Long before Dugu Tianqing took office in the Northern Territory, he had learned about the poisonous poison in the Southern Border through the information channels of the Dugu family.

But when he actually encountered it, he truly realized how powerful the poison was. It was even more powerful than what was recorded in the information he had received.

He has understood that although he seems to be fine now, he is actually terminally ill, but he can still rely on his martial arts training and willpower to hold on.

He wrote to Zhao Wujiang out of his complete trust in Zhao Wujiang, rather than Zhao Wujiang's superb medical skills.

In his opinion, although Zhao Wujiang has superb medical skills, he should be helpless in the face of this unknown poison that is more violent and difficult to get rid of.

The reason why he wanted Zhao Wujiang to come to the north was simply because he hoped that Zhao Wujiang could use the elixir he had given him to suppress the poison in his body.

Even if it cannot be lifted, as long as it is suppressed and delayed, allowing him to survive for a few more months, guard the border for a while longer, protect the safety of the people of Jubei City, and protect Daxia behind him from intrusion, that would be enough.

Because if the Prairie Royal Court does not attack Daxia in these months, then if it chooses to attack Daxia later, Daxia should be able to completely free up its hands to deal with the Prairie Royal Court with all its strength.

And if the Prairie Royal Court chooses to attack Daxia in the near future, then Dugu Tianqing will definitely fight to the end, do his last bit, and shed his last drop of blood.

After surviving these few months, even if Dugu Tianqing hadn't gotten rid of the poison by then, what would be the harm if he died like that?

Although life and death are impermanent, he can choose how to live and how to die.

Compared with Dugu Tianqing's calmness and ambition, the other people in the military tent who knew the truth were worried.

For example, Song Zhang, Lieutenant of Jubei Military Academy.

Song Zhang, a native of Lanzhou, Daxia, was a veteran of the Jubei City Guards.

After many years of hard work on the battlefield, he finally became a colonel a few years ago and served as the general's adjutant.

He has been in the army for more than ten years and has followed two generals, one is the former General Zhao, and the other is General Dugu who is currently in the palace of the city lord.

The former General Zhao fell ill in the late spring of this year, no, it was already Jiazi, it should have been last year. In the late spring of last year, General Zhao fell ill and died in Jubei City not long after.

At that time, both soldiers and civilians in Jubeicheng were in mourning, and a mutiny almost occurred in the army.

Fortunately, the newly appointed General Dugu arrived early and had iron-blooded skills. He came to Jubei City and stabilized the morale of the army.

But Song Zhang didn't expect that General Dugu had also been murdered some time ago and was poisoned.

He was one of the few insiders who knew that General Dugu's poison had not been eliminated and was still wreaking havoc every day and night. The two military doctors and the few trusted doctors in Jubei City worked together to diagnose and treat him, but they were helpless.

He, Song Zhang, could only watch helplessly as General Dugu put on a brave face during the day and suffered silently at night. I am afraid that if this continues, it won't be long before the soldiers and people of Jubei City will see the fall of another general.

Song Zhang couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the Great Xia Dynasty was about to run out of energy? That's why it was so unlucky every year?

He became more and more worried, worried about the general's physical condition, worried about the impulsive behavior of General Zhao Yansi, and worried about the turmoil that might occur in the army once the general fell.

But he is just a warrior, a soldier. He seems to be unable to do anything but worry.

He could only follow General Dugu's instructions and send people to patrol the south gate of Jubei City every day to wait for people from the court who might arrive.

General Dugu once told him privately that a man from the imperial court would come to Jubei City, and he would be asked to personally bring this man to the city lord's general's residence inconspicuously.

Song Zhang asked about the man's characteristics, and General Dugu simply told him that his surname was Zhao. As for his characteristics, he was handsome.

He didn't say anything at the time but was thinking in his mind, how handsome can a man be?

Can he be so handsome that he, Song Zhang, can be amazed?

Impossible! He doesn’t like men, he likes women with big breasts and perky butts.
