Chapter 1171 Closed City

Chapter 1171 Closed City

Finally returning to his place of residence, the first thing he said after seeing Bai Ze was: "Notify all of us, and don't forget to drink the water in the well. From now on, you can't touch a sip."

Bai Ze was taken aback, and asked, "Master, did you find anything?"

"Someone threw something into the wells in the whole city. I don't know what it is, but the water in this well must be undrinkable. You can't eat the water, and you can't cook. You move all the food left by Ah Heng in our carriage." Come out and give everyone points, let's see the situation for a few days before we talk."

Bai Ze was shocked, all the wells in the city were thrown with something, wouldn't that mean the lives of all the people in the city? "Who is so ruthless? The entire city will have more than 300,000 people, who can live without drinking water? If they all die...then, it's too scary." He didn't dare to imagine, pressing Xuan Tianming's hand quickly He gave orders to wake everyone up, and then scrambled to move out all the food left in the carriage.

These people are usually ordinary people in Jiancheng. With Xuan Tianming's arrival, they immediately resumed their hidden identities and surrounded Xuan Tianming. They waited quietly from the beginning of the sky, until the morning light, until three roosters crowed, until the voices of early risers talking could be heard outside the yard, and then someone walked out, as if wandering, Walk around the alleys around. When he came back again, he said: "It seems that there is no difference from usual, and my subordinates also saw someone carrying water, and the old couple who brought up the well earlier boiled the water brought up from the well to make tea foam. I sold a bowl for five cents to passers-by, and I didn't get any accidents."

"Oh?" Xuan Tianming was a little surprised. Although he was relieved that the whole city hadn't been poisoned to death, there was no change at all. Such a situation made him feel a little uneasy.

"Master, do we want water?" Bai Ze asked him, "There are fourteen of us, and the food in the carriage will last us through tonight at most, and there will be nothing to eat tomorrow." The most hateful thing in this world is to cut off water, even if If there is no food, there are other things that can replace it. Only if the water is cut off, there is nothing to do. He sighed: "In Zongsui's weather, the snow can't stand up. If it's in the northern boundary of Dashun, the well water can't be used, but snow water can be used, but the snow in Zongsui is so small that it will disappear immediately when it hits the ground. It's really useless."

He said self-consciously, Xuan Tianming kept frowning, the purple lotus was in full bloom, it was obviously very beautiful, but it still made one's heart chill when looking at it. He said to everyone: "It can't be used, absolutely can't be used. It's okay now, but it doesn't mean it's okay all the time. You can't drink the well water until you find out what is poured into the well."

"Then this subordinate will arrest someone at night and come back to ask?" Bai Ze said: "Didn't the master say that there are many hidden guards on the move? The subordinate will find out when he arrests one and asks."

"You can try." Xuan Tianming said, "The hidden guards on the move, if I counted correctly, there should be twenty-seven people. If you can arrest them without disturbing others, this king will Remember your great achievement."

Bai Ze snapped his tongue, don't you startle the snake? How is that possible. Suddenly there was one person missing, and the ghost knew that something must have happened. "But if we don't catch him and ask, we'll just wait like this forever?"

"At most two days, Ah Heng should arrive." Xuan Tianming said, "Wait for her to come and see what is in the water."

Only then did Bai Ze feel relieved, right? Their princess is a miracle doctor! When the genius doctor came, he could tell at a glance whether the water was poisonous or not. Two days is just two days, what is it for a martial arts practitioner to wait for two days?

That night, none of the fourteen people slept, and they all hid in the dark in their own way and stared at the well in the yard. Just after the ugly time, I saw a man in black quickly dodge into the yard, pour a bag of white powder into the well water, and then dodge again, disappearing.

Bai Ze snapped his tongue, and he is still a guy with excellent lightness skills. If he was asked to chase, he might not be able to catch up, let alone catch one. I couldn't help but feel ashamed of the big words I said during the day, thinking in my heart, if Ban Zuo was here, his body skills should be able to compete with that person just now.

The man in black left, fourteen people including Xuan Tianming appeared in the dark, and they all surrounded the mouth of the well. Bai Ze brought up a bucket of water, and under the moonlight, he saw that the well water was not the slightest difference from usual, the white powder was poured into it and it was completely dissolved without leaving any traces.

Everyone was shocked, and they strengthened their confidence that they should never drink the water from this well.

For two nights in a row, some people put strange things into the wells of the whole city, but the people in the city still haven't heard of any signs of poisoning, and there are no suspected cases in the city's traditional Chinese medicine clinic.

