Chapter 329: Poisoning
Someone was killed in the barracks, and the whereabouts of the murderer are unknown, but fortunately, at this time, it was in the midst of a tense confrontation with the Hidden Kingdom, so everyone didn't talk too much, just as a signal that the other party was provoking. However, Feng Nianyu became a widow after the wedding night, which aroused the sympathy of many people for a while.
In the past few days, the emperor seems to be out of state, and he has been defeated by the Hidden Kingdom several times in a row. With such a favorable location, it should have won a big victory, which is why Jiangguo's current situation has become a little dangerous. Feng Huali heard the news, so he planned to go to see the emperor.
"My lord, the emperor is now meeting with other ministers, and it is inconvenient to meet."
Feng Huali stood outside and waited for an afternoon, until he saw several familiar ministers discussing something outside, and then he suddenly reacted. Every time he came to the emperor in the past few days, he always had something he couldn't meet, and he seemed to be hiding from himself.
Feng Huali frowned, I don't know what is wrong with the emperor, but I know that it is not a good thing to go on like this. So Feng Huali pushed Su San away, broke in without hesitation, and the guards who stopped her were pushed all the way to the inner hall, only to find that it was full of people.
The emperor was discussing military affairs with a circle of courtiers and generals around the topographical map, probably because it has always been difficult to defeat the hidden country in recent days, so it is necessary to discuss it for such a long time.
"Your Majesty, my lord, she has to come in......"
Yan Yu waved his hand and asked them to retreat, but he didn't let Feng Huali leave, but glanced at her lightly, and then threw himself into the discussion. Feng Huali coughed lightly, stepped forward and asked, "The emperor hasn't eaten all day today......
Yan Yu said, "No need, I'm not hungry." ”
Feng Hua flattened her mouth, but since everyone had no opinion on her existence, she didn't want to leave. Feng Huali had been standing by and listening, only to know that the Hidden Kingdom's troops stationed here were more than they had imagined. And now they have retreated to the deepest part of the Lost Butterfly Valley, where they are in a low position, but the mountain roads are rugged and the terrain is complicated, and now they have more people than Yan Yu's side, not only will it be difficult to exterminate them in a short time, but they may even be at a disadvantage if they drag it any longer.
Before I knew it, night was falling again, and it seemed that the situation was still not improving. Feng Huali lifted the curtain, and his cheeks were immediately ached by the cold wind, probably because he was in the valley, although it was almost the end of spring, the wind here was still very strong.
Feng Huali raised his finger and felt the wind pass between his fingers, but suddenly remembered something. Feng Huali hurriedly squeezed in front of those ministers and generals, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have thought of a way to deal with those people in the Hidden Kingdom." ”
Those generals seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and it was already very generous for her to listen to it next to her, but now it was a bit too much to force it in. They immediately attacked Feng Huali in a few words, probably looking down on her status as a woman.
Yan Yu glanced at her: "Say it." ”
Feng Huali glared at the most angry old stubborn: "The wind here is always blowing towards the valley, if you sprinkle some poisonous powder, you may poison them." ”
"It's nonsense."
"What does a woman understand, full of gibberish."
Yan Yu also said: "The wind is impermanent, who can guarantee that it will not suddenly blow back?" ”
Feng Huali nodded, and had to take a step back. After listening so bored for a while, it was time for dinner, Feng Huali originally planned to go out with the scattered ministers and generals, but was stopped by the emperor, saying that he wanted to serve him for dinner.
At the dinner table, the two looked at each other speechlessly, and Feng Huali honestly served him food and poured wine, after all, since Yan Yu said that he needed a maid to serve, she had become the new personal maid. If she can allow Fenghua to say the next sentence, her position is really said to be up and down.
"You don't eat?" Yan Yu only took two bites and asked.
"Yes." Feng Huali came back to his senses, and only then did he realize that the dishes and chopsticks he had prepared to entertain the guests were for himself, so he obediently sat down in that position. Yan Yu was so focused on food that he didn't look at Feng Hua at all.
Feng Huali was thinking about what the emperor had said to him, but recently, the emperor didn't say a word about those things, as if it hadn't happened at all, and Feng Huali had to pretend that he didn't remember anything. Although he was not shocked on the surface, Feng Huali was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Drinking the second glass of wine, when he raised the jug to pour the third glass of wine, Feng Huali's raised hand was blocked by Yan Yu. Yan Yu stared at her eyes tightly, and just as he was about to say something, the oil lamp suddenly blew out, and the tent fell into darkness for a moment.
Feng Hua was startled and wanted to stand up and light the oil lamp, in case someone took advantage of it. But because of the black light, Feng Huali tripped over a stool and fell to the ground all of a sudden, just as she was about to get up, she suddenly felt a person fall from the sky.
