"In this case, I'll go talk to Brother Tian about this." Avril thought for a while and said.
"Okay, but you'd better decide as soon as possible. We don't have much time." Gongsun You nodded and said.
"I know." After Avril said, she stood up and left Nangong Aotian's study with Gongsun You.
"Brother Tian, come here." Avril walked into the living room and said to Nangong Aotian who was sitting there waiting.
"Okay." Seeing Avril's anxious look, Nangong Aotian knew that something must have happened, so he agreed and went to her bedroom with Avril.
"Baby, what's wrong? Is there something going on at home? You don't look right." Nangong Aotian entered Avril's bedroom, hugged Avril gently and said with concern, "Is there anything you need to tell your husband? My husband is here."
Nothing will happen."
"Brother Tian, you...can you go to my house with me?" Avril looked at Nangong Aotian with eyes full of expectation.
"Yes. Of course." Nangong Aotian said immediately, "What happened at your family?"
"Yes." Avril leaned in Nangong Aotian's arms and told Nangong Aotian what Gongsun You told her word for word. Then she said, "Brother Tian, I'm so scared."
"Silly girl, my husband is here, don't worry, nothing will happen." Nangong Aotian lowered his head and kissed Avril lightly on her forehead.
"Yes." Hiding in Nangong Aotian's arms, Avril's anxious heart gradually calmed down. "Brother Tian, you are so good to Wei'er."
"Silly girl, you are my obedient and good wife, how can I treat you badly?" Nangong Aotian said gently, "By the way, where is your home? Is it far from here?"
"Don't you know that Chiyan City is more than 1,500 kilometers north of the imperial capital?" Avril raised her head and looked at Nangong Aotian and said, "The headquarters of our mercenary family is in that city."
"Oh, I know that city. I heard that there are many mercenaries in that city and it is also very prosperous. It turns out that your family's headquarters is there, no wonder." Nangong Aotian said, "Let's set off tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Avril thought for a moment and said.
After walking out of Avril's room, Nangong Aotian immediately went to see his masters Li Youran and Xiang Tianming.
"Tian'er, did something happen to the mercenary family?" Li Youran looked at Nangong Aotian and said.
"Yes. So I plan to go to the mercenary family with Wei'er tomorrow." Nangong Aotian said.
"Is the situation a bit serious?" Zhao Nanshan looked at Nangong Aotian and said with a frown.
"Master, I don't know if you have heard of a poison." Nangong Aotian looked at Li Youran and the others and said, "This poison is very slow and can lie dormant in the human body for three years. There is no cure for its onset after three years. And
This poison is colorless and odorless. According to people from the mercenary family, some people in the mercenary family have been poisoned by this poison." Then Nangong Aotian explained in detail the symptoms of poisoning that Avril mentioned.
"Soul-Eating Grass." After Nangong Aotian finished speaking, Xiang Tianming thought about it and suddenly frowned and said, "According to you, it should be this kind of poison."
"You're talking about..." Li Youran and Zhao Nanshan also widened their eyes at the same time.
"What's wrong?" Nangong Aotian looked at Li Youran and the others in confusion and said, "Is this Soul-Eating Grass very poisonous?"
"Soul-Eating Grass is extremely rare in the entire continent, and Soul-Eating Grass has a special characteristic. Soul-Eating Grass that is less than five hundred years old has no toxicity. Only Soul-Eating Grass that is more than five hundred years old will have a very terrifying poison.
It is toxic, and this poison is colorless and odorless. It can lurk in the human meridians and slowly merge with the human body's meridians. After a certain period of time, it will slowly attack and destroy all the human body's meridians. This kind of soul-eating grass
As far as I know, there is no cure for the poison. Could it be that someone in the mercenary family has been poisoned by this poison?" Xiang Tianming frowned and looked at Nangong Aotian and said, "If this is really the case, then there will be some trouble."
"Does this poison have any special symptoms?" Nangong Aotian looked at Xiang Tianming and asked.
"People who have been poisoned by this kind of poison will not have any symptoms before the poison takes effect. Only when the poison takes effect, will it gradually appear. When the poison takes hold, the first thing is that the meridians become more and more fragile. It becomes more and more difficult to gather fighting energy.
The strength will decline rapidly. Then the meridians will slowly become rigid. Finally, the meridians all over the body will become blocked and rigid, and the person will gradually die." Xiang Tianming said, "This kind of poisonous weed is extremely rare in the entire continent, and most people will not use it.
