Chapter 1414: Searching for the Source of the Poison

His words had only just fallen when the soldier beside him slowly spoke up at that moment. "Right, that's right, it really does seem to be the case."

Hearing the two soldiers' words, Li Yue immediately stood up and said to the two of them: Let's go, take me to see whether the soldiers' big-pot meals are really as the two of you have said!

Hearing Li Yue's words, the two soldiers did not dare to delay, and hurriedly led Li Yue to the place of the soldiers' big-pot meals.

In no time at all, they brought Li Yue to the big-pot meal place the two soldiers had mentioned.

Li Yue walked in and took a look — inside was a big pot, a large round black pot, filled with all manner of dishes; moreover, all around the big pot were various condiments.

Lord Chenxi, this is the place where the poisoned soldiers cook their food. At this moment, a soldier said to Li Yue.

Hearing his words, Li Yue immediately walked over and began to observe carefully, even going over every single thing down to the finest detail, and even carefully examining each and every dish.

After a careful observation, Li Yue's brow furrowed deeply.

Because he had not made any useful discoveries.

It seemed that, if he wanted to find the source of the poison, he would probably still need to keep working at it.

"Damnable — it's already at such a critical moment, how could this be?" Li Yue muttered to himself, his heart very vexed.

The two soldiers beside him, seeing Li Yue's face look so unsightly, also did not dare ask more, and quietly stood to one side.

After a while, Li Yue's mood only then calmed back down.

From now on, according to what you mean, everyone has still been poisoned by eating the food here — although we don't know for sure right now, we still have to give the order that the food made here cannot be eaten.

Yes, Lord. Hearing Li Yue's words, the two soldiers hurriedly replied respectfully. "Since it's not the ingredients, then what else could it be?"

At this moment, Li Yue racked his brains, thinking for a good long while, but in the end, he simply could not come up with any answer.

With no other choice, Li Yue could only have the soldiers stop eating these foods.

Just as Li Yue was racking his brains, at that moment, a water well came into his view.

At this moment, his gaze flitted about the surroundings in a fluster, and he opened his mouth to ask: "Right, is this the water well the soldiers use for drinking and cooking?" Hearing Li Yue's words, the soldier beside him hurriedly nodded, and then one of them said.

Yes, Lord Chenxi, this water well is the one we must drink from every day.

Hearing his words, a trace of doubt immediately welled up in Li Yue's heart.

Looking at this seemingly ordinary water well before his eyes, a strange feeling nevertheless rose from deep within Li Yue's heart.