Yan Yu propped herself up on top of her, her eyes still very easy to make out in the dark. Feng Huali opened his lips, but he couldn't speak at all, and the two looked at each other like this, until Su San, who walked in in a hurry, lit the oil lamp.
"Why are you so careless, what should I do if the flask spills." Yan Yu said, lifting the wine jug that was almost poured out from Feng Hua's head, and then straightened up and sat back in his place with a slight support. Seeing Feng Huali fall to the ground, he asked, "Why don't you get up?" ”
Feng Huali hurriedly got up, she rubbed her hot cheeks and sat down, and suddenly the other party regretted what she thought and did. This is in the barracks, the emperor is busy with the war with the hidden country, how can he have the time to think about those idle things.
Yan Yu said: "The method you said just now may work. ”
"What?"
The people of the Hidden Kingdom are located downstream, and if they poison the water source, they may be able to hit them hard. Yan Yu asked, "Are you sure you can refine a deadly poison?" ”
"Nature." Feng Huali nodded, now that her internal strength has basically recovered, she planted a lot of medicinal materials in the spiritual sea, of course there will be no shortage of poisons, and Feng Huali is still completely sure of the deadly poison.
Yan Yu glanced at her and asked, "Do you like Qiu Feiyu?" ”
"What?" Feng Hua was stunned, she didn't expect this topic to turn so quickly, but she immediately shook her head. Qiu Feiyu had nothing to do with her before, and if it had to be now, it wouldn't be a friendly relationship. Thinking of Feng Nianyu's single-minded desire to avenge Su Nianyun, Feng Huali was a little melancholy for a while.
Seeing her expression, Yan Yu drank another glass of wine: "He died, are you sad?" ”
Feng Huali frowned and shook his head vigorously.
"Really?" Yan Yu's tone sounded a little unconvinced, because Feng Huali's contemplative appearance now looked like he was mourning Qiu Feiyu. At least before Qiu Feiyu died, Yan Yu had never seen her not in a state for so many days, so Yan Yu was a little unsure whether Qiu Feiyu's death was a good thing.
Feng Huali looked at him with clear eyes: "Qiu Feiyu and I have always been very innocent, the emperor must have misunderstood something...... Looking at his eyes, Feng Huali suddenly didn't dare to say the next words. These days, Feng Huali always seems to care about Yan Yu uncontrollably, she wants to say how she feels, but when she sees his indifferent face, she can only stop there.
"The slave and maid still have something to do, so let's go first."
After Feng Hua left, Su San hurriedly walked in. Su San knelt down facing the emperor's black face, the emperor seemed to be in a very bad mood, and he said coldly: "You're not lying to me?" ”
"Of course not," Su San leaned forward and whispered, "Lord Fang Caifeng's face is so red, he must also have feelings for the emperor." ”
"She really likes me the way I look?" Yan Yu glanced at him in disbelief, Yan Yu wanted to marry Feng Huali at the beginning, but it was self-defeating, making her drift away from her. Later, after listening to Su San's suggestion, he personally went to pester Feng Huali, although Yan Yu felt that this was very inconsistent with his identity and extremely absurd, but Su San swore that women like this, and Yan Yu still did it.
But this didn't make Feng Huali fascinated by the emperor, and Su San saw the problem. Feng Huali likes the indifferent emperor he has always seen, so the emperor only needs to be cold. And what Su San said at that time is exactly the same as what Su San said now: "The emperor can rest assured, in time, Lord Feng will definitely like the emperor." ”
Yan Yu glared at Su San helplessly, and then patted his temples lightly, he had been relying on a father-in-law who had never had experience to guide him on how to please beauties for so long. Fortunately, Feng Huali didn't like that Qiu Feiyu, if she fell in love with someone else, Yan Yu would definitely not let Su San go.
The plan to poison the water began the next day, and after a few days, the poisoning method really worked, and after a large number of deaths, the army of the Hidden Kingdom began to stop drinking the water here. The people of Jiangguo have been guarding outside, and from time to time they will send some people to sneak attack at night, so that they can't eat enough during the day and can't rest well at night. In the end, the ammunition ran out of food, and the people of the hidden country had to come out to fight to the death in the end.
But they haven't eaten for a few days, their numbers have dropped a lot, and their physical strength is almost exhausted. Those who can recruit are all under their command, and those who are loyal to the hidden country will be killed. At the same time, these people who recruited Anlai were strictly guarded, and once someone tried to betray the Jiangguo, they would cramp and peel their skin in front of the soldiers to set an example.
This battle was a very good start for the loss of 80,000 troops and horses of the Hidden Kingdom, and as long as the momentum continues and the cities that the Hidden Kingdom snatched from them one by one, it will no longer be a difficult task.
