Volume 2 The Dark Brotherhood Chapter 38 Resolving the Conflict
Xue Zang didn't answer his question, but Bai Fenghan was already clearly aware that the remnants of the North Continent were still there, and the Dark Brotherhood, which was regarded as a nightmare by the nations, still existed, but the kingdoms knew nothing about it.
This frightened him.
There are all kinds of people in the world, whether it is a cloth-clothed common man such as a peddler or a cultivator who is beyond mortals, everyone who sees or even can't see it may become an assassin in the next second, who can not be afraid?
Hidden in the market, hidden in the crowd, pervasive.
This is the terrible thing about the Dark Brotherhood, and it is also the crux of the fear that makes the nations feel so jealous.
Qu Yi City is not far from the imperial capital, but it is only a two- or three-day journey, and Bai Fenghan, who originally planned to rush back to Yunmeng Mountain Villa and then retreat to get rid of hidden physical dangers, had to reconsider.
At this moment, the black cat squatting on his shoulder jumped on the edge of the window, opened the corner of the window, and looked up at the starry sky.
Ba Fenghan put away his thoughts, only to realize that it was getting late.
After fleeing for several days, even if the cultivator's various functions were higher than ordinary people, he felt tired at this time, and after telling Lei Yihu to be careful, he immediately lay down on the bed and slept in his clothes.
With Thunder Yihu there, he could sleep a little more peacefully.
The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Ba Fenghan had already gotten up early, took out two storage rings and placed them on the table, one was a gift from Cheng Xue's father, and the other was from the old man in the brocade robe.
The threats that lurked in the shadows were like fog rising from the plains, and he felt that he was struggling.
He has always been a cautious person, thinking about the 'what if' that could cause the worst outcome, if he can't improve his strength as soon as possible, even if he has the support of Thunder Yihu and Xue Zang, he still can't feel at ease.
He probed his spiritual sense into the two storage rings one after another, and the expression on his face became richer.
The black cat lying on the table and combing his hair had no idea what was in the ring, but he kept an eye on the change in his expression, and at this time he muttered in his heart that the poor boy had entered the city and raised his hind legs high and buried his head in it.
The space in the ring given by Cheng Xue's father is dozens of cubic meters, and all kinds of well-preserved fairy herbs and elixirs are piled up in it.
For most of the elixirs in it, Bai Fenghan had never seen it, but the few he knew were indeed as Cheng Xue's father said, just one plant was enough to cause the pharmacist to rush wildly, such as the thunder grass with cyan electric mangs circulating on the leaves, which was the main material for refining the thunder pill.
The reason why there are very few pharmacists who can refine this pill is that the process is cumbersome and difficult, and the fundamental reason is the scarcity of materials, which leads to many pharmacists being unable to practice.
Practice makes perfect.
After a cursory inspection, except for a few elixirs with only one or two plants, there were as few as a dozen other elixirs, and as for Lei Luo Grass and several other elixirs that he knew, they were measured in bundles.
As long as he is willing, with these elixirs, he can smash a great medicine master alive.
In comparison, the contents of the ring of the brocade-robed old man had become worthless, but for him, it was what he needed the most at the moment.
A piece of heart-protecting soft armor in the mahogany box, the texture is silky, the color is golden, enough to resist the fatal blow of the spirit below the fifth order, it should be a gift from His Majesty, the old man is reluctant to wear it, and has always treasured it.
In addition, there is a bottle of blood coagulation pill and blood stasis pill, in addition to two soul storage bottles, and thousands of high-grade spirit stones.
For a royal fourth-order worship, it is indeed a little poor.
Just as his mind was on the ring, the black cat on the table suddenly stood still, and his ears were keenly pricked up.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Ba Fenghan didn't get up to open the door, and asked while putting away the ring, "Who?"
"Zhenxi General Zhong Yan came to visit about the eldest princess. A familiar voice came from outside the door.
Bai Fenghan frowned slightly, got up to open the door, and then turned sideways to invite him to the table and sit down.
