The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Shen Luofan walked out of the pharmacy smelling of medicine, bringing news that was neither good nor bad.

He developed a semi-finished antidote.

In other words, taking it on time can temporarily suppress the toxicity in Lu Xiuyuan's body, preventing it from recurring or getting worse, but it cannot completely detoxify him.

"How long will this medicine last?" Xia Younan took the pill from Shen Luofan's hand with trembling hands.

Shen Luofan shook his head and sighed, "In about half a year, the prince's body will most likely develop drug resistance, and the poison will recur, and this medicine... will be useless."

"Is there no way to completely remove the poison from his body?" Xia Younan's eyes were filled with tears, and she felt extremely distressed.

Shen Luofan consoled her, "Don't worry, I will continue to work hard and try to develop a real antidote within half a year."

Xia Younan let out a breath and had to compromise. He poured a pill from the bottle and fed it into Lu Xiuyuan's mouth.

Lu Xiuyuan swallowed the pill, put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, "Don't worry, Younan, I promised you that I would stay with you forever, and I won't go back on my word."

"Yeah." Xia Younan threw herself into his arms, her eyes as red as a little rabbit.

The medicine given by Shen Luofan was indeed very effective. Lu Xiuyuan took it on time, and his body became just like a normal person, without any feeling of poison in his body.

After he recovered from his illness, he reorganized the three armies, had weapons remade, and prepared to lead his troops to continue attacking cities and seizing territories.

As for Xia Younan, he still couldn't bear to let her suffer, so he asked her to bring her people back to Beijing and wait for him.

Before he could finish his words, his young wife scolded him and almost beat him up. He was so scared that he didn't dare to mention it again.

Well, just follow her. I will protect her with my life!

Just when everyone thought that things would proceed as planned, something unexpected happened again.

The spy planted by Lingjiang State in Zhujing State sent a letter saying that Zhujing State had suffered a series of defeats and was short of troops. Therefore, Ye Beimo led a team of troops to Tang City, a hundred miles away, to ask the Lord of Tang City to borrow 100,000 troops.

After hearing the news, Lu Xiuyuan attached great importance to it and summoned his subordinates to the conference room overnight to discuss countermeasures.

"What is the origin of Tang City? Which country does it belong to?" Xia Younan asked Lu Xiuyuan.

The Tang Kingdom must be something extraordinary to be able to gain such attention from my husband.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at her and introduced Tang Cheng to them with a serious expression.

According to him, Tang City does not belong to any country, it is an independent city. But the city covers an area of ​​more than two million square kilometers, comparable to a small country.

In terms of land area and population, Tangcheng is not as good as Lingjiang Kingdom and Zhujing Kingdom, but in terms of strength, Tangcheng is not weaker than the two countries.

This is also the reason why it has been able to remain independent and stable for so long without any country daring to object.

Legend has it that all the masters in Tang City, from the city lord to the farmers, regardless of gender, age or status, all know martial arts!

They regard martial arts as a part of life. Children start practicing martial arts at the age of three and have to go through thousands of tests and duels in their lifetime.

Moreover, their city defense weapons are also very powerful. I heard that they have a weapon which is a large hollow iron cylinder with a thickened firecracker fuse at the back.

As long as the fuse is ignited with fire, a big iron ball will be shot out from one end of the iron tube. The big iron ball will explode as soon as it hits the ground, and can kill a large area of ​​the enemy thousands of miles away.

After listening to his story, Xia Younan blinked, looked at Zenmu beside him, and whispered: "Big Brother, why do I feel that what he described seems to be... a cannon?"

Zenmu was stunned, twitched his lips, and replied: "Impossible? How can there be cannons in this era of cold weapons?"

"I don't know, very similar." Xia Younan curled her lips and continued to listen to Lu Xiuyuan.

Lu Xiuyuan sighed sadly and said, "With all the experts and powerful heavy weapons, such a powerful city, if we surrender to Ye Beimo, we will face immeasurable disasters."

"This..." Several generals in the army were puzzled after hearing his story. They looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"But the war between our two countries has nothing to do with Tang City. They are living well and should not be easily involved in the dispute, right?" Xia Younan comforted.

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head. "It's hard to say. Since Ye Beimo went there in person, he must have made a perfect plan. He has always been insidious and cunning. If he uses some tricks to make the Lord of Tang City agree to lend troops, it will be very bad."

"So, we have to stop the Lord of Tang City from lending him troops?" Xia Younan asked.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned, pondered for a long time, slapped the table, and made a decision, "Pack your things, and rush to Tang City as fast as you can tomorrow morning. We must not let Ye Beimo succeed in borrowing troops!"

After discussion, because the matter was of great importance, Lu Xiuyuan decided to temporarily hand over the military affairs to Su Yu and Chen Yi, and he went to Tang City in person to meet the Lord of Tang City.

Xia Younan would definitely follow, and the helpers who would go with him included Chan Mu, Qu Xiaoyou, Zhu Lixiong Fei.

Without saying much, the few of them didn't even sleep, and hurried back to the room to pack their belongings. At dawn, they rode fast horses and left Fuyang City.

--------

Outside Tang City.

Tang City is a mountain city, surrounded by mountains outside the city, which rise and fall one after another, stretching as far as the eye can see, like layers of giant waves rolling in the sea.

On the avenue leading to the city gate, a team led by Ye Beimo was moving slowly forward.

"What a deep mountain!" Ye Yuqing, who was traveling with us, couldn't help but sigh out loud as he looked at the dark green mountains around him.

Ye Beimo glanced at her, his face gloomy and he said nothing.

The hatred of a broken arm, the defeat in Fuyang City, the pain of losing a sister, the bad news came one after another, making the already unpredictable Ye Beimo even more gloomy.

He was like a dormant, vicious scorpion, with its poisonous sting erected high, ready to sting someone to death at any time.

Ye Yuqing was frightened by his eyes and her heart trembled. She couldn't help but pull the reins and deliberately keep some distance from him.

She admitted that she was afraid of Ye Beimo, even though they were in the same camp.

Ever since Lu Xiuyuan chopped off one of his arms, he has become extremely gloomy and manic.

I still remember what happened a few days ago in the palace. Just because a palace maid accidentally splashed a drop of water onto his sleeve when pouring water, he drew his sword and chopped off the maid's head without saying a word.

Almost every day, he would kill a few people to vent his anger...

"Don't talk too much about unimportant things." Ye Baijiang, who was traveling with him on the other side, winked at Ye Yuqing.

Ye Yuqing lowered her head and obeyed.

"It's not insignificant." Ye Beimo's voice came without a trace of emotion.

He looked back at the team behind him and said in a slightly louder voice: "Tang City has stood among these mountains for a hundred years, relying on the mountains for their livelihood. The residents of the city believe that it is the surrounding mountains that nurtured them and worship the mountains as gods.

"They also built a temple for the mountain god, and people would go there to offer sacrifices during every festival. The mountain god is their belief, and everyone believes in it."

"So, remember this, everyone. When you enter the city, watch your mouths. Don't say anything about the mountain, and don't question the existence of the mountain god. If you make a mistake and anger the city lord, you will all die!"

"Yes." All his subordinates said yes.
