"What?" I widened my eyes in disbelief, my pupils suddenly constricted, and I couldn't believe my ears.
Looking down at Qin Lan, who was trapped in his arms and threatening to bite him, he felt a wave of heaviness in his heart.
"You mean, being poisoned by love will turn you into this? Then are these people also poisoned by love?" I couldn't help but ask the doubts in my heart.
"Yes." Jack nodded.
"But doesn't love poison make people irritable, produce negative emotions and lust? How can it turn people into such monsters?" I asked again.
Jack was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked up at me and asked, "Do you know what love poison is?"
I shook my head blankly. Just from the literal meaning, I thought it should be something like *, but it was obvious that this love poison was not what I thought.
"What exactly is love poison?" At this time, Xiao Ding on the side couldn't help but ask.
"Princess Qian Ning became a laughing stock in the capital after her concubine tricked her into having an abortion. She attempted suicide several times, and then the general came back." Jack looked at the grinning monsters in front of him, his thoughts suddenly drifting far away, and he spoke slowly.
As soon as I heard it, I knew he was going to tell the story of the general and Princess Qian Ning, so I quickly pricked up my ears.
Xiao Ding's expression also turned serious.
"The general heard about this incident after returning home. After investigating the truth, he discovered that Princess Qian Ning was framed by her concubine. After severely punishing the concubine, he took Princess Qian Ning directly to the battlefield when he marched again."
"Isn't this a good thing? It should be better for Princess Qian Ning to follow the general than to be bullied by concubines in the mansion." I frowned and interjected.
Jack shook his head and said in a heavy tone, "No, all of Princess Qian Ning's misery began on the battlefield."
I was shocked and confused, so I could only continue listening to him.
"Although the general was brutal, he was invincible on the battlefield. However, his achievements also frightened the emperor. This expedition was originally a trap set by the emperor to kill him on the battlefield. The battle was extremely brutal."
"During the battle between the two armies, one of the general's troops was captured by the enemy. Among them were three key generals. If we lose them, the battle will be lost."
"The enemy general is a notorious pervert. He saw Princess Qian Ning's portrait somewhere and asked the general to exchange Princess Qian Ning for a group of his soldiers. General..."
"How?" My heart trembled violently and I asked quickly.
A bad feeling rose from the bottom of my heart.
"The general must have refused. Who would be willing to give his woman to someone else?" Xiao Ding interrupted.
I sighed and looked at Xiao Ding, thinking that he was still too young. Sometimes, for men, especially men like generals who fight on the battlefield, women may not be as useful as soldiers.
After all, soldiers can help him fight in battle and sacrifice their lives, but can women do the same?
In that era, women were useless except for taking care of their husbands and children, and their status was extremely low.
Even if Qian Ning is a princess, her country has been destroyed, so it would be ridiculous to talk about her identity.
"The general agreed." Jack lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly.
"Scum!" Xiao Ding widened his eyes in disbelief and couldn't help but curse.
"Princess Qian Ning was taken to the enemy general's camp and raped by him and his soldiers overnight. At dawn, the general led his troops to razze the enemy camp, leaving no one alive."
I couldn't help but imagine that scene in my mind, and a sense of pity arose in my heart. How cruel is it to do such a thing to a woman?
There must be something pitiful about a hateful person.
"The love poison appeared when Princess Qian Ning was raped." Jack continued.
I was stunned, confused: "What do you mean?"
"Literally, Princess Qian Ning was born with abnormal blood. While struggling when she was raped, she accidentally drank the blood of the enemy. The combination of the two bloods formed a love poison." Jack looked at my puzzled look and began to explain.
"Doesn't that mean Princess Qian Ning was poisoned as well?" Xiao Ding suddenly asked from the side.
Jack shook his head and continued, "No, the love poison was only spread to the men who abused Princess Qian Ning."
"Those infected with the love poison began to bite people crazily, and those bitten by them turned into ghost corpses. So the enemy soldiers killed by the general came back to life, even more powerful than before."
"Although the general finally killed those carrying the love poison, the price he paid was extremely tragic. His army was almost completely wiped out."
I frowned. Fighting like this was almost equivalent to mutual destruction.
"The ghost corpses here have mutated because of the love poison." I was distracted when I saw Jack suddenly change the subject and said while looking at the group of ghost corpses in front of him.
The turn of events was a bit too fast and I couldn't keep up with the pace. It took me a while to realize what he meant.
but?
Isn't the love poison contagious only through intercourse with Princess Qian Ning or being bitten? Then what's going on with these people and Qin Lan in front of him?
It sounds like the love poison they encountered is different from the love poison in the story?
Jack looked deeply at the red liquid flowing in the glass column embedded in the wall not far away. His fingertips suddenly trembled slightly for a moment, and then he said without any abnormality, "Do you know what the red liquid in there is?"
I followed his gaze to the red liquid in the glass column and shook my head: "What?"
"Princess Qian Ning's blood." Jack said lightly.
I was startled and looked up again. Sure enough, I saw the red liquid surging in the glass column. It was as thick as blood. I was shocked and exclaimed, "How is this possible? Didn't she die of shock?"
Jack's body froze, his gaze gloomy as he stared at the glass pillar, almost dripping with tears. He didn't answer my question, but instead said, "That's the love poison."
"Strictly speaking, the love poison is Princess Qian Ning herself. Anyone who makes love with her will be infected. If someone smells her blood for a long time, they will also be infected."
This was the first time I heard of this kind of poison, but I had seen strange things before, so this was nothing. So after a brief moment of surprise, I nodded expressionlessly.
"Roar..." At this moment, Qin Lan, who was pressed against the wall by me, suddenly roared, and her struggles became more and more violent.
Afraid of having to hold her down again, I frowned at Jack and asked, "So what do we do now?"
You can't just wait to die, right?
Jack looked at the group of zombies with a deep gaze, and after a long while he spoke, "A last-ditch effort."
A last-ditch battle?
I know the allusion and can understand it a little bit, but looking at the dark mass of monsters in front of me, I still feel unsure.
"What kind of tactics?"
