Chapter 182 Why Does He Want to Harm Me?
"Report! Several more poisoned people have appeared!"
Zuo Mingyuan had just sat down and hadn't had time to drink a sip of water when he was called out again. This time, the expression on his face became even more solemn.
The sun was blazing, and the scorching heat fell on people's bodies, as if it was going to burn them to pieces. Looking at this scene, Yun Nian felt that a storm was about to come.
"What exactly do they want to do? Could the invasion of the Ke Luo army be related to Feiyu Tower?"
She carefully recalled the days she had spent in Feiyu Tower. Apart from the time she saw Urtu, she had not noticed any other strange people.
Of course, even if the First Elder and the Second Elder cooperated with Ke Luo's people, they probably wouldn't let her see it.
But speaking of strange people, isn’t Bai Ling, who brought her to the Prince’s Mansion, from Feiyu Tower?
She was also Ning Sinian's subordinate. Ning Sinian had planted people in Feiyu Tower, but now he has defected. No one knows where he has gone.
"What a mess..."
Yun Nian scratched her hair randomly with her fingers and sighed helplessly.
"Your Highness should also know about these things. Isn't the Great Elder in contact with him?"
Maybe she shouldn't have been so worried.
But soon, Yun Nian realized that this was not just a simple case of stealing and poisoning.
Because when Zuo Mingyuan came back, Qi Ming also came with him. He looked extremely tired, as if he had spent a lot of energy.
As soon as he entered the room, he wanted to collapse on the ground. It was only when he saw Yun Nian that he managed to maintain basic etiquette.
Before Yun Nian could speak, Zuo Mingyuan began to explain for her.
"The people who were poisoned this time were the original residents of Jisha City. They did not flee due to their own health problems. They just provided us with food, but they did not expect to be poisoned this time."
He sighed, looking obviously distressed and angry.
"The number of people poisoned has spread to hundreds, almost all the remaining civilians."
"But were so many people poisoned at the same time? After you came back, did the soldiers continue to investigate?"
Yun Nian frowned and thought,
"If there were many people from Feiyu Tower mixed in, we would have definitely discovered them. There weren't many people left here, and everyone was familiar with each other. How could a stranger come in without being discovered?"
The west gate of Jisha City is just a sparsely populated town built around the edge of the city wall.
If this wasn't a pass that needed to be guarded, no one would be willing to live here in the first place. This is what it has become after hundreds of years of soldiers settling here and dying, and countless reincarnations.
"How did they get poisoned? Has anyone woken up?"
When Qi Ming mentioned this, his expression became even uglier. He gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, as if he was extremely angry.
"Someone woke up, but when asked how he was poisoned, he just said he didn't know. Who was he trying to fool? I knew he was lying as soon as I saw him."
If Yun Nian saw correctly, Qi Ming was holding a list with ink on it.
"If we weren't short of manpower and everyone was exhausted from defending the city for so many days, I would have tortured him and let him know the consequences of hiding things from me."
Huh? Why don't you want to tell me how you were poisoned? This is too strange. As people in Jisha City, they should know that if they want to survive, they can only rely on the soldiers. Why would they risk offending Qi Ming and lie?
This was really too irrational. She looked at Zuo Mingyuan again. He was a stubborn person. It was fine for him to kill the enemy and set up formations, but it was almost impossible for him to handle this kind of thing.
Zuo Mingyuan also felt that he was really useless. He avoided Yun Nian's gaze and sat dejectedly on the stone bench.
"Since Feiyu Tower is unable to poison everyone at the same time, is it possible that they have helpers?"
Yun Nian spoke softly, but Qi Ming suddenly became excited.
"Impossible. There weren't many soldiers left. I remember every one of their faces and their personalities. No one would do such a thing at this time!"
"Miss Yun, I can assure you that they are absolutely trustworthy. I'm afraid that the people from Feiyu Tower you mentioned have strange means, which caused such a big disaster. The doctor has gone to collect herbs, and they will be able to detoxify soon."
His words made Yun Nian speechless. In such a tense situation, any suspicion could trigger the danger in the dark, especially for the soldiers who were already exhausted physically and mentally.
But it was obviously impossible to let the person who poisoned her go. Yun Nian asked to go see the woman who was less poisoned, the old man's daughter.
Qi Ming naturally would not refute him on such a matter. Zuo Mingyuan led the way in front. The usually proud boy was unusually frustrated at this moment, as if he had high hopes of showing off his skills but fell into a mud pit in front of the girl he liked.
If he had listened to Yun Nian and moved next door earlier, he might have discovered the people from Feiyu Tower earlier and prevented so many people from dying from poisoning.
Although the doctor has gone to collect herbs, it is unknown how long it will take. No one knows how many days the poisoned people can live.
He was in a very low mood. Yun Nian thought for a moment and quickly walked over to him.
"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault, no one expected something like this to happen."
"Detective work isn't something you're good at. When we find out who poisoned you, you must teach them a lesson."
She said with a smile, and the boy's face finally looked better.
"What's more, you see, you have become a support for many people, and they are all waiting for you."
Outside the old man's yard, the soldiers guarding the gate lit up their eyes when they saw Zuo Mingyuan. Ever since this young lieutenant general killed Turancha in the enemy camp, he had won their heartfelt respect.
Seeing the soldier's trusting look, Zuo Mingyuan raised his hand and patted his shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work. How are the people inside?"
"Not awake yet, just..."
His eyes dimmed, and Yun Nian had already stepped in. Seeing the body covered with white cloth, the old man was already dead.
Zuo Mingyuan opened the door for her. Even though she was in the room, she felt like she was in a steamer. Hot air rushed in.
The woman on the bed breathed rapidly, and then suddenly opened her eyes.
"It's him. He's back. But why would he want to harm me?"
he?
Yun Nian stepped forward and held her hand.
