Chapter 489: Trapped in the City

Ye Zhong carried a bowl of thickly boiled herbs, climbed up the narrow stairs to the second floor, pushed open a closed door, and walked in.

The room was extremely small, and there was nothing else in the room except for a big dirty bed. As soon as one stepped into the door, there was an extremely unpleasant musty smell. It's cold outside, but the temperature inside the room is not much better than outside, it's like an ice cellar. In such a small inn, you don't have to think about having a brazier as a heating tool.

Ye Zhong sat on the edge of the bed, reached out to help a boy lying on the bed, leaned his head on his chest, and softly called out: "My lord, wake up, it's time to drink the medicine."

This seriously ill young man is Ye Tiannan's son, Ye Jing'er's only younger brother, Ye Feng.

Ye Zhong wanted to rescue Ye Tiannan in Tianhe County, but was rejected. Ye Tiannan had other plans in his mind. In desperation, Ye Zhong had no choice but to take Ye Feng away and head all the way to the west of Liaoxi. At that time, the bad news came that Ye Tiannan died in front of Yan Palace.

Ye Zhong had been prepared in his heart, but Ye Feng couldn't bear such a huge blow. In addition to being sad, he fell ill in Liaoxi City. Ye Zhong could only find a place to live in Liaoxi City. He still had a group of brothers under his command. Ye Zhong also let them out to find out the news. Spy, Ye Zhong doesn't dare to take it lightly. This Liaoxi city is currently occupied by the enemy, if you reveal your whereabouts, it is not a joke, let your martial arts go to the sky, surrounded by hundreds of people, you will have no way to go to heaven, and no way to go to earth. If it is paired with a crossbowman, there is not even the slightest chance.

Ye Feng has never suffered any blows or setbacks since he was a child. Even when the Ye family was in the most difficult time, he was protected by Ye Shi and Ye Jing'er, but this time, he was finally knocked down.

"Uncle Chong, are we still in Liaoxi City?" Weakly opened his eyes and glanced at Ye Zhong, he asked weakly.

"Yes, son, we are still in Liaoxi City."

"Is there any news about brother-in-law?"

Ye Zhong shook his head, "No, the brother sent out has not returned yet, and there is no news about him, but don't worry, your brother-in-law will be fine."

"I'm going to find him!" Ye Feng struggled a few times, but his whole body was limp and weak. He only straightened up a few times, and then fell limply into Ye Zhong's arms.

"My lord, the most important thing for you now is to recover from your illness. When you recover from your illness, we will go to Gao Yuan," Ye Zhong comforted.

Opening his mouth and taking a sip, Ye Feng frowned even deeper, "It's so bitter!"

"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease,

Young master, after drinking the medicine and getting a good sleep, you will recover faster. If you want to go to your brother-in-law earlier, you will get better sooner, right? "In Ye Zhong's eyes, Ye Feng is indeed still a child.

"I'll drink! I'll drink!" Ye Feng opened his mouth, gulping down the soup.

After drinking the medicine, Ye Feng fell into a deep sleep again, reached out and touched his still hot forehead, Ye Zhong's brows were deeply wrinkled, hiding in Liaoxi City, he dared not go to the doctor at all, although he also Knowing a little bit about medical science, he went to grab some herbs by himself, but after a few days, Ye Feng was experiencing bad weather and jet lag.

He stood up, took out a short knife from a pile of sundries in the corner, and hid it in his bosom. He couldn't drag it any longer. Such repeated fevers might completely wear down Ye Feng's body. Well, Ye Feng's body has been forged very strong in the past few years. If it weren't for this, he would have been unable to withstand it long ago, but if this continues, it will not be a problem. The Ye family is just such a root seedling, nothing can happen to it.

Walking to the door, he looked back at Ye Feng who was sleeping, he gritted his teeth and walked out. If you want to find a doctor with excellent medical skills, you will definitely not be able to find them in this west city. There are many wandering doctors in this place, but their medical skills may not even compare to Ye Zhong, so how can they treat Ye Feng.

Walking out of this small inn, Ye Zhong wrapped his cotton coat tightly around his body, a felt hat covered most of his face, lowered his head, and hurried forward, few people in Liaoxi City recognized him, But the people from Yan Lingwei who came after him had already seen his portrait. Although his appearance has changed a lot these days, he can hide it from ordinary people, but in front of these guys, anyone who is careful It is not an exaggeration.

Liaoxi City is in chaos now. When the news came that Zhou Yuan had defeated Donghu, Liaoxi County began mobilizing the whole county. The county soldiers from all counties gathered here. In the early stage, Zhang Junbao brought a group to attack Jishi City in Gaoyuan in the grassland. , Later, they were all under the command of Shi Pengbin, the chief of Liaoxi, preparing to stick to the city of Liaoxi.

Now in the city, there are about 20,000 young and strong people who have gathered temporarily, but in Ye Zhong's view, if the Donghu people call, if they really rely on the 20,000 young and strong to defend the city, they may not be able to hold on for a few days.

