Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me for corruption

Chapter 88 You actually let me take the blame? You can imagine it!

Qin Mo used the half-asleep and half-awake skills that he had developed when he was a reconnaissance knight. While recharging his energy, he listened to all the movements inside and outside the cabin.

Outside the cabin, Kui sat cross-legged and leaned against the bulkhead, dozing off, lowering his head from time to time to take a nap.

In the cabin, Lu Zhi lay on the bed on the other side of the cabin, turning over and turning over from time to time, unable to sleep.

However, what attracted Qin Moerli the most was the fact that a mouse seemed to have come under his bed and was gnawing at the big steamed bun that had been stuffed under it, making a small sound.

"The little guy is looking for death~!"

Qin Mo cursed secretly and didn't bother to drive it away.

However, if he didn't drive it away, the rat would eat more and more energetically, and after more than half an hour of searching, it finally stopped.

"I finally got over it, but my vitality is still strong..."

Qin Mo murmured softly, but then he was stunned and quickly looked under the bed.

Under the bed was indeed a fat, big rat. It was already burping and catching cold, and most of the big steamed bun had been eaten, leaving only the outer skin.

Qin Mo looked at this scene and thought for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips!

…

The night passed quickly, and gradually the early morning light passed through the gap in the door and shone into the cabin.

Dang Dang Dang——

There was a sudden knock on the cabin door. Lu Zhi, who had fallen asleep at some point, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up when he heard the sound.

Then, he subconsciously jumped to the bed on the other side of the cabin, grabbed Qin Mo's arms tightly with both hands, and almost got into his arms.

Qin Mo pushed her away expressionlessly and said in a hoarse voice to the door: "Brother Kui, what's the matter?"

Kui stopped knocking on the door and replied: "It's daybreak, Lord, it's time to cook breakfast for the brothers..."

"There seems to be something wrong with the Lord's voice, but you were too tired after working at the banquet yesterday?"

There was concern in Kui's voice, and then there was the sound of the chains being untied.

Qin Mo rubbed his face hard until it turned red, then wiped some dust off the bulkhead, smeared it on his lips, and quickly put on his 'sick makeup'.

Seeing him like this, Lu Pheasant next to him trembled slightly.

She knew that Qin Mo was executing the plan she made yesterday. When Kui saw Qin Mo's sick appearance later, he would definitely let him continue to rest and recuperate.

Most of the swordsmen's breakfast would be replaced by last night's steamed buns, and then the entire ship would be poisoned...

Hula——

The cabin door finally opened, Lu Pheasant's delicate body was shaken, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Kui walked in and saw that one of the two people's faces were red and the other white, both of them looked like they were seriously ill. He couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Why is it so serious?"

Qin Mo explained hoarsely: "Maybe he caught the wind and cold."

Lu Pheasant's delicate body trembled again, and he suddenly grabbed Qin Mo's arm again, shaking his head desperately to signal him to stop his plan.

Seeing her acting strangely, Kui didn't know what she was thinking about, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss Lu. The master of the house collected a lot of herbs when we went ashore the last few times. You won't lose your life."

"You and the Lord will rest for now. I will inform the head of the family and ask him to diagnose, treat and prepare medicine for you!"

Qin Mo clasped his hands in gratitude: "Thank you very much, thank you very much."

Kui exited and closed the cabin door without locking the chain, and the footsteps quickly faded away.

Lu Pheasant's pretty face became even paler, with almost no blood, and he said urgently: "Junhou, I... let's stop the plan... Neither Kui nor Zhang Jun are bad people..."

Qin Mo frowned and looked at her. Gradually, a strange expression appeared on his face that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. He said, "It's too late to stop planning now."

"The big steamed buns I gave away yesterday are still in everyone's hands. If anyone eats them as snacks and dies of poison, both of us will be involved!"

Lu Zhi was speechless for a moment, let go of Qin Mo slumped, and collapsed on the ground.

Ever since she kneaded the noodles with poisonous water yesterday, everything has become irreversible. Unless she goes to Zhang Liang now and confesses that the steamed buns are poisonous, the plan cannot be stopped.

But the consequences of voluntarily confessing will probably not be good.

Thinking at the best, Zhang Liang might find a remote coast, throw her ashore and let her die. But this is the southern sea, and the people living on the shore are all Baiyue tribes...

Thinking at the worst, maybe killing her directly is also possible!

"Jun...junhou, can you help the pheasant fight this time?"

After Lu Zhi was stunned for a moment, he grabbed Qin Mo's arm again and begged: "Zhang Jun admires the prince very much. Yesterday, he was trying to persuade the prince not to poison others."

"The Lord pretended to be remorseful and confessed that the steamed bun was poisonous. I'm sure Zhang Jun won't blame him!"

Qin Mo: "..."

You actually let me take the blame?

I'm sorry you can figure it out!

However, this is indeed the truth. If he takes the blame, Zhang Liang will at most not let him worry about food in the future.

You may even admire his character even more, which is unknown!

