Chapter 710: Fierce Beasts Attack the Village
In the past two days, a small number of fierce beasts have appeared near many villages, but they have all been killed by Ruan Sihai's city guards and night army. The beasts didn't pose a danger to the villagers, but the presence of the beasts meant that the beasts spread quickly, and it now seems that human protection alone might not last long.
If there is a beast riot around Fancheng before the allied ordnance unit arrives, the mahjong will have a huge impact on the beast attack plan. Therefore, after receiving the news of the appearance of fierce beasts from those villages, the night army and Fancheng are now more concerned about the situation of fierce beasts in the mountains.
In addition, when Lin Xuanzhong repeatedly adjusted his mentality to prepare for the challenge, after three days of uncertainty, the current weather has become very unoptimistic, and the gloomy sky is always telling everyone that it may rain or snow at any time. Fortunately, because of the lower temperature, the snow is more likely to be greater. Of course, whether it was rain or snow, Lin Xuanzhong and the others didn't want the weather to change to affect the beast attack plan.
In the early morning of the fourth day back in the barracks, the wind outside was particularly cold, and after breakfast, Lin Xuanzhong directly started a busy day. The barracks were inside and out, and they were patrolled everywhere. Because Zhao Xu had also said before that he would let Lin Xuanzhong find out some problems in the camp by himself, when he was on patrol, Lin Xuanzhong was extremely purposeful, and any factors that might affect the beast attack plan were observed.
When Lin Xuanzhong was busy with military affairs, in Shiqiao Village, Zhang Jiutian was helping Xue Yin to finish the work early in the morning. There is still the last part of the medicinal materials left, and the matter of refining the medicine will be over this morning, and when all the medicinal powders are practiced, Zhang Jiutian's task will be over. ,
The first three days were very smooth, and Zhang Jiutian was not worried about today's finishing work, Zhang Jiutian was worried about the weather. Weather changes will inevitably affect the plan, and the size of the impact is beyond their control, so Zhang Jiutian doesn't want the weather to change. It would be best if it remained sunny until the end of the war, but unfortunately Zhang Jiutian also knew very well that they could not decide whether the weather was good or bad.
"Miss Xueyin, do you think it will rain today?" It was this kind of cloudy and uncertain weather for three days in a row, and after making preparations for refining medicine, Zhang Jiutian asked the question he had been thinking about.
"The wind this morning is even colder than usual, and it may be more snowy according to Xue Yin," the refining has not officially started, and Xue Yin doesn't mind answering Zhang Jiutian's question properly.
"Snow?" muttered, Zhang Jiutian continued: "What Miss Xue Yin said is very reasonable, there is still a month before the coldest season will pass, and maybe it's time for a snow!"
"The winter in our Yiguo is characterized by severe cold and dryness, and according to the current situation, the possibility of snow is indeed greater than that of rain," Dahu who was holding something next to him heard the two of them talking about the weather, and out of concern for the weather recently, Dahu also said.
"Brother Big Tiger is right, the winter in Yiguo is indeed very cold," after accepting the idea that snow might fall, Zhang Jiutian was already thinking about whether the snow would affect their plans.
"Brother Big Tiger, if it snows today, do you think it will rain for a few days?" Thinking that the snow had less impact on the beast attack plan than the rain, Zhang Jiutian asked again.
"It depends on the situation," Dahu put down the things in his hand and said with a high face, "If it doesn't fall much, it may fall intermittently for several days." If the drop is very large, it may not take more than three days to stop completely. "Having lived in Fancheng for more than 30 years, Dahu can make inferences about weather problems based on previous experience.
"Master Zhang doesn't have to worry too much, the weather changes are not man-made, we just need to do what is in front of us," Xue Yin, who knew why Zhang Jiutian was so concerned about the weather, and waited on the side for a while, casually relieved.
"En," nodded, Zhang Jiutian put aside the weather problem for the time being, and then said, "Let's start refining medicine." ”
While paying attention to slowly returning to refining medicine, Zhang Jiutian thought helplessly that three days had passed since Lin Xuanzhong came to Shiqiao Village last time. In the past three days, Lin Xuanzhong must have been very busy, but unfortunately his limited ability could not help Lin Xuanzhong worry more, and all he could do now was to refine the last part of the medicine as soon as possible.
In fact, like Zhang Jiutian's thoughts, Xue Yin also guessed that Lin Xuanzhong must have been very busy in the past few days, so he didn't come to Shiqiao Village. Because of this, they have to focus all their energy on refining medicine. For Xue Yin, refining all the giant soul incense as soon as possible is to share Lin Xuanzhong's worries.
"There is Miss Lao Xueyin these days," Seeing that Xueyin had already let the two girls make a fire, and was more active than himself in refining medicine, Zhang Jiutian thanked Xueyin from the bottom of his heart.
"Lord Zhang doesn't need to be polite, as long as Lord Zhang hasn't forgotten the agreement between us," Speaking of which, Zhang Jiutian's views on Xue Yin at the earliest time were correct, and Xue Yin really didn't want to stay in Shiqiao Village to spend his time in waste.
