With a roar that resounded through heaven and earth, Yun Che led his army to charge out.

While the two armies were at war, the barbarian leader sat in the rear, listening to the reports from the scouts.

"General, our front lines have suffered heavy casualties!"

The barbarian leader angrily slapped the armrest of his chair: "How is this possible!? Our soldiers' blades are all poisoned, and anyone who touches them will die! How could there be so many casualties? Could it be that Yun Che also has a secret weapon?"

"I checked for a long time, but didn't find anything suspicious."

The barbarian leader was so angry that he shouted, "Go call Sheng Chu over here. I want to ask you, why is it that what he said was a sure thing is not working at all now?!"

Soon, Sheng Chu was brought over.

He placed one hand on his chest and saluted: "Chief."

"Why doesn't your poison have any effect? ​​The Yun family army is about to attack us now!"

After hearing this, Sheng Chu was shocked at first, and then subconsciously refuted: "This is impossible, I have never seen anyone who can cure my poison!"

"Then how do you explain the low casualties among the Yun family army? The vanguard slashed Gu Yong so many times, but he is still alive!"

Sheng Chu forced himself to calm down, and he suddenly thought of the poison master he had met before.

"Chief, the Yun family army has a master in charge. They must have prepared for a rainy day and taken the antidote in advance, so our poison is ineffective."

"Then tell me, what should we do now!"

The barbarian leader stood up and paced back and forth.

"We were defeated this time because we didn't know the enemy's situation. Now that we know, we can formulate a countermeasure for the next attack. Leader, I suggest we retreat immediately to reduce the damage!"

Although this may sound cowardly, it is the best option at the moment.

The barbarian leader sighed heavily: "Pass the order, the rear troops retreat, the front vanguard troops do not want to fight, hurry up and catch up!"

As Yun Che led his men to fight, he found that the barbarians were gradually being defeated, and he knew that the rear was planning to withdraw.

"Pursue victory!"

He gave the order immediately.

The morale of the soldiers was high and they were killing like crazy.

But the barbarians ran very fast, and by the time they reached the rear, the army had already retreated.

Fortunately, we captured a few barbarian scouts alive. We can torture them severely when we return, and maybe we can get something out of them.

After Gu Yong returned, he did not immediately go to Yun Che to report the casualties, but returned to Jiangcheng.

"Where are the people?" Just after leaving the city, he specially asked people to collect the corpses to avoid being trampled by the war horses.

"General Gu, they are all inside."

The man took Gu Yong to a house where a pile of corpses were neatly arranged.

"General Gu, how should we deal with this?"

"For those in the military camp, bury them properly, notify their families, and provide them with compensation. As for the others, go to Jiangcheng and post notices to see if any relatives come to claim them. If not, bury them outside the city."

As he spoke, Gu Yong walked to A Tian's body.

Her eyes were closed, her body was blue and lifeless, and she had obviously been dead for several days.

Gu Yong picked the person up and buried her personally.

In the military camp, Song Wanning also heard that A Tian was killed by the barbarians, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Lei Ting moved a small stool and went to Xu Lian.

"Ah Tian is dead. She was captured by the barbarians when she was leaving the military camp and tortured to death."

Xu Lian was also surprised: "What?"

"This is her fate, and you have your fate too, but if you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. If you don't want to end up like her, you know what to do in the future."

This was the first time Xu Lian did not refute Lei Ting's words.

She looked up out the window, somewhat absent-minded and thoughtful.

If she had been driven away that day, she would probably have ended up like Ah Tian.

In Yun Che's tent, Song Wanning opened the medicine box and bandaged his wound.

Although Yun Che was given the antidote pill in advance, he was the leader of the Yun Family Army. If he was killed, the entire Yun Family Army would collapse. Therefore, on the battlefield, the barbarians targeted Yun Che and killed him, and he had wounds of varying sizes on his body.

Some of them have already festered, and it is obvious that the poison is taking effect.

"The person who made the poison is so cruel." Song Wanning frowned and couldn't help but say.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Che asked him in a low voice.

"The wound on your body has not been open for long and it has already started to fester. The poison will first erode the heart meridian along the wound, paralyzing the person, and then quickly corrode the wound, causing it to fester rapidly. If there is no antidote, the poisoned person will gradually turn into a pool of mud." Song Wanning explained in a low voice, a chill flashing in her eyes.

Fortunately, the soldiers had taken the antidote in advance, otherwise there would have been heavy casualties in this battle, and Jiangcheng might even have fallen.

"I think the barbarians used poison this time premeditatedly. Hurry up and send someone to clean all wounds, no matter how big or small, and then sprinkle the powder I made on them."

Yun Che quickly called Lei Ting over. Lei Ting led his troops to guard outside the city today and did not fight directly, so he was not injured.

After receiving the order, Lei Ting went down immediately.

"Where's Gu Yong? Why haven't we seen him return to the camp?"

Song Wanning suddenly asked, "His wounds need to be treated quickly, or else they will fester and there will be no healthy area on his body."

Yun Che thought about it and guessed, “He must have gone to deal with Ah Tian’s body.”

Hearing this, Song Wanning also fell silent.

Although Ah Tian did many evil things, she never expected such an ending.

After bandaging Yun Che completely, Song Wanning considerately tied a bow around his neck.

Yun Che disliked the fancy words: "What is this?"

Song Wanning pretended not to notice the disdain in his eyes and blinked: "This is the most popular clothing style among the noble ladies in Beijing. It's called a butterfly knot. It looks like a fluttering butterfly. It's very beautiful."

Yun Che complained bitterly: "How can I establish my authority in front of other people?"

Song Wanning slapped him in annoyance, but carefully avoided the wound: "What are you talking about? Can't the bow tie be used to establish authority? Hurry up and do your work. I still have to help bandage other people's wounds."

"We captured several barbarians alive today. I remember one of them was a barbarian scout. I'm afraid they'll bite their tongues to death if they're kept in captivity for too long. I'll go check on them."

As soon as Yun Che left the tent, he saw Gu Yong coming back.

His fingers were covered in dirt and his body was dirty.

“Have you bandaged the wound on your body?” Yun Che asked.

Gu Yong didn't say anything. He didn't have any strength in his body now, and he was now relying entirely on his mental strength to support himself.

Song Wanning came out and saw that something was wrong with Gu Yong at a glance: "You really are. You are so seriously injured and you don't want to come back quickly. Don't you want to live?"

She supported Gu Yong into the tent and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I will take care of him first."

Later, Song Wanning discovered that Gu Yong’s injury from the poisoning was even more serious than Yun Che’s. If it had been a little later, it would have been difficult for him to recover.
