Lin Che personally checked the wells in the city.
Soldiers have been stationed next to each well to ensure that no soldier accidentally drinks the well water.
Judging from the water that was pumped out, it was colorless and odorless, which was perfectly normal.
Some soldiers tested it and put some fish and shrimp in it, but they also died with their stomachs turned upside down.
When Lin Che checked the third well, he happened to see military doctor Yun Jingxuan there.
"How is it?" Lin Che asked.
Yun Jingxuan was looking at the dozen or so rabbits used for experiments in front of him, his brows furrowed, and he said quickly:
"General, you're here—now we can basically tell the enemy has dropped 'golden thread eels' into the well. These creatures have been fed highly toxic food since they were young, and their bodies are covered in venom. Just one dropped into the well will contaminate the entire thing. The most terrifying thing is that once the golden thread eels fall to the bottom of the well, they will burrow into the mud and become impossible to find."
"After a while, the well water may be treated and no longer toxic. But when the golden thread eels get hungry, they'll come out again and secretly turn the well water into highly toxic. It's hard to guard against."
Eels are very harmful to people.
In other words, it is very harmful to people!
Lin Che suddenly frowned. He seemed to have read a book of miscellaneous notes at the Li family in Yunzhou:
"Golden Thread Eel, is this something from the Southern Xinjiang Wu Clan?"
Yun Jingxuan was also surprised, and nodded, "General, you're right. This is the witchcraft of the Southern Xinjiang Gu Wu. Not long after we entered the city, our horses were poisoned and the wells were poisoned. This proves that the Southern Xinjiang Gu Wu was already in the city."
"I never thought Prince Wu even kept a Southern Xinjiang witch. Now that the well water is undrinkable, we'll have to find a new well. The moat outside the city is a branch, so if we draw water from the main river, we should be able to avoid poisoning."
Lin Che gave her own suggestions, but her heart sank again. Prince Wu was really not a simple person.
He was not afraid of a head-on confrontation with the Tian Ce Army, but he was afraid that the other side would use such despicable means.
This Southern Xinjiang witch must be caught, otherwise any careless step will result in the loss of several thousand people.
But with the well being guarded so openly today, the Southern Xinjiang Gu Shaman must have noticed and become more alert, making it even harder to catch him.
Unless, you can determine the other party's next action target.
In the entire city of Leishi, what is the most important thing? What will cause a huge loss of combat power if it is eliminated?
Thunder Lion? Impossible, the Thunder Lion had been completely subdued by him, and even Jiang Li couldn't take it back.
Is that Empress Jiang Li? Jiang Li seems to be keeping a low profile, but if she's discovered, it would definitely be the perfect opportunity for a surprise attack. Is the Southern Xinjiang Gu Wu planning to attack Jiang Li?
Lin Che felt that this was very likely, and he immediately walked towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Sending someone to protect Jiang Li is the top priority.
As he walked, Lin Che paused. He had subconsciously neglected himself. If he were a Southern Border Gu witch, then the one he wanted to eliminate would definitely be the general of an entire army.
No one knew about his breakthrough.
He could use himself as bait to lure out the witch in the dark.
"Rain turns into tin."
Lin Che knew that if a group of guards followed him, the Gu witch in the dark would have no chance at all, so he had to send them all away.
"master--"
"You don't need to follow me. What are you afraid of in the city? You are a skilled martial artist, so take the men to guard Yao Wenkuiye and the others. They can't be disturbed during their breakthrough. The other guards will go protect Chief of Staff Yan Musk. She is the most worried because the well water is undrinkable. She can't lose the Heaven-Covering Bag in her hand, and she can't get into trouble."
"Yes, Master."
Yu Huadian answered respectfully, without any delay, and left with all the guards with a wave of his hand.
Lin Che leisurely arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. There were not many guards here, and he had no intention of reducing the number or withdrawing, as that would be too obvious.
Standing in front of the door, Lin Che did not knock immediately. After all, Jiang Li said she needed to go into seclusion.
Buzz!!
Lin Che closed his eyes and used his powerful "spiritual consciousness" to probe inside.
The entire City Lord's Mansion immediately appeared in his mind. The entire City Lord's Mansion was very large, but Jiang Li was the only one in the room.
At this moment, Jiang Li was actually in the study, with the window open. Holding a brush in one hand, she was writing something on an imperial edict. Her face was cold and her whole body emanated a faint golden light, and the imperial edict also emitted a faint glow.
Lin Che's powerful "spiritual consciousness" was unable to clearly see what was written on the imperial edict?
Jiang Li was very focused at the moment. Suddenly, she seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked out the window at the empty yard.
His fair brows frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused.
Then continue writing.
Finally, she took out a jade seal, stamped it on the imperial edict, and then put it away with satisfaction.
Lin Che wanted to see clearly what was written on the imperial edict, but at this moment, his eyes hurt and he subconsciously covered them. His "spiritual consciousness" also disappeared at once.
"System—Tongzi, come out."
【bite--】
"Let me ask you, can my 'spiritual consciousness' be improved?"
[Not meeting the promotion conditions yet]
"So it's possible? What are the conditions?"
[Not meeting the promotion conditions yet]
"I'll ask you to explain. What, what the hell, are the conditions?"
[Not meeting the promotion conditions yet]
Lin Che was so angry that her teeth itched. Why didn't this system know how to upgrade? It was a bit of a Muggle!
At this moment, the door of the City Lord's Mansion was opened from the inside.
