Not long after Liu Xun was tied up and imprisoned, a soldier who looked like a prison guard came over and opened the cell door. He brought a basket of fruits and said politely,"Eldest Young Master, the Lord ordered me to bring fruits to Young Master.”
Following that, the jailer immediately took out a fruit. He did not untie the rope that bound Liu Xun. He pinched Liu Xun's nose with one hand and peeled the fruit peel with the other, wanting to send it into Liu Xun's mouth. How could a servant treat his master like that?
No matter how stupid Liu Xun was, he understood that at this critical moment, those fruits were definitely poisonous. However, his hands and feet were tied up, and he could not break free in a hurry.
In a moment of desperation, Liu Xun circulated his Qi around his neck and extended his head to slam into the other party. The jailer did not expect this move and was caught off guard. He stumbled and fell.
Seeing that he had been seen through, the jailer no longer concealed himself. He lifted the hem of his robe, took out a sharp knife, and approached Liu Xun with a sinister smile.
" Damned thing, it's just as General Zhang expected." A cold harrumph sounded as the jailer fell to the ground, blood gushing out of his heart.
Wang Gui and Li Ren walked out from a dark corner of the dungeon. Wang Gui kicked the jailer's corpse and spat.
"As expected by our lord, where can you escape to?”A group of masked men appeared. They all held swords and sabers in their hands. The person in the lead had a thick hand and a heavy machete on his back. One could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
" Li Ren, leave quickly. I'll hold them off. You go and inform General Zhang." Wang Gui raised his long saber and blocked the saber that was coming at him. His arms felt numb, and he almost couldn't hold his long saber. Li Ren quickly turned around and fled. He knew that the situation was critical. If he was a little late, he would lose his life.
" You want to leave? It's not that easy." The leader of the masked men waved his hand, and the five masked men immediately rushed towards Li Renbao.
" Go to hell!" Liu Xun suddenly attacked. As lightning surrounded him, True Qi surged out. Three of the weaker masked men were immediately burned into charred corpses. The other two masked men's right arms were missing. Their severed arms were charred by lightning, revealing their ghastly white bones.
The two masked men were very brave. They didn't retreat. They held their sabers in their left hands and continued to pounce. It seemed that they were reared death warriors.
However, Li Ren took this opportunity to escape and report to Zhang Ren.
It turned out that Liu Xun's zhenqi was different from others. When the lightning zhenqi was circulated to the extreme, it actually burned the rope that bound him. Naturally, it was released. However, his clothes were also burnt, and his upper body was exposed.
The leader of the masked men did not seem to have expected such a change. He shouted in a low voice, He abandoned Wang Gui and pounced towards Liu Xun.
Before he even arrived, he raised the thick machete in his hand, and a gust of strong wind shot out. The green light on the blade was clearly dipped in poison.
Liu Xun hurriedly returned the blow with a palm strike. The wind from his palm swept away the thick machete. He then moved his feet and retreated quickly. He did not forget to kick the back of his right foot, and a long sword jumped up and was caught in his hand.
This sword was left behind by the masked man who had just been killed. Liu Xunyang slashed at the air and felt that it was still handy.
With this retreat, Liu Xun's weak reading with his left foot was discovered by the leader of the masked men. " Damn cripple, give me your life." He quickly followed up and raised his thick machete again, slashing at Liu Xun's left foot.
He raised his sword and pushed away the Ghost Head Blade. Then, the tip of the sword shook and stabbed at the left side of the masked leader.
The leader of the masked men dodged to the side, and Ghost Head Blade simply passed to his left hand, while his right palm struck toward Liu Xun's chest. The strength of this palm strike was restrained, and he did not want to waste a trace of zhenqi. However, this palm strike sealed all of Liu Xun's escape routes. After all, Liu Xun's left foot was disabled, and his leap was somewhat ineffective. Clearly, the leader of the masked men had targeted this attack and forced Liu Xun to take it head-on.
Liu Xun had no choice but to take the blow head-on. His palms collided, and his body shook violently. He was sent flying. The masked man's fist and leg skills were much better than his saber skills, and he was even better than Liu Chan.
The leader of the masked men's knife skills were very unfamiliar, which made Liu Xun think of a possibility. This person might not use a knife. He used a knife to hide his identity.
