Crossing the Sword

Chapter 155 Identity Crisis

Ye Shisan casually tapped Sun Qing's shoulders with his fingers several times, calming down her blood pressure which was once again in chaos due to her emotions, and said, "Don't be too excited, unless you want to recover later."

Sun Qing nodded gratefully and said, "Thank you, benefactor. By the way, my name is Sun Qing. I am good at swordsmanship and poison. I am Zhang Lang's wife. Since Song Yi treated me like that, I have no reason to be loyal to him anymore. The general I injured before has been poisoned by my Green Shadow Double Swords. If I don't detoxify him quickly, I'm afraid..."

Ye Shisan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I have already cured his poison." After that, he cast his eyes on Ling Fei. It depends on Ling Fei's opinion whether to recruit him or not. As a "guest official", Ye Shisan couldn't interfere and help him make this decision, even though they were friends.

Ling Fei understood what Ye Shisan meant, and asked the two of them kindly: "What are you going to do next? If you are willing to surrender, I can naturally protect you and you can join my Five Elements Flag. If you still don't want to surrender, I can only bring you back to Youdu after destroying Shansai, and obey the Black Emperor's disposal. Of course, you can also bet on the outcome of the war, and it will not be too late to decide whether to surrender after we win." Although his words contained some threatening meanings, his words were sincere and he spoke the truth, which did not make people feel disgusted.

Zhang Lang now understood the general situation and began to regret his original choice. When he heard Ling Fei's question, he immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you General Ling for saving Qing'er's life, but Zhang Lang knows that our sins are grave. Countless Sanmiao soldiers died or were injured at our hands. We are guilty of this. Since General Ling is willing to give us a chance to start a new life, how can we still be ignorant of the situation? I am willing to tell you everything about Shansai. I will tell you everything I know!"

Seeing Zhang Lang's statement, Sun Qing nodded and closed her eyes, indicating her agreement with his decision. After all, her current body was not suitable for making bold statements like Zhang Lang did, and no one would blame her.

At this time, there was another burst of shouting and killing sounds from outside. The strategy of tiring out the army designed by Ye Shisan had been carried out in an organized manner.

Ye Shisan stood up and said, "As for the layout of the mountain pass, you don't have to rush to tell me. If I'm not mistaken, the enemy will definitely break out after nightfall."

Ling Fei was stunned and asked: "How do you know? Do they have any other conspiracy?"

Ye Shisan opened the Qiu Fan again, smiled profoundly and said, "If it was before the ambush, I would not dare to make such a bold judgment. But after seeing Song Yi's ruthlessness, I can be sure. Judging from the current situation, the other party has no chance of winning. With Song Yi's selfishness, he will naturally not live and die with those ordinary bandits. And using all the bandits to cover their escape, even if we know, it is difficult to stop it."

"So!" Ye Shisan continued, "The enemy troops can be defeated tonight, and Song Yi gave us this victory in order to save his own life. I am here to wish General Ling more great achievements. Alas, it seems that there is nothing for me to do now, I will go to see Yu'er and the others first."

After hearing his words, Sun Qing suddenly opened his eyes and said, "My benefactor, I am so sorry. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that I had put the pollen of Banrixiang on the woman you rescued. I had intended to use it against you, so..."

Before she could finish, Ye Shisan immediately asked: "Do you have any red and white stones on you?"

Sun Qing was stunned by the question and took out a goose egg-sized red stone with white spots from her arms and said, "As a poisoner, of course I would carry this with me. But how did you know that the red and white stone can cure the poison of Banrixiang?" Before she could finish her question, Ye Shisan had already snatched the red and white stone from his hand and rushed out.

The toxicity of the pollen of the half-day fragrance is not strong, but the smell is also very light. If you don't pay attention, it is very difficult to detect. If it is stained on the skin, you will start to feel drowsy after half a day. People with a cultivation level above the Xiantian stage can expel it from the body as long as they notice it and practice for a while. Even if you really fall asleep, it will be eliminated by itself after sleeping for half an hour. However, if an ordinary person is poisoned, he will have to sleep for more than a month before waking up. Even if Zhang Tianya doesn't have the red and white stone, it will take a lot of effort to detoxify this poison.

Ye Shisan was not too worried about this. If he was given two hours, it would not be difficult to wake up the girl. But the problem was that his current identity was still problematic. If his identity was discovered when Bai Yu was poisoned, things would be troublesome. Although they did not dare to hurt Bai Yu, Zhang Tianya still did not want to see this happen. Of course, this possibility was very small, but Ye Shisan had to be on guard.

After Ye Shisan left, Ling Fei asked curiously, "Is the poison of this half-day fragrance pollen very strong? Why were you so surprised when you knew that Songxi knew the antidote?"

After Sun Qing introduced the characteristics of the toxicity, he said, "Although the poison is not strong, it was the best choice for us as we just wanted to capture the benefactor alive. The growing conditions of this half-day fragrance flower are very harsh. Only on some cliffs can one or two flowers be found occasionally, and it only blooms for half a day a year, hence the name half-day fragrance. Not only that, its flowering time is also very irregular, and it is possible from March to September. And where this flower grows, there must be red and white stones, so even if someone encounters it, its toxicity will be offset by the red and white stones, and there will be no discomfort. Therefore, few people know about this flower, and even fewer people know that this flower is poisonous, and even fewer people know that red and white stones can detoxify. I also learned about it from an old pharmacist by chance, and I was surprised to see that the benefactor was so familiar with this flower."

Ling Fei wanted to slap himself when he heard this. According to what Sun Qing said, it was easy for people to associate it with Ye Shisan's identity. Why did he ask so much? But since he had already asked, of course he had to do his best to make up for it. He smiled and said, "This is actually not surprising. Yu'er said that when Songxi was in Taihao Country, he had studied medicine with a famous doctor. I see that you are tired too, so you should take a rest. Quickly untie Brother Zhang Lang."

Ye Shisan didn't know that his behavior just now almost exposed his identity. After helping Bai Yu and the girl who had just been rescued to detoxify, he suggested to Bai Yu: "Yu'er, if I'm not wrong, Brother Ling will win tonight. After that, let's leave quickly. I always feel like a thief in this military camp."

"No! Don't come over here..." The girl they rescued was awakened by a nightmare. In fact, to detoxify, she only needed to be near the red and white stone, and there was no need to wake her up deliberately.
