Chapter Fifty-Eight: Scraping the Bone and Continuing the Pulse
Nanban Secret Realm, Silver Moon Country, Imperial Palace.
Akru, the king of the silver moon, was in the middle of the ivory hall, and the elders of the various tribes were lined up as vassals on both sides, and although Akasi was also above the court, he leaned against a stone pillar in the main hall, looking at the envoy from the empire a little lazily.
This is the sixth time, the empire has sent an envoy to send troops to the Northern Regions of the Silver Moon Kingdom. However, the result was the same as the previous five times, and the envoys of the empire returned in vain.
The Three Kingdoms disputed, the Wanzang tribe in the Western Regions invaded Hongcheng, and the Tieli Kingdom in the Northern Regions went south to attack Shuangchuan, although the battlefield was located in the border fortress, but now the whole continent is talking about the victory or defeat of the war, because once the empire is lost, the next war will burn all over this continent.
As a country composed of multiple tribes in the Nanban Secret Realm, the Silver Moon Country is actually a vast territory still above the green shade of the Xia River of the Wanzang Tribe, although there are countless poisonous insects and beasts in the Nanban Secret Realm, and the environment is sinister, but in a sense, the most primitive Nanban Secret Realm also has the most abundant resources.
In this war, the king of the Silver Moon Country, Akairu, never sent troops to rescue the empire, although the Silver Moon Country is sparse and low-equipped, with less than 20,000 troops, but the strength of the Silver Moon Country is different from other countries, and the Silver Moon Country relies on the prince of the Silver Moon Country, Akasi.
In fact, it was Akasi who tried his best to dissuade Akairu from sending troops and waiting to see what happened. Akasi, who is bent on protecting the people of the Silvermoon Country, has a simple way of dealing with political enemies, assassination. This is also the most terrifying place in the Silver Moon Country. It's not about national strength, it's about having the most terrifying assassin on the continent. The Empire has sent envoys many times, and the Empire is willing to bear all the supplies if it can use the power of Akasi to assassinate enemy generals, and if it can send troops. But Akasi made his father refuse with a tough attitude.
The imperial envoy has a request for others, but he can't put on a daily shelf. Today's imperial war situation is very clear to the high-level leaders of various countries, the empire relies on the outstanding performance of Emperor Xing General Di Yueluo and the help of a certain force in the rivers and lakes, although it has recovered Hongcheng and driven away the Wanzang tribe, but the war empire in the north is very likely to be defeated.
Akasi had been to the North. For Akash, the continent wasn't as big as others thought. He could cross an entire continent in a matter of days. As the white jade of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, Akasi can also enjoy a certain level of intelligence. At the higher level, only Yan Xingyan and the Heavenly Machine Pavilion Master could read it. But Akasi himself is the person with the strongest intelligence ability in the world. Of course, he already knew that less than ten days ago, the imperial dragon general Xiang Wu disappeared after a battle with the mysterious master, and he also knew that the Jianghu warriors spontaneously assisted the empire in fighting against the Tieli people to some extent to alleviate the unfavorable situation of Xiang Wu's disappearance, but the strongest offensive of the Tieli people was the strengthened Tieli soldiers.
The information obtained from the Heavenly Machine Pavilion did not mention the reason why the soldiers of the Tieli Kingdom had increased in strength so much. It wasn't even mentioned, but Akas could tell it at a glance when he went to the Northern Regions.
If it is said that ordinary imperial soldiers, the powerhouses of the peak realm of Jiuye have the ability to kill thousands of people, then in the harsh environment of the Northern Regions, the strengthened Tieli soldiers may exhaust their internal strength, and they can kill three or five hundred people to be the powerhouses in the same realm. As for the Cloud Riders, it's even more difficult to deal with. Such a terrifying Tieli army was simply unstoppable in the eyes of Akasi, and the entire army of Tieli was overwhelmed, and the empire faced the crisis of defeat for the first time. No matter how strong the martial artists of the rivers and lakes are, there are only so many martial artists in the peak realm of the Nine Leaves, and the Tieli army, even if it is not counted as the Cloud Cavalry, has nearly 100,000 people.
