At the tail end of dusk, the army finally broke through the gate of Chuanzhou City.
The army poured into the city and wiped out the Daya army.
The fighting lasted until late at night before gradually coming to an end.
It's late at night and people are quiet.
After a day of fierce fighting, the army was exhausted. After eating solid food to fill their stomachs, they fell asleep with their heads tilted.
In a room in a small courtyard, the oil lamp was dim and unclear.
Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa became wounded again. The lieutenant rank on their shoulders allowed them to receive exclusive "private rooms" and high-level treatment, and were assigned such a small courtyard to recuperate and rest.
The two of them lay side by side on the mattress on the ground, with Qi Yoyo taking care of them.
In today's siege battle, she made a great contribution, leading Zhao Quan and other Tianzi battalion soldiers to take the lead in attacking the city wall and tearing open the defense of Daya Army.
After the war, she was summoned by Su Han and praised in front of all the generals as "a woman who cannot stand before a woman".
She was about to share this honor with Zhang Xiaozu, but when she heard the bad news that Zhang Xiaozu was seriously injured and his life was in danger, she immediately rushed to take care of her left and right with worry. After a day of fierce fighting, her body was extremely tired, but Zhang Xiaozu was extremely bad.
The situation left her in no mood to rest.
Zhang Xiaosu's sternum was shattered, his internal organs were damaged and displaced, and a sharp arrow penetrated the back of his heart more than six inches deep, leaving only half an inch away from his heart. He narrowly escaped death.
His injury was very serious, but Qi Yoyo was not very worried because she had seen Zhang Xiaozu's abnormal self-healing ability. Compared with the injury he suffered in Baihuang Mountain, this injury was not worth mentioning.
What really worries Qi Yoyo is that Zhang Xiaozhu is poisoned.
Although Wan Qiuqing had used his true energy to remove toxins from his body, because the toxicity was too strong and he was not treated immediately, the toxins had invaded his internal organs, meridians and bone marrow, and Wan Qiuqing was unable to do anything.
.
Wan Qiuqing went to see King Zhennan, hoping that King Zhennan had the holy antidote and could ask for one to detoxify Zhang Xiaopeng.
Compared to Zhang Xiaozu, Niu Dawa's situation is much better.
Although he was pierced by a sharp arrow in his body, fortunately, his vital parts were not injured. Under the dual effects of the elixir and his own powerful self-healing ability, the wound had already healed and he was fully recovered. In addition to the arrow injury, he was also injured.
The arrow was highly poisonous, but unlike Zhang Xiaozu, the poison in his body had resolved on its own.
The reason why he is still unconscious is because he forcibly swallowed demon pills to increase his demon power, and also forcibly used sword skills that he could not control. His body suffered double backlash, which damaged his vitality.
During the time he was in coma, he had been having nightmares and murmuring in his sleep. Listening to his murmurings, he must have dreamed about the tragic scene of the massacre in Liujia Village.
Zhou Jianlai sat cross-legged next to the two of them, with King Wei's sword lying across his legs and his left hand holding the hilt, never leaving it for a moment.
He had a serious look on his face, a sharp aura, and was full of murderous intent. He never left his sword, looking like he was choosing people to eat. Because he knew that Zhang Xiaozu and Niu Dawa were not injured by the Big Tooth Army, but were secretly attacked, and that night they were
The means of sneak attack on the two men in Baiyun City were exactly the same, and it was obviously the work of the same person.
They repeatedly carried out sneak attacks and assassinations, and even went so far as to be extremely despicable. They actually killed them when they were exhausted from fighting with the master of Big Ya. It was obvious that they had to kill Zhang Xiaopeng and Niu Dawa.
Zhou Jianlai was extremely angry. If he hadn't been afraid that someone would sneak in if he left the two of them, he would have gone to Su Mou with his sword to ask for details.
Damn it, if you have the ability, do it with real swords and guns. What kind of hero is hiding in the dark and shooting cold arrows?
Are you not afraid of ruining his reputation as King of Zhennan?
"You're lucky, kid." Wan Qiuqing's voice rang out in the yard, arriving before anyone else arrived. Judging from his brisk tone, it was obvious that he had brought good news.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered the room, she opened her palms, handed a wax-wrapped pill to Qi Yoyo, and urged: "Your Majesty is merciful and rewards him with a pill of Baiduqing. Take it quickly."