"Miss Xue Yin, don't worry, no matter what Miss Xue Yin wants, as long as it is within the scope of my ability and that of the general, the general and I will definitely do it for Miss Xue Yin," In the past three days, Zhang Jiutian has thought many times about the purpose of Xue Yin's tireless efforts to refine medicine for them. Since he intended to let Xue Yin do things beside Lin Xuanzhong, Zhang Jiutian naturally would not forget their previous agreement. Once the giant soul incense was refined, he and Lin Xuanzhong had to agree to any request from Xue Yin, of course, Xue Yin's request was within the power of the two of them.
"With Master Zhang's words, Xue Yin naturally did her best," after receiving Zhang Jiutian's face-to-face assurance again, Xue Yin's originally calm eyes revealed a bit of firmness, as if she had been given an important mission in an instant.
"Lord Zhang, let's start," Seeing that the two girls had already poured the blood of the beast into the furnace, Xue Yin officially began refining the last half catty of medicinal powder.
"Well," Zhang Jiutian nodded and counted the medicinal materials that needed to be used again. On the other side, the big tiger and the two girls on the side had been listening to the two of them, but unfortunately they couldn't hear the reason.
After a few days of getting along, Dahu already knows Zhang Jiutian very well as a person, except that his strength is much stronger than them, in other aspects, Zhang Jiutian has the same ordinary personality as them, and he is not difficult to get along with at all, unlike many sons who are in their eyes. It was also after meeting Zhang Jiutian that Dahu learned that the so-called high-level martial cultivators were actually not much different from them.
In the past three days, the lunch and dinner for the five people were delivered by Huang Lao himself, and they had to be checked by the guards at the door. After verifying the efficacy of the drug, Li Jianran did his best to ensure the safety of several people.
Time passed little by little, and soon in the afternoon, the sky was gloomy and about to drip water, and in the living room, the last furnace of medicinal powder was about to be refined.
"Oh no, no, the fierce beasts have rushed to the village," when there was still half an hour before the medicinal powder was formed, the shouts of some villagers came from far outside the courtyard, and the shouts became louder and louder, sounding like there were many fierce beasts rushing into the village.
Standing at the door of the living room with a suspicious face, looking in the direction where the voice came from, Zhang Jiutian, who was already ready to collect the last piece of medicine, was anxious to see what was going on, and he was worried that going out would affect the refining of the medicine. Although there are not many medicinal items in the furnace, the more the better
"Come on, the beast has rushed to the village," the shouts outside became more and more urgent, and the others in the room could not be calm.
Earlier, there was a night army guarding outside the village, Zhang Jiutian knew very well, based on his understanding of the situation in the mountains, it was not difficult for Zhang Jiutian to guess that either there were too many fierce beasts and they did not have enough manpower, or there were powerful fierce beasts among the fierce beasts, and the people guarding outside could not resist it, so they would let the fierce beasts rush to the village. Regardless of the specific situation, Zhang Jiutian planned to go out and have a look.
"Miss Xue Yin," looked back at the medicine furnace, then at Xue Yin, and Zhang Jiutian asked directly, "Can I go out and have a look?"
"There is not much medicine in the furnace, we can deal with it, Lord Zhang, you go outside and take a look, don't let the villagers be in danger," the situation outside was so urgent, Xue Yin felt that Zhang Jiutian should go out.
"Okay, the matter of refining medicine will be handed over to you, you can rest assured, I will let the people at the door guard it closely, and I will definitely not let a fierce beast in," Regardless of whether those fierce beasts rushing into the village had something to do with their refining medicine, Zhang Jiutian knew very well that the place that needed the most protection was this small courtyard. After reminding a few people, Zhang Jiutian left the living room directly.
"Vice General Zhang," before he reached the gate of the courtyard, several guards at the gate had already come over first.
"A few of you call the people around the courtyard over, no matter what the situation is, you must not let the fierce beast affect the refining medicine inside, otherwise it will be dealt with by the highest military law," The soldiers guarding the door are all soldiers from the headquarters, as their direct superiors, the military order issued by Zhang Jiutian is the highest military order for those people.
"Yes," those who also did not know the specific situation agreed in unison, and then drew their weapons and assumed a posture of being ready for battle.
Glancing back at the courtyard, Zhang Jiutian directly borrowed a guard's weapon, and then hurried to the direction where the voice came.
Not long after, Zhang Jiutian noticed that there were many villagers in front of him running towards him in a panic, men, women and children looked overly frightened, and when the two sides met, one of them knew Zhang Jiutian immediately stopped and explained the situation to Zhang Jiutian.
The villagers' statements made Zhang Jiutian realize that the situation was extremely urgent, and after telling the villagers to run to the other side of the village as soon as possible, Zhang Jiutian also trotted all the way to the area where the battle was fighting. When they arrived there, the two huge beasts directly attracted Zhang Jiutian's attention.
