The morning sun in the sky is as red as blood, and the white bones are exposed to the wilderness.

The sun this morning was so red that I couldn't believe it was still the sun.

I followed Ge Shuhan to the barracks quickly, and examined the bodies of the soldiers who died last night, and the way these soldiers died was exactly the same as the soldiers who died in Weicheng.

Me: General, what do you think about this?

Ge Shuhan: Ge believes that the possibility of poisoning is very high. Although these soldiers have no signs of poisoning, the poison masters on the rivers and lakes can achieve this effect.

Me: Poisoning and dying, unlikely. Jiang checked all the things he ate and drank yesterday, and found no abnormalities, so there should be no possibility of poisoning. Besides, if someone really poisons food or water; So, it should be that everyone was poisoned together, why are most of the soldiers fine?

Geshuhan: I really can't explain this, but besides poisoning and plague, I really can't think of any other reasons?

Me: That's the biggest problem.

Just when we were all at a loss, I suddenly remembered one thing: my plan to lure the enemy failed, and there must be a spy in the court; Then, the death of these soldiers is very likely to be related to this spy.

Thinking of this, I think this logic must be correct; However, the question arises, who is the spy?

novel

I don't have the slightest evidence or clue in my hands right now, and I can't start an investigation!

Me: General, you first send someone to burn the corpses of these dead soldiers, and Jiang will go and report the matter to the emperor.

Geshuhan: Okay.

I ran back to the palace and came to the front of Tang Xuanzong's bedroom, and saw the accompanying ministers and Jin Dafa and his party, who were greeting Tang Xuanzong.

I also hurriedly asked Tang Xuanzong for peace, and then said: Your Majesty, hundreds of soldiers died inexplicably last night.

When Tang Xuanzong heard this, he was very taken aback and said: Did you find any clues?

Me: Returning to the emperor, the last general thought that the failure of the last plan to lure the enemy and the mysterious death of the soldier this time were enough to prove that there must be a bowl of porridge in the court.

After saying this, I paused deliberately and glanced up at everyone present.

I want to come up with a plan to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to see if anyone is a thief and shows his feet.

However, it was clear that this method did not work, and everyone present was calm, and not one of them showed the slightest nervousness.

Of course, just because no one shows nervousness doesn't mean that the spy isn't among them, it's very likely that he's a scheming and thoughtful person, and others can't see his flaws at all.

I continued: Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the last general thinks that he should suspend his eastward advance and stay in Luoyang City to prevent accidents.

As soon as Tang Xuanzong heard this, he thought about it for a while, and felt that it made sense, so he said: Just do what Jiang Aiqing wants, but you must quickly find out the truth of the matter, and you can't delay the time to go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen.

Me: The last general received the order, returned to the emperor, and the last general still had something to say.

Tang Xuanzong: Speak.

Me: In order to protect the safety of the emperor and all the lords, the last general hopes that the emperor and all the ministers will not leave the palace.

Actually, I want to keep them all in the palace so that they can be monitored.

Tang Xuanzong: Quasi-playing.

Me: Thank you, Your Majesty.

Tang Xuanzong: In that case, let's all go down.

We shouted in unison: Resignation.

Everyone went to their rooms, and as for Jin Dafa and the others, I naturally let them out of the palace and let them go back to the house on their own.

I summoned all eighteen Ouchi masters to my room.

Me: You are divided into two teams, one team guards outside the emperor's palace to protect the emperor's safety; Another team monitors all the ministers in the palace to see who is behaving unusually.

All eighteen Ouchi masters took the order and left.

Me: Brother Long, let's go to the barracks and have a look, Stupid Cow, Dog Baby, Sword Brother, the three of you are guarding the gate of the palace, no one can enter or leave without my order.

Stupid Cow and Dog Baby: Okay, big brother.

Yang Jian still used his standard murderous eyes to show me obedience.

Me: Let's split up.

We all walked out of the palace, and the stupid cow, the dog baby, and Yang Jian were guarding at the gate of the palace, and I took Wang Lung to the barracks.

Came to the barracks and met Goshuhan.

Me: General, Jiang has already told the emperor that the army will rest in place and wait until the truth of the matter is found out before starting out.

