Ye Xiaoxiao said this, looking at Qi Yuan, whose forehead was covered in sweat, with a playful look.
"Looking at General Qi, he seems to be in a hurry to go somewhere."
"How about it? Do you want to talk to us? Maybe we're on our way and can give you a ride."
Qi Yuan snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense. Now that I've fallen into your hands today, I accept defeat. You can kill me or chop me up as you please."
Qi Yuan knew that neither Ye Xiaoxiao nor Dugu Xin would let Tan go easily, so there was no need for him to beg for mercy from them.
Ye Xiaoxiao naturally wouldn't bother to deal with Qi Yuan. At the moment, she was more interested in the things at the bottom of the river.
After clapping their hands, Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun looked towards the bottom of the river.
Largemouth catfish are more active at night than during the day, and there are rat king pups constantly provoking them in the water.
At this moment, I'm afraid all the big-mouthed catfish at the bottom of the river have been disturbed.
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the bottom of the river and saw a dense layer of matter, and could not see anything else.
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly, "It seems that we can only wait for Dugu Xin to bring people to catch them."
"Fortunately, it looks like everything is going well on his end."
Shangguan Lingyun nodded, glanced at the sky, and said with some heartache.
"It's getting late, and it'll take him a while to sort things out. Why don't we find a place to rest first?"
Ye Xiaoxiao did not object. Ever since she became pregnant, she had been a little sleepy. Although she had slept for a while in the afternoon, she felt a little tired now.
Shangguan Lingyun asked Tianxuan and Wang Xiao to set up a simple tent, and then asked the two to guard it strictly.
"Without my order, no one is allowed to enter under any circumstances, including you."
Upon hearing this, the two nodded, although curious.
After giving all these instructions, Shangguan Lingyun pulled Ye Xiaoxiao into the tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Shangguan Lingyun asked Ye Xiaoxiao to take him into the space.
"This space is really nice. You can rest well anytime and anywhere."
Ye Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, and the couple began to rest in the space.
On the mountain, Dugu Xin finally felt relieved after learning that Qi Yuan had been captured.
The next step is to subdue the Qi family army and use it for his own purposes, and then go to help Ye Xiaoxiao find medicine.
Thinking of this, Dugu Xin gave an order and asked Han Yu to find Li Qi and Deputy General Liu.
It took about an hour for all the soldiers to be gathered together.
When everyone learned that the person in front of them was Prince Dayu, they were all surprised.
Dugu Xin didn't waste any words and went straight to the point and shouted at everyone.
"I am the Crown Prince of Dayu. Do you know why I poisoned you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately began to whisper.
Dugu Xin didn't care and waited until they had almost finished talking before continuing.
"First of all, your presence here without His Majesty's order is already treason."
"Even if I kill you right here today, you will still deserve to die."
"But, as soldiers, it's not entirely your fault for obeying orders."
"So, I want to ask you here, will you remain loyal to the Qi family, or return to Dayu?"
Everyone had already understood Dugu Xin's intentions. In addition, Qi Yuan had already run away, so they naturally would not be loyal to the Qi family.
"Return to Dayu, swear allegiance to Dayu, swear allegiance to His Highness until death."
Under the leadership of Lieutenant General Liu and Li Qi, the soldiers shouted loudly.
Dugu Xin looked at everyone with satisfaction, and then said.
"Since you are willing to follow me, I will give you a chance."
"A large number of large-mouthed catfish have appeared in the Cangwu River. These fish have taken over the riverbed and are harmful rather than beneficial to the people."
"Next, please join me in going to the riverbed to catch fish."
Everyone was stunned. They never thought that raising rats with Qi Yuan was strange enough.
After Dugu Xin subdued them, he actually asked them to go to the bottom of the river to catch fish.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Dugu Xin explained again.
"These fish are different from ordinary fish. When you go there, you will understand what I mean."
"Han Yu, you, along with Lieutenant General Liu and Lieutenant General Li, will lead everyone to the section of the river where the bigmouth catfish is."
Han Yu accepted the order and led everyone down the mountain.
However, just when they were halfway there, someone started to feel the poison take effect and rolled on the ground with stomachache.
"Your Highness, please give us some antidote first. This poison is too unbearable."
Dugu Xin looked at it coldly, "Is that so? But as far as I know, the poison I administered didn't have much effect on the first day."
"You are suffering from the following symptoms now. Could it be that you have been poisoned by some other poison?"
After Dugu Xin finished speaking, he looked at the military doctor he met at the beginning.
"Military doctor, why don't you take a look at what's going on for them?"
The military doctor felt the pulse of several people tremblingly, but the more he felt, the more sweat beads appeared on his forehead.
"Your Highness, I am incompetent and cannot find any other signs of poisoning."
While saying this, he cursed the ancestors of these troublemakers for eighteen generations in his heart.
"Why don't you do something else? Looking for trouble now is like pulling out the beard of the King of Hell, courting death."
Those people didn't expect this result, but now that they have already pretended, they have to pretend thoroughly.
"Alas, Your Highness, we didn't lie. It's probably because we are weaker that the poison took effect faster."
"Your Highness, we are really in pain. Please give us an antidote."
