Chapter 1236: Waiting for the Rabbit, Who is the Rabbit? (Part 1236) [Seeking monthly votes]

  It is not difficult to infer the enemy's true movements based on intelligence, but the difficult part is how to use this to stab the knife into the enemy's heart!

After a long discussion, nothing was really decided.

Shen Tang suggested a break to relax and discuss the rest in the afternoon. She went outside to breathe some fresh air, which cleared her sleepy mind. A cup of tea appeared in front of her, and she raised her hand to take it and drank it all.

A strong coolness rushes from the lungs to the top of the head.

Refresh your mind and feel refreshed.

"What kind of tea is this?"

"Early spring this year, we accidentally discovered that several ancient trees in our tribe had sprouted, so we picked a few and fried them to make tea cakes." Jimo Qiu couldn't tell what kind of tea tree it was. The tea trees recorded in ancient books had already mutated completely over thousands of years of changes. As long as he knew that it was drinkable and tasted good, it was fine. "I made some slight adjustments to the taste..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Tang drank again: "It's really good, as long as it's not taken from the ancestors of the clan."

He finished the whole pot in just a few sips.

When she wanted to refill her cup, Gong Xichou jumped out and snatched her tea.

He also complained that Jimo Qiu was partial, giving all the good things to Mama instead of his own brothers. He had never been so partial without any suspense. Jimo Qiu looked at Gongxi Chou in surprise and said, "I thought Anian knew himself."

Gong Xichou spat out a mouthful of tea.

He quickly raised his hand to stop Shen Tang from refilling his cup, and said something that made everyone else nervous: "There's something wrong with the taste of the tea!"

Someone poisoned and murdered?

This thought popped into Shen Tang's mind.

A poisonous insect popped out of Jimo Qiu's sleeve and flew into Gong Xichou's bowl. Even the residue at the bottom of the bowl could be tested to see if it was poisonous or not. Shen Tang watched this scene calmly, as if the poisoning had nothing to do with her. The poisonous insect did not detect the toxin, so Jimo Qiu could only test the poison himself, carefully distinguishing the ingredients, and his brows relaxed.

"This tea is fine."

Gong Xichou didn't believe it and took a sip as well.

Finally, he turned his back and spit out: "Why is it okay?"

Gong Xichou could not doubt Mama and Big Brother's professional judgment, so the problem was with him? Shen Tang also noticed that the color of his tongue was abnormal, with the tip of his tongue tinged with indigo. Jimo Qiu breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem, you are poisoned."

Gong Xiqiu: "..."

This news doesn't seem to be good.

  The question arises again, when was I poisoned?

He tilted his head to allow a green-backed toad to lie on his neck to detoxify him, while recalling where he was poisoned. Jimo Qiu directly deduced the time of his poisoning based on the degree of poisoning. Gong Xichou gritted his teeth and said, "It was that old fellow with the knife!"

Jimo Qiu put the toad that had finished its work into his sleeve.

"Let General Yun come over and take a look."

As expected, Yun Ce was also poisoned.

  The poisoning was not the key issue. The key issue was that Gong Xichou and Yun Ce were both at such a high level that they did not notice the poisoning. Gong Xichou discovered it only after he drank the detoxifying tea by accident. This is a warning sign. The person who poisoned someone must be quite skilled!

"It's normal that you didn't notice anything. This poison itself doesn't harm your health." Jimo Qiu used the Gu worm to analyze the toxin and soon got the answer, "Not only does it not cause any harm, it also helps the circulation of martial energy. When fighting an enemy, your tendons and veins relax, and the speed of martial energy flowing is more than a hundred times faster than usual, so even a slight increase won't be noticeable."

"Without harming your health?"

Jimo Qiu: “But it’s different for others.”

This is a poison similar to that of a Gu insect. After it merges with Qi, blood, and martial Qi, it derives into a hallucinogenic toxin. These toxins will be excreted from the body little by little as the host moves, silently and not easily detected. Even if they are detected, they will think that it is miasma caused by acclimatization, or malaria caused by snakes, insects, rats, and ants. At that time, the poison in Gong Xichou and Yun Ce's bodies was also completely discharged.

  There is truly no evidence of death!

Shen Tang became serious when he heard this: "It's like Gong Xichou and Yuan Mou have unknowingly become mobile sources of infection?"

Jimo Qiu agreed with her judgment.

"Warriors and scholars are not affected, this is for ordinary people. The foul air starts in late spring and subsides in late autumn. Now is the season when miasma is frequent, and the soldiers are from the northwest. If the poison breaks out, we will just think it is just ordinary acclimatization."

It is normal to suffer from acclimatization when going out to fight.

I wouldn't even guess that it was poisoning.

"Even if it is not discovered by accident this time, when the soldiers are in a large area of ​​physical discomfort, the military medical practitioners can prescribe the right medicine to solve the crisis." Jimo Qiu comforted her. The medical practitioners in Kangguo are not vegetarians. There are not many problems that can stump them. But there is one thing to be vigilant about. "If the person who poisoned is really Gongyang Yongye, his identity is not just as simple as the 19th-class Guannei Hou. He is probably also a medical practitioner, and he is good at poisoning!"

