Chapter 31
It wasn't until Lu Bu's back completely disappeared under the dark side of the moonlight that Xiu Yuan paced back to the banquet.Sure enough, the reception banquet, which was full of ghosts, has already dissipated.Jia Xu sat at the table with a half-smile and waved to Xiu Yuan.
The knuckles of Jia Xu's hands are pale, and the veins of bluish white can be vaguely seen on the back of the hand, but the thin wrist unexpectedly gives off a strong texture.The usually wide blue-gray sleeve robe swayed strangely with the night wind blowing in from nowhere.Fan Chou was still dressed in a neat bunt, and he just put on a blue short coat hastily. When Xiu Yuan raised his eyes, he was surprised to find that the pattern embroidered on Fan Chou's blue short coat was exactly the same as Jia Xu's cuffs.
Although Xiliang has silk cloth, it does not have such a Jiangnan-style floral pattern.Xiuyuan faintly sensed something in his heart.But after seeing the simple expression on Fan Chou's face, he became uncertain.Even though Xiu Yuan was full of curiosity, he would not ask questions at this time. He quickly looked away from Fan Chou, and saw a ball of paper rolling down Jia Xu's open palm.
"Gao Shun has secretly sent the camp to find out. Chen Gong and Hao Meng are very close on weekdays. Even Hao Meng's family letter was written by Chen Gong. It's just that it's not clear how Chen Gong got along with Cao Wei. He is the person who conveys the news. He has rarely left the city since he came to Xiliang. It is absolutely impossible for a weak scholar with no strength to get rid of the stalking of the trapped camp. But maybe these are just me worrying too much, he Maybe I haven’t been able to get in touch with anyone from Cao Cao’s camp.”
Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Xiu Yuan calmly interrupted him: "Impossible, although Chen Gong is not as sharp and thoughtful as Guo Jia, he is definitely not a reckless person. The Hou Ye and I have not been here for so long. In the city, there is only one person in the city, so it is not surprising that there are omissions somewhere, not to mention that Gao Shun's trap camp is not as good at scouting news as the hidden guards that Lord Hou and I took away. They are good at assassination and Sneak attack."
As if to confirm Xiu Yuan's worries, a blue feathered arrow flew towards Jia Xu's back heart without warning in the empty porch.Xiuyuan's position was facing the gate, and he hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Jia, be careful!"
Almost at the same time, Fan Chou turned over and kicked out the chair under him, barely blocking the stab in the back.Fan Chou drew a thin machete from his wrist with a solemn expression: "Mr. Jia and the military adviser, hurry up, I will resist here for a while."
Jia Xu leaned back to Fan Chou calmly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone: "I'm afraid we won't be able to leave." As the brightly colored letter flames exploded in the night sky, people from the back house where the generals lived Dozens of strange men in green clothes and soft armor rushed out from everywhere.
Xiu Yuan was shocked: "Qingzhou soldiers? Could it be that Cao Mengde came in person?"
Behind Fan Chou, Xiu Yuan and Jia Xu were fighting with the masked man who rushed in from the gate, and they were obviously at a disadvantage, with blood oozing from several wounds on his arms and shoulder blades.
Although Xiuyuan was panicked in his heart, he forced himself to speak in Jia Xu's ear: "Mr. Jia, I need some time to prepare a spell to escape, can you think of a way to delay the time?"
Jia Xu nodded when he heard this, shook out a pile of light green powder from his sleeve robe and sprinkled it on the Qingzhou soldiers behind him, and asked the man in black in front of him calmly: "Although Fan Chou is not a famous general, You are also quite brave, judging by your martial arts, I am afraid that you are not an unknown person in Cao Wei, why do you do such a shameful thing?"
Fan Chou obviously had a hard time coping, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and his breathing gradually became heavy.Jia Xu's eyebrows slanted: "Fan Chou, come here quickly, that man's weapon is poisonous."
Fan Chou jumped back to Jia Xu almost subconsciously. Jia Xu quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom and sprinkled some egg-yellow powder on Fan Chou's wound.The man in black was obviously very surprised when he saw the yellow powder in Jia Xu's hand, but when he opened his mouth, it was just a young boy's voice: "Who are you, and there is an antidote from my military master Han Shisan?"
In fact, Jia Xu didn't know what kind of poison it was, but at this moment, he reacted very quickly and bluffed: "Even if you don't know what to do, you dare to cheat, and took the short knife from Fan Chou's hand in front of the man in black." , put it on the sleeve robe and mosuo lightly several times, just go to Fan Chou, as long as the knife makes a small cut in his body, he will surely die."
