Doctor Wu was silent for a moment about Li Xi's idea of ​​making a hidden weapon to protect herself, and then he agreed with her idea.

It is said that one should not have the intention to harm others, but one must guard against human intentions.

Some things are not afraid of being useless, but the fear is that you can't find them when you need them.

"Whatever you want to do, the preparations for the medicine store will be arranged by the people in Zhenbei General's Mansion. I've been very free recently, so it's just right for me to go with you. At my age, I think I value my life more than you do."

Li Xi: If you cherish your life, then cherish your life. Why do you still praise one and criticize the other?

But if he stayed, she would have an extra helper, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Cherishing one's life has nothing to do with age." People say that as people get older, they become more open-minded about life and death. Why doesn't he?

Doctor Wu knew Li Xi's mouth best, so he naturally wouldn't argue with him about the issues of age and cherishing life.

With the addition of Doctor Wu, Li Xi's production process was greatly accelerated. Within two days, he made two mini sleeve arrows. The arrows of the sleeve arrows were replaced by sharp steel needles, and the steel needles were coated with Li Xi's secret drug. It was no problem to knock out two elephants with the drug.

Doctor Wu looked at the two mini sleeve arrows on the table with amazement. He didn't expect that she was not only accomplished in medical skills, but also had a talent in making weapons.

He has personally tested the range and power of the sleeve arrows, and the results are absolutely eye-catching.

If Gu Changfeng saw this, he would definitely take it away and not give it back.

Doctor Wu reached out to take his own sleeve arrow, but he was stopped by Li Xi before his hand touched the arrow.

"Wait, the steel needle hasn't been installed yet." As she said this, she carefully put the steel needle that had been dried in the shade beside her into the sleeve arrow.

Doctor Wu twitched as he watched her actions. When it came to saving lives, he really admired Li Xi. He didn't know where she found the recipe for the drug. With this amount of medicine, not to mention one person, even ten people would fall down.

Different from the previous use of relatively cheap medicinal materials to make hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs, the medicinal materials Li Xi used to prepare the aphrodisiac this time included many precious medicinal materials.

Even Doctor Wu felt pain in his heart when he saw her putting one steel needle after another into the sleeve arrow. Many of those medicinal herbs were specially given to her by him as a thank you to Li Xi for sharing the knowledge in the divine book with him free of charge.

The herbs he used as a thank you were naturally not ordinary herbs. He felt distressed when he gave them, but that distress instantly turned into a deeper distress after he watched Li Xi grind them up in front of him, boil them, and apply them on the steel needles.

He regretted it so much. Those were precious medicinal herbs that he had treasured for many years and was reluctant to use them himself. Yet, she crushed them so easily and made them into inferior drugs. It was such a waste of talent.

If he had known that she was going to use his precious medicinal herbs to make drugs, he would definitely jump out to stop him. Unfortunately, when he came to help, Li Xi had already crushed the herbs.

He could only watch her with heartache.

Li Xi installed the steel needle and when she looked up, she saw Doctor Wu looking at the sleeve arrow in her hand with a complicated and awkward look.

"Doctor Wu, how long are you going to look at it like this?" Li Xi stuffed the prepared sleeve arrow into his hand, "Here, take it and look at it slowly."

Li Xi continued to install steel needles on another sleeve arrow. These preparations were not enough. It would be great if there were chili peppers. He ground some chili pepper powder and prepared it. When the time comes, he could slap anyone who dared to cause trouble in the face.

However, she hasn't seen chili peppers since she came to Dayan. Forget it, she might as well prepare some quicklime. She has already given the cement recipe to Gu Jingzhi. He already knows the effect of cement and will probably take action soon. She can then get some from him.

However, this may disappoint Li Xi. Gu Jingzhi is now a "dead man". In order for subsequent plans to proceed smoothly, the Zhenbei Army needs to keep a low profile recently.

Therefore, the configuration of cement is carried out in secret. Even if there are results, they have to wait until their plan is successful before they can start laying it.

……

barracks.

In Gu Jingzhi's big tent.

"I think the Huns have received the letter by now." Gu Changfeng stood in front of the map, looking at the vast grassland outside Jiayuguan with a serious look.

Gu Jingzhi stood up and walked to the side, "It seems that they can't bear it anymore."

The Huns' attacks in recent days were all intended to test Gu Changfeng's attitude and judge his attitude.

Although they were certain that Gu Jingzhi would not survive, the Huns still did not dare to take it lightly and kept urging the spies in the military camp to find out the truth.

