Chapter 923 Taking Poison
"Could they be the dead soldiers who have been poisoned by Miao witchcraft? I heard that there are such living dead who are tireless and invincible!" Hadan suddenly said.
"It's possible!" the high priest nodded.
His eyes flickered as he looked at Jiang Youzhen who was standing with his hands behind his back on the city wall, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Jiang Youzhen was checking the use of the whistle pigeon. It could travel two thousand miles a day and avoid any danger, just like a puppet bird.
She was delighted, as this way she could pass the message back to the capital.
Now that the border is in chaos, there is no guarantee that the capital is still safe. Perhaps those people will take a two-pronged approach and have already started to attack the capital. Because Young Master Luodan has been stationed in the capital for so many years, it is the perfect time to take action both inside and outside.
She wondered what the outcome would be in the capital, but she had no idea. If a palace rebellion broke out, she would have to do her utmost to protect her family.
Thinking of her parents and sisters in the capital, she had left a lot of guards for protection before leaving, but she was still worried.
That’s right! She could easily transfer the puppets to the capital and Qinghe Village to protect her family and clansmen.
Thinking of this, she immediately used her induction on two hundred of the puppets and sent them to the capital and Qinghe Village respectively.
The high priest and his men discovered that some of the men in black clothes and bamboo hats were evacuating, so they wondered if Jiang Youzhen had some new tricks up his sleeve.
But they were powerless because these men in bamboo hats were so skilled in martial arts that they could not stop them at all.
Seeing that the fighting on the battlefield had reached its most intense moment, everyone was blood-thirsty. They would not show any mercy to the enemy at this time, and only had killing in their hearts.
Jiang Youzhen looked down, couldn't help but hum, raised his longbow and began to aim.
"Oh no! Everyone, please be careful and protect yourself. Jiang Youzhen has started shooting arrows again." The high priest hurriedly reminded when he saw this.
He was always paying attention to Jiang Youzhen's movements, and as soon as he saw her start to draw the bow, he felt like he was facing a great enemy.
When everyone heard this, they all began to pay attention to their movements and dared not reveal any trace of it.
Jiang Youzhen sighed, it seemed that shooting was useless.
After sending the puppet out, Jiang Youzhen felt relieved. She flew down like a roc and began to join the battle.
Everywhere they passed was a storm. Enemy and our forces were everywhere, and Jiang Youzhen couldn't use large-scale attacks, so she could only defeat them one by one. However, her martial arts skills were too strong, and while she was fighting, she also drank spiritual spring water, making her seem invincible.
"Damn it! We have to kill Jiang Youzhen, otherwise the others will be incompetent." The high priest was panicked. If they didn't kill Jiang Youzhen, it would be difficult for them to succeed.
"You protect me!" The high priest had an idea. The foundation of his kingdom depended on this moment, so he could only take a risk.
He returned to the tent and took out a slender bamboo tube from his arms.
"Godfather, don't do that!" Ke Zhenqiu hurriedly dissuaded him upon seeing this.
"It's a critical moment. If Jiang Youzhen is not eliminated, we will all die. It's worth it to use me to protect you." The high priest looked at Ke Zhenqiu deeply.
This was the last thing he could do for Ke Zhenqiu. He had felt sorry for Ke Zhenqiu before, but he was also doing it for the country and his family.
"Qiu'er, regardless of whether we can win this battle, your father hopes that you will stay away from the infighting in the court and live the life you want! I've left a house for you in Fuliu Lane in the capital of Dayun Dynasty. The key is at the Wang Family Rice Shop at the corner of the street. Go and get it.
There are 10,000 taels of silver inside, as well as a new travel permit and household registration. Take it and fly far away, hide your identity, forget everything in the past, and start a new life. Let go of everything you have experienced in the past few years and don't look back.
Looking at the high priest's sad eyes, Ke Zhenqiu's eyes became moist.
"Godfather, you..."
"Wait until I take this stuff, then leave while the chaos is going on. Don't worry about what's going on here. Remember! Don't look back! Be careful of Prince Hadan, and leave as soon as possible! Remember!"
As the high priest said this, he pulled out the stopper from the bamboo tube and poured the liquid into his mouth without hesitation.
"Godfather!" Ke Zhenqiu wanted to snatch the bamboo tube, but it was too late.
"Remember! Don't go back to Northern Ming. I have my mission, but if you go back you will still die."
After the high priest finished speaking, his meridians suddenly expanded rapidly, and his body gradually became very tall, like a giant.
Black veins covered his entire body, his eyes turned red, and his lips became black, as if he had been poisoned.
"Remember what I said! There's no antidote for this poison. If you persist for three hours, your meridians will rupture and you'll die. While I'm dealing with Jiang Youzhen, quickly evacuate and don't tell anyone."
The high priest said this and walked out of the tent. He stared at Jiang Youzhen with a hawk-like gaze, his eyes full of resentment.
Jiang Youzhen was about to strike an enemy soldier in the throat with a single blow when she suddenly felt a gaze as solid as a substance cast upon her from behind. She immediately turned to look, and when she saw a burly, shirtless man, her expression became solemn.
The face was now extremely terrifying, with black veins covering its body and face, making it look nothing like a human. She vaguely recognized the face, but it was actually the high priest?
With a thought, she immediately mobilized ten upgraded puppets to stand beside her to protect her.
The high priest became like this, he must have taken some forbidden drugs that increased his power but had extremely strong side effects.
The puppet has great martial arts skills and can move his mind at will, making it safer to protect her.
"Jiang Youzhen, don't think you are invincible! Today I will let you see what it means that there are always people better than you." The high priest snorted coldly.
"Hmph! I don't know what kind of power-enhancing drug you took that turned you into a half-human, half-ghost. You still have the nerve to say that there are always people better than you? You can't do without me today, and you will definitely not survive." Jiang Youzhen sneered.
"Then you try! I will take your head today and hang it on the city wall for public display!" The high priest was immediately furious after being ridiculed by Jiang Youzhen. His muscles swelled up and he actually looked stronger than before.
"Then give me your life!" Jiang Youzhen quickly poured half of his internal energy into the sword and flew towards the high priest.
The high priest roared wildly, and everyone felt as if their ears were buzzing with thunder.
Although his body looked bulky, he was very agile. He quickly moved towards Jiang Youzhen and in the blink of an eye, he threw a punch and caught the long sword that Jiang Youzhen was thrusting at him with his bare hands.
Jiang Youzhen saw that the situation was not right, so he dodged to the side. His sword was almost caught by the high priest, but he just managed to avoid it. However, he was hit by the remaining waves of the high priest's internal force, and his blood was boiling.
She suppressed the rusty taste in her throat and glanced at the high priest in shock.
What kind of medicine is this? After taking it, the internal strength is so strong? And the high priest just wanted to borrow the sword with his bare hands.
"You kid are quite capable. You were able to dodge it and not be seriously injured!" said the high priest in surprise.
