"Your Majesty, you don't know something. After being bitten by these artificially raised poisonous things, you can only go to the poisonous owner to get the antidote. If an ordinary person is bitten, he will die."
"How can this scorpion be so powerful?" Nangong Ming asked Situ Nan, who happened to be leading the Royal Forest Army to rescue him: "Situ, where do these scorpions come from?"
Situ Nan's expression changed, and he suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me. Your Majesty is aware of it!"
Nangong Ming said: "I am not doubting you, I just want to find out the origin of Scorpion, otherwise these people will all die in our Southern Dynasty, and their fathers will all come to me to ask for people, how can I turn the dead into human beings?"
live?"
Situ Nan then stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, I have never seen such a poison before, but the emperor can rest assured that I have many friends outside, and there are many heroes in the world. I will ask the emperor about it now."
"No need to ask, they are from the Scorpio Sect!" Duoduo said with a sure look on his face: "I have met several people from the Scorpio Sect by the river for about a month. If you don't believe it, go and paint those on the ground.
When a person takes off his clothes, there must be a lifelike little black scorpion tattooed on his back."
A guard walked over and pulled down the collar of the man in black who was dead on the ground, and reported: "Your Majesty, General Situ, look, there is indeed a black scorpion, exactly like these scorpions on the ground!"
Nangong Mingdao: "Sure enough, it is a good thing that the Scorpion Sect dares to let Duoduo say it right! Duoduo, tell me, what kind of sect is the Scorpion Sect and what is its influence?"
"Back to the emperor, the Scorpion Sect is a sect that scares people in the world. Because it tames poisons and uses them to practice poison skills, many righteous people disdain to associate with the Scorpion Sect, and the people of the Scorpion Sect never go down the mountain easily, unless
Someone used unimaginable wealth to buy it."
At this time, the condition of the poisoned person became more and more serious. The imperial doctors rushed to the imperial garden one after another. Seeing the emergency, they quickly issued a prescription and asked people to go to the alchemy to get the medicine. At the same time, they took out long and short medicines of different thicknesses.
Needles for emergency acupuncture.
"Your Majesty, I forgive you for your incompetence. I can only use acupuncture to control the spread of toxins. Local bloodletting cannot completely eliminate the toxins. In addition, taking medicine internally can temporarily protect the functions of the five internal organs from being destroyed..."
Nangong Ming said: "How long can it last?"
The imperial doctor said: "It may take up to three days or at least eight hours to return to the emperor."
"General Situ obeys the order!"
"I'm here!"
"According to my word of mouth, we urgently mobilized 300,000 border troops to return to the capital to guard the city, completely blockade the Scorpion Gate thugs and arrest them. Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded! Anyone who helps in the arrest will be rewarded heavily!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"General Cheng, listen to your orders!"
"I'm here!"
"Hurry up and bring all the wealthy businessmen in the capital back and put them in jail to await my interrogation!"
"My lord, I obey!"
"The hospital obeys orders!"
"I'm here!"
"You will quickly summon all the famous doctors in the capital to discuss the ingenious plan for detoxification without making any mistakes!"
"My lord, please obey..."
Seeing Nangong Ming's calm demeanor in the face of danger, Duo Duo sincerely admired him. Nangong Jie didn't know how many years it would take for Nangong Jie to demonstrate his aura of guiding the country.
"Father, what should we do?" Nangong Jie summoned and asked.
"What can we do? You stay in the capital to help, and I and Duoduo go to the Scorpion Gate to get the antidote and demolish the Scorpion Gate!"
"Ah? Your Majesty, I..." Duoduo warned her repeatedly when she came down the mountain not to offend the people of the Scorpion Sect and the Nascent Soul Sect, but now the Emperor has made it clear that she should go with him... "What? Duoduo should
Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid? How could it be? Since the emperor thinks so highly of me, if I don't go, won't I lose the emperor's face?"
"Father, my son is going too!" Nangong Jie knelt down on one knee and said, "Father, let me go. I am no longer the weak and careless young man I used to be. I will not hold you back."
Duoduo also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, King Jie is no longer the unconfident guy he used to be. He has one more person and one more helper."
Nangong Ming glanced at Nangong Jie and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then I agree to let you go together."
