Chapter 67: The Marquis of Yingwu
After more than a month of traveling, they finally arrived at Jiayuguan, the destination of this trip, not only encountered the attacks of demon beasts along the way, but also encountered the attacks of the black cavalry of Megatron, but they survived and finally came back.

Ye Tian opened the tent and observed the first male pass in Xia Ziyan's mouth. Jiayu Pass, the first Xiongguan of the Dali Dynasty, and it was by virtue of this Xiongguan that the Dali Dynasty repelled the attacks of the Daqian Dynasty again and again.
The inner city wall of Jiayuguan is 18 meters high, and the stacking wall is 4 meters, with a total height of 22 meters. Below 10 meters is rammed loess, and more than 10 meters are added with adobe. Circumference 640 meters, area 2. 50,000 square meters. Outside the east and west gates of the inner city, there are urn city protections, with an area of more than 1,500 square meters. The urn city gate is open to the south, the west of the west urn city, there is Luo City, the west side of the Luo city wall is set up to close the gate, and the lintel is inscribed with the three words of "Jiayu Pass".
Probably hesitating that the war was coming, the nearly 10-meter-high gate made of fine iron was closed, and the city wall was full of countless elite soldiers, and after the captain of the guard called the door, the gate slowly opened.
An ironclad sergeant of nearly 1,000 people led by a general-like person who was about forty years old at the head walked quickly to meet him, Xia Ziyan hurriedly got out of the car and greeted him, Ye Tianwu also wanted to see what the quality of the soldiers in this world was, so he got out of the carriage behind Xia Ziyan.
"Zi Yan, you're back, this time?" It seems that Xia Ziyan's going out to find the 'Hundred Flowers and Rain Dew Grass' this time is purely confidential, and it is hidden from all the soldiers under her command.
Xia Ziyan said with a smile, "Fortunately, Uncle Wu, why are you so well guarded now, I will come back and ask you to pick me up in person." Xia Ziyan had already guessed a few points by looking at this posture.
Cui'er obviously saw that Ye Tian didn't know Uncle Wu in Xia Ziyan's mouth, so she introduced, "Wu Zixin, the general of Annan, the strength of the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow, is also one of the several profitable subordinates under the command of Yingwu Hou. ”
"Let's talk as we go," said Wu Zixin, the general of Annan, so he walked side by side with Xia Ziyan to the pass and continued: "We have received a secret report that there are signs of large-scale mobilization of the Daqian army, and I am afraid that we will attack again." ”
Xia Ziyan turned around and glanced at Ye Tian, then waved her hand at Cui'er, and followed Wu Zixin into the pass.
Ye Tianna didn't know what Xia Ziyan meant, so he followed the large army into the city slowly.
Probably due to the signs that a great war was coming, the streets were sparsely populated, there were few pedestrians, and there were always sergeants coming and going, and even the air smelled of gunpowder.
Yingwu Hou's Mansion, located in the middle of the Guannai, is not only the place where Yingwu Hou lives, but also the place where the generals work to discuss important matters. Ye Tian, who was watching, couldn't help but shake his head.
Xia Ziyan obviously saw Ye Tian's movements, stepped forward to apologize, and apologized, "Sir, please forgive me for the little girl's inconsiderate hospitality." ”
Wu Zixin obviously only noticed Ye Tian now, and saw his niece talking to a man in such a low voice, and suddenly came over angrily and shouted, "Ge Laozi, boy, you are that green onion, which garlic, you actually asked my niece to apologize to you in a low voice." As he spoke, he pulled out the war knife on his waist, and there was a big knife that slashed Ye Tian's posture.
"Sir, son" Xia Ziyan and Cui'er were stunned when they saw this scene, covered their mouths with their hands, and screamed.
Ye Tian looked at the long knife that was whistling, slowly stretched out his right hand in a flower suit, and flicked his fingers at the chopping blade with a 'choking' sound, Wu Zixin suddenly flew back upside down and hit the rockery behind him with a 'snap'.
Xia Ziyan and Cui'er hurriedly stepped forward to help each other, Wu Zixin got up and pushed them away, and actually laughed and looked in front of Ye Tian in front of him, and said again and again, "Good boy, you have such skills, no wonder!" After speaking, he glanced at Xia Ziyan with playful eyes.
Xia Ziyan didn't understand what he meant, her face turned red all of a sudden, knowing that she might say something excessive if she asked him to continue, so she hurriedly changed the topic and said, "How is my father, is it better?" ”
As soon as he heard about Yingwu Hou, he immediately became serious and sighed and said, "Hou Ye, it's still the same, unconscious, and his condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad, if it weren't for Hou Ye's profound skills, I'm afraid 、、、 will be better now, you brought back the poison healing elixir Baihua Rain Dew Grass, and now Hou Ye is saved." "Sweep away the previous gloom.
"Uncle Wu, let's go see my father first." Xia Ziyan's heart immediately became anxious.
"Go first! I have to go back to guard the city gate to prevent the big cadres from coming to sneak attack. After Wu Zixin finished speaking, he left resolutely.
Xia Ziyan hurriedly took Ye Tian and Cui'er to a courtyard in the back house of the Hou Mansion, walked into the door, and saw a middle-aged man about fifty years old lying on the bed, with his eyes closed tightly and a pale face, and there were two maids standing next to him who were not wiping his forehead.
Seeing this situation, Xia Ziyan took three steps and made two steps, quickly ran to the bed, called a few times "father" softly, and saw that there was no response, turned her head to ask the maid about her father's condition, and took out the hundred flowers and rain dew grass and told Cui'er to go down and boil it according to the previous prescription, only then did she turn around and notice Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was looking around at the furnishings of the room at this time, simple and elegant, it seemed that Yingwuhou was also a person who knew how to taste, and he couldn't help but think in his heart. Seeing Xia Ziyan turn around and walk towards him, he greeted him.
"Please also ask my husband to heal my father." Xia Ziyan said respectfully.
Ye Tian nodded, and in front of the Ying Wu Marquis, he released his divine sense to take a closer look, this kind of poisonous injury may be a trouble for others, but it is easy for Ye Tian to treat it.
But where is this poison, it is clearly a kind of thing called Gu, this kind of Gu is very peculiar, the Gu person will not have to worry about his life for a while and a half, but constantly absorbs the essence and blood of the Gu person until he dies, it seems that the Gu person either hates the Yingwu Marquis to the bone, or knows the way to use soldiers.
It seems that it should be the latter, the Marquis of Yingwu fell ill and was in danger, and at this time, the fools of the Daqian Dynasty attacking Jiayuguan could see that this matter was a conspiracy of the Daqian Dynasty.
On the one hand, it can make Yingwuhou suffer from that poison, on the other hand, Yingwuhou is seriously ill, only sick and not dead, everyone does not think of immediately reporting to the imperial court to replace the guards, and I am afraid that these sergeants also have the intention of hiding it if they can! Without a commander-in-chief at Jiayuguan, the Daqian Dynasty could settle the situation in one battle.
Ye Tian told Xia Ziyan about his guess, of course, Yingwu Hou didn't tell her about the Gu poison in his body, otherwise she would have been worried that her father would be too much and do something abnormal.
"Please also ask my sir to call me a solution." Xia Ziyan suddenly knelt in front of Ye Tian and pleaded.
