Han De returned to the city in triumph, and Han Sui was extremely surprised. He had not held much hope at first, but he did not expect that Song Long could actually fight against two great generals.
Song Long also fell when he dismounted from his horse. Han Sui was shocked and quickly ordered people to carry him to the government office and called a military doctor to treat him.
Song Long waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm just exhausted, just rest for two days."
Han Deyan said, "I saw Zhang Fei also fall when he dismounted from his horse. I'm afraid his injuries are no less serious than those of the Crown Prince."
Song Long sneered, "Zhang Fei has been poisoned by my secret technique, and it is not my unique antidote. He can never fight again."
Han Sui was surprised and asked, "Is Zhang Fei going to die?"
Song Long shook his head and said, "My master is a great monk who has attained enlightenment and is a living Buddha. How could he kill?"
Han Sui frowned and said, "There are also talented doctors in the Central Plains. If it is just poisoning, I am afraid it will not work for Zhang Fei."
Song Long smiled confidently and said, "This is not poison, it is harmless to people, it will only make them lose their strength, it has the power to subdue tigers and dragons, even the elephants of the Kushan Kingdom will fall to the ground and not get up, it is specially designed to subdue evil demons and tyrannical people, wear down their hearts and minds, and stop them from doing evil."
Han De asked in confusion: "Why did the prince's strength increase so dramatically?"
Song Long smiled and said, "Master used the water from the sacred spring to bathe me, and I have already cultivated a golden body. This medicine is a magic medicine to subdue demons for the enemy, but for me, it is a magic pill to boost my strength."
Han Sui didn't know whether it was true or not, so he ordered, "Hurry up and prepare mutton soup and beef to replenish the prince's energy."
Song Long said, "I have my own magic elixir. Please prepare one pound of sheep kidney, bezoar, snake gall, one ounce of boy's blood, and tiger bone for soup."
"Don't worry, we have everything you need!" Han Sui hurriedly ordered someone to get it done.
Han De was shocked when he heard this. He handed over the copper bell in his arms and said, "Fortunately, I remembered what the prince told me. If it weren't for this bell, I would have almost rushed into the enemy camp."
Han Sui was also confused and asked, "I wonder if this technique of the prince will make him lose his mind?"
Song Long knew the two's doubts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I haven't lost my mind, but my blood is boiling and I am easily impulsive. This magic bell can make me sober. Please keep it for the next few days, General Han."
Han De breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put away the bell, and personally accompanied Song Long back to rest.
Seeing that this man could deal with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and even make the enemy lose their strength, Han Sui became more confident and immediately invited Cheng Gongying to come and discuss matters.
…
In the Han army camp, everyone surrounded Zhang Fei and questioned him. It was incredible that he could be exhausted after dealing with an unknown person in less than half an hour.
Zhang Fei was also impatient with the question and waved his hand, "I'm fine, just a little tired. It may be that I caught a cold due to the unfamiliar climate. I'll be fine after a good sleep."
Ji Miao examined him for a while, frowned and said: "General Zhang has no signs of poisoning. Perhaps it's just that the medicine powder is spicy and the tears have caused the seven orifices to be blocked, and he has temporarily lost his strength."
Zhang Fei asked again: "Zilong's spear skills today seem to be quite different from before. Is there any improvement?"
The topic suddenly turned to Zhao Yun, and everyone was shocked when they thought of the move he used to defeat Song Long.
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Yes, when I entered Shu a few years ago, I passed by the foot of Qingcheng Mountain one day and saw two snakes, one green and one white, fighting. I had some insights, and recently I combined the original moves and named it Seven-Probe Snake Spear..."
Liu Qi's heart moved, and he asked hurriedly: "Can you separate the two snakes?"
Zhao Yun was startled, then shook his head and said, "The green snake was in the cracks of the rocks, and the white snake was in the cave. When they saw a stranger approaching, they separated."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes at Liu Qi, thinking that Liu Qi was asking some weird questions. He continued to ask about Zhao Yun's spear skills. Zhao Yun only said that he had some initial insights, but only one or two moves, and no system.
