Chapter 63
Liu Chang and Xuanyuan Wenmei still did not appear, but instead arranged another secret agent to come to meet. They found out that Feng Jiefu had left Phoenix Town with a large amount of supplies to join the King of Shu, including a large number of weapons.
After everyone knew this information, Meng Tian thought for a moment and said:
"That is to say, Phoenix Town is actually an empty city now, and the armies of the two sides are heading straight to Phoenix Town from the east and west, but neither side has yet reached Phoenix Town. The men and horses left behind by each were evenly matched, and it was up to them to see who would occupy the advantageous position first. ”
After all, Meng Tian is a general on the battlefield and analyzes the military situation at the first time.
"But in terms of time, the King of Shu will arrive in Phoenix Town faster, although I don't know how many people the King of Shu has, but no matter how much or less it is something that the people we left behind can fight against. If we wait, it will be difficult for us to retreat. ”
Feng Daicheng also analyzed it very well, I don't know if my father has long understood the struggle in his heart over the years, so in political affairs, my father and the king of Shu have intentionally or unintentionally not let him participate in more important things, and only let him deal with business matters.
He guessed that if it wasn't for him making a lot of money for the Feng family and the King of Shu in business, maybe he would have been ostracized more completely. But it was easier for the King of Shu and his father not to let him participate in their plans too much, because he didn't agree with their approach from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't want to know too much.
After he went on that mission two years ago, he was even more disgusted, so, slowly, he only took care of business and avoided trying to meddle with their business.
It's just that no matter how much he escapes, the day of the duel still comes, and he can only make a choice, and completely part ways with his father.
"No, wait a minute, the uncle hasn't come yet, and the beast park hasn't been solved yet, we can't leave the unsolved problems and leave, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Per Creek looked up at the sky, and she believed that her uncle would come. Maybe Uncle knows more about the Beast Farm, otherwise Uncle wouldn't have lurked in Poison Peak for so long.
"This Liu Chang, we all served the poison peak in the whole pot, he sat on such a high-end and fast "plane" but didn't show up for a long time, what the hell did he do? ”
Duguqing began to complain that Liu Chang didn't appear in time, not because she was afraid of being implicated, but because time was really tight, and now the problem of the beast park could only be solved by Wen Mei. If they don't show up again, I'm afraid that this "army" is really invincible.
Just when everyone was anxiously looking at the sky and waiting, they suddenly heard a loud roar of "wow" that could almost penetrate the sky and the earth from the clouds in the distance.
Soon, as soon as the voice disappeared, it flew through the clouds with the domineering huge figure of the Sky Beast. Bai Yang and Bai Xing roared excitedly and loudly than ever.
The Firmament Beast landed proudly on the grass in front of everyone again, and those who had seen it still couldn't help but worship the Firmament Beast, and those who had not seen it were so stunned that they almost forgot to breathe.
Meng Tian saw a man and a woman on the back of the firmament beast, because he already knew that Liu Chang had a good appearance, so even if it wasn't a familiar face, he knew that it was Liu Chang lying in front of him. But he couldn't move, as if he was going to die.
Meng Tian thought that he had been seriously injured, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly rushed over to check. Perxi and the others also happily greeted Wen Mei and helped Wen Mei down.
Before Meng Tian touched Liu Chang, Liu Chang himself slipped to the ground from the other side, still panting roughly.
Meng Tian was so frightened that he hurriedly helped Liu Chang to lean on his chest, and asked anxiously: "Liu Chang, what's wrong with you, where are you injured, tell me quickly, you can't have an accident, if something happens, my father and mother will skin me, you can't hurt me like this." Meng Tian yelled anxiously, looking up and down to see what was wrong with him.
Everyone was also worried about him, afraid that there was something really wrong with him. Wen Mei rolled her eyes and said coldly: "He's fine, he was just bitten by a poisonous snake with a big wrist." ”
"So is he poisoned? You're not the best at detoxification, why don't you help him, it's all soft, isn't it dying? Meng Tian was even more anxious now, and his eyes were moist.
"He can't die."
Xuanyuan Wenmei thought of the fire, and when the Firmament Beast landed in front of them, Liu Chang got carried away and ran towards it, who knew that before he got close to the Firmament Beast, he himself screamed in pain. When I looked down, my whole leg seemed to be entangled in something. He reached out and pulled the thing that was wrapped around him away, and then took it to his eyes to look at it, because he couldn't see it clearly, and when he looked closer, a small moving object was shaking rapidly at him, and it was actually the tongue of a snake that spit out.