Goshuhan: Command.

Me: General, please gather all the soldiers, no one can act alone today, and even a small hand must be untied in a group of ten people before they can go.

Ge Shuhan: General Jiang suspects that there is a conspiracy within us?

Me: I don't hide it from the general, since Jiang's plan to lure the enemy failed, he began to suspect that there was a spy in the imperial court, and coupled with what happened in the past two days, it can be concluded that there is a spy inside us, so we must monitor everyone.

Geshuhan: Understood.

Me: Then there's General Laugo.

Ge Shuhan: It's all for the imperial court, and General Jiang doesn't need to be polite.

Me: Okay, then Jiang said goodbye, and asked General Brother to leave this place.

Ge Shuhan: Please rest assured General Jiang that Ge will definitely complete the task.

We said goodbye to Goshuhan and walked out of the barracks.

Wang Long: Brother Jiang, what now?

Me: Wait, we can only wait for the spy to show up, there is nothing else to do.

Wang Long: In this way, we are too passive.

Me: Yes! But there is no other way.

Wang Long: Not really.

We rushed to the palace, and as soon as we arrived at the gate of the palace, we saw a woman and a man at the gate of the palace greeting the stupid cow and the dog.

The woman is wearing a long skirt and the man is wearing an oriental dress, these two are none other than Begonia and Yitian Guiyi.

I immediately laughed and walked over and said, "Begonia, I finally saw you, I miss you so much!"

Haitang and Yitian Guiyi heard my voice and turned their heads to look at me, and when they saw me and Wang Lung approaching, their faces were full of smiles.

I walked over quickly, wanting to hug Begonia.

However, it was obvious that Haitang's smile was not aimed at me, she walked directly to Wang Long's side and said softly: Brother Long, long time no see.

Wang Lung: Yes! Long time no see, how are you doing?

Begonia: It's a good life, but it's a bit tiring to study medicine.

Wang Long: It doesn't matter if you're tired, it's good to be able to learn skills.

When I saw Begonia chatting so happily with Wang Lung, it was as if he didn't see me at all, and my heart broke all of a sudden.

I forced a smile and said to Yitian Guiyi: Brother Guiyi, I haven't seen you for a long time.

Yida Guiyi: Brother Dazhi, long time no see.

Me: Stop standing outside and go back to your room to talk.

I took Wang Long, Begonia, and Yitian Guiyi back to the room, and let Benniu, Gouwa, and Yang Jian continue to guard the door.

Me: Brother Guiyi, how do you know that we are in Luoyang City?

Yitian Guiyi: Brother Dazhi, it's like this, the master went out this morning and saw the morning sun like blood, and he felt that something was wrong. According to astronomical phenomena, it is normal for the remnant sun to be like blood; However, the morning sun is like blood, and there is only one situation, that is, the heart-devouring Gu poison that frightened the people in the rivers and lakes has reappeared in the rivers and lakes.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately threw myself on the five bodies that this medicine king Sun Simiao admired.

Me: What is Mind Eater Gu Poison?

Begonia: Heart-devouring Gu poison is a highly toxic invented by the Nanyang people, this poison is colorless and tasteless, it is born when it encounters water, and the poisoned person will be quick for a few hours, and slow within three days, and will definitely die a whimper.

Me: Can this Heart-Eating Gu Poison be detected with a silver needle?

Begonia: It can't be detected by any means, but the world is also wonderful, people can't detect it, but God can detect it; Therefore, whenever a Heart-devouring Gu poison appears, the morning sun will turn bloody.

When I heard this, I was really surprised, and thought to myself: my good man, I can't even detect the silver needle, no wonder I don't know how to poison to death.

Me: Begonia, can you quickly show me if I have been poisoned?

Begonia: Look at your fear of death, you are still a general.

When I heard Begonia's words, I was very unhappy. However, at this time, she is the uncle, so I can only endure it.

Me: Life is precious, and people should cherish it!

Begonia: This poison only occurs at night, so even if you get poisoned, you'll be fine during the day today.

As soon as I heard this, I thought to myself: No wonder the soldiers died at night, and nothing happened during the day, for the poison only occurred at night.

