"Uncle Niu!
Uncle Niu! "
The Jia Lian shouted in panic.
He risked his left abdomen being cut by the broadsword.
After stabbing the Xiongnu centurion in front of him to death,
He hurriedly urged his horse to rush to Niu Jin's side.
Ran Feng, Chi Cang, and the others did not break out of the encirclement.
They spontaneously formed a circle to protect the Jia Lian and Niu Jin.
"Cough cough... Ugh..." Niu Jin coughed twice.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the past, his voice was always loud like a bell.
It made the Jia Lian complain and roar. Under the intense pain and blood loss,
He had no choice but to become weak.
"... Go... Quickly take them away... Uncle... Uncle will soon... soon... follow..." Niu Jin said intermittently.
He tried hard to stand up with his right hand.
However, the pain from his right shoulder blade, abdomen, and thigh made it futile.
The Jia Lian was filled with regret and hatred.
Tears flowed down his face.
He sobbed and said, "Uncle Niu.
It's all my fault!
It's all my fault! "
If he hadn't been greedy and rash, tens of thousands of Da Zhou's soldiers wouldn't have been ambushed by Xiongnu's people. Thousands of his brothers wouldn't have been ambushed and killed. Uncle Niu would also have been shot by a hidden arrow and fell to the ground with serious injuries!
All of this was because of him!
"Go... Go quickly!!!"
Niu Jin endured the intense pain and pushed the Jia Lian's chest away.
However, the loss of blood and the intense pain caused him to only give Jia Lian a light push.
"Go!
Go together! "
The Jia Lian gritted his teeth with tears in his eyes.
He bent down, placed his left hand under Niu Jin's armpit, and placed his right hand on the bend of his leg.
He hugged him tightly.
"Don't act like a child..." Niu Jin felt his life slipping away bit by bit.
He had a premonition that he was doomed this time.
At this moment..,
Not far away, there was a loud shout: "Da Zhou is mighty!!
"
The expression of the cunning Dong Muhe changed.
He didn't want to continue fighting, "The Zhou reinforcements have arrived!
Pass down the order, retreat!
Although they had not been able to completely wipe out the ten thousand Zhou cavalry, they had killed half of them. The results were not bad, and they had even killed the Zhou Great General. This was already a result that exceeded their expectations.
Xiongnu's people retreated like the tide.
"Doctor!
Doctor!
The Jia Lian carried Niu Jin and stumbled onto Ben Xiao. He urged the horse to gallop, shouting himself hoarse.
Ran Feng and the others cleared the way for him.
"This … what's going on?
Jia Daishan arrived with tens of thousands of Zhou soldiers, only to see his son covered in blood and holding Niu Jin, who had been shot by several arrows.
He knew that the situation was critical, so he didn't ask any questions. He directly handed the command of the army to General Kou's Gongsun Yue and continued to command the army to pursue Xiongnu's people.
He went to bring the most skilled doctor in the army, Doctor Li, to Niu Jin.
"Doctor!
How is it?
What happened to Uncle Niu?
Tell me quickly! "
The Jia Lian held the doctor's hand and asked anxiously.
Doctor Li was sixty-two years old this year. He was very old, and his hand, which he had only used to take pulses and boil medicine, was hurt by the Jia Lian's grip, as if it was about to break.
Looking at the Jia Lian's expression and murderous aura, Doctor Li felt as if he would be stabbed to death by the Jia Lian's spear if he was late to answer. He hurriedly endured the pain and replied: "The General's arrow is made of iron.
The arrowhead is made of iron, and there are grooves on both sides. The grooves contain poison.
Once the iron arrow is shot into the body, the arrowhead will be embedded in the body and cannot be pulled out.
"
"Then what is it?"
The Jia Lian's mind was in a mess, and he did not have the patience to listen to his long speech.
Doctor Li wanted to say something, but hesitated: "This …" The shaft of the iron arrow could be pulled out, but the arrowhead was embedded in Niu Jin's left shoulder blade, right shoulder blade, abdomen, left thigh, and right thigh. Pulling it out was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Moreover, the poison in Niu Jin's body had already entered his internal organs. If it was not for Niu Jin's profound internal energy, which allowed him to circulate his internal energy to resist, he would have already died.
