"Everything in the world is poisonous. I believe there is always a way to detoxify it."
Long Chen smiled and answered like this.
The empress nodded slightly and said, "That's good, as long as there is a way."
The empress was unsure and panicked, so she came here just to get a definite answer from Long Chen.
The empress felt relieved that Long Chen could be so confident.
"Rest."
The empress stood up and left. Long Chen wanted to persuade her to stay, but she had already left.
Just after falling asleep, the tent was opened and Di Luoxi got in.
"What are you doing?"
"Nonsense, I'm cold, hurry up!"
Long Chen turned over and heated Di Luoxi.
the next day.
Hundreds of thousands of troops slowly set off, with the elite soldiers at the front, followed by the logistics troops.
When setting off, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi led another small team to the southeast, accompanied by Tu Zhi and five thousand elite barbarian soldiers.
"When you arrive at Yanmen Pass, you must explain it carefully and stabilize the morale of the army."
The empress gave special orders.
The empress will sit in Yuncheng and stabilize the elite soldiers in the city. Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi will be responsible for stabilizing Yanmen Pass.
"Chanyu must stabilize your tribe and make sure nothing happens, otherwise the grassland will become a ghost."
Tu Zhi went to Yanmen Pass together, because most of the barbarians were at Yanmen Pass, and he, the Chanyu, was needed to come forward.
Ordinary barbarians can be released and return to the grassland to graze, but the barbarians who have turned into half-ghost bodies must stay at Yanmen Pass.
Tu Zhi bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to give any more instructions. I know how powerful it is. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will persevere until King Wu returns."
The empress nodded slightly, and Di Luoxi and his party slowly headed southeast.
.
To the south, Rhinoceros City.
Xiaoqin was directing his men to move the rotting corpses out and burn them. Everyone was wearing leather clothes, and the strong smell of alcohol filled the air.
Ahem.
Xiaoqin coughed twice, I don’t know I wonder if it's because the smell of alcohol is too strong or the smell of corpse is too strong.
"Hey, it can't be cured at all."
Xiaoqin shook her head helplessly.
These soldiers were all retired from the front line, and Xiaoqin was responsible for their treatment.
It is said to be treatment, but in fact it all depends on luck. If you are lucky, you can survive, but if you are unlucky, you will just wait to die.
Coming out of the ward, the female doctor sprayed liquor all over Xiaoqin's body, then slowly took off her leather jacket and put on a light gauze gown.
"Phew. I almost suffocated to death."
Xiaoqin really wanted to jump into the lake and take a dip to relieve the stuffy feeling.
"Xiaoqin."
A man walked in, this man was Tian Liang.
He defected to Long Chen before, but later followed Wu Jian and pretended to be dead to Zhennan City.
When Wu Jian left, Tian Liang had already married a woman from the Long Gang, so he stayed and became Ji Xianxian's logistics manager.
Tian Liang was able to do things well, and Ji Xianxian relied on him very much.
"Manager Tian, have you run out of medicine?"
Xiaoqin sighed helplessly.
Tian Liang smiled and said: "Yes, the medicine has been used up, and the sulfur purchased last time, and the saltpeter is almost used up."
"I need to purchase some grease this time. The formula and process for high explosives from Linglong Pavilion have arrived. I want to try making them."
"King Wu is truly a god, and he can actually come up with such a terrifying weapon."
People from the Dragon Gang infiltrated Linglong Pavilion and obtained the formula for high explosives, and Tian Liang planned to follow the same method.
Xiaoqin snorted coldly: "Isn't that right? The big pervert is very powerful. He knows everything, especially lust."
Tian Liang smiled and said nothing, he never intervened in such topics.
"There is another good news, the news just sent."
"Is the battle in the north over?"
Xiaoqin guessed it immediately, Tian Liang smiled
Said: "That's right! The exact news I just found out from Jinling is that the ghost tribe has been defeated, King Wu has won, and is returning to the court with his troops."
Xiaoqin almost jumped up and danced: "Quick, go and catch the big pervert!"
As long as Long Chen comes to help, it will be easy to pacify those southern barbarians.
Tian Liang smiled bitterly and said: "Xiaoqin, you are making things difficult for me. I am just a general manager. How can I invite King Wu?"
"If you want to invite King Wu, the gang leader needs to go in person."
Xiaoqin scratched her head and ears, wishing she could catch Long Chen immediately.
"No, no, we have to find a way to tie up the big pervert. My wife is still on the front line, how about I do it?"
Long Chen is lustful, and Xiaoqin plans to use a beauty trap to seduce him.
But you can't leave here.
The more Xiaoqin thought about it, the more irritated she became.
"General Qin, good news from the princess."
A female soldier ran over happily with a letter in her hand.
Xiaoqin reached out to take it, and after opening it, she said happily: "Mr. Tian, you have done a great job. Your batch of thunder and fire has played a big role. My wife used the thunder and fire to kill Zhaoren General Juele."
Tian Liang was overjoyed and said: "It's great that we actually killed Juele! This Juele has repeatedly ruined our affairs. With him dead, I can march smoothly."
Xiaoqin suddenly felt that she could win the war without Long Chen, so it was better to take things slow with Long Chen.
"Okay, you go and collect the money, and then purchase some things from Jinling. With the Central Plains at our back, we have all the resources we need. The Dragon Gang is still making money continuously."
Xiaoqin feels that there is no need to worry, the logistics and military resources are all available, and they can afford it.
Tian Liang sighed: "Yes, we have a large rear area. After King Wu finishes the war, food and weapons will be cheaper in the future."
The supplies in the Central Plains are limited, so priority is given to supplying the north for fighting, and more money is spent on purchasing grain.
Now that the war in the north is over, the merchants who produce ordnance need to sell the weapons in their hands, and they can only sell them to the south.< br>
Therefore, Tianliang is expected to drop in price.
"Well, that makes sense, go ahead."
Xiaoqin was in a good mood and went back to her room to rest while humming a song.
.
Zhennancheng.
This place belongs to Dazhou's important border town in the south, and to the south it belongs to Ji Xianxian's territory. The defenders are the original Daliang soldiers, as well as Dazhou soldiers. The defender is a native of the capital, named He Mengqing.
There was a constant flow of businessmen and travelers under the city, and soldiers at the city gate carefully checked the passers-by.
Only people from the Central Plains can enter the city, and no Nanbarians are allowed to enter.
This is the latest regulation to prevent poisonous poison from flowing into the city and spreading to the Central Plains.
In the past, people from Xicheng would pass by here to purchase goods in Jinling.
After the ban is implemented, the Dragon Gang's supplies can only be transferred within the city, and personnel are not allowed to move.
He Mengqing looked at the crowds queuing up outside the city to enter the city, and thought to herself: The Dragon Gang is really annoying. They have been unable to defeat the Southern Barbarians for so long. It's really annoying to stay here.
After watching for a while, He Mengqing returned to the room. He had just taken a concubine into his room. The concubine was very cute, and his mind was swaying just thinking about it.
Outside the city, a carriage arrived at the door, and soldiers came over to inspect it carefully.
"For what?"
"Master Jun, I am selling medicinal materials. This medicine is collected from the mountains. Take a look."
A man in his forties with a strong build quietly stuffed a piece of silver over him.
The soldier took the answer and deliberately shouted: "You can't do business with Zhao people, you know?"
The man smiled and said: "I know, how dare you, I remember it all, thank you, Master Jun."
The man pulled the carriage through the city gate and entered the city.
It's very lively inside. The Dragon Gang's supplies are transferred here, and there's a lot of business to be done.
The man went to a secluded corner and patted a bunch of medicinal herbs.
