"What do you mean by that?" Yin Qingqi prick up his ears vigilantly, and heard a burst of sounds around him, as if something was slowly approaching.

"Ahh Qinghong suddenly screamed, and her fingers trembled and pointed to the grass on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Yin Qingqi was also taken aback, and hurriedly looked towards her finger.

It's a snake! Thousands of highly venomous poisonous snakes invaded the barracks in an instant!

"Quick, tell everyone to hurry into the military tent!" Yin Qingqi greeted Liu Yuchen in a panic, but he didn't expect Liu Yuchen to have a sarcastic smile on his face.

"A woman is a woman, just a snake, and there are snakes and insects in the land of Bashu, is this a strange thing?" Liu Yuchen looked at Yin Qingqi with disdain, and didn't take the poisonous snake in front of him seriously at all.

The poisonous snake instantly bit Liu Yuchen's horse, the frightened horse roared, scurrying in the barracks, and the soldiers who came were also in a mess, constantly trampled and knocked down by the horses, and the poisonous snake took advantage of its unpreparedness and bit it.

The soldier's face was blue, his mouth was foaming at the mouth, he only struggled for a few seconds, and then he died, and Liu Yuchen's horse also fell heavily to the ground, stretched out his legs and kicked a few times, and died instantly.

"This ...... This snake. Liu Yuchen's face was like ashes, and he looked at Yin Qingqi in a daze, Yin Qingqi frowned, and pulled him into the tent camp, and Xue Tan and the others then entered, tightly closing the tent curtain.

Liu Yuchen gasped heavily, obviously not relieving himself from Fang Cai's fear, his body trembled and got up from the ground, stained with soil, and looked extremely embarrassed.

Xue Tan laughed when he saw it, he didn't expect to see Liu Yuchen so embarrassed, which was also an interesting thing.

"What, don't talk about anyone else now?" Yin Qingqi narrowed her eyes and looked at Liu Yuchen intently.

"I ......" Liu Yuchen was a little embarrassed, and his face was full of sadness.

"Don't talk about it, let's think about countermeasures." Yin Qingqi didn't want to listen to his explanation at all, Qinghong was now curled up beside him, trembling all over, not to mention, the war was anxious, and Yin Qingqi didn't want to waste more time here.

"Qingqi, what do you think should be done?" Xue Tan frowned, he couldn't imagine that Huo Jiuling would be so insidious and vicious and come up with such a move.

"Huo Jiuling must be complacent in the city now, and it won't be long before we will be attacked." Yin Qingqi frowned, this march was not well prepared, he did not carry the medicine powder for these snakes, insects, rats and ants, and now the military camp is in chaos, and the people are panicked, if they rush forward, I am afraid that they will be ambushed.

But I finally got here, and now I ......

Yin Qingqi frowned, and looked at Xue Tan unwillingly, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Withdraw your troops." Yin Qingqi let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

"Withdraw troops? But you have worked hard to get here, if you don't annihilate these rebellious ministers and thieves in one fell swoop, I'm afraid Shuzhou will still be harassed by Nanzhao. Xue Tan looked at Yin Qingqi in disbelief, since becoming a general, Yin Qingqi has never hesitated to act in the past, and the most taboo thing for a general is to waver.

"Withdraw the troops, it's too dangerous now, pass on my military order, order Zhou Tong and others to leave with the cavalry first, and Zhao Ziyun will stay behind." A chill passed in Yin Qingqi's eyes, although she was also extremely reluctant, but there was no other way at the moment.

"Wechen obeys." Liu Yuchen received the order, held a long sword in his hand, opened the curtain, and rushed out.

Inside the city of Chamdo.

Huo Jiuling stood on top of the city tower, looking at the Celestial Empire army slowly retreating in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I didn't expect Yin Qingqi to be so timid, if she was a little bolder, I am afraid she would know that there are not many troops in the city, which is not enough to resist the attack of the Celestial Empire." Huo Jiuling looked at the firelight in the distance triumphantly, and the hideousness on her face became more and more hideous.

"Mother...... Holy Lord, in this attack, we suffered a lot of losses, losing 50,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, as well as large and small cities, surrounding counties, I'm afraid, the situation is not optimistic. The eunuch beside him said to Huo Jiuling.

"These are all trivial things, how is the construction of the Nine Spirits Palace?" Huo Jiuling didn't care about these at all, and glanced at the chief eunuch beside him lightly.

"Holy Lord, now people are panicking, it is difficult to find a strong man to come and build a palace, Holy Lord!" The eunuch looked at Huo Jiuling with a panicked face, his eyes full of surprise.

Now that the soldiers are coming to the city, Huo Jiuling is still thinking about building a palace on a large scale, which is actually a little inappropriate.

"I said father-in-law, look at what you said, how,

Could it be that I succeeded to the throne of Nanzhao Sheng, isn't it a big deal? Huo Jiuling's eyes widened, threatening the eunuch.

"When the saint was the Son of Heaven, of course, it was a major event celebrated by the whole world, and it was gratifying and congratulating." The eunuch's face was full of panic, and he hurriedly retreated behind him.

"Pass my order, this palace still has to be repaired, and I will order someone to go to Lingnan to catch more poisonous snakes, so that those rural farmers and snake dealers will also go out to hunt, I want Yin Qingqi to know that I can achieve the position of Emperor Nanzhao, and I am not so easy to bully." A grim smile appeared at the corner of Huo Jiuling's mouth, and he was still angry about Yin Qingqi and Qi Yuan.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, so they had to obey Huo Jiuling's orders, besides, now after the death of the old general, Huo Jiuling holds the power of the military and horses, and the first emperor is still in Huo Jiuling's hands, once something happens, no one can bear this responsibility.

Huo Jiuling's cholera government should have been executed, but now Huo Jiuling controls most of the power and troops in the court, and the wanton chaos in the palace is constantly seeking male favors, which also makes the ministers particularly distressed.

Now because of personal grievances, the war with the Celestial Empire is even more difficult for the people.

Huo Jiuling really didn't seem to care about these at all, drinking and having fun every day, playing the sheng flute in the palace, and having a peaceful appearance, it seemed that he didn't take the people of the Celestial Empire in his eyes at all.

Yin Qingqi's army retreated to Shuzhou, only to find that a large number of people in Shuzhou had begun to vomit and fever, like a plague, which instantly swept the entire city.

Yin Qingqi ordered someone to take Imperial Doctor Bi out, but fortunately, Imperial Doctor Bi was not infected, but used a self-made method to cover his mouth and nose to avoid infection.

"Doctor Bi, this ...... What's going on here? Xue Tan asked Taiyi anxiously, his brows furrowed.

"Lord Xue, Miss Yin, this matter is really a bit strange, although I have not yet found out why the poison in the river water is so strong, and I have not developed a solution, but I am sure that it must be different from the poison you took before." Imperial Physician Bi looked at Yin Qingqi with a sad face.

"I didn't expect it to be like this......" Yin Qingqi bit her lip tightly and showed a wry smile.

It turned out that Huo Jiuling allowed himself to attack Nanzhao and was in danger, but in fact, he had already prepared countermeasures, and now there was a wail in Shuzhou City, and Yin Qingqi's military camp had to live outside the city temporarily.
