Will Ming

When Xue Wanche woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.A ray of bright light from the sun slanted in from the door of the military tent, and just happened to shine on Xue Wanche's face.Because of the pale golden sunlight, Xue Wanche's pale face didn't look so ugly.He slowly opened his eyes, but the sun hurt his eyes again.

"General! You are awake, you scared me to death."

Seeing Xue Wanche opened his eyes, the family general Xue Bao cried out excitedly. Xue Bao, who hadn't slept all night, looked haggard and frightened all night. When he saw Xue Wanche woke up, he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart for a while and even cried.He is the general of the Xue family, and grew up with Xue Wanche since he was a child.That day in Sashui, Xue Shixiong sent him to pull Xue Wanche back, but he was scolded by Xue Wanche and had to follow Xue Wanche to save others.He didn't dare to go back to see Xue Shixiong, let alone worry about Xue Wanche's safety.

General Yan's soldiers brought Xue Wanche back yesterday, saying that he had been poisoned.But Xue Bao was terrified. Fortunately, General Yan had a Captain Dugu who was good at detoxification.

"Xue Bao?"

Xue Wanche frowned slightly, feeling the pain in his throat was like a dry river bed, which seemed to be split open.The hoarse voice was like his, but more like the voice of a ghost who had just woken up.The first thing I felt when I woke up was a burning pain in my throat, but the pain in my stomach was not so obvious in comparison.Then there was no strength in the whole body, and I couldn't even lift my arms.

"I'm not dead?"

Xue Wanche asked hoarsely.

Xue Bao hurriedly brought a bowl of water and helped Xue Wanche take a few sips.

"General, how could you die because of your great fortune? But General, when General Yan's soldiers sent you back yesterday, I was terrified. Fortunately, the poison has been cured."

"poison?"

After drinking a few sips of water, Xue Wanche felt a little better.He motioned Xue Bao to help him up and sit up, then shook his head lightly, feeling as if there was a pot of water in his head swaying back and forth, the pain was terribly painful.

"I've been poisoned?"

Xue Wanche asked after waking himself up for a while.

"General, don't you know?"

Xue Bao asked in surprise.

Xue Wanche remembered that before he passed out, his stomach hurt as if a knife was stirring. The pain was so severe that he quickly fell to the ground and passed out.Thinking about it, it should be poisoned.But how could he be poisoned?Also, since he was poisoned, why didn't he die?

"Xue Bao, tell me the story again. I drank at General Dugu's place yesterday. Why did I get poisoned? Where is Yan Yun? Where is Dugu Zhen?"

Hearing Duguzhen's name, Xue Bao was so angry that his expression changed: "General, why are you still mentioning that villain!"

He said angrily: "It is Duguzhen who poisoned the wine between you and General Yanyun. If it weren't for the captain Dugu under General Yanyun who knew medical principles, I'm afraid that both you and General Yan would be killed by that damned Duguzhen." Yes! Yesterday Dugu Ruizhi, the school lieutenant under General Yan, guarded you here in the middle of the night, and rushed back to take care of General Yan after making sure that you were not in danger."

"Yan Yun was also poisoned?"

Xue Wanche was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that he had indeed seen Yan Yun before he fell into a coma, and he staggered down.He remembered again, it seemed that Dugu really fell first.Since Dugu really poisoned Yan Yun and himself, why did he also fall down?

"What about Duguzhen?"

Xue Wanche asked in a weak voice.

Xue Bao gritted his teeth and said, "Dead!"

"died?!"

Xue Wanche's heart skipped a beat, and there was a buzzing sound in his mind. The sound was like the waves of the sea, and he felt as if he had been slapped by the waves.His mind went blank for a moment.It took him a while to wake up, and he took Xue Bao's hand and asked, "How did Dugu really die?"

"He deserves it!"

Xue Bao gritted his teeth and said: "In order not to make you and General Yan suspect, he also poisoned his own wine. But he had the antidote on him, and for some reason, he fell down before he could eat it. It is said that at that time his soldiers thought he drank too much and gave him a lot of water. Hehe! Lieutenant Dugu said that the more water he drank, the faster the poison would attack. The antidote was on him, unfortunately But he didn't have the strength to take it out by himself, which made me laugh to death."

As soon as Dugu really died, Xue Bao felt relieved.

"Duguzhen also arranged an ambush outside the tent, intending to kill both you and General Yan. Hehe, man is doing it, and God is watching! He committed evil himself, so he poisoned himself to death? General, you don't know, Duguzhen was poisoned and shouted for his soldiers to hack you and General Yan to death. Many people heard it at the time. And those soldiers really dared to do it! At that time, General Yan thought that Duguzhen's soldiers had mutinied and ran over Rescue him, but General Yan collapsed after the poisoning occurred, and Dugu’s real soldiers wanted to kill General Yan, but luckily Captain Xiong Kuohai arrived with his men and slaughtered those damned things!”

