On the border of Nanning, the yellow sand is full of wolf smoke.

Liu Fuan stood on the high city wall, looking at the scenery in the distance, and the cold sweat of the bean slipped down from his head one by one.

On the horizon in the distance, flags fluttered, dust and smoke flew, and countless cavalry from the Western Regions converged into a pitch-black line, whether it was to the left or right, there was no end in sight.

Liu Fuan's body trembled slightly, and the delicate handsome helmet was worn obliquely on his head, but he had no intention of straightening it, because this head could be cut off by a scimitar anytime and anywhere.

In the city behind him, all the people who could be mobilized in this battle were stationed, a total of tens of thousands of people, which seemed to be a lot. But who would have thought that these only tens of thousands of people were also hindered by the powerful ministers of the DPRK and the central government, and were replaced by the old, young, sick and disabled people who were pieced together from everywhere, and the weapons and armor were also some tattered and defective products.

Opposite them were the Iron Horsemen of the Western Regions, armed to the teeth and terrified by their vicious name. Not long ago, another sentinel came to report that the enemy camp had ushered in a reinforcement of more than 100,000 troops.

In this way, they had to face as few as 400,000 enemy troops.

Tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled to fight against hundreds of thousands of enemy elites...... It's bound to be a one-sided battle without suspense, no, not a campaign.

This will be a carnival in the Western Regions, a slaughter of ghosts crying wolves.

All of this made the defenders, who were already weak-spirited, even more stumbling into battle.

However, the oracle conveyed by the imperial court was a merciless death order-

Hold your ground, wait for reinforcements, and if you violate the order, you will be dealt with by military law!

Surrender is impossible.

On the battlefield, the strangers of the Western Regions have always treated the soldiers of the Central Plains with only four words:

Lawfully kill on sight!

Surrender is an unforgivable shame for the great warriors of the Western Regions, and their greatest hobby is to tie the surrendered soldiers firmly with ropes, and then mount their horses, raise their whips, and shout "ride" excitedly! Then, while singing war songs, they watched the screams behind them, watching how little by little, from intact bodies, to flesh and blood, and finally dragged alive.

They couldn't escape, they couldn't fall, and the yellow-skinned soldiers could only sit around the base of the wall in silence, staring blankly into the sky with their eyes.

Waiting, their own death.

Just when Liu Fuan hesitated for the 365th time whether to abandon the city and escape, he suddenly heard a weak voice behind him:

"Report to Liu Shuai, there is a letter from the rear, it is for you. ”

After the herald finished softly, he casually stuffed the bamboo tube in his hand into Liu Fuan's hand, neither bowed nor saluted, and walked downstairs slowly with his back hunched over.

He didn't care at all about whether he would anger anyone, and he would be dealt with by military law, because for those of them who haven't gone crazy yet, death is only a matter of time, and it is the same when they die.

Whose letter could it be? Liu Fuan silently opened the bamboo tube, took out the thin letter, and looked at it fixedly.

There was no signature on the envelope, except for a purple petal in the center.

Who knows, after Liu Fuan saw this petal, his eyes immediately changed, his nerves were lifted, and the whole person became refreshed.

He recognized this code, which meant that it was a letter from the concubine's mother.

As soon as he thought of that one or two Rao Wen Cun, Liu Fuan's body immediately became hot. Being able to share a bed with such a stunning beauty is definitely a luxury that every man can't ask for.

It's just that he couldn't have imagined that this stunner, which he thought only the emperor could have, would be willing to get involved with him?

But then Liu Fuan understood that there are some things that have to be paid.

And his price is to be used, to come to this ghost place where birds don't lay eggs and hold his head and be afraid!

If it weren't for the delicate voice of the concubine Niangniang in Liu Fuan's ear, there would definitely be guidance to let him retreat with his whole body, he would never come here!

These waiting, tormenting not only his body, but also his soul, Zheng Liu Fuan, who was terrified all the time, almost thought that he had been completely tricked and came here to die!

Fortunately, the old ...... Oh no, it's the concubine who opened her eyes, this terrible guide can be regarded as coming!

Liu Fuan couldn't wait to open the envelope and take out the stationery, but the content on the paper really made him feel the thunder.

The letter contained only four short words:

Fight, no retreat!

......

The six blood-drenched blades had already been thrown aside.

The peasant women were housed in a wing, surrounded by their anxious families.

It's easy to stop the bleeding, but it's even harder to detoxify.

Acupuncture, cupping, acupuncture, herbal ......

The tricks that can be used are basically used.

