It began to rain, and the fine rain fell on the neck, and it was bitterly cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Where the hell did Mu Yan go!?"
Xia Yejin turned his head and looked at Xiao Lin, who was panting from behind, with a face full of water.
"She said goodbye to the prince", Xiao Lin paused with an uncertain expression, and when he saw Xia Yejin's face becoming even more gloomy than the sky, he couldn't help but ask again, "Ye Jin, what happened, what's wrong with Ah Yan?" ”
The words were too long, so Xia Yejin decided to make a long story short.
"Mu Heng is not dead."
Like a thunderbolt exploding in his ears, Xiao Lin was surprised and almost didn't stand firm.
Then he shook his head with certainty, "This can't be. ”
Regarding Mu Heng's death, Ah Yan said it to him personally, she didn't need to joke about her brother's life and death, he still remembered the sorrow on Mu Yan's face that day, how could he fake it with such a desperate look?
There was movement in the king's tent not far away, and Zhu Di seemed to have walked out of the room.
"Do you believe me?"
Xia Yejin looked at Xiao Lin.
"Ye Jin, what are you talking about, we are good brothers, I naturally believe you-"
"If I believe it, I will quickly find Mu Yan and tell her that Mu Heng is not dead, and I know the truth."
"What truth do you know?"
Before Xiao Lin could answer, a cool voice came from the haystack next to him, and the two turned their heads to see a ...... wearing a big red jacket and a bright helmet Mu Yan?
"Ah Yan, why are you dressed like this? Didn't we leave for Beiping Mansion today? ”
Mu Yan ignored Xiao Lin's question, and walked towards Xia Yejin, "What did you mean by what you just said?" ”
The tone was cold, and every word seemed to freeze.
"Literally."
Xia Yejin raised her head and met her eyes.
The rain carried the wind and fell on the face, like countless small daggers slashing fiercely.
"Why should I trust you?"
Mu Yan was unrelenting, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes.
Through the rain and fog, Xia Yejin could even clearly see her somewhat pale lips and trembling shoulders.
-- See for yourself.
She took out a crumpled piece of Lianqi paper from her arms and handed it to Mu Yan.
Just now, at the moment when he bumped into the soldier, he was easily fished out of the man's arms. This is a handwritten letter from Zhu Di to Mu Heng, which is very short, but it is enough to explain the problem.
Yan Wang's handwriting was easy to recognize, and Mu Yan's face changed and changed.
Zhu Di's voice came from inside the king's tent, as if asking why the medicine hadn't been boiled yet.
Mu Yan's face changed suddenly.
Xia Yejin immediately understood.
"You poisoned the medicine?"
Mu Yan subconsciously took a step back.
Zhu Di's diet and daily life are all in charge of a special person, and he will also use a silver needle to test the poison before use, but Mu Yan is not poison in the medicine, but a few other herbs mixed in the original herbs for treating wind and cold. These two things are completely fine with separation, but when combined, they are highly poisonous.
To be on the safe side, she disguised herself as an ordinary soldier to guard outside, and as soon as the person delivering the medicine arrived, she would change into civilian clothes and go to say goodbye to Zhu Di, she wanted to enter the camp with the person who delivered the medicine, and she wanted to watch Zhu Di go to see the king of Yama with her own eyes.
Of course, she doesn't need to do it herself, she can even call for help with a nervous face when Zhu Di is critically ill, and ask people to ask a military doctor to come over. She had already planned to disarm and return to the field, and today she was just here to say goodbye, without the slightest motive to kill, and Xiao Lin could testify for her.
The medicine was caught by Xia Yejin and sent to the camp tent by her, as for who the murderer is and who has the motive, it is almost clear at a glance.
Her plan was flawless, but she didn't expect to be discovered by Xia Yejin halfway.
While the two were talking, the guard who was in charge of Zhu Di's living was walking over with a tray.
There was a freshly boiled medicinal soup on the tray, which was contained in a small bowl of bone china with a lid, and there was a small stove in the king's tent, but Zhu Di couldn't stand the strong smell of medicine, so he asked people to boil in the small tent next to him.
Xia Yejin frowned.
Pretending to accidentally knock over the medicinal soup will not work, Zhu Di is in the tent, and any disturbance outside will arouse his suspicions, and even if there is nothing at that time, it will be a toss; But what if it's something else? Is there any other way to do this?
The guards passed in front of them with trays in their hands, and they were about to walk to the tent.
"Wait a minute!"
Xia Yejin stopped him.
"Gong Xiao Military Doctor?" The guard turned around, and when he realized that Xia Yejin was calling him, his face was full of doubts.
"You made this medicine?"
"yes."
"How did you get through?"
Guard, "......?" ”
What is boiled and how is it boiled? Isn't it just the usual way to boil? How else can you survive?
"You're burning buckwheat stalks, aren't you?"
Seeing the other party nodding, Xia Yejin breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued, "This medicine contains herbs that are compatible with buckwheat stalks, and I am also to blame, I forgot to remind you that you can't burn buckwheat stalks when you boil this flavored medicine." ”
"So this medicine is ...... Poisonous? ”
The guards were frightened.
"Xiangke this thing, it can be big or small, take advantage of it now to quickly pour the medicinal soup, I will go to the medicine tent and grab another pair and send it over, remember, you can't burn buckwheat stalks anymore."
Xia Yejin looked serious and said seriously.
"But the prince ......"
The sound of urging came from inside the tent, and the guards' eyes flickered. It's no problem to pour out the medicinal soup, but now if you go and boil it again, the person inside will probably let him come to see him directly, right?
"I've said Xiang Ke, is it possible that you still want the prince to drink it?"
Xia Yejin accentuated her tone.
But the guards' worries are also a real problem.
So she reached out and pushed Xiao Lin and said, "Aren't you going to leave today?" It's time to say goodbye to the prince.
As long as there is something to divert Zhu Di's attention appropriately and let him not pay too much attention, he can make time for re-boiling medicine.
Although he still didn't know much about it, but after watching it for so long, Xiao Lin understood a little bit, and when he heard Xia Yejin say this to him, he glanced at Mu Yan who was standing next to him in a daze, and wanted to pull her into the king's tent to say goodbye to Zhu Di.
But Mu Yan didn't move.
Xia Yejin saw that her face was unprecedentedly pale, like a white cloth that had been bleached and dyed countless times, without a trace of blood.
At that moment, my heart sank.
"What else did you do?"
As soon as he had spoken, a brown horse suddenly rushed from the south, and when he got closer, he saw a young soldier sitting on it, and when he got near, he abandoned his horse and staggered towards the king's tent.
Blood snaked down the horse's back, creating a terrible streak of blood on the ground.
"Newspaper!! - The vanguard of the king of the county and the Chinese army led by General Zhang have been ambushed! ――”
-- The vanguard army first encountered firearms, and then collided with the main army led by Ping An, almost the entire army...... The king of the county, he only left this knife......"
