When Han De returned to the city in triumph, Han Sui was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect much, but he didn't expect Song Long to be a match for the two generals.
Song Long also fell when he dismounted. Han Sui was shocked and ordered people to carry him to the government office and called military doctors for treatment.
Song Long waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just a loss of strength. Just rest for two days."
Han Deyan said: "I saw that Zhang Fei also fell when he dismounted. I'm afraid his injury will be no worse than the crown prince's."
Song Long sneered and said: "Zhang Fei has taken advantage of my secret technique. If it is not my unique antidote, he will never go into battle again."
Han Sui was surprised and asked: "Is it possible that Zhang Fei is going to die?"
Song Long shook his head and said: "My master is an eminent monk and a living Buddha in this world. How can he kill?"
Han Sui frowned and said: "There are also miraculous doctors in the Central Plains. If it is just poisoning, I am afraid it will not be effective against Zhang Fei."
Song Long smiled confidently and said: "This is not poison. It is harmless to people. It will only make them lose their strength. It has the power of subduing a tiger and subduing a dragon. Even the elephant in the Kushan Kingdom will fall to the ground. It is specially designed to subdue the tiger." The tyrannical people of evil spirits will wear away their nature and no longer do evil.”
Han De wondered: "Why did the prince's strength increase so much?"
Song Long smiled and said: "Master bathed me in the water of the divine spring, and I have already developed a golden body. This medicine is a magic medicine for the enemy, but for me, it is an elixir of strength."
Han Sui didn't know whether it was true or not, so he sent an order: "Hurry and prepare mutton soup and beef to replenish the prince's strength."
Song Long said: "I have the elixir in me. Please prepare one pound each of lamb waist, bezoar, snake gallbladder, and a penny of boy's blood. It is best to use tiger bones to make soup."
"Don't worry, we have everything you need!" Han Sui hurriedly ordered people to take care of it.
Han De was frightened when he heard it. He handed over the copper bell in his arms and said, "Fortunately, I remembered what the prince told me. If it hadn't been for this bell, I would have almost rushed into the enemy's camp."
Han Sui was also surprised and asked, "I wonder if this technique will make the prince lose his mind?"
Song Long knew that the two of them had doubts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you two, I'm not losing my mind. It's just that my blood is rising and I'm easily impulsive. This magical bell can make me sober. I'll ask General Han to keep it for the next few days."
Hande breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put away the bell, and personally accompanied Song Long back to rest.
Han Sui saw that this man could deal with Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, and also make the enemy lose their strength. His confidence increased and he immediately invited Cheng Gongying to discuss the matter.
…
In the Han military camp, everyone gathered around Zhang Fei to ask questions. It was incredible that he was so exhausted that he lost strength in less than half an hour after dealing with an unknown person.
Zhang Fei was also impatient at being asked, so he waved his hand and said: "I'm not seriously ill, I'm just a little tired. Maybe I'm acclimated to the wind and cold, so I'll be fine after a nap."
Ji Miao examined him for a while, then frowned and said, "General Zhang has no signs of poisoning. Maybe it's just that the powder was spicy, and the tears caused his eyes to become blocked and he temporarily lost his strength."
Zhang Fei asked again: "It seems that Zilong's marksmanship today is very different from before. Could it be that there has been some improvement?"
The topic suddenly turned to Zhao Yun, and everyone was frightened when they thought of his move to defeat Song Long.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Yes, when I entered Shu years ago, I passed by the foot of Qingcheng Mountain one day and saw two snakes, one green and one white, fighting. I occasionally had some insights. Recently, someone combined the original moves and named them the Seven Exploration Snake Coiling Gun... "
Liu Qi's heart moved and he quickly asked: "Can you separate those two snakes?"
Zhao Yun was startled, shook his head and said: "The green snake is in the crevices of the rocks, and the white snake is in the cave. When they see strangers approaching, they separate."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes at Liu Qi, thinking that Liu Qi actually asked some weird questions, and continued to ask about the marksmanship. Zhao Yun only said that he had just gained insights, and only had one or two moves, which were not systematic.
