pet cultivator

Chapter 36
As a general, Li Shuyi lived in a separate small courtyard in the Dragon Knight Barracks.There are also the residences of several other generals in the yard, and in the middle of the yard is a huge sand table terrain map.

As soon as Li Shuyi led Li Yu and Li Jin returned to the small courtyard, he couldn't help but get angry at Li Yu: "You brat, your wings are stiff, aren't you? What's going on like crazy today, I really don't know the heights of heaven and earth! You are still so young, If you devote yourself to cultivation, you will definitely be able to step on them in a few years. Why do you want to start a gambling fight at this time? Do you know how difficult it is for ordinary people to sit on the seat of captain in this peaceful age? You actually Take your own future to gamble?"

Li Yu still said indifferently: "Please rest assured, the general, the general will definitely win this round of gambling."

Li Jin knew that Li Yu had acted like this at this time, besides wanting to gain a firm foothold among the [-] dragon cavalry army quickly, he still wanted to express his anger for him.Although Li Jin himself didn't care much about what happened in the school grounds just now, he was still very moved by Li Yu's heart.

Hearing this, Li Shuyi watched Li Yu stay silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "I hope so. If you are at this age, it will be quite impressive for you if you can really win three games in a row in the same rank." It's beneficial. At least, it can stop many people's mouths."

However, Li Yu said nothing surprising: "I won't win three games in a row, but I will win cleanly with one against three."

This time Li Shuyi didn't speak, but the eyes of Li Jin and Li Jin looked at him like a madman.

"General, I invite you to this secluded place to report something important." Seeing Li Shuyi's defeated expression, Li Jin simply changed the topic to talk about business.

Just now, Li Jin used the aroma of Ambergris to cook all the more than 30 Tianlong horses.Because the state and strength of each Tianlong horse are different, some are serious and some are mild, some are second-order and some are fourth-order, so they wake up at different times.He simply asked Li Shuyi to find a place where there were no other people to talk.Li Shuyi thought that there should be no one in the general's courtyard at this time, so he led Li Jin and the two over.

"Did you find the reason why Tianlongma went crazy?" Li Shuyi stared at Li Jin after hearing this.

Li Jin nodded and shook his head again, Li Shuyi's eyes twitched and said: "I can be sure that Tianlongma has been poisoned by a chronic poison of the spirit, but I don't know how they were poisoned."

"Poisoned?!" Li Shuyi and Li Yu's expressions changed drastically.

"At first it was just poor appetite and sleepless nights, then irritable and easy to cause trouble, then more and more frequent startle horses and madness, followed by energy exhaustion and listlessness, and finally these days Ryoma must have collapsed and died. .Combined with some physical characteristics I found on Tianlongma, it is definitely poisoned by the spirit."

Li Jin nodded solemnly: "Moreover, the source of this poison still exists. I have already detoxified Brother Yu's red inflammation a few days ago. Logically speaking, he shouldn't start going crazy again so soon. The only explanation is that the red After Yan returned to the barracks, he was poisoned again."

Li Shuyi's complexion became very ugly, while Li Yu frowned deeply: "Xiao Jin, can this poison spread among heavenly dragons and horses?"

"Spiritual toxins are naturally not allowed." Li Jin replied affirmatively, he understood what Li Yu meant by asking this question.

Sure enough, Li Yu's face darkened, and he shook his head and said, "For the past year, my second grandfather and I have closely monitored and checked the fodder and drinking water of all war horses, and found no problems. We have also used the same fodder and water to feed other souls. Pets and ordinary animals, and even a few brothers ingest some fodder every day. The drinking water in the entire military camp, whether it is for people or soul pets, is taken from a tributary of the Han River next to the military camp. However, everything else It's normal, only Tianlongma has an accident."

"Could it be that this toxin is transmitted from the air by a colorless and odorless gas?" Li Shuyi asked after thinking about it.

Li Jin was also puzzled: "It's even more impossible to spread through the air. If so, how is it possible that the poison is still in effect from a year ago? And the same, why is only Tianlongma poisoned?"

The three stood in the yard silently.They all knew that the cause of Tianlongma's madness was only determined now, but if the source of the toxin could not be found out, it would be futile for Li Jin to treat these Tianlongmas no matter what.

"Can I go and see the fodder for the horses again?" Li Jin was not reconciled, and asked after thinking about it.

"I'll take you there." Li Yu nodded, then clasped his fists at Li Shuyi and said, "General, we're retreating first, and we'll report to you when things progress."

Li Shuyi nodded thoughtfully.Just when Li Jin and Li Jin were about to walk out of the small courtyard, he suddenly called out to Li Jin again: "Boy, if I suggest the military department to evacuate this barracks now, will the poisoning be avoided?"

