Chapter 225: The Secret of the Poison King
After a group of black horsemen who had met with Manyun Road entered the Xiao family camp, they bypassed the solemn and solemn Chinese army tent and entered an inconspicuous white tent on the left.
A thick blue tent that stands up to the sky and the earth divides the tent into two parts, with a large table in front of it, and a sturdy young man sitting on a high chair behind the desk handling the official documents on the case, and a golden crown on the top of his black hair shines brightly.
The report was transmitted, and as soon as the curtain of the outer tent was lifted, the black-skinned boy Xiao Long walked in grinning, followed by the black-armored masked man who was more than a punch higher than him.
Xiao Ze behind the table glanced up, his brows furrowed, and a tube of Zihao in his hand snapped directly on the case.
"Hachi! Disrespectful brother, do you want me to take off your other arm? ”
Xiao Long's face tightened, and the steps under his feet immediately took a big step back, giving way, "Sixth brother, please first!" ”
The curtain was lowered, and the guards waiting outside the tent were expressionless and did not move. But Xiao Shizi's roar just now proves that some of the previous secret rumors are not groundless.
It is said that at that time, the sixth son and the eighth prince fought, and it was only Xiao Ba who injured his brother because he failed to learn art, and his dislocated left arm was simply torn off by Xiao Ze, who was an eccentric compatriot brother.
According to the procedure of going out on patrol in a few days, the two people standing in the tent honestly reported what they heard along the way.
After Xiao Ze nodded in approval, the young man who had been stuffy in the black helmet for a long time took off his mask, took off his armor, and placed it on the wooden shelf on the left hand side of the desk, and walked quickly back to his companions who stood like shadows on both sides of the tent, one face still covered with a face towel, covering the bruises and bruises that had not yet subsided.
"You didn't have anyone check the origins of those two?" , glaring at the eighth brother again, Xiao Ze's tone was full of cold questioning.
"It was him...... The order of the sixth brother ......". Xiao Long responded without confidence, and there were some grievances on his face.
The eldest brother is very biased, just like the younger brothers and sisters in the family joked, if it weren't for the fact that the sixth brother's age was not much different from the eldest brother, otherwise the eldest brother would treat the sixth brother like a father.
As soon as the young man's mind came to his face, the condescending Xiao Ze could see it clearly.
He shouted coldly: "Wrongly entrust people." Is it a man's right to be? Get out! Immediately arrange for the soldiers and scouts who had seen the two men to find out the details. No one is allowed to approach within a radius of one mile from the camp, and I don't need to repeat this rule! ”
The temporary residence of Puzhen is not a secluded place, and it is inevitable that there are still local people and villagers near the camp, and they cannot be driven away for the sake of popularity, but recently the trouble has been sticking, and what needs to be watched out of is the prying eyes from the imperial court.
When Xiao Yuan, who has arranged another place to garrison, returns, the Xiao family's army still has to leave Pu Zhen as soon as possible.
Xiao Ze watched Xiao Long, who was leading the order, out of the account, picked up a few letters and newspapers again and read them. Pieces of paper covered with ink were filled into a small charcoal basin in front of the desk. The tongue of fire licks lightly.
Zuihou stopped for a moment on the basin, and was grabbed back into the palm of his hand by Xiao Ze.
After a while, Xiao Ze's slightly tired voice sounded behind the thick cyan curtain, "The escaped assassin from the Stacking Mansion has not been apprehended...... On the third day of the first month, Gao Zhou's funeral was buried in the butterfly tail of Xiling Mountain, and there were palace guards secretly lurking in ambush. No results have been obtained, and it is scheduled to be withdrawn from the sentry post on the sixth day of the first month......"
The heavily defended Xiao family's military camp was not easy to approach. What's more, in addition to himself, there is no shortage of other peepers in Park Town.
With a dim yellow face, Zhou Manyun's gaze flickered away from some suspicious characters, and his cold little hand grabbed Xu Yu's arm and shook it vigorously.
Get back? Xu Yu inquired with his eyes.
Man Yun nodded with difficulty, he couldn't enter the Xiao family's military camp, and staying in Pu Zhen overnight couldn't help but increase the risk.
The two siblings sitting in the small food shop at the entrance of the town paid a few copper coins. With a look of pride on the way home.
