Chapter 885: poison, assassinate

The Hou Mansion was also flooded with water, but the mansion was very quiet, and no one screamed in panic.

It's not how calm these people are, but the fact that Marquis Dongchuan is retreating in his study, recovering the blood that has been consumed.

In Dongchuanhou's study room, there was no standing water at all, because outside the study room, the butler was directing a group of servants. Braving the pouring rain, the water that had covered his calf was dripping. He was busy but silent. With a burlap sack filled with dirt and stones, he built a dam on the steps outside the study, preventing the flood from flooding into the study.

These mud and rocks were dug from the side yard by the servants of the Hou's mansion.

Now that the water is rising everywhere in the city, it is unrealistic and too late to go outside to get sand, gravel and soil. The only way is to use this method of tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, and sticking to Dongchuan Hou first is not affected.

As for the yard next door, it doesn't matter if it is destroyed. After the flood recedes, we can find a way to rebuild it.

The housekeeper stood under the eaves, followed by a servant, who helped him carry the lantern to follow the road.

After reprimanding a few servants who were not doing well in a low voice, the butler came to Ma Chao's side and said in a low voice, "Lord Ma, you can see that the rain is getting heavier and the flood water is getting bigger and bigger. It's getting more and more urgent, do you want to inform the Hou Ye?"

Ma Chao also had a great fate. He did not die under the ambush of the Qingtang barbarians, but escaped with the Dongchuan Marquis.

When he first came back, he was covered in blood and was in a state of embarrassment, but now he has put on a new dry suit, and is guarding outside the study with his personal soldiers and knives.

Hearing the butler's question, Ma Chao was a little undecided.

Before the retreat, Dongchuanhou had issued an order, saying that unless there was an emergency military situation, no one could break into the study to disturb his rest.

At this moment, although the heavy rain and flood are strange, Ma Chao is not sure whether this is an emergency military situation.

He thought for a while, and said, "Steward, let's observe first. If the flood continues to rise, we will notify the Marquis to transfer. Now, you should think of a way. In addition to building embankments to prevent floods, you must also flood the yard into the yard. It would be better if the incoming water is drained away, and the light is not blocked, so I am afraid it won't last long."

"That's the only way." The housekeeper sighed, and he murmured in his heart: Drainage? It is simple to say, there is water everywhere now, how can I drain it? Where to go?

At this moment, in the study room with the door closed and no light, a serious and cold voice came from the Duke of Dongchuan: "What happened outside?"

The housekeeper took the lead and replied, "Master Hou, your recuperation is over? Are you feeling okay? Need something to eat? It rained suddenly tonight. The rain was so heavy that it caused a flood in the city."

"Suddenly raining and causing floods?"

The door of the study suddenly opened, and Hou Dongchuan sat cross-legged in the dark room, his eyes twinkling brightly, looking at the heavy rain and stagnant water outside the house.

Whether it was the housekeeper or Ma Chao, or the other servants and personal soldiers in the mansion, they were all frightened by Dongchuanhou's gaze. In an instant, they felt like they were being stared at by poisonous snakes, and they felt horrified and chilled all over.

Marquis Dongchuan ignored them. Looking at the flood outside the house, he intuitively told him that something was wrong.

"Although there is no shortage of rain in Qingtangwei, it is extremely rare for a flood of this scale to occur in the city. Especially this rain, it shouldn't last long, right?"

"It's really not that long, less than a stick of incense," Ma Chao replied.

The Marquis of Dongchuan did not hesitate, and immediately ordered: "Send someone to investigate the cause of the rising water immediately, and see if there are wizards in Qingtang! Do these damned barbarians want to play water attack with us? It's not a small appetite. , I am not satisfied after eating my army, but still want to swallow Qingtang Acropolis in one bite? Are you not afraid of breaking their teeth? Then send people to the barracks, transfer troops to the city wall to garrison, and send more nights to leave the city to investigate Qingtang. For the military situation of the Tang Man soldiers, contact the other two military towns."