However, what the red-faced old demon said was true, this poison seems to be really only he can solve. At this time, most of the time of an hour had passed, and the busy abbot of Lichen still couldn't find a way to break this Gu poison.

It is really sad to see these familiar believers whose breath is getting weaker and weaker, their faces are becoming more and more pale, and their husbands and children are crying and begging loudly, but the abbot of Lichen can only be helpless on the side.

Ami ...... Buddha ......

Under a simple Buddha name, what is hidden is indescribable helplessness and sadness.

The monks of Shaolin Temple seemed to have put down their homework and set off to read the classic medicine scriptures, trying to find out what the poison in them was.

But there are thousands of poisons, not to mention the mysterious Gu poison of the Western Regions. Searching for clinical symptoms is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Little by little, the progress of the rescue has stalled.

The joy of victory was soon firmly covered by the rain of despair......

At the same time, in the quieter south wing.

Xiao?, Hu Ji, and Ke Yan all stayed quietly in the same room at this time.

"Yama Luo Sword" Ke Yan's fingers, I don't know when, were also on Xiao's pulse-

Yes, he was taking the latter's pulse, but this "patient" was sitting in a chair, while he, "Lang Zhi, was covered in bandages and ointment, lying quietly on the bed.

Of course, Xiao is not sick, and a few small wounds have been simply bandaged, and there is no major problem.

It's just that the amazing strength he has shown now has completely frightened everyone present who knows his details, including himself.

Therefore, Ke Yan was also full of surprise and curiosity, and explored the former's body by taking the pulse.

However, what made Xiao feel most uncomfortable was that both pairs of eyes were fixed on him. Especially Hu Ji, who was not seriously injured, kept pressing his palm on the ring knife on his waist, and his murderous aura was awe-inspiring.

It seems that in the next second, this seemingly honest and honest young man who is harmless to people and animals will suddenly burst out and transform into a ruthless murderous demon.

"I, two big brothers, can you ...... Don't stare at me so nervously...... I don't eat people......" Xiao scratched his head and said with a wry smile.

"The speed and strength that you have burst out today are no longer what a person of your skill should have," Hu Ji said coldly, "There have been too many strange things on the rivers and lakes in the past few years, and you can't be wrong at all." ”

"Alas, you don't still think that I have taken some evil pills, do you?" I really don't have it!" Xiao explained with a smile, "It's just that I recently practiced a book of Shunqi exercises, and I was only thinking about curing diseases, I don't know if it caused it." ”

"The poisonous cult of the crooked sect?" Ke Yan raised his eyebrows.

"No...... That's a book about the meridians, you always know the eight meridians, right? That's the practice of that!" Xiao sighed and shook his head, "Didn't I show it to you?

When Ke Yan and Hu Ji heard this, they immediately showed a strange expression, and then slowly turned their heads and focused their eyes on the tattered and green juice-stained book on the table.

Look at your grandmother's legs!

Xiao didn't lie, the tattered and unrecognizable book was the fake copy of "Taiyin Sun Nine Rubbing Wuji Gong", which was just carried close to him, but he unfortunately encountered a catastrophe in the fierce battle with the big centipede, and it had become unrecognizable.

"You, just shut up," Hu Ji rubbed the hilt of the knife in his hand, "This king only wants to know the result, whether it is good or bad, as long as you can control it and not hurt the innocent, it has nothing to do with me...... But if you're shouting so excitedly—"

He pulled out the ring knife in a threatening manner, and the harsh sound of gold and iron grinding made Xiao immediately hang his head in amusement.

Ke Yan also closed his eyes and began to examine carefully.

But soon, the expression on his face became solemn little by little.

A few cold sweats broke out of Xiao's forehead, because out of the corner of his eye, he had already glimpsed that Hu Ji's hand holding the hilt of the knife had begun to clench.

Finally, Ke Yan opened his eyes and let go of his hand, but he didn't make a sound, staring directly at Xiao Yan with an extremely complicated gaze, as if he was a stranger he met for the first time.

"How's it going?" Xiao and Hu Ji asked in unison.

Ke Yan shook his head and said, "I don't really understand the specific situation, but son, I can tell you two things for sure, both are great news for you......"

"What?" Xiao's heart tightened.

"The first thing is that the poison in your body has indeed become clean, and your current strength ......," Ke Yan smacked his lips, "at least forty years. ”

"Four...... Forty years?" Xiao and Hu Ji's eyes widened unconsciously.

