Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 147 I don’t eat mutton.

Carefully sensing these personal guards who came in to place the food, how could this world be different? When the vitality of heaven and earth is sufficient, the battlefield is also the most challenging place. As the personal guards of Uesugi Tiger, these people are loyal and have the cultivation of the fifth rank.
Just as they were about to retreat after clasping their fists towards everyone, Li An suddenly said in a deep voice: "Slow down!"

Shang Shanhu frowned slightly and asked, "Empress, is there anything wrong?"

"Nothing wrong."

Li An looked at the meat on the table, pointed at a guard and said, "It's you. As a guard of the general, you work very hard. I will give you this plate of mutton to share."

"Thank you for your consideration, Madam!"

Glancing at the general who was sitting calmly, and seeing that he had no objection, the closest guard clasped his fists and apologized, picked up a plate of mutton on the table and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Li An smiled and said, "Eat in this tent."

"Hahaha, look at my brain. I always can't remember things."

Shangshan Hu patted his forehead lightly, laughing so hard that his thick beard fluttered and trembled, "I forgot that the queen is a noble in the palace, and someone must taste the food before eating. Chen Er, since the queen has ordered it, you can eat some in the tent first!"

"Follow the order."

Several bodyguards were not polite either. Although they were usually the closest to the general and had the best food and supplies in the army, in recent days, due to the lack of food and fodder in the army, even they had not tasted meat for a long time.

As the main general and a ninth-rank warrior, Uesugi Tora naturally needs to eat meat from time to time to maintain his combat effectiveness.

The mutton on the table was caught by the scouts when they entered the mountains a few days ago. Unexpectedly, due to the nobleman's habit, it was given to them at a bargain price.

Among these, we have to mention one key point.

That was how much Uesugi Tora valued his subordinates. He could not say the entire rear camp, but even these hundreds of guards, Uesugi Tora could call out each of their names. From this point of view, he could be considered to know his troops and soldiers!

Only the few people who came with Ang Lee were a little surprised.

Others may not know, but they know Queen An's martial arts skills. A mere plate of mutton, even if it is poisonous, will not have much impact on her. Moreover, with Imperial Master Ku He by her side, why should she worry about any threats and ask people to taste the food?

However, Queen An has always given people an unfathomable feeling, so she would not do anything useless.

Slowly, the people sitting there put down their chopsticks without leaving any trace and waited quietly.
Li An had a smile on his face as he watched the guards eat the meat with big mouthfuls, but he felt helpless in his heart: the suspicion term is not working well. In the next period of time, which is not too long, they will have to spend it in the army. If they don't seize the opportunity to accumulate experience points from the soldiers, when will there be another opportunity?

After all, the time limit for an entry is ticking away every second.

Fortunately, in the midst of the illusion, Li An heard a system prompt in his ears, which meant that the cautious move of letting everyone eat mutton first had at least caused self-doubt in the heart of one of the guards!

receive!

Suddenly, Li An felt a warm current between his chest, lungs and legs. It was warm and comfortable. However, the feeling quickly disappeared and gradually returned to calm.

With each breath, Li An felt that he was using oxygen more and more efficiently, and it seemed that his ability to store oxygen by holding his breath had also improved!

As for the changes in my legs, I am not in a hurry to test it. If I can move faster under the resistance of water, what about on land? Will it also improve my body movements and lightness skills?

Inside the big tent, now that we have tasted the dish, we should be able to eat peacefully, right?
"Everyone, please come in. The weather is getting colder now. The meat will get cold and inedible if it gets cold soon." Uesugi Tora greeted everyone. In order to dispel everyone's doubts, he ignored the rules and etiquette and grabbed the plate of half-cooked mutton in front of him and started tearing it into pieces.

Although his behavior was vulgar, it was better than before.
If he hadn't taken the appetites of the people in the tent into consideration, he would normally eat raw meat. It must be said that his stomach was really strong!

However, he could handle himself in front of others, but how could he stand out in front of Ku He, who had a history of cannibalism?

Ku He was seen smiling as he used a knife to cut across the plate and started eating.

"Your Majesty, please have some too. This is a military camp, and the food there can't compare to that in the palace, but it's still tasty." Uesugi Tora was a thoughtful person. While eating meat heartily, he observed Li Ang's expression. When he saw that he didn't move, his heart sank, thinking to himself, could it be that what was supposed to come would come so quickly?
After turning his head to signal his son with a glance, he smiled and waited for a response.

Shangshan Powanshi was trying to imitate his adoptive father, but he really couldn't swallow the raw meat, so he hurriedly swallowed the mutton in front of him like everyone else, and then called out to the guards who were still standing in the inner room, "Go down, don't disturb the queen and the imperial teacher and others to eat."

