Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Li Qi couldn't help but hesitate and said, "What you said makes some sense, but this is the only way I can think of."

Yu Aqi pointed at the two soldiers who died tragically and said, "This is a flesh-eating poison. The older generation in Anfeng City once said that if you are infected with this poison, unless you apply the antidote immediately, the poison will attack your heart and you will be unable to save your life."

Li Qi nodded and said, "You are from Anfeng City, that's great. In your opinion, what should we do?" He thought that there were spiritual doctors in Anfeng City who were good at treating various injuries and poisons caused by evil spirits, and perhaps his method would work.

Yu Aqi said: "We should remove the muscles at the poisoned part, or amputate the arm. There is no time to waste."

Li Qi was a little hesitant, thinking that since they were in the army, wouldn't they be useless if they had an arm cut off?

A sergeant who gritted his teeth and endured it said, "General, I think this young man is right. Please cut off my hand, I... I can't hold on any longer..." After saying that, he also cried out loudly.

Li Qi was helpless. He looked at the two dead soldiers and thought that saving their lives was the most important thing first. He hurriedly asked someone to bring out a large pot of strong liquor and gave each of the three men a large bowl of it. He then took out a sharp knife and cut off the poisoned arms of the three men with gritted teeth.

One of them screamed loudly and fainted immediately. The other two held on, sweat dripping down their foreheads.

Li Qi asked with tears in his eyes: "You...what do you think?"

One of them gritted his teeth and said, "Although it still hurts, it's still better than the feeling of being burned by the evil poison."

At this time, the commander of the Zhongqian Camp had brought a doctor over. After examining the soldier who had died of poisoning, the doctor's statement was basically the same as Yu Aqi's. He also said that he had no way to detoxify the soldier and amputating the arm was the only option.

Li Qi bowed to Yu Aqi and thanked him for saving the lives of three soldiers. Yu Aqi quickly stepped aside, saying that he was only good at talking and how could he dare to accept such a great courtesy from the general.

As the sky gradually brightened, Deputy General Feng Tan led seven battalions of soldiers back to the Zhongjing Army camp and reported that five soldiers guarding the east gate had died. They were all killed and their blood was sucked dry during the fight with the one-legged goblin. Fortunately, there were no casualties among the civilians in the city. It was estimated that the one-legged goblin heard the cries for help from the sheep-hoofed monster that was causing chaos in the military camp and had no time to harm the civilians.

Li Qi heard that five more soldiers had died, plus two who died in the barracks, a total of seven, and he was extremely sad, so he ordered Feng Tan to give them more relief. He also said that the place where the one-legged demon was located was seven or eight hundred miles away from Bicheng, and they had hurt many people along the way; and the general was still patrolling the border and had not returned to the city, and the one-legged demon was only injured and fled. These monsters like to hold grudges, so we must strengthen patrols in the city to prevent the evil spirits from causing trouble again.

Chu Xiaomu and Yu Aqi returned to the tent, still feeling frightened when they recalled the battle with the evil spirit the night before.

Lin Zhen said, "Brother Xiaomu, didn't you kill Jin Li'er's bronze spirit at Jiaoshan? Compared to that one-legged demon, which one is more powerful?"

Yu Aqi took over his words and said, "Evil spirits rely on magic. Each one is good at different magic, so it's hard to say which one is more powerful than the other."

Lin Zhen said again: "Let the Bronze Spirit fight the One-legged Mandrill, who do you think will win?"

……

Li Qi issued an order that the Zhongxun Camp of the Zhongjing Army would continue to guard the main camp, and the Zhongqian Camp, which was originally responsible for guarding the city gate, would continue to patrol the city defense in four directions every day, without relaxing for a moment.

The Zhonggen Camp entered Bicheng and patrolled the city to see if there were any suspicious evil spirits.

The Zhongdui Camp will split into two groups and leave the city to investigate whether there are any civilians harmed by the one-legged goblins or the sheep-hoofed monsters. If they meet troops from the Zhongkun, Zhongkan, Zhongli and Zhongzhen Camps patrolling the border along the way, they can order them to investigate together.

