"Smack!"

Seeing Chu Jiu here, he was about to sprinkle the poisonous powder in his hand into the well that the soldiers of the Tiansheng Dynasty relied on to survive.

But he suddenly stretched out his other hand from the side and slapped Chu Jiu's hand that was holding the poison powder to wrap away.

It was because it was so quiet in the night, so even if the amplitude of that hand was patted, it was actually not very big. And the strength is really not heavy, but the slight sound is very obvious in this silent night, which cannot be ignored at all.

Chu Jiu, who had been looking at the well, would have thought that he would be discovered?

And when the powder was not sprinkled at all, it was directly slapped open, and the whole powder in his hand was poured on the grass on the side.

The light green grass of that place was sprinkled with a layer of white powder, like hoarfrost solidified at night.

"You! ………”

Seeing that the white powder in his hand was about to be sprinkled in, it was suddenly slapped open by someone and sprinkled Chu Jiu all over the ground.

His face suddenly became a little ugly, and he subconsciously wanted to accuse the person who found out that he was going to poison, but when he turned his head.

When his eyes fell on that familiar face, he was suddenly speechless, and his eyes were full of strong panic and confusion.

And Zhuang Mingyue, who found out about Chu Jiu's poisoning behavior, was under the moonlight, and he could clearly see Chu Jiu's face for poisoning, "Ah Jiu, you really disappointed me." ”

Even if Zhuang Mingyue just said such a sentence in a shallow tone and expressionlessly, there were no words of excessive accusation, but it was such a simple word.

But it was enough to make Chu Jiu on this side completely white, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back one after another because of this.

"Ming...... Sister Mingyue...... I ......"

In the moment when he saw that the person who found him was Zhuang Mingyue, Chu Yu subconsciously wanted to refute something, to justify himself was not to poison them, nor did he lie to deceive Zhuang Mingyue, let alone deceive her, but when he wanted to exit.

recalled that he came this time to poison him, which was equivalent to betraying Zhuang Mingyue.

Now the evidence is conclusive, and when he was caught red-handed by Zhuang Mingyue, no matter how much he defended himself, when the truth of the matter was already in front of him, he would eat whatever he said, and it would no longer have any effect.

It is precisely for this reason that Chu Jiu here will be in an instant, no matter how much he wants to justify, the intention is to explain.

In this situation, he has never been able to say anything, because he himself knows in his heart that in this situation of being arrested, he has no words to defend himself.

In the end, he still didn't say any words of justification, let alone other Chu Jiu, so he could only choose to give up, and then hung his hands down dejectedly.

And he didn't say more, and he didn't dare to look at Zhuang Mingyue in front of him anymore.

Zhuang Mingyue here, after watching Chu Jiu stand in place without saying a word, looking pitiful, as if the person who had just poisoned him was not him.

The annoyance and disappointment in his eyes were a little lighter, but he didn't change in the slightest because of this. just walked over directly, when passing by Chu Jiu's side.

He paused for a moment, but didn't make any moves, didn't say a word more, and walked directly past him, walking in the direction of the poison that she had knocked to the ground and sprinkled all over the ground.

Zhuang Mingyue is in this situation, even if she understands in her heart, as long as she asks Chu Jiu, what kind of poison is this.

Chu Jiu must have told her the name of this poisonous powder, but in this situation, she didn't want to ask Chu Jiu, she just walked to the poisonous powder silently, and then squatted down.

A pair of silk gloves were taken out of the cuffs, and after protecting their hands, the frost-looking powder was picked up from the grass.

I observed it carefully by the moonlight, and then put it on the tip of my nose and sniffed it lightly.

"Croton and Cordyceps?"

Although Chu Jiu's behavior was like sending extremely serious poisons into this well, Zhuang Mingyue here was sure that these drugs were not highly poisonous, but just a powder crushed by croton and cordyceps.

Although these two herbs are indeed considered poisons, they are not really toxic.

Croton, in particular, is just a tummy headache.

In this case, it is obviously completely different from Chu Jiu's behavior of poisoning at night.

