The hero bends down

Chu Xiyou never thought that he would miss, and was frightened and angry for a moment, and he froze on the spot.Zhong Su was catching the turtle in the urn, smiled faintly, turned his hand over, the blade made a hissing sound, and cut into Chu Xiyou's flesh.

Cold sweat broke out on Chu Xiyou's forehead. The coldness on the knife and the piercing pain in his chest made him unable to support his current body, and the blood all over his body poured out frantically to the wound on his chest.

Seeing that Chu Xiyou was about to die, Zhong Su lowered his eyebrows, and then withdrew the knife from his hand.

The knife was pulled out from his chest suddenly, Chu Xiyou spat out a mouthful of blood, couldn't stand anymore, and fell forward.

At the same time, someone from outside the tent came quickly, opened the tent, and a row of guards entered the tent holding torches. The first person who was a little nervous was Cheng Fengnan.

After Cheng Fengnan entered the tent, he saw the person lying on the ground, seeing the appearance of that person exhaling a lot of air but not inhaling, secretly heaved a sigh of relief, then looked at Zhong Su and said, "General Zhong is alright."

"It's nothing." Zhong Su looked at Chu Xiyou's blood in a small pool of blood on the ground, and said with a smile, "With the appointment of the imperial physician, how could something happen to Zhong Su?"

Listening to Zhong Su's tone was fine, but Cheng Fengnan was still worried.What he cared about was not only General Zhong, but also the emperor and General Zhong's unborn baby.

But looking at General Zhong's current appearance, Cheng Fengnan still thinks it's better not to mention the fetus.

The revenge was avenged, Zhong Su then ordered the guards around him and said: "Take this man to the military prison for inspection." He paused, raised his eyebrows and said: "If he is dead, put the corpse in the coffin and send an envoy to deliver it to him To Southern Chu."

Although he said so, but judging by Chu Xiyou's appearance, he couldn't last tonight.

The guards next to him immediately lifted Chu Xiyou up and half-dragged him to the outside of the military tent. The road was dripping with blood, which was shocking.

Seeing that the scene was safe, Cheng Fengnan immediately extinguished the burning ambergris.

Ambergris was also mixed with his carefully prepared Sangong medicine, which had no effect on ordinary people, but it was like a deadly poison to Chu Xiyou, a person with superb martial arts.

He listened to Zhong Su's wishes and mixed the medicine into the ambergris, which really suppressed Chu Xiyou's skill.

Zhong Su's gaze stayed on Chu Xiyou's bloodstain for a moment, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.But there was still one person in his mind, and he opened the curtain.

Just when he opened the curtain, there was a sharp whistling sound outside the barracks.The whistling sound was from far to near, full of real power, and deafening.

Zhong Su's face changed when he heard that, and he saw a figure appearing at some time in the southeast direction of the barracks, flying above the camp, as fast as a ghost, approaching Zhong Su's direction.

The ghost was running so fast that people couldn't see its face at all!

Zhong Su immediately looked at the front guards carrying Chu Xiyou, the time was too fast for him to think too much, he shouted sharply: "Be careful!"

How could the guards react as quickly as Zhong Su, they were only stunned by the sudden appearance of the ghost, and they frightened on the spot.

The ghost quickly flashed to the side of the guards, shook the two guards away, grabbed Chu Xiyou with one hand, threw it on his shoulders, and was about to leave.

Zhong Su drew his saber and slashed at the ghost.Seeing the flash of cold light, Ghost Shadow glanced at Zhong Su, but instead turned his palm and pushed Zhong Sudao.

The black iron treasure knife bestowed by the emperor was so sharp, the man was not afraid, he concentrated his real strength in his palm, which was good for resisting Zhong Su's chopping knife.

Zhong Su only felt a strange force emanating from the knife, which knocked him away.

He stepped back three steps in a row to counteract the force, and then a pain came from his lower abdomen.

Zhong Su's face was pale, he covered his lower abdomen, and secretly adjusted his breathing.Taking advantage of this gap, the ghost over there flew into the air with Chu Xiyou on its back.

At the same time, Cheng Fengnan just ran out of the tent, seeing the ghost's back, his expression also changed.

He was about to go up to catch up, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhong Su's unsteady breath, his heart suddenly rose, and he ran to Zhong Su's side.

"General Zhong, how are you?"

Zhong Su's hand holding the knife trembled a little, and it took him a long time to let out a breath and say, "It's nothing."

He straightened his back again, looked at the direction where the ghost was leaving, and frowned.

The guards next to him were frightened and startled, waiting for Zhong Su to give the order.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Prepare the horse."

Instead of chasing the ghost, Zhong Su led the guards on horseback to the opposite direction where the ghost disappeared.

In the opposite direction is a high ground.On the high ground, you can just see the general situation of the He Liangpo barracks.

