Don't look at Shukman when he was ruthless in making poison and harming people, but he himself was very greedy for life and afraid of death, in the face of Xiahou Ninghan's cold suppression, he did not hesitate for a moment, and hurriedly said that Ge Shuxuan was ordered by the Great Khan to go to the Eastern Front to fight.

Including the more than 700 poisonous soldiers he brought with him, he also talked about it without reservation.

Xiahou Ninghan's heart sank when he heard this.

As she had guessed, the terrifying monster finally appeared in full force. Even though they were only in their early seven hundred, not enough for an entire battalion, those guys were not warriors in the usual sense of the word.

Even the Turkic soldiers, who have always been known for their courage and ruthlessness, and their thirst for killing, are like gentle little white rabbits in front of the poisonous soldiers.

Xiahou Ninghan pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What kind of medicine did you use to refine the poison soldiers?" ”

Shukman hesitated slightly, and said: "Woman, I won't hide it from you, I know the name, it is a thing called soul sand, but how to prepare it is only clear to the young master himself." The Soul Sand is the supreme secret art of the Onidou Clan, and no one can master it except for the clan leader. ”

"You don't know the formula, so how can you command the subordinates outside to refine the medicine?" Xiahou Ninghan felt that the other party was not lying about this matter, but he still couldn't help but have some doubts.

Shu Keman hurriedly replied: "I do know the auxiliary materials, and the refining method has also been guided by the young master Brother Shuxuan, and it can basically be controlled, but the core medicine is personally deployed by Brother Shuxuan, and no one knows what's going on." ”

Xiahou was secretly worried. Of all the clever poisons, the core medicine is the most critical link. The inducing and increasing and decreasing of toxicity are all controlled by drug introduction, and it is not clear what the formula of drug introduction is, and the corresponding antidote cannot be developed.

It seems that if you want to completely solve the poisonous soldiers, you have to fall on Ge Shuxuan in the end.

"I ask you, what is Vidasny? How to detoxify? Xiahou Ninghan asked another important question.

Shu Keman knew that she was hit by Brother Shuxuan's poisonous smoke last night, and she was secretly wondering why it had been so long, and Xiahou Ninghan had not died yet, so she couldn't help but say, "Woman, don't you feel any discomfort?" ”

Of course, Xiahou Ninghan understood that the other party was curious about why he was safe and sound, and his hand exerted force again: "Did I ask you, or did you ask me?" ”

Shukman trembled in pain, and hurriedly said, "Ask me, ask me." Vidas is the young master's unique skill, specially used to deal with those who are strong in martial arts, it is cast in the form of poisonous smoke, whether inhaled by mouth and nose or on the skin, it will be poisoned. ”

"Where's the antidote?"

"I don't know." Shu Keman was afraid that Xiahou Ninghan would be in a hurry, so he killed him directly, and hurriedly added: "But I probably know how to solve it." ”

Xiahou Ninghan didn't answer, but just forced the cold into Shukman's meridians, and just like that, Shukman felt pain again, and cried: "The young master mentioned to me the power of Vidas Ny before, so I can vaguely guess the main formula, Grandma Woman, stop it, I'll write you the list of antidotes." ”

Xiahou Ninghan let go of his hand and commanded in a deep voice: "Not only do you have to write the recipe for Vidasny's antidote, but you also need the materials of the Soul Sand, you can write as much as you know, and you are not allowed to hide it!" ”

Schuckman agreed, got up from the ground tremblingly, found a pen and paper, and began to write.

Xiahou Ninghan stood beside her and watched carefully, and suddenly, she stretched out her hand and pointed to a name that Shukman had just written, and asked, "I know all those other drugs, what is this lead?" ”

"Is it lead?" Schuckman was stunned for a moment, and replied honestly: "It is a very rare mineral, and it is not very versatile. Blacksmiths in some places in the Western Continent are accustomed to adding lead when forging weapons, which can significantly improve the toughness of iron. But because it's poisonous, not everyone likes it. ”

Hearing this, Xiahou Ninghan bowed slightly: "You said that it is very rare, that means that there is not a lot of lead in Ge Shuxuan's hands, right?" ”

Shukman didn't expect this woman to react so quickly, and with just one or two sentences, she immediately grasped the crux of the problem.

He had suffered and did not dare to lie anymore, so he nodded and said, "That's true." The other poison materials are easy to find, but the only thing is lead, which greatly limits the number of poison soldiers. ”

Xiahou Ninghan's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand and put it on Shukman's shoulder: "How much lead do you have here?" Where did you restock in the past? ”

Shu Keman was taken aback by her movements, and hurriedly said, "There are still more than a dozen boxes left here in Beizhao Temple, and they are all piled up in the alchemy workshop. As for where to replenish the stock, the existing batch of lead is all collected and brought by us in the Western Continent, and the other ......"

