Chapter 150 The Falling Star
It was dusk in the afternoon.
All enemy troops in Wuheng County were withdrawn.
Seeing this, Gu Chan quickly ordered the two baby snakes to sacrifice the spiritual mist to detoxify everyone who was poisoned by the snake venom.
Naturally, the two baby snakes followed the instructions exactly. Just after dark, they covered the entire city with spiritual mist, detoxifying the snake venom from everyone's bodies.
However, the reality did not develop as Gu Chan expected.
The snake venom has been cured, but people are still dying slowly.
All of those who died were elderly people in poor health, as well as a group of people who were frail and sick.
In the corridor on the third floor at night.
Gu Chan stood by the railing, listening to the cries in the city, and she finally shed tears of pain.
"I'm sorry, everyone. I meant to save you, but I accidentally killed so many people. I'm guilty."
"Buddha, Sanqing, Guanyin Bodhisattva, God! Please forgive me!"
She muttered to herself as she cried.
At this time, Ma Zheng came to her and said in her ear, "Boss, why are you crying?"
"It's okay, I'm just sad that so many people died." Gu Chan quickly covered it up.
"Boss, don't be sad. It's better for everyone to die like this than to be tortured to death by the enemy. And it's because of you that the Rat Fairy came. Now that the enemy has all withdrawn from the city, everyone is safe. This is all your credit!" Ma Zheng comforted in a low voice.
Gu Chan looked at him and asked seriously, "Let me ask you, if one hundred people died but one thousand people could be saved, what would you do?"
"Then we will definitely save those one thousand people!"
"But what if I don't want those hundred people to die?"
"Boss, how can you have your cake and eat it too? If you want to gain something, you will definitely lose something. This is life!"
Ma Zheng suddenly seemed to have grown up and said such a very philosophical statement.
Gu Chan's face was filled with relief when she heard this, and she couldn't help but reached out and patted his little head.
At this moment, he seemed to have a new understanding of the boy in front of him, and felt that he would definitely have a bright future in the future.
Ma Zheng said again, "Let's go, boss. Mr. Shen asked me to come up and call you. It's time to pack up and leave the city."
"Has everyone packed up?" Gu Chan asked.
"Well! It's just you. Now many people in the city have left the city first. We are the last ones." Ma Zheng explained.
Gu Chan nodded noncommittally.
After that, she no longer felt sad and immediately went to pack her luggage with Ma Zheng.
Half an hour later, more than 30 people in the medical center got on a dozen carriages and left with full luggage.
Gu Chan sat on the carriage and looked back at the empty medical clinic behind her that had been moved. She couldn't help saying, "Goodbye Chunfeng Medical Clinic. You are my first asset after traveling through time. Now I can only abandon it." You left."
"Life is always like this. You can't stay in one place forever. Maybe when I go to the Central Plains in the future, I can start a new career again!"
Consoling herself like this in her heart, Gu Chan finally looked back and no longer missed the old days in her heart. Let the past go! There is still a long road ahead, and she must learn to keep looking forward.
Early the next morning.
When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone into the county town, the entire county town was already empty, as if it had turned into a dead city overnight, with no one inside.
Tens of thousands of people in the city had already formed a long queue, heading towards the Central Plains.
There were no pursuers behind everyone, because at this time Luo Changfeng was in a hurry to deal with the soldiers under his command who were poisoned by snake venom. What made him feel helpless was that in his eyes, this plague directly caused the death of his soldiers. Thousands of soldiers died.
When he joined the Earth-Moon Kingdom army that was halfway through the battle, many military doctors with strong medical skills in the army joined forces and finally brought the plague under temporary control.
Of course, they had no way to completely cure the powerful snake venom of the two snake babies. They could only station troops on the border, temporarily stop attacking the tiger camp, and start controlling the snake venom.
What Gu Chan didn't know was that her move not only saved tens of thousands of people in Wuheng County, but also created a breathing space for the Tiger Army.
At noon, inside the Tiger Army command building.
At this time, Long Zhen was lying on a soft bed, his face as pale as paper.
Many lieutenants of the Tiger Army stood in front of the bed, and Xue Lihua sat beside the bed, holding Long Zhen's hand tightly with both hands, crying uncontrollably.
Long Zhen stretched out his hand weakly and took out the Tiger Talisman, handed it into Xue Lihua's hands, and said extremely weakly, "Generals, listen to the order. Now I will pass on the position of Border General to Xue Lihua. From now on, everyone will listen to her orders and join her." Break through the encirclement and escort all the people back to the Central Plains."
"Yes, General." All the generals responded in unison.
Xue Lihua took the tiger talisman and held it tightly in her hand. She stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and shouted angrily, "Come here, bring the traitor here. I will kill him in front of the general and avenge him."
"Yes." The two soldiers agreed, and immediately brought Huang Yue up, and forced him to kneel in front of the bed.
Instead of being afraid, Huang Yue stared at Long Zhen, who was dying on the bed, and laughed proudly, "Long Zhen, Long Zhen, you, the great border general of Tiancang Kingdom, didn't expect that you would end up with such a miserable ending today, right? You He was supposed to die on the battlefield, but he ended up dying in my hands. This is really satisfying to me!”
"Bitch, the general treats you well, why are you rebelling and helping the enemy to poison him?" Xue Lihua stepped forward angrily and asked, raising her hand and slapping Huang Yue's shameless face.
Huang Yue roared fiercely, "Rebellion? Where did you start talking about this? Now that we have reached this point, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I am a member of the Diyue Kingdom. I came to lurk in the Tiger Army. I harmed him. It’s a just move, what’s wrong with it?”
"Okay! You bitch, I'll chop you down today." Xue Lihua was furious. She pulled out the long sword on her waist and prepared to chop off Huang Yue's head with one strike.
But at this moment, a soldier quickly ran in and reported, "General Qi Bing, the enemy general outside the camp sent a messenger, saying that as long as we release Huang Yue, the enemy will give up attacking the camp and let us withdraw to the Central Plains. "
"Let him go? Impossible, I have to kill him today." Xue Lihua gritted her teeth and roared.
But Long Zhen waved his hand to stop her and said, "Don't touch him. Go tell the enemy envoys. Just say that I, Long Zhen, agree to his terms of exchange, but we will need to retreat twenty miles before releasing him."
"Yes, General." The soldier responded and left to deliver the message.
Xue Lihua looked back at Long Zhen and said with great sadness, "General, we are fighting the enemy! How can we just retreat?"
"It's useless. The enemy army was too well prepared for this battle. We were defeated. If it weren't for Gu Chan's help, I'm afraid those tens of thousands of people wouldn't have been able to survive. It's all my fault for being too careless. The only thing I can do now is Just keep the backbone of the Tiger Army, and then you can return to the Central Plains to rest and have a chance to fight back to regain the border," Long Zhen said with a pale face.
After saying that, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and immediately closed his eyes and left in a whimper.
Xue Lihua and others all knelt down and cried bitterly, in great pain.
Only Huang Yue was kneeling on the ground and laughing proudly. His ugly face really made people want to cut him into pieces.