However, all of this is an illusion, just when Bai Ze eagerly hoped that Feng Yuheng would come soon, they still discovered something abnormal

"Master." A hidden guard who went out to "slip" came back and reported to Xuan Tianming, "It seems something is wrong." He talked about what he saw and heard on the street just now: "When my subordinate passed a well, I saw Seeing people queuing up to carry water, one person lifted four large buckets of water in one go, and the burden was almost broken, but he didn't feel tired at all. The person who carried the water seemed to be nearly fifty years old, and he was very capable. I am old. Besides, I also saw a middle-aged man from a family chopping firewood at the door. The ax accidentally fell on his hand, and he cut off a piece of meat, but he just wiped it on his clothes twice. There was no pain at all, and even a two-year-old baby fell while running in his yard, and his jaw touched a stone, bleeding from the touch, and he didn't see the baby cry , but still got up with a smile and continued to run and jump. The subordinates felt that something was wrong."

Not only is it not right, it is simply too wrong! Xuan Tianming then asked another person who had also wandered around the city: "What did you see?"

The man thought for a while and said: "The subordinates saw that people carrying water seem to be different from the past. Although there were times when people lined up to pick books in the past, there were not many of them. Take a sip. In the severe winter right now, the water is full of ice stubble, but they don't feel cold at all, and they drink it very happily. The subordinates look at them drinking water, as if they are enjoying it, as if they are tasting the delicacy in the world , It's not like drinking the most usual ice-cold water."

"This way..." Xuan Tianming thought about it, and an unformed idea flashed through his mind, and he felt that it was too crazy and unrealistic.

He got up abruptly, startling Bai Ze, "Where is Master going?"

"Leave the city." He said as he walked, "Your concubine will definitely arrive today if there is no accident. Let's go out of the city to meet her, so that she doesn't go in without knowing it, and then enters the city and drinks the water in the city by mistake. Trouble."

He left twelve hidden guards to continue to observe the movement in the city, while he led Bai Ze to the west gate. He was a little anxious, if he guessed right, the powder thrown into the well should be something like Xiaoyao San. He is not afraid of poison, Feng Yuheng can be cured if it is poison, but if it is really something like Xiaoyao San, Feng Yuheng is also helpless. In case that girl feels thirsty to drink some tea or something after entering the city, something big will happen.

He was anxious, and his steps became faster, almost trotting. You can't ride a horse in Jiancheng, because only the rich and powerful would ride in the street, and he would be too conspicuous if he rode a horse. But even so, it still attracted the attention of many people. Among them was a group of officials patrolling the city. Seeing the hurried and unfamiliar appearance of the two, they wanted to stop and ask. He had already taken a step forward, but at this moment, for no reason, he suddenly stood down again, with a very painful expression on his face, his hands didn't know where to put them, and they kept moving Scratch across the face.

There is another person like him, also in pain, but that person is obviously more sober than him. At this time, he just saw someone passing by carrying water on the street, so he rushed over, grabbed the bucket, knelt down on the ground, and directly stuck his head in the water. Drank it inside.

That person had also reacted before, and hurried over to grab a drink of water, while Xuan Tianming led Bai Ze sprinting past while they were drinking water, and when they had drunk enough, he recovered and wanted to find the suspicious couple. The individual has long since disappeared.

It's a pity that Xuan Tianming was still a step late. When they arrived at the west city gate, they found that the city gate was firmly closed in broad daylight. Many people gathered around here waiting to leave the city, but they heard from the officials guarding the city that the past few days had been smooth. It is very dangerous to go out of the city, and the four major gates of Jiancheng will be closed. When will it be opened again, we have to wait for the notice from the magistrate.

But at this time, with the closing of the city gate, a large number of people started to wander around and talk about political affairs. Those people said that Dashun attacked Zong Sui, that Dashun had captured Bincheng, that most people in Bincheng lost their homes and were displaced, and they also said that Dashun would come to Jiancheng soon, massacre the people, rob property, let this Jiancheng becomes the next Bincheng.

The people were so angry that it was as if Dashun had dug their ancestral graves, clamoring to kill Bincheng and drive Dashun's thieves out of Zong Sui.

And during this period, there will always be people with a sudden painful expression, and there will always be people looking for water to drink everywhere. Those who have drunk the water will immediately become full of energy, as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and immediately throw themselves into the shouts of resistance against Dashun .

Crowds of people poured out from all directions of the Jiancheng city, and gradually concentrated towards the center of the city. Xuan Tianming was pushed out of the crowd and watched from a distance. He saw that Zuo Da, the prefect of Jiancheng City, was also in the crowd, shouting all kinds of things together with the people. All kinds of inspiring slogans, but those eyes are extremely bright, not as muddy and dazed as others.

He said to Bai Ze: "Looking at Zuo Da, he doesn't seem to have drunk the water in the city." After that, he looked up at the towering city wall. The sky was bright and the city gate was closed tightly. It would be very difficult for him to go out. Difficult. Fortunately, even if Feng Yuheng used the space to enter the city, he would be able to immediately discover the abnormalities in the city, and would contact him as soon as possible. He prayed in his heart that even if the girl was thirsty, she would drink the water in her own space. This water source for building the city must never be touched.

At that time, Feng Yuheng was on the way to Jiancheng with a dark face...
