E Chongyu said to the three princes: "Today's matter is very confidential. It affects the life and death of the four of us. We must keep it secret. If even half of it is leaked, we will all die without a burial place!"
Chonghou Hu and E Chongyu had always had some disagreements, so he sneered: "Humph! You don't need to tell me about this!"
Jiang Huanchu was attentive and had already seen that the relationship between E Chongyu and Wei Ziqi was extraordinary. Ji Chang looked like an old god, as if nothing had happened just now.
Not long after the four people were disbanded, Ji Chang, who seemed as if nothing had happened just now, called San Yisheng, who was accompanying him, and gave him a letter with a solemn look on his face, instructing him: "Doctor San, please return to Xiqi as soon as possible. If you are a lonely king, We will return safely to Chaoge this time. If anything happens, please give this letter to Tai Ji immediately and call all the princes to read it together. You must act according to what is written in the letter and must not disobey it! Remember this!"
San Yisheng saw that Ji Chang's words were so serious and knew that the matter was not trivial. He quickly hid the letter and, escorted by several personal followers, hurried back to Xiqi at night.
On the second day, the four princes were on the road again and continued towards Chaoge.
Zhang Zixing already knew that the four princes planned to meet up in Mianchi and enter Chaoge together, but he did not know what happened in Mianchi Posthouse. His attention at this time was on another serious matter - he was poisoned.
Zhang Zixing had nothing to do that day. When he came to the base for a routine monthly physical examination, he suddenly discovered that there was an extra toxin in his body at some point! This toxin was detected by ultra-brain and is of latent type. At present, , there is no hindrance to the body, and there are no abnormalities, but once it attacks, it will cause extreme disorder of body function, coma, collapse or even death, and the attack time is likely to be induced by certain conditions or artificially controlled. If it is not super It is simply impossible to detect it with modern brain equipment.
Zhang Zixing usually brings Superintelligence with him, so he has a certain degree of dependence. During this period, Superintelligence has to concentrate on studying ice and snow, so he spends most of his time in the underground base of Zhaixing Tower. How could he expect that it would be at this time? , Zhang Zixing was poisoned, and after a brief analysis, it can be concluded that this was not accidental, but intentional.
Zhang Zixing was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that as a dignified emperor, he would be plotted unknowingly. Moreover, with his true immortal body, he couldn't resist this strange poison. From the time analysis, it should be What happened in the past few days. In anger, Zhang Zixing sent Tianying to secretly investigate the matter, but found nothing suspicious. During this period, the daily life and food were the same as in the past, and there was no abnormality, and most of the food was made by Jiang Wenqiang himself. Cooking, coupled with recent surveillance investigations, have ruled out the possibility of poisoning by the chamberlain or the palace maid. If Jiang Wenqiang personally poisoned it, he simply does not believe it. So, where does the problem come from?
He took Shang Qingjun to the base for testing, and found that Shang Qingjun was also poisoned by the same poison. He then knocked out several palace maids and chamberlains for testing. Unexpectedly, without exception, according to secret investigations and tests, most of the palace maids were poisoned. Everyone, including the queen and concubines, were all poisoned by the same poison - this turned out to be a large-scale poisoning incident!
In order to avoid unnecessary panic, Zhang Zixing did not announce the news to the public, but stepped up the investigation secretly. He had also suspected that Daji was responsible, but after analysis and testing, he found that it seemed to have nothing to do with Daji, and Daji himself I was also poisoned by this poison.
After comprehensive investigation and analysis, Zhang Zixing finally targeted drinking water. As expected, the well in the palace had become a poisoned well, and the Yuquan water in Xishan that Jiang Wenqiang used to cook or make tea for Zhang Zixing was also poisoned.
Sure enough, it was a premeditated conspiracy. Zhang Zixing calmed down and analyzed that when the New Deal was implemented in the world, if something like this happened, it was either people who were resentful of the New Deal or people who took the opportunity to make a difference, and those who had the courage to poison the emperor
, and also knew that Jiang Wenqiang liked to use Xishan spring water, so he was probably not an ordinary person, and must be involved with the palace. In this way, the scope was greatly reduced.
Contacted by the recent disappearance of the Shadow Guards sent to Mianchi to monitor the movements of the four princes, Zhang Zixing frowned tightly - if Super Brain hadn't discovered it in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable, and he was trapped in a terrible conspiracy.
