight and pointed at Qu Yunmie's upper body: "Before you talk about me, take a look at yourself first. Your ribs are broken. Why did you hide it from me?"

Qu Yunmie: "That's different. I'm just afraid that you'll worry! What's the point of telling you? It will only add to your worries!"

Xiao Rong smiled slightly: "Yeah, I think so too."

Qu Yunmie: “…………”

The guards next to him: “…………”

The guards didn't understand. Even though the doctor had left, the six of them were still there. Why did the king and Xiao Situ act as if they couldn't see them? It was so awkward. Where should they look?

Qu Yunmie seemed to be looking for trouble, Xiao Rong saw it but did not remind him. Qu Yunmie himself was also exhausted, and after returning empty-handed, he just sat there silently without saying a word. Xiao Rong looked at him every once in a while, thought about it, and then turned his head back.

After the medicine was ready, Qu Yunmie drank two bowls of it. Before falling asleep, he ordered Jian Qiao to go out and round up the remnants of the Qingfeng Sect, and asked Yu Shaocheng to lead his troops to Liyang. Although he could not move for the time being, he did not want to see others idle.

While Qu Yunmie was regaining his strength, Yu Shaocheng captured the main city of Lujiang in just one hour. The people here had basically given up struggling, so he drove straight in, checked if there was any problem in the city, and then continued to attack towards Liyang County.

Liyang was the place where the intelligence said there were heavenly soldiers and generals. It was said that there were 50,000 to 60,000 troops hidden inside this city. Yu Shaocheng didn't quite believe it, but he didn't dare not to believe it. He deployed his troops carefully, and discovered something in less than half a day.

There are even fewer soldiers in Liyang than in Lujiang City. It is basically an empty shell.

Yu Shaocheng: “…” Unlucky!
