Postscript The Empress VIII

"What?" Akiba frowned slightly, then immediately stood up and walked out.

The generals also followed her out.

The messenger led her to the nearest barracks, and sure enough, she saw many people lying on the ground in the distance, in addition to the bursts of moaning that made people panic, there were also a lot of vomit on the ground emitting bursts of foul smell.

As soon as she saw this, she asked, "How many people are in this situation, and what's going on?" ”

On the one hand, Zhou Yu had already heard everyone's report and immediately came up and whispered beside her: "My lord, the number of people who are sick at present has not been counted, but there are about tens of thousands of people, the most important thing is the horses, almost two-thirds of them have problems, and they can't ride, the military doctor only said that they were poisoned, but they haven't found out where the problem is, but so many people and horses can be recruited is nothing more than a problem with water and food, and someone has already been investigated." ”

Although most people nowadays call Akiba Bai the princess, their cronies still habitually call her an adult

Seeing that Zhou Yu was so organized, Qiu Yebai's eyebrows relaxed a little, and his heart quickly turned a few times, and said: "It is unlikely that this matter will poison the people inside us, first use the grain and grass we brought and the water source in reserve, and seal all the food and water that has been moved first." ”

If they had come out of the inner ghosts themselves, it would be impossible for them to attack accurately at the same time, and if there were so many internal ghosts, it would be impossible for them to act without alarming anyone.

Her initial judgment was that there was a problem after arriving here.

Zhou Yu, the rat and the others all bowed their heads, and the rat immediately took the order and was about to go.

Qiu Yebai remembered something, so he ordered the rat again: "Yes, you should be careful when using the water and food we have reserved, and try it before using it." ”

To be on the safe side, it's better to err on the side of caution.

The rat looked straight and nodded, "Yes." ”

Everyone was silent for a while, then they talked in a low voice, and regardless of the military doctor's obstruction, they followed Qiu Yebai and Zhou Yu to inspect the military camp with torches.

Looking at the mournful sound in the camp, Qiu Yebai frowned slightly, paused, looked at the gurgling water not far away, and said thoughtfully: "Zhou Yu, the people in our Chinese army's tent are fine, have you found out?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded with a slightly gloomy expression: "Yes." ”

She chuckled: "Heh, by chance, we are also lucky." ”

The main generals in the Chinese military tent were busy deploying the siege of Beijing, so they didn't care about eating, and she was impatient to eat again, so she only had a few people around her who simply steamed steamed buns and ate pickles and water in the original cowhide bag, but she didn't want to escape the catastrophe.

"What they originally wanted was the lives of you and me, but they didn't want our princess, but they weren't ordinary people, and they didn't even eat food." Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"It's not necessarily that I want the lives of you and me." A faint and cool voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone retreated in unison, only to see a white shadow coming faintly in the distance, followed by guards dressed in white clothes and white armor, who was not the leader of the Holy Army, the National Teacher.

Only this strange holy army will wear bright white clothes and white armor on the battlefield without fear of death, and it doesn't look like a fighting army, but like a pure and gorgeous honor guard.

But all of them knew that this holy army fought with terrible methods, and how hideous it was to look at the 'holy' armor stained with the blood of the enemy, and turn from the 'holy army' into a bloody 'blood army'.

Autumn leaves Bai saw Baili Chuze coming, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "What is the high opinion of the national teacher?" ”

He naturally has his own affairs to deal with, and he is not always involved in decision-making, but she will specially talk to him about important matters, so she never delays anything.

But this time he was not in the Chinese army, and she knew that he would be fine, because this method was simply not worth mentioning to him.

"Poisonous things are not easy to refine, and seeing that the things that seal the throat with blood are very expensive, they may not be able to make so many poisons." Baili Chuze said lightly.

"So what do you mean ......." Autumn leaves raised their eyebrows slightly.

That's right, under the current state of technology, it is not easy to refine such a large amount of poison.

Baili Chuze didn't answer her, just turned around, leaned over, reached out and picked up the chin of an unconscious soldier, opened his eyelids and lips and looked at it, and said lightly: "This is curare, weakened curare, and the other party didn't use enough dose just because it wasn't enough." ”

Curare?

When she heard this, she was stunned for an instant, she naturally knew this thing, this was Miao Jiang's poison!

As long as there is a little bit of large prey in the jungle, it will kill instantly, but for some reason it appears here.

Her gaze subconsciously swept over the silent white shadow beside Baili Chuze, but she saw that although Shuangbai's expression had not changed, her eyes had also changed.

She pondered for a moment, then looked at Baili Chuze, and said gently, "Is there any way to crack it?" ”

She naturally knew the power of the arrow poison, but now that it has been diluted many times, the power has weakened a lot.

"Let people prepare some cow's milk or goat's milk to drink first, some medicinal materials are also unavailable for a while, I will leave a recipe, you can try it first." He said lightly.

There was no need for Qiu Yebai to order, Ning Qiu immediately sent someone to do it.

