Chapter 348: Who Poisoned It
On the second day, it was sunny. www.biquge.info However, the snow does not melt into the snow cold, and the chill feels even more pressing. Fortunately, when the household department and the military department set out on the expedition, winter clothes and other things were allocated to protect against the cold, and the soldiers could still protect themselves from the cold. It's just that it's not a pleasant thing to be stationed in the field all the time.
There was news from the Jinghe Wharf that a merchant ship had capsized on the ghost side, blocking the river, and it was estimated that it would take some time for several other armies to arrive. Yan Ning asked people to rush to Jingnan Wharf along the official road of the Jing River, and let the reinforcements from Yizhou come directly from the official road along the Jing River.
The reinforcements in Chuzhou and Yizhou can take the waterway according to the original plan.
"Miss Yan, why don't you let the armies of Chuzhou and Yingzhou also take the official road?" In the account, some generals couldn't figure it out.
Yan Ning pointed to the map and said, "The official road along the Jing River is also muddy all the way, and now it is rain and snow, if the 300,000 troops go together, I am afraid that after the first tens of thousands of people have passed, the road will be worse, and the rest will not delay the effort?" There are 120,000 people in Yizhou, and they take the official road, and the 200,000 people in the rest of the state and Yingzhou take the waterway, which can save time. ”
The general had never been to the south, and when he heard Yan Ning say this, "It's still Miss Yan's thoughtfulness." ”
Chu Zhaoye was on the side and did not speak.
He understood in his heart that Yan Ning had arranged it like this, and what she had just said was one reason, and the other reason was that she was not worried about the 100,000 people in Yingzhou, so she left the 100,000 people in the state to contain it.
"Since they can't arrive immediately, it's useless for us to wait here, let's go to Jizhou first tomorrow." Yan Ning looked at Chu Zhaoye and said.
Of course, Chu Zhaoye agreed, and immediately ordered the army to prepare for tomorrow.
That day and night, outside Chu Zhaoye's tent, his guards were roasting a fire by the fire, and by the way, a clay pot was set up on the fire to boil hot water.
In the army, the firefighters only had to prepare meals, and if they wanted to drink some hot water and the like, they had to get their own food.
These guards are all on duty at night. Therefore, one of them took out a wine gourd and drank a few sips of wine to keep out the cold, and the crowd also passed on a few sips while reaching out to bake the fire.
Although it is also cold in the capital, the chill is still more pressing when you spend the night in the wilderness.
A few people were chatting, and Chu Liu, the guard beside Yan Ning and one of the four people left by Chu Mo, came over with a few people.
When Chu Zhaoye's guards saw Chu Liu, they all became vigilant and stopped talking. Along the way, although His Royal Highness was gentle and polite to Yan Ning and took good care of him, they still had to be careful when they saw Yan Ning's people.
Manager Li explained, don't look at Yan Ning as a girl, but she is also a ruthless master.
Chu Liu didn't seem to see a few people's faces change color, he approached the fire by himself, and also squatted down and stretched out his hand to bake the fire, while asking, "My girl heard that the third prince had an accident outside the tent last night?" Let me come over tonight and have a look. ”
"Thank you Miss Yan for your concern, we have strengthened our defense tonight." The guards are upset, this is to imply that these people are useless?
"There are a lot of people, so you have to be careful. My girl said that it would be bad if there were Beiyan spies who came in and killed people or something. When Chu Liu said the word killing, his voice was low, bringing out a chilling meaning.
Chu Zhaoye's guards were a little annoyed, dare to scare people?
Chu Liu didn't wait for them to speak, he had already stood up, "My girl has ordered, the Third Highness has a noble status, if there is anything to report, immediately report to the handsome tent." Thinking that His Royal Highness has already rested, since it is okay, I will not bother to meet him, and go back to his life first. ”
This man ran over, dropped two sentences without yin or yang, and left again. What's going on?
Several of Chu Zhaoye's guards couldn't figure out why Chu Liu came.
Chu Zhaoye was in the tent, and after listening to Chu Liu's words, his face sank. He whispered a few words to Li Gui, and when Li Gui came back, before he could speak, the guards outside shouted in surprise.
Li Gui opened the tent door, "What's wrong?" ”
"Mr. Li, someone has been poisoned." The chief of the guard replied.
As soon as Li Gui heard about the poisoning, he walked a few steps outside, and saw a guard lying bleeding next to the fire.
The medic was hurriedly dragged over, looked down, stood up and said, "This man is dead." ”
Li Gui heard that there was no help, so he asked the military doctor to send him back.
After a few guards discussed a few words, several people stood up with angry faces, and they all said, "It must be that kid who did the black hand just now!" ”
"It's too bullying!"
"Go to him and settle the score!"
Someone looked up and saw that there was a figure behind Li Gui.
The captain of the guard ran to the tent, "Your Highness, they actually poisoned and killed people!" ”
Chu Zhaoye slowly walked out of the tent and glanced at the people on the ground, "What's the matter?" ”
"That Chu Liu came here just now and roasted a fire by the fire, and he was the only outsider who approached the fire." The captain of the guard said what Chu Liu said again.
Chu Zhaoye didn't come out, the person stood at the tent door, the fire was dancing, and his face was a little gray, "There is no evidence, don't talk nonsense." When the man is buried, he will return to his house and give him some silver, and he will say that he died for the country. ”
"The most important thing at the moment is the battle at Yuyang Pass. We cannot compromise the overall situation for our own selfish gain. Chu Zhaoye saw that everyone was still not angry, and persuaded again.
"Your Highness, they poisoned us today, not necessarily to poison us, but definitely ...... It's for you. The chief of the guard couldn't help but say.
"Miss Yan is the marshal who led the army, and I am the supervising army. It's all for the country, and she won't harm me for no reason. ”
The guards were angry in their hearts, but Chu Zhaoye had already spoken, and no one dared to say anything more.
"Check again to see if anyone else has come closer?" Chu Zhaoye finally said a word and walked back to the camp.
The guards were a little angry and felt a little aggrieved when they saw their Highness endure humiliation for the country. When they were in the capital, who would dare to despise them, the guards of the Three Princes' Mansion? Now that someone dares to openly poison them?
Listening to Chu Zhaoye's last sentence, it was obvious that he didn't believe that Chu Liu was poisoned, and around His Royal Highness, in addition to these guards, they were the pro-soldiers sent by the army, so what was the problem?
Yan Ning was in the tent and soon heard about it. She heard that Chu Zhaoye's guards were poisoned to death after drinking hot water, and she was a little surprised, who else wanted Chu Zhaoye to die besides herself? Hearing Chu Zhaoye's explanation and investigation of who had approached him except Chu Liu, he couldn't help but ponder.
Chu Liu listened to the words of the visitor, and said anxiously, "Girl, the subordinates are not poisoned!" You ask your subordinates to go over and warn them...... "He was left by Chu Mo by Yan Ning's side, in case Yan Ning misunderstood that he didn't listen to her orders, wouldn't he be making trouble for his own prince?"
Yan Ning shook his head, "I know it's not you." ”
"Then who else would want to kill the Third Prince?"
"Go and call Li Jing over."