He looked at the man in the usual uniform on the opposite side, and the first thing that came to his mind was whether the little princess was forced by himself, and he had told the Zhenxi general the whole story, but after thinking about it carefully, if the imperial court knew that it involved Nanlu Wufu, I am afraid that it would not be Zhong Yan alone at this time.
At this moment, the man in regular clothes with a somewhat sallow face on the opposite side slowly spoke, "The eldest princess has told me the truth. ”
Ba Fenghan was shocked in his heart, but his face did not change, and he continued: "In the past, I grew up watching His Highness in the imperial capital, although she is usually perverse, but her nature is not bad, although in this matter, His Highness's actions are indeed inappropriate, but you poisoned and coerced the princess because of this, did you do something wrong?"
Yesterday, the little princess found Zhang Lu and asked him to call the pharmacist of the army to detoxify, if it wasn't for Zhang Lu to send someone to report, he was still kept in the dark, after learning that the little princess was poisoned, he called all the pharmacists to come for treatment, but the result was without exception, everything was normal, but the little princess was extremely sure that she had been poisoned, and only after he asked again and again did she tell the reason for the matter.
According to this, the imperial capital will take two days to travel, and the little princess can't leave Bafenghan for more than ten hours, so it is difficult to ask His Majesty for help, Zhong Yan has no choice but to run this trip in person, hoping to resolve the grievances between the two.
Seeing that Ba Feng was speechless, he continued: "Regardless of who is right and who is wrong, since you can bring the eldest princess back safe and sound, then you have already made your attitude clear, the so-called poisoning is just a means of self-preservation, as for the grievances between the two of you can be big or small in Zhong's opinion, why don't you just turn the conflict into a jade silk? If you nod, I guarantee in the honor of General Zhenxi, Your Highness will never do anything to hurt you in the future, how about it?"
Speaking of this, it was difficult for Bai Fenghan not to nod, not to mention that since he decided to take the little princess out of the Warcraft Forest, he never thought about harming her again.
Ba Feng nodded briskly, but at the same time put forward two conditions: first, the so-called guarantee, not without empty words, Zhong Yan needs to personally repair a book, and jointly draw a pledge with the little princess, and second, provide him with a safe and secluded place in the city until he leaves the city.
The young man in front of him was acting too cautiously.
Zhong Yan felt a little funny in his heart, but he didn't get angry because of it, the two conditions proposed by the young man were not a problem for him.
After the matter was negotiated, Zhong Yan called the little princess who had been standing outside the door in.
As soon as she saw Ba Fenghan, the little princess threw him a big white eye. Ba Fenghan pretended not to see, and asked Xiao Er for paper, pen and ink, and put them in front of Zhong Yan.
After the writing was completed and the two of them drew later, Ba Fenghan carefully folded the paper and put it in the storage ring.
Zhong Yan said: "After the matter of the residence is arranged, I will order someone to inform you, can I give the antidote to the eldest princess now?"
Ba Fenghan first confessed to him, and then said: "Dissatisfied with the general, the poisoning is just a lie made up temporarily for fear of the princess's revenge, the princess is the daughter of a country, if I really poison the princess, wouldn't it be a big rebellion." ”
Zhong Yan instantly understood, and glanced at the little princess, no wonder those pharmacists couldn't find the abnormality despite all their efforts.
The little princess was about to have a seizure when she heard this, but thinking that Uncle Zhong was still by her side, she had to endure it again and again.
The matter was settled, Zhong Yan didn't stay any longer, said that he was busy with official business, and then left.
The little princess fell behind, and said in her heart: "Great villain, you actually lied to me from the beginning, and I still helped you hide those two Nanlu people!"
She paused, and suddenly thought of the pill that Bai Fenghan had given herself twice before, and asked directly, "Since it's not a poison, then what are you giving me?" Why do I have a stomachache?"
Ba Feng smiled coldly: "The first time was a berry that I collected in the Warcraft Forest, and as for the second time, ......"
He turned his head to look at the black cat on the table.
When the black cat saw him looking at him, he gloated a little and cocked his ass at the little princess.
How could the little princess not understand?
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Bai Fenghan, her body trembled with anger, but she couldn't say a word, at this time, her stomach was overturning, and she hurriedly covered her mouth and ran out.
