Chapter 342 A good show is about to begin
At this moment, Li Baiyun was finally able to contend with Mengna with his superb swordsmanship. Hu Junfeng hurriedly withdrew to support Shishu and got into a fight with several other cavalrymen.
Shi Shu desperately protected Gu Zhanghua, but one person could not fight against two. She had been slashed in many places by the Rongdi soldiers, and blood gushed out, making her look like a blood-soaked person in an instant.
Seeing this, Gu Zhanghua was overcome with grief and cried out, "Shishu! Shishu!"
At this moment, a Rongdi cavalryman raised his giant axe and chopped it down at Shishu's head. Shishu was slow to move due to his injury and could not dodge in time!
Moreover, he seemed to realize that he could not escape death, so he closed his eyes and sought death!
Just then, Zhao Xuan suddenly leaped onto the chariot, forcefully pushed Shi Shu aside, and raised her long sword to block the giant axe. However, the giant axe was extremely powerful, and Zhao Xuan's sword was actually cut in two.
However, this caused the giant axe to pause slightly before striking Zhao Xuan's shoulder. Zhao Xuan dodged, but the axe still swept across her shoulder, slicing off a piece of her clothing, and blood gushed out immediately.
The attendant, sword in hand, stepped forward and cried out in grief and indignation, "Your Highness! Are you out of your mind? Get out of the way!"
"I think you're the one who's courting death! Xiao Wu, pull him away!"
Zhao Xuan used her lightness skill to maneuver around the cavalrymen wielding giant axes.
Several Xia soldiers nearby immediately rushed forward and, together with Zhao Xuan, cut off the legs of the cavalryman's horse. The cavalryman fell to the ground and was surrounded by the Xia army, allowing Zhao Xuan to catch her breath.
Gu Zhanghua, holding Shishu's hand, saw Zhao Xuan freed and hurriedly stepped forward, looking at the injury on Zhao Xuan's shoulder with trepidation.
He wanted to reach out and cover the wound to stop Zhao Xuan's bleeding, but he was afraid of hurting her. In his panic, he raised his arm, not knowing what to do.
How badly are you hurt?
"It's okay, just a skin injury."
Zhao Xuan waved her hand dismissively, then suddenly looked behind Gu Zhanghua.
"Servant!"
Gu Zhanghua heard the anxiety in Zhao Xuan's voice and quickly turned to look. He saw Shi Shu suddenly prop her up on the chariot with her sword, her body swaying precariously.
Gu Zhanghua hurriedly helped Shishu up, but Shishu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted instantly.
"Shishu! Shishu, wake up!"
Gu Zhanghua held Shishu's body and shouted in panic.
At that moment, the mournful cries of Rong and Di cavalry suddenly came from not far away.
"The King is dead! The King was shot dead by the Xia army!"
"Avenge the King! Let's fight!"
Upon hearing this, Mengna's expression changed drastically. Taking advantage of the situation, Li Baiyun stabbed him in the shoulder with a sword. However, Mengna ignored the sword wound and hurriedly turned his horse around, galloping towards the Rongdi cavalry.
The other cavalrymen, who had originally intended to capture Gu Zhanghua alive, were shocked and enraged upon hearing the mournful cries. They abandoned their fighting and charged toward the direction of the cries.
The men, who were locked in combat with the Rong and Di cavalry, looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Rongdi King is dead?!
He died so easily?!
In the heat of the moment, no one had the time to verify the truth of the matter.
Hu Junfeng hurriedly bent down and carried the unconscious Shi Shu on his back, with the others guarding him as they ran towards the Xia army camp.
At this time, at the foot of Tianlu Mountain, the Rongdi cavalry and the Xia army were locked in a fierce battle.
In Xia Jun's camp, within just a few days, the three ghosts of Guigu Sect and Xue Lianxin of Tiejian Manor had already come to regard Little Fairy Doctor as a deity.
They witnessed firsthand how Little Fairy Doctor calmly reattached and bandaged the wounded soldier whose arm was a bloody mess, sorted out the intestines and sutured the wounds of the wounded soldier whose abdomen had been ripped open by the enemy, and performed amputation surgery to save the soldier's life...
It only took them a very short time to go from being terrified to facing it calmly and becoming assistants to the Little Fairy Doctor, just like Hao Xiong.
Outside a tent, Zhao Xuan's shoulder wound had been treated and was wrapped in a snow-white bandage.
Gu Zhanghua, Li Baiyun, and Hu Junfeng stood by his side, all waiting anxiously.
When Shi Shu was brought into the tent, he was covered in blood, breathing weakly, and in a very bad condition.
Gu Zhanghua was extremely anxious.
“I know that Little Fairy Doctor is highly skilled in medicine, but Shishu… I’m still worried…”
Don't think the worst, don't think the worst...
