Chapter 64: Crane Top Red
Although these captains are from the army, they are all old, and their eyesight and ears have declined to varying degrees compared with when they were young.
Jiang Feng and Diao Chan followed all the way, and they didn't even notice it in the slightest.
After walking like this for nearly half an hour, he came to a lake.
When he got here, Captain Touching Gold finally stopped, and then spread food and nets on the shore, as if he was about to catch birds.
Jiang Fengqi said: "Didn't you touch the golden captain, why didn't you rob the tomb, but caught the bird!" ”
Diao Chan was also at a loss, squatting in the grass with Jiang Feng, and said, "Let's take a look!" ”
After scattering food and laying out a large net, the captains also secretly hid behind the rocks.
After a quarter of an hour or so, I heard only a few "hiccups".
Looking up, I saw a group of cranes flying in the distance.
This group of cranes was smaller than what Jiang Feng had ever seen, and the speed seemed to be much faster; They are white all over, with bright red on the top of their heads, like a dazzling ruby embedded in a white gold crown.
Jiang Feng only felt that this group of cranes was extremely beautiful, but he couldn't name them.
In the zoo, I have never seen this kind of crane; Perhaps, it is already extinct.
Soon, the flock of cranes landed on the shore.
The jet-black slender legs, stepping on the sand, are like noble dance masters, light and chic.
Smelling the food, soon the cranes came to the big net.
As everyone knows, at this time, they have stepped into the forbidden area of death.
While they were having a good meal, all of a sudden, the net toppled down, enveloping all the cranes.
The cranes were so frightened that they screamed "Hiccup", the same cry, which was full of fairy spirit before, was now full of panic and a deep sense of helplessness.
Captain Touching Jin hurriedly rushed out and caught the crane.
Then they took out their sabers from their waists, and at the same time chopped off the crane's head and put it in their pockets.
Soon, only a flock of headless crane corpses remained on the shore, drenched in blood and miserable.
wrote a picture of nobility and cruelty at the same time.
……
After chopping the crane's head, Captain Jin left quickly.
After a while, Jiang Feng and Diao Chan came back to their senses.
Although both of them have experienced the experience of the battlefield and experienced life and death, there is always a feeling of discomfort when looking at the scene in front of them.
Especially the sable.
Without saying a word, she walked over, picked up the corpses of the cranes, piled them up, and buried them deep in the reeds.
Although she is an assassin and has a deep blood feud, Diao Chan is still a woman after all.
Seeing this kind of picture, it naturally reveals the gentleness and sentimentality that belongs to a woman.
Jiang Feng originally wanted to ask Diao Chan some questions about this kind of crane, but when he saw that she was lonely, he didn't speak, patted her lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Go back, Master." ”
Diao Chan let out a soft "um", still not in the mood to say too much.
……
Jiang Feng's mansion in Xiangyang is full of style.
The most important thing is that in the backyard where I live, there are only two people, myself and Diao Chan.
Here, you don't have to worry about being watched.
After eating and taking a bath, Diao Chan's brows finally stretched a little.
As usual, the two came to the courtyard, sat on the swing in the garden, and looked at the moonlight in a daze.
After a while, Diao Chan suddenly said: "Feng'er, why do you say Cao Pi wants to make Heding Red?" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Feng was puzzled, "What do you mean?" Master, how did you know that Cao Pi was going to make Heding Red? ”
Diao Chan said: "The kind of crane that Captain Jin caught before is called a little red, which is unique to Xiangyang. Only with a little red head of the crane crown can the most powerful crane top red be made. Cao Pi ordered Captain Jin to come to Xiangyang secretly, and did not rob the tomb, but cut off a little red crane head, naturally in order to extract the crane top and make poison! ”
Modern people generally believe that the crane top red is arsenic, the main component is arsenic trioxide, because its color is similar to the red of the red of the head of the red-crowned crane, so it is named "crane top red".
And the real "crane top" is actually non-toxic.
Jiang Feng also thought so before.
But, listening to Diao Chan's words now, it doesn't seem to be the case!
In ancient times, there may really be such a poison as Crane Peak Red, and it comes from Crane Peak!
Jiang Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe he wants to kill someone!" ”
Diao Chan said: "With his second son's identity and power, is there anyone who can't be killed directly, and he has to use poison?" ”
Jiang Feng didn't think too much about it.
But, when I heard this, I was shocked!
Who Cao Pi can't kill directly, and he has to use poison?
Could it be ......
Don't......
He's going to attack Cao Chong?
At this time, Cao Pi was out on the expedition, if at this time, he ordered someone to secretly make Heding Red and Hui Xu to kill Cao Chong, it can be said that there would be no trace left, and no one would suspect him!
Sure enough, what a plan!
Although when he left Xu Du, Jiang Feng instructed Mrs. Huan to be careful of someone harming Cao Chong; But at this moment, thinking that Cao Pi might have really made a move, and he was still using poison, Jiang Feng was uneasy for a while.
After calming down for a moment, Jiang Feng asked Diao Chan, "Master, is this crane top red very toxic?" ”
"Of course!" Diao Chan said, "The crane top red is colorless and tasteless, and it is soluble in water. Just lick a sip of the food infused with Heding Red, or drink a sip of the poisonous water fed with Heding Red, and it only takes a pillar of incense to poison and die! ”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't hold back any longer, got up and said, "Master, you rest first, I'll go out." ”
Seeing Jiang Feng's strange expression, Diao Chan was curious and concerned for a while.
However, she didn't think too much about it, and after swinging on the swing for a while, she went back to sleep.
……
Let's say that Jiang Feng left the mansion, took the red rabbit horse, walked out of the north city gate, and went straight to the direction of Fancheng, where Cao Pi was located.
Halfway through, though, he came back in a gloomy way.
Even if Cao Pi is found, what can he do?
Will he admit it?
Now that he is alone, maybe Cao Pi will even kill himself!
No, not a possibility, but a certainty!
However, his apprentice Cao Chong was in danger, and Jiang Feng naturally couldn't do nothing.
So, after returning to Xiangyang City, Jiang Feng called Wang Wei and ordered him to send someone to Xudu to pick up Cao Chong.
Picking up Cao rushed over, this is not a trivial matter.
Wang Wei hesitated, but still asked, "General, is this what the prime minister meant?" ”
Jiang Feng said: "Don't worry about it so much, I'll take care of it if something happens!" ”
Seeing Jiang Feng say this, Wang Wei stopped talking nonsense, and hurriedly set off with his henchmen.
……
Back at the mansion, Jiang Feng was still uneasy.
I don't know, Cao Pi has made crane top red now.
If it hasn't been made yet, his own people should go to Xu Capital first and bring Cao Chong safely.
However, if Heding Red has already been produced, or even Cao Pi's people have already set off, it will be difficult to do!
Originally, Fancheng was closer to Xudu than Xiangyang, as long as Cao Pi was allowed to take the lead, it can be said that Cao Chong would die for a lifetime!
Of course, all this is just speculation.
It's not certain now, Cao Pi is going to attack his younger brother.
