That’s right, reinforcements have finally arrived!
Boss Peng and his group are very good at disguise and sneaking around. They have been operating in the north for decades and have a variety of cover identities. They have long since merged with ordinary people and are difficult to distinguish. After several difficult searches and investigations, Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao finally succeeded in locking down Boss Peng and his group.
When Su Ci was trying to escape, she didn't know that Yang Yanzong had actually led his men to the vicinity of the earthen temple.
But they did not dare to act rashly, because Su Ci and Ren were still in the hands of Boss Peng and others. Once they got close and were noticed by the other party, it would be ok if they were at a disadvantage. But if the other party felt bad, the hostages' lives would easily be in danger.
Yang Yanzong was anxious and had to be cautious, but he did not dare to move rashly.
The group chased for half a night and hid behind the grass on the earth slope about a hundred feet away from the earth temple. After observing for a while, Ji Yuanhao thought again and again, and finally said: "Why not wait until tomorrow, when they enter the city, and then take action."
Going further ahead is Fengchuan, with four cities and thirty-six townships, it is densely populated with towns and villages, and there is basically no wilderness. If we start in the inn in the town, there will be more manpower when the second batch arrives. It is definitely safer and more secure than this wilderness where you can see the surrounding areas at a glance.
——This insurance and security, of course, is for the hostages.
Yang Yanzong remained silent. He certainly knew that this was the best way, but he didn't want to wait. If he stayed one more day, he would have to suffer one more day. Now that he had come to this point, it would be even more frustrating if he did nothing.
"Wait a little longer."
His voice had become much hoarser, due to the lack of rest and sleep due to running around for days. Ji Yuanhao nodded and had no objection. Anyway, it was impossible for them to go back. No matter how tired they were, it was impossible for them to rest now.
However, just as Ji Yuanhao turned his head to give instructions for the preparations in the town ahead, something unexpected happened.
They heard the sound of horse hooves.
Dozens of horses galloped towards the half-collapsed earth temple, and people like Peng Lao Da, who had just got off the car, rushed out instantly.
The two parties seemed to be in a conversation, and the conversation was quite tense. Yang Yanzong stood up suddenly and said, "We can't wait any longer!"
This group of masked men who suddenly appeared were obviously top masters from the way they dismounted and stood up. No one knew what they were talking about with Boss Peng and the others. Maybe they were negotiating, and the content of the negotiation might even be about the fate of Su Ci and Ren.
They can’t gamble!
Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao stood up suddenly and made a prompt decision, "Go!"
…
In the dark wilderness, amidst the sneers, confrontation and the sound of swords being drawn, the black-clothed and masked man in the lead suddenly tilted his head. He seemed to have heard some unusual movement behind the earth temple. He sneered: "If I were you, I would send someone to check behind."
Boss Peng's heart skipped a beat and he turned around immediately. The people behind him immediately turned around and went behind the tent.
After a while, he screamed, "Oh no! Those two women ran away again!"
At the same time, there was the sound of someone jumping out of the window to chase after him.
grass!
Boss Peng and his gang were shocked, and immediately seven or eight of them turned around and chased after them!
The masked man in black was about to curl his lips in sneer, but unexpectedly at this moment, the wind started to blow, and the cold wind blew into the broken earth temple that was leaking air everywhere. The red stars on the fire started to crackle, but suddenly, he suddenly felt a sound of green grass stepping on leaves rushing past in the field not far away!
He felt a hint of murderous intent for no reason.
The mutual induction between these top masters, and their extremely sharp sense of smell for blood and murderous intent, made the masked leader suddenly startled, "Who!!!"
He shouted loudly, and with a clang the long sword came out of its sheath!
Yang Yanzong rushed in like a whirlwind, glanced with his sharp eyes and swung his sword, and the tattered earthen cloth hanging on the earthen temple immediately split into two pieces, revealing the corpse lying on the ground behind!
A fierce battle begins immediately! ! !
The masked men who were originally on the verge of a fight with Boss Peng, however, joined forces with Yang Yanzong, Ji Yuanhao and his group the moment they appeared. Yang Yanzong swung his sword and engaged with the attacking black-clothed leader. The two of them suddenly separated and joined together, and the fire was swept into pieces in an instant.
