Chapter 270: Poison

Anthony followed the clever young man and stepped into Yang Haonian's mansion.

Today's Yang Haonian is not the same as in the past, not only is he respected as the recognized emperor in the underground world, but even in the officialdom, he has a close relationship with many powerful aristocratic officials, and his power is monstrous.

Now there are two black and white roads in the imperial capital, who doesn't know the name of "Yang Ye"? Whether they liked him or not, at least no one dared to ignore his existence.

Anthony wanted to find him as soon as he returned to the imperial capital, and it was precisely because of his extensive connections that he should have the information he wanted.

But all this is due to the opportunity given to him by Anthony. And even now, the former little hooligan can walk almost sideways in the imperial capital, and others still look at Anthony's face behind him, and they don't want to or dare to deal with him.

It stands to reason that Yang Haonian has received such a favor from Anthony, and it is natural to be grateful to Dade.

But Yang Haonian may not think so.

Because he is a proud man, even if he has been down, he has never changed this. In his opinion, he has the current position of power, which is naturally due to Anthony. But it is also essential to work your own. Anthony just provided an opportunity to seize the opportunity to achieve fame and manage the current situation, which is also a reflection of his ability!

But because of Anthony's help, because of Anthony's deep influence, everyone took his success for granted. Whoever sits in his place can also succeed.

This is something that Yang Haonian absolutely can't bear!

So when the Holy See of Light found him, although on the surface he was threatened, he had to obey. But deep down, it's not because of this pride mentality.

Only when Anthony dies can he get out of his shadow and truly gain everyone's approval.

"Chief, long time no see!"

Yang Haonian was notified and waited in the house early. Anthony had just crossed the threshold, and he had already greeted him warmly.

No matter what he thought in his heart, at least on the surface, he was still the same little rascal he used to be.

Anthony's brow furrowed at the sight of him, but he quickly stretched out as if nothing had happened.

"Yang Ye's style is getting more and more now."

The so-called nourishment and migration of the body, residence and migration. Yang Hao has been in the upper position for a long time, and the command has given orders, and his temperament and personality have naturally changed greatly. When I look at it now, although the facial features of the eyes and nose have not changed much from before, if I see the old knowledge, I am afraid that I will not dare to recognize each other rashly at the first time.

Yang Haonian listened, although he knew that Anthony was joking, but he still bent down and saluted, waving his hand again and again.

"That's what the boss called, but he killed me. If it weren't for the help of the leader, where would I be Yang Haonian today, and there would be no Yang Ye. ”

In the laughter and conversation between the two, there is a vague sense of simplicity when they first met. At that time, the little hooligans and other "four heroes of the Southern Union" were still wandering around in the imperial capital, doing nothing. Anthony was also new to the imperial capital, and no one knew him.

But in the blink of an eye, one is already a well-known Yang Ye in the imperial capital. The other is the pillar of today's glorious empire, the imperial general who is frantically sought after by countless hot-blooded young people.

While talking and laughing, Anthony came to an elegant room under the guidance of Yang Haonian. The two of them sat down, but the tea set had already been set up on the table.

Yang Haonian waved away all his subordinates, closed the door in person, and when he walked back, his face was already solemn.

He asked Anthony to come over, naturally not to drink tea and catch up. And Anthony didn't come alone to joke with him.

"Boss, you shouldn't have come back. The current imperial capital is very dangerous! ”

As soon as Yang Haonian sat down, he didn't gossip, and went straight to the point.

Anthony frowned: "Why?" ”

Yang Haonian's face was gloomy, and he said: "Do you still remember, when you were in charge of the army, you encountered a master assassination. At that time, you recognized them as members of the Holy See of Light, and asked me to keep an eye on them. ”

"Not bad." Anthony nodded.

Yang Haonian continued: "I have been operating in the underground world for some time, and I have a lot of eyes and ears. After careful inquiry, some clues have been found. Vaguely, I just feel that there is a conspiracy here, a huge conspiracy against you. It's just that the other party is also careful, and my people have not been able to find out the key. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Haonian suddenly patted his head and laughed at himself in annoyance.

"Look at me, I even forgot to pour tea for you."

He said as he lifted the delicate teapot and poured Anthony and himself a cup of tea.

Anthony looked at his hand holding the teapot, stunned and a little distracted.

