"It is with the help of Gemar that we are getting more and more developed!" Ma Mu said with a hearty smile: "Especially in the past two months, I don't know how many refugees from all over Western Xinjiang have flocked to Metasequoia City. With the increase in population, our strength and prestige have also continued to increase, and there is a great momentum to affect the entire western Xinjiang. ”

Xie Tanzhi bowed slightly, and said to Li Jiangyao: "Ma Mu is right. Not only ordinary people, but recently, the royal families of various countries have also contacted us, hoping to get some degree of covert help and protection. The terms of exchange were that they supported the Zhenjiang Army and supported us in regaining the right to rule the Western Frontier. ”

"Oh? How to advocate? Li Jiangyao was very interested in this and asked: "Is it just verbal support?" ”

Xu Youchang explained: "It's not about words, it's about actual actions. As long as we open our mouths, the troops in their country's newly formed Western Xinjiang Army can be pulled over immediately and obey the dispatch of the Zhenjiang Army. ”

Li Jiangyao was overjoyed: "That's good, just give Gema a salary from the bottom of the kettle!" ”

Yudra, who was in charge of intelligence, sighed: "Alas, it's a pity that that guy Gema didn't know what luck he had, but at this time, he blessed his soul and ordered to speed up the reorganization of the Western Frontier Army." Originally, the armed forces of those countries, no matter how large or small, were independently organized, and it was very convenient to operate them covertly. But now, the Turks have suddenly disrupted the original establishment system and scattered all the soldiers and horses into four new divisions, which suddenly made it more difficult for us to rebel. ”

Li Jiangyao smiled slightly, and said confidently: "I don't think it's okay." The whole has an overall gameplay, and the scattered has a decentralized gameplay. Once the human heart is lost, no matter how much he plays with the reorganization of flowers, he can't escape from the palm of my hand! ”

Beizhao Temple has a long history, long before the establishment of the Holy Tang Dynasty, it is one of the three main altars of Maitreya, as an important mountain gate of the sect in the northern region, the reputation is far and wide, and the incense is extremely prosperous.

The number of pilgrims who came here from all over the world became more and more congregated, and it was impossible to accommodate all of them in the temple, so they built houses around Beizhao Temple as a place to stay. Later, after several wars and dynasties, Maitreya gradually disappeared in the long river of history, and Beizhao Temple naturally inevitably withered and dilapidated. However, the believers lived here for a long time, but gradually became local villagers, passed down from generation to generation, and finally formed a small town.

Because there was no place name here, the local people of Hongo used to use the name of the older generation, and the town was also called "Hokshoji Temple".

The headquarters of the Turkic Eastern Expeditionary Army was set up in the small Beizhao Temple.

The offensive and defensive battle around the imperial capital has been going on for nearly two months now. At this time, the two warring parties had long lost the fierce courage they had at the beginning, and they fell into a dull battle of stalking.

In particular, the Turks, as the attacking side, under the new tactics of Prince Chili, did not fight in large battles, and small battles continued, and the Shengtang army was consumed piecemeal by inch, so that it was always in a state of high tension and alert at any time.

The blood guard general Yun Qianxue stayed in the rear, responsible for defending the Beizhao Temple, he knew that Chi Li was planning to use the method of "wild wolves to deal with sheep", first harassing the tired opponent on the periphery, and then when the Holy Tang Army was almost collapsing, he suddenly pounced on it and killed it in one fell swoop.

This style of play, although it is damaged, is very effective, but it is not good at all, and while consuming the opponent, his own casualties are not few.

In recent days, the number of seriously injured people sent back from the front line of the imperial capital has increased significantly compared to before. Yun Qianxue judged that Prince Chili must be increasing the frequency and intensity of attacks. This also shows that the day of the general offensive is not far away.

The weather was fine today, and he took advantage of the Khan's lunch break to walk to the wounded barracks south of the town to visit one of his old friends.

As soon as she walked into the camp, Yun Qianxue was immediately shocked by the scene in front of her.

Within a radius of 100 zhang, there were Turkic warriors lying all over the place, either missing arms and legs, or dying in danger.

Amid a cry of pain, dozens of doctor-like people ran around, their hands and chests stained with blood, and the expressions on their faces were not much better than those of the wounded.

Yun Qianxue couldn't help but shake her head, and as she walked, she asked people where the person he was looking for was now.

After several tosses, under the guidance of the doctors, Yun Qianxue came to a camp tent, and before she could walk in, a thick bloody stench came to her nose.

I only heard someone in the tent sigh: "Alas, I'm afraid it won't work, the wound is very suppurated, and ordinary wound medicine can't do anything at all." ”

Another voice said, "Unless, the pus and blood in the depths of the wound can be cleaned up as soon as possible, in that case, the possibility of saving this leg will be much higher if you apply ointment." ”

As soon as the words fell, several different voices exclaimed at the same time: "Teacher, what are you doing here?!" I can't help it, I can't help it! ”

Yun Qianxue noticed something was wrong, and hurriedly walked into the account.