Akang immediately led his men to rush to the back along the path briefly cleared by Yang Yanzong, but after searching, he could not find Su Ci and Ren at all. Instead, there was a corpse lying on the ground. The rear window was empty. When he rushed forward to take a look, he saw the backs of dozens of people chasing towards the wilderness in the dark night.
The last few of them turned around and rushed over here, intercepting Akang and his companions!
Ah Kang cried out: "Oh no! Madam and the others have already fled to the east, they are being pursued!!!"
Yang Yanzong shouted: "Hurry up and divide the troops to chase! Quick!!!"
Yang Yanzong, Ji Yuanhao and others who were the first to rush into the earth temple were entangled in the fierce battle. He swept his sharp eyes towards the tail of the team. The people at the end had not yet been entangled in the fight. Upon hearing the sound, he immediately rushed back and fought back!
Among them were Su Yan, Yang Yanzhen, and A Zhao, but A Zhao was tightly entangled by a masked man and a Beirong man, and was unable to escape for a while.
Su Yan and Yang Yanzhen broke free from the stalemate and quickly chased eastward!
There was also Ji Chengtan. His skills were average and he was at the end of the group, but he was not involved in the battle at all. Upon hearing this, he immediately ran in the direction of Su Yan.
Su Yan and Yang Yanzhen were very good at Qinggong, and they quickly chased to the river and caught up with the Beirong people who were urgently looking for a boat. The latter suddenly turned around, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fight.
"Boat, find a boat quickly, Ah Ci and the others are on the boat and out on the water!"
Su Yan smelled blood and became extremely anxious, screaming loudly. She swung out with a sword, but was blocked by the Beirong man, and was unable to get away for a while.
She hated them to death, but she had no choice but to get rid of these Northern Rong people with Yang Yanzhen first.
On the contrary, Ji Chengtan looked like a weak scholar. His lightness skill was not very good and he was a little out of breath after running all the way. The Beirong people did not take him seriously. Su Yan and Yang Yanzhen were extremely difficult to deal with. They were fully focused on dealing with these two people, so he became a fish that slipped through the net.
Ji Chengtan crawled and rolled up, and ran into the long grass and reeds, but after running for hundreds of meters, he did not find the second boat along the way. He didn't know whether it was let go by the Beirong people or if it didn't exist in the first place. Finally, he gritted his teeth and ran along the shore in the direction of the water flow!
…
Let’s talk about Su Ci and the others.
She was carried onto the boat by Ren, who pushed the boat against the shore with all her strength. The boat swayed out and was finally swept rapidly downstream by the fast-flowing river water.
Su Ci quickly lay down and asked Ren to help prop up her head and feet.
Ren quickly took off her outer coat and skirt, and hurriedly folded them a few times to help her pad.
Water was gushing out of the hole in the hull that had been pierced by the dagger. Ren quickly blocked it with her hand, then tore off a strip of cloth and pressed and plugged it until it was finally blocked.
The knife wounds on her body were deep and she was bleeding even as she moved. Su Ci quickly taught her how to tie up her upper limbs and bandage them to stop the bleeding.
Ren followed her instructions and hurriedly treated her wounds. The bleeding soon slowed down, but she was more worried about Su Ci: "What about you? What are you going to do? Is there anything else you want to do?!"
The wind is howling, and a lone boat without even a paddle is floating on the river. What should I do? what to do? !
Su Ci shook her head: "That's it for now."
She had done everything she could. The knife could not be removed. She estimated the location of the wound and found that there were no important organs. If she held on like this, she could probably hold on for half a day.
She complained in her heart, damn, he is not going to die here, is he?
We have gone through so many storms.
Are we actually going to capsize in this little ditch?
Well, this isn’t actually a small ditch. It would be more appropriate to say “If you walk near a river you’ll get your shoes wet.”
Su Ci was very A Q. After she finished her complaints, she thought for a moment and told Ren: "If we can meet up with Yang Yanzong and the others as soon as possible, then someone can be saved."
She was very glad that she did not keep her own expertise to herself. She had guided several people in surgical operations. When she was in Gaobian, she had demonstrated and explained abdominal operations because of the conditions. Two people learned very well and even performed abdominal operations without damaging important organs.
