Overnight, the situation reversed.

General Zhenbei had an army of 500,000 men under his command, and he mobilized 300,000 more troops who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers. In just one night, he successfully recaptured the entire Weiwu County.

Han Dan, the main Mongol general in charge of Weiwu County, was wounded and fled. About 100,000 of the 150,000-strong army were slaughtered. When General Zhenbei led his troops to kill, the entire army was so frightened that their hearts and gallbladders burst and they fled in all directions.

But Prince Anyang was not so lucky, because Tie Juli always kept the emperor's orders in mind, and when he learned that the two counties were attacked, he quickly prepared countermeasures.

Tie Jue Li sent five of his lieutenant generals to garrison Shadun County to guard against General Zhenbei; on the other hand, he personally led five of his lieutenant generals and a large army to support General Guli in Youdu County.

When Gu Li was attacked, he immediately led his soldiers to retreat to Mancang City. Later, he received support from Tie Caltrops, and the two sides confronted each other again.

Before this, Zhen Shanhai, the first general under King Anyang, had a fierce battle with the Mongol Iron Caltrops. It is said that the battle lasted for eight hundred rounds from evening to sunrise, with no clear winner.

In desperation, they had to recall their troops from both sides to end the war.

In the end, King Anyang only recovered half of the territory of Youdu County.

This battle was a first victory with a clear purpose and also a battle that achieved great results.

In one night, a total of about 150,000 Mongolian troops were annihilated, and 21 colonels and seven generals of the army were killed.

The Mongols suffered the worst losses.

Just as the two sides tacitly ceased fighting and counted the gains and losses, no one knew that a light cavalry was heading straight for the Chipan River in Guhuang County.

At this time, at the entrance of the Giant Forest, a large number of herbal farmers, hunters and merchants were gathered together, apparently conducting transactions.

This kind of thing is very common. Herbal farmers want to sell the herbs they pick and hunters want to sell the prey they hunt quickly, and merchants come here to buy at a slightly lower price.

But Chu Mo didn't care. When he was about to enter the Giant Forest, he was stopped by a short old man with a tuft of mustache.

"My friend, is this your first time in the Giant Forest?"

Chu Mo looked at the old man with shifty eyes in front of him and said coldly, "Yeah, what's wrong? Does the Giant Spirit Forest have a rule that doesn't allow a person to enter?"

The old man looked at Chu Mo's defensive face and said with a smile: "I can see that you have never been here before. You must be a member of your family who is out for training. Look at these herbal farmers and hunters. They have already plundered the outer edge of the forest. You will get nothing if you go in like this, right?"

Chu Mo was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Oh, what does that have to do with you calling me?"

The old man showed a pair of rat teeth and said, "My name is Mouse Ear, nicknamed Nosy. I want to make friends with you. I can be said to have the most up-to-date information in the entire Giant Forest. If you have any questions, you can ask me. However, I will charge you some hard work fees based on the information you get."

Chu Mo was immediately interested when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask, "Oh, Mouse Ear, then I want to know what spiritual objects are related to bamboo in the Giant Forest?"

Hearing this, Mouse Ear stroked his chin and said, "I know a few things, such as Xiangfei Bamboo, Feiyu Bamboo, Zidian Bamboo, Cuiyu Bamboo, etc. What kind of spiritual creature do you want to know?"

Chu Mo listened to Mouse Ear like he knew everything about his family. When he heard the word "emerald bamboo", his eyes lit up.

This kind of bamboo needs to absorb enough spring rain before it will sprout. It mostly grows in deep mountains with abundant spirituality and pure water sources. When mature, it is emerald green and translucent, and because it is as moist as warm jade, it is very popular among literati.

What Chu Mo was interested in was that this kind of bamboo was very suitable for making leather puppets and was the best choice of spiritual material for making leather puppets.

So Chu Mo said, "Let's talk about the news about Jade Bamboo first. How much silver is this news worth?"

