Zhao Xianlong grabbed Qin Haodong's hand fiercely: "Young man, you didn't lie to me, did you? Can you really cure my disease?"
He had secretly visited many doctors before, but very few of them could see the maggots attached to his bones, let alone detoxify him and treat his illness.
Qin Haodong nodded, "I don't have to lie to you."
Zhao Xianlong said with a face of ecstasy: "Well, when will we start treatment?"
He has been tortured by this maggot attached to his bones for many years, and now that he finally sees hope, his heart is naturally filled with ecstasy.
"That's it now!"
Qin Haodong asked Zhao Xianlong to take off all his clothes, leaving only a pair of shorts, and lie face up on the bed.
Then he took out silver needles and pierced his two soles, then his ankles, knees, and lower abdomen, all the way up.
In a short time, Zhao Xianlong's body was covered with dense silver needles.
Strange to say, as the needle penetrated, a red line slowly moved up here. This was the bone-attached maggot hidden in the bone marrow.
Although this thing was extremely cunning and difficult to control when it wandered around, Qin Haodong used silver needles to block its path bit by bit and slowly forced it upward.
As time went by, the range that the red line could move became smaller and smaller, and finally entered Zhao Xianlong's head.
Qin Haodong began to use silver needles to pierce his Baihui, Fengchi and other major points, and finally forced the maggots attached to his bones to the point where he choked his throat.
If it were before, he could only do this at most, and it would be very difficult to completely force the bone-attached maggots out of his body.
Once this thing finds that there is no way out, it will go on a rampage, possibly causing Zhao Xianlong to explode and die.
But things are different now. He has the best helper, a three-legged golden toad that contains the blood of the dragon clan.
After all preparations were made, Qin Haodong suddenly summoned the three-legged golden toad.
"Guga..."
This guy is now at the top of the seventh-level magic beast, and he immediately let out an earth-shattering roar after coming out.
The three-legged golden toad has the blood of the dragon clan and has a huge deterrent effect on other low-level monsters. The bone-attached maggot is also a mutated monster.
So when the three-legged golden toad appeared, the bone-attached maggot hidden in the throat suddenly trembled with fear.
What Qin Haodong wanted was this opportunity. He reached out and slapped Zhao Xianlong on the chest. The invisible green wood energy shook out the maggots attached to his bones, and a bright red maggot suddenly spurted out from Zhao Xianlong's mouth.
He raised a glass bottle that he had prepared with his left hand and directly put the bone-attached maggot in. The maggot entered the glass bottle and kept fluttering, trying to rush out.
It's a pity that this thing is extremely powerful inside the human body, and once it comes out, it won't have much power.
Although Zhao Xingyue was much bolder now, when she saw the maggot attached to the bone, she couldn't help but take two steps back and shouted with disgust: "This thing is really disgusting."
Zhao Xianlong was in a different mood. He had been troubled by the maggots attached to his bones for many years, and now he was overjoyed to see that this thing was finally forced out.
Zhao Xingyue said: "Brother Qin, this thing is so disgusting. It's better to get rid of it as soon as possible."
"It's not time to kill it yet." Qin Haodong shook his head and said, "If this thing is still alive, Wu Yueniang will not be aware of it.
Once the maggots attached to the bones are killed, they will immediately be alert, and it will be difficult for the king to deal with them again."
"Haodong is right."
After getting rid of the poisonous bugs in his body, Zhao Xianlong suddenly became much closer to Qin Haodong, and even his title changed.
He said: "Haodong, what do you think I should do?"
Qin Haodong said: "Before you are ready to take action, not only cannot you kill the maggots attached to the bones, but you must also carry them with you at all times so that they will not be noticed by those people."
"That's right, I'll do it your way."
Since the bone-attached maggots in the glass bottle looked a bit disgusting, Zhao Xianlong took a yellow silk handkerchief, wrapped the glass bottle, and put it into his pocket.
He glanced at the majestic three-legged golden toad standing next to him. Even though he was a strong man in the Dzogchen realm, this monster still brought enough pressure to him.
"Is this the spiritual beast you raised? It looks so powerful."
"That's right, it is my three-legged golden toad. It has part of the dragon bloodline, so it was able to suppress the maggots attached to the bones just now. Otherwise, it would be really troublesome."
Qin Haodong said and put the three-legged golden toad back into the spirit beast bag.
Seeing that everything was taken care of, Zhao Xingyue asked: "Father, when did that bitch give you the poisonous insect, and what happened?"
Zhao Xianlong sighed, asked both of them to sit down, and then said: "To be honest, although there are many concubines in the palace, I have only loved two women in my life, one is your mother, and the other is Wu Yueniang.
I just didn’t expect that this woman seemed to be virtuous and virtuous, but in fact she was as vicious as a snake. She not only harmed your mother, but also killed your brothers and sisters.”
Zhao Xingyue said emotionally: "Father, since you already know, why don't you kill that bitch to avenge my mother?"
"Things are not as simple as you think." Zhao Xianlong said, "This woman is extremely insidious. She colluded with Sun Chengdu, the national division commander, and did everything silently. In addition, I like her very much, and I have no doubts about her.
.
It wasn't until she killed your last brother that I realized something was wrong, but by that time she had already infected me with maggots attached to my bones.
At that time, if I attacked her, we would both suffer losses. If they died, I would die.
In fact, I don't care much about death, but the Xuanwu royal family was passed down from my ancestors, and I can't let my ancestors' inheritance be ruined in the palm of my hand.
