Chapter 358 Exploring water sources

Hangu closed an altar and set up an altar, no one knew what happened last night, how those creepy voices came out, all of them can be described as weird, the same awe of this person with strange arts, killing people invisibly, once offended this kind of person is not clear.

The cavalry returned one after another, "Bow 61 crossbow battalion is fine." ”

"The reserve battalion is fine."

"The archers are fine."

Zhao Kuo and others finally breathed a sigh of relief, people's lives will not be smooth sailing, some things happen suddenly and are simply unpredictable, how to solve the problem in the fastest speed and the best way is the most test of people's ability, if you can't make an accurate judgment quickly, once delayed, the consequences are unimaginable.

Zhao Kuo frowned deeply, although he was just guessing, if the other party was really poisoned in the water, he would definitely choose the upper waters, which was completely controlled by Zhao Jun, and he didn't dare to imagine how the Qin people did it, no matter who it was, as long as there was an action, it would inevitably leave traces.

"King, is there really a problem with the water?"

Li Mu stepped forward and carefully examined it, the water was clear and transparent, the body was close, there was no smell at all, according to past experience, if you drank unclean water, you could survive for a few days at most, this time so many people died at once, the death was terrifying, how was the blackened internal organs caused, is it really poisonous.

"It's useless to guess, just follow this king and take a look."

"Okay."

The group went backwards, only with dozens of personal guards, all the way, everywhere there were Zhao soldiers guarded, Zhao Kuo ordered people to inspect one by one, and the defense everywhere was tight, and there was no loophole at all.

A figure approached, and Bai Ying floated to the front, "It's normal." ”

"What a hell of a life."

Zhao Kuo said with a smile: "After all, a living person can't see a ghost, and even if he does, he is a living person pretending to be a living person, go to the water to take a look." ”

The sound of water came, everyone approached, and a stream came down from top to bottom, and when it came to the front, the stream was crystal clear, "Is there someone guarding the upstream?" ”

"There's a team of people, it should not be far from here."

Zhao Kuo looked up along the stream, this place is extremely empty, even if there is tall grass on both sides, if someone approaches to poison here, it can also be found, several possibilities quickly emerge in his mind along the way, the most reasonable explanation is only one, someone is familiar with the habits of the Zhao army, this person is likely to have been lurking in the camp, the number of people can not be determined, after all, the number of new troops is large, and it is equally reasonable to mix Qin State secret agents, carrying poison on their bodies, taking advantage of the Zhao army's camp to get water, they came upstream to secretly sprinkle poison in the stream, although it has been diluted, Poison can still be deadly, and if it is, it's easy to deal with.

There are footprints all over the waterfront, the stream here is the deepest, close to the side of the Zhao army's camp to place several large stones, the big stones are flat, it can be imaged, the soldiers are standing on the big stones to fill the water and then transport it back to their respective camps.

"This is the place where water is fetched."

Li Mu nodded, "I sent people to investigate along the way before, and it is easiest to get water here, so it is here." Zhao Kuo walked up quickly, there was a corner in front of him, a big stone was horizontally there, the flow of water changed, this is also the best place to hide, if someone is really mixed with the water soldiers to poison the soldiers, they must choose here.

"What is the king looking for?"

"I don't know, it should be a very important thing."

"I hope I can find out soon."

Zhao Kuo's figure stopped, and several other people followed far behind, for fear that walking too close would affect the judgment of the king, the waterfront extended upward, washed for a long time, and the shore was full of silt, no one walked the slightest trace, no one, could it be wrong to judge, if it wasn't water, how could the soldiers of the entire camp be poisoned, it was a plague, it shouldn't be, judging from the color of the organs, it must be poisoned.

The figure stepped forward, "King, generals, why are you here?" ”

The person who came to the front was the general along the way, and he was really startled when he saw a group of people approaching and quickly stepped forward, although he was a general, after all, there was a difference, and there was too much difference in the positions in the army, and the 61 general Li Mu, the left and right generals were there, and the person at the head should be the king, and it was the first time he had seen it from afar.

"What's going on these days?"

The man shook his head, "It's normal, there are people guarding the radius day and night." ”

Li Mu nodded, "The big war is imminent, so you must not be careless and affect the overall situation." ”

"General 61 rest assured."

Everyone followed the sound upward, flowing down the stream from a high place is the place where Zhao Jun's camp takes water, just as Zhao Kuo thought, the water falls from a high place and the water is turbulent, if someone really poisons the water, it will soon be washed downstream by the water, even if it is carefully calculated, if you want to poison the entire water, the amount of poison you need can be imagined, the most important thing is that there are people guarding along the way, and the Qin people can't get close to the upstream at all.

Could it be that his judgment was wrong, Zhao Kuo looked at the stream flowing down from above, and the sunlight falling on the water reflected the debut light is very good-looking, and he can't let go of any possibility.

A bird swooped down, bounced off the surface of the water quickly, its wings kept flashing, and the speed was unimaginably fast at that moment, and it suddenly protruded, and the bird suddenly fell from the sky.

"There's something wrong."

Zhao Kuo approached quickly, the bird was dead, it was still good a moment ago, why was he killed in an instant after approaching the current, such a strange scene happened Zhao Kuo breathed a sigh of relief, so sure that the matter was in the water.

"The King."

Li Mu pointed with his hand, the bird's body moved, not the whole body but the stomach, there seemed to be something in it that kept squirming, and the belly bulged, Li Mu stepped forward, the long sword was drawn out and stabbed downward, a fishy smell came, this smell was exactly the same as the camp where the accident occurred, and a black shadow suddenly bounced up the moment the long sword fell.

