Chapter 16: Dark Waves
The beautiful woman's face suddenly turned happy.
The sachet she was wearing contained a specially blended medicine from the Black Clothes Society, and the aroma she emitted was toxic.
However, this poison is not the kind of poison that occurs quickly, but the kind that accumulates chronic poison.
Generally, if the accumulation exceeds seven days, the toxins accumulated in the body will attack violently, so that the poisoned person's body will become weak in just a few days, and finally the qi and blood will decay, and the infection will be seriously ill and die.
Basically, she would come to serve Zhao Hongming with four other beauties every morning, and there were many opportunities for contact.
This poison is just right, and it can kill people invisibly.
When the time comes, the Martial King in front of him will be infected with the wind cold or frightened to death, and it will not attract anyone's attention.
As long as King Wu dies, this Ying County will be in chaos for a while, and it will also be of great help to General Li Mu and them to send troops to attack the city.
Now that Zhao Hongming mentioned that he wanted to let her get closer, she really couldn't wait.
If you can stay with Zhao Hongming for a while, you can make Zhao Hongming's body accumulate more toxicity and make the poison attack more violent.
As soon as she thought of this, the beautiful woman smiled lightly, twisted her waist and walked in front of Zhao Hongming.
She looked at Zhao Hongming with affection in her charming eyes, and said cowardly: "Your Highness." ”
At this time, the beautiful woman's whole body smelled of a mature woman.
Any man who is afraid of it will have the urge to think of Cao Pi.
However, Zhao Hongming knew that this beautiful woman had hidden evil intentions, and he was not carried away by her beauty, and quickly calmed himself down.
Without a trace, he took a deep breath, intending to do what he wanted, and said happily, "Come, sit on the king's lap." ”
The beautiful woman bit her lip, revealing a gesture of wanting to refuse and welcome, holding Zhao Hongming's psychology.
After a few breaths, seeing that the heat was about the same, she lowered her head and sat on Zhao Hongming's lap shyly.
Zhao Hongming was not polite, hugged her waist, took a deep breath and said, "What are you wearing today, why does it smell so good?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, the slave maid is wearing a sachet today." The beautiful woman untied the sachet hanging on her body and said, "Your Highness, look. ”
While speaking, the beautiful woman also put the sachet close to the tip of Zhao Hongming's nose and let him smell it carefully.
Zhao Hongming pretended not to know, put the sachet between his nose, took a deep breath, and showed an intoxicated expression.
"It's a really refreshing smell. You, really well-intentioned, have successfully attracted the attention of this king with this thing. ”
The beautiful woman leaned into Zhao Hongming's arms, and said tenderly: "Your Highness, the slave maid can do anything for His Highness, and I hope that His Highness will give the slave and maid the opportunity to serve you." ”
"Now there are a lot of things in this king, and it's not okay." Zhao Hongming patted the petals of her buttocks, and said with a smile: "After some time, I will not let you go." ”
The beautiful woman obviously didn't understand Zhao Hongming's pun, and thought that he was going to fight with him for 300 rounds.
She was as soft as cotton and said: "I hope Your Highness will be lighter when the time comes, and the slave and maid will not be able to bear it." ”
Outside the door, Gao Yanshi shouted, "Your Highness? ”
"What?"
"It's time for breakfast."
Zhao Hongming pinched the beautiful woman's chin and said meaningfully, "Go down." ”
The beautiful woman stood up from Zhao Hongming's lap and gave a blessing: "The slave and maid are retired." ”
"Wait a minute. Your sachets. ”
Zhao Hongming threw the sachet beside him, and the beautiful woman grabbed the sachet very quickly.
"Your Highness." The beautiful woman bowed, then exited the room.
After the beautiful woman left, Zhao Hongming's face quickly turned cold: "I didn't expect to be a martial artist." ”
Just now, he found that this beautiful woman had some martial arts skills, but she hid it relatively deeply.
He snapped his hand, and a blank piece of paper flew into his hand.
Zhao Hongming held the white paper, opened his right hand, and poured out some unknown medicinal materials and black particles from it.
This is part of the filling that I took out of the sachet just now, taking advantage of the opportunity to chat with the beautiful woman.
Zhao Hongming folded the medicinal herbs into square flakes with paper and shouted, "Gao Yanshi." ”
"The minions are here." Gao Yanshi lowered his head and walked to Zhao Hongming's side.
Zhao Hongming handed the folded square piece to Gao Yanshi and said: "Let the people below check it, what kind of poison is this, remember not to alarm too many people." ”
Gao Yanshi caught it with both hands and said solemnly: "The slave only knew." ”
……
Wei Guoying County borders the Zhao border with a hilly area through which a river meanders.
"Appeal ......"
