Therefore, the two decided to split up. Zhao Zhi quickly mobilized the elite troops of Yunchao, and with his grandfather's help, urgently prepared a special powder that could temporarily restrain the movement of the medicine men. He personally led the team to reinforce the Chaoyang Garrison. Zhang Jing, on the other hand, returned urgently with Li Xiaotian and his group.
This powder was the key to turning the tide of battle just now.
"Master Zhang, your powder is a lifesaver, it has solved our urgent problem," Shen Hanshan said gratefully, his eyes filled with both relief and admiration.
Zhang Jing waved his hand, his expression grave: "This is only a temporary relief. To completely eradicate the disease of drug-induced illness, we still need to find Li Liang's antidote formula and his true purpose. There is probably a huge conspiracy hidden behind this."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaotian was shocked: "What the hell do you mean? These ghostly things can come back to life?"
Zhang Jing nodded. "That's right. Commander Li, these mummies will revive in half an hour. You need to pour oil on them and burn them as soon as possible to completely eliminate the threat."
Li Xiaotian quickly ordered the soldiers who were still able to move to prepare kerosene to cremate the mummified corpses.
Xu Hui, standing to the side, gripped his spear tightly and said hatefully, "No matter who it is, if they dare to touch the slightest part of my Great Xuan, I, Xu Hui, will make them pay for their blood debt!"
Zhao Zhi looked into the distance, sighed softly, and said, "This matter concerns the peace and tranquility of both countries and should not be underestimated. I hope that Your Majesty will not fall into the villains' trap and think that this is a trouble deliberately provoked by the Yun Dynasty."
Shen Hanshan nodded, his gaze towards Zhao Zhi softening with trust: "I will explain to His Majesty."
Just as everyone was discussing their next move, a scout rushed over, looking nervous: "Your Highness, there seem to be signs of a large-scale troop movement on the Yunluo border. I'm afraid Li Liang has a backup plan."
Shen Hanshan frowned and quickly analyzed the situation: "It seems we cannot sit idly by and wait to be killed. We must take the initiative to strike. On the one hand, we must continue to track down Li Liang's whereabouts, and on the other hand, we must strengthen border defenses to prevent Yunluo from taking advantage of the situation."
Zhao Zhi nodded in agreement and then ordered: "Pass on my order to immediately prepare the army to meet the enemy. At the same time, send out scouts to closely monitor Yunluo's movements. Report back immediately if there is any disturbance."
With the order issued, the entire garrison battalion sprang into action once again. Although they were still exhausted, a determined light shone in everyone's eyes.
With His Highness, the Prince, and the Medical Sage, why would they be afraid of those medicine people?
After giving his instructions, Zhao Zhi disregarded his exhaustion from riding through the night, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the princess's residence.
Having finally come back, she wanted to see her two children.
But when she arrived at the city gate of Chaoyang County and saw the hellish scene before her, her hands, which were gripping the reins tightly, began to tremble.