They are all Yang Yanzong's subordinates. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have brought Zhang Xin and others with him, right?
At least there is still some hope, however slim.
"Oh, then let's go back quickly!"
Ren held Su Ci's hand and nodded desperately. She was a gentle but strong woman, but at this moment she couldn't help but nod and shed tears. She just responded vaguely, not caring how a powerless and injured woman like her could get Su Ci into the city.
But Ren soon had no time to talk to Su Ci, because the sound of water sounded wrong. It suddenly became louder in front of her and the sound was unusually rapid. Ren was startled and looked up quickly. Under the moonlight, she saw that there was a rocky beach about seventy or eighty feet in front of her!
Strange rocks rose from the riverbed, and the water flow suddenly became turbulent, with white waves splashing rapidly in the narrow river. What's worse is that from this angle, there are obviously many large and small circular ripples in the river in front of the rocky beach, which are undercurrents!
I don’t know what’s going on below, but there’s clearly an undercurrent vortex!
Ren broke out in a cold sweat, she quickly lay on the side of the boat and paddled hard with her hands! She used both hands and was sweating profusely in the cold weather. Her desire to survive burst out at this moment. Fortunately, there is always a way out. She finally managed to get the boat close to the shore before it drifted to the undercurrent.
When they were about five or six meters away from the beach, Ren jumped into the water. Fortunately, she stepped on the bottom. She dragged the boat hard and crawled towards the shore.
She was gasping for breath, her lungs aching as if they were on fire. She was holding on to the boat but had no strength left to pull it any further. She slowed down and was about to try again, but then she heard the sound of rushing water. Someone was swimming! She was startled and stood on tiptoe to take a look, only to see a pair of hands grabbing the other side of the boat with all their might.
The other person showed up and it turned out to be a Beirong man who had actually jumped into the water and swam all the way down!
Ren cried out in grief. The other party drew out a dagger and rushed towards her. She turned over and picked up a piece of black wood on the edge of the beach, and beat him desperately: "Go to hell, go to hell!"
The Beirong man swam all the way and was exhausted. He was hit on the head by Ren who suddenly jumped up. Blood spurted out and he screamed and covered his eyes!
It turned out that the bulge of Ren's black Shiba Inu just poked into his eye!
The blood immediately dyed the river red. The two men were struggling desperately, and Ren was fighting desperately. At this time, Ji Chengtan finally arrived!
He ran madly downstream along the river bank, fell countless times after running for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, he turned a corner and saw his sister-in-law being pounced on by a Beirong man with a dagger. His eyes were bloodshot and he immediately jumped into the river. With a "bang", he swam hard to the other side!
At least he caught up with him, pulled out his dagger and stabbed it hard into the back of the Beirong man!
The latter froze and was knocked into the water by Ji Chengtan.
Ren was half lying on the beach and in the water, her face covered in blood. It was unclear whether it was hers or that of the Beirong man. She shouted hoarsely, "Second brother, second brother! Go and save Second Sister Su!!"
It turned out that during the fight between Ren and the Beirong people, they were definitely unable to hold on to the small boat. As they struggled, they rammed the small boat hard, and the boat was knocked out in an instant.
Rushing straight towards the undercurrent and rocky beach!
Su Ci screamed, and tried to sit up quickly. But before she could raise her upper body, she felt the boat beneath her shaking rapidly and irregularly. Oh no, she had reached the undercurrent area. She immediately stopped raising her head and held her breath.
Fortunately, although the boat brushed against the edge of the undercurrent several times and was almost swept in, it didn't happen in the end, and finally it managed to cross those dozens of meters with difficulty.
When Ji Chengtan hurriedly looked up, the small boat had already passed the undercurrent area. Fortunately, it was not swept under the water, but it lost speed and rushed towards the rocky beach!
When Ren shouted, she didn't think of anything else at all, and she also forgot about the undercurrent. Ji Chengtan saw it, but he ignored everything and jumped into the water, desperately chasing after the boat!
Ren lost his voice.
