Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

The two sides fought dozens of moves with dazzling movements, and the leader in red got a deep cut on his arm. He retreated hastily, blew the whistle of retreat, and threw a smoke at the same time. `The bomb tried to block Mu Liuyun's pursuit.

But Mu Liuyun's figure rose from the ground, crossed the range of smoke and flew forward for a distance of dozens of feet, appearing behind the red-clothed leader like a ghost. When the murderous look suddenly turned around, Mu Liuyun had already pierced the back of his heart with a sword.

The members of the Red Lotus Cult obviously did not have the same discipline and morale as the Iron Wolf Cavalry—even though nearly half of them were killed or injured, they still fought hard. When they saw the leader was killed, they were immediately defeated and fled in all directions. Afterwards, the cavalry of the Iron Wolf Cavalry took the opportunity to shoot down several of them.

Zhang Chi didn't care about the pursuit, so he hurried over to check on the situation of his brothers in the past. He saw a man dressed as a leader coming out of the blood-soaked cavalry, and shouted excitedly, "Little Chizi, why are you?!"

"Qin Chu, why are you here?" Zhang Chi was also surprised.

Qin Chu is the captain of the personal guard of Lu Zhiqian, the general of the Iron Wolf Army. When Zhang Chi was still in the army, he often came back to report important military information regardless of day or night, so the people in the personal guard knew him very well.

Although he didn't know why Zhang Chi left the army suddenly, Qin Chu still had great trust in Zhang Chi, and immediately explained to him the ins and outs of the matter concisely: "General Lu was ordered by the emperor to lead the army to encircle and suppress the Red Lotus Sect this time. A few days in advance, we went to Panlong Valley to investigate the enemy's situation, arranged for the deployment of the army, and led us to break away from the main force and go south. But somehow, the news leaked out, and the Red Lotus Sect people ambushed halfway. Although we resisted desperately, we failed everywhere. If you and that master hadn't come to help in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"General Lu is here?" Zhang Chi was filled with bad premonition, and asked anxiously, "Where are the others?"

"In the carriage." Qin Chu led him there, "The general was plotted against by an elder of the Red Lotus Sect, and now he is unconscious. The fellow was also stabbed by the general and fled temporarily, but he kept sending people to besiege , until we were forced into this mountain depression, we didn't even have a chance to treat the general, and now the general's situation is getting worse."

The door of the carriage was opened, and Zhang Chi saw the middle-aged general in his 40s lying inside at a glance. His face was pale, his eyes were closed, his shirt had been taken off, and a blue-black palm print on his chest was clearly visible.

In addition to the unconscious Lu Zhiqian, there was a white-clothed scribe beside him, and Zhang Chi recognized that it was their military adviser Xue Baisong.

There was also a wound on Xue Baisong's thigh, which was just pricked roughly with a cloth towel, and there was still blood oozing out. He didn't care about it, and rolled up his sleeves, trying hard to massage the unconscious Lu Zhiqian to activate the blood.

"I'll do it!" Qin Chu climbed into the carriage and took over Xue Baisong's work without caring to wipe off the blood and sweat on his face.

Only then did Xue Baisong move himself to the side of the carriage with difficulty, his voice hoarse due to blood loss and exhaustion: "Zhang Chi, you are here..."

"Mr. Xue, how is the general?" Zhang Chi asked eagerly.

"Very dangerous." Xue Baisong raised his eyes to look in Mu Liuyun's direction, "Who is this chivalrous man?"

Mu Liuyun chased out just now, and caught a member of the Red Lotus Sect who also seemed to be the leader. After tapping his acupoints, he carried him back and threw it on the ground. Zhang Chi briefly introduced to both parties: "This is Mu Liuyun from Shangqing Palace. Yun, this is General Lu, the general of the Iron Wolf Army, and Mr. Xue, the military adviser."

Hearing the name Mu Liuyun, Xue Baisong's pale face suddenly brightened: "It turns out that your Excellency is the junior of the Seventh Son of the Shangqing, and the winner of the martial arts competition, Daoist Tianxuan. I heard that you are very skilled in martial arts, so maybe General Lu will be able to help you!" Fan has been saved!"

