Old Chen and the others didn't know that the secret guards on the other side were sneering while replying to them.
Two systems cannot interfere with each other?
no no.
This is half true and half false. Indeed, not many people know the identities of Mr. Chen and Mr. Wu.
However, without the emperor's approval, it is impossible to issue sea arrest documents involving official positions and rewards.
The reason for doing this is naturally to "prompt" Chen Lao and the five others.
Let them kill the devil quickly.
It's really not enough, at least we have to weaken the Demon Lord.
Just as they kill people sent by the court to increase their trust in the demon lord, if one of them dies at the hands of someone from the court, it can also increase the trust of the demon lord.
To put it bluntly, the Dajing court did not care about the death of Mr. Chen and others.
As long as he doesn't die and can still cause harm to the Demon Lord, that's fine.
Out of five people, it wouldn't be a big deal if two or three died.
Being an undercover agent usually doesn't end well.
When you are a kid, you have to be mentally prepared to suffer from both sides.
The five-person group of Erwuzi returned to Xia Yanzhen's place with new horses and some food and water. While it was still early, the six of them headed north again.
When riding a horse, the speed is naturally impossible to compare with riding a dragon.
Xia Yanzhen and the others spent a week walking and stopping all the way, but they were still far away from the imperial city of Dajing.
According to their speed, it is estimated that it will take one to two months to reach the emperor.
Fortunately, the time limit for this mission is six natural months, which is enough.
Obviously the problem of inconvenient transportation was taken into consideration.
Although the Star Federation has guns and cannons - in fact, Da Jing also has them, but they are not as advanced and useful as those of the Star Federation, and they cannot break Qi.
But the internal combustion engine did not appear, and it was still long before the industrial revolution.
No matter where you are, the most important means of transportation on land is the horse.
The fastest "mode of transportation" is horseback riding - it doesn't count if the extraordinary person runs by himself. Even if he runs by himself, considering the issue of physical exertion, riding a horse is still the most suitable method.
And you can't ride randomly when riding a horse. If the horse really runs on poor roads, it will break its own legs.
The importance of being smooth and able to run the official road is self-evident.
Such traffic conditions meant that traveling to the Imperial City was a time-consuming project.
If Xia Yan is really not in a hurry, then take your time.
Besides, even if you want to go fast, you can't get up fast enough.
Because there are really not a few people who want to use the heads of Chen Laowu and others to exchange for high-ranking officials and generous salaries.
Especially after the news spread that the Demon Lord did not take action in the first two times, more people were moved.
Moreover, various methods are emerging in endlessly, and frontal attacks are only the lowest.
What poison, sneak attack from a long distance.
It was an eye-opener for Xia Yanzhen. He didn't expect that Da Jing still had so many talents.
Although there was no attrition in Chongxiao, some people were injured and suffered serious losses.
The furious Chen Laowu also sometimes chased and killed the sneak attackers.
The journey was not boring at all, adding a bit of fun to the otherwise boring journey.
Of course, this fun is only for Xia Yanzhen.
The five people in Chongxiao felt very uncomfortable.
"Captain Xia, drink some water." After just killing a few sneak attackers and getting back on the road, Mr. Chen handed over a brown water bag and said.
"I do." Xia Yanzhen said.
"No, the water contains some antidote." Mr. Chen said, "The poison just now affected you, Captain Xia."
Among the sneak attackers just now, someone spilled a cloud of poison that enveloped everyone.
Others were somewhat affected, and it was normal to take some antidote after the battle.
"okay."
Xia Yanzhen took the water bag.
Mr. Chen's eyes followed Xia Yanzhen's hand, and his heartbeat accelerated a little involuntarily.
There is indeed an antidote in this water, as well as a poisonous worm - a heartworm.
The Boring Mother comes from the secret guards of the imperial court and is a very special insect.
The female worm is very small in its sleeping state, slightly smaller than a grain of rice, and it is completely transparent and cannot be seen clearly when mixed in water.
After being awakened, it will continuously produce core borers.
Heartworms have extremely sharp mouthparts and can secrete special insect fluid.
It can penetrate into the human body without anyone noticing, absorb human blood and grow until it breaks the human heart.
There are several heartworms on Mr. Chen and others.
Just on the edge of the heart, it occasionally moves twice, causing some pain.
When the drilling actually started, the pain of cutting out the heart and bone was unbearable.
This poisonous insect is both a murderous beetle and a terrible instrument of torture.
The Boring Mother is the most cherished item among the secret guards, the old woman called Bug Woman (actually not over 30 years old).
I found an opportunity these days and handed it over to Mr. Chen and asked him to feed Xia Yanzhen.
After eating it, the insect mother will be able to induce the female insect to lay eggs.
Regardless of life and death, fishing in the lake and killing chickens to collect eggs is enough for the female worm to produce tens of thousands of borer larvae in one day.
Then... naturally it's the time of the Demon Lord's death!
Core borers can even break through steel armor. Tens of thousands of core borers can't kill you, the demon lord?
This was the first time Mr. Chen tried to kill Xia Yanzhen.
My eyes followed involuntarily.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Yanzhen stopped drinking water.
"Oh." Mr. Chen suddenly woke up and coughed, "What, the antidote is quite expensive." He found it and got it back in time.
"...I will take action next time if necessary." Xia Yanzhen said, drinking all the water in the water bag.