"Happy! Such a scum should be killed!"

Xue Bao said with spit flying all over the place.

"yes……"

Xue Wanche only felt that he was very tired and didn't want to say a word anymore.Seeing that he was tired, Xue Bao quickly helped him to lie down and said: "General, please rest for a while, I will go to Captain Dugu. He told me before he left, if you wake up, General, call him immediately .”

"go……"

Xue Wanche seemed weak and didn't want to speak, he nodded slowly and couldn't help but continued: "Look at General Yan...how is it?"

Seeing that Xue Wanche was fine, Xue Bao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay! I'll go now."

After Xue Bao left the camp, Xue Wanche slowly closed his eyes.At this moment, he felt uncomfortable as if a big rock was blocked in his heart.Compared with the depression in the heart, the pain in the throat, and the headache are nothing.He knew that Li Xian was definitely not a victim like Xue Bao said.It's just that Dugu's death is indeed his own fault, no wonder Li Xian.He didn't know that the poison was actually given by Li Xian, and he took it for granted that since Dugu could really hide the ambush and poison the wine, it was nothing.

It's just that he didn't expect that the evil person has his own evil person's fruit. God is watching, and he was poisoned and had an early attack without even taking the antidote.

In order to kill Yan Yun and me, I ambushed first and then poisoned. The members of the Dugu family are indeed cruel and merciless, and the guy from the Dugu family who is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment is also a vicious person.

But, what is Dugu Zhen doing all this for?

Xue Wanche was in a bad mood, because he found that the friendship between life and death has become worthless in front of rights and credit.He could guess why Duguzhen did this, he also came from a family, he knew what power and credit meant to a child from a family who was born in a concubine.The Dugu family is a first-class family in the Sui Dynasty, not comparable to their Xue family.But fortunately, this is the case, and there are fewer intrigues and nasty things in Xue's family.Moreover, several of his brothers are very harmonious.

Although Duguzhen is hateful, death is not a pity.

But... what about Yan Yun?Is Dugu's death really accidental?Obviously, when Yan Yun transferred Xiong Kuohai's heavy armored infantry to Duguzhen's camp, he must be defending Duguzhen.Moreover, when he and Yan Yun came out, Yan Yun said that he didn't know if there was urine escape in the Art of War. Although this sentence sounded like a joke, in retrospect, Yan Yun seemed very helpless in his tone.

He didn't plan to take the initiative!

Xue Wanche thought that if Yanyun wanted to take the initiative, he could definitely use Xiong Kuohai to capture Duguzhen.They can even violently kill people while drinking, after all, Yan Yun knows that Dugu really set up an ambush outside the tent.He wanted to take advantage of the convenience of coming out to leave, and he dragged me along because it was inconvenient to point out.

Xue Wanche opened his eyes and exhaled lightly.

Yan Yun is still too soft-hearted. If such a person really has the heart to rebel, will he succeed?

He thought of Duguzhen again, Duguzhen was ruthless, but in the end he died in front of Yan Yun who seemed like a benevolent woman.Is this God's will, or is it inevitable?The Sui Dynasty has always claimed to build the country with benevolence and filial piety, but can benevolence and filial piety really stand?Among the nobles in the Sui court, which one has the benevolence and virtue?Even Your Majesty... Thinking of this, Xue Wanche suddenly woke up, what's wrong with me, how could I have such rebellious thoughts!

……

……

While Xue Wanche was thinking wildly, Li Xian was drinking in his military tent. This time he drank not poisonous wine, nor the bad wine from Goguryeo.He was enjoying a jug of rare wine from the Western Regions very comfortably, which he found by accident when he was visiting the fortress.There was not much wine, only a small wooden barrel. When Wang Qinian found it, he keenly realized that this was a good opportunity to flatter him, so he immediately sent it to Li Xian.

If Li Xian can enjoy wine tasting leisurely, it means that he is fine and fine.

Of course he was poisoned, at least that's how it seemed to others.There is no poison in his body at all, not because he took the antidote beforehand, but because the poisoning was simply a deception by him.Li Xian would not taste the poison himself in order to plot against Dugu Zhen, even if he himself is a master of poison now, even if there is Dugu Ruizhi beside him, he would not be so stupid as to drink a little poisoned wine himself.When it comes to his own safety, Li Xian has always been very timid.

Duguzhen fell from the poison, Xue Wanche fell from the poison, and he fell. Although he was not poisoned, it was natural for everyone to think that he was also poisoned.

When Duguzhen arranged for people to ambush, Li Xian's Flying Tiger spy in the dark had already been discovered.In fact, before Xue Wanche approached Li Xian, Li Xian already knew what Duguzhen was going to do.

The reason why he went, the reason why he chose to get rid of Duguzhen in that way, was because he really didn't want to attack Xue Wanche.