Wu Yueniang and Changsun Chengdu also saw this point clearly, and finally reached an agreement between us.
They give me the antidote for the maggots that attach to my bones every month, and I promise to pass the throne to the prince Zhao Yu when he reaches 20 years old."
Qin Haodong said: "My lord, there is one thing I don't understand. Why don't they just use the bone-attached maggots to kill you, and then sit on the throne themselves? Why do they have to wait so long?"
A flash of light flashed in Zhao Xianlong's eyes: "I am not a fool, how can I let them have power so easily.
Although Sun Chengdu, the national division commander, is now in a high position, he still cannot control the entire Xuanwu Kingdom. More than half of the power is still in my hands.
I have given a secret order to my trusted generals. If I die suddenly, regardless of the cause of death, my eldest grandson Chengdu and Wu Yueniang will be killed directly.
So once they attack me, no one can take advantage of it, so they might as well wait for Prince Zhao Yu to succeed to the throne."
Zhao Xingyue said: "But father, once you lose the throne, they will immediately attack you."
Zhao Xianlong said: "Why should I face your mother and the lost children? As long as I can ensure the inheritance left by the Zhao family's ancestors, it doesn't matter whether I die or not."
"Father, you still have me, you can't die!" Zhao Xingyue said, "Now that Haodong has helped you get rid of the maggots attached to your bones, now we can kill that bitch Wu Yueniang and the eldest grandson Chengdu."
Zhao Xianlong waved his hand and said: "It's not as simple as you think.
Over the years, Changsun Chengdu has been quietly accumulating strength. Although most of the people in the Xuanwu Kingdom are still loyal to me, a small number of them have also been won over by him.
Moreover, he is also a master in the Mahayana stage. For a master of this level, if he cannot kill with one blow, there will be endless troubles.
If I openly start a war with them now, even if I can get rid of the eldest grandson Chengdu and Wu Yueniang, the Xuanwu Kingdom will be severely damaged.
The Lingwu Continent is not at peace now. Among the four kingdoms, the Xuanwu Kingdom is the weakest, and the other three kingdoms are eyeing us. Once we commit suicide again, I am afraid they will send troops to us immediately."
As the head of the Xuanwu Kingdom, he still has a long-term vision.
Zhao Xingyue said anxiously: "But we can't endure it forever, otherwise when will the revenge of our mother and brothers and sisters be avenged?"
Zhao Xianlong said: "A small impatience will mess up a big plan. Revenge must be avenged and one must wait for the right time."
Knowing that his father was right, although he hated Wu Yueniang deeply, Zhao Xingyue could only temporarily suppress the hatred in his heart.
Zhao Xianlong said to Qin Haodong: "Haodong, thank you for getting rid of a serious problem for me this time. What reward do you want? If you want to be an official, I will make you an official immediately.
If you want property, as long as our Xuanwu Kingdom can get it, I will not be stingy."
Although Wu Yueniang and Changsun Chengdu could not be eradicated yet, they had successfully taken the first step, so he was indeed extremely grateful to the young man in front of him.
"Your Majesty, since you are generous enough, I will not be polite." Qin Haodong said, "I am not interested in being an official, and I don't want money. I just want the same reward as your Majesty."
Zhao Xianlong was slightly stunned: "Could it be that you want Princess Xingyue from me? If it were before, I would have promised you immediately, but now that the news of the contest for marriage has spread throughout the kingdom, I can't break my promise."
"That's not what I'm talking about." Qin Haodong said, "Your Majesty, I heard that there is an important treasure in the Xuanwu Kingdom called the Xuanyin Gathering Furnace."
After hearing this, Zhao Xianlong's expression suddenly changed, and he waved his hands decisively and said: "This is absolutely not possible. The Xuanyin Gathering Furnace is the foundation of the Xuanwu Kingdom, and it will never be rewarded to you."
Qin Haodong said: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I do not want the Xuanyin Gathering Evil Furnace."
Zhao Xianlong asked: "What do you mean?"
Qin Haodong said: "I just want to borrow it once to refine a weapon."
"Oh!" After hearing that it was only used once, Zhao Xianlong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."
Although the resources of Xuanyin Gathering Furnace are scarce, it is not a war time, so it is not a big deal to lend it to Qin Haodong for one use.
Qin Haodong was overjoyed. With the Xuanyin Gathering Furnace, he could refine the bullets in his storage ring.
Zhao Xianlong asked again: "By the way, you haven't told me what happened tonight? Don't say it has nothing to do with you."
Zhao Xingyue said: "Father, why do you ask this? What happened today is obviously that bitch Wu Yueniang committed adultery with Xiahou Hongxiang. What does it have to do with Brother Qin?"
Zhao Xianlong said: "I know Wu Yueniang very well. Although this woman is vicious-hearted, she has extremely high vision. There is no way she would like Xiahou Hongxiang, let alone have an affair with this person when I go to her palace every day."
"This..." Zhao Xingyue asked doubtfully, "If this is the case, why did you kill Xiahou Hongxiang?"
Zhao Xianlong said: "No matter what, they did commit such a scandal, and Xiahou Hongxiang is from Changsun Chengdu. Killing him can effectively reduce the strength of Changsun Chengdu. Of course I will not let go of this opportunity."
Qin Haodong smiled and said: "Your Majesty is indeed wise."
"You kid, stop flattering me." Zhao Xianlong was in a very good mood and said cheerfully, "Tell me quickly, how did that woman Wu Yueniang get plotted by you?"
