I am the villain in the book

It's a recurrence of the Puppet Pill's poison.

This was Yang Liu Shi's first guess, and the only possibility she thought likely.

You should know that although there are some poisons in the world that can kill martial artists above the third rank, no one has ever heard of any that can kill someone within three breaths.

For example, the "Half Moon" of "Poison Mosquitoes" she had previously obtained from Huangfeng Valley.

This poison can kill third-rank martial artists, but it requires a very large dose and takes a long time.

And among all the poisons in the world, "Half Moon" is already considered a very rare top-level poison.

Therefore, the toxicity of the poison that the three deputy generals suffered from undoubtedly reached a level that "should not exist."

And this is only one aspect.

Another aspect is the incredible "trigger mechanism" of this poison.

Under normal circumstances, most poisons used to control others are Gu poisons.

These types of poisons require regular doses of antidote, otherwise, the poison will take effect, so the person who controls the antidote can complete the control of the person who took the poison.

But obviously, what these three deputy generals suffered from was not Gu poison, but a kind of poison that could be triggered by "spiritual entanglement."

Combining the above two aspects of analysis, besides the Puppet Pill that Wei Changtian mentioned, Yang Liu Shi really couldn't think of any other possibility.

Then the question arises.

Why was Du Chang clearly given the Puppet Pill, but nothing happened after his betrayal?

Why were these three deputy generals also given the Puppet Pill, but their death by poisoning was due to betraying Du Chang, and not Wei Changtian?

This undoubtedly shows that there is more than one person in the world who possesses the Puppet Pill besides Wei Changtian.

And that other person, or that force, must be the one Du Chang is truly loyal to.

The cold wind was biting, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

Ignoring the blood stains on her body, Yang Liu Shi stood in front of the three corpses and pondered for a long time, until Wang Kang's voice sounded beside her.

"Madam, what should we do next?"

Coming back to her senses from her thoughts, Yang Liu Shi turned her head and glanced at Wang Kang, her expression a little complicated.

That's right, the news that Du Chang had rebelled was what Chu Xianping had entrusted the latter to tell her.

Now that Du Chang's betrayal has been confirmed to be true, then Chu Xianping hasn't rebelled?

That's not right either .

If Chu Xianping had really noticed Du Chang's strangeness long ago, then he should have told the young master long ago.

Could it be a fake rebellion?

But what is the point of acting out such a scene?

Even for the sake of being more realistic, Chu Xianping didn't need to deceive even the young master.

Her thoughts were a little confused, Yang Liu Shi thought for a while and then stopped thinking about it, and said to Wang Kang:

"I will tell the young master about this, you don't have to worry about it."

"First drag the bodies of these three people out and look for any tokens on them."

"Order all officers above the rank of captain in the army to come here to see me immediately."

"Tell the soldiers in the army that General Du and the three deputy generals have other important tasks and have left the camp just now."

"Everything remains the same, continue marching west one hour after breaking camp."

"Do you understand?"

Her voice as usual, Yang Liu Shi issued several orders in a row while looking at Wang Kang.

However, Wang Kang's expression was a little surprised after hearing this.

The four generals in the army have all rebelled. Such a major event has occurred, but Yang Liu Shi still wants the army to continue marching west according to the original plan.

Wang Kang understood that Yang Liu Shi didn't want to delay the battle opportunity, but the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and the army cannot be without a general for a day. Such rashness at this time always has no small hidden dangers.

With some hesitation in his heart, he did not respond immediately.

Yang Liu Shi on the opposite side seemed to have guessed his worries, so she paused slightly, and then said calmly:

"From this moment on, I will take over all matters of the Tiangou Army."

"Do you understand this time?"

" . "

Dark clouds covered the moon, and her long skirt was stained with blood.

Looking at Yang Liu Shi whose expression was calm, Wang Kang actually felt a calm temperament from the latter that only veteran generals who had experienced many battles possessed.

"Reporting to Madam, this subordinate understands!"

Standing up straight with a "噌" sound, he no longer hesitated, and immediately replied loudly: "This subordinate will issue the order! From this moment on, Madam will temporarily take charge of all matters of the army!"

"Okay, go."

Nodding, Yang Liu Shi walked to the side of a grand master's chair that was still intact and sat down, waiting for the middle-level officers in the army to come and see her.

However, as if she had remembered something, she suddenly stopped Wang Kang, who had already walked to the door, a few breaths later, and said silently:

"By the way, help me send a message to Chu Xianping."

"Just say thank you for his reminder about Du Chang's matter, and I hope he can give me, or the young master, a definite answer."

" . "

A definite answer.

Yang Liu Shi didn't say what this "definite answer" was about, but Chu Xianping must understand.

