459. Chapter 459 Life-saving Golden Elixir
The young general of Chu State Qu Xin was eager to seek merit. When he saw Ji Fen had not escaped on the battlefield, the young general was overjoyed. He held up the long sword in his hand and rushed towards Ji Fen.
Ji Fen had no choice but to raise his sword to fight. Qu Xin's sword was in the Chu State standard, slightly narrow but slightly longer, elegant and agile. He held the long sword flat and stabbed it to Ji Fen's chest.
Ji Fen horizontally sealed the sword in his hand, trying to swing Qu Xin's long sword. However, although Qu Xin's sword was long, his wrists were flexible. Before he could wait for the two swords to collide, he changed his moves to slashing horizontally, and then turned to Ji Fen's neck.
Ji Fen's sword was a little shorter, and he could not reach Qu Xin even if he thrust his sword, but Qu Xin could reach Ji Fen's key points with a long sword. Ji Fen felt even more upset when he saw this. He had to take the war horse to the side and avoid Qu Xin's two consecutive attacks.
Qu Xin took the lead with one move and let go no matter how he was willing to let it go. He then killed with another move, and then the sword was inseparable from Ji Fen's fatality. Ji Fen couldn't help but take care of Qu Xin's attack.
Su Qin was standing on the northern end of the battlefield at this time, and he felt the numbness of his left arm moving upwards, feeling that he might fall down at any time.
He just caught a glimpse of the Qin army commander Ji Fen rushing towards him with gritted teeth. He was shocked and realized that he might be powerless to resist Ji Fen's attack. Just as he was thinking about how to avoid it, he saw Qu Xin taking the lead in taking over Ji Fen's battle, and he couldn't help but feel happy and thanked the young general Qu Xin.
"A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. Young people are energetic and enterprising, and can be used as a big deal at critical moments." Seeing that Qu Xin forced Ji Fen to the point of being in trouble, Su Qin felt a little more favorable to Qu Xin.
Ji Fen and Qu Xin walked for more than ten rounds. He saw that the Qin army had already shown a defeat on the Xipo position. He was even more anxious and showed more flaws in his moves. Qu Xin went all out, and he seized the opportunity and stabbed him under Ji Fen's ribs.
Ji Fen was caught off guard and he couldn't dodge. Qu Xin stabbed Ji Fen's left arm with a sword, reaching two inches deep. Qu Xin dripped out the sword, and blood was dripping at the tip of the sword. Ji Fen shouted in pain: "Ah!" He took a few breaths of cold air, and his fighting spirit disappeared.
If the two armies were evenly matched and they were calm and they were fighting each other, Qu Xin might not have defeated Ji Fen so easily, but Ji Fen was the chief general of the Qin army in this battle. Of course, he was panicked when he saw the Qin army retreating. He still had the mission of commanding the entire army, so he was naturally absent-minded.
Therefore, Ji Fen was defeated in the battle with Qu Xin again. He had no intention of fighting, so he swung his move towards Qu Xin and made a move to attack, but Qu Xin hurriedly hid. However, Ji Fen turned his horse's head and retreated towards Lu Minggu.
When Qu Xin saw that Ji Fen had been defeated, he shouted, "Look at where you can escape!" He shouted, and was about to ride a horse to chase Ji Fen. Su Qin hurriedly shouted behind him, "Stop General Qu, don't chase!"
Qu Xin heard Su Qin's shouting, and he pulled the reins of the war horse and stopped in place. Qu Xin turned around and asked Su Qin: "The Qin army was defeated, and it was time to take advantage of the victory and expand the results of the battle. Why didn't the commander let us pursue it?"
Su Qin replied: "The main army of Qin is led by Sima Cuo and is chasing us behind us. You must be careful. You drive the Qin army out of this valley, and then send troops to guard the entrance of Luming Valley. Don't let them kill them back. I will lead the troops of Qi and Zhao here to try to intercept Sima Cuo's pursuit."
As Su Qin said, all the sweat on his face fell off. At this time, his upper body was numb and painful, and he felt tired and weak, and he had to work hard to speak loudly.
Qu Xin also noticed Su Qin's strangeness. He walked to Su Qin's face, looked at Su Qin's pale face, then looked at the arrow wound on his left arm, and asked with concern: "Can Su Lingyin's body be able to bear it?"
Su Qin waved his hand and signaled that it would not matter. However, Qu Xin could see that he was trying hard to support him, and he also felt strange: "How can such an arrow injury that seems to be not serious can cause such serious consequences?"
A thought suddenly flashed through his mind and blurted out: "Can the arrows that Su Lingyin quenched the poison?"
When Su Qin heard Qu Xin's words and compared his body's feelings, he was almost certain that Pang Ci's hidden arrow was indeed tampered with.
Su Qin couldn't help but be afraid of Pang Ci's intentions and thought to himself: "How could this person who is as fair and gentle as a scholar be so vicious? It seems that he is deliberately trying to take my life and avenge his brother."
When Su Qin thought of this, he sighed and nodded to Qu Xin. Seeing this, Qu Xin hurriedly called one of his own school soldiers and said, "Go and find my Central Army seal."
