Chapter 23: The Essentials

When the other Jinyi guards saw Jiang Lu coming out, they all surrounded them, and under the leadership of Jiang Lu, they were far away from the entrance of the temple, and then asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what's the matter?" ”

On this trip, the highest status of Jinyiwei is Qianhu Jianglu.

Jiang Lu's face darkened: "It's okay, you go and count the number of people and see if the brothers have any mistakes?" ”

"Yes."

Another said: "Big brother rest assured, I have just carefully checked it, they are not our brothers, and they are all from Dongchang." ”

Jiang Lu said: "Having said that, it is still not to be taken lightly. This time it's the East Factory, and next time maybe it's us. The poisoning incident was silent and very dangerous. ”

"Cheer up, this journey to Beijing is afraid that it will be very difficult."

"Yes!"

As he was talking, Xue Qi stepped out of the gate and loudly ordered the others to guard strictly, not only the inner courtyard, but also the outer courtyard.

The words fell, and his eyes looked at Jiang Lu's side.

Jiang Lu didn't say anything, and directly recruited someone to go to the outer courtyard.

Seeing Jiang Lu like this, Xue Qi quickly arranged for people to defend the inner courtyard, and he himself paced to the door of the main hall and stood outside.

On a dark and rainy night, the wind was raging and the rain was pouring down, and it was quiet in all directions, and the occasional whisper was drowned in the sound of the rain.

In the empty and dilapidated temple, a person sat on a silk silk, not far away, the bonfire was jumping, and the corpses were printed on a ground with hideous corpses, quiet and weird.

After a long time, Hua Qian woke up slowly. She sat up slightly straight, and lifted her head, which seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds.

What's going on?

She remembered that she ate a steamed bun, drank a bowl of soup, and a roast chicken thigh, and then stopped waking up.

Hua sat up with difficulty, glanced around, a little confused in her heart, from her point of view, she couldn't see the faces of those people clearly, and she only thought that everyone was resting. I felt a little strange in my heart, but I couldn't say it.

She thumped her head again, hissing, feeling like her brain was being trampled by dozens of grass and mud horses at the same time, and there was only a bubble of pulp left with a bang.

My head hurts.

"You're awake."

"Hmm." She put her hand on her knee, rubbed her forehead, and casually pointed not far away: "They go to bed so early." ”

"Dead."

Hua Qian paused, and slowly raised his head in disbelief: "Huh? ”

All dead?

"Then I'm ......" she nervously touched herself up and down, but fortunately, except for her limbs, which were still a little weak, there was no other discomfort.

"The princess is lucky, naturally nothing happens."

Hua Qian ignored him, she struggled to her feet, and walked over to inspect the dead people, who had black facial features and hideous faces, apparently poisoned to death.

I dined with her not long ago, why is she okay?

She just let down her guard when she saw that they were fine after eating for a long time, and she really didn't expect that someone could poison them unknowingly.

"Why am I okay?" She didn't believe in any luck, lucky she could meet him?

Xue Jinian was very straightforward, "Because there is only one antidote pill from Bendu." ”

"You...... Are you going to have this one? Otherwise, how would you carry the antidote pill with you? "I can't blame her for thinking too darkly, as far as Dongchang's consistent style, they said that they did it and some people believed it, but it was impossible to say that they were crazy and only killed their own people.

I have to say, she is still too tender.

"Tsk, Ben Du thinks that the princess should be grateful to Ben Du first. If it weren't for the Governor's foresight, how could the princess have such confidence to ask for guilt at this time? ”

Hua Qian pursed her lips before whispering, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome."

"But I still have to ask, how did you know this was going to happen?"

Xue Jinian glanced at her with a faint expression: "Walking the rivers and lakes, isn't this a must-have?" ”

Hua Qian choked, she suddenly remembered that they met for the first time, she was going to feed them Shixiang San, but now it seems that fortunately she didn't move at that time, otherwise, I'm afraid it will not be as simple as taking an arrow.

Hua Qian's mouth muttered, rolled her eyes, and decided not to take the stalk.

Anyway, it's good that she's not dead anyway.

Rummaging through those dead people again, she wanted to see if she could find out the cause of the poison, but unfortunately her medical skills were not perfect, and the poison was even more black beans.

If only Master was here, it would be fine.

"Does the Governor know the origin of this poison?"

"Bi Lingtian."

Hua Qian was stunned: "Do you know?" ”

She asked casually.

"Since the princess asked, doesn't she just hope that Ben Du will answer?"
