Chapter 1139: The Truth About Poisoning (20)

A massacre lasted for a long time, and hundreds of Xiao Sabi's henchmen were killed.

After the massacre was over, Yelu Bawotai immediately ordered the soldiers of the Wolf Army to clean the site and collect the remains. The broken body was quickly cleaned up, but the blood on the grass was still there.

The petal-paved road that Princess Anguo walked through when she entered the arena became more conspicuous under the stain of blood, which made Yang Huairen have to sigh, beauty and cruelty may only be in a thought.

All the ministers came over to think of Yelu Bawotai to express their gratitude, praising him as a pillar of the country, with him, Daliao did not experience a catastrophe.

Yelu Bawotai is very modest, only saying that everyone has won the award, and as the king of the Southern Courtyard, he stands up when the country is in trouble, and it is the duty of a courtier.

But the more he said this, the more Yelu Yanxi seemed to be a waste.

When Yelu Hongji was poisoned, Yelu Yanxi was very irritable, and kept saying that he wanted to seek revenge on Xiao Sabi, which also showed a man's bloody nature.

It's a pity that when Xiao Sabi gave orders and watched the army pressing the border, Yelu Yanxi suddenly softened, not only was he bloodless, but he even groveled to Xiao Sabi, a rebel dog thief, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, losing his dignity as a man and a royal family at once.

Now that Xiao Sabi's father and son have been corrected on the spot, none of the ministers have taken care of Yelu Yanxi, and they don't even bother to look at him.

Instead, Yelu Bawotai walked to Yelu Yanxi's side, helped him up from the ground, and asked with concern, "Is His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun okay?" ”

Yelu Yanxi knew that he had lost face, and he didn't know how to face the disdainful gaze of the ministers, so he barely squeezed out a little smile, indicating that he was fine.

Shi Xiaozhong was also completely disappointed in Yelu Yanxi, pulled Yelu Bawotai back, and praised him, "It is really a blessing for the country that the king of the Southern Courtyard supports the generals of the Great Liao."

It's just that the old man still hasn't figured out, why did this happen? Why are the soldiers who rushed here the warriors of the wolf army under the command of the king of the Southern Courtyard, but not Xiao Sabi's rebels? ”

Yelu Bawotai seemed to have been prepared, and slowly explained, "Now that the matter has come, there are some things that this king can no longer hide.

In fact, a few days ago, His Majesty received information that on today's Bowl Festival, Xiao Sabi, a dog thief, would rebel. ”

The crowd exclaimed in surprise and whispered.

"Your Majesty actually knew in advance?"

"Then why did Your Majesty get poisoned?"

Shi Xiaozhong raised his hand and signaled everyone not to make a noise first, "Don't worry, listen to the king of the Southern Courtyard slowly." ”

Yelu Bawotai continued, "Yes, Your Majesty knew in advance that Xiao Sabi might cause trouble. But because there is no conclusive evidence to prove this, in order not to startle the snake, His Majesty has come up with a plan.

His Majesty found out that Xiao Sabi might poison him by poisoning, so he explained to the king in advance, made all preparations, and pretended to make Xiao Sabi think that he had successfully poisoned the wine.

But His Majesty secretly ordered someone to change the wine that was supposed to be drunk in advance, and replaced it with a new wine. ”

Speaking of this, a certain minister seemed to feel that something was wrong, and asked, "What Your Majesty drank just now is indeed Northern Goat Lamb Stuff." ”

Yelu Bawotai explained, "It's the Northern Goat Lamb Brew that is good, but have you noticed that the same Northern Goat Lamb Brew tastes slightly different? ”

Shi Xiaozhong suddenly realized, "The old man said, why is the lamb brew you drank today so mellow, is it that the lamb brew you drank just now is not the new batch of tribute this year, but the old wine?" ”

Yelu Bawotai hugged his fists at Shi Xiaozhong, "Master Shi is really smart. His Majesty convened a grand bowl meeting this time, and indeed ordered people to prepare two batches of northern goat lamb brew.

One batch is a new tribute at the beginning of the year, and a batch is aged from previous years. These two batches of lamb were stored in the tent of the dining room at the same time, but they secretly ordered the attendant to keep the new wine in the light and the old wine in the dark.

It wasn't until today before choosing the wine that he secretly ordered the attendant to put out the old wine, and asked the other attendants to choose a jar to serve it.

So even if someone really poisoned the wine jar of new wine last night, His Majesty would have been prepared. It's just ......"

Yelu Bawotai suddenly looked rewarded, and sighed, "Alas...... Unexpectedly, His Majesty had such preparations, but he still did not prevent the conspiracy of Xiao Sabi, a dog thief. ”

The crowd also sighed and lamented, feeling sorry for Yelu Hongji's poisoning and death.

Yelu Bawotai continued, "The princess didn't know about this matter, but no one expected that when Xiao Dale Hui sneaked into the tent of the dining room last night and poisoned it, she happened to be seen by the princess.

That's why when the princess toasted, she blurted out the poisonous things in the wine. At that time, the king was also shocked into a cold sweat, and he was afraid that Xiao Sabi would know that His Majesty had insight into his conspiracy in advance, and he would jump over the wall in a hurry.

Fortunately, there was no poison in the first glass of wine, and His Majesty laughed it off.

His Majesty's original plan was to pretend to be poisoned when he drank the second glass of wine, and then lead Xiao Sabi to stand up and cause trouble, as long as his rebellious intentions were proved, His Majesty could stand up and crush Xiao Sabi's rebellious conspiracy with the power of thunder. ”

Shi Xiaozhong suddenly exclaimed, "Sure enough, when we used sheep to test the poison, the old man thought of this, and felt that His Majesty's poisoning was fake, so pretending to be in order to attract the rebel to act on the spot, so that there would be sufficient evidence to treat him for the crime of rebellion." ”

Yelu Bawotai responded and said, "Master Shi is shrewd and can see through this, and he is really smart. It's a pity that His Majesty still didn't calculate that in Xiao Sabi's plan, the poison was not in the wine, but in the wine bowl.

So when His Majesty was poisoned, the king also thought that everything was going according to His Majesty's expectations, as long as Xiao Sabi stood up and declared rebellion at this time, he could order the Guards to take it down.

But everything is too strange, and this king didn't expect that His Majesty was really poisoned, and he has been forcing Xiao Sabi to show his fox tail, still thinking that His Majesty is safe and sound.

Xiao Sabi's conspiracy to poison His Majesty still succeeded by mistake, and when the news of His Majesty's death came out of the Golden Horde, the king also panicked.

And Xiao Sabi knew that the treacherous plan had succeeded, so he no longer concealed his rebellious intentions, and immediately ordered someone to blow a trumpet to summon his men and horses who had been ambushed outside the camp in advance to rebel.

Fortunately, His Majesty's plan took precautions against this, first, he ordered the Great Eagle Army to be secretly on guard in advance, and when Xiao Sabi's first batch of more than 10,000 men and horses in ambush secretly came out of the camp, they did not stop it, but immediately controlled the remaining brigade after they left the camp.

And even earlier, His Majesty also ordered the king to use the wolf soldiers and horses of the Southern Courtyard, and felt an ambush outside the camp a day in advance, and earlier today, the wolf army had surrounded Xiao Sabi's men and horses, and they were all wiped out......"
