There was only one person left in the room again. Ling Xun was quietly sipping the tea, which was not of good quality, but he felt a rare sense of relaxation. However, soon a man in a gray suit appeared out of thin air in the room, breaking this illusion. of peace.
"My subordinate is late, please punish me, Master!"
Looking at the familiar leader of the secret guard, Yue Ying, Ling Xun moved his hand holding the cup, causing waves in the cup. The smile in his eyes faded away, it was the powerful and ruthless Wing King again.
"Get up."
Ling Xun didn't mean to blame. After all, such natural disasters are unpredictable by humans. They have tried their best. "You are the only one here? How are the others?"
"My subordinate is the closest and has the fastest distance. When I received the news that the black-clothed assassin's body appeared in Peixian County, I guessed that the master appeared here. Shen Yuan and Fang Qu were also on their way to Peixian County. Due to the impact of the storm, our men suffered heavy losses, but the assassins were also wiped out."
"Is there any clue as to the identity of the assassin?"
After closing his eyes to suppress the sadness in his eyes, Ling Xun asked about the identity of the assassin.
"My subordinates are incompetent. There are no clues on those assassins. They seem to have appeared out of thin air. However, the master has always been hiding his identity during the journey south. These assassins are so skilled and the timing of their attacks is so precise." , if it hadn’t been for the accident like Miss Ye, this time would probably have been more disaster-prone. My subordinates boldly guessed that someone might have spies around the master."
Yueying's face was full of annoyance. As the leader of the secret guard, he failed to protect his master. This was the biggest dereliction of duty. Seeing his master again, Yueying was very excited and was very grateful to Ye Su for saving his master.
"Continue to investigate!" Ling Xun's eyes were as sharp as sharp blades, "There are always many people who want my life, but there are not many people who can force me into such a situation. I want to see who has such power. General ability."
"yes!"
"The news of my disappearance must have reached the capital, right? How did the capital react?"
After questioning the assassin, Ling Xun focused his attention on the capital city, and the current situation was something he did not expect. News of his disappearance had reached the capital city, and someone was about to take action.
Yueying replied angrily: "The emperor was furious and ordered all efforts to find traces of the master. The fifth prince made a lot of noise and wanted to come to the master, but the emperor scolded him. Although he could not come to the master, he sent many people over, but Wen Wen Seeing that their master was missing, the Jia and Jing families began to erode his influence in the army. Although their actions were small, they were still discovered by our people."
Ling Xun sneered and said with sarcasm in his eyes: "This is all within my expectation."
"Then when does the master plan to leave? Although the Pei County government office is temporarily safe, it is not a place to stay for a long time after all. The prince still needs to be in charge of the capital."
"No! It's not the time for me to show up yet. My disappearance will allow those with ulterior motives to jump out. It will also let me know who is a human and who is a ghost. More importantly, I will let the emperor know who I am. Existence was never a threat to him but a help."
Ling Xun shook his head, his eyes full of ice. He had been too popular in recent years and had become a thorn in the side of many people. Now without him, it’s hard to see what regulations those ghosts and snake gods in the capital can come up with.
"But Master, your body..."
Yueying looked at her master worriedly. Things in the capital were secondary. The most important thing was that the poison in the master's body could break out at any time. Without Dr. Bai around, if the poison broke out...
"Yueying, haven't you noticed that Bai Lao has not been with me these days, but I am safe and sound?" Ling Xun's expression softened when he talked about this, which surprised Yueying. He had been with Ling Xun for many years.
Naturally, I understand that the master is in a very good mood at the moment. What happened to the master during his absence?
"Master, the poison in your body has been cured!"
After frowning and thinking for a few seconds, Yueying opened her eyes and said ecstatically, Lan Mei had an attack every day, and Bai Lao was by his side to control it, otherwise the muscles and veins would flow backwards and the pain would be unbearable, but the master's complexion at the moment was as rosy as a normal person.
This is detoxification!
"Never."
Ling Xun's two words instantly dispersed the joy in Yueying's eyes, and disappointment filled his whole body, "It's my subordinate who has lost his temper. Lan Mei is known as the most strange poison in the world. There is no cure. If it can be detoxified so easily,
There is no need to travel thousands of miles to this impoverished place to find the antidote.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xun changed the subject and said something that surprised Yueying, "But if there are no surprises, it will be soon."
"Master found the mithril grass!"
Yueying suddenly raised his head and looked at Ling Xun, who boldly guessed that although his master traveled south this time to recuperate his body, more importantly, it was for the mithril grass, which is said to only grow on the island and can remove all toxins in the world.
"No, I have found a better medicine than mithril grass. Send a message to Fang Qu and ask them to act like they can't find me. They must not let people know that you have found me. Can this scene be performed?
When we go down, we will see if what they are doing is serious."
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and a rare smile appeared on Ling Xun's lips. He had a hunch that if things went well, he would not only be able to get rid of the strange poison on his body, but also get a lot of help.
"yes!"
Although Yueying didn't know what his master was planning, he also understood that something good had happened to his master, so he was naturally happy.
Yueying did things neatly. Two hours later, Fang Qu and his group, who were rushing to Pei County in a hurry, suddenly stopped and continued to set off after a few minutes. No one cared about these few minutes of stay, but no one knew who was leading the way.
