23. Chapter 23 08 Return the body in the same way(1/2)

As soon as She Saihua received the news from Luo's daughter, she immediately went to the palace and asked the emperor to send troops to rescue the Yang family army. When Zhao Guangyi heard that the Yang family army was trapped in Heishui City, he immediately agreed to send troops to support it. When She Saihua led the Song army and several daughters-in-law to Heishui City, it was already

Five days later.

"Mom, have you brought what I want?" Xiaoxue asked impatiently as soon as she saw her.

She Saihua nodded and stretched out her hand. Someone immediately carried several large boxes and opened them. There were all kinds of kites inside.

"Xiaoxue, what's the point of suddenly having so many kites?" She Saihua wondered. She should have arrived long ago, but she received a letter from Shuangdiao before departure, asking her to help collect kites. The more the better.

Although she didn't quite understand the intention, she had raised Xiaoxue for many years and was well aware of her character. She knew that she always had her own reasons for doing things. So she didn't think much about it and immediately ordered the servants of the Yang family to collect all the kites in Bianjing City and send out a

Announcement, I hope that people who have kites at home can also contribute to saving the Yang family army.

The Yang family is the patron saint of the Song Dynasty and is regarded as a god throughout the Song Dynasty. In less than a day, She Saihua and others received thousands of kites.

"Mom, we can't go into the city to join dad and the others now, so there is only one way to know the situation in the city." Xiaoxue said while drawing something on the kite with a pen. "Look." She raised the kite and handed it to

In front of She Saihua.

She Saihua looked closely and saw several pictures painted on the blank space of the kite. After a few seconds, those pictures disappeared one by one, and the blank space was still blank. She thought for a moment and understood the reason: "I understand.

, you are on the kite

Draw these pictures, then put the kite over the city, then break the string and let the kite fall into the city. But..." She frowned, "How are they going to crack it? And if it falls into the hands of the Khitans, what will happen?

No……."

"Mom, the potion used to draw this picture is extremely special. It must be made of tea to make it visible. So what if it falls into the hands of the Khitans. If we paint the same pattern on hundreds of kites, some of them will always fall into the city.

As long as it is picked up by the brothers, they will definitely be able to decipher its meaning. And even if the Khitans decipher it, it will be of little use to them." Yes, that is.

So what if the Khitans have the ability to decipher the secrets in the kites? The above picture is of no use to them, because if the poison among the people in the city is the same one that they and Luo Shi's daughter discovered before, it will be beneficial to them.

The antidote can be prepared in the shortest time and sent to the city, but for the other party, they cannot change the poison in the city.

"You're right, just do it!" She Saihua nodded.

****

In the early morning of the next day, hundreds of kites were carried into the sky by the wind, flying swayingly over Heishui City. When they were about to fly over Heishui City, the kite string suddenly broke, and the kites quickly fell downwards. Just like the light snow

As expected, although most of the hundreds of kites landed elsewhere, a few still fell into the city.

Now, all we can do is wait, waiting for the people in the city to decipher the mystery on the kite and give them their answer.

In the afternoon, bursts of horns suddenly sounded in Blackwater City. They were the horns of the Yang family army. The sound of the horns meant that they had cracked the mystery of the kites and told them that the poison symptoms in the city were related to the Luo family and the Luo family.

Xiaoxue found exactly the same thing. What she had to do now was to send the antidote into the city. Luo's daughter did not come with the army this time because she wanted to start making the antidote immediately after getting the exact news.

"Great, I will immediately ask Shuang Diao to send a message and ask Sister Luo to step up the production of the antidote." Hearing the horn sound, Xiaoxue asked Shuang Diao to send the message. In her joy, she ignored one thing. Shuang Diao not only listened, but She also listened to another person's words.

***

At this moment, on the other side of the city, Brother Yelu Xiu took off the bamboo tube from Diao'er's feet and poured out the white paper inside. But what is surprising is that there is no text on the paper, but some radicals. How can you read it? You may find it baffling, but if you study it carefully, you can see that when these radicals are combined together, they form two words...'antidote'.

A faint smile appeared on Brother Yelu Xiu's lips. She was really thoughtful. In order to prevent the note from falling into the hands of others, she did not write down the word antidote at once, but disassembled these strokes. Even if the note fell into the hands of others, With his hand, how many people can decipher the mystery? He put the note into a bamboo tube and tied it to the legs of the two eagles as they were. As soon as he raised his hand, the two eagles immediately flew into the sky and circled around. Heading towards Bianjing.

"Your Majesty?" Xiao Han looked at his actions in confusion. Since he had cracked the secret on the note, why did he still ask Shuangdiao to deliver the letter?

