Chapter 149 Antidote
Jia Cheng has been in the navy for many years and has loved soldiers like his sons in the past. He has always shared the joys and sorrows with his soldiers. Therefore, except for Zhuge Youlin, his prestige in the navy is unparalleled.
At this time, we should aim the arrow at the always-beloved general. Many soldiers were very resistant, but the reputation of the new prince standing side by side is already well-known in Nan Zhao, so in desperation, he still aimed the arrow at the coast, praying in his heart that the two of them must discuss what they have and do not misunderstand each other.
"It seems that General Jia is dissatisfied with my words. Since that's the case, I will ask you carefully in front of everyone." Qingyan stepped forward and stood at the front of the deck.
"I was just a little suspicious of you at first, but I couldn't wrongly accuse you of good people without evidence. So I kept observing your words and deeds. I really hoped that you had nothing to do with assassinating Zhuge Youlin, but you missed the situation that day."
Jia Cheng's voice came again, "I wonder what the prince misunderstood about this matter? The three water bandits are indeed subordinates of Zhen Sanjiang, and the water brothers also spent a lot of effort to capture these three people."
"Don't worry, I come one by one. Maybe these three so-called water bandits are indeed people from Sanjiang, and I have not found anything wrong, but when you and I leave the tent, your words puzzled me."
"Your original words are that Lord Zhuge is a good person, and I believe there will be no trouble." Qing Yan smiled and said, "I want to ask General Jia, I just told you that Admiral Zhuge was injured in a knife, and his life was fine. It won't take long to wake up. What does your saying "I believe there will be no trouble" mean?"
"Is the prince too sensitive? He is just worried about the safety of the Admiral, and it has no deep meaning." Jia Cheng replied calmly.
"Although Admiral Zhuge is not as tall and magnificent as General Huaihua and King Lingnan, he is also an iron man. In addition, you have been with Admiral Zhuge for many years. Don't you know how a mere knife wound can make him lose his life? Besides, I have already told you that Admiral Zhuge's life is not hindered, so your words greatly increase your suspicion."
Only a very small number of people knew that Zhuge Youlin was poisoned. Qing Yan believed that these people would never disclose the news to Jia Cheng unless they had ulterior motives. However, from the details, the other party knew about Zhuge Youlin's poisoning very early.
"Was this just based on this point, the prince decided that the prince was involved in the murder of the Admiral? Is this too arbitrary?"
"The second point is that the number of warships is still on that day. I found that there were a lot more warships parked at the port than before, and many of them were already full of supplies. As the script king knows, there is no war in the north and the court has no orders. You gathered warships and had sufficient supplies, where do you want to attack?"
Even as the admiral of the navy, Zhuge Youlin could not have gathered multiple warships to go to sea without the imperial decree. Unless the war situation was urgent, they would be treated as rebellion. That day, Qingyan keenly discovered that there were a lot more warships anchored at the port than when he first went to the water camp. Combined with what had happened before, Qingyan had already made a conclusion in his mind.
"If I guessed correctly, General Jia thought that after seeing three water bandits, he would be eager to go out to sea to suppress the bandits?"
Seeing that the other party did not respond, Qing Yan said loudly: "I wonder how General Jia will confirm that the three water bandits will be caught? How can he confirm in advance that they are the subordinates of Zhen Sanjiang and prepare the warship in advance?"
"Maybe General Jia thinks that I will seek merit and lead the army to sea without hesitation, but my caution has completely wiped out your wishful thinking, so you waited for several days before informing me that I had already explored the details of Zhensanjiang. This time, I have no reason to refuse to go to sea because there was no court instructing the five sea falcons, and I must have the king to take charge. General Jia calculated this accurately, right?"
After hearing these words in amazement, the sailors around him did not understand them all, but they also heard from them that the assassination of the Admiral seemed to have something to do with General Jia, and all of this was vaguely targeting the King of Sides.
"I will be bold to guess your future plan. After leading me to this isolated island, even if I lead all my soldiers to the island, General Jia will definitely lead me to a hidden place to solve the problem. If you are not wrong, the more than 200 people around you are not the soldiers of the navy, right?" Qing Yan smiled and said with a smile: "Brothers, you guys with good eyes may as well take a look. Apart from General Jia, who do you know on the island?"
The discussion gradually sounded, and after a while, the soldiers looked at each other and all shook their heads, and the meaning was self-evident.
"It seems that all brothers already know it. I wonder what do you think General Jia and more than 200 unintentional personnel boarded the court's warships and boarded the isolated island in advance?"
Qingyan guided the soldiers and brought them closer to the truth little by little.
"General Jia, I wonder what you have to say now?"
The other party was silent for a long time before the voice came again, "I didn't expect that I could not hide it from the prince's eyes after all. It seems that you are indeed well-known."
This sentence means that Jia Cheng admitted everything, which made the soldiers even more at a loss. He really couldn't figure out why he wanted to assassinate the Admiral and the prince side by side.
"You are just a pawn in the Wujun Bureau. As long as you tell the people behind the scenes and all the plans you know, I will definitely save you your life."
Although all Jia Cheng's plan was to take his own life, Qingyan still decided to make this deal with the other party. If the person behind the scenes was not revealed, it would definitely be a huge hidden danger.
