Chapter 28: Disembowelment and Survival from Despair
What Beigong Arhat said made Sun Wu feel unbelievable for a moment. He even thought that Beigong Arhat was insane and was talking nonsense. But then, many inexplicable things came together in his mind and were answered.
.26nbsp;
That night in the military camp, Wenwen was used as bait and poisoned. On the way out, the Iron-Blooded Knight would rather sacrifice himself to save her life. Why?
The Buddha's blood relic is a must-have for the Iron-Blooded Cavalry, but from Tuoba Zhanyue to the lower members, everyone looks embarrassed, as if they can't get the relic. Yuwen Guihe, who has the deepest friendship with Beigong Luohan,
He even offered more help and wanted to send the relics out. Why?
During the five days of the challenge, Beigong Luohan clearly had many opportunities to resolve the battle with one move, but he never made a heavy move. Even at such an important final moment tonight, he woke up the enemy first.
Give a final chance. Why?
The answer to these questions is not because the Iron-Blooded Cavalry is afraid of the Juyang Martial God, but because no one wants to see Commander Beigong, who has sacrificed so much for Kucha, even sacrifice his only remaining daughter. To save the country
, is the common belief of every iron-blooded knight. In order to achieve this goal, they can sacrifice everything, even themselves, but asking Beigong Arhat to sacrifice his daughter is a sentence that no one can say, and no one wants to say.
Exit...except Beigong Luohan himself.
Because of this, Beigong Luohan became the strongest hawk in the Iron-Blooded Cavalry who advocated pearl retrieval. When he loudly advocated that for the sake of the country, his daughter should be removed by caesarean section to retrieve the pearl, others not only agreed, but even looked him in the eye.
None of them can do it. For the Iron-Blooded Cavalry, the Buddha's blood relic has changed from a goal that must be obtained to a real hot potato.
But even after he understood this, Sun Wu still had some confusion, "You... you are Wenwen's father, and Mrs. Danniang..."
"Danniang is my married wife. In order to spy on the information about Zhongtu Dog, she joined the Alliance many years ago and rose to the rank of hall leader. This time she risked her life to steal the relic and wanted to return to Kucha with us...
She has been waiting for this day for many years..."
Therefore, it is not that she is traitorous to her country for glory, nor is Mrs. Danniang who is greedy for money and steals relics to foreigners for money. She is originally the wife of Beigong Arhat, a spy lurking in the alliance, and she does these things for her husband.
It's not surprising.
"Mrs. Danniang is willing to do these things for her husband. She must love this man very much and the relationship between the couple is very good, right? By the way, Mrs. Danniang said to Wenwen that she would take her to find her father... Originally, at that time
They should be reunited as a family in the inn."
Those images flashed through Sun Wu's mind. Before he could wake up from the shock, he found that Beigong Luohan was still holding on to his feet.
"No, I won't let you go there... The Buddha's blood relic... must be taken back to the country. No... I can't let you take it away..."
Beigong Arhat, who was speaking intermittently and coughing, was lying in a pool of blood in an extremely embarrassed state. He completely lost the majestic aura of the exotic sword demon. He looked like a down-and-out homeless man, but one of his hands was still tight.
Grab Sun Wu's feet and prevent him from walking towards the barrier formation.
"You! You are such a strange person. That is your daughter. Mrs. Danniang is gone. The only hope is that your daughter can be safe. Are you so eager to push your daughter to die? What kind of father are you!"
"I...I am a military commander in Kucha. It is my mission to protect Kucha. Every child in Kucha is my child. Now that the country is in danger, how can I only ask for the survival of my own daughter? Such kind of
Things...how can I do it?"
Beigong Arhat almost roared out these words. Sun Wu originally wanted to say something back, but the moment Beigong Arhat raised his head, Sun Wu was completely stunned and could not say anything.
His face covered with dirt and scars was filled with tears. Sun Wu had never thought that a grown man would cry, especially a rough man like Beigong Luohan. But maybe he was wrong, no matter how heroic he was, he could cry.
Courageous men can also cry. When Beigong Arhat fell to the ground and spoke, tears were already flowing wildly... Or maybe, it was not that time, but earlier, in the past few days, he advocated killing women to get pearls every time.
