661 It’s Too Hard to Guard Against
Everyone present heard Shi Qingluo’s words.
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. If the immortals came out to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, wouldn’t it be chaotic?
The old general looked at Shi Qingluo and could not help but ask, “Did the old immortal really predict that we would win?”
Although they had won this time, their overall strength was still slightly inferior to Ge Kingdom. He had been in the northern border for more than 20 years and knew this very well.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “That’s right. My master predicted that we would win. After all, Ge Kingdom is the invading party.”
Then, she changed the topic and said, “However, we can’t win just by sitting down. My master told me in my dream that the soldiers of Daliang have to work together to win.”
It was definitely not possible to win while lying down.
If it was in the past, the old general would definitely scoff at these predictions. However, after seeing Shi Qingluo fly in with his own eyes and the small black ball that fell from the sky, he completely believed in the existence of the old immortal.
Therefore, after hearing Shi Qingluo’s confirmation, he had a lot more confidence in winning.
The others had similar thoughts.
Even Liang Hengxiao had a high-spirited look on his face. “This time, we must make Ge Kingdom afraid.”
He said to Xiao Hanzheng, “Ye Lui Donghe has been defeated this time. With his competitive nature, I am afraid he will make a comeback soon. We have to be careful.”
Ever since Ge Kingdom had confirmed that the commander was Ye Lui Donghe, he had studied his battle habits and temperament.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled. “He may not have the chance to make a comeback.”
Liang Hengxiao and the others were confused. “Why?”
Xiao Hanzheng did not keep them in suspense. “I have already given him a taste of his own medicine.”
He then said to the Third Prince: “I found out that it was Ye Lui Donghe’s plan to poison you. That’s why I joined forces with the forces of the previous dynasty.”
“Since they can poison us, so can we!”
Liang Hengxiao’s eyes lit up. “You got someone to poison Ye Lui Donghe?”
Then, he asked worriedly, “But he’s a very cautious person. I heard that everything that enters his mouth has to be tasted before it’s eaten. Will he succeed?”
Xiao Hanzheng said, “I didn’t ask anyone to poison him. I did it myself. And it worked.”
Liang Hengxiao and the others were a little confused. “Ah, when did you poison him?”
“Do you still remember that my husband stabbed Ye Lui Donghe with his sword?” Shi Qingluo smiled.
Ye Lui Donghe was scheming against people behind their backs. Of course, they could do it. If they wanted to be a gentleman, then they would have to be schemed against by others. It was meaningless.
Xiao Hanzheng knew that his wife was the only one who knew him. “Yes, I have put poison on the sword. Ye Lui Donghe is probably dead now.”
The people present did not expect Xiao Hanzheng to return the poison so quickly.
If it were them, they would not have thought of this at all.
Liang Hengxiao found Xiao Hanzheng even more pleasing to the eye. “Will he be unconscious too?”
The period of time he was lying down was the most difficult period of his life.
Of course, he wanted to let the culprit have a taste of this.
Xiao Hanzheng gave him a knowing smile. “Of course. If he can’t find the doctor to cure him, he will be in a coma for the rest of his life.”
The poison he had given the Third Prince was much more sophisticated than the one the Ge Kingdom had given him.
Liang Hengxiao gave Xiao Hanzheng a thumbs up. “Good job!”
Although the others felt that poisoning was not too honorable, since the other party had done so, they accepted it well.
They could only say that he deserved it.
Looking at the smile on Xiao Hanzheng’s face, they felt a chill down their spines.
They realized that Lord Xiao was very dark. It was best not to provoke him in the future. Otherwise, they would not have a good ending.
Princess Fu Bao was also not to be provoked. Other than her black-hearted and scheming husband, she also had an old immortal master.
Xiao Hanzheng said, “Everyone, go and rest. We will attack the temporary military camp of Ge Kingdom tomorrow.”
No one had any objections to this. They all knew the principle of taking advantage of your weakness to take your life.
With Ye Lui Donghe suddenly unconscious and today’s defeat, the morale of the remaining Ge troops was definitely low.
It just so happened that their situation had changed.
Although Xiao Hanzheng was young and a civil official, he was a genius in war.
The old general and the others were still thinking that it would be a waste of Xiao Hanzheng’s talent to let him stay in the army and become the prefect of North City.
Xiao Hanzheng did not know what they were thinking either. Otherwise, he would have thanked them. He really did not need it.
He still preferred to be a civil servant. He was actually better at playing politics than fighting…
All the generals were on their side and Xiao Hanzheng had told them not to tell anyone about the raid tomorrow, so they kept their mouths shut.
After the others left, Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo went back to their room to rest.
News of this battle spread as quickly as possible.
Eagles and pigeons flew toward the capital, North City, Ge Kingdom’s capital, North King Mansion, and so on.
On the other side, Ye Lui Donghe successfully met with the soldiers who came to receive him. They continued to travel for more than two hours before they finally set up camp on a mountain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
After the commander’s tent was built, the military doctor treated and bandaged Ye Lui Donghe’s wounds.
Just as Ye Lui Donghe was about to talk about the following arrangements, he suddenly felt a sweetness in his heart and couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of black blood.
He was even more dizzy and soon blacked out.
...
The generals present were shocked and immediately let the military doctor take a look.
“The Commander is poisoned,” the military doctor said after a long examination.
A hot-tempered general grabbed the military doctor’s collar and lifted him up. “How did the Commander get poisoned? Didn’t you notice it before?”
The military doctor’s forehead was covered in sweat. “I really couldn’t tell before. I guess that there might be poison in the place where he was stabbed. I want to take a look again.”
If it weren’t for the fact that the military doctor was still useful, the general would have killed him. “Trash, didn’t you just bandage your wound?”
The military doctor looked helpless. “The person who stabbed the Commander is not only the new commander of Daliang, but also the disciple of the godly doctor. I heard that he’s a master of poison. I’m not as good as him, so I didn’t notice it.”
Who would have thought that a good divine doctor would actually know how to fight? How would the other people who led troops to fight live? How would the military doctors like them survive?
The general was so angry that he wanted to pull out his saber, but he was stopped by the other generals. They asked the military doctor to re-examine the general.
The military doctor opened the bandaged wound and found that the originally red blood had suddenly turned black.
His expression also changed. He finally understood why the poison had not taken effect on the marshal along the way, but it had taken effect after bandaging his wound.
It seemed that this poison would only be activated when it came into contact with the Golden Wound Medicine. No wonder he had not discovered it before.
...
However, the marshal had been injured by a sword, so it was impossible for him not to use medicine to bandage it. Otherwise, once the wound became inflamed, he might die.
It had to be said that Xiao Hanzheng’s trick was too unpredictable and he had to fall for it.
If Xiao Hanzheng was one of them, he would have praised him.
But now, all he wanted to do was to curse Xiao Hanzheng’s ancestors. He was so unlucky to have encountered such a situation and he was helpless!