Li Yu looked at Li Shuyi in surprise.Others don't understand, but he clearly knows that if he wants to abandon this barracks that has been in operation for thousands of years, the loss may be astronomical. Even if it doesn't cause the Li family to be overthrown, at least it will hurt his muscles and bones.

Li Jin was thinking about the possibility of this proposal: "Because we don't know where the source of the poison came from, we can use two methods to test whether this plan is effective. First, Li Qinqin and the others stay in Tianji City , Then will their Tianlong horses have the same situation? Second, I used the method just now to relieve some of the symptoms of Tianlong horses, and then let them leave the barracks to recuperate, and observe whether they will start to go crazy again soon. symptom."

Li Shuyi's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "I will send a message to Tianji City, and pay close attention to the status of the soul pets of the recruits who were returned to the city this year. At the same time, everyone in Li Yu's team should not contact anyone in the barracks anymore Or thing, return to Tianji City immediately, and station on the city wall in the name of supervising the defense of the east gate, there must be no mistakes."

"Obey!" Li Yu responded, and then rushed towards the school grounds in a hurry.

----
When Li Jin arrived at the barracks horse farm under the leadership of Li Yu, it happened to be the time when most of the soldiers led their Tianlong horses to eat.

"The young master is here." A logistics soldier at the racecourse saw Li Yu, smiled and handed over a sack.

Li Yu nodded at him, opened the sack, and poured the fodder into the trough.Seeing that Li Yu hesitated obviously, Li Jin still summoned his own dragon horse and asked him to eat.

Li Jin grabbed a handful of fodder, rubbed it in his hands for a while, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and asked, "Is this fodder specially made?"

Li Yu nodded: "The formula of this fodder is considered one of the top secrets of the Dragoon Army. Even the logistics soldiers who mixed the fodder only knew part of the raw materials and processes, and finally mixed all the semi-finished products that were completed separately. Together, it becomes the fodder in front of your eyes."

Li Jin thought for a while and asked, "Has this fodder been used for a long time?"

"That's not true." Li Yu shook his head, "However, this kind of forage was first used five years ago. First, a small number of military horses were tried for two years, and it was only used on a large scale three years ago. Compared with the previous one, the effect is much better, Tianlongma can grow faster and stronger, and its hooves are stronger."

"Three years ago?" Li Jin frowned. Tianlongma's abnormality occurred a year ago. It seems that the time is not right. Could it really not be a problem of fodder?

However, Li Jin still asked curiously: "Where did you get this forage formula?"

"I don't know about this. Five years ago, you and I were only one or two years old. After we confirmed that there was no problem with the formula, we didn't pursue its origin." Li Yu shook his head.

"About this, young master, you may not be able to ask other people, but I know the whole story." At this time, the logistics soldier on the side smiled, "This forage formula was sold to us by Song Bazhi Dragoons."

"Song Eight Fingers?" Li Jin asked in surprise, "This person only has eight fingers?"

"That's right, the little finger and ring finger of Song Bazhi's right hand were chopped off, as if it was because of a gambling debt. He was originally a field soldier of the Dragoon Army. He lived next door to me and was responsible for planting seeds for the soldiers. Some melons, fruits and vegetables to subsidize food and grass. Five years ago, when he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives, he accidentally rescued a horse dealer on the way. As a result, he took two horses and gave Song Bazhi a formula as a reward. Originally Song Bazhi didn't pay much attention to this recipe, but he saw that the merchant's horses were all fat and strong, so he thought that this recipe should not be as bad as he imagined, so he accepted it."

"Then how did Song Bazhi think of selling the formula later?" Li Jin asked.

"Later, Song Bazhi owed someone else a gambling debt. Not only did he sell the two horses, but he also sold the formula to a quartermaster of the Dragoon Army who was in charge of fodder for the horses at that time. The official seemed to be a man of knowledge, so he immediately handed over the formula to his superiors. Two years later, the Tianlong horses that ate the forage mixed with this formula were indeed stronger than other war horses. Soon all the forage for the army horses was replaced by this kind, and the quartermaster was promoted and got a lot of money as a reward."

"There is such a thing! This quartermaster is very lucky, and his fifty silver coins are too worthwhile." Li Yu said in surprise, "What about Song Bazhi?"

"He, he didn't know where he went for a long time. Maybe he was chased by someone for his gambling debts, and he might even be beaten to death. Who knows?"

After listening, Li Jin thought about it, and asked Li Yu, "Can I see the complete formula?"

"This... I have to apply to Second Grandpa, who keeps the formula himself." Li Yu replied after a moment of hesitation.

Li Jin looked around carefully again, and found nothing suspicious, so he said to Li Yu: "Let's go, it's getting late today, let's go back and rest, and I'll go to the water source tomorrow to have a look." .”
