Chapter 423 Demon Knife Out of Sheath

After noon the next day, the Tubo delegation arrived. A total of more than a hundred people, more than 20 yak carts, pulling countless urns.

In history, few people who marched and died in battle can return to their hometowns. It's a good ending to be able to dig a hole and bury it in the ground. Therefore, although these urns can't tell who is who at present, it is a good ending for those martyrs.

The generals of the Tang army set up a white sail soul flag in the camp and set up a large mourning hall to welcome the martyrs in the same robes to "go home". When the messengers of Tibet took the yak cart into the camp, the soldiers were all in a complicated mood. They didn't know whether they should hate them or thank them.

"I've fought for half my life, and it's really the first time I've seen such a thing." Hou Junji said to Qin Mubai, "Don't say it's the Han-Hu battle. Even when I followed your majesty's southern expedition to the north to fight the civil war in the early years, I have never seen any anti-king of the Central Plains do such a thing."

Qin Mubai didn't say anything about this, but told him and Xue Wanjun that although their respective masters fought to the death, these things should be solved on the battlefield. Since the other party is humane and generous, we can't be unreasonable. Kill the cattle and slaughter the sheep to entertain these messengers. After that, send them back to make sure that they are not hurt.

As a result, the second general followed the implementation, and Qin Mubai also sent several fine confidants to be responsible for the hospitality. One is to prevent the anger of the generals and soldiers in the army, and the other is to prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to steal military secrets.

After the order was completed, Qin Mubai stopped asking about such trivial matters.

Naturally, there is no reason for the two armies to retain each other's messengers overnight. After the evening dinner, these Tubo people left knowingly. Unexpectedly, several of them suddenly suffered from an emergency, foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, twitching all over and about to die!

Several messengers led by Tubo were furious and scolded the Han people for being untrustworthy, unrighteous, despicable and shameless. They actually poisoned their diet and plotted against their own side. The generals of the Tang army were angry in their hearts. After the explanation was invalid, they quarreled with them tit-for-tat. If they hadn't stopped them in time, they would have been angry and clashed on the spot.

Xue Wanjun immediately reported the matter to Qin Mubai and said to him that the Tubo barbarian was obviously cheating. If we want to take his life, why should we plot? The sheep entered the tiger's mouth and took it directly - I don't know what their intention is!

Qin Mubai thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the other party has other plans. In this case, it's better to wait and see what they want to do. Invite a few old-fashioned military doctors to come, and I will take them to see the sick sergeants of Tibet.

Later, Qin Mubai took several military doctors to visit the temporary camp of the Tubo people. It is true that four of them fell ill, and they were all in a coma. After diagnosis, the military doctor confirmed that they were all poisoned but did not die. At present, it is impossible to determine what kind of poison it is, so it will take some time to detoxify. Now, we can only exhale and wash their abdomen to relieve toxicity first.

Those Tubo people roared and scolded Tang Jun for his unfaithful righteousness and so on. Qin Mubai asked someone to press them down and told them that it was not convenient for the two armies to keep guests. Most of them must leave the barracks now and return to their own army, leaving a few people to take care of the patients. These poisoned Tubo sergeants were treated by the Tang army and escorted them back.

Tubo people are indomitable and say things like "Why do I believe you?" Qin Mubai couldn't help getting a little angry and said coldly, "Is it really harmful to you? Does it take so many weeks? When I say something, I will keep my promise. Who dares to mess up our military rules here? Kill them as an example! Anyway, you have put the notoriety on us!"

It's hard to be a good man, but it's easy to be a villain.

As soon as this statement came out, the Tubo people did not dare to make a fuss. They obediently drove the ox cart and left the Tang army camp, leaving eight people to take care of the four sick sergeants.

After handling it properly, Qin Mubai first called the military doctors to ask questions in private. They unanimously decided that it must be the poisoned by the Tubo people themselves, using bitter meat. Because the poison among those Tubo sergeants is extremely rare. How can it be something in the Tang army marching outside? It must be an extra-local poison!

The conclusion was unexpected to Qin Mubai. After being confirmed, he thought to himself that these Tubo people thought of a way to stay, and they just wanted to spy on our military situation. Normally, in order to force weakness, the Chalqin Mausoleum should not use such despicable means. Is it... coming for the Shenwu cannon and the Voul?

It's possible!

Thinking of this, Qin Mubai summoned the camp guard Xue Wanjun and Huoshen commander Zhang Tong, and ordered them to strictly guard the secrets. In addition, the military tent residences of more than a dozen Tubo people were strictly controlled and monitored, and a ban was imposed.

A few days later, the sergeant in charge of monitoring reported to Qin Mubai every day. These Tubo people's every move did not find anything strange. They only eat and drink every day, do not leave the military tent, and do not ask anyone about anything. The military doctor who visited every day reported that the poison of the poisoned Tubo people has not been found out now, and the poison on their bodies naturally can't be solved. But strangely, their condition neither improved nor deteriorated, as if someone was under control.

"What do they want to stay here for nothing?" Qin Mubai couldn't help muttering, thinking about it for a while, and ordered his men to continue to monitor closely, and immediately return it directly as soon as there was a abnormality.

In the afternoon of this day, the grain and salary materials sent by the imperial court finally arrived at the Dafeichuan barracks. The escort officer was Changsun Xuan, the current general Zuo Weiwei, who also served as the deputy general manager of the army of the Governor's Office of Lanzhou and the march of Xihai Road - second only to Xue Wanjun.

