When Zhu Jie walked to the second place, which was outside the door of the shop, he realized the problem.
Since the person who should be found was found by Lin Ye, there should be an ambush.
If not, then there is only one possibility left: someone is watching him secretly, not taking action against him, and just wants to follow him to find Mr. Mei.
If the person staring at him secretly could not be discovered by him, it means that his strength is at least equal to his.
The greatest possibility is to be above him.
So he chose to come to his favorite bamboo forest. If he died, he would feel relieved if he died here.
Man, there are three blessings: the small, the medium and the big.
Being born smoothly is a blessing, a small blessing, because the moment of birth is short.
Being able to choose where to live is a blessing because you live a long time.
It is a great blessing to be able to choose where to die, because death is forever.
"You can choose who you want to be your opponent."
Zhujie smiled: "I'm a little happy."
Lin Ye shook his head: "You and I are different."
Zhujie asked: "What's the difference?"
Lin Ye said: "I don't choose my opponent. If I can't even choose to take action, I will definitely not take action."
Zhujie frowned: "What do you mean?"
Lin Ye turned and left.
He said: "I don't need to waste my time with you."
Zhujie was furious: "As a general, don't you even have the courage to fight with others?"
Lin Ye has already boarded the carriage.
He said: "I never think about courage, only whether it is necessary. You are an unnecessary person."
As he spoke, he had already sat in the carriage. Pang Panghai flicked his whip and the carriage began to turn around.
Bamboo Festival is furious.
He stepped a little lower and rushed towards Lin Ye's carriage.
While the man was in mid-air, several crossbow arrows flew towards him. He flicked his sleeves and burst out with inner strength, swinging the crossbow arrows away.
But while swinging away, the crossbow arrows also exploded.
The air waves and broken arrow clusters forced him to retreat.
After landing, Ouchi guards came out from all over the bamboo forest and fired arrows at him.
Bamboo Knot was satisfied when he saw the forest leaves appearing.
Regardless of whether he can kill Lin Ye or not, his final opponent in life is Lin Ye, and this is worth satisfying.
But now, he is only angry and unwilling.
In his opinion, Lin Ye was a coward, a bastard, a bloodless man who was not worthy of being called a man.
But no matter how unwilling he was, the person he had to face was no longer Lin Ye.
Countless crossbow arrows flew towards him, and he kept avoiding and blocking them.
With his strength, he is enough to walk freely in the rivers and lakes, but now, he can't move even an inch.
He has cultivated invisible sword energy.
Although he doesn't do whatever he wants, he still has the aura of a master.
But, sword energy breaking crossbow arrows is like exchanging golden needles for wheat awns. Moreover, at this time, there are countless golden needles and endless wheat awns.
More and more Ouchi guards appeared around him, and it became more and more difficult for him to deal with them. At first he could kill a few, but later he could only protect himself with all his strength.
Until, an arrow was not deflected by the sword energy and stabbed his shoulder.
On the outside, Yan Xilian, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guards, took action.
He brought with him the strongest group of Ouchi's bodyguards, who wore black armor and used hard bows to kill people hundreds of steps away.
After one arrow hits the bamboo joint, the movement of the bamboo joint stagnates, the second arrow, the third arrow, the fourth arrow...
None of the arrows hit the target.
After Yan Xilian and his black-armored archers started taking action, the crossbows of the Ouchi guards stopped.
They just made the siege smaller and would never give Zhujie a chance to escape.
Four arrows hit Zhu Jie's limbs at the same time, and he was nailed to the ground by the arrows.
Several black-armored archers stepped forward, drew their bows, and aimed their arrows at Zhu Jie's face at close range.
Zhujie sneered.
"Fire the arrow!"
he shouted.
Yan Xilian walked over, looked down at the bamboo joint, then turned and walked away without even looking at it a second time.
In his opinion, it's not necessary.
His men squatted down and tied the bamboo knot tightly with special leather ropes. At the same time, they cut off the bamboo knot's hand tendons and hamstrings, and took off the bamboo knot's chin.
An Ouchi guard tore off a strip of bamboo clothes, walked to one side and handed it to Yan Xilian.
Yan Xilian raised his hand and whistled, and several mastiff dogs came galloping towards him in the forest.
Half an hour later, by the river.
Yan Xilian stood on the stone bridge and watched as the mastiffs barked at the door of a house.
On the surrounding rooftops were the black-armored archers of Ouchi's bodyguards.
Not long after, someone pushed the door open from the courtyard and came out. It was the Ouchi guard who entered from behind.
The person who came out shook his head at Yan Xilian, but Yan Xilian didn't react at all. He turned around and left without even the slightest bit of annoyance.
If it was so easy to catch someone, how could this situation be so difficult?
After another half an hour, we entered the palace.
After Yan Xilian came back, she told the emperor carefully what had happened.
After a while, the emperor asked: "Where did Lin Ye go?"
Yan Xilian replied: "The general went to the granary again."
The emperor asked: "Did he say what he went to the granary for?"