You don’t realize it yet! But now that you have understood the other party’s trick, and the other party doesn’t know this, it’s time to turn the light into darkness, and then turn around and catch those guys with ulterior motives.
It's just that the toxin seems to be very troublesome, and even the super brain has no good solution for the moment, because this unknown "poison" is equivalent to a kind of germ with strong regeneration ability and intelligence, and the ability to adapt to the environment is very tenacious, which is why those
Even after food is cooked at high temperatures, the causes of toxicity still cannot be removed. Although modern drugs have a good inhibitory effect on them, these bacteria soon developed surprising drug resistance and miraculously regained their vitality.
.Zhang Zixing relied on the special true immortal body, used the Yellow Emperor's Heart Technique, and combined with some medicines, finally eliminated the toxin from the body.
The problem is that although Shang Qingjun and the others have gone through double cultivation, they have only barely reached the power of the Condensation Stage of cultivation. They cannot eradicate the toxins just by relying on medicine or external force. It seems that they have to find another way.
While Zhang Zixing calmly pretended to continue using the poisonous water without knowing anything, he asked Sun Ao to step up Tianying's work and focus on certain characters for investigation.
The investigation has not yielded any results, but another piece of news came that surprised Zhang Zixing - Caiyun Tongzi Yun had turned around, and had even gone to the Imperial Master's annex to look for the "Brother Xiaoyao". According to the Shadow Guard's report, Yun
After searching for Xiaoyaozi to no avail, he left a letter and then disappeared in the area of Prince Yue's Mansion.
Zhang Zixing's mind was spinning very fast: Caiyun boy's purpose for coming to Chaoge last time was to be ordered by Nuwa to use the magic talisman to stop praying for rain; this time he comes again, I'm afraid it won't just be to visit him, the "eldest brother" whom he has only met once.
Well, did the saintly empress have any special "instructions"? Also, why did Caiyun boy disappear in the area of Prince Yue's Mansion? That area is the "high-end residential area" for the clan nobles. From the last contact with Caiyun boy,
I learned that he didn’t know anyone well in Chaoge, so why this time...
The more Zhang Zixing thought about it, the more something was wrong. He quickly transformed into a Xiaoyaosanren and went to the Imperial Master's Villa in Chaoge City. When he saw that the Imperial Master had finally returned, he quickly handed over the letter. Zhang Zixing opened it and saw that Caiyun Tongzi's general message was
Since our last farewell, I have missed my brother very much and came here to visit. Unfortunately, my brother is not here. I leave a message here and will definitely visit again someday.
Zhang Zixing asked his servants how many hours had passed since Caiyun boy left, and he couldn't help but feel deeply regretful. Fortunately, Yun Fan said that he would come to visit another day. He told his servants that if the boy came again, he must keep him, and he would immediately report the news. Come.
At this time, news of the arrival of the four major princes came, and Zhang Zixing keenly felt that there was bound to be a storm in Chaoge.
When the four princes entered Chaoge, it was a day of rest for the court meeting, and it would take two days before they would formally go to court. The four of them had their own thoughts and went to the arranged post house to rest.
Although the emperor has only been on the throne for eight years, his civil and military skills are unparalleled, and his reputation is admired by the world. Under the prestige, the four people with evil intentions can't help but feel uneasy, even if they have been in touch with Wei Zi for a long time. E Chongyu didn't have much confidence in his heart. Fortunately, he had already planned that if Wei Ziqi succeeded, he could restore the old system and gain greater benefits; if Wei Ziqi failed, he would have a pawn to protect him. Handsome, he turns his back on others and refuses to recognize anyone. When there is benefit, we all work together. When there are difficulties, it is natural that the dead Taoist friend should not die the poor Taoist. There are other three princes who have the same idea as him.
In fact, Wei Ziqi also understood this, but since he had decided to take this path, he had no choice. After all, he had endured it for too long.
On the second day after the four major princes settled in Chaoge, the Shadow Guards finally received good news from the other side of the courtyard: Caiyun Boy was visiting again.
In the other courtyard, Yun Fan was sitting in the hall, casually drinking the tea served by his servants. Although this kind of tea was very popular among the nobles due to the emperor's relationship, Caiyun boy just couldn't get used to the bitter taste. It seems that even ordinary wine is much better than this.
"But Brother Yun is here?" A familiar voice in the courtyard made Caiyun's face light up, and he quickly got up and walked out.
