Chapter 152 Open the door

Situ Jing was shocked and woke up completely in an instant.

It turned out that the smoke just now did not make people completely unconscious, but made them fall into a state close to an illusion, making it impossible to distinguish between friend and foe.

The red-haired, blue-eyed ghost in the illusion was the Golden-faced Imperial Censor, and the thing the ghost clawed at his cheek and stuffed into his mouth must have been the medicine the Golden-faced Imperial Censor had given him...

And myself...

Situ Jing hurried forward and supported Lu Qing, who was shaking and about to fall down. He then pulled his sword out of the disciple's chest. While protecting Lu Qing, he looked around to confirm the situation.

Fortunately, there was no one around them at the moment, but two or three feet away, there were people wrestling and fighting with each other, obviously also haunted by the illusion.

"How are you? Can you hold on?" Situ Jing didn't bother to express his guilt to Lu Qing at this moment. He looked at the location of the bloodstain and asked in a low voice.

"I won't die for the time being..." Lu Qing's voice lacked its usual strength and sounded a bit forced.

He still had fake skin on his face, so his complexion couldn't be seen, but the blood from his chest was still oozing out, getting bigger and bigger, which was frightening to see.

Situ Jing tore his robe into strips and helped Lu Qing to strangle his chest. He then rolled the remaining cloth into a ball and pressed it on his chest to temporarily slow down the bleeding.

After a while, someone approached them. His eyes looked dazed, but his movements were not slow.

Situ Jing had no choice but to place Lu Qing on the ground and stand guard nearby. If any Imperial Guards soldiers approached them, Situ Jing would try to capture them, knock them unconscious, and throw them aside. If any of the "expert's" followers were there, he would stab them with his sword without hesitation.

For a moment, no one could get close to him and Lu Qing except that they were busy.

Lu Qing lay on the ground weakly, his eyes always paying attention to everything around him. His lips were getting paler and paler, but he still forced himself to open his eyelids and look around.

I don't know how long it took, but the chaotic sounds of fighting all around were now a little more noisy, but the noise seemed to be more organized. There was not only the sound of weapons colliding, not only the messy and urgent footsteps, but also the shouts of people responding to each other.

Situ Jing tightened his grip on the sword, held his breath, and stared in the direction where the sound came from.

In the darkness, several people were walking towards this side quickly, fighting with people they met on the way. They stopped and started, and someone could be heard shouting as they walked: "Sir! General Situ!"

When Situ Jing heard someone calling their names, he was slightly stunned. He was not familiar with the voice and it was not from someone around him.

He didn't know whether the person who came was a friend or an enemy, or whether he was one of the "master's" men pretending to be someone else and deliberately wanting to expose their position. So he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but didn't respond immediately.

However, Lu Qing could tell that the sound was clearly coming from the talisman.

He wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't even muster the breath to shout, so he struggled to raise one hand and pulled the back of Situ Jing's robe.

Situ Jing understood what he meant and quickly responded for him: "We are here!"

His voice was loud enough for the other side to hear clearly, and his pace quickened. He seemed to encounter another obstacle halfway. He heard a "Hey—ah!" followed by the sound of a heavy object being thrown and landing. Then, a burly man in a dark suit and a bronze mask appeared, leading the way, followed by several others.

Lu Qing saw the talisman in the front at a glance, and his heart felt a little relieved. When he saw the figure wearing a personal soldier's robe behind the talisman running towards him quickly and jumping in front of him, he finally felt at ease, breathed a sigh of relief, and fell into darkness.

When Zhu Yu rushed over, Lu Qing had already lost consciousness.

Just now, the "expert" cheated and released the drug. Fortunately, Lu Qing brought with him two awakening pills given by Yan Daoxin that could counteract any drug. Zhu Yu was about to become confused when he stuffed one into his mouth and he immediately woke up.

She didn't even have time to wonder why the smoke had no effect on Lu Qing, and was pulled outside the crowd by Lu Qing in the chaos.

"That group used smoke to try to escape during the chaos, but once the smoke was released, everyone around them was bewitched and they were also held back, so there was no way they could get away quickly." Lu Qing said to Zhu Yu solemnly, "I still have to go deliver medicine to Situ Jing. You have to open the camp gate as quickly as possible and let the people outside in.

If that group gets there first, the people outside might get caught as well."

Zhu Yu did not dare to delay any longer and immediately ran towards the camp gate.

She hadn't run so fast for a long time. She felt like her lungs were about to explode in her chest, and all she could hear was the whistling wind in her ears.

When she finally opened the camp gate before the group of thieves and let the people outside in, she immediately returned to look for Lu Qing.

Fu Lu and Yan Daoxin also followed Zhu Yu closely, helping her deal with the unconscious imperial guards along the way.

But she never expected that when she found Lu Qing, his clothes on the chest were soaked with blood and he was lying unconscious on the ground.

Zhu Yu felt that his heart, which had been pounding just now, suddenly stopped beating.

She grabbed Lu Qing's wrist and felt his pulse. The pulse was so weak that it seemed like a tremor, and it was impossible to detect it without careful feeling.

Zhu Yu looked up at Situ Jing, wanting to ask him how Lu Qing was injured, but when their eyes met, Situ Jing immediately looked away in embarrassment, not daring to look him in the eye.

Zhu Yu immediately had the answer in his mind.

"Do you have any golden medicine?" Zhu Yu asked Yan Daoxin in a trembling voice.

Yan Daoxin hadn't expected Lu Qing to be injured, and was still a little dazed. When Zhu Yu asked him, he quickly took something out of his pocket and took out two small porcelain bottles and handed them over: "These two, one to stop bleeding and the other to promote tissue growth, give them to him if you can use them!
Unfortunately, this isn’t a convenient place to check right now…”

After hearing this, Situ Jing finally came to his senses and hurriedly said to Zhu Yu, "Take him to my tent! I'll be in charge here!"

Yan Daoxin nodded and patted the talisman: "Put your master on your back and go with your family historian! General Situ and I are outside, so we can help those who have been poisoned by the smoke!"

Fu Lu did not dare to delay and hurriedly and carefully carried Lu Qing on his back. Under the leadership of Zhu Yu, he quickly bypassed the unconscious soldiers around him and rushed towards Situ Jing's tent.