He hesitated for a moment, and said with a bitter face: "In addition, I heard that there is also a lead mine in Western Xinjiang, which is the closest to here." ”

"Western Xinjiang?" Xiahou Ninghan frowned lightly: "Since it is a mine, the quantity will not be less, doesn't this solve the problem of your materials?" ”

Schuckman shook his head: "It's not as light as I thought. Now the ghost desert in the Western Xinjiang has been completely messed up, and our young master is worried about it. ”

Xiahou Ninghan was curious: "Is Western Xinjiang in chaos?" What the hell is going on? Isn't it occupied by you Turks? ”

Shu Keman looked at Xiahou Ninghan helplessly: "Woman, I don't know very well what happened over there, in short, it is very difficult to get lead from the western Xinjiang now." ”

Xiahou Ninghan smiled faintly: "Let me ask you, do you want to live?" ”

"If you want to live, ask the woman to raise her noble hand."

"That's good," Xiahou said coldly: "You destroyed the dozen or so boxes of lead, I can spare you from dying." ”

Shukman suddenly looked embarrassed: "The lead is about to become the lifeblood of the young master, and if I destroy them, I will also be unable to escape death." ”

Xiahou Ninghan's tone was very cold: "It's better to live a few more days than to die right now." If you still have a little conscience, don't do those things that hurt nature and reason! ”

Shukman knew that the beautiful woman in front of him hated the refining poison soldier to the core, so it was not just a matter of saying that he wanted to kill him, seeing that his life was difficult to protect, he hurriedly said: "Woman, do you think this is good?" As soon as the lead encounters an open flame, its own medicinal properties will be transformed, and without the cooperation of other materials, it only takes half an hour to burn, which is equivalent to being completely wasted. You knock me out first, and then go to the alchemy workshop and put a big fire, so that even if the young master asks about this matter afterwards, it won't be all blamed on my head. I swear to God that I will never hurt the innocent again, and I will only concentrate on practicing medicine, curing the sick and saving people! ”

Seeing that he didn't want to destroy the lead in person, Xiahou Ninghan didn't force it anymore, reached out and put away the prescription on the table, turned around and cut it into Shu Keman's neck, knocking him unconscious on the spot.

At this time, there are less than two hours before dawn, and if you delay it any longer, it will be easier to make mistakes. Xiahou Ninghan walked out of the room quickly and went straight to the small courtyard of the alchemy workshop not far away. She had already found out before that there was no other guard force here except for the craftsmen who were refining medicine, so she broke into the door directly and subdued everyone in the blink of an eye.

Then, she examined it inside and out, found the lead that Shukman had spoken of, and then took the combustion-supporting material from the large stove, covered it over a dozen boxes, and lit it all in one go.

Xiahou Ninghan was still not at ease, and stuffed a lot of poison and poisonous herbs directly into the furnace.

The fire burned poison, and a large amount of terrible poisonous smoke poured out in an instant, enveloping the entire courtyard and nearby houses.

In this case, even if the outlying guards found that the alchemy workshop was on fire, it would be impossible to put it out in time. When the poisonous smoke completely clears, let alone a dozen boxes of lead, the entire alchemy workshop will have to be reduced to ashes.

-

Xiahou Ninghan burned Ge Shuxuan's lair, took advantage of the chaos to leave Beizhao Temple overnight, and went northeast along the galloping road.

She must race against time, she must be ahead of Ge Shuxuan, and inform the Holy Tang army of the news that the poisonous soldiers are about to enter the battlefield, so that they can take precautions.

Although Tongguan has fallen into the hands of the enemy at present, and there is no passage document issued by the Turks, it is impossible to pass it at all, but because the situation is very urgent, taking the original road and detouring will definitely delay time, so Xiahou Ninghan chose the road from west to east, crossed the imperial capital quickly, and went straight to Tongguan.

Xiahou Ninghan calculated while hurrying on the road, she only set off a few hours later than Ge Shuxuan's troops, and both sides walked the same official road, but if Ge Shuxuan wanted to avoid the surveillance of the spies of the Holy Tang Army and avoid the secrets of the poisonous soldiers being discovered in advance, then he could only take the method of concealing and resting during the day and speeding up the march at night.

The only trouble is that Tongguan can't pass normally, and when the time comes, you can only use light power to climb over the cliff and find another path to pass.

After galloping for three days and three nights, seeing that he was about to arrive at Tongguan, Xiahou Ninghan suddenly felt that his body was a little unbearable. The acupuncture points that sealed the toxins in Ren Mai were all aching faintly, obviously because they had been desperately rushing and overworked before, and it was difficult for the internal force to suppress the poison.

Xiahou Ninghan was dizzy on the horse, and hurriedly pulled the reins, jumped off the horse, and sat on the side of the road to breathe. She knew in her heart that it was the limit to hold on until this point, and Vidasney's toxicity was about to take full effect.

In fact, when she passed by the imperial capital the day before yesterday, she hesitated to take a trip to Zhongnan Mountain and go to Taiyi Palace to find her father. The two old men, Xiahou Mei and Qingzhu Dao Chang, not only have strong internal strength, but also have a lot of knowledge, and they are also masters of Xinglin, with them, it should not be a problem to remove the poison on their bodies.

But the matter of the poisonous soldiers pressed Xiahou Ning's cold heart, and he really didn't dare to delay for a moment. One day earlier, the Holy Tang Army was notified to be on alert, and the people of the Central Plains would be safer.

However, I never expected that God seemed to be intent on making things difficult, and at this critical juncture, the toxins in the body were about to explode.
