"Gong Xichou? It's him again!"
Zhang He didn't expect Gong Xichou to appear at this time.
"Isn't he following Kang Jishou?"
At this moment, he helped Chu Wuhui to lead them away. Could it be...
For a moment, countless clues were connected into one line in my mind, and the key among them was Chen Tang and Chen Youli.
The generals also guessed: "It must be that the barbarian Gong Xichou has surrendered to Shen Youli and is being driven by him to ruin our good deeds."
Zhang He took a deep breath and suppressed his anxiety.
The confidants watched Zhang He close his eyes and think for a long time before they stepped forward cautiously to test their master's attitude: "Master, what should we do next? The national seal is now protected by Gong Xichou, so it may be difficult to obtain it..."
Simply put, the price/performance ratio is too low.
If Chu Yao had not held the national seal and was not escorting the coveted food and supplies, Zhang Yongqing would not have risked offending Chen Tang and attacked Chu Yao's troops. At this stage, fighting Chen Tang to the death, losing his own troops, was in effect making things easier for others.
Whether turning around to chase Chu Yao to rob food, or fighting to the death with Gong Xichou to seize the national seal, the risks involved are greater than the benefits gained.
Zhang He stared at Gong Xichou unwillingly, his chest seemed to be brewing a fierce anger that had nowhere to vent.
His luck is really not good.
Previously, they had spent a lot of effort to kill Qian Yong to the point of despair. The national seal disappeared inexplicably, and Qian Yong and his remnants were nowhere to be found alive or dead. They only felt a little relieved after annexing two small forces, and happened to run into a fat sheep full of food.
He was sharpening his knife, but Gong Xichou showed up.
This is really bad luck.
He said angrily: "Retreat!"
Although the warriors sent by Zhang He were good at hiding and tracking, Gong Xichou had the characteristics of a python, so searching, tracking, and lurking were no problem, and he had a keen sense of smell. Although he couldn't see with his eyes, he could feel the subtle temperature changes in the surrounding environment.
That brave warrior can restrain his breath, hide his smell, and be as light as a swallow, but he cannot change his own body temperature.
Gong Xichou knew at a glance that this was the outpost sent by Zhang He.
He simply crossed his legs and sat on the stone surface that was warmed by the rare sunny day, propped up his cheek with one hand, and waited for Zhang He's troops to come. Zhang He had more than 10,000 troops, and he was alone without support, so he would definitely not be able to defeat them, but he could escape!
Gong Xichou just wanted to see Zhang He rushing towards him with murderous intent, but in the end he could only stare at his back as he fled into the distance and could not catch up!
When he thought of Zhang He being so angry that he jumped up and down, he wanted to laugh.
What's the result
He waited and waited until the sky darkened, until the drizzle began to fall again, until the warm stone surface under his buttocks turned cold again, but he still did not see Zhang He's troops. Judging from the perception of the national seal, the other party rested for a long time in the same place, and then got up and left.
Gong Xichou's mouth was almost curled back to his ears.
"Tsk! You are such a coward!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang He simply didn't dare to come.
He stood up, patted his skirt armor, and flew towards Liguan. He hadn't agreed with Chu Yao where to meet before, hoping to meet him on the road. Gong Xichou was lucky, and encountered the traces of Chen Tang's troops on the way, and was almost besieged as an enemy.
Chu Yao was safe and sound, and Chen Tang was visibly fine.
"Here, it's for you!" As soon as he landed, Gong Xichou raised his hand to take off the sword case on his back and threw it to Chen Tang casually.
Chen Tang caught the object with one hand, but he was not in a hurry to absorb the national seal. Instead, he put the sword box on the ground, patted it, and motioned Gong Xichou to sit down and talk. Gong Xichou was not shy at all, and even ordered the quail-like young scholar beside him.
Luan Cheng pointed at himself: "Me?"
Gong Xichou said: "What else? You have no vision."
Luan Cheng muttered quietly while handing over the pancake in his hand: "You warrior are so rude!"
Gong Xichou didn't mind the heat and finished the whole cake in just three or two bites.
Chen Tang asked him, "Before that, the matter was urgent, and I didn't have time to ask you what happened to your eyes? Who poked them blind?"
Gong Xichou snorted and said, "Mama, there are only a few people in this world who can blind me, and I am one of them."
Chen Tang: “???”
Gong Xichou said: "This is a long story... Didn't I ask Zhang He for clarification before? This old guy is insidious, vicious and cunning. I don't know how he saw that I was at the critical period of breakthrough, so he used some means to make my evil thoughts out of control and explode. In addition, the Wudan Totem came out to cause trouble, and my eyes were accidentally stained with venom... Then it became like what Mama saw..."
"Is there anything else going on here regarding Zhang Yongqing?"
Gong Xichou said: "I am a hidden danger to him."
In fact, Gong Xichou had no ill will towards Zhang He.
