Chapter 589: Toxic

The King of Linzi fell to the ground by poisoning and almost instantly. When everyone was shocked, they had not yet come to their senses, but they heard a "wow" sound. Following the sound, they saw a mouthful of blood spurting out from the stone pond, and the blood turned black. The whole person had fallen to the ground. He just struggled for a few times and was killed.

In an instant, two people were killed, one was the prince of Dongqi and the other was also the general under the prince's command. Everyone was stunned.

The prince opened his eyes wide, his face twitched, rushed forward suddenly, hugged the King of Linzi, and said with a hissing: "Last brother, third brother!" He had always been quite calm, but at this moment, his brothers and brothers were killed in front of him, and his voice was even more hoarse and sad.

Qi Ning watched the King of Linzi and Shitang fall to the ground one after another and die. He was surprised and knew that something was wrong. At this moment, Xuzhou Governor Fang Xingzhai came to his senses and shouted: "There are assassins, everyone stayed in place and was not allowed to move without any action."

Fang Xingzhai shouted, and another general under the prince, Su Lun, also came to his senses and said in a deep voice: "Encircling here, there is no order from Your Highness, so no one should act rashly." He had already pulled out his sword. In addition to the prince's personal soldiers, there were also those prince guards in strong clothes nearby. When he heard Su Lun's voice, he made a loud "choking" sound, and they all pulled out the sword. The surrounding soldiers immediately formed a circle, holding large swords and spears, and surrounded them tightly.

Wu Dalin also knew that things were not good. He brought more than a dozen soldiers here, and there were only more than twenty guards in the Marquis' Mansion beside Qi Ning. He was surrounded by the middle at this time. The situation was urgent. Wu Dalin pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, but remained calm and said in a deep voice: "Don't move nonsense, don't draw the sword!"

He knew very well that it was a tense moment. The King of Linzi and Shitang were both poisoned and killed by drinking. Everyone knew that the poisonous wine was offered by the Chu delegation, and the other party would definitely point the finger at the delegation. As long as he drew his sword, the other party mistakenly thought it was to resist, it would probably cause a fight.

Sure enough, Situ Mingyue looked at Qi Ning and said angrily: "Waiting Jinyi, what's going on?"

Qi Ning looked solemn and said, "I want to know what's going on."

Fang Xingzhai pointed at Qi Ning and said, "You Chu State is cruel and ruthless and poisoned the King of Linzi. Qi Ning, are you guilty?"

"In order to cultivate the interests of both countries, our Chu State specially sent a mission to the country. I wonder what the crime is?"

Fang Xingzhai said angrily: "You still say that you are innocent? Do you think everyone's eyes are blind?" He pointed to the jar of wine and said: "I ask you, is this jar of wine offered by your delegation?"

"Not bad." Qi Ning nodded.

Fang Xingzhai sneered: "Just admit it, and you dare to say that you are innocent?"

Qi Ning said lightly: "I really offer this jar of wine to the prince, but the person who delivers the wine may not be the one who poisons it."

"Are you still quibbling?" Fang Xingzhai clenched his fist and said, "Qinning, although you are the Clerk of Chu State, you will have to pay your life if you kill our King Linzi of the Great Qi."

Su Lun had already said in a deep voice: "It's all taken down!"

The soldiers of Dongqi around him rushed over like wolves and tigers. Wu Dalin said sternly: "Who dares to take action?" He knew that if he did not resist at this time, he would surrender. Although the other party had many people, the people of Chu were not afraid. Wu Dalin drew his sword first and rushed to Qi Ning, and the others rushed forward to protect Qi Ning.

The Prince of Dongqi was holding the body of the King of Linzi next to him, and was extremely sad. In fact, once Qi Ning took action at this time, he could completely control the Prince of Dongqi. As long as the prince was in his hands, the officers and soldiers of Dongqi would not dare to act rashly, and could even escape from the predicament.

But Qi Ning knew that once he took action, he would have no room for a turn.

The moment King Linzi fell to the ground, Qi Ning knew that the trouble was going to be. King Linzi was not an ordinary person, but a dignified prince of Dongqi. If this matter cannot be explained clearly, the entire Chu delegation would probably not be able to leave Dongqi.

But once he took the Prince of Dongqi hostage, no matter what he said next, the people of Dongqi would not believe it.

The soldiers of Dongqi waved their swords and were about to kill, but heard a loud voice and shouted: "Stop!" It was the Prince of Dongqi who stood up and shouted loudly.

The prince stopped drinking, so naturally no one dared to move, but he still surrounded Qi Ning and his men.

The prince turned around, looked at Qi Ning, and said, "Monkey King, I really want to hear how you explain it."

Qi Ning sighed and said, "Your Highness is wise, killing requires a motive. If we poisoned the wine and killed the King of Linzi, what is the motive?"

"You are not trying to kill the King of Linzi." Situ Mingyue said coldly with a calm face: "You are offering these two jars of wine to Your Highness. Your Highness does not know that the wine is poisonous and rewards Shitang. No one knew that the King of Linzi would drink in advance, so your purpose is not the King of Linzi, nor Shitang, but Your Highness."

