stand back, let me come

Chapter 1416: Seizing the Bridge and Blowing Up the Waterway (Part 1416) [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

Please listen to the question: A war horse is 1.8 meters tall at the shoulder, weighs more than 1,500 kilograms, and wears a suit of horse armor weighing more than 40 kilograms. If someone scratches its hemorrhoids, how much force can it exert when it panics and kicks?

Shen Tang said nothing, just counting how many ribs were broken.

At this moment, time seems to have been slowed down.

No one expected that their master would be kicked two miles away by a warhorse, nor did they dare to think that an ordinary warhorse could hurt their master who was in and out of the army seven times without taking a breath, and they even dared not think that their master would be injured. However, the superior hearing of the warriors made it impossible for them to ignore the crisp sound of the horse's hoof breaking the ribs.

"Lord——"

The guards on duty today are almost going crazy.

There were not many soldiers who were throwing stones at the enemy's catapults at the front line who were injured, but the master who was under strict protection in the rear was seriously injured and could not get up. This absurd scene frightened many soldiers and generals and they were a beat late before they hurried forward.

"Escort!"

"Quick escort!"

"Come and escort me!"

There is definitely a traitor plotting against the Lord!

Shen Tang's current state was extremely embarrassing, and it could be said to be the most humiliating one in her career! She was kicked by the warhorse and couldn't get up. Her right hand, which was covered with horse poop, was raised above her head. Her left hand was too weak to support her to stand up. She coughed and spit out blood, and breathed rapidly through her nostrils and mouth to suck in the dust on the ground, which made her choke even more. But there was a group of people who thought she was not embarrassed enough and shouted to protect the emperor, which made Shen Tang's blood pressure soar to 180.

"Shut up, what are you yelling about! Cough cough cough——"

She slowed her breathing and suppressed the dizziness caused by high blood pressure.

The warhorse was pinned down by the general who rushed over as a suspect, and lay on the ground neighing non-stop. Shen Tang knew that it was very wronged, but Shen Tang said that he was more wronged, especially when his hands were stained with a ball of stinking horse poop...

"Get some water!" The lingering sticky feeling on her hand made Shen Tang want to cut off her hand. Woohoo, her hand was dirty. Shen Tang suspected that every time she used this hand to eat in the future, she would be reminded of the experience of pinching horse manure and poking hemorrhoids today.

All the delicacies from land and sea have lost their charm.

Thinking of this bleak future, Shen Tang's blood pressure continued to soar. He gritted his teeth and said, "Kang! Ji! Shou!"

He will come back this time just to get his neck cleaned!

The most important thing now is how to avoid social death this time.

"Lord?"

Until Chu Yao's panicked and confused voice reached her ears and several familiar auras approached this side, Shen Tang closed her eyes in almost despair, and prayed to God sincerely for the first time in her heart - no matter whether she was a god or an immortal in her previous life, whether she was guilty or not, and no matter whether she was transcending tribulation or being tricked by God in this life, she just wanted to fast forward to the end of the world.

Destroy this bird world!

"Who's watching War Horse?"

Shen Tang wanted to respond, and forced a smile to comfort Chu Yao and say that he was fine, but who knew that the warhorse would do something weird again. It was so frightened by the sudden change that it farted in the direction of Shen Tang, and pooped while farting.

She vaguely felt that her blood pressure was dangerous.

The anger was amazing: "It's leaking, you know?"

The war horses transformed from martial energy naturally had no problem with eating, drinking, defecating or urinating, but living war horses did. During combat, the feeding and care of war horses was no small matter, and the grooms who raised war horses had to be very careful to ensure that they were in the best condition during combat.

The selection of war horses is not only based on their physical quality, but also requires emotional stability. The best are selected from generation to generation, and only those horses that can stably inherit various advantages can be selected as war horses.

It is almost impossible to be timid and easily frightened.

If the army is well taken care of, it is impossible for them to escape in front of the battlefield.

Even the bad luck brought by Kangshi, the plague god, could not come out of nothing. Instead, it was the low fortune that brought together various small-probability accidents, and then the quantitative change led to a qualitative change - hemorrhoids did not grow all at once, and diarrhea did not occur suddenly. There must be a reason for the smoke without a smoke.

Shen Tang said angrily: "Let the military commander come here!"

Damn, let her find out what's going on. She must throw the culprit onto the catapult and then send it to the other side through airmail!

Chu Yao was frightened by Shen Tang's miserable state and his heart rate soared for several breaths. He ordered the Xinglin doctor to come over and mobilized people to protect this place to prevent any more accidents. On the other side, Qi Shan, who realized that something was wrong with his condition, also hurried over.

I felt an unexplained sharp pain in my chest and my ribs broke.

It was as if he had been kicked by a warhorse.