The schoolman in charge stared at Qu Xin with his eyes staring at Qu Xin. He couldn't imagine that Qu Xin would actually take the seal at this time. He thought to himself: "There is still a mess on the battlefield at this time. Do you have to fiddle with the seal?"
Not only was he surprised, Su Qin also felt strange and stared at Qu Xin, not knowing what he was going to do.
Due to surprise, the school clerk did not react. Qu Xin shouted to him again: "I asked you to get the seal, have you heard it?"
The schoolman reacted at this time. He hurriedly turned around and saw clearly where the Central Army of Chu was, ran there, and reported the orders of the chief general Qu Xin to the captain who was guarding the Central Army. The captain opened the door of the central army's chariot, took out a brocade box from it, and asked him to transfer it to Qu Xin.
The school servant ran back again and respectfully handed over the brocade box. Qu Xin took it, touched the secret buckle of the brocade box, and opened the lid of the brocade box.
Su Qin thought Qu Xin was going to take out the seal, and stared at Qu Xin's hand intently. However, what Qu Xin took out the seal from the brocade box was not a seal, but a small gourd-shaped bottle. The bottle was made of wood hollowed out the center, and the outside was painted with vermilion-red Chu's fine paint, which shone quietly.
Qu Xin poured three pills of red pills from the bottle with his mouth downwards. He reached out and handed the pills to Su Qin, saying, "Please take these three pills quickly. Although it may not necessarily eradicate the poison you are in, it can at least relieve the properties of the pills and make people feel refreshed."
Su Qin asked: "What magical pill is this? It has such a strange effect?"
Qu Xin replied: "There are many strange flowers and plants in the Chu State in my country. This pill is boiled and extracted from Ganoderma lucidum grass. It is called the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. The effect is very magical. Please take it as soon as possible."
When Su Qin heard the name of the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, his eyes widened. This kind of pill is very precious. It is said that he can't buy one of the pills for a hundred gold coins. Today, he actually saw three pills at the same time. It's incredible.
But he had no great kindness to Qu Xin, so why did he have the nerve to take the other person's three Nine-Turn Golden Pills at once? He hesitated, wondering if he should take it.
Qu Xin saw Su Qin's thoughts and said happily: "Coach, don't hesitate anymore. If you take pills late, you may be afraid that the poison in your body will completely attack after the hour, and it will be too late to rescue it."
Su Qin thought about it, Qu Xin was right at all. If this poison was penetrated into the liver, kidney and other internal organs of the body, I was afraid that the gods would not be able to save him. He looked at Qu Xin with gratitude and said, "In this way, I would be more respectful than obedient. I took General Qu Xin's Nine-Turn Golden Pill first. I will definitely return it to General Qu in the future."
Su Qin took Qu Xin's pill, swallowed it into his mouth, and sent it with saliva. After that, he thanked Qu Xin again: "I will repay your life-saving grace in the future."
Speaking of this, although he was the head coach, he bowed slightly to Qu Xin. But Qu Xin waved his hands one after another and said, "Su Lingyin doesn't have to be polite. You have also been kind to me. I am willing to respect and praise me."
Qu Xin actually thanked Su Qin for his teachings and support from the bottom of his heart. In the process of punishing Jing Feng and Chen Zhen, Su Qin also invisibly helped Qu Xin establish his authority in the Chu army. Today in the Battle of Xipo, if Su Qin had not come to rescue him in time, the Chu army would have been slaughtered by the Qin army here.
Out of sincere support from his heart, Qu Xin gave Su Qin three of the precious medicine Nine-Turn Golden Pills of Chu that he carried with him, and only two were left in his medicine bottle.
After Su Qin took the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, a heat suddenly felt a rise in his abdomen, like a ball of fire burning his stomach and intestines. With another rumbling sound in his abdomen, it was like bubbles in the water constantly blooming.
However, this heat is not painful to make people feel hot, but on the contrary, it is like the charcoal fire in the wild winter, which makes people feel very comfortable and useful.
Su Qin felt that his numbness and pain gradually faded away from his upper body. Although there were still pains in his body, his nerves became clearer and clearer, and the strength in his body slowly recovered.
Qu Xin saw that Su Qin's expression turned to a good direction, and the person seemed much more energetic and his eyes were no longer as unsightly as before. He knew that his Nine-Turn Golden Elixir had the effect of the medicine he should have.
Qu Xin's Nine-Turn Golden Pill also came from his father Qu Jian. Qu Jian, a senior doctor in Chu State, was responsible for managing the affairs of the Chu State's royal family. He could be called a powerful minister of Chu State's words. He only had such a precious son. He didn't like literary since he was a child, but liked to dance with swords and sticks, and later joined the army.
This time, Qu Xin insisted on following the troops to the front line of Mianchi, but Qu Jian could not stop him, so he tried every means to ask someone to plead with King Xiong Shang of Chu and found a position as the chief general for him.
Qu Jian thought: "Since you have to go to the front line, of course, the main general is the safest. There are many people protecting you. Even if you fight to the point where only one person is left, the main general is the one who should be left the most."
