...

The guards and generals guarding Hangu Pass finally took their soldiers to move the rocks in the valley to the entrance of the valley.

But at this moment, all I saw was a messy scene.

There were countless corpses and horses in the valley a mile away from the entrance of the valley. The broken corpses and broken limbs covered the entire valley. Hundreds of carriages overturned and overturned, blood mixed with sand and gravel were still gathering and flowing. The chaotic crowd at the entrance of the valley had already scattered in panic, and the bandits also ran away. Dozens of corpses and countless people wailing in blood on the thorny grass and cement roads were still closed.

Then there was another bad news that scared them. The Qinghe Hou was ambushed in the valley, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties. Moreover, the Qinghe Hou himself was assassinated and was shot in an arrow, and was deeply poisoned and was already unconscious.

After Chen Xu was bandaged by Yu Wuya and others, he had already found several vanished carriages near the valley, and then took Jiang Chuyue to return to Xianyang to find a good doctor to treat him, while Xiao He, Liu Bang, Cao Shen and others stayed to deal with the aftermath.

The distance from Hangu Pass to Xianyang is more than 500 miles. The guards in front of him yelled to open the way with the token of the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion. Dozens of uninjured guards and young men were escorting with swords and guns. The caravans and pedestrians passing along the way quickly rode their horses to the side of the road. Shortly after waiting for Chen Xu and others to pass, an extremely shocking news came from the direction of Hangu Pass.

The Hou of Qinghe was ambushed by bandits at Hangu Pass and fell into a coma by poisoning arrows.

The news seemed to be a thunderous sound that shocked everyone on the Oriental Road. Countless merchants and pedestrians even left their carriages and drove their horses to chase Qinghe Hou, all wanting to find out the news more clearly.

The carriage galloped on the flat-spread oriental road and arrived near Huayin County after an hour. Not only did Chen Xu's situation not improve at all, but the water that absorbed poisonous blood began to become drowsy. Yu Wuya had to arrange for the convoy to park in the service area near Huayin County and look for a doctor to treat it on the spot.

After learning that the Qinghe Hou was ambushed at Hangu Pass and stayed in Huayin in danger, a group of officials from Huayin County suddenly burst into deceased and quickly summoned famous medical priests in the county to go to the service area for diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, he quickly rushed to send 400 miles of news that might have caused chaos in the world to the county town and Xianyang.

However, after dozens of local medical priests in Huayin County observed the wound and diagnosed them, they all shook their heads and sighed. Although they also prescribed countless prescriptions and decocted medicines, Chen Xu showed no sign of improvement after an hour.

Only one of the alchemists recognized the possible juice of aconitum that was applied to the arrows that shot Jiang Chuyue and Chen Xu.

When he heard that it was aconite, even Yu Wuya was shaking and his face was pale.

The toxicity of aconitum is studied in later generations. The main toxic component is aconitum, which is a strong neurotoxin and has the toxicity to severely damage the myocardial and kidneys. After entering the blood, it will soon destroy the immune function of the internal organs, and a few milligrams can cause death.

Although doctors of this era do not know the ingredients of aconitine, they all know that aconitine is highly toxic.

Therefore, after Chen Xu got this extremely poison, everyone was helpless and could only keep giving Chen Xu various detoxification medicines.

However, the only good news is that the treatment was done in time at that time, there were not many toxins entering Chen Xu's body, and almost all the long arrows were blocked by Jiang Chuyue's body. Chen Xu's body was only half an inch deep, but even this small wound still had toxins entering the body.

"Senior brother, give... this Peiyuan Dan to your husband!"

Shui Qingrou handed Yu Wuya the small jade bottle containing Peiyuan Dan from her pocket. At this time, she could no longer sit cross-legged and could only lie on the couch. However, she also took many medicines. The situation seemed much better than Chen Xu, but she obviously had symptoms of poisoning. Her face was pale and her lips were dry. Her beautiful eyes were dim at this time and she lost her usual agility.

"Sister Shui, Peiyuan Pill does not detoxify, this is a waste, and Chen Xu is not at risk of his life at the moment. He will wake up after being in a coma for a few days." Xia Zijin couldn't help but persuade him.

"No, I can't watch my husband suffer this serious crime. If he hadn't bid farewell with gentleness and no farewell, he wouldn't have looked for me everywhere and wouldn't have suffered this injury. Although Peiyuan Pill does not detoxify, it has the effect of unblocking meridians and strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence. At least it can help my husband relieve the toxins in his body as soon as possible. As long as my husband is safe, there is no other way to ask for gentleness!" Shui Qingru's breathing was short and he was already a little drowsy when he spoke.

