In a quiet room.

The thick wall made of black rattan bricks isolates the outside world. Apart from some vibrations, it is difficult to hear other sounds.

Four female secret guards stood in front of the sealing stone with weapons in hand, paying close attention to all the disturbances in the stone gate.

Dongfang Liren, who was wearing a python suit, was pacing back and forth in the room with an anxious look on his face. Sometimes he would come to the door and use the Tianhe Sword Technique to listen, but apart from some noise, he couldn't hear anything.

The Empress of Wei had already put on a long red dress and was sitting upright on the bed. Because her perception was far beyond that of ordinary people, she knew what was happening outside, and there was a complicated look in her eyes.

If the last time Eunuch Cao entered the palace and Ye Jingtang suddenly jumped out to rescue him, it was because he was full of chivalrous spirit and drew his sword to help when there was injustice, then this time he defended the Dragon Gate alone and refused to retreat, it was completely out of his feelings for her and Li.

People care.

Ever since the empress sat on the dragon throne, she was destined to become a loner. Apart from her own sister and master, she could not trust anyone because she did not know whether the courtiers who respected her in front of her were secretly spies from Beiliang.

The hidden stakes of the Tianjiao, and even the assassins sent by the kings.

But after getting to know Ye Jingtang for so long, these worries were slowly dispelled. Ye Jingtang had countless opportunities to assassinate her, and he could also rely on her and Liren's trust to try to gain power and do bigger things.

But Ye Jingtang behaves like a pure knight-errant, ambitious and the best in the world. He doesn't like fame and fortune, and only values ​​friendship in everything. She and the marquis, official position, and salary given by Li Ren are in Ye Jingtang.

In the eyes, it may not be as interesting as a collector's edition of The Tears of the Heroic Girl.

And the reason why he desperately protects her and Liren is obviously not because of their status, but because they regard them as friends, or people who are closer than friends.

With such a man, the Empress doesn't know how to be jealous even if she wants to. If Ye Jingtang is a scapegoat for a certain force, then it must be the most incompetent scapegoat in the world...

The empress wandered thousands of miles away, thinking wildly. After an unknown length of silence, a voice suddenly rang out in the silent room:

Dong Dong——Dong——

It's a code word for someone knocking on the stone door.

After the four female secret guards turned around to consult the empress, they quickly pulled out the iron bolt that blocked the door sealing stone. Then the door sealing stone shook, and then a gap appeared below, and shouts came from outside:

"One, two, three—"

Dongfang Liren was so anxious that he half-crouched on the ground and tilted his head to look outside.

The garden outside was in a mess, and a lot of fire and smoke could be seen. More than 40 strong men covered their mouths and noses with wet cloths, holding eight iron chains in their hands, and dragged them upwards with all their strength, gradually pulling up the huge boulder.

Outside the sealing stone, stood a man with a sword hanging from his waist.

The man was dressed in a black official robe with a jade belt hanging from his waist. He looked neat and majestic, as if nothing was wrong.

But the red blood stains oozing out of the gauze on the man's hands and his slightly red face still revealed how brutal the melee outside just now was.

"Night Terror Hall?!"

Dongfang Liren and Ye Jingtang have known each other for so long. It’s not that they have never seen him injured. But the last time they defeated Xuanyuan Dynasty, they didn’t see Ye Jingtang fall into such a situation. As soon as the stone door was raised, he flew out from below and arrived.

in front of:

"you……"

Dongfang Liren wanted to check Ye Jingtang's pulse, but when he walked in, he found that the bottom of Ye Jingtang's robe was not flat, and there were some bandaging marks everywhere. He didn't dare to touch it, but looked anxiously:

"How's your injury?"

Ye Jingtang raised his hand to protect Dongfang Liren from coming to the side of the gate so as not to block the way, and tried his best to be calm:

"I suffered some flesh injuries, but the condition is not serious. Lu Jieyun and other thieves have all surrendered. The troops have arrived at the foot of the mountain. I am no longer in serious trouble. It was just when the thieves attacked me that I was suppressed in front of the door. Someone used a hidden weapon.

