Chapter 453: Return!
Things seemed to be simpler all of a sudden, and the general, known as General Yun, soon found a white porcelain vase on the body of the dead Hu Tie, which was confirmed by the informant to be the antidote to the poison in Mo Li.
The informant was one of the small group of people who attacked Moli, and although the arrow was not fired by him at that time, the poison on the arrow was indeed clear, and the antidote had been placed on him all along.
It's just that because Princess Xi was captured, Liu Sanyang sent someone to send a letter to exchange the antidote, and Hu Tie directly asked for it, and warned the few people who knew about it and knew that there was an antidote were not allowed to say much.
Now that Hu Tie is dead, there is naturally no need for this person to keep it secret for anyone, after all, if Liang Xi really has three longs and two shorts, they will become the worst one, and he naturally doesn't want to.
General Yun is quite decisive, of course, he also has the necessary caution, after getting the antidote, he first confirmed it, and then told Liu Sanyang on the city wall that he had found the antidote, and was willing to use this antidote to exchange for Princess Xi, but they had to discuss in advance how to release the person and when to release the person, otherwise if the antidote was given and the other party did not release the person, then wouldn't they lose more than they gained?
"Hand over the antidote with one hand and hand over the other hand, Liu Sanyang, do you think this is good?" Compared with Hu Tie, General Yun seems to be more calm, and there is no coping and contempt at all in his attitude.
Liu Sanyang shook his head immediately, and said with a serious look: "Then what's the matter, if your medicine is fake, I'll let it go." The rest can only wait for you to take revenge and be beaten! ”
No one is stupid, so there is no fairness in this kind of thing, it depends on who cares more about the thing or person than whom.
"There is less than half an hour left. Do you love to give this antidote, in short, it's still the same sentence, the time has come and the antidote is not sent, Lao Tzu will directly clean up your princess, haha! Liu Sanyang's excitement rose again, as if he wished that the people of Nanliang would not send the antidote.
As a result, General Yun naturally frowned even tighter. Counting the hour, he personally discussed with Liu Sanyang again, hoping to get a change that was more beneficial to them.
"Princess, if this Liu Sanyang doesn't go to be a bandit, maybe it will be a good one." Not far from the castle tower, there is a less conspicuous place. Dong Ling smiled and said to Han Jiangxue beside him: "My subordinates were still a little worried before, but I didn't expect him to go more and more smoothly, this will be just like the real thing." ”
"After the prince detoxification, if he really has any consciousness, there will be a trade-off. And made some appearances. At that time, he will show him the way, and let the Fourth Route Rebels receive his men and horses first, so as to see the after-effects. ”
Han Jiangxue is obviously quite satisfied with Liu Sanyang's performance, this person is also a bit talented, if he can change his mind and rectify military discipline, it is not impossible to accept.
Dongling understood what Han Jiangxue meant, and quickly nodded in response. The Four Paths Righteous Army now except for their own people who know about it, outsiders don't know that the Four Ways Righteous Army, which has grown several times stronger, has long been part of the Mo Family's Army.
Put Liu Sanyang's men and horses in one of them first, and observe the rebels all the way. gave them a clear and suitable path, which can be regarded as a reward for Liu Sanyang's assistance to Mowangfu to obtain the antidote.
Up and down the city wall, after all, there was not much time to give them a chance to discuss and negotiate, and Liu Sanyang completely took the initiative and advantage, causing General Yun of Nanliang to have to make a compromise and agree to send the antidote first now, and then talk about the release of the hostages.
As soon as the antidote arrived, Liu Sanyang immediately sent it to Han Jiangxue, and after Lunnu determined that this medicine was indeed an antidote to the huge poison on Moli's body, so he did not delay for half a moment.
At the same time, at the suggestion of Han Jiangxue, Liu Sanyang had already removed Liang Xi from the previous five-flower tie first, and also found a maid to serve, so he naturally did not treat him as a prisoner on the surface.
However, in the following discussion about the specific release time, Liu Sanyang was also unreasonable as always, and he didn't look at ease at all.
Xiaoyun Town will have to take a day and a night from this round trip at the earliest, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, of course Han Jiangxue will not let Liang Xi go now, not to mention that the soldiers and horses of the Dongming Imperial Court and the soldiers and horses of the Southern Liang Dynasty outside are four or five thousand, in case they really have no scruples and recklessly retaliate and rush through Xingyang City, it will not be good for them to go to Nankun smoothly.
Therefore, under Han Jiangxue's signal, Liu Sanyang naturally proposed that he would be able to release people after two days, and all the soldiers and horses waiting outside the city, regardless of whether he was from Nanliang or Dongming, had to retreat to him fifty miles away, otherwise it would be really difficult to say when he would release people, and whether he could release people would be even more of a problem.