Five people and five horses appeared on an unknown hillside, and they were all dressed as Zhao people.
One of them rode on horseback, pointed not far away, and said, "General, after crossing this river, there is the boundary of Ying County in front of you." This river is a tributary of the Ying River, which looks wide but is not deep. The last general tried it, and the deepest part was almost below his knee. Some of the baggage may be a bit of a hassle, but everyone can get through it. ”
"As long as you cross this river, you can go twenty miles further to Hexi City, Yingjun."
Among the five, a middle-aged man dressed in a treasure armor held a horsewhip in his hand, and his legs clamped the horse's belly, driving the horse to take two steps forward.
He stared into the distance, his gaze was as sharp as an eagle: "Have you observed the hydrology here, and will the river rise in summer?" How much does the river rise on a rainy day? ”
"This ......" The man who was asked lowered his head and said ashamedly: "I don't know, I will go and let people find out as soon as I go back today." ”
"You check carefully, what are the road conditions from here to Heyin, and is there a martial artist from Ying County patrolling it? If so, see how you can avoid it. ”
"Yes."
Another man with a full face and a beard among the five people took two steps forward and asked, "General, do you really plan to sneak attack Yingjun as soon as King Wu arrives?" ”
The man in the treasure armor said: "Judging from the news known in Luling City, they mostly thought that I would use troops after the autumn, in this case, I might as well attack it by surprise." It just so happened that the army was almost raised, and it was just a matter of time. ”
"But it's a bit immoral for us to go to war like this."
The man in the treasure armor said in a fluttering tone: "When any of you went to investigate the intelligence, bring a few Zhao soldiers over, and then kill them in the territory of Ying County, this morality will be established." ”
The four people behind him immediately reacted, and the general was trying to set up a blame.
"Now that the etiquette and music have collapsed, the capable people in the world live in it, and they don't have to care about the rules and regulations of the past."
The other four people bowed their hands one after another: "The last will be taught." ”
……
In the evening, Gao Yanshi hurried back from outside the palace and entered the specially designed cellar of Zhao Hongming.
The candles hanging on the walls emit a faint glow, banishing the darkness in the cellar.
As soon as Gao Yanshi walked in, he saw a human monster chained in a corner, curled up in a ball, as if he had been greatly hit and was depressed.
In front of the humanoid monster, there stood a naked man with his upper body, and his whole body was constantly flashing with electric arcs, making a crackling explosion.
Gao Yanshi walked up to the man and said, "Your Highness, the medicinal materials you asked the servants to check in the morning have now been clarified. ”
"Oh? What kind of poison is it? ”
Gao Yanshi said: "It is a chronic poison specially prepared by the Black Clothes Society, which can weaken the physique of the poisoned person and cause him to die of illness. ”
Zhao Hongming exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, took off the robe hanging on the wall and said, "Then how long does it take from poisoning to death?" ”
"Generally, it takes seven days to be poisoned, and it takes eight days to die of reinfection after poisoning."
"That means it will take up to fifteen days?"
"According to the different physique of the poisoned person, the time of poisoning death varies from long to short, but basically it is about 15 days." Gao Yanshi continued: "The greatest thing about this kind of poison is that it kills people invisibly. The poisoned people are all sick and die, and there is no suspicion. ”
Zhao Hongming muttered: "Fifteen days ......"
It's not hard to imagine what would have happened to Ying County if he died.
After all, no matter how unfavored he is on the surface, no matter how low his cultivation is, he is still a royal family, representing the face of the royal family.
Now the royal power of Wei has not been completely hollowed out.
Therefore, as long as he dies, Daliang will definitely send someone to investigate and hold him accountable, and Yingjun will definitely conduct a large-scale investigation, involving many people.
This will undoubtedly make the chaos in Yingjun become chaotic, and there is no time to take care of the outside.
At this moment, his brain was racing.
There is no doubt that this is the Black Clothes Society, and the Black Clothes Society is spying on intelligence for Zhao Guo and Haoran Sect.
In other words, he stood in the opponent's position, and if he died, he would not let go of this opportunity no matter what, and sent troops to attack Yingjun in advance.
If they did this, it also meant that Zhao Guo Li Mu's attack plan might have been advanced, which was different from their prediction.
However, the soldiers are also treacherous. It's true or false in it, it's normal.
Zhao Hongming believed his instincts and ordered: "Gao Yanshi, immediately invite Zhang Yi and Wu Qi to go to the Taihe Palace to see the king, and discuss the existing important matters without a moment's delay." ”
Seeing Zhao Hongming's unusually serious appearance, Gao Yanshi realized that this matter might not be small, so he hurriedly agreed and trotted out directly.
His efficiency was very high, and it didn't take long for Wu Qi and Zhang Yi to be brought into the Taihe Palace.
