Bai Suzi told Zhou Fuan all these words.

After listening to this, Zhou Fuan pondered for a while.

"We have to go, no matter how hard it is. No matter what happens next, it's better than waiting to die here."

As soon as Zhou Fuan made the decision, Ji Tai sent someone to ask for news.

Ji Tai and Lu Zan learned about Zhou Fuan's arrangement. Ji Tai waved his hand and Lu Zan nodded, "Well, let's follow Zhou Fuan into the mountains and take the mountain path to Yangcheng."

Lu Zan thought for a moment, and then said to Ji Tai, "Just now there was an earthquake, and there was a mudslide. I feel that this place is not safe either. It is too close to the mudslide. Let's take people further into the mountains. Choose a flatter place with more rocks and less soil, or a place with lush trees to rest."

Lu Zan thought more than Ji Tai. He felt that the rain was too heavy. He had been traveling day and night for the past two days. Not to mention the prisoners, the Zhao guards couldn't handle it either. Moreover, the Zhao prison prisoners they were escorting were not like the exiled prisoners escorted by Zhou Fuan. They had no relatives or families to send them money, clothes, or food.

These past few days, these prisoners have been wearing shackles and chains, wearing only thin prison uniforms, and facing the heavy rain. Except for those who escaped, the remaining prisoners all had injuries, and the rain soaked their wounds, so many of them had fevers and their injuries worsened. Moreover, these prisoners were fed poison pills by General Gu, which would attack every three days.

"Do you have the antidote with you?"

Lu Zan suddenly thought of this. These prisoners had to take the antidote every three days, otherwise the poison would take effect and they would roll on the ground in pain and be unable to walk at all.

Ji Tai snorted coldly, "Those fools who ran away, when the poison pill takes effect, they will know how stupid it is to run away."

Lu Zan frowned.

"The ones who escaped, plus the ones who were seriously injured and died. A few more slipped down the mountain when we were climbing up. The number reported just now is only 163. Mrs. Ji, please have someone bring the antidote quickly. Put the antidote in the dinner and feed it to the prisoners later."

Ji Tai looked at Lu Zan in surprise.

"Why are you asking me? The prisoners are from your Zhaoyu Prison, and the poison was given by your Zhaoyu Prison. Of course, the antidote is also under your control. Why are you asking us the Imperial Guards? Lu Zan, let me remind you. We the Imperial Guards are under the order of the Emperor, pretending to be escorting, but in fact our mission is to find an opportunity to kill the Su Wang and his family. This mission should be the same as yours. These prisoners are under the charge of your Zhaowei, and their life and death are up to you. It has nothing to do with us the Imperial Guards."

"Before we set off, didn't I tell you that I put the antidote in the supply truck of your Imperial Guards?"

Lu Zan had a bad feeling. He was worried that someone among the prisoners would steal the antidote, after all, there were many criminals who were mixed up in the underworld. There were also many who were good at fighting. So he moved the antidote bag onto the material vehicle of the Imperial Army. Because the material vehicles of the Imperial Army were all covered with oil paper, they looked the same from the outside, and people who didn't know the inside story couldn't tell them apart. He had clearly told Ji Tai about it when they set out. Could it be that Ji Tai, this idiot, didn't take it seriously at all? He was always careful in his work, and he even sent a Zhaowei to watch the vehicle. Who knew that Zhaowei had eaten something bad yesterday and had diarrhea all the time, so he didn't keep an eye on it and couldn't recognize which vehicle it was.

He just found out about this when he asked Zhao Wei. Although he was unhappy, he was still thinking in his heart that fortunately he had told Ji Tai about it before leaving. Ji Tai knew which car they were in.

When he said he was going up the mountain, the antidote flashed through his mind. Because time was tight, he thought that no matter how stupid Ji was, he should know the importance of the bag of antidote. Besides, it was just a bag of antidote, and it was not heavy. It must have been mixed in with the supplies and carried up the mountain.

If he went to get it, he would get into trouble if he was seen by a criminal who was interested. That's why he didn't go to get the antidote.

Ji Tai glared at Lu Zan with disdain, as if to say, "Who do you think you are? You actually want to make my people work? You are so shameless."

It's over. Lu Zan's eyes suddenly turned black. Looking at the flood at the foot of the mountain, a chill rushed to his forehead.

The prisoners have to take the antidote tonight at midnight. If there is no antidote by then, these prisoners might rebel...

Lu Zan didn’t dare to think any further.

After all, the method used by Zhaoyu to control prisoners is the antidote. What else can they do? Among these prisoners, there are some very powerful bandits. If there is no antidote for them...

"Jitai, is there a doctor among the twenty imperial guards you lead?"

"The twenty guards I brought with me are all elite soldiers. We are responsible for killing the Su Wang and his family and the remnants of the crown prince along the way. We will return to the capital after completing our mission. Why do we bring a doctor with us?"

Ji Tai thought to himself, the emperor ordered us to follow the Su family all the way to Xiangqiao. When the Su family gets the Su family army token, we will kill the Su family and the prince's remnants, and we can go back to the capital to report. After passing Yangcheng and going north for 200 miles, we will reach Xiang County where Xiangqiao is located. We are all riding horses, so there is no need to bring a doctor.

But you, Lu Zan, not only have to participate in our killing of the Su and King families, but also have to lead these prisoners.

Ji Tai didn't know what order General Gu gave to Lu Zan. After the killing mission was completed, would these prisoners be taken to Xiangjun Prison on the spot? Or would they all be poisoned to death? In Ji Tai's opinion, according to the usual practice of Zhaoyu, the most likely possibility was that they would all be poisoned to death. They were originally tools to be buried with the dead, and they would die whether they took the antidote or not.

"You Zhaowei are so vicious and hypocritical. Why would you prepare an antidote for a dead person?"

Ji Tai has always been reckless and says whatever he thinks.

"Jitai, you are a reckless man!"

Lu Zan was so angry that his face turned pale.

"Without the antidote, we Zhaowei will die, and your imperial guards will die too."

After saying that, Lu Zan no longer looked at Ji Tai, and turned around and walked towards Zhou Fuan. He remembered that Zhou Fuan seemed to have several doctors. If it really didn't work, let those doctors think of a way to make some alternative antidotes. Although Lu Zan knew that the poison given by General Gu was definitely not something that ordinary people could cure. Otherwise, there were several powerful people among the prisoners, and they didn't dare to escape easily.

But the prisoners didn't know what the real antidote looked like, so when the time came, the doctors would make up a random substitute antidote, and the prisoners wouldn't know. Anyway, as long as he could drag it to Xiangjun, he would put these prisoners in Xiangjun jail and get away with it.

"Lu Zan, you coward, you only speak halfway. Why did we die? It was obviously you who poisoned us."
