Li Zhang

The dark guard had been thinking about Li Zhang's injury that day, and hid outside the imperial hospital for a long time, and finally waited for the most benevolent imperial doctor Sun, who quietly used magic fragrance to lure him to Li Zhang's abandoned hospital.

Li Zhang got the Empress Dowager's pardon, and the guards were removed from outside the abandoned courtyard. Coupled with the awe of the palace people for the fox monster, the abandoned courtyard was really barren and completely deserted.

Doctor Sun was led outside the abandoned hospital to find out what had happened. Thinking of the tragedy he had heard, he felt pity.After carefully examining Li Zhang's injuries, he also took out the knife. The hidden guard saw it in the dark, and couldn't help but feel cold all over, but he stopped making trouble.

Doctor Sun fed Li Zhang to drink Mafeisan, and then took the knife to cut out the flesh when the medicine took effect. Li Zhang, who was in a coma, was still trembling with pain.

Sun Yuyi's compassionate hands were sharp, and he had gouged out the knife several times, washed it with medicinal wine, and applied a thick ointment before wiping off his sweat in a state of exhaustion. He sat down at the table and wrote a prescription, while While writing, he said to himself: "His trauma needs to be changed every day. First wash with wine and then apply ointment. Don't be soft when washing, otherwise there will be hidden dangers."

The dark guard held his breath and did not answer.

Sun Yuyi finished writing the prescription in a hurry, calmed down with the teapot on the table, and continued to talk to himself: "He has been starving for a long time, although he has pills to preserve his roots, his stomach has suffered deeply, so he must pay attention to the decoction and diet. And the pills, you need to continue taking them."

Doctor Sun looked at the deserted courtyard, hesitantly shook his head and sighed: "The medicinal materials in this prescription are easy to get, the difficulty is that I don't know what to do... Forget it, since there is no one here, I will use it as soon as possible." Let people fry it every day and put it by the window, with your skill, no one will notice."

The dark guard continued to hold his breath, listening to the imperial doctor's nagging, feeling a little weird.

He is the most rigid and stubborn person among the dark guards, he always orders and prohibits, and says what he says.In view of Baishan's sneaky information back then, Jin Baicai appointed him to "look after" Li Zhang, and he has followed his orders to this day: protecting Li Zhang's life without any trace.

When Li Zhang was in charge of the secret guard, he was on a mission outside the capital, so he didn't know Li Zhang, let alone the twists and turns that followed.So the task was just a task. He healed Li Zhang carefully, but he also watched him being humiliated numbly. Even on the day of exorcising the demons, he only secretly blamed his impulsiveness, annoyed at the situation that became difficult due to his willfulness.

He protected Li Zhang's life with the pills given by Mr. Jin, and because he trusted Mr. Jin, he never felt that things were going nowhere, so he was quite annoyed at Li Zhang's ignorance.Unexpectedly, the phrase he overheard later was that even Mr. Jin might not be able to save Li Zhang's life, which made him suddenly stop and stop annoying him.

He watched Li Zhang starve, although he saw him every night, Li Zhang never asked for food, and because he didn't give instructions, he didn't do anything.

She just forced him to swallow the pill and annoyed him with the angry eyes, but never thought that she was also an accomplice.

Now, listening to the imperial doctor's nagging, I suddenly realized that I failed to perform the task well and was negligent.

Li Zhang finally regained his vitality slowly, the sores gradually healed, but the scars remained deeply.The dark guard sent medicine to heal his wounds every night, but he endured in silence, never speaking.It's not that there is resentment in my heart, it's just that I feel tired, and I just stand quietly.The pain of changing the dressing was as painful as Ling Chi, and he couldn't sleep all night, so he gradually became dizzy during the day.

The weather is getting warmer, the weeds in the courtyard are lush again, and the leaves of the locust tree outside the courtyard wall have already faded.The swallows built their nests under the eaves, murmured cheerfully, and passed by lightly, but in his heart, the desolation of winter was still there.

After he was able to walk a little, Eunuch Pan sent him to clean up again, and he was still chained and led around, except for the crowds who watched and laughed.The day of exorcising the demon was too treacherous and intense, and the palace people still feared him, so they kept away from him when they passed by, which left him in peace.

He was still so skinny that only his bones could be seen, in Zhou's eyes, he was somewhat pleasing.Since she released Li Zhang, the time she spends in nightmares at night has gradually decreased. As soon as she is in good spirits, she has fewer demons, and she put aside the matter of the fox demon completely.When he saw Li Zhang crooked and unsteady, he stopped urging him severely.