At this time, the Beirong man in the water began to struggle. It turned out that Ji Chengtan's dagger did not pierce his heart, so he was not dead. After his heart was cold for a moment, he struggled to stand up, blood was flowing from his vest, and he was about to die. His eyes were bloodshot, but his eyes were full of the brutality of a wild beast, saying that he would drag one more person along even if he died!
This man must be very strong-willed, otherwise he wouldn't have dived into the water without hesitation to catch up with the boat!
Water splashed all over her face. Ren tilted her head and met the bloodshot eyes. She screamed, but fortunately, Ren reacted very quickly. Before the other party could stand firm, she immediately crawled and rolled to her feet and ran to the shore at a high speed!
In the dark night, her back suddenly disappeared in the long grass.
The Beirong man stared at the direction where Ren disappeared, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose two visible targets, dived into the water, and pounced on them fiercely!
In the dark night, Su Ci held on to the side of the boat. She was so nervous that she didn't even hear any movement on the shore. Suddenly, the speed of the boat increased. She was startled, but before she could struggle to get up, there was a "bang"! The bow of the boat hit the reef hard, and her head swayed and hit the side of the boat hard, causing her to faint immediately.
But fortunately, Ji Chengtan finally arrived. When the turbulent current caused the boat to lose speed and rushed towards the second and third large reefs, he dived hard, held on to the boat tightly, pushed against the reef, and leaned back hard!
He pushed and kicked until his joints turned white, and finally he managed to pull the boat out of the reef area. Then things got much better. Although the current was fast and the suction was strong, it did not rush towards the reef. Instead, the reef split the fast current into two, and the other half rushed rapidly towards the shore.
He pushed the boat, trying to push it to the shore, but at this time he was entangled by the Beirong man. The other party was dying and had great strength. He pulled the boat twice but failed to capsize. Instead, he grabbed Ji Chengtan's neck and held it tightly! And bit his ear again.
Ji Chengtan's ears were covered in blood and he was having difficulty breathing. He had tried his best to break free from the reef area, but this time he was more tenacious than ever and struggled desperately.
But he had to hold Xiao Zhou with one hand, and the opponent was too fierce, so he soon fell into a disadvantage. Just when his face was purple and his lungs were about to explode, Su Yan came!
As soon as Su Yan dealt with the Beirong people, she immediately handed the scene over to Yang Yanzhen, and she quickly chased downstream.
With a "bang", Su Yan jumped into the water. Ji Chengtan was overjoyed: "...Here!"
Su Yan was an excellent swimmer and had great skills. Once she found her target, she would move very quickly, pounce on the opponent's back like a water monkey, and cut the Beirong man's throat with a dagger. She then quickly pulled the boat and Ji Chengtan into the water.
"you……"
Su Yan threw Ji Chengtan into the water, turned around and hugged her sister. She supported Su Ci's pulse and her heart, which was racing, eased a little. She saw a large circle of black and blue on Ji Chengtan's neck out of the corner of her eye, and her expression became very complicated.
Ji Chengtan: "I'm fine!"
He spoke first.
After a pause, he said softly, "You don't have to tell her."
He carefully glanced at Su Ci in Su Yan's arms, and said in a hoarse voice, with a look of suppressed emotion in his eyes, but much clearer than before, "I know, I won't look for her again."
He tried to hold back, but couldn't help it in the end: "How is her injury? Is she, is she doing well?"
Su Yan was in a very complicated mood and said casually, "Okay, of course."
But the person on the other side was her own sister, so she could be very hard-hearted. "Hurry up and leave, they're almost here!"
Yes, Ji Chengtan took a risk to save her sister once, but he owed her that, at most they didn't owe each other anything, she thought wildly, anyway, she would not allow him to meet Yang Yanzong!
Su Yan looked up: "Did you hear me? Go quickly."
Ji Chengtan took one last look at Su Ci, nodded randomly, and stood up hurriedly. At this time, he heard the sound of horse hooves, and he hurriedly dived into the grass.
Su Yan quickly raised her voice: "Quick, quick! We are here!!!"
There was a thunderous and rapid sound of horse hooves, and Yang Yanzong was covered in blood. He killed eighteen people in a row, including six or seven masked masters, and Boss Peng had his head chopped off by one sword!
