Chapter 53 Qin Xian is poisoned
April 22nd, the fifth day after the two armies moved to another place to fight.
The summer wind was howling. Hu Yande, the King of Beirong, who was entrenched at the southern foot of the Yin Mountains, looked to the north. This vast area of mountains and plains was still lush and green even though it had been repeatedly trampled by wars.
He ordered: "Gather all the troops and horses, take the Longxi Road and Shangyuanling, and march along the southern side of the Dongbi Mountain to plunder military equipment."
Soon, the hurried sounds of horse hooves and footsteps swept towards the east, west, and southwest like thunder!
The Northern Rong people's fighting style was different from that of the Wei Dynasty. They had more cavalry and the grasslands were far less fertile than those in the Central Plains. They would not carry too much baggage and military supplies. After breaking through the pass, they often resorted to looting while fighting to replenish the war consumption.
Every major war is a devastating disaster for the entire war zone.
The Wei army undoubtedly pursued and blocked the enemy, so in every battle with the Northern Rong, the decisive battles often took place in the process of expelling and stopping the Northern Rong from looting.
Seeing that the battle situation was evenly matched, Hu Yande immediately changed his strategy and began to plunder from small to large areas.
Of course, the Wei side immediately started an interception war.
Overtly and covertly, the situation is on the verge of breaking out.
…
Xie Ci, Qin Xian and others have long been accustomed to the frequent pursuits and high-intensity battles. In addition to Bei Rong, they also need to be on high alert to deal with Lu Xinyi.
There was no conversation that night until early the next morning, when Qin Xian and Chen Yan led the Lingzhou and Yunzhou armies back to the camp after the battle, full of murderous intent.
There had been frequent battles in recent days, and it was rare for important figures on their side to gather together. Qin Xian and Chen Yan only did some cleaning and bandaging before hurriedly heading to their real main tent.
When Gu Guan lifted the curtain and entered the tent, not everyone was there yet. Xie Ci was standing next to the lamppost on the side of the main desk, listening to Xie Yun and Qin Ying whispering something. Just as they finished speaking, he heard the curtain move and immediately looked up.
Their eyes met.
Xie Ci's spine tensed, but he controlled himself to relax and smiled: "Are you here?"
He gave Xie Yun a few instructions, and Xie Yun quickly left. Xie Ci walked towards Gu Wan and asked casually, "Have you had breakfast?"
Xie Ci behaved exactly as usual, without showing the slightest sign of abnormality, but when he asked with a smile, Gu Wan's heart skipped a beat.
She has been through it all, and she is 100% sure that it is impossible to recover so quickly.
If the kids in kindergarten say "I like you" and then get punched in the face, they will be angry for two days.
She thought to herself, "Oh shit!"
Gu Guan immediately realized that Xie Ci was not what he seemed to be, and his feelings were not the naive and momentary affection of a young man as she had hoped yesterday.
“…”
"Yes, I have. This morning I had corn cakes and pickles."
If she was not around, Xie Ci's food would often not be much better than that of ordinary soldiers. The reason why he did not eat directly from the same pot with the soldiers was simply because Xie Xinzhong and his son used to sleep and eat with the soldiers in every camp, and he was reluctant to show it.
After Gu Wan found out, he quickly told the logistics soldiers not to give her any special treatment and to treat her the same as everyone else.
However, when the two of them were eating, there were still meat and vegetables. In fact, because she ate poorly in private, he even prepared a more sumptuous meal.
Xie Ci kept putting meat into her bowl, and she also kept putting meat into his bowl, worried that he would suffer from the excessive consumption.
Thinking back on all this now, she is filled with emotion. But no matter what, Gu Wan can't delay thanking her any longer. She knows that the deeper his feelings are, the more cautious and worried she will be.
A thought flashed through Gu Wan's mind, and she felt an indescribable feeling. She sighed in her heart, but did not show anything immediately. She smiled and chatted with Xie Ci for a few more words.
Qin Xian arrived soon.
