Qingshui Town has always been a battleground for military strategists, because there is a Yingwu Pass here, which is already bordering Dali Prefecture, and it is well connected, connecting to Chuxiong Prefecture, Yao'an Prefecture and Menghua Prefecture. It is indeed a very lively place in Yunnan.
Precisely because of the excitement, the news became less easy to conceal.
Because the amount of medicinal herbs needed by the army recently was really too much, and some experienced old doctors knew at a glance that these were all detoxifying herbs.
This is strange, why would we suddenly need such a large amount of detoxifying herbs
The news reached Cao Ruishen, who had not yet left. He was as if he had been pardoned, and asked Wen Sheng again, "Did you poison the food so quickly?"
Wen Sheng knew what he meant, so he couldn't help but laugh, with a look of pride and joy in his eyes: "Look at what you said, sir. Why did you poison them? Is it because you are gradually seeing that they are a little bit sick? Of course you have to use strong medicine. This is why we remind you to find a way to leave after sending food and grass, because as long as they eat it, they will definitely think about the food and grass within three days."
Cao Ruishen had a deep gaze and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
Wen Sheng then softened his tone and mocked Xiao Heng: "That prince is really a good person, and he helped you a lot."
Only then did Cao Ruishen feel completely relieved.
The poison was administered by Wen Sheng's men, and they knew the efficacy of the drug best. Since they all said that the drug was so effective, he had nothing to worry about. However, he could not help but ask again, "Then, since they are already sick cats, isn't this a good opportunity?"
Wen Sheng sneered and stared at Cao Ruishen. After an unknown amount of time, he finally hummed, "I wanted to tell you later, but since you're asking now, I'll tell you sooner. My Lord, the decisive battle is about to begin."
He tapped on the map, placed it on the three characters of Yingwu Pass, and said in a deep voice, "Take advantage of his weakness to kill him. Dali Prefecture has a total of 50,000 guards. Together with the Erhai Guards and those who are friendly with the Tusi, there should be at least 100,000 guards. 100,000 is enough."
One hundred thousand people are indeed enough. After all, Xiao Heng and his men have been poisoned. How can they still fight
Wen Sheng could not hide the pride and sarcasm on his face, and said gloomily and coldly: "This time, it will be their death. They thought they had concealed it very well, but in fact, just looking at the herbs they purchased, we know that they must have eaten the food and grass and something went wrong. Even if they quickly realized that there was a problem with the food and grass, so what? They have already been poisoned, and didn't the adults also say that their food and grass have already run out."
This time, it is a battle that we must win.
Cao Ruishen breathed a sigh of relief: "You guys are really far-sighted. You have considered everything."
"I have to think more about this important task." Wen Sheng smiled and looked at Cao Ruishen: "Don't worry, sir. When you accomplish great things in the future, you will be a first-class contributor!"
Cao Ruishen immediately realized what Wen Sheng meant by what he said - Wen Sheng wanted to subdue him, or in other words, he wanted to subdue him on behalf of those people from the previous dynasty.
When dealing with Xiao Heng, Mu Tong could naturally form a team with those people, but once the battle was really won, they would be on opposite sides of each other again. From Wen Sheng's tone, it was clear that these people regarded themselves as the masters of this country, and these places were regarded as theirs.
Then, Yunnan naturally cannot be really given up to the people of Mu Mansion to manage.
They thought about the future so quickly and started arranging the chess pieces.
Cao Ruishen remained silent.
Wen Sheng didn't push him too hard, he just smiled and patted Cao Ruishen on the shoulder: "Forget it, sir, don't worry, just think about it slowly, now you should go find Sixth Master first. When you meet Sixth Master, you will know what a good life is."
Cao Ruishen breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, he was helped to reach this position by Mu Tong, and it was Mu Tong who gave him money that allowed him to live such a comfortable life. That stupid woman, Madam Cao, helped him to gather information everywhere, but she didn't know that he had never thought of including Madam Cao in his future life.
You know, he has a mansion in Dali Prefecture, where he also has a lovely wife and young children.
It was indeed a little hard for him to accept that he had to make a decision right away and betray Mu Tong. Fortunately, Wen Sheng did not continue to ask for a positive answer from him. His pressure was temporarily relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Wen Sheng: "Wen Sheng, do you know where they are now?"
Wen Sheng showed a smug expression: "They are quite good at hiding. When the internal strife broke out in Yunnan, most people naturally followed Tusi Mu Tong, but there were also quite a few people who refused to obey and listened to the former Prince of the Mu Mansion. Those people also gave Tusi Mu Tong a headache, right?"
Cao Ruishen was very alert. He knew that the power behind Wen Sheng was very powerful, but he did not expect that they could really grasp the affairs of Yunnan so clearly.
I really don’t know whether it is a good thing or a desperate move for Mu Tong to cooperate with these people this time.
But what Wen Sheng said was right, and there was nothing to hide about it, so he nodded with a complicated look.
Wen Shengzhi was very proud: "Heqing Prefecture and Beisheng Prefecture are both controlled by the old party. We didn't know where Miss Mu San and Mu Qinglu went before. It was only recently that we found out that they were taken away by people from Heqing Prefecture. Now the Sixth Master has gone there disguised as a businessman. These two people must either die or fall into the hands of Tusi Mu Tong, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
After all, they are the direct descendants of the imperial family recognized by the court. They have the imperial court as their banner, and they also have the support of a group of old people. These two people are Mu Tong's biggest concern.
Cao Ruishen was wary of Wen Sheng's attempts to win him over, but he had no psychological burden at all when it came to killing these two men. He knew very well that the future was the future, and if he could kill these two men now, there would only be benefits.
He couldn't wait to ask: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and meet Master Liu!"
Wen Sheng was very satisfied with his reaction. He laughed a few times and nodded. The two of them had a very pleasant conversation and soon became closer than before.
When they finished their discussion, three ordinary-looking people came out of the teahouse and followed them without making any noise.
Neither Cao Ruishen nor Wen Sheng noticed it. They were in a hurry to get on with their journey and rarely stayed overnight unless it was necessary.
