Chapter 244 War Resumes

After Ruifeng received the news of the poisoning of the ghost king, the speed of his reaction was even more rapid, and the thirty armies immediately drove to the pass, led by the third prince Duanmu Tiancheng himself, and took the initiative to attack the Yunyi Army led by Jiang Houye.

Fortunately, Yun Yuhong had made preparations in advance, and Jiang Houye was also well-organized, but he was not caught off guard by Duanmu Tiancheng, and the two armies set up a formation on the battlefield, and they fought evenly in a few days, each with a victory or defeat.

Yun Yuhong's order to Jiang Houye was to defend the mainstay. Once the war starts, it is very likely that the three kingdoms will attack together, and it is impossible for Mo Yun to go deep into other countries at the same time, otherwise the battle line will be too long, there will be problems with supplies, and it will be difficult to replenish the source of troops, so the main battlefield Yun Yuhong is placed in the Chiyan country with weak troops.

Jiang Ruizhen took 300,000 Yunxiang troops straight to Chiyan, in the army, the five princes followed, Chiyan dared to plot against the eldest sister and brother-in-law, they must avenge the eldest sister and brother-in-law. Bai Ziren and the other four people also arrived, in addition to revenge, they also came to be the main attacker, only this battlefield is offensive rather than defensive, and only here can they kill happily.

The princes all followed Jiang Rui's formation, and other battlefields also needed generals, Wang Lekai and others could only go to Jiang Houye and Cao Houye's army. The stingy ghost and the crybaby hesitated for a moment, and decided that they still had to follow up to protect a few princes, especially the prince, not to mention the young age, although the kung fu was good, it was difficult to ensure that there was no mistake when it came to the battlefield, and it would not be good if someone accidentally caught a prisoner.

Chiyan has been training diligently in the past few years, and the army's combat strength has improved greatly, at least it is stronger than before, and Jiang Rui's first battle was not very smooth.

Chiyan used the seventy-year-old veteran general Ji Ran this time, the Ji family was originally a famous military family in Chiyan, and they were all victorious generals on the battlefield for several generations, but when they came to General Ji, they were excluded because they were unwilling to participate in party struggles when they were young, and their children and grandchildren were only petty officials in the army, and the Ji family was about to decline like this. However, when the Emperor of Chiyan planned to start a war with Moyun and wanted to find someone who could deal with the Ghost King, he chose and chosen, but only the Ji family could fight, and there was no way, the Emperor of Chiyan could only bring up this Ji Ran, who was originally unpopular.

Ji Ran is too old to go to the battlefield, but his three sons and seven grandsons are all tiger generals, on the first day of the battlefield, these people fought with Bai Ziren and the princes, and their martial arts are only high, but fortunately, there are stingy ghosts and crybees, otherwise it is really difficult to get out.

Ji Ran led the troops to another must, that is, the formation that the Moyun Army was not good at, when the Chiyan Army formed a formation, the Ghost King Army, which had always been brave and good at fighting, did not get the slightest advantage even if its combat strength was strong.

In the military tent, Jiang Ruizhen's brows furrowed, he is the main battlefield here, the ghost king is counting on him to take Chiyan first and then attack the other two countries, it is not okay to stalemate here, but in the face of the experienced and brave Ji family army, it is not easy to win in a short time.

The second prince looked at the pensive Jiang Ruizhen on the side, and proposed: "General, it won't work to attack, let's change to outwit." Let me be bait, and lead them out into the valley ahead, where you will set up an ambush. ”

Jiang Ruizhen thought for a moment and shook his head, "General Ji is a veteran of leading troops, and these tricks are all small tricks in his eyes, and they are not worth mentioning. Fighting a war is about the time, place, and people. The time is the same as that of the enemy and us, the location is advantageous for him to defend my attack, he has the advantage, and the people, in terms of troops, our army is stronger than him, but in terms of formation, our army is inferior to them, as for the strategy, everyone is half a catty. On the whole, our army does not have much advantage, and we may have to prepare for a long war. ”

Everyone was anxious but couldn't, the little prince pouted, this is because the eldest sister is not here, if the eldest sister is here, there must be a way to quickly attack Chiyan. But it's a good idea to lure the enemy deeper, so you should be able to try it.

Compared with the two battlefields of Chiyan and Ruifeng, Cao Houye on the Zeyu border is under pressure. Mo Lingyu personally led an army of 300,000 to attack this time, and the offensive has been very fierce, and there is a great momentum to win, and the Moyun soldiers have lost a layer in morale. After holding on for two days, Mo Lingyu changed to a sneak attack at night, and then came a second time after failing once, and then he simply fought a battle during the day, another battle at night, and sometimes a burst of rockets to play, Mo Yunjun was deeply disturbed by it, and fell behind at the beginning.

Fortunately, Hou Ye Cao is also amazingly determined, and he still guards the pass tightly, and does not let Zeyu's army take a step forward, but Mo Lingyu's name as the god of war is not false, and it is unknown how long it can be held. Hou Ye Cao has no bottom in his heart, and can only hope that Yun Yuhong will come back soon.