Liu Sanyang's request naturally made the people under the city gate angry, not only did they have to wait for another two days before they were willing to release them, but also let them all retreat fifty miles away when they saw that it was going to be dark, so it was really sad to be threatened and bullied.
And the most worrying thing is that if they really do what they are asked to do, people like Liu Sanyang will have credibility at all, and they will really be able to release Liang Xi without any damage?
But if they didn't do what they were asked to do, Liu Sanyang would have already made it clear, no wonder he was ruthless and could do anything.
General Yun has long known that people like Liu Sanyang are not a good thing, but Princess Xi's life is indisputably in the hands of this person, so even if they are led by the nose by this surnamed Liu again and again, they are helpless to threaten again and again.
When he was resentful and didn't know what to do better, Liang Xi, who had been on the city tower with a gloomy face, spoke to many people in the city.
"General Yun, return to the general, you each take your men and horses to do what he said, and the surnamed Liu doesn't dare to do anything to this princess. If he dares to play tricks again two days later, then you will directly lead people to break through this Xingyang City, and even if they die together, you will avenge the blood hatred of this princess! ”
Liang Xi almost gritted her teeth and said, of course she couldn't be willing to do this, but when things got to this point, she had no other choice but to choose to believe in Han Jiangxue once.
Before going up to the city tower before, Han Jiangxue had clearly told her that as long as she was willing to cooperate, she would definitely be sent out of Xingyang City safely, and she would definitely not break her promise to send her away safely. But if she refuses to cooperate, then no matter what, there is only a dead end, even if Xingyang will break the city immediately, someone will toss her to death at the moment before the city breaks.
Liang Xi is afraid of death, and even more afraid of Han Jiangxue's tossing and humiliation that she explicitly said but implicitly mentioned, although she is willful and conceited, she can also distinguish the situation, at this moment she is weaker than others, and her life is to be held in the hands of others and let her handle it, she has no right to choose, so she has to bear the bitter fruit for her previous conceit.
With Liang Xi's order, whether the people of Southern Liang or the Eastern Ming Dynasty, they had to do what Liu Sanyang asked. Except for the team of less than thirty people left to continue to guard Xingyang City, ready to observe at any time and wait for Liang Xi to be the first to arrive in two days, the rest of the people all set off overnight and retreated fifty miles away.
The enemy outside the city gate retreated, and Liang Xi on the city tower had also been sent to a clean and comfortable house for placement, in addition to the maid named Servant who was really watching, heavy guards were also arranged, to prevent the Southern Liang or the Eastern Ming Imperial Court from sending people to sneak into Xingyang City and secretly rescue people in advance.
After Han Jiangxue determined many other matters, she made a new arrangement for the nine hundred Mo family troops who were originally left in Xingyang City to defend together, and five hundred people followed her to Xiaoyun Town overnight to meet Mo Li and others, and the other four hundred people delayed their departure for half a day, and kept in touch with the people in front of them at any time at the end of the hall.
As for Liu Sanyang's people, Dong Ling also followed Han Jiangxue's previous instructions and told Liu Sanyang the general meaning alone, although the subordination between the Four Paths Righteous Army and the Mo Family Army was hidden, as long as they were not too stupid, they could naturally think about it.
As for how Liu Sanyang's men would prepare for the next two days after the Mo family army left, Han Jiangxue did not interfere too much, but let Liu Sanyang think about it himself. In her opinion, this can be regarded as a test, at least no matter what, if you want to join the Mo family army, in addition to meeting those two universal requirements, you must have some real skills.
Taking advantage of the full moon at night, Han Jiangxue took five hundred Mo family troops without any further delay, and directly embarked on the journey to Xiaoyun Town overnight. The group marched until the second half of the night, and then found a suitable place to rest for the night, and did not continue on the road.
The next morning, after using some simple dry food, they set out again.
Along the way, Han Jiangxue was quite excited at the moment, counting the time, Lun Nu was in a hurry all night, and he should have arrived in Xiaoyun Town at this moment, which means that if it goes well, Moli's poison should have been cured. Mo Li is fine, she is naturally happy, but this will not be able to really let go of her heart completely, and she will not be able to really feel at ease until she sees someone.
In the last section of the road, Han Jiangxue simply did not follow hundreds of people, but rode horses with Kunnu, Dongling and a small pedestrian to speed up.
Even so, by the time they arrived in Xiaoyun Town, it was already afternoon.
Although she was tired, when Han Jiangxue stepped into Xiaoyun Town, she saw Mo Li's slender figure under the big tree in front of the town, looking at her from a distance like an ink painting, waiting for her arrival! (To be continued......)
