Chapter 141: Accomplice

Chu Qingzhi pulled Tang Jinghong into the tent. “1 made something for you to eat. Try this silver fungus soup.”

Tang Jinghong liked sweet food. “When did you make it?”

Chu Qingzhi scooped the soup into a bowl and handed it to Tang Jinghong. “In the morning. Eat it quickly.”

Tang Jinghong stirred it with a spoon. “Aren’t you eating?”

“I’ll eat the snacks you gave me.” Chu Qingzhi carried the box over. There were some salty snacks in the box.

Tang Jinghong knew that she liked to eat salty food.

Tang Jinghong smiled. “Tell me when you finish it. 1’11 buy more for you.”

Chu Qingzhi smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

In an empty village somewhere, Wan Zhilin temporarily stayed here. After hearing his subordinate’s report, he was shocked. “Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi solved the epidemic and the locust plague together? No one is dead?”

In the past, when such a disaster happened, it was always destructive. How could it be resolved so easily? How come no one died?

What was going on?

The subordinate knelt on the ground. “Master, I saw it with my own eyes. The refugees were laughing and smiling. They were all very happy under Tang Jinghong’s care.”

Wan Zhilin said angrily, “They’re homeless now. They have everything and they’re going to die. What’s there to be happy about?”

Wan Zhilin was about to go crazy from anger. If this continued, the situation that was absolutely favorable to them would be reversed.

He could not let it continue like this. He must get rid of Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi.

“Pass down my order. No matter what method you have to use, kill Tang Jinghong and Chu Qingzhi!”

The subordinate replied, “Yes, Master.”

Wan Zhilin angrily brushed all the teacups on the table to the ground. The broken teacup was just like his heart at this moment.

After waiting for two days, Yuan Hongjun received a reply from Tang Jinghong that said “Tell me the location. I’ll rush over immediately.”

When Yuan Hongjun saw the letter, he was much at ease.

But just as he returned to the refugee camp, the last thing he wanted to see happened.

Not far away, a young man asked worriedly, “Grandpa, your forehead is so hot. Do you have a fever?”

When Yuan Hongjun heard this, he walked over as quickly as possible. “I’m a doctor. Let me take a look at your grandfather.”

The young man nodded with red eyes. Being sick here was no different from receiving a death warrant.

After Yuan Hongjun took the old man’s pulse, a chill ran down his spine. Malaria!

“It’s so cold, so cold…” A man beside him curled up and trembled as he shouted.

Someone at the side said, “It’s such a hot day, yet you’re shouting that it’s cold. Are you kidding me?”

When these words entered Yuan Hongjun’s ears, he instantly felt even colder. Malaria would not erupt at the beginning. Instead, it would brew for three to five days before erupting. When it erupted, it would already be serious.

He raised his head and looked around. Many people already had symptoms.

Yuan Hongjun rushed to the courier station to write a letter to Tang Jinghong. He told Tang Jinghong about the situation here and asked him to make preparations.

Then, he rushed back to the refugee camp.

When he reached the edge of the camp, he saw a man shouting, “It’s time to go. Everyone, prepare to set off.” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Someone said, “Someone in my family is sick. Let’s rest for a day.”

“Staying is equivalent to waiting for death!” The man had no mercy at all. “If you want to stay, you can stay. If you want to find a water source, follow me.”

A refugee echoed, “That’s right. If we stay, we’ll be waiting for death. Why don’t we give it a try?”

The man said loudly, “Pack up and follow me.”

“Great, I’ve been searching high and low for you!” Yuan Hongjun picked up a silver needle with his fingertip and threw it at the man who spoke just now.

The man quickly collapsed.

When the four men beside him saw the man fall, they hurriedly went forward to check.

These men were muscular and had deep eyes. They were clearly not refugees. They must be the man’s accomplices. Yuan Hongjun thought to himself. Then, he threw a few silver needles at them and knocked out the four men.

Yuan Hongjun stood on the spot and watched quietly to see if there were any other accomplices.

Soon, five more men ran towards them.

“I didn’t expect so many people to be hiding among the refugees.” Yuan Hongjun muttered. He didn’t show any mercy and knocked down the five men.

After waiting for ten minutes, seeing that no one stepped forward again, Yuan Hongjun took the opportunity to say, “Everyone, look. They’re all sick. How are they going to bring us to find a water vein? 1 heard that the Emperor has sent people to provide disaster relief. Why don’t we wait here?”

