A stream of firelight spread from the night alley into the Yacheng courtyard. The corners and walls of the courtyard were heavily guarded, and there were also patrols inspecting it. It was dark and gloomy outside the wall, but it was bright inside the courtyard.

As soon as the carriage arrived, a group of people hurriedly circled in front of the gate house and stretched out their lanterns to look forward. This group of people were all Mr. Cang Yue's trusted followers. As soon as Mr. Xiangbo got off the car, he was surrounded by a group of people.

Strange soldiers gathered in front of the door. They looked at him carefully from head to toe with astonished faces, fearing that they had mistakenly recognized the person.

After all, even if their master went to Shengyang Lake to invite him with a heart full of sunflower seeds, Mr. Xiangbo refused to come out for the second time. At this time, to their surprise, he wore simple clothes and disheveled his hair, showing an easy-going and free-spirited manner.

The fog (fog) is coming solidly.

They knew that scholars were eccentric and arrogant. They had great knowledge and ability, and naturally had a temper. Moreover, even a nine-headed ox could not pull him back if he made up his mind. Therefore, they were very curious and surprised as to what happened to Mrs. Chen during this trip.

How could he invite this arrogant Mr. Xiangbo here?

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes wandered to the carriage. Except for Wu A and Shan Hu, there was no one else behind them.

Huh? What about Chen San, who heard that he was riding alone on a horse to invite people? He was stunned and suspicious.

In fact, Xun Zhai held the "hero" Chen Baiqi behind the car and walked steadily and steadily, which was not as fast as the speed of the car.

Mr. Sun, however, was already impatient. With a gloomy face, he coughed hard and waved his hand to push the person away. He turned around and welcomed Mr. Xiang Bo to the bedside politely and attentively.

Mr. Xiangbo's face in the night was illuminated by the hazy firelight, and his hair was spread over his shoulders, frivolous and alienated. However, his eyebrows were like a line of light ink carved on the distant mountains, which were distant and elegant, making people feel ethereal and untouchable. His alienation and

The mountains look up and leave spontaneously.

No one dared to be disrespectful, nor did they dare to flatter him loudly. They all glanced at other parts of his face below to show their respect.

Mr. Xiangbo was very sad in his heart, and this sadness also infected his eyebrows. He was half-invited and half-seated to the bed. He glanced around and saw that the indoor windows and doors were all closed tightly as soon as he entered, as if he was afraid.

Entering with a hint of atmosphere, tree-shaped copper lamps are lit in the southeast, northwest, and the clusters of light illuminate every corner even in the dark night.

Then, he lowered his eyes and looked down at Young Master Cang Yue, who was lying on the bed at this time. His breathing was slow and heavy, his cheeks and cheeks were red, and his lips were burning like cinnabar. This unhealthy redness was still there.

Devouring his life bit by bit, his neckline was now widely opened, revealing a large area of ​​toned and white chest skin. There were three shocking long and narrow wounds on the skin, which were deep in the middle and shallow at the front and rear ends.

The muscle tissue began to become inflamed and swollen, indicating that he was clearly terminally ill.

There were three people inside and three outside the room standing next to the bed. They all looked worried and nervous. They were looking at the painful and sick face of the master at one moment, and at the side face of Mr. Xiangbo who was silently meditating at the other.

"First of all, sir, how is our lord...injured?" Mr. Sun's whole body was tense, and there were blisters on the corners of his mouth. He didn't dare to disturb Mr. Sun's medical examination, so he could only ask softly and cautiously.

Mr. Xiangbo felt a little dizzy. He frowned and staggered a bit, as if he had been greatly stimulated. When he saw Mr. Sun asking, he touched his eyes and waved his sleeves, saying in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "So, so and so is dizzy with blood."

, there are too many people, and I still feel difficulty breathing..."

Mr. Sun was stunned... fainted, dizzy? What's wrong with this?

He looked around and wiped his sweat anxiously... What, what should I do?

He quickly stepped forward to help him, but the "sick" Mr. Xiangbo was about to burst into tears: "Sir, you have to hold on..." He turned his head and shouted angrily towards the same group of helpless people.

: "You guys, please go out and wait first, don't stand here like wooden posts and make sir nervous!"

"No..." The others were startled, immediately bowed their hands, and exited the room cowardly.

Mr. Xiangbo added weakly: "This light is too bright..."

