Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

Chapter 763 932: Yue Puzi

Wanyan Xiaji, almost naked, died on the street, his eyes wide open and red, with a bloody hole on his chest and a mess of flesh and blood.

"General."

The warrior at the supernatural power realm who was fighting with Nalan Yiren, as well as two fourth-rank generals, changed their expressions drastically and approached Wanyan Xiaji, wanting to check on his condition.

"Pfft."

But at this moment, two fourth-rank generals spat out blood, fell to one knee, and supported themselves on the ground with knives.

Even the warrior in the supernatural power realm turned pale, feeling the disorder of the breath in his body, he quickly raised his hand and pressed several acupuncture points on his chest.

At that moment, Nalan Yiren's figure rushed over and slapped him on the chest. The face of this warrior in the supernatural power realm suddenly turned red, and a mouthful of blood rushed up to his throat, but he held it back and did not spit it out.

Under the force of the palm, the warrior in the supernatural realm retreated several steps, and finally knelt on one knee. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and said coldly: "Poison?! Despicable!"

After saying that, he hurriedly used his Qi to force the poison out, but heard the other party's unique smoky voice: "I advise you not to use your Qi. The more you use your Qi, the faster the toxins that have invaded your body will spread throughout your body along with your Qi and blood until they rush into your heart meridians. There is no cure."

"As for being despicable, you grown men are treating a weak woman like me like that, and you still have the nerve to call it despicable."

"You poof"

The warrior in the supernatural power realm was so angry that he spat out blood and his face turned pale.

You call yourself a weak woman?

"Your general is dead, why don't you quickly lay down your weapons and surrender!"

Chen Mo cut off Wanyan Xiaji's head, held it in his hand, swept his weapons around, looked at the Jinxia soldiers who were retreating in panic as his gaze swept over them, and spoke loudly.

Although the outcome of this battle is no longer in doubt.

But there are still many Jinxia soldiers in the city. If we kill them all, our casualties will increase.

Therefore, if they could surrender, it would be the best outcome.

"Drop your weapons and surrender!"

The Wei army also pressed them together.

The Jinxia soldiers showed panic on their faces. They glanced at Wanyan Xiaji's head held in Chen Mo's hand, and finally shifted their gaze to the third-grade warrior.

They are not a mob. As generals under Wanyan Xiaji, they are very disciplined.

Seeing this, Chen Mo came to the third-rank warrior with a knife in one hand and Wanyan Xiaji's head in the other, and said, "Will you surrender? If you surrender, I promise you in the name of the Emperor of Wei that you will be given a high position, generous salary, and endless wealth and honor."

In response to Chen Mo, he snorted coldly and said, "I'll surrender you. Tsk."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Mo chopped off his head with a knife, and blood splattered everywhere.

Then he came to the two fourth-rank generals and said to the one on the left: "Will you surrender?"

"I surrender."

Just as the man was about to swear, Chen Mo chopped off his head with a knife.

"What about you?" Chen Mo asked the remaining fourth-rank general.

"Gulu."

The remaining man swallowed his saliva and looked at Chen Mo with fear in his eyes. It was simply too scary. He chopped him to death without even waiting for someone to finish his words.

He was so frightened that he dared not hesitate, and hurriedly said: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender"

Chen Mo removed the bloody knife from the man's face, and then turned to the group of Jinxia soldiers who were still hesitating, and said in a voice as cold as a judge in hell: "What about you?"

"Pounds."

They threw away their weapons, squatted down and held their heads.

The generals above are all dead, and some have surrendered, so why are they still resisting?

Chen Mo's brows relaxed a little, and he asked Sun Meng, Zhao Liang and others to take over Jin Shuangcheng.

Then, he turned to look at the surrendered general and said, "What is your name, what position do you hold, and what realm are you in? Tell me the truth."

"Little Zuo Nian, where do you live..." Zuo Nian didn't dare to hide anything. He not only told Chen Mo what he asked, but also what Chen Mo didn't ask, and even reported his home address.

In order to save his life, he also said: "The commander of Leping County is my cousin, Da... If Your Majesty trusts me, I can help Your Majesty take Leping County."

Chen Mo glanced at Zuo Nian with a hint of surprise.

Leping County is the closest county to Jinshuang City. If Chen Mo wants to attack the capital of Jinxia, this is also a must-pass place.

"Yes, you are more sensible than them." Chen Mo threw away the knife in his hand, squatted down and patted Zuo Nian's shoulder, but the latter was so scared that he instinctively dodged.