Then he jumped on his horse and hurried over here.
Blood was still dripping from his body. When he saw Su Ci clearly, his eyes were bloodshot. He turned over and knelt on the ground, taking her into his arms, "Ci'er, Ci'er!"
He hurriedly felt her pulse, and Su Yan said hastily: "Her pulse is okay for now, but she was stabbed in the abdomen. She must seek medical attention immediately!" Otherwise, her condition would probably take a turn for the worse soon.
Su Ci was being moved around like this, and she gradually woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Yang Yanzong's anxious face. She was delighted: "...You, you're here?"
You are finally here, brother!
She literally cried for joy.
Yang Yanzong didn't bother to talk to her, and turned around and shouted: "Zhang Xin! Where is Zhang Xin? Let Zhang Xin come, quickly!!!"
He picked up Su Ci and turned away quickly.
Zhang Xin and his men were team doctors. They did not follow the main force to launch the attack. They were carried by A Zhao and arrived one step behind. Yang Yanzong, covered in blood and with a fierce look in his eyes, was terrifying, but he still hurriedly said, "Boat, get on board!"
There are no conditions for surgery here!
Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao advanced simultaneously on both land and sea, and in order to prevent Su Ci, Ren or other personnel from being injured during the rescue process, there was a full set of medical equipment on the boat.
Yang Yanzhen immediately fired a signal arrow. The big ship was heading this way. Yang Yanzong held Su Ci and flew quickly towards the big ship. When he saw the big ship, he jumped on it without waiting for the anchor to drop. He put Su Ci on the big bed, turned around and grabbed Zhang Xin's collar, "Quick, save her!"
His description was really fierce. He wanted to stay and make a pinky promise. He knew how to do this. He would feel uneasy if he didn't keep an eye on them. But Zhang Xin still had to muster up the courage to say, "Master, it would be better for you to wash up."
The fewer people there are in this operating room, the cleaner it is, the better.
Yang Yanzong paused, then was swept away like the wind.
When he came back, the operation had already begun. Before Su Ci drank the Ma Fei Tang, she specifically told Zhang Xin the key points of the operation: "Be steady and accurate. There are no important organs in this area. If the intestinal damage is serious, cut and suture, clean the wound, and aspirate the fluid. Just do it as you did before. Don't panic, it's okay. Remember to inject the medicine first."
By the time Yang Yanzong came back after washing himself thoroughly and changing into clean clothes, the dagger had been pulled out, and the blood splattered all over the bed and the floor was shocking. He was not afraid of blood, but at this moment he could not help but close his eyes.
After a while, he forced himself to open his eyes, walked forward, and held her hand.
Zhang Xin had experience. He had performed this operation many times when he was in Gaobian. Su Ci's operation was the simplest one. Although the dagger pierced very deep, fortunately, it was stuck right in the middle of the two intestines, cutting only an edge and finally only two or three centimeters were sutured.
There was just too much blood spurting out, and Zhang Xin was not very skilled in using gold needles to stop bleeding. It got better after one adjustment. Then a drainage tube was placed, and finally the wound was cleaned and sutured. After the treatment was completed, more than half an hour had passed.
People inside and outside the room suffered from terrible pain every day, but fortunately, the result was good and the operation was successful. As long as follow-up medication and postoperative care are in place, they will eventually recover without any sequelae.
A blessing in disguise.
Su Ci encountered a disaster when she was eighteen years old. Although there were some setbacks, she finally got through it.
Both she and Ren were rescued safely.
…
There was a dripping sound in the cabin. When Su Ci woke up, there was a shadow above her head. She opened her eyes and saw Yang Yanzong sitting at the head of her bed. He looked very tired, with stubble on his chin.
She blinked and called out tentatively, "Husband?"
He turned his head away and didn't look at her, but Su Ci called out again pitifully. He paused, and said "hmm" in a somewhat rough voice.
But Su Ci soon stopped caring about him because it hurt so much. Those who have been injured know that the pain is not very strong when you are injured and before the operation. You may not even guess that you are injured so seriously without looking with your eyes.