...When he learned that the Buddha's blood relics were buried in his daughter's body...and when he learned that his wife died with her body broken, this seemingly upright and ruthless man shed tears in his heart.
"...Um, that stupid woman... I told her clearly not to act rashly and not to steal the Buddha's blood relics. We will be responsible for everything, but she..."
It is hard to imagine that the Beigong Sword Demon, who is respected by everyone outside the territory, would be crying like this with tears and tears. The blood stains on the wound were wetted with tears and sweat, and it was really stained with blood and tears. Such a face, there is no trace of it.
There was no majesty at all, and there was no sense of oppression, but Sun Wu looked at this face with tears streaming down his face, unable to express any blame or say a single word, until a figure flew through the air, and in an instant he ducked into the barrier formation.
, picked up the crystal.
"ah!"
Sun Wu was startled, and then he realized that the person who came was Takuba Zangetsu. The iron-blooded captain came nearby at some unknown time. As soon as he appeared, he picked up the crystal and walked in the direction of Sun Wu.
"Uncle Beigong, forget it, the matter is over. It is destiny that the Buddha's blood relics are not mine in Kucha. Since we lose, I am willing to abide by the agreement and let him take away the Buddha's blood relics."
Tuoba Zhanyue handed the crystal to Sun Wu, and then leaned down to help Beigong Arhat. Sun Wu first discovered that the crystal was not as heavy as expected, and seemed to be melting and dissipating. Then he discovered that Tuoba Zhanyue's body was covered with blood, as if
Just experienced a fierce fight.
Shocked by this discovery, Sun Wu then noticed the faint sound of killing coming, not just from a single direction, but from all directions. If they were all enemies, it was obvious that the place was surrounded by enemies.
Tuoba Zangyue showed up for the showdown, and Xiaoshang and Xiangling no longer needed to hide. They emerged from the darkness and met Sun Wu. At this time, the sound of killing nearby had become more obvious. Sun Wu was 100% sure that the enemy would kill them.
coming.
"It's the officers and soldiers and the Alliance. There are a lot of people here. Kuang Monk and Yuan Chenfeng are here. They have surrounded the surrounding area. Commander Yuwen has led everyone to resist from the beginning. I am here to tell you that if you leave from the east, there will be
There is a trail specially reserved by us that the enemy has not discovered yet. You can escape safely by walking that way."
"How can this work? What about you?"
"You are our guests, how can there be any reason to let the guests go out to fight at this time? Besides, if you don't think so, do you want to fight side by side with us to kill the Chinese native dogs?"
Sun Wu couldn't answer. If he wanted to save the Iron-Blooded Knight, he would indeed have no hesitation, but if he was asked to take the initiative to kill someone, he couldn't do such a thing. And when Xiao Shang pulled his sleeve behind him, he also woke up.
Come over and understand that Tuoba Zhanyue wants him to take Wenwen away and not stay here to wade in troubled waters.
Neither Wenwen nor the Buddha's blood relic is suitable to stay here, because the enemy is powerful and has been surrounded. Whether the Iron-Blooded Cavalry can survive this level is really unknown. Even if the entire Iron-Blooded Cavalry is annihilated
, Wenwen will definitely be executed, and the Buddha's blood relics will also fall into the hands of the enemy. Instead of doing this, it is better to place our hope on Sun Wu first. If someone can escape, they can at least come to Sun Wu to ask for someone.
When Sun Wu understood this, he didn't say anything more. Taking Xiao Shang and Xiang Ling with him, Sun Wu left quickly. Before leaving, he took a special look at Beigong Luohan, this brave swordsman who has always been obsessed with the Buddha's blood relics.
Without saying a word to him, his eyes stared straight at the little girl in the crystal.
Sun Wu believed that what Beigong Arhat was looking at was not the Buddha's blood relic, because his gaze was surprisingly gentle, like attachment and reluctance. It was... the look of a father.
Relying on the cover of the Iron Blood Cavalry, Sun Wu and others successfully escaped from the path and found a hiding place nearby to hide.
If you rely on the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield to protect you, hiding can be said to be foolproof. However, when Xiaoshang, Sun Wu, and Xiangling were crammed inside, they were already extremely cramped. Now there is another Wenwen, and it is impossible to fit them in, so we have to
Also find a place to hide.
