sister-in-law

Chapter 86
The vast night is dark and cold.

A group of ten or so people, with horses bound hooves and chewing mouths, quietly approached Qingquan County.

In the quiet night, everything is silent, and Qingquan County is like a giant beast crouching alone, waiting for the final counterattack.

It was even darker above the city gate, as if there was no smoke at all.In fact, there were still people guarding above, but they were afraid that the light would become a target for barbarians, so they extinguished the lights.

In the injury and disease station not far from the city gate, Su Ruoli personally fed Li Fu'an the soup, wiped off the medicine juice overflowing from the corners of his lips, took his pulse, saw that everything was fine, and then sat down in peace. Take a nap on the smoke cage on the floor.

The four corners of the room are lit with charcoal braziers, even though the lights are not lit, things can be seen vaguely.

Li Fu'an has passed out since he pulled out the arrow, his blood-losed face was pale and feeble, which made Su Ruo's heart feel more guilty.

It's all because she was too careless at the time, screaming and jumping in such a dangerous place.If this arrow hits her, she doesn't know if she can survive.

Fortunately, under her meticulous care, Li Fu'an did not develop a high fever, which is really a blessing in misfortune.

In this day and age, without antibiotics, it is really amazing to be able to avoid infection and fever.

If it wasn't for her unique secret recipe - to give this magistrate the kind of disgusting green hairy thing, maybe he would have a hard time getting through this test, right?

In any case, she should do her best to save his life.After all, he was hurt because of her.

Su Ruoli, who took care of Li Fu'an all day and all night, leaned on the smoke cage and wanted to take a nap, but who knew that after a while, she let out even breathing sounds.

She was so tired, she couldn't eat or sleep these past two days, she couldn't sleep well, her mind was full of how to save people and how to make explosives, how could she ever be peaceful for a while?
Now, she couldn't hold it anymore, curled up her thin body, leaned against the wall, and slept soundly!
The room was as warm as spring, and she stretched out more and more.

When Li Fu'an woke up, he felt pain all over his body, as if he was about to grin open, wishing to split all the bones in his body one by one.

The throat was on fire, and it was so swollen that it looked like a big steamed bun was stuck there, and it was difficult to breathe.

He tilted his head with difficulty, opened his heavy eyelids, and saw a small figure curled up in the corner of the wall amidst the flickering light in the room.

At this moment, the man's hair was in a loose bun, his eyebrows were gentle, and the corner of his mouth was smiling. He was sitting crookedly on the smoker cage, sleeping soundly.

Originally, Li Fu'an's throat was so dry that he wanted to open his mouth to ask for water, but he swallowed the words in his throat all at once.

She must be exhausted, right?Such a young girl has been busy for three or four days, and she is more devoted than the county magistrate. The one who pulled out the arrow and stitched up his wound yesterday, stayed up all night, and the hard-working person should have collapsed from exhaustion.

He'd better not disturb her and let her sleep well.

Sighing, he turned around with difficulty, looking at her childish face in the flickering light for a moment.

What kind of woman is this?Being brought to court by her mother-in-law was calm and composed, but she was able to turn the tide and bring down her mother-in-law and that damned witness.

When the county was under siege, she was not like ordinary women. She not only took care of her uncle and sister-in-law, but also dared to run to the street, recommending herself as a doctor, and running around among a group of old men who were injured or ill.

For the safety of the county, he personally prepared the powerful thing called "dynamite", which blew up the barbarian's trebuchet into a pile of fragments, and made the barbarians flee in embarrassment, not daring to approach the city gate.

What kind of strange woman is this little girl?
Li Fu'an looked at the innocent face that fell asleep, and at the same time thought about what happened to this little girl in the past few days.The more I thought about it, the more interesting it became, and an intoxicating smile bloomed on the corner of my lips unconsciously!
At this time, more than ten miles away from the city gate, the pedestrian was still walking quietly.

The pitch-black night covered their figures and blocked the sight of the barbarians from finding them.

When they were only three or four miles away from Qingquan County, when they saw the tall and dark city gate tower in front of them, they didn't know which horse accompanying them suddenly let out a snort.

Immediately, there were voices of shouting and asking questions all around, and it was impossible to understand. It was clearly not the accent of Dazhou people.

It turned out that the Hu people had always coveted Qingquan County, even late at night, there were people ambushing nearby, for fear that someone in Qingquan County would go out and report for help.

The team leader here is a lieutenant general under Li Congwu's command. He was about to answer loudly, but Gu Zhang covered his mouth, "Don't make a sound, this is a barbarian!"

The deputy general glared at Gu Zhang with dissatisfaction. This kid seemed to be getting more and more courageous. Relying on the general's love for him, he even ignored him as a deputy general, and dared to stretch out his dirty hand to overtake him Ju covered his mouth, he really thought he was a character.

But staring back and forth, the lieutenant still didn't dare to speak.He also knew in his heart that if the truth was revealed, the dozen or so of him might not be able to go back.

It's just that it's one thing for him to know, but it's another thing for Gu Zhang to tell him.As a lieutenant general, he felt that his dignity had been trampled to the ground by Gu Zhang.