Was Yun Yuhong, who was speculated by all parties, gone to Ghost King Mountain? No, Yun Yuhong returned to the Ghost King's Mansion that day, so she secretly sent Bai Ziyu to a secret room in the palace, and Bai Zhu never left day and night to take care of her. Yun Yuhong cut her wrist again and shed a few large bowls of blood for Bai Ziyu to help him relieve the toxicity, while she secretly left to find an antidote.

When Baizhu saw that Yun Yuhong's poisonous blood could alleviate the onset of the poison in Bai Ziyu, he felt that fighting poison with poison might have an effect. It's just that the poison on Yun Yuhong's body is almost solved, so it doesn't have much effect, but if you can find another poison, maybe you can give it a try.

Baizhu searched some ancient books left by Imperial Physician Dong when he raided his home, and really found a record of phoenix flowers. This phoenix peanut is in the hottest Yanshan Mountain, the flower is not poisonous, but the roots and sap are highly poisonous. And not far from this flower, a red beetle is often seen, which feeds on the sap of the phoenix flower. Therefore, some doctors speculate that this beetle will not be poisoned, and it is very likely that there is something in the body that can solve the poison of phoenix flowers, but the doctor was bitten when he caught this beetle, and then quickly died of poison, and people knew that this beetle was also highly poisonous. Because the phoenix flower became less and less later, it was very difficult to eliminate the refining of this poison, and it had not appeared for more than ten years, so people did not continue to study.

The meaning of Baizhu is very simple, since this beetle was once regarded as a poison that can be decorated, then they will study it again. The phoenix flower is now gone, but this beetle should still be found in Yanshan, so the top priority now is to find this bug. So, Yun Yuhong arranged things and immediately changed into men's clothes and set off for Chiyan.

Yun Yuhong hurriedly came to Chiyan, and did not care about the war between the two countries, but directly entered the territory of Chiyan and ran to Yanshan. Yanshan Yunyuhong is the second time to come, and he used to visit a hermit here when he traveled the rivers and lakes, so the road is not unfamiliar. And when she really entered Yanshan, Yun Yuhong suddenly found that finding one or two beetles in such a big mountain seemed to be no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

When I came to the top of Yanshan Mountain, due to the hot weather, there were only a few weeds and nothing else. Yun Yuhong felt that she could only try her luck first and see if there could be such a bug in the grass. So I patiently spent a day digging up the grass and looking for it carefully, but unfortunately I didn't find anything, and there was not a single trace of an insect.

Endured the disappointment in her heart, Yun Yuhong sat on a boulder and pondered, this beetle lives on the juice of the phoenix flower, could it be that the phoenix flower is extinct, and this insect has also disappeared? Or is it that I am looking for the wrong place, although it is very hot on the top of the mountain, and no plants can grow except for a few grasses, can the phoenix flower grow in this kind of place? No, if this phoenix flower likes high temperatures, the temperature here is not high enough, and the hottest place in Yanshan is not necessarily the top of the mountain.

Looking at this mountain again, Yun Yuhong felt that there was no difference in other places, this is a mountain, although it is difficult to climb, but people come up to collect medicine and chop firewood every day, and I haven't heard of any difference. Or is it the wrong direction to come here to find beetles?

Yun Yuhong was anxious, and the person was also a little depressed, so he started to run in the mountains with light skills, and began to check outside, but it was dark, and he couldn't see anything, and he was destined to get nothing today.

Disillusioned, Yun Yuhong walked around the mountains for a long time, and finally came to the place where the hermit lived in the valley.

Under the moonlight, two thatched huts, a small courtyard with a few vegetables in the courtyard, a set of stone tables and chairs, everything is simple and peaceful.

The hermit is a friend of the old ghost king, and he is almost eighty years old, but his body is very strong, and he does not look old at all. It's just that this person was born with a strange appearance, he actually had three hands, and he was found as a monster by the world a few decades ago, and he was burned alive, and then it was the old ghost king who saved his life, but this person also knew that he was difficult to tolerate in the world, and he was more worried that he was really an ominous person, and going to the Valley of the Ghost King would bring disaster to the people in the Valley of the Ghost King, so he lived alone in the valley of this Yanshan Mountain, far away from the world, and lived alone for decades.

Of course, Yun Yuhong knew that he was just born deformed, and he was not an ominous person, and he would not treat him as a monster, so he was entrusted by the Ghost King to visit him at that time, and lived with him for a while, and got along very well with some hermits. Hermits also rarely see people who don't look at themselves in strange eyes, and they are also very fond of Yun Yuhong. Therefore, he was very happy with the arrival of Yun Yuhong this time.

However, when he heard Yun Yuhong explain his intentions, the hermit lowered his head and thought for a long time without speaking. Yun Yuhong sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, do you have any clues about this beetle?" If you know anything, you must say, Ziyu is my husband, and I must save him. ”

The hermit looked at Yun Yuhong's anxious face and said comfortingly: "Child, don't worry, this matter is not in a hurry for a moment, you calm down, I will slowly tell you the origin of this poison." ”
