The sky was dim because of the drizzle. This drizzle started when the old man Huang Qiang picked up the golden armored general, and also when the enemy army was defeated.
The rain became heavier and heavier, becoming a torrential downpour.
After a long drought, there comes rain.
During the heavy rain, Jian Chuan looked up to the sky and howled, feeling relieved.
In the city, under the leadership of Qi Yinzhang, countless people poured out and carried all their dead and wounded into the city. A simple shelter had been set up there, and all the doctors in the city had gathered together.
Xu Huaiyuan returned with his troops and won a great victory, but he was still afraid and did not dare to take credit.
Jian Chuan was stabbed more than ten times and an arrow pierced his chest, but he still managed to support himself and command the rescue.
Looking at Jian Chuan's blood-red eyes, no one dared to persuade him.
Until a lame man arrived, grabbed Jian Chuan, and said to him: "Take a rest for a while, don't worry, I'm here, and no one who is not dead will die, at least not until you wake up."
Jian Chuan had no time to think about why the lame man came. He relaxed and fell asleep immediately.
In the dream, the mountains of corpses and seas of blood were like being in Shura Hell. After struggling for a long time, I suddenly woke up.
In front of his eyes, Qi Yinzhang and Shangguan Hong were sitting around the bed, with Lao Huang scurrying around anxiously. Far away, the cripple jumped to his feet and cursed: "A bunch of useless idiots and trash."
"How many casualties?" Jian Chuan opened his eyes slightly and asked hoarsely the first sentence.
"Cripple, come on, Master, are you awake?" Lao Huang shouted immediately.
The lame man limped over in a few steps, immediately pushed Qi Yinzhang away, and put his hand on Jian Chuan's pulse. After a long while, he sighed and said, "Damn it, I almost lost my reputation in your hands.
"
Lao Huang rushed over and grabbed the lame man's hand tightly, and asked anxiously: "How is it?"
The lame man shook it off in disgust, but his tone became more relaxed: "It's okay, I can get out of bed after a few days of rest. I have already said that his injuries, except for the arrow, were all skin injuries. The reason why he was in coma for so long
, it should be the sequelae of excessive mental stress. Humph, you still don’t believe it.”
After hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, but Jian Chuan asked again: "How many casualties were there?"
Qi Yinzhang got a glass of water and said as he fed it: "Xu Huaiyuan won a great victory with very few casualties. However, due to the sudden change of the times, almost all the city's government officials died in the line of duty. Of the 178 people in the Jianghu, only 98 are still alive.
;Well, your thirty-three subordinates, well..."
"Tell me." After drinking some water, Jian Chuan's throat felt better and he asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, they are all still alive, but they are all seriously injured. Eighteen of them are permanently disabled." At the end, he added: "Thanks to the special care of the cripple, otherwise, none of them would have survived."
Hearing this, Jian Chuan was silent for a long time, and finally turned into a long sigh, and then asked about the enemy's situation.
Jian Chuan has been unconscious for two days and nights. During these two days, Qi Yinzhang has not been idle. With his terrifying resourcefulness, everything can be said to be settled now.
The initiator was Xixia, who secretly funded the development and growth of the White Lotus Sect, and later used it as bait. The ultimate goal was to reach the important military town of Jiaocheng. However, at this moment, the White Lotus Sect had been defeated, and the thousand soldiers and horses that Xixia was well prepared for had also been lost.
Tragically, his wild ambitions have been destroyed.
The real trend has been determined, and it all depends on Su's Trading Company. According to Laizi, after Jian Chuan left, Su Chaer learned about the disaster in Taiyuan Prefecture from someone's mouth, and then started to spread the news in Bianjing and even surrounding prefectures.
The county is purchasing grain and grass on a large scale. Now, the first batch of grain and grass will be shipped to Taiyuan in ten days.
The reason why the lame man came was because of Su Chaer. The lame man smacked his lips and said, "This woman's intuition is really terrible. Just based on a dream, she insisted on me coming to Taiyuan first. I can't do it myself, so why not?"
I have to bring everyone from the medical clinic with me. Let me tell you, the business of my medical clinic is very good now, but it is closed now. I will lose your company."
Hearing this, Jian Chuan felt warm in his heart and his pain dissipated a lot.
Well, there is only one thing left now, and that is to capture the leader, three protectors, and ten diamonds of the White Lotus Sect.
The good news is that in addition to the five trapped in the cave, Xu Huaiyuan killed eight this time, and now only one leader and one protector are at large.
Although Su Cha'er was definitely deceived by her godmother, it undoubtedly solved the urgent task of Taiyuan Mansion. Now Jian Chuan clearly knows the financial resources of Su's Trading Company. Combined with Su Cha'er's philanthropic personality, there will definitely be more than one source of food and grass.
Yes, Su Chaer will definitely support him until Taiyuan Mansion is out of danger.
And with sufficient food and grass, the crisis of the White Lotus Sect can be considered resolved. After all, the common people are also fools. If they can have a full stomach and have hope for the coming year, who is willing to put their heads on their belts.
Objectively speaking, the current situation is very good, but Jianchuan cannot be happy because many people have died as a result.
…
The lame man's medical skills are indeed reassuring. After a few days of treatment, Jian Chuan was able to get out of bed.
The first thing I did was to write a letter to Huo Ran. I spoke so fiercely in my heart that I almost pointed my nose at Huo Ran and scolded Huo Ran for being useless. Finally, as a fifth-grade official, I actually issued a deadline order to a fourth-grade official.
He has to capture the remnants of the White Lotus Sect within ten days, otherwise, he has to wait to be interrogated.
In fact, this letter was written to his mother-in-law, and he believed that her mother-in-law would definitely see it. Hehe, since he was so plotted that he had no power to resist, he should just take it out on him.
In this case, it’s time to leave. The day after tomorrow is the Yanbeibao Heroes Conference, and it’s time to take action on the second major event of this trip.
Lao Huang and Shangguan Hong were worried about Jian Chuan's injury, so they didn't want Jian Chuan to go. However, Jian Chuan insisted and no one could persuade him.
So the next day, a large force set off. The reason why it was a large force was because there were still so many rivers and lakes in Jiaocheng. People originally came for the Heroes Conference, and some of them were seriously injured and could not make the trip.
Since we are on the same road, we naturally go together. Moreover, in the past few days, everyone has been recovering in Jiaocheng together, and Jian Chuan has become familiar with everyone.
Going all the way north to Juewei Mountain, Yanbei Fort is built on the mountain, covering a large area and with powerful momentum.
Such a large group of people went up the mountain and immediately became the focus.
The big guys walked proudly, calmly accepting the admiring and envious looks from all around, and exchanged familiar greetings: "It's a shame that I came a few days late and missed such a happy event."
"No, under the command of Master Xiao Jian, I can defeat ten times the enemy. This is the greatest pleasure in my life."
"I heard that Mr. Xiao Jian is also here. Who is it? Why don't you introduce me quickly?"
"You are really ignorant, this is Miss Jian."
"Oh, I'm blind, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
In this way, Jian Chuan became the focus of the spotlight, his pale face was like a medal, and it was also a bridge that promoted the friendship between the two parties. As a result, more and more people gathered around him along the way, and he was like a star holding the moon.
When they arrived at the gate of Yanbei Castle, an old hero with gray hair came out to greet him. Shangguan Hong beside him introduced him in a low voice: "This person is Mu Nantian, the old master of Yanbei Castle."
