After Li Xia fell into coma, everything he encountered in Qingfu seemed to be just minor changes.
A small incident is nothing at all, but if it is not handled well enough, it will gradually accumulate into a big problem.
Especially when such a lone army is trapped in enemy territory.
Under Li Xia, Bao San has the most qualifications and prestige, but does not have a long-term strategic vision; Wu Ang has a clear mind, but does not have enough experience and is not confident; Yang Ben has the most generals, but has no prestige, and has an arrogant personality that is difficult to convince.
people……
Just like Asha knows herbal medicine and is the only one who can detoxify Li Xia, but has a weird personality and doesn't say anything. Everyone under Li Xia has various advantages and disadvantages.
When the problem becomes larger and larger, these shortcomings converge and make the problem worse.
No one can cope with the situation like Li Xia.
The stress finally turned into arguments.
The ones who made the most noise were Song He and Yang Ben.
Song He usually has a quiet personality, but among everyone, he has the deepest relationship with Yu Bing. Tonight Yu Bing died in battle, and he really couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart.
Yang Ben was also very emotional. He had to admit that he was indeed not as good as Li Xia, and he couldn't let these country men obey his orders. However, if these country men had listened to him from the beginning, they would never have been like this tonight.
Heavy casualties.
"If I hadn't been here, not only Yu Ting, but you would also be dead!"
"Fuck you! You are not my kind of person at all..."
During the quarrel, Bao San suddenly roared: "That's enough! Shut up! The enemy soldiers are still outside the city. You fucking want to die?!"
When the scene calmed down, Bao San turned to look at Gao Mingyue, cupped his fists and said, "Princess Princess, have you thought about it?"
All the problems finally piled on Gao Mingyue's shoulders.
The slightly frail little girl looked at the blood-covered soldiers in front of her and couldn't help but take two steps back.
But she still tried to stop.
"I think... we should annihilate the enemy, but I have to take Li Xia to find herbal medicine."
Gao Mingyue seemed a little timid when she spoke. After one sentence, she gained some dignity and said: "Song He, you first have twenty elite cavalry to escort us away. Bao San, you are responsible for leading the troops to guard Longwei Pass."
Several generals looked at each other, hesitantly.
They were a little worried that Gao Mingyue was going to escape.
Finally, Gao Nianfeng said: "It's better for the villain to lead troops to escort the princess."
"No need." Gao Mingyue's tone became more forceful. She looked at Bao San and others and said, "You just need to hold Longwei Pass and wait for us to come back."
"Yes." Bao San cupped his fists and said, "But the villain is vulgar and I really don't care."
"If you encounter a problem, you ask Wu Ang and Yang Ben, and the three of you will make the decision."
Although Gao Mingyue was not familiar with these people, she could still understand who was smart and who was stupid.
After arranging these, she turned to look at Xiong Shan, Mao Yi'er and others, and said: "Please also trust the three of them. I will bring your county captain back within five days."
This last sentence seemed to be a reassurance. Xiong Shan and others finally felt at ease.
They didn't think Yang Ben had the ability to lead Qingfu's army out of Dali alive, but it was still possible to stay at the gate for five days.
What they wanted most was for the county captain to wake up. With this hope, everyone finally calmed down.
…
Here Bao San went to arrange to continue the battle, and the soldiers rushed to the north gate of Guancheng.
Passing the south gate of the city, Gao Mingyue rode out with Li Xia in her arms.
She didn't even have a specific destination, she just knew to go south, south...
Qingdian, Yongchang Prefecture, Dali.
This place was Lincang in later generations, located between the Lancang River and the Nu River, and was named because it was adjacent to the Lancang River.
On May 20th, in the deep mountains and old forests south of Kongming Mountain, an old Yi man named "Azeqiu" looked behind a tree pole with a hunting bow and saw a tent.
Azeqiu was puzzled as to how an outsider could come to such an old forest.
He rolled his eyes and thought about going back to call the tribesmen to steal their horses.
The next moment, several men gathered around from nearby.
"Noble man, spare your life, noble man, spare your life..." Azeqiu shouted in Yi language.
The big men yelled and cursed a few times, but he couldn't understand what they said.
After a while, a beautiful girl came out of the tent. After saying a few words, she asked in Yi language: "May I ask my husband, are there any curare trees around here?"
"Poison arrow wood?" Azechou said, shrinking his neck: "There is no one here... You have to go to the lower reaches of the Lancang River, which is quite far away."
"how far?"
"Walk...for five or six days."
When the girl heard this, her eyes darkened, and she asked with some persistence: "I know that my father-in-law knows how to detoxify curare wood."
A Zeqiu hesitated for a long time, lowered his head and remained silent.
Then, a heavy bag of dry food was handed into his arms, and then a piece of gold was also placed on the bag.
