Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 416 Reasons
General Zhao is the commander in chief of the army, but no matter how many days there is no record of the commander's hysteria in the manual recorded by the doctor accompanying the army, so... there is only one explanation.That is, from beginning to end, he never had hysteria.

Because every move of the commander in the army involves the lives of countless soldiers, so if General Zhao also suffers from hysteria, there will be records.

Even Jiang Pingping, a strategist who accompanied the army, contracted hysteria, was specially recorded, not to mention General Zhao himself.

"This is not the epidemic." The girl subconsciously repeated the speculation of the doctor accompanying the army in the brochure.

Jiang Pingping nodded: "It's not the epidemic, the appearance is painless and uninjured, it's just hysteria, people are in a trance, almost crazy, how can they go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?"

The girl hummed, looked at Jiang Pingping, who had a sad face, and after a moment of pondering, said again: "The military doctor finally found a way to cure hysteria, but he would rather die than use it. Is it because of this method? Is it related to General Zhao?"

She can always find amazing clues from his few words.

Jiang Pingping wasn't too surprised anymore, he nodded a little numbly, opened his mouth, and was about to tell the truth, but the girl spoke before him.

"It's not an epidemic, but it can cause such serious consequences. The doctor found a way, but he would rather die than use it. General Zhao has never had anything to do with it, but people around him have problems one after another," the girl said. Here, he took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Pingping, with a calm expression, but there was an inexplicable anger in his eyes, "The only possibility I can think of is that the black hand behind the scenes put a poison from southern Xinjiang on him, this poison It is very special, turning General Zhao himself into a source of Gu, as long as he is around, people around him will have hysteria one after another, and the soldier who has hysteria will pass the hysteria on to others, but General Zhao who is in it is always Sober, I can only watch the army around me fall into a state of madness. It is even very likely that I will not know that the root of the problem lies with me until the end."

The doctors accompanying the army in the Zhao family’s army are naturally good at medical skills, but the soldiers who are recruited to fight outside usually suffer from trauma, so most of the doctors accompanying the army are better at treating trauma, and they are also very good at diagnosing and treating bruises. Illness is not good at it.

As for Gu poison, it is not necessarily clear to ordinary doctors, let alone military doctors.To be able to find out that this is Gu poison, the ability of this army doctor is already extremely brilliant.

"I heard from Zen Master Huijue that this kind of Gu poison is called Yuan Gu. The only way to crack it is to find the original Gu king from the body of the Gu source and kill it. But these Gu kings usually reside deep in the human body. If it is in such an important place as the heart vein...so the most effective way to get rid of the Gu is to directly kill the source of the Gu."

Hearing this, Jiang Pingping's red eyes suddenly opened, he took a deep breath, looked at the girl, nodded and said: "Miss Jiang Si guessed right, our little general is the source of the Gu, if you want The only way to crack it is to kill the little general."

But... how do they do it?
The girl opposite didn't know if she had imagined the situation at that time. She was shocked by the situation at that time, and her eyes were very red. She spoke, trembling slightly in her calm and reserved voice since the beginning: "So in the end, he died?"

Jiang Pingping nodded.

There are many rumors about the Battle of Baidi, but it is an indisputable fact that the whole city was defeated and burned.

"The insurgents didn't know what happened in the barracks at first, but they soon became aware of it. Our soldiers were hysterical. They couldn't tell which was the enemy soldier and which was our own. Everyone was defeated. He watched The soldiers and horses he brought out with his own hands, the elite soldiers who were once invincible, just fell down like this, excruciating pain. After discovering the method to undo the Gu, he chose to understand the Gu without hesitation..."

The situation at that time was too tragic, far more tragic than his straightforward description. Jiang Pingping felt that no matter how powerful words in the world were, it was not enough to express his shock in just a few months.

"At that time, there were not many of us alive. The little general wanted us to leave and tried to find a way to leave, but there were still women and children in the city who were not infected with hysteria. How could a soldier general abandon the city?" Jiang Jiang Ping Ping smiled wryly, "We tried to break through, but how did people like us break through? There are only a few remnants left, even after dispelling the Gu, they can't recover for a while. How can we attack the rebels outside? How can we bring women and children together? Leaving the city?"

"The several avenues leading to the outside world of Baidi are guarded by rebels. At this time, an old man who has lived in Baidi for a long time told us a little-known path, passing through the bird and beast caves between the cliffs, we can enter Jiang'ankou."

