The first group of men sent out by Gu Shenwei returned, and Long Chuanyun was a step late, and the sons of Sri Rama had already taken the high priest and the important incense medicine with them.

The disciples of the high priest were still there, and Long Chuanyun sent a part of the people to continue chasing the fugitives, and he himself brought the dozen or so teenagers back to the barracks.

But these young disciples were very frightened, they lived in the Flower Soul Forest, they didn't know the situation outside, and suddenly they were in the midst of a large group of strangers who were fierce and vicious, and they were simply distracted, and they didn't respond to anything, as if they also inhaled the incense and became the walking dead.

It wasn't until a few tribal leaders persuaded them that they slowly returned to normal and were able to speak.

No one can make an antidote, and the young disciples are still in the stage of studying ancient books, and none of them have any practical experience.

The tribal leaders who were eager to curry favor with the dragon king immediately ordered people to find a few incense makers from the city, they were all disciples trained by the high priest in the past, and the result was even worse, a total of thirty or forty people, each of whom could only make a few kinds of incense, but there was no most important Indra incense and antidote.

Indra incense is the emperor of incense medicine, which is made only by the high priest himself and the designated heir.

After going around in circles, he returned to the young disciples.

The heir to the high priesthood was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and among all the disciples, he was the only one from the noble class, handsome and the least courageous, and he was speechless in front of the dragon king.

Gu Shenwei had no choice but to let the two leaders ask alone.

The heir finally told the whole story.

Indra incense can intoxicate the whole body, be in a state of half-death and half-life, and will lose the sense of pain, even if it is stabbed by fire, it will not struggle to resist.

The annual sacrifice of the Incense Land relies on this incense medicine to keep the women who burn their bodies in flames from beginning to end, so as to increase the solemnity and sacredness of the ceremony.

Indra incense has a long-lasting effect, and according to the book, if the antidote is not taken for a long time, the victim will not wake up naturally, but will remain in a coma, and the symptoms will become more and more serious, and he will die silently after about a month.

The antidote is actually rarely used, the heir remembers the prescription, but he has never made it himself, he is willing to try it, it will take at least half a month.

Gu Shenwei's disgust for the entire country of incense is growing day by day.

The inhabitants here seem to be weak and harmless, but they are born with a kind of innocent cruelty, like children who have been pampered since childhood, regard people outside their own class as cats and dogs, without the slightest sympathy, unless they are oppressed by power, they will never take the initiative to save anyone.

After a few days, Gu Shenwei felt more and more that his judgment was very accurate.

The Daxueshan army did not enter the capital and was still stationed outside the city, and if it was possible, Gu Shenwei even wanted to completely isolate the soldiers from the local natives, but the connection could not be cut off at once.

The daily rations of the army were still supplied from the city, and the slave women, who had been forced out of the city by their masters to lure the warriors of the Great Snow Mountain, now had no orders, but they fell in love with these barbarians, who were diametrically opposed to the men of their country, and still secretly went out of the city for trysts, and there was a tendency to intensify them.

In this regard, Gu Shenwei can only turn a blind eye, arrogance is one thing, strict implementation is another, he prevents the soldiers from carving up the country of incense like robbers, and can no longer ask them to give up other benefits.

What made him unbearable were the recruits who were drafted into the army.

The total population of the country of incense is fifty or sixty thousand, and the number of men over fifteen and fifty years old is close to 10,000, and after removing the old, weak, sick and disabled and some necessary craftsmen, there are still about 6,000 left, all of whom are incorporated into the army.

In the beginning, these more than 6,000 people formed an army alone, and the swordsmen and swordsmen only sent people to train, and within a few days it turned out to be a wrong decision, and the recruits tried every means to evade the swords, and some even secretly destroyed the weapons assigned to them.

There were no iron weapons in the country of incense, and the extra weapons in the Great Snow Mountain army were not enough to equip 6,000 men, so most of the people received wooden swords and swords, which could easily be broken or burned to ashes.

Gu Shenwei had no choice but to split more than 6,000 people and add them to the Five Peaks of the Great Snow Mountain and the swordsman team, hoping that through the subtle transformation of the old soldiers, this weak nation could become stronger.

There is a certain risk in doing so, the number of old warriors is too small, and if they are assimilated by the people of the country of incense, the Great Snow Mountain will not be worth the loss.

The bigger puzzle is yet to come.

Of the more than 6,000 recruits, 12,300 were nobles, and the rest were slaves, and the former openly refused to fight alongside the latter, or even train together.

The nobles were gentle and elegant to each other, and they were in awe of the warriors of the Great Snow Mountain, but they could not sit on an equal footing with the slaves, and countless times, these men who wanted to never touch any weapons picked up wooden swords and swords and beat the slave soldiers, and the cruelty of the shot made the old soldiers who were accustomed to blood feel a little excessive.