This time Li Zhang's vitality that had never recovered was seriously injured again, he was tired and exhausted, he was exhausted after a while, and he had to rest for a long time before he could continue.The guarding internal supervisor looked at him pitifully, and seeing that Mrs. Zhou was no longer strict, he turned a blind eye and did not urge him.Even so, when Li Zhang returned to the abandoned courtyard, he almost didn't even have the energy to go to bed, and sometimes he would lie on the bedside and sleep until midnight, when the dark guards came to eat something before he went to bed and continued to sleep.

The dark guard became more and more uneasy, and every time he saw him like this, he gritted his teeth. Li Zhang always looked apologetic, drank the medicine meekly, and remained silent.

Li Zhang finally fainted outside, and after the inner eunuch sent him back, the hidden guards went to bring Imperial Doctor Sun to see him.

Sun Yuyi's face was very ugly after taking the pulse, and then he sighed for a long time when he saw that most of the dry noodles and pickled vegetables were left on the table.Turning around, he saw the hidden guard who was watching him carefully, and immediately pointed at him angrily, and immediately robbed him: "He has been eating these things all the time? You just let him eat these things?!"

The dark guard suddenly cringed a little, wanted to get angry but couldn't get angry, turned around and hid in the dark again.

Doctor Sun was so angry that he walked around the room, wanting to scold someone but there was no one to scold, so he stared at the direction where the hidden guard disappeared, stomped his feet and said, "You, you have to find some soft food for him to eat! Porridge, figure it out for yourself!"

Sun Yuyi left in a huff after speaking, leaving the staid guard in the shadows completely at a loss.

This day, Li Zhang fell asleep while hanging half of his body on the ground. When he woke up, he saw the reproach in the dark guard's eyes, and pulled the corner of his mouth apologetically.He got up slowly, took the medicine on the table, and reached for the leftover bread from the morning.

The dark guard, who was supposed to leave long ago, put a burden on the table silently, and when he untied it, he found it was a bowl of boiled thick rice porridge, and Li Zhang couldn't help being stunned.

He raised his head to look at the dark guard, who stared at him warmly with eyes on his tightly covered face, touched his body, and frowned again.

Li Zhang's heart warmed, seeing him hold the bowl in both hands at a loss, and reached out to take it: "Thank you!"

The dark guard refused to let go: "It's too cold! I...cover it for you."

Li Zhang laughed: "It's not warm here. It's okay, I've eaten cold food all winter, it's not bad this time."

"..."

Li Zhang smiled quietly, his brows and eyes slightly bent: "Give it to me, I'm so hungry!"

The dark guard let go hesitantly.Li Zhang took it and took a sip slowly.Although it was completely cold, the rice porridge still had a unique fragrance, which made Li Zhang's eyes slightly wet.He savored it carefully for a while, and only swallowed it carefully when the porridge was slightly warmer.The small mouthful of porridge was still as cold as a stone, and it slowly fell down the esophagus and into the stomach, causing another familiar colic.He closed his eyes and endured it for a while. Before the worried guard could make a sound, his eyes froze. He gulped down the remaining cold porridge, smiled, and handed the bowl back to the guard: "It's delicious. Please tell Jin My lord, Li Zhang will not break his promise, so there is no need to bother so much."

"……Yes."

"Can you tell me who you are?"

"...Bai Qi." The dark guard's voice was muffled, as if he was very reluctant.

Li Zhang nodded and thanked him again.

Bai Qi was so depressed that he didn't know what to say, he turned around and hid out.

Only then did Li Zhang relax, curled up and pressed his stomach forcefully, sweating profusely.

Bai Qi still reported Jin Bai after the incident, Jin Bai deeply blamed himself when he heard the words, he didn't blame Bai Qi for being reckless, but he ordered Sima Yi's small kitchen to cook some porridge every day, and asked Bai Qi to take it and deliver it under the pretext that he was hungry after staying up late.Li Zhang's stomach and intestines, which had been abused for a long time, finally recuperated, his dull life eased a little, and Bai Qi's inexplicably tight heart also relaxed a little.

In June, Sima Yi followed Wei Pingxuan's suggestion and sent envoys to discuss peace with Xianbei, promising to open Zhangyuan as a trade gateway after the rebellion was over, and Wei to provide food, cloth and iron in exchange for Xianbei's horses and livestock.The Xianbei people had different opinions, and after several discussions, it was agreed that a thousand stones of grain and a thousand bolts of silk cloth would be used as a guarantee of the sincerity of the Great Wei, and they agreed to negotiate a peace.

