Qin Zong didn't know this truth.But he knew better, at times like this, he had to grit his teeth and support him.

Once he surrendered, he might be able to say it, but his parents, uncles, and even the soldiers who were with him would surely end up miserable because of Yin Xuan's grievances.

However, however—

What else can be done?

Bright lights shine brightly, illuminating the faces of everyone present.

When all the exits were blocked and after a lot of discussions, everyone was speechless.

They still can't believe it.At this time yesterday, the Qin family army was still full of ambition.Until now, he has been pulled into such a situation.

It's not their fault for being reckless.Who would have thought that someone in the imperial court would use a whole city of people as hostages to resort to such ghostly tricks as polluting water sources.Even if the Qin family is defeated, what will be recorded in the history books will still be infamous through the ages.

There was silence, except for the ticking of the clock.

Qin Zong's eyes were a little out of focus.After a long time, he realized that there was a cup of tea in a certain direction that he had been staring at.

Qin Zong was shocked.

He suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Father, Aunt, all uncles. After you entered the city, have you ever drank the water here?"

The words came out, and everyone was stunned.

Zhao Yong turned his head uncertainly, looked at a middle-aged man beside him, and said, "Old Hu, as soon as you entered the city, you immediately searched for a well, didn't you?"

The man's face twitched, and he said: "There is such a thing!" After a pause, "Could it be that the water in that well is good?!"

"No." Qin Zong's eyes lighted up slightly, "Since they poisoned the water source, they wouldn't have such omissions!"

"Yes, so I also drank some tea."

"And I."

"But why..." Why are they all right?

A group of generals looked at each other.At the end, they all looked at Qin Zong who was the first to raise this anomaly.

"To tell you the truth." Qin Zong only felt his heartbeat speed up a lot, almost in a daze, and said, "That day when Li Zhuo was soaked in sweat medicine in the drink, I mentioned that the tea made for you uncles came from a special place. Because of that tea, you and I fell for Li Zhuo's trick."

Zhao Yong spoke bluntly, and said, "How much tea is left? Let's brew it quickly for the soldiers in the city!"

There was hope in everyone's eyes, but Qin Zong shook his head and said, "It's gone."

Zhao Yong was taken aback, and Qin Zong said: "I just thought that after such a long time, the effect of tea is still effective. Does it mean that we have antidote in ourselves?"

Li Mingyue's pupils shrank, and she understood what her son meant.

With the antidote on his body, how can he give it to the soldiers?Destroy yourself to detoxify hundreds of thousands of soldiers!

Li Mingyue's heart was in turmoil, and she instinctively shouted: "Ah Zong, no!"

Qin Zong asked back: "Why not?"

Saying this, he drew out his dagger.

Since Lu Qing gave him this knife, Qin Zong has always carried it with him for hundreds of days and nights.

He was used to the pattern of the scabbard, the feel when it was polished, and the soft sound when it pierced the enemy's body.

Now, he rolled up his sleeves and cut his arm with this extremely sharp knife.

Blood gushed out from the wound and gurgled into the vessel.

When the blood accumulated at the bottom of the vessel and began to increase, Qin Zong's complexion gradually turned pale.

He looked determined, and wanted to cut a second wound on himself.

Seeing this, Qin Rong took the dagger from his hand.

Before Qin Zong could open his mouth, Qin Rong also cut his arm.

He was stunned for a moment, then moved: "Father..."

After Qin Rong, there were Zhao Yong, Hu Yu and others.Before they knew it, the short knives had already passed in the hands of everyone, and the utensils were gradually covered with blood.

In the end, the dagger came to Li Mingyue.

No one persuaded.Like countless times before, Li Mingyue cut off her arm to see the blood gushing out.

That night, the blood was poured into various wells in the city.

In all fairness, no one can be sure that this trick is really useful.

But this is already the best solution that Qin Zong and others can think of under the current situation.