Qin Mo couldn't laugh or cry and consoled him: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about the following things. I know what's going on."

After all, Lu Pheasant was different from him. It was extremely rare that he could achieve this step.

After all, he was injured by the giant crocodile and then rescued by Zhang Liang. Although he killed the giant crocodile at that time, he saved Zhang Liang's life... But no matter what, the two of them owe each other's lives, no matter what

Harming the other party is out of righteousness.

However, Lu Pheasant was kidnapped by force on board the ship. To her, Zhang Liang and others were just robbers and bandits, but they only did not abuse her.

If you think about it from his perspective, if Qin Mo were her and poisoned Zhang Liang and others, even if she felt burdened in her heart, she would not be unable to do so!

…

Later, Kui led Zhang Liang back, along with other swordsmen, including Lord Hengyang's retainers.

Zhang Liang knew some Qihuang techniques and entered the cabin to treat the two men, while the swordsmen gathered around the door and waited with bated breath.

"Well, I don't have wind-cold fever. I think I'm just overworked. Just decoct some herbs that can replenish qi and blood."

Zhang Liang was obviously a dabbler, and he didn't notice that the two of them were pretending to be sick.

When the swordsmen outside the door heard this, they dispersed and stopped watching.

When Lord Hengyang's retainers were leaving, they did not forget to say: "If you get cold, you'd better get off the boat as soon as possible to avoid infecting us."

In the pre-Qin era when the medical system was not perfect, wind-cold was indeed a type of terminal disease. Whether it could be cured or not depended on God's will.

…

Zhang Liang went to the bow of the ship to prepare medicine for the two of them, while Kui stayed behind to look after them.

Qin Mo was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, but he was counting the time in his heart.

In the past few days, he and Lu Pheasant had gotten up at dawn, cooked breakfast for everyone, and had dinner on time at three o'clock in the morning.

And it’s easy for people to form habits!

Isn't there an experiment in later generations? Animals are fed at a fixed time every day. After the animals develop a habit, even if there is no food, as soon as the time comes, the animals will think that it is time to eat.

Nowadays, everyone on the boat has probably developed the habit of having breakfast at three o'clock in the morning!

The big steamed buns given to them last night were undoubtedly the best breakfast!

"Junhou, you...are you really planning to poison everyone?"

Seeing that he had no intention of taking the blame, Lu Fei couldn't guess what his plan was. He glanced sideways at Kui outside the cabin, then approached Qin Mo and asked tremblingly.

Qin Mo smiled and said nothing, but pointed under his bed.

Lu Zhi lowered his head and bent down to look under the bed, but immediately he almost screamed out of fright and quickly covered his lips.

Apparently, she is the kind of woman who is afraid of mice!

Lu Zhi suppressed his discomfort and took a closer look at the fat dead rat and the big steamed bun with only the skin left.

She is an extremely smart woman, so after being confused for a moment, she came to a clear understanding.

No matter how fat a mouse is, it is still just a mouse, and its size is still far behind that of a human being.

But this mouse ate a big steamed bun until only the skin was left, and then died from the poison!

Therefore, the toxin in the big steamed bun can almost kill a mouse, and it may still be a bit rich.

But can it poison larger people?

I'm afraid, not possible!

As for whether there is one with poor resistance to toxicity... Qin Mo can only say that he is unlucky!

"Brother Jiang? Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you...uh, I also have some in my belly..."

At this time, faint screams and screams of pain suddenly came from all over the fishing boat. Qin Mo's ears were very strong. Hearing the sound, he couldn't help being shocked. He turned to Lu Pheasant and said: "Everyone has been poisoned."

Lu Pheasant didn't have his hearing and didn't hear the screams of pain, but he didn't doubt his words and asked nervously: "What can I do?"

Qin Mo turned over and sat up, lifted up the wooden board of the bed, clicked it a few times, and broke it into half a person's height and slightly wider than his shoulders.

Then, wrap the folded wooden board on the quilt, tie it three times, five times and two times, and use the remaining knots as a shield.

Finally, he picked up the fat dead rat and threw it at Lu Pheasant.

"Yeah~!"

Lu Pheasant was so startled that he ducked away and screamed.

Kui, who was outside the door, had already left to check after hearing his companions' screams of pain. Suddenly, he heard Lu Pheasant's voice and hurriedly ran back.

"What's wrong? Why are you shouting like this?"

Kui rushed into the cabin and asked Lu Fei helplessly, but then he was stunned and asked again: "Where is the prince?"

Lu Fei curled his lips and pointed behind Kui.

Kui was stunned again, and then he seemed to understand something. His expression suddenly changed, but before he could make any move, he suddenly felt a pain in the back of his neck and immediately lost consciousness.

Bang——

Kui straightened up and fell down on the board of the boat, with his face on the ground.

Qin Mo grinned and hurriedly checked his breathing, and then breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure he was not dead.

Knocking someone unconscious with a knife requires a lot of skill. Qin Mo used to be a detective cavalry warrior and scratch his tongue, and he often killed people by mistake!

