Liu Shi was shocked: "This ...... How does this work? ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "It's okay, I think Colonel Zuo shouldn't be able to find out......" After speaking, Ling Yan's face was heavy, "Grandpa, I have no other way, forcibly attack the city, I have tried many times, not only can I not capture the city, but our army has also suffered heavy losses."

Liu Shi frowned tightly, didn't say a word, and drank vigorously.

Seeing Liu Shi's hesitation, Ling Yan hurriedly promised: "Grandpa, as long as this matter helps me, after taking the city, I will definitely treat you and your son well." ”

Liu Shi raised his head and looked at Ling Yan, his tone revealing embarrassment: "General...... I can see that you are a good officer...... It's just that if it doesn't work out, then my son ......"

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "It will definitely succeed!" The left school won't find out! ”

Liu Shi frowned: "That...... If we hadn't poisoned them all, our whole family wouldn't have survived......"

Ling Yan said: "Grandpa, don't worry, this poison is not fatal, and ordinary people don't feel anything after eating it." ”

Liu Shi was a little hesitant: "That'...... What to do with poisoning? ”

Ling Yan naturally couldn't explain it so clearly, and even if he explained it clearly, Liu Shi might not be able to understand it, so he only explained it roughly: "Old man, this poison only has an effect on the soldiers of Colonel Zuo, and it will not poison them, it will only reduce their combat effectiveness." ”

Liu Shi probably didn't understand Ling Yan's words too much, but he didn't ask in detail, and after thinking for a long time, he hesitated and said: "General, my son is in charge, it seems to be General Zuo's soldiers' meals, but I don't know if General Zuo also eats the food made by my son." ”

Ling Yan hurriedly said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if Colonel Zuo eats it or not, the important thing is that his soldiers just eat it." ”

Liu Shi was stunned again, he naturally didn't understand the reason for this: "That...... General Zuo......"

"As long as the soldiers of Colonel Zuo have no combat effectiveness, it will be much easier to defeat Colonel Zuo," Ling Yan explained, "Although Colonel Zuo is powerful, I am not too worried, after all, he is just one person...... But his soldiers are so powerful that I can't beat them at all in my current soldiers. ”

Liu Shi hesitated and asked, "What the general said, but what those will ...... A yellow turban soldier with demon magic? ”

"Yes." Ling Yan nodded, "This poison is what made their demon magic disappear." ”

Liu Shi understood a little and nodded, but no longer spoke, but pondered.

Ling Yan was afraid that Liu Shi would not agree, but he didn't know what to persuade again, so he didn't speak, and looked at Liu Shi eagerly.

After a while, Liu Shi raised his head and looked at Ling Yan, his voice trembling a little: "That...... Can the general guarantee my son's life? ”

Ling Yan was very happy, and nodded again and again: "I promise!" You and your son will be fine! ”

Liu Shi drank several bowls of wine again, the flush on his face became more and more obvious, and his expression became more and more heavy.

In the end, after Liu Shi drank all the wine in the bowl, he said to Ling Yan in a trembling voice: "General...... I, a common man, just want to live a stable life, like this...... It's the first time ......"

Ling Yan didn't answer, waiting for Liu Shi to continue.

After a pause, Liu Shi continued to speak, his face still looking a little worried: "The old decay body is in the earth, even if it dies, it doesn't matter...... It's just that my son is still young......"

Ling Yan said solemnly: "Old man, don't worry, I will protect his safety no matter what!" ”

Liu Shi was silent for a while, and then sighed, as if he had finally made up his mind: "Okay...... The old man did as the general instructed......"

Ling Yan was very excited, and said again and again: "Thank you, old man!" Thank you! That's great! As long as you agree, it's almost a success! After speaking, Ling Yan was grateful again, "Grandpa, you have helped me a lot!" If he succeeds this time, not only will he be able to defeat Colonel Zuo and break through the city, but General Yu will also be saved! ”

Liu Shi was stunned: "Defeat General Zuo...... Will you be able to save the general? ”

"Yes! Yes! Ling Yan nodded desperately, "As long as Colonel Zuo is caught, he should be able to save General Yu!" ”

"Hmm......" Liu Shi nodded, and after being silent for a while, he said, "That...... When will the general ask me to go back to the city? ”

Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Without further ado. Old man, after the 'poison' is made, please go back to the city immediately, if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that General Yu's life may not be saved......" In the last sentence, Ling Yan did not deliberately threaten Liu Shi, he really thought so in his heart.

Liu Shi thought about it and nodded in agreement.

In the following time, Ling Yan ate and drank with Liu Shi while waiting for Zuo Ci to deliver the prepared poison. During this period, he continued to comfort Liu Shi, and told him the way to return to the city - let Liu Shi tell the soldiers defending the city that he was driven back, please open the door and let them enter the city.

Ling Yan also thought that he naturally couldn't send all the people in Qianzhai back, otherwise it might arouse Zuo Xiaoxiao's suspicion, and he planned to send back only a small number of people.

More than an hour later, Zuo Ci brought the "Poison of Blood".

Ling Yan introduced the two of them to each other, then took a small porcelain vase from Zuo Ci and handed it to Liu Shi.