Zhao Hongming went straight to the point and revealed the news that Zhao Guo Li Mu might attack the city in advance to the two of them.
After getting this news, the two instantly had a sense of crisis.
"General Wu, how is the expansion of Wei Wushu's army now?"
Wu Qi said: "Back to Your Highness, the number of Wei Wushu has expanded to 30,000 people, all of whom are martial artists, and everyone is full of armor. ”
"Well done." Zhao Hongming continued to ask: "Gao Yanshi investigated from Zhao State, this time Zhao State Li Mu may bring an army of 180,000, I don't know if Wei Wushu can withstand it?" ”
Wu Qi said with a confident face: "Your Highness, rest assured, judging from the results of the current training, Wei Wushu can be one enemy and five, even if we face the 180,000 army of Zhao State and occupy the advantage of Ying County, we still have a great chance of winning." ”
As soon as the conversation changed, Wu Qi said again: "However, this time it involves the war between the two countries, and it is not a simple local battle, and my subordinates still suggest that His Highness explain the situation to His Majesty today and seek the assistance of the Eastern Army." Otherwise, if Li Mu bypasses Yingjun, we will be vulnerable to the enemy. ”
Zhang Yi agreed: "General Wu is reasonable, His Highness should enlist the assistance and support of the Eastern Army, if we can defend against the enemy, our pressure will be much less." The odds will also be greater. ”
"You still need to be hard to strike iron, and you have to think about what to do if the Eastern Army doesn't have any support."
Zhao Hongming stood up and ordered in a dignified tone: "Wu Qi." ”
"The end will be."
"With the 15th day as the deadline, we are ready to open the allocation and go to the border of Ying County to visit."
Wu Qi's expression was solemn, and he commanded: "The last general will obey the order." ”
"Zhang Yi."
"The grass people are here."
"This king has ordered you to be the logistics chief Sima, in charge of the food and grass affairs of the enemy this time."
"Grass People's Command."
"Let's get ready."
"Yes."
Under Zhao Hongming's will, the entire various departments and institutions of Ying County were like a sophisticated machine, and they were running rapidly.
For a while, the entire Ying County became turbulent.
And in the next few days, the beautiful woman will deliberately approach Zhao Hongming every day.
Zhao Hongming also saw through it, and took the initiative to cooperate with the beautiful woman's actions, which made her relax her vigilance.
At the same time, in the Imperial Palace of the Great Liang.
Emperor Jian'an summoned many ministers, including Xiao Boling, the right secretary of the middle book, Hong Daowen, the left secretary of the middle book, Yu Hezheng, the secretary of the military department, and Chen Mou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and many other core officials gathered in the Qianqing Palace.
After these ministers arrived, Emperor Jian'an spoke: "You all already know, right? The spies at the border came to report that Zhao Guo wanted to start another war and wanted to attack my Great Wei Frontier, I don't know what you Aiqing think? ”
Xiao Boling, the right of the Chinese book, as the prime minister, took the initiative to say: "Zhao Guoguo is big but not strong, but his heart is ambitious. Last time, the alliance with Chu and Han was secretly put together by us, and we must be dissatisfied, and this time the army will be raised again is also expected by His Majesty. As early as a month ago, we had already asked the Eastern Army to secretly recruit troops, and the Eastern Army could defend against it. ”
"However, the martial king of Gangying County has sent news that Li Mu of Zhao State may be able to send troops in about ten days." Emperor Jian'an frowned and said: "Ying County is a strategic place in the eastern part of my Wei Kingdom, once it is lost, it will be difficult to keep Heyuan County, in this case, I am still a little uneasy. ”
"Ten days?"
The ministers above the court looked at each other, obviously they didn't expect Li Mu to be so soon.
Emperor Jian'an said: "I plan to transfer some more men, grains and grass from the rest of the martial arts forces to support the Martial King, I wonder if Aiqing thinks it is feasible?" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Chen Mou, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was the first to stand up and say: "Since Yingjun was divided into fiefdoms, the defense focus of the Eastern Army is not here, and Yingjun is a strategic location in the eastern part of Wei as His Majesty said. ”
The rest of the people have not seen Emperor Jian'an's selfishness, he wants to use this to supplement the strength of King Wu.
They all know that King Wu does not have the power of a concubine, and he is relatively weak, and he is not very outstanding among many princes.
But I heard that now that King Wu has gained a firm foothold in Yingjun, His Majesty is impressed by King Wu and has high hopes, and now that the position of the crown prince is hanging high, maybe His Majesty has a new idea.
Everyone in the court couldn't help but think about it, and their thoughts were different, and they all expressed their positions after a while.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"Okay." Emperor Jian'an said: "Gonggong Gao, the proposed decree." ”
