Chapter 29: Poisoning
The last rays of sunlight disappeared into the western wall of the city.
Several groups of people who had been prepared for a long time retreated in an orderly manner in batches.
The army is in the front and the front, and the people are in the middle. Among the people, the young and strong were on both sides, and the women and children were in the middle.
Quiet night.
The third watch is about to pass, and the Nanwei army finally withdrew its troops.
Qian Tianhe stood on the southern city wall of Xuanzhou, looking into the distance.
Hold out for another hour, and they will be able to retreat.
Qian Tianhe reclined on the side of the city wall and rested for a while.
With a good spirit, he can react quickly in times of crisis.
When the time came, Qian Tianhe gestured, and the soldiers placed the scarecrow prepared in advance on the city wall.
Assemble under the city in an orderly manner.
Behind the south gate of the city of Xuanzhou was also a log as thick as an arm.
At the sound of an order, the lightly armed and reduced team quickly rushed to the north gate of Xuanzhou City, where there were war horses for them to flee after being cut off.
At this time, Ping Yuanzhong was leading a team of 100 people to climb over the city wall of Xuanzhou.
Years of experience in the war told him that there was a problem on this wall.
Because the moment they stepped into the range of the archers of the city wall, there were no unexpected cold arrows.
The long knife was waved, and the scarecrow's head flew down the city wall.
Solid wall clearing?
Ping Yuanzhong had the answer in his heart.
There were twenty or thirty people who climbed the wall by means of ropes and ladders.
Ping Yuanzhong snatched the bow and arrow from the guard's back, and ran along the roof of the house in Xuzhou City to the north.
He drew his bow and arrows as he ran, waiting for his target to appear.
It's that cunning young Chito.
Ping Yuanzhong leaned sideways, aiming at Qian Tianhe.
With the sound of cold arrows, Xiao Xuanyu subconsciously pulled out his long sword.
The cold arrow that should have been shot at Qian Tianhe's heart from behind missed and hit Qian Tianhe's left shoulder.
Another cold arrow, Xiao Xuanyu was quick this time, and cut off the arrow.
Seeing that there was no hope, Ping Yuanzhong quickly hid his figure.
"Speed up."
The crowd that had been trotting quickened.
Turn over and get on the horse, there is a glimmer of life.
Ping Yuanzhong's hundred-man squad did not chase after him.
Xiao Xuanyu hugged Qian Tianhe, whose face was gradually pale, and ran all the way to Mengxi County.
"Doctor, where is the doctor?"
Xiao Xuanyu felt his friend's gradually cold body, and was a little scared.
He thought of death.
"Qian Qianhu is poisoned by the four elephants of Nan Wei, so his breathing is weakened."
"This poison can be solved, but there is a lack of medicinal herbs Xuanya, this medicinal material is produced in the high mountains of Jiangzhou, it is quite common, send someone to go to Jiangzhou quickly, Qian Qianhu may be saved."
Xiao Xuanyu, who was so confused in his mind, suddenly sobered up a little when he heard the word "help".
"I ...... I'm ...... now Go now, and ask the military doctor to take good care of him. ”
Xiao Xuanyu wore a bloody dress dyed crimson and hurried to Jiangzhou.
-------------------------------------
Because of the war in Xuanzhou, Cuidong raised the taxes of the rest of the states except Xuanzhou.
Wan Jinyue's liquor store has halved its input, but there is still value in it.
After thinking about it, Wan Jinyue still decided to open a branch in Jiangzhou.
Wan Jinyue, who lives in the Yuan Mansion, gossips with her cousin during the day, and occasionally goes out shopping.
Secretly, she asked Qinglan to take a look at the storefront in Xicheng, Jiangzhou, under the pretext of going out to buy.
It's already the seventh day of the second lunar month, and Qinglan has found a shop with a suitable location and a fair price in Xicheng, Jiangzhou in the past few days.
This shop is located in the center of Jiangzhou Xicheng, adjacent to a teahouse in the east, an inn in the west, and a small hidden courtyard behind it.
Wan Jinyue went out today by picking up fabrics on the street.
The house is clean and tidy and the price is in line with the market price. On the way, she changed her appearance, and Wan Jinyue, who wore a hat, was very satisfied, she hurriedly paid the money, got the lease deed and stopped staying.
As for the trivial matters of the opening of the wine shop, they were all handed over to Qinglan to do.
The spring rain was dripping, and Wan Jinyue was slowly pacing alone in Jiangzhou City.
There is a bit of grass in the air, and spring, which represents vitality.
"Wan girl, I want to visit Xicheng, I haven't read the script for a long time."
"Then you can pick it yourself, I'll take a nap."
Yun Yuan walked to the Xicheng Market lively.
Talk book! Interesting words book! Jiangzhou should have its own local story.
Yun Yuan, who was standing in front of the script stall, suddenly stopped.
Acquaintance? That seems to be the quasi-second brother-in-law before Wan Yatou? His father seems to have been demoted to Jiangzhou.
Yun Yuan, who had lost interest in Zhang Fenyi, was about to turn around and saw an acquaintance again.
Ye Lin?
Ye Lin and Zhang Fenyi entered the same wine shop?
This aroused Yun Yuan's curiosity.
She restrained her footsteps and followed into the liquor store.
Today's Ye Lin and Zhang Fenyi are not dressed extravagantly, it should be to cover up their identities.
They sat in the lobby eating small dishes, like ordinary guests in the West Market.
Yun Yuan asked for a pot of thin wine and two plates of side dishes not far from him, and sat with his back to them.
But the ears are like rabbits.
"Brother Ye is still this glamorous person, and he is still willing to eat and drink with a sludge like me?" It was Zhang Fenyi's voice.
"There is news from Master Xu of the Academy."
"He asked you to attack the young lady who lives in the Yuan Mansion, and it is best to bring it back to the academy."
"What's more, Master Xu asked you not to be delusional about breaking away from the control of the academy, otherwise you will really experience the taste of a ruined family." This is a little different from Ye Lin's voice that I had heard before.
Ye Lin's voice had always been soft before, but now it was extremely cold.
That's his original voice.
"Brother Ye is a good blessing, the task is smooth, junior brother, I am incompetent, and this life is like this. Tell Master Xu that I will complete the task well. ”
"Brother Zhang, why should you be discouraged, listen to the words of the academy carefully, you will not lose your glory and wealth."
"Really? Is the academy really here to help you and me become high-ranking families? Then why did I get close to the higher-status Shunqing County Lord, but instead caused the academy to sanction me? ”
Zhang Fenyi had a self-deprecating smile on his face.
"Besides, maybe you and I really lack this so-called status, so is Li Chengfeng lacking? His two aunts are both queens, and such a family background also follows the instructions of the academy, right? ”
What are the colleges they call them? What kind of character is Xu Fuzi? What are the benefits of attacking Wan girl?
Yun Yuan's heart was full of doubts, she suppressed her temperament and drank wine in small sips. Listen carefully to the very quiet conversation.
As soon as Ye Lin went out, Yun Yuan settled the account and went out.
Follow him, and you'll definitely get some clues.
The women's costumes were complicated, which slowed down Yun Yuan's speed a little.
When he walked to the booth where he had just stood, he felt a strong sense of dizziness and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Wan Jinyue, who slept soundly in the afternoon, was awakened.
She tried to mobilize her body, but found that it didn't work.
It's as if she never appeared. No matter how Wan Jinyue shouted, there was no response.
The number of onlookers gradually increased, but no one stepped forward to help.