Speaking of which, when Niu Jin first joined the army, he saw that Doctor Li's medical skills were superb and dragged him into the army.
He talked reason, but Niu Jin talked with his fists. Since his fists were inferior, Doctor Li could only pack up his medical box and move into the army camp.
She had been living there for forty years.
Even Doctor Li, who was used to seeing life and death, could not help but tear up.
"You're lying!
You have a way!
You must have a way! "
The Jia Lian said emotionally. He grabbed Doctor Li's clothes and knelt down with a plop.
"I beg you!
I beg you on my knees!
You … you have to think of a way to save Uncle Niu! "
At this moment, the Jia Lian was so humble.
Doctor Li's face was filled with guilt and he was speechless.
"Cough cough … Enough … Don't make things difficult for Old Li."
Niu Jin coughed a few times.
"Uncle Niu …" The Jia Lian sobbed.
Looking at Niu Jin's frowning and weak appearance, his eyes suddenly became blurry.
Tears flowed out of Jia Lian's eyes, and he began to cry like a child.
"You're already an adult … You're going to marry a woman soon … Don't make a fool of yourself …" Niu Jin smiled weakly.
"It's all my fault … Sob … Uncle Niu … It's all my fault … Sob sob …" The Jia Lian couldn't stop sobbing and tears flowed down his face.
"Silly child …" Niu Jin raised his hand with difficulty and wanted to wipe the Jia Lian's tears away.
His rough, calloused hand pressed against the Jia Lian's face.
"Uncle went to the battlefield at the same age as you … I was already prepared … to die … on the battlefield …" Niu Jin stuttered.
"Come … closer … closer …" The Jia Lian sobbed and hurriedly moved his head closer.
"Uncle … has lived a muddle-headed life … Towards everyone … Based on … His Majesty's … trust … no conspiracy … could harm … my life … So today uncle … can still sit in the high court … drink wine and eat meat … living a glorious life … Of the enemies … there aren't many left alive …" Niu Jin deliberately lowered his voice so that even the Jia Daishan and Old Doctor Li, who were close by, couldn't hear him.
Niu Jin had been running rampant in the court with the image of an old hooligan for decades, but he was still doing well and no one dared to provoke him.
This was enough to prove that Niu Jin wasn't really an old hooligan. On the contrary, he was an old fox, a cunning old fox.
"Chaotic world" was also a kind of attitude. Perhaps it would cause a lot of trouble for no reason, but it would give oneself a very realistic layer of protection.
With this layer of protection, everyone would be afraid of you, but no one would dare to provoke you.
"You child … show off too much … In the past, uncle was here … I could always protect … you a little … But … in the future …" In these years, the Jia Lian had overshadowed all the other princes and was the only one who was favored by the Emperor. He had long been an eyesore to many people.
However, with Emperor Wen Of Zhou holding the fort, Wang Yi and Niu Jin, one civil and one military, and Dai Quan and Feng Zizhi watching from the shadows, it was safe on the surface.
"Without saying anything … Roll up your sleeves … In the end, it's hard to avoid … enmity … In one's life … one more enemy … means … one more danger … One more enemy … One more enemy … One more enemy … One more death …" Niu Jin held his breath and earnestly warned.
The Jia Lian clenched his teeth, afraid that the sound of crying would come out of his mouth again. He could only nod repeatedly.
"His Majesty … liking you … is your blessing … and also your trouble … remember … scholarly achievements and official titles … you have to rely on your own … hands to earn them … wealth and honor … is more reliable than anyone else's …" Seeing the Jia Lian repeatedly nod his head, it was clear that he had engraved it in his heart. Only then did Niu Jin feel relieved.
"Uncle's … several rascals … all of them are strong … but they are all … foolish … fighting on the battlefield … using their strength … it's okay … but … none of them have … a plan … You are a good child … and have good luck … in the future … you will become the Prime Minister … it's not … impossible … to have more contact with uncle's boys … maybe … one day when the Niu family is in trouble … we will need you to save us …" Niu Jin's usually carefree face showed a rare expression of worry. At this moment, he was just an old father who was worried about his child.
