Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

Chapter 441 Mushroom Poisoning

Li Xingxian was taken by Liu Qingfeng and others to a stretcher where a man who looked like a soldier was lying unconscious.

He walked up to him and shook him vigorously, then reached out to feel his pulse. When he found that he was merely unconscious and not in danger of life, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"He should just be unconscious, nothing serious."

Before Li Xingxian finished speaking, a leader took the lead and said, "Your Highness, more than 60% of our soldiers are in this situation now."

"What...what?" Li Xingxian looked at him in shock. Wasn't everything fine last night?

"But did you eat any poisonous plants, or was there something wrong with the broth last night?"

The leader was a little unsure and could only answer, "The military doctor is already treating him, but it's hard to tell what poison he consumed for the time being."

Moreover, so many soldiers were infected at once, this is not an ordinary poisoning incident.

The action was about to begin, but this large-scale unexpected incident made Li Xingxian feel uneasy. He became hesitant even though he had been very confident that he would succeed all these days.

After a while, Wang Zhuo and Li Junze also heard the report from their subordinates and quickly rushed over.

Wang Zhuo took a look at the condition of the soldier lying on the stretcher, then anxiously went to see the conditions of the other people. The more he looked, the colder his heart became.

"This, the situation seems to be bad..."

Wang Zhuo only spoke these words lightly to Li Junze, and the two of them exchanged glances quickly. The collective poisoning of tens of thousands of people was obviously caused by human beings.

Looking at the conditions of these people, apart from being unconscious, there are no other abnormal symptoms. If you think about it this way, it can only be one possibility.

The other party discovered their whereabouts and used some means to make them do this, probably just to minimize the damage.

Li Junze was also horrified, "Could it be that when we came here yesterday, someone from their group followed us here?"

Wang Zhuo shook his head. "No, we are taking the underground passage, so they definitely won't be able to find us."

Thinking of this, Li Junze finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he was about to ask something else, Li Xingxian came over.

"Sir, how is it? Can you figure out what's going on?" he asked anxiously.

Wang Zhuo shook his head. "I can't tell much at the moment. It seems like some of the symptoms are food poisoning. Let's wait and see the results of the military doctor's examination."

He concealed his worries. After all, when a war was about to start, some things might shake the morale of the army if they were spoken out.

"Could it be that Li Junhao and the others knew about our whereabouts this time, so they are..."

Li Xingxian took a few steps forward, walked in front of Wang Zhuo, and asked in a low voice.

Wang Zhuo shook his head decisively. “Li Junhao is a man of deep thoughts. If he really discovered our whereabouts, he would definitely not spare so many lives.”

His meaning was very clear. If Li Junhao and his team had done this, they would definitely not use this kind of drug that makes people unconscious, but would choose drugs that directly poison people to death.

After all, in the ideas that Wang Zhuo instilled in Li Xingxian, Li Junhao was not only deep-minded, but also ruthless and would do anything to achieve his goals.

Li Xingxian nodded in agreement, and then asked, "In your opinion, do we need to adjust our actions?"

He was already a little unsure whether he should change his plan for the next action.

"We have been planning for so long, and today is the final battle. We can't change the plan. Even if Li Junhao knows about it in advance, what can we do? We still have a plan to deal with it."

Wang Zhuo raised his hand, denied Li Xingxian's idea, and answered in a very sonorous and powerful voice. Not only Li Xingxian heard this sentence, but also several leaders behind him heard it clearly.

At this time, two military doctors had been brought over by Liu Qingfeng.

"How is it? Have you discovered what kind of poison you were poisoned by?" Li Xingxian asked anxiously without waiting for them to salute.

The two military doctors looked at each other, and finally the older military doctor bowed and said,

"Your Highness, Prince Yan, although I'm not too sure, it's probably because they accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms. They will definitely not be able to participate in today's operation."

There must be all kinds of mushrooms in the jungle. Occasionally, we pick some and use them as ingredients, especially when stewing meat or making soup, the taste is very delicious.

Logically speaking, the cook would not make such a mistake, but nothing is absolute.

When Li Xingxian heard the result, he looked at Wang Zhuo again and saw Wang Zhuo nodded in agreement.

"When I saw it just now, I had the same guess. Since it was an accident, let's act according to the original plan."

His words were very firm, and he was also worried that these negative emotions would spread in the army, so he wanted to give them a reassurance.

Li Xingxian nodded and said loudly to the leaders, "Count the number of people and set out immediately after the meal. These unconscious brothers should rest here first."

Liu Qingfeng said "yes", and several leaders also responded loudly.

Li Xingxian looked at the sky and it seemed to be getting brighter, so he didn't delay any longer and helped Wang Zhuo back to his tent.

"Uncle, there will be a great battle today..." Li Junze returned to the military tent and before he could finish his sentence, someone else came to report.

Li Xingxian frowned and let someone in. When he saw that it was Liu Qingfeng, he asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"

Liu Qingfeng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was horrified. "Just now, Chief Wu reported that when he was counting the number of people, he found that a soldier who was on patrol last night was missing."

The soldier was responsible for patrolling in the second half of the night, and was patrolling around Prince Yan's tent, but he strangely disappeared this morning.

Wang Zhuo's first thought after hearing this was Gu Xunwei. He immediately said to Li Junze, "Quick, Ze'er, go see if Miss Gu is still in the tent?"

He spoke anxiously, and Li Junze seemed to suddenly remember something after listening to him. He turned around and ran out.

Liu Qingfeng and Li Xingxian looked at each other and then ran out.

Gu Xunwei and the guard who was guarding her were all brought here by Wang Zhuo and his men, so they were definitely not included in the inventory.

However, when Li Junze and Liu Qingfeng rushed to a nearby tent, they immediately discovered something was wrong before they even entered.

The door curtain, which should have been closed tightly, was now wide open, and the cold night wind would surely blow in without any obstruction.