Mu Liuyun frowned in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Chi also looked at Xue Baisong in surprise: "Liu Yun doesn't know how to do medicine."

Xue Baisong eagerly explained: "It's like this. It was Yin Yang Banner, an elder of the Red Lotus Sect, who attacked the general earlier. The general hit him with a mysterious ice palm, and now the yin and cold internal force is flowing through the general's body. Among the meridians, although I have been massaging him to invigorate the blood, the general’s body is still getting colder and colder. I’m afraid he won’t be able to last long if this goes on. Xue heard that the internal energy of the Shangqing Palace follows the way of yin and yang fusion, which is exactly The nemesis of the Xuanbing Divine Palm, Your Excellency has high martial arts skills and pure internal energy, if you can use your kung fu to heal the general, the general will be saved."

Mu Liuyun looked at Zhang Chi hesitantly, but just frowned and said nothing. Zhang Chi felt that he couldn't speak at this time, but he still looked at Mu Liuyun with a begging look.

Seeing his hesitation, Xue Baisong was also extremely anxious. He persuaded him as patiently as possible: "Master Lu, the life and death of General Lu is not only related to the safety of the border defense of the Central Plains, but also the key to sending troops to encircle and suppress the followers of the Red Lotus Sect. He is also one of the leaders of the Martial Arts Alliance, and he should feel the same as us in wanting to destroy the Red Lotus Cult, so please don't just ignore death."

"It's not that I don't want to save people." Mu Liuyun said, "I know how to use my kung fu to dissolve the yin and cold internal force of the Xuanbing God's Palm, but once this kind of kung fu is started, it can't be abandoned halfway. It is bound to recoil and go retrograde along the meridians. At that time, not only General Lu will surely die, but I will also go crazy and suffer heavy injuries. The demons of the Red Lotus Sect must also know this, so they will continue to send people to attack. Although I was repelled this time, But they will never let it go, when they attack again, if I can't make a move, I'm afraid you won't be able to resist."

"We will do our best to stop it!" Qin Chu said vowedly while keeping his hands on his hands.

Xue Baisong frowned and shook his head: "Don't be self-righteous, we can't risk the safety of the general and Taoist leader."

"Does Mr. Xue have any ideas?" Zhang Chi asked anxiously.

Xue Baisong didn't answer, but coughed violently, and the cough became more and more fierce. Zhang Chi quickly patted his back to help him breathe, but Xue Baisong turned pale and vomited a mouthful of dark blood.

"Mr. Xue!" Zhang Chi was shocked.

"Oops! It must be that the hidden weapon that the military advisor hit just now was poisonous!" Qin Chu quickly pulled out his dagger and cut the cloth strip tied around Xue Baisong's leg, only to see that the blood from the wound was already dark brown.

"Poison wolfgrass!" Zhang Chi recognized the poison all at once.

Because of its stable nature, poisonous wolfgrass can last for a long time when used on hidden blades. It is one of the more common poisons in Jianghu. The poison of the grass.

"Mr. Xue..." Zhang Chi was anxious and regretful at the same time, Xue Baisong shook his head, and said weakly: "The matter was urgent just now, and I can't take care of myself...Zhang Chi..."

"I'm here!" Zhang Chi held Xue Baisong's hand tightly.

When he first joined the army, he was still an illiterate person. It was Xue Baisong who took a fancy to his cleverness and patiently taught him how to read and write. Although as a scout, his time in the barracks was always limited, Zhang Chi did not learn much, but this did not prevent him from treating Xue Baisong as a respected teacher.

Now, his former teacher said with a dying look: "I'm afraid... it won't last long... the general is also unconscious. You have always been quick-witted and good at adapting to changes. Whether the general can escape smoothly this time depends entirely on you." I beg you...and Daoist Tianxuan, I know it's unreasonable for you to risk your life to save people, but the life and death of General Lu is related to the safety of the entire Dachen Limin community, please give me a helping hand, Xue... please!"

As he spoke, he insisted on bowing down to Mu Liuyun.