"Aunts Black and White have always treated me like a nephew. Jiizong's elder brother is honest and considerate. He has a close relationship with me, and I also see my younger brothers as my own brothers!
In the future, as long as I have food to eat, I will never let aunts, elder brothers, and younger brothers starve! "
The Jia Lian fiercely wiped the tears from his face and made a firm promise.
"Good child … uncle didn't dote on you in vain!"
Niu Jin's pale face suddenly flushed red.
"In the future, let Jiizong be the one to charge and break through the enemy lines!"
With him here, whether it is the Emperor or other people, they will have to give Laozi some face.
Don't protect him too well because of Laozi!
The children of the Niu family are not afraid of trouble and can withstand the storm!
You brothers need to be in the same boat and share weal and woe together! "
Niu Jin knew that if he didn't remind him, the Jia Lian would protect the Niu family well in the future. If they encountered trouble, he would stand up for himself and not let Jiizong and the others suffer the slightest grievance.
"Yes!
Lian and Jiizong's elder brother should share weal and woe, and share weal and woe together. "
The Jia Lian knew that Niu Jin was reflecting the light of the setting sun, so he suppressed his sadness and said.
"Haha!
This is Laozi's nephew!
Remember that the Niu family is your home!
You are Laozi's nephew, and you can come and go as you please!
Even if you set the Niu family on fire, it's up to you. Laozi will never blame … Little Lian!
Don't be polite to Laozi.
Do you understand? "
Niu Jin patted his chest and laughed loudly. The pain in his body also lessened with his laughter.
"Unfortunately, Laozi won't be able to see the scene of those little rascals getting married and having children.
But it doesn't matter. Just by thinking about it, those little rascals will naturally give birth to little rascals!
The two madams will definitely raise them to be strong and sturdy!
Laozi has five children, Laozi won't count too many!
Each of them will give birth to three children, three in five, one in fifteen, and one in a row. Fifteen strong fellows walking on the streets of the capital, anyone who sees them will feel fear in their heart! "
Niu Jin beamed with joy as he imagined the appearance of his grandson.
He excitedly imparted the secret: "Little Lian!
Laozi will tell you!
Marry a woman!
You can't look at her appearance!
Appearance is fake, only by looking at her butt will you know if she can bear children … "
"There is no one who can be like your black and white aunts, beautiful … and give birth to a boy … and … virtuous …" As he spoke, Niu Jin slowly closed his eyes. His face was once again covered with a layer of deathly pale and … an aura of death.
"Uncle Niu!
Uncle Niu! "
The Jia Lian panicked and threw himself on Niu Jin's chest and shouted.
"Don't be noisy …" Niu Jin weakly patted the Jia Lian's hand.
"Give Laozi … Laozi … an apology to that damned eunuch …" Niu Jin was the most stubborn. Even at this moment, his mouth was still unforgiving.
"That damned eunuch … is not a good person … but to you … there is nothing to say …"
"Remember … don't get involved in the matter of the crown prince … a dog that bites doesn't bark … the most insolent ones … will not be the last … one … if … forced … to support … Li Tian …" Niu Jin couldn't say the last word. His words suddenly stopped, and his head weakly leaned to the side.
"Uncle Niu!
Uncle Niu!
Wake up! "
A wave of panic hit the Jia Lian. He helplessly patted Niu Jin's face, hoping that Niu Jin would sneak into Niu Jin's room and use the oxtail grass to tease Niu Jin's nose, just like when he and Niu Jizong were young. Niu Jin would suddenly jump up and use his Giant Spirit Bear Paw to slap Niu Jin's head. He would curse, "What the hell are you shouting for? Laozi wanted to take a nap, but I was woken up by you brat!
Believe it or not, Laozi will beat you to death! "
However, this time, Niu Jin was really tired. He slept very soundly. No matter how the Jia Lian slapped his face, or even pinched his nose, he didn't have the slightest reaction.
Slowly, the Jia Lian put down his hands and lowered his head. His shoulders were trembling.
He seemed to still hear Niu Jin's forthright laughter. He walked to Ben Xiao's side, mounted the horse, and urged it to gallop.
"Lian 'er!"
"Marquis!"
Jia Daishan, Ran Feng, and Chi Cang shouted nervously.
