After hearing Song Jinxiu's order, Xiao Kuishan glanced at the Dragon and Tiger Camp, which was far away from the Tenth Army's camp, and asked, "Your Highness, are you worried that these plague soldiers will infect others?"

Song Jinxiu nodded. "Isolating the infected soldiers is a necessary measure to control the epidemic. Why? Didn't General Xiao isolate them?"

General Xiao shook his head and said, "It's useless. This is caused by the miasma. Unless we withdraw from this line of defense, you will get sick no matter how far away you are."

Is this implying that even though she kept the Dragon and Tiger Camp away from the Tenth Army, she still couldn't avoid the spread of the epidemic?

Retreat is of course impossible, because behind them are the people of Cangwu. If the soldiers withdraw, what will happen to these people?

Song Jinxiu frowned. If there was no way to solve the epidemic, it would be a joke for her to take over southern Xinjiang in the shortest time possible.

Is isolation useless?

So do we have to wait until winter to attack southern Xinjiang?

No, didn't Liu Yunfei say that? There's also yellow grass miasma in winter. Since miasma exists all year round, it's the biggest obstacle to her taking over southern Xinjiang.

At night, the Tenth Army that went to attack Guishan finally returned.

When they heard that the camp had been ambushed by wolf soldiers, everyone was outraged. Fortunately, General Liu brought reinforcements, otherwise they couldn't imagine the consequences.

After the wounded were settled, all the commanders went to the big tent to discuss military affairs.

Song Jinxiu and five generals, Wang Younian, Zhao Fang, Zheng Hui, Sun Guang and Li Qun, have already taken their positions.

It is called a big tent, but in fact it is just a sunshade built with local materials such as dry grass and leaves.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the tent.

"Bah! Damn it! I was fooled by a woman."

A large general with an injured arm entered the main general's tent, cursing. He looked up and saw Su Chuan with a stern face, and couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh".

Seeing Song Jinfang wearing camouflage uniform and looking at him curiously behind Su Chuan, she was so scared that she turned over and was speechless.

The girl was leaning against a tree stump that supported the tent, and the stump was sprouting and growing green leaves.

Song Jinfang was wearing camouflage uniform and leaning against a tree stump. At first glance, it looked as if the stump had a head growing on it.

"General, she..."

What is this girl wearing? It's so scary.

He pointed at Su Chuan and Song Jinfang, wanting to ask why there were two more girls in Xiao Kuishan's camp. However, when he looked up, he saw Song Jinxiu sitting in the main seat, and he opened his mouth in amazement.

Have you been poisoned and are having hallucinations?

How come they saw a pair of golden boy and jade girl, and their commander was sitting below, talking attentively about something.

The other generals who came in also looked at the three extra people curiously.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's probably the lady-in-waiting of the Princess, who brought the cavalry battalion with her."

"Tsk tsk, such a young lady-in-waiting? What can she do?"

"What do you know? Do the ladies-in-waiting of the Princess have to work? All they have to do is make Her Highness happy every day."

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more unreasonable, Xiao Kuishan quickly scolded them, "Don't be unreasonable. Haven't you come to see Her Royal Highness the Princess yet?"

Everyone staggered in fear. "Oh my god! Is this the princess? These little soldiers on the frontier will also have the chance to see the emperor?"

Everyone quickly restrained their expressions and knelt down to kowtow, "Your subordinates, (your humble servants, humble servants, humble generals) pay their respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

People claim to be all kinds of people.

Song Jinxiu asked everyone to stand up and inquire about the battle situation.

When it comes to fighting, the generals suddenly become talkative.

"We caught a spy, and now we know we've been tricked." The short general gestured.

"I really don't understand. When the Saint of Southern Xinjiang was here, they knelt down and begged us to take them in. Now that the Saint of Southern Xinjiang is gone, damn it, they actually want to avenge that lousy Saint. Do you think they're crazy?" someone continued.

"That's right. If you ask me, no matter if they're from Southern Xinjiang, young or old, we'll kill them one by one. If they're a pair, we'll kill them both. They're not from Cangwu, so we can't be soft-hearted with them."

After Xiao Kuishan's brief explanation, Song Jinxiu finally understood why these soldiers had such complaints.

It turns out that the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang raises Gu, and every year she captures some young boys and girls to feed them.

Therefore, people from some small villages on the border often fled to Cangwu to seek refuge.

The Dingguo Army felt sorry for them, so they built several new villages in Cangwu to shelter them.

Of course, the people in these villages will become the people of Cangwu in the future.

Originally, these people were grateful to the Dingguo Army, but after the death of the Saintess of Southern Xinjiang, the people in the village split into two factions.

One faction wants to avenge the saint, while the other faction opposes revenge for the saint.

This time they attacked Guishan because two women from a village reported that the soldiers from Guishan had captured people from their village for making medicine.

But as soon as they left, the two women went to Panlong Village to inform on the matter.

If Song Jinxiu had not arrived with 5,000 cavalrymen, the more than 10,000 people left here would have been in danger.

All of this was learned from the prisoners' mouths during interrogation.

Song Jinxiu was even more confused and asked, "Since they are the people persecuted by the Saint, why do they want to avenge the Saint of Southern Xinjiang? Isn't this a contradiction?"

Xiao Kuishan sighed and said, "The reason why the Southern Border Saint is so popular among the people of Southern Border is because she not only raises Gu, but she can also detoxify.

Your Highness may not know that the village in southern Xinjiang asks for holy water from the Saint of Southern Xinjiang every year and sprays the holy water around the village so that they can avoid the harm of the poison.

Even those who escaped were protected by the holy water through their former relatives. Now they feel that without the saint, they have lost their protection, so…"

Oh? Holy water can eliminate poison?

Song Jinxiu looked at Xiao Kuishan and asked, "General Xiao, have you ever seen holy water? Can you find a way to get some?"

If she could get some holy water, she could see what it was and maybe even imitate it.

The short general who had spoken first said, "I'm afraid this is going to be difficult. The Saint is dead, and the holy water is only available in the larger villages, but it's hard to get in the larger villages."

It means "After the saint died, the holy water was only available in the big villages, but it was hard to get in the big villages."

Song Jinxiu heard his accent and asked, "Is this general a local? Think of a way. If I can get holy water, maybe I can make it."

The small general scratched his head. "I won't risk my life. I've gotten it before. But no one has been able to replicate it."

"Okay, you try your best. It would be best if you can get it, but don't force it if you can't." Song Jinxiu nodded.

Song Jinxiu's mind was still on the epidemic. She turned to ask Xiao Kuishan,

"General Xiao, please have someone write down for me the symptoms of the soldiers' illness in detail. The more detailed, the better."

She is not a doctor, and all her medical knowledge is just common sense. So when she encounters something she doesn't understand, she can only look up information on the space computer based on the symptoms.

Xiao Kuishan quickly ordered someone to do it.

Song Jinxiu then pointed at Song Jinfang and said, "I saw the green armor on the wolf soldiers today, and made this camouflage uniform. Generals, take a look. Wearing this kind of clothes, walking through the jungle, will it make you more concealed?"

"Oh, it's too strong. I didn't see his body when I came in just now. I only saw his big white face." The big general said hurriedly.

Everyone: What are you looking at? The child has a small face, how can you say he has a big white face?

Big guy: What if you only see a face? No matter how small it is, it will still seem as big as a millstone!