Mr. Chen nodded, rode his horse forward, and relaxed his tense back.
Done!
Let’s look at the insect woman next.
after one day.
"Can you fucking do it?"
Even when he was communicating through Tongxinfeng, Mr. Chen always wrote out the modal particles.
It was promised that all insects would gnaw their hearts out and die!
One day and one night passed, and Xia Shiyi was still alive and kicking.
Chong Po, you are dead, right?
"Failed, we need the hair and blood of the Demon Lord."
The insect woman didn't die, she just failed, but she was seriously injured and was about to die.
The reason is that the mother worm died - first, the mother worm suddenly couldn't feel the existence of the mother worm, and not long after, the mother worm suddenly died.
The impact caused by the sudden death of the mother worm is not on the same level as the impact caused by the mother worm's forced catalysis of the heart-boring mother worm, causing it to give birth to offspring and die.
It directly backfired on the insect woman.
With the insect woman half-dead, the plan to kill the demon lord with the poisonous insects was completely ruined.
Therefore, we need to change people and find new methods.
A curse that requires hair and blood!
"We will find a solution for hair, but blood is impossible!" Mr. Chen's reply was resolute.
Not to mention the sneak attacks on cats and dogs now, even when Xia Shiyi came out of Rongguang's rented land that day, no blood was seen.
Make him bleed?
Live the dream!
"At least have hair."
"We'll do our best on this." Mr. Chen put away the concentric insects.
"What are you doing! You promised to die!" Wen Tian and Wu An cursed.
Everything is said in the team channel, so there is no need to worry about being eavesdropped.
"I don't know what went wrong there, it just said it failed." Mr. Chen said, "Let's look for an opportunity to get some of Xia Shiyi's hair."
"This is simple, just change him into some clothes." Yu Huachen said.
He also accepted his fate. By killing Xia Shiyi, he could at least save himself.
Two days later.
Yu Huachen used the excuse that Xia Yanzhen's clothes were too dirty and a little torn, so he changed into a third-level dream apostle for him. He had several sets of clothes of various styles.
Then, avoiding Xia Yanzhen, several people searched for a long time and finally found a hair.
Then he contacted the secret guards and handed over his hair.
According to the secret guard, hair alone can only make the Demon Lord sick and weak, but will not directly kill him.
But any effect is better than nothing.
After the hair was handed in, several people were waiting.
Two days later, Wu An suddenly fell ill. Not only that, but many poisons, poisons and other curses broke out in his body.
Wen Tian tried his best to save him for a whole day, but in the end he couldn't save him.
Originally there was a last resort, which was to dance the baby-seeking dance, break the legs in time after treatment, and you should be able to survive.
At that time, Wu An was so ill that he couldn't even move his fingers.
To dance, you must dance by yourself.
It won't work if someone else controls the jump.
In this way, Wu An became the first person to die in Chongxiao.
The furious Mr. Chen contacted the secret guards to find out why it was their people who fell ill!
The secret guards were also very angry. Whose hair did you give me?
Don't think this curse is easy, but it cost you half your life!
Unfortunately, that hair was not Xia Yanzhen's, but Wu An's. The guy scratched his head during the search, and one of his hairs fell on his clothes, and he was thought to be Xia Yanzhen's.
As for Xia Yanzhen himself, his hair does not fall out even when he washes it himself.
Unless you grab it hard and pull it, it will fall off.
Wu An's death was Zhong Xiao's own problem, and it also cost someone from the secret guard half his life.
The Demon Lord was truly unscathed.
Chen Lao and the other four were angry, and the secret guards were also angry.
But they still have to find a new way - the price of the curse of the curse is not small, and they can't do it again in a short time.
Now, we need the poison master to come.
Compared with the Gu insect's method, the Poison Master's method is much more complicated.
We need to start from Xia Yanzhen’s life, and slowly put various “medicines” in the places he comes into contact with, as well as food.
Medicines are harmless and even beneficial to the human body.
You can eat it directly.
But when many medicines are mixed together and combined with the poison master's special medicine introduction, a terrifying poison can be erupted.
According to the poison master, even ten great masters would die from such poison.
As for whether it can kill the demon lord, there is no guarantee.
After all, the core borers have failed.
But it is also good to weaken the Demon Lord.
Compared with the two methods, this method takes longer and is easily exposed.
Fortunately, after giving Xia Yanzhen a water bottle, Zhongxiao took charge of Xia Yanzhen's daily life intentionally or unintentionally.
In addition, the water and food in Xia Yanzhen's imprint space have been almost consumed.
Chongxiao was responsible for the food and drink along the way, so it was still feasible to administer the medicine.
In this way, it took half a month for everyone to get quite close to the imperial city.
There is only one step left before the poisoning is completed - the final introduction to the special medicine.
After getting the medicine introduction, Mr. Chen mixed it into the water that Xia Yanzhen wanted to drink.
Xia Yanzhen took the water bag, took a sip, and then spit it out.
It made Mr. Chen's heart beat hard.
Done?!
Poison masters have said that you don’t even need to actually eat the introduction of the medicine. Drinking water into your mouth can fully trigger the previously accumulated medicine and turn it into a poisonous explosion.
"This water is bitter," Xia Yanzhen said, handing the water bag back to Mr. Chen.
"..."
Chen Lao took the water bag blankly.
Your eyes are slightly red, why aren't you dead yet?
