The palace was unusually quiet. Tang Ji was watched by Chen Zongwen and Ye Tong. He had no other way out at this time. He exhaled, slowly raised his arm, and took the broad bean-sized bean from Night Tong's calloused hand.
I took the milky white elixir, lowered my head and stared at it for a while, finally took it into my mouth and swallowed it.
Seeing this, the corner of Ye Tong's mouth raised again: "This elixir tastes sweet. You can taste it slowly, little friend Tang, but it doesn't matter. I will give you another one next month. When the Ning Kingdom is defeated, I will
I will also give you a priceless life-prolonging pill, which will ensure that you can easily live to be a hundred years old after eating it!"
Tang Ji blinked his eyes. The implication was that he had to help Chaozongdian destroy the Chu State in order to get the antidote. He cursed the other party several times in his heart, and then replied: "I will live up to the expectations of Your Majesty and Lord Ye."
Chen Zongwen wanted to pour a cup of tea, but found that the water in the teapot had become cold, so he did not do it again. He turned to Tang Ji and said: "Master Tang, as long as you can help me win the Ning Kingdom, I will make you a marquis."
The position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance is also reserved for you!"
There was a cold look in Tang Ji's eyes, but only for a moment. He bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Zongwen showed a satisfied smile, nodded and added: "If anything happens in the future, you can discuss it with Ye Tong."
Just as Ye Tong was about to reply, a guard in black ran in and knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, yes."
He was about to report the information, but found that an outsider was present, so he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
Seeing this, Tang Ji stood up quickly: "The minister will not disturb Your Majesty, and will leave first."
It just so happens that he doesn’t want to stay in this damn place anymore!
Chen Zongwen turned his head and glanced at Tang Ji. Compared to Ye Tong using drugs to control this kid, he wanted the other party to help him sincerely, so he waved his sleeves lightly: "No problem, just tell me if you have anything to do."
Now that the Holy One has spoken, the black-clothed guard has no ink left and speaks: "Your Majesty, the morale of the Ningguo army is high. In two months, they turned from defense to attack and captured seven cities in Jiangguo. Yesterday, Jiangguo's army
The marshal personally handed over the letter of surrender to Li Yu, the fourth prince of Ning Kingdom."
Hearing this, Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. He hadn't heard from Li Yu for a long time. It seemed like that guy had grown up a lot!
Chen Zongwen's face was full of melancholy: "In this way, after Ningguo recovers and recuperates, the national power will probably increase to another level."
Ye Tong also attached great importance to this news. He thought about it carefully and then said: "In this case, little friend Tang Ji, you might as well go back as soon as possible. Guan Chong has always been in charge of Ning Guo. I believe that with you as his right-hand man, he can do things well."
It will be more convenient. Of course, if you come up with any good ideas, you can discuss them with him!"
Tang Ji sarcastically said in his heart, before he said that he would stay in Mingdu for a while, but now that he has achieved his goal, his expression has changed really quickly!
However, his face was still calm and calm, and he handed over his hands and replied: "Yes, then Wei Chen has gone back to pack his luggage!"
Soon, after Tang Ji left, Chen Zongwen closed his eyes slightly and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows: "Tang Ji's current status is enough to prove his ability. Do you want to control his ambition with just a poison pill?
?”
Ye Tong smoothed his beard and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the Heavenly Demon Nine Turns Pill is a highly poisonous pill that Lin Xie spent his life refining. It uses hundreds of medicinal materials. No one in the world can solve it. Once
If you take it, if you don't take one antidote within a month, you will be tortured to death by the evil poison. That boy cherishes his life, and besides, he has already been alienated from Li He, so he will think it over carefully!"
Seeing how confident he was, Chen Zongwen didn't say anything more.
But the guard in black who was still kneeling on the ground pricked up his ears and was surprised by Tang Ji's taking poison. But as soon as he fell into deep thought, he realized that these secrets were not what he should hear. His eyes widened in an instant and he turned around suddenly.
He wanted to escape.
But he still took a step slower. As soon as he turned around, he found that Ye Tong had arrived behind him at some point. Before he could speak, he was grabbed by the neck. As a crisp sound came out, he lost his breath.
Chen Zongwen watched Ye Tong drop the body of the man in black and murmured: "Don't let such a frivolous person dirty my eyes again."