At this time, the reaction of most people should be to quickly support him and agree to come down, but Mu Liuyun didn't say anything, just turned around and flew away in the direction he came from, and the two ups and downs disappeared. It was gone on the other side of the mountain.

Xue Baisong stared blankly at the direction in which he was leaving, and Zhang Chi hurriedly said soothingly, "Liu Yun will definitely help, Mr. Xue just need to rest assured."

Xue Baisong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and then began to cough again. He was speechless, but he grabbed Zhang Chi's hand vigorously, took out a black iron token from his bosom, and solemnly handed it over to Zhang Chi. into his hands, and passed out.

Even though his body was severely poisoned and he knew that his life was not long, Xue Baisong still kept his mind clear.He knew that the commander-in-chief and the military adviser had all fallen, and the team lost its backbone. Although Qin Chu was highly skilled in martial arts and loyal, he might be able to take charge of the marching and combat under normal circumstances, but in terms of wit and cunning, he was not enough to deal with it. Such a dangerous form in front of him.

On the other hand, Zhang Chi, although he is a little younger, is a really smart person who he once wanted to accept as his disciple to inherit the mantle. This child has certain talents that no one else can match no matter how hard he tries.

Moreover, Mu Liuyun, who is the only one who can save Lu Zhiqian, only has friendship with Zhang Chi.

Although it was very risky, he still handed over the temporary command and future fate of this team to Zhang Chi.

Qin Chu didn't have any doubts about this, and asked Zhang Chi anxiously: "Little Chizi, since the military division trusts you so much, what should we do?"

Zhang Chi raised his head and looked around at his former brothers. These iron wolf riders still had firm eyes and did not show any pessimistic or dejected expressions, but after all, they were all wounded, and some even had no signs of life. Zhang Chi With a heavy heart, he ordered: "Clean up the scene and bring the brothers, regardless of the dead or alive, let's go to the nearby Tingquan Villa to borrow a place."

"Where is Taoist Priest Xuan that day?" Qin Chu asked worriedly.

"He'll be here soon." Zhang Chi looked back at the direction Mu Liuyun left, and said in a very affirmative tone.

The two of them turned their anger back to their anger, and Mu Liuyun was never ambiguous about this kind of matter.

Sure enough, when Zhang Chi led a group of iron wolf riders and began to move towards Tingquan Villa, Mu Liuyun also followed Qing Liu and others.

***

Zhang Chi knew in his heart that although the assassins of the Red Lotus Sect were temporarily repelled by Mu Liuyun, he would definitely send someone to watch them from a distance.As for the situation of Lu Zhiqian and Xue Baisong, it could no longer be delayed, so Zhang Chi had to find a place nearby to stand by and wait for help, so that Mu Liuyun could have a chance to heal Lu Zhiqian's injuries.

As far as Zhang Chi knew, Tingquan Villa was the most suitable place for defense nearby.

Tingquan Villa is also a manor built in the era of war and chaos, so there are arrow stacks above the gate like a city wall. Its terrain is backed by mountains and facing water, and it is attached to a steep cliff. In front of it is a deep valley with very fast water flow. And there are dense reefs, and the only way to the outside world is a suspension bridge.

This is simply an excellent place to hide from the world in troubled times - as long as the suspension bridge is closed from the inside of the villa, a dozen people are guarding the wall with bows and arrows, and there is no way for ordinary three or five hundred soldiers to come in and rob.And on the steep hillside next to the villa, you can still see some scattered terraced trees. As long as you have enough supplies in the villa, you can hide in it and wait for the first half of the year.

When they saw a cavalry team of hundreds of people approaching from the mountain road, the people in the villa immediately put away the suspension bridge, and a man dressed as a servant stood on the tower and shouted angrily across the river valley: "You guys Who is it, and what do you want to do here?"

Zhang Chi yelled and replied: "We are the Iron Wolf Cavalry of the Dachen Garrison. We were chased by the Red Lotus Cult on the way here. Many people were injured. We must requisition this manor to organize defense. After retiring from the Red Lotus Sect, there must be a heavy reward."

The author has something to say: "25 heroes guard the villa at night, the speed comes with nurses and long-range DPS! Don't T!"
