Chapter 379: Strange
The black snake bit King Yan and then returned to the old man, wrapped itself around his arm and spit out its tongue.
But in an instant, King Yan became confused and watched the old man approaching step by step with blurry eyes.
With a bang, King Yan fell down.
The old man walked up to King Yan and squatted down, stretching his skinny and wrinkled hands towards King Yan's ears.
A black insect crawled out from the inside of the old man's arm and crawled into King Yan's ear.
The King of Yan had lost all his senses and was unaware of anything, nor did he see the insect enter his body through his ear.
The next second, his eyes went dark and he passed out.
At this time, the enemy troops were defeated by the prince and his men and fled here.
"Mr. Wu, let's go!" The old man was pulled away by someone.
The prince saw the Prince of Yan lying on the ground from a distance and was immediately horrified. He shouted, "Third brother!"
When the prince ran to the Prince of Yan, he found that he was unconscious, with two tiny tooth marks on his neck, surrounded by a purple-black color.
The Crown Prince was extremely anxious and immediately ordered, "Send the Prince of Yan back to the camp immediately and ask the ancient military doctor to treat him."
"promise!"
On the other side of the night, Ye Wuhen was leading the pursuit, and General Zhenguo led his troops following closely behind.
When they reached a mountain path, Qiu Jian, ignoring the soldiers behind him who had not yet reached safety, shouted, "Shoot!"
As his voice fell, a rain of arrows shot out from both sides of the mountain path, and rocks rolled down the mountain.
At the same time, no one knew what Qiu Jian and the others had done, but a black fog suddenly rose on the road ahead.
Ye Wuhen and the Xia army that followed him retreated urgently while defending against the arrows, not daring to pursue further.
General Zhenguo glanced at Ye Wuhen beside him and wondered in his heart - who is this masked man, and what is that explosive thing he threw?
Ye Wuhen and the killers from the Xuesha Pavilion wore masks to cover their faces during the days they participated in the battle, and their food and lodging were separated from the soldiers.
They did not communicate with others, so no one on the battlefield knew who they were except Lu Yunting.
Lu Yunting and Ye Wuhen also tacitly pretended not to know each other, even more unfamiliar than strangers.
Ye Wuhen was worried that Emperor Yuan would be even more wary of Lu Yunting if he knew that he was the supporter behind him, thus making it difficult for Jiang Yueyang.
Lu Yunting was worried that outsiders would find out Ye Wuhen's identity from him, causing trouble for Ye Wuhen.
The night was as dark as ink. Ye Wuhen looked deeply at the black fog in front of him for a while, then turned his horse around and went back.
General Zhenguo hurriedly followed, "I've been with you for many days, but I still don't know your name."
Ye Wuhen glanced at him and said nothing.
If someone else did this, they would think Ye Wuhen was an arrogant and rude guy.
But General Zhenguo didn't, because he didn't see any contempt in Ye Wuhen's eyes.
He knew that Ye Wuhen's glance just now did not mean any disrespect, he simply did not want to tell his name.
General Zhenguo is not a person who likes to get involved in things, but this time he is determined to understand Ye Wuhen.
Therefore, he continued to persevere and said, "It's okay if you don't want to tell me your name, just give me a nickname."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuhen glanced at General Zhenguo again, thinking with a little impatience - this guy has no tact at all, doesn't he see that I don't want to pay attention to him?
General Zhenguo certainly had good eyesight, but he pretended not to see it and spoke again: "If your Excellency does not want to tell me, then forget it.
But for the sake of convenience, I may need to give you a temporary name. Hmm...you wear a mask all day long, so why not call you Mianmian?"
Ye Wuhen: “…”
Go to your face, do you know how to name it?
General Zhenguo did it on purpose. He wanted to disgust Ye Wuhen so that Ye Wuhen would voluntarily tell him his name.
Although it may not be his real name, as long as he opens his mouth, they will have the opportunity to have a deeper communication.
General Zhenguo asked, "What do you think of this name? If you think it's okay, then I will..."
"Mu Ye." Ye Wuhen interrupted him in a cold voice.
General Zhenguo smiled slightly, "Your name is Mu Ye?"
"Ah."
"What a nice name! Your father must be a very talented person." General Zhenguo praised with very few words.
Ye Wuhen snorted in his heart. His cheap father could hardly read or write, but he was good at killing good people.
"Mr. Mu, I would like to thank you for joining us in the fight. After the battle is over, I will treat you to a drink."
"No need." Ye Wuhen refused.
"Mr. Mu, don't worry about revealing your identity. This general will find a secret place and won't let outsiders be present."
Ye Wuhen didn't want to say more to him, so he squeezed the horse's belly and rode away.
General Zhenguo reacted quickly and rode up to catch up. "Master Mu, after victory, you must not leave without saying goodbye."
Ye Wuhen snorted lightly and said deliberately: "General, it's too early to speak. We may not win this battle yet."
"With what Master Mu has, Daxia will surely win."
Hearing this, Ye Wuhen suddenly smiled. It turned out that he wanted to find out the grenade in his hand.
"Mr. Mu, disregarding his own safety, spontaneously went into battle to kill the enemy. I'm sure he doesn't wish for the fall of Great Xia. In that case, why don't you and I make a careful plan and wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop..."

On the Crown Prince's side, Prince Yan was rushed back to the camp. After Lu Yunting learned that Prince Yan was injured, he immediately called Gu Lan to treat him.
As soon as Gu Lan saw the teeth marks on King Yan's neck, he knew that he had been poisoned by a snake, and immediately fed him an antidote pill.
But when he took the pulse of King Yan, he felt something was wrong. The poisonous snake that bit King Yan seemed to be just an ordinary poisonous snake, and its venom was not overbearing.
Normally, when two sides are fighting, if the other side has the opportunity to attack the King of Yan, it should take his life.
But King Yan is still alive...
Why is that?
Is there another conspiracy, or is it a panicked act to save one's life?
Seeing Gu Lan's thoughtful look, Lu Yunting couldn't help but ask, "Gu Lan, is there something wrong?"
Gu Lan came back to his senses and said slowly: "It's a bit strange. The snake venom in King Yan is very mild. The venom is not as strong as those of poisonous insects."
The prince frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"It seems the other party deliberately spared the life of King Yan."
"How could it be?" The prince subconsciously thought it was impossible. "How could they deliberately spare my third brother's life?"
"That's why I find it weird."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the tent fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Lu Yunting said, "Gu Lan, show yourself to King Yan again."
"Yes, you should take a closer look at it, Third Brother. Maybe the poison only looks mild, but it is actually very powerful."
Gu Lan nodded, "Ziyue, ask someone to call Ling'er over for me."
After the war broke out, the doctors in the city, the imperial physicians in the palace, and Senior Brother Gu Lan and his sister all acted as military doctors to treat the injured soldiers.
Lu Yunting looked at Xu An, and Xu An immediately went out to find someone.
Gu Lan looked at the two soldiers in the tent and said, "You two, strip the King of Yan of his clothes. I want to see if there are any other wounds."
Two soldiers immediately stepped forward to take off the clothes of King Yan.
After an examination, it was found that the King of Yan had no other wounds except for a few previous sword wounds, and there was nothing wrong with his pulse.
Gu Lan looked at the unconscious King Yan lying on the bed, frowning in thought - was he overthinking?
Just as he was thinking, Gu Ling'er came.
"Senior brother, are you looking for me?"
"Take a look at King Yan and see if there's anything wrong with him."