Yang Haonian laughed and said, "This is the top tea that the people below have brought back from outside - of course, you know me, chief, where can I tell if the tea is good or bad." But I heard what they said well, so I'll give you a taste. ”

After speaking, he raised his neck, and he was not afraid of hot water, so he drank it directly.

After drinking, he also showed Anthony the bottom of the cup to show that he had drunk it all in one gulp. It seems that he is not humble, he really can't taste tea, this posture is like drinking.

When Anthony saw it, he sighed inexplicably, but said softly: "The tea is good and the tea is bad, and it is always used to drink." If it is to taste tea or quench thirst, it can be regarded as a proper use, in fact, there is no need to study too carefully. ”

Yang Haonian listened to him, as if he was referring to something, but also seemed to be a flat narrative, and he couldn't be sure for a while, so he had to continue the previous topic.

“…… It wasn't until recently that we stumbled upon a big piece of news! ”

When Yang Haonian said this, he couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw Anthony reaching out to pick up the teacup and was about to lean it against his lips.

Anthony had a slap in his hand, and the cup stopped in mid-air.

"What's the news?"

Yang Haonian's heart jumped violently, thinking that Anthony had discovered something, but it turned out that he was nervous, and stopped talking.

But at this moment, looking at the teacup hovering in mid-air, Yang Haonian suddenly had an impulse to stop Anthony from drinking the cup of tea and confessing everything to the boss.

The thought came from nowhere, but it was gone in a flash.

Yang Haonian knew that the momentary hesitation just now was the guilt he had hidden deep in his heart. He knows very well that just a simple sentence is enough to decide a person's fate, as well as life and death.

But he still didn't stop it, but continued, and watched with mixed emotions as Anthony finally drank the cup of tea that had been carefully prepared for him.

"It turns out that the Holy See of Light has already regarded you as a heretic, secretly sent a master to the imperial capital, laid a net of heaven and earth, and then lured you back to besiege and kill!"

Anthony put down the cup, and it was empty.

"It's not surprising that the Holy See of Light wants to deal with me. However, I led the army to fight abroad, and there was no good reason, and it was not easy for me to return. So they falsely proclaimed that His Majesty was seriously ill and dying? ”

Yang Haonian said: "It can't be said that it is a false decree, according to the secret news in the palace, His Majesty the King has indeed not been to the court for many days. The important ministers of the empire have not seen His Majesty in person for a long time. ”

Anthony said coldly: "But no matter what, there should be no doubt that someone in the palace is involved in this matter." Do you have any questions, who wants to deal with me? ”

"This, with my ability, I can't penetrate the palace for the time being, but I can't find out."

Yang Haonian hesitated for a moment and said again.

"Boss, on the side of the Bright Sect, the manpower dispatched this time is very large, and the strength is even more terrifying. Cardinals, cardinals, and other gold-level powerhouses combined up to more than ten people, and even the Pope personally came out. In addition, there are the two major teams of 'Sword of Light' and 'Judgment', although their strength is slightly inferior, but their number is larger. With so many people setting up an ambush, although you are strong, I am afraid that it will not be easy to deal with. ”

Anthony sighed again and said, "Yes, they have also paid for it this time." ”

Suddenly, the conversation changed.

"People often say, 'When a man is about to die, his words are good', although I am the one who is about to die, I still want to hear you say something from your heart: Why?"

Yang Haonian was startled, Huo Ran stood up, and unconsciously took two steps back.

"Boss, boss, I don't understand what you're talking about."

According to the time calculation, the poison in Anthony's body should have started to attack at this time. But seeing that his face was still calm, neither painful nor panicked, Yang Haonian couldn't help but be surprised.

"You said that these teas were brought back from the people below, and this foreign place, I don't know if it is the Holy Empire? Even, the headquarters of the Holy See of Light? It's really precious, but it's a pity that it's a highly poisonous poison. However, I'm curious, the exercises you cultivate have such obvious dark attributes, how could the Light Sect ask you to cooperate? And aren't you worried that they will kill you after they deal with me? ”

"You, you, you're not, you're not poisoned?!" Yang Haonian could finally be sure at this time that Anthony was not forced to be calm, but was indeed fine.

If Anthony hadn't died of poisoning, he would have died!