Mr. Sun reacted immediately, gritted his teeth and said to the maid aside: "Hurry up and put out some lights..."

After Mr. Sun had satisfied Mr. Xiang Bo's request, he turned around and was about to ask about his condition. He saw Mr. Xiang Bo tuck his hands and lower his eyelashes, which were as black as paint, as if he was thinking about something important.

Mr. Sun opened his eyes wide, held his breath, and looked at him expectantly and nervously.

He guessed that Mr. Xiangbo must be thinking about how to give the Lord medicine.

After a long while, I saw Mr. Xiang Bo slap his forehead. He accidentally knocked himself out because he slapped his forehead too hard. Stars appeared in his eyes. He staggered and circled in place a few times, and then the wheel fell down.

Sitting on the banquet, he then raised his voice with a trembling pale smile, and said weakly and apologetically: "Just now I remembered... I was in such a hurry to go down the mountain, and I didn't have any rescue medicine with me. I'm afraid..."

Mr. Sun's movement of reaching out to help him stalled, and his expression almost collapsed.

——What?! What does "This trip down the mountain is too urgent, and I don't have any rescue medicine with me, I'm afraid..." What does he mean by this?!

At this time, the door was closed and someone pushed it open from the outside. A dry breeze blew into the room. However, they saw the old military doctor who had come to treat Young Master Cang Yue. At this time, he was carrying a box and cage, with a box on one end.

Khandi walked in in a hurry: "Whatever you want, sir, I have it here."

"Even if he doesn't, in this entire Pingling City, Chen San believes that he will always find what he needs." Chen Baiqi was supported by Xun Zhai and walked out step by step from behind the old military doctor. She should be freshening up.

After going through it again, her hair was disheveled and wet, she was wearing a moon-white long dress, with wide hanging cuffs piping with silver threads, and the cuffs were thin with light yellow patterns. She had the figure and posture of a boy, elegant and graceful, and the peach and apricot of a girl.

The beautiful girl's eyes are as bright as crystal beads.

"So, sir." She raised her eyebrows, her beautiful eyebrows were so beautiful that she was so beautiful and so beautiful, and the smile that overflowed from her lips deepened: "Please treat him."

When he heard Chen Baiqi's voice, Mr. Chen suddenly turned around and almost burst into tears when he stared at her. He looked at her with an eager and burning look - No way, he couldn't understand this weak-looking girl at all.

You are such a cunning and cunning guy. Chen San, my lord’s life will depend on you from now on!

Mr. Xiangbo was stunned for a moment, subconsciously turned away his eyes, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you take a rest first."

Chen Baiqi asked Xun Zhai to let go of him, then he solemnly folded his hands, touched the back of his hands with his forehead, and bowed deeply: "Sir, please save the young master first."

Mr. Xiangbo opened his mouth, his eyes changed again and again, and he narrowed his eyes to a narrow slit, showing an expression of hard thinking.

When he saw Chen Baisan, just like Mr. Sun and others saw Mr. Xiangbo, he felt very distressed but helpless. It was obviously not feasible to deal with her the same way as others, but he used too drastic methods to deal with her.

He was unwilling to use it on her, so... the result of wronging himself was that he felt that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all tangled together in pain.

Mr. Xiangbo was heartbroken—did he... meet his nemesis?

——

In the end, Mr. Xiangbo couldn't resist Chen Baiqi and chose to save people. He asked the old military doctor to prepare all the necessary medicinal herbs for him. He also ordered Mr. Sun and others to boil water, open windows, burn a brazier, and prepare a set of

Clean clothes, and he needed a quiet environment to deal with Young Master Cang Yue's wounds alone. After retreating, only Chen Baiqi was left holding the lamp and doing his job.

It wasn't until late in the night that the busy figures in the room stopped. Mr. Xiangbo called someone to get a basin of water, and after washing the blood on his hands, he fell to the ground with a "pop" and fell unconscious.

"Sir!" Chen Bai was startled, stopped bandaging Young Master Cang Yue, and quickly stepped forward to check.

Mr. Xiang Bo was so noisy by Chen Baiqi that his eardrums hurt. He opened his eyes in a daze and muttered: "It's time..."

Chen Baiqi covered his ear and listened. Hearing him say that the time has come, he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed immediately: "When will the time come? Sir, will you know when you get off the mountain..."

