Chapter 267: Potion and Red Light
The bottom of this dark stream could not be studied, He Lingchuan and Shan Youjun walked back to the bottom of the cliff in the dark, climbed the rope that their companions drooped, and climbed back to the high ground.
The return trip was quite smooth and there were no twists and turns.
……
When He Lingchuan rushed back to the barracks in Xinhuang Town, the lights were bright, the personnel were busy, and the atmosphere was not relaxed.
Extinguishing fires, cleaning up camps, treating the wounded, detaining and interrogating prisoners, counting grain and grass, and exchanging news with the county government were all quite well organized under He Chunhua's command.
When he saw He Lingchuan appear, he threw down the official next to him and walked over: "What, have you taken Dong Rui?" ”
"Nope." He Lingchuan shook his head, "I still let him run." ”
The surname Dong is probably a loach, and he doesn't leave his hands behind.
"It's hard to catch." He Chunhua looked disappointed, but still patted him on the shoulder, "Ignore him for now, we have more difficult problems." He also knew that after Dong Rui suffered a heavy blow, he was not worried in the short term.
"The restaurant exploded before, and the local county magistrate was still alive and had a leg broken. But Mr. Mo Zhe......" he sighed deeply, "he couldn't make it. ”
He Lingchuan immediately said: "Father's Day condolences." ”
Mo Zhe Jingxuan is an old man brought by He Chunhua from Blackwater City, and there is no need to say much about his loyalty, suddenly folding here is a big loss for He Chunhua, who is in short supply of talents.
"Also, the Xunzhou rangers who retreated from here were answered halfway, so our men and horses turned back."
The poor man chased after him for more than thirty miles, and no one could get the gold bounty, so he had to return in a huff-
Lord Baili's life is too hard.
However, the Xunzhou rangers suffered heavy losses, nearly 300 people came, but in the end only 100 horses escaped, more than half of them were wounded.
He Lingchuan felt even more bad after hearing this: "Someone answered? ”
"Chased to Ma Mingpo, more than 200 people were killed in the oblique, all of them were strong soldiers and horses, and we had to give up the pursuit and return." He Chunhua's face was gloomy, and he was also angry with these subordinates.
He Lingchuan had already heard that something was wrong: "Where did these more than 200 Xunzhou soldiers come from?" "Obviously, it wasn't the "Baili Lord" subordinate, otherwise he would have attacked Xinhuang with him a long time ago.
"According to the prisoner's confession, the general who was cut off by you is named Bailiqing, a guerrilla general under Nian Zanli, who is not small in reputation and has a good record, but he didn't expect to be defeated by you in one round."
"It's a pity that I was burned by this big fish." The personal soldiers around Bailiqing were all desperate to protect him from the siege.
At this moment, He Chunhua also recruited the guard who was shooting arrows from earlier.
This guard looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, similar to He Lingchuan's age, but he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life in exchange for the powerful power of injuring the ghost ape, and his face was pale at this time, and his lips were purple.
Although the ghost eye bow is strong, it has sequelae when used.
He Chunhua patted him on the shoulder, with appreciation on his face: "Well done, you have merit." ”
The guards were covered with beads of sweat on their foreheads, but they were overjoyed: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
He Chunhua took out a jade pendant from the storage ring, handed it to him, and said, "Wear this talisman, from today on, you will be my personal guard." ”
The guards took it with great joy.
He Lingchuan looked at him and said, "What's your name?" ”
"Villain Hu Xuan."
He Lingchuan nodded, and there were more and more faces around his father. Having said that, he doesn't really know how many cronies He Chunhua has.
The fire had been extinguished, and the wounded were also placed in a nearby residence, He Lingchuan saw that there was nothing to do with him here, so he went to the camp to occupy a tent, and then told the rock wolf to guard the door, and no one was allowed to let in.
He compacted the bottom of the tent himself to make sure that not a single fly could fly in, and then lit the oil lamp and took out the new glass bottle to look at it carefully.
As soon as the bottle came out, the divine bone necklace around his neck began to heat up again, and He Lingchuan could feel its longing, like a hungry person looking at a roast leg of lamb that was bubbling with oil.
He thought about it, took off the divine bone necklace and put it on the bench, then uncorked the glass bottle, and slowly approached.
He didn't dare to smell it, the smell of some drugs can also poison people.
Interestingly, the round hole in the center of the god bone necklace faintly smells of wind, as if there is a small wind cave hidden inside.
He Lingchuan cautiously poured a drop of the red liquid in the bottle.
Just a drop.
Then the red liquid fell into the round hole in the god's bones and disappeared.
He Lingchuan picked up the necklace and searched around the bench, but he didn't find a trace. It means that the red liquid passed through the round hole and did not know where it flowed into.
But now He Lingchuan already knows that the divine bone necklace is the entry key to the Dafang Pot Illusion. So who exactly absorbed this liquid, was it the Divine Bone Necklace itself, or was it ...... Big square pot?
He recalled that the first two times he had eaten the Divine Bone Necklace, one was the cornerstone of the Immortal Cave Mansion, and the other time it might have been Hong Xiangqian's spirit rune, both of which were extraordinary.
Now that this red liquid is being looked at by the Divine Bone, can it prove that it is also a rare thing?
