Chapter 695: Sleepless Night

"General Lin and his lieutenant went to the west to check on the situation of the fierce beasts in the mountain, and they should not have come back for the time being," it was Li Jianran who replied, because Lin Xuanzhong had informed Li Jianran when he went out.

"How long have you been there?"

"It's been almost two hours. ”

"Did you send anyone from the east?"

"The marshal can rest assured that the last general has sent other generals, and the situation on both sides should be ascertained before dark. ”

"Yes," Zhao Xu nodded.

The distribution of fierce beasts in the mountains on both sides of Fancheng is one of the situations that they should pay attention to when implementing the beast attack plan, and Zhao Xu naturally has no objection to this.

"How's it going on with medicinal herbs?"

"Back to Marshal, the last general over there Ruan Sihai has already sent someone to ask, when Ruan Qiling used the beast attack plan to deal with our army, he had already collected soul-attracting incense from all over the Wing Country, although in the end I am not sure if it has been used up, but the rest has disappeared, presumably the situation is not very optimistic. ”

"The last general plans to send people around the heavy mountains to collect soul-attracting incense from all over the Wing Country, hoping to get some from some underground black markets, but please forgive the last general, based on the current situation, I am afraid that General Lin's plan will be difficult to implement. It was Yan Nantian who replied, because Yan Nantian was in charge of the medicinal materials.

"No matter what, we must find enough soul-attracting incense, General Lin's beast attack plan is the only way for our side to break the situation. The night is in crisis again, and Ben Shuai will never allow problems to arise in the east, "Zhao Xu naturally knows that there are many conditions required to implement the beast attack plan, but no matter how difficult it is, they can't give up, because the beast attack plan is their hope to defeat the coalition army."

"Marshal, isn't there any other plan that works?" Zhao Xu's resolute tone made Zhang Daring a little suspicious, with Zhang Daring's understanding, even if the night army and the coalition army confronted each other head-on, they were not impossible to defeat the coalition army.

"No," it's a pity that Zhang Dadao's questioning was only ushered in by Zhao Xu's direct denial. Maybe there would be other ways to replace Zhao Wu, but Zhao Xu didn't think that he had Zhao Wu's ability.

"Marshal, is it possible that the hopes of our whole army are pinned on General Lin, what if General Lin's plan cannot be carried out smoothly?" Zhang Daring still did not give up, and then asked again.

"General Zhang, if you really can't implement the beast attack plan, this marshal has his own opinions, and now you just need to understand that you must ensure the smooth implementation of the beast attack plan!"

"The marshal can rest assured that the last general has ordered his subordinates to select suitable men from the cavalry camp to be responsible for infiltrating the coalition camp. ”

"Well, this matter must be cautious, and there must be no mistakes," nodded, Zhao Xu planned to only ask about it today, and the next thing to do was to wait for news.

There were still more than ten days left before the arrival of the allied ordnance unit, and in that time, they only had to prepare all the conditions for the implementation of the beast attack plan.

On the other side, in Shiqiao Village, Lin Xuanzhong and the three of them had already returned with a group of villagers. Except for the two corpses of the beasts that were sent to the designated place, the other corpses of the beasts were all disposed of by the villagers themselves, and Xue Yin only wanted some things in the bodies of those beasts.

The essence and blood of the beast exists in the heart vein, and to cut the thick skin and flesh of the beast to get the essence blood at the heart vein, the help of Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian is indispensable. At the moment, because no specific decision has been made, Lin Xuanzhong can only follow Zhang Jiutian to try his best to help Xue Yin.

Besides, refining the giant soul incense not only requires the blood of the beast essence, but also other medicinal materials, and there is still a long time for Lin Xuanzhong to consider during the period of collecting medicinal materials and refining medicinal materials, so Lin Xuanzhong is not in a hurry to make a decision for the time being.

Waiting for the two of them to take the blood of the beast essence for Xue Yin, on the other side, Xue Yin had already written a prescription for the two of them, and the prescription was written on it more than a dozen medicinal materials needed to refine the giant soul incense, as well as the corresponding amount. After putting away the list, Lin Xuanzhong planned to go back and hand it over to the top to deal with.

Even though it was winter, it wouldn't be long before the beast essence blood was taken out and stored there, so according to Xue Yin, Lin Xuanzhong had to send the medicinal materials quickly. In addition, Xue Yin also reminded the two of them that the essence blood of the beast is hard to find, and if they fail to gather enough medicinal materials before the essence blood of the beast deteriorates, then the agreement between the two parties can only be invalidated.

Originally, he was still holding a bit of procrastination, but after Xue Yin emphasized that time was limited, Lin Xuanzhong became nervous again, and could only think about thinking about the original problem as soon as possible.

Time passed little by little, and after Xue Yin didn't need the help of the two of them here, Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian were directly invited to Huang's house. In order to ceremoniously entertain the two, Huang Lao brought all the high-status elders in the village to accompany the guests, and he was afraid that there would be inadequate hospitality. It's a pity that it's not early to eat, so Lin Xuanzhong and Zhang Jiutian simply fill their stomachs and leave. Since the two of them will come over again tomorrow, Huang Lao and the others did not stay long.

Back in the barracks, Lin Xuanzhong immediately went to Li Jianran to report the situation of the fierce beasts in Shiqiao Village clearly. Earlier, because of the relationship between the beasts, there would be a large number of fierce beasts over there, but now that the two beasts have been killed, the situation in the mountains will be eased somewhat. Of course, in order to ensure the safety of Shiqiao Village, Lin Xuanzhong had already asked Li Jianran for instructions to send some people around Shiqiao Village to protect the safety of the villagers.