After hearing this, Zhang Fei sighed: "I reunited with my second brother during the Chinese New Year. He said that he had recently obtained another copy of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals, which he had learned a lot about. He actually also gained insights into martial arts and was practicing a new sword technique, which he named the Spring and Autumn Annals. You guys. We are all making progress, I can’t rest on my laurels, I have to come up with some new moves.”
Kou Feng complained: "The two seniors are still working hard to make progress. Can I still live if I am asked to wait for the juniors?"
Everyone laughed, swept away the gloom just now, and continued to discuss the dispatch of troops. They sent people to inquire about the Xiliang Army. This Song Long trick was causing harm and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Liu Qi sighed: "I think there must be something strange about the bell in Hande's hand. If Shi'a and the others were here, they could enter the city and steal it, and it would be easy to deal with this thief."
Kou Fengyan said: "Why don't we also ring a bell and shake it in front of the formation to harass him?"
"This is a great plan!" Liu Qi was overjoyed and immediately ordered Kou Feng to do it, making sure his voice was the same.
A detailed report was made the next day. Song Long was also bedridden after his return, and it took three days for him to regain his strength. Only then did everyone feel relieved. They had both been exposed to the powder, and probably had similar symptoms.
At this time, the pontoon bridge had been built, and Liu Qi ordered Lei Tong to lead 5,000 men and horses to the north bank to guard the camp and strengthen the defense so that he could meet Zhang Ren at any time.
Three days later, Zhang Fei still had sluggish steps and weak limbs. He could only walk normally, but could not ride a horse or hold a knife.
Just when he was doubting, Han De was reported to have killed him again. The generals came out of the camp and saw that Song Long was also in front of the formation. He was in high spirits and had already recovered.
Liu Qi frowned and said, "It seems that there is something strange about this thief. He must be captured and interrogated strictly."
Song Long stepped out and laughed wildly: "Liu Qi, since you know a certain skill, why don't you retreat quickly? From now on, Longxi and even Xiliang will be surnamed Song, not Liu!"
Without saying a word, Zhao Yun patted his horse and went into battle. His gentian spear was like a meteor chasing the moon, piercing Song Long, preparing to capture him as quickly as possible without giving him a chance to spray medicine.
Song Long knew that Zhao Yun was very powerful, and he was almost stabbed by him even when he used medicine. He had been secretly on guard for a long time.
The two were fighting on the field. Zhao Yun was so fast that he could only see the blurry shadow of the gun. Looking at Song Long again, it was as if he was moving left and right in slow motion, extremely clumsy.
After being stabbed in several places by the spearhead, Song Long became furious, shouted and wanted to attack, but was attacked by Zhao Yun continuously, unable to take any action, and screamed in anger.
If he hadn't been questioning him, he could have been stabbed under the horse with just one shot. The tip of the spear penetrated Song Long's shoulder blade. Zhao Yun reached out to grab Song Long while his sword was unstable.
Hearing Song Long's roar, a stream of yellow smoke spurted out from the blade and rushed towards the door in front of Zhao Yun. The two of them were so close that there was no way to avoid them.
Just when Liu Qi and others shouted to be careful, they saw Zhao Yun suddenly spin on the horse, hanging upside down under the horse's belly like a gymnast, and the white horse galloped past.
Song Long was slightly startled when he saw Zhao Yun suddenly disappearing. He immediately sprinkled a handful of powder and quickly entered a violent state. Although his shoulders were bleeding profusely, he didn't notice it at all.
Kou Feng was horrified and exclaimed: "If it had been anyone else, he would have been hit."
Liu Qi nodded slightly. Zhao Yun's dexterity and agility were not only reflected in his marksmanship, but also his personal reaction was the fastest among the generals. Otherwise, how could he have never been injured in his life and become a victorious general?
Zhao Yun got back on the horse again, waited for the medicine powder to be blown away by the wind, and then rode up again to fight with the violent Song Long.
"Is this a human or a demon?" Song Long's body was stained red with blood, and he looked like he was going crazy. Liu Qi did not expect to encounter such weird things, so he ordered: "Ring the bell!"