Gu Zhanghua kept reminding himself, but the thought of Shi Shu fainting made him feel a surge of sadness that he couldn't suppress.
"What if something happens to Shishu..."
Zhao Xuan quickly reached out and covered Gu Zhanghua's mouth.
"Don't think nonsense. Worrying now won't help. We must trust Little Fairy Doctor!"
Just then, Hao Xiong dragged his tired steps out of the tent and nodded to everyone.
"Little Fairy Doctor sent me to tell you first, you won't die!"
Li Baiyun asked in surprise, "Just these three words?"
"Yes, what else did Little Fairy Doctor say?"
Gu Zhanghua grabbed Hao Xiong's arm and asked urgently.
Hao Xiong touched his forehead, recalling the events.
"When Little Fairy Doctor was treating Shi Shu's injuries, she muttered something like, 'She doesn't dodge when she can, all of her moves are life-threatening...' I think she meant that Shi Shu was risking her life to protect her brother-in-law!"
Hu Junfeng stepped forward and asked in a deep voice, "What's Shishu's condition now?"
Hao Xiong shook his head and gave a wry smile.
"Only Little Fairy Doctor knows the specifics, but it looks like it will take a long time. Why don't you go back and rest first, and I'll tell you as soon as Little Fairy Doctor is done with her work?"
"Hao Xiong! Hao Xiong! Where is he?"
From inside the tent came the voice of Little Fairy Doctor calling Hao Xiong. Hao Xiong could only smile apologetically at everyone and hurriedly turned around and went back to the tent.
Gu Zhanghua stared blankly at the tent, his face filled with sorrow.
Seeing this, Zhao Xuan had no choice but to hold Gu Zhanghua's hand and offer words of comfort.
"As long as she doesn't die, everything is fine. Little Fairy Doctor will definitely have a way to help Shishu recover slowly."
"Don't you remember when we went to Guze Town to investigate the case? Brother Shui almost lost his leg, but he's perfectly fine now, no problem at all?"
Gu Zhanghua remembered that when they went to Guze Town to investigate the case, Guan Liushui was accidentally bitten by a poisonous mosquito. He didn't take it seriously and didn't tell anyone.
Later, it was Little Fairy Doctor who noticed that Guan Liushui's walking posture was incorrect. She forcibly examined Guan Liushui and found that his calf was swollen and oozing pus. Fortunately, he received timely treatment and his leg was saved.
If even Little Fairy Doctor can't cure Shi Shu, then no one in this world can save Shi Shu.
Gu Zhanghua knew that he had to have faith in Little Fairy Doctor now.
The summer afternoon sun scorched the earth, but Gu Zhanghua felt a little cold. He couldn't imagine the days without Shishu, the brother who had been with him for so many years.
"Okay, let's go back and wait."
After Gu Zhanghua finished speaking, he looked at the tent again with reluctance before pulling Zhao Xuan and wanting to return to his own tent.
At this moment, Ma San ran quickly towards the group, and upon reaching Zhao Xuan and Gu Zhanghua, bowed and said:
"Your Highness, Your Highness, General Qin invites you to the command tent to watch a good show!"
Seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, Ma San didn't explain. He simply smiled faintly, looked at everyone, and gestured for them to proceed.
Gu Zhanghua greeted Hu Junfeng and Li Baiyun.
"Since General Qin has invited you, Master Hu and Master Li, why don't you two come with us to take a look?"
Inside Qin Shao's command tent, only Ma Si stood guard beside him.
When Qin Shao saw Gu Zhanghua and Zhao Xuan walk in, he smiled and nodded to them, then gave instructions to Ma Si.
"Go and bring them here!"
Ma Si obeyed and left. The four men took their seats.
Qin Shao looked at Zhao Xuan's shoulder with concern.
"How does it hurt?"
Zhao Xuan smiled indifferently.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, no bones are broken!"
Gu Zhanghua asked Qin Shao with a curious look on his face.
"Uncle Qin, what show did you call us here to see?"
Faced with Gu Zhanghua's question, Qin Shao smiled mysteriously.
"You'll know when they arrive. Fortunately, thanks to the crossbows you provided, we were able to win against the Rongdi cavalry in today's battle!"
Gu Zhanghua stopped dwelling on the issue and frowned as he thought of something.
"Uncle Qin, the Rong and Di tribes invade our northern border every year. Have you thought about whether there is any way to solve this problem once and for all?"
Qin Shao suddenly sighed, his face full of worry.
“There is a solution, but ultimately it requires your father’s approval… but His Majesty has been racking his brains over this matter for years…”
Qin Shao hesitated, looking troubled, which piqued Gu Zhanghua's curiosity.
"What exactly is the solution? Why is Father so troubled?"