In the spacious tent, a badly wounded Turkic warrior was lying unconscious on a stretcher. Four or five doctors gathered around him, but their eyes fell on one of the people next to him.

The man was kneeling beside the stretcher, bent down, and used his mouth to suck up the pus and blood from the wound on the soldier's thigh. Every time he inhaled, he spat out a pool of dirty, sticky blood on the ground, repeating it many times, without the slightest hesitation or stopping.

The two young doctors next to him were so disgusted that they couldn't help but cover their mouths tightly to prevent themselves from vomiting.

After a few moments, the sticky foreign body that came out of the man's mouth gradually disappeared from the sticky foreign body before, but turned into bright red blood. He finally stopped and muttered indistinctly: "Hurry up and take the medicine, hurry!" Then, he hurriedly took a bowl of cold water handed by the person next to him, rinsed his mouth and cleaned up the stains.

Yun Qianxue saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Brother Shuxuan, you are still the same old look, desperate to save people." ”

Hearing his voice, Brother Shuxuan, who was rinsing his mouth, turned around and said happily: "Ouch, it turns out that Senior Brother is here!" You may be seated...... Oh, there's nowhere to sit in this place, sorry. ”

"How many days haven't you slept?" Yun Qianxue said lightly: "The eye circles are so dark." ”

Without waiting for Brother Shuxuan to reply, an elderly doctor next to him spoke: "General Yun, the teacher hasn't closed his eyes for three days in a row, and we all urged him to rest and rest, but he just didn't listen." ”

Ge Shuxuan shrugged his shoulders with a smile: "Hey, it's okay to sleep two nights less." In the past few days, the fighting on the front line has been tight, and the number of wounded has increased dramatically, and if we hold on for a moment and a half, we will be able to save the lives of one more people. ”

Yun Qianxue knew that she couldn't convince him, so she shook her head helplessly: "Okay, the doctor is benevolent, you just take it easy." Let's go, go out and talk. ”

Ge Shuxuan made a waiting expression, turned around to carefully inspect the wound that the soldier had been treated, and took the trouble to explain to his subordinates, then washed his hands with clean water, and followed Yun Qianxue outside.

The two walked through rows of wounded lying on the ground and headed for the camp gate. Along the way, Ge Shuxuan stopped from time to time to inquire or deal with some serious injuries, and did not see the slightest sloppiness, Yun Qianxue was also very patient, just stood by and waited quietly.

When they walked from their tents to the outside of the camp gate, they found that it had taken them half an hour.

Yun Qianxue stopped and said apologetically: "Senior brother, I'm really embarrassed. You're so busy, I'm here to bother. ”

"Senior brother is too outward." Ge Shuxuan's face was filled with a warm smile: "We are brothers, and we are all iron-blooded thirteen eagles, like brothers, you came to me, it means that you have me in your heart." Say, what can I do for my little brother? ”

Yun Qianxue shook her head, pondered for a moment, and said with a serious expression: "There's nothing to trouble you." I got it...... Just wanted to ask one thing. Are you still refining poisoners? ”

Ge Shuxuan smiled and nodded: "Well, yes." Senior brother, you know, our Ghost Dou Clan has studied the holy scriptures of Zoroastrianism for hundreds of years, and there are a large number of poison refining secret techniques, which are very useful for the imperial conquest......"

Yun Qianxue directly interrupted him: "What kind of refining method is a poisonous person?" I've heard a lot of people say that you're refining from a living person, really? ”

Looking at Yun Qianxue's solemn and serious expression, Ge Shuxuan also slowly put away his smile, he stared at the other party for a moment, and said calmly: "Senior brother, I'll take you to a place." ”

Ge Shuxuan led Yun Qianxue out of the wounded barracks, walked less than two miles away, and came to a courtyard.

This small courtyard is no different from other houses in Beizhaosi Town, the only difference is that both inside and outside the courtyard, there are Turkic army sentry posts everywhere.

With the guidance of Brother Shuxuan, the two of them entered through the door unimpeded, and went straight to the back house, and after passing through four guarded checkpoints in a row, they walked into the innermost room.

As soon as she entered the house, Yun Qianxue couldn't help but gasp.

In this dark room, there were more than a dozen huge wooden cages on the left, covered with black cloth, and some strange sounds were constantly coming from inside the cages.

On the opposite side of the large wooden cage were five sturdy wooden shelves, each of which hung something resembling a human being.

I say "similar to humans" because those human-like monsters are not normal, except for their heads, torsos, and limbs, which are similar to ordinary people.

One of them, covered in ulcers, his limbs showing white bones; One has purple skin and is covered with dense blisters; One was a miserable white body, and the blood vessels could be seen clearly, but a pair of eyes were terrifyingly blood-red.

The remaining two are diametrically opposed to each other. One was extremely puffy, like a ball of flesh, and even the eyeballs were bulging out; The other, on the other hand, was scrawny, like a skeleton.

The most terrifying thing is that these five monsters are still alive, and when they saw Ge Shuxuan coming in, they kept screaming in their mouths.

Yun Qianxue's scalp was numb, and she exclaimed, "What are these things?!" ”
