Mu Hua did not hide the news of his defeat, and the news reached Kyoto the next day.

"It seems that our people are still useful. Hong Aya smiled at Mu Chun and said, "As the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, now you can let Mu Hua suffer a defeat, at least you can kill his sharpness." ”

Thinking of Mu Hua's current appearance, Mu Chun stroked his palms happily and laughed, "You are still smart, but I'm afraid that Mu Hua is already anxious." ”

The army lost the battle, and it was three thousand iron cavalry that was wiped out by the whole army, and the morale of the army was much lower, from that day to now, Mu Hua still practiced his troops and horses as usual, and it seemed that he was not affected by this incident, but it was as if there was a big stone pressing on the hearts of every soldier, because they didn't know when the general would break out.

"General, why don't you order a soldier. The lieutenant generals proposed, "If the morale of the soldiers is getting lower and lower, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to our army." ”

How could Mu Hua not know this truth, his face was still pale, and he did not accept this proposal, and the adjutants had to leave the camp in frustration.

At night, everyone in the barracks had fallen asleep except for the soldiers who were guarding the barracks, "Catch the assassin!" suddenly I don't know who shouted, and the sound was particularly harsh in the silence of the barracks.

Suddenly, all the torches were concentrated in the eastern corner of the barracks, and the soldiers in their dreams were also awakened, and they raised their troops to surround the Assassins.

"I'm not an assassin, I'm not an ......," the man cried out desperately, covering his eyes, "It's me, the soldiers of the Third Battalion, you have recognized the wrong person." ”

Someone tore his hand away, and sure enough, it was a soldier of the third battalion, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and someone asked sharply, "You are not an assassin, what are you doing here sneakily in the middle of the night?"

The man was speechless, but held his hand tightly, and his head was already sweating.

"The general is here. Hearing this, everyone hurriedly made a way, Mu Hua looked at this person with a cold face, there was obvious murder in his eyes, he waited for a few days, and this person finally showed his feet.

As soon as Mu Hua waved his hand, the deputy general beside him immediately began to reorganize the army, and suddenly the horn sounded in the barracks, and all the soldiers were already lined up neatly, waiting for instructions.

Mu Hua walked up to the point of general, and the fine work had been coerced and pulled up to the point of the general platform, and at this time, everyone already knew the situation in their hearts, only to see Mu Hua looking at the fine work coldly, "Why do you want to be the lackey of the cardinal country that day." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the fine work was already at a loss on the stage, but he held his hand tightly and didn't dare to let go, looking at the trembling fine work, Mu Hua signaled to the deputy general, and the deputy general stepped forward and pulled the hand of the fine work, and a piece of paper that had been soaked in sweat fell down.

The words on this paper are a reply letter from Xizuo to Mu Chun, although most of the words have been blurred, but the content can be vaguely seen, Mu Hua was angry, he pulled out his sword and put it on Xizuo's neck, and shouted to the soldiers of the whole army: "If there are still fine works in the army, just like this person." After speaking, the sword flashed, and the head fell to the ground.

Although Baili Gorge is not far from the border, Shi Lingyan and the others are still very slow to travel on their feet alone, and seeing that it is already dark, the three of them plan to rest in the town in front.

"The small towns here are scattered, so I'm afraid I'll have to ask for directions tomorrow morning. Chu Li said, he hadn't been here for a long time, and he was already very unfamiliar with this place.

While talking, several people have come to the entrance of the town, and there is a wooden sign hanging on the tower of the town, which reads in seal: Wolf Smoke Town.

Shi Lingyan said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a border town." ”

But when the three of them walked into the town, they found that it was very strange, it was not dark tomorrow, but the town was empty, and it seemed that it had not been inhabited for a long time from the broken stalls on the side of the street and the cobwebbed beams everywhere.

"It's not going to be an empty city. Shi Lingyan frowned, "I'm afraid I'm going to be hungry again tonight......"

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Chu Li: "I once came to Wolf Smoke Town, it used to be very prosperous, why is it so dilapidated now." While speaking, a black shadow passed in front of the eyes of the three of them, Shi Lingyan was startled, and was about to catch up, but was pulled by Chu Li: "I'll go." ”

Seeing Chu Li protecting Shi Lingyan, Chu Xue's anger did not come from anywhere, but he was afraid of being blamed by Chu Li and suppressed his anger.

After a while, Chu Li led a person who was completely black over, but when he came to him, Shi Lingyan couldn't help but widen his eyes, and Chu Xue also covered his mouth and nose.

This is not a person who is completely black, but a child who has not taken a bath for too long, Rao can also see that this child is already skinny, he looked at the three of them in horror, and his body still exudes a strong stench.

"Don't kill me. The child knelt on the ground and pleaded, "I'm just going to come out and get something to eat, my grandmother is dying." But in Shi Lingyan's opinion, this child seems to have a long life.

Shi Lingyan and Chu Li glanced at each other, and the two decided to go to see the child's grandmother, but when they walked to the place, they found that this town was not without people, but all the people had moved to a corner of the city, and they all looked dying.

Chu Li was shocked, these people were already covered with scabies similar to moss, and some even had no good skin on their bodies.

"Lupus!" Chu Li exclaimed, this kind of scabies was difficult to cure and extremely contagious, he hurriedly asked Shi Lingyan and Chu Xue to leave here.

The scene just now made the three of them feel extremely heavy, and everyone was dying with ulcerated skin, "No wonder they don't want to live in the city." Chu Li sighed, and hurriedly said to Chu Xue: "How many of our five poison pills do we have?"

Chu Xue was startled, and hurriedly covered her purse: "Senior brother, this is a ......" But looking at Chu Li's eyes, she didn't say anything, and obediently took out the pills in her purse, "There are not so many people." ”

"This doesn't matter, the five poison pills have strong medicinal properties, and it is more than enough to cure this disease, put the five poison pills in hot water and boil them into a medicinal soup, and give everyone a little to drink. After Chu Li finished speaking, several people acted together, but in the time of a stick of incense, the hot water had already been boiled.

Chu Xue was a little reluctant to throw the five poison pills into the water, and the rich medicinal fragrance wafted in a moment, Shi Lingyan did not hesitate, and hurriedly dispersed the medicinal soup to the people.

Looking at Shi Lingyan's busy figure, an imperceptible sneer appeared on Chu Xue's face, and she suddenly became active and helped Shi Lingyan dispense medicine together.

The effect of the five poison pills was immediate, and the people suddenly felt that they were no longer tight, and the scabies on their bodies were not itchy.

"The poison in your body has been cured. Chu Li smiled and comforted the people, everyone knelt on the ground to thank them, although they were busy all night, but to save so many people, Shi Lingyan only felt a sense of accomplishment.

Chu Xue smiled and brought a bowl of water: "Miss Shi, you worked hard just now, drink some water." She had a friendly smile on her face.

Shi Lingyan took the water, and there was a moment of hesitation in her heart, but she still took a small sip.