Qi Ning stared at Situ Mingyue and asked, "Shi Tu, I am still the same problem. Where is the motive for our desire to harm Your Highness? Of course, anyone has a motive for doing something, let alone a great matter like murdering Your Highness?" He glanced at the prince and said, "I have never met and had any contact before, nor have I dealt with you or me before, and there is no hatred. Why should I harm the prince?"

"You know what intention is." Fang Xingzhai was aggressive, "You don't have to argue here. The King of Linzi was killed by you. No matter how you argue, you will never have the principle of survival."

Qi Ning smiled faintly and asked, "Mr. Fang, what do you think we are in our intentions? Even if Mo wants to cure our sins, he must make it clear. What is the purpose of our harm to Your Highness?"

Fang Xingzhai said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is my Grand Prince. I will harm Your Highness. Of course, it will cause turmoil in my Grand Prince. How can you Chu take advantage of the situation?"

Qi Ning sneered and said politely: "Mr. Fang, are you stupid or me marquis? If we want to cause chaos in Qi, we will take advantage of the situation. What is this? Do you think our Chu State is going to use troops to Qi? You might as well ask yourself, if our Chu State attacks Qi State, it will be of any benefit to our Great Chu? Although this Marquis is not smart, he is definitely not stupid. He poisons the wine. Such a poor trick will not seek death? I have nearly 300 people in my delegation. Do you know that they will die and come to the funeral?"

The prince didn't say anything, and finally said, "There is poisonous in the wine, what explanation is?"

"I really don't know why this matter is." Qi Ning frowned and said, "Your Highness, the Qing Dynasty will be clear. I ask myself that there is no motive to harm Your Highness, nor will it hurt Your Highness."

The prince pondered for a moment before asking, "Monkey King, I believe that you have no intention of harming me, but before you offered poisonous wine, have you checked that the wine is poisonous?"

Qi Ning was stunned and thought to myself that if I found out that it was poisonous, I could give it to you? Suddenly, could this batch of wine have been tampered with and become a scapegoat? Frowning and said, "Your Highness, this is indeed not checked. This is a gift prepared by the court. If you want to check it, you have to open the sealing mud, which is naturally impossible."

The prince said, "I can believe that you have no intention of harming me, but have you ever thought that this matter was not for me, but for you?" After a pause, he said, "Do you have an opponent in the court? Before you set off, you were tampered with these fine wines?"

Qi Ning thought that this possibility was not impossible. She thought that if this was the case, it would be a big problem. No matter who poisoned it, she sent the poisoned wine himself. Now that the King of Linzi was poisoned and died, the people of Dongqi naturally would not give up. He could not leave Dongqi even if he was elusive.

"Your Highness, it is actually easy to verify whether the truth is really like this." Qi Ning said: "There is only one jar of wine left for the two jars of wine I gave to Youth Highness last night. You can open the other jars to see if it is poisonous. I also sent someone to bring all the other jars of wines here immediately and check in front of everyone. If the jars of wine in my convoy are poisonous, then I will be responsible for this matter and I will apologize to Your Highness."

Fang Xingzhai sneered and said, "Even if the wine in your place is not poisonous, it cannot be proved that it is not the poison you made? You!" Before he finished speaking, the prince had raised his hand and stopped Fang Xingzhai's words and said, "Just do as the way Jinyihou wants."

Qi Ning ordered Qi Feng to go back to get the wine. The prince also sent Situ Mingyue to get another jar of wine, and ordered people to place the bodies of the King of Linzi and Shitang first.

After the bodies of the King of Linzi and Shitang were carried down, not long after, Situ Mingyue had already taken another jar of wine and placed it on the table. Situ Mingyue ordered people to pat the Kaifeng mud, but Qi Ning stopped it and said, "Check it first." Going closer, the prince also approached. Qi Ning took a closer look, and suddenly pointed to a place and said, "Your Highness, please look here."

The prince looked down slightly and suddenly realized that there was an extremely small hole on the top of the mud on the wine jar, extremely fine. If you don’t have good eyesight or don’t look carefully, it is impossible to find it. Qi Ning said: “Your Highness, if I’m not wrong, this jar of wine has been poisoned, and the poison seeps into this hole.”

The prince ordered: "Come on, open an altar to test the poison!"

Immediately someone came up next to him, patted Kaifeng mud, took a silverware and dipped it in it. After taking it out, in the sun, I soon saw the silverware turning black. Fang Xingzhai sneered: "It's indeed poisonous."

At this time, Qi Feng had already brought all the eight jars of wine left by the delegation. The prince said, "There is no need to test all the drugs, just pick three jars from it."

Situ Mingyue brought three oaths to come over casually and tested the poison one by one. Qi Ning was nervous at this time. If these wines were poisonous, things would be more complicated, and his situation would be even more dangerous. He would not be able to remove the guilt of poisoning the King of Linzi no matter what.

Everyone stared at it, and saw that the silverware had penetrated into three jars of wine one after another, but the silverware had not changed. The person who tested the poison had already said to the prince: "Your Highness, all of these three jars of wine are not poisonous!"
