34: Dissatisfied
An Wuchen was dedicated to researching new drugs, Mu Yunjun walked to the window in boredom and looked, he was a little stunned under the mist of night: "Brother An, where is this?" β
"I don't know, I was here when I woke up, probably the county lord brought us here to heal."
"I'll go out for a walk."
An Wuchen didn't think much about it, but he didn't want to follow it if he wasn't interested, what was there to see in the middle of the night now.
Mu Yunjun walked out of the room for a while and met a nighthawk demon beast at the mouth of the fence: "Guests, please stay, the master is not allowed to go out at night." β
"Why?"
"The jungle is dangerous, there are big insects, please go back to your room to rest and play tomorrow." Nighthawk said with a look.
Seeing it like this, Mu Yunjun sobbed, he was such a big person, would he come out at night just to play?
Sighing and going back to his room to rest, this place always felt a little strange, more comfortable and refreshed than anywhere else he had been.
Early the next morning, when the two woke up, they found that Xia Yuning and his wife were already waiting for them outside the room, and they said that they would send them back to the military tent in Yuecheng without eating breakfast.
"County Lord, this place is very beautiful, why don't we go out slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Xia Yuning glanced at him when she heard this, and then nodded: "It's okay, let's go." β
Su Qiye accompanied her to lead the way, Mu Yunjun and An Wuchen followed behind, and where the two couldn't see, he looked at Xia Yuning with doubts in his eyes: This is obviously your spiritual ring space, how can you let them go out?
Xia Yuning smiled slightly and signaled him not to worry, everything is linked by cause and effect. Since Mu Yunjun wanted to see this place, she let him see it, and as for what results it could bear, it would be known later.
The four of them walked for two quarters of an hour into a dense forest, and they were even more speechless for seven nights, is Ning'er pure heart leading the wrong way?
After walking for another quarter of an hour, Xia Yuning was a little annoyed, turned around and smiled quietly: "It's almost to the secret exit, you two close your eyes and I'll let Qiye take you out." β
An Wuchen was stunned, can't they know about this place?
Mu Yunjun laughed and teased: "The county lord has to guard against even the two of us!" β
"This place is my secret base, and it can't be known to outsiders, Qiye is my husband, and there is naturally no secret for husband and wife to be of the same heart, but you ...... Hehe......"
Needless to say, the latter words are also well known to each other.
An Wuchen sighed in his heart. His face was flat: "The county lord said yes." We just do it. β
Mu Yunjun still wanted to say something, Su Qiye had already stunned them with one palm, and when he looked at Xia Yuning with one in one hand, he also shook the two big men leisurely as if shaking a chicken: "Ning'er, it's okay." β
Xia Yu glanced at him: "Let's go." β
Coming out of the space, they returned to the military camp in Moon City. An Wuchen and the two of them were in the ward, and because of Xia Yuning's orders, no one broke in.
Wait until Xia Yuning opens the door and goes out. The guards also looked at An Wuchen and Mu Yunjun, who woke up hazy, in surprise: "Doctor An." Mu Gongzi, how are you? β
As soon as An Wuchen and Mu Yunjun opened their eyes, they found that they were back in the ward, and immediately smiled bitterly. The county lord is really well defended.
"Well, how are you generals doing these days?"
"The general is okay, with Doctor Bai to help him, the injury is properly controlled."
"In this case, I'll go meet Bai Gongzi and discuss with him a new method of detoxifying demonic poison." An Wuchen looked at Xia Yuning and asked for instructions.
Xia Yuning nodded: "Okay, hurry up." β
Obviously very satisfied with An Wuchen's medical ethics, Mu Yunjun scratched his head, "County Lord, let your husband be gentle next time, I'm still dizzy." β
"Hehe, okay. But you still pray that there will be no next time. Xia Yuning glanced at him with a smile, as if he didn't know what he meant by his temperament.
Mu Yunjun sighed, "I'll go to the general who guards the city to discuss the next way to deal with it." β
Xia Yuning squinted at his back, and soon looked at the guard and asked quietly, "After Mu Gongzi came to Moon City, did he go into battle with your general to kill demons?" β
"Yes, Mu Gongzi is very heroic, as an exorcist, he led the exorcists to charge into battle, and our morale was boosted by him."
"How many exorcists are there in Moon City now?"