When he was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, Gu Zhang asked in a low voice in the crowd, "Is there anyone here who can speak nonsense? Even a sentence or two is fine?"

Anyway, let's talk about it later.

The deputy general couldn't help being furious, Gu Zhang is really getting more and more outrageous, he dares to be the master himself, how can he be regarded as the deputy general?

Someone in the crowd responded in a low voice, "I can say a few words. When I was young, I used to sell fur with my father on the border of the Hu people, and I learned a few words."

"Great, then listen to what they say, and hurry back and say that we are also sent by the commander to spy on the military situation!" Anyway, the Hu people also call the leader "the commander", so let's talk about sending these people away.

The lieutenant hated Gu Zhang even more, this kid obviously didn't take him to heart, and wanted to take over as his substitute, didn't he?

Well, if you are capable, show it to us.

He hummed coldly in his heart, and began to think about how to make this kid suffer later.

The soldier who could speak Hu language also responded with a few words, and the Hu people over there fell silent, as if they really thought they were their own.

Gu Zhang pulled the horse's rein at this time, and said in a low voice, "Captain, let's hurry up while this is the time?"

As soon as the words were finished, the deputy general snorted coldly, "Aren't you very capable, kid? What kind of bird are you afraid of?"

He yelled these words in a rough and loud voice on purpose, so that the barbarians on the opposite side would yell out loudly when they heard it, and immediately lit the torch and rushed towards him.

In the light of the blazing torch, Gu Zhang could clearly see the smug smile on the lieutenant general's face.

He immediately understood everything, pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and growled, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Don't you know that doing this will kill us all here?"

"Really? That's not necessarily the case!" The general looked confident, and waved his hand to the dozen or so people behind him, "Gu Zhang stay and block the barbarians, and the rest follow me to Qingquan County!"

Gu Zhang was stunned for a moment, there were more than a hundred barbarians on the opposite side, this old boy, you just want him to die here, right?

He gritted his teeth and made a crisp sound when his upper and lower teeth collided. He blinked and asked slowly, "Why did you do this?"

The lieutenant laughed and laughed, "Why? Is there a reason for this? Military orders are hard to disobey. Do you dare to disobey them?"

Yes, he was sure that Gu Zhang would not dare to disobey the military order, so he gave the death order.There are so many barbarians, even if this kid has the ability to reach the sky, it is difficult to fly.

Someone around him hesitated, "Captain, we can't just leave Gu Zhang alone? He is someone who is highly valued by the commander!" Although he is only a personal follower of the commander, he can go from being killed to being trusted. I'm afraid the poor boy here is capable of doing things.What's more, fellow-robe friendship, you can't just leave this person to die in vain.

"Oh?" The deputy general glanced at the man who pleaded for Gu Zhang, "You can't bear it? If that's the case, you should stay with him." I don't believe that there are still people who foolishly stay to die when their lives are at stake. !

Sure enough, the man lowered his head and dared not say anything.

There was a weird sneer on the corner of the lieutenant general's mouth. Seeing that the barbarians had rushed up, he waved his hand, and the ten or so riders on his side galloped away like wind and clouds.

"Captain, what if the general asks?" A person was still a little scared and asked nervously.

"If you want to survive, just listen to it, and say that the boy disobeyed the military order, causing barbarians to be shot." The lieutenant calmly ordered and threatened, without taking human life seriously at all.

Looking at the backs of the group of speeding away, Gu Zhang smiled coldly.Sure enough, he still can't pretend to be a good person at any time. Just now, he just didn't want his side to be exposed, but he didn't expect to let the lieutenant general hate him.

Forget it, the most indispensable thing in the world is a villain, just treat it as being bitten by a dog.

However, seeing that they arrived in Qingquan County, they really hoped to meet Li'er secretly in a few days, and I'm afraid it won't happen.

Forget it, the man died well, and he didn't humiliate the ancestors of the Gu family.

Gu Zhang rode on horseback, stretched his bow and set up an arrow, with the aura of being a man who is in charge of a man.

Today is just a good time to try his archery skills. In the past, the archery skills that were only used for hunting can be used tonight.

Looking coldly at the barbarians swarming towards him like a tide, he twisted his waist to concentrate, and shot an arrow steadily with his wrist.

The arrow flew like a shooting star, and flew towards the barbarian who was riding a tall horse and looked like a high-ranking official.

It was said in military books that "capturing the thief first captures the king." Although he hadn't read many military books, the actual hunting made him know that this could also be applied to warfare.

The black-faced man in a cloak and armor on the opposite side was sitting on a tall horse with his head held high. He never thought that such a lonely young man would have the courage to face more than a hundred barbarians.

Then, the arrow pierced through the armor and pierced his chest.

He never imagined that his armor, which was made of fine steel, followed him in hundreds of battles, and protected him almost without injury, how could it be pierced by the arrow of the boy opposite?

He couldn't figure it out, and in fact, he didn't have any chance to solve it.Because his body was tilted, he fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.