Today, every move of Ang Lee reveals something weird.

It's like the few days a woman has every month, hard to predict.

Seeing Shangshanpo asking people to leave, Li An swept away the bowl and chopsticks in front of him and smiled creepily: "I don't eat mutton!"

With a snap, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

Even though the tent was covered with a soft carpet and the ground underneath was only slightly harder, the porcelain bowl should not have been broken so completely. However, Li Ang swept it too hard, as if he had lost his temper and broke it into pieces!
Don’t eat lamb?

Why didn't you tell me earlier? We can prepare some other meats in advance.
"What do you mean, Madam?" Although Shangshan Hu has promised to obey the court, the object of his loyalty is His Majesty! Queen An is indeed a person close to His Majesty, but she can't humiliate him for no reason, right?
Ignoring Uesugi Tora, whose face had turned as black as ink, Li An gently waved his hand behind his head, his cold and handsome face always maintaining a calm smile.

"Take it."

Ruan Yu exerted force with her calves, and waved the folding fan in her hand with great practice, pressing it down at the few bodyguards who seemed at a loss with an uncomfortable arc!

In a breath, several people felt a heavy blow to the knee. Although they were not disabled, they could not use any strength for a while. They fell to the ground as if their whole body was paralyzed and collapsed.

“Your Majesty!” Shangshan Po stood up unconsciously and exclaimed. These guards were familiar to him. “I don’t know how these people offended Your Majesty. If they have offended you, please forgive their ignorant and unintentional actions!”

"I am indeed ignorant." Li An nodded in affirmation, and also agreed with Shangshan Po's loyalty, "But to say that he is unintentional, that's not necessarily true!"

"Can anyone tell me who handled the dish of mutton and who presented it to me?"

Hearing this, Shangshanhu's pupils shrank slightly, and he growled, "How dare you! How dare you poison me?"

Several guards trembled when they heard the general's roar, but they did not show any symptoms of poison, which made people suspicious.

There's nothing wrong here. Could it be that the Queen is being too suspicious?
Looking at the distress signals in the eyes of the guards, Uesugi Tora guessed secretly.

"No! General, we are wronged!" "Yes, these meats were cooked by the firemen, we just served them!"

"I hope the general and the queen will understand! Even if we were given more courage, we would not dare to poison the queen!"

Shangshan Hu did not respond to the guards' cries for help, pretending not to see their gazes. He raised his hand to stop his adopted son who wanted to speak, and waited for Li An to explain his statement. "The queen has ordered you to tell us who brought the plate of mutton. You just need to tell the truth. Where does all that nonsense come from?"

"To answer your Majesty, this plate of meat was brought up by Chen Er!"

One of the personal guards was also very insightful and realized immediately that they had met with an unexpected disaster. He turned around and glared at the personal guard named Chen Er, as if asking him to come forward and explain himself so as not to implicate others.

In the past, they were brothers and comrades who shared life and death and had a very good relationship.

But now they are suspected of disloyalty and treason. It would be better for them to be killed on the battlefield than to bear such a stigma!
Therefore, the other few people all glared at Chen Er!

Seeing that they had already found a target, everyone cast their sights on this person. For a moment, Chen Er felt a great deal of pressure, and sweat was already flowing down his forehead in the slightly cool weather. He forced himself to stand up, and seemed neither humble nor arrogant: "I am innocent, the mutton smells fishy, ​​maybe the queen smelled something strange, so she became suspicious. If the meat was really poisoned, then we have eaten the meat, why are we not hurt at all? Please show mercy, the queen, and ask the general for your understanding!"

After saying that, his body went limp and he fell to the ground.

Everyone listened, and although they still had some doubts in their hearts, they nodded in agreement unconsciously.

"You made two mistakes." These few words made Chen Er's heart tremble and he could not hide the shock on his face. However, he was facing the ground at this time, so no one could see this expression.

Two mistakes? What two mistakes did you make?

No one else noticed it at all, but how could Queen An actually see two mistakes?

Li An would not tell him that it was because of the system that he could detect the abnormality in advance. He said faintly: "First, the excuse you prepared is indeed impeccable, but it is precisely because it is too impeccable that you can think of such an answer in a flash in the face of the power of so many masters. Don't you find it suspicious?"

"I see that you are not very old, but your internal Qi has already reached the fifth level. This is considered a talent in the army."

At this point, Li An paused for a moment, turned to Shangshan Hu and asked: "General Shangshan, I want to ask you, what is the background of Chen Er?"