The guard's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said in a dull voice: "There are always two or three exorcists who die in every battle, and now the exorcists sent to assist us have sacrificed nearly half, and there are only about fifty people left." β
Shu Qiye suddenly squinted his eyes, although he didn't like exorcists, but he still knew their abilities, and it was impossible for ordinary demons to kill them lightly.
If there were really so many powerful demon invasions, then Moon City would have been breached a long time ago, so what would it be like today?
The two of them looked at each other and felt that this number was a bit excessive, but no one spoke, and finally Xia Yuning smiled slightly: "They sacrificed for the people of the Lotus Shadow Country, saving the country and saving the people, and they died a glorious death." β
"Well, the general said the same thing, and he recorded all the people in detail, and he must comfort their families after the war."
"Ning'er, we haven't gone to see the generals who defend the city when we arrived in Moon City, let's go see them later."
"Okay."
The general of Yuecheng is surnamed Hong, who is over forty years old, and according to Xia Yuning's understanding, if he is more defensive, he is more inclined to defend as an offensive in terms of strategy.
When the main general's room found him, Mu Yunjun was also there, and the deputy general of Yuecheng was also there.
Seeing the new deputy general, Xia Yuning wrinkled his eyebrows slightly: "Who is this?" β
"Oh, returning to the county lord of the Protectorate, this is the new deputy general Murong Xin, the previous deputy general Wang bravely fought in a battle three months ago, and then he made up for the deputy general Murong to come over."
"The last general has seen the Lord of the Protectors." Murong Xin respectfully bowed to Xia Yuning.
Xia Yuning nodded, "No need to be polite, you and Mu Yunjun won't be relatives, right?" β
Murong Xin smiled, very calmly: "The county lord is really discerning, he is my cousin." β
The relationship is still very close. Xia Yuning looked at the two of them with a friendly smile: "Not bad, not bad, brothers work together, and their profits are gold." β
"Don't worry, the county lord, we will definitely kill the enemy with all our might."
Xia Yuning looked at General Hong: "The county lord has been in retreat for more than half a year, and I don't know how long I can stay in Moon City when I come back this time, I am looking for General Hong today to ask the general to count the deaths and injuries of the soldiers and exorcists in Moon City in the past half a year to the county lord." This should be documented, right? β
"Yes, of course there is, and I will ask the military advisor to send the account book to the county lord for a look."
"General Hong has worked hard even to fight more and more, so let's take everyone to rest for a while, during my time in Moon City. If there is a demon invasion. I'll lead the exorcists to kill. β
General Hong looked at Xia Yuning's stomach with a hesitant expression: "The county lord is naturally known to General Weiming, but the county lord is now a double body, is it better to wait a few days to participate in the battle for safety?" β
"Thank you General Hong for your concern, you can rest assured about this matter. I have seven nights with me. It's going to be fine. I won't be reckless. The main reason is to let General Hong take care of military affairs, and the soldiers are tired enough, so let them rest if they can take a breath. The future of recuperation is better to fight. β
"Since the county lord has decided, then the general will thank the county lord for his understanding for everyone."
ββ¦β¦β
After talking to General Hong. Xia Yuning and Su Qiye returned to her room and summoned the rest of the exorcists.
The hundred exorcists sent by the Exorcism Island assisted Moon City in defending the city because Moon City was particularly important, and he lost half of his people in less than half a year.
"County Lord," the few people led by Xia Yuning were all a little excited.
Xia Yuning remembered that several of them had met once or twice on Exorcism Island, and of course most of the other characters didn't know each other, but they didn't look very good.
This made Xia Yuning very uncomfortable, as the main force of Yuecheng, they all showed this sad face, how to motivate morale?
"I remember that you are laughing at Ye Chen, are you the leader of the team now?"
The young man named Ye Chen's eyes lit up, and then there was a dull face: "It's me, several team leaders have sacrificed before, their strength is above us, but unfortunately they died, everyone is uncomfortable......"
"How did you die?"
"Battlefield - every time we fight, those people of the demon clan will pick the opportunity to attack the captain and deputy team of our exorcists, and select those who are stronger to besiege them, and we have lost more than a dozen seniors in a few times. Then we acted in groups, but from time to time we sacrificed our companions, sometimes two or three in a group of five......"
Ye Chen felt like tears when he said it, they were exorcists, or people who were selected by the elders to have better seedlings in the Exorcism Island and given heavy responsibilities, but now they have lost half of them, how can they not be heavy when they are still alive?
