Loyal heart travels a long way

Old General Chu was wearing a complete set of general armor, with breast shields on his chest and back. Besides, he had decades of internal strength protection. It stands to reason that bows and arrows should be difficult to shoot through.

But the feathered arrow pierced the old general's flesh.

The armor is made of iron sheets, and there is a round copper breastplate on the chest and back to block the vital points of the heart.However, the copper heart guard is relatively heavy, and it cannot be made too large. No matter how closely the iron plates on the body are arranged, there will always be gaps. The small arrow approached the old general's body through the gaps in the iron plates. It easily broke through the old general's protective qi, and just pierced into his flesh and blood.

The old general paused, but still calmly protected the old lady in his arms, preventing her from being hurt by the frightened horse, and immediately threw three barbed thorns straight at the soldier who stabbed him just now. .

The assassin had successfully attracted the old general's attention and completed his mission. With a strange smile on his face, he fell backwards and was pushed to the ground by the surrounding soldiers.

The old general didn't seem to notice that he was injured, and asked lightly, "How?"

The soldiers reacted very quickly, and they removed his jaw the moment they caught him to prevent him from committing suicide by taking poison.The military doctor stepped forward to check the pulse of the assassin, then shook his head.

The old general had expected that this man would not spare his life to be tortured by himself, so he nodded and said, "Thank you, take a hundred of my soldiers, send the military doctor back to the barracks, and tell Cheng Dong about this."

The military doctor didn't know what was going on, and looked suspiciously at the two heroes on horseback, but found nothing wrong, nodded and let Old General Chu's elite soldiers help him aside.

"Wait a minute," the old lady seemed to be aware of it, frowned and stopped the military doctor, and added: "It's okay, today's battle is of great importance, no matter what the outcome is, let Chengdong take good care of this northern territory Don't let Da Zhou lose his country, don't let the Chu family be ashamed."

Her words sounded a bit like dying, and the military doctor's heart jumped wildly, realizing that something bad had happened, but looking at the two on horseback, he couldn't see any clues.He hesitated a little worried, and tentatively said: "How about asking the little one to give the second number a pulse?"

"No need," the old general's expression remained calm, "Go ahead and bring back the dead body of the man just now, and examine it carefully."

Military orders are like a mountain, and the general's order is the biggest. The military doctor really can't disobey, so he nodded and set off.

When the backs of the military doctor and his party were no longer visible, the old lady raised her head and looked at the old general worriedly, and said two words hesitantly: "Old man..."

"No problem." The old general shook his head.In fact, he knew in his heart that he was in trouble at all right now, the little arrow must have been poisoned.No matter how normal a weapon is wounded into the body, one would still feel pain, but besides the slight pain in the moment of the injury just now, the only thing left now is a feeling of soreness and swelling.

Not only that, it stands to reason that the arrow was not pulled out, and he immediately stopped the inner flow of the meridians to prevent the venom from entering the body. It is normal that the blood should not flow quickly.And now the piece of clothes on his back is already soaked, even if there is no pure poison on the arrow, it must have been smeared with blood-invigorating medicine to prevent his wound from healing.

When Old General Chu hit the arrow just now, the old lady was surrounded by her arms. Of course, the old lady also found out when the arrow pierced in.It's just that the enemy is in front of them, and they also have a lot of things they can't help themselves. If they are injured on weekdays, they will definitely seek medical treatment as soon as possible, but the safety of the two is related to the morale of the soldiers of the Great Zhou. Everyone found out that the old general was injured like this.

"Hahahaha... The Chu family is indeed full of talents." Just as he was hesitating, a wild laughter came from among the Tatar soldiers.

The two looked at each other, and looked at each other in unison.

It must be the opponent's general who can laugh out loud.Bateer had already asked Ying Er to kill him, that is to say, that kill was only a general on the surface, but in fact there were other people in the Tatar army who had their own words.

As the laughter grew louder, he saw a figure like a general appearing in the opponent's army.

The man was dressed in dark purple clothes, with all his hair hanging in a thick ponytail on the back of his head, and he had no beard. He didn't look like a Tatar with a high nose and deep eyes, but a Han Chinese.

This person is not tall, and his frame is not too big, but he is very conspicuous when riding a horse.His clothes were already bright, but he also wore a red cloak, which fluttered in the wind.

Old General Chu squinted his eyes for a long time before he realized that this was an old acquaintance.

"Where did you go because of your killing?" The old general laughed sarcastically, "You hid in Tatar. Why, there is no longer enough time for you to stay in Da Zhou, so why do you want to do some collaborating with the enemy?"

"Where you are collaborating with the enemy and not collaborating with the enemy, it doesn't count if you say it." The man still had a smile on his face: "First see clearly who is the enemy and who is the friend before it is too late."

"Shameless!" The old lady recognized who it was, her eyes widened with anger, she didn't even want to be a noble lady, and spat viciously: "It's a pity in this life that I couldn't kill you with my own hands back then, I'm leaving you as a disaster."

"You guys still have to regret it!" The man smiled triumphantly: "Why, the wound on Old General Chu's back stopped bleeding?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.The fact that the old general was plotted against was not known to the surrounding soldiers, but this man directly explained it for fear that others would not know, letting everyone know that his general was seriously injured.Looking closely, there was a very small feathered arrow on the old general's back at some point. If it wasn't for the cloak covering it, even the armor would be stained red.

……

It was still dark when Zhu Chengdong and Yinger returned to the camp.

After all, he was worried about the old general and the old lady dealing with the enemy in Ulanqab. No matter how disobedient they were, those two were always old and couldn't be bothered.

He waited impatiently for a long time before he heard the report from the spies, saying that the fire on the city gate had been extinguished, and the soldiers inside and outside the city had assembled into a team to fight against the Tatar foreign enemies together.

Slightly relieved, Zhu Chengdong took up his pen and prepared to write a secret report to the capital. The loss in Ulanqab these few days was not small, and he should let those people in the capital know.

"Report!" It was almost Xu time, and finally another spy came to report Ulanchabu's situation.Zhu Chengdong hurriedly asked someone to come in and talk, but the spy was sweating all over his forehead, knelt on the ground for a long time and couldn't say a word: "General...something happened!"