He and Chen Yan still carried the murderous aura of having just returned from the battlefield. Qin Xian's jaw was scratched by a stray arrow, the red mark was not deep, and he didn't even use medicine. After everyone gathered, when Lu Xinyi's name was mentioned, he stood up and walked a few steps in the tent angrily. He couldn't help but kick the table hard and overturned it, shouting hatefully: "What a Lu Xinyi! This ungrateful son of a bitch——"
There was a deep silence in the tent.
After the Yehe Ancient Chime was exchanged, everyone present had already learned about Lu Xinyi a few days ago. No matter how complicated and angry they were, they had calmed down in a few days. Chen Yan said in a serious tone: "What should we do next?"
Knowing Lu Xinyi was a great thing, and they immediately turned their attention to the other party. However, at this time, the other party must have been trying to kill them.
There is also the Northern Rong King Hu Yande who is keeping his troops idle outside. Chen Yan agrees with Xie Ci and Xun Xiao's judgment. He also believes that Xun Xun has been lurking for such a long time, and he is still fighting bravely at this time. He holds the commander-in-chief Lu Xinyi under his control and has to spend a lot of time to arrange him every time. It can be seen that he is a very thoughtful person. The Northern Rong's deployment on the Wei side must not be exhausted yet, and they still have a backup plan!
How to deal with and resolve Lu Xinyi step by step is the most difficult problem.
All things are difficult at the beginning.
"Moreover, on the Beirong side, Xun Xun must have placed someone around Lu Xinyi." Chen Yan's judgment was the same as Xie Ci and Xun Xiao's.
The problem now is that they don’t know what Xun Xiao has arranged.
At this time, Xie Ci spoke up and said, "I also have someone on Lu Xinyi's side."
After the incident with the Xie family, Xie Jiawei sacrificed many people before he finally found a spy. Xie Yun and others learned about Lu Xinyi's various improper activities in recent years, which led to his attitude change. The news was sent by the spy.
Xun Xiao, who had been standing in the shadows on one side of the tent, said in a hoarse voice, "We might as well lure the snake out of its hole."
In the current situation, all three parties are moving, whether they want to lure the snake out of its hole or for other reasons. If they want to seize the initiative, the best way is to get some clues about Lu Xinyi in advance.
At this time, the intelligence from this spy is crucial.
Chen Yan was delighted and immediately said, "Young General, send more people to cooperate with this man inside and outside!"
Xie Ci had exactly this in mind. The day before yesterday, he had already asked Xie Feng to concentrate on this matter. Now the focus had shifted and he was on high alert. He wanted to send another person in charge to bring some reinforcements to Xie Feng.
Gu Wan had been quiet the whole time, but upon hearing this, she immediately raised her hand: "I'll go!"
Qin Xian and his men had to go to the battlefield, while Qin Guan, Chen Luo and others had to escape but were unfamiliar with the situation and it was not convenient. The most suitable candidates were her and Qin Ying.
This is a good opportunity! She almost immediately thought that this was a good opportunity for her and Xie Ci to create some distance.
This is good. It can get the job done and it also suits her needs.
Gu Guan rushed to raise his hand and stand up, but he was a little slow. Qin Ying was a little surprised, but Xie Ci was shocked. As smart as he was, he immediately realized that she might have discovered something.
He exposed himself.
Xie Ci, who had never had any emotional experience, tried his best to hide it, but his immaturity still exposed it. But Gu Wan, who was as perceptive as he was, found an opportunity to retreat quietly after noticing it.
Qin Ying looked at Xie Ci, the head monk with drooping eyelids, and then looked at Gu Wan beside her. She couldn't help but frown secretly, but she couldn't care about anything else now. She immediately stood up and said, "I'll go too."
It's hard to describe the feeling Xie Ci had right now. A heavy burden weighed on him, a sense of national hatred and family vengeance swirled within him, and a surge of discomfort rose within him. Even though he had mentally prepared himself, considering what to do if the truth were revealed, at this moment, his hands, resting on the table, clenched into fists.
Xie Ci tried his best to control his expression. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, then you should leave immediately."
