I finally returned to my place of residence. The first words I said after seeing Bai Ze were: "Inform all our people and remember not to drink the water from the well again. From now on, you can't touch even a sip."
Bai Ze was stunned and asked: "Master, what did you discover?"
"Someone has thrown something into wells all over the city. I don’t know what it is yet, but the water in this well must be undrinkable. You can’t eat the water, and you can’t cook food. You left what Ah Heng left in our carriage. Bring all the food out and give it to everyone. Let’s take a few days to see how things go.”
Bai Ze was shocked. Things had been thrown into wells all over the city. Doesn't that mean he wanted the lives of the people in the city? "Who is so cruel? There are more than 300,000 people in the entire city. Who can't live without water? If they all die...that would be terrible." He didn't dare to imagine, and pressed Xuan Tianming's hand quickly He ordered to wake everyone up, and then started to move out the remaining food in the carriage.
These people are usually ordinary people who built the city. With Xuan Tianming's arrival, they immediately resumed their hidden identities and gathered around Xuan Tianming. They had been waiting quietly since the sky had just turned white, until the morning light first came, until three roosters crowed, and until the voices of early risers talking could be heard outside the yard, then someone walked out, as if wandering around. Walked around all the surrounding alleys. When he came back, he said: "It seems to be no different from usual. My subordinates also saw someone carrying water. The old couple at the breakfast stall also boiled the water brought up from the well and made tea foam. I sold a bowl to passers-by for five cents, but there was no accident if I didn’t drink it.”
"Oh?"
"Master, do we want water?" Bai Ze asked him, "There are fourteen of us in total. The food on the carriage can only last us tonight, and there will be nothing to eat tomorrow." The most hateful thing in the world is If the water is cut off, even if the food is cut off and there are other things that can replace it, there is nothing that can be done if the water is cut off. He sighed: "In this weather in Zongsui, the snow is unbearable. If we were in the northern boundary of Dashun, if well water was not available, we could still use snow water, but the snow in Zongsui fell so lightly that it would disappear immediately after it fell to the ground." It’s really of no use.”
As he talked to himself, Xuan Tianming kept frowning. The purple lotus was in full bloom. It was obviously very beautiful, but it still made people feel chilly after looking at it. He told everyone: "It can't be used. It absolutely can't be used. Just because it's okay now doesn't mean it will always be okay. You must not drink the well water before you find out what is being poured into the well."
"Then my subordinate is going to capture someone at night and come back to ask?" Bai Ze said: "Didn't the master say that there are many secret guards in action? I will catch one and come back and I will know."
"You can try." Xuan Tianming said, "If I count correctly the number of secret guards in action, there should be twenty-seven. If you can catch them without alerting them, , I will remember your great contribution."
Baize's tongue-tied tongue doesn't scare the snake away? How is that possible. Suddenly one person was missing, and the ghost knew that something must be wrong. "But if we don't arrest him and question him, will we keep waiting like this?"
"A-Heng should arrive in two days at most." Xuan Tianming said, "Wait for her to come and see what is in the water."
Baize felt relieved now, right? Their princess is a miracle doctor! Once the miracle doctor comes, it is not possible to tell at a glance whether the water is poisonous or not. Two days are just two days, what does it matter if the martial arts practitioner has to wait for two days?
That night, none of the fourteen people slept. They all hid in the dark and stared at the well in the yard in their own way. Just after the ugly moment, I saw a man in black quickly sneaking into the courtyard, pouring a bag of white powdery stuff into the well water, and then disappearing again.
Bai Ze glanced at him, but he was still a guy with excellent qinggong. If he was asked to chase him, he might not be able to catch him, let alone capture him. I couldn't help but feel ashamed for the big words I had said during the day. I thought to myself that if Ban Zou was here, his body skills should be comparable to that of the man just now.
The man in black left, and fourteen people, including Xuan Tianming, appeared from the darkness and surrounded the well entrance. Bai Ze brought up a bucket of water. Under the moonlight, he saw that the well water was no different from usual. The white powder was completely dissolved when poured in, leaving no trace.
Everyone was shocked, and they were even more determined not to drink the well water.
For two nights in a row, some people put strange things into well water across the city, but the people in the city still didn't hear anyone showing signs of poisoning, and there were no suspected cases in the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinics.
However, all this was an illusion. Just when Bai Ze was eagerly waiting for Feng Yuheng to come soon, they still discovered something unusual——
"Master." The secret guard who had gone out to "leak around" came back and reported to Xuan Tianming, "There seems to be something wrong." He talked about what he had just seen and heard on the street: "My subordinate passed by a well At that time, I saw people queuing up to carry water. One man carried four large buckets of water in one go. The burden was so heavy that he almost broke, but he didn't feel tired at all. The man carrying the water looked like he was nearly fifty years old. He was very old. In addition, I also saw a strong man from a family chopping firewood at the door. The ax accidentally hit his hand. It was obvious that a piece of flesh was chopped off, but he just wiped it on his clothes. Two times, there was no sign of pain at all. Even a two-year-old baby in his yard fell while running, and his jaw hit a stone, causing blood. The baby was not seen. After crying, he got up and continued running and jumping with a smile. My subordinates felt that something was not right."
