Dong Chenglang was surprised and couldn't hide his envy, "So aren't you immune to all poisons?"
Xie Jingchen shook his head, "I can only resist or delay the effects of common poisons."
Even so, it was enough to make people envious.
No one doubted Xie Jingchen's words, especially Dong Chenglang. It wasn't likely that the Duke would poison him while giving the antidote to Xie Jingchen.
General Shi's eyes flashed coldly. He understood Marquis Dongxiang and the Prince; they disdained using such despicable means as poison on the battlefield, but the Duke had poisoned them to force Daqi to capture him alive and compel him to retreat. Wouldn't that be tantamount to handing over the city?
This made General Shi utterly perplexed. Dong Chenglang speculated, "Could it be that the Duke wasn't confident in holding the city and feared the loss of military prestige, leading to reprimands from the Emperor? So he let my cousin and me bear the blame for losing the city?"
