Chapter 353 Discovering the Private Army Camp
Chapter 353 Discovering the Private Army Camp
Taoist Xuan Qing was not picky about the animals used to test medicine, as long as they were alive.
True Man Yuheng was filled with resentment because the heavy burden of catching animals for drug testing for his senior brother fell on him.
It's not good to be someone's junior apprentice. When his senior apprentice needs herbs, he becomes the medicine boy; when his senior apprentice needs animals to test the drugs, he becomes the hunter.
Fortunately, his senior brother still had some humanity and did not let him sacrifice himself to test the medicine. Alas... he can live until now all thanks to the head senior brother!
Now I realize how good he is.
If I had known this, I would have been less angry with him when we were in the mountains.
However, the mountains are lonely, and only the fighting and playing among fellow disciples can bring more life.
His guilt towards his head brother lasted only as long as he was recalling it in his mind, and when the recollection ended, the guilt disappeared.
True Man Yuheng searched all over the mountain for rabbits, but later almost all the rabbits in Panlong Mountain escaped.
I don’t know which talkative rabbit informed its companions in the mountain, but it is extremely difficult to find the rabbit’s trace anyway.
It’s more difficult than finding the private army’s camp.
Although the private army camp was hidden, with the help of captives, the camps of all the private armies that attacked Panlong Mountain were eventually found.
However, the rabbits all abandoned their nests and ran away, and Master Yuheng was helpless.
Looking at the empty rabbit hutch, he also felt that he had committed a serious sin against the rabbits.
After the rabbits moved away, the mountain mice all moved into the big house.
Although they all know how to dig holes, the empty rabbit holes all over the mountain still attract their interest.
Some "smart" mountain rats moved directly into the big villa, which attracted the attention of Master Yuheng.
If you can't catch rabbits, then just catch mountain rats. Anyway, it's bad luck for anyone to have the hard job of testing drugs.
Mountain mice reproduce faster than rabbits, so let's choose them to take over the rabbits' job.
Cages for catching rabbits have been placed at the entrances of several caves. Master Yuheng is already very experienced in catching rabbits, so it is not difficult for him to catch mountain rats now.
Zhenren Yuheng selected a cave entrance and began to fumigate.
Wet firewood would easily produce the black smoke he needed. This kind of smoke not only reduced visibility, but also made the throat very irritated and made breathing difficult.
He fanned thick black smoke into the cave and it came out from several other openings. The entire cave was filled with smoke, including all the branch roads.
The rabbits were cornered in their burrows and ran around in all directions.
In the end, they couldn't stand the stimulation anymore and rushed out regardless of anything, and then fell into the capture cage placed by Master Yuheng.
Now the situation is similar with mountain rats. Soon, more than a dozen mountain rats were caught in several cages.
Master Yuheng walked back with the cage in his hand, satisfied. He walked a little far today, but fortunately the final result was good.
With these prey for drug testing, Senior Brother should have enough for two days.
I hope that brother will lose interest in poison in a few days, so that he won’t have to go up the mountain to catch living creatures every day.
True Man Yuheng climbed up a tree and walked freely in the forest.
Suddenly, I heard human voices. Master Yuheng stood quietly on the tree branch without making any sound, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment.
The voice became clearer and clearer:
"General Zhang, we have lost contact with our superiors for many days. What should we do next?" Someone asked directly.
"It is the same as it was before, what's the problem with that?" General Zhang asked.
"General Zhang, we are about to run out of food, and the supplies have not arrived yet. What should we do? We have been running out of food and grass for many days. Eating wild vegetables and game to fill our stomachs is not a long-term solution."
There simply wasn’t enough to eat and most people couldn’t get enough to eat.
General Zhang: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing about this matter. I won't let my brothers starve." What kind of answer is this? It's like saying nothing!
The person who asked the question first did not get the information he wanted and left angrily.
The deputy general beside General Zhang said to him:
"General, he must have his own thoughts. If he loses contact with Kyoto, I'm afraid something bad will happen..."
If supplies are not delivered soon, the soldiers will starve for too long and the camp will probably explode!
By the time
It is very difficult to gather people together once they are scattered.
How could General Zhang not know this?
However, the prince saved his life, and he swore to be loyal to him until death!
It was more important to stabilize the morale of the army at this time. Moreover, he had received an order to attack Panlong Mountain. However, the messenger from Kyoto never came again.
The specific time of the attack has not been finalized, and he is now hesitating whether to continue to follow the military order from Kyoto.
Now we are in a dilemma.
Let’s fight—how can hungry soldiers be willing to fight?
Let’s not fight—Kyoto’s supplies have been cut off, and if we wait any longer the soldiers will probably starve and run away.
General Zhang: "The only plan now is to continue to attack Panlong Mountain. There is ready-made food and cash there. Once we occupy it, we can solve our urgent problem."
The deputy general was silent for a moment, then clasped his fists and saluted: "I will obey the general's orders in everything."
Having said that, the deputy general did not quite agree with attacking now because there was already a lot of complaints among the soldiers.
General Zhang may not know, but he knows it clearly.
General Zhang: Alas! I am afraid I will have to be loyal to the prince this time!
He knew in his heart that there was no chance of success in attacking Panlong Mountain, as he had heard in the past that Panlong Mountain's combat power was off the charts.
Several large bandit camps were wiped out in one day.
Wherever the security flag went, all the bandits retreated.
They can only rely on their numbers to attack, and this is their only advantage.
General Zhang is a person whom the prince trusts the most. The prince assigned him more than 2,000 soldiers. Now without supplies, more than 2,000 people have become a heavy burden.
He can't wait any longer!
If there is no news from Kyoto today, he can only lead the army to continue attacking Panlong Mountain according to the previous plan.
General Zhang left with his deputy general, full of thoughts.
Yuheng Zhenren: What a good life this girl has! It's really enviable.
I heard the girl muttering yesterday: It would be great if a few thousand more people came. Panlong Mountain is in need of workers right now!
Look, someone is coming to your door!
True Man Yuheng followed General Zhang and his men quietly, and only retreated quietly after finding out where the camp was.
The management of the private army camp is very loose now. He didn't meet a soldier patrolling the camp all the way back and forth. It seems that there is indeed a serious shortage of food here.
People don't want to move when they are hungry, otherwise how could such a large camp be so quiet.
True Man Yuheng listened carefully and indeed there were a lot of breathing sounds, but very few people walking around.
He slipped away satisfied, and when he returned he found Shi Yi and told her about his discovery.
Shi Yi's eyes lit up: "Great! Master Xuan Qing's decision to let you catch prey is really the right one!
Master Yuheng: Can you speak?