Gu Wan smiled at Xie Ci as if nothing had happened. She and Qin Ying turned around, and their backs quickly disappeared behind the curtain blown by the wind.
Xie Ci could only sit where he was, watching her youthful figure move swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, she was gone and out of sight.
But he could say nothing, could do nothing, and could only let the hot wind blowing through the tent envelop him.
Xie Ci's Adam's apple rolled up and down for a moment, and he tried his best to control his emotions and turned his eyes away from the tent door. "Let's continue."
…
The Wei army’s central camp and the commander-in-chief’s tent.
Lu Xinyi paced back and forth in the tent in a somewhat restless manner. In the huge tent, besides Chen Fen and other trusted guards, there were also several trusted staff members. Although there were many people, it was silent and the atmosphere was heavy.
After days of adjusting the military deployment and the battle situation, Lu Xinyi slept less than two hours a day, often working all night, and his face was full of fatigue. However, besides the army and the fierce battle, he also had another crucial matter to occupy his mind.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Lu Xinyi's eyebrows twitched twice. The black-armored major general was undoubtedly Xie Ci! The dark figure that rolled past like thunder in the rainstorm that day was still vivid in his mind. Lu Xinyi felt a sharp thorn in his back, as urgent as a shadow.
This Xie family is really his nemesis!
This Xie Ci can't be killed no matter what!
But he didn't even have the space to investigate, as the matter of Major General Black Armor had been instantly overshadowed by the frequent and intense battles.
How can we eliminate Xie Ci, Qin Xian and other leading figures in Dongying at one stroke without having much impact on the overall situation?
This war is the best time.
However, in the midst of frequent wars, it is not easy to find or create the right opportunity to achieve this goal.
What Lu Xinyi has to deal with now is Xie Ci, Qin Xian and his gang, but he cannot cause excessive harm to the troops of the four states of Lingyun, Suding and Ding, otherwise the situation of the war will take a turn for the worse immediately.
Finally, on the night of April 23rd, the day after Beirong adjusted their battle strategy, Lu Xinyi waited for the most suitable opportunity.
That evening, a fast horse arrived from Fan Yang and delivered a message to the camp.
Chen Fen quickly brought two people in.
There is good news!
Over the years, Lu Xinyi has also recruited many talented people, including staff members, clerks, craftsmen, doctors, etc., as well as seven extraordinary people with various skills.
Before the army set out on this expedition, after realizing the difficulty of Xie Ci Qin Xian, Lu Xinyi thought about it and sent a letter back to his old nest Fan Yang, asking those who were good at medicine and pharmacy to research a medicine that could make people sick but not fatal.
"Master, Shi Yi and Cao Hua are here! They said the medicine has been successfully developed."
Shi Yi was another confidant of Lu Xinyi who stayed in Fan Yang. Chen Fen took Shi Yi and quickly entered the main tent. Lu Xinyi, who had just dozed off in the inner tent, suddenly opened his eyes.
“Come in quickly!”
Lu Xinyi turned over and sat up, stepping barefoot on the top of his boots. Chen Fenshiyi strode in quickly, knelt on one knee with a "clack", and presented a small white porcelain bottle with a look of joy. "It's a little cloudy, but it's undetectable when mixed with wine or tea. Cao Hua said this substance can cause blood clots and rise to the brain. Initially, you'll feel unwell but still be able to cope, but then you'll become seriously ill and collapse."
Shi Yi's face lit up with joy: "I've tested it in Fanyang and on the way, and the efficacy is indeed just as Cao Hua said!"
In other words, after taking this medicine, the patient will develop symptoms of thrombosis, which is not fatal and the patient can still move at first, but will soon become seriously ill and unable to recover. The effect of the medicine will not begin to wear off until at least half a month later.
"More than half a month is enough!"
The tired look on Lu Xinyi's face finally disappeared, and he was overjoyed: "Good, very good! There will be huge rewards!"
"It seems that God is on my side!"