The extermination of the Gongxi clan was led by the Geng royal family, who, under the instigation of his father Jimo Can, became enemies and fell apart. With the help of Zheng Qiao, the Geng Kingdom was destroyed. Zhang He was involved only because he was the imperial physician and was ordered by the king to study the Wu Kingdom's Gu disaster. In Mama's words, why bother a worker who is not even an accomplice
However, Zhang He didn't think so.
Gong Xichou's actions were capricious and inconsistent, making him feel dangerous.
Rather than passively waiting for Gong Xichou's knife to fall at any time, it is better to break it early and destroy it completely.
It is not easy to kill Gong Xichou head-on.
If there is a sneak attack, Gong Xichou will be able to escape if he sees the situation is not favorable.
He never expected that God would send him such a great opportunity. If Zhang He didn't seize it, he would be the one with a sword hanging by his neck in the future. As if by some strange coincidence, Zhang He took action.
Chen Tang nodded: "Can the eyes be restored?"
Gong Xichou said, "Yes, I have to thank the doctor under Mama's command. When I was carried back, he helped me draw out most of the venom. The remaining venom is too stubborn to be removed in a short time. It will take some time to recover."
"My doctor?"
Gong Xichou said, "An old doctor named Dong."
All in all, his luck is neither bad nor bad.
After Gong Xichou got rid of his evil thoughts, he was blown away by the self-explosion of the Wudan Totem, and his life was hanging by a thread. He lay in tatters at the bottom of a dark cliff for two days. The poison was running rampant, and the martial energy in his meridians was raging, which drained his remaining breath until he had only half a breath left to maintain his heart meridian.
Just when he was lost in consciousness and could "see" Jimo Can in front of him, a strange body temperature carefully wiped away the stains on his face.
The man asked gently: Are you Gongxi Langjun
There was a hint of hesitation, surprise and joy in his voice.
Gong Xichou was so seriously injured, how could he answer
He used up his last bit of strength and moved his eyelids.
Soon, he was carried up by someone, and then he felt the strong wind passing quickly across his cheeks, and could faintly smell a strange fragrance. He was curious about who this person was, but in the end he was unable to ask because the person jumped directly from the mountain to the bottom.
The intense feeling of weightlessness made him faint.
When he regained consciousness, he was already in a room filled with the scent of herbs. Someone cleaned him up, treated his wounds, and wrapped him in a lot of cloth. The old doctor named Dong told him that he was now in the Xiaocheng Medical Clinic.
It's safe here, and he can rest and recuperate here.
When the cracks in Gongxi Qiu's Danfu gradually healed, he tempered the Qi of heaven and earth to repair his meridians, and his injuries improved rapidly. In less than half a month, he could walk on the ground with a cane, and the next day he could play generals and fight with the patients in the clinic with a cane...
The old doctor named Dong was amazed.
The physique of a warrior is truly enviable. I have examined you. Although the poison in your body is difficult, the more difficult thing is that your spine is dislocated and broken. Even if an ordinary person can survive, he will be unable to move for the rest of his life...
The lightest case is high level paraplegia.
Gong Xichou didn't care much about these.
Old man, who saved me
The benefactor would come to visit every day, sometimes delivering medicine, sometimes asking about his recovery. Judging from her voice, this person should be a very young woman. Gong Xichou was the most grateful. The other party saved his life, so he must repay her life!
Doctor Dong: Lin Hucao.
Before it got dark, the forest guard Cao arrived.
Gong Xichou suddenly became blind. Even though he had acquired some of the characteristics of the Wudan Totem, he could only "see" a human-shaped red mass, which made him very uncomfortable. He clasped his fists towards the red human-shaped mass and said: I am Gong Xichou, thank you for saving my life.
Lin Hu Cao said: There is no need to say this, benefactor.
Gongxichou:
Lin Hu Cao said: My name is Lin Feng, my courtesy name is Lingde, and I was once saved by a benefactor. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive today.
Gong Xichou's brain was a little stuck.
He vaguely felt that the name Lin Feng sounded familiar.
Lin Hucao poured him a glass of water and said with a smile: "Everyone in the Hucao department has been busy with the cotton planting issue these days, and I really couldn't get away. I hope I can forgive me for taking until now to come and see you, my benefactor."
Some things are quite fateful.
Lin Feng visited the graves of her relatives that day, and also went to sweep the graves for her senior brother Tu Rong. When she was about to leave, she found that there was a strange smell in the direction of the cliff, so she went to take a look. Lin Feng was trapped at the bottom of the cliff for several days and was rescued by Gong Xichou.
As time went by, their situations became reversed.
Lin Feng picked him up and took him back, as a way of repaying the favor of saving his life.