Gu Jingzhi's tent was right here. Every day someone brought in water and food, and doctors came from time to time. These things could not be hidden from anyone.

After all, they didn't make a plan to fake their death at the beginning, and the clues revealed in the early stage can only be corrected later.

So they asked Doctor Wu to play a trick with them, making them think that Gu Changfeng had deliberately created the illusion that Gu Jingzhi was still alive.

As expected, the spies were fooled, and they determined their identities from their unusual behavior, and followed the clues to find a group of spies who were hiding deeper.

There are not many of them, only five in the entire camp, most of whom are new soldiers who have joined in recent years. Fortunately, because they joined late, their positions are not high and they do not have the ability to get involved in military affairs.

Gu Jingzhi has arranged people to closely monitor their whereabouts and arrest them immediately when the time is right.

The situation on the Xiongnu side was just as Gu Changfeng and his friends had guessed. After reading the letter sent by the spy, the Xiongnu Left Wise King Wuhubi laughed three times.

"Hahaha, the Eternal Heaven has eyes. Gu Changfeng has been with us for so many years. Now we have killed his only son. Let's see how arrogant he will be in the future!"

Ever since Gu Changfeng led his troops to repel the Huns and guard the border twenty years ago, the relationship between the Huns and Dayan has become easy to attack and defend, and they have never gained any benefits in the battle with Gu Changfeng.

His name became a nightmare for the Huns. After losing several battles in succession, they dared only to carry out small-scale looting for fear of running into the lord of the Zhenbei Army.

But they actually adjusted their battle strategies according to the changes in their combat operations and set up patrol camps specifically to target them.

It's really hateful!

But at this moment Wu Hubi was extremely happy. What could be more gratifying than your enemy being wiped out from his family line?

"Luantiye, you did a great job. If you hadn't set up an ambush, we wouldn't have been able to catch such a big fish."

Luantiye put one hand on his chest and bowed, "Lord Zuo, these are what I should do."

Seeing Luantiye's humble look, Zuo Xian Wang touched his round belly and smiled with satisfaction, "The news of Gu Jingzhi's death has been confirmed. Next, we will give Gu Changfeng a big gift."

"King Zuo Xian, a surprise attack on Jiayuguan is no small matter. Should we discuss it with the Chanyu?" Luantiye stepped forward and said in a low voice.

He moved closer to Wuhubi and spoke in a very low voice, so that only Wuhubi could hear what he said in the tent.

Wuhubi waved his hand to signal everyone in the tent to leave. After the maid and guards left, only Wuhubi and Luantiye were left in the tent.

"I think the people of Dayan have a good saying that a general is not subject to military orders when he is away from home. Now is a godsend opportunity. We must seize it firmly.

As for the Chanyu, it won't be too late to report to him after I lead the Xiongnu army to victory." Wuhubi looked at Luantiye, "What do you think?"

"I am the Zuo Xian Wang's man, so I will naturally follow Zuo Xian Wang's lead."

Zuo Xian Wang stood up from the tiger-skin chair, walked to Luantiye and patted him on the shoulder, "I like people like you who know what's good for you. Don't worry, I know you are loyal, and I won't treat you unfairly."

Where there are people, there are conflicts. The Xiongnu Khan is like the alpha wolf in a wolf pack, but as time goes by, the alpha wolf grows old and a new alpha wolf will emerge in the pack.

Before the real leader is decided, all capable wolves will not give up this opportunity. Apparently, Wuhubi is no exception.

Motie placed one hand on his chest and swore allegiance to Uhubi.

Wuhubi walked out of the tent, crossed the wide grassland, and looked at the city in the distance. "Make arrangements and get the army ready."

The Chanyu is about to die, and the young lord is still young. If he can achieve outstanding results in this battle, he can firmly sit on the position of regent. Wuhubi's eyes were full of ambition, and he did not notice the slight flash in the lowered eyes of Luantiye beside him.

Most of the Hun army did not understand Uhubi's order for the entire army to be ready for battle, and some even complained.

After all, it is spring now and the grass on the grassland is growing. It is a good time for them to herd sheep and horses. In previous years, they went to Dayan to plunder during the cold autumn and winter. The reason was that there was too little food to eat on the grassland in winter. In order to eat enough and survive, they could only go to plunder.

But now it is the Spring Festival, and there is plenty of pasture on the grassland for them to herd sheep and horses. It is also a good time for sheep and horses to reproduce. They don't quite understand the small-scale looting before, let alone now that they have to let the entire army be ready to fight a tough battle.

