When everyone was discussing, they suddenly smelled a strange smell of smoke in the air.

"My lord! It's not good!"

Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and an anxious soldier ran in in a panic, sweating profusely.

The regent was already displeased, but when he saw him like this, he immediately became angry, and said angrily: "What's the matter with panic? What's going on?"

The soldier wiped the sweat off his face indiscriminately, swallowed his saliva, and said dryly, "The rebels... are back again!"

The soldiers had long been accustomed to the trick of the rebels pretending to attack the city and then taking the opportunity to escape. At this time, they hadn't realized what was wrong, and they still looked calm.

"Come back when you come back, what's there to panic about?"

The soldier became even more anxious immediately, sweating profusely, and his body trembling, "But these people are throwing burning wolf dung into the city! It's so choking that everyone who smells it is unconscious, dizzy, and foaming at the mouth! "

All the soldiers came to understand just now, how could this wolf smoke make the mouth foam?I'm afraid it's not poisonous!

Thinking of this, everyone went out one after another. As soon as they reached the door, the weird smell of smoke became even stronger. The street outside the house was already covered with a thick layer of smoke, and the entire city was covered with extremely thick smoke and dust. It's like a huge steamer!

Outside the city, the rebels were still using catapults to throw burning wolf dung into the city. If they encountered sparks, they would immediately burst into flames when thrown into the street, and the people in the city screamed again and again. Rushing to tell each other, the streets were full of voices and people fell down in all directions.

After coming out and standing for less than half a cup of tea, some people felt flustered and short of breath. Afterwards, two or three people started to vomit.

The regent was shocked, "What's going on?"

Ke Ran's nose twitched twice, and immediately realized something was wrong, so she quickly covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, and reminded loudly, "This wolf dung has hook kisses mixed in, quickly cover your mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief!"

The crowd reacted just now, and quickly supported each other to go back to the house to hide, and went to fetch water in groups of three and four, and hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with wet veils.

Outside the house, white smoke spread from all directions, and from time to time, sparkling wolf dung fell from the sky in the air, hitting the surrounding bluestone floor with a deafening sound of "bang bang".

Ke Ran ordered everyone to close the doors and windows, and then blocked the gaps with wet veils. After working for a long time, the house was completely sealed to block the intrusion of thick smoke.

Looking out from the house, there is a white-yellow smoke and dust on all sides. Although the poisonous smoke has not entered the house, the air is still filled with extremely choking dust gas. Apart from the loud noise of meteorites hitting the ground, the street is nearby. The screams of the common people one after another, the city today is almost like a purgatory on earth!
Xue Lince clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and frowned with long brows, feeling helpless and anxious at the same time.

"This gang of traitors have come so despicably, and the people in the city are also their comrades! How innocent they are!"

Chai Jin also clenched his fists and made a "click" sound with his knuckles, "Now they are attacking with poisonous smoke, I am afraid that after the soldiers and the people are poisoned, their next step will be to attack the city, when the [-] troops in the city will be Display, how to resist?"

The regent listened to this, and he immediately became impatient, "Pass me the password, let the soldiers cover their mouths and noses, and throw out all the wolf dung in the city!"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Ke Ran hurriedly said to stop her, with a row of sweat breaking out on her forehead.

The regent has always been short-tempered, and because he didn't like Xue Lince and his party at all, his eyes bulged suddenly, and the veins on his forehead twitched, "Why not? Could it be possible to wait for all [-] soldiers in the city to be poisoned? Do you know how strong men cut off their wrists? "

"Wait a minute, my lord," Ke Ran still advised patiently, "Just now you saw how tyrannical the poison in this wolf smoke is, if you really let the soldiers pick it up with flesh and blood, more people will be poisoned, and the falling of the wolf smoke is not very regular Not to mention throwing it back, even if you go out, you may be hit, and most of your troops will be lost, why bother?"

The regent's brows twitched, and the rapid scarlet in his eyes faded half a bit. He couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he looked at Xue Lince who was aside, "Master Xue, as the general of Zhenbei, do you have one or two tricks?"

Unexpectedly, this difficult problem suddenly fell on him, Xue Lince's temples twitched, and he was also anxious and undecided. When asked by the regent, he had no choice but to express the unformed plan in his heart.

"My lord, according to what my subordinates see, the beacon smoke was thrown in by a catapult outside the city. The catapult is more powerful than an elephant, and the beacon smoke will only fall into the range from the center to the south of the city. Just move the people and soldiers to the north of the city. Leaving the projection range, during the period, let the soldiers who are still lightly poisoned and still have the ability to go to the city wall to take down the trebuchet, and then they can gain a chance of life."

He said it sincerely, and the plan is indeed feasible.

The regent's fingers gripped the hilt of the sword until his knuckles turned white. He scanned all the people present, and heaved a long sigh after confirming that no one had a better solution.

"Okay, then according to what the general said, move all the soldiers and people to the north of the city, and allocate [-] troops to capture the catapult!"

The rest of the soldiers who were not poisoned received the military order and were about to go out, but they were stopped by Ke Ran again.

"Wait!"

"What's the matter?"

The muscles on the regent's face twitched twice, obviously displeased.

"Even if the plan is feasible, if the people and soldiers are to be transferred to the north of the city, it is inevitable that they will have to enter the range of the beacon fire during the transfer. What if they are poisoned?"

These words caught everyone's attention, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, staring at each other, and they were helpless.

"What can you do?"

The regent knew nothing about medicine, so he had no choice but to ask Ke Ran for advice.

He thought for a while, frowned slightly, and then said with some embarrassment, "There is indeed a way to detoxify, but this way is not completely feasible, but the situation is critical now, and I am afraid that there is no time to prepare the medicine, so I have to retreat." And come second."

The regent restrained his emotions and urged: "Please come quickly, sir."

"You just need to soak the crushed Tripterygium wisteriae in water, put it on the center of the eyebrows and between the people, and cover it with a handkerchief, and you can fight the poison with poison," Ke Ran said, "It's just that this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause. delay the onset of symptoms."

"It's feasible!" the Regent made a final decision, "Just do as Mr. Ke said! As long as the people can be transferred out, we can discuss everything afterwards!"

Ke Ran's brows twitched, "Then I'll go and prepare the antidote immediately, and I will be able to completely detoxify the poison when the soldiers return."

The regent waved his hand, so everyone quickly divided into several groups, each performing its duties.
