"Hahahaha." Latiya looked at Liu Zhang and suddenly laughed, a bit sad: "Liu Zhang, you really deserve to be the overlord of this party. How hypocritical and shameless are you?
Don't say that I don't have an antidote at all. I wrote down the antidote list and it's too late for you to go pick it up now. So what if I give you the antidote? Will you really let me go? Others don't understand you. I'll wait.
Don’t you know me yet?
The Tianshui Protectorate and Wuji Xiaowei Department have reported your ambition to Liu Zhang. You want to take the Western Region into your hands, which is greater than my ambition to rise up Yarkand.
I, Latia, do not need an army. My own magic can be equivalent to countless armies. I, Latia, do not need a country. As a witch god, I can respond to hundreds of requests in the Western Region. Will you let me go? Will you really let me go?
Me?
Yes, I know you will. You won't kill me. If you want me to return your five thousand cavalry, you will use me as a puppet to form a Yarkand under your control to help you deal with the Yuezhi army, right?
When the five thousand cavalry are yours and the Yueshi army is defeated, will it be the day when Latiya dies? Don’t I know what kind of person you Liu Zhang is? What unscrupulous things will you do for your bullshit cause?
Not coming out?
Do you think that I, Latia, will let you use me until there is no bone left, and then I will be executed by you? I, Latia, are not fools like Fang Party, Gaota, and Sun Quan, so stop dreaming, okay?"
For the first time, for the first time in his life, and at the last moment of his life, Liu Zhang felt for the first time that he was powerless under anger.
Latia is too smart, and she is too sure of herself. When she first persuaded herself to attack Jingjue to save her brother, Latia accurately stated her temperament. But at that time, the situation was not as serious as it is now, and she was okay.
Fooled over.
But now, my own thoughts, as well as those thoughts that I had not thought of yet, but would definitely do so in the future, were exposed by Latia.
Latia possesses magical powers, one person is equal to countless soldiers and horses, and as a witch god, even if the army is defeated, in the superstitious place of the Western Region, he can respond to the call of a hundred people.
Liu Zhang would definitely not keep this kind of person who poses a great hidden danger to the stability of the Western Region. Liu Zhang had not thought about what he would do to Latia in the future, but Latia said that when the Yueshi were defeated, that would be when she died.
Really, nine times out of ten, she understands me better than I do.
Now that Latiya had exposed all her thoughts and was not afraid of death, Liu Zhang felt powerless for the first time.
"Huh~~" Liu Zhang breathed out lightly. Latia did make him helpless, but that didn't matter anymore.
Latia also said that it was too late to find the antidote, which meant that Xu Zhaoxue's antidote was the same as hers. No matter how effective the antidote was, there was no need to ask Latia for the antidote.
As for the five thousand cavalry, forget it, no more.
Kushan's army. Think of another way.
He has nothing to ask for from Latia. Since his cards have been shown and his thoughts cannot be hidden from Latia, he doesn't have to worry about anything: "Take him down. Guard him tightly. After seven days, behead him."
"yes."
Two soldiers took Latia down. The reason why Liu Zhang was imprisoned for seven days was because it was the time when the poison was spreading. Liu Zhang didn't want to kill Latia beforehand. Who knows what could happen. This involves too many people. The Sichuan Army officers and soldiers
Even if they were poisoned, they could still make suggestions, but if they were left with the root of the disease, Liu Zhang would not feel at ease even if he died.
What's more, there were Qu Lingchen and Xiao Furong, so he couldn't bear it. Although it was impossible to give Latiya the antidote, Liu Zhang didn't want to end his escape all at once.
Latiya was taken away. Liu Zhang sat down again and held his head in his hands. Now he had more than a headache. Liu Zhang really felt uncomfortable. Xiao Furong looked at Liu Zhang and felt even worse, but she didn't know how to comfort him.
Liu Zhang could only lie on Liu Zhang's back and let his hair fall on Liu Zhang's face.
At this moment, Qu Lingchen suddenly turned around in surprise. Liu Zhang raised his head, and Xiao Furong looked at her in surprise. Xu Zhaoxue who followed behind also looked happy, but Liu Zhang saw sadness between her eyebrows, and suddenly
Startled.
I almost forgot that Xu Zhaoxue was also controlled by Latia. If Latia was beheaded, Xu Zhaoxue would also die. Xu Zhaoxue heard his order and now he just pretended to smile.
Liu Zhang suddenly felt very sorry for Xu Zhaoxue. Although he did not feel that way towards her, Xu Zhaoxue had been kind to him many times and came to inform him again this time. Otherwise, Liu Zhang would not know how the Sichuan army died.
"Husband, good news." Qu Lingchen said: "We have already sent people out to collect the herbs from the Kunlun Snow Mountains in the antidote, and the first batch has been sent back today."
"What?" Liu Zhang was surprised. "What herbal medicine?"
"Sanxue Cordyceps was originally used to prevent acclimatization."
"Sanxue Cordyceps, are you acclimatized?"
Liu Zhang's mind suddenly brightened, and he thought it was too dramatic. What acclimatization could be cured by Sanxue Cordyceps? That was the medicine that Latiya requested to add on the first day he occupied the Jingjue Palace.
