Chapter 3160 Poisoning
Zhou Man held his head high and chest puffed out, feeling quite proud.
Daji broke the atmosphere and said in a low voice, "Then let's go!"
Zhou Man blinked, quickly grabbed Daji, and whispered, "Why are you leaving? They're already at our door. We have to catch them no matter what."
Daji frowned and said, "My lady, we are too few in number. Compared with your safety, these people are not worth mentioning."
He said, "Let's go back first, mobilize the troops, and then come back to capture them. As long as they are within the territory of Qingzhou, they won't be able to escape."
If he ran away, he ran away. Does Zhou Man's life matter? Anyway, let's persuade him to go back first.
Zheng Gu also reacted and nodded repeatedly, saying that safety is still the most important thing.
The guards also wanted to leave, but the main reason was that the other side had more people than them and they didn’t know how skilled they were, so it was more important to save their lives.
Zhou Man rummaged through his sleeves for a long time, finally closing his eyes. After a while, he pulled out a bottle, and then another bottle...
Zhou Man showed them three medicine bottles and whispered confidently, "Do you know what medicine this is?"
Everyone shook their heads. Daji glanced down the mountain and said in a low voice, "My lady, they have already stopped because of the tree blocking the road. Without my message, they will stay there. We don't have much time."
So if you want to say something, just say it now.
Zhou Man immediately sped up his speech. "This bottle of medicine is an itching medicine. If you sprinkle it on them, their whole body will itch, and no matter how strong their willpower is, they will lose their fighting spirit. This bottle is a smelly powder. After smelling it, people will feel weak all over, dizzy and vomit. This bottle is even more powerful. It's a blood-breaking powder. This is a poison I've only occasionally made in the past two years. Once it enters the body, it will cause the heart to beat rapidly, and then it will break, cutting off the blood supply, and the person will bleed to death from all seven orifices."
Everyone widened their eyes.
Zhou Man took back the Blood-Severing Powder, held up two bottles of medicine, and asked them, "Which bottle do you want to use to deal with them?"
In fact, if it was not difficult to find a reason, she still had some drugs made into incense blocks. After lighting them, she would throw them among them. Even if it was not easy to knock people out in a deserted place, it would definitely make people feel weak in their hands and feet and dizzy.
Some of these things were prepared before going to the Western Regions, and some were secretly made after she returned from the Western Regions because she was interested in them.
It’s a pity that she didn’t have the chance to use it after she made it.
After all, if this kind of poison or drug gets out, it is easy to cause trouble. Since Zhou Silang and Xiang Mingxue often travel around for business, she would give them some for self-defense.
Every time they finished using it and asked Zhou Man for more, she would ask them in detail how they used it and who they gave it to...
Daji looked at the bottle of smelly powder and made a quick decision, "Use this."
The other guards glanced at the bottle of itching powder and whispered, "This is safer, right? It's just an itch. If we use smelly powder and accidentally inhale it, won't we also have vomiting, diarrhea, and dizziness?"
Daji immediately asked, "Is there an antidote?"
Zhou Man pondered and said, "I can give you acupuncture to relieve the pain. Don't worry too much. We have a lot of medicinal herbs in our medicine box. We can make a prescription. The remaining poison can be removed when we get to the place."
Seeing that the bandits lying in ambush below were ready to make a move, Daji took the smelly powder and took out a handkerchief to tie his mouth and nose. He then directly asked three of them to go together, and the rest stayed here to protect Zhou Man.
When Zhou Man saw Daji give her a warning look, she could only squat and watch the show.
She flipped through Koko's space again and said to him, "The poison I prepared is still too little, and it's not very convenient to use. It's a pity that Teacher Mo is not very good at this. I figured it out based on some storybooks. Alas, it's a pity that no one taught me..."
Koko: ...If Mr. Mo was good at this, you wouldn't have the chance to see him in the encyclopedia.
The six of them squatted on the mountain and watched Daji and the other three sneak up quietly. However, he was still a step too slow. The bandits who were ambushing behind the tree below had already jumped out to stop the convoy that was reluctant to move the tree.
The bandits hiding in the bushes had also stood up, but did not rush down. Instead, they hid and looked down the mountain, talking. "Damn it! They've already moved the two trees ahead, why haven't they moved this one yet?"
"Do they suspect we're lying in ambush on the mountain?"
"Then why don't you turn around and walk away, instead of just standing there motionless on the road?"
"Stop rambling! What's the point of saying this now? Can't you see our men have already rushed down?" the man said, "Keep your eyes open. If anyone in the car gets out or turns around and runs, we must capture her alive. If we can, we'll capture her alive. If not, we'll kill her."
"Strange, why haven't the people in the car gotten out yet? They're about to start a fight. Mr. Fu, should we get out? The other side has already rushed down..."
Before they could figure it out, a figure stepped on a tree and flew quickly over their heads. Everyone was startled and immediately looked up, pulling out the knives in their hands and looking around vigilantly.
Before they could see the figure clearly, a foul smell suddenly hit their noses. Everyone subconsciously held their breath. After a while, they let go. As soon as they let go, they couldn't help but take a deep breath. Then they were completely dazed. The stench rushed straight to their hearts and spleens. Several people couldn't help but vomit against the tree...
Daji fell to the ground and looked back. He saw that they were all holding onto the tree and vomiting, and one of them fell to the ground with a plop...
Daji was so confident that he simply drew his knife, called the three of them and said, "Let's go down!"
There were not many guards and yamen runners in the motorcade, only ten people including the driver. The people on the opposite side had already rushed down, there were as many as twenty of them. Although they had just started fighting, some of them had already been injured.
Daji took out the medicine bottle, poured some medicine powder into everyone's hands, and led the three of them to run down the mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, he kicked his feet and leaped into the air, rushing towards the group of bandits. When someone saw him, they directly chopped at him in mid-air, but he was not there to fight them. He simply waved his hand, sprinkled the medicine powder in his hand, and flew past by stepping on the swords or people's heads that were coming at him...
The others did the same thing, and anyway, they scattered all the powder in their hands, but they couldn't distinguish between friend and foe. After a while, everyone, including their own people, felt weak in their hands and feet and turned around to vomit.
Some of the bandits were on the edge, and those with mild symptoms felt something was wrong, so they turned and ran, only to be caught up and dealt with by Daji and his four companions, who had been covering their mouths and noses.
Zhou Man, Zheng Gu and the other six dragged the ten bandits down with ropes. They looked at the bandits, who were huddled together and still trying to escape, and shouted, "Why are you running? You've been poisoned by me, and you're still running? There's no antidote, are you just going out there to die?"
The person who persisted and wanted to run was stunned and stopped struggling.
