Encounter Qin Shihuang on a deserted island

Chapter 288 The Dying Maid
Xianyang sent the black flag army, and word has spread among the army that they all know that they are here to start a war.

The slaughter of Feiyan City this time may have been a warning from the Xiongnu, but it also stimulated them in disguise.

As soon as his words fell, the rest of the soldiers echoed: "Master Hou, count me in! I can fight too!"

Hearing the surrounding soldiers shouting angrily, Chang Yu didn't answer them.

Meng Tian glanced at Chang Yu thoughtfully, then raised his hand and said, "Everyone be quiet. Separate and see if there is anyone who can help."

He didn't get an answer, which made those soldiers very aggrieved. They are bullied to the door and still not start a war? !

Although all of them were very unconvinced, they did not disobey Meng Tian's order and separated to take care of the survivors.

Chang Yu got off his horse and walked slowly up to the City Lord's Mansion. Li Si and the others followed closely behind, but the soldiers outside the door did not follow.

Standing in the messy city lord's mansion, all the corpses were covered with horrific wounds, one could imagine how tragic it was.
"The corpses on the ground are mostly city guards. It may be a one-sided massacre." Wang Jian's voice was a little angry.

Dozens of city guards, not even a single Hun remained? !

"Don't be so absolute." Li Si stepped on the bloodstains and glanced left and right: "There are a lot of stumps that don't match the corresponding corpses, which means that the Huns moved away the corpses of their companions when they left, and it is unlikely to be one-sided. Massacre, our soldiers are not that useless."

Equestrian combat may be slightly inferior, but in face-to-face combat, Daqin's soldiers are only strong but not weak.

However, in general, the Xiongnu are nomadic people, and their physique is much stronger than that of the soldiers of Daqin.

In addition, Feiyan City has never been patronized by the Huns, and has never been involved in a war even in the era of chaos.

Perhaps, the soldiers guarding here have lived a comfortable life for a long time, and their reactions have greatly lagged behind.

The tragedy of the City Lord's Mansion was really unbearable, so he ordered the soldiers outside to come in to collect the corpse, and then turned around and left.

When the soldiers were packing up and Chang Yu and the others were about to leave the city lord's mansion, a soldier shouted: "There are still people alive here!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then Chang Yu took the lead and turned around and ran over: "Where?!"

The soldier stood by a water tank, pointing to the water tank with a pale face: "She is soaking in the water"

Chang Yu leaned forward and saw a woman with disheveled hair shivering in a water tank that reached her neck.

The water in the entire tank was stained red, and it was not difficult to see that she crawled in after being seriously injured.

Although in water, the blood will flow faster, but the temperature of the water tank is lower, which can maintain the activity to the greatest extent.

When Wang Jian came close, his eyes trembled suddenly, and he immediately grabbed the soldier next to him: "Hurry up and call the military doctor!"

"Old man, why are you so excited?" Chang Yu was startled by his shock.

The soldiers ran out staggeringly: "Military doctor, military doctor—"

Wang Jian stood by the water tank, brushing away the messy hair with trembling fingers: "Li Si, look who this is."

Li Si, who was behind, hurried forward upon hearing this.

When he fixed his eyes on the pale and dying woman in the water tank, he took a big breath and cried out in a slightly weeping tone.

"It's the maid next to the princess!" Li Si finished speaking, staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground: "It's over, it's over."

Fortunately, Chang Yu had quick acting skills and supported him. He gave them a strange look: "What's this?"

Li Si turned his head in a daze, and said in a trembling voice, "The maid next to the princess, what do you say?"

Seeing that the faces of the two of them were not right, Chang Yu also had a bad feeling: "No way?!"

"This court lady grew up with the princess, and they can be said to be inseparable."

Wang Jian said in a deep voice, "It's possible, it's a serious matter. If the king finds out."

Meng Tian, ​​who was at the side, came back to his senses in shock, turned around and waved his hand: "Everyone get out! Anyone who dares to speak nonsense will be killed without mercy!"

After the words fell, Li Si added: "Don't report it to Xianyang! If anyone dares to talk nonsense, they will kill the old and the young with three clans!"

When those soldiers heard the words, their faces turned pale, knowing that this matter was not simple, and in order not to know too much, they all left without looking back.

Standing outside the gate of the city lord's palace, shivering and fearful, no one dared to talk about what they had just heard.

Standing by the water tank, the four of them were all silent with serious faces, staring at the shivering and dying court lady in the water tank.

I can already foresee how difficult things will be.If it is not handled well, the war may start much earlier.

"Why is the princess at the frontier?" Wang Jian asked in a deep voice, he really couldn't understand why she appeared here.

Li Si glanced at Chang Yu, Chang Yu shrugged his shoulders to express his ignorance, and then said, "Maybe he came out to play?"

Wang Jian stared at it and said: "The Qin Dynasty is so big, why don't you go to the frontier?"

"Then I don't know." Chang Yu sighed lightly: "The maid is not dead, which means that the princess may be fine. Let's not scare ourselves."

"Instead of guessing whether the princess is dead or not, let's think about how to deal with this matter." Li Si said solemnly.

"How else can I deal with it?" Chang Yu sighed helplessly, and said, "Use the other's way to return to him."

"But if there is a large-scale battle, it may provoke disputes." Li Si said in a calm voice.

Chang Yu glanced at Wang Jian and then said, "We'll talk about this later. Let's see if she can be saved first."

Everyone had no choice but to nod when they heard the words. Everyone had a feeling of fear, and they were all praying that nothing would happen.
Soon, the military doctor came in a panic, stretched his hand into the water tank, checked his pulse for a while, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Although he was seriously injured, he was not fatally wounded. At this moment, he lost too much blood. Just bandage the wound and recuperate."

When the military doctor said that the maid was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately moved her out of the water tank in cooperation.

Looking at her wet clothes, if you don't take them off, you may get sick, and it's not easy to bandage them. A few big men are embarrassed to take off her clothes, aren't they?
Meng Yan didn't come with the army, and there were no women in the team. When he was having a headache, a woman walked by the door and asked her to come in to help.

The military doctor did not shy away from this. With the help of the women, he cleaned up and bandaged the maid's injuries.

Chang Yu and the others stood outside the city lord's mansion with solemn faces and said nothing. This matter is more difficult to deal with.

"For now, let the maid wake up first and ask her what happened, so that we can make a plan."

Otherwise, if you act rashly, what may happen, it is best to make sure that there is no connection between the two things.

The palace maid was injured and the whereabouts of the princess were unknown. This matter made them afraid to think about it, lest anything happen.

After the military doctor bandaged the palace maid, Li Si ordered several soldiers to transport her back to the military camp.

As for Feiyan City, the matter has been reported to the surrounding city lords and asked them to take over first.

The matter cannot be reported to Xianyang, so as not to spread the news of the maid's injury. At this moment, the whereabouts of the princess are still unknown.
