Uncle, stay safe

Chapter 222

Sure enough, the East Temple moved the army to the border gate to station on the second day after Zhuge Zhao evacuated Yancheng. There were hundreds of military tents, countless soldiers, a large amount of food and grass brought in, and spies running around the border without any scruples. Yancheng was extremely nervous, there was constant turmoil here, and war was imminent.

There has been no war in Daqi for nearly a hundred years. This time the war is about to start, and the situation at the border is tense, but it is limited to the border. It seems that the tense situation at the border has not been felt elsewhere. The imperial capital has never sent troops. It seems that Yancheng has long been He gave up the support of the imperial court and guarded the border with the heart of death. He didn't know what Zhuge Zhao said when he left, and he didn't know what happened to the imperial capital.

Xi Yanyi also didn't care about what happened to the imperial capital, those people could do whatever they wanted, and the common people didn't care about the border wars, so why should she care about them.

For a hundred days, more than a dozen of them wandered in the deep mountains, all of them were tired and sweating profusely, but they all felt extremely happy. The "Tiankeng Plague" is a relatively famous method of Jinyiying to deal with the enemy. The tactic is the masterpiece of Xu Weng, nicknamed "Poisonous Man", an old senior of the Golden Clothes Camp. He once dealt with the well-known Green Forest Bandit organization in the Jianghu, and succeeded once, although the number of Green Forest Bandits was not as large as that of the Dongci Army , but this thing is absolutely harmful, it is Xu Weng's most proud masterpiece, although it is looked down upon by some people who look down on insidious tricks, but Xi Yanyi thinks it is very advanced, it is simply the best!
The most important thing in the "Tiankeng Plague" is the primrose, a specialty of Daqi. It has a nice name, but it is an indispensable medicine in the preparation of many poisons. But if it is mixed with the snake juice refined by Xu Weng, it will be invincible up.

In the deep mountains, Xi Yanyi's forehead was covered with sweat, and the forest was not ventilated at all, coupled with the constant movement, resulting in sweat all over her body. Mu Xiaozhuang was not far from her, with a big basket full of ground on her back. Primrose, the purple branches and leaves look very bright, and some of them have lilac flowers. People who don’t know it will definitely be attracted by its color, but if you know that every poison will be more toxic as long as it is involved. Strong, presumably no one would dare to approach it again.

"My lord, don't the primroses have to be served with snake juice? Did you bring them?" Those things have always been kept by Jiumen. Mu Xiaozhuang has been working under Jiumen Zou Zhao for so long. They didn't know where those things were stored, and when Xi Yanyi got them.

Xi Yanyi raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, and at the same time raised his hand and threw the picked primroses into the basket on Mu Xiaozhuang's back, "Nonsense, there is no snake juice, why should I ask you to pick primroses? "

Mu Xiaozhuang grinned, "I really want to see the power of the 'Tiankeng Trap'. I heard that Xu Weng used it to deal with the bandits with all the weapons and horses, but it was a one-time success. We will never have the chance to see it later." Here, I hope I can see it this time!" Mu Xiaozhuang was so excited that he heard that at that time, in just a moment, the group of thousands of green forest thieves fell down with their mounts, and the Golden Clothes Camp did not waste any Strength, prestige to the extreme.Every time Mu Xiaozhuang heard about this, he wished he could be born a few years earlier, and really wanted to participate.

Xi Yanyi glanced at him sideways, and snorted coldly, "Don't get your hopes up too much, we can't be as arrogant as our predecessors, and make thousands of troops lie down in an instant. There are too many of them, and we have little strength. There are too few synthetic drugs, they can only reduce their vigor."

Mu Xiaozhuang smacked his lips, "Really? Can't see the scene where they get down instantly? It's a pity!"

Everything was ready, and then the tiankeng was prepared. When the night fell, a dozen people dispatched again. At 2000 meters outside the moat of Yancheng, a dozen people worked in the dark, digging the ground for a while, like mice, in just one night. Time, from the edge of the forest to the south, at a distance of nearly a few kilometers, a long ditch half a meter deep was dug.

After a night of fighting, everyone was so tired that they sat slumped in a circle in the woods, their white brocade boots and their clean white clothes were so dirty that it was the first time a member of the Golden Clothes Camp had done such a thing.

"My lord, can this month's salary be increased? We are all desperate, if we don't increase the salary, we will lose a lot!" Xiaosan nestled under a tree root full of leaves, already thin and small , deliberately nestled into a ball like a chick that accidentally fell from the nest.

Xi Yan was leaning under the tree, and she had no strength in her body, except for the time she was in a panic in Xucheng, this was the first time she looked like a beggar, covered in mud, and her face was covered in dust, squinting to increase her salary Xiaosan, "Wait until you go back and talk to the emperor yourself. It's not me who pays you, so what's the use of talking to me?"

"Here, the relationship between the prince and the emperor is unusual. If we don't tell the prince, who else can we talk to?" Xiaosan muttered, thinking that Xi Yanyi had this ability.

Xi Yanyi immediately raised his hand and made a stop gesture, "I don't have the ability now. I can ask the emperor for money. I don't know if I can go back alive, money? If you die for the country, your family can get it." A large pension!" Xi Yanyi looked at the sky speechlessly, if she died, she didn't know who would get the pension.

Xiaosan and the others all looked at Xi Yanyi with dissatisfaction on their faces, how frustrated they were when they said this.

"My lord, have you opened your mouth?" Xiao Fei was dissatisfied, he hasn't lived enough yet, what is dead or not, it sounds really awkward.

Xi Yanyi snorted lazily, "I want to consecrate, so I can just call Dongci Temple dead, why bother digging ditches here, everyone is exhausted like this!"

Everyone is speechless, they have to do it, otherwise no one will dig ditches when they have nothing to do.

The day passed in a hurry, and there was no sound from the Dongci military camp. On the contrary, Yancheng was very nervous. Xiao Fei went to investigate, but most of the people in the city had already left, and now no one is allowed to enter Yancheng, and the nearby cities are also very nervous. But there was no news of the imperial court sending troops. Everyone really didn't know what happened to the imperial capital.

Xi Yanyi and Tie Feng planned to go to the Dongci Military Camp once to see how many people they had, how much food and grass they had, and if possible, do some 'good deeds' first.

The night is coming again, in this tense border, it seems that time flies very fast.
