Rise of the Heavens

Chapter 28 Food and Grass

But before more than a dozen cavalrymen set off, they saw two blood-stained yellow scarf soldiers rushing over.

One of the yellow scarf soldiers shouted in panic: "Shuai Qu, it's not good. Lieutenant Wu was shot by a crossbow arrow when he attacked Gejiabao. Now he's about to die!"

Really afraid of something, Huang Shao's eyes shrank suddenly, startled and angry. "What's going on? Wu Ding is a warrior of the third level of strength training. How could he miss a small village fortress?"

The yellow scarf soldier was terribly frightened by Huang Shao, and hurriedly said in a trembling voice: "Qi Shuai, Captain Wu did not miss, he has already broken through the Gejiabao, and got a lot of food and grass!"

"However, after breaking through the Gejiabao, Captain Wu took a fancy to a woman and said he wanted to snatch her back to serve Qu Shuai. Unexpectedly, there was a scholar in the Gejiabao. A crossbow on the ground shot Lieutenant Wu seriously!"

"Damn idiot!"

Huang Shao clenched his fists tightly, anger welling up in his heart.He stared at the yellow scarf soldier, and asked, "Where is that scholar? Have you caught him?"

The Yellow Turban soldiers didn't dare to meet Huang Shao's eyes, and lowered their heads to report, "That scholar moved too fast, so he ran away, but he was shot by two arrows and seriously injured, and he definitely won't survive three days!"

Huang Shao laughed back angrily, pointed at the Yellow Turban soldier, and didn't want to say a word.

Gao Cheng heard movement outside the forest, looked up, and saw that two to 3000 men under Wu Ding's command were pushing wooden carts slowly. There were bags of grain piled up on the cart, and all the grain and grass added up were enough to feed 2 people. a few days.

When Huang Shao saw Wu Ding's men coming back with grain and grass, his expression softened a little, and he immediately took Gao Cheng forward, took out the grain cart, and checked it. The quality of the grain was good.

He nodded, Wu Ding didn't forget his business.With these food and grass, the urgent need can be solved for the time being.

Gao Cheng swept his eyes and saw a carriage behind this group of soldiers. Wu Ding's subordinate Zhao Che was standing beside the carriage with a worried look on his face.

"Brother Zhao, I heard that Brother Wu was seriously injured. How is he doing now? Is he in danger?" Gao Cheng stepped forward and asked.

He seemed to hear a voice from outside, and a weak voice came from the carriage, "Is it brother Ziming? Thank you for your concern, hey, this time the boat capsized in the gutter and almost lost his life!"

Gao Cheng's eyes were sharp, and through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, he saw Wu Ding lying on the carriage with a pale face. His breath had stabilized and his life should not be in danger.

The yellow turban soldier who came to report just now said that he was seriously injured and was about to die. He didn't expect the injury to heal so quickly!After thinking about it, Wu Ding should have used Taiping Fushui.

The talisman water of Taiping Dao has the function of treating serious injuries. Although it is not a magic medicine for life and death, for those who often fight on the battlefield, an extra piece of Taiping talisman water is equivalent to an extra life.

"Since Brother Ang is fine, I can rest assured! Brother Ang should rest well, and I have to take my leave beforehand." Gao Cheng smiled, then turned around, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

He suddenly thought of Wanju who was injured by Le Xiong a few days ago.If Wu Ding could generously give away a piece of peace talisman at that time, maybe Wanju would have survived the night attack.

This thought circled Gao Cheng's mind, and then disappeared. Wu Ding didn't owe him anything, and no one would give away the peace talisman that could save his life.

Seeing that Wu Ding was seriously injured and almost died, Gao Cheng understood the importance of a healing talisman for a soldier.It's just a pity that it was a pity that he lost his life in venting his anger for Gao Tai.

Not long after Wu Ding led his men back, Zuo Bao also rushed back with his soldiers, but he didn't bring much food and grass, and he hurried to find Huang Shao as soon as he came back, as if there was something urgent.

Gao Cheng stood on a big tree at the edge of the forest and looked out from a distance. When the sky was getting late, the light red glow covered the sky, and the clouds in the distance were like burning flames, dyeing the sky and the earth red. .

"Finally home!"

Gao Cheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. On the ground far away, two thousand soldiers came slowly with a large amount of luggage.He saw Gao Tai and Zhang Chen in the crowd at a glance.

Not long after, Gao Tai led his people back to the forest, and quickly walked out after seeing Gao Cheng, "Young Master, this time, my subordinates broke through two village fortresses and got six hundred shi of grain and grass! I'm here to give you an order!"

Six hundred stones of grain and grass!It can feed 3000 people for half a month, which is enough to support the consumption of soldiers and horses under Gao Cheng's command.It seems that the harvest is not as good as that of Wu Ding, but Gao Cheng is very clear that Wu Ding can search so much food and grass. In addition to looting the rich and powerful, he must also wantonly search the common people.

"Uncle Gao, thank you for your hard work!" Gao Cheng patted his shoulder and sighed.

The wheels were rolling, and there were bags of grain on them. Gao Tai asked Zhang Chen to take someone to transport the grain and grass back. Seeing that there was no one around, he said in a low voice: "Young master, I have something to report!"

Gao Cheng frowned, and said, "If you have something to say, Uncle Gao, just say it."

Gao Tai said: "When I led the soldiers back, I saw a seriously injured young man on the road. I saw that this man had an extraordinary temperament, and he was most likely a son of a noble family, so I asked someone to bring him back."

The boy who was seriously injured, could he be a member of a family?Gao Cheng's heart skipped a beat, thinking of what the Yellow Turban soldier had just said when he reported the situation in front of Huang Shao.

"What kind of injury did he suffer? A knife wound or an arrow wound?" Gao Cheng asked.

Gao Tai replied: "It's an arrow wound. There are two in total. One is on the shoulder and the other is on the chest. It seems to have injured the meridians between the heart and lungs. I'm still unconscious!"

Gao Cheng secretly said in his heart that it is true.The boy he rescued was the scholar who almost shot Wu Ding to death. "Uncle Gao, when you saved this person, how many people saw it?"

Gao Tai frowned and thought for a while, then said: "It's just Zhang Chen and a few ordinary soldiers. This young man passed out in the grass at that time. When I brought him out, there were not many people nearby."

Gao Cheng nodded, first briefly told him about Wu Ding, and then said softly: "Uncle Gao, since the man has been rescued, let's save him to the end, and tell Zhang Chen and those people not to talk nonsense after returning! So as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Gao Tai was silent for a moment, he didn't expect that the boy he rescued had the ability to kill Wu Ding, a warrior who trained in strength.He said in a deep voice: "Young Master's words are very true, I will go and explain it right away."

After finishing speaking, Gao Tai cupped his hands, turned around, and walked quickly towards Zhang Chen's direction. Both he and Zhang Chen were calm people, and Gao Cheng was very relieved of them.

Looking at the back of Gao Tai leaving, Gao Cheng suddenly laughed, "Interesting. If you don't take a bow and arrow, Wu Ding's strength is still higher than mine. This scholar almost killed Wu Ding, and he can still be chased by thousands of people." Get away with killing! Even I can't do this! I want to see what kind of person he is!"

"According to what the yellow turban soldier who sent the message said, this young man was seriously injured and survived for only three days. I don't know if it is true? Let's meet him first. If it is worth wooing, then find a way to save his life!"
