The next day.
Gu Weiyi was having a strange dream. In the dream, he was still in the Zhao family army. He was drinking and eating meat with a large group of brothers. After finishing the large bowl of wine, he took a few sips and still felt the taste of the wine. Why? , so weird
He squinted at Shao Guanghua, the assistant coach next to him, and was about to ask him what the wine he had brought was. Suddenly, he felt like he was stabbed hard on the face, and Gu Weiyi woke up from his dream.
When he woke up, he suddenly felt that his face was wet and smelled bad. When he stretched out his hand to wipe it, the water was still a little yellow.
! ! !
After being stunned for a long time, Gu Weiyi finally realized that Xia Chu's red fox really understood people's words and actually peed on his face!
The feeling of being poked in the face just now must be that the red fox stepped on his face!
Gu Weiyi roared angrily, washed his face and changed his clothes, then angrily went out with the knife.
Only when he went out did he realize that the sky had really changed.
The sunny skies for the past few days turned into dark clouds.
In the past, the sun had already risen, but now dark clouds were approaching. It should be bright, but even half of the sky was darkened.
When he stopped at the door to look at the sky, Xia Chu came over. Gu Weiyi saw the dots on his shoulders, and the knife in his hand was instantly unsheathed.
"Get ready, we're going to attack the city." Xia Chu's cold voice suddenly spoke.
Gu Weiyi was stunned for a moment and then immediately forgot about Diandian, and hurried to the camp to order troops for battle.
Half an hour later, the Gu family army set off from Mianxi City and pressed towards Jincheng.
During the march, Xia Chu walked side by side with Gu Weiyi and whispered beside him: "I am responsible for saving Gu Xingyun, I still have to count on you for the rest of the siege."
Gu Weiyi nodded and couldn't help but ask: "That poison..."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden thunder and lightning. The thunder was deafening, and the light of lightning illuminated the entire earth in an instant.
Gu Weiyi seemed to see the corners of Xia Chu's mouth curved in that bright light. Before he could continue to ask, heavy raindrops fell down.
In a moment, it rained heavily.
The mountains and peaks on both sides, the long and short rivers and canyons, all lost their outlines in the sudden heavy rain and faded into nothingness.
The road ahead became increasingly blurry, the pace of the march was very difficult, and the soldiers behind them inevitably complained.
After spending several days in Mianxi, we had to choose such a rainy day to attack the city. This was such a hindrance...
Gu Weiyi roared behind him: "Quiet."
The strictly disciplined Gu Jiajun immediately stopped talking, but even though it had been spring for many days, the raindrops that poured down hit his cheeks, still as cold as a knife, and it was particularly cold when it hit his body.
Gu Weiyi looked at Xia Chu and asked hesitantly: "You calculated that it would rain today and specifically chose today to attack the city?"
"I don't have that magical power. I'm just waiting for the rain to come." Xia Chu shook his head, but shook away the water on his face that was nestled in his arms.
Diandian was curled up in a ball. Although her whole body was soaked by Xia Chu's clothes, she still had Xia Chu's cloak covering her outside, so she was not exposed to the heavy rain.
But Xia Chu's swish just now slapped it in the face, causing it to make a dissatisfied "squeak" sound.
Xia Chu pressed its head down and muttered: "I told you not to follow me. You will have to ask for trouble."
There was another aggrieved 'squeak' sound in his arms.
Seeing its appearance, Gu Weiyi laughed out loud and said, "You deserve it!"
Xia Chu glanced at him lightly and said coolly: "I forgot all the hardships I suffered this morning so quickly."
Gu Weiyi's pupils suddenly narrowed: "You boy, this fox cub was not instructed by you to do such a dirty thing, right?"
Xia Chu remained silent, just looking at him with fixed eyes, Gu Weiyi automatically paused and turned his head away unnaturally.
"I have drugged the food in the past few days." Xia Chu had just finished speaking. Seeing that Gu Weiyi, who had turned his head, was obviously stiff again, he laughed and continued: "It is aimed at the large area of Jiancheng. The antidote to poison barrier prevention.”
Gu Weiyi coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment, and then heard Xia Chu continue: "While the heavy rain obscures your eyesight, you have to be fast, and take advantage of it when it is unprepared and be caught off guard."
Gu Weiyi responded in a deep voice: "I understand, Prince Jing will leave it to you."
Xia Chu said 'hmm', very softly but firmly.
The reason why he was waiting for this rain was that he hoped that the downpour could wash away the poison on the foundation stones of the tower.
The poison left by Yue Fengwan himself is not only difficult to cure, but also has many types.
He could try slowly, but Gu Xingyun couldn't wait for him to study antidotes day by day.
Therefore, in the first seven days of the summer, we just prepared the antidote for the poisonous barriers inside and outside the city, mixed it into the soldiers' meals, and then waited for the day to rain.
Although it was very difficult for the army to move forward, it was also because of the heavy rain that the Western Region Army in Jincheng did not notice in time that the Gu family's army was approaching the city.
Xia Chu couldn't care less about how Gu Weiyi divided his troops to fight. The moment the army attacked the city, his figure had already swept away from Blazing Wings' horseback.
In the cracks in the wall of the tower, rainwater mixed with various colors meandered down. Xia Chu huddled aside and waited. When the color gradually became clear, he tiptoed to step on the stone and cut the rope.
At the same time, the Gu family army also attacked.
Because it was a surprise attack, there was no ladder prepared, so people stepped on each other and pulled each other up.
The climb was originally silent, but alarm bells suddenly sounded because Gu Xingyun's rope was cut.
Footsteps rushed from all directions of the city tower in an instant, and the battle in the city officially began.
When Xia Chu succeeded in the attack, he didn't care about the fighting soldiers. He landed first and carried Gu Xingyun, who had caught the fall, on his back. He groaned under the pressure of his tall body, and then he used his inner strength to stand up from the ground. He hurriedly called out: "Blazing Wings."
The bright red fur of Blazing Wings after running for a long distance was still bright in the heavy rain. In the early summer, towards that red color, the wind was blowing on its lotus steps, and it leaped onto the horse's back like a dragon.
Gu Xingyun was knocked horizontally in front of him. In order to prevent him from falling, Xia Chu did not dare to make Chi Yi run too fast.
After the sound was the sound of fighting, mixed with the heavy rain in the sky, mixed with lightning and thunder, the whole world blurred into one, Xia Chu could only vaguely see the very close scenery, completely relying on Chiyi to walk all the way to the pavilion at the bend of the mountain road. Speed away.
When they arrived at the entrance of the pavilion, Bian Ding, who had been arranged by Xia Chu to light a fire and prepare a carriage to meet him, quickly came out to pick up Gu Xingyun and carry him inside.
Perhaps Bian Ding's movements were too big, or maybe the bumps along the way were too violent. When Gu Xingyun was put down by him and leaned against the fire, he snorted and half-opened his eyes.
Xia Chu hurriedly tightened his soaked clothes and stepped over. What could be seen was his eyes that gradually became distracted despite his efforts to strengthen his consciousness.
Xia Chu held the hand he was trying to raise and said warmly in his ear: "Gu Xingyun, I'm here to take you home."
