Chapter 116: Poisoning
Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.
Maybe it was several consecutive high fevers after coming to Dahan, which caused some problems in Yun Xiao's body. Yunxiao's illness has not been good on a snowy day.
Although he didn't have to drink those bitter Chinese herbal soups, Yun Xiao, who was weak in his limbs, still couldn't go out. Yun Xiao knows that if he gets a cold at this time. It was definitely a deadly rhythm, and at that time, even eighty beauties covered their bodies would not work.
The first snow of the year fell from the sky, as early as when it was cloudy. Yun Xiao had a dog slaughtered, and the dog meat needed to be plucked with cold water overnight. Otherwise, the strong smell of blood will make people unable to swallow.
Many people call dog meat fragrant meat, just look at the appearance of the killers. Due to Yun Xiao's illness, this banquet with the generals adopted the traditional sharing of seats. There is a charcoal stove on each table, on which the casserole dog meat is stewed.
The killers snorted, and the scent of the white steam coming out of the casserole drilled into the nose. However, the head of the house invited guests, and no one dared to put down the chopsticks without moving. The bear endured the hardest, and the sound of swallowing in his throat was constantly "cooing" and "cooing", like a spring in winter.
After all the generals arrived, Yun Xiao came out wearing a fur. Seeing Yun Xiao's still thin face and somewhat sallow complexion, the generals lost interest in the fragrant dog meat.
The head of the Yun family is like this, and now it has become Quan Lintong's heart disease. Now Yunhou's health problems are about to become a daily topic in the Xuan Room. Whether it is Liu Che or Dou Ying, who has always disliked Yun Xiao, they all hope that Yun Xiao will get better.
The reason is simple. Traces of the Huns were found at the border pass.
Since the beginning of winter, traces of the movement of the Huns have been found in the Shuofang Hetao. There were several battles with the Han army, and the Han army at the border pass played very steadily. Due to the fact that the location of the battle was in the field, almost every battle was lost. In just one month, up to 3,000 people have been lost.
However, with the construction of the Great Wall, those fierce Huns in the field were still unable to invade the south on a large scale. Especially in the Hetao area, the ice of the Yellow River can almost be seen in the winding Great Wall. The Huns' counterattack was like a fish falling on the shore, once the Great Wall completely surrounded the Hetao steppe. Then, there will be no room for the fish to jump again. If they do not retreat to the north bank of the Yellow River, they will only be trapped and killed.
The whole court was concerned about the situation at the border pass. Li Guang was named the general of Youbeiping and led the army into Youbeiping. Cheng went to Shuofang from time to time. Now everyone is hoping that Yunxiao will get better. Because no one has to plug the holes in the loop.
Especially Tian Wei, who is a captain, is so anxious that he is about to go crazy. The border passes are reported almost every day, and in addition to the pitiful number of enemy annihilation, there are only dazzling casualty figures. There's no way to settle it anymore. I'm afraid he, the captain, will have to fill it in himself.
Tian Wei is very self-aware. I know best how many pounds and taels I have. Fill in and fill in. The best chance of filling yourself in. He had come to visit Yun Xiao more than once these days, but he saw Yun Xiao's sallow face and weak body. He gave up the idea of asking Yun Xiao to go on the expedition, if Yun Xiao unfortunately died of illness in the Hetao. Nangong will take this gang to kill him and directly burn his Taiwei Mansion. And make sure that no one dares to stop it.
"It's snowing, and it's time to eat dog meat. Today, everyone ate and drank freely, and this year Lao Tzu is sick and there is no need to go here. You just stay at home, and the cat will talk about it after the winter. ”
Yun Xiao waved his hand, and the generals after the salute sat down violently.
The dancers of the Yun family have always been weak, but fortunately, there are many Hun girls. These women from the prairie are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and can sing and dance. Ellis has been training with Chi Ling for some time, and now she can choreograph some dances.
It's a little strange today, not only did the dancing girl not play. There was not even a single servant, the atmosphere was a little cold, and he looked left and right to see that Canghu took the lead in holding the wine glass.
"Master Hou, your body has not been very good since autumn. The subordinates are very worried about your body, and today's first glass of water and wine, the subordinates and their colleagues wish Master Hou that your body will get better soon. With your illness, there was no laughter in the whole Lintong. ”
"Yes, Master Hou, my subordinates all hope that you will get better soon."
"I wish Lord Hou good health and ......"
"Ahem......" Yun Xiao coughed, and the voices of the killers immediately calmed down.
In fact, Ben Hou also wondered why Ben Hou's body suddenly had a problem. Until I drank the medicine of the Holy Hand of the Imperial Doctor, I didn't get better for a long time. Ben Hou knew that things would not be so simple. So I looked it up secretly. Bring it on! ”
Yun Xiao shouted loudly, and the guards immediately escorted more than a dozen people up.
