Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

Chapter 181 Taking advantage of the situation (2)

"It's impolite not to reciprocate, so I should bring something to General Li," Mo Ye said with a smile on his face and a sly look in his eyes. He slowly took out a black medicine bottle from his arms and shook it gently. "I heard that he drinks a cup every day. You know what to do."

Gou Xi looked at the black medicine bottle and felt a chill in his heart, but under Mo Ye's intimidating gaze, he still reluctantly stretched out his trembling hand and took the medicine bottle.

"My dear hero, it is so obvious that the poison has been carried out. If General Li dies, my life will be in danger as well!" Gou Xi's voice was filled with fear and helplessness. He knew that if Li Chu died of poisoning, he would not be able to escape the blame.

Mo Ye smiled quietly, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and he said softly: "Who told you that this poison will kill Li Chusheng immediately? Don't worry, as long as you do as I say, nothing will go wrong. After this matter is settled, come to Yangzhou again in ten days. There are still many things that need your assistance."

After saying that, he patted Gou Xi's shoulder, as if to comfort him.

After hearing this, Gou Xi felt a little relieved. Although he secretly groaned, he knew that there was no way out now and he could only bite the bullet and follow Mo Ye's instructions.

Xia Qin stared at Gou Xi with cold eyes and said in a cold tone: "Hurry up and do what you should do. If you delay any further, it may arouse their suspicion."

Gou Xi quickly responded: "Yes, I'll go right away!"

He hurriedly left the provincial government with two of his men.

After Hong Shengxiang gave a few brief instructions, Deng Yuting and Lin Shifeng led several Night Spirit members to quickly catch up with Gou Xi and others.

Hong Shengxiang said with emotion: "Finally we can pull out these nails! Otherwise, it will definitely bring more trouble in the future!"

Xia Qin nodded slightly to show her agreement.

At this time, Mo Ye looked at Hong Shengxiang and asked, "Brother Hong, you went to Kyoto and the three northern counties of Jingzhou to gather information a few days ago. What was the result?"

Hong Shengxiang shook his head helplessly: "Ever since the news of you secretly helping the Mu family spread, they are always surrounded by many martial arts masters to protect them. It is probably very difficult to assassinate them now."

This was also expected. In the past, if Qin Huiqi and others were assassinated, the chances would be greater, but Mo Ye's plan was to let the tyrant emperor and the treacherous ministers fight each other. In the current situation, there are gains and losses.

Xia Qin's thoughts were wandering. The spies in Yangzhou and Jingzhou should be eliminated soon, but she couldn't be happy at all.

Two hundred thousand enemy troops are about to arrive. Last time they fought with twenty thousand against fifty thousand. Although they won a great victory with almost no casualties, most of the black gunpowder was consumed in that battle.

To produce so much black powder again, not only was there not enough raw materials, but time was also too tight.

Xia Qin couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why was he just an ordinary time traveler and not have those powerful golden fingers like others?

If I could come up with a few heavy machine guns or develop some modern weapons, I wouldn't have to worry so much.

Now he could only hope that the weapons that he asked Lu Cheng to make with the current level of technology could play a greater role.

The task of eliminating the spies went extremely smoothly. With Mo Ye's methods, it only took two days to pull out all the "nails" hiding in the dark.

Unexpectedly, the number of spies was far greater than expected, as many as 175!

On weekdays, they are responsible for collecting intelligence in Yangzhou and Jingzhou. In addition, they are also responsible for executing various secret orders issued by Qin Haoran.

This group of people had been lurking here quietly as early as when Xia Qin first arrived in Yangzhou. The person who came up with this plan was Li Chusheng, Qin Haoran's trusted adviser.

However, all of these people eventually died, without exception.

But at the same time, they must continue to "survive" because Xia Qin needs "them" to pass on some information that she wants Qin Haoran to know.

After Gou Xi returned to Nanyang County, he stared at the two followers who had followed him for many years and couldn't help but sigh: "Now we are really in a dilemma. If we make a mistake, either side can easily take our lives."

One of the men asked cautiously, "Brother Gou, do you think the poison is really poisonous?"

Gou Xi sneered and said, "When they gave you the antidote that time, you didn't have to take it. You'll know after trying it."

"Brother Gou, I was just daydreaming."

"I'm serious! Next time you go to Yangzhou, don't take the antidote. If you die, I will take care of your wife and children at home for you!"

When facing this subordinate, Gou Xi was no longer as timid as before, and his words were full of murderous intent.

If Li Chusheng hadn't known that he had these two followers around him all the time and killing them would arouse suspicion, Gou Xi would have killed them both to prevent future trouble.

“Brother, please don’t do that, brother!” The subordinate immediately knelt down crying, like his replica, “I have followed you for so long, you can’t…”

"Okay, I was just joking, don't be so spineless!"

Looking at him, Gou Xi seemed to see himself. As expected, what everyone least wants to see deep down is themselves when they are embarrassed.

"You two stay here, I will go see General Qin and General Li by myself!"

Gou Xi said this and walked into Qin Haoran’s temporary residence.