"Xiao Shang, you didn't think it through when you first designed it. If you had thought of this at that time, you wouldn't have to go to so much trouble now."
"Laws! It was originally designed to be a defensive weapon for two people. Do you think it is a refuge room for dozens of people? If you have any complaints, go ahead and build one yourself."
"Your words are just like asking the guests to cook the dishes themselves when they criticize the chef's cooking skills; and asking readers to write their own books when they criticize the author for not being good at writing. It's so unreasonable."
"Guests and readers have paid. Do you want to put in coins first every time you use my magic weapon?"
Xiao Shang refuted Sun Wu's conversation, which made Xiang Ling laugh secretly. However, he did not join either of them. He just took out the medicine cloth bandage and prepared to clean Sun Wu's wound later.
The place where the four people were hiding was an underground cave, half of which was sunk underground, and the entrance was extremely hidden. After Xiangling chopped down some trees and piled them up, the inside was basically invisible from the outside, but it was still possible to go inside the cave.
I could vaguely hear the sound of wind outside, the sound of fighting, and the increasingly intense firelight.
Sun Wu said: "Ah! They set fire to the mountain, how vicious they are."
Xiang Ling said: "To deal with the Iron Blood Cavalry, setting fire to the mountains is a natural strategy. Otherwise, if they give up fighting and use all their cavalry to break out, others may not be able to stop them. So setting fire to the mountains is a natural strategy, but there are other things.
I wasn’t expecting it.”
No one is perfect. Xiangling had never thought that Wenwen would be Beigong Luohan's biological daughter. This was beyond her expectation. However, she also felt that although she did not know, Xiao Shang
Maybe I knew it a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't be so calm.
"Yes, I knew it a few days ago." Xiao Shang glanced at Xiang Ling and said calmly: "I did a DNA test for their father and daughter, which confirmed that they are indeed biological father and daughter."
"Wha, what? How is such a thing done?"
Xiangling was really surprised, but Sun Wu, who was very familiar with Xiao Shang's habits, didn't find it strange. Xiao Shang had the habit of spreading a large number of bugs, which are ultra-micro biological magic weapons that are smaller than mosquitoes and flies.
, staying in the human body to extract blood, which is invisible and extremely difficult to detect. Xiao Shang relied on this ability to establish the genetic sample of the entire Liangshanbo.
Xiaoshang glanced at Xiangling and said, "By the way, you have no blood relationship with this crybaby boy, and you are not the daughter of Beigong Arhat."
"I know this kind of thing!"
Xiao Shang scratched his hair and said, "You have no blood relationship with me either."
"of course."
Xiangling's answer was both angry and funny, but she was really surprised by Xiaoshang's ability. Being able to steal people's blood unknowingly was really amazing, but if Xiaoshang had evil intentions and was drawing blood
In the moment of liquid, wouldn't it be...
"The difficulty is too high. Whether it is to carry weight on the eavesdropping bug or to add additional space inside the bug, there are technical difficulties and it will not be able to fly, so it cannot be done."
As if he had seen through Xiang Ling's thoughts, Xiao Shang answered directly. But when Sun Wu asked about the estimate of the battle situation, both Xiao Shang and Xiang Ling seemed pessimistic.
Although the Iron-Blooded Knights are brave, their numbers are small after all. They were able to achieve so many achievements in the past mainly because their whereabouts were erratic and unpredictable. However, this time they were caught in a siege and under the joint attack of the government and the Alliance, they were basically
The situation is over.
Among the three elite combatants who could turn the tide, Beigong Luohan was seriously injured, and Yuwen Guihe was also seriously injured in the morning battle. As for Tuoba Zhanyue's situation, it was even more serious. He suffered two consecutive injuries in a short period of time.
Using the sacrificial sword for the first time has simply exceeded the endurance limit of the body. It is definitely dangerous to fight the enemy in this state. And if you reluctantly use the sacrificial sword for the third time, it will be a 'suicide' act of narrow escape.
Xiao Shang said: "If there are no accidents, at this time tomorrow, the Iron-Blooded Cavalry will disappear from the world. China-Earth has been relieved of a great harm. It is really gratifying and gratifying."
