Xia Shang was very familiar with this black giant sword, so he didn't panic. He slowly turned around and looked at Fusheng calmly.
Fu Sheng also stared at Xia Shang silently, and neither of them made a sound for a long time.
Xia Shang didn't know what Fu Sheng was thinking, and he couldn't say anything.
After waiting for a while, Fusheng took out a small kit from his clothes with his other hand.
When Xia Shang was about to ask him what he meant, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell from this little bag of tips.
It’s actually rosemary pollen…
No! It's not just the smell of rosemary pollen, it's also mixed with some other indistinguishable flavors.
"I have already collected some of the things you want to investigate. Don't move this coffin." Fusheng whispered.
Xia Shang frowned and wanted to say something more, but Fusheng said again: "This is not the place to talk. Let's change to another place."
Xia Shang hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Xia Shang quietly left the military camp with Fu Sheng and stayed in an inn in Xuzhou City.
After arriving in the room and closing the doors and windows, Xia Shang asked, "What do you mean?"
Fusheng discovered the giant sword and threw the previous tips directly to Xia Shang: "I found this from the prince's personal clothes. Because I don't understand pharmacology, I can't find anything from it. But this is your expertise, I guess
Can we find any clues from it?"
Xia Shang did not open the bag of tips, but solemnly asked: "Is Li Xin really dead?"
Fu Sheng was a little surprised and looked at Xia Shang in surprise. After a while, he nodded.
"What are the specific details? Did you see anything?"
"Because the bandit who escaped told the prince about the detailed layout of the Japanese pirates' camp, and our Xuzhou army was equipped with the swords and bows you brought, we caught the Japanese pirates by surprise in that battle and lost hundreds of people, killing
We defeated 5,000 Japanese pirates. After this great defeat, the remaining Japanese pirates who besieged Xuzhou lost their fighting spirit. Later, they began to secretly prepare to evacuate, but were discovered by our people. The prince made a decisive decision and led his army to pursue them.
That is to say, we encountered an ambush by Japanese pirates during the pursuit. It was dark at the time and the situation was very chaotic. We did not know exactly how many enemies there were. I was also pestered by several Japanese warriors and did not watch.
As for the specific situation, I only heard someone shouting that the prince was dead during the battle. At that time, I thought it was the enemy who was disturbing the morale of the troops. Later, after dawn, the Japanese pirates gradually dispersed, and I saw the prince's body."
"Really dead?" Xia Shang murmured, "Is it so unclear? Didn't it mean that he exchanged one life with the leader of the Japanese pirates?"
Fu Sheng sneered: "Ha... that was just a story made up to make the prince's death more dignified. It is true that several Japanese pirate generals died around the prince, but were they the main figures or leaders of the Japanese pirate army?
, who knows?”
It can be seen that Fu Sheng has some respect for Li Xin and can be regarded as one of the most loyal people around Li Xin.
Li Xin's death was more difficult to let go than Xia Shang's. Now that I saw Xia Shang, I didn't care where Xia Shang came back from or what he had experienced during these years.
He just hoped that Xia Shang would find something from that bag of tips.
After a simple exchange, Xia Shang noticed that Fu Sheng was still staring at the kit in his hand.
At that moment, Xia Shang said nothing more and sat down to open the bag of tips.
There is nothing else in the kit, just a paper bag.
When the small paper package was opened, there was only a very small amount of white powder inside, no more than a fingernail.
The smell of rosemary smells from a distance, but when you get closer, you will find that there is also a hint of medicinal fragrance.
Xia Shang didn't ask any questions, just scraped off a little bit and put it in his mouth.
Fusheng was startled and whispered: "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of death?"
"Ordinary poisons are not of much use to me. And I am relatively familiar with this powder."
"Do you really know this?"
"This product uses rosemary pollen as its raw material, so no matter what kind of drug is prepared, it must have some nerve-numbing effect. And such a drug will definitely not be fatal when used to harm people, and its purpose is more
It is mostly used to influence people’s judgment inadvertently.”
Xia Shang said lightly, then narrowed his eyes and felt it carefully.
Not long after, Xia Shang said: "In addition to paralyzing the nerves, this medicinal powder will also have a certain impact on the warrior's true energy. Where did you find it?"
"
The powder scraped off the prince’s clothes.”
"The powder scraped off the prince's clothes?" Xia Shang couldn't help but repeat, "Does that mean the smell I suddenly smelled in that tent was correct?"
"I know you know a lot about medicine. I knew what you were going to do when I saw your actions in the tent. So, I stopped you because I already have what you suspected, and you don't need to disturb the prince anymore.
rest."
Xia Shang frowned: "How did you find me?"
"It's not that I discovered you, but that you took the initiative to appear in my field of vision."
"You have been guarding Li Xin's body."
Fusheng nodded.
"You are so cautious, are you suspecting something? Do you think the prince's death is not that simple?"
"Although I don't know what these medicinal powders are, there is one thing that makes me very suspicious."
"What?" Xia Shang became serious. Compared with other people's words, his floating suspicion was more convincing.
"The battlefield was so chaotic that no one could tell who it was, but the prince was besieged by Japanese pirate masters. Judging from the scene after the battlefield, the prince must have been in great trouble, as many Japanese pirates died around him
Samurai. How did these Japanese pirates discover the prince's location? Even I don't know where the prince is, so why were the Japanese pirates able to discover him, and the people who besieged the prince happened to be masters? I don't believe there is such a coincidence in this world."
"Do you suspect that someone in Dahua's army is secretly colluding with Japanese pirates?"
With an expression on his face, Fusheng slammed the table: "It's not doubt! It's certainty!"
The whole room was shaken, and the table fell apart instantly.
Xia Shang did not answer immediately, but waited until Fu Sheng calmed down before saying slowly: "I also had the same suspicion as you, so I chose to hide it. Now I am sure that the Japanese pirates have left and the prince is dead, but everything is still there
It’s not over yet. It doesn’t make much sense for us to speculate randomly here. If there is really a bigger conspiracy behind this incident, then we will have to wait for a while. It’s still not clear who is it.
The biggest beneficiary."
"Is this the analysis you gave me? I gave you this to tell me who is the real mastermind, not these meaningless words."
