There are three problems that need to be overcome to break through. One is how to bring Chen Liqiu, who is already on the verge of coma, to the city wall that is more than five feet high. The other is how to deal with the archers on the city wall. The third is that there is an open area of ​​three miles outside the city wall.

, there is no cover in these three miles of open area. Once the whereabouts are exposed, the city defenders will immediately send out cavalry to pursue them.

While he was observing and thinking, Chen Liqiu said weakly, "Lao Wu, please let me down. I have no regrets anymore."

Without answering or hesitating, he left his hiding place and rushed towards the city wall. There was only one way to die if he stayed in the city. Rush out, maybe there is still a chance of survival.

He did not carry Chen Liqiu on his back to climb the city wall. The city wall in Chang'an was more than five feet high. It was difficult for him to climb it alone, let alone carrying Chen Liqiu on his back. After approaching the city wall, he grabbed Chen Liqiu's hands sideways and spun on the spot.

Gathering his strength, he turned around three times and looked at the right opportunity to throw Chen Liqiu towards the top of the city wall.

After throwing Chen Liqiu away, he immediately rushed forward, jumped into the air, grabbed hold of the city wall with his hands, and quickly jumped onto the city wall.

Seeing that Chen Liqiu had fallen to the outside of the city wall, he didn't waste a moment, stepped on the ground and used his strength to rush out, grabbed Chen Liqiu from mid-air and clamped him under his arm, and ran away after landing.

Because he moved too fast, it was only then that the defenders on the wall noticed that he had escaped and hurriedly shouted the alarm. At the same time, the archers carrying bows and arrows began to fire.

The reason why they held Chen Liqiu between them instead of carrying him on their backs was because of the archers on the wall. If Chen Liqiu was carried on his back and arrows were shot from behind, Chen Liqiu would bear the brunt.

At this time, he had been completely exposed to the eyes of the defenders. The only thing he could rely on was chasing the wind ghost steps. The ghost steps chasing the wind were weird and erratic, making it difficult for the archers on the city wall to aim.

The arrow quickly flew from the city wall and landed at the side with the sound of whistling and harsh wind. He did not dodge and used his body skills to move forward with all his strength. At this time, whether the arrow was hit or not depended on luck, because while running wildly, there was no trace of arrows.

Unable to prevent dodge.

The first wave of arrows shot only a few arrows, but the second wave of arrows shot a shower of arrows. This is Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city are all elites of the imperial court.

Both the reaction speed and the force with which the bow is fired are extraordinary and comparable to those of ordinary soldiers.

At this time, what was heard in the ears was no longer the whistling of the wind, but the buzzing sound like a swarm of bees. It was absolutely impossible to avoid this hail of arrows, because the archers were shooting in a general range.

He did not aim deliberately, relying on the fact that there were many arrows, enough to cover the large area where he was currently.

At the critical moment of life and death, he no longer relied on luck. Instead, he quickly turned around and ran in the opposite direction before the arrows fell.

Because he is running forward, considering that it takes time for arrows to move in the air, archers will shoot arrows in front of him when they draw their bows. No one would have thought that he would suddenly move in the opposite direction and turn around.

So quickly, with the vibration and buzzing sound of the arrows hitting the ground, all the second batch of arrows failed.

When the arrows landed, they turned and moved south again. The dense arrows on the ground made him terrified. Thanks to his timely response, otherwise, the two of them would have been shot into a hornet's nest.

After shooting the arrow, the archer needs to pick up the arrow again and fire the bow. It also takes a certain amount of time for the arrow to fly from the city wall. This time is his last chance to escape. If he cannot escape the range of the bow during this period, he will still be unable to escape.

The fate of a thousand arrows piercing the heart.

At the critical moment of life and death, potential explodes, with Chen Liqiu galloping between them

Xiangnan, leaving the third wave of arrows behind.

Just when he was secretly feeling lucky and relieved, he was suddenly hit by an arrow in his left shoulder. Not only did this arrow come without any warning, it was also extremely powerful and shot directly through his shoulder. The arrow was in front and the tail was in the back.

Such a huge force directly knocked him to the ground. After he fell, he tilted his head and squinted, and saw that the arrow hit by his left shoulder had no feathers. The arrow feathers are used to balance the arrows, and the arrow without feathers was leaving the string.

There is no sound afterwards, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to control the accuracy.

Experts, there are experts among officers and soldiers.