"If you can detoxify, I'll give you these."
A Zeqiu hesitated and said with a wince, "Can we take a look at the poisoned person first? Don't kill me."
"If you don't want to kill me, let's take a look at him."
Azechou entered the tent and saw a handsome young man lying inside, his eyes closed and his face gloomy.
He couldn't help but clicked his tongue and murmured: "The poison is so deep... Where was this poison? How long has it been?"
"I've been in Dali City for three days."
Azechou was stunned, turned his head and looked at the knives in the hands of the soldiers. He was reluctant to put down the baggage in his hands, knelt on the ground and cried: "Please, noble man, don't kill the villain."
"Can't you get rid of the poison?"
"This...which noble man got the poisonous arrowwood?" A Zeqiu said: "If you get hit by the poisonous arrowwood, you will die very quickly. How can you live for three days?"
"We have a very powerful Miao shaman. She is hanging with herbs. But we haven't found the antidote yet. Can you tell me where to find the antidote?"
"How can we solve it?" Azechou didn't say anything. He knelt on the ground and shrank, waving his hands and saying, "I don't want your nobleman's things anymore, please let me go?"
The next moment, a sword was pressed against his neck.
The girl looked kind-hearted, and she had been pleading in a tone just now. Unexpectedly, she suddenly drew a sword towards her.
"One moment I say I can explain it, and the other I say I can't explain it. If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you."
A Zeqiu was horrified and said quickly: "That's it, that's it... Others say that there is no antidote for curare wood, but only the old Yi people know that there is a kind of grass that can detoxify it, called... called red-backed bamboo stalk grass. This
There are very few grasses planted, and most people cannot recognize them, so there is no solution."
"Then can you recognize it?"
"I can't recognize it either, but my father once said that the red-backed bamboo stalk grass grows around the curare tree... I just thought that if the noble man was poisoned here, I would pull out all the grass and feed it to him.
...Maybe we can get this gold."
The girl holding the sword almost cried in her voice as she asked: "Where can I find the red-backed bamboo stalk grass?"
"South, south..."
Gao Mingyue held the sword, but after all, he did not kill the old Yi man in front of him, and asked someone to take him down first.
She sat alone next to Li Xia, unable to make a decision for a moment.
Asha has gone deeper into the jungle to find the antidote. Should he wait here now or take Li Xia further south?
But five or six days, even riding a horse would take two or three days. Li Xia really couldn't bear it, right?
"Princess." Someone outside said.
"What's wrong?" Gao Mingyue asked while wiping away tears.
Then, Song He's voice sounded, saying: "Xu Tulao... didn't hold on, he just left."
Gao Mingyue was stunned for a moment. She stood up and wanted to go to the nearby tent to take a look. After taking two steps, she looked back at Li Xia, but she didn't dare to leave. She knelt down again and held his hand.
"What should I do? Wuwu...Should I take you further or wait for my aunt to come back...don't die, okay...wuah..."
Song He didn't wait for an answer, turned around and entered Xu Tuduo's tent again, feeling heavy.
Xu Tuduo is Xiong Shan's subordinate, and Song He is not familiar with him. What makes him sad is that the county lieutenant has been poisoned by the same poison, and he may not be able to hold on...
"Do you know what it means to be a champion?"
Li Xia looked towards the dark arena, looking for the person speaking, but couldn't see the other person.
He shook his head and murmured: "I'm very tired, very tired."
"Look at the people who are walking this championship road. Wrestlers who have broken ribs and stabbed their lungs but still continue to win the game, torn pectoral muscles and defeated their opponents with just one left hand; wrestlers who suffered burns all over their bodies in the heat and fire.
A racing driver who inhaled fatal gas, but the doctor refused to treat him, and the pastor said his last prayers, but returned to racing within two months; torn ligaments, reversed joints, cracked calf bones, brain nerve damage..."
"I have retired. I fell to death."
"There is never a born champion, only a will that is far beyond ordinary people, a mythical will. Come on, what does your little sprain mean?"
"I've already told you, I've already fallen to death." Li Xia whispered.
"Get up, or get out and be a loser."
"I told you, I'm already dead." Li Xia stared into the darkness and said, "I don't need to persist anymore."
The voice still didn't answer him, and asked again: "Who are you? Are you a loser who lost to injury?"
"Damn, you can't hear me because I'm dead."
Li Xia shook his head, so tired that he just wanted to fall down.
In the darkness, there was a softer voice saying: "How about you don't want to die..."
Gao Mingyue lay on Li Xia's chest and could still hear his slow heartbeat.
She turned her head and looked at the sky outside the tent, which was getting dark again, and decided to trust Asha for once and wait for her to come back.
It's just that Li Xia's heartbeat seems to be getting slower and slower...
