Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 410
"They're all mortals!"

Huan Chang looked at the situation in front of him, and his pupils shrank immediately.

"Tap Tap!"

The sound of neat and hasty footsteps came, and Captain Qiuxu came with a group of soldiers and horses with a murderous look, awakening the shocked people.

The place where Huan Chang was assassinated was not far from the recruiting place of the new army, and Captain Qiuxu was in charge of recruiting recruits here.

After receiving the news that Lord Huan Chang was assassinated, Colonel Qiuxu didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, and immediately led troops to support him.

"The late general rescue came late, I hope the lord will punish him!"

Seeing that Huan Chang's left arm was injured, Colonel Qiu Xu's expression changed drastically, and then he lowered his head and half knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

"Take away the corpses of the assassins, and return to the barracks first!"

Huan Chang's face was as heavy as water, and he didn't want to talk about the topic of being assassinated here, so he immediately led Captain Qiuxu and Wu Jing towards the barracks.

The people watching on the street didn't come back to their senses until this time, and after watching Huan Chang leave, they began to talk about it.

"I didn't expect the general to be so young!"

"Who the hell dares to assassinate the general in the street!"

"The warrior with the long spear just now was too powerful. He instantly killed more than a dozen assassins with one move. After he saves the general, he will definitely be reused."

General Huan Chang's assassination in the street was seen by many people, and the news spread throughout Shangqiu City not long after.

Inside the barracks, Huan Chang's face sank like water.

"Someone actually dispatched a forbidden crossbow in the army to assassinate me. It seems that generals in the army are also involved in this operation!"

Huan Chang's eyes loomed murderous.

Since Huan Chang became a general, in order to win the hearts of the army, he has treated all the senior generals in the army well, and these generals have also shown their loyalty to Huan Chang.

Before the reform, Huan Chang thought that he would encounter great obstacles, but he always felt that as long as he controlled the army in his hands, and with the support of Song Gong, the new law would definitely be implemented.

But now, there is actually a high-ranking general in the army planning to do something wrong, and he immediately poured cold water on Huan Chang.

"My lord, there are not many generals in the army who can mobilize these bows and crossbows. As long as you give me some time, I can find out which generals want to do this, my lord."

Captain Qiuxu stepped forward with a murderous look on his face.

In Captain Qiuxu's opinion, since the lord is the general of the Song Dynasty, those generals should obey the military orders unconditionally.

Now that someone dares to offend the superior, Captain Qiuxu cannot bear such a thing no matter what.

In the camp, Wu Jing listened to the conversation between the two, but seemed a little restless.

The things that Huan Chang and Captain Qiu Xu talked about were all high-level military secrets, Wu Jing was just a commoner, knowing so many things was naturally not a good thing.

However, Wu Jing still had some expectations in his heart, that is, the general would use him more, so he would talk about these topics in front of his face.

"Tap Tap!"

Just when Wu Jing was uneasy, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the camp, but it was the shadow who came in with a gray-haired military doctor.

"My lord, let the military doctor take a look at your injuries."

Huan Chang's left arm was shot by a crossbow arrow, and the crossbow arrow was coated with poison. If Huan Chang had not possessed the constitution of being invulnerable to all poisons, he would have died on the spot.

Even so, the arrows shot out by the special crossbow still carried powerful lethality, and had penetrated into Huan Chang's bones.

Fortunately, Huan Chang's martial arts were strong, and he used his true energy to stop the blood from leaking out, so it didn't seem to be a serious problem.

Captain Qiuxu had also checked the injury for Huan Chang long ago, and knew that the arrow had entered the bone of his left arm, so he didn't continue to talk about it when he saw the military doctor coming.

"The lord is here to heal his wounds first, and the general will investigate who sent the assassin here."

Huan Chang nodded slightly, and after Captain Qiuxu left, his eyes met with Shadow, Shadow nodded imperceptibly, and a smile appeared on Huan Chang's face immediately.

Looking around the room, Huan Chang saw Wu Jing who was fidgeting, and said with a smile: "If there is no strong man to help me this time, my life may not be safe."

"I also hope that the strong man can accept my worship!"

In just a short period of time, Yin Ying had already investigated Wu Jing's identity, knowing that this person was born innocent, and his martial arts were strong, and he was once a rare hero in the army, so he secretly notified Huan Chang.

Regarding today's inexplicable assassination, Huan Chang had deep doubts, even if Wu Jing suddenly appeared to save him, Huan Chang still did not let go of his guard.

