Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 72 Recovery Hope

This time, Zhao Chen lay down for another three days, and three days later, he woke up again! It's just that not only his face has that creepy dead gray, but his whole body's skin has turned dead gray! His hair gradually lost its luster, and his eyes were bloodshot!

Zhao Chen felt dazed, his whole body was unusually heavy, and it was difficult for him to raise his hand!

At this moment, he suddenly saw a person lying on the head of the bed! That man has white hair all over his head, so who else is it not Li Gang?

"Teacher!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but whispered.

Only when the voice came out did he feel his throat hurt to the extreme! All of a sudden, he almost fainted!

He closed his eyes gently, panting heavily! At this moment, Li Gang woke up!

"His Royal Highness, you...you...are you awake?" Li Gang said excitedly.

"Yes, I'm awake! However, I'm afraid I won't live long!" Zhao Chen smiled wryly.

Three days ago, when he woke up, he felt chills all over his body! Now that he woke up again, he couldn't feel the cold feeling all over his body, and was replaced by a feeling of numbness! His body was extremely numb, as if this body no longer belonged to him! Even with his medical knowledge, he knew that the current situation was much more serious than a few days ago! I was seriously injured in the first place, and now I was attacked by a deadly poison. I am afraid that if I want to survive, it will be as difficult as heaven!

"Your Highness, don't despair, we have already gone to the famous doctors in the world! When those famous doctors arrive, we will definitely be able to cure His Royal Highness!" Li Gang said with tears.

"I don't want to despair! But I've been injured one after another, and I've become what I am now. It's hard not to despair!" Zhao Chen smiled wryly again.

"Your Highness, as long as you are not dead, you cannot despair! You have to believe that there is still hope! We also have to believe that the crown prince can be cured!" Li Gang said.

Zhao Chen was silent for a long time, nodded, and said, "What you said also makes sense!"

"His Royal Highness, Yue Fei and Wang De have already invited a famous doctor! As long as that famous doctor arrives, His Highness's injury will definitely be cured!" Li Gang said.

"Oh? Are the two of them dispatched at the same time? What kind of famous doctor? Where is it?" Zhao Chen asked.

"That doctor is a Taoist priest, and he is now practicing in Zhongnan Mountain! His medical skills are extremely high! Your Highness, you must persist, at least until the Taoist priest arrives!" Li Gang said.

"Taoist? Who could it be?" Zhao Chen asked secretly. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The teacher is right, I will hold on for at least a while! I'm not dead yet, there is still hope of healing! Before I completely die, I will persist! I want to see this thief God, he brought me to this era and made me suffer so much, is it just to let me die? I don’t believe it Even if this is the case, I still want to fight against heaven and fate. Man will conquer nature, and I must survive! Teacher, please bring me some porridge first, and I will eat some first! At least I can’t starve to death here! "

Suddenly there was a sense of grief and indignation in his heart, grief and indignation towards God and fate! Originally, he was a senior high school student in the modern society, living a good life, but God just let him travel to Song Dynasty! It's okay to come to the Song Dynasty, and he became a prince, but this prince has not been a long time, he is about to ruin his country and family, and is forced to flee! From last winter to today, he has been on the way to escape! After finally coming to Hanzhong and settling down, he was assassinated again! After being assassinated, he was lucky enough to survive, but his internal organs and meridians were damaged. Others asserted that he would not live to be 20 years old! Afterwards, the unusually gentle A Yao took care of him, but who knew that A Yao was also an assassin and wanted to kill him completely with poison!

He felt a strong injustice in his heart! He didn't understand why fate was so unfair!

"God doesn't let me live, I just want to live! Not only do I want to live, I also want to live well! I want God to see who I am, Zhao Chen, and whether I, Zhao Chen, can live Go on, can I, Zhao Chen, step on all the enemies and all the dangers!" His face once again revealed a look of determination!