“Disaster relief?” someone asked. “Little brother, who told you that there is disaster relief?”

Everyone looked at Yuan Hongjun with bright eyes.

Yuan Hongjun pretended to be surprised. “You don’t know? The refugees on the other side have been properly arranged and even found the water vein.”

Someone asked hopefully, “Is what you said true?”

“Of course it’s true.” Yuan Hongjun thought to himself. The letter that Tang Jinghong sent him just now was very clear. He was also very impressed. As expected, Tang Jinghong was the most reliable. “If you don’t believe me, how about we go and meet up with them?”

He could not bring these people to the capital. Otherwise, they might cause some trouble.

Gui Yuzhou could not help but ask, “Little Brother, do you know where they are?”

Yuan Hongjun said, “I know. They’re outside Xu City. I came from there.”

From here to Xu City, with the speed of the refugees, it would take about ten days. If they were faster, they would arrive in six to seven days.

Gui Yuzhou was a little disappointed. “It’s so far. There’s no water along the way. I’m afraid we won’t be able to make it.”

“It’s not guaranteed that there will be water if we continue forward, but It’s guaranteed that there will be water in Xu City. Which one do you choose?”

Some refugees were tempted. “Little brother, are you really sure there’s water on their side?”

A refugee stood up and stared at Yuan Hongjun with a murderous gaze. “He’s lying to you. As far as I know, not only is there no water in Xu City, but there’s also a locust plague. Some refugees have even been killed.”

Everyone immediately became terrified. A locust plague? Why would there be a locusts plague?

Yuan Hongjun’s expression was cold. “You’ve always been with us. How did you know about the situation over there?”

The man said unhurriedly, “I came over yesterday. I know what’s going on there.”

Yuan Hongjun asked warily, “Why did you come here?”

The man answered flawlessly, “My family is here. I’m here to look for them.”

Yuan Hongjun looked down and saw seven to eight men sitting beside the man. They were well-built and stared at him like poisonous snakes. They did not look like refugees at all.

Oh no, there were accomplices..

Chapter 142: Meeting Old Friends

Yuan Hongjun quickly thought of a countermeasure. He couldn’t win a fight against them, nor could he outrun them.

As he walked towards Gui Yuzhou, his body suddenly went limp and he fell.

He pretended to be sick. Those people probably wouldn’t approach people with the epidemic.

Gui Yuzhou quickly helped him up. “Little Brother, what’s wrong? Are you sick too?”

Someone touched Yuan Hongjun’s forehead and exclaimed, “Brother Yuzhou, his forehead is so hot.”

Someone at the side said, “He’s sick too. Many of us are sick!”

“What sickness is this? Why are people getting infected one after another?”

“It’s terrifying.”

“It can’t be an epidemic, right? Otherwise, we’ll be doomed.”

Everyone immediately retreated from those who were sick.

The man walked over to look at Yuan Hongjun and reached out to check his pulse. Since Yuan Hongjun had already contracted the disease, there was no need for him to make a move. Otherwise, those refugees would not listen to him when they saw him kill someone.

The man returned. After a while, he continued to lead the refugees towards the capital.

Yuan Hongjun opened one eye and looked around. There were about a thousand refugees who were infected and could not leave.

Gui Yuzhou stayed behind, and the rest of his small group left.

Yuan Hongjun was very surprised. “Yuzhou, why didn’t you leave?”

Gui Yuzhou also wanted to leave, but he was indebted to Yuan Hongjun. “You saved my life. How can 1 abandon you?”

Yuan Hongjun smiled. “You are my good brother.”

Gui Yuzhou looked in the direction where the refugees had left. “They’ve all left. What should we do now?”

Yuan Hongjun said firmly, “To Xu City.”

Gui Yuzhou reacted. “Is what you said true?”

Yuan Hongjun patted Gui Yuzhou’s shoulder. “Of course it’s true. You risked your life to stay behind to take care of me. Why would I lie to you?”

Gui Yuzhou was immediately motivated. “Then let’s set off at once.”

Yuan Hongjun quickly got up. “Okay.”

When Gui Yuzhou saw Yuan Hongjun’s nimble movement, he said in surprise, “You’re not sick?”

Yuan Hongjun whispered, “They wanted to kill me. I have to pretend to be sick to escape.”