As Lin Feng narrated, Gong Xichou barely found some fragments of memory in the corner of his mind, vaguely remembering that it was a small bean sprout that looked like a bamboo pole. After not seeing him for a few years, he could actually carry him and jump over the mountain to continue on his way. Gong Xichou drank water to suppress the twitching of his mouth.
but-
Gong Xichou said honestly: It’s not fair.
Lin Feng was surprised: What
Gong Xichou said honestly: I still owe you a life.
In the previous battle of Xiaocheng, he was captured by Mama, and finally he was released as a free man because he saved Lin Feng and Tu Rong's lives. In other words, Gong Xichou still owed Lin Feng a life.
Does Ms. Lin have any enemies
Even if the enemy has nine heads, I can chop them off.
Buy one get eight free! No price increase for more quantity!
Lin Feng shook his head, realizing that he couldn't see, and said again: I have no enemies, and even if I do, the sword on my waist is not for show. It's almost time, I have an appointment with my colleagues, and I have important things to deal with, so I won't disturb my benefactor to rest.
Gong Xichou recovered under the careful care of Dr. Dong.
The sixteenth-level great body is durable.
After recovering, he went to look for the holy object without stopping. Gong Xichou finished chewing the biscuit and took a sip of warm water: "Mama knows everything about what happened later. Overall, it was a blessing in disguise. If I fight you again today, I will definitely win..."
Chen Tang listened to his story casually, but when he imagined the thrilling scene at that time, he knew that Gong Xichou's life was really between life and death. Just as he was about to sympathize, his words poured cold water on him: "Beat me? Are you so confident?"
Gong Xichou grinned complacently: "I have the intention of a warrior."
The implication is that even if Chen Tang has now broken through to the sixteenth level of the Great Supreme Creation, there is still a gap of a warrior between the two.
Having and not having are two different concepts.
Chen Tang: “…I will have it too!”
Gong Xichou said seriously: "You won't have it!"
The necessary condition for obtaining the will of a warrior is to walk between life and death. As one of the last descendants of the Gongxi clan, Gong Xichou will not allow the most important sacred object of the clan to fall to this point!
Chen Tang: “???”
Ever since Chen Tang led his troops away, Kang Shi and the others had been worried, and after a few days, it seemed that they had lost a lot of heart. It was not until the vanguard scouts brought back good news that everyone was completely relieved.
Chu Yao also apologized to everyone. This matter was caused by him. If he was not so limited in ability, he would not have let the lord take the risk alone and made his colleagues worried.
Chen Tang directly held a banquet to celebrate.
A celebration banquet and a welcoming party.
It is indeed worth celebrating.
This trip yielded four national seals, four fifths of Qianzhou's granaries, and some talent, so they were truly the big winners.
Before the banquet, Lao Cui returned the national seal that he had kept to Chen Tang, and said with a smile: "The property is returned to its original owner, and the jade is returned intact to Zhao."
Chen Tang looked at his luggage and was slightly surprised.
"Mr. Cui, what is this?"
The scholar surnamed Cui blinked, cupped his hands and smiled, "Prince Shen said before that I couldn't go south to avoid disaster until the dust settled. But now that Lord Shen is safe, I don't think Huang Lie, Zhang He and his ilk can threaten him. In this case, I should take my leave."
Shen Tang pursed his lips and said nothing.
After a while, he smiled and said, "It is fate that we meet. Why don't you stay for a while, Mr. Cui? Mr. Cui has been kind to me. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many elite soldiers would have been chasing me with the national seal on me. It is reasonable to treat it with respect to show my gratitude. Besides, Yan and Qian are in chaos and plague. I don't know how much trouble you will encounter if you go alone. It's better to wait a little longer until the fighting between the two states stops. It won't be too late to leave then."
Of course Chen Tang would not let this person go away easily.
He knows so many secrets!
Also, his abilities are pretty interesting.
The ability to conceal the national seal might have other uses
Chen Tang smiled and took his hand, saying amiably, "To be honest, I felt very compatible with you when we first met, and I wanted to get close to you, but I didn't know how. If you don't mind, I am willing to assist me and work together for the great cause. I will repay you with my loyalty in the future."
Lao Cui looked at Shen Tang’s hand.
Shen Tang looked at Lao Cui’s face.
He smiled and said, "How?"
Old Cui sighed and pulled his hand back: "To be honest, Mr. Shen may have made a mistake. I was originally a subordinate of Mr. Wu of Tianhai, but for many years I have not been valued by Mr. Wu and have been frustrated. I am a mediocre person like me, and I am afraid that I will disappoint Mr. Shen's high expectations."
Chen Tang seemed a little "surprised" when he heard this.
He added: "Hey, this... this... Ordinarily, Shen and Brother Zhaode are recognized by the world as having a deep love for each other, so there are some things that Shen should not say. However, it is really sad that you are so self-deprecating, and I have something to say. "
She is going to start stepping on Wu Xian, stepping on one and praising the other!
