Although Lu Bu was furious, he had not lost his mind. He wielded the Fangtian Painted Halberd and slashed wildly, just to intimidate the enemy. As he expected, when the enemy saw him rushing in, they immediately lost their fighting spirit and fled in panic.
But Lu Bu's mood became worse and worse, because he found that these rebellious soldiers were wearing clothes that he had never seen before, and it was impossible to tell whose subordinates they were.
Moreover, the more Lu Bu walked inside, the more frightened he became. There were scenes of brutal fighting everywhere. Many of the people who died on the ground were all attacked by people who attacked the vital parts of their faces, and the attacks were extremely quick and easy.
Lu Bu rushed all the way to the back house and found that in front of his wife and daughter's dormitory, there were corpses piled densely on the ground, blood puddles on the ground, and the air was filled with fishy smell.
He was startled, and when he looked closely, he saw a dozen soldiers blocking the door, stabbing inside with long spears.
When Lu Bu saw this, his eyes were about to burst, and he shouted: "Seeking death!"
He strode to catch up, and Fang Tian's painted halberd, with a shrill sound, pierced the back of a soldier!
The soldier screamed, but he was not dead for a moment. He was twisting and struggling on the tip of his halberd, like a spear that had been stabbed.
With a low roar, Lu Bu actually picked up the man and threw him at the other soldiers. Several of them were immediately knocked to the ground.
When those people saw that it was Lu Bu who had returned, they became even more panicked and fled in both directions. How could Lu Bu allow them to do so? He stopped in front with a halberd and shouted: "No one can leave today!"
Someone wanted to sneak away, but when Lu Bu saw him, Fang Tian smashed his halberd down, splitting the opponent's head in half.
At this time, everyone lost their energy and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Lu Bu ignored them, asked the soldiers behind him to keep an eye on them, and strode towards the door.
As soon as he stepped into the threshold, he looked behind the two door leaves on the left and right, and saw three halberd points pointing at him. He was about to counterattack subconsciously, but when he saw the people holding the halberds, he was stunned, "Why are they you?"
One of them was naturally Lu Lingqi. Her face was covered with blood, she was groggy, and seemed to be unable to stand. When she heard Lu Bu's voice, she came back to her senses and said, "Father?"
"is it you?"
Lu Bu saw Lu Lingqi covered in blood and said in surprise: "Are you injured?"
Lu Lingqi shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes, "I'm fine, and my mother is safe in the back room."
"But Master, Master, he..."
Seeing that Lu Lingqi was fine, Lu Bu felt relieved, and then looked at the other person behind the door.
Qu Yi held up his halberd and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was asleep. There were still several spears stuck in his body.
But he still raised his halberd and pointed toward the door, as if his body was frozen.
Lu Lingqi cried: "Master blocked the door with his body to prevent them from coming in, but there were too many of them, and Master still..."
At this time Qu Yi's voice sounded.
"I haven't died so easily."
Under Lu Lingqi's surprised gaze, Qu Yi slowly opened his eyes, "I was stabbed more than a hundred times back then. In comparison, this injury is nothing."
When he opened his mouth, blood kept flowing down from the corner of his mouth, "But I still need to trouble Marquis Wen to find a healer. Some of the bullets hit the wrong place and it's very painful."
Only then did Lu Bu feel relieved and said in a deep voice, "Bu owes Dezhou a favor."
Qu Yi raised the tip of his halberd to support his body, waved his hand and said, "No, she is my disciple after all, otherwise it would make my master incompetent."
"Marquis Wen has given birth to a good daughter."
At this time Zhang Liao came over, grabbed the leader and asked a few questions, then grabbed him and walked towards Lu Bu, saying, "Marquis Wen, this man is here."
"It is said that it was instigated by Youzhou."
Lu Bu was stunned, "What about the fierce tiger of the Yuan family?"
The man kowtowed repeatedly, "That's true. I was just following orders. Please forgive me, Marquis Wen!"
