Meanwhile, Duke's concubine, Li Niang, was researching a poison that could counteract Ye Moxun. Of course, they were still unaware that the person who had gathered thousands of poisons outside Xiangyang City that day was a young boy.
All that is known is that Cao Laoda died and Xiangyang City was in chaos. In fact, there were also Duke's spies in the city who used to be able to send back messages on time, but after the defeat that day, no more messages came out of Xiangyang City. It was as if all the spies had been eliminated.
In fact, no, it's just that the carrier pigeons can't fly away because Ye Moxun used a medicine that targets birds. Whether it's a carrier pigeon or an eagle, as long as they smell this medicine, their bodies will become weak and they will be unable to flap their wings and fly.
To prevent people from catching and eating birds that cannot fly, thus wiping out the city's birds, Ye Moxun sent word that the city's birds were poisoned and anyone who ate them would die.
In fact, the medicine he developed would give birds a sense of crisis as soon as they smelled it, and birds from other places would not dare to approach Xiangyang City, so the problem of birds being eaten to extinction that he was worried about would not occur.
In short, Duke has no news from Xiangyang City and dares not launch a war easily. He is very wary of the fact that all five thousand men were poisoned that day, fearing that he might also be poisoned.
However, she couldn't swallow her anger and could only place her hopes on Liniang. To be honest, Liniang had only heard her mother mention a kind of poison that could attract thousands of poisonous creatures. She could also make a medicine that could attract snakes and insects, but it couldn't attract a large number of poisonous creatures. At most, it could only attract a few dozen snakes and a few dozen poisonous insects.
She couldn't handle an army of thousands, but she couldn't say she couldn't. The day she went to find Duke wasn't voluntary; she just knew Duke would come looking for her sooner or later, otherwise she would have no use to him.
On the surface, she was Duke's beloved concubine, but in reality, she was nothing more than a pawn. After poisoning Prince Duan, she had no value anymore. She had served Prince Duan for so many years, and Duke had long since despised her as a used and depraved woman. If it weren't for her cunning, she would probably be long gone.
She had no other choice. Her mother died when she was twelve, leaving her all alone. She eventually ended up working for Duke, who saw that she was beautiful and knew how to use poison, so he specially trained her.
Two years later, she became Duke's concubine, and was later sent to infiltrate the side of Prince Duan of Xifeng until she poisoned him to death.
After that, Duke felt that she was no longer useful, because the wise prince, the crown prince, and the Duke of Zhenguo were all far away, and she was getting older and could no longer rely on her looks to seduce those people.
Furthermore, she was skilled in using poison, and the women in Duke's backyard were very wary of her, fearing that she would secretly harm them, so they united to deal with her.
Li Niang's life is not easy now. The first wife ostracizes and suppresses her, and the other concubines also isolate her. Sometimes she really wants to get angry and poison all the women in Duke's backyard, but she can only think about it and dare not actually do it. If she really did it, Duke would definitely torture her to the point of wishing she were dead.
She was afraid of dying, and hadn't lived enough, so she could only swallow her anger.
Fine, if things really don't work out, we can just die together. If we take enough people down with us, death won't be so scary.
When Song Zhuiyan and Zhong Qingyi left the deep mountains and headed towards Fengcheng, Duke's men also took action. One hundred and twenty assassins, carrying the poison developed by Li Niang, planned to detour into Xiangyang City and then secretly kill Ye Moxun.
Although they didn't know who Ye Moxun was, they knew he lived in the Xiangyang City government office. They could just kill everyone in the office when the time came.
"I refuse to believe I can't kill him. If Li Niang succeeds this time, you'll have done a great service, and I'll definitely reward you handsomely." Duke looked at Li Niang with seemingly gentle eyes.
"This is what I should do. I'm happy to share the general's burdens, how could I ask for any reward?" Li Niang said coquettishly, but in her heart she was cursing that the poison was too ruthless.
If you light it and let someone smell the odor, that person will be poisoned and die. If that doesn't kill the person, then it's not her fault; it must be that the person in charge didn't do it properly. The poisonous smoke won't be released too far away, as the toxicity will weaken. It's best to put it indoors to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
If it were outdoors or in the wild, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced. After all, she had already warned her that if the assassination failed, she shouldn't be held responsible, especially if Duke was really unreasonable.
Then she'll poison all the women in his backyard to die with her. Hmph, they forced her to that point, so don't blame her for being ruthless.
That night, Ye Moxun was fast asleep when he suddenly felt a buzzing in his head. It took him a while to realize that the broken system was talking to him.
"Host, a group of men in black have entered the government office and are preparing to attack everyone here. They are all assassins, and they've brought poison to kill you with poisonous smoke. These people are mainly here to kill you; they were sent by Duke..."
"Alright, enough nonsense. Next time there's an emergency, remember to get to the point. Stop being so long-winded." Ye Moxun said coldly as he quickly got up and dressed.
"Host, don't panic. Taishan and Lao San have already found them. They've taken care of three of them, leaving more than a hundred. Be careful, host."
Ye Moxun: "..." The system has Alzheimer's disease, or is it menopause? It's too verbose.
System: It just wants to redeem itself and make up for the mistake of not notifying us in time when the python appeared. It finally got the chance, and in order to show its importance, it gave such a detailed prompt.
Ye Moxun: Hehe.
System: We can't talk to each other, sob.
Ye Moxun's first reaction was to go out and find Song Tantan, but he stopped at the door. The men in black were already at the door. If he went out, he would inevitably run into them. He wasn't confident of winning a fight. There were too many people, and his physical condition would soon become a hindrance. So he couldn't go out.
