Volume 3 Chapter 197 Make a decision and then act
Hu Yanyue really didn't trust Bai Fei.
She is the head coach of the Huyan family and has many things to consider. The opponent appeared on this battlefield for no reason, and it was full of many variables. If the other party is really a spy of the Duanmu family, if he is not handled carefully, it will have a fatal impact on the Huyan family. Yes, he saved the lives of Hu Yanxue and Hu Yanzheng, but who knows if this is a trick by the other party? Therefore, on the one hand, she treated his injuries, and on the other hand, she sent someone to guard him. This could not only appease Hu Yanxue's heart, but also ensure that he would not let him discover military secrets.
Come and try it quickly. 】
In recent months, Hu Yanxue's thoughts have gradually withdrawn from Bai Fei, because there are bigger troubles waiting for her. In the past, the Huyan family and the Duanmu family had mutual successes and failures, whether in frontal battlefield confrontations or in grain-stealing operations in the rear. However, in recent months, the Huyan family has faced defeat. If someone hadn't provided the information to the other party, the outcome would never have been like this!
This is a very terrible thing! If a spy appears in the Huyan family, then this battle will be really difficult! Looking back on the many situations she had encountered in the past few months, Hu Yanyue became more and more certain that someone was causing trouble!
is it him?
Hu Yanyue often asks herself. However, when this happened, he was always unconscious! Even though he had regained consciousness in the past month, his personal guards did not let him leave his sight.
Half a month ago, Hu Yanyue gritted her teeth and sent a message to the rear to suspend the delivery of grain and grass to the first column. On the other side, she continued to send good soldiers deep into the enemy's territory, but just like before, not only could they not rob food and grass, but the good soldiers sent out were basically wiped out.
I only have a few days’ worth of food left! Before the truth came out, Hu Yanyue never thought about asking the rear to continue to deliver food and grass. Even if he did, it would be a benefit to the Duanmu family, but there was nothing he could do with the Duanmu family's food and grass. After a few days, the army was out of food. , if the Duanmu family army attacks, how will I respond?
The more Hu Yanyue thought about it, the more troubled she became.
Hu Yanyue actually didn't want to summon Bai Fei alone, but when it came to the issue of food and grass, she had to think a lot more. She didn't believe that Bai Fei had a solution to this problem, so she agreed to summon Bai Fei more out of the sake of her sister Hu Yanxue's face!
This little girl! Hu Yanyue shook her head and sighed secretly in her heart.
On this day, Bai Fei finally entered Hu Yanyue's coach's camp for the first time.
Hu Yanyue was the only one inside the tent, and even outside the tent, there was no guard from her bodyguards.
Hu Yanyue was sitting alone in the handsome tent, still wearing her armor. Seeing Bai Fei come in, she put down the book in her hand and raised her head to look at him.
"Miss Yue." Bai Fei greeted.
"Sit." Hu Yanyue pointed to the wicker chair below without paying attention to what he called her.
Bai Fei walked over slowly, sat down on the wicker chair, looked at Hu Yanyue and said, "Miss Yue, thank you for taking this time."
"Mr. Bai, there's no need to gossip. You also know that I don't have any good intentions." Hu Yanyue said coldly.
"Miss Yue, in a few days, food and grass will be cut off. If the Duanmu family's army attacks, do you have a way to deal with it?" Bai Fei also said straightforwardly, going straight to the point.
"This is not something you should be concerned about." Hu Yanyue was a little angry, not because the other party knew
The three guard girls had already reported such military secrets to her before. At first, she was very angry and wanted to scold Huyan Zongliu, but then she thought about it and let it go. After all, this is no longer the case. It's a secret. Not to mention Huyan Zongliu and others, even among the military, rumors have begun to spread. Her anger was actually because the morale of the army had gradually become unstable in the past few days, and many soldiers had no morale. She was in trouble, but even if this was true, it could not be said that an outsider like Bai Fei was talking nonsense in front of her.
"Okay! Let me ask another way." Bai Fei didn't pay attention and said with a slight smile: "Miss Yue, have you ever thought about why such a thing happened?"
"Mr. Bai, I didn't summon you to ask questions." Hu Yanyue said with a sullen face.
"That's fine." Bai Fei sighed slightly, stared at her for a long time, and then continued: "Miss Yue, have you ever heard of Bigu Pill?"
Question again? However, this problem is somewhat different.
"Bigu Pill? Mr. Bai is talking about the kind of pill that is equivalent to the effect of a strong person in the Immortal Master Realm who does not need to eat? I heard that even a cultivator in the Mortal Realm can escape from the disease once he takes this pill. Meals lasted for several months." Hu Yanyue was a little surprised, but she didn't know why the other party mentioned Bigu Pill. Bigu Pill, that is a very precious pill! Even practitioners in the Warlock realm have few opportunities to come into contact with it.
"Miss Yue's knowledge is really extraordinary." Bai Fei praised and continued: "I told Xiaoxue that I can solve your food and grass problem. I am not just talking nonsense. This matter is based on this Bigu Pill."
