Chapter 492: Poisonous Ice Snake
However, in her opinion, this matter of hard work is indeed a bit disproportionate to Yang Xianmao's treatment of her husband, whether the elixir exists or not, and whether she can get it, in fact, Xiao Yanyan has no bottom in her heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She must have enough to keep her back, once she fails to capture the Immortal Pill, or the Immortal Pill does not exist at all, then she can only count on Yang Xianmao to save her husband. Therefore, to a large extent, Yang Xianmao is the hope of her husband's birth.
So Xiao Yanyan thought about it and said: "I can't take advantage of you, the lord helps me like this, I should let you get almost the corresponding benefits." So, this time we came to the Arctic Coldland, and on our way through Urangai, their chief gave me a treasure that they had hunted an ice serpent on this ice field. This snake is said to be a good natural treasure and has great use, but it is not clear what it can be used for. In order to get this thing, they paid a great price, and many people died, and finally got it. I'll pass it on to you, in return. ”
When Yang Xianmao heard this, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, this cold ice snake was in the "Treasure of Heaven and Earth" There is a clear record that this thing is produced under the ice layer of thousands of zhang in the extreme arctic cold land, it is not only highly toxic, but also this poison is very powerful, only a small point can poison a large number of people, the toxicity is extremely domineering, at the same time, it can be used as the main raw material of many antidotes, this is the truth that the extremes of things must be reversed, after getting this natural treasure, Yang Xianmao can refine the world's highly toxic medicine, and at the same time can also refine a lot of antidotes, to solve some strange poisons.
So this thing is a treasure to Yang Xianmao, others don't know what to do, but Yang Xianmao knows it very well. Because, in his hand, he had the "Medicine Refining Treasure Book" given to him by the sect master of the Yellow Medicine Sect, which was recorded.
Xiao Yanyan continued: "Of course, the matter you just mentioned to help you refine your magic weapon with the water of the Styx, you can rest assured, no matter how much it costs, I will help you achieve your wish." Also, I promised you earlier, as long as the Great Song army does not take the initiative to attack our Liao Dynasty, I can persuade the emperor not to take the initiative to invade the Song Dynasty, and this is an additional reward. I don't know what the lord wants?"
Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "Okay, then thank you Niangniang." That lady will help me refine the magic weapon as a deposit this time, and after I cure your emperor's illness, she will reward me with the ice snake, how about it?"
Xiao Yanyan smiled and shook her head.
Yang Xianmao's face couldn't help but sink, and said: "This Styx water will only appear on the day of the winter solstice, Niang Niang will not help me detain it after refining, and I will give me the refined things only after I cure your emperor's illness, right?"
The reason why Yang Xianmao has this worry, on the one hand, is that he is eager to get this magic weapon to fight against the Flood Desolation God Crocodile, and the main thing is that the thing he wants to temper is the teeth of a big crocodile, and this thing is also a very rare treasure, he is worried that it will stay in Xiao Yanyan's hands, and in the future, he is only afraid that Xiao Yanyan will not return the thing to himself after discovering its magic.
But I didn't expect Xiao Yanyan to smile and say: "Lord is too worried, I mean, this time I will help you use the water of the Styx River to refine the magic weapon you need, and at the same time, I will also give you this ice snake, and the additional conditions I promised you will also take effect immediately, as long as your Song army does not take the initiative to attack us, I will order the border soldiers to strictly prohibit crossing the border, and they are not allowed to take the initiative to attack the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Yang Xianmao was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect Xiao Yanyan to pay first and then receive the goods. It seemed that he was too worried, so he smiled wryly and said, "If that's the case, aren't you afraid that I won't treat your emperor if I take something?"
"The lord has a promise, how can he say that it doesn't count. ”
In fact, for Xiao Yanyan, it was just a matter of refining the magic weapon with the water of the Styx, and although the ice snake was said to be very precious, he didn't know what it was used for. Therefore, this preciousness is greatly reduced in his mind. These two things are not a big deal for him, and if he gives Yang Xianmao, he will give it, so he can be generous, and after giving the things first, maybe Yang Xianmao will be able to work more attentively.
As for the agreed additional condition not to take the initiative to attack the Song Dynasty, in fact, this is also Xiao Yanyan's plan to face the situation she is currently facing, she was originally going to do this, but it was just a favor.
Because the emperor's condition is getting worse day by day. The Imperial Doctor has already said that if you don't get effective treatment, you won't be able to live for a year and a half. At present, there are more than 200 people in the royal clans, and the mercenaries are self-respecting, and if the emperor dies, there are quite a few of these people who are eyeing the throne, Xiao Yanyan's father died early, there is no brother, and his son is only 10 years old, how can orphans and widows rule the country? In this case, if we can strike down with the Song Dynasty, so as not to have internal and external troubles together, then we will be overwhelmed. Therefore, Xiao Yanyan actually did not want to start a war with the Song Dynasty because of the emperor's serious illness.
Before this, the war with the Song army, although most of them were won, but the so-called killing of 10,000 enemies and self-loss of 3,000, the Liao army also paid a heavy price for this, especially after the war with the Song army, the trade between the two sides was interrupted, and the Liao Dynasty could not buy the food, tea, cloth and a large number of daily necessities needed from the Song Dynasty. As a last resort, they were not willing to go to war with the Song Dynasty.
