Ye Yuanzhou confirmed that there would be no one ambushing here, so he took out a fire fold from his arms, and as the fire lit up, the two of them finally saw everything around them clearly.

This underground chamber was not very large, only the size of a firewood room, and in this chamber there were six wooden beds, one of which was empty, and the other five beds were all lying on a woman.

The five women looked lifeless, completely unconscious, their hair and skin were white, and there was an obvious knife on the wrist hanging next to the bed, and there was still blood slowly oozing out from the knife, gathering together, and meandering down the drooping wrist, like a small scarlet snake entrenched on the wrist.

It's just that these women are slightly different from Miss Shi's, except that their blood is not so bright and red, except that the color is darker and muddy, with a bit of fishy smell, their hair is not as white as snow, and their skin has not become a white paper-like texture.

Du Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to check it, and found that the lower abdomen of the five people was the same as Miss Shi's, all slightly bulging and swollen, and it should be a symptom of pancreatic enlargement.

Pulling up the other arm that had not been cut off, and barely checking the pulse, Du Ruo could hardly feel any of their pulses, looking at this situation, it should have reached the point of powerlessness.

"These five should have been simmered through the herbs, so they were locked up here to bleed and refine Hongyanlu." Du Ruo checked all five people without giving up, and after making sure that none of them could be saved, he shook his head at Ye Yuanzhou, "It is estimated that there are more than five girls who have been kidnapped, and you see that there are six wooden beds here."

So the other women who hadn't been simmered were obviously locked up somewhere else, either in more than one secret room, or in a private prison somewhere else. ”

"What did they use to make people look like they were not human and ghostly?" Ye Yuanzhou was already shocked when he saw a young lady of the Shi family, but now when he saw the five white-haired women in front of him who had not even left a trace of anger, he only felt that a fire kept coming out in his heart.

"Before I was called to the Governor's Mansion today, I had been checking books in the study, which was a small gain, but I haven't had time to tell you yet." Du Ruo then remembered that he hadn't told Ye Yuanzhou about the harvest of searching for medical books and pharmacopoeias, "I think, I probably know what caused this." ”

Ye Yuanzhou had never seen such a strange thing, so he had always been puzzled, and when he heard that Du Ruo already had an answer, he hurriedly looked at her.

"In a notebook left by my grandfather, there is a very rare herb that can only be found in the territory of the barbarians, and has never been seen in the Central Plains.

According to my grandfather's records, it was bright red and resembled a ruby when it grew in the ground, but it was difficult for ordinary people to find it because it was only found on cliffs or in the deep mountains and forests infested by fierce beasts.

This kind of thing is called 'Hahan Senji' on the side of the barbarians. ”

"Hahan Senji?" Although Ye Yuanzhou also had a head-to-head confrontation with barbarians when he was in the army, he didn't know much about barbarian language, and now he only thinks that this name sounds weird and weird.

"Yes, Hahan Senji, according to my grandfather's account, the name means very rare blood-red flower in the barbarian language." Du Ruo nodded, "According to legend, although this thing is beautiful and rare, it is highly poisonous, even the experienced witch doctors in the barbarian clan only know this red flower, but they have never used it."

According to legend, this thing can be used to refine medicine people, and the medicine people who are refined into medicine can also be used as medicine, poison, and even used to raise Gu.

But this was originally just my grandfather's hearsay, and he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he could not confirm it. ”

"Now it seems that your grandfather's hearsay is still relatively accurate," Ye Yuanzhou's gaze swept over the few women who were so pale that they didn't look like people and were almost dead, "These few in front of you, plus the Miss Shi family who was discovered before and the woman from earlier, aren't they the medicine people who were refined with that Haihan Senji!" ”

He clenched his fists in both hands, anger in his heart.

When he killed the enemy in front of the battle before, he didn't feel much touched because he took the other party's life, after all, people in the army are on a mission, each is his master, and he is desperate to live up to the emperor's order, which is what should be shared.

All those who follow the Rong should have such an awareness from the moment they receive their military salaries.

But these women are different, they are just ordinary people, powerless, living their own small lives in a corner of peace.

Some may also covet the pill to give them unprecedented beauty, and exchange it for the glory and wealth of the second half of their lives, but more of them are kidnapped without knowing it, simmered into medicine people, and after being asked for their lives, they will use their blood to do bad things.

This kind of sacrificial behavior of innocent people made Ye Yuanzhou intolerable and angry.

"Now it seems that this is not a place where the opposing forces are entrenched, but just a place to deal with the medicine people who have been simmered." Du Ruo frowned and thought for a while, "Before the next batch of medicine people is delivered, I don't know if anyone will show up."

It's just that I don't know if this magic stick ambushed us now, deliberately half-truths and half-truths and didn't tell the whole truth, or if we still alarmed some people lurking in the dark in the process, so their people ran away before we arrived.

Qianlixiang Teahouse and the abducted woman are inseparable, and this line must be stared at to death.

The god stick said before that he should wait for the mysterious guest who sent the Qi and Blood Pill in two or three days, and look at his appearance when he had a seizure, this should be true, so there must be someone on the side of the medical hall.

It's not as good as this, Pingcheng County, both inside and outside the county, will be handed over to you, and the medical hall needs to be still, waiting for the rabbit, and can't make too much movement, just leave it to me, and you can lend me two helpers. ”

Ye Yuanzhou felt that with Du Ruo's skills, it was not safe to guard the medical hall alone, but she was also reasonable, Pingcheng County needed more manpower here, and he couldn't take it off by himself, and the medical hall needed to make outsiders not notice anything unusual, and it would not be appropriate to bring a team of people over by himself.

"Okay, I'll let Ye Long and Ye Hu follow you." He has always been decisive in his work, and he made a decision after quick consideration.

For this arrangement, Du Ruo naturally accepted it gladly, she was just a lot of courage, which did not mean that she did not take her life and safety seriously.

Originally, she was guarding the arrangement of the medical hall, and she was also quietly beating the drum in her heart, but now that Ye Yuanzhou sent the most powerful pair of personal guards around him to herself, it was naturally more secure than casually arranging others to follow.

Especially Ye Long and Ye Hu, these two brothers were born with a strong and powerful force, angry eyes, pretending to be the protector of the divine stick, just looking at it makes people feel credible!