At dawn, the weak soldiers were supported and drank mouthfuls of cold well water.

The blood had been diluted and fell into their mouths. At most, there was a slight rusty taste, but it was impossible to taste what was inside.

All the generals' arms were bandaged together, and they patrolled the city anxiously.

Is it useful?Have the soldiers recovered?

Qin Rong and Li Mingyue are people who have seen the gods with their own eyes, and their hearts are still a little relieved.But in the eyes of Zhao Yong, Hu Yu and others, Qin Zong's idea is purely whimsical in a desperate situation.

Seeing that the soldiers drank the well water one by one, Hu Yu licked his lips and asked, "Old Zhao, why don't we go and have a drink too?"

Zhao Yong glanced at him, not quite understanding: "What are you going to do?"

Hu Yu replied: "The tea I drank so long ago can still be useful now, why don't I believe it?"

Zhao Yong was speechless, and said: "Then you find a handful of crotons and eat them first, and drink them later." Otherwise, how can you compare the effects of well water?

Hu Yu sighed and stopped talking.

The higher the sun was, outside the city, the imperial army also took action.

Qin Zong was patrolling the city wall and saw several people riding forward.It's not an invitation to fight, but to shoot a credit arrow to the wall.

Needless to say, it is natural to surrender.

Qin Zong's eyes fell on it for a moment, his expression unpredictable.Seeing this, the soldiers took a step forward, pulled out the arrow, and then tore up the letter directly.

Qin Zong stopped him and said, "Tear it up and do what you want, just return it."

The soldiers listened, and didn't quite understand what Qin Zong meant, but they still put the letter away.

At the same time, in the city.

When patrolling a certain place, Hu Yu asked Zhao Yong uncertainly: "Old Zhao, don't the soldiers here look much better?"

Zhao Yong followed his gaze, took a light breath, and said, "They actually stood up and walked around."

Hu Yu said, "But people who never drank well water before?"

Zhao Yong grabbed the reins and said, "Go over and ask—hey, little soldier."

He summoned someone, and really asked him if he had abdominal pain yesterday, and how he felt today.

Xiao Bing still doesn't know about the poisoning in the capital by the people of the imperial court before leaving, so he said cheerfully, "General! I told them that I was unwell yesterday, but the water and soil are not suitable. When I open today, I really feel better." !"

Hu Yu said suddenly: "Is it really all right?"

"Yes!" Xiaobing stood up straight, "No more discomfort!"

Hu Yu and Zhao Yong looked at each other, and then at the soldiers in front of them.The sun is shining brightly, shining on everyone's face.

There is really no more pain on the top, only the color of relaxation.Ask the little soldier again, he scratches his head and admits embarrassedly.Indeed, this morning, not only did he not feel pain in his stomach, but even his exhaustion from marching for days disappeared a lot.

While Hu Yu and Zhao Yong were pleasantly surprised, they also made up their minds——

What happened last night must be rotten in the stomach.Except for those who were bleeding on the scene, they can no longer tell others.

If not, it would be unimaginable for anyone to know that their blood has such efficacy.

Seeing that the situation was improving, Qin Zong once again gathered all the generals to discuss the future.

From the population of the old man and others who were left in the city, they learned that the chief general of the imperial court was surnamed Zhang, with a single name of Tao.This person lived in Beijing for a long time, and Zhao Yong and others had never had any contact with him.However, even Qin Rong and Li Mingyue were quite surprised, not knowing how Yin Xuan picked this person out.

There is only one Qin Zong.He knew this person's name and surname, and he also knew that in his previous life, this person was also a "legendary" character in Beijing.

18 years ago in Taichang, Zhang Tao's identity was a playboy.Both his parents came from honorable families, as long as there are no serious problems, Zhang Tao can live a safe and prosperous life.

And the "big situation" obviously does not include him forcibly robbing people's land, prostitution, or even spending money to buy slaves, just to watch the slaves fight with their lives.

