Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 352: Fake Medicine Harms People

In the end, the poisonous method was in vain.

Song Yuan was forced to come up with another plan.

In Song Yuan's eyes, letting the tiger go back to the mountains was not what he wanted after all. If possible, he would not let Luojia go back no matter what!

It’s a pity that there is no plan that can satisfy both parties. Even though Song Yuan is resourceful, he can only watch helplessly in the end.

I still can't think of a good idea!

Wait until late at night.

Everyone returned to the mansion. Situ Jing and Jinlian quietly walked into the room, only to see Song Yuan, who was still frowning and thinking hard.

"I used to think that you would only do this to win a woman's heart! I didn't expect that you would be willing to risk your life to take a woman's life!" Jinlian noticed Song Yuan's condition and teased him with a smile.

Song Yuan turned around and shrugged: "This is the only solution. After all, this woman is too threatening. I can only think about my men!"

"I think sometimes we don't need to be so picky!"

Situ Jing noticed Song Yuan's distress and immediately spoke to comfort him: "There is no such thing as the best of both worlds in this world. You can't take advantage of everything by yourself, right?"

"Besides, didn't you say it before? Even if Luo Jia really returns to the barbarians, he won't be able to stop you in the end. Some things are better to do your best. There's really no need to make things difficult for yourself!"

Luo Jia knew in her heart that Song Yuan loved his soldiers like his own sons, and it had always been like this.

This idea is certainly good!

But how can war be without bloodshed and loss of life?

Song Yuan is not a god, and even under his control, the battlefield is full of randomness.

Killing Luo Jia now will bring great benefits.

But who knows, after killing Luojia, there won’t be a second Luojia among the barbarians?

What's more, as Luo Jia said, who can guarantee that the Khan will not go completely crazy for his daughter?

What if even if we get the three border cities in the end, we completely anger the madman Manyi? Once he goes crazy, the gain will be counterproductive!

What's more, there are countless barbarians, who can be sure that Luojia is the smartest one among them?

Hearing this, Song Yuan was slightly stunned before he reacted.

Ever since I met Luo Jia, I seem to have gotten stuck in a rut!

That’s right, just as Luojia pointed out, who can be sure that Luojia will be the smartest among the barbarians?

Moreover, Song Yuan has always believed that in matters like war, strategy is paramount, but sometimes, some luck is also an indispensable element!

I always guard against those smart people, but I ignore the saying: Even a fool may make a thousand mistakes, but he will still make one right!

Even if he is a fool, if he is lucky, he is likely to bring great losses to the Qin Dynasty!

I can't even take this into account, right?

What's more, I don't have this ability at all!

There are countless barbarians, and it is very likely that there is more than one Luojia. If you kill one of them, there will be thousands and millions of Luojia emerging in the future!

In this case, simply killing cannot solve the problem at all.

It is better to focus on the present and save up the benefits that can be obtained first.

Otherwise, you will end up with nothing and all the fat meat right at your fingertips will fly away, which would be a real loss!

After thinking it over for a while, Song Yuan couldn't help but grin at the end.

Seeing Song Yuan's expression, Situ Jing's face showed a bit of joy: "Have you figured it out?"

"That's right!" Song Yuan nodded, then stood up. While Situ Jing was not paying attention, he suddenly came up to her and blocked her lips with his mouth!

Faced with Song Yuan's sudden attack, Situ Jing struggled for a while before finally getting rid of Song Yuan's control. She blushed and said coquettishly, "There are people next to us. What are you doing?"

"With a wife like this, what else could a husband ask for? Am I not thanking you?" Song Yuan just felt in a very good mood.

"If you hadn't enlightened me, I might still be stuck in a dead end!"

I have to say, although Situ Jing seems careless on weekdays, sometimes what she says can really touch people's hearts!

For a moment, Song Yuan felt very proud. Having such a wife was like finding a treasure, wasn't it?

"If you ask me, you are just insatiable and too greedy!" Jinlian on the side curled her lips.

Song Yuan smiled.

What's wrong with being greedy?

How many people in this world are not greedy?

In Song Yuan's opinion, appropriate greed is the driving force for his progress, but one must be able to control this mentality!

If you get lost in it, the result will be more harm than good. Even if you are greedy, you also know your limits!

"Okay, stop it. Now that you've figured it out, what's the next step? Isn't it time to think about it now?"

Seeing that Song Yuan was in the mood to play, Situ Jing rolled her eyes at him and urged him on.

"This matter must be reported to the Emperor. Otherwise, you alone might not be able to make a decision. The border is far from the imperial city, and a round trip will take quite a while. Luojia has also given a time limit, so there are some things you must consider in advance!"

According to previous experience, even if the message was delivered urgently within 800 miles, it would take at least three days to reach the imperial city.

It takes six days to go back and forth!

I spent the whole day with Luo Jia yesterday, and there is not much time left. Now, according to the time limit that Luo Jia mentioned, it is just enough!

If we delay any longer, the cooked duck will probably fly away!

However, Song Yuan was not in a hurry and shook his head: "What are you afraid of? If he said seven days, will it really be seven days?"

"I think it's better to put this matter off for a while!"

"Since you have figured it out, why are you still dragging it out?" Luo Jia asked doubtfully.

Song Yuan smiled wickedly and said, "Don't forget, our enemies are not limited to the barbarians. That guy surnamed Wei is also our potential rival!"

