Chapter five hundred and twenty fifth collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country
Originally he was going to leave the valley tomorrow, but something happened to the fourth elder, so Bai Ling couldn't leave at this time.
Unless she saw the fourth elder's body with her own eyes, Bai Ling didn't believe that the fourth elder died like this, at least she didn't want to believe it.
"The fourth child will also be pleased with the Young Valley Master's kindness." The elder raised his head, so that people couldn't see his expression, but could feel the deep sadness radiating from his body.
"Senior Brother Xue, now is not the time to feel sad."
Bai Ling looked back and saw Xue Hongyan kneeling on the edge of the cliff, punching the ice in pain, bright red blood staining the ice, but showing no intention of stopping.
The person who killed the fourth elder was Zhiqiu. It was normal for Xue Hongyan to blame himself, but in this matter, Xue Hongyan was also an innocent person and could not express his anger.
But in a blink of an eye, he saw Lingqiu hiding aside. Bai Ling was angry at Xue Hongyan's unclear recognition of people, and said coldly: "The fourth elder has attached great importance to Yaowang Valley in his life. Now that the fourth elder is no longer there, we
I want to fulfill the wish of the fourth elder. And I also want to trouble everyone to do the things that the fourth elder and I just discussed."
After saying that, Bai Ling went down the mountain first.
Everyone must be separated so that Bai Ling can go down to Siguo Cliff as soon as possible to find out the attitude of the four elders.
If there are really various dangers at the bottom of the cliff, the sooner the Fourth Elder is found, the greater the chance of her survival.
The news of the fourth elder's unfortunate death was soon known to all the disciples of Yaowang Valley, and they inevitably fell into a low pressure for a while.
In order to prevent people from panic, several elders announced to the public that Zhiqiu had made a mistake, and when the fourth elders reprimanded him, the two of them accidentally fell to the bottom of the cliff.
However, after experiencing the underground palace and other events, the disciples were all panicked. No matter what people said, they would think that there was a traitor in Yaowang Valley, and Zhiqiu was also identified in this way.
Even when disciples look at people with whom they usually have friction, they will doubt the other person's true identity.
Bai Ling didn't have time to take care of these things for the time being. After explaining some things to the secret guards and Haitang, he entered the space and headed towards Siguo Cliff on the grounds that he needed to rest.
Royal Palace.
Shangguan Yu hurried on the road continuously. After returning to Beijing, the first thing he did was to enter the palace to report the poisonous person to the emperor.
There were only the emperor and Shangguan Yu in the imperial study. The emperor did not want anyone to participate in this matter, in case someone leaked the news and caused panic among the people.
"Zi Yuan, I want you to tell the truth. How many soldiers in the Zixiao Army were poisoned?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
Shangguan Yu had always known that there were spies from the emperor in the Zixiao Army.
Not to mention the Zixiao Army, there are also many people deployed by the emperor in the entire Northern Territory.
As long as the Han Palace is not endangered, Shangguan Yu will not do anything to these people, letting the emperor know the dynamics of the Zixiao Army, and he and the Han Palace have no intention of rebellion, and there will be less tension between them.
"Back to the emperor, there are more than three hundred people in total. The ministers are incompetent and have been poisoned." Shangguan Yu replied.
The emperor's face changed slightly and he looked at Shangguan Yu carefully.
Although the emperor had never seen Poison Man, he had heard about Poison Man's power.
And poisonous people are a new thing. There are also two poisonous people in the palace who were secretly sent back to the capital. The imperial hospital has not developed a prescription on its own until now.
Although Bai Ling had given him antidote prescriptions, the emperor became wary of Bai Ling after Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu got engaged, fearing that Bai Ling and the Han palace would collude, which would be detrimental to the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"Is there anything unusual about you...?" The emperor's hand on his knee tightened, and he looked at Shangguan Yu as if he were a monster. He was afraid that Shangguan Yu would not understand thoroughly, and added: "What I'm asking is,
Are there any abnormalities in your body after detoxification?"
"Back to the emperor, yes." Shangguan Yu nodded. Seeing the emperor's face changed drastically, he sneered in his heart, but it was not obvious on his face: "After being weak for a period of time, I found that my body seemed to be stronger than before. But Ji Xiang
The princess once said that the time is too short to determine whether there will be other side effects."
The emperor's expression changed rapidly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so Shangguan Yu stopped talking.
After a long time, the emperor finally said: "If this poison is used in the army..."
Upon hearing the emperor's tentative words, Shangguan Yu immediately said: "Absolutely not!"
"Why?" The emperor knew too little about poisonous people, so he was willing to listen to Shangguan Yu say more.
But naturally the emperor would not believe everything Shangguan Yu said.
"Poisonous people are unconscious and are not necessarily under control. The poisonous people known to Cheng have been poisoned for no more than a month, so they can be detoxified. Princess Jixiang has talked with me about this matter. Once the poisonous person has been poisoned for a long time, his lifespan will be
It will shorten and eventually get out of control, and no human power can stop what they do."
Afraid that the emperor would not believe it, Shangguan Yu added: "Although Princess Jixiang can detoxify poisonous people, she is not sure whether there will be any sequelae. She is even more afraid of encountering poisonous people whose toxicity she cannot control, so she has returned to Yaowang Valley.
I want to seek help from Mr. Shang to study the detoxification together."
"Is Princess Jixiang not sure?" The emperor frowned, very dissatisfied with the result.
Especially when Bai Ling went to Yaowang Valley, the emperor couldn't find anyone. He still wanted to summon Bai Ling to the capital.
Now that the guarantee was gone, the emperor was afraid that he would have even more trouble sleeping and eating.
"Yes." Shangguan Yu nodded and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I have a bold hypothesis. Does the person behind the poisonous man want the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty, or does he want to dominate the world? The poisonous man can fight one against ten.
, it’s not that they have iron skin and bones, it’s just that they don’t know the pain.
And those who want to create poisonous people have always been hiding in the dark. How will such a vicious and vicious person harm innocent people for his own purpose? If the number of poisonous people increases significantly, won't the country be in danger?"
The emperor's face darkened. He had certainly thought about this possibility, otherwise he would not have sent people out to investigate the matter.
Just a few months have passed, and apart from finding some poisonous people, there have been no useful clues.
Whenever he thought of the danger of poisonous people, the emperor could not sleep at night, fearing that the people around him would also become poisonous people, or that someone would poison him and become a puppet from then on.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor has not visited the harem for a long time, and he has also taken precautions against his concubines.
This time, Shangguan Yu was not mocked by the emperor's expression. After a moment of silence, he continued: "I don't know whether the other party selectively chose the Zixiao Army to make poisoners, or whether they planned to do the same in other armies. But
It takes at least half a year for a poisonous person to be poisoned, for the poison to take effect, and finally develop into a tool without cognition."
"Half a year!" the emperor exclaimed.
"Yes." Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes and said sadly: "I was in the Zixiao Army and found someone exchanging private messages with Beichen Kingdom. It is not yet sure whether it is related to the poisonous person incident. Therefore, when I return to Beijing this time, I also want to give him a message.
Give that person a chance to see if he can make any big moves."
"Is this related to the Beichen Kingdom?" The emperor's face was filled with dark clouds, as if Shangguan Yu nodded, he would send troops to destroy the Beichen Kingdom.
"To be precise, it was the prince of Beichen who bribed the generals in the Zixiao army." Shangguan Yu raised his head, looked directly at the emperor Long Yan, stood up and delivered a letter to the imperial case. (To be continued)