There are too many people in the city, and most of them are young and strong guys. Most of the generals in Liaoxi City followed Zhang Junbao to attack Jishi City. In Liaoxi City, there is only one Peng Bin left who can take care of things. Tin, no matter how busy you are, the law and order in this city suddenly became chaotic. The last elite soldiers of Liaoxi County soldiers in Piansheng City also set off to fight, and no one in the city could subdue these young men.

There was a noise of commotion in front, mixed with the sound of cursing and crying. Ye Zhong leaned as far as possible to the side of the street, pulled down his felt hat again, and looked up, but there was a small restaurant in front of him. A man dressed as a county soldier walked out while picking his teeth. Behind him was obviously the owner of this small restaurant closely chasing him. Seeing the boss's bruised nose and swollen face, it must be the county soldiers who refused to give him food after eating. Qian Fan beat up the boss, seeing the boss crying and chasing after him, Ye Zhong couldn't help but shook his head, this is really a pain in the ass.

Sure enough, as Ye Zhong expected, the soldier who was walking at the end turned around, brandished his unsheathed knife, and slapped the boss directly at the door of the store. went.

Since Zhang Shouyue's death in Liaoxi, it has been getting worse day by day. Ye Zhong sighed inwardly, it's a pity that Zhang Shouyue, the first hero, ended up like this in the end. Zhang Shubao died, and Zhang Junbao was obviously reduced to a pawn in Tan Feng's hands. Zhang Shouyue's lifelong struggle was in vain in just a few months.

Looking at the county soldiers who were drifting away, Ye Zhong suddenly thought of Gao Yuan and his Jishi City, wondering what happened to them now? If Jishi City is breached and Gao Yuan is defeated, then he can only take Ye Feng with him and hide his name from now on.

As soon as he thought of this, the chill on his body became heavier. He wrapped his clothes tightly, and Ye Zhong buried his head and hurried towards Dongcheng. The most urgent thing is to cure Ye Feng's illness.

Suddenly there was a rapid alarm bell in his ear, and Ye Zhong was stuck on the ground like a nail. He raised his head and looked at the towering bell tower in the distance. Different bells represent different meanings, and such a rapid The sound of the bell only represented one thing, that is, the enemy invaded Liaoxi City.

Do Donghu people come so fast? impossible! In an instant, countless thoughts swirled in Ye Zhong's mind.

Liaoxi City Sheriff's Mansion, Chief Shi Pengbin was trembling all over, looking at the messenger standing in front of him with a dusty face, he couldn't believe his ears.

Losing just like that, the tens of thousands of troops did not take down Jishi City, but were defeated by Gao Yuan?

"Tan Feng, Zhou Yu, you shameless bastards!" Peng Bin roared hoarsely. He never imagined that in the end, Tan Feng and Zhou Yu shamelessly betrayed Zhang Junbao after losing the battle. Gave it to Gao Yuan in exchange for their safe departure.

Sitting down on the chair slumped, he felt exhausted. What does defeat mean? Of course, he understands that all previous efforts have been wasted, and what awaits him next is a catastrophe.

Zhang Junbao, Wu Yi, and Zhang Zhuo all fell into Gao Yuan's hands, which also means that Jiu killed Zhang Shouyue and ambushed Zhang Junbao. The matter must be revealed to the world. That's more than enough.

"Chang Shi, there are still more than 20,000 young and strong in the city. There is no shortage of weapons and equipment, and there is enough food. Hurry up and call the county captains and prepare to defend against the enemy!" An official beside him said anxiously, "Gao Yuan has many cavalry soldiers. , what the messenger reported was more than ten days ago, if he can get here, the cavalry of the other side will also come to the city immediately."

Peng Bin raised his head, looked at the official like an idiot, resisted, what resisted, just relying on this group of messy county soldiers in this city? If Zhang Junbao and Zhang Zhuo were still in the city, they might be able to subdue these guys, so why should I? Most of the county lieutenants who lead the troops in these counties are Zhang Shouyue's personal soldiers. I'm afraid that after the truth is revealed to the world, these old immortals will be the first to kill themselves!

"Yes, yes, hurry up and call them to the Sheriff's Mansion to discuss how to rescue the Sheriff!" Peng Bin waved his hand, "Go and notify immediately."

Seeing the official leave in a hurry, Peng Bin stood up and ran to the back. A moment later, he was dressed in a green cap and casual clothes, and rushed towards the city gate with several cronies.

Ye Chong was lying on the bell tower, beside him, a veteran who was ringing the bell was lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. At the end of his sight, Ye Zhong saw countless cavalrymen galloping towards him, and the eye-catching high character on the flag flying high made him feel tears welling up in his eyes.

Gaoyuan, after all, is still Gaoyuan. He lived up to Ye Xiang's expectations, he came. rs
