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

Chapter 89: Get up quickly and lie down waiting for me to come into you?

Qin Mo and Lu Pheasant found fishing nets and dismantled them, and the ropes they obtained were used to tie everyone up.

After Zhang Liang and the swordsmen on the deck were tied behind their backs one by one, Qin Mo asked Lu Pheasant to give everyone water to induce vomiting, while he held up his shield, set up his iron sword, and entered the cabin to search for the remaining swordsmen.

The swordsmen who had not left the cabin were all those with poor resistance to poison, and they had already vomited blood and fell into coma!

Every time Qin Mo found one, he dragged it to the deck and asked Lu Pheasant to fill their stomachs with water first. At the same time, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What kind of poison did you use? Why is it so poisonous!"

Lu Pheasant replied sarcastically: "Gelsemium elegans."

Qin Mo grinned, glanced at Zhang Liang and others in shame, and continued to enter the cabin to rescue people.

The so-called Gelsemium is probably the famous Gelsemium gallica. Legend has it that Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs and finally fell on the Gelsemium gallica and died.

The well-known story of heartbroken grass is that Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu used it to fight poison with poison and eliminate the poison of love flowers...

The most important thing is that this stuff is fatal to humans, but when used on animals, the toxicity will be greatly weakened. People in Chu even mix it in feed and use it to feed poultry and livestock in small amounts.

When Qin Mo fought in Chu, he also used it to feed his army's war horses, which could reduce morbidity and mortality and promote appetite growth.

Therefore, the fat mouse was able to eat a big steamed bun before becoming poisonous. Perhaps it was not because the steamed bun was weak in poison, but because it had a certain resistance to the poison.

Rounding it all off, if someone else had eaten it, it would have been quite chewy enough to withstand!

"Brother Jiang, hold on..."

Qin Mo once again found a fainting swordsman from the cabin and dragged him to the bow deck.

However, before Qin Mo could drag him out of the cabin, the blade of an iron sword suddenly thrust out from the gap in the bulkhead next to him.

Click——

The tip of the sword pierced the shield of Qin Mo's left hand and almost penetrated the wood.

With such force, the opponent was obviously not poisoned!

Qin Mo immediately put down the clothes of the fainting swordsman. At the same time, he tilted his shield against the opponent's sword that he had no time to retract, and violently pressed it to one side.

bite--

After a crisp sound, the sword was broken by force.

At the same time, Qin Mo put down the fainting swordsman's right hand and drew his sword and stabbed it back along the gap.

puff--

The sound of a sharp knife entering flesh sounded in the next cabin, followed by a muffled groan of pain.

But it was obvious that there was more than one person on the other side. While the two were fighting across the bulkhead, the sound of chaotic footsteps could already be heard outside the cabin where Qin Mo was.

Immediately, three swordsmen appeared. Two of them rushed into the cabin with swords to block Qin Mo's escape route. One of them stood behind with a bow and arrows to shoot at Qin Mo!

Qin Mo held up his shield to block the arrows, like a wild boar, he charged directly with the shield and knocked the two swordsmen who entered the cabin out of the cabin door.

The three swordsmen were all retainers of Lord Hengyang and had never really experienced Qin Mo's close combat skills, so they suffered a big loss when they first met.

The two swordsmen who were knocked out felt that their bones were almost falling apart from the impact. They almost flew out upside down and collided with their bow-wielding companions behind them. It was such an embarrassing situation!

Qin Mo's momentum remained unabated, and he hit the three embarrassed men again with his shield, knocking them to the ground completely.

The iron sword in his hand was swung, and it slashed down fiercely on the necks of the three people who had been knocked down!

call--

The three ugly men didn't even have time to see Qin Mo's movements clearly before they heard the terrifying sound of the sword cutting through the air.

With such a powerful and heavy sword strike, three heads took off instantly!

The three of them were horrified that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, but the expected pain never came.

[Is there no pain after being beheaded?]

The three of them thought so in their hearts, but they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Of course it would be best if it didn't hurt.

"Asking for trouble..."

Qin Mo cursed and used the blade of his sword to wake up the three people who were waiting for death: "Get up quickly, lie down and wait for me to enter you?!"

With that said, he quickly walked to the cabin next to him to check on the swordsman who was stabbed by him.

The three of them opened their eyes in shock and looked at each other for a moment. Then they endured the feeling that their whole bodies were falling apart, stood up dejectedly, and went to pick up their weapons.

"You still dare to use weapons? Do you really think I'm a bad guy?"

Qin Mo dragged a swordsman whose shoulder was stabbed out of the cabin next to him and scolded the three people who were picking up weapons.

The three of them shrank their necks and had no choice but to put down their weapons angrily. They even threw away the quiver of hand-relieving knives on their bodies under Qin Mo's gaze.

Very well-behaved!

Qin Mo's expression softened slightly, and he handed the injured swordsman to them, then pointed at the fainted swordsman in the previous cabin, and ordered: "Carry everyone in the cabin out for treatment, look carefully, and don't leave any behind!"