Liu Shi took the porcelain vase in his hand and looked at it repeatedly: "This ...... Is that the poison? ”

Ling Yan nodded: "As long as you let your son put this in the rice, it's fine." ”

Zuo Ci also instructed Liu Shi: "Please keep it close to you, so as not to let the soldiers search it out." ”

Liu Shi still looked a little uneasy, but he still trembled slightly and put the small porcelain bottle into his arms.

Zuo Ci smiled: "Please rest assured, this medicine is tasteless, and after being put in water, it will disappear immediately." ”

Liu Shi nodded stunned.

Ling Yan told Liu Shi what to do after entering the city again, Liu Shi nodded and agreed, and then, Ling Yan sent Lu Gong to take Liu Shi away. Ling Yan secretly told Lu Gong to take Liu Shi back to Qianzhai first, and then pick a dozen random people to return to the city with Liu Shi, and let Lu Gong escort him to the middle and come back.

After Lu Gong left with Liu Shi, Ling Yan suddenly remembered the question he had just thought of, so he asked Zuo Ci: "National Teacher, when I was chatting with Liu Shi just now, I suddenly thought of a question. ”

Zuo Ci said: "General, please speak." ”

Ling Yan said: "Just now Liu Shi asked if this poison would poison Colonel Zuo and them, and I thought, why can't we use real poison to poison them, then...... Isn't it also a solution? ”

Zuo Ci thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, maybe Liu Shi and his son will be in danger." ”

Ling Yan didn't understand: "Why?" ”

Zuo Ci said: "Ordinary lethal poisons generally have some strange tastes or some colors, so it is a little difficult for Liu Shi's son to mix them into the meal. Even if it is put into the meal, if Colonel Zuo eats the food, with his cultivation, he may be able to detect a thing or two. ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Yes...... Anyway, I don't want to really poison him, if I can capture him alive, it's better to capture him alive. ”

Zuo Ci nodded and withdrew from the tent.

Perhaps, Ling Yan didn't realize what would become of the future development now. But judging from the actual development, at least it is not fatally poisoned, which can be regarded as a correct judgment.

More than two hours later, Duke Lu came back and told Ling Yan that everything was normal, and he had escorted Liu Shi and sixteen other people to a short distance outside Juye City, and left a few scouts to continue to follow up and investigate the situation.

After Ling Yan heard this, he felt a little relieved.

After some time, a scout came to report that he had seen the people enter the city.

Ling Yan was a little relieved again, he was afraid that Zuo Colonel would not let these people enter the city, but now that he learned that Liu Shi had entered the city safely, he felt that he was a big step closer to success.

While waiting for news from Juye City, Ling Yan had nothing else to do, on the one hand, he continued to send spies to investigate the situation, and on the other hand, he went to visit Zhang Min and Yu Yigen - Zhang Min's injuries were mostly healed, but Yu Yigen's situation was still not very optimistic.

According to the prior agreement, within two days after the day Liu Shi entered the city, if the plan was successful, Liu Shi or his son would find a way to notify Ling Yan. Originally, Ling Yan also wanted to send a clever soldier disguised as a civilian, follow them into the city, and then find a way to go out of the city to report the news after the results. But what Ling Yan was worried about was that no matter how clever a soldier was, he might show a little bit of his feet, and that Colonel Zuo was so shrewd that he was about to become a master, and it was very likely that he would find out that something was wrong. Besides, the sudden appearance of a stranger in the city is also easy to be noticed. Therefore, Ling Yan did not take this risk, but asked Liu Shi and them to find a way to send the news.

But two days have passed, but there is no news from Liu Shi, and there is no news from the people sent by Liu Shi, and the scouts sent have all reported that there is no movement in the city.

There was no movement - this meant nothing more than the leakage of the plan, Liu Shi was killed by Colonel Zuo; Even if the plan was successful, the soldiers of Colonel Zuo had lost the ability to breathe internally; Otherwise, Liu Shi temporarily changed his mind and betrayed Ling Yan.

Ling Yan thought that among the three situations, the last one that was the most unlikely to happen was the last one - in the previous conversation, Ling Yan saw that Liu Shi was definitely not the kind of person who did not believe in his word, and since he had promised himself, he would definitely not change his mind temporarily. Although Ling Yan also saw that Liu Shi was a little timid and afraid of death, Liu Shi was afraid of his son being killed, not himself. Since he had already received Ling Yan's assurance, Ling Yan would never believe that Liu Shi would put him along.

In the first case and the second case, Ling Yan can't guarantee which one happens, because from the superficial situation, both situations can happen - if everything goes well for Liu Shi and the Yellow Turban soldiers are poisoned, then unless it is a person with deep internal qi, it should be difficult to detect the changes in the body at ordinary times, and only when the internal qi is transported, will a large amount of internal qi be clearly consumed. Therefore, even if it succeeds, there will be no movement for the time being; If the plan fails and Liu Shi is killed, it is naturally not big news, and killing a common person is nothing more common in Colonel Zuo's opinion. It's just that if Colonel Zuo knows about this plan, then he will definitely find out, whether Liu Shi says it or not, Colonel Zuo should be able to guess a few points.
