After resting for a while, Guo Ziyi stood up and gently stroked Hui Lu's head. The reins on his neck had been broken, and there were scars on his neck from the reins. It must have broken the reins when it saw that Li Bai and Guo Ziyi were kidnapped that night, and followed him all the way to Tuoluo Hall. Guo Ziyi was extremely touched. If Hui Lu wasn't outside, he and Li Bai would have been caught by the men of the Tuoluo Hall after a short while.
"Hui Lu has made a great contribution. When you come back and find a place to stay, I'll let you eat as much good grass as you want!”Guo Ziyi said with a smile.
Hui Lu lowered his head and hissed. He seemed to understand Guo Ziyi's words and continued to look for grass on the river bank.
Guo Ziyi looked at the river in front of him. The river was wide and yellow.
"Big brother, what river is this?" Guo Ziyi asked Li Bai.
Li Bai also stood up and stretched his waist.""This is the Yellow River. Brother, don't you know?”
Yellow River? Guo Ziyi was stunned. He remembered reading in a book that the Yellow River passed through the city of Lan Zhou. Now that he saw the Yellow River, he should not be far from Lan Zhou City.
"I've lived in the frontier fortress for a long time and rarely come here. How far is it from Lan Province?" Guo Ziyi asked.
Li Bai thought for a moment and replied,"It's probably only a day's journey."”
Guo Ziyi calculated that if he could reach Lan Province in a day, he would not delay his promise with Tuoba Feng and Wang Zhongsi and would arrive earlier.
"Let's continue on our way and find a place with a family to have a good meal!”Guo Ziyi said with a smile. The two of them were now hungry and thirsty. Looking at the yellow water of the Yellow River, it was really difficult to eat.
The two of them continued to ride their horses forward. Hui Lu was carrying two tall and strong men on his back. It was very difficult for him, and his speed was much slower. After traveling for half a day, the two of them arrived at a inhabited village. The village was not large, and there was not even an inn. The two of them spent a lot of effort to find a place to stay.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of fodder in the village. Guo Ziyi spent some money to get the master of the family to prepare some high-quality fodder and add a few pieces of well salt to the water to feed Hui Lu. Guo Ziyi also wrapped the wound on Hui Lu's neck with a thin cloth to prevent the reins from rubbing against it.
When it was dinner time, Li Bai found the man of the house and asked,""Do you have wine?"
The man shook his head.”
"Is there a wine shop in the village? We'll buy some with money!"
The man shook his head again." This town is also poor. The nearest market is a few miles away. Usually, peddlers pick goods to sell. There are no shops to do business.”
Li Bai began to feel unhappy. To him, he could not go without meat for a day, but he could not go without wine for a day.
Guo Ziyi laughed and looked at Li Bai.""Brother, bear with this meal. When we arrive at Lan Province tomorrow, there will definitely be a lot of good wine!”
Li Bai nodded. He was still a little depressed. After dinner, he went out to practice his sword for a while and went back to his room to sleep.
Guo Ziyi couldn't fall asleep, so she sat down next to the oil lamp and took out the Tuoluo Poison Scripture.
The first few pages of the Tuoluo Poison Scripture were written in some strange foreign language. Guo Ziyi could not understand what it meant. It was probably what the Purple Smoke Luo had read in the praying hall. The first half of the Poison Sutra was about the preparation, use, and rescue of poisons. Guo Ziyi felt that these should be very useful in ancient times, so she read it seriously and memorized it.
The second half of the [Tuoluo Poison Scripture] was more peculiar. It talked about a method of "rearing venomous snakes". Hui is a poisonous snake. After reading the second half of the Poison Scripture, Guo Ziyi finally knew what the giant venomous snake in the Tuoluo Hall, the "Tuoluo Fiend", was all about.
It turned out that among the six branches of the Six Demons Hall, the Tuoluo Hall was the best at using poisons, which was why they had this "Tuoluo Poison Scripture". That giant venomous snake was a venomous snake that Tuo Luo Hall Master Purple Mist Luo had carefully raised.
To raise a venomous snake, one must first find an extremely rare venomous snake. After finding this kind of poisonous snake, he still needed to feed it with dozens of extremely rare poisons and medicinal herbs. There were four Fiendish Moons every year, and every Fiendish Moon would make this poisonous snake drink human blood and eat human flesh. After twelve years of raising, this venomous snake could finally become a Hui.
After raising Hui, one could kill this poisonous snake, drink its blood, and bathe in its blood. It would be of great help to Purple Mist Luo's evil cultivation technique. At the same time, it could also become a body that was immune to all poisons. Its blood would also become a myriad spirit antidote that could resolve all kinds of poisons.
Judging from the size of the snake, although it hadn't become a venomous snake yet, it had been raised by the Purple Smoke Luo for many years. It might even be about to succeed. Guo Ziyi recalled that when she killed the poisonous snake, her naked upper body was covered in snake blood. There was also some in her mouth, and she had swallowed a lot. Thinking about it this way, although his body could not be said to be immune to all poisons, it should be more than enough to resist ordinary poisons. His blood should also be able to resolve most poisons. This was also a blessing in disguise.
The Purple Smoke Luo kidnapped us. It's really a big loss! Guo Ziyi laughed in his heart.
Guo Ziyi read the Tuoluo Poison Scripture until the second half of the night. She was so tired that she went to bed.
The next morning, Guo Ziyi and Li Bai immediately set off for Lan Zhou.
After walking for a whole day, it was almost evening when the tall city wall of Lan Province appeared in front of the two of them.
The army was preparing for war. Lan Province City's defenses were very tight. All the city gates were heavily guarded by government troops, and everyone who entered and exited the city gates was strictly checked. Fortunately, Guo Ziyi had Guo Yi's official badge and waist token, so he and Li Bai entered the city smoothly.
Shen Feng knew what Li Bai was thinking. Anyway, he had arrived early. After entering the city, he did not immediately report to the military camp. Instead, he found a good inn in Lan Province and stayed there. At night, he drank good wine and food.
The next morning, Guo Ziyi and Li Bai arrived at the Longyou Provincial Governor's mansion in Lan Province.
Not long after Wang Zhongsi arrived in Lan Zhou City, Emperor Li Longji issued an edict to let him take charge of Longyou. As a result, Wang Zhongsi was now the military governor of Shuofang, Hedong, and Longyou. He was the first military governor ever since the Great Tang had established its military governors. Nearly half of the Great Tang army was under his command. The Emperor's favor and trust could be seen from this!
Wang Zhongsi was currently in the military conference hall, and when he heard that Guo Ziyi had come to report, he immediately called him over. Guo Ziyi left Li Bai outside to rest for a while before heading to the Military Council Hall alone.
Guo Ziyi had just walked to the door of the military conference hall when he saw a general pushing the door open and walking out with a solemn expression. After seeing Guo Ziyi, he nodded and greeted him before rushing down.
