Chapter 258 Burning People
You know, they are now relying on these troops to prepare for a fierce battle next year.
"General, this is the best solution I can think of. If we don't act now, the consequences will be disastrous."
Qi Daozhen said earnestly.
These are also what he really thinks.
There is no antidote for the poisonous insect. Once infected, if it is not burned in time, more people will die.
"Furthermore, this poisonous insect reproduces quickly. If we don't burn the city, it won't just be these soldiers who will die. It could be you, it could be me, or even the entire Manjing Kingdom. General..."
Qi Daozhen really didn't dare to continue with the following words.
Although Yang Zangzi and his brothers respected him, it was difficult for them to persuade him now that he had made such a big mistake.
What awaits him is most likely death.
Qi Daozhen can be said to see this very clearly.
"Hasn't the Imperial Master ever thought about developing an antidote?" Yang Kezi couldn't help but ask.
After hearing this, Yang Zangzi finally realized what was happening and echoed:
"National Master, Yu Mengqing is a woman, yet she managed to develop the antidote in just a few days. Are you trying to tell us that you are not even as good as Yu Mengqing?"
It was difficult for Qi Daozhen to ignore the contempt in Yang Zangzi's tone at this moment.
In fact, Qi Daozhen wanted to say, you three brothers are no match for a woman like her?
How do you say this?
But Qi Daozhen didn't have the courage to say this now.
He dared to guarantee that if he said this now, death would be waiting for him.
"The Imperial Master can't figure it out? Huh?" Yang Zangzi asked again.
It’s no wonder that Yang Zangzi said that. The current situation really doesn’t allow him to think too much.
"Report..."
When he was about to say something, the spy at the door came in again to report.
"Speak!" Yang Zangzi said sternly.
"Reporting to the General, more and more people are being poisoned. Even the military doctors... all four of them have..."
No matter what, even if the spy didn't say it, Yang Zangzi knew what he was going to say next.
After hearing this, Qi Daozhen also realized the seriousness of the matter.
If he doesn't burn the city down, the consequences will be something he can't bear.
"General, we can't delay any longer. If you hesitate for another quarter of an hour, hundreds of people may lose their lives."
"Brother..."
After closing his eyes for a while, Yang Zangzi finally gave the order.
"Burning..."
Following his order, cries of grief suddenly erupted outside the military camp...
"Yu Mengqing..."
Looking at the soldiers being thrown in one after another, Yang Zangzi murmured the name with gritted teeth.
"Brother..."
Yang Kezi on the side was also extremely heartbroken.
It's different from the military camp here.
At this time, Yu Mengqing had already started to deal with the cassava issue.
"Miss, are you sure this cassava can be eaten now?" Caiyun couldn't help but ask.
It's no wonder she asked this question, because when she went out for a walk these two days, many villagers told her not to eat cassava.
He even told her which family's children, which family's elders, and which family's women had been poisoned by this cassava...
The more Caiyun listened, the more frightened she became.
"You still don't trust me, your lady?" Yu Mengqing asked back.
As soon as these words came out, Caiyun seemed to realize what a stupid question she had asked.
Yes, since my young lady regained consciousness, when has she ever done anything unsure?
Thinking of this, Caiyun immediately took the recipe from Yu Mengqing and said, "Miss, I know how to make it."
There are several dishes in this recipe, and unsurprisingly, they are all recipes for making cassava.
The cassava in the wooden barrel had been soaked for two days according to Yu Mengqing's method.
In fact, in the end times, you only need to soak for half a day.
But for safety reasons, Yu Mengqing asked everyone to soak for two days.
Moreover, this cassava will be tried out first by their General's Mansion. In case of any accidents, she still has spiritual spring water.
So Yu Mengqing never thought that someone would die from cassava poisoning.
Looking at the recipe in her hand, Caiyun even handed it to the kitchen personally.
He looked as if he was afraid of something unexpected happening.
In fact, it was not only Caiyun who was nervous, but Chu Shiheng and the others were too.
After Chu Shiheng knew that Yu Mengqing had a way to deal with the toxins in the cassava, he was already very excited in his heart.
If this cassava is really edible, it can completely solve the most serious problem in the southwest.
The people are not able to get enough food, which is also the problem that Chu Shiheng is most worried about at the moment.
Everyone says that war is the cruelest thing, but in Chu Shiheng's eyes, the most cruel thing is the people after the war.
They are just some innocent victims.
But they made the greatest sacrifices in war.
In recent years, countless lives have been lost in the southwest region due to lack of food.
In fact, not only the southwest region, but the entire Daxia Kingdom is facing a shortage of food.
He has been fighting in the southwest for many years and wants to lend a hand.
But he doesn’t even have enough food and supplies on the battlefield, so how can he support others?
But now it’s different. If this cassava is really edible, all these problems will be solved.
Thinking of this, Chu Shiheng looked at the door of the kitchen again with eager eyes.
Whether it works or not, we’ll know once the cassava is served.
At this time, they were all standing at the door of the kitchen, hoping to know whether it would work or not.
In fact, Yu Mengqing wanted to say that if it was really poisonous, it wouldn’t cause death from poisoning immediately after eating it!
There has to be a process, right?
Just looking at those eye-catching eyes, Yu Mengqing couldn't bear to say these words.
"Shiheng, you don't have to worry too much. Even if this cassava is really poisonous, don't we still have potatoes?" Guo Yalun on the side couldn't help but speak.
Chu Shiheng: “…”
Yu Mengqing: "..."
They wanted to ask, your tone clearly tells them that this cassava is not edible.
In fact, this time Chu Shiheng and Yu Mengqing really misunderstood Guo Yalun.
After learning the news, he and Xue Zhonggui also went to the kitchen together.
Now they all live together in the general's mansion.
Chu Shiheng and Yu Mengqing had tried every possible way to drive them out, but they just refused to leave.
In their words, this general's mansion is not only popular, but the food is also delicious.
Setting up another government office would be a waste of money and troublesome.
The most important thing is that you can’t eat such delicious food all the time.
Helplessly, the two nodded in agreement.
