With Li Yunhe's company, they actually found the nest of these vagrant forces.
Li Yunhe let go of the homeless man he had captured, looked ahead, and frowned.
"How do we get through this?"
The homeless man looked ahead and shuddered, "There used to be a suspension bridge connecting these two mountains. As long as we climb to the top of the small hill we're standing on now, we can cross the suspension bridge to the other side."
Seeing that what he said did not seem false, Li Yunhe looked at the third prince.
"I guess they're afraid we might attack, so they've pulled up the drawbridge."
If there is no suspension bridge, they would have to be extremely skilled in martial arts to get to the other side, but the soldiers they brought would not be able to get through at all, and he and the third prince would be outnumbered if they went there.
If we don't find a way to get through, the homes of these nomads are built high up, and it will be futile for them to attack with arrows.
"It's truly a great place, easy to defend but difficult to attack," the Third Prince said with a faint smile. "No wonder your master was so confident in going to the capital. He must have been certain that we couldn't attack it."
Mu Xue, who was standing next to the Third Prince, glanced across at the other side and said softly, "Since we can't attack now, let's find a place to camp first to conserve our energy."
There is no way to attack directly now, and the reinforcements have not arrived yet. If they attack by force, it will be useless except for wasting their physical strength.
"Axue, what you said makes sense. Let's find a place to camp first and then think of a solution."
…
The sentry on the vagrant side observed the group and hurried to report to their young master.
"Young Master, the people the Master mentioned have indeed found our base camp."
The man in the room was blocked by the curtain. After hearing the sentry's report, he turned around and walked outside the curtain.
"Really? He really does understand his apprentice."
The man had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and regular features. His tone was full of mockery when he said this.
The sentry who came to report lowered his head, not knowing how to respond.
"Prepare the surrounding rocks. When the time comes, lower the drawbridge to lure them over and let them all die here."
"Young Master, the rocks are ready, but they don't seem to have any intention of attacking."
Lou Qing was a little surprised when he heard this.
He thought that these people would attack him immediately after knowing that Qian Zhong was in his hands, but he didn't expect them to be so patient.
"It's okay. When they show up again, we'll send someone to tell them that Jin Ting'an is in our hands."
If they don't care about Qian Zhong, would they also not care about the great general of their country?
"yes."
"Back off."
"Young Master," the sentry hesitated and cautiously reminded, "The master told you not to act rashly when he left."
Lou Qing glanced at him and didn't take it seriously.
"We have Jin Ting'an and Qian Zhong in our hands now. Do you think it's necessary to wait for Qian Zhong to train a surprise attack?"
He sneered, "Besides, that old fellow Qian Zhong is a stubborn person who won't budge, how could he possibly agree to this?"
He had already spent almost two months with Qian Zhong, and he didn't want to waste any more time.
In his opinion, now is the best time. Jin Ting'an is in their hands, Tianqi lacks a leader, and the third prince is sick.
There is no one leading the troops in Tianqi now, so how could he miss this opportunity to capture Tianqi in one fell swoop.
"But the special forces we have now have many flaws. If we rashly start a war and the other two countries come to support us, we might..."
"Maybe I'll lose?"
Loulan interrupted the sentry, "Right now, Li and Qiang are busy cleaning up their own messes and have no time to help Tianqi.
Seeing that he didn't listen, the sentry didn't dare say anything more.
"Stand back. I want to see if his apprentice has the ability to turn the tide."
The sentry retreated, and a maid hurried in from the doorway, "Master, Qian Zhong has agreed."
"Promise?"
Lou Qing's face was full of disbelief, and he walked out with a wave of his sleeves.
"Go and have a look."
He didn't think Qian Zhong would really agree to help train the special forces, and just thought that the other party was playing tricks.
The two of them left the corridor and came to a dark room. The stone door opened, and Lou Qing walked in. Looking at Qian Zhong who was trapped inside, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "How did Divine Doctor Qian suddenly figure it out?"
Qian Zhong turned around, sat down on the stone steps, and shook his sleeves.
"Aren't you planning to capture my apprentice to threaten me?"
"So the Divine Doctor Qian knew about this?"
Lou Qing walked up to him and stood still, finding out the reason why Qian Zhong suddenly changed his mind.
However, Qian Zhong didn't know that the people below failed and did not capture Mu Xue, but he would not tell Qian Zhong.
Since Qian Zhong has revealed his weakness, he should take advantage of it.
"I heard from your people," Qian Zhong observed Lou Qing's expression, "where is Xue'er now? How is she?"
Seeing his worried expression, Lou Qing chuckled, "Don't worry, Doctor Qian, since you promised to help me train the special weapon, I will naturally not do anything to your precious apprentice."
"That's good."
Qian Zhong pretended to be relieved, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart.
These people didn't catch Xue'er at all. If they had really caught Xue'er, they would have brought her to him and threatened him.
Since Lou Qing believed him, he could use the training of special forces as an excuse to find out Jin Ting'an's whereabouts and let Jin Ting'an go first.
"What medicine does Qianshen Doctor need? I'll send someone over right away."
"It's better for me to get the medicine myself," Qian Zhong stood up. "If you're worried, just have someone follow me. You can't let us do the research here, right?"
Lou Qing glanced at the empty dark room and smiled, "Of course not. As long as Divine Doctor Qian doesn't run around, we can be considered allies now. I will naturally agree to anything I can promise you."
As he spoke, he opened the darkroom and gestured for invitation.
"Please, Doctor Qian, I'll take you to the pharmacy right now."
The two men came out of the dark room and walked along the gravel road for a while. Two simple wooden houses appeared not far away.
"This is where the medicine is stored and where Old Chen studies the special weapons. However, the medicine that Old Chen makes has too many shortcomings."
Qian Zhong didn't say anything, but he felt that Lou Qing and Min Qiu were naive.
How is it possible to create an immortal warrior? If it were possible, wouldn’t the country that created it be truly invincible?
"Are all the herbs complete?"
Chizuru asked as he walked towards the cabin.
"Of course it is complete."
Lou Qing raised his hand and knocked on the door, "Mr. Chen, open the door."
There was no sound in the room. Lou Qing knocked a few more times and waited for a long time before the door was opened by an old man. He had a hunched back and after opening the door, he didn't even look at the two of them. He turned around and went back to his work.
"Mr. Chen is like this when he's busy."
After Lou Qing finished speaking, he raised his voice to Chen Lao and said, "Chen Lao, I brought Qian Shen Yi here to study the strange weapon with you. You can talk to each other and see where the mistake was made."
After he finished speaking, Old Chen paused his busy hands, slowly turned around and looked at Qian Zhong.
