Nanxiang was in chaos, the powerful were drunk and dreaming, and countless male poets scolded these big shots with the words "Business women don't know how to hate the country's subjugation", but the people at the bottom were still hungry.

On May 25th, Wang Fei led his army into Nanxiang, and the surrounding princely states sent troops to jointly attack Nanxiang.

The old emperor was not dead yet, and Su Bai held the emperor's life in his hands. In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao used the emperor's power to control the princes. However, King Pingyang, who was far away in Shu, did not accept this trick and just stood by and watched.

Although the Yunchuan army conducted daily exercises on the water, it was still no match for the Nanxiang army, which knew how to swim on water from birth. Wang Fei ordered the army to stay where they were.

On the third day, a large-scale plague broke out in the army, causing vomiting and diarrhea. Wang Fei took people to find the source and found that someone was poisoning upstream of the drinking water source, so he arrested the man.

Before he even started asking, a big hole was made in his neck and a big caterpillar crawled out.

The head was covered with black down, and a pair of serrated mouths were chewing human flesh, feasting on it. The man fell to the ground, and there was still a wooden barrel at hand.

Zang Fou, who was passing by, stepped forward, with the grass touching his knees, and used his sword to pick out the weeds beside the bucket. He was shocked to see that in the bucket, there were countless blood-red filament-like worms twisted together into a small group, as if they would explode in full bloom. Filament fireworks.

"Gu worms in Nanxiang. When I first arrived here, I saw many widows here raising gu worms at home. There are also special wizards in the army raising gu worms. It seems that someone is deliberately trying to kill us."

Wang Fei had a sullen face. He seemed to have encountered Gu insects before, but at that time, Suba was leading the army. Suba was well prepared, so he was naturally not afraid.

"What kind of poison is this? It's different from what I've seen before."

He picked out a ball with the tip of his sword and threw it on the man.

Immediately, the man burst out with a final roar. Although it was not loud, it sounded miserable. After a while, Hong Si'er ate him until he was left with only a skeleton, with some pink and white meat stuck to the white bones.

There are still some big caterpillars swarming in the abdominal cavity and spleen, and the blood is gushing and they are eating away.

Many of the soldiers who followed started vomiting.

Wang Fei also turned pale. Five people in the army had already been poisoned. If he didn't think of a solution, it would be very difficult for him to capture Nanxiang this time.

"General Zang, you have been stationed in Nanxiang for many years. You must have some connections of your own. How should we solve this situation?"

Wang Fei asked Zang Bo.

"Poisons live in water sources, so don't drink raw water directly. Boil all the water. As for the soldiers who have been poisoned, isolate them immediately and separate them from uninfected soldiers. There are some tribes around Nanxiang, and there will be elderly wizards there who know how to remove them. Poison."

Wang Fei narrowed his eyes, "I see, I hope General Zang will endure some hardships and lead people to find a prescription to remove the poison. I, Wang, was careless this time."

Subai had never seen it through before, and only believed that an old man had some advice.

After getting along with each other for decades, Wang Fei has clearly seen that Subai is cold, ruthless, extremely paranoid, and likes to play with authority, but he is also the most inoffensive person.

Three days later, Zang Fu returned to the camp alone with the prescription and reported it to Wang Fei.

"First take a part of the test medicine. If the effect is significant, then feed it in large quantities to the soldiers who have been poisoned."

Wang Fei looked at the medicinal materials in the pharmacy. Each one was expensive. Although the boiled medicine could be boiled nine times, it would cost a lot of money because so many people in the army were infected.

He gritted his teeth and prepared a note to buy the medicinal materials. When it got dark, the condition of the first batch of soldiers who tested the medicine had improved. Wang Fei was overjoyed and ordered everyone to go to the market to buy medicinal materials in bulk with the prescriptions.

There is Yaowang Valley in Nanxiang, and it is surrounded by markets selling medicinal materials. It is not difficult to buy medicinal materials, and the price is cheaper because it is close to the place of origin.

Soldiers who bought medicine encountered obstacles one after another and could not buy medicinal materials. All the vendors said that those medicinal materials were on the unique sales list of Yaowang Valley and could only be found there.

If you want to buy it, you have to go to Yaowang Valley in Nanxiang.

Wang Fei was so angry that he threw things, "Then why are they still being sold this morning?"

The soldier trembled, "The medicine seller happens to be the young master of Yaowang Valley. We went to look for her, but we could never find her. We asked all the vendors in the market, but they didn't know the whereabouts of the woman."

Zang Fu saw Wang Fei getting angry and stepped in to stop him from continuing to get angry.

"Wang Shuai, the most important thing at this time is to buy medicinal materials. I will think of a way to lead people to surround the market. Every year around May, it is the season for selling medicinal materials in Yaowang Valley. If you stay here and watch, you can always meet someone. the second time."

