Chapter 298 Yanan Mountain
After returning to Kyoto, Su Tang received another letter from Qi Lingheng.
It’s just that the time interval between the letters arriving this time was a little long.
Fortunately, Qi Lingheng remained safe as always, and the letter did not mention anything unusual in southern Xinjiang.
"Didn't you ask the messenger why this letter came later than usual?" Su Tang put the letter back into the space and asked Chunmei.
Su Tang has always left people in Kyoto to keep an eye on any news sent from southern Xinjiang to Kyoto. Even if it is not a letter sent back by Qi Lingheng, Su Tang will also receive information.
For example, Su Tang had people paying attention to the news sent back to Kyoto by Emperor Jing's men or other forces in the capital who were sent to southern Xinjiang.
Of course, Su Tang just looked at who had sent messages and how frequent the messages were. As for what those people said in the letters, she had no idea.
"The messenger said that a few days ago, the southern Xinjiang army marched towards the border city and brought a lot of poisonous insects to attack the city. Fortunately, the people in the hands of the King of Qi had special weapons, and they burned all the poisonous insects to death, causing heavy losses to the southern Xinjiang army. The southern Xinjiang army attacked intermittently for three or four days before it stopped. The King of Qi also waited until the war was slightly stable before sending the letter back."
Su Tang nodded after hearing this and said, "We will set off for Southern Xinjiang tomorrow."
"Yes." Chunmei responded and went to prepare. Although there was no shortage of supplies in Su Tang's space, Meizhuang had collected a lot of medicinal herbs in the past few days. Su Tang had instructed before that she should go around there when she left, collect the medicinal herbs in the space, and take them with her to southern Xinjiang.
Su Tang’s idea was good, but something special happened on Su Tang’s side that afternoon.
The time for Su Tang to go to southern Xinjiang was actually postponed a little.
"Master." Thirteen was sent out to investigate the situation in Yanan Mountain a few days ago, and he brought back some special news this afternoon.
There was indeed something strange about Yanan Mountain. Thirteen went a few kilometers into the mountain this time. "The outer part of Yanan Mountain is full of poisonous insects. Fortunately, I brought the insect repellent powder you gave me, but there are too many poisonous insects over there. I ran out of insect repellent and couldn't go any further."
"Why are there so many poisonous insects in Dayong?" Su Tang asked in confusion, "Chunmei, have you heard of it?"
"No, even in the forest, there are only snakes and rats. This is the first time we have heard of a situation like what Thirteen described."
"Or, let's go over there and take a look before going to southern Xinjiang." Su Tang thought that with Tian Ningxue by his side, these poisonous insects might not be that difficult to deal with.
After thinking it over, Su Tang went to Meizhuang in the suburbs of Beijing that day and put all the herbs into the space.
in space.
Su Tang said to Tian Ningxue: "Ningxue, can you make a medicine bag to repel poisonous insects?"
"That depends on what kind of poisonous insect it is." On the way back, Tian Ningxue was brought into a space by Su Tang. In the space, although Tian Ningxue could not move around freely, Su Tang still allocated a certain amount of space for Tian Ningxue so that she could move freely.
The place where Tian Ningxue was temporarily staying was the small gymnasium where she had stayed when she was captured alive by Su Tang. Tian Ningxue was the only one here, but with Tian Ningxue's personality, she felt that it was okay for her to be alone.
"I don't know either. It should be some snakes, centipedes, poisonous spiders or something like that." That was all Su Tang could think of.
But Tian Ningxue grew up in the forbidden area of southern Xinjiang and had seen a lot of poisonous insects. After thinking for a while, Tian Ningxue and Su Tang said the names of several herbs.
She needed some time to prepare the anthelmintic medicine sachets. After giving instructions to Su Tang and Tian Ningxue, she took Shisan and a group of secret guards and set off for Yanan Mountain.
It just so happens that Tian Ningxue should be able to be adjusted during this time on the road.
This time Su Tang and Shisan traveled on horseback, so it only took them half a day to reach Yanan Mountain.
"This is Yanan Mountain!" As expected, when you can see Yanan Mountain from afar, there are few people around, and the road originally built by the government office is covered with weeds.
Fortunately, Thirteen was very good at finding his way. Even though there was no road ahead, Thirteen brought Su Tang to the foot of Yanan Mountain.
It was just past noon and the midday sun felt warm on her body. Su Tang stood at the foot of the mountain and did not feel any dangerous atmosphere in the mountain.
"Let's investigate first." Su Tang said, and released a few people from the space.
These people were all wearing camouflage uniforms. Except for their long hair tied up, they looked no different from modern soldiers. When they came out, they each held some special equipment in their hands.
Although Thirteen had seen these people dressed like this before and had seen the strange objects in their hands, Su Tang didn't tell him to touch them, and he consciously only looked at them from a distance and never thought of exploring.
In his opinion, if the master had a secret and didn't want to tell him, he shouldn't meddle in other people's business, let alone be curious.
Soon, these people followed Su Tang's instructions, controlled the equipment to fly into the sky, and flew towards the depths of Yanan Mountain.
The thirteen looked at the high-scoring devices silently, and then began to stand guard around Su Tang.
"This is a drone. It can observe the surrounding environment." Su Tang walked to a laptop and said as she looked at the images sent back by several drones.
Thirteen did not reply, only thinking that he and Su Tang should remain at a safe distance.
"Don't you want to come and take a look?" Su Tang suddenly turned to Shisan and asked.
"Me? What are you looking at?"
"Hey, come and take a look. I heard them say that you never looked at the equipment they were fiddling with in space. Aren't you curious?"
"I won't look unless the master tells me to." Thirteen's words seemed to make some sense.
"Come and take a look. I didn't say I couldn't let you see it. Otherwise, I wouldn't let you walk around freely in the space." Su Tang waved at Shisan.
Thirteen also knew that after the woman named Ali entered the space, her range of activities was restricted.
Thirteen took a few steps forward and walked to the laptop that Su Tang was pointing at.
"These are the images taken by those drones. Take a look and see if there are any places you have been to before."
Just now, those people released several drones flying in several directions.
Su Tang thought about exploring Yanan Mountain from a high place first, and then they would consider whether to go in or not.
"Here." Thirteen looked for a while. Although he was surprised by the scenes displayed by Su Tang's equipment, he was always a man of few words, so if Su Tang didn't say anything, he wouldn't ask.
Thirteen pointed to an image, and Su Tang looked over there. The vegetation over there was not tall, but all low, so she could see the surrounding environment clearly.
Su Tang found the person who was controlling the drone and lowered the drone a little bit. She also specially adjusted and enlarged the image.
Soon, Su Tang and the others followed the drone's camera and saw horrifying images.
I saw that the ground in front of me was densely covered with various black insects, and there were also many colorful snakes crawling among them.
Among the grass in this green space, Su Tang saw many bones. In addition to those of animals, there seemed to be many human bones.