When they rushed back to the city in embarrassment, Dongchuanhou had already sent someone to the military camp to give orders, telling them to end their rest and be on standby at all times.

Now that the water in the city is rising strangely, he immediately suspected that Qingtang was playing tricks, and made a series of targeted arrangements.

That is to say, Baiqingjiang Shui Bo gave orders to the shrimps, crabs, fish and turtles not to approach Dongchuanhou's mansion, so as not to arouse the alarm of Dongchuanhou. clues.

Ma Chao handed over his orders and hurriedly dispatched one after another of his personal soldiers to carry out the orders of the Marquis of Dongchuan.

The Marquis of Dongchuan has not fully recovered his blood energy at this moment, but he interrupted the exercise and breathing in advance because he heard the movement outside.

Seeing the strangeness of the heavy rain and flood, he no longer continued to retreat and adjust his breath. He planned to restore his vitality in another way. He turned his head and told the housekeeper, "Go and get me something to eat."

The housekeeper replied yes and rushed to the kitchen in person.

After a while, he turned back with a food box in his hand.

"Marquis, there is water in the kitchen, so I can't make a fire. Fortunately, the cook heard that you were back, so she warmed some cooked food on the stove. You can make do with it first."

Saying that, the housekeeper opened the food box, and an alluring sweet smell floated out from the food box. Ma Chao couldn't help swallowing and probed curiously, only to see that in addition to ordinary wine and meat, there were also other food boxes. A bowl of wine and eggs.

This bowl of wine and eggs should have been cold for a while, but the fragrance is still tempting, even the Duke of Dongchuan couldn't help but move his index finger, swallowing his saliva, and said in surprise: "It smells so good. , when did the cook still have this skill? What is the name of this dish?"

The housekeeper replied: "Hui Hou Ye said that this dish is called spider wine red egg, and the cook said it was a new dish she learned. The person who taught her this dish was brought over from the capital by a big businessman. After the war broke out , the rich merchant ran away immediately, but the cook was left behind."

Dongchuan Hou nodded: "It's a capable person, let that cook work in the house in the future, as long as he cooks delicious food, I won't treat him badly, I'm not like those businessmen who are cold by nature. ."

The butler replied yes. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

Dongchuan Hou picked up the wine and made the eggs, but he didn't rush to eat it, but let the housekeeper take a sip first.

A moment ago, he also said that he was not a cold-blooded person, and even his confidants couldn't believe it in the blink of an eye, and it was a bit ironic that he had to test poison.

Seeing that the butler took a bite, there was no problem. Dongchuan Hou finished the wine and egg in one bite. He only felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and the taste was wonderful. For a while, he was still a little unfinished, and ordered the butler: "Let the kitchen make another!"

The housekeeper nodded and took orders, and was about to go to the kitchen, but under the leadership of the servants in the mansion, a few people who looked like soldiers rushed into the courtyard and reported in a loud voice: "Master, it's not good. Now, the little prince is dead!"

"what?"

"Little Marquis is dead?"

"how can that be?"

Not only Dongchuan Hou was shocked when he heard this, but everyone in the courtyard was in an uproar.

The Marquis of Dongchuan stood up abruptly and asked repeatedly, "My son died? How did he die? Where did he die? Huh?!"

Marquis Dongchuan, who was furious, suddenly found a strange numbness in his body, which made it difficult for him to control his hands and feet. At the same time, the blood energy in his body was corroded and was rapidly decaying, and there was still a colic in his abdomen. Come.

I've been poisoned?

Is what you just ate poisonous?

But why is the butler okay?

Marquis Dongchuan hurriedly used his powers to suppress the toxin in order to lessen its effects. At the same time, he turned his head to look at the butler, only to see that a sharp long knife suddenly appeared in the butler's hand, slashing towards him!

At the same time, the guards who reported the news and the servants who led the way, like conjuring tricks, 'changed' weapons from under the robes, behind the body, and in the stagnant water, and flew towards him! <pstyle="text-align:center;">
