Chapter 98 If the city doesn't open its gates, ten people will be killed.
After talking with Jiang Cinian, Cui Si felt much more relaxed and slept well that night.
By the time we set out at dawn the next day, I was still in good spirits.
Cui Si changed into a stone green dress with narrow sleeves and a cross-collar, and covered it with an apricot-colored outer coat with a red edge and embroidered auspicious clouds.
The cape was made in a peculiar way, with a turquoise button fastening it in front. The shoulders resembled cloud shoulders, but the bottom was in the style of an outer robe.
The sleeves were very big, making her look like a big-sleeved shirt, but it did not affect her riding a horse or wielding a bow and sword.
Moreover, the three layers of apricot, red and malachite make her look even more gorgeous.
Just as she was wearing slender clothes, she looked like an immortal, with a graceful waist like smoke, floating like spring clouds, and light as autumn wild geese, she had the posture of an immortal and the beauty of snow.
He just stood there so calmly, but the pressure was extremely strong.
When Shen Mo first saw her, he was still hesitating whether to go forward and salute her, but when he came to his senses, he slapped himself in the face.
Old Madam Xu, the Cui family, Old Madam Yan and others saw them off.
Cui Si said, "Take care of yourselves, old ladies. We will be back soon."
Old Mrs. Xu suppressed her worries in her heart, and finally said only one sentence: "Be sure to return safely, grandma is waiting for you at home."
"Grandma, please rest assured. Home is here and I will definitely come back."
Seeing that Old Lady Xu's eyes were red, Cui Si winked at Cui Changyou, asking him to persuade and coax her more, and then signaled Cui Jing to prepare to set off.
Cui Jing said: "It's getting late, we should set off. Grandmother, grandmother, father, uncle, please take care.
And Ah Hao, if you have any questions and don't know what to do, please consult an elder."
"Take care of yourself."
"Be careful on the road."
"Have a safe journey."
The group said goodbye in front of the door of the second branch of the Cui family, then got on the carriage and left.
Cui Si and Song Lu boarded the carriage, and the guards around them rode on horseback to protect them, and then they set off in a grand manner.
Because Yan Xingchuan was still in a coma, everyone did not dare to delay and hurried on with the carriage. They went very fast and arrived at Pingzhou City in the middle of the night.
The group rested in the city for half the night.
Cui Jing discussed with Shen Mo and Jiang Cinian. On the morning of the next day, Shen Mo took half of the soldiers and Jiang Cinian and set off first, leaving only the other half to escort Cui Jing, Cui Si and the batch of medicinal materials to Chongshan Pass.
The carriage swayed and sped forward.
In three days, he left Pingzhou and entered Yuanzhou.
We arrived at Yuanzhou City on the fifth day.
When they were in Yuanzhou City, the brother and sister went into the city to rest for a night, and waited for Wu Tu when they left the city.
Wu Tu had met Cui Jing and Shen Mo before. Since Cui Jing was no longer in Chongshan Pass, he asked him to wait in Yuanzhou City first, and now he went with Cui Jing.
Wu Tu was carrying a stick as thick as his arm and a bundle on his back. He didn't look like a warrior who was going to join the army, but more like a bandit who was robbing people on the road.
When he saw Cui Si, he laughed heartily from a distance: "Sixth Lady, how are you? If I had known you were coming, I would have waited for you to come together."
Cui Si had been running around for days, and her face was pale, but she managed to force a smile when she heard this:
"Yuanzhou City is not too far from Chongshan Pass. There is already a lot of news in the city. Brother Wu came a few days early, and it is worth it to learn some news in the city."
"It's definitely worth it, hahaha." Wu Tu laughed heartily, but as he laughed he became a little more vicious. "Those bastards in the court are dishonest and are really no better than a butcher like me."
The news that the imperial court had secretly shot someone in front of Chongshan Pass and had broken its promise and refused to leave the city gate had spread throughout Yuanzhou City, and people all over the world were ashamed of it.
A golden decree on the golden platform is not as good as a pig slaughtered on the street.
This imperial court has no credibility at all.
"We'll talk on the way. Let's keep going."
"Very good."
The group left Yuanzhou City and continued to head towards Chongshan Pass.
After another three days of travel, they finally reached the border of Yuanzhou at dusk.
As soon as I stepped into this place, I felt the solemnity of a battlefield in the wind, and the smell of blood lingered for a long time. In the distance, I seemed to hear beacon fires and shouts.
Chen Mo and Jiang Cinian came together to greet them.
Jiang Ci Nian said, "I calculated the time. If nothing goes wrong, you should be here in the next two days. It's just as I expected."
Cui Si was sitting in the carriage, which slowed down and moved forward. Chen Mo rode his horse to squeeze Jiang Cinian's horse aside and leaned in front of the window to talk to Cui Si.
Cui Si closed her eyes to calm herself down and asked him, "How is your master?"
Chen Mo said, "Mr. Jiang has examined the patient and said he was poisoned by the Nine-Insect Grass. The poison needs to be detoxified every three days. Only after nine detoxifications can it be considered completely healed."
"We arrived three days ago and detoxified him once that day. Today is the second time. Once we detoxify him twice more, the master will wake up."
Nine-Insect Grass, also known as Nine-Storied Tower, was something Cui Si had heard of in her previous life.
It is an extremely strange poison. It is said that the poison is formed by the strains growing on nine kinds of poisonous insects one after another and absorbing the poison of the nine kinds of poisonous insects.
It is difficult for people to know which poisonous insects were used, and the detoxification must be done one by one.
If the poison is not removed, or is removed incorrectly, after 81 days, the body will fester all over and die, leaving only a pool of dirty blood.
It is said that the last person who planted this poison was the old emperor's deposed prince who had been executed long ago.
Who did the deposed prince ask for the detoxification?
Hmm...is it still Yaowang Valley?
"How's Chongshan Pass?"
“We can only fight occasionally. Chongshan City has been keeping its gates closed. If we really want to attack the city, we need to use force.
If we attack by force, Northern Yan will not have the advantage. The military advisor and General Shen are both hesitant."
Although opportunities are rare and will never come back, Jiang Shao's disappearance is a chance to attack Chongshan Pass.
However, Chongshan Pass has an advantage in terrain. If Beiyan attacks forcefully, the lives of the soldiers will be sacrificed.
Yan Xingchuan had disagreed with this matter before, and now he was unconscious. Shangguan Tong and Shen Sui did not dare to make this decision, so they remained in a stalemate.
Chen Mo rode his horse and followed the carriage forward. He told Cui Si everything about the current situation at Chongshan Pass outside the carriage window, not treating Cui Si as an outsider at all.
The carriage drove all the way to the campsite. Standing in an open space, one could see from afar that a huge axe had chopped off the middle of the winding cliffs and high mountains.
Chongshan City was built at the point of the fracture.
Cui Si stood here for a while, enjoying the breeze and looking at Chongshan City in the distance, then suddenly spoke: "Chen Mo."
Shen Mo responded subconsciously: "I am here."
When he came to his senses, he wanted to slap himself again.
Whose last general is he?
Perhaps it was because this person's aura was so strong that he always felt like he was standing in front of Yan Xingchuan.
No, no, no, Yan Xingchuan dared to say a few words. He really didn't dare to act rashly in front of this person.
Cui Si asked him, "Can we shoot the people at the city gate?"
"Yes, I can..."
"Then kill him." Cui Si's tone was steady, as if she was not disturbed.
"Send the order: if this city doesn't open its gates, ten people will be killed every day."
