Chapter 178 Bait

Gu Huan and Chi Yu looked at each other. They both knew in their hearts that nothing good would happen if Ji Xuanyu and the others went to the porridge stall.

Mu Junyan is about to lead his soldiers into battle, and she has to find a way to stop the people from Yifengtang and prevent them from making trouble behind her back.

They both looked in the direction of Ji Xuanyu.

Ji Xuanyu was not wearing a mask and had entered the queue at the porridge stall with two other people.

There is no time!

Gu Huan jumped off the carriage. Chi Yu saw this and quickly got off the horse and stopped her, saying anxiously, "Madam, no."

This is a dangerous matter and the consequences are difficult to estimate.

Chiyu knew that he should stop Ji Xuanyu, but Gu Huan was the apple of his lord’s eye. If something unexpected happened, his death would not be enough to atone for his sins.

Gu Huan said seriously, "There is no time to discuss. I think... Brother Ji has his own difficulties. I can try to persuade him."

Perhaps, in addition to winter clothes and food, what killed Mu Junyan in his previous life might also be the rebellion of Yifengtang!

They must have done the same in their previous lives.

Mu Junyan and his men were attacking on the front line, and there was chaos in the rear.

Gu Huan felt scared just thinking about it.

She couldn't bear to watch Mu Junyan encounter danger again. She hoped that Brother Ji would be nostalgic and kind, remembering that he was a citizen of Daliang and knew that he was going to kill the people of Daliang and 100,000 soldiers.

Gu Huan: "I will try to delay them, and you will try to encircle and suppress them! He promised me that even if he catches Ji Xuanyu, he will give him a chance."

Akabane was very conflicted.

Gu Huan watched Ji Xuanyu disappear into the crowd and couldn't wait any longer.

"Akayu, for the safety of Mu Junyan, the Mu family army, and the people of Juzhou, can I play a trick with you? We must keep it a secret from him."

…

The person in charge of distributing porridge at the porridge stall was busy when suddenly someone in the crowd screamed.

"Someone fainted."

"He's foaming at the mouth. Is the porridge poisonous?"

"Another one here! Vomiting again, and having a fever."

"Ah? Poisonous? No wonder, my daughter had a fever all over her body after drinking the porridge yesterday, and she vomited for a whole day and night."

Lu Lao San followed and exclaimed: "This man's face turned purple and his body was convulsing. This is not just an ordinary poison. Maybe it's the southern Xinjiang Gu poison! My neighbor was poisoned by this kind of poison. It took only ten days for his whole body to fester. There was no medicine to save him. When he died, it was horrible to watch."

Another person with Lu Laosan followed suit and started to make a fuss.

"Poison? Oh my god, there's no way to cure it! It requires a witch doctor from Southern Xinjiang to cure it."

Their words immediately caused panic.

Everyone in Juzhou knows that people from small countries or tribes in the mountainous areas of southern Xinjiang are good at being cruel, so of course they believe it when someone says so.

The man who had just drunk a big bowl of porridge looked pale: "I just drank porridge, too. What should I do? Am I going to die?"

The woman held the child in her arms, her face filled with fear: "My child just drank it, too, please save him!"

"How could there be any poison in the porridge stall set up by the Mu family army?

"Could it be that the enemy has entered the city?"

You and I talk back and forth, and the more we talk, the more mysterious it becomes.

When people encounter fear, the more people around them talk about it, the more terrifying it becomes.

As the fear spreads, more and more people will believe it.

For a moment, the porridge place was in chaos.

Crying, shouting, cursing...

The soldiers in charge of distributing porridge were a little panicked and hurriedly told everyone to stay calm.

"Everyone, don't panic. Our porridge is definitely not poisonous. We've already called the doctor. Don't panic."

There were not many soldiers here to begin with, and they could not control the situation, so the one guarding the place sent someone to report the situation.

But at this moment, no one listened to them, and some people even rushed into the porridge factory's warehouse to steal food.

"Hurry up and grab the food, or we may not have porridge to drink anymore."