Gui Yuzhou’s mind was filled with question marks. “They? Who are they? Why do they want to kill you?”

“Let’s talk as we walk.” Yuan Hongjun planned to meet up with Tang Jinghong. He had already figured out the situation here. There was no need to follow the refugees.

After Tang Jinghong made arrangements in Xu City and left Tan Yibin to guard it, he brought Chu Qingzhi, Shen Yufeng, and the others to meet up with Yuan Hongjun.

Chu Qingzhi asked with concern, “Jinghong, 1 saw that you were very anxious after you read the letter. What happened?”

Tang Jinghong told Chu Qingzhi the contents of the letter.

“Did the Lord of the Northern Border send people to spread the rumor that we are suffering from Heavenly Punishment?” Chu Qingzhi frowned. “Jinghong, what do you plan to do?”

“I guess it’s the Lord of the Northern Border, but there’s no evidence. I can’t be sure that it’s him.” Tang Jinghong paused and said, “I don’t plan to do anything about the rumor. I can’t stop it from spreading. The best way to stop the rumor is to use facts to debunk it. As long as we handle the refugee crisis well, all the rumors will collapse.”

Chu Qingzhi thought to herself. Jinghong was very clear-headed. “1 will support every decision you make.”

Tang Jinghong turned to look at Chu Qingzhi. Qingzhi could always understand what he meant. He liked this feeling of being understood without explaining too much.

He waved his horsewhip. “Giddyup…” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The reinforcements that came to help were led by a deputy general called An Changfeng. At this moment, he was standing on a mountain and looking down the mountain.

Behind him were two of his trusted subordinates.

Suddenly, one of his subordinates pointed in a direction and said, “Deputy General, look, refugees!”

An Changfeng quickly looked over. “Let’s go down the mountain to intercept them.”

“Yes.”

An Changfeng brought 10,000 soldiers over and stood on the path the refugees had to take to reach the capital. He looked very mighty.

When the man leading the way saw the soldiers, he knew that something was wrong and quickly hid among the refugees.

An Changfeng looked very burly and had a big beard. He looked very powerful. “Everyone, stop. Otherwise, I’ll kill you without mercy!”

Indeed, it was easier to convince people when you had the advantage in numbers. With his order, no one dared to move.

An Changfeng instructed the soldiers, “Distribute a portion of the water we brought to everyone. Also, set up a pot to cook porridge for them.”

The soldiers replied, “Yes.”

When the refugees heard this, uneasiness and panic immediately turned into joy.

“Did he just say that he’se going to give us water?”

“I think he said something about making porridge for us.”

“We’re saved. We’re saved.”

An Changfeng instructed the soldiers to set up camp. Then, he also wrote a letter and sent it to Tang Jinghong.

“Brother Tang.” Yuan Hongjun stood on a hill and waved at Tang Jinghong. His voice carried the unique clarity of a young man, and his face revealed the lively side of a young man.

Free Entry To Over 500 Museums And Exhibitions Tang Jinghong stopped. “Hongjun, why are you here?”

Yuan Hongjun flew down the hill and landed in front of Tang Jinghong’s horse. “Brother Tang, give me water first. I’ll tell you after I drink it.”

Tang Jinghong threw the water bag to him.

Chu Qingzhi sized up Yuan Hongjun. What a smart and cute young man. His body was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. He should be dealing with herbs all year round.

Shen Yufeng smiled and said, “Little Divine Doctor, why are you in such a sorry state?”

Yuan Hongjun was still wearing the tattered clothes of the refugees. His hair was messy and he looked like a little beggar who had been on the streets for many years. “If I didn’t wear these clothes, how could I blend in with the refugees to gather information?”

Shen Yufeng smiled and asked, “Then what did you find out?”

Yuan Hongjun pointed at Tang Jinghong. “I told him everything.”

Shen Yufeng was secretly shocked. He did not expect the little Divine Doctor to have already contacted his general.

His gaze slowly became filled with admiration. His general was getting more resourceful and powerful.

Gui Yuzhou, who was on the hill, was dumbfounded. Not only did his little brother know martial arts, but he also seemed to know some powerful people.

His identity didn’t seem to be simple!

Yuan Hongjun drank the water and realized that Gui Yuzhou was still on the hill. He hurriedly waved at him. “Come down quickly. There’s water here.”