"Prince, before I met you, I admired your actions very much. I thought that after Nan Zhao lost the old prince, he finally welcomed a new generation of kings side by side." Jia Cheng's face was very calm, "But I am worthy of my heart. When the prince comes to the underworld, I will tell you everything."
Jia Cheng slowly pulled out his sword and put it on his neck. All the people around him followed suit.
"Jia..." Qingyan barely shouted a word, and everyone on the beach committed suicide. It was too late to stop it.
The sailors on the three sea falcons also slowly lowered their crossbows, feeling very uncomfortable. Who would have expected that the general who had been in the navy for decades would commit suicide inexplicably.
"Contain all the remains and see if there are any other people on the island."
--------------------(I'm a dividing line)
On a hillside three miles outside the navy's garrison, a man with an ordinary appearance stared at the coastline.
When he saw five sea falcons slowly entering the port, he quickly rushed to Baolin City.
That night, in Zhuge Youlin's room, a man in a night outfit carefully climbed into the window. When he saw that the Huwei was shocked, he quickly came to Zhuge Youlin's bedside.
Take out a small green glaze porcelain bottle from your arms and slowly hand it to Zhuge Youlin's mouth.
"If you guessed correctly, this bottle is the antidote, right?"
The man in black was so scared that he took several steps back when he heard this, and looked at the person on the bed in shock.
Zhuge Youlin slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
"You, why did you wake up!"
"This is so naive. Of course, the poison on my supervisor has been untied." Shaking his shoulders, Zhuge Youlin accidentally pulled the wound and grinned in pain.
"Impossible! Only one person in the world can modulate the antidote of this poison, and you will never get it." The man in black was too shocked and actually forgot the environment he was in.
"There is nothing in the world, who can guarantee that there are no laity?" Zhuge Youlin's tone was very relaxed, "If it weren't for that old man, maybe I wouldn't know that this governor was being played with and applauded, right?"
Qingyan pushed the door open and sat on the chair in the hall and smiled, "Brother Youlin is lucky and lucky. I just happened to meet Mr. Zhang. Having said that, Brother Youlin's acting skills are really good, and he didn't even let Lord Feng see a flaw."
"The prince is apologizing, but I have known Lord Feng for so many years, but I never knew that he has such skills."
The two sang and reconciled, and the identity of the man in black was revealed.
Feng Xin, the prefect of Wu County.
"Sir Feng, since you are here, let's show your true face. They have been together for many years, and talking with a mask like this makes people uncomfortable." Zhuge Youlin teased.
Slowly taking off the scarf, Feng Xin stared at Qingyan's eyes.
"It seems that Lord Feng is very puzzled about my appearance here."
"Where is Jia Cheng now?"
Qing Yan sighed: "General Jia died in battle on the way to wipe out Zhensanjiang, which is really a pity."
Feng Xin sneered when he heard this: "Since I have shown my true face, why should the prince fool me?"
"Jia Cheng was indeed killed because of the bandit suppression. Is Mr. Feng dissatisfied with this explanation? Or is Mr. Feng not convinced of Zhen Sanjiang's strength?"
"It seems that Jia Cheng is indeed dead. Unexpectedly, the prince not only saw through his plans, but even knew that I would come to detoxify the admiral. It was admirable."
Qingyan waved his hand and smiled, "It's shameful to say that before Lord Feng entered the room and spoke, I actually didn't know who would come."
Before going to sea, Qingyan secretly brought Zhang Zhibai into the government office to relieve Zhuge Youlin's strange poison. After he woke up, Qingyan told the other party about what happened in the past and his guesses. After hearing this, Zhuge Youlin showed great agreement and vowed to pull out the real murderer behind the scenes with Qingyan.
Then Qingyan took advantage of the plan and went out to sea with Jia Cheng in vain. The other party really showed his flaws and committed suicide after the matter was exposed. This incident not only made Qingyan's heart not dissipate, but also even more gloomy. Why did the other party so resolutely leave no way out? And the unknown minions around him also committed suicide without hesitation. This is definitely not something that ordinary minions can do.
After returning to the port, Qingyan believed that someone would observe everything in secret, and the other party's ultimate goal was to let himself die. Therefore, when he saw the fleet returning to the port, he would definitely send someone to relieve Zhuge Youlin's poison, but he did not expect that the person who came was Feng Xin, the prefect of Wu County.
"Mr. Feng, since the matter has been exposed, why don't you tell me what role you are in this incident and what you know." Zhuge Youlin stood up and looked at the other party coldly.
"I have nothing to say. If you want to kill or cut, you will go to the emperor." Feng Xin's tone was very tough, but he did not show any intention of resistance.
This made Qingyan breathe a sigh of relief, but he still secretly guarded against the other party like Jia Cheng.
"Since Lord Feng doesn't want to speak for the time being, it's better to calm down for a few days. This happens that I have a close relationship with Zongyun Hou. Then let him send a few decent commanders to come." Qing Yan also stood up and walked towards Feng Xin.
"As a matter of fact, Jia Cheng was exposed. It seems that he can only be a general who fought on the battlefield. He is very unfamiliar with these conspiracies. Alas..."
At this time, Qingyan saw a trace of black blood left on the other party's mouth, and rushed forward to pry open his mouth.
