The Human Emperor (200-400)

C292: Saving Su Hanshan!

After reading the letter in his hand, Li Bing heaved a long sigh of relief, and his tense expression finally loosened.

"Chong gongzi, my father wants me to relay a question to you. If we were to allow you to take him away today, will you promise not to leak the slightest news about what the happenings today?" Holding onto the letter, Li Bing stared at Wang Chong intently.

"The letter is indeed from Duke of Liu!" Wang Chong was taken aback. But giving it some thoughts, given the effort the Duke of Liu Residence had put into capturing Su Hanshan, there was no way Duke of Liu was not keeping tabs on the operation.

"Don't worry, I know what I should do. You can tell the Duke of Liu that he can regard it as though nothing had happened today. There won't be the slightest rumor detrimental to the Duke of Liu Residence coming from our Wang Clan." Wang Chong replied earnestly. His goal was only to save Su Hanshan. Everything aside from that was not within his consideration.

"Alright, you can take that lad away then. Chong gongzi, I hope that you can remember the promise you just made… Retreat!" Li Bing nodded before waving his hand, beckoning his group to leave.

His departure was so decisive and abrupt that even Wang Chong was stunned for an instant.

The group of twenty or so men disappeared without a trace very quickly, and even the corpses on the ground were hauled away.

"This Duke of Liu sure is decisive! Brother Su... Brother Su? Brother Su! Old Eagle, come over and support him!"

As soon as Wang Chong turned around, he saw Su Hanshan's tense body slackening, and his body fell to the ground.

As soon as Li Bing left and the danger was averted, the taut string that was holding onto Su Hanshan consciousness finally snapped.

Wang Chong hurriedly fed Su Hanshan the recovery pill before having Old Eagle carry him back to the Wang Clan.

Su Hanshan's external injuries were already terrifying enough, but Wang Chong knew that his internal injuries were even more severe.

As soon as the tension left his body, blood immediately started flowing profusely from his multiple wounds.

Under normal circumstances, one would be doomed if one were to sustain such grievous wounds. It was only by feeding him three Resuscitation Pills from the royal court that were bought from Six-fingered Zhang for fifty thousand gold taels each that Wang Chong managed to preserve his life.

As Su Hanshan's wounds finally stabilized, an extremely powerful aura of vitality suddenly gushed forth from the depths of Su Hanshan's body, hastening his recuperation.

About three days later, with a low groan, Su Hanshan finally roused from his coma.

"You're awake!"

A smile emerged on Wang Chong's face as he looked at Su Hanshan. This fellow had finally awoken. If he really died like this, Wang Chong would be put in a spot.

After all, he was destined to be a great general in the future, a valuable asset of the empire!

Talents like him were extremely limited in the Central Plains. It would be a huge loss to Great Tang were he to die just like that.

His vitality sure is ridiculous!, Wang Chong thought as he looked at Su Hanshan.

He had found a physician to take a look at Su Hanshan, and all in all, the latter had suffered around thirty deep cuts, seventeen of which left gaping holes through his body. One was even right beside his heart.