Halfway through the journey, Zhong Su got off his horse and said, "You are waiting for me here."

The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what Zhong Su's plan was.

Cheng Fengnan also hesitated, but seeing Zhong Su insisted, he had no choice but to stay where he was.

Zhong Su entered the woods alone, carefully observing the surroundings while walking, his steps were very quiet, after a while, Zhong Su suddenly stopped.

There was a figure standing in front of him. The figure was facing the Southwest Army garrison. He didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't seem to know that Zhong Su was approaching.

"General Ji."

Zhong Su suddenly spoke.

The person in front seemed to be startled by the sudden sound, and his whole body froze immediately.

Zhong Su silently took out a torch from his sleeve, and lit the torch in his hand.

The bright red fire illuminated the nearby scene, and the person in the scene was standing upright, dressed plainly, it was Ji Munian.

Ji Munian did not expect that Zhong Su would suddenly appear by his side, and after a long time, he slowly said, "General Zhong, why are you here?"

Zhong Su walked into Ji Munian silently, looked at Ji Munian's legs, raised his eyes and said: "General Ji sent a letter to Zhong Su, Zhong Su thought that the general should still miss the Southwest Army, so he came here to have a look."

This place is the best place to observe the barracks of the Southwest Army. Zhong Su just tried it, but he didn't expect to see Ji Munian.

Ji Munian smiled awkwardly and said, "I see."

Zhong Su said: "General, won't you go back to the camp and sit down?"

His attitude at this time was exactly as Ji Munian had guessed, Ji Munian shook his head and said, "I'm really afraid that you are too enthusiastic and won't be able to get out after entering the barracks."

He said this to Wei Yiqing in the same way.

Zhong Su frowned and said, "Don't the general plan to go back to the Southwest Army?"

Ji Munian chuckled, and said evasively, "How about that Chu Xiyou?"

Zhong Su knew that Ji Munian was changing the subject, but he still followed Ji Munian's words.

"Prince Nanchu was wounded in the heart and lungs." Zhong Su paused and said, "If there is no medical treatment, he won't survive tonight."

Ji Munian breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "Is he still alive?"

"No. He was robbed." Zhong Su said.

After hearing this, Ji Munian frowned even more, and it took a while to relax: "Forget it, the centipede is dead but not stiff. This time he was seriously injured, and he won't be able to make any trouble for a year or so."

Zhong Su stared at Ji Munian intently.

After Ji Munian finished speaking, being watched by Zhong Su, he couldn't help but feel guilty, coughed dryly and said, "I should go too."

Zhong Su said: "Is the general really not planning to come back?"

"No." Ji Munian simply turned around, looked at the scattered lights of the military camp on He Liangpo, and said with a smile, "With you here, I don't worry."

Zhong Su frowned.

Ji Munian took a step forward, and said: "Look at me, I'm crippled, my martial arts are disabled, I can't even sit on a horse, I can't help the emperor anymore."

When he walked, there was the sound of fine silver chains.Zhong Su's gaze immediately shifted to Ji Munian's hand.

Ji Munian withdrew his hand back.

Zhong Su said: "General, if you have any difficulties, Zhong Su can help you."

"It's okay." Ji Munian said with a smile: "The key to this chain is in Chu Xiyou's hands, I can figure it out myself."

Zhong Su still felt that something was wrong, and when he wanted to speak again, Ji Munian waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."

Zhong Su was taken aback and said, "Where are you going?"

Ji Munian smiled lowly and said, "I have my own place to go." After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Su and said, "Zhong Su, you must take good care of the emperor."

Zhong Su knew that he couldn't persuade Ji Munian, so he bowed his head and remained silent.He tightly held the imperial gift sword in his hand, and finally stretched out his hand, spreading his palm and said: "The general entrusted me with this sword in danger, and now it should be returned to its original owner."

Looking at the knife, Ji Munian didn't intend to stretch out his hand, but shook his head and said, "I can't hold the knife now."

Zhong Su insisted: "General Ji is leaving, we will see you again in the foreseeable future. This knife was originally given to the general by the emperor, and the general should keep the knife for thought."

Hearing what Zhong Su said, Ji Munian's heart moved slightly.

He looked at the black iron sword, hesitated for a moment, finally took it, and looked at Zhong Su gratefully.

Zhong Su's eyes were a little red.

Ji Munian waved his empty hand and said, "It's dangerous outside, General Zhong should go back."

Zhong Su didn't move.

Ji Munian sighed, turned his back to Zhong Su, and walked slowly into the woods with his legs limping.

Zhong Su watched Ji Munian's back gradually drifting away, and quickly merged into the night.

He was still not reconciled, and opened his eyes wide to look at the direction where Ji Munian disappeared.

It was pitch black all around, only the night wind was cold and blowing slowly.