As the day passed noon, the shadows on the road were stretched diagonally, and they were stacked on the tiptoes of the strangers who were faintly following in the distance.
"Three!" , Man Yun raised his eyes and looked at a small forest on the right hand side.
Xu Yu nodded, reached out and stroked a piece of grass rope that was hanging on his waist. With a humming mouth, like an ordinary vulgar peasant in the countryside looking for a convenient place, he aimed at a big tree and walked straight over.
Zhou Manyun hurriedly followed in three steps and two steps.
As if they were suffering from stomach troubles, the figures of the two country brothers had just disappeared into the shadows of the trees, and several men squeezed through together, and there was a thumping sound in the woods, as if they had moved their fists and feet because of the dispute over the land.
Man Yun, who sneaked up on him, received a claw on his shoulder, and the cow's heart bun with a straw hairpin on his head fell to the side.
A slender middle-aged man met her, with a thin black face with several criss-crossing scars, and a broken left arm, but he was still as flexible as an ape, and his eagle eyes were cold.
Man Yun's eyes flashed with tears, and he grabbed the middle-aged man's empty left sleeve, and shouted at Xu Yu, who was not far away, "Brother, don't fight!" ”
"Miss Six!" , Lu Harrier twisted his body and stood, afraid for a while. If it weren't for the hint of déjà vu, his claw would have wanted to directly slash the throat of the sneak attacker.
After three levels of open and secret investigation, Zhou Manyun was brought into the barracks by Lu Harizi.
Smiled apologetically at Xu Yu, who was led to another place, Zhou Manyun, who was hanging alone in front of the Chinese military tent, quietly closed his eyes slightly, the hot autumn sun burned the top of his hair, and the color dots danced distorted and swaying in the black, chaotic.
The barracks concentrated a large number of strong men with strong blood, and their breaths were also chaotic, with the help of silver, Zhou Manyun worked hard to find the person he was looking for.
Knowing that calming her mind will get twice the result with half the effort, her heart is still surging like a tide, and the bottom of the wave cannot be calmed.
Human beings are impermanent, and people's bodies are both strong and weak. Just like Uncle Lu, who I haven't seen for a year, lost his arm on the way back to Yunzhou that year, and in the past year, there are still many old acquaintances in Jiangnan who have lost their lives, and the An Jiayin he extorted back then can no longer be continued, but there are still this group of people in Jiangnan who want to return......
"Miss Six! The Son sent you to his tent to meet you. Lu Harrier, who turned back to Cheng Tongchuan, called softly, and there was a faint confusion hidden under his flat face.
It's not as good as in the past in Huocheng You can match the two children at will, but now you can't know the details, the sixth prince was injured Manyun came to investigate, the prince had a strange attitude, and he didn't dare to ask more.
Xiao Ze's tent?
Alone in the center of the dome, Man Yun looked around. Finally, he fixed his eyes on the cyan curtain behind the large table.
The thick curtain in the middle is not transparent to the slightest light, but the two sides are rolled up into two small side doors, and the doors are blocked by green yarn of the same color.
Man Yun's eyes instantly turned red.
Xiao Ze, who had been sitting high behind the desk and observing Man Yun's every move, pursed the corners of his mouth and let out a sneer.
Xiao Ze's eyebrows and eyes were frank and poured out contempt and hatred, and Zhou Manyun, who understood it all at once, calmed down his rapid breathing.
This is not the worst outcome than expected.
Zhou Manyun took a deep breath. Kneeling respectfully, he begged sincerely and softly: "Xiao Shizi! Please let the folk girl see him, just one side! ”
The woman's tone of determination in the camp and her suddenly calm eyes made Xiao Ze's eyes flash darkly, and he clasped his hands on the table, and when he let go, he waved his hand and ordered all the guards in the tent to retreat.
"Xiaoliu hasn't said anything! It's just that the Xiao family has a secret stake in the palace, and I know everything I should know!"
The hidden hidden pile does not know who the party in front of the Stacking Building is, but several pieces of news came out one after another, and Xiao Ze can know the cause and effect as soon as he integrates it. Although he revealed that he already knew the whole truth. is a little cruel to his younger brother who has always been tight-lipped, but Xiao Ze can't tolerate Zhou Manyun questioning Xiaoliu's character, even if the woman has already fallen in love with Xiao Hong.
"I want to see him!" , Zhou Manyun smiled with relief and took a step forward.
