"You bunch of idiots, did you not clean the food properly? Damn it, I... oh oh oh, I can’t take it anymore, get out of the way!"
A backup camp officer angrily cursed at a few fire-soldiers, but as he was cursing, his stomach churned again, and he decisively ran away.
"You guys, act naturally!"
Long Yue followed behind Li Qingmu and said to the people behind her, as long as soone covers their stomach and runs, others won’t co to question you, allowing them to walk freely here.
"Mr. Li, we’ve been using croton seeds for two days now. So enemy soldiers have even contracted dysentery because of it. Shouldn’t we take action by now?"
Soone asked, but was glared back by Cao Jing: "Don’t talk nonsense, A Mu knows what he’s doing!"
Li Qingmu smiled, watching these people run around, and said, "The ti is ripe, I will et their commander, you guys take care of boiling water and preparing the dicine!"
"Oh..."
Then, Li Qingmu went to the commander’s tent.
"Tiger Commander, the brothers probably ate sothing bad. I learned so dicine back ho and went to the mountains to get so herbs. Would you like the brothers to have so?"
"Hmm, is it effective?"
"Yes, it’s effective. Look at , aren’t I just fine?"
Li Qingmu chuckled foolishly, patting his own stomach.
Tiger Commander squinted his eyes: "Alright then, take a team of brothers to try it out!"
This Tiger Commander was very cautious, only taking a batch of n first. Was he afraid Li Qingmu would poison them?
If it were soone else, they would definitely panic at this point, but Li Qingmu remained calm.
This was all within his expectations; that batch of herbs was non-toxic!
It wasn’t long before soone ca to report.
"Tiger Commander, it’s good; the herbs are effective. The brothers stopped having diarrhea after drinking it!"
"Hmm, then let them all have it, um... bring a bowl too!"
After a bowl of herbs, Tiger Commander felt the churning in his stomach beca less intense and shouted "comfortable."
He looked at Li Qingmu: "Kid, your face seems unfamiliar?"
"Commander, I was sent by General Hatu from the front to inspect the provisions, so of course you wouldn’t know ! But..." he frowned, "your provisions caused stomach issues; if General Hatu finds out, he’ll definitely be furious!"
"Cough... it’s an accident, definitely an accident! Brother, please don’t say anything!"
"Of course not, but I still need to observe a few more days; the front line is critical, as we’ve already broken into Hanshui Pass, we can’t make mistakes with provisions!"
"Yes, yes, we should keep an eye on it for a few more days!"
Thus, Li Qingmu and his team stayed there temporarily. During this ti, Li Qingmu taught Cao Jing and others so Xiliang language, cutting off troubles completely.
Two days later, the backup camp started having stomach issues again!
"Damn it, the cook camp, I’m going to chop that crew of bastards up and feed them to the dogs! Again... again... I can’t take it... get out of the way!"
Li Qingmu watched the hurriedly departing Tiger Commander with a cold smile.
Cao Jing ca in, leaned in and whispered: "We intercepted a batch of Xiliang Army trying to transport provisions ahead!"
"Looks like their provisions are running low!"
"Yes, what should we do next?"
"Give them the herb mixture, non-toxic!"
Cao Jing was stunned; still non-toxic? Alright, non-toxic is non-toxic, you’re smart, you’re aweso, I’ll listen to you!
"There’s a ti gap! It takes the enemy three to five days to transport the provisions back, so there’s no rush!"
Cao Jing was astonished, he’s explaining this to him!
He imdiately felt ashad: "I shouldn’t have doubted you..."
"Uncle, no need to be polite, where is Yue’er?"
"She’s gathering herbs!"
Li Qingmu was silent; she had been having a hard ti these days, going out to gather herbs every day.
"Next ti, we take action!"
"Alright!"
Three days later, the reserve camp had stomach issues again.
Third ti’s the charm, this ti, Li Qingmu was serious!
"Tiger Commander, the dicine is here."
"Quick, bring it here, oh ugh... hurry!"
Li Qingmu brought in a bowl of dicine, intentionally walking slower. As a result, Tiger Commander almost rushed over to get the dicine himself.
"Tiger Commander, drink slowly."
His words were like that, but Tiger Commander couldn’t wait any longer and gulped down the dicine.
After drinking, he let out a long breath, feeling comfortable!
"Kid, your dicine really works, it’s soothing! Hmm? Why are you smiling? What’s so funny about ? Kid, give an explanation, or I... ugh..."
Tiger Commander intended to tease Li Qingmu, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdon, causing sweat to drip from his forehead!
He clutched his abdon, suddenly realizing sothing, and looked up in shock, his eyes filled with anger: "You little bastard, you... you poisoned it! Puh—"
A stream of black blood spewed out; Tiger Commander’s eyes widened, his eyeballs protruded, and he died instantly!
Before dying, he wanted to grab his long knife, but Li Qingmu had put a double dose of poison in his dicine, giving him no chance to breathe!
"Ah, it’s poisoned, the dicine is poisoned..."
"Help..."
"It’s the enemy... traitor... puh!"
Outside, the cries of the Xiliang Army echoed; Cao Jing, leading eleven n, wielded long knives, slashing through their lives.
So were not severely poisoned and tried to resist, but after several bouts of stomach trouble, these soldiers had lost their will to fight.
Cao Jing slashed through them like cutting vegetables, and 2,000 enemy soldiers were all dead!
Li Qingmu slowly walked out of the tent; beside him, a Xiliang soldier struggled to grab at his foot but his hand fell three inches away.
Throughout, Li Qingmu didn’t dodge once.
His eyes were indifferent, sweeping over the corpses like the Grim Reaper; the saying "a general’s success through thousands of bones" was just like this.
Cao Jing returned just in ti to see this scene, shocked!
This wasn’t the gaze a young man should have, more like that of a battle-hardened veteran!
"Are you... are you okay?"
Cao Jing was worried sothing might be wrong with him, but Li Qingmu just said calmly: "Let’s go!"
"Where to?"
"Burn the provisions, then intercept the new batch of Xiliang Army transporting provisions!"
Cao Jing nodded and followed.
After walking a short distance, he hesitated, turned back and asked: "Did you... have you killed before?"
Only soone who’s killed before would be unfazed by such a scene!
Li Qingmu paused, remained silent for a long ti, then said: "Yes, killed! Four years ago!"
Cao Jing’s face twitched; this young man was only eighteen now, four years ago, at fourteen? No wonder, shedding blood at fourteen, this kind of experience...
"It’s a pity you didn’t join the army!" Cao Jing lanted.
Li Qingmu was taken aback, smiled, but didn’t reply.
"Pri Minister! Is everything taken care of?"
"Yes! Yue’er, your hands..." These days, Long Yue had been gathering herbs, or making dicine, her little hands had beco rough, calloused on the surface; Li Qingmu felt heartbroken at the sight.
He gently brushed Long Yue’s little hands with his large hand, then embraced her tightly, his breath a bit hurried from guilt, "I’m sorry, Yue’er, it won’t happen again... I won’t let you suffer anymore!"
Long Yue leaned against the man’s shoulder, exhausted these days but her heart felt sweet!
The day for them to return for revenge was getting closer and closer!
