Chapter 204 Epidemic Virus
In a blink of an eye, more than a hundred Mongolian soldiers committed suicide, and no one of them was left behind. Zhu Gaochi's fat eyes trembled involuntarily. After recovering, he waved to his army behind. Then his personal soldiers ran out of the army and rushed to Zhu Gaochi for a moment later.
After wiping a cold sweat, Zhu Gaochi said to his personal captain: "Transport their bodies to Yangzhou City and ask the King of Yan to send coroners to inspect..."
After looking at the Mongolian who had committed suicide, the captain of the personal soldiers hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, our army also has coroners. Let our coroners be tested roughly. Your Highness King Yan asked, Your Highness can deal with it..."
Zhu Gaochi turned around and looked at his personal captain coldly, then said to the deputy captain: "I will promote you to Qianhu now, and you will take over as the commander of the personal guards. Transport these corpses to Yangzhou City and ask His Highness the King of Yan to send coroners to check..."
With the lessons of his former captain, the deputy captain did not dare to hesitate at all. After receiving the order, he began to order his subordinates to start moving the bodies. The former captain of his former personal soldiers, who had just been stripped of his official position, stood there blankly and did not dare to argue, and did not dare to move around.
On the one hand, Bai Wuqiu was confused and said to Gui Bugui: "Old guy, there are corpses inside and outside. Where is it not to test it?
Why should I send it back to Yangzhou City to make trouble for that old boy Zhu Di?”
Gui Bugui looked at the fat Zhu Gaochi, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, it was a big deal for the Mongolians to sneak in from the army. Now they committed suicide in front of the prince's army. If they died under the sword of the chaos, they would still be the same. But they killed themselves by themselves, and the prince's army was watching with tens of thousands of troops. If they said it, it would inevitably be someone to make trouble. If the body was checked here, there would be people saying that they were just destroying evidence. Old man, right? Prince's Highness..."
After hearing Gui Bugui's words, the fat Zhu Gaochi turned around and smiled at the old guy. He said, "The old fairy said a little exaggeratedly. Gao Chi, I am just too lazy. It's better to let the father personally order such a troublesome thing..."
When Zhu Gaochi spoke, Gui Bugui's eyes were attracted by the corpses who were moved together and were about to be pulled away by a cart. The old guy seemed to have seen something interesting. He walked to a wet corpse, used a saber to pick the clothes on the dead body, then smiled strangely, and said to Zhu Gaochi: "Your Highness, I'm afraid you have to change the army over there. Let them leave along the official road, the faster the better..."
At this time, Zhu Gaochi also walked to Gui Bugui's side. He saw that the chest and waist of the corpse had begun to ulcerate, and it was covered with dense blisters, and some of the blisters had broken. The green and yellow pus flowed out, emitting a strong stench.
Zhu Gaochi suddenly understood what Guibugui meant. He asked his personal soldiers to shout in unison. He asked the army that had already walked towards them from afar to turn around and retreat quickly. After retreating to twenty miles, no one could leave the army without the order of His Royal Highness the prince. The general who led the team did not know what had happened, so he hurriedly commanded his army to change the front army. Then he ran down the official road quickly... Seeing his army retreating, Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief. He turned around and smiled bitterly at Guibugui, saying, "These Mongolians used themselves as bait to emit the epidemic poison..."
The Mongols have always had the tactic of releasing the poison of the epidemic. When they encounter cities that they cannot capture for a long time, the Mongol wizards will find corpses that died of the plague, cut the corpses into pieces and place them in dozens, or even hundreds of wine jars, add water to the sun. After the corpses inside are rotten, they will use a catapult to throw the wine jars full of corpses into the enemy's city. Basically, plague will break out in the city in ten days and half a month, but such a city can no longer be inhabited. As long as Mongolian soldiers trap the dangerous city, some people will run out of the city to escape, and they will directly shoot them with bows and arrows when they run out of the city to escape.
In the end, when all the people in the city died, they would set fire to the city and burn it to ruins.
Although this epidemic poison is domineering, the wizards who control the epidemic poison can be safe and sound. Legend has it that they are all descendants of the plague god, and they have their own first protection so that they are not afraid of the plague.
Hearing Zhu Gaochi's words, his personal soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they moved away from the corpses one after another. They all showed a panic expression on their faces, and took out the water they carried on them and began to wash the places where they had contacted the corpses.
"It's useless. You have been infected with the epidemic poison when you stand here. This will not be cleaned. Even this prince may have been infected with a lot of epidemic poison at this time." Zhu Gaochi saw that his personal soldiers were unable to understand the law, so he reminded them a few words. Then he continued: "But you don't have to be afraid, we are all lucky. The two immortals are right in front of you. The immortals will not see us dying from the epidemic poison..."
Gui Bugui heard Zhu Gaochi's words, and the old guy smiled and said, "No wonder His Royal Highness is so unsuspecting in the face of changes. It turns out that he had already been thinking about me..."
While speaking, Gui Bugui took out a pill from his arms. After hesitating for a moment, he still crushed the wax skin of the pill, then divided it into two, and sent half of the pill to Zhu Gaochi's hand, saying: "Use water to dissolve the pill, and each of His Royal Highness and others can avoid the epidemic and miasma in this life..."
At this time, Zhu Gaochi no longer cared about any etiquette. He directly reached out to take the pill. Then the captain of the personal soldiers who had just been promoted brought his water hyacinth over. The prince of Yan crushed the pill and poured it into the water hyacinth.
After shining, he handed it to the captain of the personal soldiers and said, "You ask everyone to take turns to drink it, and leave it to me for the last sip..."
The captain of the personal soldiers was stunned for a moment, and did not dare to pick up the water hyacinth from behind. He said to Zhu Gaochi: "It is better for the prince to drink the antidote first. If your prince doesn't drink it, how dare we touch the water hyacinth..."
"There are only more than one hundred people with gourd water. I'll drink it first. Do you dare to guarantee that the last person can drink it?" Zhu Gaochi stretched out his palm like a palm fan and gently gave the captain a small mouth, then continued, "What are you still rubbing against? Are you waiting for the epidemic poison on me to take place?"
The captain of the personal soldiers then took the water hyacinth into his hand with tears in his eyes. He picked a leaf first, poured out a small glass of water with the leaves as a bowl. Then he passed the water hyacinth down, watching each of his personal soldiers sip it gently. In this way, he was still scolding him: "You have two taels of sip! What have you drunk? Spit out a little, are you still waiting to eat? Who made you open your mouth so big? He pursed his lips and drank it in one sip, and the next one..."
After all the water was divided, the last mouthful of the captain of the personal soldiers drank it. Then he delivered the water left in advance to the prince's hand. After watching him finish the last drink, the captain of the personal soldiers and his subordinates knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Gaochi, and said while kowtowing: "We are like ants, but you are also the precious body of a noble prince like you, who is taking risks..."
"You are laughing at me for being wide and fat, and weighing a thousand pounds, right? Stop flattering, get up." Before the captain could speak, Zhu Gaochi laughed and kicked the captain gently, then restrained the smile on his face and continued, "You have someone set the corpses on fire, and the burned ashes will be buried deep underground. You can run yourself, take my sign to Yangzhou City, and report the matter here to His Highness the King of Yan. The Mongolians who were infiltrated all carry the epidemic poison, please be careful..."