Autumn Leaf's white gaze then swept over the meadow and river not far away, and sneered: "We were negligent, it seems that someone made a move on this grass or water in advance." ”

"Do you have any doubts in your heart?" Baili Chuze walked to the river with her and asked lightly again.

Seeing this, the people around them tacitly took two steps back.

Autumn Leaf Bai snorted lightly: "Looking at the poisoning method, nine times out of ten it is the handiwork of the Hehe people." ”

"But the poison they used in Miao Jiang, I remember that there was also a staff member who was born in Longwei in Southern Xinjiang in the early years by the side of the ninth brother, Li Mu also said that this person was proficient in poison, but when Xiao Jiu was sent away, he was missing." Baili Chuze Road.

She raised her eyebrows slightly: "Didn't the little prince let Emperor Shun send him away a long time ago, if they do these things, they will only cheapen the Hehe people, I don't see any need." ”

Emperor Shun cut himself, and also ordered Zheng Jun and Chen Heyu to kill the queen and several favored mothers, and also sent the little prince, that is, the Nine Emperor Princes, out of the capital early.

"It's also for personal grudges, and it's unknown." Baili Chuze sneered lightly, reached out and shook her hand, and played slowly: "You also know how many villages I emptied in Miaojiang in my early years. ”

He emptied Miao Jiang's stockade for her sake.

Autumn leaves sighed thoughtfully, looking at the condensed ice and snow, she slowly saw that something was wrong, she frowned slightly: "There is something wrong with that snow." ”

"What's wrong?" Baili Chuze also followed her gaze, but only saw a piece of snow by the river, but he didn't see any problems.

"Ah Chu, look at this grassland, due to the topography, there is not much snowfall, and there are even a lot of dark green old grass, but have you found that the snow along the river is the most condensed, don't you think it's strange?" As she spoke, she took the lead towards the river.

Baili Chuze and everyone also noticed it, and followed her to the river, and walked along the river all the way, and found that the snow by the river was the most.

She groaned slightly, suddenly took off the saber on her body and picked at a relatively thick snowdrift, and then her eyes lit up, so she squatted down and provoked at the snowdrift, and sure enough, she saw some black spots in the snow.

"There is something wrong with this snow, and it stands to reason that the more snow you are, the cleaner it should be, but why does it look a little dirty in this snow?" Lao Chang said immediately.

Baili Chuze directly touched a handful of snow with his hand, sent it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then chuckled: "Because this snow is poisoned by people and then sent to the river, as the water slowly melts, the poison seeps into the water, which is why our people and horses have such a large-scale poisoning, but the speed of melting of this snow water is beyond the imagination of some people, otherwise we will poison more people." ”

He paused, then reached out and touched the dark green grass, and then his cold gaze became even more penetrating: "Even these grass that is still green has been sprayed with poisonous water in a large area. ”

Everyone subconsciously took a step back and looked down at the grass under their feet, because it was because the horses were more poisoned than the people, so they were lucky.

But who would use such vicious methods!

"Moreover, what is their purpose, it is clear that these poisons will not take the lives of all of us, could it be that they just want to hold us back, or are there some other arrangements?" Zhou Yu also followed with a deep groan, his eyes were a little gloomy.

He was born as a celebrant and a prisoner, so everyone was a little afraid of him, but also believed in his inference.

Hearing this, Qiu Yebai looked at the endless grassland thoughtfully, thoughtfully, and after a while, he looked at Nameless: "Get these poisonous snow ideas back to the military doctor, see if there is a useful place, and also, I want to see Lord Chang." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lao Chang's expression was a little strange.

Is this going to enable that old fool?

Akiba Bai glanced at him, she always saw her eyes calm, but her heart was a little worried, but she let go, no matter what the adults decided, he just listened.

Then she turned her head to look at Baili Chuze, and said, "Ah Chu, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Baili Chuze looked at her, his silver eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled: "Well, I just got some news, and I happened to discuss it with you in private." ”

The husband and wife walked all the way to the tent, and from a distance it looked like they were in love.

It wasn't long before everyone saw the national teacher calmly leaving the tent, and the princess of Wenjia was a little crimson, but her complexion was very upright and neatly dressed.

When it was daybreak, several small groups of men and horses left, only to get a clean water source.

And so it went on again.

The night was quiet and mild

The company camp on the dam was faintly shining with a small fire.

After tossing all day, taking care of the poisoned colleagues and the poisoned horses, everyone in Wen Jiajun was exhausted.

A young lieutenant came out of a tent with some weariness, looked at the sky, rubbed his brows, and walked out with a bucket of water.

Because there were too many poisoned colleagues, and many people were assigned to take care of the horses, and people were assigned to prepare food and the defense of the battalion, so now he had to pour out some filth himself.

When the sentry at the gate saw someone coming, he shouted, "Who is it, where are you going?" ”

The young lieutenant said tiredly: "Shenji battalion, my fellow battalion vomited again, and went to dump the filth in the camp tent." ”

Although he was a captain, his comrades in the battalion were sick, and now he had to help.

The sentry knew that the military doctors had ordered that the poisoned, vomited or filth that had been pulled out must be poured into the river, which had already been polluted anyway, and that the water should be washed away and not left near the camp to avoid causing illness.