Where do they find the time to attack Dayan?

Obviously, there were more than one or two people who had this idea. There were also senior Hun generals who went to see Wuhubi for this reason, but they were all suppressed by Wuhubi.

Wuhubi's status is there, and no matter how many questions and dissatisfactions others have, they can only obey.

The Xiongnu society was a pyramid-shaped hierarchical society. Shanyu was the supreme ruler of the Xiongnu regime and held the highest power in the entire Xiongnu society.

As the owner of the territory, in order to properly manage the land under his jurisdiction, the Chanyu would distribute the land to the four major countries. The four countries would each send four kings, namely the Zuo Xian King, the Zuo Guli King, the You Xian King, and the You Guli King.

They were the highest military and administrative officials in the local Xiongnu area and were at the second level of the political structure.

Each "king" has six left and right generals, left and right grand commanders, and left and right grand stewards who are in charge of "ten thousand cavalry".

The four kings commanded a total of twenty-four military generals, forming the "Twenty-Four Chiefs" of the Xiongnu State, and their status was at the third level.

The Left Wise King Wuhubi ranked first among the four kings and commanded the largest army, with a total of 200,000 Xiongnu soldiers. This was also his confidence.

There are Hun spies in the Zhenbei Army, and naturally there are also Zhenbei Army spies among the Huns.

Just as Wuhubi passed on the message to be prepared for battle at any time, an ordinary gray and white pigeon took off from somewhere on the grassland and flew towards Jiayuguan.

The pigeon flew over Jiayu Pass and into the General Zhenbei's Mansion.

A moment later, the butler rode to the military camp at full speed. Not long after he entered the camp, the five spies who had been under close surveillance were immediately captured.

Gu Changfeng ordered everyone to create a posture of appearing relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside, and be ready for a big battle with the Huns at any time.

Not only the Huns had been waiting for this battle for many years, but Gu Changfeng had too.

The Huns were too cunning. When they gathered, they would gather in the big rivers. When they dispersed, they would scatter like birds and beasts. Their long experience of hunting on the grasslands had developed their unique tactics.

Even though Gu Changfeng looked down on the Huns who ate raw meat and drank blood, he had to admit that their lifestyle made their bodies stronger and their riding skills were outstanding.

It was this "riding far away from the dust" that gave Gu Changfeng the most headache. The Huns were like weeds in spring, which could not be burned by wildfires but would grow again with the spring breeze.

There is only one way to weaken their power, and that is - kill!

Wuhubi thought he was acting in a careful manner, but he didn't know that all his plans had been clearly laid out on the desk of the chief accountant in the Zhenbei Army camp.

……

Midnight of the next day.

Li Xi was awakened from her sleep by the sound of shouting and killing. She got up from the kang, went to the ground, put on her shoes and went to Hu Zi's room.

When she arrived, Hu Zi was lying on the kang and snoring, and he seemed not to hear any of the noisy noise outside.

Looking at his exposed belly while sleeping, Li Xi shook her head and went forward to cover him.

I thought to myself, his sleep quality is really good, he is in a deep sleep.

Although he didn't know what happened, Li Xi could tell that the sound came from Jiayuguan.

Late at night, in Jiayuguan, there were shouts and screams.

Li Xi's eyes flashed slightly. Could it be that the Huns attacked at night?

There was a flickering fire in the distance, but this time Li Xi did not stay outside to watch. Instead, she turned around and went back to the room.

Lift up the quilt, lie down on the kang, then cover yourself with the quilt and continue sleeping!

Compared with them, she is just a small dish, and she will not rush to die.

The shouting and screaming outside lasted for two hours and only stopped gradually when the sky was slightly bright.

At this moment, Li Xi had fallen asleep listening to the "Killing Song". When she woke up the next day, Hu Zi was no longer at home. She was not too surprised, because at this time, he should be on his way to the private school.

Li Xi simply ate some porridge and side dishes bought by Hu Zi, and sat leisurely in the yard watching the clouds. Since Hu Zi could still buy breakfast from outside, what did this mean?

This means that the situation outside is not dangerous, and the victorious army last night should be the Zhenbei Army.

Li Xi was in a good mood after figuring it out, and at this moment there was a knock on the door.

Li Xi thought it was Doctor Wu and walked over and opened the door without thinking much.

Unexpectedly, the person standing outside was not Doctor Wu, but County Lieutenant Feng and Boss Hu who came with their son.