Gui Yuzhou immediately rushed down the mountain, stumbling as if he was drunk.

Yuan Hongjun smiled and handed the water bag to him. “Drink it. It’s all yours.”

Gui Yuzhou was extremely thirsty. He did not refuse and took the water bag to drink.

Tang Jinghong threw some dry food to Yuan Hongjun. There was definitely nothing to eat in this wilderness. He didn’t know how many days Yuan Hongjun had starved, but he looked much thinner.

Yuan Hongjun smiled. “Brother Tang is still the best.”

Tang Jinghong said, “Eat. We have to continue on our way.”

Yuan Hongjun ate half of it and gave the other half to Gui Yuzhou. “This is for you.”

Gui Yuzhou looked at the donkey jerky in his hand and cried. “I… I haven’t had meat for seven to eight months.”

Yuan Hongjun patted his shoulder. “If you follow me in the future, you will have meat to eat every day.”

Gui Yuzhou nodded and thought to himself that he had met a benefactor. He was too lucky.

After the two of them finished eating, Tang Jinghong asked Chu Qingzhi to ride the same horse with him. Chu Qingzhi gave her horse to Yuan Hongjun and Gui Yuzhou, and the group continued on their way..

Chapter 143: Poisonous Snakes

In a canyon somewhere.

A pile of rocks as tall as a person appeared in front of him. Tang Jinghong hurriedly stopped the horse.

Chu Qingzhi frowned slightly. “It’s not raining. Why would mountain rocks fall from the mountain?”

Yuan Hongjun looked up at the canyon. “Perhaps it’s because it hasn’t rained for a long time that the mountain rocks became loose and fell?”

Shen Yufeng dismounted. “1’11 go clean up the rocks.”

Shen Yufeng was known as a Hercules in the army. It was not difficult for him to carry a rock that weighed 100 kilograms.

Everyone got off their horses and helped to clean up the rocks.

Tang Jinghong moved a flat rock to the shadow and pulled Chu Qingzhi over to sit on the rock. “You don’t have to do that. Sit down and rest.”

Yuan Hongjun looked over, and a hint of surprise flashed across his handsome face. Brother Tang, who had never been close to women, actually treated Chu Qingzhi so well!

Gui Yuzhou also looked over with envy in his eyes. If he had a girl by his side, he would also treat her so well.

Shen Yufeng had long known Chu Qingzhi’s place in Tang Jinghong’s heart. He didn’t find it strange at all.

Yuan Hongjun was filled with endless questions. He wanted to ask about the relationship between the two of them.

At this moment, his expression suddenly changed. “Be careful. There are poisonous snakes on the tree!”

Tang Jinghong quickly pulled Chu Qingzhi out of the shadows. He pulled out his sword and slashed the snake that was pouncing at him and Chu Qingzhi into two.

The snake landed on the ground. Its body twisted, but it did not die. It opened its mouth and pounced at Tang Jinghong again. Its sharp snake teeth reflected a cold light under the sunlight.

Tang Jinghong raised his sword and slashed, cutting the poisonous snake in half. This time, the poisonous snake fell to the ground and died completely.

Yuan Hongjun was knowledgeable and immediately explained, “This snake is poisonous. If you get bitten, you will definitely die in ten minutes. Moreover, there is no cure. However, this snake normally lives in the desert and won’t appear in the Central Plains.”

As he spoke, there were more hissing sounds.

Tang Jinghong shouted, “Get on the horse. Let’s go.”

Yuan Hongjun looked back at the way they came from. He could not help but panic. “It’s too late.” n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The snakes were covered in red, yellow, and black spots. At a glance, it was obvious that it was extremely poisonous. The big ones were the size of calves, and the small ones were the size of arms. As they flicked their tongues, they surrounded them from all directions.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”

The sound of the poisonous snakes flicking their tongues was endless, making one’s hair stand on end.

Shen Yufeng and the three soldiers immediately stood in a square and protected Tang Jinghong, Chu Qingzhi, Yuan Hongjun, and Gui Yuzhou in the middle. They held swords in their hands and used their actions to show that they would use their lives to protect the people behind them.

Chu Qingzhi was a little moved when she saw this scene. She looked at Tang Jinghong, wondering what he did to make his subordinates so loyal to him.