"Mu Yunjun is also an exorcist, how does he do things?"
"Don't misunderstand him, Mu Gongzi is the leader of the charge every time, he is often injured, and he was almost saved a few days ago, but fortunately, the county lord came back in time." Ye Chen sighed, it can only be said that his fate is not good.
Xia Yuning wrinkled his eyebrows and remained silent, "You guys will rest for a few days, and in two days, my assistant will come and let him see if there is a way for you to improve your current strength." Also, you are the leader of Moon City, don't show this dull and sad face, how to boost morale? β
Ye Chen's heart sank: "The county lord has learned a lesson, we will take care of our mood." β
"Remember, if the demons kill our companions, we will repay them with tenfold hatred to kill their people, so that we can be worthy of the dead comrades, we want to be the same enemy, not a sad face!"
"Yes, County Lord!"
Dozens of people have raised their spirits, they can't just care about sadness, they should be angry and revenge, and they can't be afraid!
"Okay, let's go rest first, and come back to my meeting early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, County Lord."
β¦β¦
After the exorcists dispersed, Su Qiye sat beside her, "Ning'er, are you suspicious of something?" β
"No, I just think it's a pity, the ancestor of the Mo family on Exorcism Island told me that the exorcists they trained can deal with ordinary demons with one hundred. You said that with the combat power of one hundred, how can the demons attack in a group to kill them when they fight? Wouldn't the fellow exorcists around him rush to help? β
That's a problem.
Besides, the number of people attacked by the demon group in these days was only a few thousand, and the number of attacks by hundreds of thousands of people was only a handful, how could so many exorcists be sacrificed?
"Then you want to stay in Moon City for a little longer and try to deal with those demons yourself?"
"It's not necessarily good for me to stay, it's best to lurk in the shadows, and see them attack and then hit them again!"
Shu Qiye thought about it and nodded: "It's okay, but you have to let me accompany you for everything, not alone." β
Xia Yuning naturally nodded in response, and after Binghuang brought Xia Linghu and a few of them that night, she sent Tianci and Guan Lingyu to the spirit ring space.
Qiao Yifan, just let him exercise and put it in the Yuecheng army to sharpen for a while.
Early the next morning, the exorcists gathered in Xia Yuning's small courtyard, Xia Linghu checked them all, and finally came to a conclusion: these people are indeed better seedlings, and all of them can withstand the marrow cleansing pill to improve their strength.
Hearing this result, Xia Yuning was stunned again, such a good seedling actually lost nearly half, it was really hateful.
Taking a breath, he gathered those individuals together and took them to a forest on the outskirts of Moon City to find a place with a water source, and said that he wanted the devil to train for a few days.
After letting them set up a tent and form a team to rest, one of them ate a Guyuan Pill, and only when night fell did they swallow a Cleansing Pill for each of them.
After a while, more than fifty people were rolling on the grass, and their faces gradually distorted......
Xia Yuning stood in front of them and looked at them condescendingly, and with a wave of his hand, he set up a big barrier to isolate everyone from the outside world: "What I gave you at dinner was the elixir that allowed you to go to the next level, but everything has a price, if you want to become stronger, you have to grit your teeth and bear the pain this time, the longer the painful process, the greater the improvement you will get when you look back!" So, what you should pray for at this time is to make yourself more painful, to be in pain for a little longer! β
"The county lordβ"
"Don't talk nonsense, give me a good memory of the pain tonight, you have to endure the pain to deal with the demons and break out of the cocoon into a butterfly! After tomorrow, your goal to become stronger is to kill the demons. β
Qiao Yifan watched those exorcists rolling in pain one by one, and their faces were distorted, but they all gritted their teeth and didn't want to cry out in pain, and his heart was inexplicably shocked: I used to think that exorcists and these characters were too far away from their mortals, but now I found that they were actually living a more difficult life than their ordinary people.
"Do you want to go with them?"
Suddenly heard a woman's voice in his ears, Qiao Yifan's heart trembled, his eyes met Shang Xia Yuning's provocative eyes, and suddenly the big man's heart was together: "Follow me, I'm also a gentleman!" β
Xia Yuning smiled and gave him a myelin-washing pill, "If you want to protect Guan Lingyu, you have to make yourself stronger, if it weren't for your true heart for her, I wouldn't be too lazy to waste this precious pill on you!" β
