Chapter 273: Everything Follows
Xiao Ren promised Zhao Kuangyin, saying that if Zhao Kuangyin agreed to cooperate with him in this transaction, Xiao Ren would immediately give an antidote to remove the poison from Zhao Kuangyin and his entourage, so as to resolve the crisis of the palace's life. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Up to now, Zhao Kuangyin still had doubts about what Xiao Ren said, but his worries about the people of the Great Song Dynasty and the Zhao family overrode all his doubts. He didn't want to ruin the Zhao family's world because of his own thoughts, or because of his mistakes.
Besides, thinking about it, in fact, for the Great Song Dynasty, in addition to handing back the golden statue that did not belong to him, and also having to deploy some people to escort the things that the golden statue was incarnated after being burned, there would be no other impact and loss at all, so why not do it.
So Zhao Kuangyin agreed to the deal.
After Zhao Kuangyin agreed, Xiao Ren immediately turned around and put down his words:
"Then, after dawn, hurry to the treasury to take the golden statue and transport it to the hinterland of the Xiao people in Guizhou, this is also for the safety of your entire palace.
The poison in your body is highly volatile and contagious, and if the Jin people continue to stay in the palace, more and more people will be infected. ”
After saying that, Xiao Ren walked towards the door, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to chase, but his whole body was weak and could not move his body.
Zhao Kuangyin exerted all his strength and shouted hoarsely:
"Wait...... Wait a minute! You haven't given me the antidote yet!"
Xiao Ren turned around and said:
"I've put the antidote on the table, and you'll see it when you wake up tomorrow morning. Go back to sleep, and I'll tell you the antidote in your sleep. ”
Before the words were completely finished, Xiao Ren had already turned into a transparent air and disappeared, and the ghost baboon mask fell to the ground with a thud because it had lost its carrier.
Zhao Kuangyin was startled by the sound of the ghost baboon mask, but the sound did not make his condition continue to deteriorate, but shocked him so refreshed that he sat up from the bed with a grunt. And before that, he was already lingering on the sickbed, and his face couldn't even grind the pillow.
Zhao Kuangyin thought to himself, what is going on with all this, how can his body be better as soon as Xiao Ren leaves?
No, there's definitely something wrong with that!
Later, Zhao Kuangyin sat on the bed and looked at the situation around him again, recalled the conversation with Xiao Ren, and realized that he was dreaming just now.
And before going to bed, the ghost baboon mask that Zhao Kuangyin held in his hand may also be because Zhao Kuangyin accidentally fell to the ground when he turned over, and the poplar wood hit the ground and made a sound, which woke Zhao Kuangyin up.
In this way, everything just now was a dream? a real, and shivering dream!
Zhao Kuangyin wiped his sweat and made sure that he was indeed just dreaming. But he thinks that the dream is so real, and every word that Xiao people said to him is still in his ears, could it really be that Xiao people gave him dreams, or hinted at something!
The more Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, the more uneasy he became, so he ordered someone to go into the house and light the oil lamp. After the oil lamp was turned on, Zhao Kuangyin checked every corner of the house to confirm that there was nothing unusual or untouched.
However, it was no coincidence that the book was not written, and when Zhao Kuangyin unintentionally turned his head, he found that there was an extra wine bottle made of gold on his desktop!
Zhao Kuangyin was sure that before he fell asleep, there must be no wine bottle on the table, so he quickly picked up the wine bottle and studied it.
After inspection, Zhao Kuangyin concluded that this wine bottle was made of pure gold, and the fishy smell emitted by the red liquid filled in the wine bottle was undoubtedly the bloody smell that Zhao Kuangyin had been accustomed to for many years!
How could there be an extra glass of blood wine on the table for no reason! Zhao Kuangyin frowned, unable to figure out this strange phenomenon.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly popped up in Zhao Kuangyin's mind, and the voice was Xiao Ren!
"The blood in the bottle is my blood, the poison of the golden man, and there is no solution in this world except the blood of me and my brother.
As soon as the morning dawns, you order someone to quickly find nine large vats and fill them with water, but you must use the clear water flowing in the river, and do not use the stagnant pool water.
When all nine jars are filled with water, divide my blood wine into nine equal parts and drop it into the water, and then take a scoop from one of the jars for you and your poisoned attendants to drink, and you will be able to detoxify it.
After the poison is detoxified, you quickly take out the golden statue, and then put one in a large vat, and transport it to the cave in Guizhou along with the water in the vat, so as to ensure the safety of the entourage and prevent more people from being infected. ”
After reverberating in his mind, Zhao Kuangyin began to be confused again. He looked at the ghost baboon mask and asked himself in his heart, isn't this really a dream? Or did Xiao Ren really give himself a dream, and everything Xiao Ren said in his dream was also true!
In any case, just in case, Zhao Kuangyin immediately ordered people to go to the small river outside the palace to get nine jars of clear water, and then personally dripped the blood wine evenly into the nine large vats, and summoned all the entourage who escorted the statue of Jin some time ago, so that everyone could supervise each other and drink the blood and water taken out of the jar.
After that, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly went to the treasury and personally supervised the nine golden statues to be taken out of the treasury and then put into the vat.
Before the golden statue was transported away along with the vat, Zhao Kuangyin recalled what Xiao Ren said last night, so he personally checked the defects on the golden statue.
After the results were checked, sure enough, as Xiao Ren said, Zhao Kuangyin saw eight different defects on the golden statue that was 'imprisoned' in the treasury under special care, which could be said to be stricter than the heavenly prison, and it was obvious.
These eight parts are the facial features, upper abdomen and lower abdomen, hands and feet of the golden statue.
These golden figures were as vivid as real people, but now these parts are not so much defects as if they had been gouged out alive, and the abdomen and heart had been gouged out, as if they had been eaten by monsters, or had been subjected to cruel criminal laws.
In addition, the ninth golden statue does not seem to have any wear on the surface, but the inside must have been "rotten" for a long time, because Xiao said that the brain of a golden statue will be hollowed out from the inside.
So, Zhao Kuangyin still had the last bit of luck, knocked on the head of the intact golden statue, and found that it was indeed empty, so he was convinced of Xiao Ren's words.
In the end, following the instructions of the Xiao people, after the nine golden statues "dressed" the coats made of water tanks, Zhao Kuangyin told the Xiao people what they told him, and emphasized the admonition to the escort entourage, and the entourage remembered Zhao Kuangyin's entrustment and escorted the golden statue back to Guizhou......