Shen Yufeng looked at the densely packed poisonous snakes that were constantly approaching and swallowed his saliva. “General, leave with Miss Chu and the Little Divine Doctor. We’ll cover you!”

A soldier’s eyes turned red as he said with a determination to die, “General, you must take care of yourself. In the next life, we will still be your soldiers.”

Tang Jinghong looked at the soldiers in front of him and said solemnly, “Try to save yourself if you can!”

Seeing that the poisonous snakes were already three meters away from them, Shen Yufeng threw caution to the wind and said, “Miss Chu, our general has never liked any woman. He has always kept his chastity and never got close to women. I hope you treat him well.” In the end, he shouted, “General, run!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out to kill the poisonous snakes and strived to carve out a bloody path for his general.

“Wait!” Chu Qingzhi suddenly shouted.

Shen Yufeng turned around in confusion.

Chu Qingzhi took out a white flute condensed with spiritual energy from her sleeve, placed it by her lips, and blew it gently.

A strange tone flew out of the flute. It was like a breeze blowing across the water, like a feather gently brushing across the face, like snow falling gently to the leaves. It was very gentle and pleasant to the ears.

Beast taming was nothing to her.

As the sound of the flute spread, the poisonous snakes stopped one after another. They raised their heads high and swayed gently, as if they were intoxicated.

This scene stunned everyone on the spot.

After a while, everyone turned around to look at Chu Qingzhi. The woman with a faint smile was calmly playing the flute. Her ink-black hair fluttered gently, and her light green clothes fluttered.

At this moment, she really looked like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world to save them.

Everyone was stunned.

Tang Jinghong stared at Chu Qingzhi, an indescribable light shininig in his eyes.

Yuan Hongjun also stared at Chu Qingzhi with a strange look in his clear eyes. No wonder Brother Tang cherished her so much. If it were him, he would also treat such a girl as a treasure!

At this moment, the tune changed, and the poisonous snakes immediately changed directions and slithered away.

As the hissing sound faded into the distance until it disappeared, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

A gust of mountain wind blew. Only then did everyone realize that their clothes were all wet and their legs and hands were trembling.

Chu Qingzhi put away the flute and staggered.

She was only at the Foundation Establishment realm now. Controlling tens of thousands of poisonous snakes had consumed a lot of her spiritual energy.

Tang Jinghong hurriedly carried her up and placed her on the rock to rest. “Qingzhi, are you feeling unwell?”

Chu Qingzhi shook her head. “I’m fine. I’m just a little tired!”

As she spoke, she suddenly saw an arrow flying towards them at high speed. She pulled Tang Jinghong and rolled on the ground to dodge the arrow.

Immediately, the soldiers quickly surrounded Tang Jinghong and looked around warily.

Tang Jinghong helped Chu Qingzhi up and shielded her behind him. He looked up at the masked man on the canyon with a deep gaze. “Who are you?”

The man smiled. “Go to hell and ask the King of Hell!”

He waved his hand, and a long line of masked men in black immediately appeared on both sides of the canyon. They stood in a line on the canyon. There were at least 500 of them, holding crossbows..

Chapter 144: Wipe Out the Enemy

Shen Yufeng’s expression was ugly. “General, they are from the army!” Only soldiers in the army could use crossbows. This was the rule of the Daling Dynasty.

Before Tang Jinghong could speak, the man on the canyon ordered coldly, “Kill! Leave no one alive!”

To be able to use the sound of the flute to make the poisonous snakes retreat, Chu Qingzhi was definitely more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. Perhaps, she was even more difficult to deal with than Tang Jinghong!

As soon as he finished speaking, all the men in black raised their crossbows and shot an arrow at the same time.

Immediately, arrows rained down from both sides of the canyon, bringing with them whistling sounds as they shot towards the few of them. The arrows reflected cold light under the sunlight.

The soldiers who followed Tang Jinghong were all experienced and well-trained. It was not difficult for them to block the arrows with their swords.

Crackle…

Tang Jinghong brought Chu Qingzhi to a tree. He stood in front of her and waved his sword, blocking all the arrows.

At the moment of life and death, Chu Qingzhi naturally wouldn’t just hide behind Tang Jinghong.

She picked up a branch that was two fingers wide and injected spiritual power into it. She walked out from behind Tang Jinghong and flew up the canyon as she blocked the arrows.