"Oh, okay, I'll give it to my benefactor!"

Yu Wuya also showed regret on his face and quickly went to feed Chen Xu with Peiyuan Dan.

Although this Peiyuan Pill is full of envy and yearning, it is an item given to his junior sister by his master. If he takes it and cooperates with the Taoist internal skills to practice, his skills will be greatly improved. People with good qualifications can reach the sky and break through the innate realm in one step and become a master of such a great sect that is not inferior to Huangshi Gong. However, if he is given to ordinary people who do not understand internal breathing cultivation, it will be at most equivalent to a kind of body-strengthening medicine. What's more, Chen Xu is currently poisoned and injured, and the absorption of the medicine will be greatly reduced. It is estimated that he can excrete toxins in advance. As for the effect of strengthening the body, it may not be too great.

But since the junior sister insisted, Yu Wuya naturally would not forcefully dissuade him.

After all, Chen Xu woke up one day earlier, so he could rest assured one day earlier. Now there are more than 300 miles away from Xianyang, and the situation on the road is unclear, so as not to have too many dreams. As for the reason why Master of the elixir gave it to his junior sister, Yu Wuya could naturally guess the number of points, but now he doesn't have much thought to discuss this matter.

Chen Xu was as dizzy as if falling into an ice cave. His whole body was cold and numb. At the same time, he felt that his internal organs were burnt in a burning fire. His soul was burnt when he was roasted. He was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. Even when he was awake, his soul was blurred and messy, as if he was in an extremely terrifying hell in the underworld. He was covered with bloody corpses and ghosts circling around him. He pounced on him and kept biting, as if he wanted to tear his soul into pieces. But no matter how he struggled and shouted, he was always like being pressed in ice water. He couldn't open his eyes and could only struggle helplessly.

Chen Xu, who took the Peiyuan Dan, shook slightly on the couch, and his hands and feet twitched slightly from time to time. Yu Wuya sat next to him and looked at Chen Xu without blinking.

When Chen Xu finally tried his best to spit out a mouthful of blood, he felt that his body had escaped the pain of the two heavens of ice and fire, and he relaxed a lot. After opening his eyes, he found that he had been in a closed room with the lights and candles on the desk shaking. The layout of the room seemed a bit familiar. Yu Wuya was sitting cross-legged on the chair next to meditating.

"My benefactor is awake!" Chen Xu woke up and Yu Wuya opened his eyes and asked quickly.

"This...what is this?" Chen Xu looked at the room with dizzy head and eyes. Although he woke up, he still felt like a ball of cotton was stuffed into his chest and couldn't breathe. The wound was so painful that it was numb. His body moved slightly and sweated in pain.

"My benefactor, we've arrived home!"

"Return to Xianyang?" Chen Xu stayed for half a minute.

"Well, the arrow that shot Jiang Chuyue and benefactor was highly poisonous. After being poisoned, I fell into a coma. I left Xiao He and Liu Bang and others at Hangu Pass for the aftermath and took their benefactor back to Xianyang in advance..."

Yu Wuya briefly told Chen Xu about what happened after he was poisoned and fell into a coma, but he omitted the matter of Peiyuan Dan because Shui Qingrou told him not to say it out.

After hearing this, Chen Xu naturally felt chills all over, and instantly became more aware of the methods used by the Qin Dynasty. He heard from Yu Wuya that aconite was a poisonous weed, Chen Xu was not unfamiliar with the aconite. His second grandfather was a Chinese medicine doctor when he traveled through time, so he naturally knew about various herbs. Aconite said it was a poisonous weed, but it was actually a medicine that could treat rheumatism and reduce swelling and relieve pain. Moreover, aconite grew a wide range of things. It is often heard in the countryside that there were cattle and sheep that died of eating aconite.

Chen Xu left Xianyang in a lively manner, but his life and death were uncertain when he came back. In addition, the memorial from Huayin County was urgently transmitted to Xianyang. Therefore, before Chen Xu returned to Xianyang, the Shaofu Order Zhao Wei personally took a group of imperial physicians and imperial physicians to Huayin to greet Chen Xu. However, they met in Weinan, and naturally stopped to diagnose and check the injuries. The accompanying imperial physician already knew that the poison of aconitum soaked in the long arrow was soaked in the long arrow, so he prescribed an antidote prescription after consultation.