Chen Mo smiled and looked at Nalan Yiren: "He was poisoned, is there an antidote?"

"give him."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zuo Nian quickly kowtowed to Chen Mo.

Nalanyi gave him the antidote.

Zuo Nian took the antidote and swallowed it quickly. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Nalan Yiren's voice rang in his ear:

"This is just one of the antidotes. You have to swallow three in a row to eliminate the poison in your body. If you don't swallow the rest of the antidote within three days, the poison in your body will attack again. Of course, you may think that what I said is alarmist."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Nian's face turned pale again with fright, and he looked at Chen Mo with an aggrieved and frightened expression.

"Talking is useless. I need to see your sincerity. If you can help me take over Leping County, I will let her give you the remaining antidote." Chen Mo said.

In fact, Chen Mo could have taken over Leping County without Zuo Nian's help, but it would be a waste not to use this lackey who came to his doorstep. It would also be a good opportunity to test whether he is up to any tricks.

“Thank you, Your Majesty. I will obey your orders and help you take over Leping County.” Zuo Nian said.

"Among these people, there should be some of your troops."

Chen Mo pointed at the surrendered soldiers who were kneeling down and said.

Zuo Nian nodded.

"Then take your troops and take over Leping County." Chen Mo said.

"Ah?" Zuo Nian was shocked.

"Why, were you lying to me just now?"

"Don't dare."

Zuo Nian said quickly.

What surprised him was that Chen Mo asked him to take his own men to take over Leping County. Wasn't he afraid that he would run away with his men?

Or maybe the other party is not afraid that he will run away.

He thought about the poison in his body.

"I know what you are thinking. With so many people here seeing you surrender to me, I just need to let a few of them escape and then tell your Khan about this." Chen Mo whispered in Zuo Nian's ear, stopping at that.

Hearing this, Zuo Nian was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.

By then, even if he had a hundred thousand mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

"I will definitely not let your majesty down." Zuo Nian promised in a trembling voice. Chen Mo frowned, moved away from him, and then
He went downstairs to clean up the mess first and was so scared that he peed his pants.

"Do you believe him now?" Nalan Yiren frowned.

"He's just a bigger trash. It's okay if he runs away. If I really let him take action and help me take over Leping County, it means that this man is useful and can help me in Jinxia." Chen Mo is not afraid of him running away. He will not dare to run away if he leaves him alone.

"By the way, Yiren, you just said that his hidden energy and blood were stimulated by the medicine, what does that mean?" Chen Mo remembered what Nalan Yiren said to him when Wanyan Xiaji's strength skyrocketed.

"It means exactly what it says. There is a kind of medicine that can forcibly stimulate the latent Qi and blood in the body. It is a bit like giving a person whose spiritual energy is almost exhausted, forcing the spiritual energy in the flesh and blood to maintain the body's functions to burst out. This is generally used in life-and-death situations. When the spiritual energy in the flesh and blood is exhausted, the body will be seriously overdrawn, and this kind of overdraft cannot be replenished at all because it hurts the root.

That is to say, after he uses it up, his martial arts path will not only stop here, but his realm will also fall year by year. Moreover, the medicinal materials for this medicine are very rare, even my Poison King Valley can't get them together, I didn't expect that he could actually refine it. "Nalan Yiren was a little surprised.

"Just now I seemed to hear him say that it was some real person's elixir. Obviously it was not made by him, but someone helped him make it." Chen Mo thought of something.

"But he is dead now." Nalan Yiren felt that Chen Mo was too hasty in killing.

"It's okay. Once we reach their capital, we'll know everything."

Speaking of this, Chen Mo remembered that there were some things he hadn't asked Zuo Nian.

But at this moment, Sun Meng brought him good news.

"Your Majesty, I have caught the culprit of the plague, and Jin Xia's bomb was also copied by him."

Sun Meng came to Chen Mo with an excited look on his face. His face flushed with excitement. He obviously felt that this person was of great value and could be used to seek credit.

After saying that, Sun Meng waved his hand, and two guards brought up a man wearing a Taoist robe, with messy hair and a red and swollen face.

"Your Majesty, according to the surrendered soldiers who protected him, this man's name is Yue Puzi, Wanyan Xiaji calls him the True Man and values him very much."

As he spoke, Sun Meng saw that Yue Puzi was brought in front of Chen Mo and still refused to kneel down, so he kicked him on the leg, forcing him to kneel down in front of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren looked at each other.

