When everyone heard this, they were confused and shocked. They looked at Xiaocao with burning eyes, waiting for her to explain.
The Liuqie hierarchy is stricter than that of the Qi Dynasty. If you are one level higher, you can easily take someone's life, which has led to an absolute rule from top to bottom. Many ordinary soldiers are slaves of the aristocracy. Their existence is not to accumulate military merits and get promoted, but for the glory of their master. It is extremely difficult for non-slave soldiers to stand out, unless you are really brave and invincible. Even so, you can only climb to the middle level at most. Perhaps after several generations of accumulation, you can really occupy a place.
At the same time, the levels are not as numerous and detailed as Qi Chao's. As a general, he has more or less people under him.
This has created a situation: once problems arise among the upper-level generals in Liuqi, it is like the Liuqi army is a ferocious wolf and will become a group of sheep. Even if each individual is still fierce, as a whole, they can no longer play much of a role.
So, it’s no wonder these people reacted so strongly.
Xiao Cao didn't show much emotion on her face, she continued to look at Li Ruoshui...
"Speaking of which, this matter is all thanks to our Miss Shui. - You said before that I was developing medicine in Liuqi, which is quite normal, right? If I didn't develop medicine, how could I turn you into a perfect human-shaped poison
You knew from the beginning how much I hate you. I hate someone, but I won't have that person appear in front of me all the time to annoy me. I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have the time to bother others, nor do I have the interest. I can endure the disgust and not kill you, so I must have a purpose. "
Seeing Li Ruoshui's eyes wide open in disbelief, Xiao Cao continued to speak slowly, "Remember how many kinds of medicine I tried on you? Thirty-six kinds. Taken separately, some of these medicines have significant effects and are beneficial without harm. If six of them are needed, they will be thrown away. After all, in order to achieve the goal, some investment in advance is necessary. Some research and development was wasted and had no effect? None of these matters, as long as some of the medicinal power remains in your body, it is enough.
Accumulating bit by bit? I have put a lot of thought into it. After all, this is the first time. I want to make your body more and more beautiful and charming, so that those men who have been attracted by you will become addicted to it? And they can't stop? There is not much time for me, and I have no guarantee of success. In the end, God will not let down those who work hard.
Miss Shui has many lovers every day, except for the nobles and royal families in the city. It is almost impossible to find a general in Liuqi who has not slept with you when he was rotated back to the rear city from the front-line military camp, right
There are too many people? Miss Shui is probably a bit overwhelmed? But it doesn't matter, it doesn't take three or five times? Once, once is enough to make them addicted to drugs that they will definitely not be able to break for a year or two? To avoid being discovered in advance, this prolongs the time of drug addiction, and I have spent a lot of energy. After the results of the negotiations between the two countries came out, I calculated the time. Without your medicine, those people will have attacks one after another in half a month. After a month, no one who has been involved with you will be able to escape!"
At the end, Xiaocao's voice was fierce and harsh, but there was a smile on her lips, "When it attacks, it's like ants gnawing at my bones and flesh. I want to die, but my hands and feet are weak and I can't die. Once it starts, without you, it will happen every twelve hours, and the intervals will get shorter and shorter...
Can they still lead troops to fight?"
Xiaocao will never forget those who died because of her. When she stepped into Liuqie, she swore that if she had the chance, she would take revenge herself. She did it, which may be able to comfort the souls of those heroes in heaven a little.
The words were spoken to Li Ruoshui, and a detailed explanation was given to others.
For a moment, everyone was speechless for a long time. The shock in their hearts was hard to calm down. They looked at Xiaocao with respect and fear. As expected, this woman could be extremely cruel when she got angry. Especially for someone with special abilities like Princess Anguo, it was even more terrifying.
Those who originally had some complaints about Xiaocao, now put away all their thoughts and ideas. Don't mess with her!
Of course, they may not believe it all, but it is easy to verify. They will know in half a month. There are also spies from Qi Dynasty in Liuqi. So many people are affected that they don’t even need to inquire deliberately and can easily find out.
The one who couldn't believe it the most was Li Ruoshui. She didn't expect that she was just a tool in Xiaocao's hands and was used thoroughly. After being stunned for a moment, she screamed madly, "Wenrenxuan, I'm telling you, don't even think about succeeding. Don't even think about it. I haven't slept with any of them. Just wait, wait..."
In fact, Xiaocao actually underestimated Li Ruoshui's moral integrity and bottom line. Even though there were a large number of people, those who had a relationship with Li Ruoshui had done it less than three times. The Liuqi people, who also had no moral integrity, didn't mind everyone playing together.
—From Li Ruoshui’s reaction, one can naturally see the opposite meaning of her words, and that is enough.
"Take her away. She is a 'hero' of our Qi Dynasty after all. Don't let her die easily. Tell the people below to be more careful. Many people had their eyes glued to her before. Now she is a real poisonous beauty. If you are infected with her, don't come to me for 'detoxification'. I have no mercy on those who are seduced by beauty and can't control their belts."
When everyone heard this, they looked at Li Ruoshui with not only lustful eyes but also undisguised disgust. Some people even stepped back. Now they would avoid her like the plague. Anyone who went up to her would be a fool.
Mu Bei had Li Ruoshui dragged out and issued a direct military order, requiring violators to be punished according to military regulations.
Xiao Cao's expression finally eased a little, "I am responsible for causing trouble for you all this time. Thank you for your hard work."
"Princess, what are you talking about..."
"Nothing..."
"Princess, you are devoted to your country and your people. If you continue to say such things, it will really make us ashamed."
