Abandoned daughter by a genius doctor: Sheng Chong Jiu Huangfei

Chapter 223 Know Yourself and the Enemy, Know Yourself Before Knowing the Enemy

"But we came here with the water of the Lanjiang River!" Lie Feng said: "We are walking all the way to Qingzhou. Although this is not Qingzhou, it has also entered the water system of the Lanjiang River. You are a native of this place, so you naturally know. Nearby, there is only one pontoon bridge that can be walked on, and if the water level rises, the pontoon bridge is full of water."

"This..." The villagers looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"I believe everyone is also very clear that Chu State has always been hostile to Xuanyuan, and the new Emperor Yun of Chu State has hidden ambitions. A few days ago, he concluded a peace agreement with Xuanyuan. Spies will instigate even bigger conflicts. Since Chu's killers are ambushed by the Lanjiang River, how do you know that those who died by the river were not the hands and feet of those killers?

The Lanjiang River has been flowing like this for thousands of years. If it was really poisonous, wouldn't the ancestors have died long ago?What's more, have you ever seen a dead fish floating in the river? Even a fish can't be poisoned, how can it kill a person? "

"Yes, there is some truth in what I said, why didn't I think about it that way before?"

"There are some livestock corpses floating in that big river, but I have never seen fish corpses..."

"According to this, the water in the big river is not poisonous, and it's all the people of Chu's plan?"

"But I saw it with my own eyes..."

At this time, an old man in his 60s stood up and said with some shame: "My neighbors, to tell you the truth, the night my son left, I felt that I had no way out, so I went to the Lanjiang River. , I wanted to jump into the river and die, but I was afraid of causing panic for everyone, so I took a ladle of water and poured it into my stomach.

When I got home, I was waiting to die, but after waiting for so long, I didn’t die. I thought it was my luck, and the ladle just happened to be non-poisonous, but now I hear the adults say so. Having said that, I think the water in the big river may really be non-toxic! "

"It's really not poisonous."

"Then we haven't dared to drink the water in the big river for such a long time. When we are really thirsty, we even drink our own urine. Isn't it... stupid?"

"If the water in the big river isn't poisonous, there's no need for them to leave their homes and run outside to avoid disaster..."

"Then...the water in the big river is not poisonous anymore, isn't the well water in our village also poisonous?"

Someone asked a very important question.

"Whether the well water is poisonous or not, I'll go check it right away." Feng Yunqing said, then turned around and said to Lie Feng and the others: "Go and remove the things that cover the well first."

"Yes, ma'am." Lie Feng and the others followed Feng Yunqing's request, and after a while, all the coverings were removed.The well is so big that three or four people can get water together at the same time.

"Giefeng, don't move yet." Feng Yunqing walked over and stood by the well all the time, and asked Xiaodan to inspect the well water.

In less than a minute, Xiaodan gave the answer—Master, the well water is non-toxic, but a little cloudy, probably because of the rising water level of the big river.

"Bring up a bucket of water." Feng Yunqing was relieved, and asked Lie Feng and others to fetch water: "It's better to bring up a few more buckets. Then bring these buckets of water over there."

Several buckets of water were placed in front of everyone.

The few people standing in front were still afraid of death, so they took two steps back.

In order to convince these people that the water is non-toxic, Feng Yunqing used the simplest method that the villagers could believe, put a long and thin silver needle in the water, and showed it to everyone after a while: "The easiest way , is the silver needle to test poison, if the silver needle turns black, it means that the water is highly poisonous, but everyone, the silver needle has not changed color."

"It hasn't changed color, the silver needle really hasn't turned black, and the well water isn't poisonous either!" The so-called seeing is believing, so the villagers finally saw hope, and all of them lit up their eyes. Stand in front of it.

"A poison that can kill a person must be highly poisonous. Since it is highly poisonous, silver needles can usually detect it," Feng Yunqing said again: "It's just that not all poisons can be tested with silver needles. So, I will use some more methods to test it.”

"Gaiefeng, bring over the prey we caught in the mountains."

When passing through the forest just now, Liefeng and the others went for a walk in the mountains and got some prey. When they went there, Feng Yunqing asked them to catch them alive as much as possible. He didn't understand what that meant, after all, living things never die The things are easy to carry, now, I know what Feng Yunqing wants these prey to do.

Soon, wild deer and wild goats tied with ropes, two or three hares, and five or six pheasants were brought over.

"Feed this well water to these prey to drink." Feng Yunqing ordered.

Everyone worked together, poured water down on the prey, and then waited to see how the prey reacted.

A quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, and half an hour passed... Not only did the prey show no signs of poisoning at all, but because they were in a more open place, they became very lively.

