Chapter 100 The good wind helps me soar to the sky
Jiang Cinian personally prepared the required medicinal materials, cleaned them, and put them into the pot and medicine pot in turn for boiling.
After about an hour and a half, the hot water for the medicinal bath and the medicine for internal use were ready.
He ordered someone to pour out the water for the medicinal bath and let it dry first, then brought the medicine over to the person for him to take. After another half an hour, when the medicine took effect, he put the person into the bathtub.
After that, I was still busy until midnight.
The water for the medicinal bath must be changed twice. Only when the water does not turn black on the third time can it be considered that the second level of poison has been removed.
During this period, Jiang Cinian also had to give Yan Xingchuan acupuncture.
After finishing his work, he was a little tired and in a bad mood.
Thinking that he was helping the Northern Yan King to detoxify, and that the other party was only thinking about stealing his girl away, he felt a little depressed.
After thinking for a moment, he said to Shen Mo who was standing by, “If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will give your master a few more injections.”
Although it is impossible to really send someone to heaven, it is still possible to make him suffer a little more.
Chen Mo's heart nearly jumped out of his chest, and he immediately said, "Doctor Jiang, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
My Lord, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just that you are unlucky!
The Sixth Lady wants to get engaged, so why not choose the miracle doctor from Medicine King Valley? We can't risk our lives.
"You must treat it well!"
After hearing this, Jiang Cinian felt a little relieved. He thought about curing the patient quickly so that he and Cui Si could return to Xianyang City as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, for the sake of world peace, your master will not die."
.
On the day Cui Si arrived at Chongshan Pass, the Northern Yan army shot and killed ten of the guards on the city gate and declared:
The imperial court has broken its promise and reneged on it. From today onwards, if Chongshan City does not open its gates, Beiyan will kill ten people until the day Chongshan City opens its gates.
The people in Chongshan City originally didn't take this seriously.
What are ten people?
You have to know that when marching and fighting, it is a battle involving tens of thousands of troops, and the number of casualties may not be ten, but hundreds or thousands.
But on the second day, the Northern Yan army killed ten people, on the third day, they killed ten people, on the fourth day, they killed ten people, on the fifth day, they killed ten people... The garrison soldiers at Chongshan Pass began to panic.
What? Go up to the city gate to guard the city?
Isn't that just asking for death?
Who wants to go?
Even if you are a heroic man who is willing to defend your country and sacrifice your life, you are willing to die. But this is obviously a suicide mission, and it is a waste of time. Who would be willing to go?
They would rather take up weapons and fight on the battlefield, and die a worthy death defending their country.
Going to die like this is really too depressing and too disgusting.
No one wanted to guard the city gate, so guarding the city became something that everyone avoided.
Being named is like the King of Hell making a mark in the book of life and death.
The garrison soldiers were in a panic, and some even gathered their soldiers to rebel in order to avoid this incident.
After suppressing a small rebellion, Fei Jianjun smashed a teacup:
"Northern Yan Army! What a Northern Yan Army! This is simply outrageous!"
Fei Jianjun's chest heaved heavily with his breathing, his eyes filled with anger.
Originally, the Northern Yan army threatened that "if the gate is not opened one day, ten people will be killed every day", but General Fei scoffed at it and did not take it seriously at all.
But no one expected that the garrison would be in internal strife over such a small matter.
"How about we go out of the city and fight." A general suggested.
"All the soldiers felt that dying like this was too miserable. They thought it would be better to fight on the battlefield, even if it meant dying there."
"What are you fighting for? Who's going to fight?" Supervisor Fei glared at him. "Can you defeat the Northern Yan army?"
In fact, there are not many soldiers defending Chongshan City at the moment.
When Jiang Shao went out of the city to fight that day, he led 30,000 people out of the city, of which 20,000 were the Jiang family army brought by Jiang Shao, and 10,000 were the garrison troops of Chongshan City.
Jiang Shao lost his arm and fled. Military Supervisor Fei ordered the city gates to be locked, and the 30,000 people left outside the city were abandoned.
Those people were either strangled to death by the enraged Northern Yan army or captured.
Now the commander of Chongshan City is missing, and there are only 50,000 soldiers defending the city. How can we fight if we get out of the city?
It would be better to defend the city gate.
As long as the Northern Yan army doesn't dare to attack by force, we can keep the city safe.
"Is Yan Xingchuan dead?"
"No news has come out yet."
"Humph! He's dead." Fei Jianjun twisted his mustache, his face full of pride.
"This poison cannot be cured by ordinary people, unless we can find someone from the Medicine King Valley. Now the Medicine King Valley has been razed to the ground by me, and the old man is said to be far away in Shangzhou. Where can the Northern Yan army find someone from the Medicine King Valley?"
"As long as we wait for ninety-nine eighty-one days, the Northern Yan King Yan Xingchuan will be nothing but a pool of blood, hahahaha!"
"By the way, have you found Jiang Shao?" Speaking of Jiang Shao, Fei Jianjun's face turned cold again.
"He's also a loser. I thought he was so confident that he could really kill Yan Xingchuan with his sword, but in the end, Yan Xingchuan chopped off one of his arms. If it weren't for the fast arrow, he would have died long ago."
"Hasn't found it yet..." someone replied.
"Useless! He's also useless!" Supervisor Fei was furious. "You're even leaving the city to fight? What city are you leaving? Just wait for eighty-one days. Once Yan Xingchuan is dead, the Northern Yan army will be ruined."
"As for defending the city..."
"Then I won't defend it."
So the next day, the gate of Chongshan City was empty.
Upon seeing this, the Northern Yan army immediately summoned its troops, led by Shen Mo, to approach Chongshan City and launch a siege.
By the time the garrison realized that the enemy was attacking the city and summoned the defending troops to arrive, enemy soldiers had already jumped onto the city wall using ladders.
After a bloody battle, although the enemy retreated, many soldiers were killed.
They stood on the city wall and watched the Northern Yan army kill a few people and run away, leaving the city gate in ruins.
The city was defended, but the soldiers felt extremely heavy-hearted.
In the days that followed, they could either defend the city and wait to be killed, or hide and let others attack.
"We lost, what a pity."
Cui Si and others stood on a distant hilltop, watching Chen Mo and his soldiers retreat from afar.
The wind on the top of the mountain made the clothes flutter, the trees sway, and the fallen leaves were blown into the wind and drifted away.
Cui Si looked at the cliffs and mountains in the distance, squinted her eyes, and asked Shangguan Tong, "Sir, have you ever heard of this saying?"
Shangguan Tong looked at her and said, "I'd like to hear the details."
"A good wind will help me soar to the sky." Cui Si paused and suddenly smiled. "Did you play with kites when you were a child?"
"Kite?"
Cui Si said, "Yes, a kite. If the kite is big enough, do you think it can carry a person to the sky?"
Shangguan Tong looked at the cliffs and mountains in the distance, his pupils shrinking slightly.
Cui Si continued, "Sir, if you say that there's fire falling from the sky every day, is it still possible to stay here?"
Cui Jing clapped his hands and added, "Wouldn't it be even better if it exploded with a bang?"
