Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 281 Chicken soup is here! (Thanks to I'm no Max for the small reward~)

The roar sounded like the cry of a monkey or the howl of a ghost, and it made Sun Ce's soldiers' scalps tingle!

The ancients were quite superstitious, and many people had heard of the legend about the "Nanzhao Monkey God Mountain".

Therefore, I felt more and more that the roar just now came from the legendary "Nanzhao Ape"!
And their cutting down of trees undoubtedly angered these mysterious and terrifying beings!

The famous scholar Xue Lan immediately suggested to Sun Ce:

“General, let the soldiers rest here and stop cutting wood.

"If we really anger the legendary Nan Zhao Ape, I'm afraid it will punish us!"

These words undoubtedly angered Sun Ce, who was the least superstitious, especially at a time like this that could shake the morale of the army.

The fact that he angrily beheaded Yu Ji in history was enough to show how much he hated these supernatural things!

Sun Ce immediately snorted:
"If we don't set up camp in the mountains, how can we protect ourselves from poisonous insects, wild beasts and the enemy troops that may appear at any time?

“Let’s not talk about whether the Australopithecus really existed.

"Even if it really exists, can it pose a threat to my 15,000-strong army?

"I want to see what kind of punishment that Southern Ape can bring down!"

Xue Lan wanted to persuade him, but Sun Ce gave him a sidelong look:
"Stop talking! If you dare to talk any more, I will punish you with a hundred strokes of the cane!"

Seeing that Sun Ce was determined to do so, Xue Lan could only suppress his displeasure and turned away.

Seeing the soldiers showing fear, Sun Ce shouted angrily:

"It's getting dark! Are you planning to keep company with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts?!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers hurriedly continued to cut wood to build a temporary camp.

However, not long after, that horrifying roar sounded again!

And this time, the sound seemed closer than before.

Seeing that the soldiers' movements slowed down again and everyone looked terrified, Sun Ce became furious:
"You are afraid of that imaginary thing, but aren't you afraid of the Overlord Spear in my hand?!"

Looking at the ferocious appearance of their commander, the soldiers knew how difficult it was to deal with him.

I could only suppress my fear of the unknown and quickly build the tent.

Fortunately, the terrifying roar finally stopped sounding afterwards, and the soldiers felt a little relieved.

But just as the soldiers were cooking.

A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly saw a group of wild pheasants running around on the mountain.

A greedy soldier immediately became interested and quickly asked Sun Ce for instructions:

"General, can we catch some pheasants to eat?"

Looking at the expectation in the soldiers' eyes, Sun Ce thought that he had lost his temper with the soldiers before.

Since you have hit them with a stick, you have to give them a sweet treat. Otherwise, how can you get along with the soldiers?
Sun Ce immediately waved his hand and let them move freely.

The soldiers were overjoyed and after expressing their gratitude, they immediately chased after the pheasants on the mountain.

Soon, the soldiers came back happily, each holding two pheasants.

They skillfully killed and plucked the chickens, removed the inedible internal organs, cleaned them, and then put them into a large pot to cook.

When it is almost cooked, add some salt to season.

Soon, the aroma of pheasant soup filled the entire camp!

Soon, the deputy general He Yi brought a bowl of chicken soup to Sun Ce and shouted with a smile:

"The chicken soup is here - General Bofu, try it, it's delicious!"

Sun Ce glanced at the chicken soup filled with chicken and waved his hand slightly:
"Give all the meat and soup to your brothers. How can they eat as well as I do?" Upon hearing what Sun Ce said, He Yi could only smile bitterly and gave the bowl of chicken soup to his deputy Xue Lan.

Xue Lan was secretly feeling sulky because her previous advice to Sun Ce was not accepted.

Seeing the chicken soup brought by He Yi, he didn't hesitate.

He finished the chicken soup in a few gulps, then hid in the corner and slowly started to gnaw on the chicken.

However, while he was eating, he suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes.

At first he didn't take it seriously, but soon he felt a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen!
The pottery bowl in his hand fell to the ground instantly, white foam began to spit out of his mouth uncontrollably, and his whole body began to twitch continuously!
A strong feeling of impending death suddenly surged into my heart!
Not long after, he suddenly stopped twitching, and there was no other movement...

Not far away, an old man who was also drinking chicken soup suddenly saw Xue Lan's miserable condition and turned pale with fright!
The chicken soup in my hand suddenly lost its fragrance!

He screamed in fear and just as he stood up to call for help, he felt a sudden pain in his stomach!
The next moment, he became just like Xue Lan, his eyes turned black, foam came out of his mouth, and soon he convulsed violently and died!

However, his screams before death still attracted the attention of nearby soldiers.

Soon, some lower-level soldiers who didn't get any chicken soup came running over.

After seeing Xue Lan and Du Bo lying on the ground with their tragic deaths.

The soldiers immediately ran to the central military tent in panic, intending to report the matter to Sun Ce!
While they were looking for Sun Ce, they saw one dubo, duwei, and even xiaoli falling to the ground one after another!

All because of the chicken soup!

After all, soup made from dozens of pheasants is only enough for a few hundred people to drink.

Good things like these were naturally distributed from top to bottom according to official positions.

Only a few soldiers who caught pheasants were given some soup.

But they would never have imagined that this delicious soup could also be their life-threatening soup!

Without the soldiers' reports, Sun Ce had already heard the screams coming from all around him.

He had just entered the tent to rest when he suddenly rushed out.

But most of the officers who drank the chicken soup were lying on the ground, holding their stomachs and wailing in pain!
In severe cases, the patient would foam at the mouth, his lips would turn purple, and he would die soon after.

Sun Ce shouted anxiously:

"What's going on?!"

A military doctor hurriedly reported:
"General! It's pheasants... these pheasants are poisonous!"

Although he had guessed the reason, Sun Ce's expression still turned very ugly:
"Treat them quickly! Treat them according to their ranks... no, treat them according to their symptoms, from the most serious to the least serious!"

The military doctor responded and rushed to treat these unfortunate officers.

Sun Ce looked at the military camp that was gradually becoming chaotic, and he felt a little scared!
Fortunately, he was careful enough not to drink the bowl of chicken soup that He Yi kindly handed to him.

Otherwise, the one lying on the ground now would be him, Sun Bofu!
In theory, normal pheasants are not poisonous.

He used to eat a lot of pheasants when he went hunting with his father.

However, this situation suddenly occurred now, it must be a trap set by the enemy!
And the most vicious part of this strategy is that the enemy guessed that there would not be enough chicken soup to share, and that it must be distributed from top to bottom according to military ranks.

In this way, most of those poisoned were officers!

An excellent officer can command thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers!
Without a general to command them, no matter how many soldiers there are, they will just be a mess.

The enemy used a bowl of chicken soup to carry out a decapitation operation... It's really terrifying!

Just when Sun Ce went to check the situation in the military camp in person and appointed temporary new officers.

The horrific howling sound heard in the evening actually rang out again!
The already panicked soldiers became even more terrified, and some even shouted out loud without knowing what was going on:
“It’s the Nan Zhao apes… It’s the Nan Zhao apes! Those Nan Zhao apes really brought down punishment!!”
