Xiahou Ninghan suppressed her anger, took advantage of the dark sky and difficulty in seeing, followed closely behind the Turks, and arrived at Beizhao Temple.
Although there are many sentries here and the security is tight, but for ordinary people, masters like Xiahou Ninghan will not take it seriously at all. With her ghostly speed and a few light lifting skills, she slipped through the cover of the big tree house and quietly slipped into the town.
Beizhao Temple now has no other Turkic troops except Ge Shuxuan's troops, so it is logical that he occupies the most central position in the town. Xiahou Ninghan hid on the roof, roughly identified the direction, and easily reached the township government office of Beizhao Temple.
Things turned out just as she expected. Brother Shuxuan now regarded the township government office as his base, where he worked and rested.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Brother Shuxuan was very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of the poison soldiers. He turned to his assistant Shukeman and smiled: "Look, let me tell you, it is very feasible for poison soldiers to be used in war. Although in There are still some minor problems in command and coordination, but the combat effectiveness is definitely much higher than that of ordinary combat troops."
"The best part is that it doesn't cost the lives of our Turkic people." Shukman also laughed: "Young Master, now the method of tempering the soul-taking sand has matured, and the dosage and proportion are mastered, as well as the corresponding differences. We have also come to various conclusions about the effects. In my opinion, it is time to form a large-scale poison army."
Ge Shuxuan nodded: "The soul-absorbing sand has always been an ancient legend recorded in the secret book of the Ghost Dou clan. Unexpectedly, it has become a reality in my hands. This is the blessing of the Ghost Dou clan, and it is also a blessing for the Turks." Blessings to the empire! From now on, the poisonous soldiers who are not afraid of death will sweep across the world, and both the Western Continent and the Eastern Continent will eventually become our fertile soil."
Shukman bowed sincerely: "Young master is wise! Now our Gui Dou tribe is really going to feel proud. No matter how powerful the warriors are from the Golden Tribe or the Yelun Tribe, they will still be trampled under the feet of the Poison Soldiers. !”
Ge Shuxuan looked forward to the future of glory, with a soft gleam on his stern face. He nodded slightly and asked: "Shukeman, how many poison soldiers have passed the test so far? How much reserve of soul-destroying sand is left?"
"Young Master," Shukman introduced like a treasure trove: "As of yesterday, a total of 723 poison soldiers have withstood the violent poison of the soul-destroying sand. Their body functions are intact and they are ready to fight at any time. As for that, The amount of sand is enough to temper a thousand people..."
Brother Shuxuan frowned slightly: "So few? Which part of the raw materials is insufficient?"
Shukman responded: "Those ordinary poisons are easy to handle. No matter whether it is the Ghost Dou tribe or the Holy Tang, they can be collected anytime and anywhere. It's just lead... this thing is too rare and difficult to get."
"Lead mass, lead mass..." Ge Shuxuan muttered it twice, and suddenly said: "I remember Prince Gunie once said that there seems to be a lead mine in Guimo, Western Xinjiang, right?"
Shukman nodded: "I have also heard about this. At that time, the Great Khan wanted records of the products in Western Xinjiang, and the report compiled and compiled by Prince Gunie's men mentioned the news of the lead mine."
"Do you remember which country you are in?"
"Oh, damn me, my impression is a bit blurry." Shukman blamed himself: "I reminded myself before that I must remember to implement the lead ore, but then I was busy refining the poison soldiers, so I just forgot about it. I ignored it, please forgive me, young master."
Ge Shuxuan waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. Anyway, that mine won't grow legs on its own and run away. Just go back and ask Prince Gunie. Then, think of a way to ask the Great Khan to issue an order to remove the lead mine." Take it from Gema and give it to us."
Shukman looked troubled and said hesitantly: "Young Master, haven't you heard? Something seems to have happened in Western Xinjiang."
Brother Shuxuan couldn't help being slightly startled: "Something happened? What happened?"
"I don't know the specific situation. The senior leaders of the Golden Tribe are very secretive about this and keep the news very tight." Shukman said: "However, the Eleventh Army and the Blood Guard Cavalry Army have already set off one after another, all heading to the west. "
Then he added: "And... walking in a hurry."
Ge Shuxuan was confused: "What? Even Tan Li and Yun Qianxue were dispatched? This is really weird. Since the Golden Wolf Army came out of seclusion, they have been avoiding the battlefield and will not fight if they can. This time After all, it’s time to go to the battlefield. But where is my senior brother? He shoulders the responsibility of protecting the Great Khan. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not be able to fight. Could it be..."
Shukman nodded slightly: "Well, it's probably because something happened to Gema."
"Rebellion?" Ge Shuxuan's eyes lit up: "Could it be that the Ye Lun Clan is rebelling?"
Shukman chewed his teeth and said: "Tsk tsk, it's very possible. The two princes of the Golden Clan are fighting fiercely for the throne. Gema obviously supports Chili, and Yun Qianxue is Tanli's best friend. Khan sent Tanli and Yun Qianxue to partner up and led more than 100,000 troops to attack the Western Border with great momentum. It was obvious that they were going towards the Yelun tribe."