Shen Tang: "..."

According to her intelligence, this was not revealed at all.

Come to think of it, it's not impossible.

Gong Yang Yongye himself learned medicine by himself when he could no longer make progress in martial arts. People who have deeply cultivated a certain field and then cross over to learn other fields cannot be compared with beginners in terms of efficiency.

Who can guarantee that this guy has not passed the assessment of the Holy Temple of Medicine?

It is impossible for Gongyang Yongye to reveal its true colors.

Shen Tang let out a breath of foul air.

He said, "Please make a note of this one."

There is a Xinglin doctor who can use poison on the other side, and there is no one. That is a different level of difficulty. Poison is something that is hard to guard against.

Once you are on guard, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Regardless of whether it was Gong Yang Yongye's work or not, it's always a good idea to take precautions: "Send someone to check on the ordinary soldiers who had contact with you two, and have the military doctors keep an eye on them. If there are any health problems, they will be treated immediately."

She also wanted to see the destructive power of the other party's poison.

This matter was nipped in the bud before it could cause any waves.

But it also gave Shen Tang a reminder.

"It's rude to come and not reciprocate..."

Shen Tang also has a medical practitioner who knows how to use poisons. Even if he doesn't have one, Jimo Qiu can take his place, as he is an expert in using poisons.

When she glanced over, Jimo Qiu knew what she was planning.

"What would your highness like?"

Shen Tang gestured to wipe the neck: "The blood will kill the throat!"

Jimo Qiu was embarrassed. She asked, "Is there no such poison?"

  This is impossible, right?

Jimo Qiu said: "Yes, we do have it. Whether it's poison or Gu, we can prepare it. But are you sure you really want to use it?"

"Are there any taboos in using this kind of thing?"

War is a large-scale group fight with no taboos. There is no such thing as a ban. At most, being too cruel will cause criticism and leave a bad reputation for future generations. This is something that only people with dignity would consider. If you are shameless or thick-skinned and are not afraid of being infamous for thousands of years, then there are no taboos. Shen Tang doesn't think that quietly poisoning the enemy is any better than smearing gold juice on the weapon!

Gold juice and rust is an infection + tetanus combo.

Physical attack and mental pollution.

Simple poisoning is only a physical attack.

Jimo Qiu said: "Expensive!"

Shen Tang was stunned for a moment: "... expensive???"

Jimo Qiu told her sincerely: "The raw materials used to make them are too expensive, some are more expensive than gold. If you want to achieve the effect of killing the enemy instantly, the dosage must be sufficient! And there is no guarantee that every drop of poison can be swallowed by the enemy, it is better than gold juice." Shen Tang: "..."

Jimo Qiu's answer made her lose her temper instantly.

Fighting a war also requires cost-effectiveness.

The warlords all knew that the elite troops were powerful, but why were they so few in number? Did they not want them?

  Of course it’s because we can’t afford it!

One fully armed elite soldier is enough to support dozens of ordinary soldiers.

Similarly, a deadly poison that kills instantly is not as cost-effective as the inexpensive golden juice that can also keep the enemy full. The more effective and deadly the poison is, the more expensive it is and the longer it takes to make. Shen Tang was forced to give up the idea, but Jimo Qiu's next words gave her a little hope: "If Your Highness just wants to return the favor, I also have cheap and large quantities here..."

"Really?"

"some."

But it needs the help of the natural environment.

The environment in the southwest continent is hot and humid, and there is a lot of miasma in certain seasons. Jimo Qiu can use local materials to mix some incense sticks. In combination with the environment, it can make people's senses dull and produce hallucinations. Of course, these can only work on ordinary people. Wuzu with strong blood or strong will are unlikely to be affected. The final effect is very different from what Your Highness imagined.

Shen Tang made the decision and said, "That's enough."

Instead of hoping that poisoning would work, it would be better to get more gold juice.

It was impossible to get so many materials in a short period of time just by gathering them, so Shen Tang transferred Lin Feng to cooperate with Jimo Qiu.

When Lin Feng was mentioned, Shen Tang remembered that Lin Feng did not come to the meeting.

No one was sent to ask for leave.

"…But Lingde is injured?"

Shen Tang sent people to look for Lin Feng, but didn't find him.

Gong Xichou was impatient and took the initiative to look for him: "I'll go!"

It was not difficult to lock onto Lin Feng's aura, Gong Xichou easily found his location. Lin Feng was not in her own tent, but at Tan Ting's side. When Gong Xichou arrived, he noticed that the two looked unhappy, as if they had had an argument: "What was the conflict about?"

Lin Feng is a benefactor, and Gong Xichou only helps his relatives and not others.

If these two were to fight, he would definitely support his benefactor.