However, after hearing this, Wang Kang did not agree to help her send the message, but turned around and replied in a deep voice:

"Madam, the young master had previously expected that you would definitely ask this."

"He has told this subordinate that if you really ask, then answer you like this"

"Everything will come to light in five days."

" . "

In this way, the matter of Du Chang's rebellion came to a temporary end.

One hour later, the Tiangou Army really continued to break camp and head west, rushing to Fengyuan according to the original plan.

And Yang Liu Shi, who had temporarily taken over the position of commander, also sent a message to Wei Changtian, telling him everything that happened tonight.

As for the latter's reaction to this .

"What the hell? ? ?"

"Are you kidding me? ? ?"

"Everyone wants to stab me in the back? ? ?"

Fengyuan Imperial Palace, in a certain hall, when Wei Changtian finished reading the newly "translated" secret letter for the first time, his mouth was so big that he couldn't help but stuff a fist into it.

Obviously, he never expected that Du Chang would rebel.

What he didn't expect even more was that Yang Liu Shi had discovered this matter after Chu Xianping's reminder.

What does that mean?

Chu Xianping didn't actually rebel? Everything was just to trick Du Chang, the Kuilong spy, out of Lu Hongji's hands? ? ?

Without a doubt, Wei Changtian possessed more information than Yang Liu Shi, so his judgment on the entire incident was also clearer.

But it was precisely because of this that he would have such a reaction.

Because based on the current situation, his previous analysis was actually wrong!

Lao Zhangtou's whereabouts were not leaked by Chu Xianping, but by Du Chang!

Du Chang was originally Lu Hongji's man, a member of Kuilong!

It is estimated that Lu Hongji had already set his sights on Lao Zhangtou and the Tiaoyue Sword, or noticed the "Yanluo case" in Dafeng at that time, so he ordered Du Chang to pretend to be a horse bandit to approach him in order to explore the secret of the Tiaoyue Sword!

No wonder he only took one night to bring back all the assassins who assassinated Lao Zhangtou in the Ximo Gobi when he asked Du Chang to investigate them!

He thought that Du Chang was capable at that time, but now that he thinks about it, Kuilong must have helped him from behind!

Good fellow, he hid it deep enough!

"Damn it . "

Clenching the letter tightly, Wei Changtian became angry when he thought that he had been deceived for almost two years.

To be honest, his previous trust in Du Chang was no less than that in Liang Zhen, and Tang Chen never investigated Du Chang in several "purges of spies."

Now that he thinks about it, if he had asked Tang Chen to treat everyone equally and thoroughly investigate everyone, regardless of distance or closeness, perhaps Du Chang would have been exposed long ago.

Alas, it was still because he trusted the Puppet Pill too much, which made him . Hmm?

Suddenly, when he thought of the Puppet Pill, Wei Changtian realized another problem.

How did Du Chang unlock the Puppet Pill?

And what about those three deputy generals? ? ?

Unlike Yang Liu Shi, Wei Changtian didn't dwell on this matter for too long, and soon had a guess.

Or rather, the answer was already obvious.

Du Chang can unlock the pill poison, but he also has the aura of the Puppet Pill on his body, which undoubtedly shows that he has taken another Puppet Pill that is not loyal to him.

The same goes for those three deputy generals.

The four of them must have taken the second Puppet Pill, and the object of their loyalty must be the person behind Du Chang - Lu Hongji.

And in this way, it means that Kuilong also has the Puppet Pill.

"Alas"

Sighing helplessly, Wei Changtian was not actually surprised by this.

After all, many items in the system are not "exclusive."

Qingjue Jade Pendant, True Dragon Forehead Scale, Eclipse Pearl . and so on, there are "same models" in the real world, and Wei Changtian even often uses the system as a "鉴定器" to identify the value of the treasures he has obtained.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that Kuilong, such a mysterious organization, has the Puppet Pill.

It is even possible that someone will take out a "Divine Strike Talisman" in the future.

Taking out a small wooden box from his arms, Wei Changtian rubbed his forehead depressedly, looking at the black pill inside.

In fact, all of the above are okay.

Although Du Chang rebelled, he was exposed early, and the Tiangou Army was not in trouble.

As for the Tiaoyue Sword Manual that has fallen into Lu Hongji's hands, it has already passed, and it is useless to regret it now.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is Chu Xianping.

Everything will come to light in five days.

What exactly will happen?

Wei Changtian frowned and thought hard, but he couldn't figure out why after thinking for a long time.

And just as this night was about to pass, and a ray of dawn had already appeared outside the window, the Zimu Jade in his arms became hot again, bringing another heavy news.

A quarter of an hour ago, Du Chang's life tablet stored in the Ministry of War of Da Shu .

Shattered.