Chen Mo raised his eyebrows. He had promised Nalan Yiren at that time that he would give it to her after he found the person who studied the plague.

I didn't expect to find the person so soon.

"Master? Did you make the medicine that Wanyan Xiaji took to stimulate his latent Qi and blood?" Chen Mo asked Yue Puzi.

"Your Majesty is asking you a question. Don't play dumb. Answer honestly." Seeing Yue Puzi standing there in a daze without saying anything, Sun Meng immediately scolded him.

Chen Mo waved his hand and asked him why his face was so swollen.

Sun Meng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, we caught him in the Stone Throwing Camp in the city. He was being stung by a poisonous bee."

Chen Mo nodded and asked Nalan Yiren: "Is there anything to reduce the swelling?"

"It needs to be adjusted temporarily." Nalan Yiren said.

Hearing this, Chen Mo thought for a moment, and immediately gave the order: "Sun Meng, take him down to rest first, change him into clean clothes, and bring him to see me when he is in a better mental state."

Chen Mo saw that Yue Puzi didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid, but seemed to be really scared.

"promise."

When Sun Meng took Yue Puzi away, the latter's eyes were fixed on Wanyan Xiaji's head, which had been drained of blood.

Chen Mo did not give Zuo Nian too much time to think. After he had packed up, he urged him to take his troops to Leping County.

Zuo Nian really did not disappoint him. Just one day later, Zuo Nian took over Leping County without any bloodshed.

Chen Mo didn't ask him how he did it, he didn't care about the process.

But we can think of only a few situations.

Since the garrison commander of Leping County is Zuo Nian's cousin, and Zuo Nian still speaks with full confidence, it shows that their relationship is very good, or their interests are very deeply bound together, the kind of people who prosper together and suffer together.

Zuo Nian has reached this point.

Even if his cousin put up a stubborn resistance and returned to the capital, he would not end up well.

And the fact is just as Chen Mo thought.

When Chen Mo learned the news, he was meeting Yue Puzi.

Yue Puzi's ancestors were not from Jinxia, but from Song.

More than three hundred years ago, my ancestor committed a crime and in order to avoid being punished by the Song Dynasty court, he fled to Jinxia with his family and settled down there.

Yue Puren has loved studying all kinds of strange things since he was a child. He is quite talented in this area and has achieved some results.

When he was thirteen years old, he became a disciple of a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple. From him, he learned how to make elixirs and identify medicines, and he surpassed his teacher.

When he was 25 years old, when he followed his master to make elixirs for Wanyan Xiaji, he was appreciated by Wanyan Xiaji and became one of Wanyan Xiaji's many followers.

The plague that hit Jinxia was caused by a small-scale cholera outbreak in Gaoliao when Jinxia attacked Gaoliao, and the Jinxia army was also infected at that time.

So Wanyan Xiaji sent Yue Puzi to control cholera.

Yue Puzi was also very capable. Not only did he cure cholera, but he also developed a highly contagious poison based on cholera.

When he was researching this poison, he didn't want to harm anyone, but he found it very challenging, or maybe it was just his personality that made him like researching this kind of thing.

After the results came out, he was very happy and told Wanyan Xiaji.

Wanyan Xiaji thought this thing was useful at the time, so he kept it.

Until some time ago, in order to slow down the development of Wei, Wei merchants bought cattle and sheep in Jinxia and spread the poison to the cattle and sheep, which further led to the outbreak of plague in Youzhou.

Yue Puren told Chen Mo that he did dissuade Wanyan Xiaji at that time.

It can be said that Yue Puzi wanted to survive.

He also explained that he was just a researcher, not an executor.

If you still want to argue that the knife killed someone, you should look for the person who used the knife to kill someone, not the blacksmith who made the knife.

As for whether it was true or not, Chen Mo had no way of knowing.

After all, Wanyan Xiaji is dead.

However, Chen Mo could consider sparing his life.

He has a use for himself.

Judging from his ability to imitate explosives.

He has a talent for it.

Maybe he could help himself increase the power of black powder again.

Besides this, he was also useful to the Naranyi people.

And Chen Mo is a very realistic person.

……

Chen Mo got a lot of useful information from Jin Shuangcheng’s great victory.

So shortly after Zuo Nian captured Leping County, Chen Mo ordered Chang En, who was staying in Gansha City, to lead his troops to join him.
