The Regent's Little Wolf Concubine

Chapter 260 Extra Story: The Excessive Bamboo 15
Ye Huai took some of the two big baskets of lantern grass to make tea soup, and left the rest here at Zhumo. When Xiao Tuanzi went to the two big baskets of lantern grass, the basket was almost as tall as hers!

With so many lantern plants, it takes a long time to make tea soup, right?Thinking of this, she looked back at her master in a daze, and asked, "Master, are all these lantern grasses going to be used to make tea soup?"

Hearing the little apprentice's question, Zhumo looked back at her, and replied, "Of course not. Although this lantern plant has the effect of clearing away fire, drinking too much is harmful."

"Then what will the master lantern plants be used for?" Xiaotuanzi asked again.

At this moment, Zhumo looked at the two baskets of herbs, and finally asked with a smile: "Little Tuanzi, do you remember the characteristics of the herbs that the master taught you to memorize these days?"

Hearing this, Xiaotuanzi thought for a while and nodded at him, so he continued: "Remember, for the teacher, there is a section about the lantern plant, you can recite it to me now."

He had nothing to do these days, so he took medical books and taught her how to read, starting from the most common medicinal herbs. After all, she is now his apprentice, so he can't just teach everything as a master, right?
Seeing that the master suddenly wanted to test himself, Xiaotuanzi was not nervous, nodded obediently and began to recite silently.

"Blanket grass, also known as white flower grass, is often found in the grass in the mountains and fields. It tastes pungent and bitter. It is light brown or brown red, stick-shaped and slightly flat. It has the effects of clearing fire, improving eyesight and dispelling stagnation."

When she finished reading, Zhu Mo nodded with satisfaction, and said: "The memorization is not bad, but in terms of the effect, there is still one thing missing."

Hearing this, Xiaotuanzi thought about it carefully again, but he didn't find anything missing, so he replied: "No, the master taught me to recite only so much!"

Hearing what she said, Zhu Mo smiled and said: "Silly apprentice, the ones that master taught you to memorize are only recorded in medical books, and some are not in medical books. When you have time in the future, no matter how slow master is, I will teach you slowly."

"En!" Xiaotuanzi nodded.

What these lantern plants were used for, Zhu Mo didn't say anything until the end. The whole army drank herbal tea like this for two whole days, and the anger was defeated, but the complaints in their hearts still did not diminish.

"I don't know what the general is thinking. If we don't fight a good battle, we must drink some medicinal tea here, making the whole barracks smell like medicine!"

"Hey, I heard that the current general is a doctor. From my point of view, he doesn't know how to lead troops to fight at all. He is afraid of being found out, so he plays tricks like this!"

"I think so, but since he doesn't have this ability, why did Prince Xiao want to give him the seal of the general?"

There has been a lot of discussion in the barracks for the past few days, many people think that Zhu Mo is just a doctor who doesn't know how to march and fight at all, but if he doesn't have this ability, why did the prince entrust him with the heavy responsibility?

In short, there are people who say something in the barracks these days. Some people think that he has other intentions in doing this, and some people think that he just has no strength, and he is playing tricks to cover up.

Zhumo naturally knew how they talked about him in private, but he was not affected at all, and he still taught Xiaotuanzi to recite medical books and read every day, as if the outside discussions had nothing to do with him.

In this way, until the early morning of the fifth day, Zhu Mo walked out of the tent, observed the sky outside, and could see a red glow in the sky over the city gate of Beiliao from a distance.

That's the sign of the sunrise.
After standing outside and watching for a while, he was about to go back, but when he turned around, he saw Xiao Tuanzi walking out of the camp wearing thin clothes. It seemed that he must have woken up and couldn't see him, so he ran out to find him.

Seeing this, Zhu Mo immediately scolded her, walked over and said: "Why did you run out like this, what should I do if I catch a cold? Go in with the master." Then he led her back to the room.

After adding two more clothes for her, Zhumo thought for a while and said to her: "Little Tuanzi, the master has something important to do today, so you stay in this tent obediently and wait for the master to come back."

"Where is Master going? Can't you take the dumpling with you?" Xiaotuanzi asked a little unhappy.

"If he can take you with him, why would the master let you stay? Naturally, it is not convenient to take you with him, so he will let you stay." Zhu Mo patiently explained to her.

Although Xiaotuanzi was not particularly willing at first, seeing the seriousness of the master, it seemed that it was really inconvenient to take him with him, so he finally agreed not to follow.

After the Xiaotuanzi had been settled, Zhumo sent Ye Huai a message, asking him to pass down an order immediately to dispatch troops in an hour!

