Chapter 282 Marshal's Plan
"Doctor Su, it's just a game, just pass it." Just when Luo Tian didn't know what to do, Marshal Zhou spoke with displeasure.
After all, Luo Tian was his most loyal subordinate. If he really died, it would be of no benefit to him.
As for why he agreed to the bet before, he naturally wanted to take the life of Doctor Su Yian.
After all, Su Yian knew too much. Murdering court officials was a serious crime. Killing him without angering Su Yian was indeed the best strategy.
I just didn't expect things to develop to this extent.
"Marshal Zhou, what you said means that if this young doctor had lost just now, would he have died?"
Shangguan Nanxing spoke softly at this time. His Yue'er had already solved the most important part at the beginning, so the rest would naturally be left to him.
"Third Prince, this is not what I meant. These are just their jokes. Don't you think so, Su Yian?"
After Marshal Zhou finished speaking, he looked at Su Yue sternly, trying to force him to agree with him.
"That's not what Marshal Zhou said before." Su Yue pretended to be confused and muttered aggrievedly, which sounded like aggrieved to outsiders.
"You..." Luo Tian saw that Marshal Zhou stood up for him, and this young doctor was so bold that he drew his sword and rushed towards Su Yue.
"Captain Luo, you are not angry because of shame, are you? Oh, this young doctor is really pitiful. Captain Luo, you are not going to kill him to silence him, are you?"
Seeing that Luo Tian wanted to get closer to Su Yue, Yang Junfeng took a few steps and unintentionally stood in front of Su Yue.
"Marshal Zhou, I think you are not a person who does not keep your word. Otherwise, as a marshal of a country, how can you shoulder such an important responsibility if you do not have the word trust?"
Shangguan Nanxing looked at Marshal Zhou and continued to exert pressure on him, even to the point of questioning whether Marshal Zhou was worthy of the position of marshal.
Marshal Zhou was stunned when he heard Shangguan Nanxing's words. He really didn't expect that the Third Prince would raise this matter to such a high level.
"If the Marshal cannot bear to be ruthless, then I can do it for you." General Yang saw it all clearly from beginning to end, and he knew that Su Yue was one of his own, so he naturally guessed some things.
"General Yang?" Luo Tian was stunned. He didn't expect General Yang to get involved.
"Luo Tian, you are a real man. You are willing to accept defeat. Eighteen years later, you are a real man again!"
General Yang looked at Luo Tian with an expression so serious that it made people feel that he was not persuading him to die, but rather persuading him to do something for the sake of national justice.
"Marshal Zhou..." Luo Tian felt the murderous intentions of so many people towards him, and he lost his previous arrogance. He turned his head and looked at Marshal Zhou with pleading eyes.
"Marshal Zhou, if you really saved Luo Tian, then to put it bluntly, you are unworthy of your position. I am very interested in telling my father about this matter. I think my father will also be interested in making a judgment."
Seeing that Marshal Zhou was still hesitating, Shangguan Nanxing directly pretended to be the emperor and forced him to agree.
Marshal Zhou was already conflicted. Killing Luo Tian was equivalent to cutting off one of his own arms, but the current situation forced him to make a decision.
"Marshal Zhou, let me put it this way. I am being too aggressive. This bowl of water just passed over Luo Shan's little finger. Captain Luo just said it is not poisonous. How about Captain Luo drink this bowl of water and leave everything to fate?"
Just when Marshal Zhou was hesitating, Su Yue held the water and looked at Marshal Zhou with a smile.
"That's a good idea. Drink it, Luo Tian." When Marshal Zhou saw that the young doctor came up with such an idea, he stopped worrying about it. After all, he thought it was just poisoning. Even if it was poisonous, timely treatment was needed.
"Yes, Marshal!" Luo Tian also knew that he was in a difficult situation. Looking at the water Su Yue brought over, he swallowed the nausea and drank it all in one gulp.
"This..." Yang Junfeng wanted to say something, but when he met Su Yue's eyes, he immediately understood what Su Yue meant.
"Alright, it's settled. Third Prince, shall we all go home?" Marshal Zhou saw Luo Tian drink the water and concealed his panic. He just wanted them to leave as soon as possible and then take Luo Tian to see a doctor for treatment.
As for Su Yue, Marshal Zhou would naturally not let her come for treatment.
Besides, even if Su Yue was asked to treat him, she wouldn't really do it.
"Well, let's all go." Shangguan Nanxing's expression looked better when he saw Luo Tian drink the poison water. He directly signaled that everyone could leave.
"Go find Doctor Zhao for treatment quickly." When Marshal Zhou saw that everyone had left, he directly gave instructions to Luo Tian, who had a grim look on his face.
When Luo Tian heard what Marshal Zhou said, he naturally knew that the Marshal did not want him to die, so he ran out of the tent quickly.
Su Yue, who was not far away, watched Luo Tian run out of the tent with a sinister smile on his face.
Did he really think that someone could detoxify him?
In addition to Luo Shan's poison, she added a colorless and odorless medicine to the bowl without anyone noticing.
Luo Tian, you are dead tonight!
At dawn, the marshal was awakened by a burst of urgent voices and two secret letters were placed in front of him.
At this time, the marshal looked at the burning incense again, with a satisfied look on his face. He slept uneasily as usual last night, thinking of the incense that the young doctor gave him.
He originally wanted to ask another doctor to see it, but thinking of Su Yian's servile look, he probably didn't dare to do anything stupid, so he lit the fire. Unexpectedly, not long after lighting it, he slept until dawn.
He looked at the letters in front of him again and realized that one of them was an urgent letter.
The marshal then opened the expedited letter and his face darkened after reading it.
Then he opened another letter.
After reading, he put both letters down.
I looked up at the slightly brighter sky outside the door.
"Call the deputy commander, and check if Captain Luo is okay." After saying this, Marshal Zhou turned and went to the inner room.
"Marshal, are you looking for your subordinates?" When the deputy marshal arrived, Marshal Zhou was already dressed neatly. He sat on a chair with the two previous letters in front of him, without saying a word.
"Your Highness, Captain Luo...he..." At this time another soldier came in with a panicked look on his face.
"Got it. Go down." Marshal Zhou's expression remained unchanged. Looking at the soldier's face, he guessed that Luo Tian was probably dead.
The deputy commander standing by had a look of understanding on his face. He was also present when Luo Tian made the bet last night.
"There's news from the palace." Marshal Zhou suppressed his emotions and said in a cold voice.
"But it was successful?" The deputy commander was stunned, then delighted.
This time, the Marshal sent several trusted confidants to Dongyou.
"Well, they asked us to find a way to keep the third prince forever and not let him go back." Marshal Zhou looked at his deputy marshal and told him the contents of the letter.
"Any other instructions?" The deputy marshal was stunned, but immediately understood what the marshal meant. Seeing the two letters on the table, he asked another question.
"Get rid of Gu Qingzhi." Marshal Zhou said this and raised his head to look in the direction of Gu Qingzhi's tent.
"These two things are not easy to handle. After all, the two generals' troops in this camp are enough to compete with us, and we have sent some people away..."
After hearing what Marshal Zhou said, the deputy commander's eyes were filled with worry.
"Gu Qingzhi is easy to deal with. Just find a scapegoat." Marshal Zhou thought of Su Yian, and murderous intent filled his body.
It was Su Yian who caused all the trouble last night. That’s why the stakes were so high, otherwise Luo Tian wouldn’t have gotten into trouble.
Since this kid doesn't want to live anymore, then he might as well squeeze out all the remaining value from him.
