Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 99
The cold wind blows across the vast Hebei Plain on a winter night, and the moon quietly hides in the thick clouds, stingy to project the bright moonlight on this small village.

In the dark village, there are only three or two torches that can barely be seen. A dozen people are sitting or standing around a house, some are silent, some are whispering, some are fidgeting, There was a low cry.

Su Dingfang kept pacing back and forth, with expressions of expectation and fear on his face, and looked up from time to time to the only brightly lit house in the village ahead.

Pots of clean water went in, pots of blood came out, and seven or eight healthy women who could ride horses and hold weapons... One by one, they went out with pale faces covering their mouths, vomiting profusely.

"Su Lie, Su Lie, Su Dingfang?" Zhou Zhao, who was sitting outside, muttered the name, "I have been in Hebei and Shandong for many years, and I have never heard of this name... Who is this?"

Guo Pu and Fan Laosan looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhou Zhao frowned tightly, and really couldn't figure out the reason, why Li Shan suddenly changed his attitude when he heard this name, and immediately rushed to help, and he was risking that the woman might not be able to save him.

After getting along for more than half a year, Zhou Zhao originally felt that he knew Li Shan well enough. This is a very special young man with a city, scheming, and means. Except for his lack of talent and learning, Zhou Zhao felt that Li Shan could make a difference.

The most important thing is that Zhou Zhao is keenly aware that Li Shan seems to have a lot of experience in judging the situation, a bit of a forerunner, and often speaks to the point. cognition.

But sometimes, Zhou Zhao felt that he couldn't understand Li Shan.

When bandits attacked the village, Li Shanneng's heart was as hard as iron, no matter how much the captives begged, they would all be executed, which can be called ruthless.

But after the attack on Changlepo, Li Shan not only helped the injured refugees, but even bandaged the wounds of the injured robbers, his soft-heartedness is astonishing.

Today, however, Li Shan's diametrically opposite behavior made Zhou Zhao puzzled, not to mention that Li Shan wrote a private... In Li Shan's words, he wrote a script.

"It's useless to kowtow so many times, but after a while, I came to help..."

Hearing Zhou Zhao's muttering, Zhu Ba tilted his head and thought for a while, "I remember Mr. Lang said before that he refused before, and then took the initiative... Really fragrant?"

"Really fragrant?" Zhou Zhao was confused when he heard it, and his first reaction was that he was not knowledgeable enough... A similar thing happened when he was chatting with Li Shan about historical facts.

"Crack."

With a soft sound, everyone's attention was focused. Li Shan took off his mask, walked out tiredly, and made an OK gesture.

"How about...?" Su Dingfang naturally couldn't understand this gesture, and his voice was trembling when he asked.

After taking a few sips of salt water, Li Shan whispered to the young woman on the side to pour some salt water into the injured later, and then said to Su Dingfang: "It's hard to deal with it, but whether you can survive it depends on her physique."

Su Dingfang had tears in his eyes. Although he didn't understand the word "physique", he could understand the meaning of this sentence. His mother was probably...

Glancing at Su Dingfang, Li Shan added: "With such a serious injury, the strong may not be able to survive, but the weak may not be able to survive either."

"So..." Su Dingfang tugged at Li Shan's shirt, "It's possible..."

"Well, there is a [-]% chance of surviving."

Hearing the long gasps of Su Dingfang and the people around him, Li Shan was expressionless. He had done similar things many times, and he was tired of saying similar things.

There is a [-]% chance of surviving...that is to say, it is either dead or alive.

Although the arrow in the chest didn't hurt the aorta, the heart and other major organs were avoided, and the arrow didn't even penetrate deep into the body, but the injury wasn't so easy to deal with.

But the thing that worried Li Shan the most didn't happen. The arrowhead was bright and not rusty. If it was rusty, it's really... We didn't bring tetanus.

After a rough treatment, he was bandaged and sutured. Li Shan estimated in his heart that if he could wake up within three days, he might be able to survive, but the hope seemed a little slim.

"Liquid food doesn't work now, give me more salt water..." Li Shan explained it again, and waved Guo Pu and others away after hesitating for a moment, leaving only Zhou Zhao.

Su Dingfang also told the villagers to back away knowingly, leaving only himself and the young woman who had been with Li Shan in the house before.

Li Shan's expression was a little uncertain, "You can't move frequently, or the wound will burst."

The young woman blurted out, "In that period of time, just change the house with Uncle Liu's."

But Su Dingfang's face darkened, and Zhou Zhao beside him was also silent.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Zhao asked softly, "How about the Fan family?"

"If you let him go, you can guarantee that he won't make a comeback. Even if he doesn't come, what about the Turks?"

"Of the 28 Turkic people, 25 died and three were captured. If they knew about this, the Turkic people would probably wipe out the village."

After a pause, Zhou Zhao added: "Among the Turkic people captured alive, there is a man dressed in gorgeous clothes, who seems to be an unusual person."

This is as it should be, Fan Jiazi is the eldest son of Fan Yuan, and the Turkic nobles who accompany him are naturally of extraordinary status.

"If you kill him with one knife..." Su Dingfang said in a low voice, "I'm afraid Fan Yuan will send people to search this area tomorrow, and we can't hide it."

Zhou Zhao coughed twice, and winked at Li Shan... I can't let me perform the trick from beginning to end alone!

Seeing that Li Shan is still pretending to be dead, Zhou Zhao quit. You wrote the script, so why am I the only one on stage?

"Brother, when will the war start?"

Su Dingfang frowned, and turned his gaze to Li Shan.

Hearing the word "virtuous brother", Li Shan shuddered all over, Zhou Zhao was quite shameless when he got up!

"Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow." Li Shan looked up at the night sky, "If there is rain, it may be delayed."

"Is it the battle between the Tang army and the Eastern King of Han?" Su Dingfang's voice was a little hoarse, which was completely different from the roar when he was fighting for his life at the entrance of the village.

Li Shan said calmly and softly: "Brother Su should have known about it long ago."

Su Dingfang nodded slightly. He was not just asking about the war, but about the identities of Li Shan and his party.

But before those people shouted that they were the personal guards of the Eastern King of Han Dynasty, Li Shan immediately ordered to kill them. Obviously, this group was Tang Jun.

But Su Dingfang could also tell that the young man named Li Shan in front of him should not be an ordinary doctor if he knew the approximate date of the battle between Tang Jun and Liu Heitai.

Li Shan glanced at Zhou Zhao out of the corner of his eye, it's your turn!

Li Shan really didn't want to leave a bad impression on Su Dingfang... After all, he refused to save his mother before.

Zhou Zhao sighed, "The big battle will start, the main force of the Tang army will be [-], all of them are elite, Liu Heita must gather his troops, this place is hundreds of miles away from the junction of Jizhou and Shenzhou, Liu Heita's troops may not immediately search this area .”

"Based on this calculation, when there are at least two days..."

No more hesitation, Su Dingfang gritted his teeth and said, "Go, I can only go!"

In fact, this is a matter of course. Fan Yuan's eldest son and a Turkic nobleman disappeared inexplicably in this area. Now that the war is imminent, Liu Heitai may not pay attention to it, but once the war is known, he will definitely search this area.

Having made the decision, Su Dingfang did not hesitate, "There are horses and carriages in the village."

"Lay more layers of quilts on the carriage." Li Shan added, but he was thinking in his heart, now come to my bowl obediently.

But the next moment, Li Shan's body froze, so he couldn't bite his tongue.

Because Su Dingfang counted with his fingers, "Although there are many old and weak women and children, most of them can ride horses. It just so happens that the Turkic people kept the horse, which is enough for them."