Lin Feng knew from his expression that he had misunderstood, and explained: "It's not a contradiction, it's just that I admire Tan Gun's strength and want to ask for advice."

Gong Xichou asked curiously: "What can I ask him? If it comes to spiritual cultivation, Prime Minister Chu is far superior to Tan Mengyuan!"

There are not many scholars who can convince him, and Chu Yao is one of them.

"If Prime Minister Chu is not able to do it, there is still Shan Qi...that is Prime Minister Qi." Gong Xichou and Qi Shan had a little friendship when they were young, and he could also come forward to help Lin Feng to plead for him, so there was no need for Tan Mengyuan at all.

Lin Feng said: "It's different."

Gong Xichou and General Yun worked together to delay Gong Yangyongye yesterday. The battlefield was in the enemy camp. How could they know everything that happened in the granary battlefield? What she wanted to consult was not the words of ordinary scholars, but the special words that Tan Ting used to deal with Luo Yuan yesterday.

Gong Xichou was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Lin Feng said: "That's very important."

If Tan Ting was on the opposite side yesterday and dealt with Gong Shuwu, Gong Shuwu would probably be seriously injured. In Lin Feng's understanding, the literati either assist a single general or the entire army, boosting morale, boosting blood, speeding up marches... or countering the enemy's actions. Tan Ting directly attacked the opposing general last night, and the key is that the effect was amazing.

Gong Xichou was puzzled: "What's the matter? When did your teacher not attack the enemy troops?"

Lin Feng also followed suit and used the scholar as a military general.

"It's different. When the teacher and I attack, we can only hurt ordinary soldiers and affect low-level warriors with low martial energy. The opponent yesterday, I heard from the master, was a 19th-level Guannei Hou. Warriors of this level are basically not affected by the negative words of the scholars..." How could Lin Feng not be jealous? She has reached a bottleneck now and wants to make real progress!

The way of the scribe?

The road to a perfect ceremony is long and arduous.

The teacher herself was stuck at a bottleneck and couldn't help much, so Tan Ting gave her hope of finding another way out.

She has always been very proactive and dares to think and act.

When he found an opportunity, he went to Tan Ting in person to ask for answers.

Unfortunately, the answer is no.

After hearing the whole story, Gong Xichou thought it was a big deal, so he immediately promised Lin Feng: "How difficult is this? If he doesn't know what's good for him, I'll find a way to make him know what's good for him."

There is nothing that cannot be solved by force.

Lin Feng was almost scared by him and hurried to stop Gong Xichou.

"No, no, this matter cannot be forced." Not to mention that Tan Ting is now a colleague and loyal to the master. Even if he is not in the same camp, Lin Feng will not do anything to rob him. "It's not that he is unwilling to teach, but it involves family tradition..."

"What family tradition is there?"

Gong Xichou scoffed at such remarks.

These Word Spirits were all brought out from the Thief Star and the Holy Land of Mountains and Seas. They do not belong to anyone alone, and no one is qualified to possess them alone!

He is not familiar with Tan Ting, so he won't spoil her.

Lin Feng has known Gong Xichou for many years and has a certain understanding of his temper. If he hadn't dissuaded him, he might have asked Tan Ting for it: "He said that in order for the Word Spirit to have the same effect, it would require the assistance of his scholar's way. Even if he gave up his family background and taught me how to use it, I would not be able to be like him."

Lin Feng could not meet the hard conditions.

Gong Xichou finally gave up, but he still insisted: "What a lousy word spirit, why can he learn it but you can't? In terms of talent and understanding, there are definitely no more than two people in the world who can compete with you, let alone him."

  If Lin Feng learns it, he will only become stronger, not weaker!

But then again, Gong Xichou couldn't imagine how Tan Ting could restrain a 19th-rank Guannei Marquis. He could kill many weak scholars like Wenxin with one slap. Tan Ting's tall and slender figure didn't look like he could take a beating.

Lin Feng didn’t know much either.

But she knew that General Gongshu was very afraid of Tan Ting.

After the battle on the front line, every time General Gong Shu saw Tan Ting, the fire in his eyes would become abnormal, and he could be visibly wary of him. In all these years, she had never seen any scholar get this treatment, not even her teacher who was so tough.

Gong Xichou's curiosity was aroused.

Curiosity not only kills cats but also makes snakes anxious.

Since Lin Feng didn't give a precise answer, Gong Xichou put the breakthrough point on Gong Shuwu. Gong Shuwu didn't know what he was thinking of, and the flames in his eyes jumped twice: "Tan Mengyuan's words made the opponent's Danfu produce martial energy with opposing attributes yesterday."

Generally speaking, there are only one or two types of martial energy attributes.

Most of the time, the attributes are useless, at most they have a bonus in a specific environment, for example, Yun Ce and Yun Da will get a bonus in the ice and snow, hitting people will hurt more and consume less. Gong Shuwu will also perform above his level in a place with many dead bodies and heavy resentment.

Where there is mutual promotion, there is naturally mutual restraint.