Wang Fei had blue veins on his forehead and held his forehead, "Okay."

……

Yang Guanyin is sitting in a wheelchair. In front of her is a pile of herbs spread on gray cloth. They are green and green, and the roots are wrapped in moss to provide moisture and keep the herbs fresh.

Bo Luohui liked the snacks outside Nanxiang very much. He was holding a bamboo bowl cut out of bamboo, with spicy stinky tofu in his chopsticks. It was spicy and delicious, with a lot of green coriander sprinkled on it.

She squatted on the side, sweating profusely from eating, and her mouth was red. The vendor was an older woman, and she handed Bo Luo back a glass of water.

When he came back, Bo Luohui asked for another glass of water and brought a piece of stinky tofu without coriander to Yang Guanyin.

These days, both of them are selling medicinal materials here.

Yang Guanyin received the information from Kang Hu that Wang Fei's army had silk-like poison and needed these medicinal materials to cure it.

"Young Pavilion Master, try it. This stuff smells bad and tastes delicious. It's dark and tastes bad."

Bo Luohui smiled brightly, and Yang Guanyin on the other side was also very happy.

She held the bamboo bowl and ate big chunks of stinky tofu. Southern Hunan was humid, and people liked to eat spicy food to get rid of the moisture, such as this lethal amount of chili.

When Zang Fu found the two of them, Yang Guanyin was eating the last piece of stinky tofu.

"...Miss, how are you still alive?"

Su Baitong told him that Su Yaoqin disappeared on the way to worship Buddha and died without a body. Later, Su San did not say anything and ran to Quanzhou to join the army.

Yang Guanyin was stunned by Zang Feo's surprise, but she quickly reacted and said to him with a smile: "General Zang Feo, now that I have also left Shuntian Hou Mansion, I am no longer the adopted daughter there. I prefer to hear people call me." His original name was Yang Nu, or Wang Xiaozi, Guanyin."

The words separated the relationship between the two, from familiarity to unfamiliarity, and cut off Zang Fu's next attempt at intimacy.

"This...a few days ago, this person pretended to be the young master of Yaowang Valley. Since your surname is Yang, is it possible that you are the granddaughter of Yang Xiangsi who lives abroad?"

This shocked Zang Fu for a hundred years.

He originally thought that his adopted daughter was a beggar, ordinary and lowly, and it was because of Subai's mercy that she had a bite to eat.

Bo Luo rolled his eyes and said very rudely, "Hey, big man, why are you talking to our young master?"

It was also by chance that Yang Guanyin was feeling uncomfortable alone in the house. After leaving Shuntian Hou Mansion, she seemed to have broken free from invisible shackles. Under Yang Xiangsi's indulgence and protection, she let go of her wildness and fell in love with freedom. She never wanted to be free again. I am willing to put myself into an impenetrable cage.

Zang Fu looked at the herbs on the ground, cupped his fists and saluted Yang Guanyin.

"Young Master, please show mercy and sell these herbs to me."

Yang Guanyin smiled contemptuously. It was still dawn, the sun was not strong, and there was shade everywhere.

"You can sell it, but I want to sell it twice as much. In the past years when there was a famine in Jinzhong, the wealthy families bought grain at a low price and sold old rice at a high price, so I will sell you this grass."

She smiled evilly, causing Zang Fei to draw a knife and threaten her.

"I advise you, young master, not to drink wine as a penalty. Now the imperial court has launched a war against Nanxiang. Although Yaowang Valley is deep in the mountains and forests, if you burn it with fire, you will run out of ammunition and food in just a few months."

Yang Guanyin raised her eyebrows, finished the stinky tofu in her mouth, and wiped the red sauce from the corners of her mouth with her handkerchief.

He hissed and breathed in cold air from time to time.

"Bo Luohui, he is cruel to me."

Bo Luo came back to the rescue and waited for Yang Guanyin to speak. Within a moment, three diamond-shaped darts opened a knife, and one of them was stuck in Zang Feo's hair.

The man who seemed to have a good temper just wanted to show off as a good person in front of his subordinates. Once he was in front of a woman, he immediately became an irritable maniac, even more irritable than Wang Fei who had tried to dissuade her before.

What kind of birdman are you? Dare you be cruel to our young master? If you act one more cruelly, I will make your intestines pierce and rotten, turning you into a puddle of meat paste. "

Bo Luohui pulled out her Huanshou knife from behind. Her hand was wrapped in a bandage, so she could hold the knife just right.

The soldiers brought by Zang Fu had dispersed and were far away from each other. He did not show his request for support. He gritted his teeth and had no choice but to bow to Yang Guanyin.

"How many pills do you have?"