Unless there is a miracle, there is no way to reverse this war.
In Akasi's opinion, of course, there are a lot of doubts, and he also has a rough guess in his heart, people will not suddenly become stronger in a short period of time for no reason, martial artists can become stronger in a short time with some forbidden techniques, but they also have to pay a considerable price, as for ordinary people, they can only rely on powerful equipment or ...... Drugs. After the martial arts conference, Akasi knew that the culprit who poisoned thousands of people in the Nanban Secret Realm in the past was not dead. He already felt that the reason why the Tieli soldiers became stronger must have some connection with the green jade Mizang.
This is a world that advocates supreme force, but in this world, there are also many people who don't know martial arts but have the ability to subvert the world, and they are even more terrifying than martial artists.
Compared to the green jade Mizang, Akasi once thought that if Zhong Wanxin and Zhong Yunxiu died, if the poison of the red pupil's resentment had not been solved, I am afraid that today's Nanban would have been full of red-eyed beasts. The terrible resentment of the red eyes made all countries afraid, and no one wanted their people to become wild beasts, and even in the face of such beasts, they did not have absolute confidence. Therefore, the red pupil resentment was completely banned. But Yazo is not dead, and no one knows what kind of terrible medicine Yazo will make in the future.
It is also like the gray jade division of the day before yesterday, and Shen Xiaohunting. This scholar is also not good at martial arts, and in the eyes of a strong man like Akasi, the scholar's self-defense tricks can be ignored. But it is this scholar who has the ability to control the survival of the martial arts at the martial arts conference, if the scholar at that time and Yan Xing dealt with the martial arts heroes together, I am afraid that the current situation in the rivers and lakes has changed again.
Akeru had also had doubts about Akath's decision, just as he did.
"You've already made me refuse the Imperial Emissary's request for help for the sixth time, what do you mean?" Akeru said.
Akasi shook his head and said, "Father, although our Silver Moon Kingdom is allied with the Empire, this relationship has never been equal. In this war, regardless of whether the Tieli people win or lose, the empire will experience a weakening, even if we don't do anything, the gap with the empire will be reduced through such a weakening, correspondingly, the importance of our Silver Moon Country as an ally will be greater, if the empire wins, the empire will not go to the south to fight us because we do not send troops, although I may not be able to assassinate the emperor general, but half of the generals of the Divine Soldier Absolute General Battalion and all the officials of the empire will be in fear. They will never be our enemy. On the contrary, if the empire is defeated, and the Tieli Kingdom occupies the frost river ferociously and then adjoins Kyoto, like a dagger at the throat of the opponent, the empire will also need us more, and we will not worry about offending the Tieli country because we have supported the empire. ”
Akasi's argument made everyone nod. The war has made the status of the Silver Moon Country higher, which should have been a good thing, but Akasi didn't have a trace of excitement. He only felt the sadness of being a small country. Another concern that the Silvermoon Kingdom had never sent troops to this war was that Akasi did not mention to his father and the elders of the various tribes.
That is the strength of the Silver Moon Country, no matter whether it is assisted or not, it cannot change the disadvantage of the Empire, on the contrary, the Empire will only let the soldiers of the Silver Moon Country die at the front, and the Southern Barbarian soldiers have traveled long distances to the Northern Regions, in Akasi's opinion, there are very few people who can survive after going to the battlefield. And the reason why Akasi himself did not assassinate the Tieli generals was because he knew that the Tianji Pavilion was secretly helping the Tieli people.
So in the final analysis, all the entire Silver Moon Country can do is to stand still, it seems that there is a choice, but in fact there is no choice, how this war will go, the Silver Moon Country cannot control. They are too weak, and under such a behemoth as the Tieli Wanzang tribe of the empire, the flat boat in the sea will be destroyed under a wave at any time.