The reason for this was that the other party might be someone he knew well, and the other was that the other party's weapon was too special, and using it would be too ostentatious.
"Who exactly are you? With your skills, why did you do such a shameless thing?”Liu Xunfa asked while paying close attention to the other party's reaction. The other party's face was covered extremely tightly, revealing only a pair of eagle eyes.
The masked leader answered Liu Xun with an even more violent palm strike. At the same time, the Ghost Head Blade in his left hand slashed toward Liu Xun's left leg.
Liu Xun unleashed his full strength as his zhenqi surged. Lightning surged in his palm, causing the head of the masked man to feel his scalp tingle. A portion of his right palm was burnt.
Liu Xun's injuries were even more severe. The masked man's palm strike did not seem as ferocious as Liu Chan's, but it was actually more condensed. It already had a faint sign of turning solid into virtual. There was a trace of virtual force in it that dissolved a portion of Liu Xun's zhenqi.
It was the sign that Lefeng was about to enter the void.
Liu Xun felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break. He would definitely not be able to last more than three palm strikes.
At the same time, the leader of the masked men seized the opportunity to slash at Liu Xun's left leg.
The sword crossed over to his left hand, and Liu Xun stabbed with all his strength towards the thick back machete. The machete was heavy and the sword was light, and his body was weak. Although he managed to swing the thick back machete away, his left leg was also slashed.
His left leg felt numb and itchy, and the blood that flowed out was green. That was a sign that the poison gas had entered his body.
Liu Xun could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground with a thud. Just as the masked leader was about to stab him again, the shouts outside shook the sky. It was obvious that Liu Zhang and Zhang Ren's reinforcements had arrived.
No one has ever been able to escape from my poison. You're a Prefecture Overseer's son, so I'll leave your corpse intact."
The masked man made a prompt decision and retreated. As he retreated, he killed one masked subordinate after another.
By the time Zhang Ren and Liu Zhang arrived, the masked leader had already disappeared.
" Eldest Young Master, what's wrong? You must hold on. You'll be fine soon. Left and right, quickly call the military doctor." Zhang Ren helped Liu Xun up from the ground. He saw that Liu Xun's face was pale and his left leg was swollen. It had doubled in size.
" General Zhang Ren, thank you. If you didn't send someone to protect me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to last until now." Liu Xun was extremely touched by Zhang Ren. This Zhang Ren, who usually looked cold, was actually so warm-hearted. This time, he could be said to have saved his life.
"Young Master, you'll be fine soon. The military doctor will be here soon. " The lord has agreed to let you be my deputy general and send troops to fight Zhang Lu." Zhang Ren supported Liu Xun's body and saw that although he was poisoned, his eyes were still filled with perseverance. He couldn't help but be secretly amazed.
"Zhang Lu is finally here, but it doesn't matter. If that Demonic Priest doesn't come, then so be it. This poison reading is not enough to kill. Please ask the general to quickly collect the drunken fish list and the heavenly master chestnut.”
"Alright, this general will get someone to do it. Zhao Baoshan, quickly go and collect the drunken fish list and the heavenly master's chestnut."
Zhao Baoshan, who had been waiting for orders, rushed out to receive the order.
"Father, I was reckless this time. Those people who killed me said that it was father's order.”Liu Xun turned to Liu Zhang and saw that Liu Zhang had actually shed a few tears.
"How is that possible? If I wanted to kill you, would I need to go through so much trouble? Xun 'er, I have wronged you this time.? Because your mother gave birth to you, that fortune teller Zhang Tianshan said that you were a jinx, jinxing your mother and father. In addition, you've been doing whatever you want all these years, so I have a prejudice against you. Now, it seems that I was wrong. Don't be jealous of me. Those who want to kill you will not be forgiven easily if I catch them. From now on, I will treat you and your brother equally.”
" Forget about those people. It's all in the past anyway." Liu Xun glanced at the dozens of masked men's corpses on the ground. Although the dead could not testify, he knew that Liu Chan was definitely involved.
They were both sons, so Liu Xun did not want to put Liu Zhang in a difficult position for the time being. He believed that even if Liu Zhang could not figure it out at the moment, he would suspect Liu Chan in the future.
