The soldiers on the front line of the Northern Zhou Dynasty are now in charge of Yuwenchun and Sima, Da Xizhen is the commander-in-chief of the former three armies, Yuwenzhao, Yuwensheng and Hou Mo Chenqiong are in the rear, and the base camp is in the land of Heyin, which is less than ten state capitals away from the capital.

The capture of Wangzhou north of the Huai River has consumed a large number of troops, and now although the morale has soared, it is impossible to avoid the shortage of people, in addition, the other places bordering the Northern Qi are not strictly guarded, and they have been repeatedly harassed, and the people are miserable.

In addition to the biggest threat to Northern Qi in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there is also a Chen Guo eyeing him below.

Although Yuwen Shihong had already made up his mind to rectify the situation in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he couldn't help but feel chuckled in his heart when he heard the words.

He could only comfort himself in his heart, although the Northern Zhou Dynasty was weak, at least he still had the power to resist, if he really wore that kind of one-sided crushing dynasty, I am afraid that he could really only wait for death!

Fortunately, he has the memory of later generations, and he knows in his heart that Northern Qi is not completely ironclad, and in two years, I am afraid that he will be in chaos internally, as long as he seizes this opportunity, he will be able to capture Northern Qi in one fell swoop!

Thinking about this, Yuwen Shihong couldn't help but think about his black powder again.

As long as this big killer comes out, no matter what he is from Northern Qi and Southern Qi, a single artillery piece will have to be crushed to pieces in the past!

That night, the palace maids and eunuchs were afraid of the regeneration of insects in the palace, so they sprayed many insect repellent potions, and sent people to patrol the outside in shifts.

What I didn't expect was that they were so strictly guarded, and that night, dense poisonous insects descended on the emperor's bedroom again!

When it was about time, Yuwen Shihong hugged Yang Qianxue and just wanted to sleep beautifully, when he heard a scream from the palace maid outside the door.

"Ahh Poisonous insects, poisonous insects are here again! ”

Yuwen Shihong immediately opened his eyes, got up in three steps and two steps, and rushed outside.

Yang Qianxue also tidied up her clothes without hesitation and jumped up.

opened the door, and the scene in front of them made the two of them gasp suddenly, and their hearts were even more shocked!

I saw that the eyes were full of insects, densely climbing along the dragon pillar and the ground of the steps, and if I looked closely, the five poisons of Yanhuang were all complete, and the centipedes, scorpions, and poisonous spiders were all there!

Rao is Yuwen Shihong is not afraid of insects, and he can't help but feel a little numb in his scalp at this time.

These insects came out of nowhere silently, and no one noticed the people in the palace, and at this time, there were eunuchs and palace maids who were frantically splashing around with insect repellent potion, but with little effect!

Many poisonous insects didn't care about those potions at all, and a few of them quickly shook their heads and continued to crawl around after being slightly affected.

A faint cheer rang out.

"The emperor quickly retreats!"

Yang Qianxue swung out a sword, and the cold sword swept away the poisonous insects in front of Yuwen Shihong, and the corpses of the poisonous insects were not left behind.

"Cher!"

Yuwen Shihong was startled, but when he turned around, he saw that Yang Qianxue's face had turned slightly pale, her delicate body was trembling, and her eyes were constantly dodging and she didn't dare to look at those poisonous insects.

He immediately realized in his heart, and without hesitation, he hugged Yang Qianxue tightly in his arms and blocked her eyes.

"Xue'er, don't look at it, don't worry, I'm here!"

"Come on, burn it with fire, I still don't believe it, what insect can not be afraid of fire!"

When the palace maid and eunuch heard this, they suddenly found torches, but before they could do anything, those insects retreated as if they had received some instructions!

The next night, torches were lit around the dormitory, and in order to prevent the danger of water, the palace maids, eunuchs and guards took turns on duty again, and the poisonous insects did not come that night.

Yuwen Shihong also quickly forgot about these poisonous insects in the back of his head, and worked hard to develop and perfect his black powder every day.

In the past few nights, sometimes those poisonous insects will come out, sometimes they will not come out, but there has never been an incident of hurting people, and they are all highly poisonous things that can poison people, but they have never used poison on humans.

It stands to reason that this is simply impossible, could it be that these things come every day just to be scary?

The palace maids and eunuchs were tossed and depressed, and they lost their appetite and trembled every day.

Another night, and the dense poisonous insects came out of nowhere again.

The palace maids and eunuchs were numb and used torches to expel them, because these poisonous insects had not hurt people for several days, and they could even be called docile, and their vigilance in their hearts was also relaxed, and they only regarded these poisonous insects as a daily work.

There were even bold guards who allowed a scorpion that was extremely poisonous at first sight to climb onto his arm.

However, at this moment, the poisonous insects, which had always behaved meekly, suddenly became restless, and the poisonous scorpion did not hesitate to plunge its tail pincers into the flesh and blood of the guards!

"Ahhh

The guard screamed, his face suddenly turned purple, and he fainted on the ground!

"Alert!"

The guards reacted and roared.

"All the staff are on alert, the torches are ready, and all are not allowed to touch these poisonous insects, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

Everyone is facing the enemy, but when these poisonous insects show extremely aggressiveness, they can't be guarded against at all!

Even with torches, the deterrent effect on them is only in case, relying on their flexibility, they climb up the boots of the guards, eunuchs and palace maids, and inject toxins into them when they touch their skin!

The sound of falling to the ground continued one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the guards with strong combat power were all lying down!

The rest of the people were frightened and screamed and wanted to escape, but then they thought that the emperor was still resting in the palace, and if they fled at this time, it would be the sin of copying the nine clans!

The shrill shouts of the eunuchs rang out: "Help! Hurry up and save the driver! ”

At this time, the ravages of poisonous insects became even more arrogant, but anyone who touched them fainted and lost their ability to move within three seconds.

Although the guards are strong and martial arts, they are useless in the face of this dexterous poisonous insect!

In the blink of an eye, another piece of people fell!

The shrill and hoarse shouts of the eunuchs in the courtyard pierced through the palace wall, and the rest of the palace maids and guards trembled and blocked the door of Yuwen Shihong's dormitory, trying to block those poisonous insects with their bodies!

Yuwen Shihong was finally awakened by the movement outside, turned around and jumped up to open the door, and saw the people lying on the ground outside and the rampaging poisonous insects, and his brain suddenly buzzed.

"What the hell is going on?!"

Wei Zhong came out of nowhere, and as soon as he limped, he held a torch and threw it into the open space in front of the hall, dispersing a group of poisonous insects.

"Your Majesty, these poisonous insects have suddenly gone crazy, and they are all highly poisonous things in the rivers and lakes in three steps, get out of here quickly!"

Yuwen Shihong hurriedly stepped forward to support Wei Zhong.

"Grandpa Wei!"
