The fresh water reserves in the castle were quite sufficient, but these soldiers were more fond of the sweet wine, and the supplies in the castle were rationed, and in order to boost morale, all the soldiers responsible for guarding the castle could get a glass of mulled wine as a benefit per shift. The five soldiers who were poisoned were obviously more anxious, and as soon as they got their quota, they couldn't wait to drink it, and then they were poisoned.

Although the other soldiers had already gone to the city and would not affect the defenses because of this poisoning, the people in the castle were panicked, and everyone was talking about it.

All the materials in the castle are stored in a centralized manner, and if someone poisons someone in a barrel of sweet wine, then who knows if someone will also poison someone in fresh water or food next. Perez checked the bodies of the five people with a grim face, and found that they were not too seriously poisoned, but they would not die, but they would not be able to fight for a while.

It's not that the combat power of the five people can't afford to lose, but the chain reaction caused by this is an extremely heavy pressure on the defense of the castle. The soldiers' supply of alcohol was cut off until it was certain that all the alcohol was OK, and even the fresh water and food that were distributed that day were tested to make sure that they were not poisoned.

In fact, simply eating and drinking poison will not really destroy this army, there are still people who can use poison among the pirates, and if they come forward to test it, no one will be tricked. Even if these people are not considered, relying solely on the manpower screening of the troops, there will not really be a large-scale poisoning incident.

But the problem is that there are people around him who can unscrupulously plot against themselves, but they can't even find anyone on their side, and when they think of this, even Perez himself feels depressed, and he can't catch the poisoner, and his morale will be low.

"Spy! It must have been the spy who had not been able to find him before, who was destroying the castle again, and this despicable act must be punished by God. And in the kitchen and food warehouse, there must be his accomplices. Perez was furious and announced that he would hang all the people in the kitchen, but the men were blank and insisted that they did not know who had poisoned them.

"Priest, I don't think we ought to hang these poor people, for they may indeed be unaware. If even our soldiers failed to find the spy, why blame a bunch of cooks? A merciful and generous God does not want us to be angry with the weak and innocent. Teretti walked in from the outside, pleading for the chefs, and when she returned to her room, she looked at Perez with disdain

"It's not the chefs who guard the food warehouse, and if you don't want the food warehouse guards to actually poison the wine, don't just shout punishment or something. Besides, who can be sure where the wine was poisoned, and if you continue to track it down, you will need to hang hundreds of people. Do you want to create a mutiny in the castle? ”

Perez gradually calmed down at this time, not as angry as just now, but took the initiative to apologize:

"I'm sorry, I ...... I think I must be confused, it seems that the commander really can't do this kind of thing. I always thought that I was very good, at least I could defend this castle, and then let the church send me some reward, and then let the Ming court admit that I had the final say on this island, and now it seems that I can't do it. You've always been right, and this time was no exception. We should consider negotiating with those people, who do you think we should send? ”

An hour later, the castle first took advantage of the interval between the cannons to shout outside the city, and then, a negotiation team of more than ten people set off from the city and entered the Ming military camp. Perez looked at the negotiator from the top of the city, couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest, and began to pray sincerely.

He also knows in his own heart, there are too few cards in his hand at present, and the castle that was originally thought to be the trump card now seems to be very reliable. In this environment, I am afraid that the conditions I can get will be far from what I want.

The wealth in the castle, or the name of the governor, may not be preserved. All he wanted now was to keep a fortune enough for him to live in peace for the rest of his life after he had begged the Earl's forgiveness.

The negotiating envoy returned three hours after departure, and Teretti's face was gloomy: "Priest, our negotiation this time has failed. Da Ming offered their conditions, but I think you can't accept it. And the other side is clearly not ready to make concessions. They took me on a tour of the market and their warehouse. Some merchants came here again to trade, they would bring supplies to the Ming soldiers, and in their warehouses, piled with food and fresh water, in fact, they also entertained us with a hearty lunch. At the same time, their commanders found it a great idea to use us as targets to train artillerymen, and were recruiting more artillerymen from home to come here for training. ”

"Lay down your arms and stand trial, and the Franc Robot in the castle will be pardoned, but the commander will not be among them. The property in the castle belonged to the Ming Dynasty...... That's impossible! ”

Looking at the conditions given by the Ming Dynasty officially, Perez's facial muscles spasmed violently, and he roared angrily, "This can't be done at all!" They have no good faith in negotiating, these damned barbarians, arrogance and pride will make them defeated. We still have a mighty fleet and soldiers in Mangara, and if His Excellency the Count wishes, he can send fifty or seventy infantry companies, plus native infantry companies, enough to wipe out all these barbarians. We, we just have to hold on and hold on until the Earl's reinforcements ......"

Teretti only tightened his turban tightly, "As you wish, I hope you and your men will be able to hold out until the Earl's reinforcements arrive, provided that ...... No one continued to be poisoned. ”

She left Perez's room and came to the front of her room, where a soldier stood by the door with a gun, and she closed the door with her backhand, and flirtatiously picked the soldier's chin with her hand, "Hey, my Oriental baby, you did a good job." How much food have you poisoned, and how many people are you going to kill? ”

Leng Feishuang, who was disguised as a soldier, moved lightly under his feet, and had already dodged the other party's hand, "I poisoned three barrels of sweet wine, but the amount of poison is limited, and it can't have much effect." ”

"You are too modest, and the effect of those poisons is probably much greater than you imagined. Oh, by the way, I went to your country during the day to negotiate, and met your guardian, the Chancellor. He asked me again about your condition, and honestly, it makes me jealous, you know, he's my future husband after all, and now he's madly obsessed with another woman, which is something that makes people angry just to think about. ”

Leng Feishuang smiled slightly, "Nun, if you talk about anger, you are still far away, and when you enter the door, you will know how powerful the women of his family are." It's only been ten days, and you have begun to negotiate eagerly, I think, this city is almost impossible to hold, but the conditions you want, he agreed to you? ”

"God willing, the negotiations have been basically completed, and the rest are just some technical details, I must admit that he is an excellent partner, but I don't know if he is also good enough in bed in the future." As she spoke, Sister Treti stripped off her wide nun robe, revealing her hot golden armor, and pressed her slender legs on the bed, tying the dagger and the fire gun one by one.

"What do you want?"

"Be prepared, I thought, maybe we'll be able to use it soon. Take this. A short gun was thrown, and then it was copied by Leng Feishuang in her hand, and her heart moved; This castle has probably been abandoned in the upper echelons of the Yiren, and it won't be long before the owner can be changed