At the critical moment, he didn't even think too much, he picked up Chen Liqiu in his arms and continued to run forward.

He hadn't run far when an arrow flew past his left neck and penetrated into the ground in front of him. A quick glance revealed that it was still a featherless arrow.

Although he was not hit by another arrow, he was still very scared. There were experts among the officers and soldiers. If the previous arrow had missed half an inch to the right, he would have been hit by the arrow and died by now.

Since he had already run out of the range of the bow and arrow, the expert archer did not release any more arrows. However, the crisis was not resolved because there was a heavy sound of horse hooves behind him.

Hearing the sound, he turned around and saw a group of cavalry reining in their horses and chasing after them from the city gate.

At this time, he was still two miles away from the woods to the south. He quickly calculated that there was no hope of escaping into the woods before the cavalry caught up.

He did not feel fear at this moment, nor did he regret not abandoning Chen Liqiu. If Chen Liqiu and others had not arrived in time that day, he and Lao Huang would have been beaten to death by the villagers, and the debt of gratitude must always be repaid.

Just when he was despairing, a black shadow suddenly burst out of the woods in the south. He looked closely and saw that if it wasn't Mr. Black, who could it be?

Seemingly knowing that his master was in danger, the black man rushed forward at full speed.

Seeing how understanding the human nature of Young Master Hei was, I was very moved. Young Master Hei was still a minor pony, but he actually knew how to be a savior in times of crisis.

Not long after Mr. Hei rushed out of the woods, several war horses also rushed out of the woods. There were five war horses in total, one was empty and the other four were ridden.

The four people on the horse were four of the twelve loyal and brave captains. It turned out that after they left the city last night, they did not all go south, but four of them were left outside the city to wait for their response.

There were no fewer than forty or fifty cavalrymen chasing behind them. Facing an enemy that was ten times their own, the four loyal and brave captains showed no fear. They shook their reins to urge their horses and raised their hands to draw their swords.

The pursuers were galloping south from a mile away, and the reinforcements were rushing north from two miles away. They endured the severe pain in their left shoulders and rushed south with Chen Liqiu in their arms. After a while, they finally caught up with Mr. Hei before the pursuers and immediately caught up with Mr. Hei.

Chen Liqiu fell on Young Master Hei's back. Young Master Hei had a rein, but he didn't need the reins at all, so he took off the reins and tied Chen Liqiu to Young Master Hei's back in a panic.

At this moment, four loyal and brave captains arrived. They left the flight attendant horses behind and then shook their reins and rushed towards the pursuers, "Take the general away quickly!"

Seeing the four people rushing towards the enemy group resolutely, he knew what was waiting for them, but his ability was limited and he couldn't save them. The only thing he could do was to save Chen Liqiu and let them die a worthy death.

He got on his horse and hurried south, with Mr. Hei following closely behind him with Chen Liqiu on his back.

Chen Liqiu was in a daze at this time, but he was still conscious and had the intention to turn his head and look back, but he was powerless.

Seeing this situation, Chen Liqiu knew that he wanted to see who the four people were who were rushing towards the enemy group, so he hurriedly said, "They are Tu Mao, Cao Chen, Xu Xiang, and Tan Huaiqing."

Hearing the words, Chen Liqiu's nose twitched, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.

Without looking back, he shook the reins frequently and urged the horse to run wildly. The roars and shouts coming from behind became farther and farther away, and finally disappeared, until he rushed into the woods with no pursuers behind him.

After running south for several miles, he turned onto the westbound fork. His destination was northwest of Chang'an. He didn't know how far away the valley he lived was from Chang'an, but Chang'an was in Yuzhou, and the valley he lived in that day should be in Yongzhou.

Within the territory, the distance between the two places should not be very far.

Because we were walking on small roads and there were no transfer stations, after running three hundred miles in one breath, the horse we were riding on finally foamed at the mouth, stumbled and fell to the ground, and fell off the horse. We took the opportunity to check Chen Liqiu's injury. Chen Liqiu had fainted at this time.

After death, fortunately, he used Xuanyin Qi to delay the generation of Qi and blood. Although the situation was not optimistic, he would not die in a short time.

The arrow he had hit earlier was still stuck in his left shoulder. He wanted to pull the arrow out, but he was worried that excessive blood loss would lead to collapse and fatigue. After weighing the situation, he decided not to treat the wound first and wait until he got to the field to worry about it.

Without a mount, I could only urge Chai Feng Guibu to rush on the road. At noon, I finally entered the main road and found the inn. After grabbing the horse, I was able to ride on the road. .??.