As for Chu Xiaomu and his thirteen companions, there were few people to discipline them. They became bolder and bolder, and ran to the racecourse to lead out horses to practice horse riding. The soldiers who were watching the horses saw that they were all wearing the military uniforms of Bicheng and did not stop them.

More than half a month passed like this, and suddenly it was the beginning of autumn.

One day at noon, a nearly two-foot-tall goshawk suddenly swooped down from the sky onto a wooden pole next to the camp gate, landed on the horizontal bar, and flapped its wings.

The soldier guarding the camp stepped forward, took something from the goshawk's leg, and ran to the central army tent to hand it to Li Xian.

Chu Xiaomu was puzzled and asked why the soldier was running so fast. Could it be that there was something valuable on the eagle's leg?

Yingdan smiled and said, "This eagle is used to deliver messages. The thing tied to its leg is a letter from someone far away. There are such message eagles in Bicheng, Yutuocheng and Yancheng."

Chu Xiaomu thought, so that's how it is. With such a fast-flying goshawk to transmit information, even if we are thousands of miles apart, we can communicate within a day, which is much faster than riding a horse. He also thought that it was fortunate that there was no such thing in Jinyang City, otherwise Jin Li'er would have received the news of the rebellion of the slaves early, and how could we have escaped from Jiaoshan alive?

Not long after, Li Xian came out of the central army tent and said that the general would be back to the city soon, and ordered the five central armies of the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest to enter the general's tent to discuss matters.

Chu Xiaomu, Yu Aqi and others have lived in the military camp for more than half a month and have learned a little about the situation in Bicheng.

It turned out that Bicheng, under the command of General Bi Ye, was divided into five central armies, namely, the East Zhong Army, with the central army Ding Qi, guarding the border at the foot of Lange Mountain to the east of Bicheng; the South Ding Army, with the central army Zhou Bo, guarding the Hubu Pass near the Shou Mountain area to the south of Bicheng; the West Yi Army, with the central army Huan Zhizheng, guarding the Juhou Pass across Kun River and the man-eating crocodile swamp to the west of Bicheng; the North Cheng Army, with the central army Yang Luo, guarding the Jieyun Pass at the foot of Jieyun Mountain to the north of Bicheng; the Central Jing Army, with the central army Li Xian, was responsible for the garrison and protection of the main urban area of ​​Bicheng.

Each central army is divided into eight battalions, and each battalion is divided into twenty to thirty small teams.

The eight camps under the Zhongjing Army were Zhongqian Camp, Zhongkun Camp, Zhongzhen Camp, Zhongxun Camp, Zhongkan Camp, Zhonggen Camp, Zhongli Camp and Zhongdui Camp, each with about four to five hundred people.

When the soldiers heard Li Xian, the commander of the Central Army, say that the general had ordered the five central armies to come into the tent to discuss matters, they were all puzzled. They wondered what could be so important that the five central armies from the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest had to come all the way back to discuss matters. This was a rare situation they had rarely seen before.

Even if there were evil spirits causing chaos or spiritual beasts invading the border and hurting people, General Bi Ye would only summon one or two soldiers from the central army to discuss the matter. It would be impossible for all five soldiers to come back.

At 4 p.m. on the second day, the sky was already starting to darken.

Chu Xiaomu and a dozen of his companions had just returned from the racecourse on horseback when they suddenly heard a "wooo woo woo" sound of a horn coming from afar.

Not long after, Li Qi changed into a set of silver armor and came to the tent of Chu Xiaomu and others. He said to Chu Xiaomu and Yang Dou with a happy face: "The general is back. You two should follow me to see him."

Chu Xiaomu was puzzled, thinking that we, an unknown boy, had no qualifications to meet General Bi Ye. Yu Aqi, Lin Zhen, Zhang Hou and others wanted to see the general, but they were not summoned, and they were unhappy.

Li Qi, along with Chu Xiaomu, Yang Dou and four accompanying guards, rode towards the general's tent in the city.