The real pain came after the operation was over and the anesthesia wore off. The pain was so excruciating that one would want to die. No matter what posture one was in, the pain was beyond human endurance and tortured one's nerves all the time. The worst thing was that she didn't even have painkillers. The conditions were limited. Although Su Ci had very little injured intestinal tissue, she had to eat and drink less, and there was no painkiller at all.
She looked painful, and Yang Yanzong immediately turned around and called Zhang Xin, but Zhang Xin had no choice but to explain the reason in a very tactful way.
Next, Yang Yanzong kept silent with a gloomy face. Zhang Xin and others did not dare to breathe and quickly and quietly left.
Su Ci was in pain all day and couldn't close his eyes at night. He also stayed with her all day and night without closing his eyes. By the next day, another day had passed and the most painful time of the wound had passed. He was mentally exhausted after being tortured for one night and two days. Su Ci finally fell asleep when it got dark.
As soon as she fell asleep, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Ah Zhao said softly, "Master, would you like to take a rest too? Let someone change your medicine first?"
Yang Yanzong had been tracking and searching all the way, and he had not slept for more than two hours a day. He was extremely tired, and he had some injuries on his body, but they were not serious. He accompanied Su Ci for a day and two nights and did not eat much.
Yang Yanzong nodded.
After changing the medicine, eating some food and washing up, he returned to the bedroom where Su Ci was recuperating and stood in front of the big bed. After a while, he half-knelt on the bed, carefully moved her a little closer, and lay down beside her.
The familiar light scent of grass was clean and fresh. Although it had a faint smell of blood, she was finally back safely.
All the anxiety finally settled down. He pursed his lips for a while and closed his eyes.
…
After everyone is rescued, there are some things that need to be dealt with?
Beirong, Huang family, Shi family, and the Kun family that revealed some clues?
Huang Dewei has been with Feng Chuan. He is still clearing out the remnants of the Four Kings and tracking down Ji Lin's whereabouts. He had given great support before. Now, after hearing the news that the two ladies were rescued but both were injured to varying degrees, he took the time to come and visit them.
As for the female relatives, they couldn't be allowed into the room when they were visiting, so in fact, it was the men who entertained him.
After asking about his condition as usual, Huang Dewei learned that he was safe and needed to rest. He nodded and said, "Not bad."
The three of them stood at the bow, and he frowned: "These remnants of the traitors really do everything they can!"
Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao smiled faintly: "Indeed."
After the usual inquiries, Huang Dewei left in a hurry as he was busy with official duties.
Ji Yuanhao and Yang Yanzong watched him go away on the boat, then they withdrew their gazes and looked at each other. As for this Kun family, they still held the same reserved attitude as before.
Ji Yuanhao said calmly: "Let's finish the interrogation first."
The old emperor had always been gentle and gracious, but perhaps because the two were used to scheming and plotting, he always felt a sense of insecurity in his heart.
Yang Yanzong hurried back to the room. Su Ci heard the live broadcast in the cabin. Her pain eased a little. When it dropped to a tolerable level, she felt lively again. In fact, Su Ci felt okay. If you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Take Yang Yanzong for example. He is strong and powerful enough, but he has been on the battlefield, so he has several old wounds on his body that cannot be healed by time.
Although she was slightly injured, she felt that she was still safe.
Su Ci was bored, and when she saw Yang Yanzong, she quickly hooked her finger and said, "I want to tell you something."
After Yang Yanzong sat down, she moved and whispered, "I always feel that these two groups of masked people are the same group." There is no evidence, but it is just a hunch, "At the beginning, when they were in Yongji River, they and the Beirong people had the same goal, but later when the temple was destroyed, the atmosphere seemed different."
It was very subtle, and when Boss Peng and his men were facing the masked men in the ruined temple, they were extremely nervous. There was no sense of alliance at all, and the situation was tense.
"Have we captured any Beirong people? How about a closer interrogation?"
Yang Yanzong glanced at her, his face was still very pale, and his little face suddenly became pointed, and he became nosy.
He shoved the woman back into bed with a stern face, and said in a rough voice: "Don't worry about it, just take a rest."
He snorted.
Of course, he believed in his own judgment and verification.
It is too early to draw conclusions now.
He will take care of these things himself. As for her, she should just be quiet and take good care of her injuries!
