Chapter 383 383 Poison(1/2)
The three deputy commanders of the Imperial City Army set up a trap to embarrass the two female generals.
As a result, Tian Qiong was suppressed by Miao Bacai's force, but Shen Tu and Zhai Qinbao, who wanted to "outwit", were counterattacked by Li Yan, and fell into a dilemma.
The two deputy commanders are in a dilemma right now.
To test Li Yan, you need to use a maze.
It's nothing at first, but the maze must be exactly the same as the actual city, so it will be difficult... They have quietly changed the terrain of Kaifeng, and set up at least a few small paths or secret roads in each area. If Li Yan really can carry it out of Kaifeng City, Wouldn’t it be misleading once the topographic map is displayed? But if it is not displayed, and compared with the actual terrain, it will be misleading... Not only is Ouyang Shao Zheng’s power of attack useless, he may have to go back. Endorsement, what should I do?
Shen Tu and Zhai Qinbao exchanged glances - the only way now is to use the area where the palace is located.
Because that piece is the only one that has not been touched.
The reason why we don't move near the palace is that the control is very strict. There are many palace informants and imperial guards nearby, so it will be troublesome if they are found out.
On the other hand, although these three people want to cause harm, they are not stupid. If something happens in the palace, it will not be good for them at all.
After thinking about it, the two of them exchanged glances and whispered a few words to their subordinate, who then led a team of people into the maze to renovate it.
On the city tower, everyone who looked down at the maze formation could roughly see the terrain near the palace.
Zhan Zhao put his hands on the top of the city wall and looked at it, and found that he was not a road addict when looking down from a high place... After all, he usually went straight to the house when he couldn't find the way. From this perspective, the cat could also be a guide.
"It seems that the area around the imperial city has not changed." Bai Yutang said.
Zhe Ying and Zi Ying both curled their lips - if you dare to change your mind, your life will be in jeopardy.
"But if we don't change, the advantage will be gone." Lin Yehuo said, "Aren't those two just taking advantage of the fact that they have changed their ways and are having fun?"
"There should be no chance of winning whether you change or not." Fang Jingxiao shook her head, "Shen Tu is the more capable of the three of them. His martial arts skills are not bad, and he is quite smart. But there is a problem... I used to talk to He once dealt with a person who thought very highly of himself, was blindly confident, and looked down on others."
"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. If you don't take care of this character, you will suffer big losses in the future and delay things." Lu Yuelan also felt that the three Imperial Army soldiers needed to be taken care of.
"Li Yan and Miao Bacai." Fang Jingxiao said, "In addition to being extremely capable generals, these two have another point that many people may have overlooked."
Everyone looked at him—what was overlooked?
Fang Jingxiao said, "These two people are very dangerous in themselves."
"Danger..." Everyone thought about this word for a while.
"Some people, no matter how high or ferocious their martial arts skills are, the birds are not afraid of them. Some people are obviously friendly and harmless, but the birds are very scared. This is actually just an instinct... just like fish are afraid of cats. , insects are afraid of birds, and birds are afraid of snakes.”
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were both stunned, and suddenly thought of the word Tianzun used to describe Yu Xiaoyuan, the master of Blackwater Palace - snake and scorpion.
There is nothing wrong with snakes and scorpions, it is the people who provoke them who are wrong.
"These two girls."
The White Ghost King on the side also smiled slightly. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and waved to the two birds, the glutinous rice dumpling and the black rice dumpling, which were sitting on the shoulders of the fourth son.
The two little birds stared at him, fluttering their feathers as if shivering, and instantly became well-behaved.
"They are the same kind of people." The White Ghost King said slowly, "They are the same as me, Heishui, Yu Xiaoyuan..."
Bai Yutang thought for a while and asked his uncle, "Is it because the internal force is poisonous?"
Yao Changtian nodded, "Well, just like snakes and scorpions, they are born with poison... You know, poisonous and non-poisonous ones think about things differently."
Everyone looked at Yao Changtian, "different?"
Yao Changtian folded his arms and looked at the same people. But from the eyes of the two girls, he could see that the group opposite were just prey, and the prey were all the same. The difference was whether they were killed or released."
Everyone seemed puzzled.
Yao Changtian pursed his lips at Miao Bacai, "Everyone who called her Gu Po just now was planted by her."
Everyone was shocked.
"What is a poisonous seed?" Shen Yuanchen was curious.
"They are the eggs of Gu insects." Xiao Sizi said, "Many Gu insects are in the dual form of Cordyceps sinensis. Before hatching, they look like seeds. Some are as big as longan, and some are as small as dandelion seeds.
Yes, just a hair."
Everyone was surprised. Miao Bacai had poisoned the Imperial City Army?
"Voodoo seeds are different from voodoo worms." Xiao Sizi explained, "If the voodoo seeds are not stimulated to grow, it will be like a hair stuck to the body. It will fall off after a while."
"What if it's triggered?" Zhan Zhao asked, grabbing Bai Yutang who was retreating beside him.
