Chapter 130: The identity of the Red Lotus Banshee
The woman smiled at his cautious request, and looked at the gloom between his eyebrows, and smiled again: "I have recently made a new poison, and I think I can help you a lot." ”
"You mean ......"
Ran Yichen's lowered brows only then rose, and there was always a shallow smile on the corner of her lips: "The water source in Lizhou is very easy to be poisoned, and with my ability, I can come and go without a trace." ”
"Good...... But one thing you have to keep in mind is that it must not be a plague. ”
Ran Yichen was already an unscrupulous person, not to mention that the two armies were fighting, and there was not much affection at all, and the woman's suggestion in front of him was obviously in his arms. It's just that what he needs is a clean Lizhou City, and if the plague spreads, it is very likely that it will backfire on his army.
"Hmm."
Half a month later, in the city of Lizhou.
The guard looked at the corpses that were carried out and burned, his brows were tightly furrowed, and after returning to the camp, a soldier hurriedly ran in: "Back to General Qi, there are also many people in the city who have died, and the signs are the same as these soldiers. ”
Listening to the subordinates' replies, Qi Yan's already tightly wrinkled eyebrows darkened a little, and the hand under the wide sleeve stretched out and smashed it on the small table, and his voice was indescribably tired: "Could it be that no one has diagnosed some clues from the accompanying doctor?" ”
"It may be highly toxic, but there is no antidote to it."
"Poisonous? Water source? ”
Qi Yan has been in the army for many years, although it is said that the current Qi family army can no longer withstand the deterrence of the early years, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and he has received an orthodox education as a descendant of the Qi family, so he is naturally clear about some tricks of marching and fighting.
However, it is precisely because of the clarity that he will be even more frightened, he has sent heavy troops to guard those water sources, how can someone take advantage of the loopholes?
"The last general has gone to various places to renew guards, and he has not found anything suspicious, but he really can't think of any other poisoning methods except for the water source."
The poisoned people are concentrated in the south of the city, which means that the water source in the south of the city is very likely to be tampered with.
Qi Yan, who he could think of, naturally understood, but the most important thing now was not who was poisoned, after all, there was no one else except Beicang Kingdom, and now the first thing to bear was how to detoxify and control the poison.
"Destroy the water source of the south generation of the city for the time being."
"But ...... "If the water source in the south of the city is destroyed, then it will bring all kinds of inconveniences, and besides, won't other water sources be poisoned?"
- These people are obviously using a scheme.
"I know that if the water source in the south of the city is destroyed, then other water sources will also be attacked in the future, and even the people of the North Cang Kingdom obviously want to watch us struggle to the death, but we have no way out."
Those people are naked trying to poison them to make them surrender! The water source in the south of the city is probably just a warning. If they destroy the water source, then they will be attacked by an even more ferocious counterattack by the Beicang Kingdom.
But let him pretend that nothing happened, and watch the people in the south of the city die?
Qi Yan had a straight face, but he heard the sound of Xi Suo Suo outside, and his heart was burning and he shouted outside: "Who is making noise outside?" Get in. ”
After a few breaths, an old man in a royal blue robe appeared at the door, staring at Qi Yan with a cane in his hand, and his voice was a little ridiculous: "Little swallow!" The temper is getting longer and longer! ”
Kneeling sergeant: "......"
Turning his head and silently looking at his general's face, he quickly lowered his head as his face changed color because of his stunnedness.
Qi Yan: "......"
Hearing this cold nickname, Qi Yan's square face showed a bit of purple, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and after being stunned for a moment, he waved his hand to let the people around him retreat, and then hurriedly walked in front of the old man: "Uncle Yan, you can come." ”
Looking at his well-behaved appearance, Yan Wu chuckled and swept around the surrounding furnishings, and then sat on the wooden chair made of good pear blossom wood: "Little Swallow grows up, and he will also march and fight." ”
“…… Uncle Yan, my nephew has grown up, can you change this title? Qi Yan took a deep breath, he could even imagine the sergeant's face just now, thinking that it should be as wonderful as himself!
- The majesty he has accumulated over the years is lost in this call of 'Little Swallow'.
"Grown up?"
"Hmm."
Yan Wu looked at the anticipation in his eyes and coughed lightly, and while he played with the crutches in his hand, he said with a smile: "Could it be that when you grow up, you won't have the surname Qi?" As long as your surname is Qi, then Xiaoyanzi is your milk name. ”
“……”
Qi Yan took a deep breath, after all, he gave up the struggle, facing this strange Uncle Yan, he had never had the upper hand.
"Although I received a secret order early in the morning, saying that you would go to Lizhou, I didn't want to come so soon."
He thought that he had been abandoned by the Great Zhou royal family for so many years, and he must be resentful in his heart, maybe he would take the opportunity to take Qiao, but he didn't expect to rush to Lizhou so soon.
"Lizhou can't afford to wait."
It's not that he didn't think about Naqiao, but when Emperor Ming Xuan, dressed in light cloth, walked up to him and bowed to him, his anger that had been depressed for many years also dissipated.
- People are sometimes so simple, what they need is not glory and wealth, not success, just an attitude. Besides, the Yan family was not innocent in what happened back then, and now that many years have passed, there is no point in talking about right and wrong.
"When I entered the city, I found a lot of corpses, but Ran Yichen attacked the city?"
He entered the city in civilian clothes, and he was only accompanied by a few guards, so he saw things that he couldn't usually see.
There seems to be something wrong with the mood of the common people!
"The water source in the south of the city has been poisoned, and in recent days, both the soldiers guarding the south of the city and the people in the south of the city have died a lot."
It is inevitable that this series of things will cause panic, and it is strange that the common people have good things to say about the court at this time.
"Is there an antidote?"
Even if Yan Wu didn't ask, he knew that the people behind the scenes must be inseparable from the people of Beicang Kingdom, if this poisoning matter could not be properly handled, then the soldiers and civilians in the city would be panicked, so how could this battle be fought?
In the face of life and death, everyone is insignificant.
"There is no antidote yet, after all, the poisonous technique of the Red Lotus Banshee is a must, and few people can crack it."
"Red Lotus?" The figure of a little girl flashed in Yan Wu's mind, and her voice sank a little, "Do you know where she came from?" ”
"That person likes to wear red clothes, looks extremely charming, and is very good at Gu poison techniques, she will accompany Ran Yichen as soon as she appears." Qi Yan pursed the corners of her lips, "According to the secret agent, she has an extremely vicious personality, but she obeys Ran Yichen's words, and her true identity has not been found." ”