Brother Yeluxiu looked at the direction in which the two eagles were leaving, "Didn't the Imperial Master say that Blackwater City is not the burial place of the Yang family's army? He designed this plan just to find out the Yang family's savior! And..." He smiled , "I'm looking forward to it. Even if they make the antidote, how will they deliver it into the city under the siege of the army?" The most important thing is that what she said last time told them to beware of Tianling. The appearance of Tianling is indeed too much. It’s so incredible that one can’t help but be on guard.

***

In the early morning three days later, hundreds of kites took off from the Song Army's military camp, rode the wind, and slowly drifted towards the "Blackwater City".

When it flew over the heads of the Liao troops who were besieged in front of Heishui City, the kite suddenly fell rapidly and fell into the Liao troops. Only a "pop, pop, pop" sound was heard, and the bamboo tubes on the kite exploded one by one. The potions splashed on the surrounding Liao soldiers one after another. As soon as the potions stuck to the skin, the skin immediately became red, swollen, and painful and itchy, making people couldn't help but reach out and scratch it. Suddenly, the entire Liao army camp was in chaos. group.

Yang Ye and others who were guarding the city heard the cry and climbed up the city wall one after another. Seeing the chaos in the Liao army camp, they couldn't help but secretly cheer. Unfortunately, most of the soldiers in the city were poisoned and could not leave the city to fight. , Otherwise, if we take advantage of this opportunity to attack from inside and outside, we will definitely win a big victory.

Seeing the chaos in his formation, all the soldiers who were contaminated by the potion were scratching their skins. The more they scratched, the more serious the skin ulcers became. The blood splashed on the faces and hands of those who wanted to help, as if it was contagious. Generally speaking, the man immediately started screaming and scratching his skin. Brother Yelu Xiu immediately asked the people who were not contaminated by the potion to step aside, and ordered people to mobilize troops from the other three city gates to prevent the Song army from sneak attack. Everyone watched in fear. As the soldiers kept scratching their skin, wailing, and rolling on the ground. Even so, the soldiers who were not contaminated by the potion could still remain calm, obey the command, and step aside.

"Splash it with water!" Brother Yelvxiu ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately, soldiers brought basins of water and poured them on those who were rolling on the ground. However, this was only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Although the water temporarily relieved the itching, it made the soldiers whose skin had already ulcerated scream even louder. For a moment, the whole outside of Blackwater City could only hear the sound of wailing one after another.

"Mom, if we attack at this moment, we will definitely disrupt the Khitan's position." Seeing the chaos in the Liao army, the aunt said excitedly.

"No, sister-in-law, we can't go there," Xiaoxue looked at the wailing soldiers in the distance, "Brother Yelvxiu is a very thoughtful person, and he will definitely have backups lying around. If we go there now, we will only fall into their trap and let our

The plan failed."

"That's right," She Saihua nodded, "This person is called the 'God of War', and his reputation is definitely not in vain. Seeing that he can still command calmly under such circumstances, it is no wonder that the marshal regards him as a powerful enemy."

"So..." Er Niang asked, "Should we send the antidote in now?" At this time, the Liao army was in chaos, so no one would care about the kite flying overhead.

"The Liao people are far more numerous than us. Even if the antidote is sent in now, dad and the others will still need time to recover after taking the antidote. At this time, Brother Yeluxiu can still mobilize soldiers from other places, and we have no choice.

Chances of winning." Xiaoxue thought for a moment, "We will send them a second gift tomorrow morning. Let Brother Yeluxiu take a good rest tonight!"

***

However, there were waves of wailing sounds coming from the Liao army camp outside 'Blackwater City'. In the silent night, this kind of painful moaning was particularly creepy to human ears.

Once this potion touches a person, it will cause excruciating pain and itching. People can't help but scratch and scratch desperately. Only the flesh and blood fly everywhere, exposing the white bones. The military doctors are unable to do anything about it. Some soldiers

Unable to bear the pain, he loudly begged the people around him to help him kill himself.

However, this terrible potion will spread everywhere with the blood splashed out. Once it is contaminated on any part of the skin of a person's body, the consequences will be disastrous. Therefore, people who have not been splashed by the potion dare not approach their companions at all, let alone help them.

The pain was relieved! They could only secretly rejoice in their hearts that they were not one of the people who were touched by the potion.

More and more people are dying in wailing. Although it is just a drop in the bucket for an army of tens of thousands, fear has been deeply implanted in everyone's heart. With each wailing, people are rolling on the ground.

The scene reflected in the minds of the survivors would inevitably create a shadow, and this was exactly what Xiaoxue wanted.

