Chapter 149 Poisoning

Scarlet Smoke came to Southern Xinjiang as a distinguished guest personally invited by the elders of Southern Xinjiang, and was naturally respected everywhere in Southern Xinjiang.

The scarlet smoke was jolting on the carriage, and I didn't sleep all night last night, I only felt dizzy and dizzy, and the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra in the distance came faintly, and before I reached the banquet hall, I could imagine what it looked like there was singing and dancing.

"General Xiaocai, we're here!" The carriage stopped suddenly, and Scarlet Smoke woke up from his closed eyes, got out of the carriage, and when he raised his eyes, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the prosperity in front of him.

Embroidered curtains, glazed tiles, cigarette smoke, and beautiful women.

Scarlet Smoke has been fighting on the battlefield these days, and he is used to seeing the battlefield storm and the bloodshed of swords and guns, but suddenly he is a little unaccustomed to seeing such a peaceful and prosperous scene.

"Heh, this is the famous cavalry general in the north!" This is, a man sneered and came from a distance, and the scarlet smoke glanced sideways, it turned out to be Wei Xian!

I saw Wei Xian raise his eyebrows, his eyes scanned the up and down of the scarlet smoke, and the sneering expression on his face deepened, "How burly and tall I am when I am still a cavalry general, I am here today, and it is not like that." ”

Wei Xian's direct provocation made the atmosphere of the scene embarrassing, and the soldiers who followed the scarlet smoke were unable to breathe this breath, and their hands had already pressed the hilt of the sword in unison, and the next moment the sword was about to be unsheathed.

In such a situation full of gunpowder, the crimson smoke hooked the corners of his mouth, and said lightly, "General Ben doesn't know what kind of person you are to make such disrespectful remarks, but I was invited by your elders in southern Xinjiang, and for the sake of your elders' face, I will not blame the past." ”

"Let's go." Scarlet Smoke spat out softly, and then, as if disdainful, he stopped looking at it, and then led his soldiers to the hall without looking back.

After Scarlet Smoke left, Wei Xian's expression was distorted and difficult to see, his fists grabbed fiercely, his nails seemed to be embedded in the flesh before he stopped, and his fierce eyes stared directly at the back of Scarlet Smoke leaving.

"Hmph, what a cavalry general, I want to see how long you can be proud!" Wei Xian gritted his teeth and said, and then followed, but when he reached the door of the banquet hall, he stopped.

There was a trace of gloom in his slender eyes, since this cavalry general was so arrogant and powerful, if he could get rid of this cavalry general, it would naturally be regarded as a meritorious service.

So, Wei Xian glanced at his subordinates, and his subordinates understood, and immediately knelt down.

"You put this in the wine glass of that so-called Xiaocai general," Wei Xian said gloomily, and then took out a small packet of medicinal powder from his sleeve, "Remember, don't let others find out!" ”

"Yes!" The subordinate threw back a sinister smile at Wei Xian, "Don't worry, my lord!" ”

Scarlet smoke walked into the banquet hall, and all kinds of delicacies were already on display in it, and the sound of bells and music was undulating, so rich and graceful.

"General Xiaocai is here, hurry up and be affectionate!" On the high seat of the banquet hall, an old man with gray hair and beard stood up and greeted with a smile, and at the same time, he pointed to the chief position on his right, obviously wanting Scarlet Smoke to sit here.

Scarlet Yan also treated him politely, walked over generously, returned to his seat, and looked at the few old men in front of him, presumably they were the most respected elders in southern Xinjiang.

And sitting opposite to Scarlet Smoke was Wei Xian, at this moment, Wei Xian's eyes swept over the wine glass in front of Scarlet Smoke without leaving a trace, as long as she drank a sip of the wine, she would be doomed.

The elder of Southern Xinjiang raised his hand and saw that it was almost time, so he stood up, signaled for the singing and dancing music to stop, and then cleared his throat, and suddenly, there was silence in the hall.

"The cavalry general rushed thousands of miles from the northern army to the southern Xinjiang, which really moved the old man, the old man has lived for decades in his life, but he has never seen such a heroic person as the northern cavalry general."

"The Great Elder is right," another old man got up, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face either, "As soon as General Xiaocai confronted the Southern Army head-on, the Southern Army was already in chaos and fell into a disadvantaged position, which shows the strategy and wisdom of General Xiaocai!" ”

The smile on Scarlet Smoke's face was slightly visible, and he replied modestly, "It's over, it's not as powerful as you say, it's just a moment of luck." ”

"Come, let's all get up and salute the cavalry general!" Wei Xian on the side was already impatient to wait, and took the lead in raising the wine glass in his hand.

Seeing this, everyone also got up and raised their wine glasses to show their respect, and set their eyes on Scarlet Smoke with great anticipation, so that Scarlet Smoke also had to raise the wine glass in front of her, and hesitated in her heart, if she could, she would not eat anything from southern Xinjiang, but now I am afraid that she can't help herself.

"Greetings to the cavalry general!"

Everyone said in unison, drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and Scarlet Smoke had to take a shallow sip when everyone was unprepared, and then put down the wine glass.

