Chapter 58: Experimental Rats

Liu Wei originally planned to summon Yuan Shao and the others the day after tomorrow and enter the palace to discuss the ownership of Youzhou City, because the other two people will almost be in the city tomorrow.

But now the sudden occurrence of Yuan Shao's coma made Liu Wei have to postpone this plan.

Bringing Yuan Shao into the palace was also to better treat his injuries.

After his injuries heal, he can also discuss things immediately, and he will not waste time because he wants to enter the palace.

As for Zhao Yun, Liu Wei was just out of intolerance, he couldn't bear to die on a battlefield without knives and guns so well.

Although Zhang Rang has also killed many people before, those people are not the pillars of governing the country and the country for Liu Wei, and there are people who can replace them at any time.

So it took Liu Wei and his party half an hour to come to the gate of the palace.

If Liu Wei hadn't brought the imperial doctor this time, Xue Yun and Zhao Yun would really have died.

Because the palace is not a place where anyone can enter, Liu Wei only let Wen Chou in.

As for those under him, they were all rejected by Liu Wei.

Wen Chou knew that the emperor did this in order to protect himself from the lord's safety.

Because the palace seems to be the safest place in the world, and everyone yearns for it.

But only those inside know that this is a cage made of gold wire, and inside it is imprisoned the most noble true dragon in the world.

At the same time, there is a crisis here, which can be described as a crisis step by step, if Yuan Shao is only allowed to enter alone, Liu Wei is worried that Zhang Rang will take advantage of this opportunity and be unfavorable to him.

And in order to facilitate the guarding and protection, Liu Wei let the two of them live together.

In this way, it is also convenient to take care of Wen Chou, but around this room, it has long been strictly protected by the palace guards.

But Wen Chou didn't know that these guards were sent by the emperor to protect them.

It's still Zhang Rang's minions, just waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack on them.

Wen Chou also bought some eunuchs in the palace and asked them to catch a few mice.

Those eunuchs are all Zhang Rang's protégés, and Wen Chou naturally can't escape Zhang Rang's eyes if he does this.

It's just that he doesn't know what Wen Chou's purpose is in doing this? So he agreed to Wen Chou's request.

After Wen Chou got a few mice, he let everyone leave, and there was only Wen Chou in the room, as well as Xue Yun and Zhao Yun who were lying on the bed.

After that, every time the imperial doctor came in to change the dressing, or feed the decoction, Wen Chou would catch a mouse and let it take it first.

He was worried that someone would poison the medicine, and these rats were his experimental rats.

This was all what Xue Yun had taught them before.

He said that if he was worried that his food would be poisoned and he didn't have anything like a silver needle around, he would go to some dirty place and catch a mouse.

Let them eat these meals, and the effect is the same.

And the matter of Wen Chou's use of rats to test the medicine spread far and wide, reaching the ears of Liu Wei and Zhang Rang.

The two of them reacted differently to Wen Chou's approach.

Liu Wei was relieved, and he was happy that Yuan Shao had such an outstanding general.

Originally, he was worried that if he let the imperial doctor buy off and let the imperial doctor poison Yuan Shao's medicine, it would really be impossible to prevent it.

But Wen Chou suddenly came to such a hand, which made Zhang Rang's plan to poison the soup in vain.

On the other side, Zhang Rang gritted his teeth angrily, he had originally arranged for people to go to poison in the afternoon, but it turned out to be such a step too slow.

Thinking of this, he remembered that when Wen Chou asked for a mouse, he regretted how he agreed at that time.

And he didn't expect that Wen Chou would actually use a mouse to test poison, and directly use it as a silver needle.

If it weren't for these stinky rats, Yuan Shao and the others would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.

He didn't dare to do it now, because he was afraid that he would startle the snake and set himself on fire.

However, he had a plan in his mind, thinking that this plan was foolproof, so he asked people to hurry up and prepare.

After a day of treatment, Xue Yun's injuries were almost healed.

Wen Chou also asked the Imperial Doctor about the situation of the two of them, and the Imperial Doctor said that Yuan Gong's injuries were fine, and he should wake up tomorrow.

As for Zhao Yun, because his injuries were too serious, although his life was saved, he couldn't wake up for a while and a half, and someone needed to take care of him.

Wen Chou was also relieved after listening to the words of the imperial doctor, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell.

But Wen Chou can also think that he can know this news, and that Zhang Rang must also know, he is bent on letting the lord die, so he will not be so honest and wait for the lord to wake up.

Moreover, he always paid attention to the every move of the guards outside, and now he not only tested Xue Yun for their decoction, but also did not let go of the food he ate.

As the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, the more critical the moment, the more you can't be careless.

And Zhang Rang also learned that Yuan Shao would wake up tomorrow, and knew that tonight was his last chance.

If Yuan Shao and Zhao Yun can't be killed, it will be tantamount to adding two strong enemies to himself for no reason.

So the plan he said before will start tonight.

At dusk, it was time for the guards who were in charge of guarding Wen Chou and them to change the guard.

This was originally a common thing, but it caused Wen Chou to be cautious.

For he had learned from one of the guards that they were standing guard in three shifts a day, each for four hours.

And this is all arranged above, and it will not change without special circumstances.

And the guard at dusk is in charge of the guard who told Wen Chou this information.

It's just that among the guards who were replaced this time, he was not seen, and even the others, Wen Chou felt that he was angry.

Because he was worried that the guards would do something wrong, he kept watching the guards' actions.

After a day of observation, although Wen Chou didn't know their names, he remembered a rough idea of their appearance.

Of course, it does not refer to specific facial features, but to be tall, short, fat and thin, and whether there are special marks on the body.

It's just that this group of people came this time, and Wen Chou has never seen them.

And although the eyes of those people were generally staring outside, they looked in the direction of their house from time to time.

It's like confirming that the people inside haven't left and are still under their control.

Wen Chou was not allowed to bring weapons in because he entered the palace, and now he was an unarmed man, but he did not feel panicked because of this.

It would be too impractical for a general to become a powerless person because he had no weapons.

Wen Chou himself is confident in protecting the safety of his lord, so after dinner as usual, Wen Chou is also waiting, waiting for the moment when the gang outside will make a move.

He can't strike first, because if he does, Zhang Rang will say that he has no king's law, and he acts recklessly in the palace, and then punishes him for his crimes.

By that time, Xue Yun would really have no one to protect.

Therefore, Wen Chou can only wait passively, but cannot take the initiative to attack.

It was about time to go, Wen Chou had already gone to sleep after the lights were out, and the guards finally began to act.

When some of them entered the house, Wen Chou suddenly woke up.

smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you to make a move, I've been waiting for a long time." ”