"But this way, well-trained soldiers and generals will be terrified, let alone those women and children. The common people will say that they will not leave, and the worst is to surrender."

How much support can a tyrant get for his actions?The common people, women and children, took the surrender very lightly. Besides, they thought that the rebels outside were also common people, so they would not embarrass them.

"We thought the same way, so we chose to leave, but only after we left did we realize that even though the gates of Baidi City were wide open, those rebels did not choose to overwhelm the city at all, but poured oil on the outside of Baidi City , and then a fire burned everyone alive in Baidi City. It is rare for anyone to escape from the sea of ​​flames, and was shot to death by the rebel army with arrows at the moment of escape."

This kind of situation is really tragic and outrageous.

As for why the rebel army did this...

"The rebel army saw the invincible Zhao's army become like this, and felt that there was an epidemic in the city, so they adopted the method of dealing with the epidemic to deal with the people in the city." Jiang Pingping said, looking at Jiang Shaoyan, who was also red-eyed, deeply He took a breath and shook his head, "So, the people can't live, and we have to use fire to burn down this isolated city infected with the epidemic."

This was the situation in the Battle of the White Emperor back then. Jiang Shaoyan and Jiang Pingping talked but neither of them moved.

Because the truth in it is more important than the situation.

"Who put the Gu on the little general, how long it took, and what method was used to put the poison, we all want to know."

Regarding this... the girl looked up at Jiang Pingping: "Do you know about Jinling City?"

Even the common people have heard about it, and it is impossible for Jiang Pingze, who has been in Jiangnan Road for so long, not to know.

"I heard it was about a few Taoist priests, and it was related to the royal family of the previous dynasty. They dug up the secret treasure of the royal family." Jiang Pingping roughly summarized the news he had heard, and waited for the girl to tell.

She is a person who has experienced it, so she knows better about those Taoist priests.

"Those Taoist priests can be traced back to the time of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty...in order to find the blood of the real dragon...and leave behind secret treasures." After briefly explaining what she knew, Jiang Shaoyan said to Jiang Pingping, "The tyrant is also the one who was made by those Taoist priests. The child who came out, do you think he knows this?"

Jiang Pingze: It is very likely that he knew about it.

"The Taoist priests in that Taoist temple are familiar with Gu poison." Jiang Shaoyan said again, and while speaking, she glanced at Jiang Pingping, whose expression became serious on the opposite side, "I don't know if this is a coincidence, but I just think it's possible, and explain Makes sense."

During the march, General Zhao stayed with the soldiers day and night, and rarely had contact with outsiders. She didn't think that the man behind the scenes had the guts to use his body as bait to die.

That is a villain, who likes to hide behind his back with sinister means.

"So the poison in General Zhao's body is very likely to have been infected in the capital, it's just that the poison didn't show up at that time."

Zen Master Huijue said that there are tens of thousands of types of Gu poisons, each of which is different. Many Gu poisons do not immediately attack and take time.

"If this is the case, the whole thing is a conspiracy from beginning to end, and the ultimate purpose of everything is to ruin this Zhao family army."

"We just want to find this person. The tyrant is naturally inseparable. He is dead now. But there must still be people living in this world, and even benefit from it." Jiang Pingping took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Shaoyan, "Miss Jiang Si, what we have to do is to find the truth behind it."

It doesn't seem so important to reveal the truth to the world at this time. For them, the meaning of finding the truth is to let those dead soldiers rest in peace.

Jiang Shaoyan hugged the teacup and looked at Jiang Pingping: "What about Miss Fang? What did Miss Fang do? How did you get in touch with the Fang family?"

Looking at Fang Zhihui's appearance, she doesn't seem to know these things. The Fang family can call the shots, and the only one who can completely hide Fang Zhihui, a silly elder sister, is Miss Fang.

"We met the Fang family's caravan on the riverside under Baidi City, and finally returned to Baoling among the merchant ships that Miss Fang personally escorted. The individual patients among them were arranged at Miss Fang's place." Among the merchant ships, after all, no one dares to come and go in and out of the place where Miss Fang is, and it is easier for Tibetans." Jiang Pingping said.

"As for the merchant ships that fled to Baoling from other places in Baoling City, the shipwreck in Baoling City, and the fact that none of the soldiers on board survived is a joint play between us and the Fang family. The treasures on the merchant ships are Miss Fang got it here, and the people on the merchant ship are not soldiers, they are death row prisoners who voluntarily died."