There is no way, during a famine, the lives of the people are not their lives. Only when the people make a fuss will the court take it seriously and be forced to solve the troublesome aristocratic families and force them to spit out food.

Even if he doesn't want to suffer any loss, he still needs these medicinal materials for fighting.

Yang Guanyin smiled like a fox. She stretched out her hand with five fingers.

"Five hundred taels of gold. It will be ready within three days and delivered here. We will not wait if it is late."

Zang Fu had no room for bargaining in front of the strong woman, and was controlled by her.

I had no choice but to go back in despair and discuss it with Wang Fei.

Wang Fei expected it to be three hundred taels of silver, but he didn't expect that Yang Guanyin really dared to ask for it. The lion opened his mouth and offered five hundred taels of gold.

He felt pain in his body.

"Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a turn for the better. The medicinal materials you brought back last time can be boiled eight more times. Just add more water and let them drink it. Although the efficacy of the medicine may be less, it is still better than nothing."

He held his forehead with one hand and said, "I'll think about buying medicine again."

Zang Chu could tell that he was hurting. To be honest, he was also worried about money. They were both military generals, so they naturally knew that taking this path meant risking their lives to gain a future.

"Learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family." They were not willing to give up the money they had exchanged for their lives.

Even if it's not supposed to be theirs.

……

As night falls, the river bank is full of frogs chirping and fireflies flying all over the sky.

The market turns into a night market, with all kinds of goods on display, food and entertainment, dazzling and brightly lit.

This place happened to be close to Shu. King Pingyang did not send troops, so a piece of paradise was left in the cracks.

Yang Guanyin was sitting in a wheelchair, enjoying the evening breeze. She stopped in front of a bracelet shop.

The boss wears a fox mask, is all white, and has a string of skeleton bodhis hanging around his neck. He wears a pair of white gloves when dealing with others. It seems that he is particularly shady.

"How can I sell these beads?"

Yang Guanyin holds a string of white stone beads.

The boss smiled from the corner of his mask and his voice was hoarse.

"Beads ground from sea turtles are very cheap. If you like them, put them on the red coral bracelet and I'll buy them for nine cents."

Bo Luo Hui was excited to see it, but she also instinctively felt that the person in front of her was dangerous and mysterious, like a murderous maniac in the world who had no true identity.

She was alert.

Yang Guanyin pulled the purse on her body and counted nine copper coins.

"Don't give it away. If you still have friends who like it, bring it to my place next time and I'll give you a 20% discount."

The boss smiled.

Yang Guanyin took the box containing the bracelet. There was a mezzanine inside, which contained slightly heavier items.

She opened it and saw that it was the tiger charm in Yingxi's hand, something that could mobilize the Nanxiang army.

Lian Ji has succeeded.

"Bo Luohui, I know the boss."

Yang Guanyin handed the tiger charm to Bo Luohui and told her to put it away properly. She pinched the two bracelets and finally chose to put them away and hide them in the box.

No matter how beautiful it is, it cannot be considered acceptable. A cage is a cage and a bondage is a bondage. You cannot choose to step into it just because it is decorated beautifully.

"Young Master, is he Kang Hu?"

Bo Luohui was a little unfamiliar with the name Kang Hu, but as she thought about it again and again, she suddenly remembered that the murderer's real name seemed to be Kang Lianyuan or something.

Obsessed with exterminating families, he always likes to wear white clothes when killing people. Every time he kills a family, he adds a Buddha bead ground from human bones to the Bodhi.

Yang Guanyin nodded and followed Bo Luo back to the inn where he was staying.

"I have known him for a long time. At that time, he was not like this. He was very nice. Next time you see him, you don't need to be as nervous as tonight. You are my friend and he will not attack you. "

She tells her not to be afraid of Kanghu.

"Young master, how did you get to know this murderous maniac? I'm curious. He is such a weirdo and moody, but he actually has a good friend like you, young master. He is really lucky to have cultivated in several lives."

Bo Luohui admired the young master very much. In her eyes, Yang Guanyin was the smartest person besides the Valley Master. She was capable and had a good temper. Although she was evil, she was not a good person.

Of course I like it very much.

That is, as it is commonly called, a kindred spirit.

"At that time, the Hidden Sword Villa had not been surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court, Liu Miaomiao was still alive, and Kang Hu's mother was also still alive. Their family of three lived in a paradise, and they had envied me for a long time. When I met him, he was still a wealthy young man, and I asked Where is he, my mother, he shows me the way.”

The person talking about it was naturally Yang Guanyin, who was six years old, and was looking for Yang Yuwen who came to Lin Shengbing at the poison door to ask for an explanation.

Bo Luohui was an orphan and was abandoned by his family. There is a tradition in Nanxiang that the first child born to a woman must be a boy. Otherwise, it will bring bad luck to the family. To resolve it, the baby girl must be thrown into the river. drowning.

