Not long after Mo and Ye left, Hou Shi walked in.
There was another person following Hou Shi. Shuo Ling took a closer look at this time and realized that he had seen him before. This was Zhan You's apprentice.
Shuo Ling saw that Hou Shi and Feng Xian's faces didn't look very good at this time, so he could guess what happened.
"Shuohou, the Nightmare Gu King is dead, and the forbidden book Zhan You has been returned to me. I don't have to worry about anyone using this evil technique in the future." Hou Shi said to Shuo Ling at this time.
Shuo Ling nodded and then asked, "Then where is Zhan You now? Didn't he come back with you?"
"Hey, I was a step too late and couldn't stop it. Zhan You is dead." Hou Shi sighed and said immediately.
After hearing this, Shuo Ling walked up to Hou Shi and said to him immediately, "My condolences, King Gu. You have tried your best. Maybe this is the best result."
"I hope so. Now that the border fortress issue has been resolved, it's time for me to return to Wu Gu City." Hou Shi sighed at this time and then said to Shuo Ling.
After hearing this, Shuo Ling nodded, turned to Mo Li and said, "Go and prepare two fast horses for King Gu."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Mo Li responded with his hands raised, then turned and walked outside.
After Mo Li left, Hou Shi said to Shuo Ling, "When will Shuohou plan to return to the imperial city?"
"Tomorrow morning." Shuo Ling responded at this time.
Then Shuo Ling walked up to Hou Shi and glanced at Fengxian, "King Gu, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Hou Shi was slightly stunned at this moment, then turned to Fengxian and said, "Fengxian, please go outside and wait for me for a while."
"Yes, uncle." Fengxian nodded, then turned and walked outside.
After Fengxian walked out, Hou Shi looked at Shuo Ling and asked, "What's wrong with Shuohou?"
"I wonder if King Gu has a poison that can make the body weak?" Shuo Ling said straight to the point.
After hearing this, King Gu couldn't help but frown, and then asked, "This is Shuohou?"
"Don't worry, King Gu. After I return to the imperial city, I will go directly to Beiling. To be honest with King Gu, my wife has some issues with the Beiling royal family. After I return to the imperial city and resume my life, I will go to Beiling to find my wife. If there is any With the help of Gu King, I think we will get twice the result with half the effort!" Shuo Ling said to Hou Shi truthfully at this time.
After hearing this, Hou Shi couldn't help but smile on his face, "I see. If that's the case, then I will help Shuo Hou."
"In that case, thank you King Gu." Shuo Ling said to King Gu at this time.
Then Hou Shi said, "Shuohou, please come with me."
Shuo Ling nodded, then followed Hou Shi out of the tent and walked into Hou Shi's tent.
After walking in, Hou Shi walked to the bed, took out a box, then put the box on the table, opened the box, searched inside for a while, and then took out a small bottle from inside. .
Then Hou Shi handed the bottle to Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling took the bottle and then looked at Hou Shi and asked, "King Gu, this is..."
"This voodoo is called Jiyou. It can make ordinary people temporarily lose their physical strength and make their whole body weak. People with skill can only suppress their skill. However, this voodoo will be absorbed by the body after a long time." Zhan You said to Shuoling at this time Said.
Shuo Ling nodded, and then asked, "How long can it last?"
"It varies from person to person. For people with little skill, it may take longer, but it will not exceed three days. For people with good skills, the skill will disappear for ten hours." Hou Shi said to Shuo at this time. Ling said.
I saw Shuo Ling put the bottle away at this time, and then asked, "How to remove this poison?"
"It's simple. The jinyou in this bottle will come alive when it comes into contact with water. Its body is transparent and even ordinary witchcraft masters can't find it, so it's called jinyou." Hou Shi said again at this time.
Shuo Ling nodded at this time, and then said, "In that case, thank you King Gu."
"It's nothing, it's just a small matter." Hou Shi said, waving his hands.
At this moment, Li Li walked in, nodded to Hou Shi, and then walked to Shuo Ling, "Master Hou, the horse is ready."
"Yeah." Shuo Ling nodded and then looked at Hou Shi.
At this time, Hou Shi packed up the things on the table, then carried them on his body and walked outside.
When Fengxian saw them coming out, he hurriedly walked forward, nodded to Shuo Ling, and then walked to Hou Shi and said, "Uncle, bring me the things."
Hou Shi nodded at this time and then brought the things to Fengxian.
After Feng Xian took it, he walked to the side and waited in front of the horses prepared for them.
Then Hou Shi turned around and said to Shuo Ling, "We say goodbye today. I don't know when we can see each other again. I hope Shuo Hou has a smooth journey back to the imperial city tomorrow!"
"The same goes for King Gu." Shuo Ling said to him at this time.
Then Hou Shi walked up to the horse, jumped up and got on the horse.
Feng Xian, who was on the side, saw Hou Shi get on the horse, and then he also got on.
After Hou Shi sat down, he said to Shuo Ling, "I'll say goodbye here today."
