Chapter 555: Waiting for the Girl to Capture the Thief
Two days after Liu Wei was sure that the medicinal juice was effective against the pests, dozens of sturdy men in the fields outside the city, in a row, holding clay pots in their hands, sprayed the medicinal juice on the green seedlings in the fields.
The clay pots held by the men this time were very different from the last time Liu Wei watched them here.
The clay pots in the hands of the men have a big sprinkler head, and the medicinal juice sprays out from the sprinkler head, like a fine mist shrouding the green seedlings in the field.
The men holding clay pots sprayed potions, walked from one field to another, and when their backs reached another field in the distance, Liu Wei stepped down the ridge, stretched out his hand to pull away the green seedlings, and looked into the green seedlings.
Just by glancing at it, Liu Wei's face was full of smiles, he stood up, raised his hand and shouted to Guan Qing and Hua Tuo who were standing on the ridge: "Sir, Qing'er, the medicine is useful!" ”
Hearing Liu Bian's shout, Guan Qing and Hua Tuo first glanced at each other, and then jumped off the ridge and stood beside Liu Bian.
Squatting down, Guan Qing pushed aside the green seedlings, glanced between the leaves of the green seedlings, and suddenly showed joy, looked up at Liu Wei, and shouted at him: "Your Highness, the insects are dead!" ”
When Liu Wei shouted that the medicinal juice was useful, the dragoon guards and villagers waiting for the results on the ridge did not dare to jump off the ridge immediately to see the result of the pest being sprayed.
When Guan Qing also shouted such a voice, the villagers present could no longer suppress the anticipation in their hearts, jumped into the field, and looked at the seedlings that had been infested by the insects.
Sure enough, what the villagers saw were a handful of insects that had died in the green seedlings.
When they saw that the insects were really poisoned by the medicinal juice, they could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts, and they knelt down in front of Liu Wei in the field, shouting "Long live the King of Luoyang".
The medicinal juice prepared by Hua Tuo is a very toxic poison. If an ordinary person eats a small bowl, but in an instant, he will die of anger.
Even people can't bear the toxicity, and small insects can't bear it.
The reason why the medicinal juice did not work earlier was not that it was useless to the insects, but that the men sprayed the medicinal juice with utensils, which could not atomize the medicinal juice and spray it, and most of the medicinal juice splashed on the ground and did not drip on the seedlings at all.
The medicinal juice is not drenched with green seedlings, even if the toxicity is strong, it is useless.
The reason why Liu Wei ordered people to find those clay craftsmen that day was to ask them to develop a clay pot that could spray the medicinal juice in the form of a mist.
At first, the clay craftsmen did not know what to do to make the liquid spray out of the mouth of the pot, until Liu Wei drew a sketch of a watering pot for them.
Verified to be effective against pests, in the Luoyang area, poisons and spray clay pots are widely used in the fields that have been infested, but the poison has not been widely promoted by Liu Wei, and only a few men who can come into contact with the poison are responsible for spraying in the fields.
In the Luoyang area, at the same time as the large-scale extermination was launched, in Yangzhou City, Jia Xu was also allowed to meet Wang Zhen for the first time.
In the Yangzhou prison, Jia Xu saw Wang Zhen, who was unkempt and unkempt, but did not see any malaise.
The place where the two met was a relatively spacious cell in the cell.
Knowing that Jia Xu was coming, the Huainan army, which was guarding Wang Zhen, found a few mothers-in-law and wanted to freshen up Wang Zhen's life. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhen didn't eat them at all, refused to freshen up, and had to meet Jia Xu with an unkempt image.
"How's the girl?" Seeing Wang Zhen, whose face was full of filth and even his hair was fluffy like a bird's nest, Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, and then a touch of anger flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at the Huainan army who was standing around guarding Wang Zhen, and then arched towards Wang Zhen with both hands and fists, and greeted her.
Since he joined Liu Wei in Dangcheng, Wang Zhen has been with Wang Liu and followed Liu Wei all day long. It stands to reason that Jia Xu should call her "general", but being called like this is not good for rescuing Wang Zhen, but may cause more trouble, and it is precisely for this reason that Jia Xu calls Wang Zhen "girl".
Wang Zhen, whose arms were tied behind him with thick hemp rope and fluffy hair like a crazy fool, smiled at Jia Xu and said to Jia Xu: "I didn't expect Zhonglang to come here, I made an appointment with my sister and came to Yangzhou to play." I don't want to be victimized by traitors, if I die here this time, I hope Zhonglang will inform His Highness of our sorrow! ”
As soon as Wang Zhen's words came out, Jia Xu's heart suddenly widened.
Before meeting Wang Zhen, he was still worried that Wang Zhen would say that he would kill Yuan Shu because he couldn't resist the torture or couldn't suppress his anger. If that's the case, if you want to save Wang Zhen, I'm afraid it will be a lot more difficult.
Now that they have just met, Wang Zhen said such things. There are a lot of grievances and resentment in the words, and whoever listens to it will feel that she and Wang Liu came here, and they had no other intentions, but they were framed during the game.
In this way, it will be much easier for Jia Xu to rescue Wang Zhen.
