Ma Sanmei lay down, Xiaoqin wore leather gloves on her hands and a mask on her face.
The doctor brought a bowl of prepared decoction and placed it next to Ma Sanmei's bed.
"Bear with it, it hurts a little."
Xiaoqin sighed helplessly, and Ma Sanmei tremblingly picked up the medicine bowl, opened her mouth, and poured it into her stomach.
Snapped!
As soon as she drank the medicine, the medicine bowl fell to the ground. Ma Sanmei screamed in pain and vomited blood on the ground. The doctor immediately used powder to cover up the black blood.
The powder fell on the black blood, and white steam emerged.
It's early autumn, Xicheng is still hot and humid, and the ward is filled with a strange smell.
Xiaoqin took out a silver needle and pierced Ma Sanmei's forehead, causing Ma Sanmei to faint.
"General Qin, our medicine doesn't seem to be working well."
The doctor came over, looked at the unconscious Ma Sanmei, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Xiaoqin said: "There is nothing I can do. I tried my best to take good care of General Ma."
After walking out of the ward, Xiaoqin took off her hijab and sat under the eaves in a daze.
"If the big pervert is here, maybe he can do something."
Xiaoqin thought of Long Chen. No matter what difficulties he encountered, Long Chen could always find a way to deal with them.
It would be great if Long Chen were here.
A woman wearing ordinary clothes and a bamboo hat walked in from outside.
"General Qin."
"You're back. How is the situation at Yanmen Pass?"
Xiaoqin jumped down from the railing.
This woman is a spy, specifically responsible for inquiring about news from the north.
The woman said: "King Wu defeated Wu Sheng, and the ghost tribe retreated to the ice field. The next decisive battle may be this winter, and Yanmen Pass is very tense."
"Everything is normal in Jinling. We can purchase everything we need. We don't have to worry about logistics."
Rhinoceros City is the rear area where Ji Xianxian fights. Wounded soldiers are treated, weapons are made, and food is supplied in Rhinoceros City.
The things in Rhinoceros City all came from Nanliang, especially Jinling City.
"Okay, got it."
Xiaoqin sighed slightly, she hoped that Long Chen would finish the fight soon so that he could have his hands free to help Ji Xianxian.
Ji Xianxian fought smoothly at first, but later encountered big problems, and the battle was very difficult and tragic.
The woman retreated, Xiaoqin wrote a letter, and sent someone to give it to Ji Xianxian.
Ji Xianxian has always paid close attention to the war at Yanmen Pass.
...
Shuohai City.
When a trust eagle landed in the prefect's mansion, the clerk immediately took off the reed tube from his feet and took it to the front office.
At this time, the governor of Shuohai City was Xiao Ling.
The former Shuohai City was not important, it was just a port on the northernmost coast of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
After the war with the ghost tribe, this place was responsible for receiving the demon-suppressing stones shipped from Lihuo Island, and Jinling's supplies were also transferred from Shuohai City to Yanmen Pass.
Shuohai City is now extremely busy, with many merchants and soldiers, and the prefect has heavy responsibilities.
The reed tube was delivered to the prefect Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling saw the mark on it and saw that it was sent by the empress. Xiao Ling hurriedly took out the secret message inside.
After reading it, Xiao Ling immediately said: "Please come to discuss matters with Colonel Xu!"
My subordinates immediately asked Xu Fang, the captain of Shuohai City.
Shuohai City has a large population and is also a distribution center for military supplies. In order to prevent sneak attacks by the ghost tribe, there are five thousand soldiers guarding the place.
Captain Xu Fang was once the captain of Peking University Camp.
Soon, Xu Fang arrived at the prefect's mansion.
"Prefect Xiao."
"Xu Lieutenant, please sit down and read the secret letter from your Majesty."
The two of them have the same status. If Xu Fang wants to do something, he must do it in the name of the empress.
Xu Fang took the reed pipe, read the contents of the secret message, and immediately said: "I will immediately lead people to conduct a thorough investigation. The ordnance shipped by sea must be docked. Just search along the coastline and you will definitely find it."
