Li Guang quickly stood up and bowed to Pu Qingshen.
"Greetings, Master Puqing."
"Haha, you're my senior brother's little brother, so you'll be my little brother too from now on."
Young brother, could you please let me see your true face? Otherwise, if I see you again in the future, I still won't recognize you.
Li Guang smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, Daoist Puqing, I'll be right back."
After Li Guang finished speaking, he left. Not long after, Li Guang returned, now a handsome and imposing young general.
"Senior brother is right, young man is indeed handsome and dashing, a man of exceptional talent," Pu Qing said excitedly.
At this moment, Li Guang remembered something and spoke up:
"Master Dao, you just said that I tried to sabotage Jia Feng's cannons, but fortunately I failed. What exactly happened?"
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest laughed and said:
"Young brother, do you know who Jia Feng is?"
"All I know is that he is a master invited by Kurituo. This person is indeed quite capable. He is not only proficient in military strategy, but also knows some unorthodox techniques. Although I have studied Guiguzi's 'Gu Chan Ce', I am no match for Jia Feng at all."
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest burst into laughter again.
"Young man, you are no match for Jia Feng. If you hadn't had the bomb a few days ago, you might have been taken down by Jia Feng."
And just now, if it weren't for the horse and the gun in your hand, young man, you might have become a hedgehog by now.
"The reason I brought my junior brother Puqing here is to deal with Jia Feng."
Li Guang finally understood that the old Taoist priest had come to the northern frontier to do something important—to deal with Jia Feng—and was overjoyed.
"Of course, I alone am not enough to deal with Jia Feng, which is why I asked my junior brother to come out of the mountains and lend me a hand."
To tell you the truth, my junior brother, Jia Feng is my junior brother Pu Feng. Thirty years ago, he betrayed his master and sect, so my fellow disciple and I have always wanted to cleanse the sect.
We searched for him for thirty years and finally found his trail. So we joined forces with our junior brother to get rid of this disgrace to the sect.
Li Guang instantly understood that Jia Feng was a Taoist priest who had committed the crime of betraying his master and ancestors. In order to escape the pursuit of his fellow disciples, he had hidden in a foreign country and had been hiding there for thirty years.
Thirty years later, Jia Feng felt that there was nothing more to do, so he came out of seclusion.
No matter what, Jia Feng is a subject of the Great Northern Dynasty. No matter how bad you are, you cannot help a foreign country attack the Great Northern Dynasty. This is more serious than betraying one's master and ancestors.
Thinking of this, Li Guang gritted his teeth.
"How does Master Dao plan to deal with this scoundrel from the Great Northern Dynasty?"
"It's very simple. Since my junior brother Pufeng is willing to help the foreign country, I won't stop him."
He's going to build the Great General Cannon to deal with you, so let him continue building it. But Junior Brother Puqing will secretly make some modifications to the cannon.
In the end, these incredibly powerful cannons will only bombard the barbarian soldiers; this is the consequence of the barbarian kingdom inviting Pufeng to come out of seclusion.
Don't worry about the artillery; just watch the show.
Only the three of us know about this. Little brother, don't mention it to anyone to avoid any complications.
Now is not the time for our senior brothers to clean house. Once Pu Feng has done enough, my junior brother and I will go and take action to fulfill our master's orders.
It was only at this moment that Li Guang truly understood that he had always thought the Taoist was traveling around, but in fact he had been searching for his fellow disciple, Pu Feng, and it had taken him thirty years to discover Pu Feng's whereabouts.
Once the Taoist priest had cleaned up the sect and fulfilled his master's orders, he would officially retire into seclusion, and he would never see the Taoist priest again.
Seeing Li Guang's complicated mood, the old Taoist said, "Young brother, this is not the last time we will meet. Let's talk again next time we meet."
There's one more thing. Your Marshal Han has been poisoned by Pu Feng. I have a medicine gourd here with the antidote inside.
To detoxify, simply open the gourd lid; the aroma of the antidote will be released. Inhale it, and the poison will be neutralized.
After the old Taoist finished speaking, he took out a medicine gourd and handed it to Li Guang.
Li Guang took the medicine gourd as if it were a priceless treasure and quickly put it away.
"Young man, you can go back now. We'll meet again another day."
Li Guang nodded, bowed to the two old Taoist priests, then left the thatched hut, mounted his horse, and rode away.
To avoid being discovered by the enemy soldiers, Li Guang deliberately took a detour and rushed back to the city in the north.
When Li Guang returned to the inn, the soldiers who had rushed back earlier breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Guang had regained his original appearance, the soldiers were not surprised.
Li Guang counted the number of men; of the twenty soldiers he had brought, fifteen remained, five of whom had died in the armored formation.
The soldiers knew that if Li Guang hadn't rescued them, they would have died in the armored formation long ago.
Li Guang told his soldiers that he had secretly infiltrated the mountain and destroyed all the cannons, and that Jia Feng was no longer capable of manufacturing powerful cannons.
Even if some cannons could still be made, their power would not be great, and they would be nothing to fear.
More importantly, he had obtained the antidote and could now return to Hanyu Pass to save Marshal Han.
The soldiers were very excited. This trip to the northern frontier had not only accomplished their mission, but they had also obtained the antidote to save Marshal Han.
The soldiers immediately packed their belongings, left the northern frontier, and rode swiftly back to Han Yuguang.
Two days later, Li Guang led his soldiers back to Hanyu Pass. After entering the city, he found Yue Heng and inquired about Marshal Han's condition.
Yue Heng sighed and said:
"Marshal Han's condition is getting worse. He hasn't had a drop of water for days, and it's estimated that he doesn't have much time left."
Li Guang nodded and said:
"General Yue, there is no need to worry. I have found the antidote. We will go there now and administer the medicine to Marshal Han immediately."
Yue Heng was overjoyed. He hadn't expected Li Guang to have found the antidote. He quickly went with Li Guang to Marshal Han's residence.
At this moment, Marshal Han seemed to have sobered up a bit. He had heard that Li Guang had led men to the northern frontier to destroy the powerful cannons manufactured by Jia Feng.
Marshal Han was very worried, but he held on with strong willpower, determined to wait for Li Guang to return safely.
Hearing that Li Guang had returned and came to see him as soon as he got back, I finally felt relieved.
Marshal Han, lying in bed, forced a smile and asked:
"Marshal Li, how did your trip to the northern frontier go?"
"Reporting to Marshal Han, everything went smoothly. This trip to the northern frontier not only destroyed Jia Feng's powerful artillery, but also unexpectedly obtained the antidote. I will now administer the medicine to Marshal Han, and your illness will soon be cured."
Marshal Han was overjoyed; he hadn't expected Li Guang to have obtained the antidote.
"That's great! Quickly give me the medicine, I need to get better as soon as possible."
Li Guang quickly took out the medicine gourd from his bosom, removed the stopper, and a strong smell of Chinese medicine immediately wafted from the gourd.
