Chapter 1023: Test Pills
Before, Xie Jingchen and Dong Chenglang sneaked into the Daqi military camp to steal the antidote, and the eldest young master Shi answered in a hidden place outside the barracks.
After waiting for a few hours, he had no patience to wait.
He really didn't worry about the two of them, and planned to enter the military camp to investigate, so he heard that Xie Jingchen and Dong Chenglang were captured alive.
At that time, his face was pale, and he infiltrated the enemy camp and was captured alive, and he would never end well.
But he couldn't save them alone, so he could only return to the Nanliang military camp and find someone to rescue.
General Shi wants to save his nephew, and the protector wants an antidote, which is a rare united front.
Here, General Shi Da was in a hurry to point out the troops, but as soon as he walked to the front of the barracks, he saw Xie Jingchen and Dong Chenglang riding back.
Both were injured and crumbling.
Seeing General Shi, Dong Chenglang's heart was relieved and he rolled off the horse directly.
Xie Jingchen was better, he didn't dare to relax.
His face was transfigured, and he must not be discovered.
This time when he returned to the Daqi military camp, Xie Jingchen asked Su Jin for some ointment.
In the past, he could still take off the disguise mask to breathe, but now he and Dong Chenglang live in the same tent, going in and out together, and they haven't taken off the mask for several days.
He hadn't forgotten that the secret guard who looked like the King of the Northern Desert had been in the Chongguo Mansion for more than a month, and his face was almost ruined in the end.
Young Master Shi hurriedly went over to help Dong Chenglang and said, "How did you escape back?" ”
Dong Chenglang really had no strength, he said, "Hijacked, hijacked the ...... who fled back from the king of Nan'an County of Daqi." ”
General Shi breathed a sigh of relief, "Quickly help them in and take medicine." ”
The two officers and soldiers helped Xie Jingchen.
Xie Jingchen got off the horse, and after walking a few steps, he stopped.
He took the medicine bottle from his bosom and said, "This is the antidote." ”
General Shi took the medicine bottle, and Xie Jingchen was helped away.
The military camp treated Dong Chenglang and Xie Jingchen for their injuries.
Xie Jingchen is all traumatized, and he looks scary.
Dong Chenglang looked lightly injured, but he suffered internal injuries.
The medicine bottle was sent to the Protector by General Shi, and the Protector had to take it when he got the antidote.
But when he poured the antidote out of the medicine bottle, he hesitated again.
"Why is there only one?" He said.
There are no less than four generals who have touched the blueprints of the ballista carts, and this is not counting the soldiers of the workshop.
How can an antidote save so many people?
In addition, the design of the crossbow car was pitted, and the protector was a little scared.
was captured alive, and it was easy to escape back, and it was difficult to guarantee that there was no fraud.
Especially this antidote was brought back by General Shi's nephew, Changning Hou Shizi, in case he borrowed the hands of the Great Qi people to get rid of him......
The more I thought about it, the more I didn't dare to eat, even if it was itchy and unbearable, I didn't dare to take it lightly.
The Protector did not dare to take the antidote, and several other generals also encouraged him not to take it.
There is only one antidote to this, and whether it is true or not, it is not good for them.
If the antidote is fake, the Protector will suffer, they are the confidants of the Protector, and they will inevitably lose power.
If the antidote is true and the detoxification is taken by the Protector of the Country, will he still be so anxious to find Daqi to get the antidote?
Without an antidote, they will suffer more and even die.
Originally, the Protector was hesitant, and with a bunch of delays, he didn't dare to eat it.
"The general is concerned about the safety of my Nanliang, don't be negligent, for the sake of prudence, let's find someone to test the medicine, right?" A general proposed.
"One antidote on the left and right can't solve the poison among several generals, and we have to find a way to get the antidote from Daqi."
The Protector felt that what he said was reasonable, and found a soldier from the workshop to test the medicine.
The soldier was in pain, and when he learned that Xie Jingchen and they brought back the antidote, he wondered if the antidote would have their share.
He didn't know that there was only one antidote, and the Protector gave him the antidote, and he took it without thinking about it.
I was itchy all over my body, but after taking the antidote for a while, I didn't feel itchy.
The military doctor gave him a pulse, "The poison is detoxified." ”
The soldier knelt down and thanked the Lord Protector for giving him the antidote.
The Protector of the Kingdom is heart-wrenching, and his bowels are smoking.
Inside the tent.
Xie Jingchen was lying with back pain, and his chest hurt when he was lying on his stomach, so he could only sit cross-legged.
Young Master Shi opened the curtain and came in.
Dong Chenglang asked him, "Cousin, has the Protector of the Nation been detoxified?" ”
"No," said Master Shi.
Xie Jingchen's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Dong Chenglang pounded the quilt and said angrily, "Daqi is really insidious, he actually fooled us with fake medicine!" ”
"Cousin misunderstood," said Young Master Shi.
Dong Chenglang looked at him, and Young Master Shi said, "The antidote is real, but the protector was afraid that there was a problem with the antidote, so he gave it to the generals of the workshop." ”
Dong Chenglang, "....... ”
Xie Jingchen, "....... ”
Xie Jingchen didn't speak.
Dong Chenglang was furious.
The Protector is sick in the brain, right?
Sent them to Daqi to steal the antidote, they almost folded in Daqi, and finally brought the antidote back, and he suspected that there was something wrong with the antidote.
Why didn't he suspect it earlier, why bother with them for a trip?!
This is their fate, and they are going to die in the Daqi military camp, and they are really going to die.
Dong Chenglang has never been so resolute in overthrowing the imperial court as at this moment.
There are too many moths in the court!
Their lives are precious and they can't take any risks, so are other lives a mustard?!
Dong Chenglang was angry, and seeing that Xie Jingchen didn't speak, he said, "Brother Li, aren't you angry?" ”
What is there for him to be angry about?
The Protector could have escaped the catastrophe, but he was about to hit his daughter-in-law on his head.
It's too late for him to be happy, so why be angry?
"We only need to bring the antidote back to complete the task, as for the antidote, who will not take the same?" Xie Jingchen said.
Thinking like this, Dong Chenglang felt a little better.
They were angry, and the protector blamed them for being incompetent, so they only brought back an antidote, and after trying a medicine, it was gone.
It's just a matter of startling the snake, and you can't send someone to steal the antidote.
The next day, the protector ordered the city to be attacked.
The purpose of this siege is no longer to recapture the city, but to capture the Great Qi soldiers alive, so as to force the Great Qi to take the antidote and replace them.
Xie Jingchen said this, and the Marquis of Dongxiang and the prince knew.
But they couldn't stop Nanliang from capturing the Great Qi soldiers alive on the battlefield.
But if you want to exchange the lives of the Great Qi soldiers for the antidote, then you think things are too simple.
The protector was waiting for the antidote in the tent, and he was about to be driven crazy.
The officers and soldiers ran in and said, "General, Daqi does not agree to exchange the antidote for prisoners, and wants us to release the Daqi soldiers and give another 100,000 taels of silver." ”
The Protector's face was as cold as if he had been frozen by ice.
But it was useless for him to get angry again.
It's not negotiable.
If he didn't do it, then he and several other generals would bury the captured soldiers of Daqi.
They are the heroes of Daqi, who died for Daqi and died as they deserved.
Controlled by others, there is nothing to be done, and the molars of the protector are loose.
But what could he do?
His life is his own, Daqi doesn't care, can he not care?
"Give them 100,000 taels!"
