C108 The four chiefs of Imperial Overwatch Council
At the southeast corner of Ming Hui City, above the city.
When Zhao Chao brought his subordinates over to the city wall, they saw an elder and an elder whispering near the city wall. Due to the fact that their backs were facing him, the Zhao Chao was not able to see their faces clearly.
There were a few people dressed as city guards generals standing by the side, with some soldiers standing on the side. However, whether it was the generals or soldiers, they were all waiting for orders, the more they looked at Zhao Chao, the weirder it felt. How could he let a dignified city guard general wait on his side for orders?
Zhao Chao took two steps forward, but couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Even Action Five has sent out some heavyweight to assist us, so another grand character coming is nothing. It's better for me to hurry up and greet them!"
However, when Zhao Chao arrived in front of this person and was about to size him up, he was shocked speechless.
"Subordinate is Zhao Yiyang, dodging orders for the Surveillance Council, greets Chief Duanmu!" Zhao Chao bowed respectfully, not daring to slight him in the slightest. One must know that the other party could be said to be the true Director level, an existence only second to the Headmaster.
"Oh, I know you. You've taken charge of the operation this time, and you've done well. Before coming here, I received a letter from the dean, and the letter also mentioned you. The dean appreciates your performance in the operation!" The one who spoke was Duanmu Weili. If Murong Badao was here right now, he would have definitely sent the old man flying off the city walls with a slap and added with, "You really know how to act!"
"No, this is your subordinate's responsibility!" Zhao Chao modestly replied.
"You guys came at the right time, immediately through the Surveillance Council's channels, bring a large amount of medicinal ingredients from the surrounding cities to this place!" Duanmu Weili instructed the Zhao Chao, then turned to the young man beside him and said: "Xiaosheng, help the Zhao Chao, and tell him what ingredients you need to gather!"
"Yes, Father!" He and his father left the Murong Family together. Originally, he wanted to go with his father to Situ Family to get some food, but after father received the message, he brought him and sped towards the southeast along the way, and even met a black-clothed old man along the way. He looked at as if he had nothing to do and thought that the youth was just an old pervert.
Seeing his own son leaving with the Surveillance Council, Duanmu Weili was a little suspicious of himself. Was it right to let his son come into contact with the authorities so early on?
Although Duanmu Xiaosheng was not the only male member of the Duanmu Family, among the few children, Duanmu Xiaosheng's medical skills and conduct was the most satisfactory for Duanmu Weili, and had already mentioned this to him a long time ago, to let him enter the courtyard to train and become the successor to all four places in the Surveillance Council. However, Duanmu Weili had been considering this matter for a long time, and had never made a decision on it, so if it wasn't for the urgent matter at hand, Duanmu Weili wanted his son to be together with him.
Although Duanmu Weili missed the turn of the nine cycles and eighteen turns, it had actually only lasted for an instant. After calming himself down, he started to make arrangements for the current situation.
"Generals, please cooperate with this old man to get rid of the poison smoke first!" Duanmu Weili turned to look at the generals, and said with a stern face.
"As you command, Sir!" If it was that Zhao Chao from before, they would not have thought much of him. There were several officials whose official titles were even higher than that of Zhao Chao, but this old man could not tolerate a few generals showing off. Not to mention his official position, even if he had that shining golden genius doctor's son, it would be worth it for them to curry favor with him. Furthermore, all of the Level 1 and 2 Martial Generals in Surveillance Council were at least at the commander level. Furthermore, all of the Martial Generals in the capital were at least a level higher than the local Martial Generals.
If the title of 'Godly Doctor' was worth fawning over, then looking at the official title of the Lord, it would be impossible not to fawn over him!
"Fine, this matter is urgent. I won't stand on formalities with the generals!"
"Please instruct me!" This subordinate will do his best! "
"Okay, now I need all the water dragon guns and a large number of buckets. I also need to divide the city guards into two groups, with five teams each to carry out the work of fetching and spraying water. Of these two parts, one of them is responsible for spraying the poisonous smoke towards the city, while the other is responsible for the city, preventing the poisonous smoke from spreading. "
"Yes, this subordinate will arrange it right away!" With that, one of the generals turned around to make the arrangements.
"Also, send people to gather all the medicinal ingredients in the city, capture them according to the names written on the list, and then use a big pot to boil them. After making the potions, pour them into the water sprayed by the city walls, which can greatly restrain the spread of the poisonous smoke. This list is mainly for the infected people who have already taken it. Although the scope of the poison's attack is large, the antidote is not too difficult, and the doctors in the city who have a slight knowledge of the art of medicine are fully qualified! "
"Yes, your subordinate accepts the order!" After saying that, another general turned around to make the arrangements.
"Also, gather the carriages in the city and head to the various cities to assist the Zhao Chao. We can't buy a large amount of medicinal herbs without a carriage. I reckon that the medicinal herbs in the city are limited, so it would probably be insufficient for him to use them for this incident. He should try his best to gather as many medicinal herbs as possible! "
"Yes, your subordinate will do it right away!" Rest assured, my lord! " The rest of the generals present bowed in unison.