From Huan Chang's point of view, Wu Jing might not have been someone who was deliberately sent to get close to him by those who planned to do something wrong, with big plans.

However, Huan Chang had great trust in Ying Ying's ability, and when he saw the other party nodding secretly in the direction of himself, he immediately felt relieved.

Seeing that the general wanted to salute himself, Wu Jing hurriedly dodged it, and said with some fear: "The general is respected, how can I salute my subordinate?"

"Besides, I was also a member of the army before, and logically speaking, I was also a soldier under the general's command. It is my duty to help the general."

"And just relying on those assassins, I'm afraid they may not be able to win the general."

Wu Jing has been in the army for many years, so he naturally knows that the ranks in the army are strict, even if he is good at martial arts, he would not dare to show any arrogance in front of Huan Chang.

Because, Wu Jing wanted to join the army in the future, and then accumulative military merits would be ennobled, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect General Huan Chang.

When Huan Chang heard Wu Jing's words, he couldn't help feeling curious.

He just knew from the shadow's eyes that the identity of Wu Jing in front of him was not a problem, but he didn't know anything about Wu Jing.

Now that I heard that the other party had served in the army, I wanted to inquire carefully.

"The general's injury is critical, I will quickly remove the arrow from your bone."

Just when Huan Chang was about to ask questions, he heard the dissatisfied voice of the old military doctor.

"Yes, yes, the general should heal his wounds first, heal his wounds first."

Wu Jing also hastily responded with words.

For warriors with genuine energy, internal and external injuries are not a big problem, but once the bones are injured, they need to take a good rest.

Seeing the grey-haired military doctor's angry face, Huan Chang could only smile wryly and shook his head.

This military doctor is the best medical worker in the army, and he is not young anymore. He has treated countless senior generals in the army. Even if he has no official position, he is respected by the generals in the army.

In addition, this person has an upright personality, so even in the face of General Huan Chang, he still dared to speak out against him.

For this kind of person, Huan Chang naturally admired him from the bottom of his heart, and immediately said: "Sir, just treat me. My arm is injured and my mouth is fine, and I can still talk to strong men."

After speaking, Huan Chang immediately sat down and put his arms on the stool.

Seeing this, the old military doctor was slightly taken aback, and then said displeasedly: "If you want to remove the arrowhead from the bone, you must first cut the flesh, and then use tweezers to pull out the arrowhead. Is it sackcloth?"

No matter how powerful a warrior's martial arts are, they can still feel pain just like ordinary people. That's why the old military doctor suggested that.

Huan Chang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said: "Sir, just take out the arrow, and the pain is just bearable."

After finishing speaking, Huan Chang ignored the old military doctor, and instead asked Wu Jing, "Can the strong man tell you why he was able to find out that those people were assassins in advance on the street today?"

The old military doctor and Wu Jing fell into a momentary stupor because of Huan Chang's speech. After hearing Huan Chang's question, they both came back to their senses.

Although the old military doctor didn't believe it, he didn't say anything. He just came to Huan Chang's side step by step and began to treat his wound.

But before doing it, the old military doctor still kindly reminded: "If the general can't bear it, you can hum it out loud, which can relieve the pain."

"I'll put the sackcloth next to it. If the general needs it, he can take it at any time."

After finishing speaking, the old military doctor took scissors and cut off the blood-stained clothes on Huan Chang's arm, revealing a terrible wound.

Wu Jing looked at the general who didn't change his expression, his eyes also showed reverence, and then he said: "I have served in the army and commanded elite crossbowmen, and I know the soldiers who control this kind of crossbow very well."

"On the street just now, although these people are well hidden, the grassroots can still recognize the difference between them."

"Besides, the crossbow is not small. These people hide it in their arms, and they can easily recognize it as long as they pay attention."

This kind of bow and crossbow is a controlled weapon in the army, and it is a sharp weapon that can shoot and kill warriors in the peak realm. The soldiers who control the bow and crossbow are naturally extraordinary.

According to the regulations of the army, every soldier who controls this kind of crossbow must be a warrior in the peak realm, and must be proficient in firing rate.

Only in this way can it be guaranteed that the arrows on the bow and crossbow will not miss when facing the warriors in the burglary realm.

After all, not only is this kind of bow and crossbow very rare, but even the arrows are made of special materials, so it is impossible to have too many of them.