The woman who doesn't want to face in front of him is the magic barrier in Xiao Liu's life, although not long ago, Xiao Hong swore to himself that he would let go of Zhou Manyun's heart, but he also had to confirm that Manyun's safety made Xiao Ze not very relieved. If this woman is allowed to meet Xiao Hong face to face, she will shamelessly cry and plead. Maybe his stupid brother will be soft-hearted again.
Xiao Ze flicked his teeth, and then leaned back in his chair to listen intently. There was no sound of needles falling in the tent, and his tense face showed a bit of gentleness, and he proudly straightened up and said to the woman under the seat: "He doesn't want to see you!" ”
This is something that a woman who is not stupid in front of her should know it.
The condescending man said even more arrogantly: "Miss Saturday, not only will he not see you now, but he will not see you in the future!" Please go back to Huocheng first and wait. The Xiao family will handle the matter of retiring from relatives properly. From now on, it has nothing to do with your marriage between men and women. ”
Zhou Manyun stood up quietly, his heart turbulent. Xiao Ze, who was blocking the front, was as solid as a rock, so that she couldn't wait to scream and rush over directly, hitting him to pieces.
"Miss Saturday! You're a girl's family. It's better for me to call someone in and drag you out, right? The threat in Xiao Ze's eyes became a little more gloomy.
"Xiao Shizi! The matter of retiring from relatives, Man Yun responded! But I also only begged the prince to let me see him, not for anything else, just to relieve his poison. Zhou Manyun stiffened and looked straight ahead, and his eyes, which were still sparkling, were already as quiet as an abyss.
"Then don't bother the girl. The Xiao family also has its own divine doctor to worship, and he will help Xiaoliu detoxify. Xiao Ze smiled on his face, secretly hating rebirth in his heart.
"Xiao Shizi, Xiao ...... The sixth prince already has a congenital hidden disease of the lung meridian, and has been frequently poisoned in the past two years. Even if you ask for a good doctor, you must not be sure about the order and severity of detoxification, but most of these poisons come from the hands of people's daughters. ”
Xiao Ze slowly walked in front of Zhou Manyun, resisted the urge to kick over, and looked down, Manyun looked at him quietly with a pair of eyes on the opposite side of his face, thinking that he wanted to dig out the panic in his heart.
"The sixth prince is highly poisonous, and it is inconvenient to march, and when he laughs alone and sleeps again, Xiao Shizi is sure that the sixth prince can carry it?" Zhou Manyun pursed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and simply seduced him: "What's more, the chaos in Xiakou City has appeared, and the supreme in the palace has also been poisoned by the people's daughter, if the mountain collapses, the prince's troubles will be more, and the health of the sixth prince will make you feel a lot more at ease, right?" ”
"You've never been close to what you're today! The strange beast called Amethyst in the palace can only recognize poison! Even though he loved his younger brother and heard a big thing, Xiao Ze couldn't help but be attracted to attention, and as soon as he said it, he immediately bit the tip of his tongue with regret.
"I put the slow poison on Zhang Xixi's hair. According to the performance of amethyst in front of the Stacking Building that day, nine times out of ten it was deceived. Zhou Manyun turned sideways, moved a small step towards the cyan gauze tent and said: "The prince and the sixth prince, no matter how much they hate me and annoy me, they will never take these military affairs as a child's play." When I see Xiao Hong, I will tell Shizi the details of the poison. ”
Xiao Ze suddenly stretched out an arm to block in front of Man Yun, his face like a flat lake. He didn't dare to believe the enchantress's clever words.
"Shizi wants to know! Isn't it? Zhou Manyun stretched out a slender finger and pushed Xiao Ze's arm, his words were cold, but his eyebrows were lightly raised.
"Brother! Let her in! After the green tent, which had not made a sound since Man Yun entered the tent, there was a tired call, and the voice was extremely familiar.
Xiao Ze's arm slowly let go, and Zhou Manyun breathed a sigh of relief and ran straight to the back of the tent.
Compared to the bright front, it was dim behind the thick cyan tent. Xiao Hong's voice floated up leisurely from the darkest corner, like a thread that entangled Zhou Manyun's steps forward.
"You've seen it, and you're good to go. I don't need you to help me detoxify, not at all! Because I'm dead, and you've slain! Zhou Manyun ......" (to be continued......)
