Chapter 754 Part 3
It's the poison from the puppet pill.
This was Yang Liushi's first guess, and she thought it was the only possibility.
You know, although there are some poisons in this world that can kill a third-grade warrior, I have never heard of any poison that can kill a person within three breaths.
For example, she had previously wanted to use the "half moon" to kill "poisonous mosquitoes" in Huangfeng Valley.
This poison can kill a third-rank warrior, but the amount of poison required is very large and it will take a long time.
Among all the poisons in the world, "Half Moon" is already a very rare top-level poison.
Therefore, the toxicity of the poison that the three deputy generals were infected with undoubtedly reached a level that "should not exist".
And this is just one aspect.
On the other hand, there is the incredible "trigger mechanism" of this poison.
Under normal circumstances, poisons used to control others are mostly Gu poisons.
This type of poison requires an antidote to be taken regularly, otherwise the poison will take effect. Therefore, the person who controls the antidote can control the person who has taken the poison.
But it is obvious that the three deputy generals were not poisoned by the Gu poison, but a poison that can be triggered by "mental bondage".
Combining the analysis of the above two aspects, Yang Liushi really couldn't think of any other possibilities except the Puppet Pill that Wei Changtian had mentioned.
So here comes the question.
Why did Du Chang take the Puppet Pill, but nothing happened after the betrayal? Why did the three deputy generals also take the Puppet Pill, but they died of the poison because they betrayed Du Chang, not Wei Changtian?
This undoubtedly shows that Wei Changtian is not the only one in the world who possesses Puppet Pill.
And that other person, or that force, must be the one Du Chang is truly loyal to . The wind was cold and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Ignoring the blood on her body, Yang Liushi stood in front of the three corpses and thought for a long time, until Wang Kang's voice sounded beside her.
"Ma'am, what should we do next?"
"But should I inform the Master of this first?"
“.”
Coming back to her senses from her thoughts, Yang Liushi turned her head and glanced at Wang Kang with a complicated expression.
That’s right, the news that Du Chang had rebelled was what Chu Xianping asked the latter to tell him.
Now that Du Chang's rebellion has been confirmed, does that mean Chu Xianping didn't rebel? That's not right. If Chu Xianping really had noticed Du Chang's abnormality, he should have told her husband long ago.
Is it a false counter-attack? But what is the point of performing such a play?
Even if it was for the sake of being more realistic, Chu Xianping didn't need to lie to her husband. Yang Liushi's mind was a little confused. After thinking for a while, she stopped thinking and said to Wang Kang: "I will tell my husband, you don't have to worry about it."
"First, drag the bodies of these three people out and look for any tokens on them."
"Order all officers above the rank of lieutenant in the army to come here to see me immediately."
"Tell the soldiers in the army that General Du and the three lieutenants have other important tasks and have just left the camp."
"Nothing changes. We will break camp and continue westward in one hour."
"Do you understand?"
The voice was normal, and Yang Liushi watched Wang Kang issue several orders in a row.
However, the latter looked somewhat surprised after hearing this.
Four generals in the army all rebelled. Despite such a major event, Yang Liushi actually ordered the army to continue advancing westward as originally planned.
Wang Kang understood that Yang Liushi did not want to delay the opportunity to fight, but the country could not be without a king for a day, and the army could not be without generals for a day. Such reckless advances at this time would always have considerable hidden dangers.
Hesitant in his heart, he did not respond immediately.
Yang Liushi on the other side seemed to have guessed his worries, so she paused for a moment, then said calmly, "From now on, all matters concerning the Tengu Army will be taken over by me."
"Do you understand this time?"
“.”
Dark clouds covered the moon, and the long skirt was stained with blood.
Wang Kang looked at Yang Liushi, whose expression was calm, and actually felt from her a calm temperament that only a veteran who had been through many battles could possess.
"Madam, I understand!"
He stood up straight in an instant, without any hesitation, and immediately responded loudly: "I will pass the order down! From now on, Madam will temporarily take charge of all military affairs!"
"Well, go ahead."
Nodding, Yang Liushi walked to a still intact armchair and sat down, waiting for the middle-level officers in the army to come and see her.
But as if she remembered something, she suddenly called out to Wang Kang, who had already walked to the door, and said silently:
"By the way, please pass a message to Chu Xianping for me."
"Just say thank you for reminding me about Du Chang's matter. I hope he can give me or my husband a definite answer."
“.”
A definite word.