As for why you must sing this song...

"Someone found the bird and beast cave on the cliff to escape, and we traced it all the way. In order to completely isolate the trouble, we and Miss Fang did this good show of Li Daitao stiff. Sure enough, the boat sank inexplicably near Baoling City. No one on board survived."

This further confirms that there is a mastermind behind this incident.

Jiang Shaoyan nodded: So far, everything they have done is to make the mastermind behind the scenes think that those people are already dead, and this matter will be buried forever in Baidi City along with the fire.

but……

"Miss Fang has nothing to do with you before, why does she, a wealthy family far away in Jiangnan Road, help you?"

After all, the Zhao family's army was in a miserable state at that time, and later there was a man behind the scene who didn't even know his identity. There was no reason for a rich man far away in Jiangnan Road to get involved.

"Miss Jiang Fourth is a good question. Our Fang family has been a businessman for generations, so we shouldn't do things that are thankless and without any reward!" A woman's voice sounded from outside the door.

Jiang Shaoyan turned her head and looked at the person who pushed in through the door.

Miss Fang, Fang Zhiyao.

Pulling the door behind her, Fang Zhiyao met Jiang Shaoyan, raised her hand, and said, "Miss Jiang Si, I heard that girl Zhihui mentioned you."

"Miss Fang!" Jiang Shaoyan stood up and saluted her back.

"Miss Jiang Si doesn't need to be so out of touch." Fang Zhiyao walked to the table and sat down, then poured a cup of tea for herself, and after the cup of tea entered her belly, she said to Jiang Pingping and Jiang Shaoyan: "Some account books Look, it's a bit late."

It was not too late, it was just right when they finished talking about Baidi City and started talking about her.

"Miss Jiang Si, have you ever heard the saying that Lu Buwei and Wei Qi are suitable for living in the pre-Qin period?" Fang Zhiyao looked at Jiang Shaoyan, and looked at the girl calmly and calmly. Dodge, "I just want to imitate Lu Buwei's actions in the pre-Qin period!"

"Lu Buweitu's rare goods can be lived because the hostess can be the Emperor of Qin, and the businessmen with the help of the Emperor of Qin are naturally different." Jiang Shaoyan shook his head at Fang Zhiyao, "How can Miss Fang help them do this? "

This remark made Fang Zhiyao's eyes flash with strangeness, but Jiang Pingping who was on the side laughed wryly after hearing this: Even though Fourth Miss Jiang is not good at business, Miss Fang intends to use Miss Jiang Fourth's way of doing business that outsiders don't understand to fool this woman. Boy, it really doesn't work.

Miss Jiang Si is not easy to deceive, but anyway, it is always a blessing to have such a companion instead of an opponent.

Fang Zhiyao obviously understood this point.After a pause, she said: "The way outsiders say that our Fang family started up is a bit detrimental..."

Does it mean that the ancestors of the Fang family practiced a pair of discerning eyes in a pawn shop and then started digging up ancient artifacts?

"It's not all a lie. In our generation, there are only four sisters. Before my father died, I was told to do something to make up for my sins. The Zhao family army is a good army. Since I encountered it, there was no reason to do nothing. "Fang Zhiyao said, paused, and then said, "Of course it is not a lie to imitate Lu Buwei. It was always the Zhao family army. At that time, the Zhao family was powerful in the world. I thought that if I saved them, I might use this Get some benefits."

From this point of view, the risk is not worth taking.

"This reason really made sense before the Zhao family took over the world, but after His Majesty ascended the throne, the group of them..." Jiang Shaoyan raised her finger to Jiang Pingping, and said unceremoniously, "Be suspicious of Your Majesty. You are clear about it! Since you are a merchant, if you want to protect the Fang family's boat, you should not expose them, but you should also clear up your relationship with them, but why didn't you take any action?"

"Because I can't pick it out clearly." Fang Zhiyao frowned. At first, she was somewhat skeptical of Miss Jiang Si, who was boasting in the firecracker letter from the second sister, but now she really felt the difficulty of the girl in front of her. " Chen Wanyan has been investigating these years, and has already found some evidence of the existence of their so-called 'deserters', so following the clues, he must soon be able to find out that our Fang family meddled in the matter back then."

This is also the reason why Chen Wanyan must die.