But Akasi was waiting, and in his deduction, the inn forces drove out the wolf people outside Hongcheng, but with his knowledge of scholars and shopkeepers, he didn't think that the end of the inn would stop there.
And the various forces of the martial arts have begun to fight with the Tieli people in the Northern Regions, but the Iron Lion Sect has never appeared, the Iron Lion Sect fell in fame after the martial arts conference because of Xie Xingshi, the Northern War should not be missed, if the strong of the martial arts powerhouses has the strongest defense on the battlefield, it is the Xuanwu Gate, and the strongest destructive power on the battlefield must be the Iron Lion Sect. Legend has it that the Iron Lion Cult has changed a young leader, and Akasi is not curious about where the Iron Lion Church is, but he believes that the Iron Lion Sect will definitely appear.
What makes Akasi unable to let go of it the most is the Xuanji Sword Sect and the Bajian Sect. Although the Xuanji Sword Sect sent the strong Wensu and elite disciples, and the Sword Sect also sent a Jiuye peak powerhouse like Ren Suiyun and his disciples, but as the strongest overlord in the world, Ning Wuxie and the strongest swordsman Yun Cangxuan, he did not detect it.
Akasi didn't believe that such two strong men would miss this war, now there are no strange things on the rivers and lakes, the entire martial arts are paying attention to this war, Zhang Tianshi and Master Fang Zheng have ignored mundane things for a long time, but there is no reason why Yun Cangxuan and Ning Wuxian will not go to the battlefield.
If Xiang Wu has the powerful strength to change the tide of battle, then Ning Wuxian should be the same. Akasi believes that the empire has no chance of winning, but if the missing Xiang Wu returns, and Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan join the battle to help the empire, everything could be reversed.
Akasi is not the only one who has such doubts and thoughts, as the last line of defense, the disciples of the Xuanji Sword Sect of the Sword Sect and the Taoist Sect are all looking forward to the appearance of Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan at this moment.
Even the high-level officials of the empire, who have always been at odds with the rivers and lakes, also hope that these two martial arts legends can appear on the battlefield in the Northern Regions to show their miraculous martial arts to turn the tide. Although they are officials in the empire, the fame of Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan is too loud, even the current emperor knows it.
The two strongest swords in martial arts, the first swordsman in the world, the strongest in the world, no matter which name represents the absolute pinnacle of the rivers and lakes. But in such an adversity war, no one knows where these two people are. After several surprise attacks and several head-to-head encounters, the Northern Battlefield has now reached its final stage. But Yun Cangxuan and Ning Wuxian did not appear, and people have begun to give up their hopes on these two.
But as the strongest assassin in the world, Akasi's intuition has always been very accurate, the empire is at a disadvantage, and the trend of defeat is already clear, but as the strongest country on the mainland, whether the empire will have a backhand, whether the war situation will change, it is not yet known, after all, there are still more than 100,000 troops in Kyoto, but Akasi also knows, I am afraid that those Wenchen are writing blood letters to prevent the little emperor from sending troops. But as the prince of the Silver Moon Kingdom, an outsider who is thoroughly familiar with the battlefield, Akasi believes that Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan will appear.
whether the forces of the Last Inn will appear in the Northern Regions, and what kind of actions will they make; Whether the arrival of the Iron Lion Sect can buy some time in a desperate situation, and how the appearance of Ning Wuxian and Yun Cangxuan will change the battle situation and even this era, Akasi believes that these are all variables, and these variables will inevitably appear one by one before the end of the war, before the empire's company camp is breached.
……
Akasi thought a lot about the battle situation. These things, Xiang Wu is also thinking about at this moment.
Feng Zhan's leg had already improved a lot, and two days ago, he quietly went to the Imperial Company Camp and brought Zhong Yunxiu with him. If there is still a glimmer of hope in the empire at this moment, in Feng Zhan's view, it is Ah Xiu who can cure the world's number one general, the dragon general Xiang Wu.