There were so many examples like this that they were too numerous to mention. Before, people thought that because of her, Qi Chao's grand plan was ruined, and many plans and losses were wasted. She was a traitor to Qi Chao. But now, she has turned things around with her own strength, and created a more favorable situation for Qi Chao. All her faults have become merits. Her original position was unshakable, and after she returns, it will only be more stable. I'm afraid no one will dare to say anything anymore.
Xiaocao didn't feel happy when she heard the compliments. It was a fact that those people died because of her.
Xiaocao stood up and said, "The rest of the things will be left to you guys." She turned her head to look at Wei Tingyu. Wei Tingyu stepped forward and left the main tent with her. It was hard to say whether he would intervene in what happened next. At least Xiaocao was the most important person at this moment.
There were people all around, so naturally there was no intimate action between the two of them.
"The people who went to Liuqi before told me that the mastermind of the negotiations this time was Prince Duan. Why didn't I see him?" Xiaocao didn't think that Prince Duan should come to greet her, but it was mainly because it was reasonable and logical that Prince Duan should show up.
"Prince Duan has recently caught a cold. His condition isn't serious, but he's been ill intermittently and hasn't fully recovered. Now that things have come to a point, it doesn't matter if he's not here. Let him rest in North City." Wei Tingyu said softly.
"I see. I'll go take a look after I return to North City."
After entering the tent specially prepared for Xiaocao, the servants consciously stopped at the door and left the space for the couple.
Wei Tingyu could no longer control himself and hugged Xiaocao tightly in his arms. His eyes were red at this moment. His previously tense heartstrings were broken at this moment, and there was even a hint of vulnerability in his expression. "Xuan'er..."
Xiaocao actually felt okay about the "Six-cut Trip", especially since she had achieved her goal. Apart from spending a lot of time trying to turn Li Ruoshui into a "Poisonous Beauty", she could be considered relaxed throughout the rest of the time. So the one who was having a hard time was not her, but her family, lover, and friends, the worst of whom was the man in front of her.
Once her safety was involved, Wei Tingyu would always be very nervous, although sometimes he would appear to support her ideas and decisions more than others. As long as she insisted on something, he would always be the one to compromise in the end.
However, there are some things that Xiaocao cannot compromise on. She has to do it, and Wei Tingyu has to give in. Fortunately, this kind of situation does not happen very often. Well, although it happens less frequently, once it happens, it is also the most worrying thing. It was like this last time the epidemic broke out, and it is also like this time.
Xiaocao knew that Wei Tingyu had been very nervous since arriving in Northern Xinjiang, but he had always been protecting her in his own way and building a line of defense for her. Xiaocao never thought there would be any problem. Facts had proved that she was too confident.
"Tingyu, I'm sorry, there won't be a next time." Liu Qian was crippled this time, and she probably won't come to Northern Xinjiang again in the future, so this objective condition probably won't exist next time.
Wei Tingyu didn't say anything. She knew Xiaocao's personality best. If it happened again, she would still go forward without hesitation. She might never change in her lifetime. In fact, if you look into it carefully, this is not a question of right or wrong. Therefore, what he needs to do is to protect her better and face it together if something really happens.
This time, Wei Tingyu also thought it was his fault. He missed some details and should not have left. Even if he caught the spy, he could have taken him over instead of returning to North City. So he kept reflecting on it over and over again.
But he won't tell Xiaocao about these things.
"It's not your fault. You don't need to apologize. Ever."
Xiaocao's eyes were a little red and her nose was a little sour. Why did this man always indulge her like this
It was really meaningless to dwell on what happened before. Xiao Cao buried her face in Wei Tingyu's shoulder and hugged his thin waist. Although she couldn't feel his bones because he was wearing thick clothes, his waist was indeed much smaller and he was thinner than expected. "But you made yourself like this again. What should I do?"
"I'll listen to you from now on. Take good care of yourself. I'm also fine with any other punishments you want."
Master Wei, please don't be too nice and obedient.
It was naturally impossible for Xiaocao to lose her temper with Wei Tingyu this time like she did last time, so, even for him, she should take better care of herself. She still wanted to grow old with him and didn't want him to shorten his life.
Having said that, this part is over.
After that, the couple were very affectionate with each other. No matter they were eating or Xiaocao was writing a letter of safety to relatives and friends in the imperial city, Wei Tingyu was the only one by her side. In the intervals, Wei Tingyu talked about the situation in Qichao, and Xiaocao talked about her experience in Liuqi.
Xiaocao spoke calmly and looked composed. It seemed that she only reported good news and not bad news. Wei Tingyu was completely relieved. In fact, even if Xiaocao encountered something bad, Wei Tingyu would not bear a grudge against her. He would only direct all his criticism at the people who hurt her. It would be best if he was fine.
Without a war, there would be no wounded soldiers. Now that they were still in the barracks, Xiaocao naturally didn't need to do anything, so he went to bed early. However, in the middle of the night, Xiaocao suddenly woke up - Wei Tingyu was sick, and in a serious condition.
Wei Tingyu's health was originally slightly worse than that of ordinary people. He had always been well-nourished and practiced martial arts to strengthen his body. Even so, it was not possible to make up for the loss. This had been going on for many years. In the past few months, he had not been able to eat or sleep well and was extremely worried. The reason he did not collapse was because his strong spirit had affected his physical condition. Now he could not hold on any longer.
Even though Xiaocao had taken his pulse before and realized that something was wrong, and even gave him some medicine, he still had a high fever in the middle of the night and even fell into a coma and lost consciousness.
Xiaocao was anxious, but he didn't make any mistakes in what he was supposed to do.
Because the noise was quite loud, Mu Bei and the others were attracted over. After learning about the situation, they all fell silent. They had all seen Wei Tingyu's previous condition. To be honest, it was a miracle that he could hold on until now before collapsing.
