"Use three bowls of water to boil the picked blood-washing grass, together with the medicinal materials I asked you to prepare before, to make half a bowl of medicinal soup. Remember to simmer over a slow fire!" Lu Chen said casually.
Tang Yun nodded: "Okay, I'll let my little sister get ready right away!"
When Tang Xuan saw what her sister said, she left the hall unhappy.
Chase Lu took out a sharp dagger from his pocket and heated it with a candle to disinfect it.
When Tang Xuan saw this, she frowned: "What are you doing!"
"I want to cut open the city lord's abdomen and draw out the poison lurking in his body!" Lu Chen said calmly.
Tang Xuan immediately said anxiously: "You are sure!" Her father's life was at stake, how could she not be nervous.
Lu Chen touched the sterilized dagger and said calmly: "Since you have chosen to believe in me, you must give me confidence. Besides, isn't my life still in your hands?"
Tang Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed the nervousness in her heart, and said, "Okay! I won't say anything, just go ahead and do it."
Lu Chen's lips curved upward, and when Tang Xuan brought a basin of blood to the hall, he quickly started without hesitation and made a small finger-width incision in the abdomen of the city lord Gao Long.
But the strange thing is that after opening a wound, no blood flowed out around the edge, but a dark green mist with a fishy smell spewed out.
Suddenly, gray monster moths the size of fingernails rushed out from the abdomen of the city lord Gao Long. Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, they crazily got into the blood basin that Tang Xuan had prepared earlier and devoured all the moths.
Steaming blood.
Lu Chen immediately picked up the oil lamp next to him and threw it into the basin of blood. With a loud bang, the blue flame suddenly burned and shot up several feet in the hall.
Those gray monster moths were struggling wildly in the flames and making shrill screams. The scene was very strange and horrifying.
"What the hell is this? It's so terrifying!" Tang Xuan said with a pale face. She had never seen such a weird thing.
Lu Chen looked solemnly and said: "This is Gu, it is the best trick of the Witch God Sect!"
"Witch God Cult? This sect has been extinct for three to four hundred years. How could something like this appear on my father?" Tang Yun said in surprise.
Lu Chen did not explain, but turned to look at Tang Qianjun's abdomen. After those gray strange moths flew out, Gao Long's abdomen obviously flattened and returned to its original shape.
He quickly found gauze and some golden sore medicine powder to seal the wound. After doing all this, he turned to Tang Yun and said: "The poison has been removed. The medicine will be brought up later and given to the city lord. It can cleanse the remaining residue in the body."
The insect eggs! Within seven days, the city lord’s injuries will heal naturally!”
Tang Yun wondered: "How do you know that my father was poisoned by poison, not poison?"
Lu Chen smiled faintly: "Do you still remember that when your father was about to kill me, he suddenly caused injuries in his body and vomited a mouthful of blood?"
"Remember, so what?" Tang Yun became more and more confused as she thought about it.
Lu Chen explained: "The blood actually contains insect eggs. I also noticed it at that time!"
"That's it!" Tang Yun looked suddenly enlightened upon hearing this.
Tang Xuan stood aside and wondered: "Who is the person who plotted against my father, and what is going on in Wushuang City!"
"The mastermind behind the plot against your father is actually in the city lord's mansion!" Lu Chen looked indifferent, but his words were shocking.
When many senior officials in the hall heard this, they immediately exploded. A strong man wearing heavy armor glared at Lu Chen and shouted: "Boy, don't talk nonsense. The people present are all old subordinates who have followed the city lord for many years.
Who would have the intention to murder the city lord? I think you are the one with evil intentions!"
"Yes, General Chen is right. Miss, please don't believe this outsider's nonsense!"
"Boy, don't think you've saved the city lord just because you dare to talk nonsense here. I've already seen through your treacherous plan!"
Lu Chen looked at the excited people in the hall and suddenly felt dumbfounded. These people were so impatient! He didn't even say who they were, but they were already panicking. It seemed that Tang Qianjun's subordinates were also these people.
A useless wine bag and rice bag.
"Everyone, please be patient. In fact, the mastermind behind the scenes is not in the hall!" Lu Chen said calmly, with a bit of joking in his eyes.
When Tang Xuan heard this, she immediately stared with apricot eyes and said, "You should make it clear quickly. Can you stop beating around the bush? You always like to titillate people, causing everyone to misunderstand you!"
Lu Chen snorted coldly: "The mastermind behind this is not as simple as you think!"
"What on earth do you want to say!" Tang Yun frowned, her pretty face showing a bit of tenderness.
Chase Lu pretended to be mysterious and said, "Are you interested in going to a show with me?"
Tang Yun was a little surprised: "Watching a show?" She really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Lu Chen was selling in his heart.
"Mysterious, have you known for a long time where the mastermind behind the scenes is?" Tang Xuan snorted, not liking Lu Chen's mysterious appearance.
