Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know where the assassin was. He didn't know whether he should be disappointed or grateful.
The skills of these assassins are too strong, and their weapons are quenched with poison. Once they fight, we will suffer many casualties on our side.
"Xiling, yesterday, you said these assassins might be from the Yiqi Sect?"
Xu Xiling looked at Liu Xiu in surprise. When she was talking to Liu Yan last night, Liu Xiu was already poisoned. Unexpectedly, he was still awake at the time and heard the conversation between her and Liu Yan.
She nodded solemnly and whispered: "Master, this is just my suspicion."
Since the poison on Liu Xiu's body had been resolved, Xu Xiling now had to wonder if she had made a mistake. If the other party was really a member of the Yiqi Sect, the poison used was really Yama, and it could not be resolved so easily.
However, Liu Xiu knew very well that there was only one reason why he was able to survive without dying, because the golden liquid protected his body. Liu Xiu liked reading, especially after returning from Yizhou, he had read many Taoist books.
Now he was basically certain that the bottle of liquid he drank in the cave was the Taoist treasure - golden liquid.
The gold liquid changed his body, not only greatly strengthening his physique, but also making him invulnerable to all evil.
If he was just poisoned by ordinary poison, his body would not have such a strong reaction at all. It was precisely because the poison used by the other party was so overbearing that it tortured him for a whole night.
Because of the gold liquid protecting his body, he could not stop breathing. It was precisely because of this that he was tortured to a terrible state.
The gold liquid in his body and the poison that invaded from outside were fighting everywhere in his body, turning his body into a battlefield. Not only was his vitality severely damaged, but his meridians and internal organs were also severely injured.
Liu Xiu looked at Xu Xiling and asked, "If they are really from the Yiqi clan, how should I deal with them?"
Xu Xiling was shocked and looked at Liu Xiu blankly. After a moment, she shook her head and said: "Impossible! They can't be disciples of the Yiqi Sect! If the lord is chosen by Yama Luo Tang, the lord will now..."
"It's impossible to still be alive, right?" Liu Xiu's mouth moved, and he said feebly: "What if I told you that I once took a Taoist treasure and my body was invulnerable to all poisons?"
Hearing these words, Xu Xiling's body was shaken, and her hazy and charming eyes suddenly widened. The fog in her eyes also dissipated, replaced by a clear and transparent one.
She stayed for a long time before asking in a trembling voice: "I wonder what kind of Taoist treasure my lord has conquered?"
Liu Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "It's a treasure similar to gold liquid."
According to Taoism, after taking gold liquid, even a mortal can grow wings on his back and ascend to immortality. He is still a mortal, which means that the gold liquid he drank is not pure Taoist gold liquid.
Xu Xiling came from Taoism, so he naturally knew how precious liquid gold was. It only existed in legends, and there was no such thing in the world.
She was stunned for a while, and then said quietly: "If the other party is really a disciple of the Yi Qi Sect, then... then the Lord must be more careful in the future. If the Yi Qi Sect's operation fails this time, they will definitely wait for an opportunity to attack again. "
Liu Xiu asked: "How can we deal with them?"
Xu Xiling shook his head and said: "No one knows where their home base is. There are rumors that it is in the East China Sea, there are rumors that it is in the South China Sea, and there are rumors that it is in the Tianshan Snow Realm, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that Xi Ling can't understand why the lord could have enmity with the Yi Qi Clan?"
Liu Xiu lowered his eyes, and Xu Xiling poured him a bowl of water again and helped him drink it. Liu Xiu breathed a comfortable breath and murmured: "Perhaps, someone wants to use the hands of Yi Qimen to kill me.
!”
"Who is...?"
"Liu Xiu! Imperial Master Liu Xiu!" Liu Xiu said.
In the past, Liu Xiu had not rebelled, he was just an ordinary peasant, and he could still use the prophecy of "Red Fu Fu" to blackmail the Imperial Preceptor. After all, the Imperial Preceptor was more likely to become the emperor than a country boy like him.
And now that he has joined his eldest brother in revolt, the prophecy in "Chi Fu Fu" can no longer threaten the imperial master, but it has further confirmed that he is the Liu Xiu in the prophecy who can be the emperor.
Therefore, the person who wants to kill him the most now is not Wang Mang, but the national counselor Liu Xiu. With the ability of the national counselor Liu Xiu, it is not impossible to hook up with the Yiqi clan and ask the Yiqi clan to do something for him.
Seeing Xu Xiling looking at him blankly, Liu Xiu asked with a wry smile: "Has Xiling ever heard of "Red Fu Fu"?"
Xu Xiling's eyes flashed and he said: "If Xiling remembers correctly, the Chi Fu Talisman should be the prophecy talisman?"
Liu Xiu nodded, with a flash of admiration in his eyes. Xu Xiling's knowledge was profound! He said sternly: "There is a prophecy in "Red Fu Fu", Liu Xiu sent troops to capture the enemy, and the four barbarians gathered in Long Dou Ye.
On the occasion of the seventh day, fire is the main force. Liu Xiu, the national preceptor, wants to be the Liu Xiu in the prophecy, and I, Liu Xiu, am the biggest threat to him as long as I am still alive..." He then told the past history between himself and the national preceptor.
I briefly told Xu Xiling.
To put people to death for an illusory prophecy is undoubtedly absurd now, but at that time, people believed deeply in metaphysics, and some even used metaphysics to rise from ordinary people to the throne.
The emperor almost kicked Liu Xiu into hell. This is all a story for later.
Xu Xiling didn't know that there was such a grudge and entanglement between the lord Liu Xiu and the national master Liu Xiu. After listening to Liu Xiu's explanation, Xu Xiling finally understood why the disciples of the Yiqi Sect came to find the lord and suddenly killed him.
She frowned and said: "The national preceptor Liu Xiu is a master of Chuwei and a Taoist master. It is said that he has always been on good terms with the Yiqimen. If the national preceptor comes forward and asks the Yiqimen to kill the master, then the whole thing will be solved.
That makes sense."
She looked at Liu Xiu, sighed softly, and said: "Looking at it this way, the root of the whole matter lies with the Imperial Preceptor. As long as the Imperial Preceptor is still alive, the matter will be endless. Only the Imperial Preceptor is dead.
Everything will be solved easily."
It is too difficult to eradicate the Yi Qi Clan. The main reason is that they don’t even know where the Yi Qi Clan’s home base is. They can’t find it even if they want to find it. However, it would be too easy to find the Imperial Master. He is in the capital.
He lives in the Imperial Master's Mansion.
She pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, Xi Ling plans to go to the capital for a trip."
Liu Xiu could guess what she was going to do in the capital without asking, so she refused simply, shook her head and said, "No, the Imperial Master is not that easy to deal with. It is impossible for you to kill him with your own strength."
Xu Xiling looked at Liu Xiu, lowered her head and fell into deep thought. After a while, an idea flashed in her mind, and she raised her head and said, "Master, I can ask my senior sister for help."
"Senior sister?"
"Senior Sister Xi Ling Youwei is currently in the capital. Maybe you can get close to the Imperial Master. Even if you can't kill him, you can get a lot of information from him!" Xu Xi Ling said excitedly.
Liu Xiu asked curiously: "What does your senior sister do in the capital?"
"Senior sister runs a brothel in the capital."
"..." Liu Xiu was speechless and sighed in her heart again. The apprentices taught by Xu Xiling's master, Mr. Yichen, were really... extraordinary.
