Chapter 272 Jing Keqing
"Gu Wenyao's martial arts skills are indeed inferior to yours, but he's no worse than me in using poison. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become my senior brother. Do you think you have that ability?"
Yang Kezi: “…”
What he actually wanted to say was, "Don't you have the recipe for poison? If you could just stop him from using poison, wouldn't it be easy to kill him?"
However, Yang Kezi didn't say this, and Qi Daozhen could see it from his face.
"Do you think that if I were with you, I could take his life?"
"Isn't it the Imperial Master's will that this person cannot be kept alive?" Yang Kezi expressed his doubts.
"Whether he can stay or not isn't up to you or me. You and I need to have the strength to do it. He's actually standing here indifferent. It's obvious that he knows you can't kill him. Even with me, it's still a loss. Is that what you want?"
With these words, Qi Daozhen could be said to have exhausted all his patience.
What surprised Qi Daozhen was why Yang Kezi was so determined to kill Gu Wenyao.
In Qi Daozhen's eyes, Gu Wenyao was just an expert in medicine and poison, and for the time being, he would not pose any threat to the Manjing Kingdom.
As if he had thought of something, Qi Daozhen continued to ask, "Do you know the Chiyan Gang?"
Yang Kezi was right beside them during their conversation just now.
Qi Daozhen didn't think of avoiding him, so he naturally heard it clearly.
"I don't know." Yang Kezi replied.
Hearing this, Qi Daozhen looked at Yang Kezi suspiciously again, but found nothing unusual, so he put his doubts aside.
"If you want to take Gu Wenyao's life, you have to take advantage of him when he's least prepared. Now isn't the best time. Besides, we have the antidote in hand. Shouldn't we return quickly? Do you still have time to waste here?"
After Qi Daozhen's reminder, Yang Kezi immediately realized that he almost missed something important.
He didn't dare to say anything anymore and followed Qi Daozhen out of the door of the Ghost Seven Gang.
The reason why Qi Daozhen was so confident was that when he took the pill just now, he had already smelled the medicinal ingredients in the pill.
They are just some very common medicinal herbs.
What's more, Gu Wenyao has already developed this pill, so is it possible that Qi Daozhen can't develop one with the pill?
You know, Zuo Bingxi had already said back then that his talent was actually no worse than Gu Wenyao's.
Because they got the antidote, the two were even more eager to go home, especially Yang Kezi, who didn't even dare to close his eyes during the journey.
The military camp of the Manjing State.
"Report, General, there is a letter!" The spy walked in with a letter and reported.
Then Yang Zangzi discovered that the letter in the spy's hand was from King Jing Aming.
He hadn't written to him for some time. Come to think of it, it seemed like he hadn't written to him since he knew he had lost two cities in a row.
This sudden letter to him was obviously about something important.
Thinking of this, Yang Zangzi immediately opened the letter.
But when I saw the content inside, I was immediately furious.
Seeing this, the guard Bashen'a beside him couldn't help but ask: "General, this king..."
"He actually wants to send Jing Keqing here. Now this general has only lost two cities, but he is so impatient?" Yang Zangzi said gritting his teeth.
"Jing Keqing?"
"What? You also think he should come?" Yang Zangzi narrowed his eyes and looked at the guard Bashen'a sharply.
"I dare not!" Bashen'a said hurriedly.
At this time, as long as he is not stupid, he knows what he should say, right?
Although, he also felt that Jing Keqing should come.
But he dared to guarantee that if he said this, what would be waiting for him would be the general's sword.
Yang Zangzi snorted heavily and said, "I don't think you'd dare!"
"General, what should we do next?" After thinking for a while, Bashen'a continued to ask.
"Since he's coming, then I naturally want to welcome him. Right now, I'm worried about not being able to deal with Yu Mengqing and Chu Shiheng. I want to see what this Jing Keqing is capable of."
Bashen: "..." So who were you showing off that angry look on your face just now?
You get furious when someone says they're coming, but you just say it yourself and it's okay.
It's really typical that the officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps.
However, Bashen'a was also very curious about Jing Keqing.
The entire Manjing Kingdom knew that he was brave and valiant in battle.
It's just that he has a weird temper and usually won't go into battle easily.
Bashen'a guessed that the king must have spent a lot of time and effort on him in order for him to be able to fight again this time.
As if he had thought of something, Baaa continued:
"General, you received a letter from the king today, which said Jing Keqing would come. Does that mean..."
After hearing Bashen'a's reminder, Yang Zangzi suddenly realized.
Yes, the letter sent by the king will take at least ten days or half a month to arrive.
As the letter just mentioned, Jing Keqing set off along with the letter.
The letter was sent at full speed, so does that mean that Jing Keqing will arrive at the military camp in a few days?
Thinking of this, Yang Zangzi could no longer sit still.
Of course he had heard of Jing Keqing's name. Not only him, but everyone in the entire military camp should have heard of it.
Now that he has come to this military camp, does he still have a place in this army?
The most important thing is that the king just said that he will lead an army of 50,000 here.
With Jing Keqing's swift and decisive approach, he probably wouldn't give himself any chance to explain.
Especially now that the military camp is deeply poisoned by poisonous insects, if he sees it, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Is there any news from Deputy General Yang?" Yang Zangzi asked.
Bashen'a shook his head and said, "There is no news for now, but if I am not mistaken, he should be back in the next two days."
Yang Zangzi nodded and looked at the date. Indeed, it had been seven or eight days since they set out.
If all goes well, I should be back tomorrow.
Now he can only pin all his hopes on him.
If they can bring back the antidote, the current dilemma will basically be solved.
But the troops suffered heavy losses.
Thinking of this, Yang Zangzi wished he could tear Yu Mengqing into pieces.
If it weren't for her, how could Yang Zangzi have lost those two cities?
He would not be poisoned by the poisonous insects, causing him to lose so many elite soldiers.
Although there is still snow now, if he guessed correctly, Yu Mengqing will definitely go out to fight again once the snow melts.
It seems that his plans also need to be advanced.
