Of course, he left behind the treatment plan and the medicine he made by himself. Gongsun Yan looked at the pile of black and unknown unknown objects in front of him that could smell the stench from several meters away, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
Ling Xuewei, who was next to her, also looked confused. Yue Feng and Yue Qing even stepped back a few meters, covering their noses with painful expressions on their faces.
Are you sure this old man didn't do it on purpose?
Is this smell... too much?
But what is the reason for the inexplicable gloating in my heart? Hahaha...
In fact, it's not just the two of them who think this way, even Ling Xuewei thinks so.
But the old man has no grudge against Gongsun Yan, so why would he deceive him like this? This should be what this potion does... right?
"Ahem, be good. Although it smells a bit bitter, good medicine tastes bitter, so you still have to drink it, so that you can get better, you know?" Ling Xuewei persuaded her in a good voice.
Gongsun Yan looked at the pile of black medicine in front of him and felt extremely sure.
This old man and that man are definitely a family.
Trapping people to death will not pay for their lives.
Yesterday, I said it was righteous and upright, but in my heart, I was extremely protective of my shortcomings.
But when Gongsun Yan met Ling Xuewei's concerned eyes, he couldn't say anything to reject her.
So he picked up the bowl with a heroic look on his face, raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
Yue Feng and the other two people's facial features were about to fly. Xiong Cang was relatively calm, but what was going on with the admiration in his eyes...?
As soon as he swallowed the medicine, Gongsun Yan put down the bowl calmly.
then……
"vomit--!"
Ling Xuewei, "..."
The moon, wind and moon are clear and green, "..."
…
All afternoon, the inn was filled with a 'strange' smell.
Several people were extremely embarrassed when they faced the weird looks from the waiter at the inn.
But who can say anything more?
Especially Ling Xuewei, when she saw Gongsun Yan's pitiful red eyes, she felt so guilty, let alone blaming him.
Even Gongsun Yan stayed by her side all afternoon without saying anything.
No one noticed the flash of success in his eyes.
I'm afraid even Ye Xiutian himself didn't expect that for a moment, he would become someone's great helper.
…
Independence State is a hundred miles away.
In the tall bushes, a dozen green figures are lying on the ground. The camouflage uniforms and the marks on their faces make them blend in perfectly with the surrounding environment. At first glance, they look like static vegetation.
This is a small team from the Independence Army that went out for reconnaissance. They have been stationed here for two days and two nights.
In their hands, they held communication equipment unique to the Independence Army. The man in the lead set his sights on the riverside a few kilometers away.
That's where the ghost army is stationed.
The number has reached extremely terrifying figures.
Densely packed, endless as far as the eye can see.
After two days of observation, they found that these ghost troops were just stationed in place and showed no signs of attacking. However, they also knew that this was just the calm before the storm, so they did not dare to relax for a moment.
Suddenly, the leader noticed something strange.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you feel that their number seems to have become smaller?"
"What?"
Several people were startled and moved away to observe. For a moment, their expressions changed slightly.
"It has become less! Could it be..."
"Go and report...ah!!"
With a scream, the person who spoke was suddenly pierced through the chest by a sharp blade!
"Enemy attack!! Alert!!"
At some point, a person appeared behind them, holding a black staff and wrapped in a black robe, with no expression visible.
"The staff in black...he is the priest of the Underworld Palace, everyone, be careful." The speaker quickly calmed down after the initial panic.
The rest of the people gathered together like cheetahs, back to back, with stern faces, and sent out signals at the same time.
In just a few breaths, they showed strong collaboration.
Yu Xie was slightly surprised.
He didn't expect that even though they were just a reconnaissance team, they would not panic and calm down quickly when they encountered an attack.
This had to make him feel a little bit in crisis.
Moreover, these people obviously knew the information about their Diming Temple very well, and they recognized him immediately upon meeting him... It seems that this independent army rumored by the outside world does have some abilities.
It's a pity... murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and the staff suddenly glowed brightly.
"asphyxia!"
Several beams of light wrapped around their necks like snakes, lifting them high into the air. Several people's legs were kicking in the air, and their faces were red from holding back.
"Woooo..."
After a while, the sound of struggling gradually disappeared. Yu Xie waved his hand, and the body fell to the ground with a "bang bang", making no sound.
Several ghost clansmen following behind them rushed forward when they smelled the human breath!
Unexpectedly, with two "pop" sounds, two ghost heads flew out!
A person in the distance on the ground suddenly jumped up like a cheetah, killed two ghosts, and then jumped out in the blink of an eye!
"Chase me!!"
Yu Xie's face was gloomy.
He was actually deceived by a little scout!
It seems that he was killed in an explosion just now, but he was actually deceived! This made him angry and secretly frightened at the same time.
He must not be allowed to pass the news on!
…
How could it be so easy for field scouts trained by Ling Xuewei to fail?
They were obviously more familiar with the terrain here than the ghosts, and with their excellent concealment methods, they were able to get rid of the chasing ghosts in a few seconds.
After Yu Xie received the news, he rarely became angry again. He waved his hand and led the people away.
…
After receiving the news, Di Jian was holding a pre-war meeting with several generals.
When he learned that all his frontline scouts had been wiped out, his eyes darkened.
After letting the only scout who came back alive settle down, he said to the people around him, "It seems that the city lord had a good idea. They are attacking in the east and in the west. Some of them are there to attract our attention, but they are secretly moving the large troops."
Huashandao, commander of the Sixth Army, said, "They should have used teleportation scrolls, but it's difficult for us to predict their teleportation direction."
Gu Rui said, "There are people coming and going in the city. No matter how strict our inspection is, we still can't rule out the possibility of spies from the ghost clan sneaking in. What's more, there were frequent business trips in the past, so it's impossible for us to monitor everyone."
Di Jian narrowed his eyes, sneered for a moment, "In that case, then send out the air force to investigate, and ask the barrier masters to follow. I don't believe we can't find their location. Someone, go find Song Shao."
Soon, Song Shao came to report in a military uniform.
"Major Song, you immediately dispatch all the air force and start patrolling the independent state. I want to know the result in twelve hours."
"I obey my orders!"
"General Hua, General Gu, I leave the defense in Independence City to you."
As the main city, Independence City naturally has the tightest defense. With the Sixth and Ninth Army stationed at the same time, he is not worried for the time being.
The most important thing now is the situation in the other ten cities.
The border fortress of the Independent State is undoubtedly the city that never sleeps. And Xue Duan personally led the first army there yesterday. If a war breaks out, that place will become the first battlefield.
