Chapter 185: Poisonous smoke seals the road

After listening to Mashaduo talking for a long time, but there was nothing more useful, Yan Qing interrupted her and asked: "How many people are they?"

Masado frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "There are more than four thousand people."

"four thousand?"

Yan Qing was horrified.

Yan Qi told her before that there might be five thousand poisonous people in the Qiang country, but she already found it unbelievable.

But now Masado said that Wen Zhemao borrowed more than 4,000 poisonous people from the Qiang country!

If Mashaduo didn't lie, the Qiang Imperial Court would have dispatched more than 7,000 poisonous people in this battle!

As the poisonous people are the trump card of the Qiang imperial court, they will definitely not all be sent abroad.

In other words, the total number of poisonous people cultivated in the imperial court of the Qiang Kingdom will be more than seven or eight thousand, and may even be nearly ten thousand!

This means that at least 30,000 people, nearly one-fifth of the Qiang country's population, will die tragically.

How dare the leader of the Qiang Kingdom?!

The people are the foundation of the country, so you spend so much financial and material resources to fill up such a huge population just for a poisonous army that will not survive very long?

Yan Qing found it unbelievable, and the anger in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

However, this is just the beginning.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that Harry Hun once said before his death that Wen Zhemao let poisonous people onto the tower."

After a moment of silence, Masado suddenly spoke up, "Your people are very dangerous."

Yan Qing thought of the gunpowder smoke on the tower of the west city gate. Except for the poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, and corpses scattered everywhere, no one was seen on the tower.

Before the war started, she had seen Baizhu in the distance.

She originally thought they had briefly withdrawn to recuperate after the First World War.

But now that I think about it, Wen Zhemao has led his people to withdraw from the North City Gate. What else can be scary about the West City Gate?

Now, the answer is obvious.

Poisonous people!

Among the Xirong soldiers captured by Yan Qing and others, there was no trace of poisonous people.

This also means that those poisonous people, more than 4,000 poisonous people, are all at the West Gate!

Yan Qing's pupils shrank suddenly, he turned around suddenly, got on his horse, pulled the reins of the horse, and shouted to the troops who were setting up defenses: "Gao Li, take your men and follow me!"

"Got the order!"

A beautiful female general responded loudly, turning to call her subordinates, "Mount the horse!"

As he spoke, Gao Li got on his horse, flicked his whip, and chased Yan Qing, who had left first.

A cavalry team of more than 500 people left the team and quickly and orderly chased Yan Qing towards the west gate.

However, as soon as we arrived at Middle Street, we met a group of people.

When Li Tong saw Yan Qing, his eyes lit up: "Little general!"

Yan Qing reined in his horse, looked at Li Tong and others holding a large pile of medicinal materials, and asked: "What are you doing? How is the battle situation on the city tower? Where is the marshal?"

Yan Qing answered several questions one after another, and Li Tong took a breath before saying: "The poisonous people went up to the tower, and the marshal asked us to take a secret passage to the city to collect realgar, sulfur and other insect-repellent things, saying they can drive away poisonous insects and poisonous snakes."

"The marshal is still on the tower?"

Yan Qing's heart suddenly became suspicious.

Li Tong nodded, his voice urgent and fast: "The marshal said he would not withdraw, he said he wanted to take the opportunity to annihilate all the poisoners..."

Before Li Tong finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and Yan Qing's figure was no longer in front of him.

Gao Li and others, who were following closely behind Yan Qing, quickly rode up to catch up.

When Li Tong saw this, he quickly called his men and ran to the city gate with the medicinal materials.

When he arrived at the west gate, looking at the tragic city towers, Yan Qingle stopped his horse and looked around, but there was no sign of a living person.

After driving his horse to the city gate, Yan Qing discovered that thick smoke billowed out from the exit of the garrison station leading to the city gate.

The entire doorway is a human wall made of corpses.

The bright red blood, whose surface had been scorched by thick smoke, exuded an unpleasant odor.

Yan Qing walked closer, but a man rushed out from the thorn and stopped her.

"Master, don't go any further."

Hong Ying covered his mouth and nose and stopped in front of Yan Qing. He said to Yan Qing calmly, "There are poisonous people among these people. The smoke emitted after the poisonous blood is burned is also poisonous."

Yan Qing lowered his eyes and looked at Hongying.

Hongying took off his mask.

It was only such a short period of contact, but his lips were already purple, and there was something like a black gossamer on his face that was slowly spreading.

Yan Qing watched calmly, his knuckles creaking as he pinched the horse's belly, and he lightly tapped the horse's belly with his soap boots before retreating back.

Gao Li and others stopped behind Yan Qing and heard Hong Ying's words clearly. They immediately wetted their sweat towels with water and covered their mouths and noses to prevent inhalation of toxic fumes.

Gao Li even drove his horse to Yan Qing's side, wanting to remind Yan Qing, but he saw her looking at the tower with deep eyes, her eyes red, her delicate facial features distorted with anger, but she hid unspeakable sorrow.

It was an indescribable feeling. He was obviously an extremely angry person, but a lonely sadness could be seen at a glance.

Gao Li hesitated for a moment, then handed the wet face towel to Yan Qing and called softly: "Little general..."

Yan Qing came back to his senses, slowly loosened the tight reins, took the towel and tied it on, then looked up at the tower until he heard the chaotic footsteps behind him.

When he turned around, he saw Li Tong and others running hurriedly, but stopped when they saw the situation at the city gate.

But soon, a man suddenly threw away the medicinal materials in his hand and rushed over shouting.

"Stop him."

Yan Qing ordered in a deep voice.

In fact, before Yan Qing could say anything, someone had already stepped forward, scooped up the rushing water, and drove Li Tong and the others away from the city gate.

Immediately, Yan Qing turned to look at Hong Ying and asked, "Have you gone to see it on the tower?"

Hong Ying paused and nodded: "The secret passage has been sealed. King Shu was knocked unconscious in the secret passage. The situation is not very good."

Yan Qing's loosened hand tightened again, her heart sank, and her thin lips moved for a long time before she made a sound, but she was so mute: "Is he still alive?"

"Still breathing."

Hongying spoke vaguely.

However, just such a sentence made Yan Qing's tears roll down suddenly.

Yan Qing quickly brushed his face, crying and laughing, but quickly calmed down.

Even people who can only see her back can clearly feel her happiness at this moment.

Hongying looked at Yan Qing like this, the master who had always been strong and seemed to be able to handle anything, but at this moment, she felt weak for no reason, as if just one word was enough to crush her.

He's not sure.

Hongying opened his mouth and then closed it, without saying anything more specific about Meng Shulan's situation at this time.

He was afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would be immediately defeated.

Yan Qing also seemed to understand that after she learned that Meng Shulan was still alive, she chose to avoid talking about his situation.

"Go up to the tower."

Yan Qing dismounted and said to Gao Li.

"You can't walk on the secret passage."

Hongying reminded Yan Qing, "Poisonous smoke."

Yan Qing, who was about to turn over and dismount, froze and almost fell off the horse.

Facing Yan Qing's lifeless eyes, Hongying turned his eyes away, pursed his lips and said: "I have brought Prince Shu down, do you want to go and take a look first?"