In the face of a powerful burglar, if you can't seize the opportunity and shoot him before the opponent approaches, after he rushes into the crossbow formation, it's as simple as Wu Jing killing a dozen crossbowmen on the street .

In this way, the powerful crossbowmen will lose their due effect.

Therefore, every crossbowman is a sharpshooter, and there will naturally be a sharp temperament on his body.

Although Huan Chang had led the army for a long time and had this kind of crossbowmen under his command, but because of his high status, he didn't have much contact with these crossbowmen, so naturally he didn't know as much as Wu Jing.

Hearing Wu Jing's explanation, Huan Chang nodded slightly, but felt more and more uncomfortable in his heart.

Before this, Huan Chang had suspected that these crossbowmen who came to assassinate might be subordinates of nobles, but thinking of the temperament of the crossbowmen, Huan Chang immediately affirmed that these people were soldiers in the army.

"What a horrible toxin!"

Seeing the faint green light emitting from the exposed arrow body, the old military doctor carefully scraped it with a knife, and after studying it carefully, his complexion changed drastically.

"This kind of terrifying toxin is impossible for even a martial artist in the peak realm to resist, but the blood of the lord is as bright as usual, and there is no sign of poisoning at all."

"Can you tell me, my lord, what is the reason for this?"

The old military doctor's dedication to medical skills far surpassed that of ordinary people. After seeing this strange scene, he couldn't help asking questions immediately.

The old military doctor's words interrupted Huan Chang's thoughts, and he immediately said with a smile: "I have swallowed several ten thousand snake fruits, and they are almost immune to all poisons."

"Although this kind of toxin is powerful, it is still far from the toxin on Tangmen Guanyin Youlei, and it can't help me at all."

The old military doctor was not from the rivers and lakes, nor was he an expert in the use of poison and detoxification. Naturally, he did not know the purpose of the ten thousand snake fruit, and it is impossible to know that Guanyin has the reputation of tears.

After amazed, the old military doctor didn't ask too much, and continued to treat Huan Chang's wound.

"hiss!"

However, An Ying and Wu Jing are very aware of how powerful Guanyin Youlei is. I heard that Huan Chang was poisoned by the poison on Guanyin Youlei before, and his pupils constricted.

They couldn't figure out how Huan Chang could survive under the attack of a hidden weapon like Guanyin Youlei without breaking through to the realm of transformation.

This is simply a miracle in the arena.

However, Huan Chang, as a superior person, even though the two had many doubts in their hearts, they did not ask any questions.

However, Huan Chang became interested and kept talking with Wu Jing.

During this process, Huan Chang discovered that Wu Jing was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had a good understanding of the art of war.

Knowing that the opponent had served in the army and made many military exploits, Huan Chang's mind immediately became active.

According to Huan Chang's idea, the new army must be trained while reforming, and many talented generals must be promoted in the process.

During the conversation, Wu Jing also talked about his life experience and ideals. Huan Chang felt that this person was useful, and immediately became more enthusiastic.

The old military doctor didn't care about Huan Chang's conversation with Wu Jing, but only focused on treating the wound on his arm.

"Pfft!"

The sharp knife cut through the flesh on Huan Chang's arm, and blood spurted out immediately.

"Boom boom boom!"

Seeing that Huan Chang's arm was bleeding profusely, Shadow immediately stepped forward to apply acupuncture points for him, and the gurgling blood stopped immediately.

"Pfft!"

For this kind of thing, the old military doctor is no stranger to it, but the scalpel in the hands of the dedicated user keeps cutting off the rotten flesh near the wound.

Although Huan Chang was immune to all kinds of poisons, the flesh and blood outside the wound was still corroded by the poison and looked rotten.

In order to ensure that the wound can heal as soon as possible, it is imperative to remove the rotten flesh.

The scalpel kept dancing, and the severe pain hit the brain from the arm, but Huan Chang didn't seem to respond at all, and he was still chatting and laughing with Wu Jing.

The old military doctor kept observing Huan Chang's face during the process of cutting out the rotten flesh, and secretly admired him when he saw that he didn't respond.

It didn't take long for the rotten flesh to be cut off, and the old military doctor looked at the arrow that shot into the bone, and his face became serious.

"Master Shadow, please help to pull out the arrow first, and try to pull it out with the arrow, otherwise it will be difficult."

Shadow heard the words without any hesitation, grabbed the arrow with his right hand like lightning, and pulled it out with a sudden force.

At the same time, Huan Chang couldn't help but frown, but he still didn't show any pain.