The man in black was none other than Cao Zhang who was specially ordered by Cao Cao to come to Xiliang with Guo Jia. As soon as he saw Jia Xu taking Fan Chou's knife, he became alarmed for a second, and was about to jump over. He tried to stop him, but he fell right into Jia Xu's plan. He threw a bunch of powder into his eyes as soon as he raised his hand, and shouted: "Fan Chou, go away!!"
The spell that Xiuyuan had prepared for a long time finally managed to catch up. The warm golden light and shadow enveloped the figures of the three people and gradually became blurred. Cao Zhang's martial arts skills are extremely high. Changing his body skills, he avoided the medicine powder under the hood, and even threw a sleeve arrow towards Guangming.
Xiu Yuan was caught off guard, and was shot immediately. There was a line of blood on the corner of his mouth, but he still gritted his teeth and threw out the Jade Rabbit lantern that had been hidden in his sleeve. The white mist filled the air, and he was on the wall of the outer city in a short while. Out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Yun managed to see Zhao Yun's bright silver armor on the top of the city tower, but he couldn't hold it anymore and passed out.
The spell was similar to Yu Ji himself, he quickly ran over holding a bright yellow object, although it was a small arm and leg, it passed through the entire city wall at an extremely fast speed, rushed to Xiuyuan's side, and hurriedly stuffed a few The pill went into his mouth: "He is poisoned, I wonder if Mr. Jia knows what kind of poison it is?"
Apparently it was just a battle of wits and courage, and Jia Xu was also exhausted. He leaned limply on Fan Cong's body, and said in a low voice, "The man in black who attacked us before accidentally slipped his mouth. The poison of Han Shi San. Unfortunately, Fan Chou was injured just now, so I used up all of Xinghua Chunyu."
"You and Zhou Gongjin are old friends? Otherwise, where did you get his wife's unique secret medicine Xinghua Chunyu?" Yu Ji cried out when he heard Xinghua Chunyu, Fan Chou frowned, and soon understood, The medicine powder used on him was probably extremely precious, and a complex emotion suddenly appeared in his always pure heart, including guilt and gratitude, but more of it was a completely unfamiliar warm emotion, like ironing Like flames, it was cruising on all four limbs. Fan Chou looked down at the wounds on his arms and shoulder blades. Even the blood had dried up, and the pain had long since dissipated. Only a slight itching and numbness remained, just like the furry cat's claws. Gently scratching the wound is very comfortable.
Jia Xu was obviously exhausted, and his voice became weaker: "No, I prepared these medicines myself. In the early years, I was accidentally exiled to the Nanman tribe, and then I made friends with Meng Huo and helped them renovate the Arrow Tower. This prescription was given to me in case I need it. It’s just that some of the medicinal materials are not available in Xiliang City, so there’s no way to prepare them anytime soon.”
Yu Ji opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, seeing Jia Xu's pale face, he swallowed the words resentfully, and let out a long sigh in a childish voice. After coming out, the atmosphere on the tower became a bit more heavy: "In this case, we can only wait for Lord Hou to come back to find a solution. As expected, the military adviser should put the Soul Condensation Jade on Lord Hou."
"Mr. Jia, it's not good! Someone attacked the camp!" Zhao Yun's eyesight was excellent, and he could see the sporadic fires at the suspension bridge of the city gate from a distance, and others had no time to come over, so he had to transmit his voice with full of internal strength.
Jia Xu frowned tightly, but looked at Fan Chou as if asking for help, and whispered in his ear: "I really have no strength, please ask General Fan to lend me some internal strength."
Jia Xu's cold breath slid past Fan Chou's ears, his whole body was stiff as if struck by lightning, he stuck his neck to Jia Xu's rough palm on the back of his heart, and carefully sent his internal energy there.Jia Xu's pale face finally became a little more rosy, and he raised his voice to speak: "The situation in the city is delicate, but the enemy army cannot enter the city and join the rebel army. I beg General Zilong to lead people out immediately. Taking advantage of the enemy's formation, kill him by surprise."
Before Jia Xu finished speaking, Zhao Yun blew a whistle, and a white-haired horse rushed out of the armor to the city.Zhao Yun flipped over in a chic way, wearing silver armor flowing like a white crane, landed firmly on the back of the white horse, and rushed out of the city first with a flash of silver light: "Soldiers of Jizhou, follow me out of the city to kill the enemy! "
Yu Ji hurriedly took off the crescent-colored kit from his waist and threw it into the city: "Zilong, take this kit with you, if the enemy has any weird Taoism, you will burn this thing, and I will take it with you." will come to your aid."