"Your Highness knows that the girl and sister are working hard, and specially allows the sister to have a few days to relax, so that you two can rest for a good life!" Putting down the fists he was holding, Jia Xu smiled indifferently and said to Wang Zhen: "I don't want you two to be harmed by traitors." When His Royal Highness heard this, he was very angry, and he specially ordered a certain person to get his sister back! With His Royal Highness in charge of the sisters, the girl should be at ease! ”
"Your Highness is worried!" His arms were tied with hemp rope, Wang Zhen couldn't give Jia Xu a return gift, but his face showed a sense of loss, sighed lightly, and said to Jia Xu: "I heard that Yangzhou is beautiful, and my sisters came here on purpose, but they didn't want to commit a villain!" In vain, Zhonglang ran thousands of miles, and the little girl was very uneasy in her heart. ”
"Don't worry too much about the girl, and endure it for a few days, she will definitely persuade Yuan Gong to release the girl!" Knowing that Wang Zhen was not talking in the prison, Jia Xu hugged his fists, arched at her again, and said to her: "Say goodbye!" ”
"Zhonglang is good to go!" From Jia Xu's look and speech, Wang Zhen knew that it was only a matter of time before she left the prison, and didn't say anything more, just greeted Jia Xu and watched him leave the prison.
Jia Xu got Yuan Shu's promise to come to the prison to visit, and the Huainan Army guards in the prison also knew that if there was no accident, Wang Zhen would be let go in a few days, and Wang Zhen would be escorted back to the cell, so they didn't embarrass her anymore.
Leaving the prison, Jia Xu was surrounded by a group of Luoyang soldiers who accompanied him, and ran quickly towards Yuan Shu's mansion.
Knowing that Wang Zhen had not said anything wrong, Jia Xu was a little more confident that this trip would be successful.
After leaving the prison and only turning two streets, Jia Xu felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong.
In the Yangzhou market, people come and go on weekdays are very lively, but at this moment the sky is still bright, it is a good time to sell goods and trade, but the market is empty, not to mention the people, even a patrol of the Huainan army is not seen.
Just when Jia Xu was riding a horse, leading a team of Luoyang troops who were in charge of escorting and some Huainan troops sent by Yuan Shu to protect him, and running quickly on the street full of suspicion, a figure suddenly turned out at the street corner in front of him.
It was a man dressed in dark ink, and in his hand he held a sword that was much longer than an ordinary long sword.
Ordinary long swords are generally only three to four feet, but the long sword in the man's hand is six feet long.
Although the distance was very far, Jia Xu could see that the long sword in the man's hand was not made of ordinary iron, but should be made of Wusha obtained from the Western Regions mixed with iron.
In the sunlight, the long sword in the hand of the man in front of him glowed with a black luster, just like the sword body was coated with a thin layer of carbon ink.
Seeing a man blocking the way in front of him, Jia Xu raised his arm, stopped the march of the team, held the reins in one hand, twisted his brows, and stared at the man without blinking.
The man with the long sword lowered his head, and his eyes didn't even glance at Jia Xu, as if the appearance of Jia Xu and the others had nothing to do with him at all.
"Dare to ask Your Excellency, why is the sword holding me in the way?" The man with the long sword blocked the way, Jia Xu reined in the horse, picked up his fists, arched towards the man in the distance, and asked loudly: "Could it be that you are driven by someone to come and kill someone?" ”
"I know that I want to die, and I ask so much!" It was not at all out of Jia Xu's expectations, as soon as the man spoke, he directly stated his purpose, and the people who followed Jia Xu only heard the man say in a cold tone: "With only the guards led by Jia Zhonglang, it is not easy to stop Yu XX!" ”
"Protect Nakaro!" As soon as the man's words fell, the officer of the Huainan Army who accompanied Jia Xu to the prison shouted, and rushed to the front first, blocking in front of Jia Xu.
The Huainan Army, which accompanied the officer to protect Jia Xu, received the order and immediately dispersed, protecting Jia Xu and the Luoyang Legion in the middle.
A group of Huainan troops protected Jia Xu in the middle, and the man was holding a long sword, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he walked towards Jia Xu with a slow pace.
"Zhonglang be careful!" Just when the man walked to a place that was only more than ten steps away from Jia Xu, in the alley on the side, there was a sudden shout, and Wang Liu, who had been stared at by Wang Xun for several days, suddenly jumped out of the alley and stopped in front of the officer of the Huainan Army with his sword.
Following Wang Liu, there was also a young man with a sword. When the young man rushed out, he glared at the Huainan army surrounding Jia Xu, and a flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
However, he did not attack the Huainan army, but forcibly suppressed the desire to kill, held a long sword, and stood side by side with Wang Liu.
"Miss Wang Liu!" Wang Liu jumped out, Jia Xu was stunned for a moment, then he picked up his fists, arched to Wang Liu, who was facing away from him, and said, "I'm looking for a girl, but it's easy to find!" ”
"This person is Wang Chen's subordinate, and he is good at swordsmanship! Zhonglang retreated, don't get too close to the place of battle! Wang Liu didn't look back, she held the long sword, stared at the long sword man who had stopped on the other side without blinking, and explained to Jia Xu coldly.
After Wang Liu's words, Jia Xu didn't say much, shook the reins, and shouted to the guards of the Luoyang Army and the officers and soldiers of Huainan beside him: "Everyone stand back and wait for the girl to capture the thief!" ”