Sure enough, the person who came was none other than his brother Xiaoyaozi, whom he met last time in Chaoge. Although the scar on the left face greatly disfigured his appearance, there was a familiar feeling of intimacy in Caiyun's eyes.
Caiyun boy took two steps forward and bowed deeply: "Yun Fan greets Brother Xiaoyao."
Zhang Zixing looked at the sincere smile on Caiyun's face and couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed. He stepped forward and took his hand affectionately, walked into the hall and sat down, and said: "Brother Yun, it has been a few months since we last saw each other. I miss you so much." , My brother happened to be out on important business the day before yesterday, so I left you waiting. I feel really sorry for you. Fortunately, my dear brother is here again today, and I am very happy for you. Today, you and I will never get home without getting drunk."
Caiyun boy couldn't help but salivate when he thought of the tempting wine last time, and then he showed a look of disappointment: "Brother Xiaoyao's kindness, Yun Fan can only accept it, but it has been out of season recently, I will definitely get drunk with my brother another day."
Seeing that he was so abnormal, Zhang Zixing was moved in his heart and said deliberately: "In that case, I can't force myself as a brother. Why is Brother Yun not having time to come to Chaoge to visit my brother if he is not in the palace of Nuwa?"
Caiyun boy showed a look of shame: "To be honest with you, I am not here on a special trip this time. I have other important matters. Please forgive me."
Zhang Zixing's ears suddenly perked up when he heard Caiyun boy mention the word "priority": "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Brother Yun has this heart, and I'm very happy for him. I just don't know what Brother Yun's important matter is, so I can be my brother. Help me."
Caiyun boy lowered his head: "Thank you for your kindness, brother Xiaoyao. It's just that I have other secrets and it's inconvenient to disclose this matter. Please forgive me."
When Zhang Zixing's plan failed, he came up with another plan: "Brother Yun, what are you talking about? It must be the saint's empress who has other secret instructions. In this case, I don't need to ask more questions. In fact, you came to the house the day before yesterday to find me but you couldn't find me. In fact, you are a brother.
He fell into someone else's conspiracy..."
Caiyun boy showed an angry look and stood up: "Brother Xiaoyao, how dare you, a rat, to plot against you? Wait until I find you to take out your anger!"
Zhang Zixing sighed: "It's strange to say that I keep a low profile for my brother. I don't have any grudges with others on weekdays, and I don't know why I fell into other people's ways... Dear brother, do you still remember the wine you drank here last time?"
Caiyun boy naturally had a deep memory of the wine, and he nodded quickly. Zhang Zixing then said: "This wine is brewed by my brother with a secret method. It has a fragrant taste and long lasting power. It is one of the best in the world. And the formula is the only one."
It's the water from the Jade Spring in Xishan Mountain. I don't know who poisoned the spring recently. The poison is very weird. It's just latent at the moment. When it attacks, it will be extremely violent and life-threatening. If I didn't have some cultivation skills as a brother,
I still can’t detect it. This poison is not trivial. I tried my best for my brother, but I can only suppress it, but I can’t completely eradicate the poison for a while.”
Caiyun boy's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he seemed to be shocked. Then he stopped talking, but finally endured it and said: "Such a thing is happening! Little brother... I also have thousands of years of merit, so I should help my elder brother to get rid of the poison.
.”
Zhang Zixing secretly saw the strange expression on the boy Caiyun's face, and he knew it well, and replied: "Brother Yu has been practicing for many years, and he has finally achieved an immortal body, so why bother Brother Yun to take action? Although this poison is difficult to get rid of, it is not difficult either.
As a brother, I just need to put in a little more effort. I have other things to worry about. My brother has a couple of Taoist monks who love each other. They were also poisoned due to drinking. Because their cultivation is too shallow, I think
I can't get rid of the poison, so I'm worried. Although this poison is latent at the moment, once it attacks, it will be difficult to save him. This thief is really hateful. If I find out, I will crush him to ashes!"
Seeing him gnashing his teeth, Caiyun boy felt very sad and said, "I see, I wonder where my sister-in-law is now?"
"To avoid being harmed by the rats, I will temporarily place him in a secluded cave, but the poison..." As he spoke, Zhang Zixing let out a long sigh, with a sad look on his face.
"Brother Xiaoyao, don't worry," Caiyun boy hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Actually... I may know a little bit about the poisoning, and there must be some misunderstandings..."
