The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 231 Mantis Catching Cicadas
"Luo Feng, do you think you can continue to manage the convenience of military resources, and you can hide the matter of stealing from everyone?
You are going to lead the army to the north, and you should let the food and grass go first, so as to ensure sufficient supply of food and grass during the march, but in order to hide this part of the supplies, you lied to everyone that His Majesty withheld military expenses. In fact, these things have long been yours. Your confidant is responsible for the escort, and you will follow behind the team going north, so that when your lies are exposed, you can coerce the soldiers to help you in this treasonous act.Am I wrong? "

Yan Mo stared directly at Luo Feng, his cold words revealed his calculations.

Luo Feng clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said: "So what, you have turned to the empress and betrayed Xiao Jingtian, everyone is mutual."

"I'm from Liangcheng."

Ignoring Luo Feng's sarcasm, Yan Mo said calmly.

Luo Feng opened his eyes wide, "You lied to me!"

Liangcheng is the only way for him to transport grain and grass, it is thirty miles west of Yupinggu.If Yan Mo came from Liangcheng, does that mean that all the military resources in his hands have been robbed by Yan Mo?
As if seeing through what he was thinking, Yan Mo smiled, "All the military resources you are proud of have been intercepted by me, and are now being stored in Liangcheng."

After finishing speaking, Yan Mo raised his hand.

Immediately, guards of the Imperial Army escorted a few people out of the team, and when they saw Luo Feng and Ji Xuan, they shouted sadly: "General Ji, Deputy General Luo, I owe you my trust!"

Luo Feng almost fell off his horse, these people were his confidantes, following his and Ji Xuan's orders, they were responsible for keeping food and following behind the team.Now they are all in the hands of Yan Mo, and Xiao Jingtian's men are chasing after them. He wanted to catch the turtle in the urn, but now he has become the turkey in the urn!
Yan Mo said coldly: "You already know His Majesty's will, now is the time to make a choice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind Luo Feng and Ji Xuan said one after another——

"We were originally deceived by these two people. Your Majesty is magnanimous. Naturally, we will not work for tigers again!"

"We are willing to submit to His Majesty!"

"Luo Feng, Ji Xuan, you two rebellious officials and thieves have deceived us so badly!"

Seeing the mutiny of the crowd, Luo Feng drew out his sword frantically, and immediately cut down the two soldiers closest to him, "Do you think that if you surrender to the Empress, you will have a way to survive?"

Seeing Luo Feng's sudden ruthlessness, the soldiers who had originally intended to turn against him were aroused and took up weapons one after another.

Seeing this, Luo Feng and Ji Xuan's cronies fought together with these soldiers.

Seeing this, Yan Mo signaled to the imperial guards, and quickly joined the formation to encircle Luo Feng and Ji Xuan.

Soon, Luo Feng and several soldiers who stubbornly resisted were surrounded by the crowd.

Yan Mo said: "Catch them without a fight, Your Majesty will leave you with a whole body!"

Luo Feng suddenly laughed strangely, "Do you think you will win this way?"

The few cronies around him glanced at each other, and pulled off their armor almost at the same time, revealing a row of bamboo tubes wrapped around their bodies.These bamboo tubes are connected by lead wires. They pulled the lead wires with one hand and ignited the fire with the other hand.

Luo Feng said with red eyes: "Even if I die, I will drag you to be my back!"

Yan Mo lowered her eyebrows, "Back!"

He had seen the power of gunpowder in the imperial capital, and he couldn't help but shudder when he saw these people committing suicide without hesitation.

Ji Xuan, who had been silent all this time and stood outside the chaos, spoke at this moment.

"Yan Mo, since you entered the barracks, I have known that you are not a treasure, but it is a pity that you cannot be used by me."

Yan Mo shifted his gaze to him, "Ji Xuan, if you hadn't been obsessed with rank and fame, your achievements might not be inferior to Xiao Jingtian's."

Ji Xuan was noncommittal to his words, and before he could continue speaking, he was furious at Luo Feng, but the soldiers in the front row suddenly dropped their weapons to the ground, and they bent down one by one, clutching their stomachs.

