Five kinds of medicine in another world

Chapter 79: The Imperial Reinforcements Are Destroyed

Night had just fallen and everything was silent.

Gu Shijiu got up and walked quickly towards the city wall.

As he walked, he muttered to himself:

"I hope I won't be late again this time..."

When he arrived at the top of the city wall, he found that he was the last one to arrive as expected.

The other soldiers had already taken their positions, ready for battle. When they saw Gu Shijiu arriving late, they all smiled and nodded at him, but no one spoke.

It was quiet outside the city, like a sleeping beast.

However, this silence made everyone feel particularly nervous.

They gripped their weapons tightly, stared with eyes wide open at the dark area outside the city, not daring to relax even a little.

As soon as Gu Shijiu climbed onto the city wall, he heard a familiar voice.

"Nineteen, you're here."

Zhao Hongling greeted them warmly.

"Sister Hongling, you guys came so early. I just got here."

Gu Shijiu also responded enthusiastically.

After all, Zhao Hongling was so beautiful, and Gu Shijiu felt much better just by greeting her.

"By the way, Nineteen, let me ask you something."

Zhao Hongling quietly approached Gu Shijiu.

"What's the matter? Ask Sister Hongling."

Zhao Hongling repeated the story Xiao Changtian told to Gu Shijiu during the day, and then asked:

"Nineteen, have you learned anything from this story?"

Gu Shijiu pondered for a moment, then continued:

"First of all, this story should be about the indifference of the common people. After all, the rich spent all their money, but in the end they got nothing. No one even gave them a meal."

"Secondly, this story also teaches people to have a backup plan. If the rich man had not spent all his money, he would not have ended up like this. You should help others within your ability, and you should also be a good person within your ability."

“Finally, does this story have another meaning: Heaven and Earth are unkind and treat the saints as straw dogs; saints are unkind and treat the people as straw dogs?”

After Gu Shijiu finished speaking, Zhao Hongling asked doubtfully:

"Nineteen, I understand the first two levels, but what about the last one?"

"The lives of so many people may just be a game played by God."

After Gu Shijiu finished speaking, Zhao Hongling looked at him with admiration and said:

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Zhao Hongling ran back to Xiao Changtian and Ye Yushi and started whispering.

After hearing what Zhao Hongling said, Xiao Changtian and Ye Yushi both showed looks of astonishment on their faces.

They never expected that Huang Li's seemingly simple little story actually contained such profound and numerous philosophies!

The most shocked among them was undoubtedly Xiao Changtian.

After all, based on his understanding of Teacher Huang Li's life and deeds, these principles are exactly the same as Teacher Huang Li's life!

Xiao Changtian is naturally not stupid.

He watched Zhao Hongling rushing over from Gu Nineteen, and he knew in his heart that these brilliant ideas must have come from Gu Nineteen.

At this point, Xiao Changtian couldn't help but feel even more admiration for Gu Shijiu.

You must know that Xiao Changtian is definitely not the kind of person who looks down on ordinary people.

You know, even his most respected teacher Huang Li was born into a commoner family!

As the saying goes, "Are kings, dukes, generals, and ministers of different races?" After figuring this out, Xiao Changtian smiled with relief, then nodded slightly to Gu Shijiu in a friendly manner.

Gu Shijiu stared at Xiao Changtian closely, and saw that the other party suddenly nodded at him. He immediately realized what had just happened.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But he soon recovered and gave Xiao Changtian the same friendly smile.

However, when he turned his gaze to Zhao Hongling beside him, his eyes became extremely gentle, as if they could melt all the ice in the world.

It contains endless pampering.

Just as Gu Shijiu was looking at Zhao Hongling, he suddenly heard a voice beside him.

"Zhenxie County guards, listen up! Hurry out of the city and line up to meet the enemy! The Spirit Shield Guards are ready to fight! The Hengdao Escort Agency and all the heroes, please do your best, but do not block the city gates to prevent people from entering or leaving!"

Kangtai roared at the crowd behind him at the top of his lungs, his resonant voice exploding in everyone's ears like thunder.

Gu Shijiu couldn't help but be shocked and quickly raised his head to look outside the city.

Sure enough, countless black mists appeared on the distant horizon and surged towards the city wall like a tide.

The black fog is so dense and seemingly endless, giving people a feeling of covering the sky and the sun.

In the blink of an eye, they were almost at the city gate.

Evil spirits are attacking the city.

"Nineteen, are we going down?"

Zhao Hongling came over and asked, followed by Xiao Changtian and Ye Yushi.

When Gu Shijiu looked around, he saw some martial artists had already rushed to the bottom of the city wall and were fighting with these "souls" and "spirits".

The two sides were fighting fiercely, and the Zhenxie County side was clearly in the upper hand.

Gu Shijiu observed the battle situation, shook his head slightly and said:

"Don't worry, there's no point in rushing out now. We don't even have a place to stand. Let's wait for the third-level evil spirit to show up or for them to be unable to hold on before we act."

The other three people thought this made sense, so they stopped and watched.

Just as Lin Zhong was bravely rushing down, he suddenly stopped when he heard what Gu Shijiu said.

Seeing this, Gu Shijiu smiled and introduced Lin Zhong:

"Come, come, let me introduce this to you. This is my good partner who has perfect rapport with me - Escort Lin Zhong."

Then, he introduced the three people beside him to Lin Zhong one by one.

"This is the chivalrous and fearless Miss Zhao Hongling; that is Xiao Changtian from the Xiao family; and this is Ye Yushi from the Ye family."

Lin Zhong and others all come from prominent families and have their own unique way of socializing.

In a short while, everyone was talking happily and became very familiar with each other.

Although the battle below was fierce, the evil spirit never produced a third-level "ghost", let alone a fourth-level "charm".

Kangtai and Dusha both looked solemn because they knew what the evil spirit was thinking.

Chu Ying stood beside him and murmured:

"There will be fun tomorrow. Tomorrow is August 15th."

Kangtai nodded solemnly.

On ordinary nights, the evil spirits would only increase their strength by 30%, but on August 15th of every year, their strength would double.

"Tomorrow is a hurdle. If we can get through it, the crisis in Zhenxie County can be resolved. If we can't get through it, Zhenxie County will be destroyed."

Du Sha also shook his head and said.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult..."

Kangtai looked bitter and shook his head.

"Kang County Magistrate, have you received any news? Can't you even trust us?"

Du Sha looked at Kangtai who was shaking his head and asked coldly.

"That's not the case. The imperial dynasty's reinforcements were intercepted halfway and were completely destroyed."

"what!"

"what!"

Du Sha and Chu Ying were suddenly startled and said.