When Yang Xiangsi picked her up, she didn't even have a swaddling cloth to wrap her in. She was just wrapped in taro leaves and was supported by a big fish, which barely saved her from drowning.

She couldn't understand Yang Guanyin's longing for his mother, and Yang Guanyin had never revealed it to outsiders.

"He was quite a good person at that time."

Bo Luohui gave a response.

Yang Guanyin smiled slightly and ate the porridge in the bowl.

"Kang Hu was innocent and romantic at that time. He carried a wooden sword on his back every day and acted chivalrously. Bullies in the Yunchuan countryside would shy away when they saw him. He was very popular with girls, and everyone liked to follow him."

Bo Luohui poured spicy clam heads into the porridge, stirred it with a spoon, and it turned red instantly.

She carefully covered the porcelain jar tightly. This was the bibimbap treasure she would bring with her every time she went out. The most delicious pickle in Yaowang Valley was the spicy clam head.

"He became the person he is now, maybe because he suffered too much. I heard that the imperial court ransacked his family and razed the Hidden Sword Villa. Liu Piaomiao was accused by the imperial court in order to save the people in the villa. All the Liu family members were Dead. It seems that Liu Pianmiao still reconciled with his wife..."

When Bo Luo said this, his mind was stuck, as if he remembered something, but he couldn't remember it immediately, and it was stuck in his mind, like a little bit of wet cotton.

"His whole life was like a clay sculpture that was stuffed into a mold. It was originally a tiger, but its bones were broken and it was shaped into a cat."

Although Yang Guanyin said this, he did not feel sorry for Kang Hu.

In the corner, a big black snake hissed and spit out snake bites, crawled over, followed Yang Guanyin's hand, climbed all the way up her body, and used its cold body to cool her down.

"A cowardly man was afraid that his daughter would not be able to inherit the family business, so he made her into a boy and raised his daughter in the same way as a son. In the end, the daughter inherited the family business and became the head of the family. From then on, her descendants were also Forced to repeat her clay sculptures.”

Liu Piaomiao is actually a woman.

This is a secret that only Kang Hu and Yang Guanyin know.

That year, Liu's father died, and Liu Mingmiao, who pretended to be a man, inherited the Hidden Sword Villa.

The family motto is that martial arts are passed down from male to female, and family property is passed down from male to female. All daughters are thrown away, which makes me laugh. Father Liu did not have a son until his death.

Bo Luo clapped his hands back, and the memory was like a key inserted into the keyhole, pushing away the darkness behind him and seeing the light behind the door.

"I'm just telling you how I remember that the child that Liu Miaomiao and his wife took away seemed to be a female doll. How come Kang Hu is said to be Liu Miaomiao's descendant in the world."

She continued, "It turns out that Kang Hu is a girl. She didn't take Liu Miaomiao's surname as Liu. She should take her mother's surname of Kang. Kang..."

"Her mother Kang Le was originally a princess of a small country. When her country was destroyed, she was brought back to the Yun Kingdom as a prize. By chance, she got married to Liu Miaomiao.

She was the only female heir of that small country. Her elder brother was the prince, and her head was beheaded by Su Bai. She wanted to restore the country, but all the old tribes thought she couldn't do it. "

Yang Guanyin finished the porridge and watched Bo Luo go back to clear the table.

"They all feel that restoring the country is a matter for men and women should not participate. Even if Kang Le is the only living heir of the country, they feel that she is not qualified to restore the country. They abandoned Kang Le and chose another man from the clan. "

Bo Luohui probably understood why Kanghu wanted to dress up as a man.

It turns out there is such a connection.

“At first, they would refute each other, but in the end, they couldn’t resist everyone’s voices, and became submissive, acquiescing to their principles, and giving up their own persistence.

Kang Le also became the same group of people as before. She also felt that since she was not a male heir, she could not avenge her family. "

She felt depressed that all the people working in Yaowang Valley were women. From the moment they were born, they had lived in an environment where all women were present.

She didn't understand why some people thought women were bad even though there were many excellent women.

"If people are depressed for a long time, they will become perverted. Men like them pervert first, then become infected with Kangle, and finally create lunatics like Kang Hu."

Yang Guanyin was holding a cup of Longjing tea. She didn't drink it, she just held it in her hand and liked to touch the bamboo relief on the tea cup.

"It's getting late, and Zang Hou is not ready to send money yet, so we will sell the medicinal materials to others."

She led the topic to the battlefield.

"Corrupt officials like them probably won't be willing to spend so much money to buy medicine for soldiers."

Bo Luohui told what he saw and heard.

In the eyes of the powerful, the lives of the common people are as cheap as grass. If one person dies, there will be another one, in an endless stream.
