In the Sals military camp, Murong Tianqi was staring at the sand table in front of him in a daze.
At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly appeared on the sand table.
Murong Tianqi looked up and saw familiar eyes. "Hey, brother, your fighting style is not good. I heard that you have lost 60,000 to 70,000 people in this battle!" Murong Tianyi looked at him with a smile.
"Why are you here? Did the Khan ask you to come?" Murong Tianqi was surprised.
"Needless to say, when the Khan heard the news of the defeat, he was so angry that he smashed several glass cups in the royal court. If I hadn't stopped him, you would have been the next one to be smashed!" Murong Tianyi chuckled.
"Then I should thank you, brother?" Murong Tianqi looked at him with a forced smile.
"That's not necessary, my brother. I'm not saying that you should talk about morality in a war. You should just plot against him directly. Use the same ruthlessness you used against me to deal with the people of Yin Weiguo!" Murong Tianyi flicked down Yin Weiguo's flag with one finger.
Murong Tianqi wiped his eyes and sighed, "What are you going to do, my brother?"
"Listen to me, this and this..." Murong Tianyi said close to his ear.
On the road, Yu Xiaofu and his team were traveling day and night.
That night, several Sals people led by Murong Tianyi sneaked close to the border city of Lawa where Gu Nanji was stationed to guard.
They took advantage of the night, crawled into a dog hole that no one noticed, and entered the city of Lawa.
They avoided the guarding soldiers and took advantage of the night to find a well near Gu Nanji's army and threw many bags of black powder into it.
Wu Yuanlou, who was leading the patrol, noticed some unusual movement near the well, so he gestured to the others to follow him quietly and see what was going on.
The Sars people moved very quickly. After poisoning Wu Yuanlou, they quickly slipped away, leaving only a blurry figure behind.
Wu Yuanlou signaled the others to catch up, while he and a few soldiers stayed behind. "Torches."
The soldiers held torches and lit up the well.
Wu Yuanlou looked down and saw nothing unusual, but a speck of black powder on the edge of the well caught his attention. "Someone, get a military doctor!"
…
Bai Congjiang tested it with a silver needle, which turned black and his pupils widened. "This powder is poisonous!"
Wu Yuanlou had someone catch a mouse and forced someone to stuff the food into the mouse's mouth.
Not long after the mouse was released, the mouse, which was still trying to escape, began foaming at the mouth and its limbs twitched. Within a few seconds, the mouse fell to the ground and was lifeless.
"!!! Go and report to General Gu and General Wu!" Wu Yuanlou shouted urgently.
"Hurry, hurry, check every well in the city to see if they are poisonous!" Wu Yuanlou's scalp tingled as he urged Bai Congjiang and others.
Gu Nanji and Wu Yuantai arrived quickly. Seeing this scene, they immediately ordered people to seal the well and stop people from drinking the water to avoid more casualties.
Gu Nanji and Wu Yuantai frowned. Wu Yuantai pounded the wall hard. "These Sars people are going too far. Their methods are extremely despicable. They even do things like poisoning the well water. It seems that they are determined to fight us to the death!"
Gu Nanji frowned, and the next second he ordered the generals, "Hurry up and check how much water is left in the barracks. There are several wells in the city that have been poisoned, and there are still several wells that can be used for drinking. Go quickly."
"You, and you, quickly go to the nearest town to fetch water." Gu Nanji immediately tried to find a way to solve the problem.
"Ask Bai Congjiang to see me." Gu Nanji returned to the military camp with a gloomy face.
After investigation, it was found that there were eighteen streets in Lawa City, and each street had two wells. A total of thirty-six wells were poisoned.
When Gu Nanji heard the news, his face couldn't get any darker.
"How many days will it take for the army sent by the court to arrive?" At this moment, he suddenly thought of something.
"General, the army sent by the court will arrive in two days, or at most three days." Wu Yuanlou replied.
"Send them a letter and ask them to bring more water on their way here." Gu Nanji touched his head, his anxious expression did not decrease at all.
"Yes, General, I'll go right away." Wu Yuanlou ran out quickly.
"Nan Ji, what should we do?" Wu Yuantai also felt powerless.
"Issue a notice and tell the people in the city that the well water is poisonous and cannot be drunk. But if you have a well at home, you can try it to see if it is poisonous. If it is not, you can drink it." Gu Nanji said with a sigh.
"Let the soldiers drink less water than usual and wait for the reinforcements to arrive." Seeing that Bai Congjiang had not arrived yet, Gu Nanji quickly walked out to look for someone.
"Here I come! I'm here, General!" As soon as he walked out of the tent, he bumped into Bai Congjiang.
"Why did you come just now? Come quickly and tell me, can you find an antidote for the poison in the well water?" Gu Nanji didn't care that Bai Congjiang was hurt by the collision. He grabbed Bai Congjiang's hand and walked into the tent.
"General, General, the poison in that well water is too complicated. I can't detoxify it, but I have written a letter and sent it to my senior sister in Tianyao Valley. My senior sister is good at making poisons and detoxifying. But I guess we have to wait for her to come, and it will take some time..." Bai Congjiang finally broke free from Gu Nanji's hands, and then explained, but the more he explained, the more guilty he felt.
Gu Nanji glanced at him and said, "...Okay, don't be idle these few days. Try to find a way to detoxify it."
Bai Congjiang nodded and left the tent again.
As soon as the news of the poisoned well came out, panic quickly spread throughout the army. Not to mention the soldiers, even the people who needed water for daily use were complaining bitterly.