This stumped Uesugi Tora, as he did know the names of several people, but it was impossible for him to remember their backgrounds, so he turned his head and asked his adopted son, saying that these people were close to Uesugi Po, so he should know their backgrounds.

"Reporting to the queen, Chen Er was born into a poor peasant family. He has no relatives at home. He joined the army three years ago."

"Does this mean that he has never read or learned calligraphy?"

"I don't care whether you are naturally brave and fearless, but the way you responded was too calm and your words were too methodical. This is the first mistake you made!"

Yup!

Only then did everyone react.

After all, Chen Er was just a small soldier at this time. This man had such strength and clear logic. He had been in the army for three years before. Although there had been no major battles in his experience on the border, there had been constant frictions in small battles with the Qing Kingdom. Why couldn't he climb up even though he had the advantage of being a personal guard?

Could it be that Uesugi Tiger is still unclear about rewards and punishments?
It can only be that this person joined the army with a purpose from the very beginning, and has been mixing among the royal guards, coming into contact with Uesugi Tora and his son in order to get what he wanted!
In an instant, everyone's eyes looked strange when they saw him.

The other foolish guards hurriedly crawled on the ground and moved away from the other party, with a look of stupidity and shock on their faces. Did you see that there are also people with fifth-grade cultivation among these people, but they can't be promoted because they don't want to be promoted? It's because they are not smart enough, so they have been at the current level!

They all risked their lives to join the army and fight. Who wouldn't want to get promoted, get rich, and return home in glory?

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Li An continued, "The second mistake you made was treating me as an ordinary concubine in the harem. Perhaps the intelligence and instructions you received showed this. Outsiders don't know that I have medical skills!"

Everyone was shocked again after hearing this. They had never known that the Queen knew medical skills.

"He who knows how to heal can also use poison"

"A single serving of mutton is indeed fine, but what if it is combined with the other food on the table? Then, I'm sure it will cause the poison to kill people!"

"Sister Haitang?"

Haitang Duoduo's face was as cold as frost. She nodded slightly, brought over the bowl of soup that Li An pointed at, and asked, "Do you want to feed it to him?"

Li An closed his eyelids, and after a moment's consideration, he said, "This person is most likely a spy from the Overwatch Council. Chen Pingping is highly skilled and is very good at brainwashing his subordinates. It is very difficult to get useful information from these people. Feed them the soup, and they will know whether what I just said is true!"

"Don't let anyone with ulterior motives break the trust between me and the general."

As he spoke, he glanced at Uesugi Tora opposite him with a smile.

After Li Ang finished speaking, Chen Er raised his head with a deathly pale face, as if he wanted to remember Li An's appearance firmly, so that he could tell who sent him down when he arrived at the Yama Palace. Haitang Duoduo snorted coldly, pried open the other person's mouth with her fingers, and drank the whole bowl of soup without even a drop spilling out.

Good technique!
Try it another day
Everyone didn't have to wait long. In just a few breaths, Chen Er died of the poison!
"Such a strong poison!"

Ruan Yu exclaimed, with a serious look on her face.

Even he couldn't handle the power of this drug, and could only hold out for a little longer than others. If there was no antidote, at best he would lose all his cultivation and barely survive, or at worst he would close his eyes and wait for death!
Ku He opened and closed his eyes. Even he was a little surprised. After a moment of silence, he said, "The Third Division of the Supervisory Council, Fei Jie."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I failed to check and almost let a villain harm your body. I deserve to die!"

"I am also to blame for my lack of vision and my inability to recognize the traitor. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

During the scene, Uesugi Tiger and his son knelt on one knee, with serious expressions and sincere words.
Although there are hundreds of guards, they are all Uesugi Tiger's most trusted subordinates. Now there is a spy among them, which not only refutes his previous belief that the entire guards have not been infiltrated, but if this matter is leaked, he will be blamed!

The situation between him and his adoptive father Sean was already very difficult before. After this incident, it will be even more difficult in the future. Fortunately, Queen An should be aware of the upcoming war and will not kill him at this time, but the future is uncertain.

"Everyone, please stand up. I am not blind."

Li An's words were like the breeze in March, gentle and soothing. Hearing his words, the two kneeling men felt relieved, and after apologizing again with a look of shame on their faces, they slowly stood up. Their postures were very polite, and they didn't dare to act like the general of the army in front of Li An anymore.

Just as the two of them stood still, they heard Li An's cold voice: "Kill those people in the field, as well as those firemen who participated in the cooking today!"

"You don't need me to teach General Uesugi why he would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, right?"

"remember."

"Leave no one behind!"