In a sneak attack, the Queen Mother helped me block the hidden weapon, and I was hit by the Prisoner's Dragon Miasma..."

"ah?"

Dongfang Liren's expression suddenly changed, he supported Ye Jingtang, who was a little shaken, and asked:

"Have you called Doctor Wang here? And that Zhang Jinglin..."

"Everyone has been called. The Queen Mother's current condition is relatively stable, but the poison must be detoxified as soon as possible. Wang Taiyi, Zhang Jinglin, and a witch from all the Xihai tribes discussed two methods. One is to find the golden scale diagram and the dragon elephant diagram.

; One is to go to the tribes of the Western Sea to find poison masters to find antidotes, and they may have to leave soon..."

Dongfang Liren didn't know anything inside, and when he came out he was faced with such a huge pile of news, and he must have been a little confused.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang's aura was very messy, she helped him towards the side of the dormitory, which was still intact:

"Sit down and say, where is the Queen Mother now?"

"At the foot of the mountain..."

…

The Empress of Wei came out under the protection of the secret guards. When she saw the appearance of Ye Jingtang, she actually wanted to ask a few questions.

But as an emperor, in such a chaotic situation, it is still important to make the courtiers feel at ease. At the moment, it is better to go out with the secret guards first...

——

At the same time, at the foot of the mountain.

On the calm river surface, a white shadow flows down like a ghostly water, leaving a long white trail on the river surface. Passing ships hear the movement, and when they look past it in a blink of an eye, there is only a blurry white dot at the end of the field of vision.

Master Xuanji quickly turned back after leaving Sanhe Town. He had just traveled a few miles when he received a message from Feige from Yutan Villa. Knowing that something serious had happened, he rushed back at full speed regardless of the cost.

Sanhe Town is more than two hundred miles away from Yun'an, but it didn't take long for Master Xuanji. When he could see the majestic mountain villa by the river, the dancing demons inside had not yet ended.

Running at such a high speed consumed Xuanji a lot, and her underwear was almost soaked with sweat. When she found that the storm had subsided and the empress met the generals who rushed from the city for reinforcements outside the villa to stabilize the morale of the army, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Master Xuanji fell outside the villa and wanted to go to the empress, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed that among the buildings at the foot of the mountain, Doctor Wang and Zhang Jinglin were standing in the courtyard talking, both of them frowning.

Master Xuanji secretly thought something was wrong, thinking that something serious had happened in Night Terror Hall, so she hurriedly flew down to the yard and came to the lighted door to check.

As a result, it was discovered that Fan Qinghe, who was wearing a red gauze skirt, was standing on a small table outside the screen, with various bottles and cans in front of her, and was concentrating on mixing medicines. The luggage she left behind at the Guan Tou Town Inn was...

It was also sent over and placed with Fan Qinghe.

Looking further inside, on the bed behind the screen, the Queen Mother in a red dress was lying silently, her face that was originally breakable looked a bit pale, and her weakness was visible to the naked eye.

"Huaiyan?"

Master Xuanji's face changed suddenly, and she walked to the bed with a flick of her body. She pressed her hand on the Queen Mother's wrist to take her pulse. Her usually calm expression gradually turned into anxiety.

Suddenly, a familiar sound of breaking wind came from behind. Fan Qinghe, who was used to being beaten, was so frightened that his shoulders shook and he was almost ready to jump out of the window.

In the blink of an eye, he found the sweaty witch squatting beside the bed. Fan Qinghe's old and new hatreds surged into his head. Naturally, his eyebrows stood up and he said coldly:

"Get out of here!"

The tone is very fierce!

Master Xuanji is not a doctor, but he also knows that Fan Qinghe can prepare all kinds of poisons and is proficient in medicine and pharmacology.