"Yes, the food inside may not be poisonous. Go grab some."

Those who were brave enough all rushed to the granary behind the porridge shed. The officers and soldiers rushed to stop them and a fight broke out.

Gu Huan and Dong Hua were trying hard to squeeze into the crowd and get closer to Ji Xuanyu.

Ji Xuanyu and Lu Laosan looked at each other, holding something in their hands, and moved closer to the porridge pot, and both of them opened their hands quietly.

Ji Xuanyu's arm was suddenly grabbed by a trembling little hand: "Brother Ji."

The familiar tone trembled uncontrollably.

Ji Xuanyu froze and looked up suddenly: "Huan'er! Why are you here?"

Ever since Gu Huan knew that the young master was Ji Xuanyu, she had imagined the scene of the two of them meeting face to face many times.

I didn't expect it to be in a scenario like this.

Ji Xuanyu suddenly saw the person he had been thinking about here. He was flustered, anxious, and mentally devastated. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Gu Huan stared at the small bamboo tube in his hand, tears streaming down her face.

She knew that the young master was cruel and ruthless, but when she saw with her own eyes how he used vicious means to deal with the people of Daliang, her heart was deeply broken.

She said in a trembling voice: "Brother Ji, you are from Daliang, they are innocent people, how can you..."

Ji Xuanyu covered her mouth with his hand: "Tell me later."

"Why is she here?" Lu Laosan turned around when he heard the voice and was surprised to see Gu Huan.

Ji Xuanyu turned his head and glared at him, shouting in a low voice: "Hurry!"

Gu Huan pulled his hands away with all her strength and screamed, "You can't do this! Brother Ji, what are you going to put in the porridge? You are talking about poison! There is no such thing as an incurable poison! This is all man-made!"

Ji Xuanyu quickly pulled her into his arms, covered her mouth tightly, and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense, Huan'er, believe me, you must believe me."

Believe him?

How to believe it?

Yesterday, she and Donghua happened to read this kind of book. In fact, the so-called poison is a poisonous insect that is deliberately raised by people.

The worms enter the body through the nose or blood.

This is a man-made disaster!

The brother Ji whom she admired actually used something as vicious as the Southern Xinjiang poison to punish the people of Daliang!

The scene was so chaotic that no one noticed her.

Donghua was squeezed out of sight by the crowd.

Gu Huan watched as Lu Laosan and another person poured the contents of the bamboo tubes in their hands into the porridge.

After they left, the chaos was suppressed, and doctors came to cure the vomiting people. Many people no longer believed in the poison.

However, there will definitely be someone extremely hungry who comes to drink the porridge that has not been distributed yet. That's real poisoning!

Gu Huan didn't have time to think about anything else and could only open her mouth and bite the hand that was covering her mouth.

Ji Xuanyu felt pain and stared at her, watching her bite her palm madly until it bled.

Gu Huan was shocked by the smell of blood in her mouth. She stared blankly at Brother Ji's smiling face, feeling horrified.

Why did Brother Ji become so scary?

"Let go of my lady!" Donghua finally squeezed over, pulled out a dagger and was about to rush forward.

Lao San Lu raised his hand and punched Dong Hua in the face, but Dong Hua was no match for him.

With a scream, blood gushed out of her entire face and she swayed twice, but she didn't care about the blood from her mouth and nose and pounced on him again.

The other person next to Lu Laosan held a dagger and stabbed Donghua fiercely from behind. She groaned and fell to the ground softly, staring at Gu Huan with her eyes wide open, her mouth opening and closing.

“No!”

Gu Huan's voice was suppressed in her mouth. She cried and shook her head vigorously, kicking and hitting hard with her hands and feet.

Lu Lao San frowned and looked at the other man. The man raised his short knife and pointed it at Gu Huan's back...

Ji Xuanyu suddenly raised his hand and chopped Gu Huan on the back of the neck, then picked up the person lying on the ground and quickly evacuated.

Lu Laosan and another person protected them on the left and right.

Not far away, Akabane glared with red eyes and whispered to his companions, "Follow closely!"