The horses were changed twice in the middle of the journey. Each time the horses were changed, Chen Liqiu would be given vitality with Xuanyin Qi. By late afternoon, he had entered Yongzhou territory.

Although Young Master Black can run long distances, he is still young, and even though he has the physical strength to keep up, the soles of his hoofs are not as hard as those of an adult horse. By this time, all four soles of his hoofs have been worn through, and blood drips while running.

It’s so unbearable but there’s nothing I can do about it.

At midnight in the afternoon, Chen Liqiu finally arrived at the valley where he lived before. At this time, Chen Liqiu was already furious and his life was hanging by a thread. Without taking a breath, he carried him to find the big tree where he had hidden the elixir.

There are five elixirs hidden in the tree, including a detoxifying golden elixir, a detoxifying silver elixir, a healing golden elixir, a healing silver elixir and a healing silver elixir.

The poison Chen Liqiu suffered from was extremely overbearing, invading the body externally and injuring the five internal organs internally, and the delay was too long. It had already entered the heart. He was worried that the silver elixir was not enough to detoxify, so he directly gave him the detoxification golden elixir.

After feeding Chen Liqiu the detoxifying golden elixir, he carried Chen Liqiu to the pond, drank a little water, and then activated the red Yang spiritual energy to revive his meridians, heart and lungs.

Bloodletting is also essential to speed up detoxification. Chen Liqiu's Zhu Xuan Sword is a soft sword and he doesn't know how to use it, so he uses the Hanyue Sword taken from the tree to make shallow wounds on Chen Liqiu's wrists and ankles, allowing the poisonous blood to slowly flow out.

.

After doing this, I started to deal with my own arrow wound. Before I started, I found some hemostatic herbs nearby. After smashing them, I was about to pull out the arrow. Suddenly I thought that the arrow in my left shoulder might leave consequences. If someone checks it in the future.

, the secret is bound to be exposed, and the medication must be carefully considered to ensure that no scars are left.

Thinking of this, I took the trouble to find three herbs: Burnet Burnet, Polygonum Custard, and Lithospermum. These three herbs have miraculous effects in promoting muscle growth and removing scars.

When he was ready, he started to pull out the arrow. Since the arrow had no feathers, he mustered up the courage and gritted his teeth and pulled the arrow.

The leader pulled out the arrow from the front.

When the arrow was pulled out, the wound suddenly started to bleed. He quickly covered it with the herbs prepared in advance and bandaged it by biting the cloth strip.

The detoxification elixir is well-deserved. Chen Liqiu's complexion returned to normal within half a stick of incense. After one stick of incense, the remaining poison was cleared away. Chen Liqiu woke up from a cough, stood up from the ground, bent down and spit out a few mouthfuls of smelly and thick phlegm.

After getting rid of the poison and feeling calmer, Chen Liqiu walked to the pool and rinsed his mouth with water. He noticed that there was hardened blood on his face, so he rinsed his face with water again.

Already exhausted from the long-distance attack, he was bleeding profusely when he pulled out the arrow, and his spirit was listless. When he saw Chen Liqiu regaining consciousness, he just looked at him and did not speak to him.

Chen Liqiu washed his face, sat down across from him, looked directly at him, and said nothing.

After a while, Chen Liqiu reached out and touched his head, "Zi Yu is still in the city, I have to rush back."

He handed over the remaining four pills and said, "This is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Liqiu interrupted him, "I don't want it, you keep it. I have to go back quickly. They must not think that I dare to return to Chang'an again. I promised Zi Yu that I would find her parents and my subordinates."

The troops have also been raised, and I have to go back as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation."

"Third Senior Brother, do you really want to rebel?" he asked.

Chen Liqiu didn't answer the question, so he took a few sips of water again, and then said, "There is still half a month left for the court competition. Don't rush back to Chang'an. You have to be careful in everything in the future and be on guard at all times."

nodded.

"The situation is urgent. I'm leaving right away. You can recover here." Chen Liqiu turned around and stepped forward.

He hurriedly stood up and followed, putting the healing golden elixir into Chen Liqiu's hand, "Third senior brother, this is a healing golden elixir. No matter how serious the injury is, it can heal quickly. There is only one of this.

Good luck collecting it."

"I told you, I don't want it." Chen Liqiu frowned and refused vigorously.

"You must bring it with you." He also put more force on his hands.