The three of them nodded silently and started busy.

Qin Mo saw that they were really well-behaved, so he stopped talking nonsense and went to collect the weapons of everyone on the ship and hide them in a cabin to prevent everyone from having inappropriate thoughts again.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Mo found his bright silver battle armor and Bailian iron sword in the cabin where Zhang Liang lived.

He put on his battle armor, put a big iron sword on his waist, and put a bow and a bag of arrows on his back. When he reappeared on the deck, everyone who was undergoing gastric lavage treatment was completely in despair!

Qin Mo was fully armed and confident. He returned to the cabin where he was previously imprisoned, released Kui Ye, and helped wash everyone's stomachs.

Those with milder poisoning have already recovered and are no longer whining and whining.

However, those who vomited blood and fell into coma did not improve even after their stomachs were washed, and were still unconscious.

Qin Mo vaguely remembered that the poison of Gelsemium can be alleviated by instilling the blood of poultry and livestock, so he said to Lu Pheasant: "I heard a Chu doctor said that the poison of Gelsemium can be relieved by instilling the blood of poultry and livestock. It's true."

Fake?"

Lu Pheasant was stunned for a moment, then said in confusion: "I only know that Gelsemium elegans is highly poisonous, but I don't know how to relieve it."

Zhang Liang, who had calmed down, heard the conversation between the two and hurriedly continued: "Jun... Junhou, not all poultry and livestock can relieve Gelsemium poison. Only goose blood, duck blood, and sheep blood can relieve the poison."

Can."

His half-baked medical skills came in handy at this time.

Qin Mo suddenly nodded and turned to Kui: "Brother Kui, sail to the shore and hunt some wild ducks, geese, and sheep to detoxify the unconscious people."

"Here."

Kui bowed his hands and responded, leading the three retainers of Lord Hengyang to raise the hard sail together, adjust the angle to receive the wind, and sail towards the coastline where only a black line could be seen.

However, as the four people raised the hard sail and adjusted the angle to receive the wind, they found that the speed was horribly slow, less than half of the previous time.

The strange thing is that the sea breeze is not too strong today!

"No, the hull must be leaking..."

A poisoned swordsman who was originally responsible for driving the ship suddenly cried out anxiously and said to Qin Mo: "Your Majesty, please take a look to see if there is any water in the bottom cabin."

Qin Mo did not dare to neglect, and immediately opened the bottom cabin of the bow and looked down.

And when he saw it, he couldn't help but grin in shock.

There was indeed water in the bottom tank, and the food and fresh water stored in it were already submerged!

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, then seemed to remember something, and quickly ran to the side of the ship and looked into the sea.

The retainers of Lord Hengyang who were previously pushed into the sea by him with their shields drowned because they were hung up by cables, but were only washed behind the ship by the current.

At this time, the guy had a cable tied around his waist and was stabbing the butt of the boat with a knife. He had already dug several holes in the wooden hull!

"Grandma is a coward..."

Qin Mo cursed bitterly, pulled him back to the bow of the boat by the cable, and put him on board. He slapped his ears with two big blows with his hands: "Do you want to kill everyone?"

Everyone on the boat suddenly realized, and then they also cursed angrily: "Han Kan... you are a dog... how can you be so vicious?!"

The retainer of Lord Hengyang named Han Kan was beaten with a blow on both ears by Qin Mo until his mouth and nose were bleeding. He was about to curse a few times and would rather die than surrender, but he heard everyone yelling and scolding him, and he couldn't help being stunned.

After he was knocked off the boat by Qin Mo, he had been told by Qin Mo to drink seawater to wash his stomach and detoxify.

But out of hatred for Qin Mo, he didn't believe it and didn't take any action.

Moreover, he was washed behind the ship by the current and had no idea what was happening on the bow deck. He probably thought that everyone was poisoned and would not survive, so he stabbed and dug into the hull of the ship with a knife.

This is also due to his strong resistance to poison. When everyone else is unable to move, he is the only one who can swing his sword to attack Qin Mo, which is normal.

However, his tenacious vitality was about to kill a whole boat of people!

"I, I thought that none of you could survive, so I wanted to die with him..."

Han Kan explained awkwardly, already realizing that he had done something stupid.

Qin Moxuan was not laughed out of anger, so he threw him on the deck and ignored him. He turned to Kui and the three retainers of Hengyang Lord and said: "Quickly get down to the bottom of the cabin and use wooden boards to plug the leaks."

"Here."

The four people hurriedly agreed, went back to the cabin to find wooden boards, took axes to cut nails, and jumped into the water-filled bottom cabin.

Qin Mo looked at Zhang Liang and others who were still awake, and said helplessly: "I will cut off the bonds for you guys, and go down and scoop out the water, otherwise we will have to swim back to the shore."

After saying that, he pulled out the big iron sword from his waist and cut the ropes on everyone's body one by one.

