Chapter 67 Poisoning
Before Lu Zhao could ask, Cao Tian told him the reason for the matter, and all this seemed to be providence.
Early this morning, they received a report from Chu Nanxun, according to what Chu Nanxun said, Lu Zhao and the others were very likely to be in deep danger, and it happened that the garrison of this Qingshan Pass might have had a problem, so they wanted to take this opportunity to come and check.
After arriving at the edge of the city, Cao Tianque took a group of people and horses to stay nearby, waiting for Chu Nanxun to find out the truth, but they didn't think that they heard the sound of fighting where they landed, Cao Tianque hurriedly led a few people to rush forward to check, only to see that there was a person shirtless in the snow who was dealing with a few people, and when he stepped forward, Cao Tianque recognized that the person was Chen Zhiming.
So they stepped forward to help restrain those people, and after inquiry, this person was Chen Zhiming, the general of Qingshan Pass, and now the person in Qingshan Pass is just an impostor.
Cao Tianque hurriedly took Chen Zhiming back to the foothold, he planned to raid overnight but was refused, Chen Zhiming said that there are several soldiers in their army who are extremely brave, and now that he has been missing for several months, the situation in the camp may have changed, it is better to send someone to investigate first.
At that time, Chu Nanxun, who was a scout, had already set off with a signal smoke, and Cao Tianque had to wait for his news, but he didn't expect to wait for Chu Nanxun's news until dawn, so they came to check, but they didn't want the situation to be controlled by a woman.
Seeing Luo Ling's back, Lu Zhao was a little puzzled, he hurriedly asked who this woman was, she had such courage, Cao Tianque said that it was the eldest daughter of General Luo Qi, who was also the twelfth general of the border pass, and had been practicing martial arts since childhood and Chen Zhiming's childhood sweetheart.
It is rumored that this Miss Luo has been smart since she was a child, and she is a martial arts wizard, but she gave birth to a daughter who cannot fight on the front line, but she can also assist Chen Zhiming behind her back.
Just as Lu Zhao was listening to it with relish, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamations from the crowd in front of him, and the two hurriedly stepped forward, only to find that Chen Zhiming had fallen to the ground and was dying.
"What's wrong with you, don't scare me!" Luo Ling was frightened by this sudden change, she grabbed Chen Zhiming's clothes and shook violently, Lu Zhao hurriedly leaned down and found that Chen Zhiming seemed to have been poisoned.
He turned his head to look at Cao Tianque behind him, who also had a solemn face.
Chen Zhiming's entourage general Zhao Yu was the first to react, he hurriedly called a few people to carry Chu Nanxun back, and sent someone to call Lang Zhong to come, and the scene that should have been jubilant suddenly became extremely tense.
Chen Zhiming was carried back to the barracks, but before Lang Zhong could come, he had already lost his breath.
Seeing that the person he loved was close to leaving, Luo Ling fainted directly, this seemingly flamboyant woman was so delicate at the moment, Lu Zhao stood beside Cao Tianque, he raised his head and found that the latter's face was unusually solemn.
"What's wrong?"
Cao Tianque was slightly stunned for a moment, then shook his head and told Lu Zhao that it was okay.
Soon Lang Zhong came to the camp and saw that Chen Zhiming had returned, and he was also full of sadness, but the unclear death of the garrison here was really a big deal, and after Chen Zhiming's subordinates discussed, they decided to investigate the cause of the general's death.
In the process of discussion, Cao Tianque's expression was unusually solemn, he clenched his fists and didn't say anything the whole time, his strange behavior made Lu Zhao feel a little strange, but he didn't ask, he just felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it.
Lu Zhao and the others returned to their residence, they were already a little tired, he unloaded the bow and arrows on his body and sat down on the table next to him, Yu Zhan sat opposite him and picked up a cup of tea just brought to his mouth, but Lu Zhao held down his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you think there's something strange about this?"
"How?" Yu Zhan gently pushed Lu Zhao's hand away and brought the teacup to his mouth.
"I think someone deliberately poisoned it."
As soon as Lu Zhao's words came out, Lu Zhao's hand subconsciously trembled, and the hot tea in the cup fell on his hand, although Yu Zhan was in pain, he still endured it and did not throw the teacup out.
His same behavior was seen by Lu Zhao, Yu Zhan calmed down and then said, "How do you know?" This kind of thing can't be said to be okay, right? What if she was suffering from a serious illness or had eaten something? ”
"That's not right." Lu Zhao shook his head: "Although you and I are not doctors, we have seen a lot of life and death along the way, and how can a person suddenly fall to the ground when he is still in high spirits, someone must have secretly poisoned him!" ”
"Forget it, you can think about it, I'm a little tired, go sleep first."
After that, Yu Zhan yawned and shrank into the quilt, Lu Zhao was also a little tired, they didn't sleep all night because of the accident last night, although it was dawn now, but his body was so tired that he hurriedly came to the bed and lay down.
This sleep was very unsteady, because of Chen Zhiming, the camp was full of busy footsteps, and I don't know how long I slept The door was suddenly kicked open, Lu Zhao only felt a murderous aura rushing towards him, he suddenly opened his eyes and raised his hand towards the murderous aura and smashed it, the other party seemed to have expected her to be like this, and dodged it.
Lu Zhao's consciousness woke up with this moment, and he looked up and saw Luo Ling in front of him quite puzzled.
"Miss Luo, we..."
Luo Ling didn't give Lu Zhao time to defend at all, she took out the knife on her waist and stabbed at Lu Zhao, Lu Zhao took a step back, but unexpectedly stepped on the cotton boots that Yu Zhan took off, and fell directly behind him with a soft foot.
Seeing the blade approaching, only a crisp sound was heard, and the short knife hit the wall not far away with a few circles in the air and slammed into the wall not far away, Lu Zhao turned around, and Yu Zhan was holding the knife in his backhand and staring at him, as if he was eating people.
"Say, Who sent you?" Luo Ling's momentum did not dissipate due to the loss of his blade, on the contrary, it was sharper, Lu Zhao didn't quite understand what this meant, only to see Luo Ling take out something from his arms and throw it in front of the two, Lu Zhao and the two looked at it, only to see that the thing turned out to be a black arrow.
The two looked at each other in confusion, seeing that they did not react, Luo Ling nodded and took out a package from behind him and threw it in front of the two, a small bag was thrown out for her roughly, and the contents were scattered all over the ground.
The package was the one Lu Zhao was carrying, but he didn't know what was going on with the arrow.
"Don't admit it yet, say, who sent you here, or does Cao Xianye's dog thief want his Chen Zhiming's life with iron heart?" Luo Ling's emotions were extremely excited, but Lu Zhao would definitely not carry this kind of thing on his body.
Although Lu Zhao is good at using bows and arrows, he does not carry arrows with him, as long as it is tough wood, it can be used as arrows, and this arrowhead is made of metal and is extremely heavy, he will not choose this way.
"Miss Luo, this may be a misunderstanding, someone is trying to frame us!"