Such a person has suffered a lot in Taichang for 18 years.

He finally bumped into someone he couldn't and shouldn't mess with.

How can the nobles who have been passed down for several generations be compared to the emperor's own son?

The fourth prince, who was angered by him, came forward and made Zhang Tao's family pay an extremely painful price.

Zhang Tao's father couldn't afford it.According to rumors, Zhang Tao knelt beside his father's bed, determined to change his mind.

And he really did.In the future, I will study and study literature, and change my face.A few years after Yin Xuan ascended the throne, he stood up and stood in front of the capital. With his own strength, he blocked the Pei family's [-] troops for half a year.

Now, the situation is completely different.

Yin Xuan only thought about what Zhang Tao had done in the past, but he didn't remember that Zhang Tao now, even if he watched the servants in the mansion beat each other to death, he would only laugh out loud.

After receiving the imperial decree, his parents were still worried, but Zhang Tao felt that his own time had finally arrived.

He sits in the big tent, with delicious food and wine at hand, and the beautiful concubine brought from the mansion is on his side.

Others are still worried, but Zhang Tao is full of ambition.

As soon as he came up with his clever plan, wouldn't the Qin family's army be defeated on the spot.

Even after the person who sent the letter of surrender came back and said that there was no reaction in the city, Zhang Tao just waved his hand.

In his opinion, Qin Zong has only two paths to take.Either wait to die in the city, or open the city gate, and obediently follow him back to Beijing.

Drunk, he waited and waited until the city gate opened again.

What came out was not the letter of surrender from the Qin family's army, but a menacing army like a mountain like a tiger!

……

……

The Qin family's army was divided into two groups.

Zhao Yong and Hu Yu led their troops to rescue the trapped people in the city, while Qin Zong took the lead and went straight into the enemy camp!

Swords clashed and horses neighed.No one beat the war drum, and the enemy's screams were the best sound of the drum, which aroused all the fighting spirit of the Qin family army!

This battle started from dusk to dawn, and finally Mingjin retreated.

Qin Zong's sleeves were filled with blood.He ignored it, but sat astride his horse, and pointed the long knife in his hand at Zhang Tao who was tied up by the soldiers.

Zhang Tao was terrified, tears streaming down his face, and shouted: "Qin Zong! You let me go. My father and mother are still in the city. With me, they can help you—"

In the middle of speaking, the voice stopped.

Even Qin Zong looked sideways.

Because at this moment, they heard the rumbling horseshoes from the south at the same time.

Qin Zong's complexion suddenly sank, but Zhang Tao was overjoyed.

They thought at the same time: The Qin family's army has played all their cards, and there will be no more reinforcements.On the contrary, the imperial court was still able to transfer troops from other places.

The fear on Zhang Tao's face was wiped away, he laughed wildly, and said, "Okay Qin Zong, hurry up and get off your horse and beg for mercy!" Even he knew that the Qin family's army must be exhausted after fighting all night, and it would not be the new army opponent's reasoning.

Qin Zong listened, his complexion became more and more ugly, but it would not be as he said.

He ordered "Take people away" - Zhang Tao was right, his parents would indeed be useful - and then sent an order to reorganize the army and prepare for another battle.

Until the flag on the opposite side appeared in front of Qin Zong.

Not only him, Qin Rong, Li Mingyue and others were also stunned.

"Pei? Is this Pei Huan bringing someone here? ——how could it be!"

After the sound of these words, the new army stopped in unison, and the earth shook.

Under the vigilant eyes of the Qin family army, the soldiers on the opposite side separated like a tide, and the men who led the army rode out from it.

On the battlefield, this person made an absolutely inappropriate move.

He took off his helmet and showed his face in front of Qin Jiajun.

Now, Qin Zong couldn't believe it: "Lu Qing?!"

He quickly began to recall.Under the Pei family, is there any general whose surname is Lu?