Xuanyuan Wenmei had already seen clearly that it was a poisonous snake, and she was shocked, there were almost no creatures that could survive in this kind of place, and if there were, it was definitely poisonous.
As a result, before she could remind him to be careful, Liu Chang fell to the ground and fainted to death. She thought he had been poisoned, but when she approached him, she found that the snake in his hand had passed out. Only then did she realize that Liu Chang was not afraid of these poisons at all. So she breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't worry about helping him take the pulse, and after making sure that he had fainted, Xuanyuan Wenmei was a little confused, and it was understandable that the snake had fainted, what did he faint?
Xuanyuan Wenmei couldn't wake him up for a long time, and he couldn't control the Sky Beast, so he could only wait for him to wake up. But when he woke up, it was already dawn, and when he found that he was still holding a snake in his hand, he almost fainted again, and Xuanyuan Wenmei slapped him in the face to make him sober.
Finally threw the snake, and the soul that was about to collapse got a little redemption because he saw Bai Yue guarding next to him, and finally Xuanyuan Wenmei showed him the belt of Perxi, and he only fought hard to hold Bai Yue and Xuanyuan Wenmei on the back of the Sky Beast. But the funny thing is that he collapsed so much that he could only lie on his stomach, but Xuanyuan Wenmei was behind him to protect him.
Only now did Xuanyuan Wenmei fully understand that he fainted and died just because he was simply afraid of snakes. This made her impression of his courage and intelligence plummet, and she wanted to start despising him.
Meng Tian looked at Liu Chang, who couldn't get better, and then looked at Po Xi's calm and smiling expression, and Duguqing was already laughing so much that he couldn't help himself. Meng Tian was so stunned that he was the only one in the world who didn't understand enough.
"No, you guys have to think of a way, this person is like this......"
"He was just scared by the snake and fainted, and he just woke up and didn't come out of the fright." Xuanyuan Wenmei rolled her eyes again, almost impatient to explain.
"Scared by a snake? Was he stunned by a snake? Meng Tian looked at Liu Chang, except that his face was a little pale and his eyes were a little panicked, he really didn't look like he was poisoned.
"General Meng rest assured, Uncle is the sequelae of being swallowed by a snake when he was a child, he is just afraid of snakes." Percy covered her mouth and smiled.
After hearing this, Meng Tian suddenly felt a spirit, threw Liu Chang away, got up, wiped his face, and the boss kicked Liu Chang again unhappily, scolding: "You stupid donkey with no interest, a snake can make you like this, is your gall made from sesame seeds?" ”
"Wha, you... You weren't killed by the poison in the poison peak, you were almost scared to death by a snake, you... Hahaha. Duguqing pointed at Liu Chang and couldn't stop laughing.
Originally, there were still people who sympathized with Liu Chang's experience, but in the end, because of Duguqing's unbridled laughter, everyone also laughed.
Liu Chang finally sobered up a lot in the laughter of everyone, and realized that he had become everyone's laughing stock, he got up and defended himself very unconvinced: "You guys try to be swallowed by the big snake and see if you are still as ashamed as you are now." ”
"Uncle, it's good that you're okay!" With tears in his eyes, Po Xi looked at Liu Chang with tears in his eyes, and he was very happy.
"Hehe, little fairy, I'm worried about you." Liu Chang can understand the meaning of Poxi, and they have long been like a family.
Everyone was happy that Liu Chang and Xuanyuan Wenmei had returned safely, and no one thought about why Liu Chang had such a useful escape artifact as the Firmament Beast, but he tossed until he jumped down the deep valley before summoning the Firmament Beast to help.
However, the leader of the Dark Guard is more concerned about this issue, because his identity represents fast ~ ruthless ~ accurate, and such a procrastination will never be allowed to happen by the Dark Guard.
"That, it only took us one night to destroy the entire Poison Peak, you have the Sky Beast flying with you, why are you the last one to converge?" The leader of the Dark Guard finally wanted to know the answer, why everyone was wasting so much time together.
"Hehe... It's not easy to explain, I ......."
"He forgot that there was a Celestial Beast to help." Xuanyuan Wenmei unceremoniously revealed Liu Chang's old bottom.