Seeing the City Guards and other generals leaving in a hurry, Duanmu Weili was not worried about the situation here, but about the Situ Family! After all, that poison had mysteriously disappeared. Was it absorbed by something or was it hidden? Will there be a relapse? What about the child in Murong Fenghuang's womb? Could they live to produce it? This was something that the distinguished genius doctor like him did not know. Thinking about it, Duanmu Weili's heart started to feel bitter.
"Even if we can successfully give birth, I'm afraid that the child ?" Duanmu Weili said to himself as he stood on the city wall and looked towards the north.
In the Ming Hui City, in the Wang Family mansion, a fierce battle was continuing.
With a loud bang, the entire mansion of the Wang family shook. It could be seen that the situation of the battle was exceptionally intense.
Sure enough, the wooden stakes that had been used to hang corpses in the mansion were scattered on the ground. Even the corpses of the Wang family members were sent flying several meters away by the shockwave, lying on the ground in disarray.
"You two old bastards, do you really think I'm a soft persimmon? I have been hunted countless times in my life, and have experienced all sorts of storms and waves. The white-clothed old man was no longer as calm as he had been earlier. His clothes were covered in traces of dirt, and many places were torn apart. His neat, white beard and disheveled hair made him seem like a person who had gone through a fierce battle; those who didn't know him would definitely think he was an elder of the Beggar's Gang.
"I didn't expect that after being hit by that powder, you would still have such a good combat strength. It seems that I have underestimated you!" black-clothed old man said playfully, but no matter how you looked at his expression, it seemed like he was playing cat and mouse.
"Alright, hurry up and finish the battle. There's no time to waste on him!" The grey-robed old man, whose words were precious like gold, could not help but remind the black-robed old man.
"Got it, you little bastard. You don't know how to fight!" Hey, Old Man Bai, I'm going to attack, are you ready?! He had just warmed up! Are you warm? " The first sentence was to answer the grey-robed old man beside him, while the second sentence was directed at the white-robed old man.
"You ?" When white-robed old man heard this, his beard almost stood up. This was too infuriating, your warm up specializes in ruining other people's clothes. Looking at his miserable appearance, white-robed old man was a little angry and knew what was going on.
A long pitch-black blade appeared out of nowhere in the black hands of the black clad old man. A cold light flashed from the blade's blade, and he could vaguely feel a faint killing intent from the blade.
The grey-robed elder didn't say anything more. With a wave of his hand, a layer of dust appeared before him. Afterwards, he disappeared from sight.
But white-robed old man knew that this old fogey must be hiding in his own illusions. Neither of these two old men was his problem, but one of them could not even go up against him, let alone two at the same time.
Without giving white-robed old man more time to lament, he only saw that black-clothed old man's figure had already disappeared from where he was standing just a moment ago. When he reappeared, he was already just half a meter away from white-robed old man.
If he had been even a second late, even if he hadn't lost his head, he would have been unable to keep his face. Fortunately, he had dodged it swiftly, his life was still around and he hadn't lost his face.
Right now, in a desolate wilderness, there were no mountains, and no skies. All that could be seen was the dark clouds on the ground and the sky above.
Then, white-robed old man clearly felt the droplets of rain falling from the sky. The droplets fell on his face, and that kind of cool and moist sensation didn't seem to be fake at all. But in the next second, the raindrops in the sky had already formed a series of lines.
The white clad old man immediately regained his senses, focusing fully on defending against the surrounding area. Now, not only did he have to guard against the blade wielder, he also had to defend against this illusionist who didn't even know her specific abilities.
The reason why he was not clear was mainly because of the unique characteristic of the illusionist. Although the illusionist was divided into four categories, these divisions were also split into a few factions. As long as one did not fight with the illusionist, it was impossible to find out what aspect of Phantom Skills they were truly proficient in.
But not long after using white-robed old man to wait, a big hole suddenly appeared in the space in front of white-robed old man. Following that, a large black blade with a cold light appeared, and the tip of the blade pierced straight towards white-robed old man's abdomen.
The white-robed old man reacted quickly and flew away to retreat, but the black blade was still there like a shadow, its tip maintaining a distance of one centimeter away from the white-robed old man's abdomen. Although he retreated quickly, the tip of the blade was still there, following him steadily.
However, the white-robed old man was completely dumbfounded after that. His eyes were wide open as he looked at what was in front of him. His expression was a bit incredulous as the black blade and the black-robed old man suddenly turned into countless droplets of water.
Just as the white-clothed old man was still wondering why the person in front of him had turned into a droplet of water, the sound of a sword breaking through the wind came from behind him.
"This is bad!" white-robed old man shouted loudly, and rolled forward without caring about his image. He was a little anxious when he retreated just now, and this time he wanted to roll forward again, which resulted in his feet still retreating, but his head sticking out in front. Then, he used the standard method of "five bodies on the ground". The black-clothed old man felt his balls hurt a little. After all, the egg landed on the ground first.
Even though he dodged with great difficulty, he was still unable to evade the sneak attack of the long saber on his back. A long scar appeared on the back of the old man in white clothes, and blood stained his clothes.
