Chapter 683 Discussing the Medication
General Li took the blueprint and looked at Ni'er with some confusion, not understanding why she was so excited.
However, when he slowly unfolded the drawing, his eyes suddenly lit up after only seeing half of it.
General Li walked quickly to the table without saying a word, spread the drawing flatly on the table, and then looked at it carefully.
After a while, his voice trembled slightly with excitement: "This... Is this the location of the enemy's granary?"
Nier nodded slightly, confirming, "That's right."
General Li's face lit up with joy upon hearing this, unable to conceal his excitement. He hurriedly asked, "Then how did you determine this? Why does it show this as an empty granary?"
Facing General Li's barrage of questions, Ni'er remained calm and composed. She had been well prepared, and spoke the words she had been brewing for a long time: "This is actually not difficult. You only need a little observation to find the clues."
"The guards at the empty granary change shifts much less frequently than those at other granaries."
"Not only that, they also seemed rather lax while carrying out their duties, even chatting away their time. They were completely lacking the diligence of the other granary guards."
"You really helped a lot!" Prince Li praised sincerely.
Seeing this, Ni'er put her hands on her hips and raised her head triumphantly, a hint of arrogance on her face, not hiding her pride, "Of course!"
"But, Your Majesty, do you have any specific plans for the enemy's granary?"
Prince Li put the blueprint away, then pondered for a moment before replying, "It's hard to say at this point. I need to discuss this with the other generals."
Nier nodded in understanding. "Yes, I understand. Military secrets cannot be leaked. Oh, and I have some medicine here. I wonder if it will be of any use to you."
As she spoke, Ni'er took out a huge paper bag from her bosom and handed it to Prince Li.
Prince Li took the paper package curiously, opened it and saw some white powder inside.
"This medicine is colorless and odorless. People who drink it will not have any abnormal reactions in the first four days, but on the fifth day, they will suddenly feel weak all over, have unbearable stomach cramps, and uncontrollable bowel movements." Nier explained in detail.
A hint of surprise flashed in Prince Li's eyes. He was obviously surprised by the effect of the medicine. It was also the first time that someone had said such vulgar words in front of him without blushing. This little girl was really interesting.
"If we could put this drug in the enemy's drinking water, they would definitely be thrown into disarray!"
Prince Li nodded, agreeing with Ni'er's idea, but then frowned again, "However, the enemy's drinking water is very strictly guarded. They drink river water, and it flows very fast. I'm afraid it will be difficult to drug them."
Nier slowly raised her head and looked straight at the general.
"General, can't you think of a simpler and more effective method?"
"For example, you could put the poison directly in the water they're cooking. The enemy army is so numerous, so don't you think there might be one or two of your men? If there are, wouldn't it be easier to have them do it while they're cooking?"
"Although they will check whether the food is poisonous, they can't detect anything about my medicine."
General Li's eyes showed recognition of Ni'er, and he slowly said: "I will carefully consider your suggestion."
Nier nodded slightly to show that she understood, then turned around and returned to her tent.
After a busy day, she can finally take a break and catch her breath.
She sat tiredly on the edge of the bed, praying silently in her heart that General Li could find the right person to drug the enemy.
If we can really make the enemy surrender without sacrificing a single soldier, that would undoubtedly be the ideal outcome.
After all, she really didn't want to see the tragic scene of rivers of blood and corpses everywhere on the battlefield.
Nier's thoughts gradually drifted away, and she began to miss her family at home.
At this moment, my mother and father must have fallen asleep. I wonder how Yichuan’s martial arts practice is going, whether Niu Li’s test results have come out, and whether his name is on the list?
Thinking about this, Nier's eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, she could not resist the invasion of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, sunlight shone onto Nier's face through the gap in the tent, and she was awakened by the sound of her stomach rumbling.
She rubbed her eyes, remembering that she had not eaten enough yesterday and her stomach was empty.
Nier sat up and suddenly found that the princess was sleeping on another bed, looking at her with resentment.
"It's all because of your stomach. It's making so much noise that I can't sleep." The princess muttered and complained.
Nier held her stomach tightly, trying to make the rumbling sound quieter, but contrary to her wishes, her stomach didn't seem to agree and instead rumbled even louder.
Ni'er's face turned red in an instant.
Seeing this, the princess at the side finally couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Alright, alright, stop covering your stomach. My stomach is growling so loudly, it won't stop even if you cover it. Let's go eat quickly. If we dawdle any longer, I'm going to faint from hunger!"
As she spoke, the princess took Nier's hand and hurried out of the tent.
However, just as she reached the door of the tent, the princess suddenly stood there motionless as if she had been cast under a spell.
After a long while, the princess slowly turned around and said to Ni'er quietly, "That's not right. Even if we go to eat, it's just to fill our stomachs. What's the difference between eating and not eating?"
"I've never been this hungry in my life! I never thought I'd have to endure so much hardship on this trip."
Nier looked at the princess's sad face and felt a little uncomfortable. She was thinking about how to comfort her, but the princess suddenly changed the subject and continued, "But even though I have been hungry and cold along the way, I am still very happy!"
"After all, I saw a lot of people and things that I had never seen before. This is also a different experience."
Nier took the princess's hand.
"It's great that you think that!" Ni'er's voice was filled with surprise and relief. "When we came out together, I was actually very scared. I thought I might really be doomed this time."
"I was worried you'd cry. After all, this situation isn't easy for anyone to deal with. But now that I see you're so strong, I'm really happy!"
The princess showed off her neat teeth. "Haha, Nier, please don't praise me. But it's better to have something to eat than nothing, right?"
The two of them came to the place where they were getting their meals. The princess couldn't help but frown when she saw the porridge in front of her which was even thinner than before.
