Chapter 137 Mutiny in the barracks
After returning to the military tent, Li Shu'er washed his hands and burned incense, and after worshipping Zhong Kui's statue, he was about to say something to Zhu Xiwon, when he saw that the staff who had gone to boil medicine before came back with a group of personal soldiers, and their faces were full of smoke and dust, and they looked embarrassed.
"Back to the military commander, according to the arrangement of the old immortals, those Chinese medicines have been boiled, but I don't know what to do with them, please give me instructions." The staff member slapped Zhu Xiluo with one leg and said.
"Old immortal, look at ......" Zhu Xiluo looked at Uncle Li, meaning that you have an idea.
Uncle Li nodded and said, "Give each person a bowl of those boiled Chinese medicines, and let all the soldiers drink them...... Wait, I'd better take a look at the color of the medicine first. ”
Seeing that Li Shu'er was going to see the brewing of the medicine, the staff was about to say something to stop him, but Li Shu'er had already taken a step out, and Zhu Xiluo also went out, and the staff didn't dare to stop him anymore, so he had to lose his eyes to a few of his own soldiers behind him, and he followed.
Under the guidance of Zhu Xiwon, Uncle Li came to the kitchen made of wood, and saw that in the spacious kitchen, there were several large cauldrons sitting on the stove made of yellow clay, and the pots were covered in white gas, shrouding the entire kitchen in mist.
Uncle Li groped his way to the stove, looked into the pot with a strong medicinal fragrance, and saw that the pot was full of orange thick liquid, and his face first showed a satisfied smile, and he was about to speak, when suddenly his nose moved a few times, his face changed, and he looked at Zhu Xiluo and said, "No, this medicine is wrong!" ”
"What's going on?" Seeing the sudden change in Uncle Li'er's complexion, Zhu Xiluo didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly asked.
"The medicinal herbs boiled in this pot are missing a few key flavors, although they look the same as the normal medicine, but they can only hide it from those who are not familiar with this medicine, but they can't hide it from the real person, by the way, what about your staff who went to buy medicine?" Uncle Li briefly explained that there was a problem with the medicine in the pot, and wanted to call the staff who was in charge of purchasing medicinal materials to come and ask about the situation, to see if he had been deceived by some unscrupulous Chinese medicine shop.
The soldiers who didn't want to follow Zhu Xiwon's side passed the orders one by one, and after a long time, the staff who had never left Zhu Xiluo disappeared.
"Eh, where did this old master go, didn't he get tired all the way and go back to his tent and fall asleep?" Zhu Xifu muttered to himself with some puzzlement.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple," Uncle Li sneered, "Although the medicinal materials in this pot are missing a few key flavors, the appearance, color, and smell that can be boiled are enough to confuse the truth, if it weren't for the pharmacology of this medicine by the real person, I am afraid that it will never be able to see that there is a fake in it, so it can be seen that the person who made this fake medicine is very familiar with the pharmacology and the recipe for removing corpse poison, so that he can replace the key medicinal materials with other medicinal materials by stealing beams and changing pillars, and can also make the appearance of the boiled medicine unchanged, trying to get through the test in confusion, So that the soldiers who drink the medicine can't get rid of the corpse poison on their bodies, it can be seen that this person must be a master who is proficient in the art of yin and yang, Zhu Junshuai, since there are such masters in your military camp, why haven't you mentioned it to the real person? ”
Seeing Uncle Li looking at himself coldly with a pair of cold eyes, Zhu Xiwan was embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "Old immortals, don't get me wrong, if there are such characters in my military camp, where will those Yin soldiers be troubled?" It's just that this medicinal herb was dropped, and Xi Wonton really doesn't know why, but he only needs to find the golden bridge and ask. ”
"Golden Entanglement?" Only then did Li Shu'er know that the name of the staff member was Jin Tangqiao, and he couldn't help but sneer, "He clearly hinted that he was a golden cicada shelling again, this time I'm afraid that he has already twisted the golden lock and walked away from the dragon, where will he wait for you to find him?" ”
Where did Zhu Xiluo believe it, he just shouted to his soldiers to find the golden bridge, and the result was of course in vain.
Zhu Xiluo still didn't believe it, and went to the tent of the golden winding bridge in person, only to see that the tent was a mess, and the golden winding bridge did not know where to go.
"Don't say it's you, it's a real person, you were deceived by that guy, it can be seen that this person is scheming, his methods are poisonous, and he is also a character." Uncle Li sighed, and then said, "I just don't know what this golden bridge wants to do when it mixes into your camp?" By the way, when did he come to you? ”
Zhu Xiwan was stunned for a moment: "He was a down-and-out talent in Shanxi, this time I followed Lin Tianguan's Northern Expedition, when the soldiers passed through Shanxi, this person took the initiative to defect to me, offering a strategy against the enemy, the old fairy also knows, in addition to those old brothers who came out of Guangxi, the rest of the soldiers in my military camp are all the way to the twisted army and homeless people, few people who know how to break words, I see that his writing is acceptable, I want to stay by my side to be a secretary, thank you Kumon Tang Bao, I don't want him to not only be able to deal with official documents, but also use yarrow to calculate hexagrams, predict the military situation, This journey is really a last resort, and I have become my confidant, how do I know that there is such a thing today, it is really inexplicable. ”
Zhu Xiwan was talking to Uncle Li, when he saw an adjutant running in panting, and he didn't have time to use his military strength, so he shouted angrily: "Military commander, it's not good, there has been a mutiny in the Xinzi camp, and those displaced people recruited by Shanxi have cut down our brothers who are guarding the camp, and they have driven dozens of carts out of the barracks." ”
"What?" Zhu Xiluo heard the fire in his eyes, and he couldn't care about Uncle Li, so he roared: "Gather the brothers in the old camp and follow me to quell the rebellion!" ”
Then, Zhu Xiluo rode on the war horse pulled by his own soldiers, holding a long steel-filled knife, and with the elite soldiers of the Shanzi Battalion and the Biaozi Battalion who had just arrived from the construction site and some of them still holding hammers and pickaxes, they chased in the direction of the mutinous homeless people fleeing.
At this time, seeing that the soldiers under their command were rushing to the camp, Yang Yi and Wei Ergou knew that something must have happened, and they also followed.
As he was running, Wei Ergou suddenly asked, "Uncle, where is the Peach Wood Demon?" ”
"I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for her to walk around the barracks as a girl, so let her stay in the military tent and burn incense and pray for Zhong Kui." Uncle Li ran vigorously at his feet, answering in his mouth.
That Zhu Xiluo is riding a horse, and the soldiers under his command are Guangxi soldiers known as iron feet, and they are extremely fast, Rao is Li Shu'er, Yang Yi, and Wei Ergou ran with dry mouth and cramps, and they hurried slowly, but they were still left far behind by those soldiers.
When they caught up with Zhu Xiwon's troops, they saw that those soldiers were fighting with a group of homeless people dressed in various clothes and with black flame patterns on their eyebrows.
Next to the group of homeless people, there were still three or four horse-drawn carts, and the horses that drove them had long since disappeared, and the wooden boxes on the carriages were scattered on the ground, and some of the boxes were broken, revealing the white silver inside.