The prefect Xiao Ling said: "Thank you for your hard work, Lieutenant Xu. This matter must be handled well so that you and I can work together easily."
Xu Fang got up and left the prefect's mansion and returned to the captain's mansion. Xu Fang immediately ordered a thousand navy troops.
After leaving the Taiwei Mansion, Xu Fang led his troops into the dock.
The dock of Shuohai City is bustling with people and very lively.
The large ship docked at the port. Ordnance, armor, magic stones, and food were unloaded from the ship, then loaded on carriages, counted, and transported to Yanmen Pass.
When Xu Fang entered the dock, the busy soldiers and coolies retreated one after another.
They didn't know what happened, but Lieutenant Xu actually led the troops there in person.
The official in charge of the port hurriedly came over to pay his respects. Xu Fang responded casually and immediately led his troops on board the ship.
Shuohai City has its own naval warships, which are transferred from Jinling City.
When Nanliang was destroyed, Jin Luo served as the commander of the navy. After Nanliang was destroyed, Jin Luo was responsible for transporting supplies, and the excess warships were given to Shuohai City.
After boarding the building boat, Xu Fang's soldiers divided into two groups, searching one way to the north and the other to the south.
Shuohai City is located in the north. In early autumn, there are ice floes in the sea in the north and the water is cold.
Xu Fang guessed that the weapons unloading location should be in the north, because the north is less populated and desolate, and there are fishing villages in the south, which is not conducive to hiding.
So Xu Fang personally led his troops to search north.
Warships did not dare to get too close to the shore for fear of running aground.
Xu Fang stood on a high platform, holding a telescope and scanning the shore carefully.
I searched for dozens of miles north and found no trace.
"Is it in the south?"
Xu Fang suspected that his judgment was wrong.
"Sir Captain, there are a lot of ice floes to the north, so we are likely to hit them."
The crew was worried and did not want to continue searching north.
Xu Fang was also worried about hitting an ice floe, but the search must continue.
"The building boat docked, everyone went ashore to search."
The warship slowly docked, and all the soldiers disembarked and continued searching north along the coastline.
It was getting late and night was falling. Xu Fang did not bring a torch, so he had to return to the warship and wait until dawn tomorrow to search again.
When we returned to the place where the warships docked, several large ships suddenly appeared in the south. The people on the bows held torches, and fire suddenly appeared in the woods on the shore.
"Sir, over there!"
The men followed Xu Fang and searched for a day, but found no trace and felt frustrated.
Unexpectedly, hard work paid off and I found it at the last moment.
"Everyone, follow me!"
Xu Fang led his soldiers to charge forward. He rushed to the front every time, so the soldiers under his command were willing to work hard and sacrifice their lives.
Xu Fang tried to get as close to the dense forest as possible. All soldiers hid themselves and were not allowed to make any noise.
When he reached the side of the big ship, Xu Fang squatted down, and all the soldiers squatted down and lurked.
Taking out his telescope, Xu Fang looked at the big ship not far away.
There were dozens of men in civilian clothes. Their clothes belonged to ordinary people, but they did not look like ordinary people. They looked like veterans who had come off the battlefield.
Xu Fang was not mistaken, these people were the Nanliang veterans Li Pu was looking for.
These veterans were also loyal to Li Chengdao and were willing to take risks to do these things.
A long ladder was set up from the bow of the ship on the shore, and things were constantly being transported down.
Torches were placed on the bow of the boat and on the shore, and the men kept carrying them.
"Sir, do you want to do something?"
The men felt itchy after seeing it and wanted to arrest him immediately.
Xu Fang shook his head and said: "Tell everyone not to move and let them move!"
My subordinates don't understand, but orders must be carried out on the battlefield.
The order was passed on and all soldiers were not allowed to move without permission.
The things on the boat were carried down bit by bit, and when they reached the shore, they were pulled into the dense forest by car and hidden.
Xu Fang was very patient and waited quietly for them to move.