It was obvious that these people were well-prepared. They had to kill them. They could not just defend. Otherwise, when they were exhausted, they would become fish on the chopping block.

When Tang Jinghong saw this scene, his eyes widened. He could not help but be frightened. The arrows that filled the sky were like a net. It was too dangerous. “Qingzhi!”

He chased after her without hesitation…

When the man saw that Chu Qingzhi actually dared to fly up and that the rain of arrows could not do anything to her, his face darkened.

He took out a crossbow and aimed it at Chu Qingzhi.

“This crossbow has been modified. Its power is ten times that of ordinary crossbows and it can shoot out thirty arrows in one go. I wonder how you can block it.”

He sneered and pulled the trigger. Heavy arrows shot at Chu Qingzhi.

The men in black also cooperated with the man and aimed the arrow at Chu Qingzhi. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Immediately, another round of arrows rained down at Chu Qingzhi.

The man laughed arrogantly. “Haha, with a mortal body, let’s see how you can come out of it alive.”

Tang Jinghong shouted, “Qingzhi, be careful!”

Seeing this, Chu Qingzhi reached out and grabbed an arrow that flew past her. She turned the arrow and threw it, causing it to collide with the other arrows.

This scene shocked everyone.

How strong was Chu Qingzhi’s arm to be able to do this?

In his shock, the man shot three arrows at Chu Qingzhi in a row. The men in black also took out stronger crossbows and shot.

Tang Jinghong suddenly flew towards Chu Qingzhi and hugged her. After he spun around to protect Chu Qingzhi in his arms, an arrow pierced his back.

Ads by Pubfuture

Chu Qingzhi felt Tang Jinghong’s body tremble slightly and a muffled groan sounded.

“Jinghong!” Chu Qingzhi’s heart ached. She hurriedly hugged Tang Jinghong and flew back while blocking the arrows with a tree branch.

At this moment, Tang Jinghong spat out a mouthful of blood.

His body was corroded by the poison and he had no strength at all. If not for Chu Qingzhi supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.

“Jinghong!” Chu Qingzhi accelerated and flew to the ground. Without asking, she knew that Jinghong had been poisoned. The other party came prepared and would definitely not use ordinary poison.

Shen Yufeng cursed, “How dare you? Not only did you use the crossbows that only soldiers can use, but you also used poison. Do you have no fear for the Imperial Court?”

The man said casually, “If I kill all of you, who would know that I’ve used a crossbow?!”

As he spoke, he shot another arrow at Shen Yufeng. “I’ll let you taste the power of the improved crossbow before you die!”

Shen Yufeng’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He wished he could cut the man into pieces. “I’m going to kill you!”

The sound of arrows piercing through flesh could be heard. Two soldiers were hit at the same time. After being hit by the arrows, their reaction speed slowed down and they were immediately hit by more arrows. Blood flowed from the corners of their mouths as they slowly fell to the ground. “General, you have to live and avenge us!”

Tang Jinghong opened his eyes weakly and looked at the soldiers. His eyes were filled with pain. They were all brothers who had gone through thick and thin with him. “If I can make it out this time, I will definitely avenge you!”

Chu Qingzhi placed Tang Jinghong on the rock and used her spiritual power to defend. Her spiritual power formed a transparent barrier around her and Tang Jinghong. Once the arrows hit the barrier, they would automatically be deflected to the sides.

While defending, she looked up at the people on the canyon. No, if this continued, they would definitely be wiped out!

“Pfft!” Another soldier fell.

Ads by Pubfuture

“Pfft!” Yuan Hongjun was also hit by a heavy arrow. “It hurts!”

Chu Qingzhi took out the flute and activated all her remaining spiritual power to play a sharp tune.

The tune was so ear-piercing that it hurt the eardrums.

If the previous tune was like a gentle breeze and drizzle, this time, it was like a storm.

If not for the fact that she had used too much spiritual power to control the snake just now, she would have killed these people in an instant!

When the man saw Chu Qingzhi take out the flute again, he had a bad feeling and immediately ordered, “Kill Chu Qingzhi first.”

Immediately, all the arrows flew towards Chu Qingzhi.

“Qingzhi!” In a moment of desperation, Tang Jinghong spat out another mouthful of blood and fainted.

The sharp tune flew into the distance. Not long after, the sound of wild beasts running could be heard from the forest. It was accompanied by low roars that made people shudder.