Afterwards, the rebel army was divided into two groups, the Dingbei Army led by Su Qingyang, and the Dingbei Army led by Su Qingyang. Before Chengxuan could react, they had conquered Yongzhou, Nanyang and Xiangyang one after another, and the army was approaching Jiangling.Most of the defenders in Qinzhou were captured, and the defenders in Jingzhou were also defeated.The governor of Jingzhou urgently asked Cheng Xuan for help.Cheng Xuan asked him to delay as long as possible, promising that the rebellious army would retreat within half a month.At the same time, the Dingxi Army, which had been renamed the Ai Army, was secretly mobilized, and together with the remaining Qinzhou defenders, they set up an ambush on the way back to Beijing for the rebellious army.

Ten days later, Rouran suddenly sent troops from Jiuyuan, approaching Loufan Pass, and the guards could not escape.Three days later, a spy switched on and off the enemy in the middle of the night, and the city was destroyed.The Rouran army burned and looted the city wantonly, and took away thousands of young men and women.After that, it continued to go south, approaching Bingzhou.Sima Yi hurriedly dispatched the Eastern Army to go north to fight against the enemy. The Dingdong Army, which had not yet regained its strength due to the failure of the previous rebellion, could not resist the Rouran cavalry who drove straight in.

Su Qingyang, who was sweeping against the front, made a decisive decision and withdrew his troops from Jingzhou and returned to his division.Su Qingyang was a very cautious person. He temporarily changed lanes on the way to withdraw his troops, avoiding Xiangyang and Nanyang that had already been captured, and left Xinyang from Suizhou instead.And after capturing Xinyang, he beheaded the commander in chief of the city with an extremely ruthless method, and showed his head to the public, which shocked the subsequent small counties along the way, and the army was able to travel lightly and head straight to the north.

The rear of Mu Yan Palace was in charge of supplying food and taking in the fallen soldiers, and gradually distanced himself from the main army. The mourning army who was being pursued in Wuyang caught up and fell into a tight siege.Mu Yan led the army to occupy a large courtyard, guarding the gate with a crossbow cart, and prepared to resist until the reinforcements arrived.

Cheng Xuan was excited when he heard that Mu Yan was trapped, and when he heard that he was carrying dozens of ballistas and battering rams, he kept yelling that he couldn't let him go.

The offensive and defensive tug-of-war fought for four or five days. Mu Yan successfully resisted the lightly armed pursuers by relying on the strength of the wall.But as the number of attackers gathered more and more, the soldiers guarding the courtyard wall could no longer resist, and the mud-rammed courtyard wall couldn't resist the impact of the siege hammer, and it collapsed.

Soldiers swarmed in and surrounded Mu Yan and the few remaining soldiers. Mu Yan's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he took a big knife and charged into the enemy.Everyone was terrified, and retreated one after another to resist with long weapons.Mu Yan yelled violently, using his inner strength in his palm, he pushed himself straight into the tip of the spear and the blade, when the wind passed by his palm, the swords and spears all snapped off, and swung the life-threatening sword again.

Mu Yan killed so many corpses strewn all over the ground, like a vicious god, standing bathed in blood.Although the leader of the mourning army hadn't entered in person, he was already frightened, and ordered a salvo of bows and crossbows.Numerous arrows fell into the courtyard like locusts, Mu Yan swung his sword and retreated, hid with others under the grain and grass cart, and took another hard crossbow to string and fire the arrows.The rest of the soldiers understood, took their crossbows and occupied their positions, and kept shooting the enemy's life in the arrow rain.

After nightfall, the torches were brightly lit outside the courtyard, and there were arrow shafts in the courtyard. All the generals of the mourning army looked at the courtyard with uncertain expressions, and they were all at a loss for the order to capture Mu Yan alive.At this moment, the messenger brought a new order of "shoot to kill", and all the generals were relieved.

After the last call to the inside was rejected, countless torches were thrown into the courtyard, slowly igniting the arrow shafts all over the ground and the grain and grass in the cart, gradually burning more and more vigorously, swallowing everything in the courtyard with the tongue of fire, and spreading to the entire estate.There was a sudden burst of screaming and crying, and people kept rushing out of the courtyard covered in flames, and were shot and killed one by one by the soldiers waiting outside.Poor this family, the place was first forcibly occupied by Mu Yan, and then burned into coke by the mourning army, none of them escaped.

The fire burned overnight before it was extinguished.After dawn, the scene of the fire was a mess and smelly, and the people in the house were about to vomit.Everyone hurriedly checked and returned home after confirming that no one survived.
