Chapter 509: The Land of the Garrison

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jin Lie stood at the front, his eyes full of worry.

"I'm afraid our oil is not enough to deal with ......"

As soon as the worry in his heart was spoken, he looked at the piles of liquor jars and oil barrels on the other side, and immediately stopped his mouth. He remembered that he had just thrown out a lot of spirits and oil, how could there be so much left? Doesn't that make sense?

But this is not the time to care about these things, and the poisonous snake may come out and bite at any time. With these fire oils, it is only a matter of time before the remaining snakes can be blocked by continuing to attack them with fire.

The tug-of-war continued until dawn, and the sun in the east had not yet shown its face, but its halo had already illuminated half of the sky.

The snakes finally stopped, and there were probably only a few that roamed, and the rest were all here. Looking at the black or charred snake corpses, everyone couldn't help but feel a little sick to their stomachs, coupled with the foul smell, Chaoxue finally couldn't help but run to the side and vomit.

The sun was rising and shining on the earth, and the temperature suddenly rose, and everyone took off their cotton clothes, but they still felt hot.

The men were busy with smiles on their faces, the fangs of the venomous snake and the poison powder scraped off the tip of their tail were both valuable treasures, the venom on the fangs could be refined into antidote pills, and the poison powder on the tip of the tail was a good anesthetic.

There are so many poisonous snakes, and only three vials of venom and two vials of venom powder have been collected.

Jin Lie walked in front of Shen Xiaoxia with the loot, looking at the three girls who were already ready to go, they didn't seem to have anything on them, where did all those things come from last night? Hiding the doubts in his heart, Jin Lie bowed deeply to Shen Xiaoxia again.

"Thank you Miss for saving your life, if Miss hadn't helped me last night, my brothers and I would definitely have no bones."

Jin Lie didn't say it nonsense to please Shen Xiaoxia, what he said was the truth. This poisonous snake is a ferocious carnivore, and with so many of them, it will definitely be able to gnaw the bones and slag of more than 30 men.

"You take these, although they are not much, but they are very precious."

Shen Xiaoxia looked at the few small bottles handed over by the other party, but only took one bottle of each, she didn't dare to be interested in these poisonous things, she just took them back and gave them to the hospital.

"You all contribute, we don't dare to do it alone."

As he spoke, he stepped on the horse and nodded to everyone.

"We still have to hurry, and it's getting dark before we get ahead. Leave! ”

This time, no one will question the ability of the three girls, only feel that the three girls are chivalrous and courageous, if this girl hadn't come to remind them last night and gave them support and protection, they might have died so simply and tragically.

"I don't know the name of the benefactor yet."

Jin Lie hurriedly asked when Shen Xiaoxia pulled the horse rope.

"My surname is Shen, farewell!"

Looking at the three backs that were beating horses and leaving a burst of dust, all the men admired it.

"Boss, if this girl becomes our sister-in-law......"

Jin Lie patted the head of his little brother and sighed.

"How could such a girl be thought of by a reckless man like me? Do your job, it's time for us to hit the road. ”

"You can't say that, you're ......"

"Don't shut up yet, do you still want me to help you cultivate?"

The little brother was stunned by Jin Liehu's eyes and hurriedly stopped, it was really the emperor who was not in a hurry to die of the eunuch, the little brother silently complained in his heart, and ran to work in a slippery manner, and they should also set off as soon as possible when it was not early.

Although Jin Lie said this, his heart moved slightly, and he glanced back again, and the distant person who could no longer see the shadow clearly, clenched his thick fist.

…………

Heading southwest again, it was noon, and the sun was scorching, and the roasted people were dizzy. Shen Xiaoxia and the three of them also entered the most central area of the Loess Plain, and the further they went, they could see piles of white bones or corpses that had decomposed maggots everywhere, and this was the battlefield that used to be.

Thinking that Hu Qing and the others had fought in this difficult environment, Xiao Xia felt extremely uncomfortable, especially those dead soldiers, whose bones could not even return to their hometown, so they could only stay here and wait to be eaten by wild beasts, and then slowly rot or weather, and finally disappear on this land.

"Master, look."

Shen Xiaoxia followed Chaoyu's fingers and saw an inconspicuous bird hovering in the air, which was the bee letter bird she used to wear letters.

The Hummingbird has a special ability to find its owner as quickly as possible, no matter where its owner is.

As soon as Shen Xiaoxia raised her hand, the little bee letter bird fluttered its wings and slowly landed in her palm. Remove a small, extremely light letter box from its lower leg, and inside is a piece of letter paper as thin as a cicada's wing.

After looking at it carefully, Shen Xiaoxia tightened the horse's rope again.

"Hu Qing is in distress, let's speed up."

When Chaoyu and Chaoxue heard this, their complexion changed, and they nodded solemnly.

The three fast horses galloped forward again.

After running non-stop for two days, he finally arrived at the territory of the garrison, standing halfway up the mountainside and looking at the endless tents below, Shen Xiaoxia's face became solemn again.

"Master, it's hard for us to enter the barracks."

It's not difficult to get in, the main thing is that once it's discovered, it will definitely be grabbed as a sharp point, and then it will be speechless.

"You stay here and wait for me, I'll go and find out the situation first."

"Master, let's go."

Chaoyu and Chaoxue said in unison, how could they let their master take risks?

"You are obedient, I also know General Xiao here, maybe I can speak, if not, we will come back to you."

Leaving dry food for the two, Shen Xiaoxia took advantage of the night to sneak into the barracks, it was still easy to find General Xiao, the middle of the barracks, the largest and most luxurious tent, must be Xiao Qirui's.

Xiao Qirui has been stationed on the border side all these years, and even the last time he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds in Shangjing, he did not return to Shangjing. He can also be regarded as the most powerful heir of the Xiao family now.

But the tiger also had a nap, and after the Red Lotus Kingdom sued for peace, the sword went sideways and suddenly captured the two border cities in Kyushu, which was also something he did not expect. By the time he reacted, it was too late, this was a mistake that was not wrong, not only made the royal family dissatisfied, but even the Xiao family's herald letterheads were urging him one after another like snowflakes, and he was really busy recently.

Xiao Qirui, who was busy until the middle of the night before returning to his tent to rest, knew that a stranger had come here as soon as he walked into his tent, and immediately raised the weapon in his hand and slowed down.

This kind of assassination of the commander of the enemy army naturally happens from time to time, and Xiao Qirui has suffered more than he can count the assassinations he has suffered over the years, and he has long been accustomed to this kind of life of careful precautions everywhere. The weapon never leaves his hand, and he never sleeps with his eyes, otherwise he really doesn't know how many times he has died.

"General Xiao doesn't have to be nervous."