The eyes of the tiger, the goshawk and the others widened. These people were all dressed in the clothes of the people of Yunfu, and there were two women among them. They were covered in blood, and several of them had swollen faces like pigs' heads. It was obvious that they had all been tortured, and the most surprising thing was that these people were followed by Dai Yu who went to Liaodong.
"I'm all surprised, Dai Yu didn't go to Liaodong. I sent him to investigate why Ben Hou's body suddenly went wrong. Dai Yu, tell me about it. ”
Yun Xiao sat on the chair, the huge tiger skin spread softly under him.
"No"
Dai Yu said yes and stepped forward, grabbing the head of one of the guys with one hand.
"Hou Ye was afraid that ordering an investigation would startle the snake, so he ran away from the mastermind. So they took the opportunity of ordering me to go out and asked me to investigate the matter secretly.
At first, we thought the problem was in the kitchen, but after checking all the cooks, there was nothing suspicious. We have even investigated the family history of these cooks, but we still haven't found anything. It wasn't until we paid attention to the servants in the kitchen that we realized that it was these two Hun.
They received the benefits of others, and actually put foaming ointment on the lid of the pot where Hou Ye cooked. ”
As he spoke, Dai Yu took out a tube of paste-like medicine from his arms.
"When applied to the lid, the medicine melts with the heat and the juice drips into the pot. Hou Ye was naturally poisoned, but fortunately, these two cheap maids were afraid that Hou Ye would be suspected if he was suddenly poisoned. I only dare to apply a little bit every day, and the medicine of the imperial doctor's holy hand has an antidote function, otherwise Hou Yeyan will die.
I went to ask the Imperial Physician Holy Hand, this medicine is called Qianji. Listen to the people who take this medicine, because there is a taste in the medicine called a kind of meat sheep flower in the grassland. So this medicine can only come from the steppe. If this medicine is taken in small amounts, people will have a feeling of internal fire and heat. If you take a large amount of food, you will die because of the exuberant internal fire.
I grabbed these two, and I pulled out the other people. These people were all the meticulous work of the Huns, and they were all border people who were plundered at the beginning. The Huns promised to be kind to their families and asked them to come here to do such things. They confessed that they were instructed by a man named Lao Shun, but none of them had ever seen Lao Shun, let alone knew where he was hiding. ”
Speaking of this, Dai Yu's face was a little unbearable. After checking for a long time, he didn't catch the culprit, which made Jing Chu's first swordsman very faceless.
Canghu stood up suddenly, he had always been in charge of the Yun family's intelligence work. Now there was such a big omission, and Yun Xiao almost died. This sin is not affordable.
"Lord Hou......"
"It's not your fault, there are so many Hun women in the family. If you want to see how possible, you deal with these people. Remember, be secretive. I will continue to be sick until the Huns think I am really sick.
We plundered the Huns twice, and these two plunders cost them at least 100,000 people. The Huns are not as good as us, and the Han people can recover from the loss of three or five hundred thousand years. After all, our population base is much larger than theirs, but it will not be so easy for the Huns to recover first.
As long as the Huns are pressed hard, we will kill one share. The Xiongnu will not dare to harass the Han realm for at least three or five years, and we can do a lot of things during this time. ”
Yun Xiao was thinking about the conquest of Goryeo across the sea, and there were large plains on the south bank of the Han River. It is very suitable for growing food, and Yun Xiao's most important thing is to plunder Dongying. If the historical records are correct, the Wa Kingdom in the Han Dynasty was still a relatively primitive place.
While these devils are still in the embryonic state, kill them. We must not let future generations suffer such a great sin, even if it is against the sky to change the trajectory of history. We can't let the tragedy of an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood happen. For eight years, 10,000 people died every day. The price is too high!
"No, my subordinates know."
Canghu's eyes showed a fierce light, and looking at Canghu's malicious gaze, he knew that these people would not end well. If you want to poison yourself, how can you do it without paying the price.
"Find a way to find out the whereabouts of Lao Shun, this guy is not the first time that he has been our enemy. There's such a guy lurking around, and it's always a piece of heart. You have to pull out the nails, and you can do this with peace of mind in this paragraph. ”
"No, my subordinates understand."
"Alright, take these people down. Take a seat, and let the dancers come in. Today, everyone is happy together, and it is rare to have such interest. ”
The guards drove the prisoners down like pigs, and the tiger followed with a black face. It is estimated that he is going to interrogate these people, so how can he not vent his face so much.
The Hun girls walked into the hall and sang and danced, but the killers no longer had the interest in drinking. It didn't seem that even the dog meat in the casserole was so tempting, and the bear looked at the dog meat in the casserole with straight eyes.
Hou Ye's food was drugged, this dog meat ......
Dai Yu did it behind the table, opened the casserole and took a sip of soup first. Then he took a big bite of dog meat, and when he saw his appearance, the killers reacted.
Since there is a problem in the kitchen, the supervision of the kitchen will be the most stringent in the future. How can there be a poisonous thing, it is really a snake bite for ten years and afraid of the well rope. (To be continued......)