Not only is something not right, it is simply so wrong! Xuan Tianming asked another person who also came back from wandering around the city: "What did you see?"
The man thought for a while and said: "My subordinates saw that people carrying water seemed different from the past. Although there were times when people lined up to pick up books in the past, there were not many, and there were no people who stopped holding water as soon as they were picked up. It was necessary to take a sip. It was currently a severe winter, and the water was icy, but they did not feel cold at all. They drank it very happily. The subordinates looked at them drinking water, as if they were enjoying themselves, as if they were drinking water. Tasting the delicacies of the world is not like drinking the most ordinary cold water."
"In this way..." Xuan Tianming began to think about it, and an unformed idea flashed through his mind, but he felt it was too crazy and unrealistic.
He stood up suddenly, startling Bai Ze, "Where are you going, Master?"
"Get out of the city." He said as he walked, "Your princess will definitely arrive today if nothing happens. Let's go out of the city to meet her, so that she doesn't know what's going on. She comes into the city and drinks the water by mistake. That would be troublesome."
He left twelve secret guards to continue to observe the movements in the city, while he took Bai Ze to the west gate. He was a little anxious. If his guess was correct, the powder thrown into the well should be something similar to Xiaoyaosan. He was not afraid that it was poison, and Feng Yuheng could cure it, but if it was really something like Xiaoyaosan, Feng Yuheng would be helpless. If that girl feels thirsty and takes a sip of tea after entering the city, something big will happen.
He was anxious, and his steps were faster, almost at a trot. It is not allowed to ride horses in the city, because only the rich and powerful will ride in the streets. If he rides a horse, he will be too conspicuous. But even so, it still attracted the attention of many people, including a group of officials patrolling the city. Seeing the two people in a hurry and looking unfamiliar, they wanted to stop them and ask. The leader even He had already taken a step forward, but at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly stood down again, with a very painful expression on his face. He didn't know where to put his hands, and kept moving. Scratches on the face.
There was another person like him, who also looked in pain, but that person was obviously more awake than him. At this time, he happened to see someone walking by carrying water on the street, so he rushed over, grabbed the bucket and knelt on the ground. He stuck his head in it and drank.
The person from before also reacted and hurried over to grab a drink of water. While they were drinking water, Xuan Tianming took Bai Ze and walked past quickly. When they had drunk enough, they came back to their senses and wanted to find the person. The two suspicious people have long since disappeared.
Unfortunately, Xuan Tianming was still a step too late. When they arrived at the west city gate, they found that the city gate was closed in broad daylight. Many people gathered here waiting to leave the city, but they heard from the officials guarding the city that they had recently Dashun will raise troops to invade in Japan. It is very dangerous to leave the city. All the four main gates of the city will be closed. When will they be opened again? We have to wait for notification from the prefecture government.
At this time, just by closing the city gate, a large number of people began to wander around and talk about political affairs. Those people were talking about Dashun attacking Zong Sui, talking about Dashun conquering Bincheng, saying that most people in Bincheng had lost their homes and were displaced, and they were also saying that Dashun would soon come to build the city, massacre the people, rob property, and let this city Build the city to become the next Bin City.
The people were said to be so angry that it was as if Dashun had dug up their ancestral graves. They all clamored to kill Xiang Bincheng and drive the Dashun traitors out of Zong Sui.
During this period, there will always be people who suddenly express pain, and there will always be people looking for water to drink. Those who have drank the water immediately become more energetic, just like taking chicken blood, and immediately devote themselves to resisting Dashun. shouting.
The crowds poured out from all directions of the city and gradually gathered in the center of the city. Xuan Tianming was squeezed out of the crowd and looked at it from a distance. He saw that Zuo Da, the governor of the city, was also in the crowd, shouting along with the people. He was shouting all kinds of inspiring slogans, but his eyes were bright and bright, not as muddy and confused as others.
He said to Bai Ze: "Look at Zuo Da. He doesn't seem to have drank the water in the city." After that, he looked up at the tall city wall. The sky was bright and white, and the city gate was closed. He wanted to go out. I'm afraid it will be difficult. Fortunately, even if Feng Yuheng uses space to enter the city, she can immediately detect abnormalities in the city and contact him as soon as possible. He prayed in his heart that even if the girl was thirsty, she would drink the water in her own space. The water source for building the city was absolutely untouchable.
At that time, Feng Yuheng was running on the way to Jiancheng with a dark face...