Zhang Liang and others also knew the importance. Although they were still weak in their methods, they did not dare to neglect. They found pots, bowls, and basins, and divided their labors to scoop out water.

If a wooden boat has a hole, even if it can be plugged, it will continue to leak.

Even professional shipwrights, if they want to truly repair the leaks, can only drag the ship ashore, replace the damaged ship planks, and then re-caulk the seams to dry.

Now it depends on how quickly everyone scoops up water and whether they can catch up with the speed of the leak. Otherwise, even if the people who are awake can swim back to the shore holding the board... But the few people who are unconscious are really doomed!

Qin Mo saw that everyone was working together in an orderly manner, so he didn't look any further. He went back to the cabin and took out all the beds he could find, tied them together with ropes, and pushed them into the sea to float.

Then, they split the cabin, took off the wooden boards, and nailed them together with the bed to make a simple large raft...

Zhang Liang and others kept scooping water, while Qin Mo and Lu Zhi made the raft bigger and bigger. In the end, it seemed as if the cabin building was completely demolished, and even most of the deck was dismantled, all of which was used to splice the raft together.

There was only room for the unconscious people on the ship and a bare mast!

…

Facts have proved that Qin Mo was right to take precautions.

Zhang Liang and others were slow in their actions and did not have the tools to scoop out the water, so the speed at which they scooped out the water could not keep up with the leakage.

The fishing boat was still several miles away from the coast, and the large amount of water leaking into the cabin was already threatening to sink the boat!

In desperation, everyone had to abandon the ship, move the unconscious people to the big raft, and try their best to salvage some useful things.

Although the big raft could not carry everyone, everyone held onto the raft and swam in the sea water. There were also a few strong people who paddled on it, and finally they managed to reach the shore smoothly.

"Huh, I'm so exhausted..."

Kui rowed all the way with three retainers of Lord Hengyang, and after landing on the shore, he collapsed on the ground and screamed in agony, his arms almost shaking like chicken claws.

Qin Mo still had some strength left, so he picked up his bow and said, "I'll go around and see if I can hunt some wild geese, ducks, and sheep to detoxify the unconscious people."

He was answered with gasps, but Zhang Liang weakly told him: "This place is probably the junction of Minyue and Liyue, please be careful."

Qin Mo nodded clearly and searched for the depths of the land.

But at this moment, Lu Pheasant suddenly stood up, held up his sword and caught up with him, saying, "I will go with you."

Now everyone knows that she was the one who poisoned the big steamed bun, and she doesn't dare to stay alone with everyone.

Qin Mo knew what she was thinking and motioned for her to follow closely to avoid being hurt by snakes, insects and wild beasts.

…

Compared with the territory of Daqin, this is a truly wild land, with jungles and hills everywhere, and wild animals can be seen everywhere.

The two of them didn't go far when they encountered a herd of wild elephants.

Qin Mo and Lu Pheasant followed the elephant herd and found a clear fresh water source. Many herbivores were drinking and resting by the water, but no wild sheep were seen.

However, there is a group of geese on the water, which look like swans...

"I don't know if it's a swan... It's not too much to use you to save people. If you are reincarnated in the next life, you won't fall into the state of beasts..."

Qin Mo muttered, took out the arrows from the quiver, pulled out the arrows one by one, and inserted them on the ground in front of him.

Once the blood of birds such as chickens, ducks and geese actually dies, it will coagulate very quickly, making it impossible to control it.

Therefore, if you want to inject blood and detoxify the unconscious people, it is best to capture them alive and bring them back!

"Hiss...hoo..."

Qin Mo took a deep breath, then held his breath and concentrated, shooting the headless feather arrow inserted on the ground in front of him in one breath.

Boo hoo hoo——

Several headless feather arrows were fired at the flocks of geese in the water.

Any goose that was hit by a headless feather arrow would scream and flutter wildly, and some were even killed by the headless feather arrow and knocked unconscious, turning their bellies upside down on the spot and floating on the water.

The remaining geese were frightened, screamed strangely, and flew away with fluttering wings.

Other animals drinking water around were also frightened and ran away.

The area near the water source quickly became deserted, except for the large geese on the water that had been shot by arrows and lost the ability to move.

"Are you... gods?"

Qin Mo put away his strong bow and was about to go into the water with Lu Pheasant to catch the goose. A hesitant and surprised voice suddenly sounded from the bushes on the side of the water source.

That questioning voice was not in Da Qin language!

However, Qin Mo understood it, because in his early years when he conquered Chu, he also conquered the Zhejiang and Fujian territories bordering Chu and incorporated them into the territory of Qin, so he learned the local Yue language.

Qin Mo quickly pulled out a complete arrow from his quiver, drew the bow and aimed at the bush where the sound came from, and shouted: "Come out!"

As he shouted, four young and strong men emerged from behind the bushes. They all had disheveled hair, indigo tattoos on their faces, bronze daggers on their waists, and hunting bows in their hands.

It is undoubtedly the Yue people!
