Chapter 26 Counting is Counting
Xie Hanci walked to Jing Yu's tent, and the soldiers stationed outside his tent were also talking about what happened at noon.
The soldier on the left danced and said, "I was at the back of the line, but I heard that the Yin soldier had cut off one hundred and eighty heads and hung them on the flag." ”
The soldier on the right scratched his head, a little surprised: "One hundred and eighty? Can the flag be hung on it? ”
The soldier on the left said noncommittally: "Oh, Xiao Yi, you are still young and ignorant. Normal definitely can't hang up, but he's a ghost and can cast spells. Let me tell you, this place is evil, and you may not meet anything if you go down! ”
Seeing Xie Hanci walking to the tent with the food box, the soldier on the left had the intention to tease him, and stepped forward and stretched out his hand to open the food box: "Yo, the little mute who looks like white tofu has come to deliver food again, what is it today?" ”
"Aru! Don't be like this, people are in a hurry to send food to the prince, don't embarrass him. Xiao Yi slapped the man's hand away, and said to Xie Hanci, "Come in." ”
Xie Hanci hugged his fists at him to express his gratitude, and walked into the tent quickly.
"Lord Shizi, when will your little imperial uncle come back, now rumors are spreading, and there are all kinds of things." Xie Hanci said and put the food box heavily on the desk.
Jing Yu didn't care: "Doesn't it mean that the undead are haunted at noon, and a yin soldier who can blow a trumpet without a head comes out of thin air, and he also hangs three hundred heads on the military flag to demonstrate?" ”
Xie Hanci exclaimed: "Three hundred, I heard one hundred and eighty just now." Disrespectful and disrespectful, it seems that you are still well-informed, and you have passed on seven or eight hands. ”
Jing Yu waved the folding fan: "I'm ashamed, it's just that I've been in the imperial city for a few more years, and I've grown a little bit of my ability to listen to the roots of the wall." ”
Xie Hanci opened the food box, and the bottom layer was not food, but a package of kraft paper, and some white powder was stained on it.
"What is this?" Jing Yu dipped his fingers and just touched the tip of his nose and sniffed it. Xie Hanci hurriedly slapped his hand away: "Why do you send everything to your mouth, in case it's poison?" ”
Hearing this, Jing Yu hurriedly went to wash his hands, wiped and wiped it with a handkerchief, and looked innocent, "How could I have thought that you were going to poison me, but since this thing is really not as toxic as the 'Curling Zhen' you made." ”
Xie Hanci rolled his eyes, took out a bowl filled with water, shook all the powder into the bowl, and inserted a silver needle into it.
Jing Yu stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the water bowl and said: "This shouldn't be poison, but it can't be generalized, some poisons are colorless and tasteless, and silver needles can't be tried." In addition, realgar, which is non-toxic in itself, will also change color when it encounters silver.
Xie Hanci was a little incredulous, "It's okay, Lord Shizi, I didn't expect you to be an expert in drug detection!" ”
Jing Yu was praised by her, but scratched her head a little embarrassed.
"I have also seen a lot in the palace, three years ago during the Double Ninth Festival, Concubine Ying poured a cup of realgar wine for the sage, and when she bent over, the silver hairpin fell into the wine jug, and the hairpin turned out to be black when she was fished out. The queen was startled, smashed the wine glass, and almost sent Ying Concubine into the Severe Punishment Division, but fortunately, the imperial doctor came in time, saying that this silver will also turn black when it meets male yellow. ”
Xie Hanci took a deep breath and sighed that this concubine is not something that ordinary people can do, and she will lose her head if she is not careful. Jing Yu changed his words and asked, "But what is this?" Where did you get that? ”
"This is what I picked up from the wagon with the bucket. Today in the back kitchen, I heard a few people say that the water quality in this valley is not good, and the water I drank in the past two days is astringent, so I found a bucket to see, and there is really white precipitation under the bucket. ”
"You suspect that someone added this to the water, but it is certainly not poison, otherwise everyone will die if they drink it, and it will not be your turn to ask. Could it be a hallucinogenic drug? Drink this so you see the soldier's ghost? ”
Jing Yu touched his chin and said his guess, but Xie Hanci disagreed, "The water in my bag is still loaded before departure, but I also saw the headless soldier, so it's not an illusion." ”
Jing Yu kept pacing in the tent, "No, this water must not be able to be drunk anymore, but now there are rumors everywhere, and the army's morale is unstable, if you order everyone to pour out the water at this time, it will make people think more." ”
Xie Hanci thought for a while, and his eyes flashed, "The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, so it's better to plan it." ”
After Xie Han left, Jing Yu's heart was still up and down, and a pair of clear apricot eyes were full of determination at the moment.
He is different from Xie Hanci, since he was a child, he has been used to seeing death-and-death battles in the palace.
Killing chickens and monkeys is not a good way for these outlaws. There is still a long way to go, and you can't leave trouble now, and the only way is to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
The sun had set outside the tent, and the mountains in the distance were dyed a layer of orange, and there was not much time left. He glanced at the food box thrown on the table, and had a plan in his heart.
At this time, Xie Yuan was looking at the letters sent from home in the tent, and he had a headache.