He held up the small white porcelain vase, the candlelight from the outer tent shining in. The white vase was plain in color but lustrous. A look of determination finally appeared on his face, but he suddenly retracted it, "Have Lu Da find someone to come over immediately. I'll try it myself."
Soon, Lu Xinyi tried the medicine himself and found that the effect was good, almost tailor-made for Qin Xian.
That's right, Lu Xinyi's medicine is for Qin Xian! It would be best if he could also take Chen Yan, Su Zhen, and the others with him, but if that's not possible, Qin Xian alone would be enough.
——After Zhao Heng's death, Qin Xian became the leader of Xie's old army, holding the highest military rank and possessing the greatest power. Under his protection and that of Chen Yan and others, Xie Ci was invincible.
And this thank you must be in Dongying at this moment.
Guo Liang, a trusted aide, showed a delighted expression: "My Lord, the next step of dividing our forces and pursuing them is the perfect opportunity."
"That's right," Lu Xinyi's eyes gleamed. "We can divide our forces and issue orders, then drink a cup of resolution wine in the main tent and put the drug in it!"
The so-called "determination wine," similar to the oath-taking wine, can be either tea or wine and is a common practice in the military. Under military orders, a full cup of wine is drunk and then thrown to the ground, shattering it, to show the determination to win the battle.
Now the Northern Rong troops are divided into three groups and charging left and right. The battlefield is moving farther and farther. If nothing unexpected happens, the Great Wei will soon divide its forces and launch a three-pronged war.
Just in these two days!
Lu Xinyi lowered his eyes to look at the battle map. "Then let Cheng Lizhang and Liang Fen maneuver on the side. Once the four states of Lingyun are defeated, our goal will be achieved. Then, immediately let Cheng Lizhang take over the troops of the four states and control the situation."
Duke Cheng Lizhang of England has always remained neutral. Recently, in the incident of Major General Heijia, Cheng Lizhang also smoothed things over in Dongying on behalf of Xie Ci Qin Xian.
The troops from the four Lingyun states and Qin Yong and others will definitely not resist Cheng Lizhang.
…
Both sides made their moves cautiously and with all their might without affecting the overall situation.
Whether it is Xie Ci or Lu Xinyi.
Late that night, Gu Guan, along with Xie Zi and other guards, brought back important news on horseback!
"Our people received word that someone from Fanyang seemed to be coming this evening! Immediately afterwards, the commander's tent summoned a man, who was carried back shortly afterwards. He suffered a headache and discomfort, and showed signs of blood vessel obstruction. His condition had been worsening until I returned."
Gu Guan glanced at Xie Ci who hurried out. The lights in the big tent were quickly lit and everyone in the tent quickly rushed over. The two looked at each other and Gu Guan smiled.
She continued speaking quickly, "But we believe this person should be fine."
Things should get better later on.
Xie Jiawei's spy is among Lu Xinyi's personal guards. He is not too close to them and has no right to know such personal secrets, but as he is among them, he can still know some things vaguely.
He came alone from Fanyang without any large or small boxes. He only carried important letters and messages, or small items such as medicine.
Judging from the people who were carried back, it was undoubtedly medicine.
In a hurry, Lu Xinyi directly called a person from his guards to test the medicine. He did not destroy the body but carried it back and laid it down. Therefore, Xie Feng, Gu Wan and others judged that the person should get better after the effect of the medicine wore off, otherwise it would be easy for the guards around him to hurt him.
Gu Wan gasped: "What should we do now?"
She was sweating profusely. Xie Ci paused, lowered his eyes, and handed her a cup of tea from the main table. This was Xie Ci's teacup. They had shared it during difficult times before, so they weren't so shy about it later. But now, Gu Wan could only bite the bullet and take it. He smiled and drank half of it as if nothing had happened.
Xie Ci had thought about it, and there was nothing he could do now. He could only try his best to adjust himself to meet Gu Wan's standards. He thought that this slight distance might be the best way for him to test the rules, so he finally suppressed it.
Now I just hope this stage can pass as soon as possible.
Xun Xiao, wearing a gray cotton cloak, suddenly raised his eyes and said, "The snake is moving."