A few days ago, Sun Wu would have completely agreed with this idea, but now he could not nod so easily. Getting along with the iron-blooded knights had indeed accumulated a lot of affection, and Sun Wu had a good impression of these blond and blue-eyed foreign men.
Although they were indeed ruthless when committing crimes, and their deep hatred for the Chinese people could be heard in their conversations, at least when they got along with each other, these people were sincere and straightforward, showing the majesty of foreign men, which impressed Sun Wu very well.
.
"Those who kill will always be killed. This is a rule of law where the weak prey on the strong. Not to mention that the cases committed by the Iron-Blooded Cavalry are all about killing chickens and dogs. They should have this awareness."
Xiangling helped Sun Wu wipe the blood on his feet and carefully clicked on the acupuncture points on his legs to help reduce swelling and pain. While doing medical work, he said: "Master, if you want to intervene,
The servant thinks that the war is absolutely necessary and will stop it, because with your current foot injury, any fight is too reluctant. Please understand our position. Moreover, if you participate in this war, the consequences will be with the alliance and the government.
Being an enemy will bring endless troubles, so please bear with your anger for the moment."
Sun Wu himself knew the difficulty in this aspect. He was not a person who liked fighting. He only learned martial arts for self-defense. Now his feet were so painful that he was about to lose consciousness. He also had many wounds on his body. He really didn't want to participate in fighting anymore.
However, as I sit here, listening to the sounds of fighting and screams outside, there is always an uncontrollable throbbing in my chest. It is very hot and makes people restless, as if urging me to do something, that kind of feeling.
It feels like when I was in Liangshanbo, I always wanted to pursue my dreams outside. There is no difference between the two burning feelings.
"Xiaoshang..."
He didn't mean to ask a question, but when the dilemma was put in front of him, Sun Wu naturally looked at Xiao Shang and wanted to hear her opinion.
"Dad said, in fact, you are just a kid, don't think about too many complicated things. What responsibilities and positions, that kind of thing has nothing to do with children at all, and the Buddha's blood relic is not what he asked you to come out to find.
You don't have to worry about these complicated things... the rest, you know what he will say."
It couldn't be more clear indeed. Sun Wu still remembered the image of his father delivering the letter that day. Although the old man sitting on the hospital bed was coughing up blood, he still did not lose his pride and spoke words of encouragement to himself.
"Xiao Wu, you left home to retrieve the Buddha's blood relics, but we didn't let you and Xiao Shang leave home just to let you find the relics. Do you remember that dad told you before that men in this world
What is the most important meaning of life? It is to pursue your dreams!"
Judging from the current results, I really failed my father's expectations. Not only did I achieve nothing and did not recover the relic, but I also made mistakes. If I had not defeated Beigong Arhat just now, the Iron-Blooded Cavalry would not be in such a difficult situation.
Maybe now there will be a chance to break out of the siege.
"Master, please be quieter, the sound of fighting seems to be getting closer this way."
Xiang Ling pointed at Sun Wu, secretly thinking that in order to cover the four of them, the Iron Blood Cavalry should try their best to lure the enemy away. Now that the sound of fighting is getting closer and closer, it shows that the Iron Blood Cavalry is no longer able to control the situation. This is really very important.
It's not good, because if you get too close, the enemy will probably find them here when they search for survivors after the battle, and it will be very troublesome at that time.
Sun Wudao: "By the way, let's not talk about external matters for now. What should Xiaoshang, Xiangling and Wenwen do here?"
After a lot of hard work, Wenwen was finally rescued, but facing the rapidly melting crystal, a hot potato was waiting to be thrown here. Sun Wu was anxious to think of a way to rescue her.
Although Xiang Ling has some medical knowledge, this problem cannot be solved by ordinary medicine. In the end, he still has to rely on Xiao Shang.
"The sealing method used by the enemy is quite vicious. The Buddha's blood relic is sealed near the heart, and may even slowly merge with the heart. Only Fei Lianxiu's heavenly eye in the world can suppress the activation of the Buddha's blood relic, but
If we want to truly cure it, I'm afraid only a strong man of the level of One Emperor and Three Sects can manage to remove it, or..."
Xiao Shang said: "Or you can use the method used by the enemy, relying on a large number of mechanical equipment to create energy, and using appropriate tools, you can also take out the relics. Probably... as long as there is something the size of a Feiyun ship, I can do it
Use its reactor and equipment to modify it and remove the relics without hurting anyone."