External injuries are a minor matter. The most important thing is the internal injuries caused by the master's emotions: "Wuhui, the master is furious!"

The king and his subjects had served for many years, but it was rare that they had seen the master so angry.

Chu Yao looked up upon hearing the voice and recognized at a glance that Qi Shan looked unwell. This was not a sign of panic or worry, but a clear sign of blood rushing to the top. Thinking of the special connection between Qi Shan and his master, Chu Yao made a prompt decision and did something that could be described as outrageous - before anyone, including Shen Tang himself, could react, he knocked Shen Tang unconscious with a single blow of his hand!

Shen Tang was completely defenseless against Chu Yao, so he naturally didn't expect that he would be so cruel to him: "My neck——"

He stared with a pair of almond-shaped eyes, and fainted unwillingly.

Qi Shan felt a pain in her neck, and then stumbled forward a few steps. When she fainted, the negative state that Qi Shan felt was also relieved. Then, she felt a chill in her back, and a wave of fear surged in her heart. A large amount of sweat broke out on her forehead. The first time she went to the battlefield and watched thousands of people fighting, she had never felt so distressed. Today, she experienced firsthand what "flustered" meant: "My Lord, are you okay?"

On this side, Doctor Xinglin rushed over immediately after receiving the news from the king.

He is also an old acquaintance, Fang Yan.

Even though Fang Yan had experienced many ups and downs over the years, he lost his composure the first time he saw Shen Tang's miserable appearance, but he didn't show it on his face. He half-knelt on the ground and opened his portable medicine box: "Who on earth could hurt the master so much?"

This person has made many big mistakes by beating people above his level.

Based on Fang Yan's understanding of her, even if there were twenty Chehous in the enemy camp, they probably couldn't make her so miserable and haggard. It was really hard to imagine the scene. Look, her breastplate was violently cracked, and her face was covered with vomited blood.

How could a fight of this level be small?

I didn’t feel the earth shaking or the energy of heaven and earth in chaos just now.

Chu Yao didn't say who it was, but urged Fang Yan to treat Shen Tang quickly. Fang Yan didn't dare to delay any longer, for fear of missing the opportunity to treat him. After a diagnosis, Fang Yan's heart was relieved, but with it came more doubts - the seven or eight broken ribs did not hurt the internal organs, and they were all tightly wrapped by the thick and pure martial energy, which also reduced the difficulty of treatment for Fang Yan. He only needed to guide a little, align the broken bones in order, and promote healing to be fine - the martial energy of the Danfu was not consumed at all.

In other words, the injury was not caused by a strong enemy. Chu Yao saw the doubt in his eyes and said, "It was a horse's hoof."

Fang Yan was surprised: "Kicked by a horse's hoof?"

Qi Shan raised his voice and asked, "Was it really the horse that kicked him?"

Only a celestial horse raised by Bima Wen can have this ability, right?

Chu Yao changed the subject: "Is the master ill?"

Fang Yan said: "The ribs are fine, but the back of the neck was hit hard, and the cervical vertebrae were dislocated, so -"

By coincidence, her cervical vertebrae were broken.

Qishan: "..."

No wonder my neck hurts so much.

Chu Yao's face suddenly turned paler than a dead ghost. Fang Yan suspected that Chu Wuhui would stand up and draw his sword to commit suicide in the next second. He thought Chu Yao was worried about Shen Tang's safety, so he hurriedly comforted him, "But fortunately, it's just a minor injury, and it didn't hurt the cervical spinal cord."

The cervical vertebrae does sound scary, but which warrior who lives in troubled times has not had his bones broken? Ordinary people need to recover for a hundred days after breaking a bone, but a warrior who uses martial energy to fix the bone is a man/woman again.

Chu Yao let out a long sigh, his hands on his knees stopped shaking, and he kept muttering, "Very good, this is very good."

Fang Yan added: "It's just——"

"Fang Laoliu, can you please say it all in one breath?" Qi Shan couldn't stand the feeling of his heart rising and falling, so he maintained a weird and funny posture with his hands holding his head, hoping that Fang Yan could say everything in one breath and not torture him.

Fang Yan warned earnestly, "Master, your meridians are burned by heart fire, your Danfu is agitated, your Qi is stagnant and turns into fire, the heat consumes the Yin of the liver and kidneys, causing damage to the heart vessels and brain tubes. When you wake up, I will remind you to stay calm and not get angry again."

He had been Shen Tang's imperial physician for many years, and was very familiar with Shen Tang's pulse cases over the years. He knew that Shen Tang was an emotionally stable person, and would restrain himself even when he got angry. But when he took Shen Tang's pulse today, he found something unusual. Fang Yan couldn't imagine what earth-shattering event had caused her to lose control. This was the result of someone plotting to usurp the throne, right?