Lu Bu burst out laughing, turned to Qu Yi and said, "Dezhou, what do you think?"
Qu Yi's body was shaking and he laughed loudly, "What do you think, Marquis Wen?"
Lu Bu flicked Fang Tian's painted halberd and pointed it at Qu Yi. Lu Lingqi was anxious and just about to speak, she saw Lu Bu turned the halberd and with a swipe, cut off the arm of the man on the ground!
The man screamed miserably, rolled on the ground, and shouted: "I've already taken them all, General, spare your life!"
Lu Bu sneered again and again, and with another blow, the man's thigh was removed again, "How dare you lie to me!"
He raised his halberd and pointed it at Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, let him suffer all kinds of torture, but don't let him die. I want to know who instigated it!"
Zhang Liao quickly accepted the order, thinking that these people were really short-sighted. He was afraid that Marquis Wen might have learned something inside, and he was sure that it was not planned by Youzhou.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Qu Yi in the room, thinking that this was Yinhu's man, could it be related to Fierce Tiger?
When Lu Bu saw Zhang Liao taking everyone away, he took back his halberd. He thought that Qu Yi almost died here. It would be a big joke to say that it was the fierce tiger who instigated it.
When he turned back, he found that Qu Yi was holding a halberd and was about to lose his support. He quickly asked the soldiers to carry him down for treatment.
He looked at Lu Lingqi and saw that she looked like she had been fished out of a pool of blood. The two short halberds she was carrying were stained with blood. He couldn't help but said, "Did you kill someone?"
Lu Lingqi grinned, "Not many, just ten or twenty."
Lu Bu sighed in his heart, finally embarking on this path.
Seeing that Lu Lingqi's face was pale and cold sweat was breaking out on her forehead, he said in a voiceless voice: "You are injured!"
Only then did Lu Lingqi feel pain radiating from all over her body, her vision went dark, and she fell to the ground.
She didn't know how long it took before she woke up and turned around. As soon as she opened her eyes, she found that her mother, Yan, had her back turned to her and kept wiping the corners of her eyes.
She felt pain all over her body. She raised her arm and found that many parts of her body were bandaged. She thought that she had been fighting hard at that time and she didn't feel any pain. She thought she was fine. It turned out that she had suffered a lot of injuries at that time.
She said: "Mom?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yan quickly turned around in surprise, "Ling'er is awake?"
"Ling'er wakes up!"
She looked at Lu Lingqi who was wrapped into a rice dumpling with distress, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "Don't do this next time!"
Lu Lingqi said proudly: "What did mom say? If I hadn't been in front, wouldn't we have all been killed?"
"Now my mother doesn't say it's useless for women to practice martial arts. Isn't my daughter protecting my mother?"
Yan sighed, of course she knew this, but when she was hiding in the back room, she secretly watched Lu Lingqi killing someone, why did she seem so similar to Lu Bu?
Is this still a lady?
A few days later, Yuan Xi received an urgent letter from Hanoi from Jushou Zhao Yun, saying that Lu Bu agreed to join forces with Yuan Xi.
He also thought that Lu Bu was very straightforward this time, but he didn't understand until he learned the whole story.
Lü Bu's family members were assassinated, Qu Yi fought tooth and nail to block the rebels, and the thieves also wanted to frame Yuan Xi, but Lü Bu saw through it. This series of events was the reason why Lü Bu made up his mind.
It's all thanks to Qu Yi. If he hadn't been present, it would have been difficult to clear up the matter.
After Yuan Xi learned the whole thing, his joy was diluted a lot, because Qu Yi had paid for it with his life.
The letter said that Qu Yi was not in good condition and had been injured in many places on his body. Although Lu Bu sought medical treatment, Qu Yi's injuries were still getting worse. If a treatment was not found, he might not live long.
Seeing this, Yuan Xi called Guo Jiahua, Tuo Tianyu and others, told them the situation, and said: "This time it was all thanks to Brother Qu, but he was seriously injured and must find a way to treat him."