Me: Begonia, we have no grievances in the past, and we have no enemies in the near future, you don't need to treat me like this.

When Haitang heard this, he laughed and said: Seeing that you have a good attitude, I will show you first.

After Haitang said this, he walked outside the room, and said as he walked: Come outside.

We followed Begonia to the outside of the room.

Begonia: Untie your clothes to reveal your left chest.

In order to save my life, I didn't care about any shyness, so I immediately unbuttoned my shirt and exposed my left chest.

I saw Haitang take out a small wooden box from his breast pocket, open the wooden box casually, take out a very small long silver needle, prick a needle at my left chest, and pull it out in an instant.

I only felt a slight pain in my left chest, but there was no bleeding or anything.

Begonia: You weren't poisoned.

When I heard this, I was overjoyed; However, in addition to being happy, I also thought: If I had not been poisoned, then it would be possible to prove that from Weicheng to Luoyang, this spy had never been poisoned again. It can be seen that the only chance for him to start is the time to eat his first lunch after coming out of Chang'an City.

Begonia also gave Wang Lung a needle, and he was not poisoned.

At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that there is a way to detoxify, and there is also a way to find a spy.

Me: Begonia, hurry up with me to see if the emperor has been poisoned?

I took Wang Long, Begonia, and Yitian to one, and quickly ran to the emperor's bedroom.

We came to the outside of Tang Xuanzong's dormitory and saw Gao Lishi guarding the door.

Me: Father-in-law Gao, hurry up and ask the emperor to come out, there will be something important to tell you at the end.

Seeing that I was very anxious, Gao Lishi knocked on the door of Tang Xuanzong's bedroom, and Tang Xuanzong told him to come in and talk.

Gao Lishi walked into Tang Xuanzong's bedroom, and after a while, Tang Xuanzong and Gao Lishi both walked out.

The four of us quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: Long live my emperor, long live, long live.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, no courtesy.

Me: Your Majesty, these two are Haitang and Yitian Guiyi, they are both masters of medical Taoism, and when they learned that the army had been poisoned by the Heart-devouring Gu, they specially came to detoxify the army.

Tang Xuanzong: Okay, then let's diagnose me first, and see if I have been poisoned?

Begonia: Obey, please untie your shirt and expose your left chest.

When Gao Lishi heard this, he said loudly: Presumptuous.

I hurriedly smiled and said: Your Majesty, this is a necessary thing for detoxification, and I hope the emperor will forgive me.

Tang Xuanzong: That is, detoxification, of course, there is no problem.

Gao Lishi hurriedly helped Tang Xuanzong untie his shirt, revealing his left chest.

Haitang pierced Tang Xuanzong's left chest with a silver needle, and instantly saw a blood-colored worm crawling out of Tang Xuanzong's left chest.

Me: Your Majesty, are you alright?

Tang Xuanzong: It's okay.

Begonia: Back to the Emperor, your Heart-Eating Gu Poison has been lifted. This poisonous insect will turn to ashes as soon as it sees the sun, and the emperor can rest assured.

Tang Xuanzong: I can't imagine that Miss Begonia has such medical skills at such a young age, I don't know if she wants to be an official?

Haitang: Thank you for the emperor's love, the grass people are used to being alone, and they are not used to eating official meals.

Tang Xuanzong smiled and said: Since this is the case, I will not force you, hurry up and show Gao Lishi as well.

Begonia: Yes.

Begonia helped Gaolishi also detoxify, and Gaolishi was very grateful to Haitang.

Me: Your Majesty, the last general already has a way to find a spy.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, let's talk about it.

Me: Back to the emperor, judging from the current situation, everyone who came out of Chang'an City, including the emperor, has been poisoned; Then, those who are not poisoned are the ones who are poisoned, that is, the spies of the imperial court.

Tang Xuanzong: Jiang Aiqing, what you said is reasonable, Gao Lishi, go and call all the ministers over.

Colliers: Yes.

Colliers ran to call the ministers who accompanied him.

At this time, there was a little excitement in my heart; Because, after all, this is the first time I have solved a major case.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have a faint smile on my face.