"Sleep..." He tilted his head and fell asleep with smooth breathing.

Chen Baiqi's grief that she had no time to arouse suddenly turned into a look of stupidity. When she was sure that he was really asleep, she still vented her anger and grabbed his ears (gently) with lingering fear, and silently gnashed her teeth - he was

Elementary school students? You must go to bed as soon as the time is up!

However... She turned her head and glanced at Young Master Cang Yue on the bed. At this time, his breathing was basically stable. After the treatment, the wound would probably not continue to worsen. Now he can sleep peacefully. I have to say,

Xiangbo's medical skills are indeed like those of Bian Que.

Looking at the men sleeping on the left and right, the night was quiet. She also felt that the eyelids she had been holding on were getting heavier and heavier. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she rubbed the itchy and swollen eyelids and fell down on the bed.

He fell asleep the next second.

It is said that the people outside the house waited and waited, but heard that there was no movement inside. After hesitating for a long time, they finally made mental preparations and gently pushed the door open. They saw that the room was quiet, the evening breeze was relaxed by the window lattice, and the tinkling bells and glass were clashing.

, the night was filled with a perfect and beautiful lightness, the shallow candlelight melted and scattered, like a thin and gentle veil covering three faces that were equally pale and tired, but fell into a deep sleep close to each other.

Mr. Sun, Xun Zhai and others were stunned. For some reason, they felt like a reckless intruder at this moment. For fear of disturbing the peace of the room, they secretly glanced at each other and stepped out quietly with their feet.

He walked out and gently closed the door.

——

Chen Baiqi was sleeping tiredly in the Yacheng's apartment in the city. On the other side, Chen Jiabao secretly received a letter. In a dark room that no one knew about, a man unfolded the letter and carefully read its contents. He couldn't believe it and read it again.

, read it over and over again, and after confirming that the content of the letter was correct, he immediately tore it apart angrily with his bow from left to right, threw it to the ground, trampled on it, and shouted in a bitter and miserable voice: "Chu State!——Chen Family!——"

He raised a fist and punched the cold thick wall hard. His red eyes opened wider and wider and were covered with bloodshot eyes. Finally, he let out a sob, and tears of pain and despair overflowed: "It's shameful to bear shame and live in greed. It's really shameful to endure shame and live in greed."

,But, shame, ah..."

...After all...he was abandoned by the person he valued and trusted the most...

——

The four cities inside and outside Pingling County were sealed off late at night. The news that Zhao's army was approaching the city spread like wildfire in every village in the city and county. Residents in the entire city were in panic all day long and stayed awake late at night.

Because Prince Cang Yue was seriously injured and unconscious, Mr. Sun will temporarily be in charge of the attack on the city against Zhao's tens of thousands of troops tomorrow.

Mr. Sun is also full of worries. Currently, the Cangyue Army only has 3,000 troops. The main roads and communication channels in Pingling City have been blocked by the Zhao army. It is basically impossible to communicate with foreign countries for help.

After thinking about it, the first thing now is to unite with all the forces in the city to fight the enemy. Therefore, he sent people early to divide into several groups and go from house to lane to shout about the current situation, beating drums and drums, which will inevitably destroy the entire city.

People with lofty ideals mobilize.

The county magistrate and the county magistrate have long since left the city, but there are only three old men in the county, Uncle Yan, who are in charge of the education of a township, a group of stingy husbands who are in charge of the prison litigation and taxation of a township, and who are in charge of hunting and stealing livestock in the township.

Zheng Mulin, local aristocratic families, aristocratic branches, common people and some gentry and merchants, all of these people more or less have someone to draw from.

Because Mr. Sun's announcement spread the seriousness of the situation, some local forces came to the door at night.

The third old man, Uncle Yan, along with his second grandson and four servants, came in a hurry with torches. Mr. Sun heard the news and went out early to greet him without the accompanying sergeants.

Uncle Yan's old face was wrinkled. He tried to open his pair of cloudy eyes that were covered by drooped eyelids. He grabbed Mr. Sun's arm and asked urgently: "What on earth is going on? Why did Zhao Jun do this?"

Suddenly invaded Pingling County!"

He was holding a cane in his hand and banging on the floor while talking. The force was so strong that he almost fell over and fell backwards. Fortunately, there were two grandchildren behind him who were supporting him.
