The dragon scale guards separated at the edge of the gray mist, holding torches and reaching into the mist.
Wherever the flames burned, the thick mist immediately made a "sizzling" sound, as if the mist had been burned dry, and its color immediately became lighter.
"It works!" Dragon Scale Guards were overjoyed.
"Quickly, bring more torches and form a circle. We must not let the poisonous mist spread out!"
Someone shouted loudly.
After a while, torches, braziers and other things were delivered.
The flames burned blazingly, causing the gray mist to sizzle, like rain. Drops of gray poisonous water fell on the ground, corroding the blue bricks into spots.
The scope of the gray fog gradually narrowed and was cleared away. At the center was a gourd with a hole in it.
Gray mist poured out continuously from the hole.
The Dragon Scale Guard took the fire tongs, threw the gourd into the blazing brazier, and burned it directly to ashes.
Without the poisonous mist, the messy courtyard was finally revealed in full.
It was almost getting dark at this time.
A wisp of red clouds appeared on the horizon, and the light gradually became brighter.
Gong Yangqian, who was on the verge of death from poisoning, was found by Longlin Guards and carried to the middle of the yard. After confirming that he was still alive, Longlin Guards quickly reported to Zhan Beihan and asked if he should be fed the antidote.
Zhan Beihan agreed.
Unexpectedly, the antidote to the poisonous mist was just fed into Gongyang Qian's mouth.
Gong Yangqian, who was originally dying, suddenly became poisonous. His entire face turned a terrifying dark purple, black poisonous blood gushed out of his mouth, his eyes widened, and his body twitched violently.
Before the Dragon Scale Guard next to him could react, he saw Gong Yangqian twitching all over and freezing on the spot with his eyes wide open.
"......he died?!"
The Dragon Scale Guards were shocked: "What's going on? Didn't you give me the antidote? Why did you suddenly die?"
Is there something wrong with the antidote that the prince brought back?
But...the other poisoned Dragon Scale Guards also ate them, and they were indeed detoxified!
Zhan Beihan came over after hearing the news. When he saw Gong Yangqian's dead state, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
Xiao Lingyue followed closely behind and squatted down next to the body. She looked carefully and suddenly remembered something and lifted Gong Yangqian's sleeves.
Zhan Beihan: "What to do?"
"Look at this, it's the trace of Yao Wuchen's poisonous needle."
Xiao Lingyue found a small purple-black needle hole on Gong Yangqian's arm.
"Yao Wuchen had touched his hand before, and it was probably at that time that he inserted the poisonous needle into it."
Xiao Lingyue frowned and said: "The poison needle is so small that it is not easy to detect when it pierces the skin. Moreover, Gong Yangqian had already been poisoned at the time and was already feeling pain, so he didn't notice it at all."
Yao Wuchen was afraid that Gong Yangqian would not die.
It's not enough to have a layer of gray mist poison, but a layer of insurance is also added quietly.
The poison of the poison needle probably conflicts with the gray mist.
Even if Xiao Lingyue obtained the antidote to the gray mist and fed it to Gong Yangqian, he could not detoxify it. Instead, it destroyed the balance of the two poisons in his body, causing Gong Yangqian to die from the poison in an instant.
Xiao Lingyue was in a bad mood.
She looked at Gong Yangqian's angry eyes and his deathly black face, and thought to herself: Is this retribution?
Of course Gong Yangqian is not a good person. He is filled with twisted hatred and has already become morbid and crazy.
In his last life, "Wei Shaorong" and he had been hostile and fighting for more than ten years.
I'm afraid he didn't even think of it himself.
He will die in the hands of Yao Wuchen, and even his death will be so painful...
What a retribution.
Zhan Beihan didn't know the inside story and said in a solemn voice: "Why did Yao Wuchen kill him? To silence him?"
"That's right."
Xiao Lingyue did not hide anything and said bluntly: "Yao Wuchen appeared in Northern Qin because he was entrusted by Murong Ye to deal with the aftermath. His original purpose was to kill Gong Yangqian and silence him, so that he would not fall into your hands alive.