"Then it depends on what kind of poison it is." Xiao Sizi said quietly, "Some poisons can save lives, and some poisons can kill people."
The White Ghost King sneered, "So the people of the Central Plains have no taboos, and they dare to call Gu Po in front of their faces. When our army in the southwest was the strongest, we didn't dare to offend the Gu people. These Imperial City soldiers are used to being pampered, why?
You know how dangerous it is for people who come out of the wilderness. Look at the current state of those soldiers and horses who have been to the southwest..."
Everyone followed the White Ghost King's eyes and saw that a group of people in the Imperial City Army were already standing far away, looking at the deputy commanders with sympathy and worry. They said that the state was indeed a bit like two birds.
Tuanzi looked at the White Ghost King.
"Is it so dangerous?!" Liangchen Meidu asked the fourth son, "Then Jin'er, you and your husband also raise Gu..."
The fourth boy shook his head, "My father and I only raise Gu insects to treat diseases. To truly control the Gu insects, one needs talent and a special physique! All the Gu insects raised by my father are from the emperor."
Directed by Gu, that is to say, controlling Gu insects requires a Gu King. And the real Gu farmer is himself a Gu King... This kind of physique is innate. The poisonous insects recognize that you are the most poisonous one, and they
I will obey your orders."
Everyone was amazed when they heard this.
Yao Changtian also said to Bai Yutang, "The kid who lives in your Bai Mansion also has the same physique. He just keeps a four-legged snake."
Zhan Zhao asked, "Wang Lin? Yes, he can also control insects..."
Fifth Master held his forehead straightly - can we stop talking about bugs?
…
Everyone above was discussing the internal strength of the two female generals.
Miao Bacai found a chair and sat down to rest for a while. Several Imperial City Army soldiers brought her refreshments.
From time to time, everyone paid attention to Miao Bacai, who was sitting there drinking tea and watching the excitement.
Yao Changtian smiled and said, "As I said, it's not their fault that snakes and scorpions are poisonous. As long as you don't provoke them, people won't bother to pay attention to you, let alone take the initiative to harm you."
Everyone scratched their heads - that's right.
Several children said that they must respect the two sisters even more in the future!
Seeing that something was wrong with Bai Yutang, Yao Changtian said again, "With the popsicle physique passed down from your ancestors and masters, no insect is willing to get close to you, don't worry."
Bai Yutang looked at his uncle - seriously?
Yao Changtian nodded, "Anyway, the southwest is hot and humid, and the extreme cold in the north is naturally incompatible..."
Everyone is looking at him - are you sure? Your sister was obviously kidnapped by Mr. Lu.
The White Ghost King sighed - that is an exception, my sister only cares about her face...
The fifth master speaks for his grandfather - he is obviously in good shape, personality and family background!
The White Ghost King made him amused - he had a good personality and he could say that...
As for Zheng Le, his heart suddenly hurt. The White Ghost King quickly held his chest and gave in - Okay, okay, everything will be fine!
Fifth Master stared at him for a while, then stretched out his hand to touch his chest.
The White Ghost King looked at him and seemed a little surprised.
Bai Yutang felt quite distressed, and felt that her grandmother was too strict, even saying that her brother-in-law was not good.
Turning around, he saw Zhan Zhao looking at him - have you begun to favor your uncle?
The fifth master shook his head - my master and the others always said that my grandpa never saw anyone to deal with them, so my uncle said that if he had a bad personality and his grandma would bully him, that wouldn't work either.
Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing.
On the side, the White Ghost King looked at his chest and felt quite proud - did you see that? There is someone who can take care of you!
…
Under the city tower, a formation has been set up in front of the maze.
Shen Tu took twenty of his cronies, as well as Zhai Qinbao, into the maze and stood at the entrance to the imperial city.
Li Yan smiled and joked, "Are you imitating someone who assassinated the king and killed the king? Then you have to win? If you lose...it will be the sin of confiscating your family and exterminating your clan."
Shen Tu was also embarrassed, but now they had a greater chance of winning. They often did this kind of drill to protect the emperor's retreat, and they had prepared several plans before, which were basically foolproof.
With the sound of a gong outside the city, the game began.
Shen Tu followed the best plan from previous drills, divided his troops into four groups, used the terrain, adopted a strategy of luring the enemy and misleading them, and quickly moved outward.
On the city tower, everyone nodded. The Imperial City Army was well trained, and Shen Tu’s thinking was quite clear, and he was commanding well...
But just when the twenty people were executing their tactics in an orderly manner and exiting the maze, suddenly...a thin layer of black mist rose up in the maze.
At the same time, fire appeared on the moving route of the four groups of people... After a while, a fire burned in the maze.
The black mist encircled the blue flames and ignited the wooden planks and dead grass on the main path. Moreover, the fire seemed to be poisonous, and the smell of the smoke was particularly choking.
Li Yan walked slowly outside the maze with her hands behind her back. The twenty soldiers behind her were dumbfounded.
To be continued...
