Chapter 172
Yi Xingchen quickly searched the body of the guard leader, and found a small bottle of gold-invasive medicine. He quickly took it out, pulled out the dagger with iron-cut iron like mud, used it as a razor, shaved off the hair near the back of Governor Li's head wound, then applied the golden sore medicine, tear off a cloth belt as a bandage, and bandaged the head for Governor Li. After wrapping, Yi Xingchen said to Governor Li: "It's okay."
But he didn't see any reaction from Governor Li. He looked down and saw Governor Li staring blankly at the bodies of the guards lying on the ground and being bitten to death by poisonous snakes on the hillside in a daze.
Yi Xingchen did not dare to disturb her thoughts, so he sat down next to her and stared blankly at the bodies of dozens of guards in the moonlight.
After a while, I heard Governor Li sigh: "It's all my fault. I didn't listen to your advice. If I had taken them down the mountain, why would they die here tragically?"
Speaking of this, Governor Li turned his head and looked at Yi Xingchen and said, "Are we going down the mountain now or waiting until tomorrow?"
Yi Xingchen thought about it and said that the hexagram showed that the evil was the snake. Now that most of the snakes have been cut and killed, the rest have been dispersed, they should not organize an attack, because these snakes should have been found by snake slaves from nearby. So many snakes must have attracted all the snakes within a radius of dozens of miles, and in a while, there will never be more snakes to organize a second attack.
Moreover, their two leaders have been killed by themselves, and the group has no leader, so it should not be organized to attack again, so it is safe to stay on the top of the mountain.
Judging from the hexagrams and common sense, there will be no more danger, and so many people have died. If Governor Li cannot achieve the goal of accurately judging the enemy situation, all efforts and sacrifices will be in vain.
So Yi Xingchen said in a positive tone: "The danger has passed, and the hexagram shows that the back is safe. You can wait until tomorrow morning to observe the enemy situation and then evacuate."
Governor Li nodded and said, "Okay, listen to you."
Seeing that the tent that had been built before had been overwhelmed by the snake group, Yi Xingchen said, "I'll go and put up the tent, so let's go and rest."
Governor Li shook his head and said, "No need, it's not cold, there is no need for a tent, just rest here. I want to be quiet now."
Yi Xingchen did not dare to speak anymore, so he ran to carry the bedding and quilt. He spread it on a flat ground next to the cave and said to Governor Li: "Sir, you should take a break and save your energy. We still have a long way to go down the mountain tomorrow. If you don't rest, you can't rush back to the military camp in time, which will delay military intelligence."
Governor Li thought about what Yi Xingchen said was right, and said, "Okay!"
Governor Li was also accustomed to life and death. He fought for many years. Countless soldiers died by his side, so he just sighed and left it aside. He lay down and fell asleep quickly. Yi Xingchen was also lying down on another bed next to him. Because the hexagram showed that there was no danger, he was too lazy to think about it. Although today's experience was indeed a bit strange and thrilling, it could even be said that he had gone back to the gate of hell. But after so many thrilling times, he began to get used to it and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, Yi Xingchen opened his eyes and the sun was already shining on the hillside. He saw that there were no figures on the floor next to him. He was so scared that he quickly got up and looked around. He saw that Governor Li was standing on the tall rock with his hands behind his back, looking at Baiyun Mountain opposite.
Yi Xingchen took the water bag and dry food, put it on the rocks, and handed it to Governor Li.
Governor Li took it silently, and continued to watch while eating. After eating, he said to Yi Xingchen: "We can go down the mountain. I have already thought of a complete plan. This time, I will completely wipe out the White Lotus Sect and avenge my brothers."
The two of them got down the rock, and Yi Xingchen picked up a single sword to defend himself.
They walked back along the same road, and the speed of going down the mountain was slightly faster than going up the mountain, but despite this, they reached the west side of the sun and then went down to the foot of the mountain.
Although Governor Li was used to his military career, he was a literati and still couldn't keep up with his physical strength. He was so tired that he was panting and supported his hands on a tree and gasped.
Yi Xingchen was young at the end. The two consecutive days of going up and down the mountain, coupled with the fierce battle last night, had consumed too much of his physical strength. At this moment, he was so tired that he was panting and sat on the ground without wanting to move. However, there was still one day away from the military camp, and he had to grit his teeth and persevere. Fortunately, this trip was almost flat, which saved some energy than going up and down the mountain.
Just as he was gasping, he suddenly heard a scream from Governor Li, and was startled. He quickly turned around and saw Governor Li holding his left wrist tightly in his right hand, looking at the branches on his head in horror.
Xingchen looked up and was shocked. He saw a faint poisonous snake on the tree, with a triangular head and a tail suddenly thinning. Yi Xingchen seemed to have seen such a snake in an article before, and his heart tightened.
He immediately remembered the hexagram he had calculated before. The change of hexagram representing the ending was a small evil, which means there was another small disaster. Why did he ignore this? Now it's miserable, Governor Li was bitten by a poisonous snake.