There are many things about the Scorpion Sect, but she only heard from her master. She doesn’t know anyone from the Scorpion Sect. She only knows that the Scorpion Sect is in the mysterious Tianqi Mountain. The disciples of the Scorpion Sect don’t often show up. They seem to be indifferent, but once
If you show up, there will be a bloody storm.
The master told Duoduo that many years ago, people from all walks of life went up the mountain together to attack the Scorpio Sect, but they all ended up with no return. If this happens more often, no one would dare to go up the mountain rashly, for fear of losing their lives.
But going up the mountain this time was a last resort. Now that most of the princes and princes have fallen, people from the vassal states will definitely come to negotiate with them. Without understanding the reason, it is very likely to trigger a national war.
So the only way is to find an antidote and save the person, otherwise everything else is empty talk.
Tianqi Mountain towers into the clouds, and the mountain range stretches for more than ten miles. The three of them climbed up the mountain road and walked for most of the day, but they were still less than half the distance.
Both Duoduo and Nangong Jie began to pant, but the emperor still looked calm and calm, with steady and powerful steps, which showed his profound martial arts background.
"Why, you can't walk anymore?" Nangong Ming looked back at the two people behind him and said, "Try harder, you will recover quickly when your strength is exhausted, but time waits for no one, and there are so many people in the palace.
We can’t afford to waste this much time.”
After hearing the emperor's words, Duoduo was encouraged and said: "It's the emperor, we must work hard!"
The three of them gritted their teeth and kept walking all the way. Even when they ate dry food, they ate and walked. Probably because of their eagerness to save people, the emperor spoke very little along the way, so Duoduo and Nangong Jie were naturally also serious about their words.
It wasn't until it started to get dark that the three of them finally arrived at a place shrouded in clouds and mist, surrounded by lush green shadows, as if in a dream.
The large mansion named Scorpio Gate was located in such a scene, and they finally found it.
When walking along this road, Duoduo was extremely careful, always thinking that she would meet some thieves or something bad happen on the road, but she didn't expect that the road went so smoothly, which really surprised her.
"Stop, who is it?"
When the three of them approached the gate of the house, several men in well-dressed clothes suddenly jumped out and blocked the way: "You three are really ungrateful. You dare to break into the Scorpion Gate. I think you don't want to live anymore!"
"Stop talking nonsense, we are here to find-" Nangong Jie was anxious and wanted to explain his purpose directly, but Duoduo pulled him instead.
Duoduo said softly: "Let's not talk. The Emperor is responsible for everything."
"Yes." Nangong Ming nodded: "Everything depends on my eyes."
When the man saw that the three people not only had no intention of leaving, but were also whispering, he walked up to the three people, quickly pulled out his weapon, and put the knife on the three people's necks.
Nangong Ming said calmly and calmly: "Guys, I'm not here to make trouble, but to make a big deal with your sect leader."
"Big deal?" The guys looked up and down the clothes of the three of them and found that they were indeed quite impressive, especially Nangong Ming, who was wearing a gold-trimmed suit. How could ordinary people afford it?
"Wait a minute, let's go back and report first, don't mess around!" The men in well-dressed clothes said, put the knives back, and two of them quickly ran into the yard.
It was the time to fart. The person who went in to inform came out and said, "You three, please come in!"
Nangong Ming was careful and strode into the Scorpio Gate complex with Duoduo and Nangong Jie.
You don’t know if you haven’t been here, but you will be surprised when you come in. This Scorpio Gate is built in an inaccessible place. You can just build a few stone houses to live in. It’s so complicated. Who can show it?
The lush green lawn in the yard, the willows facing the wind, various plants that are indescribable, and the nondescript combinations made Duoduo who couldn't understand suddenly hear the name of a book: Cannon's head is also combed with thunder.
seams.
The courtyard is very big and deep, and there are many people. After entering the courtyard, there is a person guarding every two meters. The expressionless guy makes Duoduo look carefully at each entrance he passes by. Everyone feels familiar.
They all felt that he was one of the thieves who broke into the palace.
Following the guy who informed me, I walked through several thresholds before entering the real reception hall inside.
There are seven or eight people sitting in the hall. Judging from the situation, they are all people of some importance in the Scorpion Sect. Otherwise, they would not pretend to be like the emperor and have more airs than the emperor.
A guy who was the youngest and sat in the most remote place asked lazily: "Why, I heard that you want to make a big deal with our Scorpion Sect?"
