Chapter 377: Fire in the Military Camp
Chapter 377: Fire in the Military Camp
The prince sensed that something was wrong, so he quickly pulled open Han Qingshan's clothes to look at his wound, and found that he had indeed been poisoned.
"This arrow is poisoned! These despicable people only use such despicable means!"
The prince held Han Qingshan with one hand and said angrily.
He himself had been poisoned, so when he saw Han Qingshan's condition, he knew that he was poisoned.
The prince suddenly remembered something, and quickly took out a medicine bottle from his arms, opened it, poured out a pill and gave it to Han Qingshan to take.
These are the detoxification pills made from blood ganoderma given to him by Doctor Fang. He still has some left and he carries them with him all the time.
He had heard from Doctor Fang that the detoxifying pills made from blood ganoderma could detoxify many kinds of poisons, and he hoped that it would work for Han Qingshan.
Han Qingshan was poisoned in order to save him. He must save him at all costs and must not let anything happen to him.
After Han Qingshan took the pill, his complexion looked better and his breathing became more even, but he still did not wake up.
However, it was impossible to withdraw from the battle and take Han Qingshan to see the imperial physician at this time. The prince ordered several people around him to protect Han Qingshan. He led others to besiege the mustache man.
On the other side, Emperor Qiyuan's secret guard took Yang Zhi out of Luo Mansion and explained the situation in the palace to him.
What else did Yang Zhi not understand? Luo Xiang should also be in the same group as King Xiaoyao. What he did to him today was premeditated, just to keep him in Luo Mansion and prevent him from going to the palace for support!
Yang Zhi clenched his fist. Luo Xiang seemed like a good guy, with a good personality and was approachable. He didn't expect that he was a hidden spy! The barking dog really bites!
However, the most urgent task is to rush back to the military camp and lead the troops to the palace to rescue the emperor.
Although Yang Zhi took the pill, his physical strength could not be restored immediately, and his body was still weak. The secret guard found a horse, and the two of them rode together and headed out of the city.
The two of them left the city quickly, and the journey was smooth. However, when they were less than two miles away from the military camp, they saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of the military camp.
"General Yang, is there a fire in the barracks?"
The secret guard saw the scene in front and asked Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Hurry up and go over to see what's going on."
The secret guard whipped the horse and it went faster.
As the distance got closer, they saw not only thick smoke, but also flames rising into the sky.
Neither of them spoke any more, but their expressions became more and more solemn.
When he arrived at the military camp, Yang Zhi's heart sank completely, because he saw that the fire was in the granary.
The camp was in chaos. Soldiers were busy, carrying water, running, and shouting...
After all, the military camp is a place with strict discipline. No matter how big the incident is, we should remain calm and orderly.
The current situation was because Luo Xiang invited most of the titled generals in the barracks to attend the wedding banquet. The soldiers were confused and acted without order.
Luo Xiang is not only scheming, but also cruel and ruthless!
The war just ended not long ago and food is already in short supply. Now setting fire to their military rations is like cutting off the fuel from the fire!
However, Yang Zhi was a great general after all, and he did not lose his composure because of the bad situation.
He quickly formulated a fire-fighting plan, summoned several small leaders who remained in the barracks, and reassigned them tasks.
But the secret guard of Emperor Qiyuan was extremely anxious. He knew that the fire in the military camp was a serious matter and needed to be dealt with urgently. But the palace also needed emergency support, and he didn't know what was going on with the emperor.
Yang Zhi was also concerned about the things happening in the palace, but he was too busy to handle everything. The army is the foundation of a country, and how could he just ignore such a big thing?
If an enemy takes this opportunity to attack them, the consequences will be disastrous!
At this time, Yang Zhi couldn't help but think of Shen Qingqian. If Shen Qingqian was still alive, things would not have become so bad. It was all the emperor's own fault. Alas!
Looking at the anxious secret guards, Yang Zhi sighed in his heart and said, "How about this, I will send 5,000 soldiers to follow you back for rescue. I will deal with the affairs in the barracks as soon as possible and then I will be there."
"Okay, thank you General Yang."
The secret guards also knew that if Yang Zhi left the barracks at this time, the army would become a mess, and it would be bad if the enemy took advantage of the opportunity to attack.
The best way is to take 5,000 men back first. According to the situation in the palace, 5,000 men should be enough to rescue the siege.
Yang Zhi selected 5,000 men and asked Zhang Hu to lead the team and follow the secret guards back to rescue.
Luo Xiang also invited Zhang Hu today, but Yang Zhi did not let him go. Without Shen Qingqian, Zhang Hu became his right-hand man, so Yang Zhi let him stay in the barracks.
Facts have proved that Yang Zhi is a prudent general, otherwise he would not have a trustworthy person to send out at this time.
Who knows which one of these young generals is Luo Xiang’s man?
The secret guard was extremely anxious and couldn't wait to leave with Zhang Hu and five thousand people.
It’s a pity that it’s easy for them to leave the city but difficult to return!
Just when they were about to reach the city gate, they unexpectedly met King Xiaoyao.
After escaping from the mansion, Prince Xiaoyao left the city. He first simply buried Concubine Dong, and then prepared to capture the capital with thousands of troops guarding outside the city.
When the two groups met, they confronted each other for a short while before they started fighting without any prior arrangement.
At the palace gate, the prince was so furious that he finally killed the man with a mustache with a sword.
The people on the mustache side also suffered heavy casualties. There were four or five thousand of them when they arrived, but now there are less than two thousand left.
Han Qingshan's imperial guards and the prince's men totaled more than 3,000 people, so they had a good chance of winning.
But the prince was so determined to kill the little mustache and avenge Han Qingshan that he fought too aggressively, somewhat disregarding his own safety. While killing the little mustache with one sword, he himself was captured by the little mustache's people.
The person who captured the prince was Little Beard's brother. Because the prince had just killed Little Beard, Little Beard's brother also wanted to kill the prince with one sword to avenge Little Beard.
But a short man stopped him, saying that the prince could not be killed yet and that he would be useful if kept alive.
The brother with the mustache hated the prince at this moment, so he was a little reluctant about what the short man said.
The short man whispered a few words in his ear before he handed the prince over to the short man.
The short man put the sword on the prince's neck and said to the guards: "Open the palace gate and let us in, or I will kill him with my sword now!"
The crown prince is the future heir to the throne, so of course the imperial guards have to take his life into consideration.
