After traveling through time, I married a male princess

Chapter 171 7 miles

It was noon when Xiao Zhe arrived in Yunhe City. He slept until about nine o'clock in the evening.

After dinner, regardless of whether others were tired or not, he directly pulled Ye Jingwen and General Beimo to discuss the siege.

It’s true, Xiao Zhe is crazy, but he is really good at arranging troops and making plans!

Without some real skills, I wouldn't have been able to fight the prince for so long. So far, I've won.

Especially the shady tricks, one after another.

In the following battle, as Ye Jingwen and his team had more manpower, General Li and Ye Beiting began to have a hard time coping.

We were barely able to draw in the first few days, but we have started to lose in the past two days.

On this day, a confidant came to report the enemy situation to Ye Beiting, saying that there were suspicious areas in the southern mountains and suspected that there were traces of enemy activities.

Ye Beiting did not doubt it and decided to go over and take a look after dark.

Who knew that this trip would put him in danger.

No matter how hard he thought about it, he could not imagine that his failure was due to the betrayal of his close associates.

There is no so-called suspicious point here at all. It was just that his subordinates betrayed him and tricked him into coming here.

On the way, Ye Xiao sent the others to the other side, leaving only him and Ye Beiting.

As soon as the others left, Ye Xiao stabbed Ye Beiting without saying a word, and blood dripped from his chest.

"Ye Xiao! You!" Ye Beiting looked at the person he had always trusted in disbelief.

Ye Xiao drew out his sword and threw it aside, then knelt on the ground, holding his head and crying, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Your Majesty! I didn't want to do it! I was forced to do it!"

"Heh." Ye Beiting sneered. He felt really ridiculous. He had lived to such an old age, but ended up in this situation.

He didn't even bother to ask why. He gathered up his last bit of strength and stabbed Ye Xiao's heart with a sword.

Thinking that Ye Beiting was definitely dead, Ye Xiao was caught off guard and died before he could react.

Ye Beiting had used up all his strength and was on the verge of collapse. He knelt on one knee on the ground, supported only by the sword in his right hand.

"puff!"

"Cough cough cough."

Ye Beiting spat out a large mouthful of blood, then squatted on the ground and coughed continuously.

He looked down at the bloody wound and saw that the surrounding area had turned black.

Ye Xiao's sword was smeared with poison.

"Heh." Ye Beiting sneered again.

He was really fooled by himself.

The longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be. After Ye Beiting recovered for a while, he slowly walked back.

Ye Xiao didn't know whether he was too nervous or did it on purpose, the sword missed the target and just passed by his heart, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.

Ye Beiting guessed that he was too nervous.

They were about to kill their master, could it be intentional?

The injury was very serious. Ye Beiting held his chest and took three steps slower than the last one he took.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the side of the road.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he heard someone shouting.

I hope it’s one of our own.

Ye Beiting thought about it in his mind, and then he lost consciousness completely.

"Call the doctor quickly!" The soldiers carried Ye Beiting and shouted loudly as they ran towards the tent.

"What happened?" General Li ran out and saw Ye Beiting on the stretcher. "Your Majesty! Military doctor! Where is the military doctor!!!"

General Li felt like the sky was falling. How come he was like this after just being away for a while?

After Ye Beiting was settled and the military doctor went in to treat him, General Li looked at the people who came back with him, "What happened?!"

"General, I don't know!" Several people knelt down together. "We went to the forest to investigate tonight. As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, we separated from the prince. The prince was with Guard Captain Ye at the time. When we returned again, we found that the prince had fainted on the side of the road, and Guard Captain Ye was nowhere to be found."

"You'd better pray that the prince is safe, otherwise watch out for your heads!" General Li pointed at a few people angrily, and finally waved his sleeves and went into the tent.

"Military doctor, how is the prince?" General Li went in, and the military doctor just took back the silver needle from his body.

"Alas." The military doctor shook his head, "The prince's wound is in the heart. Fortunately, the stab went off the center, otherwise he wouldn't have waited for me to see him."

"So is the prince okay now?"

"No problem? How can he be fine?!" The military doctor blew his beard and glared, "The prince was poisoned. There is poison on the wound. It should be that when he was stabbed, the sword was poisoned."

"Highly poisonous?!" General Li, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was worried again, "Is there a possible solution?"

“It can only temporarily suppress the disease, but it cannot cure it completely.”

"Then how can we cure it completely? What kind of medicine is needed? I'll ask someone to find it!" General Li's face was full of anxiety.

The military doctor still shook his head and said, "This poison is called Qili, the most poisonous in the world, and there is currently no antidote."

"Qi Li?!"

The military doctor nodded gently, "If the poison is not resolved within two months, the person who has been poisoned will have all his tendons and veins broken and die from bone decay."

"The tendons and veins are broken and turned into bones!" General Li took a step back.

Ossification, as the name suggests, means that all the bones in the body will turn into blood and the person will die from pain.

Except for the bones, other parts are intact.

There was once a person who had been poisoned by this kind of poison. After he died, his whole body became limp, like a rag doll. His skin was pierced and filled with blood, with no trace of bones left.

Even the broken tendons and veins remained intact and were not dissolved.

"General, please make a decision as soon as possible. The prince doesn't have much time left." The military doctor packed up the medicine box and said, "Oh, this is the prescription. The pharmacist will deliver the medicine on time. General Li, remember to supervise and give the prince the medicine on time."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Doctor Zhang." General Li took the prescription, folded it carefully, and then placed it inside his clothes.

In the tent, General Li was writing a letter to Ye Xingche to report the situation here, especially Ye Beiting. He wanted to send someone to send him back as soon as possible.

General Li spent the next two days arranging this matter.

As for the murderer, General Li speculated that it was Ye Beiting's chief guard Ye Xiao.

Because he sent people to investigate, and found that apart from Ye Beiting and Ye Xiao who was already dead, there was no trace of a third person at the scene.

As for why Ye Xiao did this, it was nothing more than that he was instigated by the enemy. The reason was no longer important.

"General, rest assured, we will fulfill our mission and send the prince back to the imperial city safely!"

"Well, take good care of Prince Wei."

"Yes!"

The letter had been sent out on the day of the incident, and Ye Beiting also woke up last night.

After learning that the poison he had been infected with was from Qili, he was only surprised for a moment and then accepted it.

After another day of rest, Ye Beiting can go back today after the military doctor prepares the medicine.

"Don't worry, you won't die for a while." Ye Beiting was the calmest person in the whole audience. He looked at everyone without any sadness or joy.

In fact, he was somewhat happy at the moment he was stabbed. Was he finally going to die? Was he finally going to see his brother, the Emperor?

He thought about just staying where he was and dying after his blood had drained out.

But if that were the case, his royal brother would definitely be angry and would scold him for not taking care of his body.

So he forced himself to go down the mountain.

"Let's go." Ye Beiting got into the carriage and spoke lightly.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