With that said, he turned his horse's head and ran towards the outside of the military camp.
At this time, Fengxian bowed his hands to Shuoling and ran out.
After Hou Shi walked away, Mo Li said to Shuo Ling, "Master Hou, it's cold outside, let's go in."
Immediately, Shuo Ling turned around and walked towards his tent.
As soon as he sat down, Shuo Ling couldn't help but feel a little sleepy, so he said to Mo Li, "Go down."
"Yes." Li Li nodded and retreated.
After Mo Li left, Shuo Ling gently held his forehead with his hand and closed his eyes.
Not long after, Shuo Ling's brows could not help but feel slightly happy and angry, and then there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
A change of style -
It turned out that Shuo Ling dreamed of Yang Zijin. In a forest, Yang Zijin was lighting a fire and smiling at him from time to time.
At this moment, Shuoling found a big python as thick as a tree stump behind Yang Zijin. He was shocked, and then shouted at Yang Zijin to get away quickly, but Yang Zijin was like a snake at this moment. He didn't seem to hear anything and continued to look at him and smile.
And he wanted to pull out the sword in his hand and stab the python, but found that his body could not move at all, which made him feel very scared, so he screamed with all his strength, but Yang Zijin still didn't seem to hear him.
Just like that, the python suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed Yang Zijing into its mouth.
At this moment, Shuo Ling suddenly woke up and shouted loudly, "No!"
When he opened his eyes, he was instantly covered in cold sweat.
When Li Moli heard the sound, he walked in from outside and hurriedly walked forward and asked, "Master Hou, what's going on?"
"Let everyone get ready and set off back to the imperial city tonight!" Shuo Ling said to Li Qiye at this time.
After hearing this, Li Moli couldn't help but frown slightly, and then asked, "Master Hou, but what happened, doesn't it mean..."
"Just do it!" Shuo Ling raised his head and looked at Mo Li and said.
Immediately, Mo Li cupped his hands and said, "Yes, my subordinates will go and inform General Li right away..."
"Just say it's urgent." Shuo Ling said at this time.
Li Qiye nodded and retreated.
After Mo Li left, Shuo Ling still looked uneasy, wondering how he could have such a dream.
Maybe he misses Yang Zijin too much, so he is worried. No matter what, now he wants to return to the imperial city as soon as possible, so that he can quickly set off to Beiling, find Yang Zijin as soon as possible, and stay with Yang Zijin. His Zijin cannot allow any accidents.
Thinking of this, Shuo Ling immediately closed his eyes. The feeling of being unable to move in his dream made him very flustered.
In Xiao Mu's tent, someone was injured by Zhao Yun during the battle with Xiling just now. Fortunately, the injury was not serious.
It's being bandaged now.
After the bandage was finished, Xiao Mu said at this time, "Everyone, take a good rest now. Just now, the Marquis received news that he will return to the Imperial City early tomorrow morning. If you think about it carefully, we spent a lot of time in Jiandu after leaving the Imperial City. Over time, I moved from the capital to the frontier fortress, and now I can finally return to the imperial city."
"Xiao Mu..." At this time, Li Li called Xiao Mu and walked in from outside.
Seeing Mo Li coming over again, Xiao Mu couldn't help but frown slightly, and then asked, "Why, is there anything else you can do with the Marquis?"
"Well, let everyone pack up quickly. We will set off back to the imperial city now." Li Li nodded at this time and said immediately.
After hearing this, Xiao Mu's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he asked, "What do you mean, you're going back to the imperial city now?"
"Yeah." Li Li said at this time.
Xiao Mu then asked, "Didn't I just say that we would set off again early tomorrow morning? Why did this change again? But what happened?"
"I don't know. The Marquis made a temporary decision and asked everyone to clean up quickly." Mo Li shrugged at Xiao Mu and then looked at the people on the side and said.
Xiao Mu frowned at this time, but after a moment, he turned around and said, "Everyone heard it just now, hurry up and clean up."
Xiao Mu didn't feel that time was in a hurry, but he was worried about the injured ones, fearing that their bodies would be aggravated by being in such a hurry to travel.
"After you have packed up, go directly to the gate of the military camp and wait. I will go and tell General Li about the impromptu decision made by the Marquis." Mo Li said at this time, and then walked outside.
After Mo Li left, Xiao Mu walked up to the injured people and asked, "How are you guys doing? Can you ride a horse?"
"No problem, it's just some skin injuries, nothing to worry about!" At this time, one of them said with a smile.
After hearing this, Xiao Mu nodded, "Then get ready quickly, and then we'll set off."
After Mo Li talked to General Li, General Li couldn't help but frown, and then asked Mo Li, "But something happened. Didn't you decide to leave early tomorrow morning? Why did you suddenly change your mind now?"
"I don't know much about this. Maybe my Lord Marquis has something important to do when he returns to the imperial city, so that's why..." Li Li said to General Li at this time.
Then General Li said with a smile, "Since your Lord Marquis has decided, I will go out to see him off."
"General Li, if there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Li Li said with his hands raised.