Those men in black were mortals. How could they not be afraid? “Master, what’s going on?”

The man turned around and saw a group of wolves, tigers, and black bears running in their direction. Their eyes were red and they were aggressive.

A trace of fear flashed across the man’s eyes as he said hurriedly, “Shoot them, shoot them!”

Immediately, most of the men in black aimed their crossbows at the beasts.

However, wild beasts were much stronger than humans. Even if they were poisoned, they wouldn’t feel the effect of the poison so early and were still charging forward.

Soon, the men in black were hit and fell from the canyon one after another.

The canyon was at least 500 meters tall. The rocks at the bottom were craggy. If they fell, they would be finished.

While the men in black were dealing with the wild beasts, the pressure on Shen Yufeng’s side decreased a lot. His hand that was holding the sword was already extremely sore.

This time, he could finally catch his breath.

The wild beasts were very irritable. Coupled with the fact that they were attacked, they were even more ferocious. They were determined to die with the men in black.

With the help of the beast army, in ten minutes, all the men in black were either bitten to death or fell to the bottom of the canyon. It was unknown if they were dead or alive..

Chapter 145: Taking Off Clothes to Get Treated

Chu Qingzhi’s face was pale. As she played the tune, the spiritual power in her body decreased. In the end, it was completely exhausted. The flute in her hand dissipated and she knelt on one knee.

As the tune stopped, the wild beasts recovered and ran back. The canyon gradually quietened down, leaving only the thick smell of blood.

After a while, Chu Qingzhi regained some strength and turned to look at Tang Jinghong.

Tang Jinghong was unconscious, leaning against the tree trunk. His face was pale, and his lips were purple.

“General!” Shen Yufeng crawled over in fear. “Miss Chu, you must save General.” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Of course I’ll save him.” Chu Qingzhi checked Tang Jinghong’s pulse and immediately frowned. This poison was too troublesome.

She turned her face to Yuan Hongjun, thinking to herself that he should have medicine on him, so she walked over.

She found five bottles of medicine on Yuan Hongjun’s body. Four were poisons and one was an antidote.

She frowned and thought for a moment. Then, she poured out all four poisons, ground them into powder, and mixed them again. She mixed them into a poison that could temporarily suppress the poison in Tang Jinghong and the others’ bodies. She prepared to fight poison with poison.

She fed the medicine to Tang Jinghong and Yuan Hongjun. The other three soldiers and Gui Yuzhou were already dead.

Shen Yufeng sat against the tree behind Tang Jinghong and looked at the dead soldiers. His eyes suddenly revealed scary ferociousness.

He got up and staggered towards the men in black.

He checked them one by one. When he saw that there were still survivors, he stabbed them in the heart and made sure they died.

Chu Qingzhi glanced at him and didn’t say anything. She quietly waited for Tang Jinghong to wake up.

The symptoms of poisoning on Tang Jinghong’s face slowly faded. His long eyelashes fluttered and he opened his eyes.

Chu Qingzhi’s eyes lit up when she saw him wake up. “Jinghong.”

Tang Jinghong pulled Chu Qingzhi into his arms with lingering fear. “Qingzhi.”

Chu Qingzhi relaxed in Tang Jinghong’s arms and smiled. “Jinghong, I’ve suppressed the poison in your body for the time being. You’re fine.”

Tang Jinghong didn’t know what to say. If not for Qingzhi, they would definitely have been wiped out today. “Qingzhi, are you injured?”

Chu Qingzhi said softly, “I’m fine.”

Tang Jinghong let go of Chu Qingzhi. “Let’s go and see who they are.”

Chu Qingzhi nodded.

Tang Jinghong stood up with Chu Qingzhi’s help and went to check the soldiers first.

He squatted down and reached out to wipe the blood off the dead soldiers’ faces, his heart aching. “I will avenge you!”

On the other side, Yuan Hongjun fell to the ground beside Gui Yuzhou. His eyes were wet. “I promised to bring you to eat meat. I didn’t expect you to die here. I’m sorry. I’ve harmed you.”

Tang Jinghong patted Yuan Hongjun’s shoulder. “It’s not your fault. It’s those people’s fault!”

Yuan Hongjun looked up with red eyes. The young man was like an injured little cub. “Brother Tang, I must bring the culprit to justice!”

