Tu Dan was obviously worried about Lu Chen, so he sent Xiao Yao to supervise him.
Now that the barbarians are gathering in the Khitan camp, at a critical moment, it is definitely necessary to confirm again.
"Reporting to the Khan, as far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with it."
"But just to be on the safe side, it's better to find a warrior to test it out."
Tu Dan was very satisfied with Xiao Yao's cleverness. He turned around and looked at Xiao Huohuo: "Huohuo, it's up to you to test the elixir!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd began to commotion.
Although Xiao Huohuo was the source of this incident, he was also a victim.
Let him try the elixir, it will definitely not work.
After all, he is a young prince.
With his noble status, asking him to try the elixir would be a slap in their face!
"Khan, the general doesn't think it's appropriate!"
Zhao Gou noticed Tu Dan's eyes constantly scanning him, and immediately understood what was going on, and immediately stood up and retorted.
"oh?"
"What's wrong?"
Tu Dan's face darkened, and he was ecstatic.
I thought in my heart that this old boy Zhao Gou is on the road!
I figured out Ben Khan’s intention so quickly. I will definitely think of you if I can benefit from it in the future.
"The young prince has a noble status. What if this is a conspiracy by the southerners to kill our Khitan nobles, causing internal strife among our six tribes and killing each other? Then he goes north in one fell swoop and slaughters all our six tribes. Wouldn't it be a trap? What's the plot?"
It's okay if I don't say it, but when I say it, all the Khitan barbarians break out in cold sweat.
If that were the case, it would be terrible.
But is it really what Zhao Gou thought?
"Your idea is too whimsical."
"Let's not talk about whether the southerners have that ability. It will be very difficult to implement this plan."
"After all, they don't have the ability to predict the future. How could they know that I would let Huohuo test the poison."
Tu Dan's retort was just right, and he hit the nail on the head.
All the Khitan barbarians no longer doubted that he and Zhao Gou played a double act.
"No!"
Zhao Gou gradually entered the state and began to cooperate with Tu Dan.
"Khan is extremely powerful and cares about the grassland people. This is known to all."
Having said this, he paused and glanced at all the Khitan barbarians present. His eyes were clearly asking, do you think what I said is right?
The barbarians who were glanced at all nodded desperately.
I thought you said that is not nonsense!
We dare to say it is not the case!
These are all broken problems.
"In this case, when the detoxification pill is successfully refined, for the sake of his people, Khan will definitely not let me, a Khitan warrior, test the pill. He will definitely find someone close to you to test the poison."
"The reason why they were able to attack the young prince must have accurately guessed the relationship between you and the young prince. They knew that you are not the kind of leader who protects his relatives. They took advantage of your weakness to harm you."
The more Zhao Gou said it, the more it seemed true. The Khitan barbarian was stunned for a moment.
"so!"
"If this antidote pill turns out to be fake today and the young prince dies, the Xiao family will definitely have heresy."
"The grievances accumulated by the six grassland tribes over the years will then explode directly. When the southerners take advantage of the civil strife in our grassland to attack, it is very likely to bring disaster."
"hiss!"
All the barbarians gasped when they heard this.
Instead, they all knelt down and begged: "Khan, think again!"
"Little Prince, this matter is of great importance, so don't be emotional!"
"I beg the Khan for permission, I am willing to test the poison with myself!"
"I do too!"
Then, calls for orders resounded.
Tu Dan's eyes were filled with confusion, and his heart was already filled with joy.
I said in my heart, Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou, you are really my dog-headed strategist.
This incident was obviously caused by Xiao Huohuo, and many generals were already dissatisfied with him.
Originally, I just wanted to use this detoxification pill incident to ease the relationship between him and the generals.
I didn’t expect that you kid, such a thief, would fool these warriors all at once.
Good for you.
"What you said is true?"
Tu Dan pretended to hesitate.
When Zhao Gou saw that the fire was almost done, he knelt down and shouted loudly: "I don't want to die, please beg the Khan for mercy. Don't fall into the Southerners' plan, and don't let the young prince put himself in danger!"
Behind him, voices sounded one after another, urging Tu Dan not to act out of anger.
"That's it!"
"Everyone, please get up!"
Finally, Tu Dan reluctantly spoke.
"Since you insist on not letting fire test poison, is there anyone willing to risk their lives?"
"I!"
"I do too!"
A group of people chirped and volunteered.
Tu Dan looked happy and found a warrior to step forward.
"Give!"
Lu Chen had been watching their performance for a long time and was already impatient to wait.
But I have to say that Dan Tu’s method is very effective.
In this feudal era, the best way to unite military morale is to play the emotional card.
People at this time are relatively simple-minded.
You can deceive their trust with just a few tricks.
If it’s the later generations, it won’t work.
The warrior took the detoxification pill and drank it while everyone watched.
After a while, the abnormality on his body began to subside.
The body temperature drops, the mind is clear, and most importantly, the urge to have fun is gone.
"Khan, my poison is cured!"
The barbarian spoke excitedly to Tu Dan.
Seeing this, Tu Dan's last worry disappeared.
"Doctor Xiao, you are responsible for distributing antidote pills to them. It is best to detoxify them all before tomorrow morning!"
Tu Dan explained and walked towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen still looked calm and calm, as if he was not worried that Tu Dan would cross the river and burn the bridge.
"Khan, I have done what I promised, now can you consider my third condition?"
Tu Dan smiled strangely and looked at Lu Chen: "Don't worry, let's go to the big tent to talk."
Then, he dragged Lu Chen towards his tent.
The two returned to the big tent and chatted for a long time.
Tu Dan seemed to be stalling for time, and Lu Chen didn't care.
Until midnight, a barbarian came to report.
"Reporting to the Khan, all those who were poisoned have been detoxified."
Tu Dan replied: "I know!"
When the messenger went down, Tu Dan's gloomy eyes suddenly turned to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen seemed to have expected that he would be like this, and did not show any surprise.
"Here comes someone!"
"exist!"
Following Tu Dan's order, countless Khitan barbarians rushed into the tent, pointing their scimitars at Lu Chen, waiting for Tu Dan to give the order.
"Cut off this person's limbs, make him into a human pig, and take him down and torture him slowly."
"Remember, don't let him die!"
Tu Dan's words were like the evil ghosts of the Nine Nether Hell, icy cold to the bone.
Even the Khitan barbarians who rushed in could not feel a trace of warmth.
But of course they would not be lenient, and after receiving the order, they slashed at Lu Chen's back.
"Wait!"
At the critical moment, Lu Chen opened his mouth and stopped.
Tu Dan saw that he was calm and calm even so, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He always felt that things were not over yet.
Moreover, it went too smoothly.
After all, it was impossible for someone as difficult to deal with as Lu Chen to submit so obediently.