Yan Xilian shook his head: "I didn't say."
Gu Xiujin immediately said: "I will arrange for someone to go to the granary to take a look."
The emperor nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, and he vaguely felt that the matter was not over yet.
Less than a mile away from the granary, there is a tea stall on the roadside.
Mei Luowu and a woman were sitting there drinking tea, neither of them looking towards the granary.
But they just saw Lin Ye's carriage passing by and entering the granary.
The woman looked about thirty years old, her face was somewhat square, and she was not a pretty person.
Her figure is also a little thicker. If she puts on the attire of a peasant woman, there will be no flaws.
"Sir, do you still have any questions?"
she asked.
Mei Luowu looked down at the tea bowl and didn't answer for a while.
The woman asked again: "Sir, if Lin Ye can still detect the problem, did Zhu Jie die in vain?"
Mei Luowu raised her hand to take the tea bowl, but she didn't drink and her hand stopped in mid-air.
"Lan Zhi."
Mei Luowu raised his head and looked at the woman: "If Lin Ye finds out after all, will you blame me for letting Zhujie die?"
At this time, it was the turn of the woman named Lan Zhi to remain silent.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Mei Luowu: "When Mr. asked Zhujie to kill someone, he didn't think that Zhujie would definitely die, right?"
Mei Luowu nodded: "When I asked him to kill someone, I just wanted to not slow down Lin Ye."
Lan Zhi said: "Then I don't blame you sir."
Mei Luowu still looked guilty.
"I am conceited. I feel that everything is within my calculation and everything is under my design."
Mei Luowu's fingers were digging lightly on the table.
At this time, he was not the wise man strategizing, but just an elder brother who was blaming himself.
"Let's go, sir."
Lan Zhi said: "Lin Ye has gone to the granary. Probably there will be no more luck. Zhu Jie is dead, but sir's plan has not failed."
Mei Luowu shook his head: "Failed."
He said: "If someone finds out, I have failed. Even if the ending is happy, I have failed with this move."
Many times, people who are good at using intelligence pursue perfection more than those who study martial arts.
In the granary, Lin Ye squatted down, pinched some grain, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.
There is no special smell, but the forest leaves are not solid.
If you look closely at the grains, you can tell something is wrong.
He looked back at Pang Panghai: "Find some living creatures to try."
Pang Panghai responded immediately.
The enemy's plan to hide food is vicious enough, but it is definitely not airtight.
It is impossible to transport so much food and leave the city, so the probability of being found is extremely high.
But whether the food you find can be eaten is another matter.
This is Mei Luowu's plan.
How can we poison so much grain? How much poison is needed? And the poison is not always effective.
But he still found a way, even if the final effect of the medicine could not poison all the Jade Army, it could still make the Jade Army lose their fighting power.
Now, the poisonous food plan hidden behind the grain storage plan has been noticed.
But for Lin Ye, it was not worth being happy if he noticed it, because the food he found was useless unless it could be detoxified.
In a sense, the enemy's final plan was successful.
Either force Emperor Jade out of Yangzicheng, or make the army that has eaten the food lose its fighting capacity.
"General."
Pang Panghai looked at Lin Ye: "It can detoxify, right?"
When he asked this question, he felt really lacking in confidence.
There is too much food, and if it is all poisoned, it seems impossible to detoxify it.
Even if the poison could be found out in a short time, it would be impossible to prepare enough antidotes.
"let me see."
Lin Ye stood up and said, "No need to follow me, I'll walk alone."
The news soon spread to the palace. When the emperor heard that the food he found was poisonous, he was slightly shaken by his calm state of mind.
Even though the poison has evaporated a lot during this period and is no longer so toxic, the soldiers still dare not eat this food.
"His Majesty."
Concubine Wan Gui looked at the emperor: "Are you ready to leave Yangzi?"
The emperor did not answer immediately.
There was indeed enough time to leave Yangzi at this time, but one can imagine how dangerous it would be to leave the city.
"Where's Lin Ye?"
The emperor asked.
Gu Xiujin leaned over and replied: "Back to the saint, the general is walking on the street alone without his entourage. He has been gone for more than an hour."
The emperor was silent for a while and then stood up: "I will also go for a walk, no one needs to follow me."
Gu Xiujin knew that if the emperor wanted to think of countermeasures, he needed a quiet environment without being disturbed by others.
He hoped that the general who was walking alone over there and the emperor who was walking alone here would come up with a solution.
About half an hour later, Lin Ye stopped, and at this time, the sky became dark again.
His Majesty gave him five days, but in fact three days is the most. If he doesn't leave the city tomorrow, there may be problems on the road.
The existing food and grass may not be enough for the journey, causing the troops on the road to go hungry to meet the enemy.
Lin Ye turned around and returned towards the granary.
He had to try it no matter what, even if the method he thought of was not a medicinal detoxification method at all.
While striding forward, on the other side of Lin Ye, Mei Luowu and he were on the same street, walking in different directions.
The closest distance between two people is even only one foot away.