"Such profound skills...... Hu Ji asked in a deep voice, "Is it really not obtained by relying on foreign objects?"

"I'm afraid it's not ......" Ke Yan shook his head with a wry smile, "I don't know what kind of shit luck this kid has taken, the internal force in his body is not only his, but also very pure, honestly, I have never seen such a pure and impurity-free true qi!"

Xiao nodded stunned, and suddenly thought of those days, when he pulled out the smelly and ugly weird poop in the pit, could it be the impurities in his body?

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime miracle," Hu Ji withdrew his hand holding the knife, "This king has also witnessed his ability to resist all poisons, but he doesn't know that he has toxins accumulated over the years, but now you and I are again, the toxins are gone, but they have a pure skill?"

"Maybe that book is really the "Taiyin Sun Nine Rubbing Wuji Gong" that should have disappeared a long time ago, right?" Ke Yan looked at the tattered and dirty book, "Originally, it was to refine impurities and prolong life, but I happened to meet Xiao, a cultivator who was covered in impurities and toxins, so by chance, he purified the toxins and turned them into internal forces?"

"Like...... Theoretically, there is indeed such a code...... "Hu Ji nodded solemnly with his eyes.

"But, why does that feeling come and go—that kind of feeling is that kind of master!" Xiao turned around and said in a jumping circle: "Just like now, I can't use the previous way of flying clouds and fog!"

Ke Yan sneered: "If such a profound internal strength is easily mastered by you, then it is almost time for us old rivers and lakes to get out of the reincarnation!"

Xiao scratched his head stupidly and smiled.

So, the three of them fell silent together.

In the end, Xiao remembered something, and continued to ask: "Then may I ask Ke Daxia, what is the second thing you want?"

"Oh, I almost forgot," Ke Yan smacked his lips again and sighed:

"If this first thing is enough to make people jealous, this second thing can make people crazy with jealousy!"

"What's it?" Xiao and Hu Ji were stunned.

"Son, you told us before, when you were practicing, you had completely refined the 'poison pill' in your body, didn't you?" Ke Yan suddenly asked.

"Yes...... yes!" Xiao nodded, "I'm ...... You can't feel any poison in the first place, huh?"

"Alas, you son, you are really a fool with a fool's luck!" Ke Yan sighed and said, "Let me tell you the truth, what you have refined is only the word 'poison', and 'Dan' has been retained in its original form!"

Xiao scratched his head, obviously didn't understand, but Hu Ji's eyes changed:

"Wait, you won't be ......"

"That's right," Ke Yan nodded with a wry smile, "This fool has a golden pill in his stomach!"

"Jin Dan?" Xiao was completely dumbfounded.

Becoming a pill in the flesh is not exclusive to ascending to immortality in cultivation.

This is a real adventure in history.

At the peak of martial arts, outside, there are three flowers gathering at the top, and inside, there is physical alchemy.

Ordinary people want to reach the realm of the inner body of the pill, there are usually two methods, one first, one later, both of which are not easy.

The latter method requires the martial artist to have some extremely advanced internal strength, and the whole body can be cultivated into the realm of transformation, so that the true qi can be gathered and refined into a pill in the body, so as to help the internal strength cultivation

The first method is to use all kinds of materials and treasures to assist in the cultivation of various precious medicinal materials when the fetus is still in the mother's womb. The success rate of this method is extremely low, but once it is successful, the children cultivated will be extremely smart and sensitive, and they are definitely the only martial arts wizards!

However, because the body of the fetus and the pregnant woman is very fragile, the drug is too strong and will be damaged, and the drug is too weak, but it will not help. You must be a doctor with extremely advanced medical skills and have the ability to do so, so you dare to try. Therefore, this technique has been lost in today's rivers and lakes.

"Now, looking at the entire Central Plains, the only person I know who can do this is the 'strange doctor' Evil Qianchen...... Ke Yan shook his head and said: "But according to him, he did succeed a few times before, but maybe it was against the Tao, none of those children survived, and all of them died." But if you want your son, it is the golden pill that you cultivated later, and I don't believe it if you kill me!"

"Perhaps, your parents are strange people with good means......" Hu Ji sighed and said.

Parents......

Xiao? I couldn't help but think of the old village chief and his words again—

You are not born from Niujia Village...... It was your parents who picked it up for adoption......

A hint of impulse to find his life story quietly rose in his heart, but it was immediately extinguished by him.

Not for others, just the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant, which was the only one that could represent his background and provide clues, had been sold by him and Qi Zehui in an unknown pawnshop of conscience......