"Jurchen, King Kang Zhaogou, Zhe Keqiu, Assassin...and Ayao, you...I will not let you go! Aren't you going to kill me? I just won't let you do what you want!" Zhao Chen secretly said .

Over there, Li Gang had already brought in the porridge, and he served Zhao Chen to eat the porridge. Seeing the firm light in Zhao Chen's eyes, he was overjoyed! No matter what, as long as Zhao Chen himself is not in despair, he still has the hope of living! If Zhao Chen himself is desperate, I'm afraid Zhao Chen really won't live for a few days!

Yue Fei and Wang De are galloping towards the north on their steeds!

They gradually walked out of the Hanzhong Basin and came to the higher mountains! The weather at this time was already very hot, but the two had profound internal strength, especially Yue Fei had already reached the realm of invulnerability to cold and heat, so the heat did not have much effect on them! It's just that the horses under their feet couldn't be the same as them. At this moment, the horses were covered with sweat!

"Two months ago, we just left from Dashan Pass, and now we have to go through Dashan Pass again!" Wang De said, looking at the pass in the distance.

It turns out that they are not far away from the Dasan Pass now!

"That's right! Who would have thought that so many things would happen after leaving Dasan Pass! We were ordered to protect His Highness, but His Highness was repeatedly injured! I am really guilty!" Yue Fei said sadly.

"Assassin's tricks are endless, and you can't just blame you!" Wang De said.

"If I catch those assassins, I will definitely smash them into pieces!" Yue Fei gritted his teeth.

"Those assassins should all be members of the devil's way!" Wang De said.

"People in the devil's way? Has General Wang found out about them?" Yue Fei said.

"That's not the case! The whereabouts of people in the devil's way are secretive, and they ignore all principles and morals! I seem to have heard the names of Xiaoyaozi and the queen, and they are the top masters in the devil's way! However, now is not the time to settle accounts with them. Now we We must first find someone to cure His Highness!" Wang De said.

"General Wang, is that Taoist priest really as magical as you said?" Yue Fei asked.

"I'm afraid it's even more miraculous than what I said! That Taoist priest has a great reputation in Hanzhong. He was originally from a wealthy family, and he once passed the Jinshi examination, and then became a Taoist priest for some reason! He traveled around, hanging pots to help the world, and solved all the problems Miscellaneous diseases, he can cure them with medicine! Moreover, he is especially good at treating poisonous injuries, no matter it is all kinds of snake poisons, he can cure them! I heard that he once went to Tiannan, there is a Jianghu sect called Five The Poison Sect is very good at using poison! Once someone was injured by the Five Poison Sect, and all the famous doctors in Tiannan were helpless, and he was cured by the medicine! I found out the accurate information and knew that he was a peerless famous doctor, so I went here Invite him! As long as you invite him, His Highness' poisonous wound will definitely be cured!" Wang De said.

"I hope so!" Yue Fei nodded.

The sky was getting dark, but the two still didn't stop, they continued to ride on their horses! In the middle of the night, they finally arrived at the bottom of Dasan Pass!

At this moment, the Dasan Pass is guarded by the Zhejia Army, but it is dark night, and the soldiers of the Zhejia Army have already fallen asleep! Even on the city wall of Dashan Pass, there are not many Zhejia soldiers! The discipline of the Zhe family army was loose, and after the golden soldiers retreated, they had long since returned to their original state!

Yue Fei and Wang De shouted loudly below, finally someone came!

"Who are you guys? What are you screaming down there in the middle of the night?" It was a lieutenant who appeared, and the lieutenant asked coldly.

"Open the city gate quickly! We have to go there!" Yue Fei shouted.

"Nonsense! In the middle of the night, how can I let you pass the test! If you keep yelling, I'll let someone shoot you with arrows!" The lieutenant said in a cold voice, impatient.

"I'm here under the order of General Zhe Keqiuzhe! Here is his token!" Yue Fei said.

"What?" Hearing this, the lieutenant above was taken aback!

