Chapter 1400 Poisonous Bird
Everyone's archery skills are pretty good.
Xiao Lanyuan's archery skills are so perfect that he never misses a shot.
He shot the leading bird with one arrow and then quickly fired three more arrows.
Four arrows hit four birds.
The others also had almost no misses.
Only two birds were frightened and flew away.
"Prepare the horses, open the city gates, and go pick up the birds." Xiao Lanyuan gave the order, "Be careful, wear gloves, and don't touch the birds with your hands."
The Qinglong Guard took the order and left.
Xiao Lanyuan was waiting on the city wall, watching them rush out.
"Your Highness, do you think there is anything wrong with those birds?" Qing Yi asked.
“It doesn’t feel right.”
Xiao Lanyuan couldn't tell what was wrong for a moment, but when he saw a group of birds flying towards him just now, he had a sudden feeling in his mind that he couldn't let them fly in like that.
It might be because the Shenyi Sect has always been treacherous and cruel, which made him very defensive.
Moreover, what Zhao Ning said was right. The Shenyi Sect had been eyeing Dongqing for so many years. They had been in Dongqing for so long and had made so many moves, but they had never encountered the Shenyi Sect. This was very wrong.
It is impossible for the Shenyi Sect to just hide away and not take any action.
Unless, they have been preparing something in secret.
The weather is very cold and it is snowing. Where do such a large flock of birds come from?
"It's always better for us to be careful." Eleven also said.
Soon, the Qinglong Guards rode back on their horses.
They carried a cloth bag and picked up all the birds.
"Your Majesty, I have obeyed your orders. None of our subordinates have come across these birds."
There are about ten birds in this bag.
They are not small either.
"What's on the bird?" Xiao Lanyuan asked.
"Nothing has been found, but I haven't checked it carefully yet."
Because Xiao Lanyuan said not to touch the bird casually, they did not check it carefully.
"Pour them out now and let me see them." Xiao Lanyuan said.
The birds all fell out. Xiao Lanyuan also put on gloves and a mask.
He had to think about Fu Zhaoning. He was going back to see her and couldn't let anything bad get on his body.
These things were invented by Zhaoning, and he felt more at ease wearing them.
The birds were all spread out on the ground.
At first glance, it seems that there is really nothing.
Xiao Lanyuan used the tip of his sword to push aside their wings, and suddenly saw some gray, mud-like substance under their wings.
"Did these birds roll on the ground?" Qing Yi felt a little strange.
Why is there so much dirt?
And, every one of them has one.
Xiao Lanyuan took a closer look and his expression changed slightly.
"This isn't dirt at all, it's poison powder."
"What?"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Lanyuan carefully put down some powder, and then asked someone to catch a mouse.
There are rats in the city.
They had caught several of them when they searched the city before.
It is not impossible to catch it now, it just takes some effort.
After the mouse was caught, Xiao Lanyuan asked someone to feed the powder to the mouse.
After a while, the mouse died.
Or dead stiff.
When everyone saw this scene, their faces changed.
But that’s not all. Soon, the mouse actually began to rot.
"Why does it rot so quickly?" everyone exclaimed.
There is definitely something wrong with this rate of decay!
Moreover, after it rotted, it began to ooze out some pus, a lot of it.
"This poison is really powerful." Xiao Lanyuan said solemnly. "If we let these birds fly into the city, as long as a few people are touched by the poison powder, they will rot quickly, and then the pus will spread the poison."