However, after eating a drop of the Divine Bone Necklace, it no longer heated, and the wind tunnel in the center disappeared, turning back into the ordinary chain pendant.
"Do you want more?" He asked the Divine Bone Necklace. Ever since he knew that the Floating Knife could understand his questioning, he had assumed that this thing was okay, but he never usually communicated with him.
The Divine Bone Necklace didn't respond, as always.
That is, it has eaten enough. As long as one drop, it's quite easy to feed.
He Lingchuan put away the necklace and medicine bottle, walked out of the tent, and found the medicine ape Lingguang with the help of the rock wolf.
This monkey is treating people in the ward, conscientious, and his hands and feet are much sharper than ordinary military doctors, and he is generally loved by the wounded.
When He Lingchuan found it, it had a bib with nuts around its neck, which was already full, all of which had been given by patients.
He took a few peanuts from his pocket and ate them while peeling them: "I got a trophy, you can help me take a look." ”
"Right now!"
As a result, He Lingchuan waited for a quarter of an hour before Lingguang withdrew from the pile of sick numbers and went back to the tent with him.
He Lingchuan recounted the whole process of failing to pursue Dong Rui but getting the glass bottle, and then said to Lingguang: "Dong Rui was going to use this thing on the seriously injured ghost ape, maybe it has a first-aid effect." Since it's a drug, I'll leave it to you to analyze. ”
Lingguang's eyes lit up after listening, holding the glass bottle and observing it repeatedly, like getting a beloved toy, he didn't have time to give He Lingchuan a look: "Okay!" ”
Seeing that it unceremoniously occupied the tent, He Lingchuan shook his head and retreated by himself.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for the people of Xiazhou.
Zeng Feixiong led people to find the body of the sentry nearby, which also explains why the sentry did not raise the alarm when Bailiqing invaded Xinhuang. Therefore, He Chunhua ordered the security around the garrison to be tightened and the interrogation of the prisoners was intensified.
He was anxious to know who was in charge of the operation.
After Zeng Feixiong returned from chasing Bailiqing, he and his subordinates sat by the bonfire to rest, drinking water and eating cakes. He Lingchuan paced over and handed him the wine jug: "Take a sip?" "Tonight was thrilling.
Zeng Feixiong shook his head: "Change shifts for a while, and you can't drink." ”
He Lingchuan chatted with him about the battle of Fangcai, and inquired about the process of pursuing Bailiqing. Zeng Feixiong was still some distance away from the soldiers, so he lowered his voice and said: "It's okay to beat the water dog, and it will collapse with a blow when it hits a hard bone." As soon as Bailiqing's response arrived, the pursuers led by him withered, "The kind of team we pulled up in Xiazhou can't go to the northern battlefield." ”
Now that he has been promoted, he has to be anxious about what the chief manager is anxious about. For the current Xiazhou, it is really a luxury to pull up a team that is good at fighting, and there is not enough time or financial resources.
He Lingchuan was not surprised by his comments: "I have to train for a while." If you look at the armies in various places, how many of them are recruited and go directly to the battlefield within a few days, how can they have the energy to train first? In fact, winning a few more battles is better than anything else, and you have to be able to pick opponents. ”
He has experienced first-hand in Panlong City, and at least half of the bravery of the Gale Army comes from confidence: the confidence of the people of Panlong City in their victory in every battle, and their overflowing self-confidence.
Jiao Tai leaned over and said: "More than 100 of them escaped, this battle is aggrieved!" ”
Zeng Feixiong didn't like to hear this, after all, he was the one who led the team. He smiled: "Most of the wounded soldiers were released, and some were quite seriously injured, this is the meaning of the manager!" ”
He Lingchuan sighed.
Jiao Tai was straight and didn't understand: "What do you mean?" ”
"We find Xunzhou people tricky because they roam around and it's hard to find them." He Lingchuan explained to him, "Now they are dragging a bunch of wounded soldiers, and they have to find a way to settle them, which is easy to show their feet." "The people of Xunzhou are operating deep behind enemy lines, and it is difficult to get effective treatment after being injured, which is a big trouble.
Daddy is so insidious.
At this moment, He Lingchuan suddenly saw a red light flashing not far to the west.
The light wasn't strong, but it was striking enough in the dark night.
What is that?
Under his gaze, there seemed to be a few more red rays of light, a bit like lightning, but it didn't cause any consequences, and the surroundings were still quiet.
He Lingchuan looked left and right, and suddenly found a strange phenomenon:
The soldiers around him should eat, drink, and talk, and even look there with little interest. Even Shan Youjun, Zeng Feixiong and others seemed to be ignoring that light.
He Lingchuan asked tentatively, "What is that?" ”
"Huh?" Jiao Tai was puzzled, "What?" ”
He Lingchuan pointed in the direction of the red light: "Can't you see?" ”
Everyone was at a loss: "What do you see?" ”
They really can't see it. He Lingchuan was stupid: "It's okay, what's the use of it now?" "Where the red light rises, it seems that there are also several bungalows.
Zeng Feixiong glanced at it: "Prisoners of war." ”
He Lingchuan immediately clapped his hands and stood up, moving towards the red light.
At least in the hearts of Zeng Feixiong and other generals who came out of Blackwater City, he had already taken off the image of a young man who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and even half of his credit for keeping the military rations tonight, so he didn't ask him what to do, everyone was still busy.