But even so, in this case, it was impossible for Zhuang Mingyue to let Chu Jiu go easily.

Because she knew too well that in this situation, even the powder mixed with croton and cordyceps was not poison. But if the powder really went down into this well.

And let these soldiers in the barracks drink this water, they will definitely have stomach trouble all the time, and with the blessing of Cordyceps, it will be difficult to recover in a short time.

Under such circumstances, how could they have the ability to go to the battlefield while prostrating and fighting with those able-bodied Chu soldiers of the Chu State?

It is precisely because of this reason that Zhuang Mingyue here, even if he finds out that this powder is not enough to produce toxicity, he still does not intend to let Chu Jiu go easily, only to see him slowly stand up from the spot, and then walk to Chu Jiu's side again.

"Come with me."

After saying this, Zhuang Mingyue didn't stop in place for too long, turned around and walked in the direction of the camp where he was.

Chu Jiu, who was found here, thought that Zhuang Mingyue would directly capture him and then imprison him, or inform others of his behavior, and then expel him.

But of course he didn't expect Zhuang Mingyue's reaction to be so indifferent, as if it was just because he had done something wrong and was a little annoyed that he would be so indifferent to him.

"Sister Mingyue......"

Because Chu Jiu, who was a little surprised, subconsciously wanted to call Sister Yiyue and ask him why he didn't detain himself.

Why didn't he just expel him, but the moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly remembered that at this moment, he was not qualified to call the person in front of him Sister Mingyue.

As a result, he didn't finish such a title at all, so he stopped talking again and didn't say anything more, just silently followed Zhuang Mingyue behind her and went to the direction of her camp.

With Zhuang Mingyue here, he brought Chu Jiu back to his tent, and he just sat in the tent and was silent. There was no sound for a moment, and only a short candle burned in the whole tent, and the candle flame was very inconspicuous in the night.

Chu Jiu, who did such a thing here and was caught red-handed, understands that he is now disqualified, and what he says with Zhuang Mingyue is even more unqualified to explain.

Even if he did this for his mother, but in the final analysis, there was no connection between Zhuang Mingyue and his mother, and when he deceived Zhuang Mingyue that he had amnesia and didn't know where he came from.

Zhuang Mingyue would trust him like this, and treat him like a younger brother, but now he betrayed Zhuang Mingyue for himself, and deceived and lied in front of him several times.

No matter from which point of view, he has long been disqualified to continue to talk to Zhuang Mingyue with peace of mind.

Because of this, he is now just standing quietly opposite Zhuang Mingyue, bowing his head and not saying a word, waiting for Zhuang Mingyue's departure.

Zhuang Mingyue here waited for a moment before sighing lightly.

raised his head again and looked at Chu Jiu in front of him, and said frankly: "It is not an accident that I found out that you poisoned the well water tonight, I was already suspicious of you when I was still in the capital, but I have never found conclusive evidence, so I have never mentioned it." ”

I thought I was hiding it well, except for accidentally exposing my horse's feet in front of Zhuang Ruhai.

No one else would have noticed that he was a spy Chu Jiu, after hearing Zhuang Mingyue's words.

He looked over with a somewhat surprised expression, "You already knew that I was a spy sent by the Chu State, and I was telling lies to deceive you all along?" ”

Zhuang Mingyue here looked at Chu Jiu's eyes, and there were some uncertain looks in them.

But she neither nodded in agreement nor denied such words.

Although he did know it a long time ago, at the beginning, he really believed in Yu Chujiu. And during the previous time, he also treated him sincerely and took care of him as his own brother.

"Yes, I did know it for a while. It's just that because you're too young, I guess it's very likely, and you have no choice but to expose it. ”

"What about you...... Why do you continue to believe in me, so that I can succeed after doing those things again? Chu Jiu, who thinks that he has done seamlessly, is precisely because all his plans have been successful from the beginning, so he thinks that Zhuang Mingyue has always believed that he has not discovered his identity and purpose.

Now it is found that Zhuang Mingyue is actually suspicious of him, and for a while, he can still let him succeed.