Nangong Ming said bluntly: "I won't talk to the minions. May I ask who is the master of the sect?"
Duoduo was secretly surprised. Who could talk to others in such a tone in a strange place? Wouldn't that be courting death?
But this kind of tone came from the emperor's mouth, but he felt it was natural. If a king loses his due domineering power, then it will definitely be difficult to achieve anything.
"How dare you talk to me like that!" The guy who was underestimated suddenly stood up and shouted: "Believe it or not, I will let you die in this conference hall right away?"
Nangong Ming still looked calm and calm as he said, "You don't have that ability."
"Hahahaha..." A fat man sitting furthest in the back stood up and laughed loudly: "Your Excellency is really well-known. If you are not used to the world, how could you behave like this in my Scorpio Sect territory?
calm?"
Nangong Ming said: "Are you the sect leader?"
The fat man said: "Although I am not the sect leader, our sect leader is in seclusion, so I will take care of all the affairs of the Scorpion Sect."
"oh……"
The fat man said: "Tell me, what kind of business do you want to do when you come to the door in person? How much money do you bring with you? If the money is less than 80 million taels of silver, you should take it back."
Eighty million? This bastard might as well grab it, stupid! Duoduo was simply stunned, eighty million... No wonder the master said that people from the Scorpio Sect are very expensive.
Nangong Ming waved his hand, threw a bunch of things over and said, "How much do you think this is worth?"
The fat man stretched out his hand to catch it, looked at it carefully, his face changed and he said: "The Emperor's Nine Dragons Jade Seal!"
Everyone in the living room stood up when they heard this, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Who on earth are you? Why do you have the jade seal of the Nine-Fifth Master in your hand?" Another lanky guy walked over with a sinister look on his face.
Duoduo is not a good person at first glance. He has an invisible face and a snake-like gaze. In contrast, Fatty is much friendlier. These two people probably have the highest status among this group of people because they talk
At that time, everyone else just watched and no one dared to interrupt.
Nangong Ming said openly: "Great Southern Dynasty, Nangong Ming is the one!"
"What? You are actually the emperor!"
Everyone in the Scorpio Sect was stunned... "How dare you not kneel down when you see the emperor!"
Duoduo has been holding back for a long time, and now he finally has a chance to speak. Anyway, the emperor has already revealed his identity. If he doesn't shout a few words loudly to boost his momentum, how can he show his majesty as a king?
"Hahahaha..." The fat man laughed loudly and said: "This jade seal is real, yes, but I suspect that you are a fake emperor. What do you want to do when you come to Scorpio Gate?"
Nangong Ming said coldly: "No one has ever dared to doubt my identity!"
After saying that, Nangong Ming stepped forward in two steps, grabbed the cast iron incense burner placed in the middle of the living room with one hand, shouted loudly, and raised one hand above everyone's heads!
The fat man's face changed again. In fact, it was not just the fat man, but everyone was shocked. This cast iron incense burner was actually a large cauldron with a diameter of more than one meter. It was a triangular tripod. Not to mention that it was filled with incense ash, but it was empty.
It weighs five to six hundred kilograms.
And this middle-aged man actually lifted the stove over his head with one hand... The emperor of the Southern Dynasty had extraordinary arm strength and unparalleled martial arts. It was once said that Emperor Nangong single-handedly entered the enemy to rescue the general Situ Nan, who was surrounded by millions of enemy troops.
It's like entering a deserted place.
From today's perspective, there is no doubt that this man is Nangong Ming.
"The common people bow to the emperor!" The lanky guy led the people of his tribe to kneel to the ground at the same time and salute the king.
"Pingshen!" Nangong Ming helped the lanky guy up and said, "It's rare that you are willing to recognize me as the emperor. I finally did this for nothing."
Duoduo is very depressed. I really failed at seeing people today. I originally thought that the lanky guy was a bad guy, but no matter how bad he is, he still knows how to recognize his master.
As for the fat man, Duoduo thought he was friendly, but unexpectedly he finally showed his sinister side: "Humph, it's really the emperor, hahahahaha, you have a way of finding a way through iron shoes, it takes no effort at all, Nangong Ming
, your death has come!”
As soon as the fat man waved, hundreds of people suddenly rushed in from outside, holding various weapons, and surrounded Nangong Ming and the others.
Duoduo said angrily: "You are so brave, do you want to rebel?"
