Chapter 147: Let him be too clever
Tens of thousands of soldiers were thrown into the raging river. Looking down from the sky, it looked like countless ants trying to change the impending disaster. It was really funny to watch.
However, for the soldiers who had already come up and were ready for battle, this scene was not funny at all. By the constantly rolling dam, they could see the waves stirred up by the lapping river water.
Han Yaojun was wearing a straw raincoat. The heavy rain from the sky did not show any mercy even though the river water rose too quickly. The rain continued to fall as usual!
Such a ruthless scene, and the sound of rolling waves, were like a silent water beast that was about to break free from its confinement and rush over silently to devour everyone.
Chu Xi was wearing a straw raincoat and standing beside her were ordinary soldiers. She led a hundred people to cooperate with the hundred people led by Bian Hangqing to start reinforcing the river dam.
No one wanted to see the city behind them being flooded by the river, so everyone used up all their strength.
Han Yaojun also started to participate, but gradually, everyone began to feel unwell to varying degrees. Some felt weak all over, as if all their strength had been drained away even though they hadn't even started for long.
These soldiers thought they were hungry, so they quickly stuffed the buns in their pockets into their mouths.
The fact was, the more they ate, the more dizzy they became, and in the end they could not hold on any longer and fell down.
Chu Xi was pulling the thick hemp rope in his hand with force when he felt that the dozen people on the other side who were supposed to be pulling together... seemed to have weakened their strength.
No, it should be said that the soldier standing next to her also began to stagger and could not stand steadily.
She immediately let go of the rope and shouted at them to throw the tied wood far away, so that they would not fall down and the heavy wood would fall on them...
At that time, there would really be casualties everywhere.
"What's going on?" Qin Sanyuan frowned and looked at the soldiers falling around him with a pale face. The thing he least wanted to see was now happening before his eyes.
He shouted unconsciously, and was heard by Shi Zheng who was standing next to him. Shi Zheng himself could not stand steadily, and had to support the soldiers who were about to fall, dragging them to the side and putting them down.
"Damn it, what's going on? Why did so many soldiers fall down?" Shi Zheng touched their foreheads as he dragged them away.
"From the looks of them, they don't look like they have a fever."
Qin Sanyuan looked at Chu Xi, who was standing several people away, with complicated eyes, looking past the complaining Shi Zheng. He was wearing a straw raincoat and was helping the fallen soldiers and settling them aside.
He... clearly didn't put the medicine in, why did this happen?
Does Chu Jiang know about this situation?
Did he anticipate this or was this all part of his plan?
It was the first time that Bian Hangqing encountered soldiers falling down in large numbers. It was like... they were infected with an epidemic, but the disease broke out too quickly!
Compared to the epidemic, there is another possibility that is more suitable for the current situation.
As they fell one after another, Han Yaojun began to realize that something was wrong. He immediately called a military doctor to check, only to find that he seemed to see double and his eyelids gradually became heavy.
His body swayed slightly, but his will was extremely strong. Even though his vision was becoming blurry, he was still unwilling to fall down.
Han Yaojun called Zhou Qi, "Send someone back to the camp and ask the other soldiers to come over and transport all the fallen soldiers back. Let the military doctors check their conditions first. If there are any special circumstances, isolate them first!"
After all, this was not his first time as a guard general and he had encountered all kinds of situations. What he had to guard against now was not only the possibility of being drugged, but also...epidemic.
Chu Xi calmly caught them one after another. Compared to Bian Hangqing who was already busy with other tasks, she could still spare some time to command the other soldiers who had not fallen yet to continue blocking the places that could burst at any time.
Chu Er took advantage of the chaos and used the marks Chu Xi told him in advance to leave marks in some places.
Of course, he was the only one who drew the mark, while the other three did not move. They had to quietly keep an eye on who was also waiting for an opportunity to act...
And where did they make the changes?
Today is only the second day. Although it was cloudy and rainy yesterday, it was only a drizzle after all. Chu Xi deduced that they would not be so stupid as to take action in broad daylight.
It is convenient for them to fish in the water in broad daylight, and it is also easier for observation. Under the impact of heavy rain and surging river water, some weaker areas will be revealed.
They will definitely leave marks in relatively vulnerable places so that they can take action directly at night and start from these marked places!
Chu Xi was responsible for attracting the attention of all the Eighth Prince's secret agents in the dark. Seeing that the situation was almost over, she walked towards Han Yaojun in front of everyone, "General Han, I have something to tell you."
Han Yaojun's mind is now preoccupied with the physical conditions of those soldiers who fell inexplicably, as well as the surging waves in the river, and he really can't spare any attention for Chu Xi.
He just glanced at Chu Xi quickly. Out of admiration for Chu Xi and the deep impression she left on him before, Han Yaojun still spared some patience for Chu Xi.
"what's up?"
"General Han, I have something important to tell you." Chu Xi calmly glanced at Yu Chengwen, who was standing next to Han Yaojun, following closely, as if protecting Han Yaojun.
When Han Yaojun heard the important matter and saw Chu Xi's serious expression, he nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead."
Chu Xi looked around and said meaningfully, "General Han, what I am going to say next is only for you."
Yu Chengwen had a faint smile on his lips from beginning to end, and he was calm and unhurried.
Upon hearing this, although Han Yaojun didn't know how important Chu Xi was going to say, he still walked away with Chu Xi alone without letting anyone else follow.
Yu Chengwen stared at Chu Xi's leaving figure with deep and dark eyes, and then he suddenly smiled.
The guards around Yu Chengwen didn't understand why he was laughing, and asked curiously, "What are you laughing at, Lieutenant General Yu?"
Yu Chengwen said softly and meaningfully, "I am laughing at the mouse for being too clever, but being clever itself is not a good thing. Who knows if the person who caught the mouse will take advantage of its cleverness and make it outsmart itself!"
A mouse is a mouse, how could it possibly escape from the clutches of its owner?
No one knew what Chu Xi said to Han Yaojun. Even though the two of them were not too far away, they were still within Chengwen's sight. But Chu Xi stood with her back to him...
Yu Chengwen couldn't even see Chu Xi's mouth shape, and the sounds of the river and heavy rain were intertwined next to him. Even if he stood closer, he might not be able to hear it.
