Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm-Chapter 1708 - 1707: What is the Little Gift?
Chapter 1708: Chapter 1707: What is the Little Gift?
Bei Yun’s gift to the Bei family and Tong Sanlang was the white powder scattered on the gold and silver.
Bei Lingsu was wary of Bei Yun. She ordered the soldiers to step back and opened the box herself, but she still fell for the trap. As soon as the box was opened, the white powder scattered over the gold and silver jewelry dissolved into water upon contact with sunlight, and a foul stench filled the air. She immediately stepped back.
"Cover your noses and retreat! Retreat!" she shouted loudly.
As soon as she spoke, the soldiers scrambled to retreat with all their might. However, some were unable to evade in time and inhaled the foul stench. Blood began to flow from their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths, and one by one, they collapsed and died on the spot.
Witnessing this scene, Bei Lingsu’s eyes turned red with rage. She glared toward the opposing side and bellowed, "Bei Yun, get the hell out here!"
The two sides were separated by a large expanse of open ground. Bei Lingsu’s shout, carried by her internal energy, rang out clearly and reached the Camp of the Three Kingdoms. Hearing her furious cry, Bei Yun, who was standing at the entrance of the camp, broke into a smile and responded with internal energy, "Aunt Lingsu, this is just a little gift for you all. Please take good care of it."
"Take care of your grandpa! Get out here!"
"No, no, no, Aunt Lingsu. You and I are family. If you’re cursing my grandpa, you’re also disrespecting your elder," Bei Yun replied with a smirk.
"Also, Aunt Lingsu, instead of yelling at me here, you should focus on finding a way to detoxify. This poison is contagious. If the corpses of those who have died aren’t handled promptly, soon your entire camp will be infected by this virus."
"When that happens, it’ll be a plague. So hurry up and find a way to detoxify, Aunt Lingsu."
Plague—the very word made Bei Lingsu angrier. The thought that this poison could turn into an outbreak made her want to rush to the opposing Military Camp right now.
Tong Sanlang grabbed her arm in urgency, saying, "Don’t be impulsive. If he’s saying this, then it’s highly likely to be true. Focus on finding a way to detoxify!"
Eight thousand troops had been sent by Daqi this time. If a plague were to break out, the lives of all eight thousand soldiers would be in jeopardy. Losing thousands of men at once—what an enormous disaster that would be.
Bei Lingsu understood this reasoning. She suppressed her rage and hurried to inspect the poisoned soldiers who had perished. She also summoned members of the Bei family to assist in the examination.
In the Camp of the Three Kingdoms, Qiao Xiaomai clearly heard Bei Yun’s voice and was furious.
She had instructed Bei Yun to send her hard-earned gold and silver to Daqi, but Bei Yun had mixed poison capable of creating a plague into the delivery. How insidious! The move was utterly ruthless. At this moment, she felt Heaven’s presence—Heaven, the force that balanced all things. Would Heaven decide to hold her accountable for this act?
Qiao Xiaomai was genuinely worried about this. After all, this disaster stemmed from her involvement.
She rushed out of her tent and hurried to find Bei Yun.
Bei Yun was standing at the entrance of the Three Kingdoms’ camp. Seeing her approach under the escort of a maid, he greeted her with a smile and asked, "So, you overheard everything?"
"You beast!" Qiao Xiaomai gritted her teeth and cursed.
"Hey, don’t be so agitated. You should trust Aunt Lingsu’s medical skills, right? This is merely a small greeting gift. The true war hasn’t even started yet."
"Are you trying to drag everyone to death with you?" Qiao Xiaomai asked coldly.
The two camps were only separated by an open field. If Daqi’s soldiers were infected with the plague, then the forces of the Three Kingdoms wouldn’t escape its grasp either. freёwebnoѵel.com