Not long after, a white-haired old man carried a medicine box and walked into the dungeon shakily. He reached out to check Liu Xun's pulse, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Divine Doctor Zhang, is Eldest Young Master alright?”Zhang Ren asked him carefully, feeling uneasy. This was the hope of Yizhou.
"This is a rare and strange poison. Even if Eldest Young Master can keep his life, I'm afraid he can only stay in bed for the rest of his life. As for his left leg, it was completely crippled.”
"What? My son can only stay in bed for the rest of his life? What kind of military doctor are you? Divine doctor? Men, drag this quack out and chop him up. "Get a few more doctors. Even if you have to search the entire Yizhou, you have to find a miracle doctor to cure my son," Liu Zhang shouted hysterically. His impression of his eldest son had just changed. Just as the father and son were about to bury the hatchet, his son was going to die again. How could he not be angry?
"Lord Prefecture Overseer, you can't do this. Even an immortal couldn't cure Eldest Young Master's condition!”The old military doctor prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic." I have an eighty-year-old mother and a one-year-old baby waiting to be fed!”
"Don't make things difficult for the military doctor, Father. I won't die yet. I will have a way after Heavenly Master Li and Drunken Fish Dan are found.”
"No way. That Heavenly Master Li is a medicine for digestion, and the drunk fish is a medicine for cold. The two are completely unrelated, but when mixed together, they can actually cure your poison. I don't believe it even if you kill me! Eldest Young Master, don't be misled by a quack doctor. This old man has been studying the art of sexual intercourse all my life and has the reputation of being the national master of the apricot forest, but I've never heard of this antidote. Eldest Young Master, please reconsider!" The old military doctor had just gotten out of danger. When he heard Liu Xun's prescription, he immediately shouted.
" Hmph, I don't care what kind of Xinglin National Hand you are. If my son still can't be cured this time, I'll chop off your hand first," Liu Zhang said angrily. When he heard that there was hope, he was instantly overjoyed. However, this old man was so good as to pour cold water on him, and the anger in his heart soared.
In just a short while, a large pile of drunk fish and heavenly master chestnuts came up. Some of them were caught from the pharmacy, while others were freshly picked.
"This is the benefit of power. It seems that no matter in ancient or modern times, power is the most poisonous poison. F * ck, in my previous life, I was born into a family of doctors. At least I studied for a Ph.D. in biology and chemistry, and I even enjoyed the dazzling halo of being a biochemical expert. In the end, I still died from a virus. "If there was such a rescue method, perhaps this story wouldn't have happened," Liu Xun sighed to himself as he chewed a pinch of drunk fish sheet and Tianshi chestnut and rubbed it on the wound on his left leg.
The old military doctor was extremely conflicted. He wanted to watch how Liu Xun treated him, but he was afraid that Liu Zhang would really cut off his hands if he couldn't cure him.
In the end, his curiosity overcame his fear of death, and he decided to watch from the side.
A miracle happened. Liu Xun's swollen left leg seemed to have shrunk a little. It was obvious that the combination of Buddleja and Celestial Master Chestnut had played a role.
"I didn't expect this. I've studied the art of Qihuang all my life, but I've never seen such medical skills.”The old man was extremely happy and looked at Liu Xun with a strange gaze.
"Where's your True Spirit? Xun 'er, where did you learn this from? But I've never heard of you having medical skills?”Liu Zhang asked curiously.
Liu Xun could ignore the old military doctor's pestering, but he had to answer Liu Zhang's question. He couldn't really tell him about this.
"When I was ten years old, I met a Taoist with a limp and a misty gaze outside the residence. That Daoist called himself Zuo Ci and said that my root bone was extremely good and that I had the appearance of a rich and noble person. He taught me a few immortal recipes to save my life.”
" So it's an immortal technique passed down by Old Immortal Zuo Ci. No wonder it's so magical," the old doctor said with a sigh. Zuo Ci practiced Taoism in Shu and helped the people from time to time. The people were ignorant and treated him as an immortal. There were many legends about Zuo Ci in Shu.
It turns out that my son has actually received the care of Old Immortal Zuo Ci. No wonder he's able to turn misfortune into good fortune." Liu Zhang was enlightened.
The sound of horses galloping could be heard." Reporting to my lord, Jiameng Pass is in an emergency. General Yang Huai has requested for my lord to send reinforcements as soon as possible. The city's rations can only last for three days at most."”