After just one bite of the stomach, she felt that her abdomen was burning wildly, her heart sank, and the secret was not good, and sure enough, she should have kept an extra heart.

The feeling of dizziness immediately hit him, and Scarlet Smoke only felt that the world was spinning in front of him, and his stomach was overturned, and his vision became confused.

There was still the laughter of the people around him in his ears, and the scarlet smoke was holding the discomfort, but his eyes turned to Wei Xian, although he was dizzy, he could clearly see a treacherous smile rippling at the corner of Wei Xian's mouth.

Immediately, he said "wow", and a mouthful of blood spat out from Scarlet Yan's throat, "General! General, what's wrong with you? Several of Scarlet Smoke's subordinates panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her up.

But Scarlet Smoke was even weaker in his hands and feet, collapsed to the ground, and clearly felt the sweetness of blood in his tongue, and the next second he was completely unconscious.

"What have you done to our general!" After the scarlet smoke passed out, dozens of soldiers who came with the scarlet smoke drew their swords and stood up, their bodies full of momentum, staring fiercely at everyone here.

The people of southern Xinjiang present, especially the elders on the high seat, were even more confused when they saw such a change, and panicked.

"You believe us, we really want to invite the general to come over, I really don't know why this is happening......" One of the elders tried to check on his injuries, but was intercepted by a soldier's sword.

"You still want to quibble, I know that you have bad intentions, did you poison the general?" The atmosphere at the scene was deadlocked, and the corners of the scarlet cigarette mouth were still dripping with blood.

The great elders of Southern Xinjiang knew that they couldn't argue, but looking at the scarlet smoke from a distance, it was indeed like they had been poisoned, and their hearts were very anxious, although they said that they had no intention of harming General Xiaocai, but if General Xiaocai was killed here, then Southern Xinjiang was destined to jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.

"Everyone, don't worry," the Great Elder said calmly, while slowly approaching the soldiers guarding the scarlet smoke, wanting them to regain their composure, "I use my reputation as a guarantee, the poisoning of the Xiaocai General will definitely not be committed by the people of Southern Xinjiang, if so, then I will definitely catch the mastermind behind the scenes, and then let you deal with it!" ”

"Phew, is your reputation more important than the lives of our generals? I don't care if you did it or not, anyway, the general has three longs and two shorts, and you don't want to live in peace in southern Xinjiang! "The accident made the scarlet soldiers lose their minds.

Seeing that it was useless, the Great Elder's gray hair seemed to be even paler, and he turned to say, "But now it is useless for you to protect the general like this, it is better to quickly let the Imperial Doctor go over to diagnose and treat it, and it is important to save your life!" ”

When these people heard this, they fell silent, indeed, it is the most important thing to save the general's life now, so they reluctantly made a way and let the imperial doctor come in and diagnose.

"If you can't save the general, watch your heads!" After a fierce threat, the soldier withdrew the blade into its scabbard.

The imperial doctor carefully pressed the pulse of Scarlet Smoke, looked at her wine glass again, and immediately gave Scarlet Smoke acupuncture a few acupuncture points, and after a pillar of incense, he came back sweating profusely.

"The general is indeed highly poisoned, but fortunately, the rescue was timely, and the poison he took was less, and he is now temporarily out of danger of life!"

After finishing the words, everyone present breathed a long sigh of relief, as long as General Xiaocai was fine, everything would be easy to say.

"Let me ask you, why did the general have a huge poison in his body?" The Imperial Doctor's collar was suddenly grabbed by the scarlet soldiers, and the cold light in his eyes seemed to be able to swallow the Imperial Doctor alive.

Although the imperial doctor's collar was caught, he still hesitated, and he didn't dare to meet the soldier's cold eyes, and beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

"Say!"

The soldier roared, drawing his sword to the doctor's throat, as if that was the last chance for the doctor.

"Okay, I say!" The Imperial Physician closed his eyes tightly, and his voice trembled, "The source of the poison in the general's body does come from the glass of wine in front of her. ”

The window paper was pierced, Wei Xian's teeth itched with hatred, and everyone was like water in an oil pot, exploding, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Let's take the general to the dormitory to rest first!" The Great Elder was also embarrassed, and quickly diverted the topic, "Now the general should get enough rest!" ”

But despite this, the news of the southern Xinjiang's attempt to murder the northern cavalry general spread like a flood, and soon reached the ears of the people in the north.

Overnight in the north, the voices of dissatisfaction abounded, and the voice of the crusade against the north became stronger and stronger, and the poisoning of the scarlet smoke in the south was like a fuse, completely detonating the dissatisfaction with the south from top to bottom.

The southern Xinjiang side was also panicked, and several elders could only try their best to send people to explain the situation to the northern country, and they were very busy, and swore that they would definitely give a reasonable explanation to the northern country, and would send the Xiaocai general back to the northern country safely.

This made the northern country temporarily stand still, but it was still secretly rectifying the soldiers and horses, as long as the general of the cavalry had a little accident, the war would undoubtedly start to prolong.
