Chapter 38 It’s her again

"Bang!" A tea bowl smashed directly onto the wall.

"Useless trash!" Wu Shixian was furious: "Let my son wait for three days? Give him a trial of medicine for an old guy?"

Several soldiers in the camp were silent. They all knew the old general's temper. He was usually taciturn and unsmiling, and no one dared to dissuade him when he got angry.

"Go and find me one by one the outsiders who have been in and out of the military camp within a month!" As soon as Wu Shixian spoke, the soldiers on standby hurriedly went to deal with it as if they had received an amnesty order.

"You all get out!" Wu Shixian waved his hand, and the remaining soldiers also exited.

"Hey..." Wu Shixian sighed inaudibly and fell down on the chair. He was not only worried about his son, but also his Wu family army, and more importantly, the control of the forbidden army.

Back then, the Wu family and the Ma family were both conquering the world for Emperor Taizu, and they were brothers. The Wu family and the Ma family were so close that they ate from the same pot. But later, they fought for the control of the Central Forbidden Army and for future generations to stay in this prosperous capital city.

And secretly compete.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he, Wu Shixian, almost exchanged his daughter's freedom for the trust of the queen mother and the emperor, thus gaining the Wu family's current status.

Nowadays, the imperial power is gradually being tightened. Although his daughter is the queen, she still has no sons and daughters. As a father, he knows the difficulties in the palace. He and his son have been working hard for the Wu family army and this forbidden army, walking on thin ice with fear and fear.

, unexpectedly something like this happened in the military camp.

Presumably the Queen Mother and the Emperor have already learned about the situation from Eunuch Li, so there is no guarantee that they will not make further fuss about this matter.

Wu Shixian closed his eyes and stroked his frown, seeming a little powerless.

He did not dare to slack off and summoned Wu Gengming's personal soldiers and other people from the same camp of the poisoned soldiers.

He wanted to re-examine the case, but he didn't believe that there wouldn't be any clues.

In Cining Palace, Eunuch Li had already informed the military camp of the situation in detail. Mu Junyan was quite shocked: "You said that the imperial doctor didn't know what kind of poison he was poisoned?"

"I don't dare to speak ill of the imperial doctor, I just report it truthfully." Eunuch Li replied cautiously.

Mu Junyan and his mother looked at each other and said, "I understand, please step back first."

After Eunuch Li slowly withdrew, he closed the palace door. Mu Junyan said anxiously: "Mother, this is not a trivial matter. Someone is trying to set up my imperial army!"

"What does the emperor think should be done?" Queen Mother Fan slowly took a sip of tea and looked up at her son.

"I immediately sent Li Zhibin, the minister of Dali Temple, to the military camp to find the person who poisoned me." Mu Junyan blurted out without thinking.

The Queen Mother gently touched the delicate armor on her little finger, smiled slightly, and whispered into her son's ear: "Emperor, why not do this... What do you think?"

Mu Junyan nodded frequently while listening, and finally agreed happily: "Okay, just do as the queen mother said!"

Mr. Fan smiled with satisfaction, whether it was because of his clever plan or because of his obedient son.

It is said that women are born politicians, which is true. Fan has never read any books since she was a child, but she can rely on her intuition to lead the situation in the direction she wants.

The east is white and the dawn is blooming.

In the commander's camp of the Forbidden Army, Wu Shixian stayed up all night. At this moment, he had listened to the statements of the soldiers, and carefully sorted out the whereabouts of the soldiers before they were poisoned, but still found nothing. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his hands.

Step by step, I always feel like I'm missing something.

"General, the list of all outsiders who have been in and out of the military camp recently has been compiled. Please take a look." The guard hurriedly came to report and handed over a pamphlet with both hands.

Wu Shixian immediately took it and looked at it column by column. After flipping through a few pages, he suddenly stopped and stared at one of the columns. It read: On May 26, Qu Zhenzhen of Tianxiang Pavilion and his party sent mosquito repellent incense to the warehouse.

"Mosquito repellent? Mosquito repellent..." General Wu frowned in thought, feeling that something was about to come out!

Suddenly, Wu Shixian remembered the statements of the soldiers just now and found that the poisoned soldiers, without exception, had the attack while sleeping!

"Come here, let's investigate whether the poisoned soldiers burned mosquito repellent before going to bed!"

The news came quickly, and just as General Wu expected, all the poisoned soldiers ordered a plate of mosquito repellent incense before going to bed!

"Come here, please report to the Emperor and ask Yuxiang Court to send someone to help investigate the case." Wu Shixian's slightly narrowed eyes revealed a dangerous aura: "In addition, quickly investigate the origins of Qu Zhenzhen in Tianxiang Pavilion, and all the people in Tianxiang Pavilion.

I'm keeping an eye on everyone, and I won't let anyone go!"

Although he still didn't understand why an incense shop would commit such a crime of beheading, he didn't mind taking the time to get to the bottom of it.

The guards took the order and went out. Wu Shixian leaned on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes for a while. While he was half asleep and half awake, he heard the soldiers outside announcing that "King Yan has arrived." Wu Shixian was puzzled in his heart, but he did not dare to slack off at all. He quickly got up and went out of the camp to greet him.

.

The old general admired and feared this King of Yan.

When the late emperor died suddenly, the queen mother took the emperor to the throne with a posthumous edict. In the following years, almost all the princes and daughters of the late emperor died young and were convicted. Only King Yan remained standing. According to rumors, King Yan was indifferent.

He is ruthless, extremely wealthy, and has military support in the capital and the south. He is also very skilled in martial arts. Therefore, although he has no real power in the court, no one dares to touch him so far.

Wu Shixian naturally did not dare to offend such a capable King of Yan.

"I don't know that His Highness King Yan's grand visit will be missed in the end!" Wu Shixian was about to kneel down, but King Yan helped him up with one hand: "Old General, please excuse me and go in to talk."

Wu Shixian felt warm in his heart, and immediately turned sideways to lead the way, inviting King Yan Mu Junze to enter the camp.

"Old General Wu, how is the festival going?" Mu Junze asked calmly after sitting down.

Wu Shixian was sincere and frightened: "I dare not worry Your Highness. I have paid attention to my diet and rested quietly in the past six months, but I haven't had many illnesses."

"Yes." Mu Junze nodded slightly and said: "The emperor was extremely anxious after learning about the situation in the army, so he immediately sent me to share your worries... The emperor has worked hard, and I hope the general will understand."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shixian immediately knelt down on the ground and thanked him loudly: "Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!"

Mu Junze was silent for a moment, asked Wu Shixian to stand up, and asked: "I wonder how the young general is doing now?"

Wu Shixian reported back the situation of Wu Gengming and the soldiers in detail, and also told Mu Junze all about the latest findings.

"You mean, there is suspicion in Tianxiang Pavilion?" Mu Junze frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Wu Shixian said resolutely: "Even the hospital officials at Taiyuan Hospital couldn't find out what kind of poison was poisoned. It seems that the person who used the poison must not have made it from food, but it happened that the mosquito repellent incense was sent by Tianxiang Pavilion a few days ago.

, the poisoned soldiers ordered it before going to bed!"

"Mosquito repellent?" Mu Junze tapped his index finger on the table, thinking to himself: "It's her again?"