"Mr. Bai, please stop joking. Bigu Pill is an extremely rare elixir that even practitioners in the Warlock Realm cannot easily access, let alone us? Besides, even if Mr. Bai can refine this kind of elixir, Medicine, where can I find the corresponding medicinal materials? If the quantity is small, what use will it have to a hundred thousand soldiers?" Hu Yanyue felt a little funny, but her face softened a little.
"Is Bigu Pill so rare?" Bai Fei really hasn't thought about this question. It is easy for him to refine the Bigu Pill, and he also has the corresponding materials. However, it is still a little embarrassing. An Qi found that there are a lot of rare materials for refining Bigu Pill, but the quantity of some ordinary materials is far from enough!
"Miss Yue, please allow me to ask you one more question."
"Ask!" Hu Yanyue rarely agreed to his request.
"That's right, I want to ask Miss Yue if there are the following medicinal materials here..." Bai Fei named several very common medicinal materials in one breath, and then looked at the other party with hope.
"Mr. Bai, can these medicinal materials be used to refine Bigu Pill?" Hu Yanyue asked without answering.
"Is there any?" Bai Fei asked again.
Seeing that he spoke solemnly, Hu Yanyue did not dare to hesitate any longer and replied: "If it's just these few herbs, the quantity is quite a lot, but..."
"It's just what..." Bai Fei was a little nervous. Could it be that his plan was ruined like this?
"Well, there is a medicinal ingredient in it. The quantity we can gather is not large, but if we transfer it from other columns, we can get a lot."
"It's too late. What's the specific number?"
"We can probably only get a few thousand servings of those medicinal herbs that have little flavor."
"What I want is a specific quantity!" Bai Fei suddenly stood up and said in a loud voice:
It's also much bigger.
"Mr. Bai, could it be that... could you refine as many Bigu Pills as I can take out?" Hu Yanyue said without paying attention to his gaffe, her lips trembling a little.
"Otherwise?" Bai Fei teased and slowly sat back on the wicker chair.
"We can gather at least four thousand copies of that medicinal material." Hu Yanyue said excitedly.
"That's enough!" Bai Fei couldn't help but patted his chest, and then said: "Miss Yue, I can refine the Bigu Pill for you, but because the quantity of the medicinal materials is too small, I may take a compromise approach and It was refined into 30,000 pills of insufficient potency. Such pills may only last about two months."
"That's enough!" This time, it was Hu Yanyue's turn to lose her composure. She suddenly stood up from her seat, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"Mr. Bai, how long do you need?" Hu Yanyue quickly made a plan in her mind and couldn't help but ask.
"Immediately, immediately!" Bai Fei gave her an answer that was enough to reassure her.
"Ah Qing, Alan, Ah Shu!" Hu Yanyue had a crystal jade pendant in her hand, and she was shouting to it. Obviously, this jade pendant had a similar function as the transmission of talismans.
In just a few breaths, the three women quickly walked into the handsome tent. They were Hu Yanqing, Hu Yanlan and Hu Yanshu, the three captains of Hu Yanyue's personal guard.
"Ah Qing, Alan, Ah Shu, please work hard and ask the generals from all ministries to collect as many as four thousand copies of these herbs. Also, at noon tomorrow, all generals from all ministries, divisions, teams and squads will be here. Assemble." Hu Yanyue's voice was serious, she paused and said, "Also, when the time comes, let's inform Uncle Zongliu's people."
The three team captains took the order and left. They didn't ask a word and strictly followed Hu Yanyue's orders, but they were all thinking in their hearts: The coach is going to make a big move!
"Miss Yue, do you think there is a traitor in the Huyan family?" Bai Fei blinked and asked.
"Yes." Hu Yanyue glanced at him, her attitude obviously changed, and she no longer concealed certain things. She continued: "There must be a traitor, and this traitor must appear among them."
"Miss Yue must have a plan in mind. Can you tell me about it?"
Hu Yanyue was stunned for a moment, looked at Bai Fei for a long time, and said as if she had made a lot of determination: "We are preparing to withdraw our troops..."
"The suspicion array?" Bai Fei interrupted before she could finish her sentence.
Hu Yanyue's whole body was shaken, and finally she nodded slowly.
Before dawn, the three team captains brought back a total of four thousand medicinal materials. Hu Yanyue asked them to leave first, and then looked at Bai Fei expectantly.
Bai Fei nodded, without delay, put all the medicinal materials into An Qi's room, and then put his mind into it.
Hu Yanyue felt a little strange when she saw him suddenly stunned. She didn't bother him again and waited patiently. Although she is only a tenth-level mortal cultivator, she still knows a thing or two about refining elixirs. Whenever you refine elixirs, you must have an elixir furnace, right? But looking at the other party’s demeanor, it seems that’s not the case!
While Hu Yanyue was thinking wildly, Bai Fei opened his eyes, and a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, which quickly disappeared. At that moment, Hu Yanyue could feel her heart tremble suddenly, but Bai Fei's next words made her put away all her worries.