"Stomach hurts!"

"pain!"

"what happened!"

Row after row of soldiers fell down, rolling on the ground in pain. Because they endured the pain, they all looked a little hideous.

Seeing this, Luo Feng laughed even more wildly!

"Do you think we're going to sit and wait?"

Yan Mo cast his eyes on Ji Xuan coldly, but he didn't make a sound, but the intention of asking was already very obvious.

Ji Xuan said lightly: "Actually, it's nothing. At the beginning, I was afraid that the brothers would be disobedient, so I added something to their meals."

"You poisoned them!" Yan Mo's eyes flashed coldly, because of what happened to An Chen earlier, he hated such things as poisoning.

"Yes." Ji Xuan admitted generously, "It's just that the time is too short, and we can only poison so many people for the time being."

The number of people who fell in front of them was two to three thousand. Compared with an army of one hundred thousand, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the tip of the iceberg.Even if Ji Xuan controlled this group of people, it might not be able to cause much trouble.

"How are you willing to detoxify them?" Yan Mo almost uttered these words through his teeth, showing his anger.

Ji Xuan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just me and Xiao Jingtian's personal grievances, and I need the help of these brothers. After the matter is done, the antidote will naturally be offered."

After speaking, Ji Xuan asked his subordinates to take out the medicine for temporarily relieving the toxicity, and fed some soldiers to eat it first.

After these people took the medicine, the pain stopped quickly.

After the medicine took effect, Ji Xuan looked at Yan Mo quietly and didn't say any more.

Those who were not poisoned, as well as the imperial guards all looked at Yan Mo.

Yan Mo pondered for a moment, and finally nodded stiffly.

Ji Xuan waved his hand briskly and ordered someone to deliver medicine to the poisoned soldiers.

"Deputy General Yan doesn't have to look so bitter and bitter. I know that it is impossible to get out of this time. Before the end, the grudge between me and Xiao Jingtian must be resolved!"

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang!
Even if Ji Xuan died, he still wanted to drag Xiao Jingtian to the bottom of the coffin.

Later, those soldiers who temporarily relieved the pain followed Ji Xuan and stationed in the hinterland of Yu Pinggu.

The sky lanterns rising slowly at night gave Ji Xuan a plan.He cut off Luo Feng's head, and ordered the poisoned soldiers to stay on the spot, expressing remorse and surrender, in order to lure Xiao Jingtian's men into the valley.

Ji Xuan ordered his cronies to ignite the explosives on his body when he got close to Xiao Jingtian after seeing Xiao Jingtian enter the valley the next day, and die with him.

After making these arrangements, Ji Xuan took Luo Feng's head and rode into Xiao Jingtian's camp alone on a commoner.

After hearing the whole story, Xiao Jingtian frowned even tighter.

The soldiers in the valley knew that Ji Xuan was dead, so there must be no hope of detoxification.Their hearts sank little by little like the twilight.But when he saw Xiao Jingtian's resolute face like before, he suddenly felt that death would be an honor, and it was better than dying as a traitor!

"General, seeing that you are safe and sound now, even if the brothers died of poison, they will rest in peace."

Xiao Jingtian looked at them, "Your Majesty has allocated some elite imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to this general, and they will be stationed here in Yu Pinggu tonight. I will ask them to take your pulse in a while, to see if there is any solution. "

Hearing his words, hope was rekindled in the hearts of the soldiers.

After ordering Lei Jin, Zhao Qianwei and others to take care of the resettlement of the brothers, Xiao Jingtian got on his horse again and rode away in the direction of leaving the valley.

"General, where are you going?" Zhao Qianwei shouted anxiously.

"Go and find Yan Mo, if I don't come back tonight, you will go directly to Liangcheng to meet me tomorrow!"

Ever since the Yuquan Mountain incident, Yan Mo has too many secrets, and now it's time to find out!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingtian twitched his horse's buttocks hard and accelerated his speed.