Down."
"That's great!" Qi Yoyo was overjoyed, took the pill, pinched open the wax shell, and gave it to Zhang Xiaozu to take.
After half a cup of tea, Wan Qiuqing checked Zhang Xiaozhu's body and said with a happy smile: "The situation is very good, the poison has been cured. He will wake up in half an hour at most."
"Thank you, madam!" Zhou Jianlai said gratefully.
"Thanks to the prince for the elixir, you should thank the prince." Wan Qiuqing said with a smile.
"The prince wants to thank you, and so does the madam." Zhou Jianlai said.
"These two brats are really lucky. In just a few days, they have already gone to the gate of hell twice." Wan Qiuqing looked at Zhang Xiaozhu and Niu Dawa and shook his head with a wry smile. Then he raised his hand and pinched the center of his eyebrows with a look on his face.
He said with a tired look: "Just take care of me, I'm going to rest."
"Mom, please go and have a rest."
"Madam, walk slowly."
"Miss Qi, you should go back and rest. Just leave this place to me." Zhou Jianlai saw Qi Yoyo with a deep tired look on her face and persuaded her to rest too.
As soon as Qi Yoyo's hanging mind relaxed, fatigue swept over her body instantly, her eyelids were as heavy as lead, and she couldn't help but yawn again and again. She lay down next to Zhang Xiaozu and said, "I'll just squint here for a while."
Can."
As soon as the voice fell, she fell asleep.
Seeing Qi Yoyo sleeping carelessly next to Zhang Xiaopou, Zhou Jianlai couldn't help but smile. He tightened the hilt of his sword with his left hand, slowly closed his eyes, and listened to the movements around him with his ears, always vigilant.
"It's him! It's him!" Half an hour later, Niu Dawa suddenly screamed and sat up, with cold sweat on his forehead. It seemed that he had been awakened by a nightmare.
"Who is it?" Zhou Jianlai asked. Niu Dawa's scream when he woke up told him that Niu Dawa seemed to know who had attacked him and Zhang Xiaopou.
"Yes -" Niu Dawa blurted out an answer in a daze, but when he suddenly woke up when he spoke, his voice stopped abruptly. He glanced at the surrounding environment and saw Zhang Xiaozu and Qi Yoyo lying together, and couldn't help but froze.
He was stunned for a moment, then grinned. Finally his eyes fell back on Zhou Jianlai. Seeing Zhou Jianlai's questioning look, he lowered his head and fell into silence.
"You already know who attacked you and wanted to kill you?" Zhou Jianlai asked about his guess.
"Yes - yes -" Niu Dawa opened his mouth to answer, but the words always got stuck on his lips, as if he was very worried.
Zhou Jianlai frowned and said, "It's not Su Mou."
The reason why he was so sure was because if it was Su Mou, Niu Dawa would have jumped up and yelled.
As expected, Niu Dawa shook his head when he heard this and said, "No."
"Who is that?" Zhou Jianlai asked.
"It's Su Yang!" Niu Dawa said word by word with piercing eyes and a gloomy expression.
Zhou Jianlai's eyes widened, he was startled, his brows furrowed, and he asked: "The eldest son of King Zhennan, the eldest son Su Yang?"
"Yes!" Niu Dawa nodded affirmatively.
"What - what is he going to do?! Avenge Su Mou?!" Zhou Jianlai asked angrily.
"No. He wants to kill people and hide the crimes he committed!" Niu Dawa said bitterly through gritted teeth.
"Kill people and silence them to hide their crimes?" Zhou Jianlai didn't understand.
Niu Dawa looked up at Zhou Jianlai, stared into his eyes, and said word by word: "Liujia Village was massacred by him and his red-armored cavalry. His voice was the same as that of the man who broke into Liujia Village and ordered the massacre of the village.
The voices were exactly the same. I heard them!"
"!!!" Zhou Jianlai was so shocked that he couldn't speak. It took him a while to react. He took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart and asked, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Niu Dawa nodded affirmatively, "I will never forget his voice in my life."
Zhang Xiaozu suddenly sat up, his expression gloomy and uncertain. He had just woken up when he heard the conversation between Niu Dawa and Zhou Jianlai. He looked at Niu Dawa and said: "That is to say, what you heard that night in Jincheng was not from the Daya people.