"Wait." Just as Ye Huai was about to go down to deliver the order, Zhu Mo stopped him suddenly, then pointed to the things in the corner of the tent, and continued: "Take those things too, make sure the soldiers bring one by my side."

Looking in the direction of his finger, only then did he realize that there were unexpectedly many medicine bags over there!Seeing this, he hesitated for a moment, then answered yes, and then went to arrange the things he explained.

After resting in the barracks for so long, the soldiers could no longer sit still. Knowing that troops would be dispatched soon, everyone was full of fighting spirit. They all knew that as long as they took down this royal city, they could go home.

An hour later, the bugle sounded in the camp, and Zhumo, dressed in silver armor, led an army of tens of thousands to set off, and arrived at the royal city in a short while.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the Northern Liao army immediately set up a defense, but at this time their strength was insufficient, and the defense they built was not worth mentioning. They were easily broken by a group of soldiers led by Ye Huai.

As soon as the defense was broken, the army broke into the city directly. It was intended to directly take down the defenders of the city, but after entering, let alone the soldiers defending the city, even the people in the city were missing.

"How could this happen? There is no one in the city, even the soldiers who defended it just now are gone." Ye Huai didn't know what was going on, and finally opened the city, but it turned out to be an empty city.

Zhumo was relatively calm at the moment, and was not as surprised by this scene as Ye Huai said, and then glanced into the city without changing his expression, only to see that the city was surprisingly quiet, not to mention people, not even livestock.

"what sound?"

After staying at the gate of the city for a while, Ye Huai suddenly heard something, "buzzing", as if something was approaching them, and there were more than one or two, listening to the sound, it seemed like a group!
Hearing Ye Huai's doubts, Zhu Mo glanced at him, and seemed to catch a glimpse of something from the corner of his eyes. Looking in the direction of entering the city, he saw a group of dark things flying towards them in the sky above the street. very.

"What is that?!" Ye Huai looked at the other side and said in surprise, but Zhu Mo said unhurriedly at this moment: "Are you stupid in fighting? You can't even recognize butterflies?"

That's right, the black cloud flying over is indeed a group of butterflies!Still a black butterfly!But everyone has seen this butterfly a lot, and this is the first time they have seen so many black butterflies.

For some reason, seeing these butterflies, Ye Huai actually had a bad premonition in his heart, and what happened later proved that his premonition was correct!

"what--"

Those black butterflies flew closer and closer, their wings fluttered, and some powder fell one after another, and landed on the bodies of some soldiers, black smoke suddenly rose from the soldiers, the powder corroded the armor, and burned their skin .

"How could this happen? Why are these butterflies so powerful!" Ye Huai was shocked for a moment, and even Zhu Mo's expression became serious. He looked at the burned soldiers in disbelief and said, "This is impossible! ! Could it be.”

As if thinking of something, Zhu Mo suddenly turned around and asked Ye Huai: "Did you not send the medicine package?"

At this point, Ye Huai suddenly seemed to understand the function of those medicine packs, he hesitated for a moment and replied: "The subordinates have distributed it, but some soldiers think that the medicine packs are useless, so they may not have brought them themselves."

"Nonsense! If it's useless, what else would I ask you to carry?"

Zhu Mo was really pissed off by them this time. After yelling at Ye Huai, he said to the army: "Which one of you has the medicine bag that Ye Xianfeng sent out before? The ones you brought out to resist the butterflies, the others Get out of here immediately!"

As soon as Zhu Mo gave an order, hundreds of people immediately stood up behind them, temporarily blocking the black butterflies, and the rest of them also hurriedly retreated out of the city.

It's strange to say that the butterflies didn't dare to come forward as soon as those people with medicine bags stopped, but they didn't leave, just kept flying and wandering in the city.

With these butterflies guarding here, it will be difficult for them to get in!

"General, did you know for a long time that there would be these strange black butterflies in this city, so you prepared those medicine kits to restrain the butterflies?" Ye Huai turned around and asked.

Hearing his question, Zhu Mo had nothing to do, but turned his head to look at him like an idiot, and then looked into the city, thinking quickly about how to deal with these butterflies.

Now the whole city is full of these black butterflies, and the powder that falls from the butterflies is floating all over the city, forming a protective barrier.

With the barrier formed by this heavy pollen, ordinary people would definitely not dare to enter rashly, but Zhumo is different, he knows what these butterflies are, and they can't hurt him, so he finally drove through alone go in.

"General!"

"Wait where you are, this is a military order!"

Seeing him going to the city, Ye Huai originally wanted to follow him, but before he followed, Zhu Mo ordered him to stay where he was and wait, so he could only stop there anxiously.

Seeing Zhu Mo broke into the pollen alone and gradually disappeared without a trace, Ye Huai didn't know what to do for a while.
