Chapter 365: Cao Family’s Poison

Xu Xiang looked at the Xiuluo warriors and said, "Don’t let anyone get close to the warehouse except the kitchen staff. I only trust you guys in this matter."

Hearing what she said, the Xiuluo warriors including A Lu Zhi felt happy. After several months of working together with her, this sentence finally came out of Xu Xiang’s mouth. Seeing that the kitchen staff had already started preparing breakfast, Xu Xiang and A Lu Zhi left the village square and hurried back to the barracks.

While Xu Xiang and A Lu Zhi were busy distributing the antidote, A Lu Ge, A Lu Da and the soldiers were in the middle of hot pursuit.

"Stop right there!" A Lu Ge shouted at the five barbarians who were running towards the mountains.

Seeing that they refused to stop, A Lu Ge took off the bow on his back, took out an arrow from the quiver, and then aimed at the barbarian’s back while chasing after him. Two seconds later, he released the arrow.

Shing~

The arrow passed through the purple bamboo and flew towards one of the barbarians at fast speed. Just before the arrow hit him, the barbarian rolled sideways and narrowly dodged the arrow.

Crack! Crack! Stab!

The barbarian looked up, and saw that the arrow flew through two purple bamboos and pierced deeply on the third purple bamboo.

When he saw that the arrow easily destroyed two purple bamboos, his heart sank. Fortunately, his reflex was quick. Otherwise, it would be his head that exploded after being shot by the arrow. The barbarian’s back felt cold when he realized that he just survived a horrible death.

He quickly got up from the ground, and ran desperately. Seeing that his other companions had run away, he cursed and glanced back. When he saw A Lu Ge prepare to shoot another arrow at him, his face turned pale instantly.

A Lu Da could clearly see the fear in the barbarian’s eyes when he glanced back just now. Seeing that they were running faster than before, A Lu Da reached behind his back and drew a knife from his belt. Without hesitation, he threw the dagger at the barbarian. Since he wanted to capture him alive, he didn’t aim at the barbarian’s throat, but at his thigh.

As soon as the dagger left his hand, it flew towards the barbarian’s thigh. Two seconds later, the barbarian felt a cold sensation in his thigh. He looked down and saw the dagger go through his thigh, creating a big hole, before it stuck deep in the soil.

As the blood gushed out from the wound, the barbarian felt inexplicable pain. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain, but his legs already lost their strength. The barbarian lost a lot of blood in just a few seconds and became dizzy. When he stumbled on tree roots and fell to the ground, he let out a low groan.

"Ugh!"

Seeing that one of the barbarians had lost the ability to escape, A Lu Da ordered, "Tie him up and stop his bleeding, then drag him back to the village!"

"Yes, Sir."

Three soldiers were left behind to bring the barbarian back to the village, while A Lu Da, A Lu Ge and other soldiers chased the remaining barbarians. After running for more than an hour, they came out of the purple bamboo forest.

As the scenery changed to wasteland, A Lu Da felt that something was wrong, so he said, "Stop chasing! Beware of traps!"

Hearing his eldest brother’s order, A Lu Ge stopped chasing as he watched the remaining barbarians flee one after another. Looking at their fleeing backs, he took out three arrows from his quiver and aimed at the barbarians. He squinted his eyes, drew the bowstring to its fullest, and released the arrow two seconds later.

Swish~ Swish~ Swish~

The three arrows left the bowstring at the same time and flew towards the barbarians at an extremely fast speed.

Stab! Stab! Stab!

"Argh!"

One arrow hit a barbarian in his calf, but two arrows missed the targets. Seeing that he had caught another barbarian, A Lu Ge smiled brightly at A Lu Da and asked, "Eldest Brother, am I amazing?"

A Lu Da looked at his eyes asking for praise and said, "Mhm. You are amazing."

A Lu Ge is very proud to be praised by his eldest brother. He smiled brightly, looked at the soldiers and said, "Tie him up."

The soldiers accepted the order and hurried to tie up the injured barbarian. As they walked back to the village, they encountered the other three soldiers and the first barbarian they captured.

When nobody paid attention to them, the two barbarians looked at each other and saw the same determination in their eyes. Without anyone noticing, they bite off the poison hidden in their molars. As soon as the poisonous liquid in the pill flew down their throats, the two barbarians fell to the ground and breathed their last.

A Lu Da was taken aback, and hurried to check the two of them. When the pulse of the two barbarians could not be detected, A Lu Da’s face darkened.

A Lu Ge, who was standing beside him, looked at the black blood that seep out of the corner of the barbarians’ lips, and asked, "Did they commit suicide by taking poison?"

A Lu Da nodded and said, "We were too careless. I didn’t expect the barbarians to use this kind of trick."

One of the soldiers was a soldier of the Shang Empire. He looked at the barbarians’ corpses and said, "I think I have seen people die with the same condition as these two barbarians in the past."

Hearing what he said, A Lu Da looked at him and asked, "Where did you see it?"

The soldier thought for a while and said, "I used to be a jailer working in the county prison. When the people above wanted to kill someone they couldn’t kill by following the law, they would feed him a pill. This pill is actually a poison that can only be refined by the Cao family from the Shang Empire. One of the jailers told me that this is a secret recipe of the Cao family, that only passed down to the next patriarch after the current patriarch died."
