Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

Chapter 195 Without delay

He was no longer able to cope with the next confrontation.

Xiao Zhixue didn't give him any chance to breathe. The sword flashed and pierced his chest again.

The double torture of severe pain and venom made him groan, and his body gradually became limp.

Xiao Zhixue calmly drew out her sword, put the tip of the sword against his neck, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

Although the man's face was full of hatred, he gritted his teeth and refused to utter a word.

Xiao Zhixue did not force it, she already had the answer in her heart. All this was undoubtedly Du Xuwei's conspiracy.

But what puzzled her was why these Dongchu Rangers let go of other people who were passing through here as well? If not, Fang Weiyi and the others would have probably met with an accident long ago.

Just as Xiao Zhixue frowned and thought, the man suddenly laughed wildly towards the sky, his voice filled with despair and madness: "You Xiliang people will eventually surrender to the iron hoof of Dongchu! If you know what's good for you, hand over the antidote and I can spare your life. Otherwise, within half an hour, Zhangzhou will become the territory of Dongchu!"

Xiao Zhixue's heart sank; her worries unfortunately came true.

The loss of the border defense line foreshadowed that the army of Eastern Chu would soon flood into Zhangzhou like a flood.

How could she, alone, resist the mighty army?

She must immediately notify Pei Ming, the prefect of Zhangzhou, and strengthen the defense. At the same time, Fang Weiyi and Mo Xingjun are still waiting for her to return for treatment. Time is running out and no time is lost.

Faced with the man's arrogance and provocation, Xiao Zhixue's eyes fixed, and with a flash of sword, she ended the conversation cleanly and neatly.

Then she jumped on her horse and galloped towards the Zhangzhou government office like a flash of lightning.

Fortunately, the two horses were extremely majestic and soon arrived at the gate of the government office.

The two guards at the door were stunned when they saw Xiao Zhixue.

They were well-known for the heroic deeds of this heroine, so they didn't dare to ask more questions. They only saw that her face was full of anxiety, and she looked particularly determined in the night.

Xiao Zhixue quickly dismounted and urgently ordered the two guards: "Quick, go in and inform Lord Pei Ming that the defense line outside the city has been breached, and the Dongchu troops are approaching Zhangzhou!"

When the two guards heard that the border had been lost, their faces turned pale, and they quickly turned around and almost crawled towards the palace.

When Pei Ming heard the news, he immediately ordered people to be gathered without even having time to get dressed.

However, when the two guards returned panting, Xiao Zhixue had already ridden away on her horse, leaving only a series of hurried horse hooves echoing in the night sky.

Pei Ming was fully aware of the urgency of the situation and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. He immediately began to deploy troops to prepare for the impending crisis.

And Xiao Zhixue, under the cover of night, continued her mission, galloping into the unknown and danger for the peace and future of Zhangzhou.

As the helmsman of Zhangzhou, he has at least hundreds of elite soldiers and generals under his command.

He was thinking that he must inform Mo Xingjun as soon as possible, but the spies he sent out reported that Mo Xingjun was not in the mansion that Pei Ming had specially arranged for him.

Pei Ming was concerned about the safety of thousands of people in Zhangzhou and was absolutely unwilling to stand idly by and allow the situation to deteriorate.

"Everyone, guard the city gates. Not even the shadow of an enemy is allowed to set foot into the city!"

"As you command, my lord!"

At the command, the men hurried to their respective posts, ready for battle.

Pei Ming sent another team to search for Mo Xingjun's whereabouts. Time was running out and every minute and every second was particularly precious.

At the same time, Xiao Zhixue had already spurred her horse, passed through the winding alleys, and returned to the old house full of traces of time.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I heard Jiuer's rapid and sharp cry, as if she was telling me something urgent.

As soon as Jiuer saw Xiao Zhixue coming back, she immediately flapped her wings and flew to her shoulder, expressing her anxiety in her own unique way: "My benefactor, my master is in a very bad condition, please go and see him."

Xiao Zhixue was full of doubts. She had clearly personally given Fang Weiyi the Jade Spirit Pill that she had carefully prepared. Logically, his condition should not have worsened so suddenly.

Besides, he was still in good spirits when he left Xuan Yu Hall, so how could he become so critical in the blink of an eye?

Anxious Xiao Zhixue quickened her pace and headed straight for Qingfengxuan where Fang Weiyi lived.

Just as he approached the door, he heard chaotic footsteps inside. The door opened slightly. Fang Jiawen was about to go out to ask for help. When he saw Xiao Zhixue returning safely, a relieved smile finally appeared on his originally anxious face.

"Miss Zhixue, come and help my brother. He suddenly vomited blood and is now unconscious."

Xiao Zhixue hurried to the bedside, only to see bloodstains on Fang Weiyi's lips, his face was as pale as paper, his eyes were closed, and his breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

She quickly took his pulse and found the problem a moment later.

She turned to look at Fang Jiawen, with a hint of reproach in her tone: "Has your brother ever taken any other medications before?"

Fang Jiawen lowered his head and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Brother said he was not feeling well when he came back. He ignored my advice and insisted on taking the Blood Lotus Pill. Unexpectedly, he started vomiting blood soon after and then fell into a coma."

Xiao Zhixue rolled her eyes helplessly. She had clearly told Fang Weiyi to wait for her to come back for treatment, but he took the Blood Lotus Pill on his own and took the Blood Lotus Pill which was in conflict with the Jade Spirit Pill.

Although the Blood Lotus Pill has the effect of strengthening the body, taking it together with her Jade Spirit Pill would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire.

"Your brother is really good at causing me trouble!"

Xiao Zhixue said unhappily.

"What should I do now? Can my brother be saved?"

Xiao Zhixue expressionlessly took out the silver needle bag from the space she carried with her and told Fang Jiawen to help take off Fang Weiyi's clothes.

Although Fang Jiawen knew very well that men and women should keep a distance, at this critical moment of life and death, he did not care about much else and hurriedly helped Fang Weiyi take off his clothes, revealing his skin as tough as white jade.

Xiao Zhixue skillfully pulled out silver needles and accurately inserted them into several key acupuncture points on Fang Weiyi's body.

The moment the silver needle touched his skin, Fang Weiyi seemed to feel a slight pain and his brows furrowed slightly.

She arranged for Fang Jiawen to stay by the bed, and she strode out of the room. She then went to check on Mo Xingjun, who was still unconscious, and took his pulse again to diagnose him.

Guo Mo, who was standing by, seemed quite anxious and asked quickly, "Miss Xiao, how is my master doing?"

Xiao Zhixue withdrew her hand and replied calmly, "He is in good health at the moment. I will boil a dose of medicine for him later and he should be much better. But it is not suitable for you to stay here now. On the way back, I met a few bandits from Dongchu. They revealed that the border of Zhangzhou has been breached. In about half an hour, a large number of Dongchu soldiers will pour into Zhangzhou. You must defend the city and not let the enemy take advantage of it."

When Guo Mo heard this, his heart tightened. He glanced at Mo Xingjun who was unconscious on the bed, and then hurriedly left the room.

Soon, he gathered reinforcements and rushed to the outside of Zhangzhou City to prepare for the impending crisis.