Everyone rolled their eyes together, and there was nothing more to say. Liu Chang looked at Xuanyuan Wenmei with a disapproving face, and felt that he was definitely saving a woman who was not happy for him.
"Okay, none of this matters, we have to hurry up and plan it now, how to cooperate with our Qin army to drag the King of Shu."
Meng Tian still remembered the matter of the Beast Farm in his heart, and asked Liu Chang: "You have been lurking in the Poison Peak for so long, how much do you know about that Beast Garden, we know that they are all controlled by drugs, now we must find a way to detoxify them, otherwise it will ......"
"Oh, Beast Garden, they're fine, they should be just ordinary beasts now, they won't do anything to you unless you provoke them." Liu Chang said relaxedly.
After that, everyone knows what each other has done, and things are much easier. Originally, Po Xi thought about simply disbanding the animals in the beast garden, but Meng Tian suggested that in order to prevent the King of Shu from discovering that the beasts were actually out of control, they simply left it as it was, so that the King of Shu thought that those beasts could still be used.
After everyone agreed, just as they were about to start their own plans to arrange other plans, the people sent by Xuanyuan Daokang to save Xuanyuan Wenmei also rushed to the poison peak. But it's not that they are one step slower, but they are entangled with the dead soldiers of the King of Shu halfway, and there are many casualties on both sides, and now the King of Shu should already know everything that happened in Phoenix Town.
Then, the secret guards who were secretly staring at the dead soldiers of the Feng family also came to report that Yingfeng Pavilion was controlled and occupied by the Mo family sent by Feng Jiefu to use force to control and occupy it, and all the property in it was looted, and even the men and maids of Yingfeng Pavilion were killed.
When Dugu Qing heard this, the anger in his chest burned so much that he was about to explode. Feng Daicheng looked at her guiltily, although he didn't do it himself, but he was the Feng family after all. He guessed that his father would do it quickly, probably because he wanted to control Duguqing and Poxi, so it was better to kill people and seize things to vent his anger.
Duguqing originally wanted to take someone to destroy the Mo family and avenge her subordinates. But when she calmed down and thought about it, the Mo family was just a minion that the king of Shu could discard at any time, and there was almost no threat, just keep it for the queen to settle accounts.
The most important thing now is how they allocate their actions in order to better stabilize the overall situation.
In the end, Perxi let the Dark Guards still secretly lurk in Phoenix Town to observe the movements, and the others retreated back to join the Qin army to ensure everyone's safety, otherwise, no matter who among them is controlled by the King of Shu, they will be greatly contained.
However, when it was time to set off to act separately, Feng Daicheng said that he wanted to stay, because there was still a place that needed to be destroyed in order to completely contain the King of Shu.
Because of Feng Daicheng's reminder, everyone remembered the stronghold where weapons were built at the bottom of the cliff, and there were still a large number of weapons there. But time is already very tight, and the person who stays behind may directly become Mo Shangxuan's turtle in the urn, but in order to contain his hands and feet, he has to leave some people to take risks.
Liu Chang and Sun Mo knew it more clearly, and they also said that they would stay and help. Feng Daicheng didn't expect that the place where the King of Shu built weapons was already known by the Qin State, and even he didn't know very well, only knowing that the iron ore he had been buying was actually used to build weapons.
He thought that there were countless capable people under King Qin, and they were all righteous and loyal people, if it weren't for King Qin's own virtue, how could so many people be willing to follow. And his father and the king of Shu used extraordinary means to get what they wanted, such a comparison, who loses and who wins, I'm afraid that the future has already been decided!!
When it comes to destroying weapons, Duguqing is naturally needed, because in Poison Peak, everyone has seen what she has done, and only she can have that kind of ability, so in the end, Duguqing also decided to stay.
So, without further ado, there was nothing that could help Perxi and Xuanyuan Wenmei for the time being, so they could only retreat first. Meng Tian and Zhang Ge personally led their subordinates and Ba Wang's people to escort Poxi and Xuanyuan Wenmei to retreat together, and Liu Chang and the secret guards cooperated to deal with the problem of weapons.
"Sister Qing, uncle, you must come to join us as soon as possible, you can't have anything." Percy sat in the carriage and instructed.
"Little fairy, don't worry, you forgot that the master said that I am a long-lived and hundred-year-old person, and Dugu, I think it is also a scourge that has been left for thousands of years, and we will not die so quickly, hehe!"