"Rebellion? Hahahahaha, this sentence may be useful for bluffing your stupid subjects, but it is useless for me, Fei Biao. Come and kill me!"
"I don't think anyone dares to move!" The lanky guy suddenly pulled out his weapon and stopped in front of Nangong Ming and said: "Although our Scorpion sect does not eat the royal salary, we also know that the king is the master of a country, and the people
It would be disrespectful to touch the Lord of all peoples!"
"Guardian Zuo, I think you are crazy!"
Slenderness and fatness are the guardians of Scorpios. No wonder others have to look at their faces to act.
Each of the two guardians had a group of supporters, and the differences between the guardians directly led to a sharp confrontation between them.
The fat man said: "Guardian Zuo, I think you are confused. Our Scorpion Sect is just doing business. As long as the other party can afford the price, we will do things for the other party. How can we have so much time to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil?
?If everything had to be done according to your way, our Scorpio Sect would have been starved to death!"
Slender said: "Humph, Protector Right, don't use forceful arguments. The sect owner has been in seclusion for so many years, and you have made the Scorpio Sect notorious. I will definitely fight you to the end today. You can't even think of hurting the Emperor!"
Duoduo suddenly realized that the bad reputation of the Scorpion Sect was all due to this fat man. From this point of view, the Scorpion Sect still belongs to righteous people, such as the protector Zuo.
There didn't seem to be as many people on the fat man's side as Guardian Zuo. If there was a fight, he would definitely not be able to take advantage, so he had to grit his teeth and say: "It's really your fault. Sooner or later, I will have to settle today's debt with you, hum!"
After the fat man finished speaking, he threw the Nine Dragons Jade Seal on the stage and strode out of the living room with his men.
Duoduo shouted proudly: "Hey, you damn fat man, don't run away if you have the guts. Come on, come on, I'll give you a try!"
Seeing that the fat man had left, Slender Man raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the common people are guilty, and you are frightened."
"Hey, no, no, it's rare that you understand justice so well. I still want to reward you."
"If you don't get rewarded for your merits, how can ordinary people be embarrassed? There is an emperor. What's the matter with coming to my Scorpio Sect this time?"
Duoduo said: "That's right, I almost forgot. We have to do business as soon as possible, Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Nangong Ming said: "Many princes of vassal states in the palace were bitten by black scorpions and their lives were in danger, so they came here to ask for the antidote!"
"What? Such a thing actually happened?" Guardian Zuo said angrily: "That damn fat man actually took over all the business and murdered the palace nobles. When the sect master comes out, I will report the truth truthfully! Someone, hurry up and kill him
Get the antidote."
"Yes, Protector Zuo!" A young man responded and ran out quickly.
Protector Zuo handed the jade seal back to Nangong Ming's hand, then poured two cups of tea himself and said: "Your Majesty, it is really an honor for the common people to have the opportunity to see my lord Long Yan with his own eyes today. It is a pity that time cannot delay it, so the common people have no choice but to
Let’s take tea instead of wine and offer a toast to the Emperor. I wish our Southern Dynasty will become increasingly prosperous!”
"Hahahaha... Okay, well said, refreshing!" Nangong smiled brightly, took the tea cup and drank.
Duoduo suddenly stretched out his hand and snatched the teacup, and poured it into the mouth of a Scorpio disciple beside him with lightning speed.
Nangong Ming said in surprise: "Duoduo, what are you doing?"
Duoduo looked at the guy she was giving tea to, and saw that he was fine... Well... she thought she was in trouble now, because just before the emperor was about to drink tea, she smelled the smell of farts.
The master said that when men do bad things, they often fart because of inner nervousness, so she thought the tea was poisonous... Unexpectedly, the tea was not poisonous, sweat... She blamed the good guy for wrong. In desperation, Duoduo had to apologize: "I'm sorry.
Protector Zuo, you also know that the emperor is the most powerful person and nothing can go wrong, so I did that out of caution, I hope you understand."
"Hahahaha... I understand, of course I understand this!" Slender Man laughed, hearing Duo Duo feel uncomfortable all over.
Suddenly, the guy who was fed the tea fell to the ground instantly, foaming at the mouth.
Duoduo's scalp is numb, damn, it turns out it's just that the poison doesn't take effect so quickly. This skinny guy is playing a double act with the fat guy just now!
