Chapter 2336 Bring a Message 33.0

After getting off the stage, Xue Ruitian used the excuse that he had something to say to Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu, asked Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and the others to go first, and pulled his two younger brothers aside.

"Brother Xiaotian?" Shen Jiu looked at Xue Ruitian in confusion, "What do you want to tell us? Is it about the new formation? Don't worry, we will go back and study it carefully, but the training ground will take up more of our time. If brothers from other camps report it to you, or to your sister and brother, you have to explain it for us."

"If we are allowed to use the training ground at night, then we won't have to use it during the day." Xia Jiu also said, "It won't delay the training of brothers from other camps. What do you think?"

"I can still make the decision on this matter." Xue Ruitian nodded, took out a token from his bosom and handed it to Shen Jiu, "You can use it at night. Light more torches so that you can see more clearly. You don't have to guard or charge the formation yourself all the time. You should also stand on a high place and, as an outsider, look at your formation objectively to see if there are any problems. If you are really unsure, feel free to come to us or the generals of other camps. They will not refuse."

"But aren't we the ones who are primarily responsible? They are only responsible for selecting soldiers in the camp who are suitable for this formation and handing them over to us, that's all."

"What do you mean that's all? Although the important task of rehearsing the new formation is entrusted to you, those generals cannot just sit back and do nothing. They must shoulder the responsibilities they should shoulder." Xue Ruitian shook his head, "I will tell them. You don't have to worry about this."

"Okay!" Shen Jiu accepted the token and saluted towards Xue Ruitian, "Then it's settled. We will definitely trouble them if we have any problems."

"Nothing else." Xia Jiu also bowed, "Shall we go?"

"Come back!" Xue Ruitian grabbed the two boys by the collars and pulled them back. "I'm not looking for you for this matter. It's related to Yanyou."

"Yanyou?" Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu looked at each other. "What's the matter with Yanyou? Didn't we just say that we don't plan to..."

"What are you not planning to do? You are not planning to cause trouble to him? You are not planning to beat him up? Do you feel guilty saying this?" Xue Ruitian snorted, tapped the two men on the forehead, and said, "Don't use your little tricks in front of us, they are all left over from our play!"

"Brother, what you said is not right. Since we promised not to cause trouble to him, we definitely won't do that."

"Yeah!" Shen Jiu nodded, his eyes flickering, avoiding Xue Ruitian, "No."

"You should really look at what you look like now. You are guilty and are simply confessing your crimes." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Tell me the truth, are you two planning to find an opportunity to beat up Yanyou before he leaves the border?"

"Ah? How did you know?" Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu looked at each other, "Were we so obvious?"

"Your little calculations are written all over your faces, isn't it obvious enough? If she didn't know what you wanted to do, why did your sister ask about Miaomiao and Yanyou's situation just now? Don't we know what his current situation is? Why did you have to ask specifically?" Xue Ruitian flicked them again, "I said that deliberately for you to hear, so that you wouldn't make trouble and ruin your sister's plan. If Yanyou can't return to Master Falian smoothly because of you, see if your sister can forgive you!"

"But why is this happening? When did this guy become so fragile?"

"In our impression, Yanyou is a tough guy, so we should be able to handle a beating. But..." Shen Jiu looked at Xia Jiu, then at Xue Ruitian, puzzled, and said, "Just now, I heard what my sister and Miaomiao said, and I realized that after not seeing him for so many years, this guy seems to be very fragile and is about to die. Why is that?"

Xue Ruitian sighed and briefly explained the relationship and function between Master Falian, Yanyou and Feisheng Powder. "Feisheng Powder?" Shen Jiu looked gloomy, and said after exchanging a glance with Xia Jiu, "I've never heard of this medicine before, but the situation you described was something we saw on the battlefield two years ago."

"Two years ago?" Xue Ruitian frowned. "The battle in which Wanyan Ping personally led 50,000 troops to attack the border, but lost 30,000 men?"

"Yes, it was that battle." Shen Jiu nodded, "In that battle, we captured nearly a thousand people, but..." He sighed softly and said, "No one was left alive. They all died overnight. Later, the doctors in the camp came to see them and confirmed that they died from serious injuries, but..." He looked at Xue Ruitian and shook his head softly, "That's not the case."

"There are indeed some seriously injured, but there are also many lightly injured. They were captured because their injuries were not conducive to walking." Xia Jiu sighed, "I have personally confirmed this part. I am sure that their injuries are not fatal. But it was these non-fatal injuries that caused them to lose their lives. We once suspected whether to kill them to silence them, but they were just ordinary soldiers who knew nothing and had no reason to be silenced. In addition, the doctor confirmed that apart from their wounds, there was no other factor that led to their death, so..."

"It's understandable that you didn't think of it at the time. After all, it was only at this time that we learned about the Ascension Powder and its effects." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Jiu and Xia Jiu, "You don't have to blame yourselves."

"We don't blame ourselves, but looking back now, we realized that we overlooked a very important issue."

"What is it?"

"The doctor did tell us at the time that their wounds would not stop bleeding, and no matter how good the medicine was, it would be useless for them." Shen Jiu sighed softly and looked at Xue Ruitian, "But even if I thought of it, it wouldn't change anything."

"Hmm." Xia Jiu found a place to lean on, stroking his chin while recalling, "Seriously speaking, it is also quite strange. Since that time, we have hardly captured a living prisoner. Even if we did, they would not survive until the next day."

"Yes!" Shen Jiu nodded, "But we don't care. Even if we capture these prisoners, they will die in the end." He looked at the silent Xue Ruitian, and exchanged glances with Xia Jiu, "Brother Xiaotian? What's wrong?"

"The situation you are talking about started two years ago?"

"Yeah!" Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu nodded at the same time, "It has never appeared before."

"I understand!" Xue Ruitian patted their shoulders, "What you said is very useful. If we can win without fighting because of it," he smiled at the two of them, "you two will have done a great deed."

"that would be great!"

"But!" Xue Ruitian narrowed his eyes and warned them, "You are still not allowed to attack Yanyou. Do you hear me?"

"understood!"

Now the two children were really well behaved. They dared not have any other thoughts, for fear of ruining Shen Cha's plan.