Disputes grew, and even in the barracks, the nobles demanded that the slave soldiers serve themselves as usual, ordering them to run errands for themselves, greatly interfering with normal training.

Gu Shenwei summoned the leaders of the ten tribes and solemnly ordered them to give up all the privileges of slaves and to live on an equal footing with all soldiers.

The nobles of the land of incense can surrender without any resistance, they can give up all their wealth and all their women, but they can't bow down to their slaves.

Gu Shenwei finally appreciated the stubbornness of the weak.

Without clear reasons or compromising conditions, the clan leaders knelt down and begged, wept bitterly, and were punished voluntarily, refusing to recognize their former slaves as their comrades-in-arms.

Gu Shenwei once wanted to make an example of a hundred people, but when the clan leaders rushed to take responsibility, he understood that this trick was useless.

The nobles and slaves were separated, the former joined the swordsman team, and the latter was incorporated into the Wufeng swordsman, but the problem remained, the obedience of the slaves had become nature, and even with the support of the dragon king himself, they still secretly ran to the former master to serve and take pride in it, and anyone who did not do anything for the master for three days in a row would be despised by their companions.

Gu Shenwei wondered if his decision was wrong, the people here were not suitable to be warriors at all, it would be better to fulfill the wishes of the warriors from the beginning and turn everyone into prisoners of war and slaves.

Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl did not wake up, and Gu Shenwei had no way of knowing that he was repeating the old path of the two daughters, and had an irreconcilable split with the nobles of the country of Xiangji.

Therefore, Gu Shenwei hoped to leave the country as soon as possible, and he felt that after seeing the wider world, and after participating in one or two battles of life and death, the gap between nobles and slaves might gradually be bridged.

He devoted most of his energy to gathering grain and horses.

Tuo Nengya also returned, he searched almost every inch of land within a hundred miles, and still did not find the retreat of the old man Mu, but he brought back all the high priests and disciples in several Flower Soul Forests, and then set fire to the woodland of the evil sect to scorch.

There are ten flower soul forests, the one in the palace is empty, and there is a high priest living in the other woodland labyrinths, each with his own strengths, teaching nine specialties of incense making, medicine cultivation, disease healing, flower raising, chanting, rituals, prophecy, clothing, and martial arts.

After a cursory conversation, Gu Shenwei found that these people were obedient slaves, worshipping ancient books to the point of obsession, and for more than a hundred years, they had not explained anything, but the more they learned, the more rigid they became.

Gu Shenwei left only two high priests and a few disciples who were good at cultivating medicine and healing, and the others were all freed, or returned to the city, or joined the army.

He deliberately talked with the high priest who taught martial arts for a while, but he was as disappointed as Shangguan Ru and the lotus girl.

The high priest is like chicken ribs, it is a pity to discard it without taste, Gu Shenwei kept him in the army, the most important reason is that the high priest is paralyzed in the lower limbs, and giving him freedom is tantamount to a death sentence.

Gu Shenwei planned to have a good chat with the high priest when he had enough time, and dig out something useful from the other party's pedantic and old-fashioned brain.

Although the army is the most important and core means to defeat Jinpeng Castle, if he does not have the martial arts above the others, the Dragon King will not be able to command the swordsmen and swordsmen.

Gu Shenwei originally wanted to lead 6,000 recruits to the outside world to see what a real war is, but he didn't expect that the war would take the initiative to come to the door.

Sri Moro had seven sons, and not only did they flee with the high priest who made incense, but they also brought back a rescue army.

The scouts brought back news three days in advance that an army of about 3,000 men was marching from the northeast towards the capital.

The land of incense was not completely isolated, but the privilege of contact with the outside world was firmly in the hands of a very small number of people, including Sri Moro and his sons.

Gu Shenwei felt that this was an excellent opportunity, not only to find a way to leave the country of incense and return to the Western Regions, but also to solve the problems among the recruits.

He secretly issued an order that the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain strictly guard the slave soldiers in their headquarters and not allow anyone to come into contact with their former masters.

At the same time, the swordsmen did not take the same order, on the contrary, they vigorously spread the news of the appearance of the rebels among the noble soldiers.

As the dragon king expected, the night before the arrival of the Sri army, more than half of the noble soldiers found various excuses to return to the city, and then defected overnight to the rescuers who came from afar.

Gu Shenwei didn't send anyone to stop him, he even felt that there were too few people who escaped, and there were three or four hundred noble soldiers who stayed in the Daxue Mountain army because they were too timid.

Gu Shen wanted to fight a perfect battle, so he ordered to retreat thirty miles to the southwest, and even surrendered the capital of the country of incense.

Although the warriors carried out the dragon king's orders, they did not understand the purpose of this move.

The last of the noble soldiers also fled, and they took a large amount of gold and silver treasures and ladies from the city.

The burden has been transferred to the other party, and Gu Shenwei feels that the time is ripe to start a war.

This will be the first war in more than 100 years in the Land of Incense.