Ge Shuxuan frowned: "But it doesn't make sense. In this Eastern Expedition, Chili fought bravely and made many military exploits. It was at the time when he was favored by the Great Khan, and Gema was appointed as the governor of Western Xinjiang. , it’s like getting a huge job out of thin air, the two of them are so smooth sailing, there’s no reason for them to commit suicide.”
"Who knows?" Shukman pondered: "If it wasn't the Gema rebellion, could it be that there were some great changes in Western Xinjiang or the Western Continent?"
Ge Shuxuan shook his head: "If there is a problem in the Western Continent, my father will definitely send someone to notify me as soon as possible, so it probably won't happen. As for the Ghost Desert in Western Xinjiang, I really don't understand, what kind of power can there be there?" , even the Yakut Army can't suppress it, so I have to alert my senior brother to take action."
He paused for a moment, stared at Shukman and said in a deep voice: "I think we shouldn't make any guesses here. Whether it's the Yelun tribe's rebellion or the chaos in Western Xinjiang, it has nothing to do with me. They are willing to fight, Then just go ahead and fight, it doesn’t matter if a man’s head hits a dog’s head! I only care about the Poison Soldier Legion and the lead mine!”
"Understood, young master!" Shukman responded: "I will go to the imperial capital tomorrow. I will go to Prince Gune first to verify the matter of the lead mine."
Ge Shuxuan knew that this assistant had always done things reliably, so he nodded with relief and told him to step aside and rest while he put on his cloak and planned to go to the poison refining room at the back.
The Poison Soldier has now successfully passed the trial stage and gradually entered mass production. The more it is at this time, the more concentrated it is on research and continuous exploration and mastery of the effectiveness of Soul-Capturing Sand.
Brother Shuxuan walked to the poison refining room alone without any guards, pushed open the door and entered. Because there are a large number of precious poisons and many out-of-print toxicology books stored here, Ge Shuxuan designated it as a forbidden area. Soldiers only set up sentries outside the house, and no one was allowed to enter the small courtyard in front of the house.
He lit a few lamps in the room, lifted his robe and sat at the table. He then looked through a few volumes of poison quenching records in recent days, and suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"Who is it? Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Hou Ninghan, dressed in night clothes, appeared at the door in a blink of an eye.
Brother Shuxuan raised his eyes and was immediately shocked by the other party's beautiful face. Even though he was dressed in black, he could not hide Xiahou Ninghan's fairy-like temperament.
"Who are you?" Ge Shuxuan asked in Shengtang language: "Why are you here?"
Xia Hou Ning stared coldly at the young Turkic man and asked instead, "Are you Ge Shuxuan?"
Brother Shuxuan smiled casually: "That's right, I wonder what I call the girl?"
Xiahou Ninghan still didn't answer his question and continued: "Were you the one who created the Blood Demon and the Soul Eater?"
Upon hearing this, Ge Shuxuan reacted, stood up and said, "Have you seen them?"
"Not only have I seen them," Xiahou Ninghan replied proudly, "I have also personally ended their suffering."
There was a faint chill in Ge Shuxuan's eyes: "So, you are Li Bing's man?"
Seeing that the other party mentioned the prince, Xiahou Ninghan became even more convinced that it was indeed the Turks who wanted to murder Li Bing. Although it is still unclear why they wanted to do this and what benefits they would gain from doing so, the other party obviously knew the purpose of the poisonous soldiers' assassination. thing.
Xia Houning laughed coldly: "Brother Shu Xuan, you have lost all humanity and lost all conscience! Tell me, do you want to kill yourself? Or do you want me to do it?"
Brother Shuxuan showed no fear. Instead, he couldn't help but laugh: "You are so strange. You don't introduce yourself to your family, and you talk nonsense as soon as you get up. Okay, I want to see, why do you want to take my life?" ?Rely on beauty?"
"You're looking for death!" Xiahou Ninghan hated him to the core, but she didn't expect this guy to be so frivolous. She suddenly frowned, shook her hand and stabbed out her brother Shu Xuan with a sword.
Ever since he became a master of martial arts, Xiahou Ninghan rarely used weapons when fighting with others. Today, he was obviously really angry and had no scruples in attacking.
The two were originally two or three feet apart, but they didn't expect Xiahou Ninghan's movement to be extremely fast. Almost in the blink of an eye, the sword edge pierced his brother Shu Xuan, and at the same time a strong internal force completely enveloped him. Making it impossible to dodge easily.
Brother Shuxuan was immediately shocked and secretly cursed himself for being too trusting, thinking that it would be easy to deal with the other person because she was beautiful, but he never imagined that this beauty could be so terrifying.
At the critical moment, Ge Shuxuan knew that he could not block the opponent's fierce attack, so he had to use his internal strength, suddenly broke away from Xiahou Ninghan's aura, flew through the wooden window, and fled outside the house.
Xiahou Ninghan had expected that he would use this move, so he chased after him without hesitation, and also broke through the window and came outside. As soon as it hit the ground, the long sword immediately shook out countless sword flowers, which continued to cover Brother Shuxuan.
Flowers bloom on the cold sword, while flying snow falls.
One after another, the cold and biting sword energy directly hit nine key points on Brother Shuxuan's body.
