The regent's spoiled princess wakes up

Chapter 173 It's him!

"What does the medicine man corps look like?" Zhao Shuang frowned, and tightly squeezed the teacup in his hand.

"Wearing a black robe, wearing armor on his head, and holding a spear." Mao Hu recalled, "The general picked up the helmets of a few medicine men and found that they did not look like northerners, nor were they as tall as northerners. but thin and strong, dark-skinned,"

"They were originally barbarians from western Yunnan, but they were brought to the north to be made into medicine men," Zhao Shuang asked again, "Are medicine men really invulnerable?"

"Back to the princess, the medicine men are not really invulnerable. The last general killed several medicine men and their horses," Mao Hu said, with a frightened expression on his face, "but those medicine men just fell. Suddenly, a dark cloud covered the sun, and strange noises came from the big tent behind them. The dead medicine man and war horse suddenly stood up again, and even the severed hands and feet were reattached as before. Despite the bloodstains on his face, the offensive did not weaken, and even after seeing the blood, the medicine man's offensive was even more courageous than before."

"That's true..." Zhao Shuang bit her lip, then frowned and asked, "You just said... what is that strange noise?"

"It's like... like the sound of a horn, or someone is chanting some spells in a low voice," Mao Hu recalled, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "That's right! Princess, there is one more thing, I don't know if I should say it ..."

"Say." Zhao Shuang was thinking quickly.

horn?spell?The medicine man's recovery of mobility must be driven by something, if that thing is removed, the entire medicine man corps will be defeated.

"Princess, then...the leader of the medicine man corps, if the general is not mistaken, it seems to be..." Mao Hu put down the cat in his arms, and gave her a meaningful look, "It seems that he came to the Habayashi Guard that day. The one who rescued you from the barracks... Cheng Shaoqing."

"Dangdang!"

The teacup in the woman's hand fell down.

"Meow!" The tabby cat just landed on all fours, staggered again in fright, jumped upright and threw itself into Mao Hu's arms.

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Shuang stood up regardless of the tea on her body and scolded, "How could my loyal minister of the Great Zhou become the leader of the Yaoren Corps?!"

"The last general will never dare to tell half a lie!" Mao Hu also stood up, hugged the cat and swore, "If you don't believe me...you can ask Linghu Kong if you don't believe me!"

"Princess, the last general also saw it." Linghukong stood up and cupped his hands towards her, "Not only that day, but also several times later, the last general stood on the wall of the capital and saw it... Cheng Shaoqing, he was in Beiliang country. In the barracks, it seems that... he even became a general."

Zhao Shuang was silent for a while, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

Cheng Qian is loyal to the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is impossible for him to surrender to the enemy unless...

She pinched her fingers into the palm of her hand, leaving a deep bloodstain.

Xiao Yan, the new emperor of Beiliang, really deserved to die for turning Cheng Qian into a medicine man?

"What weakness do those medicine men have?" Zhao Shuang sat down in a daze when the atmosphere eased.

"The final general and General Linghu have studied for several days, but they haven't found any weakness in the Yaoren Corps." Mao Hu said, and glanced at Linghu Kong, "But the final general always feels that they... have a gloomy look on their faces. His eyes were empty, as if... he wasn't looking at anyone at all."

"The medicine people are all dead people, so they naturally look gloomy." As soon as Zhao Shuang finished speaking, Mao Hu trembled, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Dead people?" Mao Hu was so frightened that he hugged the cat tightly in his hand and opened his eyes wide, "But they are still... still moving!"

"I read in a book before that there are two kinds of spells that can keep the dead." Zhao Shuang said with a slight concentration, looking at the shadow on the wall, "one is to keep the soul of the dead and recreate it for it." Immortal body, so that the dead are reborn. The other... is to retain the body of the dead, and inject strong willpower into the body of the dead as a soul, so that the retained dead are like walking corpses, without memory or consciousness. The medicine man is the latter."

"Then...then is there any way to break the medicine man's spell?" The big bearded man was sitting obediently at this time, holding the cat on his body with both hands, speaking in an extremely humble voice.

One person, one cat, quiet and dare not make mistakes.

Mao Hu is a military general. He has been a soldier for the first half of his life and has rarely experienced defeat, so he is often defiant. Even in front of the regent, he can say whatever he wants with his military merit.

But people always have something to fear. For a military general like Mao Hu who is used to seeing life and death, death is not a terrible thing. What is really scary is something beyond life and death that he cannot understand.

Since he narrowly escaped from the pursuit of the Yaoren Corps last time, Mao Hu's mood has changed, and he is no longer willing to go out of the city to meet the enemy, preferring to stick to the city.

"The medicine man's body won't be destroyed, it's useless to chop it however you want, even ordinary flames... can't hurt them at all." Flame, the flame fluctuated from big to small, slowly beating, "The entire medicine man corps is supported by the willpower of one person, so they are uniform, and the only way to destroy the medicine man corps is to destroy the will of the person behind them." force."

"Princess, what you're talking about...is it Cheng Qian?" Linghu Kong had an idea. Since Cheng Qian is the leader of the Yaoren Corps, isn't he the commander behind the Yaoren?

Hearing Cheng Qian's name, Zhao Shuang closed his eyes unconsciously, and opened them again after a while, "Although I don't know the exact reason, Cheng Qian should have died, and he himself became one of the medicine men. He is not the person behind the scenes. No matter what, as long as the new emperor of Beiliang is caught and asked clearly, he will know."

"Cheng Shaoqing...it's so pitiful, you can't rest in the ground even if you die..." Mao Hu muttered.

"Those who cast evil spells act against the heavens," Zhao Shuang said with firm eyes, concentrating, "I shall act on behalf of the heavens and restore the peace of the dead."

Linghukong and Maohu were deeply shocked when they saw her righteous and dignified appearance, and felt that the princess was really different from before, but they couldn't tell what was the difference.

"Princess, what are your plans?" Linghu Kong asked with his fists clasped.

"In a few days, I will go out of the city and go to the northern border to quell the chaos." Zhao Shuang glanced at the two people in front of him, and said seriously, "Mingjing and Habayashi Wei are with me, you two... Who is willing to follow Bengong out of the city?"

Linghukong and Maohu looked at each other, thinking that the princess is going out of the city at this time, isn't she going to die?
"Princess, it's not that the last general is greedy for life and fears death, but...the Shang capital is in critical condition. If the last general and General Mao leave, then the last capital will be even more difficult to defend!" Linghukong glanced at the night outside the door. , sighed, "Why don't we write another letter to General Cui in the southern border, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive..."

"Linghu Kong," Zhao Shuang leaned back, leaned back on the chair, felt some pain in his shoulders and neck, stretched his neck and said, "The Long Xiaowei in your hand, I remember that it used to belong to Wei Ruqing, General Wei used to fight with the palace in the north..."