Only those who are very close to the poison can succeed. But once the poison is successfully poisoned, even warriors at the level of Emperor Martial cannot force the poison out of the body."
"Is it difficult to administer this kind of poison?" Nangong Aotian looked at Xiang Tianming and asked.
"It's very difficult to poison." Xiang Tianming nodded and said, "The poison of the soul-eating grass is very special. Even if it is a poisonous weed that is more than 500 years old, the time to poison it must be in March every year, at two o'clock in the evening when the yin energy is at its strongest.
Only by taking it to humans can the toxicity in the poisonous weeds be induced. What's more important is that this toxicity must be induced by a medicine to be effective."
"What kind of medicine?" Nangong Aotian asked quickly.
"Run the Dou Qi." Xiang Tianming said, "Only in March of every year, at two o'clock in the evening, after eating porridge made of Soul-eating Grass, you can practice Dou Qi. You can activate Dou Qi without knowing it.
The medicinal properties of the soul-eating grass. Otherwise, if one condition is not met, the medicinal properties of the soul-eating grass will not be triggered."
"So, it is very difficult to inject this kind of poison on several people at the same time." Nangong Aotian said with a frown.
"What? Is it possible that more than one person in the mercenary family has been poisoned by this kind of poison?" Li Youran frowned and asked after hearing what Nangong Aotian said. Xiang Tianming and the others also looked at Nangong Aotian.
"Yes, a total of five people were poisoned." Nangong Aotian frowned and said, "According to the person from the mercenary family, it is very likely that they were poisoned."
"Five people? How is this possible?" Li Youran and the others were shocked at the same time. "It is said that this soul-eating grass is a very rare poisonous weed. One or two of them would be great, right?"
Xiang Tianming frowned and said, "As far as I know, this kind of Soul-Eating Grass is extremely difficult to find. And five people need at least five Soul-Eating Grasses. One person must at least take porridge made from a whole Soul-Eating Grass.
it works."
"There is also an eighth-level Martial Saint warrior among them." Nangong Aotian said with a bitter smile.
"It seems that the mercenary family has been completely plotted this time. I think the risks encountered this time are not small." Li Youran frowned and said.
"In this case, Aotian, you'd better leave as soon as possible and have a look. If anything happens, come back and let us know right away." Li Youran thought for a moment and said, "The mercenary family is also a very powerful force in our Chinese Empire. We can't do it so easily.
was destroyed."
"Yes." Nangong Aotian said and already walked out.
After walking out of the secret room, Nangong Aotian immediately returned to the Duke's Mansion, then found Nangong Feng and Zuo Bingquan and told them that he would be away for a while, and then went to Shenglong City to talk to Nangong Lei.
Wen Nali also explained it. The next morning, he left the Chinese Imperial Capital with Gongsun You and headed for Chiyan City with the two Warcraft and Avril.
At this time, in the second prince's palace, the second prince was also discussing this matter with Cao Yucheng.
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door.
"Who?" Liu Baoguo asked.
"Your Highness, I am Li Yuanliang." A voice came from outside the door.
"Come in." Liu Baoguo called quickly.
"Your Highness, Avril from the mercenary family and Nangong Aotian have left the Duke's Mansion. Along with them is an intermediate martial artist who is a Martial Master. He should be someone sent by the mercenary family." Li Yuanliang came in and faced Liu Baoguo.
He saluted and said immediately.
"As expected, that boy also went." Liu Baoguo looked at Cao Yucheng and said, "Mr. Cao, what should we do now?"
"Besides the three of them, is there anyone else?" Cao Yucheng asked quickly.
"There are only two magical beasts owned by that boy." Li Yuanliang said immediately.
"Okay, it seems that our opportunity has finally come." Cao Yucheng looked at His Highness the Second Prince and said, "This time we can get rid of this kid."
"Okay, you can go down." The second prince waved to Li Yuanliang and said.
"Yes." Li Yuanliang responded and turned around and went out.
"What clever trick does Mr. Cao have?" Liu Baoguo looked at Cao Yucheng and asked.
"I have to send the news to the headquarters right now. I'm afraid it will be too late." Cao Yucheng said as he stood up and walked outside.
Cao Yucheng's tool for spreading the news is a fourth-level flying magical beast. It is similar to homing pigeons on the earth. However, this kind of magical beast is also extremely rare. Its flying speed is also very fast. Of course, it is far behind the wind chasing bird.
Being able to track the enemy like the Storm Chaser is just using the instinct of the monster to return home to convey the message.
