Chapter 2684 The Han Concubine Accompanies Her, Undergoes Bone-Scraping Treatment

Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

"Whoosh!" An ordinary arrow suddenly came flying in, as if tearing through the void.

After all, while the art of rapid shooting may not be as powerful as other archery techniques, its speed is unmatched by any other.

By the time Wang Yu realized what was happening, the arrow was already almost upon him.

Not to mention Yuwen Chengdu, who was still more than ten steps away, even Wang Yu, who was targeted by him, had almost no time to react at this moment.

At this point, Wang Yu could only twist his body with all his might to avoid vital points as much as possible.

"puff!"

Blood splattered as the arrow pierced Wang Yu's left shoulder.

Wang Yu groaned and swayed, but he managed to steady himself.

In contrast, Wu Weiguo's view was once again obstructed by soldiers from both sides, making it impossible for him to perceive Wang Yu's situation in time. He couldn't even determine whether the shots had actually hit their target.

Moreover, the current situation does not allow him to continue observing, so he can only retreat with the crowd.

"Your Majesty!" Yuwen Chengdu was shocked and furious. Ignoring his own shoulder injury, he immediately stood in front of Wang Yu.

The arrow was shot with exceptional skill, slipping perfectly through a gap in the armor. As a result, it penetrated very deeply, almost piercing through his entire shoulder. Blood flowed down the shaft, instantly staining the robe beneath his armor crimson.

Wang Yu glanced down, his face deathly pale, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and reached out to grip the arrow shaft.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!" Yuwen Chengdu exclaimed.

Wang Yu ignored him and suddenly exerted force on his hand.

"Click".

The arrow shaft snapped in two, and Wang Yu casually tossed the broken arrow to the ground, leaving only half of the arrowhead embedded in his flesh. Blood flowed even faster, but he managed to stand up and scanned his surroundings.

On the battlefield, chaos continued. The Flying Dragon Camp was retreating, and the Fire Cavalry was in pursuit. Everywhere there were sounds of fighting and screams. The Han soldiers were unaware that the emperor had been shot by an arrow and continued to fight valiantly.

"Soldiers, kill the enemy! Anyone who can behead three enemies will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces!" Wang Yu took a deep breath, straightened his back, pointed his sword forward, and roared to the sky.

"His Majesty has decreed that anyone who can behead three people will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

In an instant, as the Han soldiers gathered around Wang Yu roared, the sound carried further and further away. Before long, all the Han soldiers on the battlefield joined in the shouting, and the morale of the Han soldiers on the battlefield was greatly boosted. They all chased after the enemy with great enthusiasm.

Wu Weiguo, who was retreating, clearly saw the Han army's imposing momentum and was immediately filled with disappointment. Judging from the current situation, his arrow had most likely missed its mark.

"Yuwen Chengdu, heed my command!"

Wang Yu's voice remained calm, as if he were the one who had been hit by the arrow, not someone else.

Yuwen Chengdu was taken aback, then clasped his hands in greeting: "Your subordinate is here!"

"Lead the troops in pursuit! Do not allow the Flying Dragon Battalion to escape unscathed!"

Yuwen Chengdu looked at the wound on the emperor's shoulder, hesitated, and finally clasped his hands in a fist and said, "This humble general obeys!"

He mounted his horse, brandished his phoenix-winged gilded halberd, and shouted, "Everyone, follow me!" The cavalry surged once more, sweeping towards the retreating Flying Dragon Camp.

Wang Yu stood there, watching the departing figure, his face growing paler and paler.

…………

In a short while, the main tent of the Han army's makeshift camp was brightly lit.

When Wang Yu was helped into the tent, the wound on his left shoulder was still bleeding profusely. Due to excessive blood loss, his face was deathly pale.

The arrowhead was still embedded in his flesh, trembling slightly with each step, bringing waves of excruciating pain.

Chang Xi was already waiting in the tent at this time. He was the other Celestial-level expert who accompanied Wang Yu on this trip, besides Zhunti.

In the recent battle, Chang Xi was also entangled by the number one Celestial Realm expert in the Great Wu, but that person's strength was not as good as Chang Xi's. Perhaps he was considered good in the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm, but after all, he had not yet entered the late stage of the Celestial Realm. He could only rely on his superb movement skills to barely keep up with the opponent.

The reason Da Wu chose this person instead of someone else this time was because he was attracted by the other party's strange movement technique.

After the Flying Dragon Riders began their retreat, the Celestial-level expert followed suit, fleeing with injuries. Chang Xi did not pursue him but returned directly to Wang Yu's side to prevent Wang Yu's guards from being too weak and giving others an opportunity to take advantage.

The celestial guard, dressed in pure white with a cold expression, stood inside the tent. She did not step forward to help him up, but her gaze fell on the wound on Wang Yu's shoulder. Her brows furrowed slightly, and the faint aura emanating from her body enveloped the entire tent. Even at this moment, she did not forget her duty.

Wang Yu sat down by the couch, waved his hand, and signaled the person who had helped him in to leave.

The curtain fell, leaving only Chang Xi and another slender figure, Su Xiaoyong, inside.

This young lady was only in her early twenties, with a delicate and beautiful appearance, but she was not particularly noticeable in the palace. However, she had one skill: medicine.

Wang Yu only brought her along as one of his concubines on this expedition, precisely because of this.

According to custom, whenever Wang Yu went on a campaign, he would be accompanied by Consort Duanmu Rong, who would serve as his physician and take care of his health.

However, the fifteenth prince was still young, having been born not long ago, and still needed his mother's care. Therefore, this time, Su Xiaoyong, who had just officially entered the palace, was chosen to replace Duanmu Rong's duties as the emperor's personal physician in the capacity of a concubine.

At this moment, Su Xiaoyong knelt beside Wang Yu, carefully tearing open Wang Yu's inner shirt with scissors and cleaning away the congealed blood clots. When the wound was fully exposed, her movements suddenly stopped.

At the very center of the wound, a trickle of black blood was seeping out. The black blood was completely different from the dark red bloodstains around it, and it gleamed eerily under the lamplight, like some kind of ominous sign.

"Your Majesty, this arrow..." Su Xiaoyong's voice trembled slightly, "is poisoned."

Wang Yu glanced down, his expression unchanged.

"Can you handle it?"

Su Xiaoyong bit her lip, forcing herself to calm down. She carefully examined the wound and the streak of black blood, then took a deep breath.

"The poison on the arrow isn't particularly potent, but it's penetrated deep into the flesh. The wound must be cut open and the poison attached to the bone scraped away, otherwise..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was already clear.

As she said, the poison on the arrow was only ordinary poison. After all, Wu Weiguo was not a famous poison general and did not usually use poison.

This poison was something Wu Weiguo had prepared on the spot before setting off, just in case. Even he hadn't expected to need it. In fact, before the battle, even he hadn't imagined he would actually have the opportunity to secretly shoot an arrow at the Han Emperor.

The poison itself wasn't particularly troublesome; it was only because it had penetrated deep into the flesh that it was a bit difficult to treat.