"I wonder if I can take this opportunity to undermine the prestige of the Wei family?"

"Oh? What do you mean by this?" After hearing Song Yuan's plan, Situ Jing and Jin Lian showed some doubts in their eyes.

Song Yuan smirked and said, "Think about it, if this matter gets out and General Wei learns about it, will he think that the barbarians are simply cheating?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the two women nodded immediately!

It is true that General Wei is too cautious, and this can be seen from all the details shown before!

He had a large army but did not dare to leave the city to fight.

And now, faced with such a gift from the barbarians, he would only think that the other party had some conspiracy.

"By the time General Wei learns of this matter, and that we intend to exchange the princess for the three cities, do you think, given his character, he will intervene to stop it?"

"Needless to say, of course!" Luo Jia nodded without hesitation.

Song Yuan immediately clapped his hands: "Isn't this right?"

"Since we are confident that we can get the Emperor to agree to this matter, why not set a trap for General Wei before he announces his decree?"

"If he steps in to stop them, and in the end proves that their previous plan was completely groundless, just imagine how the other soldiers will view this General Wei in the end!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Situ Jing and Jin Lian couldn't help but look at each other.

I have to say, Song Yuan is really too mean!

By then, General Wei would not even dare to eat a cooked duck. Once such a thing is made public, it would only solidify his reputation as a coward!

That was the land that was lost from your hands, but in the end you didn't think about how to take it back, but instead tried to stop others. Anyone with a little bit of blood in his veins would not respect such behavior.

As a result, General Wei's prestige is bound to plummet and become even worse than before!

"I was wondering why you weren't in a hurry. It turns out you have so many ideas!" After thinking about it, Jinlian came forward with a bit of charm, and pecked Song Yuan's cheek lightly as if it was a reward.

This little thing can be of great use in Song Yuan's hands.

Who could have guessed the connection between them?

But these snowflakes, piled together, are enough to cause an avalanche that shakes the sky and the earth!

If Song Yuan's plan really came to fruition, he, the Wei family, would surely be cursed for the rest of his life.

It is even possible that his subordinates would rise up and rebel, and Song Yuan could take advantage of this opportunity to make a call and completely sideline this great general!

"Your Highness, I've got it, I've got it!"

Just as everyone was rejoicing, an excited voice suddenly rang out from outside the room. Fatty Zhao, with a smug look on his face, pushed open the door as he spoke.

Seeing that Jinlian was already sitting on Song Yuan's lap, Fatty Zhao couldn't help but show a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Um... I went to the wrong room, sorry!"

Seeing Fatty Zhao being so reckless, Song Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips, but thinking that the other party was visiting late at night and must have something to report, he quickly spoke up to stop him.

"Okay, now that you're here, just say whatever you want to say!"

"Then I'll tell you!" Fatty Zhao stopped and turned around to glance at Situ Jing guiltily. Seeing that the other person's face was calm, he became excited again.

"Your Highness, I suddenly remembered something. When I was doing business in the Imperial City, I was once deceived by someone with a fake ginseng. Because of this thing, I almost lost my life!"

"Later, I caught that guy and beat the shit out of him. Do you think I could trick the princess with something like this?"

"You mean... Zhang Liu?"

Hearing the fat man's words, Jinlian, who had already stood up, suddenly had a bright idea in her eyes.

Faced with everyone's doubts, he hurriedly began to explain.

This willow is also known as mountain radish. The appearance of mature willow is very similar to ginseng, and both are in human shape!

In traditional Chinese medicine, this willow is also known as Jianzhongxiao. If used externally, it is definitely a good medicine for treating injuries!

But there is only one thing, this mountain radish must not be taken orally. If anyone eats it as ginseng, he will be skinned alive even if he does not die!

Therefore, many people regard this willow as ginseng and sell it to others for money and to kill people.

Even a profiteer like Fatty eventually fell into the trap.

"Your Highness, this thing looks incredibly similar to ginseng. Most people can't tell the difference. And let me ask you, when you take medicine, do you ever look at what it looks like?"

The fat man asked directly with a sneaky look on his face.

Song Yuan was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "When I take medicine, I usually ask a reliable person to prepare it in advance!"

After all, at Song Yuan's level, there are too many problems to consider. If he has to pay attention to even one kind of medicinal material, he probably won't have time to do anything else!

As a princess, Luojia is also the leader of the barbarian army. Although she is overwhelmed with affairs of state, she must be almost as busy.

In this case, as long as Luojia said it was ginseng, why would the servants care so much?

Out of respect for Luojia, even if he saw something, he probably wouldn't dare to say anything, right?

"But how can you be sure that the princess can't see it?" Situ Jing on the side was silent for a moment, and suddenly questioned.

Fatty Zhao spread his hands and said, "That's all I can think of. As for whether she can see through it or not, that's not something I can figure out!"

"What I've said is just to provide a clue. As for how this matter will be handled in the end, I'm afraid it will all depend on your Highness's methods!"

When Fatty Zhao finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Song Yuan.

After a moment of contemplation, Song Yuan suddenly nodded.

He had originally planned that if things were really impossible, he would just give up.

Now that I have the opportunity, I might as well give it a try!

"Just do as Fatty said and see if you can use this willow to deceive the world. If it works, it works. If not, forget it!"