Shen Shuyi said in the letter that Xie Hanci also secretly followed, and hid in the army.
But in this team, not counting the rough and miscellaneous servants who accompany the army, there are 5,000 soldiers alone, where will she be a girl? Now that there is still a story about the Revenant Soldier, where is she and is she safe?
Xie Yuan was distressed, and Jing Yu's voice sounded outside the tent, "Lord Xie, the chef I found in Shuzhou City this time is very good, and I will send you some food to try." ”
After a pillar of incense, Xie Yuan's face was solemn, and his eyebrows were tightly twisted together, weighing the pros and cons back and forth in his heart.
The prince of England analyzed it well, but the plan was too risky, and the daughter still doesn't know where she is, once the plan is implemented, will it hurt her?
Xie Yuan was in a dilemma for a while, he subconsciously opened the food brought by Jing Yu, and his eyes immediately stopped at the roasted steamed bun slices with kimchi jar water.
"Shizi, these two dishes...... Isn't it stuffed qiongye and curling Jane? ”
Jing Yu nodded, put on a smiling face and said, "Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father, Lord Xie is usually very good." ”
Xie Yuan arched his hand, "Is she okay?" Did you cause trouble for the son? ”
Jing Yu shook her head and said: "She's fine, now the kitchen is helping, and she found out that someone was drugged in the bucket." It's just that it's best to keep her in a safe place before the plan begins. Xiao Xie has a stubborn personality, and he may not listen to my words. ”
Xie Yuan slapped the table, "It's against her, usually I rely on her in everything with her mother, so I can develop this temperament for her." Don't worry, I'll tie her up in a while. ”
At that time, there were only a dozen soldiers on duty in the entire barracks, and there was a dull snoring sound everywhere, which made people drowsy.
"Alu, you said that so many brothers on duty died last night, why are there only a few of us left tonight? Aren't you afraid of someone sneaking up? ”
"Xiao Yi, you can't always see the crux of the problem. Although Lord Xie has decided hundreds of cases in Shuzhou City, he is not a military general, how can he know this? Not to mention the prince of England, the capital is a gentleman, let's pray that King Ning will come back soon. ”
"What people!"
At the back of the tent appeared a masked man wearing a suit of armor, but the style was different from ordinary armor, and several people had never seen it before.
When this man saw that he had been discovered, instead of fleeing, he straightened up and did not retreat. The mask on its face was engraved with strange totems, which were sometimes clear and sometimes blurry in the light of the fire, making it even more terrifying and hideous.
"Who the hell are you? Stop it! If you don't stop, I'll shoot arrows at you. ”
Ah Lu watched the person in front of him approach step by step, reached for the quiver behind him, and just touched an arrow, but his hand was suddenly buckled, and his neck obviously felt a cold object against his throat.
"Xiao B! Why? Aluke's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I'm sorry, Brother Lil. My sister-in-law's shoes were soft, and if I hadn't died, I would have taken care of her. I'll make amends to you when I go down!" As he spoke, he strained his wrist, and blood ran down the collar and ticked down the upper of his shoe.
The rest of the people were also eliminated at the same time, and the masked man shot cleanly, all of them sealed his throat with a knife, and for a while, only Xiao Yi was left in the entire patrol.
"Hurry up, the strength of the medicine will pass in a while." The masked man urged impatiently. Xiao Yi's hand kept trembling, he covered Ah Lu's eyes with his other hand, and whispered: "Success or failure, I will only do this once." Don't forget what you promised me, or I won't let you go. ”
They walked all the way to King Ning's tent, and occasionally encountered soldiers who got up at night, and before they could make a sound, their throats were neatly cut.
"Lao Jia, isn't your medicine strong enough, why are there so many people who come up to relieve it?" One of the masked men complained.
"This big bag is all poured into the bucket, and if you don't fall asleep, you don't drink water. What else can I do, I can't put water in people's mouths. Besides, just now, none of the people in this tent have been awakened, and you still say that the medicine is insufficient? ”
"Okay, don't make any noise, everything is here, let's do it." As he spoke, Xiao Yi picked up the door curtain of the tent with the tip of his knife, made a gesture, and motioned for a few people to go in.
But when everyone entered the tent, they found that there was nothing in it except for a pillar, and there were no cages, baggage, desks, and tea tables.
According to Ma Fu, what can prove General Kunyu's innocence is in the hands of King Ning, who originally pointed to rummaging through his tent tonight, but now in this tent, all that can be turned over is the dirt under his feet.
The masked man grabbed Xiao Yi by the collar and yelled, "What are you kidding about? Lao Tzu finally opened it for King Ning, whether this tent was his! ”
Xiao Yi pushed him away and said hurriedly: "This is King Ning's tent, how can I not even be able to distinguish his tent when I patrol every day." I also pointed to you to treat my wife, how could I have the heart to joke with you. ”
"And where's his stuff? He doesn't even have a fucking bed, and he feels that you Ning Wang practices miracle skills and sleeps on a rope every night? ”
Xiao Yi thought about taking them to other tents to try their luck, but before he could speak, he suddenly heard a strange noise outside the tent.
"Uhh
A few flaming arrows hit the top of the tent, and the flames went down the curtains, and before a few people could react, the whole tent was set on fire.