Fang Yan added cautiously, "The master has practiced both civil and military arts, and his meridians have been nourished by the civil and military energy for years. His toughness should be far better than that of his peers... It is not easy to damage him to this extent. Perhaps you two can investigate secretly?"

He was clearly telling Chu Yao that the two Shen Tangs might have been assassinated.

Otherwise it makes no sense at all.

Not to mention the brave warriors, the literary scholars are all strong and healthy - not to mention the oddballs like Gu Chi - the anger that can kill an ordinary person would at most cause a few painful feelings on a literary scholar, but the impact would be even smaller on a brave warrior.

Fang Yan suspected that some of the Chinese society had used shady tactics to harm people.

It's time to carefully screen the background of those serving the master.

"...Hey, show it to Yuanliang too." As soon as he saw his master in such a bad state, he knew who the "traitor" was, and he couldn't refute the other party's reasonable guess. Kang Jishou was indeed like a reinforcement brought by the enemy at times.

"Qi Zhongshu is also injured?"

Fang Yan said as he swung a red thread from his sleeve, which flexibly and accurately wrapped around Qi Shan's wrist. He felt it carefully, and after a while he felt the same pulse on Qi Shan as Shen Tang.

Fang Yan: "..."

Okay, let him worry less, just write a prescription.

From time to time, stones fell from the sky towards Shen Tang, but they were all broken by the guards who kept a close eye on them. Chu Yao and his companions knew that the "protection" movement just now was too loud and caused a shock to the morale. It was indeed unwise to continue to confront the Changqiao Stone Fort.

Helpless, I can only call it a day.

On the other hand, the enemy suspected that this was Kangguo's strategy to lure the enemy.

The two sides had been facing each other across the long bridge for two or three days, and there had been more than ten conflicts of varying sizes, each of which lasted for quite a while. Kangguo had not yet achieved its goal, so why did it withdraw its troops on its own initiative? Suspecting a fraud, the Central Allied Forces did not dare to act rashly.

"... I think this so-called Kangguo is just a bunch of rabble. I really don't know why they are going to such great lengths." The general's voice was like a bell, and his words were full of contempt. Today, the two sides tested each other across the bridge, and there was an obvious gap in the defense of Kangguo's air formation. Such a big stone could leak through. Is he blind? If he is not blind, then Kangguo did it on purpose. I don't know who is behind to hurt people like this. The general has lived for many years, and he can guess countless intrigues at this posture.

The others didn't agree verbally, but they agreed to some extent in their hearts.

Kangguo's performance is indeed not that of a war-torn army.

"…Perhaps it is to show weakness to the enemy?"

"Humph, isn't it destroying our own morale to show weakness to the enemy now?"

A novice on the battlefield should not make such a low-level mistake.

"...What kind of foundation can Kangguo have in a wild place like the northwest? It's just a bunch of reckless men." The first general who spoke had a serious stereotype about Kangguo, or rather, he had an opinion about the countries in the northwest continent. "The branch is overestimating them. Even if Kangguo unified the northwest and southwest, what would happen? Over the years, how many countries have been able to pass on their power smoothly?"

Most of them die suddenly in the first life/die in the second life.

In his eyes, the so-called country is just a game of house, just to satisfy his desire to be the ruler of a country. Kangguo is no exception.

"Because Shen Youli is young and strong enough. How old is she this year? She is not even thirty yet! Kangguo has only been established for a few years and it has achieved its current prosperity. If she continues to sit on the throne, it will be very difficult to deal with her in the next 20 or 30 years." She is very powerful, and it is not easy to kill her suddenly. This is also one of the main reasons why some social movements in the central part are serious.

Now that she is so difficult to kill, how can her martial arts be stable?

Another reason is that in the entire continent, only Kangguo has a special bloodline. How could the Kangguo royal court allow the Central Society to send people to search for targets among the people? Conflict between the two sides is inevitable. For all these reasons, Kangguo had to get rid of it!

"It's hard to deal with it now," someone else laughed sarcastically, "I don't know who raised a tiger to cause trouble?"

A few years ago, destroying Kangguo would have been a piece of cake.

It’s just that there are always people who fail to see the situation clearly and underestimate their opponents.

Since the beginning, the members of the Gods Society have enjoyed controlling the world. They always think that it is not that they are incapable of taking over other territories, but that these territories are unnecessary for the Central Society. The arrogance in their bones overrides all other beings.

If all the countries were unified, where would the gods find a place to stand?

The more core members are, the more they know how much the gods are hated.

The entire continent has always remained divided, which is the result of the tacit agreement between the inner society and several major branches. The more divided, the safer. Once a truly unified or relatively unified country emerges, the two will be fully fledged and will first attack the Gods.

"Humph, everyone says she's hard to deal with, but I'm determined to take her head off myself. The only thing missing from the antique shelf is a woman's head!"