As a family member visiting a patient, Master Xuanji naturally did not dare to get angry when the attending doctor yelled at him, and was even a little nervous. She quickly stood up and moved away, then turned around and asked:

"What kind of poison did the Queen Mother have?"

When Fan Qinghe saw that Master Xuanji was timid, she naturally became angry and said with a frosty face:

"I am discussing countermeasures with Dr. Wang and Dr. Zhang. What are you doing rushing in? Knowing the situation, what else can you do besides being anxious?"

Master Xuanji felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so he nodded gently, came to the front and asked softly:

"How is the Queen Mother's current situation?"

Fan Qinghe turned around, handed the medicine-pounding pestle to Master Xuanji, and asked her to help pound the medicine and responded:

"I've been hit by the Prisoner Dragon Miasma, but there's nothing I can do about it at the moment..."

Fan Qinghe carefully explained the situation just now and the countermeasures discussed by several people. The various methods and difficulties were explained clearly, but the part about sexual compatibility was omitted. After all, she herself felt that this approach was too wild.

When there is no way to save the life, you don’t dare to seek medical treatment urgently.

After Master Xuanji finished listening, his heart sank.

If there was a Dragon Elephant Diagram in the Night Terror Hall, then only a Golden Scale Diagram would be needed to cure the Dragon Prison Miasma. It seemed like a pity that she didn't grab the Golden Scale Diagram when she saw it just now, but in fact it was not.

If she had made a move just now, there was no need for Jiang Zahu to fight to the death. He would have turned around and chased her as far as Liangzhou; and even if Jiang Zahu had not dared to fight her, she would not have been unharmed.

One move destroyed the invincible boxing champion, so there must be a price to pay for it.

If she ran away or was injured in a fight, Ye Jingtang was also injured in the villa, and the empress was also powerless, then it would become an empty city. The Queen Mother might be fine with the Golden Scale Diagram, but Duan Shengji,

Zhou Chiyang and others suddenly show up tomorrow to assassinate the empress, who can stop them?

After Master Xuanji considered it for a moment, he said:

"Jiang Zahu avoided the battle and ran away at the risk of his life. It was difficult to block him. Only by encircling Ye Jingtang could he be sure to get the golden scale map. However, Ye Jingtang had just experienced a bloody battle and it would be difficult to recover without a month's time.

In full prosperity... the Minglongtu can only be used as a backup method, and the tribes in the West Sea should be used as the main method. Are you sure you are sure to find the Poison Master?"

"The tribes of the Western Sea are my territory. It is impossible to make medicine without buying medicinal materials. As long as people are in the tribes of the Western Sea, I can find clues..."

While Fan Qinghe was talking, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from outside the door:

Puff puff puff~

Master Xuanji turned around and saw the bird staggeringly flying into the window, holding a cloth bag in its claws, which contained hard pieces the size of paper.

Because he was high, the bird flew unsteadily, landed on the table and rolled around, then jumped around the cloth bag, not knowing what he was doing.

Seeing this, Master Xuanji hurriedly came over and took out the dragon and elephant picture from the package. He felt as if he had found a treasure. After all, this could not only save the life of the Queen Mother, but also the life of the Empress.

For this reason, Master Xuanji took a look at it and walked out of the room. He wanted to show the picture to the empress first so that the empress could correct the wrong picture of the dragon and elephant now.

Fan Qinghe was also a martial artist, so he was lying when he said he didn't think much about the Minglong Picture. He originally wanted to pretend to be a female doctor and look around, but in the end he only saw a flash of golden light and Master Xuanji ran away. She quickly chased him out the door.

Grab Master Xuanji:

"What are you doing? This is a life-saving medicine for the Queen Mother, do you still want to keep it for yourself?"

Master Xuanji did not stop: "I will go and have someone check the authenticity first, and I will study it for you later."

Fan Qinghe didn't understand Master Xuanji's intention, so he followed behind and grabbed his sleeves angrily:

"Does this still need to be tested? Can the Night Terror Hall pick out a dozen of them without the Dragon Screaming Picture?"
To be continued...