In fact, the war between Song and Liao was provoked by Song Taizong on his own initiative. After destroying the Northern Han Dynasty, the Shuai army attacked Youzhou, and then there was the Battle of the Gaoliang River. Although the Liao army won a great victory in this battle, it still angered the Liao Dynasty, and from then on it began to meet with the Song Dynasty. If it weren't for this reason, the Liao Dynasty was actually unwilling to be hostile to such a powerful opponent as the Song Dynasty. After all, the Song Dynasty had strong national strength, especially a huge population and a developed economy, which could withstand the attrition of war, while the Liao Dynasty was relatively much weaker. The two sides withdrew their troops, and the Liao Dynasty could get more benefits.
Therefore, Xiao Yanyan felt that these three conditions did not suffer. was generous, and all of them took the initiative to give Yang Xianmao first, in exchange for Yang Xianmao's gratitude to him, and treated her husband more attentively, as long as her husband was well, he had everything.
At that moment, Xiao Yanyan turned her head to look at Han Derang. Han Derang nodded, walked to the corner of the tent, took out a beautiful brocade box from a large box, took it and handed it to Xiao Yanyan.
Xiao Yanyan opened it and glanced at it, buckled it, handed it to Yang Xianmao and said, "This is the Ice Snake, give it to the lord first." ”
Yang Xianmao didn't answer, he thought for a while and said: "I still have one more question, if Niangniang gets the Immortal Pill, your emperor's life will be saved, because if you eat that thing, you won't die of illness, otherwise, it won't be called the Immortal Pill." If so, am I going to give these things back to you, and will there be a price to pay for the magic weapons you helped me refine with the water of the River Styx?"
Xiao Yanyan smiled, looked at Yang Xianmao and said, "The lord is too worried. If we get the Pill of Immortality, then the magic weapon that the Lord has refined and this Ice Snake Lord doesn't need to return to us, and we don't need to pay any price, even if I pay the consultation fee in advance to the Lord first, because maybe in the future, I or our people will be sick and need the Lord to treat it, and then the Lord can take time out of his busy schedule to help treat it. ”
Yang Xianmao nodded and said, "This is no problem, it is our doctor's duty to treat diseases and save people." As long as Song Liao doesn't fight with each other, what's the harm in treating you!"
Xiao Yanyan sent the brocade box to Yang Xianmao and said, "Then please ask the lord to accept this thing!"
Yang Xianmao was not polite, took the brocade box, opened it and took a look, and there was indeed a small snake coiled inside, only the size of a thumb, and the body was colorful, looking extremely terrifying. This snake actually lives in the sea water under the ice layer of the extreme arctic cold, and at the same time, it has a poison that is countless times more powerful than that of ordinary poisonous snakes, which is really weird to hear.
Xiao Yanyan said: "Okay, after the discussion, the lord is tired on the road, so I won't stay with the lord." The lord's tent is next to my tent, and the ceremonial officer outside will take you there. On the day of the winter solstice, the lord gave me the magic weapon to be practiced, and I asked people to take it down to find the water of the Styx River to quench. As for the matter between you and Brother Yeluxiu, you can discuss it yourself, and he really hopes that Lord Yang can heal the wound on his hand for him. ”
Yang Xianmao thanked him, stood up with the brocade box, and was about to go out, Xiao Yanyan continued: "Here, the lord has all freedom of movement. However, those high-rollers from all over the world outside are very wary of each other, for fear that others will poison them, so if the lord wants to visit those places, it is best to let Yelu Hugh go with you, so that you can take care of it. Although the lord is strong in martial arts, he doesn't have to worry about things when he encounters them, but the lord's status is so noble, and the rough work of fighting, the lord who can let others do it for him should not do it himself. ”
Yang Xianmao nodded in agreement and left the tent with the brocade box in his hand. The ceremonial officer in charge of the reception outside laughed and led Yang Xianmao to a big tent next to him.
In front of the tent, there were more than a dozen Han Liao soldiers, carrying a single knife at their waists, and they were on guard, and when they saw Yang Xianmao coming, they all bowed down and saluted, saying that they would meet the lord.
The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in the Liao Dynasty were basically Han people, and these Han people formed the Han army after joining the army. Some of them were brought here by Xiao Yanyan.
The ceremonial officer told Yang Xianmao that this team of people and horses were the personal guards of the queen, absolutely loyal and reliable, and in order to protect the safety of the lord, he specially transferred them to protect the lord, and the lord could take them with him if he wanted to go out. If the lord has any send, let them do it.
Yang Xianmao nodded, and after the guards lifted the curtains, he entered the big tent, and saw two young and beautiful palace maids in the big tent, with graceful figures, standing with their hands down.
The ceremonial official told Yang Xianmao that these two palace maids were also specially assigned by the queen to Lord Yang, and they made beds and were served to Lord Yang. also said mysteriously: "No matter what the lord wants them to do, even if they are sleeping, they won't say a word, hehehehe." ”
Yang Xianmao laughed dryly twice and sent the official away. Let the maid of the palace go and call some of her companions.
After a while, Feng Qiuyu, Huang Qiaoqiao, and Huang Ding all came to his tent. These people looked a little nervous, and they were in the Liao army barracks, and they didn't know the details, so they were naturally a little nervous.
After a few of them sat down, they looked at Yang Xianmao together.
