Chapter 1384: Chapter 1379: The Method to Conquer Long Guan City

Su Yingxue held Chu Yihan, telling him not to worry too much. The consecutive battles over the past few days had certainly exhausted him.

When she arrived, Mo Qi had mentioned that he hadn’t rested properly at all, not even closing his eyes once.

Chu Yihan told Su Yingxue, “The troops are now near Long Guan City, but the city is full of millions of gu corpses, countless in number. How to deploy the troops, and how many to deploy, is not an easy question.”

If they wanted to enhance training to let the soldiers cope comfortably with the gu corpses, it would inevitably take a long time.

But this would further involve rear support and issues with food and forage supplies.

Moreover, the more they delayed, the more respite they gave Chen Ruobai.

By the time she had gathered her strength, the battle ahead would likely be even tougher.

Su Yingxue said, “Xiao Yu had Xiao Qingyu deliver food and forage supplies, promising that the Xiao family would fully support this battle without using the treasury’s money.”

Although Chu Yihan was relieved, he still playfully flicked Su Yingxue’s nose and reminded her, “Xiao Yu’s actions benefit both the country and the people, but he certainly has his own considerations. What he wants in exchange, I will still have to negotiate with him.”

Just like before, when Su Hao set out to war, Xiao Yu also provided food and forage but in exchange for saving Noble Consort Xiao’s life.

Xiao Yu would never lose his reason,

Or else, he wouldn’t have survived until today.

When Xiao Muyan had him trapped in Narrow Sky, he should have died of hunger and cold.

“Exchange… Xiao Qingyu is also on his way here,” Su Yingxue pondered. He must be carrying a task from Xiao Yu since he insisted on meeting Chu Yihan.

Chu Yihan had also considered that Xiao Yu’s conditions, if not excessive, were not impossible to agree to.

But for now, what troubled him most were the gu corpses in Long Guan City.

Su Yingxue urged him to rest, saying that once he woke up, she would tell him her little suggestion.

Chu Yihan looked at her, “Can’t you say it now?”

“No, you won’t sleep if I tell you. Anyway, the whole army is adjusting now; if you don’t sleep, you’ll only wear yourself out. If you sleep and wake up, I’ll tell you my research on gu corpses,” Su Yingxue teased, playing coy.

Chu Yihan pulled her close, his tone helpless yet indulgent, “In front of the great army, no jokes are to be made.”

“I’m only trying to preserve your majesty’s health, no jokes at all! After all, Your Majesty needs to stay well to fight bravely, doesn’t he?” Su Yingxue playfully winked, her eyes sparkling, and she couldn’t help but purse her lips and giggle.

She wasn’t just being playful; she knew that only by appearing relaxed herself could she lighten the weight in Chu Yihan’s heart and help him sleep.

He truly needed rest.

Su Yingxue’s fingers gently brushed over his eyes, seeing the dark circles below.

It pained her heart to see it.

Chu Yihan’s fatigue had held out for a long time, but in front of Su Yingxue… he truly felt sleepy.

He leaned on Su Yingxue and fell asleep, and she held his hand, both of them resting quite peacefully for a while.

Indeed, Chu Yihan had rested well; when he woke up, daylight was already breaking.

But things were not going well for Lin Sisi, who had already come to stay in the military tent.

Saint Ruan, hands on hips, bellowed out, “This rate of blood consumption, how much blood will be enough?”

The two bowls of blood Chu Yihan had previously set aside should have been enough, if it were Yu Wenrui.

But how much time had passed?

The gu insects in Lin Sisi’s body hadn’t even allowed her body to recover before they devoured all her blood.

There was simply no way she could survive like this.

Chu Yihan had just entered when he heard those words and immediately rolled up his sleeve, extending his arm, “Yingxue, draw my blood and transfuse it to her.”

“Chu Yihan…” Su Yingxue’s face showed some difficulty, “Her injuries are too severe, the speed of blood absorption by the corpse gu is too fast, your blood…” might not be enough!

“Can she wait any longer?” Chu Yihan checked Lin Sisi’s breath, which had vanished again.

He gripped Su Yingxue’s wrist, his voice deepening, “Stop worrying so much, just save her.”

Su Yingxue bit her lip, “Alright.”

After drawing the blood, she continued to transfuse blood to Lin Sisi, and then used Little Ginseng to further examine the internal condition of Lin Sisi.

The gu worm in her heart, nourished by the blood, seemed to come back to life.

But the speed of blood consumption was too fast…

How could Chu Yihan sustain this?

While she was stunned, Chu Yihan had already filled a full container with blood from the tool she was using to draw blood.

Seeing this scene, Su Yingxue couldn’t even manage to stop him.

She hurriedly stuffed a Heart Protection Pill into Chu Yihan’s mouth, “Don’t do this! Losing too much blood, you’ll be in danger too!”

“There’s something pressing on my heart, Lin Sisi must be saved.”

The moment Chu Yihan stood up, he felt dizzy.

He had someone prepare a tonic to replenish blood and also told Su Yingxue, “Immediately find someone with the same blood type as Lin Sisi.”

Su Yingxue nodded, “On my way here I already ordered them to do so, Mo Qi is searching.”

Seeing how tired Chu Yihan was after losing so much blood, Su Yingxue wanted to wait a couple of days to tell him about the method she developed to confront the gu worm, but Chu Yihan hadn’t forgotten.

He sat in the makeshift medicine hut that Su Yingxue had erected, watching her and Saint Ruan, “You two, masters of medicine and poison, have you found the weakness of the corpse gu?”

“We have found it!”

Saint Ruan blurted out.

Su Yingxue kicked him from behind, “Stop with the loose lips; can’t you see he’s so weak right now?”

“Weak? Him?” Saint Ruan rolled his eyes; he could never associate the word ‘weak’ with Chu Yihan in his life.

That’s absurd!

If Chu Yihan were weak, having fought so many battles and faced so many life-and-death situations, he would have met the King of the Underworld long ago!

Still alive after losing some blood—what’s that!

It’s just that Su Yingxue is his woman and is excessively concerned.

Chu Yihan just needed Saint Ruan’s careless talk to stabilize Su Yingxue’s mind, “See, he knows, no need to worry about me. Tell me, what’s the method to deal with the corpse gu.”

Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, but still told him, “It’s hypnotism.”

She and Saint Ruan had experimented many times with the corpse gu and concluded that the best way to combat them was to hypnotize the gu worms inside them, making them sleep!

“Hypnotize the corpse gu? Have you developed a potion?” Chu Yihan’s eyes lit up, full of anticipation.

“We have a potion, but we need to test it on the corpse gu in Long Guan City, as I’m not sure if these were newly created by Chen Ruobai.”

Su Yingxue admitted candidly.

“Saint Ruan, I’ll go with you,” Chu Yihan decided immediately.

Such a task was not something he could allow Su Yingxue to risk.

“I have no objections, but ask your woman if she agrees!” Saint Ruan crossed his arms nonchalantly, his gaze resting on Su Yingxue, playfully sticking out his tongue.
