Chapter 243
Seeing that they were outnumbered, Chu Li turned around, dodging the rain of arrows, and climbed onto the roof.

"Stop him!" With a command full of air, the arrow rain shot again.

As soon as Chu Li jumped up, there was a dense sound of breaking wind behind him. Dozens of feathered arrows flew past his feet and reached him in the blink of an eye.

These arrows are all quenched with medicine, if they are shot, they will definitely be hit.

A look of fierceness flashed in his eyes, he raised his sword and swept across, a series of metal and iron intersecting sounds sounded, the feather arrows snapped at the root, and fell to the ground, making a jingling sound.

But the arrows were endless, coming one after another, even though his martial arts were good, it was hard for him to resist.

Just after he shot down the arrow, he suddenly heard a gust of wind coming from behind, and he quickly dodged, but unfortunately he was half a step too late, and his back was severely injured by a sneak attack.

He snorted, a stream of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, his body staggered and almost fell.

"My son!" The guard on the side shouted and ran up.

Chu Li stood firm and turned to look at his attacker. It was a man about twenty-seven or eight years old, tall and slender, wearing a black brocade robe, with a majestic and indifferent expression, and sharp eyes.

Chu Li knew him, this is Chen Yuntao, the personal guard commander of the emperor of Nanzhao Kingdom!
Thinking of this person's undefeated record in the past two years, his heart shuddered, and a bamboo flower bullet in his sleeve shot into the air, exploding a bright fireworks.

When the crowd saw his actions, they couldn't help being stunned.

"Grab him!" Chen Yuntao roared.

Six personal guards around him rushed over, and the other three hundred elite soldiers surrounded Chu Li.

Chu Li gritted his teeth and went forward, fighting desperately. He knew that he was definitely not Chen Yuntao's opponent, and it was impossible for these elite soldiers to let him escape. He could only hope that the reinforcements would come as soon as possible.

On the other side, Ye Zhaoyan rode his horse and galloped straight out of the city.

At the city gate, Ye Zhengping was leading a Ye family army to meet her, when he saw her from a distance, he shouted, "Zhaoyan, what's the matter?!"

Ye Zhaoyan tightened the reins and got off the horse, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

Ye Zhengping breathed a sigh of relief, amazed and pleased at the same time, Ye Zhaoyan actually brought back the antidote by himself.

After waiting for a few hours, he almost rushed into the Sheriff's Mansion because of his worries.

These more than three hours were really difficult, and every hour that passed, his conscience would be roasted.

If something happened to Ye Zhaoyan, how could he bear it.

Fortunately everything went well.

Ye Zhaoyan said sternly: "Uncle, I'll go to deliver medicine to grandpa, you go ahead and I'll come later. Let's move on to the next step when the army from Beiliang enters the country!"

It turned out that Ye Zhengping had already agreed with Ye Zhaoyan to use this trick, and asked Ye Zhengping to lead a team to the border of Beijun quickly to meet the envoys of Nanzhao Kingdom, and then change hands with the seal and documents of Beijun, Liang told the truth about the invasion, and persuaded the Nanzhao Kingdom to send troops to take back Beijun.

Even, in order for Nanzhao Kingdom to take action, Ye Zhengping made a promise to take care of the rear for Nanzhao Kingdom, giving them a reassurance.

Although Nanzhao Kingdom was skeptical and unwilling to send troops easily, it still sent Chen Yuntao to go outside the sheriff's mansion to find out.

Before they arrived in Beijun, the current spies discovered the traces of the Beiliang army's invasion, and even learned of the loss of the seal and documents from the guard of the prefect's mansion.

And at this time, it happened that Ye Zhaoyan and Chu Li were negotiating alone in the deepest part of the Sheriff's Mansion, Beiliang Qingqi all stopped in the yard, not aware of the situation outside.

Under Ye Zhengping's "kindness" guidance, Chen Yuntao waited on Chuli's only retreat, and he succeeded in one blow.

"Okay!" Ye Zhengping nodded excitedly and said, "I don't worry if you handle the matter! Take care of this cavalry on the road!"

Ye Zhaoyan said that although there was not much danger in going there, Ye Zhengping's heart palpited when he thought of the worries that she would bring to others when she committed the danger alone.

After all, he took the remaining soldiers behind him to the northern border. Now, he wanted to spread the news of Chu Li's capture, so that Beiliang would send more troops.

Everything he did next had only one purpose: to make the plan proceed smoothly before Nanzhao Kingdom weighed the pros and cons and released Chu Li.

Ye Zhaoyan also got on his horse, and led a group of people to gallop quickly to the dense forest outside the city, and arrived at the foot of a barren mountain in the outskirts.

She took out a jade tablet and knocked a few times on the groove on a wooden door, and soon the wooden door creaked open, revealing a passage.

A group of people entered the passage one after another, walked along the passage to the end, pushed open the heavy stone door, and what appeared in front of them was a quiet and quaint house. The whole room was illuminated by candles, and the furnishings were simple and clean. .

Seeing Ye Zhaoyan come in, the old man in the room slowly opened his eyes, and it was the dying Ye Wenxuan.

Not long after Qingquan and others left him and the military doctor in the camp, several cronies left by Ye Zhaoyan secretly sent him to a safe mountain forest near Beijun. Take the medicine in the shortest possible time.

After Beiliang Ye Wenxuan lost contact, he did not know what method he used to make the toxins in his body more violent.

Ye Wenxuan was aware of the changes in his body, but he didn't intend to tell others.

He originally had the will to die, planning to spend his last days here alone.

Beiliang is cunning, even if he fulfills the other party's request, it is still unknown to get the antidote.

Unexpectedly, he would still be alive to see Ye Zhaoyan come to him again.

A few tears flickered quietly in those slack eyes.

Ye Zhaoyan is the descendant of the Ye family who most resembles him, and has the same temperament as Qing Yun when he was young.

It really made him love and regret.

Seeing Ye Wenxuan's appearance, Ye Zhaoyan immediately knelt down, with tears streaming down his face, and choked up, calling out: "Grandpa."

Ye Wenxuan's slightly closed eyes flickered with love, and he sighed: "You child, why are you crying again? Didn't he get the antidote? Grandpa was half-buried in the ground."

"Grandpa, Zhaoyan got it." Ye Zhaoyan broke down in tears.

Ye Wenxuan nodded, and reached out his hand to help Ye Zhaoyan up, but his hand slipped feebly, "If that's the case, why are you crying?"

Seeing that he was exhausted, Ye Zhaoyan wiped away the tears from his cheeks, raised his voice to call a maid, and ordered her to bring a bowl of soup, and serve Ye Wenxuan to drink it himself.

The decoction was warm and sweet, and a fresh fragrance permeated his nose, and his pale face gradually returned to rosy.

However, after Ye Wenxuan took the pill that Ye Zhaoyan brought, his face turned pale again and his whole body trembled, as if he was enduring great pain.

"This Gu poison is really strong."

Beads of sweat rolled down, he gritted his teeth and persisted for a while, finally couldn't bear the severe pain and passed out.

Ye Zhaoyan got up in a panic and said, "Please call for a military doctor!"

Not long after, the two military doctors hurried into the room. After checking the pulse, they were all shocked: "The Gu worm devoured the body. The general's body loss is too serious."