Although they were arrogant and domineering towards ordinary people, he was taken aback when he heard that the following two people came here on the order of a discount!

Yue Fei had already taken out the token, but it was dark now, and the top was so far from the bottom, the lieutenant at the top couldn't see the token below at all! It's just that the lieutenant general didn't check, but immediately ordered people to open the city gate and let Yue Fei and Wang De in!

"This is the token!" Yue Fei and Wang De galloped into Dasan Pass, and Yue Fei took out the token again, saying.

"Okay! You two came here on the orders of General Zhe! I don't know what orders the general has?" The lieutenant looked flattering! He recognized the appearance of the token, it was the highest-level token of the Zhefu, and it usually meant that there was something urgent! On weekdays, the lieutenant would never see such a token at all!

"It's a secret! I can't tell you! Prepare a few fast horses for us quickly, we're leaving now!" Yue Fei said.

"Going away?" The deputy general was taken aback, and said, "Where are the two generals going in this dark night?"

"We are going to Mount Zhongnan to do business, so don't delay for a moment! You quickly open the gate to the north and let us pass!" Yue Fei said.

Seeing that the two were in such a hurry, the deputy general also knew that something great must have happened! At that moment, the lieutenant hurriedly prepared horses and opened the north gate of the city. After Yue Fei and Wang De got new horses, they left without a trace! Looking at the backs of the two, the lieutenant secretly guessed what happened in Hanzhong!

Zhao Chen was assassinated, seriously injured, and poisoned. Although he is dying now, the news has not been widely spread! Zhe Keqiu has been strictly controlling the news, and Zhe Keqiu even has other plans in mind! If Zhao Chen is really dying of illness, it is even possible to kill all the insiders, and then find a young man to replace Zhao Chen as the prince, so as to achieve his plan to coerce the emperor to make the princes! Of course, there are too many loopholes in doing so! Li Gang, Li Ruoshui, Wang De, Yue Fei and others all knew about Zhao Chen, and so did the countless soldiers of the Zhejia Army outside Qianqing Palace! If he really wants to find someone to replace Zhao Chen, there are too many people who know about it, and it will be leaked sooner or later! Therefore, if it is not a last resort, Zhe Keqiu will not do that!

*** ***

Yue Fei and Wang De came out of Dasan Pass, headed north all the way, and gradually came to the boundary of Fengxiang Mansion!

After arriving here, it was already dawn, and the two headed towards the east!

It was extremely desolate along the way, they saw countless dilapidated villages, and countless corpses exposed in the wilderness! The Jurchens invaded, killing countless people wherever they went! I don't know how many ordinary people died under the Jurchen's iron hoof! Even if there are no dead, many have already been driven by the Jurchens, heading north!

The Jurchens rose between the white mountains and the black waters. Their fighting power is extremely strong, but they have a great disadvantage, that is, their population is too small! They are even far inferior to the Khitan people of the Liao Kingdom! The combined number of all the Jurchens will not exceed one million! So they need population!

For the Jurchens, apart from plundering wealth, another important purpose of war is to plunder the population! After each war, the Jurchens have to drive a large number of people to the north! This is also the plan Wanyan Agu made at the beginning. They want to turn their strong military power into a strong national power. They want to establish a new powerful country in the north out of thin air, making the originally desolate north prosperous! In the later generations, when the Jurchens rose again in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, this was also their basic national policy. One of the main purposes of their wars was still to plunder the population and increase national power by virtue of the population!

Two months ago, Jin Wushu came all the way to Fengxiang Mansion! But later Jurchen Grand Marshal Wanyan Zonghan wanted to transport a large amount of wealth and population from Kaifeng to the north, so Jin Wushu had to retreat to Chang'an! However, along the way, he also drove a large number of people towards Chang'an, so this area is now extremely desolate, with no population!

Yue Fei and Wang De stayed awake for seven consecutive days, and finally in the afternoon of this day, they came to the foot of the main peak of Zhongnan Mountain!
