Zhang Qian and Wu Jian hurriedly escorted Long Chen out of Qianjiang County and quickly arrived at the military camp.
"Sir, how do you know the drink is poisonous?"
Zhang Qian asked strangely.
Just now, Long Chen asked her to test the poison. Zhang Qian thought that Long Chen was deliberately looking for trouble, but she didn't expect that it was really poisonous.
Long Chen said: "At the breakfast stall, someone gave me a note saying that there was something wrong with the cook in the back office of the governor's office."
Wu Jian was surprised and said: "Someone tipped off the news? Who is it?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know, the only ones who will help us at this time are the Holy Shadow Guards and Xichang, but it shouldn't be them."
The empress intended to test Long Chen and would never send anyone to help.
As for Xichang, if Feng He knew about it, he would tell Long Chen directly, why bother taking off his pants and farting to pretend to be sophisticated?
Zhang Qian said: "Then who poisoned me?"
Long Chen thought for a while and said: "The person who poisoned was either the secret guard or the Imperial City Division. In comparison, the Imperial City Division is better at poisoning, so the cook is probably from the Imperial City Division."
"The Imperial City Secretary poisoned me to kill me, and the people at the breakfast stall wanted to ruin the Imperial City Secretary's good deeds, so..."
Wu Jian immediately answered: "So, he is the son of Li Chengtong, the prince of Nanliang."
Long Chen nodded slightly and said: "This is the only explanation."
Li Yuanying coveted the position of prince, which was known to everyone, and the two were hostile.
Zhang Qian asked: "Will it ruin our plan?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "He helped us."
Zhang Qian asked doubtfully: "Help us?"
Long Chen said: "Have a good rest tonight, we will have a big fight tomorrow!"
....
Inside the city, the Governor's Mansion.
Several doctors entered the houya and worked together to detoxify Xu Zhi and Wang Zhong. Yuan Tengfei was glad that he hesitated just now and did not drink the wine.
Xu Zhi coughed up several mouthfuls of black blood in succession. The doctor gave him an antidote to gargle, and his condition gradually improved.
Wang Zhong was very serious. He drank the wine and fell into a coma.
Chen Zu was so anxious that Xu Zhi and Wang Zhong were poisoned, and his life was in danger.
Yuan Tengfei calmed down and began to wonder what was going on.
There is poison in the wine, who poisoned it? Long Chen? It shouldn't be right, this is their territory, how could Long Chen have the chance to poison it?
But if it’s not Long Chen, then it’s... Chen Zu?
Yuan Tengfei suddenly grabbed Chen Zu and cursed angrily: "You want to poison us!"
Chen Zu was so frightened that he cried out: "Second Grandfather, I am wronged. How could I have the courage? I almost drank the poisonous wine even though I was young."
Yuan Tengfei asked: "Who cooked this food? Call everyone out!"
Chen Zu immediately called everyone in the kitchen to stand in a row, and Yuan Tengfei interrogated them one by one. However, these people were all old people and their accomplices, so there was no problem.
"Grandma, if you don't tell me which one of you poisoned me, I will send all your family members to Ghost Island!"
Yuan Tengfei slapped the table and cursed.
One of the cooks said tremblingly: "Second Grandfather, there is actually an old cook. He went out just now. I suspect that he poisoned me."
Another cook's wife also said: "We have always been fine, but something went wrong when he came here. It must be his problem."
Chen Zu remembered it, grabbed the servant in charge of the kitchen, and said: "You found a cook last night, is it that one?"
The yamen servant had long thought that it might be the old man, so he kept silent.
"Sir, I don't know."
The yamen servant shivered.
Chen Zu insisted and said: "Second Grandfather is the old cook, it must be him!"
Yuan Tengfei said angrily: "Go and capture him quickly and bring him back for interrogation!"
Chen Zu immediately took people out to search.
....
In a single room at the Market Inn.
The prison guard Zhang Peng hurried into the room, and the prison guard Hou Ping was waiting for the news to come back.
"How about it?"
Although Hou Ping was anxious inside, his tone was calm.
Zhang Peng shook his head slightly and said: "That Long Chengen was too cautious. He used a silver needle to test the poison before drinking, but he didn't drink."
"On the contrary, it's Xu Zhi and Wang Zhong. They drank it and are detoxifying."
Hou Ping nodded and said: "It's normal. How can it be so easy to succeed?"
"It's a good thing that Xu Zhi and Wang Zhong were poisoned, so as not to disrupt the situation."
"Continue to look for opportunities and follow the plan."
Zhang Peng took the order and left the room.
....
Origin Inn.
The lean lieutenant entered the room, and Wuming was looking at the street view through the crack in the window.
"General, the people from the Imperial City Department made a mistake and poisoned Xu Zhi and Wang Zhong."
Wuming retracted his gaze and said with a smile: "The Imperial City Division is the best at poisoning, how could he fail?"
The deputy general said doubtfully: "I'm also surprised. Since they took action, they were sure of it. How could they miss it?"
Wuming said: "Yesterday there was another failed assassination attempt. People from the Shui Division tried to assassinate him in the river, but three of them were killed."
Wuming already knew this.
The deputy general also said: "We used to think that the Imperial City Division was difficult to deal with, but why did it become so difficult when we met Long Chengen?"
Wuming snorted and sneered: "Didn't our General's Mansion also have great glory before? What about now?"
The lieutenant was silent.
It seems that those who oppose Long Chen will end up miserable in the end, no matter how awesome they were before.
Shangguan Wei, Jing Tianlie, and now the Imperial City Secretary.
"So we must kill Long Chengen and eliminate the trouble for the general."
The deputy general said decisively.
Wuming nodded slightly, that's what he meant.
....
Inside the Governor's Mansion.
The best doctors in the city were busy until late at night. Wang Zhong finally woke up, but his body was very weak and he vomited a pool of blood from time to time.
Xu Zhi's condition is a little better, but his voice is almost hoarse.
Chen Zu came back from outside with his people and said in frustration: "Grandpa Sanzu, that old cook seems to have disappeared. No one can be found at all."
Yuan Tengfei stood up and slapped Chen Zu so hard that he pulled onions from the dry land. He flew up and hit a pillar hard.
"No matter who they are, if they dare to attack us, they will die!"
Yuan Tengfei cursed fiercely.
Although Xu Zhi was poisoned, he was still relatively calm and said in a hoarse voice: "This poisoning does not seem to be aimed at us. Their target is Long Chengen."
Yuan Tengfei said: "No matter who their original target was, we were the ones poisoned in the end, and this revenge must be avenged!"
The bald Fayin next to him had been listening and said at this time: "The problem is that we don't know who poisoned the person."
"If you want to know the identity of the other party, I think you have to ask Long Chengen. He must know who wants to poison him."
Xu Zhi nodded slightly: "Master Fayin is right. I got news this morning that Long Chengen suffered an assassination yesterday."
"These assassins failed to kill Long Chen, so they poisoned the food."
"So, if you want to know the identities of these assassins, you must ask Long Chengen."
Long Chen was stationed outside the city, and they must have people monitoring him. They also knew about Long Chen's assassination.
Sima Dou Yufei was a little angry and said: "We have all been harmed by Long Chengen!"
Xu Zhi shook his head slightly and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. The most important thing for us now is revenge. We will ask Long Chengen early tomorrow morning who is hiding in the dark."