"Don't you have to cooperate with the moonlight or something?"
"That was used by Yuwen Guihe to deceive Beigong Luohan and buy you time. You don't really believe it, do you? However, these things must be completed within half an hour... Well, there are only twenty-eight minutes left.
Forty seconds."
"Why, why?"
"That crystal was used by Yuwen Guihe to hang up Xiao Wenwen's life in the past few days by draining his own energy. Now that the energy source of the crystal has been cut off, the ice will be lifted at any time. Do you think Xiao Wenwen can survive?
Until tomorrow morning?”
In a word, if Wenwen is sentenced to death, even if she can rush outside, where can she get a Feiyun ship in a hurry? Where can she find Fei Lianxiu?
There was silence in the cave for a moment, and suddenly a small moan sounded. Sun Wu turned around to look, and saw that the frozen crystal had completely melted, and Wenwen woke up and was moaning softly in pain.
"Xiao, brother Xiaowu..."
"I'm here."
Ignoring the pain in his feet, Sun Wu hurried over in three steps and two steps at a time. He found that the red light on Wenwen's chest was so dazzling that even through her clothes, it was still very hot to the touch.
Even through his clothes, there is still such heat. If such a heat source is placed in the body, wouldn't it boil the blood? Sun Wu thought of this, but had no idea how to alleviate Wenwen's pain. He just wanted to ask Xiao Shang for help.
But he saw Xiao Shang walking deeper into the cave.
"What are you going to do, Xiaoshang? At this time..."
Xiangling noticed Sun Wu's question and walked over to take a look, but then she heard an exclamation.
"Xiao, Miss Xiao Shang, why are you taking off your clothes?"
"Lusululuosuo, I'm changing my clothes. Haven't you Wanzilou seen this kind of sexy uniform?"
Xiao Shang seemed to be doing something. Sun Wu didn't know why she went to change clothes at this time. Just as he was about to ask, Wenwen raised her hand with difficulty and held Sun Wu's palm.
"Brother Xiao Wu, I...I saw my father..."
Sun Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that Wenwen had said before that he saw his father's tall and mighty appearance. At that time, he thought she was dreaming, but now that he thinks about it, Wenwen had already seen Beigong Arhat at that time. Maybe
She didn't know Beigong Arhat's identity as a foreigner, but she knew that man was her father.
"Dad... is just like what my mother said, he is a very gentle and good man. He has been talking to me these past few days, saying that he is very sorry for me and my mother, and even shed tears sadly. My father... is really a good person.
A very gentle person.”
Sun Wu remembered that during the past few days of fighting, Beigong Arhat almost always had his back turned to him. At the time, he thought he was using this to show disdain, but it turned out that he was using this to cherish the remaining time he had with his daughter. The one with his back turned to him
His face was probably filled with tears most of the time... If he had known this, should he have given up and not disturb the few remaining opportunities for their father and daughter to get along?
"Wenwen is so happy to see her father... Wenwen has a father, and she is no longer a child without a father. But, brother Xiao Wu, why...daddy wants to kill Wenwen?"
Sun Wu couldn't answer the little girl's tearful questions, so he could only hold her hand tightly and try to comfort her.
"Did Wenwen do anything wrong? Why did dad kill Wenwen? Dad also said sorry to Wenwen, but... I didn't do anything wrong. Mom said that only children who do wrong things will not be loved by their parents.
Did she, Brother Xiaowu, Wenwen do something bad?"
Sun Wu couldn't answer before because he didn't know how to explain Beigong Luohan's position. In fact, even Sun Wu himself didn't fully understand it. But this time he couldn't answer because of the high heat he felt in his palms and the little girl's chest.
The red light began to spread rapidly, extending towards the entire torso and limbs. Wherever it passed, the body temperature soared.
If this continues, Wenwen will soon turn into a ball of flame. Sun Wu wants to try to transport internal energy to suppress it, but he doesn't know how to start. Just as he is feeling helpless, a ray of cold light flashes, and a thin silver needle pricks
Above Zhong Wenwen's head, the already extremely tired little girl fainted all of a sudden, and a clear tear slowly flowed from the corner of her eye.
