The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 39 039 Blood Stained Pagoda

Zhang Yan carefully selected a thousand Danyang soldiers who were good at fighting that night, and planned to take them to ambush outside Futu Temple in Xiapi tomorrow.

Xu Sheng finally came to Pengcheng with a trace of exhaustion when he was in the middle of the night.

Zhang Yan asked someone to prepare some food for Xu Sheng, and specially vacated an empty room in the prefect's mansion for Xu Sheng to live in.

After Xu Sheng ate and drank enough, he was exhausted and soon fell asleep.

Looking at Xu Sheng who was sleeping soundly, Zhang Yan suddenly thought of a very important matter, so he went to look for Fan Ah overnight.

In order to allow Fan Ah to take better care of the two important wounded in the prefect's mansion in a timely manner, Zhang Yan specially arranged a residence for Fan Ah.

At this time, Fan Ah, who had been busy all day, had already fallen asleep, and suddenly heard a hasty knock on the door, and asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Zhang Yan." A deep voice came from outside the door.

After hearing this voice, Fan Ah immediately jumped up from the bed, no longer dozing off, and hurried to the door to open it for Zhang Yan.

The moment the door opened, Fan Ah said with a smile on his face: "My lord is looking for me late at night, is there something urgent?"

"It's really urgent...can we go into the house and talk about it?"

Fan A hurriedly invited Zhang Yan into the room, Zhang Yan didn't talk nonsense with Fan A, and asked straight to the point: "Is your master still in Pengcheng?"

"What a coincidence, my master just left Pengcheng yesterday."

"Where did you go?"

"Master didn't say anything, and I didn't ask. But my master is heading west. If I'm not wrong, master should be going to Peiguo."

"Tomorrow morning, I will give you a horse. If you can bring your master back, just say that I have something to ask."

"This..." Difficulty appeared on Fan Ah's face.

"What? You won't?"

"It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't ride a horse..."

"So that's the case, then I will give you a carriage and have someone drive it for you. You sit in the carriage and chase your master back."

"My lord, my master has a weird temper. If there is no fatal illness, even if you give him mountains of gold and silver, he will not come back. I don't know if my lord asked me to chase my master. Did I encounter some stubborn illness?"

"I don't have a stubborn illness, but I just want to ask my teacher to detoxify me."

After Fan Ah heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency has been poisoned?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhang Yan's hand and began to feel his pulse.

After a while, Fan Ah said slowly: "My lord's pulse is stable, his complexion is rosy, and his blood is strong, it doesn't seem like he has been poisoned..."

Zhang Yan withdrew his hand and said, "I'm not the one who was poisoned, and it's useless for you to call my pulse."

"The little one is so abrupt, I hope the adults don't blame him."

"It's okay." Zhang Yan stood up and said to Fan A, "Then it's settled like this. You will chase your master back early tomorrow morning."

Seeing that Zhang Yan was about to leave, Fan Ah suddenly said: "My lord, in fact... In fact, Fan Ah is also proficient in medical skills. Although not as good as Master's medical skills, I have been studying acupuncture and moxibustion, medicine stones, and various poisons. Can you give the little one a try, if the poison can be cured, then there is no need to bother Master and the old man."

After hearing this, Zhang Yan also felt that what Fan Ah said was reasonable. After all, Hua Tuo was a person who was not easy to control. If Fan Ah's medical skills could be justified, then keeping Fan Ah by his side would be a good thing.Let's take a dead horse as a living horse doctor, let's use this to see Fan Ah's medical skills.

"Okay then, you come with me."

Zhang Yan brought Fan Ah to Xu Sheng's room. He felt that Xu Sheng had been tired all day and he didn't want to wake him up, so he tiptoedly opened Xu Sheng's door and walked in with Fan Ah.

"Who?" As soon as Xu Sheng, who was sleeping soundly, heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately jumped off the bed, instantly took out two short knives from his arms with both hands, held them tightly, and was already in the posture of attacking.

Xu Sheng's vigilant reaction opened Zhang Yan's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "It's me!"

"Master? Why are you here?" Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Yan's voice, and put his weapon back.

At this time, Fan Ah took out a fire pocket from his bosom, lit the candles in the room, reflected the faint light, and suddenly saw Xu Sheng's face, and said: "The face is dark, the hair is red, the eyes are green, and the center of the brow is dark. Zi...how did you get poisoned like this?"

Hearing Fan Ah's words, Zhang Yan immediately asked, "Do you know what kind of poison he was poisoned by?"

Fan A nodded and said, "This is the poison of Zi Luocha!"

"Zi Luocha?" Zhang Yan and Xu Sheng said in unison.

"Yes, this poison is extremely overbearing. It was introduced from the Western Regions, and it is not owned by me. Anyone who suffers from this poison usually has a black face, red hair, and green eyes. It shows that this person has been poisoned deeply, and he has not lived for long. Once the poison occurs, the skin will fester first, then the hands and feet, and finally the internal organs. Anyone who touches the skin of a person with poisoned hair will also be infected with this poison, and its spread is very strong."

"This poison is so powerful, is there a way to break it?" Zhang Yan asked.