Lu Chen shook his head: "Wrong, actually I don't know, it's just someone who told me. The truth will be revealed soon. If you are interested, please come with me!" After that, he went straight out of the hall.
Tang Yun and Tang Xuan looked at each other, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what Lu Chen was thinking.
.....
As night falls, the undercurrent of Wushuang City begins to surge. Many mysterious figures appear inexplicably in the scattered streets and alleys. They don't know where they come from, and they don't know where they go.
Near the east city gate, there was a long-abandoned courtyard. Wei Lan, disguised as the guard commander of the city lord's palace, held a silver spear on his back, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked in slowly.
The courtyard covered with weeds was quiet, without any noise.
"Come out, I know you are here." Wei Lan looked around and said in a low voice.
"Creak!" In the courtyard, a wing with spider webs on its eaves was suddenly opened, and a short and fat man walked out of it.
"I've met senior brother!" Zhou Yunhai said with cupped hands, his attitude was very respectful.
Wei Lan said expressionlessly: "How did you complete the task assigned to you?"
"Don't worry, that person has no chance to return to Wushuang City! He just damaged the 'Thirteen Swords of Rain Flower'!" Zhou Yunhai said with a somewhat flattering smile.
When Wei Lan heard this, a hint of smile appeared on his cold expression: "This Lu Chen is indeed difficult to deal with. Although the 'Thirteen Swords of Yuhua' was damaged, in comparison, as long as he can capture Wushuang City, it doesn't matter.
Well. You did a great job this time. Without Lu Chen's hindrance, that old guy Tang Qianjun is 100% dead! After tonight, this Peerless City is within our grasp at White Tiger Tower, and it's within easy reach.
"He had no idea that Zhou Yunhai in front of him had actually rebelled. However, Zhou Yunhai concealed himself very well this time, speaking half-truths and half-falsehoods. He was extremely cunning and could easily be believed to be true.
Zhou Yunhai quickly flattered him and said: "Congratulations, senior brother, congratulations, senior brother. As long as we wait for the sect's army to arrive, we will have done a great job. When the time comes, don't forget to say a few kind words in front of the master!"
"Humph, you just need to do your part well. The credit cannot go away. The time is coming. Send a signal quickly and tell the brothers to prepare for action immediately!" Wei Lan snorted, looking high-spirited.
look like,
"Okay, I've been waiting for your order for a long time!" Zhou Yunhai nodded, his honest smile looked a bit sinister. He lowered his head and took out a flare made of round bamboo from his arms.
, pull the lead at the bottom, and with a popping sound, a ball of dazzling white light shoots from the cylinder into the night sky at high speed, and then suddenly explodes, and the dazzling light instantly illuminates dozens of miles around, like daylight.
After this dazzling light came on, the shadows hidden in the dark alley showed their snow-white swords and sprang out one after another with fierce momentum. They quickly rushed towards the guards at the city gate, numbering in the hundreds. However, these people
They had just approached the city gate, but unexpectedly, a large number of archers suddenly appeared on the city tower. They opened their bows and fired arrows at them wildly, and the arrows poured down like a rainstorm.
The sudden scene shocked the men in black.
"Ah" "ah" "ah"... the miserable screams came one after another, which sounded particularly scary at night.
"There's an ambush, run!" Some men in black who reacted shouted in horror, turning around and running away.
However, as soon as they turned around, they were shocked to see groups of heavily armed city guards surrounding them from all directions, holding hands directly
The spear was stabbed at these men in black of unknown origin, and the attack was extremely vicious.
The remaining men in black still wanted to resist with swords, but when they saw their companions falling one after another around them, they suddenly felt desperate. One of the men in black shouted angrily: "You bastard, we have been exposed, someone is betraying us."
Us!" Although they had guessed that someone had leaked the secret, it was too late to say anything at this time.
‘Poof!’ A spear stabbed fiercely, piercing the man’s chest. Before he fell to the ground dead, his eyes widened, full of unwillingness.
These men in black are all core disciples from the White Tiger Tower. They have been lurking in Wushuang City for nearly two years. The plan was originally executed very smoothly, and the mission was about to be completed successfully. However, unexpectedly, at the critical moment, a chess move was missed and someone was killed.
Leaking secrets and betrayal caused all the painstaking planning to go to waste. How could these core disciples from the White Tiger Tower be willing to do so and not resent the person who informed them behind the scenes?
They have been waiting for this day of success and fame for a long time. They were all looking forward to making contributions to the sect, bringing glory to the family, and becoming famous. However, they did not expect that in the end they would fall short and be stabbed in the back.
Poor Baihu Tower, because of the greed for life and fear of death of a little guy like Zhou Yunhai, his sect directly lost hundreds of core disciples. Moreover, in the past two years when he planned to capture Wushuang City, he spent countless money in order to win over all parties.
, in the end, it still came to nothing and became a dream. It can be said that I lost my wife and lost my army.