The three parties are like a taut string, and no one knows who will break whom in the end?
Xie Ci thought for a moment and quickly said, "This medicine should be placed in the main tent after the troops are divided. Decision wine!"
Xun Xiao thought for a moment, then quickly said, "I suggest that Qin Xian drink this wine, hold it in his mouth, and spit it out when he returns."
Gu Wan's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately said, "Isn't it bad? Don't forget that there are still people from Beirong. We still don't know what arrangements Xun Xun has made with Lu Xinyi. What if they are human beings and they replace the wine with poison?"
"That's why I asked you to hold it in your mouth and then spit it out." Xun Xiao said.
They now have two choices, either avoid the wine or drink it, but the former continues to be passive, "and we are likely to expose this important spy immediately."
Lu Xinyi was on high alert. If Qin Xian refused to go, his trick would soon be figured out! Even if Lu Xinyi couldn't capture him immediately, it would be easy to replace him with another batch.
Their only advantage would be lost in an instant.
Drinking this wine, although it was a risk, turned inaction into initiative. Xun Xiao said coldly: "If Beirong has someone close to Lu Xinyi, we can just look for this person."
If everyone gets moving, it is both a danger and an opportunity.
"If we successfully find this person and catch him red-handed, Lu Xinyi will be able to escape the crime of murdering his generals."
Even if no evidence of his past smuggling conspiracy can be found in the future, he can be brought to justice based on this charge alone!
Xun Xiao sneered: "Besides, you can avoid it for a while, but can you avoid it forever?"
His eyes were cold, but Xun Xiao had a sharp mind. In fact, he had already thought of the subsequent situation in another direction in an instant. A beautiful face flashed before his eyes, and he pursed his lips for a moment, hiding his expression without saying anything.
Xie Ci raised his eyes, glanced at him, and frowned.
"But I think it's still a bit risky." Gu Guan frowned and said, Xun Xiao said this, it is indeed difficult, if this spy is exposed again, they will be in a very passive position.
But no matter what, she didn't quite agree with Qin Xian drinking this wine. She felt that Xun Xiao's plan was a bit radical.
Xun Xiao sneered, "Dangerous? When isn't it dangerous?"
Gu Guan was speechless for a moment. Now they really knew that even if they did nothing, they might be in danger at any moment.
Xun Xiao was right. He could avoid the wine once, but not the second time. For example, the last time the third and fourth princes met Qin Yong, they were rewarded with many gifts, all of which came from the hands of the commander, Lu Xinyi.
Among them was a table of imperial meals and a small bottle of imperial wine. These gifts had to be eaten in person after expressing gratitude.
What if Lu Xinyi incites the two princes to grant it again?
Then they will be in a very passive position.
But Xun Xiao's approach was too hawkish. He intended to push this muddy water vigorously and then wait for an opportunity to act.
Qin Xian wanted to speak, but Xie Ci raised his hand. He pondered for a moment and said, "Let's wait for further news."
…
The second message was sent back quickly!
It was brought back by Qin Ying herself.
"We've noticed unusual activity from one of Lu Xinyi's attendants. He's had two consecutive contacts with a lieutenant named Yan Ao within the span of just one day. Our people are already investigating! This person is most likely someone Xun Xun and Beirong have planted with Lu Xinyi!"
Qin Xian stood up suddenly, "Okay!"
He immediately looked up at Xie Ci and said, "Major General, please let me go!"
Now this risk is worth taking!
Qin Xian took two steps out of the line, knelt on one knee with a "bang", and looked up to thank him.
Xie Ci thought for a moment, and Qin Xian became anxious: "Major General!!"
Xie Ci finally stood up, took a quick step down, and helped Qin Xian up. "Okay."
"As you say."
…
Next, everyone in Dongying began to make intensive preparations for this matter.
Gu Guan immediately began to teach Qin Xian a technique, how to speak while holding a sip of wine and trying not to show any abnormality.
