By the time Patriarch Qilin hurried from the royal court, most of the poison in Qi Qiaosong's body had been cured.
The reason why there is still a small part left is not because the Dragon Clan's detoxification ability is not good, but because if this thing is completely detoxified, it will be difficult to explain to the Qilin Clan.
In the dragon embassy, after confirming that little Qilin's life was safe, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
In any case, as long as nothing happens to the heir, everything can still be restored.
As for Qi Qiaoan and Qi Yingzhu, these two "culprits" were taken away by the Queen in advance before the Qilin Ancestor arrived.
The reason is also very simple: the Queen is afraid that these two people will be slapped to death by the angry Qilin Ancestor.
Qi Qiaoan took the blame. At that time, he looked like he was mourning for his concubine and completely lost any idea of speaking.
Qi Yingzhu still wanted to try harder, and kept looking at Long Long with a "cat's pitiful" look, begging her fiancé to help her uncle.
Long Long could only pretend not to see it: Could it be possible that your mother could harm you if she took you back?
Back to the topic, Qilin Patriarch checked Qi Qiaosong's physical condition and found that although he had recovered from most of the toxins and woke up, his whole body became timid. Even if there was the slightest movement around him, he would quickly pull up the quilt to cover himself.
——Obviously frightened.
When I wanted to investigate again, I discovered that not only Long Long and Long Hu were not there, but Qi Qiaoan and Qi Yingzhu were also missing.
"Longlong Longhu was too frightened and is currently recuperating in the backyard." Qin Beiwang said hesitantly, "As for your two highnesses..."
Seeing that he hesitated to speak, the Qilin ancestor became impatient:
"Where are your two highnesses? Shouldn't you take the initiative to ask me for an explanation if such an important matter arises?"
"Ahem." Qin Beiwang followed Long Long's instructions and after all the trouble, he said with a look of embarrassment, "Someone from the royal court will pick them up, and we, the Dragon Clan, can't stop them."
"This is really unreasonable!" Qilin Ancestor was furious.
Not to mention that Qi Qiaosong is not dead, even if something really happened, wouldn't your first reaction be to explain to the Qilin clan, but to immediately try to evade responsibility?
Originally he didn't want to offend the White Tiger clan because of this incident, but seeing Queen Lu Ya being so arrogant and unreasonable in protecting her children, the Qilin ancestor decided to teach her a lesson.
Returning to the royal court angrily, Patriarch Qilin had just arrived at the top of Shenlong Tower when he saw Queen Lu Ya standing there expressionlessly, giving orders to Qi Qiaoan next to her:
"Why don't you kneel down and apologize!"
Qi Qiaoan immediately fell to his knees and said with tears:
"The sinner Qi Qiaoan, pays homage to the ancestor."
Then, he told the Qilin ancestor everything in detail:
"...At the gap on the top of the tower, when I saw my brother leaning out, I suddenly became obsessed and wanted to play a joke on my brother."
"I thought that my brother's physical strength would mean that he would be fine even if he fell from the tower. Who would have thought that assassins were waiting outside and took the opportunity to shoot my brother in the chest with a crossbow..."
"...Qi Qiao'an knew that his crime was unforgivable, so he no longer made any excuses. He was just willing to pay for his brother's life."
"Hmph." Ancestor Qilin snorted coldly. It was obvious that Qi Qiaoan, who was full of tears and was just repenting, had been captured and trained by Queen Lu Ya in advance.
The so-called "willing to pay for my brother's life", Qi Qiaosong is not dead, why should I ask you to pay for it? You can say beautiful words!
However, Queen Lu Ya also reminded him: the real fatal injury suffered by Qi Qiaosong was not caused by Qi Qiaoan pushing him down.
When Qin Beiwang arrived at the embassy, he briefly explained to him that the little Qilin was knocked unconscious after being hit by an arrow in the chest after being pushed from the tower. There was also deadly toxin on the arrow... At that time, he subconsciously thought
It was Qi Qiaoan who had evil intentions, and now that I think about it, something is indeed wrong.
Pushing his younger brother down to vent his anger was something the daring Qi Qiaoan would do, but killing his younger brother with poisoned crossbow arrows would definitely not lead him to madness unless he lost his mind, became possessed by a demon, and his mind was no longer clear.
Recalling that the little Qilin jumped forward and was hit by an arrow in the chest, the Qilin ancestor also guessed that someone else was actually responsible for the assassination.
So he first severely reprimanded Qi Qiaoan, then hurriedly left the Dragon Tower and went to the Dragon Clan Embassy again to inquire about the incident.
As a result, the patriarch Qin Beiwang still came to receive him. Ancestor Qilin felt that something was wrong more and more, and asked again:
"Where are Long Long and Long Hu? I have some questions that I want to ask them."
Qin Beiwang silently estimated the time, thinking that they had probably left the imperial capital by now, so he said with an embarrassed smile:
"The situation in the imperial capital is complicated. There were two assassinations in one month. I was worried about the safety of the two of them, so I asked them to go back to Dongzhou first."
"Ah, this!" Qilin Ancestor suddenly choked on his words and said after a while, "How can this be so?!"
As soon as he asked the question, he immediately woke up.
The Dragon Clan has already predicted the current situation. In the future, they will either stand on the side of Qilin White Tiger or Xuanwu.
From the perspective of family interests, they must wait for the price and negotiate enough bargaining chips before joining the highest bidder... They are also worried about staying in the imperial capital for a long time and being kidnapped by Qilin to form a direct alliance!
If the Qilin Ancestor does not have this idea, it is definitely impossible. After all, he represents the interests of the Qilin clan, and of course he will do whatever it takes.
But before the method was used, the other party predicted his plan and ran away without following etiquette, which made the Qilin Ancestor feel displeased as if he had been humiliated.
Therefore, he didn't bother to talk to Qin Beiwang. He just cast a spell to rise into the sky and flew quickly towards the east!
After flying for several miles in the air, the Qilin Ancestor landed on the field and slammed the ground with his right foot.
Soon, an old man popped up from the ground and said with a smile:
"What are the instructions from Qilin Immortal?"
"Did you see the Dragon Clan passing through this place not long ago?" Qilin Ancestor asked directly.
"I've seen it." The old man was startled for a moment, then he raised his withered cane cane, pointed far to the right, and said, "A quarter of an hour ago, he used magic to fly over there two miles away.
."
Ancestor Qilin briefly estimated the direction and confirmed that Long Long and the others did not plan to return to Dongzhou directly, but instead took a detour to the border of Beizhou... Could it be that the Xuanwu clan had someone to support them at the border?
Thinking of this, his face became more and more gloomy, and he quickly flew in the direction pointed by the old man.
Although Qin Chaocang, the great elder of the dragon clan, has powerful magical powers, his magical powers in terms of speed are not as good as his own.
After calculating the time, speed and distance difference again, Qilin Ancestor became more and more certain that he would be able to catch up with the other party before they reached the border!