The mouse ears and small eyes exuded shrewdness. He leaned closer to Chu Mo, took out a note and whispered, "My friend, you have a good eye. I can tell at a glance that you are from an extraordinary family. Twenty taels of silver for this information."

Chu Mo looked at the mouse ears and said seriously, "Too much, twelve taels."

Shuer's face changed, and he looked at Chu Mo anxiously and said, "My friend, you are too smart. OK, let's just treat it as making friends since this is the first time we meet. Twelve taels is the deal."

The transaction was successful, and Chu Mo, contentedly, took the note and entered the Giant Forest.

After arriving at a remote place, Chu Mo checked the information on the note, then crushed it into pieces and scattered it in the wind, and at the same time summoned Yang Jiye out.

Yang Jiye stood beside Chu Mo and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to my lord. I wonder what we should do next?"

Chu Mo smiled and said, "It just so happens that the Jade Bamboo is in our direction. Let's go get it first. It will be hard for you if you encounter monsters along the way."

Yang Jiye held the sword tightly and said, "My lord, don't worry."

Along the way, just as Shu'er said, the outskirts had already been completely plundered. Not to mention spiritual creatures, even monsters were not encountered.

Just as the two were searching in the forest, something big happened in the imperial capital.

Early this morning, the eldest prince summoned the third prince and the seventh prince to his bedroom. They are brothers from the same mother, and they are also staunch supporters of the eldest prince.

It turned out that their mother, Queen Li, would have her birthday in half a month, and the two royal brothers were summoned this time to discuss the gifts to be given on her birthday.

So, the Seventh Prince's adviser suggested that there was a magical creature called the Birthday Fruit deep in the Emperor's hunting ground.

This fruit takes ten years to mature. The fruit is crystal clear and the core can be seen at a glance. The extremely magical thing is that the core of this fruit is like a longevity bean, which not only has a beautiful meaning, but also has the effect of increasing longevity.

Eating one fruit can add three years to your life.

So the eldest prince took the two princes and his men to ask Tang Tiansheng for instructions, and then went straight to the hunting ground.

However, he did not expect that when the Seventh Prince returned after successfully obtaining the birthday fruit, he suddenly fell into a coma for some unknown reason and fell off his horse.

Suddenly, all the people who were traveling with them panicked. Fortunately, the eldest prince picked up the seventh prince and ran straight to the palace.

After learning the whole story, Queen Li couldn't help but shed tears quietly as she looked at her son lying on the bed with a pale face and weak breathing.

Tang Tiansheng summoned all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to go to the seventh prince's bedroom to treat the prince.

But the strange thing is that after all the doctors tried their best, they couldn't find any cause of the disease.

Tang Tiansheng sat on the imperial chair, and a white-haired old man below him spoke carefully: "Your Majesty, my Imperial Hospital has examined the Seventh Prince's entire body. Although his body functions are weak, there is nothing abnormal. It is extremely strange. I have never seen such symptoms. I, an old minister, can do nothing."

Tang Tiansheng's face darkened when he heard this. He threw a memorial fiercely and shouted angrily, "I can't do anything. I still say I can't do anything. I allocate so much money to the Imperial Hospital every year. What do you do for a living? Ah!"

Sun Gongyou said respectfully: "Your Majesty, my doctors diagnose symptoms based on changes in the human body and prescribe the right medicine for the right condition. Now the Seventh Prince is in very good health. I believe that this is not a symptom, but an abnormal condition."

Hearing this, Tang Tiansheng said, "Oh, tell me about the extraordinary way you mentioned."

Sun Gongyou slowly said, "Your Majesty, doctors pay attention to plants, bamboos, and stones. Everything in the world can be used as medicine. The way to keep healthy and replenish the body can be the same. There are many kinds of monsters in the world, which are unknown to people. The poison of some monsters can be the same. In the southern barbarian land of witchcraft, there are many witches who have passed down their skills and their methods are strange. It can also be the same."

Tang Tiansheng listened carefully but did not speak, as if he was thinking about something.
