Wang Changlin stared at Su Zhenbei's face, and when he nodded, his face immediately wrinkled into a bitter melon.
"We are old and young. We need to walk in this mountain forest for more than 200 miles. We need to walk in this mountain for five or six days. We have no food or water, and there are wild animals. .It’s difficult!”

Bai Suzi brought all these words to Zhou Fuan.

After Zhou Fuan listened, he thought for a while.

"Let's go, no matter how difficult it is, we have to go. No matter what happens later, it's better than waiting to die here."

After Zhou Fuan decided, Ji Tai sent someone to ask for news.

When Ji Tai and Lu Zan learned about Zhou Fuan's arrangement, Ji Tai waved his hand.
Lu Zan also nodded,
"Well, let's follow Zhou Fu'an into the mountains and take the mountain road to Yangcheng."

Lu Zan thought for a while and then said to Mrs. Ji,
"The earth dragon turned over just now, and there was another mudslide. It doesn't feel safe here. It's too close to the mudslide just now. We'd better take people to walk further into the mountains. Choose a flatter place with more rocks and less soil, or lush forests. A place to rest.”

Lu Zan thought more than Mrs. Ji. He felt that the rain was too heavy and he had been on the road day and night for the past two days. Not to mention the prisoners, they Zhaowei couldn't bear it either. What's more, the prisoners they escorted from Zhaojian were not like the exiled prisoners escorted by Zhou Fu'an. They had no relatives or family members to send money, clothing and food.

In the past few days, these prisoners have been wearing large shackles and chains, wearing only thin prison clothes, with their faces exposed to the heavy rain. Except for those who escaped, all the remaining prisoners had wounds on their bodies. In addition, the rain soaked their wounds. Many of them had fevers and their injuries worsened. What's more, these criminals were fed poison pills by Captain Gu, which caused attacks every three days.

"Do you have the antidote with you?"

Luzan suddenly thought of this. These prisoners must take the antidote once every three days, otherwise the poison will take over and they will roll on the ground in pain and be unable to walk at all.

Ji Taileng snorted,
"Those fools who ran away will know how stupid they were to run away when the poison pill takes effect."

Lu Zan frowned,

"Those who escaped, plus those who were seriously injured and died. On the way up the mountain, a few more slipped to the bottom of the mountain. The number just reported was only one hundred and sixty-three people. Mrs. Ji, please hurry up and send someone. Bring the antidote, and when dinner is being cooked, put the antidote in the rice for the prisoner to eat."

Ji Tai looked at Lu Zan in surprise,

"What are you asking me for? The prisoners are from your Zhao Prison, and the poison is from your Zhao Prison. Of course, the antidote is also under the control of your Zhao Prison. What do we ask the Imperial Army to do? Lu Zan, let me remind you. Our Imperial Army is to serve the Emperor. We are pretending to be escorts, but in fact our mission is to find an opportunity to kill the Su and Wang families. This mission should be the same as yours. These prisoners are the responsibility of Zhaowei, and your life and death are under your control. It has nothing to do with our imperial army."

"Before departure, didn't I tell you that I put the antidote on your Forbidden Army's supply truck?"

Lu Zan had a bad feeling in his heart. Regarding the bag containing the antidote, he was worried that someone among the prisoners would steal the antidote. After all, there were many criminals in the world. There are many people with good skills. He then took another step and mixed the antidote bag into the Forbidden Army's supply truck. Because the Forbidden Army's supply vehicles are all covered with oil paper cloth, they look the same from the outside, and people who don't know the inside story can't tell the difference at all. When setting off, he clearly told Mrs. Ji. Isn't this idiot Ji Tai not paying attention at all?
Originally, he was always careful in his work, and even sent a Zhaowei to look after the car. Who knows, that Zhaowei ate something bad yesterday and always had diarrhea. He lost sight of it and couldn't recognize which car it was.

He only found out about this when he asked Zhao Wei just now. Although he was unhappy, he still thought in his heart that fortunately, he had told Mrs. Ji before setting off. Ji Tai knew which car they were in.

When he said he was going up the mountain, the antidote also flashed through his mind. Because he was short on time, he also felt that no matter how stupid Mrs. Ji was, she should know the importance of the bag of antidote. What's more, it's just a bag of antidote, and it's not heavy. It will definitely be mixed in the supplies and people will carry it up the mountain.

If he went to get it specifically and was seen by a criminal with an intention, he would cause trouble. That's why he didn't go get the antidote. "Didn't you say that you need to pack lightly when going up the mountain? It's enough to carry some food and clothes. Why, do you still want my brothers from the Forbidden Army to carry things for you Zhaowei?"

Mrs. Ji glared at Lu Zan with disdain and asked, "Who do you think you are, you want to make my people work?" You have such a big face.

It was over, Lu Zan's eyes suddenly turned dark. Looking at the flood at the foot of the mountain, a chill rushed to my forehead.

The time for the criminals to take the antidote is tonight. If there is no antidote then, what if these criminals turn against each other...

Lu Zan didn’t dare to think about it anymore.

After all, their method of controlling prisoners is the antidote, what else? Among these prisoners there are very powerful criminal thieves. There will be no antidote for them then...

"Mrs. Ji, are there any doctors among the twenty imperial troops you are leading?"

"The twenty imperial guards I am leading are all elites. We are responsible for killing King Su's family and the remnants of the prince along the way. We will return to the capital after our mission is completed. What are we bringing the doctor for?"

Ji Tai thought to herself, the emperor's order for us is to follow the Su and Wang families all the way to Xiangqiao. When the Su family and others get the Su family's army token, we will directly kill the Su family and the prince's remnants, and we can return to Beijing directly to resume our lives. After passing Yangcheng and walking two hundred miles to the north, we will reach Xiangjun, where Xiangqiao is located. We are all riding horses, so there is no need to bring a doctor.

But you, Lu Zan, not only have to join us in killing the Su and Wang families, but you also have to lead these criminals.

Mrs. Ji didn't know what kind of order Gu Taiwei had given Lu Zan. After the execution mission is completed, will these prisoners be taken to Xiangjun Prison on the spot? Or should they all be poisoned? In Ji Tai's view, according to their usual style of Zhao Prison, the possibility of poisoning them all is the highest. He was originally a tool man who was buried with him. He would die whether he took the antidote or not.

"You Zhaowei are so vicious and hypocritical, why would you prepare an antidote for the dead?"

Ji Tai has always been reckless. Whatever he thinks in his mind, he just says it out loud.

"Tai Ji, you are a reckless man!"

Lu Zan's face turned pale with anger at this moment.

"Without an antidote, we Zhaowei will die, and so will your Imperial Army."

After speaking, Lu Zan turned around and walked towards Zhou Fu'an without looking at Ji Tai. He remembered that there seemed to be several doctors at Zhou Fu'an's place. If it doesn't work, let those doctors think of ways to make some alternative antidotes. Although Lu Zan knew that the poison administered by Captain Gu was definitely not something that ordinary people could cure. Otherwise, there are several very powerful Jianghu people among the prisoners who would not dare to escape easily.

But the prisoner doesn’t know what the real antidote is. When the time comes, the doctor will randomly make a substitute antidote, and the prisoner doesn’t know. Anyway, as long as he can drag them to Xiangjun, he will take these criminals to Xiangjun Prison. , even if it’s gone.

"Lu Zan, you coward, you are half-talking, why are we dying? It was obviously you who poisoned us?"