Yang Liushi did not say what this "precise statement" was about, but I think Chu Xianping must understand it.
But after hearing this, Wang Kang did not agree to help her pass the message, but turned around and replied in a deep voice:
"Madam, the young master had expected you to ask this question."
"He has told me that if you really ask, he will answer you like this."
"After five days, everything will be clear."
“.”
In this way, Du Chang's rebellion came to a temporary end.
An hour later, the Tengu army continued to move its camp westward and headed for Fengyuan as planned.
Yang Liushi, who had temporarily taken over the position of commander-in-chief, also told Wei Changtian exactly what had happened tonight.
As for the latter's reaction to this. "What the hell???"
"Are you kidding me???"
"Everyone wants to stab me in the back???"
In a hall in the Fengyuan Palace, when Wei Changtian finished reading the secret letter he had just "translated" for the first time, his mouth was so big that he wished he could stuff a fist in it.
Obviously, he never expected Du Chang to rebel.
What he didn't expect was that Yang Liushi only discovered this matter after Chu Xianping reminded him.
What does that mean? Chu Xianping didn't actually rebel? Everything was just to trick Lu Hongji into revealing that Du Chang was a spy? ? ? There is no doubt that Wei Changtian has more intelligence than Yang Liushi, so his judgment of the whole incident is clearer.
But that's why he reacted like this.
Because judging from the current situation, all my previous analysis was wrong!
The whereabouts of Old Zhang was not leaked by Chu Xianping, it was actually Du Chang!
Du Chang was originally Lu Hongji's man, Kui Long's man!
It is estimated that Lu Hongji had been eyeing Old Zhang and the Tiao Yue Sword for a long time, or he had noticed the "Yan Luo Case" in Dafeng at that time, so he asked Du Chang to pretend to be a horse bandit to approach him in order to explore the secret of the Tiao Yue Sword!
No wonder I asked Du Chang to track down the assassins who killed Old Zhang in the Western Desert Gobi. He captured all of them in just one night!
At that time, I thought Du Chang was a capable person, but now I think it must be Kui Long who is helping him behind the scenes! My goodness, he is really good at hiding!
"Nima."
Wei Changtian clutched the letter tightly, furious at the thought that he had been deceived for almost two years.
To be honest, his trust in Du Chang was even as much as Liang Zhen's. Tang Chen never checked Du Chang during his several "spy inspections".
Now that he thinks about it, if he had asked Tang Chen to treat everyone equally and thoroughly investigate all the people, whether close or distant, perhaps Du Chang would have been exposed long ago.
Alas, it was because I trusted the Puppet Pill too much that I… Hmm? Suddenly, when he thought of the Puppet Pill, Wei Changtian realized another problem.
How did Du Chang unlock the puppet pill? And what about the three deputy generals? ? Unlike Yang Liushi, Wei Changtian did not dwell on this matter for too long and soon came up with a guess.
Or maybe the answer is already obvious.
Du Chang was able to cure the poison, but there was the scent of puppet pill on his body, which undoubtedly meant that he had taken another puppet pill that was not loyal to him.
The same goes for the three deputy generals.
The four of them must have taken the second puppet pill, and the person they pledged their allegiance to was specifically the person behind Du Chang - Lu Hongji.
This means that Kuilong also has puppet pills.
"well"
Sighing helplessly, Wei Changtian was actually not surprised by this.
After all, many items in the system are not "unique".
The Qingjue Jade Pendant, the True Dragon Forehead Scales, the Eclipse Beads, and so on, all have "same" items in the real world. Wei Changtian even often uses the system as an "identifier" to determine the value of the treasures he has obtained.
Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that a mysterious organization like Kuilong has Puppet Pills.
It is even possible that someone will be able to take out a "divine strike talisman" in the future. Taking out a small wooden box from his arms and looking at the black pill inside, Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead in frustration.
Actually, all of the above are fine.
Although Du Chang rebelled, at least he was exposed early and nothing happened to the Tengu Army.
As for the Tiao Yue Sword Manual that had fallen into Lu Hongji's hands, that was already in the past and there was no point in regretting it now.
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is Chu Xianping.
The truth will come out in five days . What will happen?
Wei Changtian frowned and thought hard, but after a long time he still couldn't figure it out.
Just as the night was about to pass and a ray of morning light was already appearing outside the window, the mother-and-child jade in his arms became hot again, bringing another piece of important news.
A quarter of an hour ago, Du Chang's life tablet stored in the Great Shu Military Department was broken.