Zhong Yunxiu never expected that Feng Zhan and the dragon would be in a broken temple in Frost River City, and at this moment, the wind and snow were thick, and no one would really come to break the temple. But Xiang Wu's injuries were much more serious than Zhong Yunxiu imagined.
Even the dragon general, who single-handedly defeated the 10,000 cloud cavalry on the battlefield, paid a very heavy price, and the injury at that time was not healed, and after a serious injury, he fought with another extremely strong man, and the original injury became fatal.
Feng Zhan said: "Ah Xiu, I didn't take Li Nianyun with me, but Uncle Ben thinks that you are already a stronger doctor than Li Nianyun, you have studied medical skills hard in the past few months, and have successively learned the Great Heaven Creation Technique and Liuyun Jue, and even the Zhong family's acupuncture. Now the northern barbarians will break through the imperial camp, unless Xiang Wu can go to the battlefield again, otherwise the empire will be useless. ”
Zhong Yunxiu nodded, as a member of the inn, although she has a role that cannot be ignored, she rarely can really help, but Zhong Yunxiu has never given up improving her medical skills. Whether it is abandoning the concept of good and evil and worshiping Bai Beiming as a teacher, or joining Yunci Valley without being limited by secular rules, it takes great courage for a woman, and what she does may bear considerable criticism in the rivers and lakes, but in order to save her partner, Zhong Yunxiu has never given up learning medical skills for a moment.
In the battle of Tiankeng City, she saw the shopkeeper with all the meridians of her body shattered, and she knew that she was weak and powerless, and she always knew that the cook Ding Qiliang felt the same way as herself, but the cook's strength was obvious to all, and the cook at the martial arts conference bought a lot of time for the heroes of the rivers and lakes. But she still didn't make a difference.
After that, Zhong Yunxiu studied three medical skills and never gave up, hoping that one day, his medical skills could help. Exactly that's the moment.
"General, the Great Heaven Creation Technique requires corpse blood, not to mention that with the general's body, ordinary corpses cannot play a role, and the Flowing Cloud Technique can be called a miracle for healing itself, but healing others is not even comparable to the Great Heaven Creation Technique. Now that the general's meridians are broken a lot, Ah Xiu has the courage to implore the general to believe in Ah Xiu once, and I will use the Liuyun Jue as a supplement, and use the Zhong family's acupuncture method to temporarily suppress the injury and continue the meridians. Zhong Yunxiu's voice was calm.
If Zhong Wanxin was here, he would inevitably reprimand Zhong Yunxiu. Because the continuation of the meridians requires extremely high acupuncture skills and techniques, it is necessary to have rich experience to be foolproof, otherwise the injured person may suffer a stronger backlash. Ah Xiu had never done anything like this, she just reflected on herself after Tiankeng City, so as not to let herself be helpless when the shopkeeper was seriously injured.
Of course, you can also use the Flowing Cloud Technique to slowly recover after a few days, and through the Great Heaven Creation Technique, you can recreate the meridians of the injured with the essence and blood of the sacrifice. But at the moment, the former does not have enough time, and the latter, where can I find a usable sacrifice in the ruined temple?
Zhong Yunxiu can only practice acupuncture.
Xiang Wu said with a smile: "Of course I can trust Doctor Zhong's daughter. ”
Zhong Yunxiu shook his head and said: "General, to continue the meridians with acupuncture, you need to scrape the bones and subsequent veins first, the pain is unbearable, and ...... It's my first time casting, and if I make a mistake, you may be more seriously injured, or even cause irreversible damage to the meridians. ”
Xiang Wu was silent for a moment, and finally said: "The lives of the people of Shuangchuan City are always more important than my lives, if my injuries are relieved, you are the benefactor of the empire, if it fails, it is also my own choice, it has nothing to do with you little girl, everything is fate, but if I wait here, I can't do it when I see my soldiers die on the battlefield." ”
Xiang Wu smiled arrogantly and said, "Doctor Zhong, let's do it." ”
(I also played the bone scraping stalk once, and then, I wish you all a happy National Day, eat and drink well.) )