This poisonous snake must have been the ones that had been dispersed before and did not walk far away. One of them was wrapped around the tree. Just as Governor Li supported the tree pole with his hand and was bitten by the snake.
Yi Xingchen rushed up and split the poisonous snake with his head tilted into two pieces with one knife. Then he threw the knife down and grabbed Governor Li's hand to check. He saw two deep tooth marks on the outside edge of Governor Li's palm, and dark red blood gushed out.
Governor Li felt dizzy and slowly sat on the ground.
Yi Xingchen immediately tore off a corner of his clothes, tied his elbow tightly, and then took out a knife to cut the bitten wound.
He hesitated whether he would help Governor Li suck out the venom, but he knew that after being bitten by a venomous snake, he sucked out the venom and asked the sucker to have no wounds or ulcers in his mouth, otherwise the venom would enter the brain and his life would be over. He didn't know if the apprentice he inherited had ulcers or wounds in his mouth.
At this moment, someone shouted from afar: "Governor!"
Yi Xingchen was overjoyed when he heard this, but he was very cautious and did not agree immediately. He grabbed the tree and climbed up and looked out from the treetops. He saw a group of soldiers not far away, moving towards this side. It was the official army who couldn't help but feel surprised and shouted loudly: "Governor is here, come here, the lord is bitten by a poisonous snake."
Hearing the call, the soldiers immediately ran over. Yi Xingchen went down to the tree and the soldiers ran closer.
Yi Xingchen said: "The adult was bitten by a snake, so hurry up and carry the adult back. In addition, send a few people to run back and call the doctor to come. The two-way meeting will be faster, so you can treat it first on the road."
The captain of the team leader quickly agreed, and while instructing the two soldiers to run back quickly to notify the doctor who accompanied the army to come for treatment. On the other hand, the other soldiers took turns walking back with Governor Li on their backs.
On the way, Yi Xingchen asked, only to find out that they expected that Governor Li and others would go down the mountain overnight after going up the mountain. Unexpectedly, they would stay on the mountain for a night, so they did not wait until Governor Li and the guards returned to the barracks. They were a little anxious, so they sent soldiers to pick them up. The soldiers went up the mountain from another mountain road. They found dozens of guards' bodies, and were bitten to death by snakes, and did not see Governor Li and Yi Xingchen. They quickly went down the mountain to search. At the same time, they reported to the commander of the military camp and sent more soldiers to search everywhere. Finally, they found them.
On the way back to the barracks, the military doctor rushed over and immediately treated Governor Li.
After taking the medicine, Governor Li gradually recovered his mind and ordered a team of soldiers to go up the mountain to bring back the bodies of the guards for burial.
Returning to the military camp, Governor Li didn't care that the snake venom had not been completely relieved, and he was dizzy and weak. He still forced himself to take the initiative to deploy an offensive plan immediately.
Because Governor Li had already checked the terrain and the enemy situation on the spot, and made a detailed combat plan, the battle went smoothly. The official army captured Baiyun Mountain in one fell swoop, annihilated most of the White Lotus Sect's followers, and the rest were captured and none escaped.
Although the battle was extremely beautiful, Governor Li was not too happy. He still felt guilty for not obeying Yi Xingchen's dissuasion, which caused dozens of guards under him to die in vain.
Then, they won the victory and returned to Jinzhou City.
At this point, the White Lotus Sect in Jinzhou has been wiped out by Governor Li, and the local area has returned to peace.
————————————
On the night when he arrived in Jinzhou, Governor Li asked Yi Xingchen to drink with him.
Just in his official office, he did not call the local prefect and the Jinyiwei hundred households. Yi Xingchen knew that Governor Li must have something to say to him.
Governor Li and Yi Xingchen sat at the wine table in the back garden pavilion, but neither spoke nor polite. Yi Xingchen knew that Governor Li had something to say and waited for him to say it. However, Governor Li did not speak for a long time, but just drank with his head down. So Xingchen changed to stop talking. After a long time, Governor Li waved his hand, and the maids and guards serving both sides retreated.
Governor Li held the wine glass and said to Yi Xingchen: "I have been making a decision, but I have never been able to make up my mind. I thought about it for a long time and decided to speak out and see your opinions."
Yi Xingchen said: "Sir, if you have any instructions, I will do my best to live up to my expectations."
"That's good, because this decision may be dangerous for you, but if it is achieved, it may be of great benefit to you."
Speaking of this, Governor Li pondered for a while before he brought a glass of wine to Yi Xingchen, "Let's drink this glass of wine first, and I'll tell you."
The two of them raised their wine glasses and drank them all in one go.
Governor Li lowered his voice and said, "You must know that the Tianjie Sect's current forces in the court and the country are two national masters around the emperor who are the Tianjie Sect's Heavenly Masters, and many of the ministers in the court loyally believe in the Tianjie Sect. Although the two cases you solved have made the emperor and ministers more or less doubt about some of the things claimed by the Tianjie Sect, it is far from enough to shake the Tianjie Sect. As you said, the Tianjie Sect is a cancer. If it is not removed, it will sooner or later harm the country of our Ming Kingdom."