Fan Adao: "Yes, there is, but it is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fail, and your life will be in danger."

"If you can remove the poison from my body, I won't be afraid of any danger. I don't know what the solution is?" Xu Sheng was silent for a moment before he said.

"Fighting poison with poison!"

Zhang Yan asked: "How sure are you of the method of fighting poison with poison?"

"It's very small. Don't try it unless it is absolutely necessary." Fan A said.

Xu Sheng thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said to Zhang Yan: "Master, when I come back from Xiapi, let him detoxify me!"

"But, I'm worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about. Instead of being tortured by toxins, it's better to give it a try."

"Well then, after returning from Xiapi, I'll let him detoxify you."

After Fan Ah heard this, he also had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. At the same time, it was time to show off his medical skills. Although he had only a little hope, he was full of confidence.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yan gathered the [-] Danyang soldiers who had been carefully selected yesterday, and Xu Sheng was also brought with him. The group brought enough dry food and headed for Xiapi in a mighty way.

Xu Sheng had been in Futu Temple for a long time, and he was very familiar with the terrain of Xiapi. Zhang Yan took them as a guide and took them to Futu Temple in Xiapi.

After entering the boundary of Xiapi, what Zhang Yan saw was completely different from that of Pengcheng. Every time he walked a short distance, he could see a temple.There are countless fertile fields beside the temple, but in some places far away from the temple, the fields are barren, forming a great contrast.

The common people go to the temple in groups, eat and live next to the temple, what's more, they also take the initiative to help the monks in the temple.

Zhang Yanma hurriedly arranged a meeting place with his subordinates, asked Xu Sheng to take them, and went to Futu Temple by himself to investigate.

Futu Temple is located on Yangshan Mountain, two miles southwest of Xiapi City. It is the first of many temples in Xiapi. It has more than 180 Buddhist pavilions, magnificent, magnificent and magnificent, and the golden statues are lifelike.The temple is surrounded by green cypresses, exotic flowers and plants, and is lush.

Before arriving at Futu Temple, you can already feel the Buddha's light here from a distance, but seeing the countless Buddha statues carved on the mountain painted with gold, under the sunshine, refracted to every corner at the foot of the mountain, it really gives people a kind of Buddha's light. Feel.

At the foot of the mountain, you can clearly hear the sound of chanting sutras and the sound of bells ringing from the Futu Temple.

Zhang Yan rode a horse and wandered around for a long time, seeing the terrain here clearly, and then left.

When he was leaving, he glanced at Xiapi City, but he saw that Xiapi City had a tall wall, densely covered with flags and banners, and the majestic city stood on the ground. Compared with the dilapidated Pengcheng, Xiapi City was a hundred times better?
At this moment, Zhang Yan had a plan in mind. He was thinking about how to occupy Xiapi after killing Ruo Rong.

He rode back to the place where he met Xu Sheng and others, and found a deserted village nearby, where everyone gathered to keep out the cold.

After spending the night quietly, at dawn the next day, Zhang Yan divided the 1000 people into two groups, and asked Xu Sheng to lead a group to hide behind Xiapi City secretly, while he led five hundred Danyang soldiers together Headed towards Futu Temple.

After some observation yesterday, Zhang Yan found the best ambush spot. He spread [-] soldiers on both sides of the road, secretly ambush, and prepared to kill Ruo Rong on the only way from Xiapi to Futu Temple. .

At Chen Shi, the city gate of Xiapi slowly opened, and Ruo Rong, escorted by three hundred cavalry, drove out of the city in single file.Today is the first day of October, and it is time for him to go to Futu Temple to enjoy fasting again.

Ruo Rong didn't wear a helmet or armor today, but just wore a cassock as usual.

He rode on horseback, surrounded by everyone, and approached the Futu Temple step by step. When he thought of the new nuns in the temple, he got a little excited.

From Xiapi to Futu Temple, it was only a little over two miles, but Ruo Rong walked extremely slowly.Every few steps, he would stop and recite a Buddhist scripture before he started on the road.

Ruo Rong is from Danyang. He is cruel by nature. He was once bloodthirsty and often had nightmares at night.By chance, he came into contact with Buddhism, thinking that his sinful life can only be resolved by Buddhism.Since then, he has been obsessed with Buddha.

But in his bones, his banditry has not changed, he kills like hemp, and often rapes women to satisfy his inner desires.But whenever he did something bad, he would think of using Buddha to resolve it. Over time, his love for Buddha became a way for him to exonerate his crimes and cleanse his soul.

On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, he apparently went to Futu Temple to listen to the Dharma, but only he knew that after listening to the Dharma, he would do some shady things.

Today, it is no exception.

Like a snail, Ruo Rong finally climbed to the ambush circle preset by Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan's eyes gleamed like poisonous snakes. After Ruo Rong completely entered the ambush circle, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Whoosh!"

But when he heard the sound of strings, a feathered arrow flew out and headed towards Ruo Rong. Ruo Rong, who was defenseless at all, would never have dreamed that his life would end today.

"puff!"

An arrow pierced through the throat, and Ruo Rong fell from the horse without even screaming, and the blood splashed all over the ground, staining the land at the foot of Futu Temple red...