"I obey." Ye Tong bowed and replied, then dragged the body of the black-clothed guard outside.
After Tang Ji left the palace, he was sent out of the city by the black-clothed guard who had brought him in before. It was almost noon when he returned to the manor.
Cheng Tie, who was wandering around the porch, saw him coming back and hurriedly greeted him, raised his arm and asked, "Brother Tang, are you okay? Did they do anything to you or force you to do anything?"
I don't know whether it was the effect of the medicine or the psychological reaction after taking the medicine, which made Tang Ji feel as if he was carrying a huge boulder on his back. He felt extremely tired and couldn't exert any strength in his whole body. Just as he was about to explain something, he found that Jiang Ran and Qin
Yingyi walked over in tandem, then held herself up and forced out a smile: "What can I do for you? Lao Cheng, go get ready. We will set off back to Ningguo tomorrow."
"Oh, okay." Cheng Tie agreed subconsciously, but after realizing it, his eyes widened: "Return to Ningguo? Brother Tang, can we leave Mingdu?"
At this moment, the guards guarding the gate also received the order and left one after another.
Seeing this, Hua Yuan'er, who came after him, was surprised and asked: "Isn't it true? You just went there for two hours and convinced the Emperor of Chu? I don't believe you would stick your butt out for someone to poke you."
Bar?"
His words made Cheng Tie laugh.
Only Jiang Ran noticed something was wrong with Tang Ji and quickly stepped forward to support him: "Husband, what happened?"
"It's okay." Tang Jirou replied with a smile. He didn't want Ranran to worry about him and thought he could handle the matter silently. Little did he know that the fine sweat on his forehead had betrayed him. Just as he was about to say something more, he realized that he was in front of him.
Jiang Ran became increasingly blurry. He shook his head slightly to get a clearer view, but unexpectedly, he fell backwards.
Hua Yuan'er had quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly grabbed him: "Old Tang!"
"Tang Ji!" Everyone present also became nervous.
Late at night, the man lying on the bed suddenly became conscious, his fingers trembled twice, and then his eyelids also moved.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran, who was waiting by the side, quickly put a freshly soaked towel on Tang Ji's forehead, stared at him with worried eyes, and then held his hand tightly: "Husband!"
After a long time, Tang Ji gradually gained sense of the outside world and could regain control of his body. He tried his best to open his eyelids and turned his head slightly to find Jiu'er who was crying and Jiang Ran who was in a daze.
Chu Qi asked softly: "What time is it? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Uncle!" Jiuer blinked his tears and cried again.
Jiang Ran suddenly came to his senses and held Tang Ji's hand tightly: "Husband, how do you feel now?"
Tang Ji wanted to force out a smile, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be refractory, so he had to give up and whispered back: "Much better, maybe because I didn't have a good rest last night, and I'm very nervous today, so I"
Just as he was making up lies, Jiang Ran came up to him and blocked his mouth with her jade lips.
If it were normal, Tang Ji would have been immersed in the land of gentleness, but now that he had taken poison, he might have infected her, so he hurriedly avoided it.
Jiang Ran didn't blame him, and his jade eyes were invaded by white mist: "Didn't you love playing hooligans the most before? Didn't you always let me take the initiative? Why are you avoiding me now? Tang Ji, you have to remember that I am
Your wife, no matter what you go through, I will stay with you, even if I have to accompany you to death, but you can't lie to me or hide it from me!"
After hearing her words, Tang Ji also felt a little sad, but before he could say anything, he fell asleep again.
"Uncle!" Jiu'er quickly stepped forward to wake him up.
Jiang Ran quickly stopped her: "Okay, it's getting late. You go back first, Jiu'er. I'll just stay with my uncle."
After my uncle fainted, the young lady has been by his side, and he still hasn't had a drop of water. This makes Jiu'er feel particularly worried: "Miss."
"Okay, let's go!" Jiang Ran raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then drove her out of the room.
Standing outside the house, Jiu'er couldn't help crying: "God, can you let the young lady and the uncle go? They should have been married and were preparing to give birth to the younger brother-in-law!"
Hearing this, Hua Yuan'er, who was sitting on the roof with the cold wind blowing, sighed, shook his head, picked up the wine bottle and took a sip.
On the other side, in a small courtyard in the city, a man in black knelt down and said, "Sir, Yuan Qi is dead!"
