Chapter 387 The Disappearing Person
There is only one medical clinic in the border town, which is on the loess road, near the gate of the outer city.

In the past, when Qi Langzhong was still in the Jiannan Army, Qi Langzhong was in charge here, and whenever there were wounded, they would be sent here directly.

As soon as he entered the door, the familiar smell of medicine immediately drilled into his nose.

Duan Yi opened the curtain of the inner room, she had been here many times before, lying there covered in blood, Qi Langzhong was sitting by the bed, cursing endlessly, "Do you think you are made of iron? The stone lions in front of Duan's house are not as arrogant as you!"

This time, Qi Langzhong didn't speak, but frowned, looking at Gu Congrong's injury.

Hearing Duan Yi's footsteps, he said without turning his head, "You came just in time. I just woke up, and the other wounds on my body have been treated, but this arrow wound is difficult to treat."

"The little ones are not afraid of death, the old ones are going to die."

Qi Langzhong muttered, pointing to the iron arrow on Gu Congrong's chest, "This dog thief is really vicious, the arrow is full of barbs, if I pull it out, I'm afraid the lump of flesh will be gone .”

"This is the right shoulder. If you don't pull it out, your life will be gone sooner or later. If you pull it out, there will be such a big hole, and the weather is hot now. If you are not careful, if it gets hot and rots, you will have to see the King of Hades."

"It was his luck that he survived. But..."

As Qi Lang said, he looked at Gu Congrong with some reluctance.

Gu Congrong opened his eyes weakly, turned his head to look at Duan Yi, and chuckled, "Fortunately, you are here. I knew that you would be able to catch up. The border city is not broken, and the people are still alive and well." , I have died without regret."

Duan Yi's eyes turned red and she pursed her lips.

It was the first time she had seen Gu Congrong look so weak after growing up so big.

He lay there motionless, not like a brave general, but like a dying old man.

I don't know if it's Duan Yi's illusion, she seems to feel that his hair is much grayer, and the wrinkles on his face seem to be more, "The people are very good, there is nothing else to worry about except whether you will die or not." troubles."

"The person who shot you also took an arrow from me. You have to get better before him, otherwise it will appear that I am not good enough."

Gu Congrong smiled with difficulty.

Duan Yi took a deep look at the arrow on his body, she understood what Qi Lang said.

Gu Congrong is a military commander, and he has to hold a gun with his right hand.Even if he pulled out the long arrow safely, his right hand could still move, maybe he would never be able to carry the gun to the battlefield again.

For a general, this is simply more uncomfortable than death.

"As a grandfather, what are you still doing with the Jiannan army? It's time for me, brother Mingrui, to make a contribution. I'm ugly. Don't let your mind go to the sky, just help brother Mingrui. Don't help me."

"I took Guizhou from Cui Zigeng. There are too many mountain tribes in that place. I can't understand the language, and I can't kill them all as if I were an enemy. I said to Mr. Qi, good guy, Are you still so angry that people rise up?"

"It's all up to my grandfather. When you recover from your injury, follow me to Qianzhong."

Gu Congrong's eyes turned red, "Okay."

Duan Yi nodded at Qi Langzhong, "Sir, don't dawdle, as for my grandfather, the grass on Zan's grave was three meters high that day, and he could hold my elder brother Mingrui's children on the other's grave. Cuju."

"I'm here, I'm afraid he will be mad at death, I'll ask Zheng Duo to help you."

Duan Yi said, and said to Gu Congrong again, "Zheng Duo, do you know him? You grab his hand, hang up the rope and break it, jump into the river and the river dries up, that's the crane crest red in the bottle. If you sip it down, it will be full of blood." It smells like raisins."

Duan Yi babbled, her nose sore, she opened the curtain and said without looking back, "I'll call him, you wait."

Gu Congrong looked at Duan Yi's back, then at Qi Langzhong, "Let's do it, A Yi is here, so I have nothing to worry about."

Qi Langzhong waved his hand at Gu Congrong, "You are so disobedient? If I had that confidence, it would be your turn to say it, and I would have dug you out of your hole long ago! You don't know that Zheng Duo, what a mess!" It’s not good, Lord Yan will call him brother (guokuo).”

Duan Yi watched from a distance, saw that Zheng Duo had entered the room, and then suppressed the expression on his face.

At this time, the battle outside the city was over, and the soldiers of the Duan family army began to clean up the battlefield according to the old rules.

Countless wounded were brought in, and the people in the city removed the door panels of their homes to help carry the wounded into the city.On both sides of the loess road, people lined up one after another, and there were low moans everywhere.

Duan Yi took a deep breath, went outside the city, and carried the wounded together with the soldiers.

A boy with a yellow dog was standing by the side of the road and saw Duan Yi following him, "Will the dog thieves come again?"

Duan Yi stretched out her hand and touched his little head, "Come one to kill one, come two to kill one pair. If they dare not come, we will go to him when the wounded in the city recover. How can we not report?"

The boy lowered his head, his voice was a little frustrated, "It would be great if you came earlier, then my brother wouldn't die. He was also in the Jiannan army. During the last round of siege, he pushed down the climbing ladder. The dog thieves who were about to go to the tower also died together."

"Old General Gu said that my brother is a hero who defends his family and the country, but...Old General Gu is about to die."

Duan Yi shook her head, took out a piece of dried meat from her sleeve pocket, and put it in the boy's hand, "Sorry, I'm late."

The boy took a look at the jerky, and reluctantly returned it to Duan Yi, "I don't blame you, if you can come early, you will definitely come early, A Niang said that one can't repay kindness with revenge. I can't kill the enemy, I don't eat, you can do it." Those who kill the enemy will eat."

Duan Yi's eyes became hot, and she called out to Su Yun, "Go and order a man-made meal, and the soldiers and common people in the city will eat together."

Su Yun nodded heavily, and rode away.

Duan Yi rubbed the boy's head, "Hurry up and go home, we don't have enough pots and stoves, maybe we need you and your mother to help."

When the boy heard that he could help, his eyes lit up, and he led the skinny dog ​​and ran towards the house.

Duan Yi watched him go away, and waved to Mr. Huang, "Sir, why don't you tell me about the city here. Gu Mingrui arrived at the border city a long time ago, why did he disappear? We didn't see him on the way here." trace."

Mr. Huang stepped forward quickly and saluted Duan Yi, "My lord, have you seen the young man who shoots arrows? That is Yansang, Rizan's third son. Yansang's mother is of high status, and he is the son of the first son." , will inherit the throne of Rizan in the future."

"That's why the lord shot him today, so Na Duo and Fang didn't hesitate to lose their troops and lose their generals. They also wanted to withdraw their troops and lead Yansang to leave the camp here to join Rizan."

"The border town was besieged, and the enemy army in the inner city seemed to have fallen from the sky. In the past few months, the number of caravans returning from the west suddenly increased. They had a way to guide them. After I asked someone to check carefully, they let them go. .”

"Until later, the Longyou army was defeated, and General Gu led the army to rescue Xiangyang. The old general was worried that something would happen, so he closed the gate of the city tightly. I don't think I have made a big mistake. I'm afraid it's not that there are problems with those merchants in the past. All of them are made by Tubo."

Duan Yi frowned while listening, "What about Gu Mingrui?"

Mr. Huang took a deep breath, "General Xiao Gu led the army to rescue the border town. He had already reached the inner gate, then left suddenly, and never came back after that. I'm afraid..."

As Mr. Huang spoke, he burst into tears.
