Chapter 248 Yes, He Did It



Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the woman who was still dancing at the wind outlet.

The white mist around her was getting thicker and thicker.

"Oh no! It's medicine! That white mist is medicine! Cover your mouth and nose quickly!"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately covered his mouth and nose, but at this time even he felt dizzy and suffocated.

He turned to look at Baili Chengyou, and sure enough, Baili Chengyou's face turned pale.

How is that possible!

Qiao Zhongguo looked up in disbelief. He had already chosen an open area. Even if the woman had poisoned someone in the upwind area, it would not have had such a miraculous effect!

At this time, all the people in the Qiao family gathered around. Everyone said that they felt dizzy, nauseous, and weak all over. Only Qiao Liu and Qiao Shiyi looked rosy-cheeked and did not seem to be feeling too unwell.

"General, what happened?" Qiao Liu looked shocked.

Upon hearing the voice, Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou looked at each other and their faces finally changed drastically.

Qiao Liu and Qiao Shiyi arrived later and followed the convoy for a day. They had also just inhaled the white mist, but they were the only ones who showed no abnormalities.

This can only mean one thing - all the others had been poisoned long ago, or in other words, the poison had long been lurking in all of their bodies!

The white mist released by the woman should have completely awakened the poison in their bodies!

Thinking of this, there was one thing that Qiao Zhongguo just couldn't figure out.

Even if other people were poisoned, the Qiao family brought their own dry food and water along the way and separated them from everyone else, so how did they get poisoned as well?

Just when everyone was panicking and losing their composure, the second prince finally lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

After not seeing him for two days, he looked pale and more haggard than ever before.

Gui Yue dragged his limp body forward, whispering, "Your Highness, it's bad, there are thieves attacking us!"

The second prince was leaning against the wall of the carriage and seemed extremely weak.

Qiao Zhongguo stared at the second prince. He could feel the weakness in his body getting stronger and stronger, and even his limbs began to go numb.

The second prince took a deep breath, looked up casually, and "coincidentally" met Qiao Zhongguo's gaze.

The next moment, he pulled the corner of his mouth towards Qiao Zhongguo without any concealment, his dark eyes revealing a strong sense of cruelty.

Yes, he was provocative.

He was telling Qiao Zhongguo blatantly with his eyes: He was the one who did it!

You can guard against thieves day and night, but you can’t guard against thieves in your own home.

Even if Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou were extremely careful and cautious, how could they not find an opportunity since he was in the convoy?

He had been preparing for this trip to Nanli Country for so long. From the day the convoy set out, everyone fell into the trap he had carefully laid!

The dry rations carried by the convoy were mixed with drugs from the beginning, but the amount was so small and shallow that it was completely undetectable.

Because if the poison takes effect prematurely and they have not yet reached Baopiling, it would be bad.

There are also pots, pans, and utensils that everyone uses for cooking. After each wash, someone will carefully apply medicine on the rims of the pots and pans.

The Qiao family was very cautious and even kept dry food and water separate from everyone along the way.

But it doesn’t matter. The journey is long, and the Qiao family will need food, drink and supplies along the way and at various post stations.

He tampered with the food at the post station, including the things that the Qiao family purchased through the post station.

It doesn’t matter if the Qiao family buys things on their own along the way. With more than ten post stations along the way, they will always be able to find opportunities.

This operation really consumed countless manpower. Even if Qiao Zhongguo had made all kinds of calculations, he would not have expected that he had such ability!

If it were in the past, he naturally did not have such strength and financial resources, but Prince Jin Yu was willing to help him.

It was Prince Jin Yu who gave him all the personnel that he had placed in Yong Dynasty over the past decade, allowing him to deploy them at will.

In this way, planning and arranging food for the marriage trip is a piece of cake.

He originally wanted to arrange a strong poison directly for the Qiao family, but then he thought carefully that Qiao Zhongguo still had a place in his father's heart. If he found out that he died of poison, he would definitely be suspicious.

And my royal brother will definitely not let this go. If he gets hold of this evidence, he will never give up.

It would be better for everyone to die together at the hands of the bandits in Baopiling. This way, there will be a scapegoat.

As long as he performs a self-torture trick again, the overall situation will be foolproof!

As for why those bandits listened to him and dared to attack the marriage convoy between the two countries, he had his own clever plan...

When Qiao Zhongguo saw the Second Prince's fake smile, his heart suddenly sank.

Even if you guard against thieves for a thousand days, if you make a slight mistake in estimation, you will eventually fail!

He has been fighting for half his life and has been in the court for more than ten years, but he has never encountered an enemy with such scheming!

"Dad, this poison is not simple, my internal strength cannot suppress it!"

At the critical moment, Qiao Diyi looked calm and was very capable of handling the situation!

Master has taught us that the more desperate the situation, the calmer you must be. Only in this way can you see the way out of the impasse and survive!

He patted his father's chest implicitly, where was the "Immune Pills to All Poisons" that his little sister had prepared for them long ago!

Qiao Zhongguo looked at Qiao Diyi deeply.

This medicine is of vital importance. If used properly, it may turn the situation around. However, it should not be used indiscriminately.

"Second brother, remember, take the enemy by surprise!"

Qiao Diyi pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.

When it really comes to a life-and-death moment, Qiao Laoer will not hesitate!

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo looked at Qiao Liu and Qiao Shiyi, who were still in good fighting condition, and gave a stern order:

"Six, Eleven, the two of you must protect Princess Nanning and stay with her!"

Military orders are as heavy as mountains. Qiao Liu and Qiao Shiyi responded strongly and immediately stood guard beside the car, one on the left and one on the right.

Meng Guxue retreated into the car with a pale face. Xiao Tao was also weak, but she still held Meng Guxue's hand tightly and said through gritted teeth:

"Miss, Xiaotao is in this state now. She will only hinder you. If things become impossible later, you can leave with the masters of the Qiao family. Don't worry about Xiaotao!"

Meng Guxue's heart was originally cold, but after hearing Xiaotao say this, he suddenly felt warm in his chest.

"Xiao Tao, I regret it. I shouldn't have asked you to come with me. Don't worry, I, Meng Guxue, am not that kind of person. The worst that can happen is... the worst that can happen is death!"

Speaking of this, Meng Guxue became so scared that tears started to fall.

The atmosphere outside the carriage was extremely solemn, and everyone knew that this night would not end peacefully!

At this moment, the dancing woman finally stopped. She retreated gracefully, but was replaced by a group of extremely strong figures!

"Here they come! The bandits from Baopiling are here!"

Someone shouted in horror.

Baili Chengyou looked at the densely packed figures in the distance, with no fear on his face, and shouted:

"Everyone should know that once you make a move, you should never regret it!"

"If you retreat now, I will pretend that I know nothing, and you can still be the willful mountain king!"

"Once you take action, you will offend both Nanli and Yong Dynasty. When our cavalry arrives one day, they will surely crush your hilltops!"

"Don't think that you can live comfortably with these dowries from now on. The items in the box are all government-made and have official stamps! Once circulated, they will leave traces!"

"If you commit a crime, I, the Nanli Nation, will track you down to the ends of the earth and make sure you never have a day of peace!"

"It's up to you to weigh the pros and cons. I advise you to cherish today and don't seek death!"

As soon as Baili Chengyou said this, a buzzing sound broke out on the mountaintop!