Hua Tuo read the contents of the letter and said: "Judging from the symptoms, his internal organs were injured in several places. The doctors just sewed up his wounds. He was afraid that he was still bleeding inside his body. Over time, he was afraid that his internal organs would rot. , there will be no way to save him."
"Now he has to open his abdomen and re-sew it up, but his body may not be able to withstand the fatigue of traveling."
"If the young master sends me, there may be some hope."
Guo Jia said: "Now that Mr. Yuanhua's status is important, why can't he send a few disciples?"
Hua Tuo shook his head, "I'm afraid not."
"My few apprentices are good at treating external injuries, but they are far from good at treating internal injuries."
After hearing this, Yuan Xi got up and walked a few steps, thinking about it.
It is not impossible to send Hua Tuo there, but in the eyes of others, it is obviously suspected of being petty at the expense of the big.
Hua Tuo has a long-standing reputation. To the soldiers in the camp now, he is like a talisman. If he leaves, the morale of the army will inevitably be shaken.
If they knew that Hua Tuo left to save someone, these sergeants would probably have some ideas.
Yuan Xi couldn't help pinching the fingers in his sleeves, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart.
On the one hand, it is military discipline, and on the other hand, it is Qu Yi who followed him for the first time but never asked for anything in return.
This is a dilemma, what should I choose?
Guo Jiatianyu and others all understood Yuan Xi's thoughts, but no matter what they said at this time, it was not appropriate. The only one who could make the decision was Yuan Xi himself.
Yuan Xi said to Hua Tuo: "Excuse me, sir, how long can Dezhou last?"
Hua Tuo took the letter and thought for a while, "This letter says that Dezhou has a high fever, difficulty breathing, and bloody sputum when coughing, and I'm afraid he won't last more than half a month."
"Even if we leave now, it's hard to say whether we can save him."
"I heard that he was seriously injured a few years ago. I'm afraid that the fundamentals of his body have already been damaged. In this case, this time will only be shortened, and things are not good."
Yuan Xi remained silent and asked again: "Where is Yuan Shangjun?"
Tian Yu spoke out: "The informant over at Yan Rou reported that they have arrived in the northwest of Zhao County and will soon be able to enter several passes in the central part of the Black Mountain."
Yuan Xi raised his head and said, "I want to take Mr. Yuanhua to Hanoi."
"Our journey has been a containment. Our goal of joining forces with Lu Bu to welcome the emperor has been achieved. Why not let Yuan Shang go to fight the Montenegrin army?"
"Guorang will lead the people to set up camp from here and build a defense line for the grain road to Beixin City. We can occupy more or less half of the Black Mountain Pass, which is not a small amount."
But Guo Jia immediately said: "I object."
"This Black Mountain Pass may indeed be unimportant, but there is no need for the young master to take risks alone."
"Not to mention that Lu Bu is a capricious person, even Hanoi today is not safe!"
"Who is the mastermind behind this attack on Lu Bu's family? Has it been found out?"
"What if he is still hiding in Lu Bu's army, waiting for an opportunity to attack again?"
Tian Yu heard this and said, "I agree with Mr. Fengxiao's idea."
"There are people around Lu Bu who want to frame the young master. If the young master goes there, who knows if they will intend to assassinate the young master?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi also became hesitant. He said in a solemn voice: "But the danger in Dezhou was entirely due to my poor thinking. If he died because of this, I would not even see him for the last time..."
Guo Jia said flatly: "Is this his voluntary choice?"
"Before we go to the battlefield, who doesn't have consciousness?"
"Besides, if he has any last words to tell the young master, wouldn't it be enough to have the young master and Zilong convey them to him in Hanoi?"
After hearing this, Yuan Xi had to say: "Let me think about it again."
Guo Jia walked out of the tent and shook his head, thinking that caring about favors was one of the few shortcomings of the young master, and it was very troublesome.
In Huaicheng Mansion, Qu Yi stood up, coughed and said to Lu Bu who came to visit, "I'm going back to Youzhou now."