Feng Yunqing then smiled and said: "Okay, these prey have not been poisoned after drinking the well water, which proves that the well water is indeed non-toxic. If that villager has a big pot at home, and he brought it to the village, heated it up Water, we will slaughter all these prey tonight!"

"Yes, yes, I have it at home." The lame middle-aged man said: "I believe that the water in the big river is not poisonous, and the well water in our village is also not poisonous, and the water is even less likely to be poisonous that day. Those people who said it was poisonous before must be the secret agents of the enemy country. Those goddamn secret agents have harmed the people in our village so badly.

My lord, tomorrow morning, I will go to the nearby villages and tell them all about the conspiracy of the enemy country. I will drink water and show them. Make it out and kill me! "

"Yes! I'll go too! I used to be a soldier, and I was fortunate enough to be with the regent. Although I'm just a soldier and have never met the regent, the regent told us that every man has the right to deal with the affairs of the country. If I hadn’t become disabled, I’d be guarding the Lanjiang River now, and if I don’t leave, I just want to wait for the people from the imperial court to come and see what else I can do.” Said a disabled person without hands .

"Been a soldier? Under which battalion flag?" Xuanyuan Yelan's eyes fell on that man.

"Haiqing camp." The man was a little embarrassed: "Haiqing is my younger brother. After I retired from the army, a younger brother was born in my family, so I named him Haiqing."

Xuanyuan Yelan nodded, he did look seven or eight years older than that Haiqing.

Both brothers have become disabled, but the blood in their bones is still boiling.

"Qingyuan, you are the deputy general of the Haiqing Battalion, recognize him."

"Yes, master!" A man stood out from among the guards, glanced at the man with broken hands, and immediately said: "This man's name is Haidong, he is the fireman in the camp. On the battlefield, he fought bravely, but his hands were cut off by the enemy's sword. The camp gave him ten taels of gold and escorted him all the way back to his hometown. That year there were bandits around here, and his younger brother was killed by bandits right after he was born. After the ticket was tied, the soldiers who sent him wiped out all the bandits, and it was at the hands of the bandits that his younger brother injured his leg..."

Every bodyguard around Xuanyuan Yelan is a fierce general in the army, and they will go back to Xuanyuan Imperial City with him, and accept his mission assignments on weekdays. At the same time, they will train recruits in the Prince Regent's Mansion, and study the art of war with Xuanyuan Yelan. Return to the army and become a general in the army.

There are five battalions in the Qingzhou Navy, and the Haiqing Battalion is one of them. As the deputy battalion commander of the Haiqing Battalion, Qingyuan knows by heart the roster and portraits of the [-] soldiers in the Haiqing Battalion. The most basic requirements of a lieutenant general.

Familiar with each of my soldiers, their specialties, personalities, and abilities, so that they can be placed in the most suitable position when marching and fighting...

——Xuanyuan Yelan's ability to win every battle is not only due to his military talent and strategy, but more importantly, the whole army, regardless of their position or status, can be united as one, and this unity depends on the daily dedication The countless painstaking efforts - to know ourselves and the enemy, and to know ourselves before knowing the enemy!
The man's eyes widened immediately. He knew that the deputy battalion commander of the Haiqing Battalion was named Qing Yuan, but Qing Yuan was not the only deputy battalion commander of the Haiqing Battalion. Qing Yuan was the most mysterious person, because he Follow the regent's side, just like the battalion commander, directly obey the regent's orders. "

But now Qingyuan is the bodyguard of this lord, could it be that this lord is... the regent? !
"Since they are your soldiers, their brothers will go to other villages tomorrow morning, and you go with them. Be sure to protect their safety," Xuanyuan Yelan said.

"Yes, master!" Qing Yuan accepted the order.

"Although he is a retired soldier, he can help the court again to clarify that the water is non-toxic. Naturally, he is also meritorious. The reward must be given. Since he was given ten taels of gold when he retired, he will also be given ten taels this time. Gold as a reward."

Twelve taels of gold is already the cost of a lifetime for ordinary people.

"This... this is too much." Na Haiqing smiled innocently, and he was naturally happy when he had money.

Haidong gave him a hand: "Since it was given by the adults, we will take it."

He knelt down: "Thank you sir and madam for your compassion!"

He already had a guess in his heart, but the strict military discipline let him know - Xuanyuan Yelan and Feng Yunqing didn't reveal their identities, so he didn't mention it.

Next, it was a very pleasant night to kill deer and sheep, cook meat and roast the fire.

In the middle of the night, Feng Yunqing fell into a drowsy sleep, saw Xuanyuan Yelan in the front room, and asked Liefeng and the others: "Is everything resolved?"