"Tie him up and cover his mouth first."

Qin Mo tore open Lu Fei's quilt, and the two of them worked together to form a rope and quickly tied Kui behind her back.

Kui let the two of them struggle, and when they were halfway through the binding, they really began to wake up, but because they had been covered first, they could only stare and moan.

Qin Mo picked up his sword with one hand and an earthen shield with the other. He stood up and said consolingly: "I don't want to harm brother Kui. I just want to fight for my freedom. Please don't make things difficult for me, brother Kui!"

"Woooo..."

Kui stopped struggling, only whimpering still came out of his mouth.

Qin Mo understood what he meant and said with a smile: "Everyone on this boat gets along with me day and night, and they are very harmonious."

"Even Han Chengzhi, Lord Hengyang's retainer, has a sharp mouth and a soft heart. Of course I will not harm him!"

Kui let out a sigh from his nose and honestly stopped sobbing.

Qin Mo turned to look at Lu Pheasant and said, "You and Brother Kui stay here. After I go out, I will lock the cabin door and no one can open it except me."

Although he has a shield and an iron sword at this time, he is still shackled on his hands and feet, and his movements are not agile. It is not certain that he can fight against the poisoned people.

Lu Pheasant picked up the scabbard to defend himself, shook his head and said: "I will follow Junhou. Let's go to the bow of the ship first. There is an ax and chisel there. I can help Junhou remove the shackles."

Qin Mo nodded, said nothing, held an earthen shield in one hand and an iron sword in the other, and quickly walked out of the cabin.

Lu Zhi held the scabbard of his sword in both hands and followed closely behind.

However, before the two of them took a few steps, they met Zhang Liang, who was stumbling on his feet.

"Isn't good enough to be sincere to the king?"

"Don't you treat your king well enough?"

"Why do you want to poison us?"

Zhang Liang covered his stomach with one hand, drew his sword with the other and pointed it at Qin Mo angrily, gritting his teeth and saying bitterly.

Bang——

Qin Mo stepped forward with quick steps, knocked him over with a shield, and said casually: "No matter how good you wait for me, you will eventually imprison me, and I don't want to be a prisoner!"

"Don't worry, the poison shouldn't kill you. Just lie down and I'll wash your stomach later..."

With that said, he passed over Zhang Liang who was on the ground and continued to move quickly towards the deck.

Zhang Liang was like an overturned turtle, unable to get up, but the hatred on his face had dissipated a lot, leaving only a deep sense of helplessness.

When Lu Pheasant passed by him, he picked up his sword and replaced the scabbard for self-defense.

The two of them met no one else along the way and arrived on the bow deck smoothly. Lu Zhi found an ax and chisel from the bottom of the cabin and began to help Qin Mo remove the shackles on his hands and feet.

Qin Mo faced the direction of the cabin, always on guard.

Perhaps because they heard the clanging sound of chopping and chiseling, embarrassment of swordsmen began to pour out of each cabin.

Seeing that it was Qin Mo who was removing the shackles, he staggered over and rushed to stop him.

thump--

thump--

thump--

Before most of the swordsmen could reach Qin Mo, they fell down and couldn't get up, and some even vomited blood from their mouths.

Qin Mo frowned secretly and scolded: "I don't want to harm my brothers. Don't use any more strength to prevent the poison from spreading too quickly."

"As soon as I remove the shackles, I will immediately perform gastric lavage and detoxification for my brothers..."

Before Qin Mo could finish his words, a retainer of Lord Hengyang stumbled forward, brandished his sword and roared: "Despicable villain, who wants you to pity me and suffer death!"

Qin Mo waved his shield and knocked away the sword that was stabbed slowly by the retainer of Lord Hengyang.

At this moment, Lu Pheasant also cut off the shackles on his feet.

Qin Mo used his shield to hold the retainer of Lord Hengyang, pushed him directly into the sea, and then threw a cable down: "Tie it to yourself, calm down in the sea first, drink more sea water, induce vomiting, and wash yourself.

Gastric lavage.”

The retainer of Lord Hengyang lost his temper completely and had no choice but to grab the life-saving rope and tie it around his waist with difficulty.

Qin Mo ignored him and continued to let Lu Fei remove the shackles on his hands.

The remaining swordsmen saw that Qin Mo really didn't want to harm them, and they really didn't have the strength to stop him, so they lay on the board of the boat and moaned.

Ding ding——

clang--

Lu Fei helped Qin Mo cut off the shackles on his hands with ease.

Qin Mo's hands and feet were freed, and his whole body felt light, not only physically, but also mentally.

At this moment, even the swordsmen on the boat were all on the spot with full health, and he was not afraid!

"Find a rope, tie them all up, and then give them water to induce vomiting. Repeat this several times to detoxify them."

Qin Mo gave Lu Pheasant an instruction, and then said to the whining swordsmen: "Lv Xiaoniang and I will detoxify the brothers. I hope you will stay calm, otherwise the poison will spread to the heart. Even if you can detoxify,

The root of the disease will also fall in the future!"
