Chapter 476 Cao Yizhao is captured

"Young Master."

The middle-aged man handed a note to Cao Yizhao, "Everything is normal over there. At their speed, they should be there by noon tomorrow."

Cao Yizhao took the note and read it. Not noticing anything unusual, he placed the note on the candle flame and burned it.

"Young Master, the city has confirmed that apart from the pregnancy-preserving medicine they took that day, there are no other abnormalities. Do we still need to make arrangements for the water source?"

The middle-aged man still felt that it was not right to poison the water source, and he had a vague feeling that it would bring them disaster.

Cao Yizhao raised his eyelids slightly. "Why, you can't even spare the manpower to poison the water source? Or can you guarantee that this time it will be foolproof?"

"This... I am just worried..."

Seeing Cao Yizhao's angry face, he could only lower his head and say, "My subordinates are too nosy. I will make arrangements right away."

"etc."

Cao Yizhao stopped him and said, "Since there's nothing wrong with them, there's no need to use drugs at the water source near Fengtouling.

Have someone guard the canyon exit. If we fail here, find the right moment to poison them over there. Remember to do it at the water source, so they don't notice anything."

The middle-aged man understood what he meant. The water was poisonous and the fish and shrimp would be poisoned as well.

If it is flowing water, the poisoned fish and shrimp will flow down with the water and will not be easily detected.

The young master didn't let the water source at the entrance go unnoticed not because he thought poisoning would cause them trouble with the government, but simply because he didn't want Wei Qingyan and the others to discover the clues in advance.

The master is stubborn and no amount of persuasion is of any use. "I understand."

Seeing Cao Yizhao waving at him, he left the room and then told the guard, "Go to the kitchen and tell them to steam more buns tomorrow morning. Use meat filling for the buns, don't skimp on the meat. After breakfast, give each person three more buns for lunch."

Wei Qingyan should send people to explore the way in advance, so they must set up an ambush and disguise themselves early to avoid being discovered when they arrive at the last minute and thus failing in their plan.

According to Wei Qingyan and his companions' pace, they would not arrive until noon.

This involves the issue of eating. We are all eight feet tall men. How can we have the strength to kill people if we don’t have enough food?

As long as the task can be completed, the young master has no shortage of this little money, and he is happy to be generous.

After receiving the order from the kitchen, a dozen cooks worked all night to fetch water, knead dough, chop stuffing, etc. By the time they finished everything, it was already late at night.

The kitchen manager ordered two people to stay behind to watch, and the rest of the people went back to their rooms to rest for an hour before getting up to light the fire and set up the steamer.

The two people who were left behind had been busy for most of the night and were very tired, so they each found a place to sit down and take a nap.

He didn't notice that a dark shadow sneaked in quietly.

The next day, at daybreak, smoke rose from the peak of the mountain, and baskets of white steamed buns were carried to the flat ground in front of the village.

After a while, soldiers came one after another to line up for breakfast.

Cao Yizhao got up and washed with the help of the servants, and then was pushed to the dining table.

He usually ate the buns made in the kitchen, but the servant who served him saw that the buns were steamed especially fragrant today, so he brought him two.

Cao Yizhao also knew that the kitchen had been busy all night last night. Looking at the two buns, he knew that they were prepared by the kitchen for the soldiers.

But in the past, Chun Xing always fed him light meals to save trouble in serving him, so that he wouldn't have to go to the toilet frequently. As time went by, his stomach got used to the light meals, and he had no appetite for the buns with a strong meaty smell.

By the time he finished eating, the soldiers in the square outside had already finished eating. They each received their lunch and were ready to set off.

Not long after, the middle-aged man came running over with a look of pain on his face, "Young Master, something has happened. The soldiers have all been poisoned."

Cao Yizhao's pupils trembled violently.

Looking at the middle-aged man again, his face was purple and blood was oozing from the corners of his lips.

His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, get ready to leave."

As he finished speaking, several men in black appeared, and their conditions were not very good.

Cao Yizhao knew that Wei Qingyan had tricked him again.

Someone must have sneaked up the mountain last night and poisoned their food, or it was a poison that wouldn't take effect immediately, so it wouldn't be discovered immediately and could poison more people.

"Young Master, I will carry you on my back."

A secret guard stumbled and squatted in front of Cao Yizhao. Cao Yizhao closed his eyes and said, "No need."

These people were also poisoned, so where could they take him to escape?

Even the secret guards around him were poisoned, but he was the only one who was safe. It can be seen that Wei Qingyan's people were very familiar with the situation in the mountains and knew that his meals were prepared separately.

She deliberately didn't poison him, wanting to capture him alive.

If that's the case, how could Wei Qingyan let him escape? Instead of being thrown to the ground halfway, it would be better to sit here and wait for Wei Qingyan to come.

At least it's still somewhat decent.

The secret guard squatting in front of him fell to the ground before he could lie down.

The National Protection Army did not give him this respect.

He was carried by two National Protection Army soldiers and thrown in front of Wei Qingyan.

Listening to the sounds of fighting outside, Cao Yizhao thought inappropriately, if he had eaten that bun just now, would Wei Qingyan feel a little regretful seeing him die so easily?

He thought so and asked so.

Wei Qingyan said, "In order to capture me, you first colluded with Chi Lie, and then disregarded the lives of the people and attempted to poison the water source.

If that were the case, then letting you die would be a real bargain for you."

"It seems that the person I sent to poison you failed."

Cao Yizhao sighed.

Wei Qingyan looked at Cao Yizhao like this, clenched his fist, unclenched it, and asked, "How did you know that the spirits were looking for the Holy Stone?"

Cao Yizhao was surprised and asked, "How did my sister-in-law know about this?"

Although he did not answer, he admitted that the people who were swept to the bottom of the sea were indeed sent by him.

Seeing Wei Qingyan remained silent, he turned his eyes slightly and asked in surprise, "So you went to Pu State?

No wonder, no wonder I felt something was wrong, so this is how it is.

You left with the Wei envoy a long time ago, right? No wonder you sprained your ankle despite being so skilled.

The one who stayed in the Prince's Mansion was Abu. He used a sprained ankle to cover up his mistake and was captured and taken to Chilie. And it was he who killed that idiot Prince Chilie, right?"

Wei Qingyan looked at the person talking to himself and suddenly said, "You are smarter than Lin Wanzhi, probably because you inherited your father, but your heart is as vicious as Lin Wanzhi's."

Cao Yizhao was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "He's not a smart man, otherwise why would he let Lin Wanzhi do so many things under his nose? How can a man who can't even protect his own son be called smart?"

"So you hate him and Lin Wanzhi, but what I don't understand is that Shi Yu and I have done nothing wrong to you, so why do you hate us too?"

"I don't hate you."

Cao Yizhao tried to sit up straight, "I actually like my elder brother quite a bit, otherwise I wouldn't stay in the Prince's Mansion all this time.

But I came to this world and everything was taken away from me. I have to do something and take something back."

"So what do you want to get back?"

Wei Qingyan said coldly, "Are you dissatisfied with your own disability and want to control me and take over Shi Yu's body?"

"My sister-in-law is really smart. She even thought of this. Yes, I want you to take over Shi Yu's body."

Cao Yizhao readily admitted it and sighed, "It's a pity that I still fell into your hands."

"Now that you've said all this, let me answer my first question. How did you know the Eldar were looking for the Holy Stone?"

Wei Qingyan took a step closer, "Where is the Holy Stone?"

Cao Yizhao's lips slowly raised a smile, evil and asking for a fight. He said, "Guess?"