"You can't use a sword."

An inexplicable creature appeared in the belly of the bird, and it bounced up suddenly, Li Mu's long sword was in his hand, and Li Mu's ability to kill it when he was close to the body, it was too dangerous, if it was really a highly poisonous thing, it would be covered with venom all over his body, and the long sword hit, if the venom accidentally splashed on his body, the consequences were unpredictable, Li Mu was Zhao Kuo's subordinate general, and an arrow rushed out, the sword light flashed, not stabbing at the black shadow but slashing to the sleeve, the wide sleeve fell, almost at the same time the body went down, and the left hand grabbed the fallen sleeve and rolled it up.

"King Xie."

Li Mu put away his sword and retreated to the side, and everyone stepped forward, all wanting to see what was rolled up in their sleeves, "Light a fire around." ”

The soldier acted quickly, picked up hay, shook his arm, Zhao Kuo's figure retreated, and finally saw that it was indeed a black insect, black all over his body, his movements were flexible, trying to escape, but he was completely surrounded by fire, and seemed to be extremely afraid of fire.

"What is this?"

Zhao Kuo also didn't recognize it, there are no wonders in the world, and there are not a few poisonous things, among which the five poisons are the first, most of the poisonous drugs are guided by the five poisons, surrounded by fire, the shape of the black insect is completely different from the five poisons, the head is pointy, dozens of fine insect feet grow under the body, and the back of the body drips black liquid from time to time, the smell is unbearable, and the camp poisoned soldiers should be guided by eating the water polluted by poisonous insects.

"See if there's any of this bug in the water."

The soldier approached slowly with a torch, frightened in the face of this strange poisonous insect that can instantly kill people, and approached the water's edge, one of them exclaimed: "There is still in the water." ”

Zhao Kuo stepped forward, the black pressed a piece, some grabbed the stones and sank to the bottom of the water, some stuck to the grass roots on the shore, wriggling from time to time, the bird that came out to forage must be regarded as a good meal, and did not want to lose his life for it.

Hiss, as everyone approached, the black insects began to be restless, their bodies twisted, and some climbed up along the blades of grass, "King, these beasts are so strange that they seem to be able to sense us. ”

Zhao Kuo nodded, "It must not be as simple as an ordinary poisonous insect." ”

"Is it so?"

Li Mu's eyes widened, and the strange scene in front of him had only been mentioned by others, and he didn't want it to happen in front of him at this time, "General 61 knows the origin?" ”

Li Mu nodded, "When I was guarding the northwest border, I heard that there were people in the Bashu area who practiced thaumaturgy, and they could control all kinds of poisonous insects for their own use, also known as Gu art. ”

"Gu Technique~"

Everyone also exclaimed, since it is called the magic must be extraordinary, witchcraft, poison, witchcraft, many things are associated with magic, of course, there is another point, do not learn no magic, magic, most of the definition is unorthodox learning, that is, the law of the left way, most of the practitioners live in seclusion in the mountains, so it is more mysterious.

Zhao Kuo nodded, "It seems that there is only one possibility." "Zhao Kuo also knows something about this kind of wonderful technique, mostly in the area of Miaojiang, which should be the land of Bashu to which Qin belongs, and the fog lingers all year round, and no one knows how many secrets are hidden in the mountains.

"There are still people in the world who practice this kind of thing to harm people, if Mu Chen sees it, he will kill them all with a sword."

"That's not the case, Gu practice is also restricted, and there are only a few of them who use it to harm people, and if you want to crack it, you can only rush to Bashu in person."

"Great King, it will take ten days to reach Bashu from here bypassing Changping at the earliest, not to mention that the area around Laomaling is controlled by the Qin army, so it is too dangerous."

"Wealth is in danger, if you can't break this Gu technique, you will only kill more people, the army retreated, first transferred water from the rear, ordered people to check the water source along the way, and once this black poisonous insect was found, stop drinking immediately."

Zhao Kuo made up his mind that he was helpless in the face of this strange secret technique, so he had to go to Bashu to find out, such a decision was not impulsive, he had a fate with the widow Qing that day, and vaguely remembered that he mentioned Bashu that day, and he was also interested in this mysterious woman, maybe he could have an encounter when he rushed to Bashu this time.

"Li Mu is willing to go to Bashu to find a way to solve it."

If Zhao Kuo wants to go in person, it will inevitably be dangerous, the people in the land of Bashu are fierce and private, and Qin Di can't help but worry.

"No one should notice it when traveling in simple clothes, so it will be handed over to General Li here, and it will not be possible to build a defense."

Li Mu had no choice but to agree, according to Zhao Kuo's instructions, the camp retreated, and Thunderstorm and the others stood above to see clearly, as the camp retreated, thousands of corpses were left in the original camp.

"Zhao Jun retreated."

"Every qiē is the credit of Mr."

"It's just a gesture."

The people who use Gu magic show a smug face, advocating martial arts during the Warring States Period, most of these people sneer at the number of people, thunderstorms are different, they like to make friends with all kinds of talented people on weekdays, and there are not a few people around them who know how to go from side to side, and now it comes in handy, it is really powerful, and it is forced to retreat without moving a single soldier.

"Set up the feast."

"No." The man hurriedly excused himself, "Fasting for a few days." ”

Thunderstorm suddenly realized, "That's fine, after completely defeating the Zhao army, I will celebrate and drink." ”
