Chapter 207
On the second day, Qiangli secretly led seventy elite soldiers and set off towards the northern border.

Two days later, the boat and car arrived at the northern border, and observed the situation of the former site of Youdu with a telescope. The miasma was so thick that it was impossible to detect the danger inside.

Qiang Li turned the binoculars to the south, and four miles away was the camp of the Zhao army.

Seeing the guards laughing and talking comfortably, Qiang Li twitched the corners of his lips on his cold cheeks and smiled silently.

The seventy elite soldiers did not bring weapons during the march, but followed Qiang Li's instructions and carried gunpowder all over their backs.

Everyone thought that Qiang Li was going to use the gunpowder to blow up the strange beasts, but they didn't know that he led them around the former site of Youdu, climbed up the steep hills in the west, and walked hard for a whole day before bypassing it. Miasma came to the top of the mountain in the east.

In the middle of the mountainside, there is a thin boundary of the mountain.

The thickness of the mountain is only one zhang (about three meters). Qiangli stood at the weakest part of the mountain, tapped it a few times with his knuckles, and immediately ordered the soldiers to pile up all the gunpowder in front of the mountain here. .

He drew a long fire letter, and after retreating seven or eight feet away from everyone, he lit the fire letter.

The flame-like Xinzi scuttled away with a sound of '呵刀', and the next moment, a deafening roar resounded through the valley, and the mountain was indeed blasted open a hole more than three feet wide and one foot long.

Youdu is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the wind is blocked by the mountains, so there is no wind all year round.

But it was such a small hole blasted by Qiang Li that the wind from outside the mountain found the notch, poured into it in an instant, and blew towards the former site of Youdu.

As the entrance of the cave is narrow, the wind becomes narrower and tighter. Although the wind volume is not large, the advantage is that it is continuous.

Standing in the wind, Qiang Li took a deep breath of the clear air outside the mountain, followed the direction of the wind and glanced at the former site of Youdu, which was haunted by miasma.

The miasma was dissipating towards the east along the east wind at an extremely slow speed, and seven li away to the east was the tent where Dazhao's [-] elite soldiers were stationed.

Qiang Li led his troops back to Diyuan City overnight, and told Jiang Mu that everything was done.

When Jiang Mubai heard Qiang Li say that Zhaodu's [-] elite soldiers would die, he actually smiled strangely.

He understood that if Zhaodu's army was wiped out like Youdu's army, and the miasma that used to be trapped in Youdu gorge, now rushed out of it and spread in all directions, with strange beasts living in it, it might float to the territory of Dazhao someday. Xuan Jue could not ignore this matter.

At this moment, he has completely forgotten how Xuanjue went to great lengths to save the people of Youdu.

He only thought with all his heart that if there was chaos in Dazhao, he would have a chance to take advantage of the chaos to annex it in one fell swoop, realize the common hegemony of the world, and at the same time, he would not need the people in Youdu to live a life of being dependent on others.

Five days later, when Chaoyang Palace was in the early court, soldiers and guards who had fled from the north trespassed into the court hall, and they cried and complained in the court hall, which completely shocked the Zhaodu court.

Miasma leaked out, strange beasts ran rampant, and the Zhao army's [-] soldiers and guards were all wiped out overnight.

The reason why he escaped back was because when the disaster happened, he was escorting the cook to fetch water from a lake and stream twenty miles away.

Since the founding of Dazhao, there have been many internal and external troubles and wars, and it is common for soldiers and guards to die or injure more than [-].

But those casualties were mostly accumulated during the long-term battle.Today, [-] elite soldiers are all wiped out in one day, so where to put them is considered a rare thing.

The miasma was well trapped in the former site of Youdu, how could it spread to the camp in the east for no reason?
Something was wrong. After asking the surviving guards in detail, they only said that two days before the incident, they heard a deafening sound from the mountain stream in the east. The wind poured in, and some gunpowder powder remained on the ground.

A good way to do it.

Besides Youdu, who else could do this?

But at this moment, it was not the time for Xuan Jue to trouble Jiang Mubai.

The miasma has left the former site of Youdu, so it might drift away somewhere.If they invaded the border city of Jokhang, [-] elite soldiers would die overnight, let alone the unarmed civilians in the city?

The matter was urgent, and all the officials expressed their opinions. For a whole day and night, Chaoyang Palace was brightly lit, and no one left.

Wu Gusi said that there are warlocks outside the world who know the art of dunjia. If they can find someone to help them, they may be able to restrain the strange beast.

The commander of the infantry has never believed in the theory of strange powers and chaotic gods. After rejecting the advice of Wu Gusi, he threatened that Xuanjue would send tens of thousands of troops with heavy armor and use powerful firearms such as artillery and muskets to slaughter the strange beasts.

In the end, Xuan Jue decided to accept the suggestions of both sides at the same time. While preparing the firearms army, he ordered people to post notices to attract strange talents.

Since the incident happened, Xuan Jue had not entered Fengluan Palace for three whole days.

Chu Jin went to Chaoyang Palace to look for him, but was stopped by Liu Qi with a serious face.She had never seen Liu Qi like this before, and Liu Qi was forced to tell the whole story.

At this moment, Xuan Jue is summoning the so-called 'talented people' who tore up the imperial list and entered the palace to have an audience.

But most of these people are swindlers, who use some tricks to cheat their eyes for a good reward.

The country is in trouble, but some people still secretly think about making money in the country.

Xuan Jue didn't give them a chance to change their ways. Anyone who reveals the emperor's list and enters the palace, if they have no real ability and play tricks, they will immediately be pushed out of the Huamen and beheaded.

As a result, charlatans who want to fish in troubled waters will not dare to enter the palace.

The two people that Xuan Jue summoned today have some skills.

One person can make fire with bare hands, and the other has the ability to fetch things from a distance.However, these abilities may seem amazing, but they are actually useless, and they are completely useless in dealing with alien beasts.

Outside the door, Chu Jin insisted on seeing Xuan Jue regardless of Liu Qi's obstruction, but the palace people blocked her all the way, but who can stop this queen?
When he opened the door and entered, Xuan Jue was just watching the last alchemist's 'magic power', his expression was ashamed, his brows were tightly frowned, he waved his hand and ordered everyone to back off.

Chu Jin walked to Xuan Jue's side, and looked at him with a calm expression, "Why did you keep it from me when such a big thing happened?"

Xuan Jue was full of sorrow in his heart, but he still squeezed out a warm smile to Chu Jin, "I'm afraid you're worried."

"If you just keep it from me, can I feel at ease?" Chu Jin took Xuan Jue's cold hand, shook it firmly, and looked at him with firm eyes, "You can't only think of me for good things. Leave me aside when you encounter difficulties. You said weal and woe together when you married me, if you only have joys and sorrows, it is a violation of your promise. Life should not be like this, and husband and wife should not be like this. "

Xuan Jue probably never dreamed that such hypocritical words would come from Chu Jin's mouth.

He shook Chu Jin's hand back, nodded with emotion in his eyes, "Jin'er, don't be so serious, you're scaring me."

Chu Jin smiled coldly, and flicked a finger on Xuan Jue's forehead, causing him to let out a low cry of pain.

"What's the matter? Are you still afraid now?"

Xuan Jue covered his head and laughed shamelessly, "I'm still afraid, but I dare not."