This kind of situation where you are just an inch away from success but suddenly fall into danger is simply too dangerous. It is much more thrilling and exciting than gambling on stones.
They had nothing to refer to or rely on, and everything was done by feeling their way forward.
Every effort has been made to weigh the judgment.
This time, Xie Jiawei, Liuyunwei, Chen Yan, Kou Wenshao and Su Zhen's men put all their efforts into investigation, cooperating from inside and outside.
Finally, when Xie Feng returned with a message saying that he was sure he could intercept the medicine that the general was handing over to the attendant and capture the man in time, everyone unanimously agreed to Qin Xian's adventure.
They won't get a better chance!
After the rain, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature suddenly rose, just like the current turbulent situation.
…
However, no one knew that Xun Xun had placed more than one person around Lu Xinyi.
The moment he discovered the traces of drugs, the man with eagle eyes and hawk nose stood up suddenly. Xun Xun didn't know the details, but he almost immediately judged the undercurrent around Lu Xinyi at this moment.
He almost laughed wildly towards the sky: "God help me! God help me, hahaha——"
"I knew it, I knew it, it will happen to Lu Xinyi sooner or later! As expected, as expected, hahahaha——"
It is not easy to place people and secret agents. Xie Jiawei sacrificed countless manpower, worked hard and spent nearly two years before he successfully set up a spy who was not too close.
The same was true for Xun Xun. Even though he had Huyan De's full support, there were so many emerging figures in the Northern Frontier at that time, and he could only choose one. After considering for half a month, Xun Xun finally chose Lu Xinyi.
Facts have proved that his judgment was correct!
Xun Xun laughed wildly, and as soon as he stopped, he immediately ordered, "Send the message back immediately!"
…
The Northern Rong army.
Hu Yande, the King of Beirong, whose scimitar was still stained with blood after a counter-interception battle, took the secret letter and looked at it. He almost immediately said, "Good! Very good--"
He stopped laughing, his eyes bright, "Our chance has finally come!"
"Reply to the letter and send Yan'ao to them! Send a message to Deng Qin, starting from the oath-taking platform, and replace the medicine with Gelsemium elegans!"
There is a kind of poison in the royal court of Beirong, which is made from seven extremely toxic insects and seven flowers. Each kind of insect and flower is a rare poison in the world, and no one knows how to refine it until now. The last few bottles are treasured in the royal court. They were refined by the high priest of the royal court who was killed by Huyan De. After the latter's death, the prescription and refining method were lost.
This time, the invasion to the south was also included.
And this Deng Qin is not even Lu Xinyi's man.
Hu Yande's mind raced, and he rejected half of Xun Xun's plan.
He judged that Lu Xinyi must be extremely wary of them. He might make a feint first and not even attack the people around him as planned.
Instead, he called a halt temporarily, went to the oath-taking platform to make sure that the wine would be served, and then asked his confidant to drug the wine before it was served.
Moreover, when serving the last round of wine, in order to prevent Xie Ci and others from turning against him and leaving evidence, he should hand it over to the people on the oath-taking platform.
This Deng Qin is one of the guards of the Oath Stone Platform.
Hu Yande's eyes were sharp: "Let Xun Xun activate all his spies and make sure to monitor all changes!"
He immediately mobilized his troops, and the Northern Rong troops secretly moved to meet Lu Xinyi's deployment.
…
The Northern Rong cavalry charged left and right, very maneuverably and flexibly, and quickly bypassed the blockade of the Wei army and headed straight for the east, west, southwest and three directions to plunder.
When locusts pass through, they almost clear the entire countryside except for the villagers who take refuge in the mountains in time.
Of course, the Wei army quickly divided its troops and pursued them.
The distance between them was getting farther and farther, and soon the troops had to split into three groups.
"Alright, next, Qin Xian, Cheng Lizhang, Zheng Shoufang, Bai Zhaoxi, and I, and you will each lead an army. After discussion, immediately lead your troops to pursue the Northern Rong! No mistakes!"
"We must be extremely cautious. We must not be careless, we must not be lazy, and we must not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!"
"I obey your orders!!"