After taking the decoction, Chen Xu had also taken a Peiyuan Pill, and his body's resistance was also increasing. Therefore, when he arrived in Weinan, Chen Xu's condition was actually gradually improving. After taking the decoction of the imperial physician and the imperial physician, the situation began to improve. Therefore, after staying in Weinan for half a day, under the escort of the imperial guards brought by Zhao Wei, Chen Xu returned to the Qinghe Hou Mansion in Xianyang on the evening of the third day after the ambush.

The news that Chen Xu was in a coma caused by ambush and poisoned arrows had already reached the Hou Mansion early yesterday morning, and soon swept across Xianyang like a hurricane. Ying Shiman, Meng Wan and Fan Caiying naturally burst into tears. The entire Hou Mansion was crying all over the sky, and passers-by all heard of it. Especially when Chen Xu returned to the Hou Mansion, he was carried off the carriage with blood and his eyes closed, several women almost fainted.

Fortunately, Yu Wuya and Shui Qingrou were also coming back at the same time. After a busy arrangement, the crying of the Hou Mansion slowly stopped. A group of imperial doctors and imperial doctors went in and out of the Hou Mansion like a lantern. It was not until after feeling that Chen Xu's condition had indeed stabilized, Zhao Wei left the two imperial doctors to take care of them carefully. The rest were sent back to the palace, and the Hou Mansion finally calmed down.

It was already midnight. After spending a few hours in the grief and heart, Ying Shiman and Meng Wan and Fan Caiying were both persuaded to go to bed by Yu Wuya. Therefore, Yu Wuya was the only one in the room at this time, and there were a few maids outside, but they were all in peace.

"How is Qingrou's situation now?" Chen Xu supported his arm and wanted to get up, but his whole body was soft and weak, and his head hurt as if he had been knocked on a hammer. He took a breath of cold air and dared not move.

"My dear brother, don't worry, my junior sister is fine after taking antidote decoction. She will reply in just a few days. However, my grandfather was deeply poisoned this time and it may take several months to fully recover. You should have a good rest and maybe you will get out of bed tomorrow." Yu Wuya said.

"Okay!" Chen Xu had no choice but to close his eyes. Although there were all kinds of strange sounds on his head, he had to start thinking about the consequences of this matter and the matters that needed to be arranged in advance.

He now knew that the Ji brothers were ambushing him, and the Xiang family was the Xiang family. Chen Xu could roughly guess the purpose of Xiang family assassinating him, that is, he might feel that the more he returned, the more hopeless Chu was, so they rushed to take the risk and wanted to kill him, then stir up chaos in the world, and then take the opportunity to cause trouble.

If Xiang knew that he did not have much harm in the ambush, then Xiang might continue to hide in Wuzhong or even scattered around and hide his identity. According to Xiang's ability, there were too many people from Chu who were willing to protect them, even many officials. If Xiang hid, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack with inconvenient transportation and underdeveloped communications and only more than 20 million people.

Zhang Liang assassinated the emperor and failed to catch him after three years. This is the best evidence.

Even the assassins who killed the emperor could not catch them, let alone the ones who killed him. The Qin Dynasty was vast and sparsely populated, and even the gods could not be found in the deep mountains and forests. If there were still gentry and officials to protect a few fake identities, there was basically no possibility of finding them.

Going out for a long trip or simply saying that it is basically more difficult and takes more time than going out for a country in later generations.

Therefore, Chen Xu could not keep Xiang's family and hide in the east, but wanted to catch them all in one go. Before he went to Wuzhong, Chen Xu might have the idea of ​​conquering Xiang's family, but after seeing Xiang's family, Chen Xu's idea became very weak. This time he was assassinated, Chen Xu had completely listed the Xiang family as a target that must be eradicated.

As for Xiang Yu... Chen Xu was a little confused. After all, Xiang Yu and Xiang Jing were here to stop him from assassinating him. Although Xiang Yu did not succeed, he still needed to make plans. If Xiang Yu did not participate, he might be able to let him go, because if Xiang Jing had not gone to Langya to find Chen Xu this time, Chen Xu knew that he would definitely not be able to escape this disaster and might be killed in the valley, because he saw with his own eyes that a boy dressed in him was shot to the ground. At present, he didn't know the life or death of the boy.

If Xiang is to be completely eliminated, then Xiang must be made to think that he is indeed seriously injured and unable to cure before he can jump out and rebel.

But as long as he rebels, he will have the greatest chance to get him all in one place.