So they made it easy for the young lieutenant to check the number plate, gave him a number plate to leave the camp, and let him go, and commanded: "It is late at night, do not go far, and be careful when you meet the wolf." ”

It was not cold outside on this meadow, so occasionally some roe deer and voles were infested, and some wolves were heard howling earlier.

The lieutenant nodded, smiled tiredly and quipped, "If there is, we will fight wolves to eat." ”

So saying, he took the filthy thing with him and went to the river not far away.

He slowly carried the filthy thing to the river, and saw that he was slowly out of the sentry's sight, the tired look on his face was swept away, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then he suddenly squatted down, took out a slender bone whistle from his waist, looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he immediately blew in a low voice.

"Woo woo~."

A low wolf howl sounded instantly, but the wolf howl from the bone whistle seemed to sound in the distance, not in the near distance.

After a moment of the wolf's howl, he noticed that the sentry near the camp seemed to notice the wolf's howl, and the fire in his hand shook as if it was about to come out to him, and he immediately collected the bone whistle.

But after a while, the sentry saw that there was no movement and put away the torch again.

The lieutenant was standing up, but suddenly he heard a cold cry from behind him: "Someone is standing there, turn around!" ”

The lieutenant's heart was cold, but then he slowly turned around and said, "From the Shenji Battalion, I'm just here to pour out filth." ”

He took out the words he had spoken to the captain at the gate of the camp, and at the same time saw the person who was comingβ€”it was a small group of patrolling soldiers.

The leader was also a lieutenant, and when he saw him turn around, he vigilantly exchanged the number plate with him, and was not afraid of the unpleasant smell of the filth he raised, and made sure that there was no problem before he said coldly: "After the sun sets, you must not go out of the camp tent if you have nothing to do, and you will go back quickly after you have dealt with it." ”

The inspected lieutenant nodded with a smile, poured the filth into the river, cleaned the bucket quite quickly, and walked back.

When he returned to the gate of the camp, the soldiers at the gate of the camp saw this and quipped: "Why did you go for so long, could it be that you really beat the wolf?" ”

The lieutenant handed over the number plate in his hand: "Yes, did you hear the wolf howl?" ”

The soldier guarding the door took the number plate and laughed contemptuously: "No matter what kind of wolf he is, if he encounters our Wen Jiajun, he will kill them." ”

The wolf was originally the symbol of the Hehe people.

The lieutenant smiled slightly: "Really? ”

The soldier suddenly felt a chill in his lower abdomen, and his eyes widened and he looked down at his lower abdomen, where there was a knife hilt, and the sharp blade had long since sunk into his abdomen.

He trembled and touched his lower abdomen, his throat made a gurgling panting sound, and he was about to scream, but the captain covered his mouth and pulled him to his body, with a worried look: "What's wrong with you?" ”

The other soldiers guarding around him didn't see the captain make a move, but only saw the soldier fall on top of him with spasms, so they all surrounded him one after another, and said worriedly: "What's the matter, won't it be sick again?" ”

Because of the dosage of the poison that each person takes, some people take too much, have poor resistance, and the onset is fast, and some people take less and the onset is slow.

The captain waited for everyone to come around, a gloomy and fierce light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he violently pushed the soldier who had been stabbed at them, and a cloud of silver light instantly burst out in his hand, and at the same time sneered: "If you are so worried about him, you will go to hell with him." ”

Where did those soldiers think that their own people would suddenly burst out and hurt others, it was not bad for a while, and many of them were recruited.

In an instant, there was a scream in the camp: "Ahhβ€”β€”!hh ”

"There are enemies!"

"Enemy attack!"

The fierce screams rang out, and the big camp mouth was in chaos.

Although he experienced a large number of soldiers being poisoned, and he was busy and tired for a day, the well-trained Wen Jiajun still reacted at the first time.

"Take down the Assassin!"

"Take down the enemy!"

The lieutenant was extremely calm, and when he saw so many people surrounding him, he was not afraid, he sneered, and suddenly raised his head and let out a wolf howlβ€”β€”! ”

The soldiers were all stunned, and then the vigilant one immediately shouted: "It's not good, take him down, he is sending a message to the enemy!" ”

It was only before he finished speaking that the soldiers suddenly heard a dull sound in the earth, like a storm rolling in, like an earthquake.

Everyone was stunned, at this time, suddenly heard a horn sound not far away, the horn sound was dull but abnormal words, everyone finally reacted, all of them were shocked: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

Blowing the horn of the battalion, the horn of the battalion suddenly sounded one after another, and many people rushed out of the tent.

But as soon as they came out, they looked at the torches rolling in the darkness in the distance, and their faces changed dramatically.

The firelight in the darkness in the distance was dotted, like the eyes of countless wolves, rushing towards them, those dull sounds were the sound of horses' hooves, such a huge cavalry, and with the momentum of the rushing formation, at a glance, there were enemies in all directions, and most of their horses could not get up at the moment, with infantry against the crushing of the cavalry, on the grassland is simply waiting for death!

"Hehe people!"