Tang Jinghong’s voice was cold. “Let’s go together.”

The three of them walked towards the leader of the men in black.

When they got closer, Chu Qingzhi pulled off the man’s mask. “Who is he?”

Tang Jinghong searched the man’s body and took out a token from his clothes. He looked at it. “He is Xia Shuqiang, a level-A assassin under Wan Zhilin. He’s violent by nature and especially likes to torture people.”

Chu Qingzhi didn’t like to torture people. It was too cruel. “Then since he’s dead, it can be considered revenge for the people he tortured.”

“Yes.” Tang Jinghong looked at Shen Yufeng, who was stabbing the dead assassins. “Yufeng, go and inform An Changfeng and get him to bring troops over to clean up this place.”

“Yes, General.” Shen Yufeng nodded. Although he was still very angry and sad, he immediately went to carry out Tang Jinghong’s orders.

Chu Qingzhi looked at the broken arrow on Tang Jinghong’s back.

Without medicine now, she didn’t dare to pull out the arrow. If he lost too much blood, Tang Jinghong would die. “Jinghong, after your injuries are treated, we’ll go to the capital.”

Tang Jinghong was slightly puzzled. “Why are we going to the capital?”

A sharp glint flashed across Chu Qingzhi’s eyes. “Help the emperor pray for rain!”

The Lord of the Northern Border had hurt Tang Jinghong. She wouldn’t let this matter rest just like that. Didn’t the Lord of the Northern Border want to use the drought to achieve his plan? She would definitely not let him have his way!

Tang Jinghong was shocked. He stared at Chu Qingzhi as if he had discovered something new. “Qingzhi, you know how to pray for rain?”

Chu Qingzhi raised her eyebrows. “I can try.”

Tang Jinghong said quickly, “Qingzhi, let’s go to An Changfeng’s camp to treat the wounds.”

“Okay.”

Tang Jinghong waved at Yuan Hongjun. “Hongjun, let’s go.” He couldn’t leave Yuan Hongjun here alone. What if there were more assassins?

Yuan Hongjun looked at the mess and corpses all over the canyon. He walked over to meet Tang Jinghong and left together.

If they rode a horse for two hours, they would be able to reach the camp from the canyon. If they walked, it would take at least half a day.

However, the few of them were very lucky. After walking out of the canyon, they saw a county city in the distance.

They changed directions and headed towards the county.

After entering the county city, they went straight to the medical center.

The people in the medical center were frightened when they saw that they were covered in blood. However, they knew that these were people with extraordinary status and didn’t dare to be negligent.

Chu Qingzhi helped Tang Jinghong to sit on the bed in the medical center. “I’ll treat your wound immediately. It’s a little painful. Bear with it.”

Tang Jinghong’s lips were pale and he was covered in cold sweat. “Bring it on.”

Chu Qingzhi reached out to untie Tang Jinghong’s belt, but in the next second, her hand was pressed down. Tang Jinghong coughed to hide his embarrassment. “Qingzhi, I’ll do it myself.”

Chu Qingzhi couldn’t help but chuckle. “Okay.”

Tang Jinghong endured the pain in his back and slowly unbuttoned his clothes.

His skin was a healthy wheat color. His chest muscles and abdominal muscles were distinct and looked very beautiful.

However, there were many hideous scars on his chest and back. There were knife wounds and arrow wounds. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot.

At this moment, there was an arrow stuck in his back. The flesh around it was lacerated and blood kept oozing out.

Tang Jinghong felt very uncomfortable. This was the first time he had taken off his clothes in front of a woman. Although it was to treat his wound, he was really embarrassed and his body could not help but tense up.

Chu Qingzhi admired Tang Jinghong’s good body and then moved behind him.

She pressed a hand on his back and injected some of her spiritual power into Tang Jinghong’s body, condensing it on the arrow head. After the spiritual power wrapped around the arrow, she gently patted Tang Jinghong’s back. The arrow was gently forced out of his body and fell to the ground.

Tang Jinghong grunted in pain.

Chu Qingzhi hurriedly focused her spiritual energy on the wound to let it scab over quicker.

However, the spiritual power she recovered was limited and could only help Tang Jinghong recover half of his wound.

Then, she bandaged Tang Jinghong’s wound. During this period, they inevitably touched each other’s skin. The innocent general did not dare to look up, and his handsome face was slightly red..