Lu Xinyi repeatedly warned, and the crowd responded with a clang of approval. Except for those still fighting outside, all the generals who could come had arrived, including Qin Xian and Chen Yan. In reality, it was impossible for them all to avoid the attack.
Everyone took the command from Yu Fu and knelt down in unison in response.
Finally, Lu Xinyi changed the subject and asked for wine bottles. Soon, bottles of wine were presented one after another. Lu Xinyi stood up and said, "Everyone, drink this cup to the full! We will not return until we win this battle--"
Apart from the oath-taking wine bestowed by the emperor, the turbid low-alcohol rice wine was the army's special oath-taking wine for the decisive battle. Lu Xinyi was the first to raise the wine bottle, drink it all in one gulp, and throw the wine glass to the ground with great force, sending broken porcelain flying!
"We will not return until we win this battle—"
Everyone below shouted in unison!
Qin Xian was standing in the front row, right in front of Lu Xinyi. After drinking loudly, he raised his head to drink, turned the glass over and threw it to the ground, sending broken porcelain flying all over the floor.
Lu Xinyi's eyes moved away from the broken porcelain and fell on Qin Xian's face like lightning, "Qin Xian, are you determined?"
"have!"
Qin Xian saluted with a "pa" sound, lowered his head slightly, and said something in a deep voice.
After hearing what Qin Xian said, Lu Xinyi smiled, then put it away: "Very good, everyone, march immediately!"
"Go!"
"yes!"
…
The thunder of military boots and horse hooves was heard, and all the camps in the east, south, west, north and center had already deployed their troops and were waiting. Except for the 30,000 soldiers who stayed behind in the main camp, they would quickly enter a state of forced march.
Under the oath-taking platform, the generals threw their talismans and cups, then immediately turned around and left.
The army poured out like a tide.
As soon as Qin Xian left the oath-taking platform, Qin Guan immediately opened a marked oilcloth bag, and Qin Xian immediately spat out the wine in his mouth, and Qin Guan immediately sealed it with wax.
Qin Xian immediately rinsed his mouth several times.
Then he mounted his horse and galloped out of the gate, but something unexpected happened!
Qin Xian was riding on a galloping warhorse, and his figure swayed slightly.
Gu Guan was the first to notice something was wrong.
Because she had been following Qin Xian closely with her medicine bag on her back, staring at him closely, she didn't care to hide her feelings at this moment: "General Qin——"
Xie Ci suddenly turned around!
Qin Xian's face looked a little dark, as if covered with a layer of gray haze, and was not noticeable in the night. But he shook, and suddenly "puff" spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
Qin Xian spat out several mouthfuls of blood, his tall body swayed, and he suddenly fell off the horse.
For a moment, my eyes were bloodshot.
——They had just received a message from Xie Feng and had successfully captured the attendant at lightning speed. Before that, they had ensured that the medicine secretly handed over by the deputy general was successfully replaced.
If the attendant had given the drug, its effect would have been even weaker, almost to zero.
Whether it was Lu Xinyi's own medicine or his attendant's medicine, it had no effect on Qin Xian and the situation, and they could still use the same trick against him.
But who knew that something unexpected would happen and things would take a turn for the worse!
Xie Ci and Gu Guan were horrified. They had their own thoughts before, one planning to keep a proper distance and the other to suppress his emotions and endure. However, the sudden change in the situation was like fate, pushing them together heavily in the next moment!
The two men rode their horses quickly and rushed to Qin Xian's side almost at the same time. Xie Ci leaned over and grabbed Qin Xian, who was about to fall to the ground, and pulled him onto his horse's back. He was faster than Qin Guan and Qin Yong who were guarding Qin Xian.
Gu Wan rushed over the next second. She threw herself on Xie Ci's horseback, clamped her legs around the reins, supported Qin Xian with one hand, leaned over to look, and held Xie Ci's hand tightly with the other hand. Their fingers were intertwined at that moment, "How is he?!"
Looking closely, Qin Xian's face turned dark.
Obviously it's not good!