The voice is Su Yang's voice. No wonder we see red-armored cavalry every time we catch up."
"You woke up, how do you feel? Has the poison been cured?" Zhou Jianlai asked.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou. My health is no longer serious." Zhang Xiaozu said.
Zhou Jianlai smiled bitterly and said: "Your poison penetrated deep into the bone marrow and internal organs. Even Mrs. Qi was helpless. In the end, Mrs. Qi went to ask the prince for an antidote, which detoxified you."
"Haha, that's really funny. Su Yang killed me with poison, but I used the antidote to save me. Did he really not know, or was he pretending not to know?" Zhang Xiaozhu sneered.
Zhou Jianlai looked stunned. Zhang Xiaozhu's words were empty and cold. He vaguely felt the disappointment and despair in Zhang Xiaozhu's heart towards the world, as well as the hatred born from his bones and soul. He felt that Zhang Xiaozhu was questioning the world.
"Good and Evil".
This is an extremely dangerous cognitive change. Once your thoughts are extreme, you are likely to become cold-blooded and ruthless, and you may even fall into the devil's path.
"Your Majesty is a good prince. He must not know what Su Yang did, otherwise he would definitely kill his family out of justice." Zhou Jianlai said.
"Really?" Zhang Xiaozu glanced at Zhou Jianlai.
Zhou Jianlai's heart skipped a beat. The sight of Zhang Xiaozu actually made him feel a biting wind.
"I also think that the prince doesn't know about Su Yang's crimes." Niu Dawa suddenly said, "Just for his righteousness to cut off his arm for the old man, and for his heroic spirit of leading the army in person, taking the lead in battle, and not fearing life or death, I believe him.
The old man is a man who has no shame in the world and is upright!"
"The hatred in Liujiacun must be paid with blood!" Zhang Xiaozu said coldly. The implication is that no matter how good Su Hanju is, he can't erase the blood feud in Liujiacun. He also means that if he doesn't kill Su Yang, the whole family will not understand the hatred in their hearts.
.
"Then chop off the heads of Su Yang and the red-armored cavalry to worship the two hundred heroic souls of Liujiacun!" Niu Dawa responded. This means that every wrongdoer has his own head and every debtor has his own owner, and misfortune cannot harm Su Hanju.
Zhou Jianlai nodded in agreement and looked at Niu Dawa with admiration. He did not expect that he could restrain his resentment and hatred and step forward to guide Zhang Xiaopou's emotional changes.
"Why is it so cold?" Qi Yoyo asked as she opened her sleepy eyes. The cold aura emanating from Zhang Xiaozu's body made her shiver.
"It's okay, go back to sleep." Zhang Xiaozu quickly stopped breathing and patted her shoulder.
"Oh" Qi Yoyo responded, then she closed her eyes and fell asleep, seemingly sleeping sweetly and soundly next to Zhang Xiaozu.
Zhou Jianlai frowned and said, "I don't understand. Miss Qi clearly said that she and Monk Su De killed all the big-toothed dogs."
"Actually, I had this doubt at first, because the one who attacked Liujia Village was a team of well-trained cavalry. Their combat power was not inferior to that of the black-armored cavalry. It was difficult for them to compete with just two people. But I didn't know that Su
Due to Monk De’s combat prowess, I dare not make any hasty conclusions. But now that I think about it, it makes a lot more sense." Niu Dawa said.
"How do you say it?" Zhou Jianlai asked.
"Su Mou and the red-armored cavalry left after committing a crime. The big-toothed dog that came out of the black forest entered Liujia Village. It happened to be bumped into by Sister Ronger and Monk Su De. They mistakenly thought that the big-toothed dog did it, so they killed the big-toothed dog.
." Niu Dawa analyzed.
"If that's the case, you only need to go back and ask Miss Qi how powerful she and Monk Su De are in killing the big-toothed dog," Zhou Jianlai said.
"No need to ask more, it must have been Su Yang who did it. I remember his voice clearly and I will never forget it in my life. It was him who gave the order to massacre the village." Niu Dawa said with a very certain tone, and then looked at Zhang Xiaozu.
, said: "The army is Su Yang's territory. He will not let us two go. Let's find a safe place to hide and practice. When we have the strength to take revenge, we will come back and chop off his head."
