Jian Xilai repeatedly warned: "If such a big thing happens here, the palace master will definitely come in person, so you must wait until the palace master and Lao Er come back before letting Xuan'er show up."
Jian Yun said with some worry: "City Lord, what if the Palace Lord sees the situation of our Jian family and has other thoughts? Will he support your arrangement?"
Jian Xilai said in a deep voice: "Lao Er's cultivation level is there. Moreover, the palace master's current plan to conquer the barbarians requires Lao Er. He will not attack the Jian family at this time."
Jian Yun looked at Jian Qingxuan, who was kneeling on the ground, crying so hard, and asked cruelly: "City Lord, I don't understand, why don't you let the second master take over the giant sword city first? The young lady is in charge now.
, I’m afraid no one will convince her.”
"Do you think I haven't thought about it?" Jian Xilai said with a bitter smile: "It's not that you don't know that he has no ambition here and only yearns for the barbarians. He can't settle down and stay in Jusword City. It's not like you don't know his temper.
Understand, no one can force him."
Jian Yun sighed, his face full of regret.
"That's okay. Having the second child intimidating Xiaoxiao secretly will also help Xuan'er."
Jian Xilai coughed twice and said with a regretful expression: "It's a pity that the husband I just chose for Xuan'er is alive. With his cultivation, as long as he treats Xuan'er sincerely, he will definitely be able to support Xuan'er in her seat."
The position of the Lord of Great Sword City."
Although Jian Yun did not ask Jian Yun about Chu Tianshu's situation, Jian Yun just said that everyone except Jian Qingxuan had been poisoned, so he felt there was no need to ask specifically, even he was poisoned like this
Yes, Chu Tianshu drank much more than him today. Is the situation likely to be better?
Jian Yun has been busy with Jian Xilai and Jian Qingxuan for the past half day, and he really doesn't pay much attention to others.
When Jian Xilai mentioned Chu Tianshu, he suddenly realized that there was an uncle.
Jian Yun patted his forehead: "I was so busy that I didn't even bother to check on my uncle..."
"It's not important anymore."
Jian Xilai spat out two mouthfuls of blood again, grabbed Jian Qingxuan, and shouted with great effort: "Xuan'er."
Jian Xilai warned: "Grandpa Yun will take you to a place later. You will stay there until your second grandfather and the palace master arrive. No matter what happens outside, you are not allowed to show your face. Listen."
Have you arrived yet?"
Jian Qingxuan sobbed and nodded: "Xuan'er heard it."
Jian Xilai straightened up and seemed to be in much better spirits. He stroked Jian Qingxuan's head and asked, "Xuan'er, I remember that before everyone was poisoned, you followed Dou Chengfang out of the dining hall. What happened at that time?"
Jian Qingxuan held Jian Xilai's hand tightly, as if Jian Xilai would disappear if she let go.
She sniffed and said, "Sister Dou said her senior brother wanted to give me a gift, so I went out with her."
"Zhan Pingyuan wants to give you a gift?"
Jian Xilai and Jian Yun's eyes met, and then asked: "You mean that when the accident happened, both brothers and sisters Zhan Pingyuan and Dou Chengfang were with you?"
Jian Qingxuan shook his head: "Before I saw Zhan Pingyuan, there was in the dining hall..."
Her face turned pale and she said no more.
She didn't even dare to think about the miserable scene in the dining hall.
Jian Xilai frowned and pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Lao Yun, it is not appropriate for too many people to know where Xuan'er is hiding. You will inevitably have to deal with various things in the future. During this period, let Dou Chengfang take care of Xuan'er."
Jian Yun glanced at Jian Xilai in surprise, and then asked cautiously: "When this happens, do we have to let Dou Chengfang keep the secret of the tunnel forever?"
Jian Qingxuan's bright eyes flickered, looking at Jian Yun and then at Jian Xilai.
She didn't understand. What kind of tunnel? What secret? No matter how hard she listened, she couldn't understand it.
Jian Xilai exhaled a long breath: "If she is sincerely protecting Xuan'er, there is no need...if not, how to deal with it when the time comes is also Xuan'er's business..."
At this point, his voice suddenly stopped and his head drooped.
Jian Qingxuan faintly realized what had happened, and his whole body was shaken for an instant.
Her lips were trembling, and she slowly raised her head to look at Jian Xilai. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't cry at all, but her whole body was shaking more and more violently.
Jian Yun also noticed the abnormality of Jian Xilai, and softly called out: "City Lord...City Lord..."
He gently put his hand in front of Jian Xilai's mouth and nose, and felt that Jian Xilai had made no sound at all.
Jian Qingxuan pushed Jian Yun's hand away, suppressed his emotions, and hissed: "Grandpa Yun, don't touch him, my grandpa is asleep..."
"He is very tired." Jian Qingxuan gradually broke down in tears, "Let's not wake him up and let him have a good sleep. He... he will be fine..."
Jian Yun's cheeks were tense and his eyes were filled with tears.
He clenched his fists and fell to his knees, touching his head to the ground.
Then, Jian Yun quickly stood up, stepped forward and pulled Jian Qingxuan up: "Let's go quickly, I want to hide you before anyone with evil intentions knows about the death of the city lord."
Jian Qingxuan grabbed Jian Xilai's hand and cried sadly: "Master..."
However, as soon as she opened her mouth, Jian Yun covered her mouth and said in her ear: "Miss Qingxuan, don't let the city lord's hard work go in vain."
Jian Qingxuan nodded, biting her lips tightly and letting out suppressed sobs.
…
In Jian Cuilian's bedroom, she huddled at the foot of the bed, wrapped in a quilt, but she still felt cold all over.
She couldn't help but tremble when she thought of the tragic situation in the dining hall.
In such a long life, it was the first time for her to experience such a tragic scene.
What's more, the people around her died, including her husband.
Jian Cuilian hugged the quilt and said to herself in an almost inaudible voice: "Didn't you take the antidote? Why did you die...Why did Ting Guang die..."
The poison at the banquet can be divided into two steps.
One step was when Jian Cuilian found a way to get into the wine, and the other step was when Jian Zhong released the green smoke.
Only drinking alcohol and inhaling green smoke will cause poisoning.
Jian Cuilian knew that the wine was poisonous, so naturally she would not drink it, and she also told her children not to drink it.
But if her whole family didn't drink, I'm afraid it would also arouse suspicion.
So before the banquet, Jian Cuilian went to Zhan Pingyuan to discuss it. Zhan Pingyuan gave Jian Cuilian a packet of medicinal powder, saying it was an antidote.
Jian Cuilian also tried her best to give Jian Tingguang the medicine before the banquet.
She originally thought that her family would be fine, but she didn't expect that Jian Tingguang would die in the end.
At this time, there were rapid footsteps outside the door.
Jian Cuilian trembled all over and asked in a trembling voice: "Who?"