Death is not terrible. What is terrible is that you cannot live or die. What is even more terrible is seeing your companions suffering in pain, but you can only watch. Although there is anger in my heart, but to a certain extent,

But the fear is far greater than the anger. On the one hand, I am glad that I am not one of them, but on the other hand, I am worried that I will be one of those wails in pain tomorrow.

Brother Yelvxiu stood outside the tent and heard the wailing sounds. His lips were pursed tightly, his face was ashen, and the veins on his clenched fists were prominent.

She was not joking with him. Just the night before, he received her letter. It said clearly that if the troops were not withdrawn, she would send three big gifts in the remaining three days.

'Treat others in their own way', this was a great gift from her. They poisoned the Yang family to make Yang Jiajun suffer in the "Blackwater City", and she used the same method to make his people suffer.

torture.

He knew very well that everything was just a prelude, and the two gifts left in her mouth would probably destroy people's psychology even more than today. These wailings tonight have made many soldiers start to fear and cowardly, but they were afraid of his majesty and did not

I dare to show it openly. However, the military morale has begun to weaken. The first gift was like this, and it is conceivable that the subsequent gifts may be even worse.

At this time, it is certainly the best choice to withdraw the troops, but in this way, his reputation as the 'God of War' will be ruined. If this matter spreads, he will be defeated at the hands of a girl who is only sixteen years old. At that time, only

I'm afraid no one will believe in him anymore.

To withdraw or not to withdraw, this is indeed a dilemma! No matter which one he chooses, his reputation will be tarnished.

***

The night suddenly became deathly silent. Except for the occasional sound of wind, there was no sound in the wilderness. Even the previous bursts of wailing from the Liao army camp became completely silent in an instant.

"Brother Yelu Xiu was indeed ruthless. He actually ordered the execution of those poisoned soldiers, which not only relieved their pain, but also shocked the morale of the soldiers!" Xiaoxue stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the brightly lit Liao army camp below.

"Xiaoxue, are you sure about the battle tomorrow?" Ms. Luo stood beside her and asked worriedly.

"At this point, we can only make a desperate move. Sister Luo, are you ready?"

"It has been prepared according to your instructions! It's just..." Ms. Luo smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that as a doctor, I would actually do something that a poisoner would do."

"Sister Luo, they are invaders. You shouldn't be merciful to them?" Xiaoxue turned to look at her, "Didn't Dad always say? 'Tolerance to the enemy is cruelty to oneself'. What's more, it's not

We provoke them, but they invade us first. At best, we are only defending ourselves."

Having said that, remembering the bursts of wailing before, she still felt horrified in her heart, and even a little doubted whether what she did was right or wrong. After all, so many people died under her plan.

The battlefield was ruthless, either you died or I died, but she still felt guilty and uneasy.

In tomorrow's battle, the outcome is uncertain. Although I am 70% to 80% sure, there is still a mysterious heavenly spirit on the Liao army. No one knows what kind of evil tricks he will use. Even if

Even she couldn't completely guess the origin of the strategist behind the Khitan. In the previous duels, she and this

They were evenly matched. He couldn't hurt the Yang family, and she couldn't really find out his origin. So she deliberately reminded Brother Yeluxiu to be wary of this person. She believed that with Brother Yelusiu's intelligence, even if he couldn't

If he could fully guess the meaning of her words, he would also be extra vigilant against Tian Ling.

However, the battle on the second day did not begin. Before dawn, Xiaoxue was awakened by bursts of cheers outside. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, opened the door of the camp, and found that the people surrounding the 'Blackwater City'

The surrounding Liao troops retreated silently overnight, and the Song troops on both sides did not notice anything strange. No one noticed it until just now.

"Retreating without fighting, isn't this Brother Yelusiu's style?" Xiaoxue was confused. Seeing that her mother and several sisters-in-law had entered the 'Blackwater City', she was still standing there in a daze. At this time, a soldier

He came over and handed her a letter: "Miss Eighth, someone just left a letter for you."

"Thank you!" Xiaoxue took the letter and opened it. The moment she saw the content of the letter, a sharp light flashed across her eyes, and it disappeared in an instant. Then she took out the fire fold and burned the letter to ashes.

She raised her head, looked at the city not far away, and took a deep breath, "The Liao people's goal is indeed not with the Yang family army."

========= As soon as She Saihua received the news from Luo's daughter, she immediately went to the palace and asked the emperor to send troops to rescue the Yang family army. Zhao Guangyi heard that the Yang family army was trapped in Heishui City and immediately agreed to send troops to support. When She Saihua led the Song army and several children

When the daughter-in-law arrived at Blackwater City, it was already five days later.

"Mom, have you brought what I want?" Xiaoxue asked impatiently as soon as she saw her.

She Saihua nodded and stretched out her hand. Someone immediately carried several large boxes and opened them. There were all kinds of kites inside.