"That's right, Miss Ben came here to be a scourge, and she was specifically to be the scourge of Mo Shangxuan's turtle grandson, before the King of Shu went to see the King of Hades, I definitely won't go, hehe." Dugu Qing comforted Perxi leisurely.
"This is for you, it can repel poisonous insects such as snakes." Xuanyuan Wenmei looked at Liu Chang, who had recovered his original appearance, and handed him a medicine bottle.
"Hey, you're concerned about me, afraid that I'll be bitten by a snake again?" Liu Chang has been shameless to admit that he is afraid of snakes.
"I'm afraid of snakes biting you, but I'm more worried about snakes than you." After Xuanyuan Wenmei finished speaking, she got into the carriage and didn't wait for Liu Chang to say anything.
"......" Liu Chang touched his nose, looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, and smiled happily, although Xuanyuan Wenmei's words were not good, but he automatically understood that she was caring about him. After Poxi also entered, he still looked happily at the carriage and team that had been started.
On the day of Poxi's departure, the army led by the King of Shu had already approached Phoenix Town, and there was no time to wait, so Liu Chang and others decided to rush to deal with the weapon pants immediately. But when they went down to the weapon pants room that Liu Chang first discovered, half of the weapons had already been transferred. What's even more suspicious is that there seems to be no one here anymore.
"Damn, most of the weapons have been taken away, and it seems that the King of Shu has 80,000 men and horses, if not 100,000." Liu Chang knows best how many weapons were once placed here, and with the weapons that have been transported away a long time ago, there must be a lot of them.
"Feng Daicheng, you only started ordering our Dugu family's iron ore and dansha five years ago, in fact, all of them are used to build weapons, right?"
"At first, I didn't know, because the iron ore and dansha were handled by my father personally, and all your goods were robbed some time ago, at first I thought it was done by ordinary bandits, but then I secretly investigated and found that the Mo family was involved, and the person behind the Mo family was the King of Shu. So I thought it was the idea of the King of Shu, because the King of Shu has consumed money very quickly in recent years, even if his father strongly supports it, it is still not enough to spend, so it is very likely that he wants to get your iron ore and dansha without work. From this point of view, there are definitely more than 180,000 people secretly raised by the King of Shu. For there were no less than 100,000 weapons in my father's care. ”
"Iron ore is used to make weapons, but what about Dansha? Why is the amount of dansha so large? "This is something Duguqing has never been able to figure out, Dansha can't make weapons, so what are they using Dansha for.
"Dansha should be supplied to the poison peak."
"No, there are also a large amount of dansha transported here, Sun Mo and I saw it last time, and there is indeed dansha here."
"Yes." Sun Mo echoed Liu Chang's words.
"Let's go, take me to see where the weapon is made." Duguqing casually picked up a short sword, and seemed to have an answer in his heart, but he needed to confirm it.
So, everyone went to the building room at the bottom again. Duguqing looked empty, and the building room that should have been in full swing was also deserted, leaving a mess of tools scattered everywhere.
Walking into a boiler, Duguqing looked at the reddened molten iron left inside, and then looked at the short sword in his hand. She pulled out her dagger with a thud. Just listen to the wind of the sword buzzing and fluttering, and the blade is so sharp that it seems to allow the user to hurt people with a sword into the bone. There is no doubt that it is well-built, but this weapon is not only well-made.
Duguqing put the sword close to her nose and sniffed it, and a faint smell of dansha raw ore entered her nose.
"Go and find me some creature, anything."
Duguqing's heart began to beat irregularly, dansha is good medicine if used well, and poison if used badly. Looking at the short sword in her hand, she had a hunch that this was not an ordinary weapon, but a "magic weapon" that sealed her throat in blood.
Sure enough, when Dugu Qing made a slight wound on the leg of the hare that Sun Mo brought back, the hare died on the spot without much struggle.
"This ......" Liu Chang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and the others looked at each other with worries.
"These weapons are all poisonous, not poison on the face, but poison inside and out, it can almost be said that the throat is sealed with blood." Duguqing was also shocked, she always knew that dansha could not only be used in medicine, but also the main source of mercury, that is, mercury that she knew.
She didn't expect that although the ancients didn't know that dansha could refine mercury into mercury, a highly toxic thing, they used mercury thoroughly and unprecedentedly. But this kind of use is extremely evil and ruthless, if it is not stopped, I am afraid that even another 150,000 Qin troops will not be able to resist Mo Shangxuan's unscrupulous poisonous scheme.