Of course, sending someone there can also guarantee that the information will not be leaked, so why not kill two birds with one stone. Regardless of whether Lin Xuanzhong wanted to find Xue Yin to refine medicine in the end, the matter of refining medicine could not be leaked.

After Lin Xuanzhong said that he would send someone to Shiqiao Village, Li Jianran readily agreed, because the situation there required their attention at all times, but Li Jianran didn't know that Lin Xuanzhong had found someone who could refine medicinal materials for them.

In addition, in order to ensure that there would be no extraneous complications, Li Jianran also made it clear that he would send people to pay attention to the movements of the fierce beasts and leave it to Ruan Sihai to do. Because Ruan Sihai came forward to be justified, it is not eye-catching.

Lin Xuanzhong couldn't deny Li Jianran's thoughtfulness, because Li Jianran said very clearly, and he had to install their people. Thinking about it, once Ruan Sihai sent someone to Shiqiao Village, he would definitely ask the people in the village about the situation, so in terms of manpower arrangement, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he needed to think more.

When the two were talking about the distribution of fierce beasts in the heavy mountains in the west, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to take out the prescription in his sleeve many times and hand it to Li Jianran, and then explain the matter of refining the medicine, but he didn't take it out after hesitating. It wasn't until the conversation between the two was about to end, when Li Jianran deliberately talked about Zhao Xu's resolute attitude towards the implementation of the beast attack plan, and the difficulty of obtaining high-grade medicine soul incense, that Lin Xuanzhong realized that he had no time to think about it.

Not only because of the seriousness of the situation, but Lin Xuanzhong also thought that if he didn't come up with the prescription now, and waited for Li Jianran to know about it from the news conveyed by the people below tomorrow, it would be something he had done wrong, so in the end, Lin Xuanzhong took out the prescription with the statement he had forgotten before.

Not surprisingly, Li Jianran directly asked the origin of the prescription, and in the face of Li Jianran's inquiry, Lin Xuanzhong had no other choice but to talk about Xue Yin's ability to refine giant soul incense. Based on his own understanding of the medicine of giant soul incense, the more Li Jianran listened, the more surprised he became.

When Lin Xuanzhong regretted taking out the prescription more and more, Li Jianran, who had already understood most of it, immediately asked Lin Xuanzhong with a cautious face if Xue Yin really had the ability to refine high-quality giant soul incense. Because the cost of buying enough medicinal materials is no longer something that can be decided by him as a general, Li Jianran needs to ask Zhao Xu for instructions after asking about the situation again.

Li Jianran's attitude made Lin Xuanzhong more and more nervous, and at this moment, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't regret it. Originally, I wanted to say that it was uncertain whether Xue Yin could cultivate a high-quality giant soul incense, but under Li Jianran's expectant and extremely serious gaze, it seemed that it was impossible to say that anymore. Because once Li Jianran feels that there is little hope, then this prescription is likely to become a piece of waste paper.

Based on what he had heard from Li Jianran about the difficulty of finding medicine, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but consider the preservation time of the beast's essence blood.

"Miss Xue Yin is very knowledgeable, there should be no problem," after a period of consideration, Lin Xuanzhong could only reply in an affirmative tone.

"Okay," Li Jianran clapped his hands, and then continued: "Since you have such confidence, I will immediately go and ask the marshal." Once the marshal agrees, the matter of alchemy will be left to you. ”

"Yes," under Li Jianran's formal response, Lin Xuanzhong could only nod in agreement. At the end of a meeting, when he left Li Jianran, Lin Xuanzhong only felt that he was in a trance, as if all the bad questions had poured into his mind, and soon Lin Xuanzhong had the idea of leaving the army.

After the extreme chaos, in a blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhong only had Xue Yin's kind face left in his mind, and after returning to his residence in a trance, Lin Xuanzhong lay on the bed before washing. Under the candlelight at the head of the bed, Lin Xuanzhong kept thinking about whether to explain to Xue Yin the purpose of their refining medicine, this question had already stumped Lin Xuanzhong.

As time passed, Lin Xuanzhong's thoughts were as messy as those with gray hair that night, and it was the first time that Lin Xuanzhong had faced such a great pressure after more than a year. Under tremendous pressure, there is only indescribable pain. It's just that the cold candlelight hangs at the head of the bed, always motionless, and it can't bring any help to Lin Xuanzhong.

Tossing and turning, Lin Xuanzhong struggled repeatedly in a contradictory psychology all night, and he couldn't sleep peacefully. When the light from outside shone into the house early the next morning, Lin Xuanzhong, who was lying on the bed, accidentally realized that it was already dawn.

After getting up from the bed, Lin Xuanzhong finally crossed the hurdle in his heart and wanted to tell Xue Yin the intention of refining medicine, because this was something that Xue Yin would know sooner or later, so Lin Xuanzhong felt that it would be better to let Xue Yin decide whether to continue refining medicine or not.

However, last night Li Jianran had already said that he would ask Zhao Xu for instructions, and now he doesn't know what the situation above is, if he can make the current decision early, Lin Xuanzhong feels that he doesn't have to rush to hand over the prescription to Li Jianran before, so that Xue Yin can have a better choice.