"Xiang, Xiangling, what are you doing?"
From the technique of 'shooting' the needle, Sun Wu recognized Xiang Ling's shot, and then saw her walking out of the shadows quickly.
"I'm sorry, Master. Miss Wenwen's talking like this will only make her physical strength more exhausted. I'll knock her out first. This will make it easier for her to be treated later."
"treat?"
Sun Wu was stunned and puzzled. His thinking these days has become a deadlock. Everyone said that it was impossible to take out the relic without any injuries. If you want to take it out, you can only disembowel it. Even Xiao Shang said it himself just now. Unless there is one emperor and three sects,
Masters of the series are required to help, otherwise a huge machine of the size of the Feiyun Ship is needed, otherwise there is no way to save it. Why does this sentence of treatment come from?
"Didn't you say that you are not saved? Then how to treat it?"
"Operation!"
The little Shang who was speaking appeared from behind. Sun Wu was so stunned when he saw her appearance that he even dropped Wenwen's hand in fear.
After changing into a green robe that covered her neck to her feet, Xiao Shang put on a mask and a hat on her head. Half of her hair was not exposed, and she wore rubber gloves on her hands.
He took the sharp knife that Xiang Ling handed from the side and walked slowly towards this side.
The sharp cold light of the knife, combined with the weird surgical clothes and the unstable knife-holding posture, really made people shudder. Especially, in Sun Wu's memory, Xiao Shang seemed not to understand medical science, and he also
It is disturbing enough to imagine that such a person, who has never done any medical treatment, suddenly puts on a doctor's robe and says he wants to undergo surgery.
"Xiao, Xiaoshang, have you ever done this kind of thing in Liangshanbo before?"
"Don't worry, don't worry, Xiaoshang has a lot of experience in operating surgery, more than 100,000 hours."
"One hundred thousand hours? I heard you were dying, so... what's your success rate?"
"hundred percent."
"So strong? What about your patients? How are they doing after surgery?"
Faced with this problem, Xiao Shang ignored the sharpness of the scalpel, held the knife to his neck and made a sharp cutting motion, and proudly said: "No one survived! The success rate is 100%!"
"Ah? All of them died? What kind of surgery did you do?"
"Who told you that I've had surgery? I only perform experiments under the knife, and I'm responsible for disembowelling people and dismantling bombs. I'm an expert at what Beigong Luohan was supposed to do."
"Devil! You are a devil!"
Sun Wu hurriedly tried to stop him, but he saw Xiang Ling holding a few machines out of the shadows. Judging by the shape, they were probably Xiao Shang's luggage. Although he didn't know what they were, Sun Wu felt a little more confident.
No more words, waiting to see Xiao Shang’s actions.
However, Xiaoshang did not welcome this bystander and drove him to the entrance of the cave to take charge of keeping the wind while he and Xiangling moved inside.
Of course, Sun Wu couldn't accept this arrangement. He had to monitor it on site to prevent Xiao Shang from doing anything derailed. However, Xiao Shang threw him a task that he couldn't refuse.
"During the operation, as soon as the Buddha's blood relic comes into contact with the air, it will be sensed by people and they will search here. So for the safety of the operation, I will give you something later. If you hold it in your mouth and run out, the enemy will
It will induce a feeling and chase you alone."
That would undoubtedly involve putting oneself at risk, but Sun Wu didn't have any objection to this. On the contrary, he couldn't accept the idea of stuffing things into his mouth.
"It's a no-brainer if you don't want to, because this thing can only be induced by the enemy if it's in your body. If you don't want to use Han's, then another option is..."
Xiao Shang picked up a thick branch from the side. After looking at the size, he whispered: "Use this branch and stuff it directly from your butt. Not only is it safer than putting it in your mouth, but it also has a billion
There is a one-in-one chance that you will open up the meridians in half of your body and your martial arts will improve by leaps and bounds."
"I...I will put it in my mouth. But, is that enough? If the enemy is not lured away by me and comes in to 'harass' you, then you..."
"Don't worry about us! If that happens, I will immediately detonate the gunpowder buried nearby. Except for me who is hiding in the Kowloon Divine Fire Cover, I will ensure that humans and insects within a radius of 300 meters are exterminated.