At that time, everyone felt that the medicinal herbs recommended by Latia were completely useless for those who were acclimated to the soil and were only antidotes. Latia also said that Jingjue City was crawled by snakes and scorpions, so it needed to be detoxified.
Later, I conducted research with King Mulu and other military doctors and found that this was completely false.
But after all, it concerned the whole army, Liu Zhang did not dare to be careless, and still sent people to collect Sanxue Cordyceps. After all, ordinary Sanxue Cordyceps was not that precious.
Did Latiya do it on purpose?
Liu Zhang remembered that Latia breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ye Ke being brought out by the Sichuan army, and then gave him some advice. Obviously, if Ye Ke died or something unexpected happened, Latia would not say anything.
Latiya must have been grateful to the Sichuan army for rescuing her brother when she told her about this medicine.
But why did Latia first put the poison and then give him the antidote, and then kept it secret from himself? If he was really grateful to the Sichuan army for saving Ye Ke, Latia should have said that it was the antidote, why didn't he tell himself?
You must know that if you don't know today, after the deadline, even if you boil it into medicine, it will be useless. What is Latiya going to do?
Could it be that when the deadline came, Latiya told herself that all the Sichuan troops were poisoned, and then blackmailed herself with the antidote, then let her go, let the five thousand troops go, and then allowed Yarkand to return to the country?
When Liu Zhang thought about this, he only felt that it was very possible that Latiya was really smart and did not want to die with the Sichuan army.
But it's not quite right. If Latiya was really blackmailing her with the prescription, then the process control was not right at all.
First of all, Latia must make sure that she went to find Cordyceps three snows, right? But Latia was being watched all the time, and she didn’t even know that she sent people to find Cordyceps three snows.
What if she didn't go looking for Cordyceps three snows to threaten her? It would not be the end of the same fate by then. As long as Latia had normal sense, she should ensure that she would send people to look for Cordyceps three snows.
But apart from the suggestions on the first day, Latiya didn't care about it at all.
Liu Zhang suddenly felt that Latiya was a woman with too many mysteries. The reason why she suddenly became ambitious and raised an army in the first place was far-fetched, saying that Yarkand was on an equal footing with the Han Dynasty.
But attacking Loulan contradicts this purpose. The Huns were on equal footing with the Han at the beginning, using Loulan as a buffer. If they were to fight directly on the border, it would be life and death. Did Latiya think she could defeat the Han outside Yumen Pass?
Regardless of the fact that it was difficult for the Han army to attack in the Western Region, it was because the supply line was too long. If it was outside Yumen Pass, it would be a different scene. Yarkand had absolutely no reason to win.
Now she is putting poison and giving an antidote, but it doesn't look like a threat, nor does it look like killing the Sichuan army. What on earth is she going to do? Could it be that the woman's aunt is here and her thinking is disordered?
And Latia's performance was too intense. Only now did Liu Zhang remember that Latia was really angry after being blocked by soldiers. She seemed to be very sensitive to her humiliating status, which surpassed everything else.
Liu Zhang shook his head, forget it, there is just a queen from the Western Regions, she won't stay anyway, so why think about it again.
As the sun set, Liu Zhang returned to his home. He felt weak all over. He lay down on the bed. He was already weak, but today he was angry again. Liu Zhang felt that his life was burning fast. He already knew that he didn't have much time. Perhaps, he would not see tomorrow.
sun.
"Rong'er, help me call Yueying, okay?"
There was a tone of request in Liu Zhang's tone that he had never heard before. Xiao Furong felt sad when she heard this. She knew that Liu Zhang was not only saying that he wanted to see Huang Yueying, but he was also asking for herself. After all, she was his wife now and wanted to get her.
agree.
Xiao Furong knew Liu Zhang's feelings for Huang Yueying, but she was sad that Liu Zhang's love for Huang Yueying obviously exceeded hers, but her husband could tell her in such a tone at this time that there was nothing she was not satisfied with.
Xiao Furong nodded with tears in her eyes and called the soldiers to call Huang Yueying. Huang Yueying came over quickly. Xiao Furong and Qu Lingchen went out together, leaving only Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying in the room.
"My lord, you met Latiya during the day, how was it? Has she agreed to cooperate with us?"
Huang Yueying did not ask about Liu Zhang's condition, nor did she dare to ask. She had known for a long time that Latiya was being detained, but now she really had nothing official to say to Liu Zhang. It was the first time that Huang Yueying was so stupid, pretending not to know, and asked a very stupid question.
question.
Liu Zhang shook his head, his chest rose and fell, and said slowly: "Yueying, I don't have much time. I don't want to discuss anything else. I want to ask you, why did you come to the Western Regions?"
In the past, for more than a year, Liu Zhang did not dare to ask Huang Yueying about her relationship, fearing that she would have other thoughts after he left. But now, in a faraway land, with Huang Yueying still by his side, Liu Zhang finally couldn't help but ask.
Huang Yueying had already said the reason for her coming in the afternoon. The affairs in Jiangdong were settled, Fa Zheng was in Jingzhou, and Liu Xunzhou was in charge of Chang'an. She had nothing to do, so she came to the Western Regions. (To be continued)