With it, there is also a caravan of Qin Xian's business, and the leading "little shopkeeper" is actually Su Lianqing.

When she left Lanzhou a few days ago, Qin Mubai made a list for Wu Mei Niang and asked her to help purchase a lot of things, including a large number of medicinal materials to be used before the battle. However, Wu Mei Niang is already pregnant and has difficulty moving. In addition, Su Lianqing is an "proficient in medical poison", so this matter fell on Su Lianqing.

Now it seems that she has completed this mission quite well and brought in a large number of available medicinal materials. The first battle was full of wounded soldiers, and these things just solved the urgent needs of the army.

Food and salary and medicine have been well supplemented in a timely manner. The Dafeichuan military camp seemed to have been injected with a strong heart, and the soldiers were relieved and encouraged.

After handing over the supplies, Changsun Fu went to the Chinese army commander's tent to meet Qin Mubai.

"My eldest grandson, see Master Qin!" He bowed his fist under one knee, and the eldest grandson was meticulous.

"Don't be polite." Qin Mubai said, "Changsun, fortunately, you have worked hard all the way and sent a lot of food and salary in time, just like sending charcoal in the snow. I, handsome, thank you on behalf of all the generals.

"Why do you need to thank the young commander? I'm just performing my duties!" Changsun Xun lowered his eyebrows and was very polite, and he answered more carefully. "In addition, I am now a member of the Kansai Army. What I did was not only for my brothers, but also for myself.

The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth raised gently, as if he were smiling.

Changsun's heart was blocked. He didn't know what Qin Mubai's expression meant, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense.

"You have worked hard far away. Let's go and have a good rest first. I'll send someone to arrange a residence for you, and then send a few more sharp firemen to take care of your diet and living. If there are any requirements, just tell them directly. Qin Mubai said.

Changsun Huan felt uncomfortable. Hearing Qin Mubai's words, on the one hand, he didn't want to talk nonsense with him. On the other hand, he obviously treated himself as a "guest" and sent people to be careful.

Thinking back, Changsun, who was new to Tao, didn't dare to say a word of nonsense. After thanking Qin Mubai, he said goodbye and left.

"Here comes a big thorn." Qin Mubai thought to himself with a sneer on his face, "Changsun Wuji's move is exquisite. He sends a son to Dafeichuan to play around. He can not only hear my every move, but also get close to me to show his broad-mindedness and pave the way for the future. Changsun's embroidered pillow is only worthy of dancing guns and sticks in the capital to scare people. How can he fight? Come on, it's a burden. I have to find an excuse to get him back to Lanzhou and ask Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, to take good care of him for me..."

At this time, there was a noise outside the tent, interrupting Qin Mubai's thinking.

"Hey, Qin Mubai, I'm here! - Hey, don't you short-sighted pawns, don't you even know me? How dare you block me!"

"Bold shrew, military aircraft should not make noise! Otherwise, the military law will be severely punished!"

Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Another bigger thorn!"

"Let her in."

Su Lianqing rushed in with fire and trembled with laughter when he saw Qin Mubai, "Haha! I haven't seen Qin Mubai for many days. You're not dead yet! - Oh, you have a beautiful white face!"

"Your mouth is still so open-mouthed." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Why are you leading the caravan?"

"If it's not me, who else can it be?" Su Lianqing said, "The owner's stomach is getting bigger and bigger, and he can only raise the fetus at home. The rest of the little housekeeper can't do these medical work, and he can't deal with the army. Of course, I can only go out and shoulder heavy responsibilities!"

"It's just right." Qin Mubai's heart lit up and remembered one thing, so he called her closer and whispered, "I have one more thing to ask you, a poisonous lady, for help!"

"Good to say! - But I have the conditions!" Su Lianqing said with a dewd smile.

"Oh, how dare you negotiate with me?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing and said, "T talk to me?"

"What do you want me to do for you? But you also have to do me a favor." Su Lianqing crossed his hands in front of his chest and said rudely, "My man actually said that he didn't want me when he was on an expedition and asked me to find another man to marry. You have to help me get him back."

"Your family...man?" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "Who is it? Do I know him?"

"Bang! Don't pretend to be confused in front of me!" Su Lianqing rolled his eyes and said, "This is a little bit of a matter, and there's anything you don't know?"

"Oh, you mean... Heizi!" Qin Mubai joked and said, "He listens to me. But I may not be able to take care of men and women like you. As the saying goes, are Qing officials doing housework, aren't they?"

"Bah! Don't be slick with me, and don't put gold on your face. You are not a clean official!" Su Lianqing said angrily, "In a word, help or not, just do it!"

"Help!"

"Deal!"

"Come on, bring one of those poisonous and sick Tubo people here." Qin Mubai gave the order, and then said to Su Lianqing, "Please help me diagnose what kind of poison he is in and how to solve it?"

Su Lianqing curled his lips disdainfully and said, "If I had known that I wouldn't have done a deal with you, it would really damage my reputation of my demon scorpion wife!"

"What do you mean?" Qin Mubai asked puzzledly.

"I thought you let me lurk in the Tubo camp to assassinate which general marshal. It turned out to be such a trivial matter!" Su Lianqing smiled a little presumptuously and arrogantly, and said, "It's like two little naughty boys fighting. One of them lost, so he cried and shouted to invite you, the grand marshal, to lead 100,000 troops to help - that's what it means!"

"..." Qin Mubai was speechless and couldn't laugh or cry.
