Chapter 226 The Secret of Woniu City

Although Pharmacist Guo temporarily stopped his actions in Woniu City, Luancheng and Shige did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.

In Luancheng, Zhou Tong's sharp eyes like an eagle were always keeping a close eye on any slight movement coming from Woniu City.

His brow furrowed, his heart filled with confusion. "What on earth is Pharmacist Guo up to? He suddenly stopped. Is he brewing a larger, more terrifying conspiracy?"

Zhou Tong held onto the city wall with his hands, his finger joints turning slightly white due to the force. He looked into the distance, his eyes full of worry and vigilance.

Shi Ge's capable general, Yu Shaoqin, was also restless and paced back and forth in the tent.

His face was solemn as he muttered to himself, "This matter is filled with endless mysteries. We must not let our guard down in the slightest. Come, give the order to continue to strengthen the vigilance. There must be no slacking off!"

Yu Shaoqin's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He paced anxiously, raising his hand from time to time to wipe the sweat, his inner anxiety was fully revealed.

The days passed one by one, and there was still no movement from Pharmacist Guo's side, like a stagnant pool of water.

But this unusual calmness was like an invisible big hand, making everyone's nerves even more tense.

The soldiers on the city wall all looked nervous, holding their weapons tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

Just when everyone was racking their brains to guess Pharmacist Guo's true intentions, a dusty spy brought shocking news.

"General, we discovered that Pharmacist Guo's army was secretly moving food and weapons, but they were not heading towards us."

The spy panted heavily, speaking urgently. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, his face was covered in dust, and his eyes revealed deep fatigue and anxiety.

Upon hearing this news, Mu Hui's brow furrowed as deeply as the ravines of a mountain river, and he said in a deep voice, "What exactly does this mean? Could it be that he has another unknown goal?"

Yu Shaoqin rested his hand on his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "No matter what, we must not let our guard down. We must continue to observe and be prepared to respond to any emergencies that may arise."

However, it wasn't long before a new situation emerged. It seemed as if a violent internal conflict had broken out within Pharmacist Guo's army, and some soldiers fled the camp in panic.

This series of sudden changes made the already complicated situation even more confusing, as if it was shrouded in thick fog.

Shi Ge's generals were extremely anxious and hurriedly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Mu Hui's expression was solemn, and he spoke in a low voice, "Pharmacist Guo's actions are becoming increasingly bizarre and unpredictable. Is this civil unrest real, or is it just a smokescreen they've deliberately released to confuse us?"

Yu Shaoqin pondered for a long time and said slowly: "No matter what, we can't act rashly. We should send spies to investigate further and obtain more accurate and detailed intelligence."

The spies were once again ordered to set out, but this time, their return was as quiet as a stone's throw. Everyone's heart was in their throats, and every minute and every second of waiting was like torture.

Just as everyone was anxiously waiting, news finally came from the spy, but it was heartbreakingly bad news.

It turned out that the brave spy was discovered by Guo Yaoshi's men and was brutally killed.

Upon hearing this, Mu Hui angrily slammed his hand on the table, shaking the teacups so much that they jumped up. "Pharmacist Guo is openly provoking us! Such evil deeds are beyond the reach of justice!"

Yu Shaoqin tried to remain calm and advised, "The more critical the situation, the more we must remain calm. Perhaps this is exactly what Pharmacist Guo wants to do, to provoke us and throw us off our feet, giving him an opportunity to take advantage."

At this time, another soldier came hurriedly to report that Guo Yaoshi's army had new movements and seemed to be slowly moving towards a mysterious and unknown direction.

Mu Hui and Yu Shaoqin looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and deep worry.

They didn't know what Pharmacist Guo was going to do, nor did they know how they should respond to ensure the safety of the city and protect the people.

In Luancheng, an order came from the court, requiring them to make their own decisions based on the current situation, but they must ensure the stability of the border and not let any losses occur.

This order was like a heavy mountain, pressing them so hard that they could hardly breathe.

They knew very well that if they made a wrong decision, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would the city be in danger and the people would suffer, but they would also become sinners for all eternity.

As Pharmacist Guo's army got closer and closer to the unknown destination, a huge crisis seemed to be about to break out like a storm.

……

Zhao Yongsheng frowned and said, "Why don't we send out a small group of elite troops to quietly follow Pharmacist Guo's army and see what they are going to do."

Zhao Sheng nodded slightly, agreeing: "This plan is feasible, but we must tell them to be careful and not reveal their whereabouts, so as not to alert the enemy."

After the elite troops set off quickly, Zhou Tong anxiously waited for news in the city.

Every moment of waiting seems like a long time, which is very tormenting.

Finally, someone from the dispatched troops returned to report: "General, Pharmacist Guo's army has stopped in a deep valley, seemingly awaiting some mysterious command."

Zhao Yongsheng's brows were furrowed tightly, like a knot twisted into a dough knot. "Waiting for orders? Do they have powerful backup?"

At this moment, news came that another strange and powerful force was discovered behind Guo Yaoshi's army.

Zhao Yongsheng was shocked and his expression changed suddenly: "Could this be their real purpose?"

Before they could figure out the situation, Guo Yaoshi's army suddenly began to move, rapidly approaching Luancheng and Shige like a surging tide.

Zhao Sheng acted decisively and immediately issued the order: "All troops, be on alert, prepare to meet the enemy!"

On the city walls, soldiers stood in battle formation, their weapons gleaming coldly in the sunlight. A tense atmosphere permeated every corner, as if condensed into substance.

However, when Guo Yaoshi's army did not head towards Luancheng, it changed its target and headed towards Shi Ge's camp.

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Yongsheng looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion and vigilance, wondering what Pharmacist Guo was up to.

Ma Biao and his men were outside the city, and there was not a single person missing from the three reorganized regiments.

At this moment, deafening shouts of killing were heard in the distance. The spy came in a panic and reported: "Commander-in-chief, the foreign enemy took this opportunity to launch a fierce attack!"

The situation suddenly became extremely critical, like a small boat in a storm, which could capsize at any time.

Ma Biao was caught in a dilemma, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

Xu Gang said, "This is a civil war. Our goal is to ensure that no one comes to fight us. If anything happens, report it to the Prince Consort."

Ma Biao gritted his teeth and said, "Send out scouts to investigate!"

The armies of both sides quickly joined forces and launched a thrilling and brutal battle with the foreign enemy.

On the battlefield, the cries of killing were deafening, the clashing of weapons was endless, the figures of soldiers were looming in the smoke, and the ground was dyed red with blood.

The smoke of gunpowder had not yet cleared, and the battlefield was in ruins, with broken walls and ruins everywhere.

Some of the soldiers were lying on the ground, gasping for breath; some were leaning against the wall, their eyes tired but determined.

In the distance, Ma Biao and his men were watching from afar, but they couldn't see clearly because the distance was too far.

Just then, a spy came running over in a hurry.