Zhang Fei sighed after hearing this, "I reunited with my second brother during the Chinese New Year. He said that he had recently obtained a copy of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals and had gained a lot of insights. He even had some insights into martial arts and was practicing a new sword technique, which he named Spring and Autumn. You are all making progress, and I cannot rest on my laurels. I must come up with some new moves as well."
Kou Feng complained, "You two seniors are still working hard to improve, how can we, the younger generation, survive?"
Everyone laughed, sweeping away the previous gloom, and continued to discuss the issue of sending troops. They sent people to inquire about the news of the Xiliang army. This Song Long's tactics were despicable and insidious, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Liu Qi sighed, "I think there must be something strange about the bell in Hande's hand. If Shi A and the others were here, they could enter the city and steal it, and it would be easy to deal with this thief."
Kou Fengyan said: "Why don't we ring a bell and shake it in front of the formation to harass him?"
"This is a great plan!" Liu Qi was delighted and immediately ordered Kou Feng to do it, and he made sure the voices were the same.
The next day, the spy reported that Song Long was also bedridden after returning, and it would take three days for him to recover his strength. Everyone was relieved then, as both of them were poisoned by the powder and their symptoms were probably similar.
At this time, the pontoon bridge had been built. Liu Qi ordered Lei Tong to lead 5,000 troops to the north bank to guard the camp and strengthen the defense so that they could support Zhang Ren at any time.
Three days later, Zhang Fei still felt unsteady on his feet and his limbs were weak. He could only walk normally but could not ride a horse or hold a sword.
Just when they were wondering, someone reported that Han De had arrived again. The generals went out of the camp and saw Song Long also in front of the battle line. He looked energetic and had recovered a long time ago.
Liu Qi frowned and said, "It seems that there is something strange about this thief. We must capture him and interrogate him strictly."
Song Long rode out and laughed wildly, "Liu Qi, since you know my ability, why don't you retreat quickly? From now on, Longxi and even Xiliang will be named Song instead of Liu!"
Zhao Yun said nothing, but rode out on his horse, thrusting his Longdan Spear straight at Song Long like a meteor chasing the moon, ready to take him down as quickly as possible without giving him a chance to deploy his poison.
Song Long knew very well that Zhao Yun was powerful. He was almost stabbed by him even when using medicine. He had been secretly on guard. He roared and brandished his sword to block. However, in less than ten rounds, he was killed in a panic and could not defend himself.
The two men fought on the field. Zhao Yun's speed was so fast that only a blurry shadow of the gun could be seen. Looking at Song Long again, it was as if he was moving left and right in slow motion, extremely clumsy.
Song Long was stabbed by the spear several times and became furious. He shouted and wanted to attack, but Zhao Yun attacked him fiercely and he was unable to move his hands. He was so angry that he screamed.
If he had not wanted to question him, he would have been able to stab him to death with one spear. The tip of the spear pierced Song Long's shoulder blade, and while his sword was unstable, Zhao Yun reached out to grab Song Long.
Song Long let out a loud roar, and a puff of yellow smoke suddenly spurted out from the blade and rushed towards Zhao Yun's face. The two were so close to each other that there was no way to avoid it.
Just as Liu Qi and others were shouting to be careful, they saw Zhao Yun suddenly spin on his horse and hang upside down under the horse's belly like a gymnast, and a white horse galloped past.
When Song Long saw Zhao Yun suddenly disappear, he was slightly startled, and immediately sprinkled a handful of medicine powder and quickly went into a state of frenzy. Although blood was pouring from his shoulder, he was unaware of it.
Kou Feng was horrified and exclaimed: "If it were anyone else, they would definitely be caught."
Liu Qi nodded slightly. Zhao Yun's agility and quickness were not only reflected in his spear skills, but also in his personal reaction, which was the fastest among all the generals. Otherwise, how could he have never been injured in his life and become a victorious general
Zhao Yun got back on his horse again, waited for the powder to be blown away by the wind, then urged his horse on again and started fighting with the violent Song Long.
"Is this a human or a demon?" Song Long's body was half stained with blood, and he looked like a madman. Liu Qi didn't expect to encounter such a strange thing, so he ordered: "Ring the bell!"
